Twitch & AICN Present: International Eye Candy! RED CLIFF Part 2 trailer! A Russian remake of To's BREAKING NEWS, and more!!!
International Eye Candy
November 26th, 2008
Yes, kids, it's cold and snowy and wet here in Canada, weather we refer to locally as "shitty" and which inspires us all to stay indoors, eat prepackaged foods and watch movies. Movies? Yes, you figured out where I'm going next you clever sod, it's time for our fortnightly trawl through the pages of Twitch for a new installment of International Eye Candy! It's an Asia-heavy installment this time out but along with the trailer for the latest John Woo outing we've got Czech graphic novels, Canadian gore and the proverbial so much more! Here we go!
We'll kick things off with the Woo, shall we? Part One of Woo's massive RED CLIFF war epic is mauling the box office all across Asia which means the time is ripe to strike with Part Two and that's exactly what they're doing. What can you expect? More battles! More carnage! More patented Shido Nakamura crazy-face! More of Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung making the girls swoon. And, of course, brand new trailers and we've got the very first one for RED CLIFF PART TWO for your perusal.
Find the RED CLIFF 2 trailer here!
What the hell ... we'll follow the Woo with quite possibly the only Asian project to aim bigger - albeit cheaper - this year, that being Yukihiko Tsutsumi's massive three part adaptation of cult hit apocalypse-conspiracy manga 20TH CENTURY BOYS. Part One was a hit at home and Part Two is currently being prepped to go head to head with RED CLIFF 2 in early 2009. No Nakamura crazy-face in this - a shame since there are very few films that wouldn't benefit from a good dose of Nakamura - but like RED CLIFF this part two does indeed include more action and more explosions. And also giant robots. Whee!

Man ... even when we try to leave Asia this week we can't really leave, if you know what I mean. What's keeping us there? Well, it aint Anders Banke, the Swedish directors of NEWSMAKERS. Nope. And it certainly aint the fact that despite the Swedish director this is a Russian film through and through. Nope, the Asian element is the source material: NEWSMAKERS is the long rumored Russian remake of Hong Kong director Johnnie To's action opus BREAKING NEWS. Film's done, it opens in Russia in April and Banke was kind enough to pass us an English subtitled version of the very first teaser.
Make some NEWS here
So, we've done China. We've done Japan. We've sort of done Hong Kong and will be back to do things there properly a little later. That leaves, believe it or not, four more Asian countries to stop in before we're done and here we are with our first of two forays into Thailand. The film is DEEP IN THE JUNGLE, a modern spin on a local snake-woman tale recast as a sort of horror-romance-action hybrid. Now, this one comes from Thai production house Phranakorn Film who normally produce low budget pulp that performs well in Thailand but won't play for crap anywhere else. I normally don't pay any attention to Phrankorn releases but this one actually looks pretty damn good and not just because of the snake lady. Definitely worth checking out.
Go DEEP IN THE JUNGLE here
Let's finish up with Thailand now, shall we? and to do so I need you to ask yourself one very simple question: What goes better with sports (and gambling) than violence? Nothing! That's what! And the folks behind upcoming basketball flick FIREBALL - it shares a director with the fascinating but flawed karmic superpower film OPAPATIKA - were clever enough to figure this out. The result? Full contact, combat muay thai basketball. Do you really need to know anything else?
Well, you need to know the FIREBALL trailer is here, for one thing
If the world were a just and fair place indie sci fi musical western THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT would have made an instant cult icon of director Cory McAbee and his cohorts but the world is neither just nor fair and McAbee had the great misfortune of premiering his film at the Toronto Intnerational Film Festival on the weekend of September 11th. Yes, the premiere still happened but it's safe to say that the world's attention was elsewhere at the time and as a result this absolute gem has remained largely overlooked and McAbee has been left scrambling to put together his next project. Fans have been hoping he'd get his WEREWOLF HUNTERS OF THE MIDWEST - also a musical - off the ground but that one hasn't happened yet. What has happened, however, is STINGRAY SAM. Also also a musical STINGRAY SAM is designed as a sic episode - ten minutes per episode - serial to be viewed on phones and other mobile devices. And lest you think small screens equals low quality this one turned out so well that it'll be premiering at the 2009 Sundance Festival.

>From America we head north to my homeland and Winnipeg based film maker Steven Kostanski. Kostanski's part of a wee collective known as Astron-6 who fill their days shooting trailers for non-existent 1980's straight to video shlock. Kostanki's the effects whiz of the group and for his latest directorial effort he aimed for something a little higher than a spoof trailer, shooting an astounding twenty minute short titled HEART OF KARL. A fusion of live action, stop motion and latex prosthetics Kostanski and his tiny, micro-budgeted crew have created one of the most shockingly original things I've seen in a good while, a film that plays like the bastard love child of Guy Maddin and Sam Raimi.

And back to Asia we go, this time to Indonesia and Barry Prima's 1984 action picture THE WARRIOR. Yeah, it's an old one but it's a good one and has just received it's first ever DVD release. Why bother with a film older than a good percentage of the people reading this column? Kung fu, witchcraft, decapitations and 1980s style arterial sprays. They don't make 'em like this any more - they hardly made 'em like this back when they were making 'em like this - and that makes me sad.

Any fans of Vietnamese martial arts flick THE REBEL out there? 'Cause I sure as hell am and I've been eagerly awaiting anything new from the principals of that film ever since. Well, here comes Dustin Nguyen - THE REBEL's villain - in THE LEGEND IS ALIVE, a new Vietnamese action-drama hybrid in which Nguyen stars as a mentally disable kung fu expert whose only goal is to take his mother to America. Yeah, the device has been used a couple of times recently but Nguyen looks great in the lead role, the cinematography is great, the director is solid and the martial arts work looks excellent. This one's the complete package and due for a Vietnamese release on their local New Year.

Another break from the Asian onslaught here with a test reel from ALOIS NEBEL, a rotoscoped animated feature based on a popular Czech graphic novel. Now, this one is still a looooooong way from being finished but if this animation test is any indication it is going to be very well worth the wait. Personally I'm already a big fan of this animation technique - it's the same deal as WAKING LIFE and A SCANNER DARKLY in which live action footage is painted over by animators - but the kicker to this is that instead of using the technique to create characters that mimic the behavior of their real life counterparts the film makers here are using the technique to create hyper-realistic replicas of the characters and settings from the source novel. It's such an obvious use for the technique that I'm surprised nobody has done it before.

Is this the first IEC column to include a pair of American productions? It may very well be, but apparently James Boss' WHITEWALL features a good amount of production work from Macau so there is, again, an Asian angle. What is it? Low budget post-apocalyptic goodness with a heavy martial arts component and one hell of a cinematographer. They've only released a brief teaser so far but it's certainly done its job: I want more. Now.
Go behind the WHITEWALL
Our Asian tour nears its end now with a stop in Korea and upcoming horror effort 4 DAY. Now, Korea normally crams as much horror as humanly possible into the summer release schedule but broke from that tradition this year by releasing only a single summer horror flick, the school set hit slasher GOSA: THE DEATH BELL. Aiming to release sometime in the winter 4 DAY looks to be a slightly more grown up version of that same basic formula witha group fo adults returning to their old school - now long abandoned - where they become the target of an angry ghost and blood flows freely. Slashers seem to eb the thing in Korea these days and this looks to be a good one.
Check the 4 DAY trailer here
The Asian section of the column concludes now with our promised visit to Hong Kong proper and what must surely be the most hotly anticipated martial arts film of the past few years, a film so lusted after that a sequel has been greenlit before the first film even releases to theaters. What is it? Wilson Yip's IP MAN, in which Donnie Yen stars as the martial arts master of Bruce Lee. We've included some earlier IP MAN trailers in previous IEC columns and there's a new, longer, subtitled one fresh on the scene and it is just as jaw dropping as what came before. This looks absolutely stunning.
Check all the IP MAN trailers here. And count just how many times Donnie hits the guy before the guy hits the ground. Crazy.
We wrap things up now in Russia with the latest from Fyodor Bondarchuk's huge budget scifi spectacle INHABITED ISLAND. Based on a story by the Strugatsky Brothers - also the authors of STALKER - this is pretty easily the most hotly anticipated film in Russia this coming year, a full on action spectacle from one of the country's very best, and while they've released a number of teasers and trailers for it before now they've actually played remarkably coy with new materials throughout, generally replacing only a single shot when progressing from trailer to trailer, always making the audience feel like they've experienced more of the world than they really have. No more. This is a brand new trailer made up almost entirely of brand new footage and it shows off the action, the environments and the design work far more than anything that has come before. Looking tasty.

the first part was pretty awesome, so I have high hopes for the second.
-
Whats up man? You still up? Gonna watch the Strangers tonight. After last nights hum dum Cock hand, hopefully this'll be something. The lady friend didn't like Them, but she really wanted to see this movie? Hopefully its a little different.

stiil, it's always nice to get a new Twitch crop!

And please....get some RUN BITCH RUN action on your site. They got white bitches, black bitches, asian bitches, holy bitches, hell....they even got bitches on bitches.

like shit. Sure, lots of money thrown at the screen, great production values. Except, it all looks like Babylon AD (that Vin Diesel dreck) and other lame Sci-fi channel movies. The fact that it's based on the writings of one of the greatest teams of sci-fi writers in history is only incidental to this film. It may as well have been based on a toy commercial, a la He-Man. Knowing the director, this is not a case of the trailers showing only the action, and the actual movie being far more cerebral and intellectually introspective than the previews lead you to believe. In this case, what you see is what you'll get. The guy can obviously frame shots and shoot action and SFX, but so can Brett Rattner. Bondarchuk wishes he was half-as-talented as his father (War and Peace), who himself was no Bergamn, but could shoot intelligent and epic dramas in his sleep. The majority of the actors here all look the same, like models. No personality and no obvious acting ability. If anything, to a Russian, the dialogue in this movie, and it's delivery, is so painful that it makes soaps seem like Masterpiece Theater in comparison. Much like that mutant who did the Night/Day Watch series and Wanted, Russia now seems utterly incapable of producing any real talent like it used to in cinema. All they try now is to show US that they can wield the camera and the digital editing software just like AMERICANS! Hey yall, we got nothing to hang this shit on, but DAMN we can make it look just as good! The real directors, masters of Russian cinema from the golden days, like Nikita (Burnt by the Sun) Mikhalkov and Alexei Gherman (of soon-to-be-masterpiece Hard to be a God), still work today, but they are much more interested in dull and boring stuff like making films that resemble reality (meaning, GASP, using actors who are not good-looking and writing dialogue that approximates how real people talk) and actually have something to say other than "Hey, lookie at the new cool CGI shit we can now do!" This looks like it has less soul and character than Twilight. Ugh...
-
seems like a great little sci-fi franchise. And Red Cliff 2 of course, looking forward to how that's gonna continue, definitely looks like it will have more action than the first.
Fireball looks kickass, we need a real sports like that on tv! but is it just me, or do they use the same damn sound effect for every hit? That kinda ruined the trailer for me a little. -
I've missed that.
-
for Inhabited Island in a previous Twitch column. Looks interesting but so bad at the same time. And Babylon was even worse than all the pre-release trashing it got was telling me.
-
http://tinyurl.com/64sa65
Tell me that's not the best trailer voiceover ever! -
That's a very throw back looking movie. it probably is one of the better voice over I've heard in a while.
-
Will this one actually MAKE SENSE and do away with the typically cock-eyed performance of that singular piece of non-emoting ass known as Kelly Chen?
-
is at least a quality director compared to Bondrchuk. La Haine was awesome and I really dug Crimson Rivers (he didn't do part II but that wasn't too bad either.) It appears that, unlike Bondarchuk, Kassovitz got really screwed by the studio while making Babylon AD. Kassovitz is good at handling characters and stylish filmmaking. Bondarchuk just knows how to shoot expensive sets. He is qlueless when it comes to coherent storytelling and developing emotional connection with actors. He's like Michael Bay, but without the ability to make ridiculously fun action sequences. However, the Russian remake of Breaking News does look pretty cool. The way the country is now, this film seems entirely plausible. I like the original enough, but parts of it were pretty stilted. So a remake does not seem like sacrilige in this case.
-
That movie looks fucking creepy as hell. That 30 second trailer was twice as terrifying as the hour 15min of the Strangers.
-
Now I'm gonna have to go 2+ years sitting around waiting for it to come out. Just like AICN news did to me with Nightwatch. Hopefully I'll get to see this Flash Gordon and Solarbabies mash up update in theaters as well. I remember seeing posters for Nightwatch in theaters like almost a year before it ever was released with a big ole Harry Knowles quote on it.
-
too short though
-
GIVE ME THE CAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!
-
hooo!
-
Fucking worst horror movie I've ever seen. Starring the original Roc and Drew Carry's cross dressing brother as bad guys. With a sweet Limp Bizkit O riginal. HAhahahah just checked out the cast list on IMDBizzle and turns out Ironman was in that garbage too.
-
fuck yeah
-
Really, really want to see 20th Century Boys.
-
I love horror, but there just seems to be so many of them.
-
last one I enjoyed at all recently was called Cold Prey, and it was a foreign film that followed the basic formula, but actually managed to be fun and creepy.
Though, it depends if you consider Behind the Mask a slasher film. See that yet, Jarv? Hilarious, and it was set not too far from me in Glen Echo MD. It's the movie that is a mockumentary about a film crew following around a young yuppie who is aspiring to be the next big slasher in a world where freddy, jason and michael meyers actually existed. -
was sadly, rather lame, despite the best efforts of Ron Perlman and Thomas Jane and, for his five minutes, John Malkovich. It just looked super cheap. If you guys had a problem with Sky Captain, then imagine if Sky Captain had been made at a community college on the week their software went wonky and you are starting to get a good idea. Also, the story, while compelling in concept, was rather tedious in execution. It should have been great. Keep the same cast, but get a good scriptwriter and a budget, and you have something here.
-
Ok, no interest in actually watching that at all, but they did catch the feel of that type of film better than a certain heavily touted uber-director fraucus from last year. And the narrator's exclamation of the film's title was easily the best thing about it.
-
HOD, we need to find the first installment of this ASAP. I'll start my search on this side of things.
-
I was looking forward to it. Not seen behind the mask.
-
looks great, Sammo and Donnie are BEASTS
-
I just had an orgasm watching the Ip Man trailers. They nailed the technical stuff with the forms and the chain punching. There needs to be a sequel where Ip Man has his battle with the drug Heroin, that takes the story up into the late fiftes with Jun Fan Li (Aka Bruce Lee). The 20th Century Boy stuff needs to be bought by Hollywood and done in the style of Watchmen...
-
put Behind the Mask on the Love Film queue. That way you will get it by 2010. Seriously, check it out. A movie where a guy plans his massacre, complete with Scott Wilson as his slasher mentor who married the "survivor girl", Zelda Rubinstein as his potential first victim, Robert Englund as his "Ahab", the obsessed therapist hunting him down, and his own survivor girl, the person he plans to stalk and who will eventually defeat him in the end.
The scene where he demonstrates how to trick your victims into thinking you can only walk stilted and slow while chasing them is priceless. -
is like one of those docus about a guy with a dream, who just wants to realize it, and the docu shows his training and preparation. Then the final third becomes the slasher film it's been building towards. And the whole thing is quite witty.
-
There seems to be a lack of it at the moment.
-
Happy Thanksgiving Twitch..
Also, any word on that movie Charleston and Vendetta, which I think may now be called A Touch of Magic or soemthing like that?
Been waiting for a chance to see that. Would help if I knew the new title.
Also, Jarv, Miyazaki's new one, Ponyo is pretty good, more akin to something like Totorro or Kiki's Delivery Service though. -
I'm quite surprised they've got it.
-
there are a few decent films out there, and Let the Right One In is great, but it's more of a creepy drama when you get right down to it.
-
really
-
seriously- it's being rated very highly everywhere,
-
because I hadn't read your post properly.
-
Now I feel stupid.
-
I may try to find out.
-
Depending. I could get bored.
-
I'm about as sharp as a marshmallow today
-
I'm going to the pub to watch England get ritually violated by New Zealand in the Rugby. I shall be consoling myself with enough guinness to flood the world. Mrs Jarv, being as it is Turkey Day seems to have invited every American waif and stray in North West London to our flat, so I shall be hungover. I have got City of Men and Central Station to watch, which will be excellent. I may kick off such a brazilian feast with City of God first.

Lost Jarv, at least you get to see the Haka!
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Fred loves watching the New Zealanders do the Haka before matches.
-
my wife sprained a muscle in her back yesterday, so I've got cooking duty today, but looks like the rest of the weekend will be mostly movie marathons as a result.
City of Men was good, but it was no City of God. Central Station was great. -
Fred is ready and rarin to go for all turkey day festivities!
-
a 50 point obliteration (which is on the cards)- NZ aren't that great, but England are THAT shit

Fred plans to do a Haka before eating Turkey
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
That will put Fred in proper mood for turkey destruction!
-
sprained muscle in her back? That sounds familiar. Mrs. Jarv is still sulking about the lack of pumpkin availability, so she's made apple pie instead. I do all the cooking normally, so this has me worried.
-
But the last one against Wales was good. The Welsh faced the kiwis down- but then got hammered.

The Welsh looked liked they wanted to do something particularly nasty to the Kiwis

it looks promising..

Remember Turkeys are not amphibians!

But who knows what future holds? We have turduckens now, maybe a Toaducken is in the future!

"A raunchy Christmas comedy can work - see "Bad Santa" - but going dirty means increased risk. The difference between the average unfunny Christmas comedy and this one is the difference between grandpa telling you knock-knock jokes and grandpa telling you knock-knock jokes with his bathrobe open as his hand creeps up your thigh."
-
Echo is right Behind the Mask was awesome. One of the coolest horror movies I've seen in a while. My favorite line: I have to stay in such good shape, its hard to make it look like your walking when they are running.

How'd you see Ponyo? English subtitles already?

Did any of you catch this fucking legendary Rickroll? http://tinyurl.com/6ast9l And that Inhabited Island movie looks kinda cool. But it looks like its just begging for Michael Bay to put his name on it. They even use his font!

you have made my day. some dudes are going to get rick rolled.
-
happy thanksgiving y'all!the harka - motherfuckers. don't respect that. 'oh it's our traditional dance' we should get bunch of aboriginals out and wave spears in their face and glass them and shit yelling 'imgunnasteponyaneckcunt!' if you you want to see a great stare down the best one i have ever seen was in the rugby league final on sat. of course, we lost that.

If you slow down Kylie Minogue's vocals it sounds exactly like Rick Astley. Got a Kylie vinyl 45, played it at 33 rpm - instant Rick Astley. Well spooky.

In the making of Lord Of The Rings, the NZ stunt team did the Haka for Viggo Mortensen. He was visibly emotional by the gesture. Then he went round nutting them all in the face! Wish I knew why...

What a crazy random happenstance!

Told you!Do Twitch a big favour and check out the trailers. One or two look interesting.
-
But only if you chaps search out 'Colin.' It's a solid zombie film I saw at a festival a few weeks ago, really violent but rather good.

they are sweet

I'll go and find something on it if I can. Right this very moment.

Amazing how the Japanese can't do a great live-action sci-fi.
by hellking
With all their technology and years of anime, you figure they could pull out a great live-action sci-fi. Yet 20th Century Boys looks like US soap opera quality cinema. Look at the Russians with Inhabited Island. The cinematography and art direction is top notch almost at par with Hollywood. Don't know about the story though. It could be crap.
-
Aye. I'm not sure it has, or will, reach the States, but I figure if can help out some Welsh chaps with a zombie film then I can stop bitching about how shit the UK film industry is.
-
Me UK! I found the official 'Colin' movie site. That footage looks raw... I notice there's something about 'seen through the eyes of the zombies.' That sounds different.Listen. Keep your voice down when mentioning the Welsh. If Lost Jarv hears you - you'll be in all kinds of pain.
-
Oh, that wouldn't end well. I'm having my blood pressued monitored till tomorrow morning, so I can't afford any Internet hate.
-
with us on this TB. Generally all good natured.Is 'Colin' going straight to DVD, do you know. I can't get enough zombies - and 'Diary Of The Dead' didn't do it for me.
-
Any chance this won't suck?
-
No idea. I saw it in a cinema, and I got the loose impression they were taking it festival to festival. Probably'll take a fair amount of word of mouth.
-
You mean the Kurt Wimmer movie with Milla Jovovich?I wouldn't out anyone off watching a film but - don't expect too much.
-
that should be.
-
it's pretty lame storywise, but I still enjoy the hell out of it!
-
But I can't stop watching. It's hardly like they're taking it seriously, at any rate - Milla had pink hair and PVC as her first costume.
-
I'll have to watch it again, I guess. I just recall expecting a lot more after Wimmer's magnificent 'Equilibrium.'If you're after wall-to-wall action, 'Ultraviolet' has got plenty.
-
How did it get started? I dont understand how it's supposed to be funny in any way. And now it's giving Rick Astley a comeback door? How pathetic...
-
He's won some kind of music award through all this. Saw an interview with Rick and to be fair he dismmised the whole thing as silly. He didn't even go to the ceremony to get his award.
-
How goes it?
-
Yes Astron-6 is a five man, no budget production and distribution company with one DVD for sale and a ton of short films, trailers etc of the direct-to-video, schlocky 80's variety. You can watch most of their stuff for free on their website (Astron-6.com). They are the guys that made that fake Dark Knight Alternate Leaked Ending that got so many hits on Youtube and was featured on PerezHilton. It involved a hilariously emotional Batman finding an overdosed Joker.
-
Everything's okey-dokey. How's your Thanksgiving shaping up?
-
Now I'm having a feast of chips. I have spicy thai "ginger with attitude" and plain tortilla with spicy queso. Testing my heartburn tolerance. I've definitely had worse holidays. Quiet is not so bad.
-
I'm making doughnuts for JC Penney's to give away to customers for their black Friday sale.
-
they are what we would call crisps over here! The flavours get weirder and weirder...
-
That sounds ominous!
-
Haven't been able to find them yet. I'm sure I would like them.
-
Combative shopping. People will literally attack you if you have something they want that is no longer available on the shelf. I'm staying out of the fray this year (though I have ventured in before).
-
this all sounds racist to me haha
-
We all got peace and love and brotherhood here, nuttin' else. Love the island attitude.
-
There's a story in that, Mav. Put the chips down and start scribbling.
-
Smoke two joints in the morning, smoke two joints at night... Just kidding.
-
On a break at the moment. More about possesion than fighting over toys and video games, although that does have serious potential.
-
ganna be a'right!
-
Reminds me of a book I saw recently. I think it was called "Zombie Haiku". Had photos throughout it with the poetry. It was supposed to be about a guy becoming a zombie.
-
I said it looks 'raw' but I did mean that in a good way. It says something about being from a zombie perspective. Unfortunately when I tried to read on, my PC conked! Had to reboot.
-
I may have to see if I can still find that haiku book. It was on a table at Barnes and Nobles, but I was low on cash that day. The photos they made for it were very interesting.
-
a top 'eye spearing' moment. And that guy, he's handy with that catapult isn't he!
-
Zombie movies are so much fun.
-
imho.
-
That's my favourite eye spearing moment. Got cut over here. A few years ago they released a video 'uncut' and when I got it - (big fanfare) - the eye spearing was cut.Possibly, there really IS an uncut version out now. I just haven't bothered looking after getting suckered the first time.
-
Don't know that one.
-
What year was that from?
-
They had a trailer for it here on Twitch a few months ago. It's about a gay zombie.
-
... around 1979. I'd have to confirm that. But the movie may have had a few different titles. I think it was known simply as 'Zombi' in some places.
-
With the zombie/shark battle?
-
is the director. That should've been with the other bit, I posted too soon!
-
Genius sequence!
-
Now I remember. Got to say - that didn't look good.
-
That is on my must-see list.
-
anything except eating living flesh. It's just wrong, man (and I'd say that if Otto was about a straight zombie, too).
-
it was also known as 'Zombi 2' as well. A totally barmy movie but highly enjoyable. Badly dubbed in places which adds to the amusement.
-
Lucio Fulci's best Movie ever.And peferect for Thanksgiving.XD
-
Sometime this weekend. My mission in life, after checking out "The Chin" is to find "Zombi" (under whichever of it's names I can locate first).
-
You'll bring that MILK crowd down on us with any more of that talk!
-
And we don't want our Twitch tb to be crying over spilled MILK.
-
I was too lazy to goggle... Google. Sorry.
-
Enjoy the rest of your evening.KEEP ON PARTYING, PEOPLE!
-
See you around this weekend, I'm sure. Have a great night.
-
I wonder if Steven is the same guy who worked on the muf/x with Todd Masters crew with me when they were here shooting. I thought his name was Steven and he had a shop in his basement to make his own prothetics.
-
Thanks man I'll get that a look see tomorrow.

Watching Planes Trains and Automobiles maybe for the first time? I don't know I just know that John Candy quote that was on Family Guy last week and i knew it and I didn't think I'd seen the movie. Maybe saw it when I was younger. Watched Tropic Thunder on the DVDS finally fucking best movie of the year. Still funny as shit on third viewing.
-
Does Goldie Looking Chain having anything new out. And how much do you hate them? Peace out I'm going to bed, I want to drive around town and look at the lines but everyone else is asleep so I'm gonna zonk out watching crap.
-
Austin City Limits with Thievery Corporation. There is some white dude just rocking out on the sitar like its just whatever you know everyone plays this.
-
Guest from Brazil and they are singing this song and I'm like I've fucking heard that. And its a Soulfly song thats like OOMP A DA DA UMP A. I guess its probably some Brazilian traditional song seeing that Soulfly guy is from Brazil.... i like his version better.
-
Looks a lot like this cool ass small indie Sci Fi movie. Its called American Astronaut, anyone know it? It was pretty cool, very Lynch feeling, but good not creepy. And the music in it was bad ass. Sucks just checked Netflicks and they no longer have it. I've noticed that more and more with the Flicks. There more obscure shit is disappearing. I wonder if its part of filtering their system of unrented movies, or people stealing them. Because you can easily steal movies from Netflicks. Movie I'm dying to see ever released on the DVDs, Crispin Glovers What Is It.
-
God damn that movie looks terrible. Even the director said that this christmas he knows what movie he is going to be seeing, No Country, because it looks good. Ok I'm out. Good looking pecking out humans eyes to get that Blu Ray disc tomorrow.
-
Looks like shit.
-
So it's been a pretty god week so far. I got paid. Yesterday I saw Syecdoche, New York, which was fucking amazing and beats The Fall my favorite movie of the year. Also, I finally got that Kelly's Heroes/Dirty Dozen double feature today., Bliss people, bliss. Lee Marvin is god.
-
Charlie Kaufman is. See his movie.
-
nursing a monster hangover. And we've no fucking milk. I don't like black coffee.
-
made some of the sickest, maddest films ever. Dude was fucked up. Most of them got banned over here, but they're seeping through now.
-
Have to drive 30 min to the cinema showing it then.
-
Bores me rigid. I'm going to spend today thinking about boobies.
-
small bird. Not breasts. If I meant breasts I would have said so. I'm not 6 for fuck's sake
-
It just may be worth it. If you consider yourself a fan of any of Charlie Kaufman's other work. You will probably enjoy it.
-
I mean breasts and I'm 6.
-
"Movember" is just finishing and I am sporting a mighty stache. Burt would be proud.
-
I was informed you didn't like the Welsh. Is this on the level? Because it sounds hilarious.
-
No more blood pressure monitoring. That was a game of keeps. And Ultra Violet was just hilarious.
-
I do look like a complete twat.
-
just because they are all misreable, chippy, offensive, annoying, sheep shagging wankers. I'm actually indifferent, but everyone should have an irrational hatred. You live in Wales don't you?
-
Yep. But I don't know many obviously Welsh people. They all seem very English.
-
I'm not Antipodean. OK, I do work in education and it's for charity, but I look like a complete twat. Some people are not meant to grow moustaches.
-
inferiority. Fuck the Welsh.
-
I got most of my head hair shaved off, but forgot to buy a razor... so now I look like a near-bald hobo.
-
That's ace. 'm busy photoshopping Yosemite Sam's Stache onto female staff members. Although some of them are equipped with mightily impressive ones already.
-
Twitch rules. All hail the Chin.
-
Is it an improvement?
-
I've put some mightily impressive facial hair on them. There was a dreadful photo of them as a group on a "work night out" that looked like a fucking outing from Battersea Dog's home. I "stached" them up and it's a vast improvement.
-
he's obviously got a lot of problems.
-
bitchslap Elmer Fudd. That strikes me as pretty obvious.
-
I don't, it's his own fault that he abused heroin.
-
Cocaine's a Helluva drug.
-
annoying fuck. Bugs should have jammed a carrot in his ass.
-
I hate Porky Pig, myself. Hell, the only one I like is Daffy Duck because he's so militant and pro-active.
-
makes him irrationally angry and more liable to substance abuse. The fudd has no excuse.
-
What a fudding fudd he is.
-
I always wanted to see one with Wile Coyote sitting down with Mrs. Coyote and tucking into a roast roadrunner.
-
before fucking him to death. He has to wrap duct tape round, otherwise Jerry would explode with Tom's length in his ass.\
-
When did they start talking? How shit is that?
-
Was it about the time that we got politically correct and wrote out the stereotypical black maid woman? Because that bugged me, for some reason. I understand doing it, but it seemed like they were trying to white-wash the cartoons.
-
sitting around the radio, so that one didn't bug me as much. Wile Coyote was an insane genious let down by shoddy equipment. He deserves to skull fuck roadrunner.
-
insane? Possibly, genius? well given that I can't spell genius, Obviously not
-
It had a pretty terrible script, but damn if it wasn't pretty. Still, it's maybe only like a 6 or 7 out of 10.Rewatched Aliens too. Not as riveting as it was when I was 13. In fact, if you ask me it dragged a lot of points. Still lots of fun though, and way better than half the bull shit they call action these days.
-
MMT? I missed out on watching that, sadly.
-
A white family? Odd.
-
Rabbit pie. That's what he should be. Except not for the Fudd, because the fudd is a cunt that deserves dog food.
-
You, Me, and Dupree and Along Came Polly jokes? talk about dated. It would have helped if it was at least funny the first time.
-
I rarely watch Family Guy, so when I do it's funny. If I watched it weekly, I'd probably be pissed.
-
SCORE! Now where do y'all stand on Goofy? Crystal meth addict is my opinion.
-
It was on Movies on Demand, if you would believe it. Yep, grandma's TV doesn't always have to play golf or the Fox News Channel.
-
I want to see this. Missed it in the summer. Aliens is good but not a masterpiece like Alien.
-
very possibly. I always thought he was doing speedballs.
-
it has some funny jokes. I enjoy a good visit from Buzz Killington. And I remember laughing for a good thirty seconds at a very funny M.C. Escher joke....that's about it.
-
sucks big donkey cock. It's just terrrible- set up "like that time when..." insert pop culture reference. Lazy and not funny- although there is the occasional good joke. The old paedo makes me want to throw rocks at Seth McFarlane.
-
my douche of an uncle kept trying to tell me that AVP was the second best Aliens movie after Aliens.???I know.
-
The Alien movies are best at the beginning, and then just drop with quality from there, just a little at first, and then a lot. None of them are really super bad, but the drop from masterpiece to totally average genre fare (the last two movies) is kinda rough.
-
I respect Alien, but wasn't a huge fan. Aliens is a little slow, but both of them are classics compared to the horror/action stuff we get nowadays.
-
that says that you actually must batter anyone that advocates such stupidity around the head with a rubber chicken. Alien 3 is underrated, and given the dreck that has followed from half way through resurrection, is looking much better as time passes.AvP:Rectum is an affront to humanity and one of the worst films ever made. I understand that they were trying to undo a lot of Paul Wank Stain Andersen's stupidity from AvP, but there is no fucking excuse at all for the SHIT fucking lighting in it. I bought a pirate copy (Completist nerd, had to- but was damned if I was contributing to their profit/ loss) of it and actually thought it was a bad copy, until a mate saw it round mine and said that he saw it in the cinema and it was actually meant to look like that. There is no excuse for such incompetence.
-
I wouldn't call it underrated. Maybe the producers/pseudo-directors cut is better... but the original was horrid.
-
The South Park double episode where Cartman tries to get Family Guy taken off the air was quality.I read an article about Trey Parker in which he said they weren't interested in making films anymore, because of Team America and how it was such a ball-ache to make.Boo!
-
other people that need slapping for it: Whichever cunt put the Alien skull in the Predator's ship in Predator 2. Because he's responsible at the end of the day for the fucking idea. Lance Henriksson, for being in the first one and thereby legitimising it.PWSAnderwank- obviously, WHichever cunt thought calling Lance "Mr Weyland" would give it credibility- twat Whichever cunt thought calling her "miss Yutani" in Rectum for the same reason Ewen Bremner- he's eminently slappable at the best of times, but I've never seen a more cliched character Whichever cunt thought that an Alien queen should be the size of Godzilla Whichever cunt thought "predalien" was a good idea Fincher, for the idea that teh Alien takes some of it's shape from the host. Whichever cunt fucked with continuity by having Aliens gestate from Facehugger to Adult in about 3 seconds.Whichever cunt thought it was a good idea to put an inca temple in the fucking Arctic and then have it move like some cut price Lament configuration. WHichever cunt thought it was a good idea to have the fucking predalien vomit foeti down a pregnant woman's throat Whichever cunt greenlit it Whichever cunt insisted on setting it on earth in the present day (DO NOT SET A FILM WITH XENOMORPHS IN IT IN SMALL TOWN USA) I could go on, but you get the point.
-
It's got a cracking script and I really like the design of it. It's also got some top drawer acting and Charles Dutton is badass. There are some great effects as well. However, there are some shockingly awful effects, and the Assembly cut is so far ahead of the theatrical version that I like to pretend the theatrical version doesn't exist.
-
Agree to disagree, sir. I had a particularly negative reaction to the film, to the extent where arguing about it is going to give me a headache.
-
I also think Fox are lying when they say the Assembly version is the best they can do- they've obviously still got a lot of cut footage as you can see it in the doc's in the Quadrilogy.
-
Bullet-time facehuggers. Sums up the film.
-

Alien 3 is better than people give it credit for...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Especially when you consider Fincher was fighting an uphill battle against Fox. The extended cut on the dvd was better. It got a bad rap because it wasn't Aliens, which is what people were expecting.Resurrection was a massive disappointment. I remember reading an early Whedon draft, before the frenchy came on board and it was much better. Many of the same elements, like the underwater bit, but it ended on earth and alien baby thing was kind of spidery (which didn't really make sense).The AvP's are a fucking abomination.
-
the other two movies aren't really bad compared to a lot of shit nowadays, but compared to their predecessors, it's pretty bad.
-
but also some dreadful continuity fuckups. It's a mixed bag, to be sure. I like it, but I understand why lots of people hate it.
-
2/3rd's good. The problems with Resurrection all start with the Alien Baby and the snake pit garbage. Whedon wants a smack for that. I maintain that you could do a great cyberpunk Alien 5 in a wrecked earth following straight on from Resurrection. Hire Neil Marshall and make it NOW.
-
that god had to make kittens a little bit cuter to redress the balance. Fucking AvP. My blood is boiling even thinking about it.
-
has always wanted an AVP movie with 0 actual people, just a plot with Predators fighting Aliens. Maybe some dialogue with the Predator hierarchy or something, but other than that, just straight up brawling. That's what AvP should be. It doesn't have to be like two hours either. Why bother if it's just a bunch of fight scenes?
-
for not repeating the formula. It did try to do something different, plus it had the balls to kill ripley at the end, which was a kind of fitting conclusion. If they'd left it at that and not been cash-hungry fuckers and conjured up a way to get Ripley back and continue the franchise. I would've been happy with the trilogy as a whole, but now it feels like we need a 5th to properly conclude the series.
-
I was drunk when I started watching AVP. When the Facehugger entered bullet-time, I left the room in disgust.
-
yes, I've thought that. But I wouldn't mind some space marines trying to escape.
-
Nov 28, 2008 5:27:34 AM CST
The Queen at the end of AvP just looked like...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Spielbergs T-Rex. I'm sure they just painted over the CG wireframe. It had the dangly little arms and everything.
-
What more can Ripley do? She's killed an Alien, killed a dozen Aliens, lost her kid, lost her military crush, lost her surrogate kid, died, been cloned, gone crazy(ier), had sex with an Alien, been a pseudo-parent of a fucked up looking Alien... I have no idea what she could do next that wouldn't be chronically dumb.
-
Not to mention to attempt to restore some of the series former glory after the AvP asspounding. It was on Channel 4 quite recently, and I started watching it thinking that it mightn't be as bad as I rememebered and then was forced to turn it off in apoplexy when the bullet time happened. It nearly went off when spud started talking about his fucking kids.
-
I remembered the Space Marines being much cooler in Aliens. They seemed pretty tame upon rewatching it. I know it was kind of the point to emphasize what efficient killers the aliens were, but they really were pretty lame. Even those two with the really big guns didn't do much of anything at all. The best part with the marines was when that one tough girl marine had the alien pinned in the vent with her foot and was blasting it with a handgun. More shit like that would have been nice. All of them dying in about two minutes...off screen? Not so cool.
-
Fuck work. Has anyone seen Body of Lies or Changeling? Might go see one of those this weekend.
-
Simple solution. Give Fincher another shot. Zodiac was incredible - he's come so far as a director that I think he'd make an outstanding Alien flick now.
-
only solution. Anything else would have to involve super Ripley- which was a shocking idea to begin with, Whedon you fucking hack.
-
Is either inspiring as a cinema flick? Both look good, but where's the amazing blockbusters? QoS just didn't cut it for me.
-
I say she commits suicide by blowing her head off with a machine-gun, and sends her notes to the head of Weyland-Yutani. They sigh, and hire a group to destroy the Aliens once and for all. Real vicious fuckers.
-
Nov 28, 2008 5:38:50 AM CST
I don't want another AvP flick
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Its a stupid idea to begin with.And Finchers way too good to waste on that type of shit. I'm really looking forward to Button, and I think it's the first time I've said that about a Pitt film since Fight Club.
-
Neil Marshall Alien 5. Totally fits the philosophy of the early Alien films and he obviously digs the style. Fincher would rock, as would Ridley Scott (who said he would do another before AvP assraped that, thanks Fox).
-
Seriously, get Martin Campbell to direct all future Bonds or give it up.
-
well sure it's a bad idea NOW that we have two shitty movies to lathe and hate entirely and absolutely, but back in the day, when I was like thirteen or something, the idea of an AvP movie sounded TOO FUCKIN COOL. Surely it was the same for you yes? You must admit this at least eh?
-
YES. If you have the style of Dog Soldiers with a modest budget and less of the humour that could be excellent. But only if they leave him the fuck alone and let him make the film he wants to make.
-
Nov 28, 2008 5:42:29 AM CST
Neil Marshall directed The Descent?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
If so, yes. He can make Alien 5. That flick is the only horror that has scared me in at least a decade.
-
Word. I STILL don't understand what happened in the 'interrogation' sequence at the start. Someone clearly gets shot, but they never mention it again.
-
Yes, i will concede that in the aliens/predator days when i was about 10 it would've been the greatest idea in the history of ideas.
-
You can't let the cynic in you take over (as fun as it may be). We can still dream, friend. We can still dream...
-
because the Alien films are by far the biggest casualty, is that it has put a fucking bullet in the head (Vasquez stylee- foot on throat first) of another good predator film. Predator 2 is underrated as well. I really like the Urban Jungle idea. The order is: 1) Alien (masterpiece)2)Aliens (classic, but not as good as Alien) 3)Predator (Good fun. Arnold on fine form and an excellent monster design 4)Alien 3 (as discussed a mixed bag)5)Predator 2 (ditto) 6)Alien Resurrection (still good, but veering towards poor) 7)AvP- as discussed, dreadful 8)AvP: rectum- FUCKING ABOMINATION THAT FAILS ON EVERY FUCKING LEVEL AND KILLED BOTH SERIES. *Jarv explodes with rage*
-
we are pretty much in total agreement. I haven't seen Predator 2 in YEARS, but I definitely agree on the first Predator.
-
I remember watching Predator about 50 times when i was 10 or so. Have you seen the Predator dvd? In the doc they have the original predator designs. Really shit, and would've killed the flick.
-
evolution of design is always interesting. Geiger is fascinating when he talks about deliberately putting a vagina on top of the eggs. Worst piece of design, ever= Predalien. Just an utter failure.
-
I know I know, I will remedy that soon enoughBut can anyone send me a link to an original Predator design? I'm curious

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was rumored that James Cameron(Terminator, Aliens) was called in as a consultant to look at the footage they'd shot of the creature, his reaction was that it looked like a guy on crutches hobbling through the woods.
-
What a crazy random happenstance, my VHS copy is one of the few films I bought with me to Uni... and I've never watched the whole thing.
-
what shall we talk about now?
-
I got a 65 on my first MA outline. And we should discuss Ghostbusters III.
-
I've got an Indy 4 vibe about this. It's got "meh" written all over it.

Possibly. It might be a complete bomb, but at the very least it'll be cool to see Ernie Hudson appear in a proper film again.

Isn't G3 going to be like a Next Gen...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
with Ackroyd etc handing over the reigns to Rogen et al? If so, count me out.
-
I know who'll they cast in the Hudson role in that case, and NO... the point is that Winston isn't a 'funny' character, he's the bemused guy taking this in in a very human fashion. Heck, he applies because he wants a job, any job. If you have him played by a comedian, there's no straight comedy.

Lucas finishes the job and batters the bloody corpse of our freshly raped childhoods to death.

Haven't read the books past 3...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Got half way through 4 when it dawned on me that there would be 3 more 800 page books and I really wasn't that interested.I haven't seen Dick Tracy for probably 18 years.Time distorts ones memory.
-
Book 4 is OK, 5 is crap, 6 is crap (but better than 5) and 7 is OK. That's a pretty accurate summary.
-
After the repressed emotions return, they abandon Gun-Kata and just sit around crying. Not great, to be honest.

Frodo and Sam finally overcome a mocking society and get down and dirty in hobbiton. They get arrested for indecent exposure just after Frodo uses Sam's furry foot to bring himself off. It could be called the Lord of The Ring Pirates.

I've weighed in once or twice but i've given up. It's like talking to a brick wall.RotK... I seriously started getting up to leave three times at the end of the film. Jackson just couldn't let it go. It's a shame because he really made a great series, and is now overshadowed by the botched ending. I would've finished it when frodo wakes up and they all come in or when Viggo is crowned king. Fade to black. No Shire, no ship. What works in a book does not always work on screen.

Call me crazy, but I'd like to see another Blade movie
by hawaiian organ donor
But do it right.I hope everyone is doing well this week. Spending time relaxing with the family and drinking copious amounts of winter ale.Watched Fred Claus last night and it was way better than I expected but I'm sucker for that schmaltzy crap.Oh, I'd also like to see another Robocop movie. But pretend like number 3 never happened. And keep the effects practical. Limit the CGI.
-
As soon as I think they are done another one pops up with the same fallacious arguments and faux-indignancy ("Bigoted, moi?"). Head- meet wall.
-
that splitting jaw. It made sense in 2, but was boring after that. Parker Posey. Ryan Reynolds Unhygenic Vampires Jessica Biel. Things I do want to see: Wesley AsskickingWhistler
-
'there's a little known law that says that you actually must batter anyone that advocates such stupidity around the head with a rubber chicken.'i actually had a corporal who belived exactly that. and he put it into practice. toward the end of the course we did a 100% kit check. the guy had nothing to say against payouts for having a plastic chicken in his kit (obviously the payouts came from above)
-
Pretend Blade 3 never happened and then talk to me.Haven't seen Fred Claus, and doubt I will. What's with Vaughn and Christmas movies?And you'll get you're wish for Robocop. I still can't believe Aronofsky is doing it. And you really need to disregard 2 and 3 because they were both terrible.Wow, it sounds like I hate everything!
-
i agree, the scene at the start of quantum was confusing (my take is one guard shoots another, bond takes him on and chases him, the bad guy gets away.) any sane person would have shot bond first though. it makes no sense to do otherwise.

The bad guy in the chair, who had been in the trunk (boot) of Bonds car, was the same bad guy from Casino Royale that Bond captured at the end of that film. As he was being interrogated, he told Bond and M that they had no idea who or what they were dealing with or how large it was. Then he noticed one of M's body guards and said something to the effect 'you're one also', then that guard shot him (to keep him from talking), thus confirming that the guard was also a member of the Quantum organization, and showing they were indeed, everywhere.
-
I've got my hands full with the fucking bigoted twats in that Milk TB.
-
Regarding QoS, I thought that 'M' got shot and spent nearly two hours wondering why she wasn't recieving medical aid.
-
I'll look out for them next time i'm in the middle east. Or bolivia.
-
Don't rush your travel plans.

Hope you had an uneventful Turkey Day

I in no way condone this behavior, but apparently it is taking of on youtube.

Because of the Mumbai attacks security jumped up, so it was full on, locked and loaded, helos staying warm up in case something jump off regionally sort of day.How was your day? You and the family have a good T Day?I couldn't get the sound to work on that youtube clip. Why did that dude slap her? Was she jawing with a Marine over the internet and he felt even more like the wuss he is? I guess he felt threatened by a real man who was far away. You know, the usual.
-
The first film was good stuff so I'll go with this. I'm in no way qualified to dissect Asian cinema and it's only recently that I've been trying to properly broaden my Western cinematic sensibilities. Thanks to HOD, and now to Twitch!In the first film, the way the beautiful main theme is utilised in the sequence with the kid playing the flute is excellent. Then the guy goes up and you think 'Hooo, boy, dat kid's in trouble now!' Instead, the guy takes the flute and whittles away at it, hands it back and the kid can play on - in tune! Great scene.
-
That figures about the alert status. I had a great turkey day with family - not so much football though. I also watched Ape movies all night - off work today. The Hey Marine thing is just some foolishness, the woman was not really saying anything, then the duded pops here. There are several videos of the same type. I have no idea what it really means.
-
What up cats?
-
I enjoyed all of them. It's close but I think my favourite would be Blade 2 - but Blade 1 has got one of the coolest opening sequences ever shot. Blade Trinity was fast and painless and Ryan Reynolds does deliver a few zingers. I didn't find the 'Dracula' character convincing, though - maybe with better casting?
-
It's a shame that Snipes and Reynolds are in two tonally different flicks, because solo flicks for either would've rocked.
-
It's cheese on toast.What's with the fancy name?
-
That's right. Watching Trinity, I did feel they were acting against each other. They both seemed to have a different idea on what direction they wanted the movie to go. Maybe Goyer wasn't strong or confident enough to stamp his authority on them, pull them onto the same track.
-
It didn't have the excellent atmosphere and energy of the first film, but it sure was a lot of fun. Fucking shame they couldn't do more with Donnie Yen though, damnit. The part where Blade emerges from the blood fountain and takes out all the stun baton guards was better than anything in 3. That song. "Listen all you muthafu-SMASH!" I liked it. 3 was just rank if you ask me. Ryan Reynolds is a good example of what doesn't work in a Blade movie. The frist half an hour of the first movie is EXACTLY how it should be done. Scared the hell out of me when I was younger and I first saw it. I used to have nightmares about that burnt up vampire sprinting at me.
-
... The Next Generation?That sounds horrible.Unless they announce John Cusack is in it. I can see him occupying a 'Venkman' kind of role.
-
Whuh? It's a referrence to Ernie 'fucking' Hudson.
-
It rocked. I dug all the flicks, and I think Blade III could have been the best... but they cast the villain poorly, underwrote the story, and had two leads who didn't click but worked on their own levels.
-
Welsh rarebit = fancy name for cheese on toast.Sorry for the misunderstanding.
-
Sorry, my mind's rattled. Been a really good day on some fronts, really bad on another.
-
... of Winston Zeddemore's place in the pantheon of cinema history. And well earned it is too. Or well Ernied!Heh.
-
If Ernie and Bruce were the leads in Congo, it would have made some serious bank.
-
I did! I just said Blade 2 is my favourite!I'm I talking in braille tonight...?
-
... that should have been.It's been a long day.
-
I think your posts come in a little later because of the distance. Aren't you in Australia or something?
-
you said "tonight" in your post. It's 1 PM here.
-
GMT, yo.
-
... at night in the deep dark UK. I was only messing around, though.Wish I was in Australia. It's hot there.
-
Thanksgiving right now. Its pretty damn trippy.
-
although I was let down by the Blade vs Frost swordfight, it could have been a lot better, and the 'Blood God' thing was a bit silly.
Blade Trinity's lousy villains really hurt it. And the story was mostly done so they could do a spinoff with the Reynolds/Biel's Nightstalkers team, but that never happened. Plus a shower scene of Biel with no nudity is just wrong. -
are you on something while you're watching it?
-
just combine both and do Ghostbusters Academy instead. Guttenberg, Ackroyd, Murray, and Leslie Easterbrook can be the instructors. Just leave Rogen out of it please.
-
I'm sold.
-
The trailer is far too short, I would like to see more of this one. Stop-motion rocks my casbah. I really miss stop-motion. Not knocking CGI - there's some terrific computer wizardry applied to films nowadays. But, I think of the skeletons in the original 'Argonauts' and it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. That also might be the vodka though.Heart Of Karl has got an 'Evil Dead' vibe going on, you can see the love for 1980's schlock in there.Need more 'Karl,' Twitch. See to it, please. Cheers.
-
"Bullet-time facehuggers." I dunno... ultra-slow maybe, but not really bullet-time. I thought it looked quite cool. Possibly I was just trying to wrench some kind of positive from the whole debacle. Anyway, slow-mo facehuggies not as cool as the punky French chick, Agathe DeLa Boulaye!Killed her off way too soon, Anderson...
-
I was drunk at the time, but I recall really hating it. Not sure why given the fact that I don't really love all the Alien flicks, but there you go.
-
Lost me when Brad Dourif's character says something like "We used cloned samples from Fiori 16..."I can believe they shortened Fiorina to Fiori. But I cannot accept they missed the fact that Alien 3's planet was not 16 - but 161.Basic fact checking. Jeunet, you are the weakest link. Piss off.
-
Being drunk usually helps. Does with me, anyway.Alien is my favourite film of all time (so far). I'm disappointed with the choices Fox has made with this franchise. I take it personally.
-
With viewing particularly bad movies, I should clarify.
-
I get angry at how little Ernie Hudson has to do in Ghostbusters. It's like he isn't there half the time.
-
It depends. Some films work with alcohol, others just piss me off.
-
The character seems shoehorned in there, almost an afterthought. But Ernie makes the best of what little he's given."I've seen shit that'll turn you WHITE!"Classic.
-
And it beats Eddie Murphy doing the same role. But take Ghostbusters II - he's not even in the fucking court room sequence.
-
re: Ghostbusters III, he said he could be bought if the price was enough. Awesome.
-
I can't remember a thing about Ghostbusters 2. I recall something going on with green slime and also a runaway pram... That's it! Oh, and a picture coming to life, I think.
-
Underrated flick, sir. Not amazing, but Vigo is an excellent villain.
-
Manhunter is on ITV1.
-
I know. But I can't watch films on ITV; the adverts do my head in! Got it on DVD anyway.
-
Grissom sure aged badly.
-
What an actor.
-
GOnna watch that tonight. Anyone remember that?
-
What is that a gay porno?
-
Manhunter was a bad ass movie. So much better then Red Dragon. Brian Cox is pretty stupid though for not doing the role again.
-
It's like Silence Of The Lambs, but by Michael Mann.
-
Worried about being type casted. And I guess that wasn't the problem, but Hannibel and Red Dragon sucked balls. So Silence could have ended up sucking as well.
-
HAH. Naw, I think he made the right call. Hopkins was good, but they made Lecter flashier. Cox did a great job making him subtly creepy.
-
Yah Mr. I got the special limited Edition Man Hunter DVD. Like SOOO limited there is a number on the back. I remember when limited edition DVD actually meant something.
-
I feel guilty watching it for free.
-
Yeh, I know that one. I thought it was pretty good. Never saw the sequels though. Were they any good?
-
Were both great. Nonan was so much better then Fines. You seen the movie Snow Angles? Its got Nonan in it, he has the only memorable part in the movie trying to get his marching band pumped to play Sledgehammer.
-
I don't think they were directed by the same people. lemme look.
-
That was bland as shit. I think it had one good scene between Norton and Hopkins, and that was it.
-
Never seen. Does look good.
-
didn't do the sequels. But he made a movie called Cypher I've wanted to see.
-
That wouldn't happen to be the Manhunter DVD with a red front and like a case notes booklet inside?
-
Yah that dvd. I think its still available everywhere probably.
-
You can buy it on Amazon for $150!!!!
-
No. 41,613 of 100,000!
-
This film is awesome, but they sure did have some crazy ideas of what passed for clothes and hair in the 80s.
-
You can buy it used for like $5, and its probably in good condition.
-
(rubs eyes and studies vodka bottle warily...)
-
19,183/100,000. Man its not in very good condition though. Looks like I couldn't sell it for $250 on amazon.
-
$274 for a mint condition of it. Did you ever notice a difference between directors cut and the original?
-
You beat me. By a clear 20-odd thousand!
-
Have paid $30 for it back in the day.
-
is 45,930/100000. Its higher then yours.
-
By my reckoning. The DC has got some extra scenes. Nothing plot altering, if I recall right.Oddly, the UK version of the TC has got a scene not in the US TC. Can't understand why it's missing from the US cut.So there's 3 versions!
-
why "By my reckoning" got in that last post. I did not type that. But the vodka might have.
-
sounds about right. I think I stumped up between £12-15 for mine.
-
'Do you see?' Creepy.
-
Later, guys. Take it easy.
-
This flick is creeping me the fuck out.
-
for a 100000 run? I pity the poor bastard whose job was to number those, changing the numbers on the rubber stamp for each and every dvd. The last dvd of that run is probably extra limited because it's also got blood and chunks of brains from when he blew his head off at the end of the pile.
-
Don't think it was done by a stamp.
-
of the poor schlub, somewhere in a corner of the dvd factory, being brought crate after crate of freshly manufactured dvd, and he's just finicking with the rubber stamp to change the number every time, having to take out the sleeve from every case, meticulously stamp it, and put the sleeve back in.... all the while mumbling to himself -kinda like Milton in Office Space- about how Jodie Foster shouldnt have touched the glass like the guards told her....
-
As much as the guy who had to individualize the limited edition DVD's of Son of Mask?
-
Why does Pineapple express not come out to the DVDs till January? After the crap boring fest that was Knocked up, Seth was back in my good graces with that film and has continues the trend of being funny with Zach and Miri.
-
anyone around at all?
-
you're probably gone, I'm checking while eating breakfast.
-
Wow.
-
Did not feel compelled to watch it. I haven't seen the first one (no surprise there) so maybe that's why I don't much care at the moment.The other thing is - it looks (to me) like a movie for television. D'yer know what I mean? No real scope. If that's deliberate, fair enough. But if it's going "head to head" with Red Cliff - the latter is an epic, screen-filling spectacle.At a glance, only one winner...
-
Does this scene appear in any US version?They're having the police briefing near the beginning. When it's over, 4 of the guys get together and discuss the motive. They get a call informing them that a thumb print has been pulled off a victim's eye. At this point, Will Graham walks off and Jack Crawford glowers at the other two local detectives, a real 'fuck you' glare.You're left thinking - why is he giving them the ocular daggers? It's totally over the top.But in the UK version there's an extra scene walking along a corridor before they go into the briefing where these two guys (or one of them) pour scorn on Graham's methods. They might even scoff at trying to get fingerprints off eyeballs - can't remember, I've only got the US R1 and I saw this scene in the UK television version a long time ago.Anyhoo; they scoff. Hence Crawford's reaction. It makes more sense. Why cut it from the US version?
-
Existential dilemnas require suits.

I can do that.
-
Why did I note that? I'm trying to come up with topics.
-
Is it a national ability to type in slurred speech like prose the way Chipps can? or is it just an inate ability for chipps to type drunk? It's quite amazing. I've neverd seen anybody capable of slurred typing.
-
Watched it off and on the last couple of days. It was okay, the Cruiser and Wooderson were by far the best. Iron man, the gay rapper, and the kid were good. I had a hard time with Stiller as action star but I enjoyed the savaging they gave to self important hollywood ass clows. Stiller is a pretty good director.
-
I think.
-
I'm stupidly competitive.
-
Sorry sir, been awol today. I liked Tropic Thunder, but if they'd managed to have Keanu in the Stiller role it would've been incredible. Stiller was good, but everyone else felt really authentic in their roles - someone like Reeves playing 'Simple Jack' deadpan would've been brilliant.
-
Just watched it. I'm not a huge fan of Matt Damon but I like the Bourne series and I think he's decent in the role. I note the camera work gets some stick on here but I think the jumpy photography works for a movie like this. It's all about paranoia and the camera mimics that, nervous, peering over shoulders. And always moving - like Bourne himself. I also like the camera tight in on fights, it's messy and brutal. I don't need to see every hit.Good. I like to see a 'hero' who's just as bad as the bad guys.Love that song as well - "Oh baby, oh baby, then it fell apart..." That'll be stuck in me head for hours now!
-
Saw it. *heavy sigh* It was ok. Nothing really memorable. Better than part 2. But nowhere near as good as part 1. Statham is not the problem. But the uninspired storyline is. As far as the 'gay' aspect of his character, he may very well, be. The storyline does him little favors, especially with what seems like every other scene has him ripping his shirt off. The female lead is indeed eurotrash, unappealing eurotrash. Unsympathetic eurotrash. If you are a completist, then see the movie - at the discount showing.
-

I thought Damon did a fantastic job as the series progressed. He really gre into the role.
-
I hate when they do that. Must be a sales slump.
-
the b&w silent version of The Ten Commandments! It's weird. Starts off in the land of the Pharaohs and all that, but then moves to a 1920's 'contemporary' setting.Just one viewpoint - the Bible Is Good - and don't you dare go astray! With the way it's presented - wagging its religious finger at me - I didn't really connect with the story. But it still amazes me to see a big crowd scene knowing they're all real and not CGI!The Moses prologue I enjoyed the most.
-
yeh, it was in the newspapers on Friday.There will be a big clamour against it, time will pass, then someone will bring the Bat back. Isn't this how it usually goes?
-
I haven't seen any of them. What does Statham play - is he an assassin or something?
-
it won't work here
-
it has only recently occurred to me that it is a metaphor for the second world war.
-
How so? And why specifically World War 2?
-
The character Stratham plays is a former SAS trooper that now deliveries packages, drives get away cars for bank jobs and body guard work. Anything that requires him to do cool driving stunts with a tricked out BMW or Audi. I don't know what car they're using for number 3.
-
As long as he can drive his fancy Black Audi A8, and you pay his price and abide by his 'rules' he will transport anything legal or otherwise. He is a kick ass, anal retentive (same black suit, white shirt, black tie - even keeps spare suit and shirt in his trunk, audi A8 black car only, my rules only) fast and fancy driving he-man (maybe - he might be gay. in fact director of his last flick said he was. )Watch the first movie wolf, it is bloody great!
-
jerries = germany
-
How obvious is that and I never noticed till now, chipps!Mind you, I was more of a Wiley Coyote/Roadrunner fan.
-
Maybe I'll wait for the inevitable DVD box set of all 3. He's all right, Statham.
-
Loved me some Wile E. Fuck that physics defying road runner! Fuck him!
-
sorry - got that wrong didn't I!Yeh, every episode I used to pray Wile E would ram that "Beep! Beep!" down Roadrunner's stupid beak!
-
Is, at the very least, Bi. Didn't he stick the Asian chick in the first movie? Aren't the directors of the second and third movie French? That explains the gay subtext right there.
-
POS Roadrunner. Now, don't get me wrong, I like smart-aleck invulnerable characters. The indomitable Brooklyn Hare being the greatest of them all. But RR just bugged me. I wanted him stomped.
-
I agree, I think he is Bi. Not that there is anything worng with that! Do not want any of the Milkmen to pitch a hissy.
-
People read way to much shit into everything. Didn't Frued once say sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Who cares? The movies are fun.
-
... for the Transporter movies. Just had a look at those. Who's the chick in the underwear with the big guns in the second one?Yes please...
-
I have never seen it. I will watch it either tonight after game, or tomorrow
-
I like the Bourne flicks, what I don't like is stealing that style for Bond. The reason Bourne is chopped up is because he goes purely on instinct and vague memories. He probably couldn't tell you what moves he used after he used them. Bond, in contrast, is ruthless and more of a cold and calculated guy. His fights should be shown in all their brutality to contrast with his smart attire.
-
defiantly the best and a movie i love. it was way more stripped back and imaginative. I was say that it has pretty much my favorite car chase scene (along with ronin and blues brothers) due to it's unusualness and creativity. (french connection too)
-
Is brilliant.
-
I liked it. If you've read the novella, the movie manages to retain that atmosphere. Darabont seems to know how to shoot a King book.
-
Yeh, the car chase is excellent."There's a bump coming up..." Vast understatement!
-
I am looking forward to it. I agree Zedd, Bourne is not Bond, nor should the lines be blurred. Inevitable I guess given the re-imagining of Bond to today's sensibilities, but regrettable.
-
The main problem I have is that CR was a great balance of new Bourne and old Bond. You had a stylicised version of the crazy camera. Then in QoS it was like they got to the editing room with all of this awesome footage and thought 'fuck it, shaky sells.'
-
I think the key difference is the philosophy of the two directors. Forster simply can not direct action, thus he was reduced to the quick cut editing in order to try and build tension. It failed. It also made QoS the shortest Bond movie in memory, and I have seen them all many, many, many times. We are in total agreement. Bourne is a lifeless, automaton. Bond should be a combination of charm and menace.
-
I think director Greengrass was aware that Bourne is a machine and that's why, in the second film, he introduced another side to the character in that Bourne doesn't take the shot when he can finish off Urban's character.I don't think it quite worked. I still view him as cold and merciless.
-
Nice tension, good acting and it stayed fairly close to the novella.

The more I see of Keanus remake, the more I want to see it
by toadkillerdog
It looks far better than the trailers that were released on the web
-
Can't stand that arrogant twit Weis. I also hope Oklahoma kills Ok State.
-
I agree i've never liked the golden domers plud if USC crushes them and somehow Auburne beats Bama then the Trojans might jump up to the two or three spot. The PAc 10 needs something good to happen to it. Outside of Oregon and the minirun ASU has been on, this season has sucked for the Pac 10.
-
36 zip.
-
I have not checked ESPN yet. Oh well, here's to hoping USC hangs 50+ on The Domers.
-
Just can not stand the head coach or the alumni. USC has no shot at BCS. I want Oklahoma vs Florida.
-
I never thought of it before, but now that you mention it, Keanu in Tropic Thunder makes sense because Stiller is essentially playing a character inspired by actors like Keanu. Would've been great to see him send himself up a bit. And would've definitely helped his popularity, as the Cruise role did.I was a little disappointed by TT. Cruise was great and Jack Blacks 'tied to the tree' monologue was gold. Downey Jr was good, but i'd seen so much of him as Lazarus it wasn't a surprise.It would've been great to go into that flick cold, knowing nothing about it.
-
The Directors Cut is naff. They add twenty minutes of really bad stuff onto the flick that isn't funny. It's also a shame Cruise keeps reappearing - he's hilarious at first, but it becomes too repetitive.
-
Haven't seen the DC. Isn't it about 20 minutes longer? If so, it's way too long since I thought the theatrical cut dragged a bit. I'll agree too much Cruise, but he was good so I can live with it.Ultimately, what I thought was going to be the best Hollywood send up since The Player was good, but no where near great. I probably built it up a wee bit too much, as Stiller is no Altman.
-
It's 20 minutes longer?Not "Isn't it..."
-
A mate told me (after I saw the DC) that the original felt too long... so that was annoying. But Matthew M was on fire comedy wise. That ridiculous Tivo subplot was pretty damn funny.
-
Nov 29, 2008 7:52:44 PM CST
That was the Owen Wilson role...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
wasn't it? Yeah, lots of great stuff going on in that flick. The best thing about it for me was to actually enjoy performances of actors I'm pretty sick to death of, like Cruise, Tobey Maguire and Mac. And Jay Baruchel got a good role as well. But for some reason it just didn't add up to great.
-
I totally agree about Tropic. I did not think it was hysterical, except for Black being tied to the tree. That killed me. Cruise was good too, but honestly the movie was not all that and a bag of chips or chipps!
-
I see you got The Mist dvd. I saw that a while back. Pretty good with a kick in the guts ending thats been the subject of a raging debate or two. Did you get the dvd with the B&W version? I haven't seen that version, but apparently its the way to go.
-
Not sure if it has B&W version. I know nothing about the novella or movie, but have heard the ending is controversial, so I am looking forward to seeing it. Might watch it tonight because football games are not competitive.
-
Anyone seen it?
-
It's a tradition for my dad and I to see all the James Bond movies together, since way back when Goldeneye came out (yep Pierce Brosnan was the one to pop my Bond cherry). I remember really liking it right after seeing it, but upon reflection over the day, it's just slightly above average. The new James Bond definitely works for today's moviegoers. He's perfect. I remember being confused why my uncle was so convinced Roger Moore was the best Bond, but I think I understand now after watching Craig. Moore was my uncle's Bond, the one he followed throughout the peak of his days of Bond enjoyment (not that it ever really decreases, he was just there at the time that a boy becomes a man and really can appreciate Bond). And now I'm sure now, while Craig may not be THE definitive Bond (bitch please, Connery, no question), he is MY Bond. He's an efficient killer, a stylish man for today's generation, and a real badass, not to mention the Bond girls in the last two movies have been incredibly smokin.So Quatum of Solace had my FAVORITE Bond, a so-so story (stolen water? a litle boring), and some INCREDIBLE action. Normally shaky cam bothers me, and it did for the first half an hour or so, but it works on a visceral level. I found myself literally on the edge of my seat after nearly every fight scene.Hopefully in the next movie Bond can have a one on one match like the great Bond brawls of yore (Bond vs. Oddjob etc). Donnie Yen vs. Daniel Craig would be pretty sweet on the big screen. Or Sammo would make a great evil mastermind/asskicker of spies. I'm just sayin...Anybody else's thoughts on a good idea for a one on one Bond matchup?
-
wth both the director's cut and the theatrical version with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack. Anybody remember that movie? I remember sort of adopting it as the only answer to a Tolkien movie as a little kid. I used to think it was part of the same universe. That bad guy played by Tim Curry was so badass with the big horns and that huge chin. I think I have a bias for Ridley Scott 80s movies. In that era, the man can do no wrong.
-
sounds interesting though. I will definitely check it out if it shows up at the local arthouse.
-
I don't root for USC I'm a supporter of the PAC 10 or any games that have the potential of screwing up the dumbass BCS computer rankings. Usually I root against anything LA based and I agree about thier cock headed fans, but I have to give the devil its due, Pete Carrol has done one hell of a job with USC. It's to bad the east coast usully misses out on USC games, USC is really really good. I would like to see a USC vs Oklahoma or Florida game. That would be quite interesting I believe.
-
USC looks good against lesser competition, but who have they really played this year? The Pac 10 has been weak -holy shit! The Oklahoma Ok state game is kickin ass! State just ran one back for TD! Anyway, USC has really only beaten one 'quality' team, and that was Ohio State, which aint exactly a ringing endorsement. USC is good, but i am not willing to elevate them to national title contention. Florida looks dominate. Texas looks good. My guess, considering the way OK State is playing OK, is that Fla. plays Texas for the title, assuming both win their last games.
-
Great tradition you have with Bond movies. I have one as well. My mom took me to see Diamonds are forever - my dad was deployed in Viet Nam at the time. I had never heard of Bond, and the title of the movie really sucked to my five or six year old mind, and i put my foot down and said no! Of course she drgagged me out to see it anyway. Needless to say, i was hooked, and of course mom never lets me forget that. Connery is the definitive Bond. The greatest Bond. Craig is my second favorite, followed by Lazenby (former second favorite) Brosnan, Dalton, Moore. I do not hate Moore. He was who he is - a light comedian - thrust into an action role. Moore was great as The Saint, and he was great in the Persuaders. His early Bond efforts were good, but his natural goofiness just overwhelmed the portrayal, and made it a caricature. That being said, I truly understand why some people like him over other Bonds. As for Qos. I found all of the action lacking. The airplane stunt was terrible. It was also a direct rip-off of Capricorn One. Casino was far superior to this movie. As for a face-off, hey Stratham would be a damn good choice.
-
Might be enough to eclipse Texas. Oklahoma vs Florida, or Texas vs Florida. Either way, it should be great.
-
Is on the DVDs. Didn't end up watching it. Gonna watch it tomorrow, ended up watching 48 Hour Mystery. Those shows need a better editor. And fuck OU, though OSU did make some stupid mistakes. But come on.
-
Yeah I've seen ever Bond movie in theaters. I think I saw the Dalton ones in theaters. But starting with Goldeneye, I've always seen it opening day (be it a couple weeks later when living over seas). But my buddy and I saw Casino at the midnight showing Thursday night on a whim. I didn't really think about it, but Thursday he called me and wanted to do it again and he drove the 2 hours down here and we saw the midnight showing for QoS. We both agreed that Casino was better.
-
That show Dead Set, you seen it? Is it any good?
-
And his stupid Christmas special. We may be from the same state, but I will swear it to the highest form of Allah that his IMDB page said that he was from Canada and then from D.C. So it doesn't sound like he was being a Carolinian till it was important for him. Oh yeah, he is not funny either.
-
Is my favorite bond. With Goldeneye being my fav movie. I always thought he was an awesome bond. He just got stuck with really really like bottom of the barrel worst bond villains in Tomorrow Never Dies and World is Not Enough. Die Another Day was a too hyped up version of Goldeneye, and it was fun but too zany. I think had Martin Campbell just stuck to the only thing he's good for (unless he wanted to reboot No Escape) Pierce would've been seen as a much better bond. As far as bad guys for the next Bond, the screaming banche from QoS was pretty weak, so they need to go with someone matching Dainel's physical ability. I am liking what Toad said with Stratham, that would be pretty cool to see him play a bad guy for once (save for Cellular which really didn't count but was a good role and a good movie). But I'd like to see Bob Hoskins as the mastermind with Turkish or The Juggernaut as his big henchmen. OR OR! The guy from B-13 and Die Hard 4.0: Live Free or Die Hard. Or David O'Hara or Rhona Mitra as the bad guy for the next bond. And let Neil Marshall direct. David O' Hara has a bad ass villain voice.

Stephen Rea. Shane Meadows to direct.

really loved golden eye. the rest of the brosnan lot were so so. brosnan was a good bond. i have this theory. i tried to say it over at harry's review but it was a bit incoherent. I feel that in the 90s we were in a weird cultural place. we as a culture are at our best when we have a goal, usually defeating an enemy. there is this instute that has been measuring the happyness of the brits for the last 70 years. In that time they scored the highest during the battle of britain. the theory goes that at that time they had purpose. to me the 90s began with either the fall of the berlin war and the end of the warsaw pact. It was a decade of cynasim and one lacking in purpose. cultural keystones include: nirvana, seinfield, the x files and fight club. 'we don't have a great war, our great depression is our lives' it wasn't the soviets, or the germans we feared but our own government. the brosnan bond, constantly winking to the camera fits right in. it was a cynical light hearted bond, often comical. then september 11 happened. in a moment we kinda said 'hang on, we're in a fight here and we gotta win, we can self evaluate later' the current bond is not introspective. he is pragmatic. he will do whatever he has to to win. play dirty? no worries, only victory matters. these are our enemies and we must beat them. brosnan was a bond of the times, he fit into a zietgeist led by the sinefield and the x files. craig is a bond of these times, in which we are fighting several wars, and have given our governments extra powers to fight our enemies,besides, mal meninga owes me a beer.
-
I'd actually like to see them spend a few films either building up Felix as a potential antagonist, or (better yet) Statham. Do a Goldeneye style film where Bond is betrayed by a friend. It'd have similarities to Casino Royale, but can you imagine Bond putting his trust into someone he's known for years and then getting betrayed, big-time?
-
Fu, in the 80s I dug that flick, though it always felt really wierd to me. It truly immerses you in an 80s fantasy world to the point where you feel a bit odd about all the muppets, aqua-net teased hair, and neon-glow, glitter speckled cheeks and synthesizer queues. In the theatrical cut, Darkness is wearing freakin' glow in the dark talons! At the same time, you can really see the majesty and ambition of the production. Scott was really doing some un-rivaled stuff in the area of world building back in the 80s. You can see him homaging alot of sources in the film. I don't think he set out to make one more 80s fantasy, but his sight was set much higher.
The theatrical cut is strictly in that 80s swashbuckler vein. Like a double feature with Labyrinth.
The director's cut however is quite a bit better, because it returns the Goldsmith score, re-edits the film and adds some things, removes others(the terrible glow in the dark talons) and in my mind, lifts it above most of the other films of the same ilk.
When Jackson was making LOTR, back when Harry did those questions for him, he remarked that if you wanted to get an idea of what they were doing, something akin to Legend, but not with all the cheesy elements, only in the sense that they were trying to create an immersive and plausible world that existed outside of modern references and what not.
So, yea, Im a Legend fan, but watch the director's cut, and forget about the theatrical one unless you are having a retro party at your house. -
Fred not hold breath though. Statham wants to be hero, but he should take page from Arnolds Terminator book - the first one. Arnold became bigger star after villain role. Of course he quickly went back to hero. It would be great as long as they did not wimp out at the end and make Statham a villain with heart of gold, like what happened to Jaws. Make him a true villain who beats Bond - early in the movie, then let Bnd beat him at the end.
-
If it was'nt for the fact that he was already in MI3 I would say that Philip Seymour Hoffman would be perfect. I thought pretty much only his scenes worked in MI3. So fucking cocky and arrogant and slimy. Loved it. Too bad that will never happen. He could be the intellectual villain. Then as his second in command have Jason Statham, who like Series suggested should be a former MI6 agent who has gone rogue. Make the centerpiece of the film be a badass fucking gritty fight to the death between Statham and Craig. I would pay double the price and swallow my own cum to see some shit like that. It would make the fight between Shaw and Connery look like that fight between Capt. Kirk and The Gorn commander in The Arena. Plus it should end in a really graphic way like with Craig strangling Statham until he stops kicking or something. Then the movie could go on with Craig getting closer and closer to Quantum.
-
Fred thought the entire movie was bad, and that PSH brought nothing special or sinister or even remotely menacing to the role other than his name. Fred was greatly disappointed.
-
Stewart and Statham would be perfect. Particularly Statham, he can do humour and he do convincing action - like Vinnie Jones, even in his worst films you'd buy them as a significant threat.
-

odo19 - the fights you mentioned were great
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
But they were more along the lines of an underdog beating a superior foe. The Gorn could tear Kirk apart. Shaw could tear Bond apart. But both Kirk and Bond founda way to win. Craig vs Statham would be an even match. Statham has the martial arts edge, but Bond would have the sheer unstoppable brutality - do whatever it takes to win, edge. It could be an awesome match-up.
-
Craig strangling Statham to death would be horrifying to watch on a big-screen.
-
Must beat Patriots otherwise Xiphos will repo Freds space bug!
-
For a classic cheesy super villain bond. Like Jaws or something. Pretty much just reprising his Juggernaut role. Too bad these bonds are all against gadgets, I would love to see Q back. Even if its John Cleese, or since its a 'REBOOT', you all know that Ricky Gervais would be a great 'REBOOTED' Q. Maybe add some more humor into the next bond, like new gadets that don't fully work, and something like Bond saying I hate gadets.
-
The DVD I got has both versions, and I have already seen both. I definitely agree about the Director's Cut. It is far superior. The other version is fun, especially with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack, but it's far more stupid.My girlfriend and I are watching the director's cut right now. She hasn't seen the movie since she was a kid so I'm hoping it will be a much better experience for her.By the way, how cool of a character is Gump? It's the same kid from Tin Drum. Probably one of the best child actors of all time.Ridley Scott's Director's Cuts are always the definitive versions of his films for me. Alien, Legend, and Blade Runner are all great films for me, but especially in the versions cut specifically by Scott.
-
Though I do agree, that game is bullshit. But my grandfather and Dad both went to Oregon State, and we were all watching the game together, so it was pretty intense. I personally am not a big football fan, but those refs were awful. Like paid off to make bad calls awful. Granted, Oregon State was fucking up a lot, but that game wouldn't have been so bad if not for some of those really bad calls in the first half. Ah well, no rose bowl for Oregon State I guess, tee hee hee.
-
Statham was definitely one of the first guys I thought up last night. But then I got to considering the dude's incredible charisma and talent. It would be hard to cheer for bond when the other guy was just as cool. And I think one of the points of all the Bond villains is to give the audience a mean nemesis so it's easy to really root for Bond. Statham would get half the people wanting Bond to lose, which in my eyes is blasphemy.The Vinnie Jones idea is pretty good, but I am getting a little sick of that guy's tremendous typecasting, especially after also seeing Midnight Meat Train and Survive Style 5+.
-
Danny Trejo.
-
Craig has to fight a really huge guy at some point. Get someone like Nathan Jones, who threw Tony Jaa around in Tom Yum Goong. Or if you really want to recast the metal-toothed freak that was Jaws, get Dalip Singh, who beats Richard Kiel in the freak department.
-
The Great Khali from the WWE. That guy's just ridiculous.
-
I should've mentioned that...
-
Yeah, I got confused - thought Dalip was another guy.
-
A Bond villain. Just for the voice more than anything. He is a threatening presence.
-
I meant the Oklahoma game. Nathan Jones would be a good choice, if he is not too busy playing Thor. Anyone seen his Popeye inspired movie? Som Tam? Also has anyone ever seen the movie Asterix & Obelix movies? Are they any good? Another european movie I want to see are the Taxi movies.
-
Why does Gérard Depardieu have the worst picture of him on IMDB from 102 Dalmatians? I think IMDB does that a lot.
-
I was wondering why you said OU. Well I feel dumb now
-
Unstoppable! Even Burress shooting his own dick off can't stop them! Xi, leave poor Fred alone. Don't take his space bug just to cover your gambling loses.
-
it's a cool movie, very entertaining. The story kinda lame, but the fights are great. Nathan Jones is good in his goofy part, but action-wise he totally gets upstaged by teen girl Sasisa Jindamanee, who kicks plenty of ass all over the movie. She was also in Born To Fight, that I've yet to see. With the fighting skills she has now, if she keeps improving she could be a huge action star someday.
-
would be terrible choice for Thor. So he's big and buff. Lots of guys are. It would take a hell of a lot more for the role to really actually work.

Now if Alabama and Texas both lose the computers will melt. That's my hope.

I love that show, if only for its animation and zany details in every single frame of the show.
-
I have though heard of Super Max prison.
-
found some random clips on youtube, that is one fucked up toon, I need to find actual episodes of this!
-
crap. shit. love the cartoon, movie was shit house. it was overstylised and not hard core enough. I wanna see a movie about dudes who do nothing more than fight drink and root. possibly the french do not have it in them to make such a movie.
-
It played on adult swim tonight. Also, you can just go on adultswim.com. They have a new full episode every week to watch, along with a bunch of clips. That show is so damn trippy, and in such a deliciously good way. A pretty good example of extreme style over substance. Even the openings and endings of each episode are enjoyable.Seriously, watch the opening of more than one episode. While the jailbot is always flying through the air carrying that guy, the areas they fly through are never the same. There is just so much detail. In every frame. So cool.
-
that was the Green Arrow movie script right? I still love that idea.
-
Ok, reasonably entertaining. The premise is excellent, but it may as well be 28 months later. Zombie Davina is hilarious.

and forgot to say- it's only 2 1/2 hours long. It actually feels like a movie cut into chunks.

crap this weekend. England blow. And fecking wales beat Australia. Fuck.

-
Good to see you're still keeping things moving on these quiet, quiet mornings. You're a trooper, buddy.I agree about Dead Set, by the way. Not bad, not great, very much inspired by the 28 Whatsit Later films. The beginning was good and the ending wasn't bad, but it sagged badly in middle, I thought. And, yes, Zombvina was funny.Is The Dark Knight out on DVD today? I'm thinking I'll watch it again to see whether I was totally wrong about it (as I often am).

They are out there, believe it or not.Aren't you up London? There must be millions of decent jobs in the big smoke for a guy such as yourself.
-
is that I'm a real office Jack of all trades- therefore, my CV is a mess of different jobs and different skills etc. I'm currently trying to maximise training in the current job so that I can jump into a better paid government Quango one (Govt ones also = less work). Mrs. Jarv's idea- and it's a good one.
-
Rosie O'Donnel. I would expect that one had been "chang-ed" if I didn't know better.
-
Too much slacking in too many offices over the years has meant that my main transferrable skills are:A) The ability to take shit off people on the phone.B) The ability to unjam a lasr printer.C) The ablity to quietly ignore the percentage of office staff who will always insist on parroting phrases from Little Britain all day.Oh, well. I hope the Quango thing works out for you. If nothing else, Quango is a great, great word.
-
I'm pretty fucking excited, even if Empire slated it. I've got my fingers crossed Olivier Megaton is not going to let me down.I haven't been to see a film at the cinema for a while now, on account of being all poor and whatnot.
-
I live in a country where Rosie O'Donnell's ugly mug is not all over the tv.
-
when i read the directors name was Megaton. That names almost as ridiculous as that Kaos guy.
-
I thought it had to be...
-
Equally punchable, but not gay, I don't think.Also, don't you dare impugne the name of Olivier Megaton. That is the greatest name for an action film director I have ever heard. Fingers crossed, Transporter 4 will be directed by Juan Carlos Makestuff-Goboom.

Wow. Not that I'm surprised. Transferrable skills= type at 60 words a minute. M/S office. Patience on phone. Not slaughtering work colleauges, no matter how much they may deserve it.

of a government job. Best leave it off the CV.
-
I didn't like it much. It's one of those films that makes you want to hate CGI, even though it's not CGI's fault so many directors pour it over their films like my sister pours ketchup over her chips.It was also a little too Wachowskian for my tastes - pseudo-messianic overtones and whatnot, and scenes where people stand around talking about ideas the brothers couldn't be bothered to dramatise.Kids might like it, though. It's very colourful, and there is also a chimp.

Speed Racer was a piece of shit...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I equated it to a lollypop on some random TB a while back. To summarize; it looks great and for the first 10 minutes it is, then you get sick and fucking hate it.That summary was probably better than my previous long-winded analogy.I watched The Good Shepherd on the weekend. Very long and very slow, but was interesting enough and also had a wish list of actors in there.
-
very true. I am good at sleeping in the office though, so that will make up.
-
apparantly she has "no interest in being clubbed to death by a sack of neon lights"
-
She is a very smart woman.Mrs Droid wants to see Twilight. She's reading the books.I'm not happy.
-
Mrs Droid had no interest in Speed Racer, so she's a mixed bag.
-
Unlucky
-
That's a pretty accurate description of Speed Racer, except Speed Racer is not that exciting. I saw it on Sunday afternoon and it was a struggle to stay awake.I also liked The Good Shepherd. Not a great film, but it was an intriguing story, and the cast was good.I also saw The Mist at the weekend, which I really liked, even though I can't stand horrors normally. The Mist was good, though, and it has one of the most grim endings I've ever seen.
-
Loved it! Not only were the visuals stunning, but the storyline stayed true to the source and I thought the W's did a fantastic job.
-
that it may be good.
-
at all.
-
I've never seen the cartoon. Maybe if you're fan of the cartoon, the film is better. I don't know. I just thought it was boring and silly, and the races looked so incredibly phoney that I didn't give a toss about who won or lost.My favourite part was that there was a kid with chimp faces on his pyjamas and a chimp with kid faces on his pyjamas. That was it, though.
-
Hmmm. It was good. But, damn the Mrs Carmody/breakdown of civilzed behavior, annoyed the holy fuck out of me. The Carmody screeds were simply awful. Too long, too unbelieveable. Bad writing and acting in that part. Oh, I am not saying that there are not religious nuts out there who can read 'end of days' into just about anything, but after less than two days, I seriously doubt that such a nutcase can incite 'normals' into murder. That really ticked me off. There are weak minded and gullible people, out there, but because of the compressed timeframe of a movie, unless the writing and acting are both sterling, the transition from normal behavior to abherrent, comes too quickly. I simply did not beleive it, and it killed that part of the movie for me. I loved the beasties though. Thomas Jane was great. I loved his little group as well. The ending, was unexpected, but perhaps because the middle part of the movie was so disappointing, it did not pack any punch at all for me. Overall, I liked the movie. Started out great, had horrible middle part, good ending.
-
Dec 01, 2008 8:23:50 AM CST
I can see what the Wacha's were going for...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
with Speed Racer. Visually it's initially interesting to look at, but it's an assault on the senses and you sit there hoping it would hurry up and end. It's long and it feels longer. It's a sickly confection with one dimensional characters and the barest bones of a plot.I did see it at the cinema, so it might play differently on home vid.
-
I was a hugh,hugh,hugh fan of the cartoon show when I was a kid. I never thought it could be translated accurately to the big screen. Now, not all material can or should have a literal translation from source material to big screen, but dang if the W's did not knock it out of the park. i had some quibbles - only that the Mach 5 should have been the only car used, and the change in racer x, but really, I loved the flick. I fully stipulate that it may have to do with my love of the cartoon and how well it was translated, but I also think it was a stunning visual achievement that will take some time to be appreciated - not unlike Tron was decades ago. I loved Tron back then. Love Speed Racer now.
-
I agree they could have used a little more subtlety with the Mrs Carmody character, but I'm not going to complain too much. It's rare I see a horror film I like, much less one that at least is trying to tell a story with some substance to it.Also, it's a film about beasties from another dimension, so (it seems to me) that if I can accept that as a premise, an exagerated religious loon is not so hard to swallow.And, yes, Thomas Jane was great. I'm thinking about adding him to my man-crush list (alongside Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans).
-
Didn't really see much of the show growing up so I'll take your word on it from that perspective.It's great that they've made a film for the huge fans, but what about the rest of us?What I'd like from the Wacha's next flick is something more akin to their Bound. No special effects, just a well told story with interesting characters.
-
Bound is good, The Matrix is great, and then there's the three ambitious but very flawed and messy films they've done since.I'd also love to see them try to just tell a good story again. It's nice that they're so ambitious, but what's the point if all your ambition does is get you into one clusterfuck after another? This also applies to Richard Kelly.
-
It was not just Mrs. Carmody, but the way she swayed people who only a very few hours earlier thought she was a total whack job, into believing her, and commiting murder. There is a known 'groupthink' mentality that can set in when herd animals such as humans are stressed. But the extremes reached, generally take longer than one day. Like I said, I loved the beasties. But I damn near turned the movie off when she was demanding the boy and her 'followers' moved in to take him. That was too far gone for me.
-
I firmly believe he had no idea what the fuck he was doing on Southland Tales. I had to force myself to sit through that film. It made less sense than Mulholland Drive.

by franklin t marmoset
It happens to me all the time, and it takes much less than one day. A few inspirational words, maybe a pamphlet of some sort, and I'm sacrificing people's kids all over the shop. The streets of Bristol run red with blood, I can tell you. Kiddy blood!But that's just me.
-
I believe Richard Kelly, somewhere deep inside his brain, understands perfectly well what he is trying to do. It's just that he doesn't have the talent to translate his ideas into interesting or engaging films (unless it's by accident, like he did with Donnie Darko).Also, Mulholland Drive makes perfect sense. That's the kind of film Kelly wishes he could make. But he can't.
-
Dec 01, 2008 9:49:18 AM CST
Mulholland Drive made perfect sense?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I'm the guy who will defend Lost Highway and Twin Peaks to the last, but Mulholland Drive made absolutely no sense at all.What did I miss?I watched the interview with Lynch which was on the dvd hoping to gain some insight into it. It pretty much went like this...Interviewer: What is your film about?Lynch: It's about ideas. You know... ideas."I wasn't happy to find out that the guy who made it didn't know what his own film was about.
-
is my third favorite movie of the year after Syneccoche, New York, and The Fall. The story about family is actually really sweet to me, the cast is GREAT, the action is fun and can be riveting if you pay attention, and the special effects and visuals work perfectly with the aesthetic of the original show. The only complaint I had coming out of it the first time was the subplot with fucking Rain's character and his sister. That felt like just a dumb reason to get Rain in the movie for some extra seats, which obviously didn't work that well anyway. Still, one of the funnest movies of the year in my opinion.
-
were going to be really annoying, but they didn't really bother me at all. They even made me laugh a couple of times.
-
It's about a woman whose life has turned to shit living in a fantasy world (whether you consider it a dream or a delusion is up to you to decide) that crumbles around her as the film progresses. Then, at the end (SPOILER), she is stripped of all her fantasies, she finally realises how fucking miserable her life is and she shoots herself.It's possibly the most depressing film I've ever seen. Me and a friend decided a double bill of Mulholland Drive and Requiem For A Dream would be enough to push most people into suicide.
-
I don't think it's that he can't explain the film so much as he doesn't like to. In every interview I've seen with him, he struggles to articulate what his films are about.
-
Dec 01, 2008 10:07:19 AM CST
Maybe I will give it another go some time...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
but if it still makes no sense I will hold you personally responsible!As for Requiem. If I ever have kids, I'll show them that film when they are about 13 or so, and completely scare the fuck out of them.
-
Just keep in mind that the first half of the film is mostly Naomi Watts's idealised version of how she wishes her life was. Also, the tiny blue safe represents the ugly truths she has locked away somewhere inside her psyche.Also, it's a good idea to make it a double bill with some kind of life-affirming comedy you can watch after. Do not attempt the Mulholland/Requiem pathway to death! That is a dangerous business, I reckon.I accept full responsibility for any disappointment you may experience, but I do not offer refunds. Store credit only.

It has too much hot lesbian sex to be that depressing.

I picked up The Incredible Hulk for $9, I am Legend for $4..Mrs. Pillow picked up *shudder* The Devil Wears Prada and The Golden Compass. Oh yeah, and Ice Age 2. So only one film that I truly despise. Also, Hawaiian if you pop in, I watched your name sake last night. McLovin showing everyone how to roll...

Sure, the batshit lady who converts 90% of the people in the story in five minutes is a little over-the-top, but hey, we got crazy creatures from another dimension. I took her more as the little push the smaller group needed to get them out in the open and then bring our nifty dismal ending for that small group.

No more waiting for Netflix. You know what's funny about my handle? I thought Superbad was sort of meh. The name was just the first thing that popped into my mind when I created my account.The Jets really sucked yesterday. The Panthers on the other hand pulled one out of the fire. If Steve Smith isn't the best WR going right now I don't know who is.I loved Speed Racer. I could watch it once a month.Speaking of Bond, I'm revisiting the series and even though the cheese factor is high, they hold up well. I started with the Roger Moore era as he was my Bond growing up. I had forgotten how much fun The Spy Who Loved Me and A View To A Kill were what with elevators that opened up into shark tanks (giggity, giggity) and staircases that slide your ass out of a blimp.

Crazy batshit lady converting people in The Mist
by hawaiian organ donor
Isn't as far-fetched as one might think. When a group of shoppers is willing to crush a man to death for the prospect of a cheap DVD player, then I think as a species we succumb to madness easily.
-
Amen.
-
Trampling some poor schmuck Wal-Mart worker to death to save $200 on your $1600 TV? Fucking animals make me sick. I blame Bush for this.
-
What's the happy happ?
-
I thought about that before I wrote my review, I even included that humans are herd animals susceptible to mindless groupthink. But, there are keys differences between the mist and black friday. The black Fridays sales always brings out the worst in people, that has nothing to do with group think, and more to do with 'I have to be first'. Multiply that by hundreds maybe thousands of people, and you get the all too common situation of people being trampled. But, they did not set out to kill that man. They did not organize to kill that man. It was not premeditated - even though it was preventable, and the people who did it should face charges. The Mist on other hand, had a known whack job, who only a few short hours before was ridiculed, but suddenly almost everyone believes her about an end of days, even though they live near an army base that is said to be doing top secret research? They follow her to the point of murdering one young man, and then being ready to sacrifice a young child? No, it was ridiculous. As much as I loved the beasties in that movie, Carmody's character and the actions of the people were patently absurd.
-
...it was pretty fucking awesome. If you liked the first, you'll like the third.
-
Yes, but it seems you are always giving the human race too much credit. What was the film Hobo and I were arguing with you about? Damn. I forget. But the main character snapped suddenly and went berserk, and you were saying it was far fetched and Hobo and I were saying shit like that happens all the time. Look at the random mild-mannered father that comes home one day and blasts his three kids. Its not that I don't want to agree with you. I wish I could.
-
Dunk us all in the shark tank. Just give me an hour with Jennifer Love Hewitt first.I doubt very much they'll be able to pick anybody out on the security tape from Wal-Mart but what disgusts me more than anything is there are animals out there right now who know they killed a guy and will take it to their grave. Wal-Mart should have had the cops there instantly and sealed off the store so nobody leaves and then prosecute those scumfucks. I'd slit their throats with a chainsaw.
-
Do you concur with us that Statham would make a good Bond villain?
-
to watch Hulk smash as Mrs. Pillow declared it a "gift" to be wrapped. Mrs. Pillow drinks too much hot cocoa me thinks.Yup, the Jets were sucky of the highest magnitude. And the Panthers do really blow. If the Giants don't get to the superbowl, something is definitely wrong.I think the only thing you could have a problem with toad is the elapsed time it takes to convert the sheep. But people searching desperately for answers will tend to latch on to craziness as sort of a natural defense if you will.

Hhhhmmmm. Honestly I don't think it will work now that he is The Transporter. Maybe had he not done that role. I was thinking the other day Liam Neeson would make a sick ass villain.

yeah, that's what they're saying, they won't be able
by just pillow talk
to pick out the "people" who trampled over the worker.I just can't fucking believe first, that it happened, second, that they KEPT ON FUCKING SHOPPING, and third, will get away with it.
-
I call dibs on Monica Bellucci, Kate Beckinsdale, and Salma Hayek.No takebacks.
-
I don't know the details of this situation, but you guys act like someone intentionally jumped on another person's head. Have you ever been at a concert or some shit when a serious horde of people start rushing forward and people start falling over and flying everywhere? I have. Its fucking scary. I hit the floor and got kicked several times and stood up with a scraped ear. Its fucking chaos. Nobody knows what the hell is going on, everyone is just pushing forward and losing their balance. Is there something I haven't heard about this story that paints a different picture?
-
Do you concur with us that Statham would make a good Bond villain?
-
I didn't know it'd gone through. Stupid TB.
-
"Hhhhmmmm. Honestly I don't think it will work now that he is The Transporter. Maybe had he not done that role. I was thinking the other day Liam Neeson would make a sick ass villain. "
-
Suck.
-
...I do think Statham and Craig going head to head would be fucking awesome. Maybe bring back the Goldeneye shit and make Statham a double-double-O-agent.
-
Someone else suggested Patrick Stewart as the Head of Quantum. For some reason, I'd like to see Stewart coldly kill 'M.'
-
That front line of people that BROKE DOWN THE DOOR AND KNOCKED THE GUY TO THE GROUND knew damn well that they were walking over a human being. I've never walked on a person before but I think I would realize that there was something different with the surface under my feet. And I'll tell you what, rather than shopping, I would have gone to sporting goods, grabbed a Louisville Slugger and beat to a pulp anyone that plowed over Wal-Mart staff who were trying to rescue the fallen worker.And intentional or not, what I find sickening is that not one person has come forward. Surely there were some people who realized they were trampling other people but continued on their merry way once they were in the store.
-
I agree.....the people who actually broke the door open should be prosecuted for breaking in. But you have no idea what the wave of momentum was like behind them. There were 2,000 fucking people pushing them forward. Even if they wanted to stop, they wouldn't have been able to with that much force shoving them forward. The people in the front can not be held anymore liable than the 2,000 pushing them forward. -
I remember the argument, it was about Anakin killing babies. I think my point then was that, no one just 'snaps' without prior motivation regardless of how prevalent that term is. By that I mean, yes people do 'snap', but it is generally built up over time, and then it just releases 'all of the sudden'. The pressures are building, and maybe the final straw is something relatively inconsequential, but it is too much for the person to bear. My point was that unless someone is predisposed to killing children, babies really, and has actually thought about it beforehand, then no amount of 'snapping' is going to push them to that extreme. Anakin snapped, but taking it to the point of killing babies? I wanted more motivation out of his character that could account for such a radical shift. Lucas never provided that. That is why I did not believ Anakin killing babies in that instance. You have to show the kind of thought processes and pressures that could lead to such an extreme circumstance - and not just say, 'well he snapped'. I have been in pressure filled situations - very pressure filled. Now, most of that was military related, and discipline kicks in to reign in extreme behavior, but even so, people are basically good, and even under pressure, they behave in mostly predictable ways. I have nothing against movies that use the 'snap' device, but damn it, show prior motivation, use flashbacks if necessary, but do not just throw it out there and expect me to believe it.

....was it the fact that they were kids? Would it have made a difference to you if he just went and hacked up adult Jedi?

I say bring Donnie Yen as the next Bond villain
by hawaiian organ donor
The guy speaks perfect English and a fight between him and Craig would be legend. Let them fight it out in a glass factory. And have the fight spill over into an adjacent Sheetrock factory.
-
...he could be an Asian Secret Service gone rogue or some shit. But he couldn't be the head of Quantum. I'm still pulling for Liam.
-
It was probably in reference to Two-Face snapping in TDK. If I recall toad or someone didn't find it believable that Dent would go psycho so soon. I argued that his psychosis was always there but hidden as evidenced by his nearly killing 2 guys in the beginning, and that Joker was merely the catalyst for the slip over the edge.
-
I think we were originally talking about Two-Face and Toad transitioned into Anakin having the same problem. Thats right. You and I were saying Two-Face was completely justified because the love of his life had been blown to pieces.
-
I've seen it twice now becasue it kicks ass, but am still hazy on one thing. Vesper was being blackmailed by Quantum because they threatened to kill her boyfriend right? But her boyfriend was Quantum all along? Was that the deal?
-
My point is that NOBODY tried to help. After they were in the store they should have worked with the staff to pull the guy out. Grab a shopping cart and toss it into that pack of surging animals, ANYTHING, to stem the flow. I'm not kidding, I would have gone ballistic trying to rescue the guy. I'd have cleared a path with a chainsaw if need be.
-
We have seen this behavior, and many, many more deaths before at concerts. People are pushed against doors, being squashed by hundreds if not thousands of people behind them, all trying to get in, the moments doors open., the back of the crowd pushes even harder, those in front have no choice but to move or be trampled.
-
The tramplers, however fucking despicable they may or may not be can't be held viable. The burden of proof is just too strong. Bottom line here is that Wal-Mart should be sued the fuck out of because they should have known they needed and procured crowd-control measures.
-
oops
-
Yes. That was the whole point. Vesper's boyfriend is a Quantum agent that seduces female agents to betray their countries. They threaten the boyfriend's life and get the female's to sell out. Thats how much of a pimp he is. He's probably done this 20 times all over the world. Thats what he is doing at the end, seducing the Canadian chick with the intention of getting her to double cross Canadian secret service when Quantum threatens his life. Little do the women know, he is Quantum.
-
I hope Emmerich has the balls to finally finish us off. Fuck humanity I say.Donnie Yen could just be a henchmen. Is it just me or have Bond movies of late been missing classic henchmen like Odd Job and Jaws?It was Toad and I who were arguing about Dent's turn in TDK. Although that's the least of that film's worries.
-
Yes, it was the child aspect of the killings. In both cases Harvey Dent and Anakin, neither showed predisposition to the ultimate taboo, which is killing a child. Only a mother killing her child is worse. Dent may have even been worse than Anakin. At least Anakin had killed the showas? Although the were not human. Dent was going to kill a completely innocent child. I did not beleive it, nor do I still. I had major problems with TDK. I enoyed it, but it requires a big suspension of disbeleif, moreso than most action/superhero movies.
-
Sue WalMart? What the fuck? For what? The people broke into the fucking store before they were open. Crowd control? Give me a break. I went to some Black Friday sales, they were busy as fuck-- but I would never assume they needed crowd control. This was just a fluke incident.
-
They've been more subtle. In QoS it was that creepy skinny dude who Strawberry hilariously tripped down the stairs and ends up in a neck brace. I still laugh thinking about that scene with Strawberry's fake "Oh my gosh!"
-
I think there's slight hints in their character about what they are capable of, but there isn't an obvious 'this is when they snap' moment that suggests why they'd go after kids.
-
Yeah, I'm not sure what film I watched and what films you guys watched. I got none of that Vesper stuff. Probably because I was struggling to keep my eyes open.
-
...I don't know what you didn't like about QoS.
-
The motivation they used for Dent was his supposed willingness to kill one of the dudes who shot at Maggie G, down in the subway. Anakins motivation was the killing of the showas(sp?) who killed his mother. Both motivations were shown to involve adults that had harmed or tied to harm loved ones. Not innocent children.
-
Shit like this happens on Black Friday every year. Yes Wal-mart should be held liable for not having adequate crowd-control or security at their store when they knew it would be possibly be necessary. I hope that employee's family sues the fuck out of those cunts.
-
Yeah but you act like they are just random innocent children walking down the street. They're not. One is Gordon's kid, and the others are all the next generation of Jedi. Anakin is instructed to destroy every living Jedi. These kids will be his enemies in 10 years. He despises all things Jedi at this point, which includes the Younglings.
-
It doesn't. Someone who has a psychotic break loses all sense of right and wrong along with their empathy. They don't pick and choose between who can and cannot be killed (e.g.children).
-
Just not my sort of film, sadly. I like action flicks, but I kept struggling to figure out what was happening in QoS because the editing was so choppy... and to make matters worse, there wasn't much of an arc beyond 'kill to feel.' Which is fine for a low-budget DTV action flick, but this is a Bond reboot... surely there's more they can do than that?
-
To me it comes down to showing the motivation to commit such acts. It was completely lacking with Dent, and only a little less so with Anakin. I am not saying either was incapable of doing such things, but neither was shown to have any prior proclivity towards murdering children.
-
Yeah, but films aren't real life. They require motivations. You can't just 'flick' and become a child-killing psychotic.
-
Heh heh
-
I don't think any store should be allowed to hold a Black Friday event without having a security detail present. I think this is the first time anyone has been trampled to death but there are multiple injuries every year.
-
I don't see how anyone wouldn't like it either. It kicks ass man. The first car chase is a little dizzying but still pretty cool. The rooftop chase is sweet with Bond holding the guy down while he bleeds to death. The boat chase is awesome. The opera scene is a fucking BOND CLASSIC
-
Gives in Pulp Fiction when she jumps up on the counter? That's what I feel like doing on my desk right now. I'm so angry and disgusted with humanity right now. And why the hell am I sucking on this banana flavored Dum Dum that tastes like roasted ass?

The Opera scene is good, I just hate that they made the action dizzy. That's not Bond, ya know? The reason it works for Bourne is because Bourne acts on instinct, gut reactions. He doesn't think, to him it's all a blur. Bond isn't like that, he's calculated and intuitive. So the shooting style should be like that. Instead they seemed intent on not explaining how they got from Point A to Point C.
-
Opera scene lacked any tension, and it should have been a signature moment. It had no dramatic impact. I asked all of my friends - of the non-geek variety, who saw the movie and all of then said same thing about opera scene, it fell flat. The movie is ok. It is nowhere near as good as Casino. Craig is outstanding. Forster totally sucks as a director of action. The storyline also was a tad bit lacking, and it was the shortest Bond movie of all time. I looked at my watch and could not belive it. The fighting was not memorable at all. The airplane stunt was terrible. That being said, I am glad I saw it, but I was underwhelmed. It had almost zero charm. Bond was simply on a mission to kill. It had no moments that make the James Bond charcater unique.
-
Fuck that forgettable cunt juice. In 50 years people will remember these Bond films fondly. And they will ask, "Matt Damon....who?"
-
Never before has a Bond film captured anything like that. It was poetic, dramatic, eerie, and tense. I fucking loved cutting out the foley design in favor of the opera music. And those slam cuts to the characters on stage gasping in pain. Fucking awesome. Easily my favorite moment in the Bond franchise. How was that not dramatic? It was fucking epic.
-
Thats what I love about the writing. They don't hold your hand from point A to point C. Shit like Vesper's boyfriend seducing female agents to get them to sell out, is not explained. You have to figure it out for yourself. I fucking love that. There were details I was curious about, still trying to figure out hours later. But the pieces do all connect. To me-- that is a great film experience.
-
I don't necessarily mean character beats so much as scenes like the betrayal at the start. You have to figure out your own perception of what happened... which is just bad storytelling. I'm glad you liked it, but it felt like we were missing an hour of context.
-
You would nver comapare any of the non-Craig Bond movies to Bourne, for simple reason that they had their own unique style. It screamed. Bond. The Bourne movies, and they are damned good, elevated the quick cuts and some shaky cam, to new heights. Damon became far more belieable as the series progressed. But Zedd is correct, Bourne is simply an automaton, Bond is not. But the producers of Bond realized that Bourne is selling, so they have re-jiggered Bond to look and act and fight more like Bourne.But waht makes Bond special, is that he can bring charm and menace and intelligence, unlike the totally charmless Bourne. Casion was great in that it showed a nascent Bond, just learning to be 'Bond'. But QoS was a big step backwards.
-
In QoS, how come they never show Craig hurt? In CR he got the shit kicked out of him, but here he falls through a fucking glass window and shrugs it off.
-
That is funny. And if you see it again, check out how all the scratches on his face disappear when he meets Felix in the cantina. One moment his face is all fucked up, the next he is completely clean and perfect looking.
-
dammit again. spilled an entire coffee on my keyboard this morning.
And then the final scene where Bond pwns the guy responsible for Vesper's death was sweet. I loved every minute of the film. Especially the cynical plot with the American and British governments willing to do business with the villains. -
Was far better than the opera. Assasins circling perimeter, congas and bongo drums pounding out carribena beat. Bond dancing with an assasin. Drum beat increases. Cut from drums to Bond to assasins back to Bond, then crescendo! Gun shot! Bond moves just in time, and Luciana Paluzzi bites the dust.
-
For the record, Craig is a fantastic Bond. And QoS is only annoying when compared to CR. I'm sure a little editing would make the film work better for me.
-
Awesome. Few believe me when I say this, but I like it when films work for people. I just think a contrary approach breeds better discussion.
-
Well thats good. As long as you realize there is some good stuff in there. Its ridiculous that people claim there is not a single good moment in QoS. They are full of shit. Speaking of which I got a joke I heard last night from the great Gilbert Gottfried. How do you get a gay man to fuck a woman? Fill her cunt with shit.
-
With a tasteless comment - unless you like eating shit that is.
-
Yeah, fuck that. At the very least Felix rocks. And it's always fun when another shitty Bond villain is forced to drink near toxic shit.
-
another favorite QOS moment was when strawberry takes him to that shitty hotel and bond is like, "yeah fuck this shit" and goes to the five-star hotel and bangs her immediately.
-
Pimp.
-
....because I went to lunch. Watch it return with a vengeance.
-
...he was an awesome fucking character. And whats up with the "Is that your cover name?" bit. Is this a little hint that they are all cover names. James Bond is his cover name. This proves all Bonds are different guys!!
-
And that line is classic.I'm the first to admit the 2nd and 3rd Bourne movies lost their way. I'll take the 3rd over the 2nd any day but after that first awesome entry, the series really sputtered. But I agree that the new Bond reboot owes everything to the Bourne movies. And hell, while I'm at it I'll say the Batman reboot owes Bourne as well. Both took that gritty in your face action style and ran with it. Whether you want to argue that they use it better in Bond is neither here nor there.And I hate to break it to you Danny, in 50 years people will still know who Matt Damon is. The guy isn't going away. He's a decent actor, a decent writer and when his days in front of the camera are over, he'll move behind it.
-
...they'll just look back at the Oceans movies and remember him as that funny looking guy that looks mildly retarded.
-
like three days ago and now everybody joins in? I even said way up above that Donnie Yen would be a kickass one on one match up, since there are so few of those any more. Ah well.
-
He had a special on HBO the other night. I don't how old it was....but fuck, his humor would make both Chitty and I blush. I've never heard someone use the word CUNT so many times on stage. He had about a dozen jokes that began with, "So a guy is fist fucking a hooker's cunt....."
-
That's mental.
-
I like Wilkinson, but he's already played too many 'evil gangster like figures' for one lifetime.
-
BWAH
-
Patrick Stewart or Liam Neeson. Either way we should only be able to hear their voice and maybe a shot of their hand.
-
Cast them both. How awesome would it be to end Bond III with Neeson and Stewart standing side by side with a captured 'M' in front of them.
-
He has no soul.
-
Patrick Stewart is forever tarnished after X-Men. I can't take him seriously. I'm convinced he'll take any job for a check. He's the white Samuel L. Jackson.
-
Just awesome! The colors and guts alone when the worms get blowed up, is worth watching. Of curse the movie is kick ass too!
-
He's got years to go before he harms his legacy like De Niro did.
-
Awesome. I wish they made genre flicks like that more nowadays.
-

Neeson and Stewart, hell Kingsley. They all are overexposed
by toadkillerdog
Stewart and Kingsley and McKellen remind me of James Earl Jones back in the eigties. Got to the point that audiences would groan when JEJ appeared on screen in his typical authority role. Sam jackson is the exact same way. No, find someone other than the unholy three (or four)
-
Dec 01, 2008 3:05:09 PM CST
he doesn't really have that much of a legacy....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
What does he have? Star Trek, X-Men, that shitty Moby Dick made for tv movie, Seth McFarlane shows, and a ton of video game voice over work? Sheeesh.
-
Zedd, Tremors is not only a truly great flick, but it is a CoC requirement.
-

I'd find that hilariously fucked up.
-
From I, Claudius, to Cap'n Picard. From his Scrooge - onstage, to his shakespearean work. The dude can act.
-
Nothing much. Just killing time studying for a test tomorrow. You? Oh Hell NAWW!!! You did not just tarnish the good name of Jean-Luc. Stewart and his commanding voice are fucking awesome. Imagine how badass it would be if someone fucked up and let Bond live and he was all sinister and said something like, "Mr. Donavon, you have failed me for the last time. Time to meet your end." And then you just see his hand wave and then someone goes up to Donavon and shoots him in the temple. Fuck yes!! It must be his voice.
-
Make it so.
-
I like Stewart. I'm not knocking him....I'm just saying he doesn't have very many iconic roles. He has Picard and Prof. X, I mean its more than a lot of actors but he's one of the those guys that seems more famous than his characters. Its odd. His Shakespeare stuff is cool, but boring as fuck.
-
That makes sense. While I think he'd rock, ideally you'd want someone less obviously iconic. I mean, the Al Pacino rumour floating around was ridiculous - he'd kill a Bond flick stone-dead with his 'HOOOHHA, BRUTHHHA'
-
That's fucking inspired Zeddemore. Good call.
-
Just saw it. It was ok. But for some reason i sat there thinking i'd seen this film before. I don't know why. It's very samey. Mark Strong was good though. Crowe was amusing but really didn't have much to do, and Leo was essentially playing the same character as Blood Fucking Diamond and The Departed. All in all an underwelming effort from Scott.
-
Aye. Not sure if he'd do it, but it'd be great AND it'd have an epic Bond vs. Bond feel.
-
Dec 01, 2008 3:18:30 PM CST
going along with the theory JAMES BOND is a cover name....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....M could reveal to Craig's Bond that the former agent using the 007 cover disapeared years back on a mission. After the climax of the film, Craig Bond is captured by Quantum operatives in Antartica or some shit and brought in to the main dude who sits with his back to us in a massive leather chair. The chair turns to reveal Connery Bond with an eye-patch, who introduces himself as, "DeMille, Terrence DeMille. You may know me by my former cover name.....Bond, James Bond." DAH DAH DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!
-
Besides, I have it on good authority that Sir Sean's brogue has become so impenetrable he can't even understand himself when he speaks!
-
I am opposed to the stunt casting though.
-
If he did'nt come back for Indy 4, I doubt he would come back for this. Especially since he hates the role.
-
He can give a fuck about Indy. But this is his bread and butter....pussy butter that is.
-
I'd like to see the main films antagonist bring Bond to DeMille, and then DeMille shoots the antagonist in the face.
-
Connery would come back for this. Getting to play the villain that two films have been building up to?
-
Holy Shit! Sandra Lee is smoke stacked and has a killer bod. Giada misses no opportunity to shove her little but great cleavage down the cameras throat, and you baby Paula is still hot too!
-
Its true. The two finest things in life are great food and great ass. So I sit there marveling at the food network for about 5 hours straight on weekends.
-
That would be bad ass. To have some awesome, mean ass antagonist the audience really fears. And have him capture Bond and beat the shit out of him, dragging him down the hall to the main dude's office. The antagonist is built up to be the meanest motherfucker on the planet the entire film, and when he dumps Bond in front of DeMille, DeMille simply says, "Good work." BAM! Blasts him in the fucking face.
-
I have rarely watched this network. I only saw emeril anyway. Holy Shit I feel like new avenues of viewing pleasure have been opened - whoa Sandra just returned wearing skin tight shirt
-
Exactly. Connery is an arrogant fuck. He wouldn't come back for Indy Jones pussy ass dad, for a 5 minute cameo. But he would totally come back to be the head villain of the most feared criminal organization in DA' VORLD!!
-
When Bond was captured by Koreans
-
And you'd have to have a scene where 'M' gets a little lippy with him, so he gives her a little slap. DeMille's pure arrogant evil, he'll slap anything that walks.
-
like Claw on the Inspector Gadget cartoon: keep him in shadows with just the hand pounding on the table looking at computer screens, for a couple movies, then the big reveal once Bond is finally brought to him.
And it sucks that they killed Miss Fields so quick, she didnt do anything except fucking Bond and tripping the creepy henchman in the stairs. She was sexier than the other chick, and could have made a great new 'Moneypenny' type character that wets her panties over Bond every time she sees him at the office. -
Everything has been done. The question is....has it been done with Connery in an eye-patch?
-
Thats true. I didn't even think of that. Fields could have become Moneypenny. Oh fuck!! What a major fuck up....Marc Forster-- FUCK YOU!! QoS is shit now.
-
She was rather hot. Ah well.
-
I'm tired of Bond just kissing incredibly hot girls and then cutting away to them getting dressed up again. Fuck that shit. I at least want to see them naked a little. Every Bond girl should be required to do full-frontal.
-
Dec 01, 2008 3:47:00 PM CST

by dannyglovers_dickblood
...and then proceed to explain that "A Little" means full frontal. You must be French.
-
Has got to be a Bond bad guy. May have said this before at some point but there's been a lot of vodka under the bridge since then.
-
The thing is, it's a 2 hour movie and the director's got to push that plot arc through. I don't think people would fold in such a short space of time either but for the sake of the story I completely accept some kind of time compression. There are strange beasties prowling around outside and Mrs Carmody gets lucky with a couple of predictions and that's good enough for a few folk. The rest of it is the 'sheep' mentality. Even if they don't believe her, they'll follow the majority - cos they don't wanna get chucked outside!"People are fundamentally insane." Best line in The Mist.
-
Reign Of Fire, Memento (3 discs!), A Clockwork Orange & Deliverance on DVD - £5 each.Reign Of Fire is the only one I haven't seen. ACO and Deliverance I haven't seen in ages, looking forward to giving those a spin.
-
Nice one, dude.
-
This is one PATHETIC film.
-
Casualties Of War. That's another I haven't seen since it first came out on VHS. I recall liking the film but not to any great degree. Watched then forgotten.
-
I must be the wrong audience, because Fox and Penn are competing for the worst performance.
-
I don't remember a single detail. Suffered through being one of a slew of war films to follow in Platoon's considerable wake.
-
Have a good evening, all.Watch some movies!
-
Oh God it's bad. Even John C. Reilly looks out of it.
-
If you liked that Redacted is like the new war version of that movie. I actually liked Redacted. I think it nailed real military people, unlike Thin Red Line.
-
DAMN good documentary. Check it out. One of the few documentary's I've seen lately where most answered was given, I didn't leave with more answers like I usually do. Also after seeing it, I was like well maybe I can make a movie. That one guy really had no credentials for making a movie and he made a pretty impressive documentary. The sheer number of interviews was crazy. I was almost expecting an interview with George W. with the amount of people he was able to dig up. The info about supplements was really funny.
-
so Twilight dropped 62% to 3rd place, while Transporter 3 made a measly 12.5 mils in 7th, and that Milk movie that's getting all the hype barely made more than a million. Fucking tweens are a sickening breed.
-
dont know how I typed that
-
Watching last weeks episode with a guy gets attacked by killer Butterfly's. HAHAHAHAHAHAH how much would that suck to be that guys dad or son? Well he was killed by butterflies. Also I love how P Break and Fringe don't even try to be creative with the evil company's name. In P Break its just The Company? And in Fringe its Massive Dynamic. May as well just called it Enron.
-
Hahahah then Fringe makes a joke about the name of the company.
-
Was directed by the same guy who is doing The Day The Earth Stood Boring. Seriously Emily Rose was one of the most boring films I've ever sat through. I don't think I ever finished it. It was not scary nor was it good. So Day looks like a non starter for me now.
-
By the guy who directed Mr. Hollands Opus????? Crazy. You know if you think about it, Into the Blue 1 was kind of the beginning of Josh Brolins comeback. Man that movie was lame but the last 1/2 hour was pretty crazy.
-
nice, they'll get my $10! Or $7 for the matinee at least!
-
Speed Racer is fucking amazing. My favorite film of the year. Much better then TDK. Mainly because its much more original and nor a cheap ripoff of Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance, and technically speaking it had a lot more first. Plus John Goodman's performance will go overlooked by....um everyone. Don't understand why he didn't do the late show circuit for the movie, lets face it Emile Hirsch and Christina Ricci aren't really the people you want promoting your movie. Especially if you got Goodman and Sarandon. The movie is very very ADD, and I believe its the first movie with a built in learning curve. Because really it takes about 20 minutes for you to get and believe what your seeing. If you don't like that hyper kinetic feel in movies, you'll hate Speed. But watching Speed makes me believe in the Brothers W, once again. Troy Duffy could have learned a few things from The Brothers W.
-
Its all new actors. So no speedo shot of Paul 'I don't watch my own movies' Walker.
-
checked the casting on IMDB, sounds like direct to dvd with all the lame nobodies they have in there. They got some girl from the Hills on there!
And how can Walker not watch his movies, arent they all forced to go to premieres and sit there? If not, they should be forced, maybe sitting thru a shit movie would push them to make better ones. -
I almost didnt read the Benjamin Button article because the movie doesnt interest me, and that's how I find out that Mori's gone? This sucks...

Check out this shot of Gambit. -
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY DEADPOOL PIC!!!!
-
but I dont remember Gambit doing the splits in the comics, must be why he wasnt cast...
-
These shows like X-Files, Lost, Fringe, Prison Break, Heroes, 2 and a Half Men and The Sarah Connor Chronicles is all these shows and their Big Brother aspect that causes all the main characters problems. Why don't we ever get a show about them? I'm tried of seeing the struggling outsider trying to fight and always besting these almighty all knowing "corporations" that seem to be able to do whatever they want whenever they want. I want to see a show about these entities, I want to see their origin story. How a certain group of people all of the sudden became responsible for all the knowledge in that shows universe. That's what made the initial fascination of Men In Black so interesting, they pulled back the curtain and showed that these secret government agency's run just like the DMV. I think that is why I like the show My Own Worst Enemy, because its part behind the curtain show. I'm tried of seeing the good guys always running around scared for their lives of these secret theory causing people that taught their lives. I want to see a show about the people who make decisions to hide the "big secret" from the rest of the world. The people that make the decisions to kill a bunch of people, because they can and those people "knew too much". I already know the name of it, Wal-Mart: The Lee Scott Chronicles.
-
I wonder if they just skip over the fact that he's hideously disfigured in order to have a hot guy sandwich with slab of worlds sexiest man in the middle.
-
About that Gambit picture, I agree, the picture sucks. I think you might be surprised by the actor, the kid is good. He pretty much plays Gambit without superpowers on the TV version of Friday Night Lights. He took a what could have been a very one note character and infused it with a lot of life. Plus he can play tough convincingly.I dislike Gambit as a character but I became interested when they hired this kid. I think he might do well in what is a thankless shitty role.
-
You guys all signed up? The fuck is that all about?
-
why you're including 2 and a Half Men in that lineup of heavy conspiracy-themed shows? Do you really mean the Charlie Sheen sitcom?
-
If they dont change the character, why would they hire prettyboy Reynolds to play him, other than his smartass personality? To make him like in the comics, they'd have to slap on tons of ugly make-up like they did with Jigsaw for the new Punisher flick. Jigsaw looks horrible by the way, it's way overdone, but maytbe it will end up looking better than in the trailer.
-
Dude, get with the fucking program. 2 and a half Men is a fucking cover for Operation Northwoods, MK Ultra, and the disappearance of Shegar. Open your eyes!! The truth is right fucking there mate!
-
There is no curtain, The DVM is how the goverment runs. Shitty, lowest common denominator of incompetent tards. There is no big secret.
-
of Men, so I guess I missed the pervasive subtext to the fat kid's atrocious acting, and the closeted brother who looks like a clone of the flamboyant one from Will & Grace.
Fuck, why do I know so much about shitty sitcoms I dont even watch??? -
The 2 and 1/2 men was to see if people where paying attention.
-
Is ducky from those John Hughes movies. I've actually only seen one episode of two and one half men.
-
That show is awesome! It is damn trippy as hell, the detail in it is so weird. Did you know that the guy who directed Role Models is the voice of the warden.
-
...he could handle dry comedy at an incredibly young age. He has always come off very natural. It just seems like he doesn't give a shit about anything.
-
Fucking I really hate Lynch fans, they sit around all day sucking his dick when they can never can explain shit so it makes sense. Anyone telling me that Inland Empire is a good movie, even on artistic standpoint is a fucking follower. There is nothing in that movie that is remotely enjoyable or having a point, never mind the fact that you can't see half the movie. Lynch had some good early works, then he made Mulholland Dr. which worked for the first hour and then just went bat shit crazy for the last third and meant nothing. There is a reason for that, because Lynch made the first hour as a possible pilot and no one bought it, so he tagged out a mess of a half an hour and called it a movie. It may have made for an interesting show, but once every critic fell in love with its amazingness no one ever bothered to question why he didn't break the movie into chapters for the DVD???? Because it ruined the movie or something was his reasoning, and no one dared to call bullshit on this made up art? Don't get me wrong I'll watch a Lynch film, in fact a got two or three on my DVR to watch again and for the first time. I'll usually watch a Lynch movie again (save for Inland) because they are interesting and usually require more then one viewing. But lets face it, most Lynch movies don't make a hell of a lot of sense, and are not that enjoyable to watch.
-
A lot about his films are just experiments. Inland Empire as a whole is an experiment, he wanted to make a whole movie financing it himself and being in control of everything. It was a 3 million dollar experiment. But people act like his movies are some fucking sistine chapel of film. The closest thing to greatness Lynch has done is Elephant Man or maybe Eraserhead.
-
Because you think he's cute. Cute in that altar boy sort of way.
-
Kitten, and it farts.
-
Being the bad guy in P Break is making this season intense again.
-
I see Breaking, and i think its something about Breaking Bad. If you haven't seen that show its amazing, best show I've seen in a while. Check it out.
-
Has anyone else noticed that on the Blu Rays set up at the stores look very weird? Like the film is speed up? And the film just looks weird and not right, like too good, better then the actual movie.
-
Google "Hillsborough" for the worst one ever- Although not as petty as for a fucking discount, and partially caused by police incompetence, there were 96 people crushed to death. I grew up in Sheffield and remember it clearly, I had friends at the game, and it was at least partially caused by the topography of the stadium- which created the bottleneck, and I wonder if that Wallmart thing was at least partially similar.
-
Occupier's Liability. They're fucked
-
Blows. Really, really blows.
-
is getting on my wick.
-
But it's too damn early.
-
Lynch has been great in the past, but you can actually see the moment he lost it- Roughly 2/3 of the way through Lost Highway. He'd painted himself into a corner by having Pullman go to Jail, so to extricate his main character he literally had him transform into something else. It was this point on that made me convinced that he was simply making shit up as he went along. Inland Empire is unwatchable. Literally unwatchable.
-
it does exist: Eraserhead, Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Dune (fuck you all, I like it), Twin Peaks. It isn't like he doesn't have it in him.
-
morning Frank.
-
morning Frank.
-
I have an attack of the Nodes. Very bizarre.
-
I must admit, I've never been a huge fan of Lost Highway or the Twin Peaks film, but I love everything else Lynch has done. I think I prefer him when he's making some effort to wrestle his crazy thoughts into some kind of coherent story - Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart are probably my favourites of his - but I do like Mulholland Drive very much, and I disagree with Series 7 that it makes no sense. Once the delusional/dreamlike nature of the story clicks, it makes perfect sense. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, though.I have yet to see Inland Empire, partly because I'm a bit scared. Isn't about three hours long? I'm not sure I can take a full three hours of David Lynch weirdness in one sitting.
-
Seriously. Awful, awful shite. Do not put yourself through it. Every time you think you are getting a handle on it something weird happens for no reason. Makes your brain melt.
-
while good, I don't think is in the same class as Blue Velvet. That could just be me though.
-
Mrs. Jarv has absolutely vetoed it. She's got a copy of the changeling to watch, but I keep finding other things that we need to see instead. Mostly because I don't like Clint Eastwood in full on Oscar Bait mode. (Million Dollar boredom for example).
-
How goes it?Jarv, as I told you yesterday, Mrs Jarv is a smart woman. Avoid Southland Tales like the plague! It's not as bad as you have heard... It's much, much worse.
-
Glad to see someone else (Series7) didn't get Mulholland Drive. From the way you explained it yday I thought i must have had a retard moment.
-
Stifler + Magic Ice Cream Van + Buffy as porn star sounds like gold.
-
that's exactly what I thought! Take it from someone who approached it in exactly the same way. I really thought that, if nothing else, it would have a little Buffy as Jenna Jameson titilation to get me through, and Lovitz as well. I was wrong. It's an infuriating mess that i turned off half way through and only kept watching the next day once I'd calmed down. And it's long. Really fucking long.
-
Maybe not then.
-
Are you still baiting people in the Milk TB?
-
He's a fantasist and a luntaic. He is utterly incapable of stating a position, instead, he chooses to post mind numbing tracts of garbage without a single coherent thought. And then he LIES about things (in a really sad way), to try to support his point. Bigoted douchebag.
-
I haven't looked at that TB for days. It's actually quite depressing.
-
And I want to beat the person that came up with "fucking your eyeballs" around the head with a sack full of rocks. A)That doesn't sound good. B)Hyperbole, much? c)We haven't seen ANYTHING of Avatar yet. they need to stop it.
-
Yeah, I thought it was amusing at first, but it got old very quickly. I'm really looking forward to Avatar, but I really don't know what i'm looking forward to. Not many people do.
-
at keeping details secret. It's still a year out, but we usually know every detail of a film before it comes out. I have to actively avoid info on certain films now. Like Benjamin Button. Really looking forward to it, but want it as fresh as possible so have avoided as much talk as possible.
-
Wild At Heart is one of the few films that is able to pull my romantic side out from deep inside the cave it lives in (like Gollum), which is why I like it.I think it's because it's such a dark and twisted romance, which appeals to me more than your Sandra Bullock/Kate Hudson type stuff jpt likes so much.
-
Mulholland Drive isn't for everyone. If you didn't like it, it's not worth sitting through it again to figure it all out. Why bother? There are so many other films to watch.For me, even though I didn't get it on the first sitting, I was sufficiently intrigued that I wanted to watch it again to figure out what the fuck was going on.
-
I still think it's worth a look, Jarv, if only to see just how lost and confused a film-maker can get.Plus, we need the shit films to remind us how good the good films are.
-
unspeakable Matthew McConaghy rubbish the other night. He's one of the few things that Family Guy has been right about- "As hard as telling him that he sucks". Best line of that "Dazed and Confused was passable, but everything else you've done is unacceptable".
-
Mrs. jarv knows to watch them with someone that isn't me.
-
Central Station. Simply brilliant. I prefer City of God, but Mrs. Jarv was in floods towards the end of it. Just great stuff.
-
Of course McConaghy doesn't give a toss. Why would he? He used to be an actor, and now he just takes his shirt off for money.It's an honest living, I suppose.Have seen that ad for some after shave or other, where he literally just takes his shirt off and smiles? That's his entire career in a thirty second micro-burst!
-
Dec 02, 2008 6:00:27 AM CST
I really dislike Family Guy...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
but they occasionally have moments of brilliance. Haven't seen that McConaghy bit. For some reason I keep expecting him to come out with a really great film. I have no idea why. Dazed and Confused and Contact are his only really good films. And he isn't very good in Contact. He was ok in Tropic Thunder. I have to admit Sahara is a very guilty pleasure. Like The Core. Utterly moronic, but i was entertained. What does that say about me!?
-
City of God is a very good flick though.
-
I pretty much love all of his stuff except Wild at Heart and Inland Empire. WAH just does'nt do it for me. It always annoys me and then gives me a headache. I fucking love Mulholland Drive though. I can totally see why someone who does not like Lynch at all could hate it but I can't see why someone who likes Eraserhead or Blue Velvet could. The cowboy alone is worth admission. Also the movie seemed pretty self-explanatory. First half=dream, second half=reality with some flashbacks. That's the way I look at it at least. Oh and Southland Tales is twice as fucking terrible as everyone makes it out to be. Truly shit with no redeemable values. The same goes for Inland Empire. I'm a huge Lynch fan since the age of 12 and even I could'nt fucking stand it. Jeremy Irons was pretty good though. The lesson with those two movies I think is that directors really need editors or some type of overseer. Every time they get absolute creative control the results are usually pretty awful self-indulgent tripe.
-
if someone just gave you 200 million to make any movie you wanted and you got final cut and complete creative control what would you make? I'm kind of torn. On the one hand I would like to make some really slow thoughtful sci-fi flick. Maybe an 8 hour adaption of Dune or The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov. Or maybe Snow Crash. Some "hard" science fiction for once. It's been a while since we've gotten something like that. While on the other hand I have a great urge to make some incredibly fucking goofy 3 hour movie about badass mercenaries made up by all the guys on the CoC list, who are just dropped into the Amazon jungle to rescue some civilians and bring them back alive. Oh and they can only use knives for some reason and they have bombs surgically implanted in them. It could be called CoCked and Loaded.
-
To quote South Park: "BLeurgh, that was awful"
-
If I had 200 million and total creative control, I would take the novel I am trying and failing to write and turn it into a film.With me in complete control, the end result would be a colossal clusterfuck - on account of I know nothing about directing films - but who cares? I figure, once I've made a film that big, I'll have a career for life.Have you ever noticed how even the worst directors still get work? That could be me!
-
not Foundation. No way. Problem being that a lot of it is dull, and all of it deals with maths and probablility. I could warm to Dune. I'd want to see a "proper" adaptation of Howard's conan. That would be cool. I'd also like my cyberpunk Alien to "fuck everyone's eyeballs" and restore the series to it's greatness.
-
Changian cinema does not require a massive budget. If anything, a small budget suits it more. It just requires that Badass is set to 11 and (preferably)Kurt is cast and doesn't cry.
-
Today is the day, for some reason, that many people are angry at poor little me.Word must have gotten around that I am not onboard the Dark Knight boat.
-
Just learn the fight club quote about staking from cubicle to cubicle murdering the inhabitants.
-
No one is on board The Dark Knight ship. Haven't you read around these parts lately? Its now cool to trash it. Five months ago it was cool to suck its dick, so thats what everyone was doing. You can always give it a few months and watch the love faaaaaaaaaaaaade away. Happens every fucking time. Unless its sentimental bullshit like Shawshank Redemption.
-
I've told people that one day i will snap and go postal. U2's A Beautiful Day is my going postal song. Fuck i hate that song.They take my rants with a grain of salt.
-
Have I returned to the AICN to find it a place where everyone now realises The Dark Knight is not all that great?Have my prayers been answered?I'm watching it again when it comes out on DVD, mind you. I'm keen to know whether the litany of complaints I had about the film were fair. It could be my first reaction to the film ('What the fuck is all the fuss about?') was wrong, but I hope not.
-
liked it. A lot. Really want to watch it again.
-
anyway frank- you liked that unmitigated load of semen that apparantly was a fantastic four film.
-
I don't think it would work on my new boss, though.I suspect she would lamp me.
-
Although I think what you're referring to Danny is what happened to Saving Private Ryan as well.It sure wouldn't play well with fans and the politically correct crowd, but Droid I think you hit on something. A scene directed by David Fincher of a guy going through the office blasting workers in slo-mo as "Beautiful Day" plays. Make it happen.
-
Like with The Dark Knight.And then sometimes I get on entirely the wrong boat, like with Fantastic Four, and I am cold and lonely and many people on various other boats are laughing and pointing at me.It's okay, though. Us iconoclasts have thick skins (we have to or we'd cry all the time).
-
...and its funny, because I was the one talking a ton of shit about it before it came out while everyone was spitting in their palm and stroking off to the trailer. I don't really like Batman Begins. Its okay, but its not all that. TDK is a marvelous fucking film. Not even necessarily a marvelous Batman film, just a great achievement in general. I saw it 3 times in the theater and it got better and faster paced with each viewing.
-
If that film had stopped before Red got Paroled it would have been spectacular. However, that mawkish last 10 mins nearly ruins the awesomeness that had come before. It's still very good, just it could have been great.
-
is a really good flick. My only prob is that its too long. But I still think Begins is better. But i much prefer origin films, so i'm pretty alone there. I just ordered them both on Blu-ray. Looking forward to a Batman weekend.
-
I think there is about 20 minutes of brilliance in Shawshank spread throughout the film. But overall, I'm just fine never seeing it again.
-
At least the boat is more roomy now, I prefer my leg room.
-
Not for one fucking second. I think I occasionally get on the wrong boat as well. I just assume though, that I'm the only one that read the sign properly and got the vessel called "Correct" and they didn't.
-
I don't give a flying fuck if it's a sappy ending or not, I still love it.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:07:34 AM CST
I just thought Bale was such a prick in Begins....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
I wanted someone to slap the shit out of him. And the villains were fucking horrid. I can give a fuck about Qui Gon Liam the Ninja Master and all that switcheroo shit where Watanabe is not the guy, Liam is the guy!! And Scarecrow....eeeeesh. Should have brought in Bane instead, at least he would have been fun to watch tear the fuck out of Arkham.
-
I kid Frankie, I kid!They still suck something fierce.
-
but is still the best Superhero film I've seen. There's too much gubbins in it that doesn't help the film, and Dent's turn is too forced. I still don't think they killed 2Face. He'll be back.
-
...they are not nearly as miserable as X-Men films. At least they know what they are, light-hearted kiddie films. X-Men wakes up in the morning with that Patrick Stewart complex, thinking its some gifted piece of art.
-
But TDK grabs it and flushes it's head in the toilet. Katie "robot" Holmes can fuck off forever.
-
I really like that film, and I can watch it again and again. It's one of the few really sappy films I can stomach.Is The Majestic any good? It's the only Darabont film I haven't seen, and I'm thinking of giving it a go since I enjoyed The Mist so much.
-
There is just a ton of things that suck balls about it.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:12:01 AM CST
FF2 was not nearly as terrible as the first one...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But its a sliding scale. I still think Silver Surfer should get his own flick.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:12:57 AM CST
I'm the only guy on the planet that liked The Majestic....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...its a simple, sweet film. And I think he captured the era perfectly. Bruce Campbell plays an Errol Flynn sorta swashbuckler in a film within the film.
-
Have you seen Baby Mamma?
-
I think it's a great origin flick.
-
Verdict?
-
And you're right Danny, it's a throwback, if you will, to simpler movies. Probably one of my favorite Carrey performances.
-
I didn't mind her in Begins. The one thing that annoys the fuck out of me is when she says 'occasion' as two words. "Oh casion." Thats the point where i want to beat her head against a brick wall.I don't think Gyllanhall did any better in TDK.
-
Its very Frank Capra, that film.
-
nope, not a fan of any of them. However, they don't make me want to hurt puppies like the FF films do. The X-Men efforts are the mopey goth teenager that sits indoors listening to the cure cutting himself, whereas the FF films are the fat 6 year old that gorges on chocolate till he pukes on your couch.
I can do without both, to be honest. But I think I hate the sugar filled bawsack a bit more. -
Sold!
-
...is Bale lisping "MY ACTIONS-- DEFINE ME!!" every 30 seconds. Fuck the dialogue was embarrassing in that thing.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:17:30 AM CST
The Majestic was a bit underwhelming...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It tried to replicate the tone of Shawshank a bit too much i think. It was good. But too long for its own good.
-
Carrey's best film is the awesomeness of The Truman Show. His worst is probably the number 2(3) which Mrs. Jarv gave me for my birthday a few years ago and then cursed about how shit it was.
-
That's one for you and Mrs Pillow Talk, I reckon. Nice little comedy, plus some romance and babies and whatnot. Right up your alley.I like Tina Fey. She's funny.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:19:19 AM CST
When the best bit of the flick is the first 5 minutes...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
as in X2, then you know you're in trouble.
-
The 200 million would be purely for my benefit. Trust me I'll have blown most of the budget by the first week on unnecessary explosions and stunts that wont even end up being in the final cut because I haven't finished writing the script yet and they make no sense in the story. Trust me, my complete lack of experience and huge ego will insure that while it may have cost 200 mil, the end result will look like a shitty DTV Seagal effort...if that. I'll probably still dig it though.
-
and she certainly is not hot. I bet she's really fucking needy and a fishwife.
-
is a great film. Carrey is really good. Peter Weir needs to make more films. Master and Commander is great as well.
-
That's one of those rare films that made me angry it was so bad.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:23:16 AM CST
I'm weirdly attracted to Tina Fey...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
and I have no idea why. It's really disturbing.
-
And I don't remember saying anything about her being hot.Don't you like 30 Rock, Jarv? Mean Girls?
-
that the opening scene to X2 is as shitty as I do? I never liked it. I thought the part where Nightcrawler punches that secret service guy when he is obviously like 5 feet away pretty hilarious though.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:25:52 AM CST
I've said everything I'm going to say about TDK
by hawaiian organ donor
So I don't need to repeat yet again why I think it's a steaming turd. And Batman Begins wasn't much better. I'm the sole passenger of a boat who curses the day Nolan was brought in to helm the franchise. At least as a writer. His direction has been aces.Between X3, Blade 3, SM3, Superman Returns and the new Batman movies, I'm worried that they blew their load on superhero movies and have nothing left.I wonder if the new Punisher movie is going to be any good. I could use a good dose of over the top violence right about now.
-
I reckon I'll throw in on the 'ol queue.
-
It don't like Nolan's interpretation of Batman at all. He takes the material way too seriously and can't deliver the kind of visuals I like to see in a comic book adaptation.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:34:07 AM CST
30 Rock is awesome. Tina is funny and fucking hot.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
And Justin Timberlake should fucking explode.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:34:32 AM CST
The Joker put explosive charges in your negative boat
by just pillow talk
-
I'd pound Tina Fey's snatch akin to what Pacquio is going to do to De La Hoya this weekend. She's not hot but I think she's cute and cute goes a long way.Baby Mama on the other hand is an abortion of a movie. Avoid at all costs. The only laughter it elicits is through the tears when you realize your life is so pathetic you're watching Baby Mama.I really liked The Majestic. It was a sweet movie that made me not want to wipe humanity off the face of the earth for a change.
-
HEADS WILL FUCKING ROLL!! And I agree....Nolan's take on Gotham isn't very Gothamy. As far as a Batman film I still prefer Batman Returns. Thats why I say I dont really like TDK so much as a Bat-Film, but just as a great film. I can distinguish between the two. Because I'm not a bloody cunt. And I don't mean bloody like a Brit would say, I mean literally bloody. Like menstrual cycle blood. Why is it brown? Fucking disgusting. But so fucking hot.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:37:19 AM CST
I'm also alone in the Hulk boat...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Lee's Hulk is great until it goes haywire in the last 20 minutes. Frenchies Hulk is boring and shit. The end pretty much sums up his intellect. HULK-SMASH!I've been alone on this boat since day one.
-
I get seasick quite easily.
-
I thought Baby Mamma was a decent little film. Not a classic, but it made me laugh enough times that I liked it.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:39:58 AM CST
I always thought Returns was the best...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
of the Burton incarnation. Pretty perfectly cast and off the wall with the penguin army and such.
-
I think Lee's Hulk is genius 97.5% of the film. Frenchie Hulk is fun and entertaining 73.2% of the film. All Lee needed to do was end his film with the fight at the end of Frenchie film and fans everywhere would be lapping his balls like they had milk on them.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:40:24 AM CST
And 30 Rock is one of the best written comedies
by hawaiian organ donor
To come along in a while. Alec Baldwin proves that he is a god. And that Jane Krackabrewski chick oozes sex appeal. Whenever I see her I entertain the filthiest thoughts imaginable.
-
Well, they all can't be hokey like the FF, right? True, I can't remember much of anything from the FF movies, but that's a good thing, right?
-
...they would all feature lines like "I'm Juggernaut BITCH!" Fortunately Daredevil has too much self respect for shit like that.
-
I think that may be my fault.Sorry about that.Soon, I will be on a bus. Then at home.
-
I totally see what he wanted to do with the film, but it didn't work for me. I didn't like Bana in that role, he didn't fit the "scientist" mode for me. Sure Nolte is pretty entertaining, but much like many had a problem with Batman Begins and Fear message, I can only hear so much of Banner's daddy issues. As I won't see the other Hulk version until the end of the month, I cannot compare the two as of yet. But I am never interested in watching Lee's Hulk when it's on tv.
-
Lee's Hulk is way fucking better than the new shitty one. It beats it on every level, Story, Direction, action scenes, acting, production design, everything. I fucking love the ending of Lee's Hulk though. I remember being in the theatre when the movie came out with my Dad and seeing the part when Nolte teleports the Hulk through the clouds with the lightning and just being in awe. So fucking beautiful.
-
You lucky fuck. I would kill to take a bus to work.
-
notwithstanding the stupid playground scene. By no means a perfect movie, but I thought a pretty good attempt.
-
FF, Hulk and Batman? Didn't we have this discussion like twenty times already? Really slow or no news these days. Need a political TB to inject some life. Maybe need Jonah or Fred to come up with left field topics to discuss.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:46:32 AM CST
Seriously, what's with Fox...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
and it's unnatural desire to rape each and every successful property it has? It can't all be Rothman can it? Now there are Speed 3 rumours? What's next? Another Romancing the Stone sequel?
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:47:16 AM CST
I agree.....those flashes of Hulk in the clouds....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....are fucking epic. I love everything about that film. I love the cerebral approach to the character. I can only watch a big lug tear apart the city for so long. Its not entertaining to me. I would much rather explore his inner conflict. I love the flashbacks to his fucked up childhood with his dad screaming and going nuts and the green mushroom cloud. Fucking iconic. Frenchie Hulk had great action, but it is basically "Hulk For Retards."
-
Baby Mamma was so bad I had to put down a tarp 10 minutes into it to collect the pools of blood from clawing at my own flesh.And I have a date to appear in Little People's court from all the midgets I punched.Tina Fey should go door to door offering blowjobs to poor saps who rented it.
-
I kid..somewhat. His best action scenes were against the military.Not the fight with some rabid dogs or that thing at the end with his dad. I did not like that one bit.
-
No one ever mentions this but I thought Elfman's score was fan..fucking...tastic. Completely perfect. I listen to it to zone out every once in a while. I can't believe they ditched his theme for that rancid soap opera shit for the new movie.

...people were hard on it because it was Affleck. There is too much wire shit and some goofy moments. But overall its okay. I love that bar fight where he fucks up the whole room in crazy strobe/sonar view.
-
And will she arrive in time for Christmas?
-
....and that opening title sequence, one of the best.
-
Just because I enjoy the goofiness of FF does not mean I wish all comic books films were the same.Give me more Iron Man. And more Spider-Man 2. And, obviously, I would like a lot more Blade 2.What I don't want is a comic book adaptation by a man (a talented man, no doubt) who would rather be making a Heat knock off.
-
I see where people are coming with when they bring up the hulk dogs. They were pretty goofy, but I still liked them. They and Eric Bana are the weak links in the movie, imo. Replace him with Norton and add a different action scene in place of the dogs and you have a perfect film.
-
Dec 02, 2008 10:52:43 AM CST
That was the best thing about Hulk...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Lee actually made the characters psyche interesting. The whole Daddy complex worked for both Bruce and Betty. It was actually an interesting film. Unlike the new one. And the editing was truly great. It worked for me. The ending looked great, but i'm still not 100% sure what happened!I do think that the new one could just be considered a sequel if you remove the opening credits though.
-
Damn. I love him in that role. He looks like a fucking loose cannon that appeared mild-mannered on the outside but would rip your head off in a second. I liked him a lot more than Norton. Norton is just a pussy. Nowhere is it written that Bruce Banner has to be an absolute pussy. I never got a sense of inner conflict from him. Bana looked fucked up. His eyes looked haunted.
-
to have you eaten by his ex-bear when discussing Wales or some other such silly British nonsense. Be thankful that the Bear will soon be under Pillow ownership.

Earlier this morning I asked everyone what they would make if given 200 million and complete creative control of a movie. You'd have to direct and write it yourself, unless your adapting a book. Not sure if you guys have done that already or not though.
-
And on days when I have argued with many people on the phone, I get the bus home.Today, I am treating myself to a lazy bus ride. Also, a delicious omelette. Or maybe I'll be lazy and get some delicious chips.And with that, I'm off. Night, all!

And the familial feeling of the group, which was very reminiscent of the Lee/Kirby book. That being said, the FF movies were strictly kiddie stuff. Still who says that is a bad thing?

by dannyglovers_dickblood
....to blow you on camera, chances are its gonna happen. And that still leaves you with 50 to shoot some decent car chases and explosions.
-
200 million? Hmmm, well first of all that would not be enough money after I skimmed, er, paid various entities who contributed to the storyline creation, although not in a credited way, so they do not show up on the books, and the fact that they all share the same cayman island bank account in a bank that I happen to use is mere coincidence. However, my ambition would be to finally bring to the big screen a full adaptation of Lancelot Link Secret Chimp. No CGI. Real Chimps just like in the 70's TV show.
-

I might consider a proper Masters of the Universe epic....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...told in two 3 hour parts. With lots of location work (can we please find somewhere other than fucking New Zealand?) and practical effects. I would probably bring Frank Langella back as Skeletor. He is just fucking awesome in that role.
-
I just don't like him as an actor. I find him really fucking boring to look at. Something about him. I got a feeling I'm not going to enjoy Star Trek just because he plays the villain. Plus he looked really stupid whenever he was supposed to be getting mad. Like I said though I love the film, I just wish they had cast someone else. I loved all the other casting decisions. Especially Nolte and Elliot. Also while it's not written down anywhere that Banner has to be a pussy I just sort of like him like that.
-
I always thought that guy looked like he could be a mean fucking drunk.
-
With a 200M budget and complete creative control, I'd make a Starblazers movie. And it would be R-rated. Gritty sci-fi with lots of death and nude nurses.
-
Make an apocalyptic move with the hottest chicks imaginable. The sets/special effects would be on the cheap. I need the all the money for "convincing" Salma, Monica, Kate, Catherine, etc, to appear naked in my movie. Plus to fuck the director repeatedly every day until my dick is black and blue.

A big screen adaptation of Alfred Besters: The Stars My Destination. My favorite Sci-Fi book of all time.
-
to the big three auto CEO's. How the fuck can the manage on a $1 salary? They poor bastards will starve.
-
You should check out the book GREATEST SCI-FI FILMS NEVER MADE. There is a very interesting chapter on Stars My Destination. Richard Gere bought the rights many years back and wanted to do it. A lot of weird shit about that project. Some shadowy rich guy that lived on an island owned the rights and was working on a script for years, and then he died and it was in limbo. It sounds like a great story, I've never read it. But the anti-hero approach sounds cool. It almost sounds like Riddick sort of world.
-
because clearly I have trouble writing proper English sentences. Fuck. Me.
-
It deals with teleport worm-holes doesn't it?
-
In my humble opinion, it is the greatest work of Sci-fi ever produced. Just a tremendous story, written by the finest writer that the genre has ever produced. I will check out the Richard Gere story, thanks.
-
A big screen adaptation of the classic 1980's TV show BJ and the Bear.
-
Human teleportation. But it is so much more than that. Action, adventure, mystery, battles. Howard Chaykin did a tremendous graphic novel adaptation of it back in the eighties. Very faithful to the book.

...I'll read it someday.

Rubbing elbows with Portman and Lohan and getting mentioned by Apatow. And apparently he's hung like a horse.I think Dickblood is holding out on us. He has the power to make things happen but he leaves us poor office schlubs twisting in the wind.

-
No no. If I had any power I would be making things happen. I only have the power to cum on command. Thats about it.

No....he was talking about guys that fucked his ex-wife.
-
How a guy with the handle DGDB called him a worthless cum stain and his movies a blight on American cinema. Apparently Apatow trolls AICN in between takes to build up his self confidence.

His ex-wife still walks with a limp. The Dickblood is strong with that one...

Is a great film. Mamet's just a fucking genius. Ebert's review is pretty funny because he rips into Tamahori for completely ruining the impact of the end by fading to black and immediately having a title card for Bart the Bear. He's even ranted in reviews for other films about it.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It had a ridiculously awesome last 20 minutes and Langella just hamming it up. One of my very secret guilty pleasures that one.
-
Best scene is Brina Cox slamming that woman for her dog and it's constant licking of it's own asshole. I saw that fucking movie three times in the theater in college and nearly pissed myself everytime that scene came up.
-
And Langella indeed kicks ass.
-
His silver tongue was perfect for Blacks dialogue. He read it like it was Shakespeare.
-
The reviews kept me from that one.
-
the villain in that was hysterical. Who was that dude?
(Pulls out knife)
Gina: Oh honey. Only three inches?
Bad guy: You'll feel me. -
Only other thing i can remember him in was Cinderella Man. And the thirteenth floor... I think it was called.

So if you're mentioned on there only the commentators would know.I haven't watched The Edge since the theater. I guess I need to rent it.

I only remember him in Cinderella Man because i saw the end on tv the other day. He plays the "unbeatable" Heavyweight champ who crowe beats at the end.

The Long Kiss Goodnight. No fucking lie. I loved that movie when I was like 8. Geena Davis looked really hot when she remembered who she was and got her blonde hair do.
-
Dec 02, 2008 1:31:51 PM CST
And it had a great performance by Samuel L.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Before he became way too overexposed.
-
Surely the part where Geena Davis tells him that her daughter is his and he looks all shocked and then looks at the little girl and says "Is that daddy's little bitch over there!!?? Bring her over here!!", qualifies him. I have'nt seen the movie in a while but that's pretty close.

I mean....he's not manly. But he has fucked manly men. Does that mean anything?
-
"Ready? We're going to do the torture thing."
Black has got to be the most bad ass quotable writer in contemporary film history. The movies are just plethoras of gold one-liners. -
Ok, the above clip is not from Lancelot Link Secret Chimp, but it is funny as hell. There are many Lancelot Link youtubes out there for your viewing pleasure though
-
He could be the chief man. Wasn't he the inspiration for John Goodman's character in the Big Lebowski?
-
I'm going to officially nominate John Ratzenberger for the CoC though. He's ready.
-
Danson and Ratzenberger in no way, shape or form qualify. CoC is strictly he-men (and women) kickass. Do not make me repeat this again.
-
He eats homosexuals and Democrats for breakfast and shits their remains on the faces of Environmentalists.
-
That guy needs to stop name-dropping Pixar and get on with his fucking life. Loser. I can't stand those fucking ABC Pixar movie nights where he hosts the cute segments of being a security guard at the Pixar headquarters. Drop dead you prick.

I'm convinced that guy can get whatever women he wants. All his movies are somewhat autobiographical, and the main characters are getting laid constantly

"I don't smoke, I don't drink and I don't swear. Oh shit, I DO smoke and drink!"
"The last time I got blown, candy bars cost a nickel."
"Mommy, am I gonna die?"
Charlie: "Oh, no, baby, no. You're not going to die. They are."
"What I'm saying is, back when we first met, you were all like "Oh phooey, I burned the darn muffins." Now, you go into a bar, ten minutes later, sailors come runnin' out. What up with that?"
"I never did one thing right in my life, you know that? Not one. That takes skill."
"What, are you a Mormon?"
"Yes, I'm a Mormon. That's why I just smoked a pack of Newport and drank three vodka tonics."
"Well, what's wrong with the dog?"
Simple. He's been licking his asshole for the last three straight hours. I submit to you that there is nothing there worth more than an hour's attention. I should think that whatever he is attempting to dislodge is either gone for good, or there to stay. Wouldn't you agree?"
"Die screaming motherfucker."
"Chefs do that."
"What have we learned about the dangers of smoking? Give it here. Thanks. Tell anyone you saw me... I'll blow your fucking head off. "
"And Charlie... you fuck with me, I'll blind the kid and shoot out her knees."
"You're telling me that you're gonna fake some terrorist thing, just to scare some money out of Congress?"
"Well, unfortunately, Mr. Hennessey, I have no idea how to fake killing 4,000 people - so we're just gonna have to do it for real. Blame it on the Muslims, naturally. Then I get my funding."
-
I think I read somewhere that his favorite movie was Seven Samurai too. A classy fellow indeed.

He's not classy. He's a misogynistic, war-monger cocksucker. He is a joke, so its funny to say he is cool because he takes himself so fucking serious.

A Murder She Wrote movie?????? That like nullifies They Live, it's that big an infraction. Agent Cody Banks? Now while he was in Pitch Black and Riddick, he was by no means a bad ass. His nomination can come back to the floor again. I will await the judgment of the council of warciples and submit to the findings...

1. The guy managed to extend his career of fucking barely legal sluts by creating his own brand of vids... North Pole.2. The guys hair hasn't moved since 1990.

Who gives a fuck? This is the guy who got blown on screen by Jennifer Connely and has seemingly constantly red eyes.
-
I think he is worthy of enshrinement. His turn in The Thing was truly great. I do not think he should be penalized for Murder She Wrote, just as Kurt is not penalized for his Disney efforts. I fully support Keith David for enshrinement.

It most certainly does count. Just like what Kurt has done recently ain't the old Kurt. But again, I will submit to the majority on this case.

After the incident, John Wayne Bobbitt attempted to generate money from his notoriety, in a number of ways. He formed a band, "The Severed Parts", to pay his mounting medical and legal bills, though the band was unsuccessful and failed to generate enough money.In 1994, John appeared in the adult film John Wayne Bobbitt: Uncut, in another attempt to make money. In 1996, he appeared in another adult film, Frankenpenis (also known as John Wayne Bobbitt's Frankenpenis).In 1998 he appeared on the World Wrestling Federation's Monday Night Raw program alongside the porn star character Val Venis who had recently almost had his penis cut off.Not long after, he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where he worked as a bartender, limo driver, mover, and tow truck operator. He also had a stint serving as a minister of a Las Vegas church.
After the divorce, John continued to have run-ins with the law. He was reportedly arrested seven times for offenses ranging from assault to grand larceny. In 1994, he was convicted of misdemeanor domestic battery against his former fiancée, Kristina Elliott, and sentenced to 15 days in jail. In September 1999, he was sentenced to five years probation for his role in the theft of more than $140,000 in clothing from a store in Fallon, Nevada, and ordered to pay $5,000 restitution and serve 100 hours of community service.
After two trials for domestic abuse against Joanna Ferrell, his third wife, in 2004 — one ending in conviction for Bobbitt and the other in acquittal — he was arrested for a third offense in September 2005. Days after the third incident, he filed for a divorce. On February 8, 2006, a municipal judge found Bobbitt not guilty, due to insufficient evidence.Er, no. This fuckhead is not a member of the CoC. He is CoCless. -
She emasculated the dude while he was sleeping. Now, if it had come in a no holds barred fight, then I think it could be considered.
-
So no Sisko for me.
-
Angela Lansbury was the original Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd (this is suddenly a continuation of my chopping into bits theme). That should even out things with the tv show, since she was previously a murderer and promoted British cannabalism. Therefore, Keith David should not be penalized for appearing in "Murder She Wrote" but lauded for surviving a more subtle type of monster than The Thing.
-
I agree she disqualified herself. I do support Danny Trejo (which I also thought was a done deal). I have been MIA working on finals. It's over for another semester now. Whew!
-
I may attempt to watch The House Bunny with Mrs. Donor tonight. Not sure Anna Farris parading around in skimpy clothing for 90 minutes is going to be enough to keep me from slitting my throat.

Right back at you HOD. I'm not sure if he's already on or not, but Michael Ironside has to be on this.

How could I ever forget Roy Batty.I just watched Dutch recently. Almost as quotable as a Shane Black movie.

Gotta agree with that one.

....both of those dudes make gnarly faces when they eat pussy.
-
OK...got to ask...Just how many times have you seen Michael Ironside eat pussy and why were you there?
-
As a Duxican born in Canada, we need to have representation from our northern neighbors as well.Danny called it. Rutger Hauer would be brilliant in Bond.
-
Once. Reno. 25th Anniversary after party.
-
As quotable as Long Kiss Goodnight is, I think the most quotable movie of all time may be The Last Boy Scout. I don't think there is one single line of dialogue spoken that isn't a wisecrack.And it has Taylor Negron falling into the blades of a helicopter so how can you go wrong.

How the hell is he going to kick ass anymore if he has a crotch stuck to his face? Only Rutger Hauer can kick ass while blind.

Kristofferson would just grab your arm put it in his mouth and slowly chew until about a day later, he would crap out a packaged stick of jerky with your name on the wrapper.

People can poke fun at him all they want. I'd like to see Matt Damon try to get close. The American Ninja would jump kick him in the throat from ten feet away.

though Terry was the stepfather, that counts for something right? But until you have seen him hunting boar and blowing up subs, forgeddaboutit.

Wesley "Wes" Studi (born December 17, 1947) is a U.S. actor of Native American descent.
Born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, Studi was schooled at Chilocco Indian Boarding School in Northern Oklahoma. Until he attended grade school, he spoke only Cherokee. In 1967, he was drafted into the Army and served 18 months in Vietnam. After his discharge, Studi studied at Tulsa Junior College.
Studi won a Western Heritage Award (shared with cast and crew) in 1994 for Geronimo: An American Legend[1]
He is best known for his roles as both brave and vicious Indians, such as the Pawnee warrior in Dances with Wolves and Magua in The Last of the Mohicans (1992). A year later, he was casted with Eric Schweig again for TNT's telefilm The Broken Chain which was shot in Virginia. In 2002, Studi brought to life the legendary Tony Hillerman character Lt. Joe Leaphorn, for a series of PBS movies produced by Robert Redford.
In 2005, he portrayed a character inspired by the Powhatan warrior Opechancanough in The New World, a 2005 Academy Award-nominated film directed by Terrence Malick, and starring Colin Farrell. The historical adventure is set during the founding of the Jamestown, Virginia settlement and includes other characters inspired by historical figures, notably Captain John Smith (Farrell) and Pocahontas. Much of the film was shot at locations in James City County and Charles City County, not far from where the first permanent English colony in the New World was established at Jamestown beginning on May 14, 1607.
In addition to acting, Studi is a stone carver, an author of two children's books, and plays bass in a local band. Oh and he played The Sphinx in Mystery Man and he's in Avatar. He has to be in or this list is meaningless.

if everyone was instantly a pilot or a Seal....

....and Keith David was narrating. A lot more people would sign up.
-
Whoa! if memory serves, she did nude scene in that one, and she was smokin! It has been a while, that may not be the right movie, but I do recall the scene1
-
Jennifer Connelly might not be as voluptuous as she once was, but I'd kick Paul Bettany out of a speeding car just to chili dog those surgically reduced breasts. I think she still looks fine.
-
And oddly enough I totally remember "Broken Chain" the TNT movie. It was fucking awesome. I used to have it on VHS.
-
At the very least I remember Virginia Madsen doing full frontal and then getting banged by Don Johnson.
-
Is that the deal? Surgically reduced breasts? Awwww fuck. What the hell? Why would she choose to look like an AIDS ravaged Liza Minelli?
-
...just based on the ridiculous amount of poon that asshole got in the 80s. He was like a little bear covered in honey, with cute little pussy bees fluttering about.
-
Hellboy. Blade 2. Beauty and the Beast(he perfected that namby pamby gothic loner crap long before Twilight and while looking like something people wouldn't even take from the pound for free), Name of the Rose, and he's about to be Elvis. Perlman, one of the few who can stand in the face of outrageous schlock and retain his dignity.
-
I want him in today damnit.
-
he was kind of a wuss onscreen wasnt he?
-
Don Johnson was tough as hell in Miami Vice.
-
Damn, she was fearless when she was younger and still smokin! I need to re-watch that flick.
-
but in everything prior to 99, sheer awesomeness. The figure, the overbite, the whole deal. If you ever needed someone for a 30s/40 period thing, Connolly was your gal. But she, coupled with a potentially cool new Gort, is the reason I'll see Day the Earth Stood Still. That and my dad wants to see it.
-
I'll give you that. I guess I shouldnt hold Nash Bridges against him.
-
You might as well induct Tom Selleck too - and before you grouse, i loved Magnum P.I, but neither belong in the hall!
-
Dec 02, 2008 3:49:09 PM CST
I don't find her attractive at all anymore....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...she looks fucked up. Like there is something seriously wrong with her. I don't need that drama with the drug problems man. That ain't cool.
-
How about Maria Conchita Alonso? The chick from Predator 2.
-
Seriously....how much more manly does it again? He's got the swagger, the muscle, the bulge, the mustache. What the fuck?
-
what about one-off awesomeness? An actor who was mega-awesome, but for whatever reason, was ever that way once? Either just the right role, or actor died before being able to do more?
-
I guess she was having back issues lugging around a melon patch. I can't blame her. But she should have had some class and held a contest where one lucky contestant got to have one last go at those funbags.
-
that was a joke right danny?
-
Dec 02, 2008 3:52:51 PM CST
shit...I forgot about Career Opportunities....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...remember Jennifer in that? Fuck.
-
...but she looks unhealthy. Somethings fucked up with her. I saw her on Letterman about a year ago and her arms were nasty thin and she was pale and clammy looking with giant bags under her eyes. Even in the films post Requiem, her skin tone is different. She looks like she is dying.
-
and Mulholland Falls. Both of those were pre-waif.
-
she sort of looks like Demi Moore these days, or it's just this pic:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm64656640/nm0000124 -
Should be on the table.
-
Isn't Jimmy Caan a little too famous? I thought it was more obscure. But Caan is like putting DeNiro on it.
-
Last I heard they had two projects coming up. Some post-apocalyptic thing.
-

Thanks, Kloipy!

Mako was da bomb. Did you ever get to meet him?
-
Was Jonathan Frid. He is still absolute cool, but sadly not qualified for CoC status.
-
Is in! Why are we even having this question again? He was in The Thing. Punch up with Rowdy in They Live. Put the fuckin glasses on - he's in.If he got rejected, you know what he'd say?"It's a crock of shit..."
-
Is absolutely in. I support that one, unequivocally.
-
Surely... Make it happen.
-
... t-shirts. CoC t-shirts.
-
Hi, Wolf. Wuzzup?
-
But if you support the nod, Wolf, that's good enough for me.
-
Long time no see.
-
you really think I didn't know all that about John Milius? Oh yeah, and I actually think Chuck Norris is the strongest man alive. (sarcasm) Believe me, I got the joke. Calling him classy was another one. Although anybody who likes Seven Samurai must have at least a little taste.
-
The holiday is over, the weekend is over (I work double hours on weekends), finals are over, the semester is over. My life has improved dramatically in just a few days. How's by you?
-
was in Last Of The Mohicans. Also, Heat. And Mystery Men.So, bad guy, good guy, comedy guy... That's called 'range' that is. He. Is. In.
-
Are you guys quarreling again? Déja vu!
-
John Milius is not actually a hero, just like I do not actually long for the exotic, gracy covered loins of a certain Miss Paula Dean.Or do I?
-
Work. Work. Work. And it's freezing cold. Getting up for work, in the dark, in the freezing cold. Gotta be more to life than this.
-
Guess I just didn't know him. I have that on a dvd somewhere. I'll have to give it a look.
-
And he has a great name too!
-
I see her face plastered on magazine covers almost every day and I can't get that image out of my head now. It's very disturbing and kind of icky.
-
I hear ya. I do the same thing. I also have to come home in the freezing dark. I miss summer.
-
How's it hanging? (ha ha) Good to see you! The night shift is really in the swing now guys.
-
Never heard of him. I know Pearl & Dean though.
-
Is there a whole lotta shakin' goin' on in that jar?
-
Hi. Alas, Fred unable to hang!
-
About the Paula Dean stuff. You do not want that in your head if you have managed to escape it so far.
-
Always have, always will.
-
Wes Studi is basically the go-to Native American guy.If you have seen a movie about Indians, chances are he was playing the tough Indian guy. He was in Geronimo, Dances with Wolves, The Last of the Mohicans, Broken Link, Into the West, and The New World. But as well as that he's had cool roles in movies like Heat and Mystery Men, plus he's going to be in Avatar. He is absolutely essential to any list of badasses.
-
Hee hee.
Fred tries to keep the jar from shaking too much. -
... of the Paula Dean discussion, I followed it with great intrigue. However, it went straight over my head.As most things do - before anybody else says it...
-
This guy. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w255/djnoctrne/indian/wes.jpg
-
I have to have seen him then. I just googled his picture and I do recognize him. I am completely for his nomination. He has my vote.
-
There were some very good names brought up. Therewolf, Mavra Chnag is correct - as always, leave Paula Dean be. It will cause you to howl!
-
No kidding? That's top news!
-
I usually find Danny's fantasy posts amusing, as I did with that one at first, but having to look at her face every day at work (the store is promoting her newest holiday book)just keeps that running through my head. Being a girl, I do not want or need certain images stuck in my head like a bad song. I repeat....icky!
-
You could sell CoC tee's on your website! Put a different CoC Icon on each one!
-
Mmmmmm hmmmm...
-
Do you think the Busted Tees people would expand their line to include CoC icons? I know there was another online T Shirt place that had Kurt, Bruce, etc. on them, but I can't remember the company name. They had a lot of horror movie shirts.
-
Dec 02, 2008 5:54:11 PM CST
Fred thinks there should be classifications of CoC Icons
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Perhaps the top level is called The Pantheon. Kurt,Burt,Bruce, Tony Jaa and Fred sure he is mossing some others. Then the next level, are hall of famers
-
To make a movie. Well, if Fincher doesn't want to do it - I'd be looking to put Rendezvous With Rama up there on the big screen. In fact, a two-picture deal, film the first two books back-to-back. Or maybe try to combine those two into one giant epic...I thought the other sequels were toss. I'm not filming those.
-
They do seem to have taken the idea of the bottomless busted tees to mind.
-
Dec 02, 2008 5:56:14 PM CST
Xiphos used a Kurt tee for his avatar on Z dive
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Perhaps something like that, albeit a bit more stylized, and thus not have to owe any licensing fees! Hee hee
-
John Milius is not actually a hero, just like I do not actually long for the exotic, gravy covered loins of a certain Miss Paula Dean.Or do I?
-
Very cool shirts there.
-
Definite icon potential there.
-
Mako should definitley be a hall of famer
-
Re: Southland Tales.I wouldn't put anybody off watching a movie completely... unless someone was thinking of seeing AvP:R. That fucker is abominable.So, I would say have a look. But there have been rumblings of an even extended-er cut on DVD next year! Wait for that one, it may make more sense...
-
anybody who says the X men movies are trying to be all serious just doesn't know what they're talking about. A movie isn't justified for being stupid if it's self-aware.I second Mako for the list. His narration in Conan is perfect.
-
I always loved that guy, especially as Magua, but never bothered to know his name until now. That one image from LotM of him holding that general's heart was my background on my computer for awhile back in high school.

He has been on it for longer than I've been around here, just like the Brim. They are often mentioned as a team.
-
My brother-in-law solved my yahoo voice problem. Seems that voice and video are separate functions on yahoo, although they will work in tandem. One has to make a pc-to-pc call to enable voice. I felt really dumb because I had seen the phone icon on there but thought it was only to call a person's phone from the computer.
-
Dec 02, 2008 6:22:50 PM CST
Fred is glad that your brother-in-law is smarter than Fred!
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Fred could not figure it out. Have not seen My name is Bruce yet, plan to.
-
It just wouldn't feel right without him I think.
-
people that I asked that question to. No one knew the answer. I have a suspicion that he cheated and asked his brother (who works for a computer company) because he didn't know the first time I asked him either.
-
The list of manly men is never ending!

-
All should be included without question.

Just for being so damn good lookin.

We just seem to have had some time changes mixing things up a bit. Things will settle back down. It's already improved since the elections ended.

No question.

Don't forget Fred Williamson and Jim Brown
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Ok, maybe Fred is stretching things with fred Williamson because he has a great name, but Jim Brown is legit.
-
Looks will not qualify anyone for automatic admission.
-
Alain Delon was in Le Samourai, which is probably one of the coolest French films ever, let alone the very defnition of good noir (although there are numerous other great noir movies of course).Actually, you can probably just check out any of the stuff he was in directed by Jean-Pierre Melville to see how cool he is.
-
Or just noticably cooler than most other actors? Because if it's the latter, then I think Delon qualifies.
-
You've just got to give more reason than appearance. It's only fair.
-
Fred plans to see Punisher this weekend
-
You'd have to get the guidelines from JPT or one of the others to make it official. I was a late straggler into the whole discussion anyhow.
-
I nominate Val Kilmer. If you ignore the Batman movie and look at cool stuff like Tombstone, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and Willow (which let me remind you gives him the great privilege of having acted with the Warwick)then the guy has been in some first class entertainment.
-
I saw Bolt, Bruce, and half of The Changeling (which I'm going to finish tonight). it's a diverse set, but I've liked all of them. Zack and Miri has been highly recommended to me, but I haven't gotten to that one yet.
-
I saw the new James Bond on Friday, and Synecdoche, New York last Wednesday, which now beats the Fall as my favorite movie so far this year.
-
His Doc Holiday is one of my all-time favorite characters and one that I quote regularly.
-
If you were as much of man as I truly hope you are-- than you would indeed long for Mizzzz Paula Dean's luscious loins. She could spoon feed me asparagus with extra hollandaise. A little drip off her chin. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
-
Salton Sea-- amazing performance. Kiss Kiss, Willow....lotta good stuff in his career. I even like his faggot gun.
-
And I hear it gives you gas. Sexy kinda!
-
HOW ARE YOU?
-
Now I can look at her pictures and think "Gassy!". Much better!
-
I really thought I was the only one in the world who loved Val Kilmer that much. Him, Bill Murray, and Lee Marvin are probably my three favorite American actors. Still, Toshiro Mifune tops them all.
-
Did I tell you I got tickets for MY NAME IS BRUCE out here in L.A. on December 20th. He's doing a Q and A after.
-
Fred is happy to see you!
-
...thats funny. The other day people were trashing Bill as being overrated. I think he's a fucking genius in whatever you tries to do. I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan, and Life Aquatic is gold.
-
I think if I ever get married, I'll say that instead of "I do." Of course I'll wait until the actual moment to tell anyone I'm doing it.
-
...did you have a rockin' holiday?
-
You guys are lucky. He's not going to be in this area. Btw, Danny, did you see the T Shirt posts? Rotton Cotton has picked up on the idea that you and Herb West had going about bottomless models. Don't miss out or yo'll be kicking yourself later.
-
For those of us who can't be there. Bruce is da man!
-
But all is better now. Fred like Bill Murray. Fred thinks Osmosis Jones is very underappreciated too
-
it really surprises me sometimes that we ever argue. Especially when you say stuff like you just did about Bill Murray, which we are in total agreement about. I usually have trouble deciding which Anderson movie is my favorite (it's a close one between Life Aquatic, Royal Tanenbaums, and Rushmore) but I usually just go with Life Aquatic because it has the most Murray, and the scene where he takes out all those pirates with a Glock while still wearing his bath robe is supremely badass.
-
What? What TB is that in? Some fucker is trying to jock me and Herb's campaign? Fuck that. If the panties are gonna fly, its gonna be in my living room!
-
Rotton Cotton sells shirts, etc.
http://www.rottencotton.com/shirts/exclusives/exclusives.htm -
But it is a close thing. Herb doesn't know yet either.
-
Yes sir, the check's in the mail.
-
I know. It is funny. We can be on the same page with some stuff and mortal foes with other things. But yes...Wes Anderson is a God and he deserves more respect. He makes films that no one else on the planet could make. He has a unique eye and a very personal world he has created. I can't think of another mainstream filmmaker outside of maybe Michel Gondry that has such a creative eye. And above all that, he is a fantastic writer and he knows how to cast. I think I would go with Aquatic as my favorite film. There are those tender moments that really touch me. Like when Owen asks about Bill's ex-wife and he says "She didn't really love me," or when Cate says "In 12 years he'll be 11 and a half" and Bill responds "That was my favorite age" with tears in his eyes. I love that longing for the magic of childhood Wes is able to capture. That is the common trait in almost all his characters. They miss their childhood, because almost all of us would agree those were magical times.
-
Aquatic is not my favorite film of all time, I meant its my favorite Wes film. It is in my Top 15.
-

Fred has to sign off for a few hours, may be back later
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Everyone have a great evening!
-
And I will never give you a website like this again if I can help it:
http://tinyurl.com/6l9pph
-
Have a good night. Say hi to Dirk for me!
-
and especially about Michel Gondry. But Anderson's casting is consistently top notch.
-
I like that shirt. But the girls kinda scare me. They look a little too angry for my taste. I prefer the sweet motherly types....mmmmmm Paula Dean. I'll give you some stuffing you nasty girl.
-
what does everybody think of Ghostbusters 2?My girlfriend got me both movies for Christmas (I still think part one is hilarious) but I can't remember much of two except that I thought the bad guy was pretty dumb.
-
Just swiped it right out from under you guys. Cameltoes much? Eeeewww!
-
I liked the first one though.
-
Kind of scary.
-
I'm scheduling a lobotomy asap to remove some of these images from my noggin. Have a good night guys.
-
I'm in the minority though. But it was more packed with ghostly creatures and action. The whole subway tunnel sequence is awesome. Part one is a little slow for me now. And I like the guys a little more aged and washed up. And Bill's cheesy psychic t.v. show. I like all the details of them moving on with their lives-- Sigourney having a kid from someone else and Bill bonding with the kid. Louis and Janine baby-sitting.
-
I have loads of shit to do for school though so I should probably get started. I will definitely be back in a few hours, maybe with more suggestions for The List in tow.
-
I was gonna mention him earlier when I asked about Ghostbusters. I don't know though. I basically know him from the movies and that's it.
-
Sigourney Weaver's boss in the movie is incredibly fucking annoying.
-
I would say Bruce Lee too, but I think that's pretty obvious.
-
Is probably my favorite actor period -->. <--Right there.
-
Fucking miss out on all the good convo.
-
We agree on some things. A) Inland Empire sucks something fierce. I remember going on IMDB afterward to see what other people though and everyone there was fucking gagging on Lynch's ball sac. I got in a argument with this boner about how it was not physically possible to have watched the movie 5 times in a row like he claimed to do (and no it wasn't Harry). It took my more then 5 hours to watch that crap (I couldn't believe I gave it that much effort) I just kept falling asleep, sooo terrible. It was just a nothing movie. B) Reign of Fire sucks bad. C)That Gambit pick is bad. I've yet to see Wild At Heart its on the DVR list.
-
Tim CurryANDRick Moranis.
-
Didn't care for it. Truman Show I thought it was brilliant. Amazing movie. Masterbater and Commander even better, the only Russel Crowe movie that I actually think he deserved any recognition for. Weir does need to work more. Truman Show is probably Carry's best performance, followed by Sunshine. There is a haunting feeling to Truman Show its so weird and eerie.
-
Wes. Man the first movie I saw of his, Rushmore, the first time I saw it... i didn't get it. I kind of hated it. Saw the Royale movie and (I say is his best) and really really like that movie. If that movie comes on I always have to watch it. Rewatched Rushmore and liked it a lot more, really enjoyed Bottle Rocket. First viewing of Lift Aqautic and I didn't like it, but I've seen it a couple more times and I've enjoyed it more and more, still not as much as Royale. NOW that Limited movie, no, fucking awful. Boring as shit, not funny too 'Wes' and even more boring. The only part i liked was the scene with Bill Murray (probably because I had just seen him in person). I tried to watch Limited again, thinking I was just tired, no couldn't do it turned it off.
-
I'm a huge Life Aquatic fan, I think it's his best and funniest film. Having Noah write with him helped a lot I did enjoy Limited, but I can't see many repeat viewings of it.
-
I swear by the hand of Allah is just too much like fucking Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance. Go fucking watch Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance and then go watch TDK and you will be fucking asking yourself, WHERE THE HELL IS JOHN McCLANE? I really REALLY liked TDK, but Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance will always be my favorite action movie (or top five). On a side note, is it true that Bruce didn't really like Die Hard 2: Die Harder or Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance? Did he really think Die Hard 4.0: Live Free Or Die Hard was the "TRUE" sequel to Die Hard? Or was that just a bunch of crap to hype up the movie? Also I may be on a boat by myself as being the only person who enjoyed the hell out of Die Hard 4.0: Live Free or Die Hard. Best movie with a scene involving a semi-truck of 2007!
-
I must again remind all of the upcoming Ong Bak 2
-
THATS RIGHT! That's Wes next movie! How cool is that? Between him doing that and Spike doing Where the Wild Things Are and Fincher doing his book adaptation, old books are the new Harry Potter! Wild Things and Fox are going to be very interesting.
-
not the best of the series, but it was fun
-
Squid and the Whale. I didn't really get the whole point behind the little kid and putting his Seamen everywhere. Anyone care to explain?
-
i don't think it had much of a point. Just that he was new to the experience, and was using it as a way to get attention, or just confused about sexuality based on what he learned from his fucked up parents
-
Hope a board the S.S. Live Free.
-
I have not forgotten at all. Is there a definite U.S. release date yet?
-
I just want to make sure that it doesn't get lost amongst the other films of the year
-
is Thomas Jane lite character Two Face. Plus the uglier of the Gyllenhaal brothers was just fucking horrible in the movie. Another reason Die Hard 3 kicked so much ass, no fucking lame love story. Why do they always have to throw in a love story with Batman???? I don't recall much of a love story with the comics? Its like the studios have to a fucking Lois Lane. Yeah you could talk about the Gary Oldman character's family being affected, but they don't really do much besides the final scene.
-
just through and through a perfect film
-
I'm pretty sure of that at least. Tom Yum Goong was released at a weird time of the year when it came stateside. I feel like Ong Bak 2 will be the same.
-
hopefully this one doesn't get butchered into another Weinstink crapterpiece. yeah I went there
-
but those Dragon Dynasty DVDs are pretty sweet if you ask me. At least they got one thing right by releasing the DVD with the original Thai version.
-
they lost a lot of the movie and just didn't do it justice in it's original form. Martial Arts films aren't really huge in this country, but it doesn't give them the right to go and screw with someone's film just to sell a few tickets. Tony Jaa is amazing on his own, his FLK's show all
-
is sounding better and better. People keep busting a nut over some AVATAR bullshit that doesn't even have any screen shots yet, but I am definitely looking forward to Spike's next movie a hell of a lot more.
-
the mood in just one still of Max on the beach gives me so much confidence in the beauty that will be found in that film
-
even if it's just DVD. It should be law for Donnie Yen to release at least one martial arts movie a year. Well actually, I guess that's how shit like Dragon Tiger Gate gets released.
-
Don't you just expect it to turn around and its Sweetums!!!!!
-
I just randomly came across this cool web site with some cool drawings of Muppets and other things. Check it out. http://tinyurl.com/66twbj
-
which picture of Max are you talking about. Can you send a link?
-
A lot of awesome fan art on that page.
-
I was so pissed off when I bought the US version of the first one. Awesome steelbook case, but the movie has the goddamn redone bullshit hiphop-py soundtrack, and the subtitles are 'for the hearing impaired' subtitles that, on top of the dialogue, describes the sound effects and tells you music is playing. What a shitty package, it didnt even have the english language track, but I didnt mind that since I always watch original language tracks.
-
Bill Murrays best performance was in Quick Change, followed by a tie of GB 1 and Caddyshack. I didn't care for Lost in Translation which I find surprising because generally enjoy those kinds of movies.Shawshank, soild but not great. Brooks shipping himself over was gut wrenching.GB 2, I like it, just not as much as the first, but I can see how some people would like it more then the first movie. The tonally there was a major shift between the movies.I'd way in on the endless Batman debate but I have not seen the second installment of the series. I thought the first one was underwhelming to say the very least.Those Rotten Cotton girls, after looking at that those pictures I need a shot of penicillian.
-
I got another question. Favorite song in a trailer? My top three are: 1) Switchback by Celldweller, its in pretty much ever action movie trailer. 2) Apocalypse Please by Muse from 30 Days of Night and many other trailers 3) The song from the Walk Hard TV Spot called Badlands by Immediate Music. Runners up: Wonderlust King, which is getting over used Mansell style. Nights of Cydonia by Muse which would be number 1 because its one of the best songs ever, but its terribly miss used in trailers. It would make an awesome song for an epic battle.
-
mostly it doesn't register that much for me.
-
Man Who Knew Too Little. Though Broken Flowers and Osmosis Jones gotta be up there. My favorite Murray roles are Little Shop, Wild Things, Kigpin and Ed Wood. My fav starring role Scrooged. Haven't ever heard of Quick Change. I wanna see it now. Has anyone seen Murray's Hunter S. Thompson movie, Where the Buffalo Roam? Is it worth seeing?
-
I've seen where the buffalo Roam, its an interesting failure of a movie. If you've seen the sublime Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Where the Buffalo Roam lacks in comparison. I'd still recommend it as a movie to check out someday, if only to be a completist of Hunter S. Thompson movies.I think Where the Buffalo Roams suffers is in the material. FALIV was Hunters best and strongest writing, by far, so it translated well across mediums. Depp nailed Hunter perfectly and the direction was supurb. It was a perfect storm of an adaptation.
-
fuking piece of crap movie, I hated it. Most of Murray's 90s movies are really bad, except Groudhog Day which is just a great, funny comedy. Havent seen any of his recent output tho, I was never a big fan of his.
Knights of Cydonia is indeed an awesome song, but I dont want it used in a movie, the real music video that goes with it is too good already, maybe they should make a movie of that video instead. And I thought the best trailer use of Apocalypse Please was for Danny the Dog, the piano build up worked so great with it. -
The basics of the story is this. Bill Murray, Geena Davis and Randy quid rob a bank. Then can't get off the island of Manhattan. Hiliarity ensues but pathos is present and an underlying sense of sadness runs through the movie like a bass line. Still, its a very funny movie.
-
Nor proof read apparently. Spelling is out of the question, obviously.
-
I won't be for long but I thought I'd stop back by.
-
Those girls do look to have more than cotton rotton on them, don't they? I posted my version of a review of "My Name is Bruce" and that ghost/possession story I've been working on for so long on the mymavra site, if anyone wants to look. I'll probably put the story on the z site tomorrow, but I'm too tired right now.
-
where to begin..... Having heard the lavish praise on here for it, I actually watched it on telly last night and have confirmed that it is a festering abortion of a movie on a par with such atrocities as Blade 3. Fuck me what a load of shite- and talk about taking your material too seriously. Pompous, dull, shoddy, that ending is dreadful and confusing, Hulk dogs are lame, Bana was wooden, po faced dreck. All the things Frank and Hawaiin aim at TDK, I aim at that abomination.
-
Mr. Z is English and unlucky enough to be stuck there. I'm organising a hostage swap for Frank if he keeps this nonsense up. I have a new bear. He's pedigree and thus somewhat moody. At the moment, he's refusing to eat goths (which may be better for his long term health), but will happily eat Stockbrokers.
-
Course he does "I know it's pretty, but I didn't get it out for air" He's mentioned several times in the holy scriptures.
-
Agreed, there's something worse then rotton on those cotton bottom girls.
-
Right where I am is more than close enough.And we'll see whether I keep up the nonsense after next week, when I check out The Dark Knight again and learn whether A) I'm right and everyone else is crazy, or B) I've made a huge mistake.
-
As changian scribe, I have to tell you that it will be over my cold dead corpse before that wife beating rapist cockbag gets on the list. I don't care that he went on to be Frankenpenis. He still beat his 100 pounds lighter wife. Not happening. Just to absolutely clear. Not fucking happening. Trejo gets a nod for desperado and is very badass indeed.
-
Keith was in trouble before requiem. Murder she wrote is the blue rinsed antithesis of changian creed.
-
and then it's across the severn bridge to sheep shagging land with you. I may spend a few days stapling cotton wool all over you first to make sure you get good and cornholed on arrival.
-
Absolutely not. One word: Friends.
-
3 men and a baby What the fuck happened? I had some work to do, and I find all these terrible nominations. I'm just going to collect all the nominations and yes and no them in the next post. I'll give the reasons why.
-
Since when is rape and abuse something to be championed? Whose idea was that?
-
Warwick Davis- Yes. Holy dwarf of death. Credits include Leprechaun, multiple star wars stuff.
Tom Selleck- No. Friends, shaved stache off in friends (big changian no-no), 3 men and a baby, and the bigger crime 3 men and a little lady. Turned down Indiana Jones.
Bobbit- FUCK NO
Tim Curry- No. Transsexual in Rocky Horror. Beaten up by Macualy Culkin
Rick Moranis- Maybe. Borderline. Ghostbusters and Little Shop of Horrors on one side, Splitting Heirs and that horrid Honey I shrunk the kids crap on the other.
Kilmer- NO NO NO.
Lee Marvin- Yes, obviously.
Bill Murray- Hell no. Ghostbusters in the + but there’s just too much unfunny shit to let him past. I remember reading somewhere that he’s an asshole that takes himself too seriously, and wasn’t it him that was blocking Ghostbusters 3. Not to mention that I hate Lost in Translation
Danny Trejo- Yes.
Ernie Hudson- Yes.
The criteria are fairly abritrary and depend entirely upon the person nominated. Some are obvious- Blessed, Marvin, Bronson, McQueen etc. But if they're a lesser actor in some cheesily enjoyabe crap then they stand a chance. Hence Keith gets double points for They Live and The Thing. Danny Trejo has been in so much basically as just a bad ass that he has to be in. Go with your gut when you make the nomination- if you look inside yourself and feel that they deserve to have their name carved on the shithouse door in Walter Chang's holy convenience store in Perfection. d throw myself to a graboid before either Selleck or John Wayne redneck mail order bride raping got cock cut off fucktard made the list. -
Dec 03, 2008 3:44:11 AM CST
I think I'm guilty of inciting the Bobbit nom...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
By nominating Peter North. Someone went with the pornstar angle.
-
Dec 03, 2008 3:46:15 AM CST
I'd expect Newman to be in there...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
and John Belushi.
-
There are a few things that are a big fucking no-no. Starring in something with Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton. Getting your cock cut off while asleep for being such a shit bag. HAving Mail order bride to begin with. Fred did admittedly get divorced, because Reba took the end of the cold war badly, but they STILL stocked up on massive amounts of ammo, and killed a graboid with an Elephant gun. These things are important.
-
Dec 03, 2008 3:47:49 AM CST
Moranis also has Dark Helmet on his side...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I can't breathe in this thing!
-
Cool Hand Luke. 50 boiled eggs in an hour. Beushi- 3 feet lines of coke. James Belushi? borderline towards no.
-
I'm going to go and check his CV and then make a call.
-
Pros: Streets of Fire, Ghostbusters, Spaceballs, LSOHCons: Honey films, Big Bully, My Blue Heaven. Overall, he's a no- the deciding factor is: Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids. Unacceptable.
-
No because if the sitcom.
-
Since when? Why doesn't anybody tell me stuff.
-
until the end of time. I think many would agree.But I need to go to bed now, so it will have to wait until tomorrow.Just don't forget, Tim Curry was one badass Lord of Darkness in LEGEND.
-
Yes, his post 1990 crimes to celluloid must rule him out. The same goes for Eddie Murphy. If this list was made in 1990 he'd be on there, now there is no way.
-
It was pretty funny.
-
I have two more i would like to nominate tonight.First, Michael Caine. If you have seen Get Carter you will understand. The guy is in plenty of other cool stuff to justify it as well.Second, Kermit the Frog. It's Kermit the Frog. 'Nuff said.
-
There is a case to be made for Kilmer. Tim Curry? No.
-
I don't know why I didn't think of this one earlier. Is Carl Weathers on there?And I'm sure Michael Biehn is. He's just got to be.
-
not totally unfunny. Arguably last time Steve Martin was funny. However, Rick Moranis plays a beurocrat that dresses badly and dances the lambada. This is not changian. Mail order brides- depends upon your motivation for getting one, and what happens when she arrives. If you get robbed of everything and she runs off with her new passport then that stacks the chances. If you rape her, keep her prisoner, and beat her until she cuts your cock off then that stacks your chances.
-
Tim Curry just has too much crap on his CV. Was made to look like a cunt in a home alone film, and worse: Appeared in Scary Movie 2.
-
and I guess Moranis. But I say Kilmer should still say. We all said why above.
-
All sorts of stuff. He's a good nomination. "You're a big man, but you're out of shape; for me it's a full time profession". Bad-fucking-ass
-
I'm grimacing just thinking about that awful shit heap of a movie. I yield.
-
Haven't seen it for at least 15 years, but remember enjoying it. And Jarv, I will argue that Bowfinger is absolute genius, which was the last time Steve Martin was funny.
-
Michael Caine is the British Lee Marvin for me. Cheers.
-
but.... The Saint (worst Bond knock off ever), Batman Forever- (no you can't forget it), THe Real McCoy, Knight Rider remake (all you american geeks seem to hate that), ALexander, He's more miss than hit, and his hits aren't necessarily changian. I like him as an actor, but he ain't changian. Same as Bill Murray. For example, nobody in their right mind could consider Fred Ward to be a top actor. That's just silly. But he makes the list. There's plenty of examples of this. Maybe if Val undertook a holy quest to steal a bucket of fried chicken off THE BATES and made it back unchomped then he'd be fine
-
his 80s stuff really is great, but the 90s were a damn shame for him
-
Pros: Die Hard & Witness. Drinking himself to death.Cons: Ballet dancer.
-
but would qualify that with the trainspotting quote: "A blip on an otherwise downward spiral of shite"
-
She's russian and wants to get back to her dual career field of brain surgery and electrical engineering. She has in no way, shape or form work as a hooker in Moscow nor is she owned by any gangsters. Did I tell you she looks like a supermodel? I've seen her verified online profile. If it's on the web it has to be true.
-
so Benicio Del Toro probably wouldn't qualify then?
-
Does she also have the formula for cold fusion?
-
That one with Alicia Silverston should automatically void his eligibility.
-
I was going to mention it before I got sidetracked with posts about Russians hookers...er, mail order brides.
-
good night guys
-
She's researching that and gas scams, insurance frauds and selling fake Versaci shirts.
-
so can excuse himself for a lot of stuff.
-
Tommy Lee Jones or Billy Bob Thornton? Do they qualify?
-
That Silvestone thing is an automatic disqualification. Cary Elwes is one for discussion.
-
Billy bob? Open to persuasion on it.
-
Pros: Angelina Jolie, Tombstone, Sling Blade, Dead Man, U Turn, A Simple Plan, Bad Santa.Cons: Armageddon, School for Scoundrels, Mr Woodcock, Eagle Eye.
-
Bad Santa - the official film of the Marmoset Christmas season - is reason enough.Plus, all the reasons droid gave above. And One False Move, which he also wrote.
-
1. Michael Wincott2. Michael Ironside3. Hunter S. Thompson
-
And The Man Who Wasn't There.
-
Hunter S. Thompson. Yes- insanity and playing with cannons whilst stoned.Wincott- HELL YES. Just for the crow. Anyone insane enough to inhale the vapours off a singed eyeball is a yes.
-
boning Angelina is not necessarily a plus. Don't forget that Johnny Lee Miller did that and he doesn't get within fucking miles of the list.
-
I was going to put Jolie on both the Pros and the Cons, but considering he was about 20 years older than her I considered it worthy of a solitary Pro.
-
I'm too lazy to check but is Wes Studi in or not?
-
Full Metal Jacket is a ticket in.
-
I haven't seen the film in ages. Maybe I'll check it out again, see if it holds up.Man, has any actor ever so completely wasted as Wincott in Alien 4? He could have been cool as fuck as some kind of Alien battling badass, but instead we got Winona Ryder moaning about her robo-emotional problems.
-
and we haven't got enough injuns. Except that dude out of predator (Sonny Landham)who gets in for the same reason that Dutton gets in- anyone mad enough to take on an Ailen killing machine mano-e-mano must be in.
-
He took on Predator. And I guess that means Bill Paxton is out.
-
How about Bill Pullman?
-
The only things going for him are Igby Goes Down and Zero Effect.He was in Independence Day remember!
-
And Paxton gets in for Aliens, Near Dark and others. Although crying like a little bitch in Predator is not good. Pullman has a long way to go to make up for shite like WHile you were sleeping and I think he was also in Friends.
-
two second scene as a punk in Terminator. And Frailty.
-
Tom Selleck was great on Friends, though.Remember the one where Chandler tried to grow a mustache? Funny stuff.Don't pretend you don't like Friends, Jarv.
-
see the thing is, Kurt has more than enough points in the bank to make up for some horrible missteps (crying in Death Proof. Fuck you Tarantino. That's our Kurt).
Kurt forever gets a bye for Macready, Snake, Jack Burton, Cash, The best Wyatt Earp (Fuck you Costner), Backdraft (while not a good film- he was a fireman called Bull)etc so can be forgiven for Deathproof, Overboard, Sky High and that Disney shit. There is no more badass than Snake/ Jack Burton. -
Bill Paxton is funny as hell in that film."But first, I'd like to butter your muffin!"
-
Also, he was a better Elvis than Elvis, and he was great in Dark Blue, a much under-rated film. Breakdown is also good.Man, what a great actor. Why has he not won nine Oscars? I don't get it.Plus, Captain Ron. Come on, let's hear the love for Captain Ron!
-
The title of one of the shows that got me smiling: Graboid Rights.
-
it's being a big crying bitch, shaving your moustache off, faking neurosis to keep lunatic girlfriend happy, and generally being a fuckmonkey that disqualifies you. I thought Pullman was also a guest star.
-
Like Marva said, he gave us Doc.I'm your huckleberry.There, now we can be friends.You're not wearing a bustle.It's not revenge he seeks, but a reckoning.
-
Mrs. Jarv remains sceptical about the majesty of tremors.
-
Pullman was in that film, and there was a very similar story on an episode of Friends where Monica and Phoebe squabbled over some guy in a coma who was insipid but not Bill Pullman.Why do I know so much about Friends? Because I will watch any old garbage as long as it makes me laugh. Plus, Jennifer Aniston.
-
hehehehehe
-
holy scriptures.
-
and then tell you why him in friends is unacceptable. Lithgow is another borderline, sure he's had his badassness, but there's the years and years of 3rd Rock to the sun to consider.
-
how do i no know about this?
-
fuckers/
-
but he's not changian either. Fucking Pullman has made some horrid shit- Sleepless in Seattle etc. Cuntbag needs feeding to a graboid. The only thing saving him is The Last Seduction. Which was Excellent.
-
I don't think he actually lands a punch in Big Trouble... It's Wang Chi who does all the ass kicking. And that is why it's so good. Probably my favorite Carpenter.
-
But he spends most of the film talking smack before getting his ass kicked- "It's all in the reflexes"
-
And The Last Seduction is a great film. I also liked Pullman in Zero Effect, which I think someone has already mentioned.By and large, he is on the bland side, though.
-
Lithgow was the supreme badass in Cliffhanger and Ricochet, but he did how many seasons of 3rd Rock?And although I thought Pullman was insanely good in Zero Effect and ID4 is a guilty pleasure, his CV is mostly a trainwreck.I like the R. Lee Ermey mention above. Between Full Metal Jacket, The Frighteners and Seven, he's a superb actor considering he had no formal training.Ended watching A View to a Kill last night. You know, for a min-80's Bond movie with Roger Moore pushing Medicare age, it's a pretty good flick. It has some outstanding action scenes and Christopher Walken hamming it up as an Aryan-esque psycho is always good.
-
Doesn't Jack lay out one of the kung fu chicks before they spring everyone out and jump in the water? Or was that just Wang?
-
Jack does kill Lo Pan. To be fair.
-
as I forgot Wonderland. Anyone who is willing to step into the length of Holmes on screen deserves a nod. That's bravery.
-
fuck knows what happened there
-
It'd make $500 million if released today.
-
see, I was quite enjoying it for a while. Then they ripped off True Lies and Bruce went Plane surfing and it lost me.
-
Stay. Stay and offer your opinion on Billy Bob, Kurt, and the dangers of Pullmanianism!Also, is there any chance you watch Gilmore Girls? No one here will discuss it with me.
-
Didn't see Gilmore Girls providing me with my morning laugh.
-
Yes, the stupid plane scene was bad. Very, very bad. But I still like it. I never understood why action movies have to try and push the envelope into stupidity territory. Why I ask, why???
-
is not measured in box office take. It is irrelevant.
-
One of my favourite shows ever. A true character show, which is refreshing.
-
Dec 03, 2008 8:29:10 AM CST
Mr. Zeddemore - you are my new favourite AICN type
by franklin t marmoset
Move over, jpt and Jarv. Mr. Zeddemore's the man now!
-
Dec 03, 2008 8:29:42 AM CST
I'd watch Gilmore Girls if it was called Fill More Girls
by hawaiian organ donor
And it was 60 minutes of me doing the mother-daughter tag team. Hell, I'd even watch it in high def.
-
It is a shame to waste good coffee. Also ironic, since Lorelai Gilmore loves coffee so much.
-
Ignore these chaps, it rocks. End of. Fact - all people should talk really, really fast and live in a ridiculously idyllic town.
-
Sorry, but it's unacceptably lame. Mrs. Jarv likes it. Apparently Alexis Bledl (if that's right) is Argentian. I find this surprising and more interesting than the show.
-
Perhaps your local authorities should look into it, just to be safe.
-
getting rescued from Wales and your getting returned. And I like the idea of a true character show. Just try to put some actual fucking characters in it. You may as well watch Hollyoaks, frankly.
-
menstrual television can we move on?
-
Whuh? I can understand not liking it, but it's a character show. There are very few plots. Episodes revolve around character beats. That is a true character show.
-
So long as it isn't Lost, discuss away.
-
it is something in the Water- Mr. Zeddmore lives in Wales and Frank lives dangerously close to Wales. It's the fucking pollution
-
Dec 03, 2008 8:43:52 AM CST
er, so how about that Tremors show that no one's seen?
by just pillow talk
I'm sure that's a character driven show if ever there was one.
-
I know I should like it, but I just don't. I tried and people keep telling me how good it is, but I just don't like it.
-
Something we agree on.
-
It's probably the fact that the water over here is nice. Puts you in a better mood and allows you to enjoy more TV.
-
Lorelai, Rory, Luke, Emily, Richard, Mrs Kim, Taylor, Suki, Jackson, Michel - that show is stuffed with great characters. Lane can be annoying, and Logan is an insufferable douche, but otherwise they're all great. Plus, it's funny. And charming. And delightful. Yes, DELIGHTFUL! P.S. Gilmore Girls has abso-fucking-lutely nothing in common with Hollyoaks.
-
playing in the office next to me. Loud and I can hear it. If it wasn't so cold I'd go for a smoke to escape from it.
-
Lane rocks. Richard and Emily are the best, mostly because they can both be pithy elitist snobs.
-
It has previously made me turn off the telly and go for a run before, and I hate running. They annoyed me that badly.
-
Sigh.
-
I'm tired. We watched The Wild Bunch for an MA viewing. The final action sequence is just amazing. Honestly, the crap editing in QoS is even worse when you see how awesome they were doing intense action in 69.
-
West End Tourist snaring shite. Going for a smoke.
-
if the mother in it was the same character from Bad Santa."Fuck me Santa. Fuck me Santa."
-
I go for a run whenever I see Ricky Gervais on the TV. Thankfully, he's not been on properly for a while.
-
Plays Andrew Lloyd-Webber at the office? Jarv, I need some coordinates. Loading up the Big Bertha of pencil cannons now.
-
I watched the first half of season one, realised that fuckhead JJ had no idea where the show was going and tuned out. I saw a random episode after that where some guy was pushing a button on the hour every hour. And that constituted a whole episode. What a load of shit.
-
She used to bug the crap out of me - far too many references to bands a girl of her age would never be into. But I've liked her more in the past couple of seasons, especially since she started that band with the guy out of Skid Row.Man, this is a weird experience. Normally, when I bring up the GG, I get the internet equivalent of people throwing tomatoes at me.P.S. Don't read this post, Jarv.
-
Locke: IT'S NEVER BEEN EASY (I died a little when he said that, I really did.)
-
I would've been one of the guys throwing things at you, but I found myself temporarily off work six months ago and it was on every morning. I became a geek, and bought S1. I watched the entire season in three days.
-
I just finished watching Season 4, and it was garbage, just garbage. Boring, pointless, wheel-spinning garbage.I want to stop, but my curiosity has me hooked. I want to know what happens!
-
and I can still hear that shite. Did anyone watch Last Man Standing last night? Best thing on telly. I really want to go Water Buffalo racing. That looks like a good changian past time.
-
Quit it sir, cold-turkey. Supernatural is better.
-
I was off work for about 3 months years ago and watched the entire Twin Peaks series in a week. I've never seen Gilmore Girls so I'll hold my tongue, but it's definitely not my type of show.
-
Fuckin JOseph and the technicolour yawn. Someone may have to die before the end of the day.
-
Sorry mate, I was watching CSI:NY. Hollywood can kiss my ass for not giving Gary Sinise anything better to do. Fuck-tards.
-
For the same reason I can't give up 24 and BSG. I'm totally hooked, even during the bad seasons.Speaking of stuff on TV, did everyone rush out and watch John Adams per my recommendation?
-
I know he's been in some good movies but you have to look at the roles he played in said movies. Almost always the pussy/coward/"we're all doomed" character. Plus while he was in Aliens and in Predator he got fucking owned in both and died in horrible ways. He got his head torn off in Predator 2 after trying to fight the predator with a sword for sucks sake.
-
Shit-head.
-
Dumb-ass.
-
I got hooked on it on E4 this year. I never thought I'd be the kind of guy who records Gilmore Girls so he can watch it when he gets home from work, but it turns out I am.
-
I just drunk 500ml of Apple Juice, and 330ml of Orange Juice, and I feel relaxed and bouncy. Is this natural?
-
being in Aliens and Predator 2.
-
Dec 03, 2008 9:10:44 AM CST
There's a lot of stuff that I'm yet to get to...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Band of Brothers, The Sopranos. The Wire. The Shield. I really want to watch all these but just don't have the time. As for 24, I'm hooked. I watched the first season, then missed seasons 2-6. I watched them all one after another over about four months last year. Damn good show.
-
very fucking good. I really enjoyed it.Seriously, Watch Last Man Standing. It's hysterical. Even if it is reality TV. For you Americans out there- the idea is they get 6 guys that are really fucking good at some western sport and then send them to little villaiges in the 3rd world to take part in local tribal games. I really want the American Rugby player guy to win one, because he keeps getting robbed. And I don't want the boxer to win any more. Because he's a tool. Anyhoo, last week was Water Buffalo racing and was brilliant- you stand on a tiny platform between two buffalo and they drag you at top speed across a paddy field- the idea being you have to hit a tiny doll thingy with your buffalo in the fastest time. I was crying with laughter.
-
Aye, I watched it on E4. Now I'm at Uni in Wales. So I buy the box-sets instead. Same with Supernatural - it's insane that the latter costs under £20 on DVD, it's less than a £1 per episode.
-
And you were right, HOD - very good stuff.You can't beat a bit of Giamatti.
-
Ain't my thing as I found none of it interesting. I'm sure it probably got better, but I doubt I'll ever give it a shot because really I won't have the type of devotion needed to watch all those damn episodes. At least Paxton went down swinging as it were.
-
Holy crap - is that the Channel 5 one? With that bald looking John Locke guy whose eyes keep saying 'DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO' every five seconds as he gets the shit kicked out of him by another Zulu?
-
Spectacular mini-series.
-
Yes, but that's acceptably stupid. See also Charles Dutton in Alien 3. And he wasn't a crying little bitch in Predator 2, he was a cocky sumbitch. In Aliens, granted, Hudson was a bit of a Weasel, but when he was backing down the corridor shooting them screaming "you want some? oh you want some?" that was totally changian. Even if he did die.
-
in that one, they're just ordinary people that think they're hard. In LMS, they're athletes that think they're a bit tasty. Difference being, in LMS, occasionally they manage to beat the tribes (they usually get pwnd). The bit that still makes me laugh even though the BBC trailled it to fuck was in the first series when they were Zulu stick fighting and the tribal guy said of one of them: "He is arrogant and lazy, later I will beat him with a stick." This series has been more endurance than fighting. Probably because the fighting ones favour the big guys too much- I still think they're nuts for doind shit like the Nepal race- carrying fucking rocks half way up Everest. It's entertaining as hell.
-
So nasty and uncalled for. Please don't let Chitty and myself rub off on you. The last thing I need to start my morning is an image of warm cum pouring out of the gaping cunt of a cute 19 year old.
-
Was I right or was I right about the scene with Adams and the King where dear old George was damn near in tears over the loss of the American colonies and could barely look Adams in the face. I challenge anyone to find a better acted scene in recent memory.Like. A. Bitch.
-
Dec 03, 2008 9:21:49 AM CST
good to see the more recently added cadets on this morning...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
I'm watching 'I'm A Celebrity' meself... purely to see Takei look bemused at the idiocy around him.
-
You were right. Lord alone knows why Channel 4 buried it on the ass end of freeview.

Lost Jarv -- the moment you speak of from Aliens....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
.....was better in Starship Troopers, at the end when the black dude is laying out piles of bugs.
-
What is he doing on it. Dude needs to fire his agent STAT. "So, George" said dimunitive GEordie twat number 1, "tonight you're snacking on a nice plate of cold kangaroo gonads", "Wa-hey," agreed dimunitive Geordie twat number 2 "it'll be right entertaining"
-
C'mon, you're telling me you never envisioned a two way with the Gilmore Girls?Now go get yourself a coffee so you can be in top form to regale us with tales of fist fucking and rim jobs.Paxton was brilliant in One False Move and Frailty. And hell, I even enjoyed him in Twister.
-
I love Starship Troopers. Mrs. Jarv does not. Something about gratuitous nekkidness that put her off. Her changian indoctrination has slowed since she pronounced Hawk The Slayer to be terrible shite. I should have started with Conan and worked my way down.
-
Ant & Dec are absolute twats. 'Oh aye, about that ey?'
-
That scene in Cable Guy, when Jim is karaokeing Jefferson Airplane was acted far better than the John Adams scene, IMVHO.
-
Surely Mrs. Jarv saw the epic portrayal of the robotic speaking elf? The revolutionary style of editing done during the "action" scenes?
-
if the BBC is going to fill the airwaves with reality shite (Strictly Cum dancing) then they really should lose the License fee. There's enough of that shite on ITV and Channel 4. Fucking seriously, it's wall to wall X-factor, come dancing, real estate porn, and a load of other shite- and we've got Celebrity Big Brother to "look forward" (much the way you look forward to being fisted by a giant holding a fistful of nails) to.
-
In Starship? Awwwww. Its justified. They are in the military. And most of the tits in that film are horrid anyway.
-
Ta-ta's a plenty, and yet there were not allowed to breath. Surely one of them would have lost a shirt in the winds?
-
Sedalia, Missouri — A hunter bagged a big buck on the second day of firearms season, but the kill caused him a lot of pain. Randy Goodman, 49, said he thought two well-placed shots with his .270-caliber rifle had killed the buck on Nov. 19. Goodman said the deer looked dead to him, but seconds later the nine-point, 240-pound animal came to life.
The buck rose up, knocked Goodman down and attacked him with his antlers in what the veteran hunter called "15 seconds of hell." The deer ran a short distance and went down, and died after Goodman fired two more shots.
Soon Goodman started feeling dizzy and noticed his vest was soaked in blood.
So he reached his truck and drove to a hospital, where he received seven staples in his scalp and was treated for a slight concussion and bruises. -
I don't get Channel 4, luckily. My aerial won't tune into it. So I subsist on Channel 5's amazingly bad film schedule. Last Sunday was SWAT, Monday was 'Casualties Of War,'
-
she kept asking why there were Vulcans in it. Nor was she impressed by the Giant that wasn't much bigger than everyone else. Nor the Dwarf that wasn't much smaller. I think she missed the point.
-
I get the impression he leant over the deer and whispered 'Are you dead, Bambi?'
-
between slightly taller than average giant and slight smaller than average dwarf? I wept like a little child when *SPOILER* the dwarf didn't make it.
-
Yeah, the daughter is very hot. I even enjoy her bizarre mumbling voice. But the mom? Sheeesh. She looks like Woody Woodpecker's friend Wally Walrus.

I tried that line of reasoning. Didn't work. It's not the quaity of them, it's the fact they felt the need to do it anyway. Apparently, but she could have been speaking Japanese for all the sense that made to me.

....and I can't believe how much fucking money they make. You know whats weird is how British t.v. shows are exactly the same as American t.v. right now. Just with different accents and less attractive women.

It's a Made for TV film currently on Channel 5. This woman dies, and another woman who sounds just like her interupts the funeral pretending to be said dead woman. The thing is, the women look identical... but no-one mentions it. Must've been cheaper than hiring two actresses for such a shit film.
-
.....but dead serious about Wally Walrus.

and you have to go digital. If Wales can go digital. Which I'm not convinced about. On the plus side, the Rugby has finished for the year so I don't have to watch England lose again. Wales beat Australia and I couldn't work out who I wanted to lose more. On balance, just, Australia. Pity both teams couldn't lose.

On 30 September 2008, it was reported that the pair were being sued for $30 million by Greek American stand-up comedian and actor Anthony Kalloniatis for using "his" name in the United States. The lawsuit, among other things, alleges trademark infringement and fraud. (you can't make this shit up, but it is hilarious to read.)

I'm actually going to have to go and check. There'd better be at least one thing in the next 7 days.

Has anyone seen this show? I keep hearing it's good.

...but one of the Ant and/or Dec guys (dark haired one) looks like a fucking troll. They really are hideous hosts. Most male hosts of that kind of shit are far more attractive if they are under 50.

Are they together?

Shit. I'm struggling. phew, Star Stories, The Devil's Whore, Cutting Edge, Beach Volleyball (fuck yes!), Charmed (you should like that if you like the Gilmore Girls), The Ascent of Money. Not great, but something.

I go away for a fag, and I come back to find you insulting Lauren Graham?If were a man living in them olden days, I would challenge you to a duel! Pistols at twenty paces and whatnot!

The rest of that post: BEach Volleyball, Cutting Edge, The Ascent of Money, Star Stories and The Devil's Whore. Not great and to be honest, the only one I would watch is Beach Volleyball. BUt that's because it makes me happy in the pants and is on at a suitably late "home after pub" time.

That's on Channel 4, but it's not that great.Channel 4 really is shit these days. They used to do some good stuff, but now it's a nauseating middle class nightmare. I don't know what the fuck happened there.

Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have had to make clear the nature of ther friendship to American audiences.
The cheesy duo sparked speculation about their sexuality when they launched new TV show Wanna Bet in the States.
Viewers thought their camp performances meant they were gay, reports Daily Star Sunday.
‘How refreshing to see 2 gay guys hosting a mainstream network show,' one viewer wrote on a web forum. 'They’re so cute.’
But Ant and Dec, 32, set the record straight during an interview on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live show.
‘We’re not together like that,’ Ant explains putting an arm around Dec.
‘We’re together like this,’ he says, shaking Dec’s hand.
Ant, 32, celebrated his second wedding anniversary with wife Lisa last month. -

He is the sexual orientation barometer to which America judges?

toss-pot wanker
1. toss-pot
An old English double-noun which, because of the use of the word, toss and its own synonymous resonance with masturbation and wank, does not mean "a wanker".
A toss-pot is a drunkard, a toper; a would-be alcoholic still managing to function in society.
Oh, for fuck's sake, you haven't left the cellar key with that old toss-pot?
You really are a silly old toss-pot, aren't you? I was, I guess, somewhat taken aback when you threw up all over the Bulgarian Ambassador, but I do so love you very much, Poppet.
-
I'm sorry about that. Really, I am.You gave us Dexter (thanks for that), we gave you two insipid Geordie twats. That just doesn't seem fair.
-
There is no store-bought gel that can do that.
There is only one bodily fluid that can harden to that level as it dries... -
basically is a more polite term for "useless twat". It does come from Wanker, but doesn't mean "container that one may masturbate into". Kind of ike "bugger".

I've spent many, many years avoiding Ant & Dec and their anodyne entertainment stylings, so I reckon seeing them for the amount of time it would take to tie all eight of their collective limbs together onto one mushy ball and throwing the whole mess into the trunk of a large tree would be too, too much.I just couldn't take it. They are so bland and inoffensive, trying to maintain a good hulk-out in their presence would like trying to maintain a hard-on while Rosie O'Donnell plays with her fanny.

any day now Ant and/or Dec will be linked to this case...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Boy George, 46, has been charged with falsely imprisoning a 28-year-old man. The 28-year-old was a young Norwegian male, named Auden Carlsen, who had agreed to go to George's home in Shoreditch to pose for photographs.
The man claims that when he arrived at George's home north of London he was threatened, handcuffed and chained to a wall. George, whose real name is George Alan O'Dowd, was arrested and released on bail. The former Culture Club singer's next court appearance is scheduled for November 22nd.
Now, George has been charged with false imprisonment. It is alleged that George, Boy did keep one Auden Karlsen prisoner in his flat.
It is also alleged that Auden was photographed, as arranged, and then, while tethered to a wall, pounced upon by George, who produced whips and sex toys and gave full throat to the line: “Now you’ll get what you deserve.”
Karlsen says he escaped by wrenching the chain from the walls and running for his life.
This isn't the first time George has made headlines for something other than his music. Boy George was arrested back in 2005 in Manhattan on suspicion of possessing cocaine, which he was fined US$1000 and required to perform community service.

In female-to-male gender reassignment surgery, an affordable, realistic and functional penis is considered a fantasy. Some female-to-male patients choose to have a metoidioplasty -- a procedure where a clitoris enlarged through hormone therapy is repositioned at the end of a neophallus, or surgically constructed penis that is able to perceive sensation. In male to female transitions, the head of the penis becomes a neoclitoris.

first the discussion is going strong over possible changian candidates, then Bill Pullman is considered, and it veers off into discussing gay brit tv hosts and Gilmore Girls?

Thank fuck. The voice of sanity. Paxton gets a yes. Near Dark and throat cutting with spurs raises him over the bar. Lithgow gets a no. If 3rd Rock was a one of aberration then it may be otherwise, but it went on for like 20 years of lame unfunniness.

NO NO NO. Unacceptable.

....because of his contractual obligations to Magnum P.I. In and Out is fucking hilarious. He was the only good thing ever on Friends. And I bet after he walked out of Indy IV he told his kid "Thanks fuck I didn't get caught up in that bullshit."
-
Spy Kinds movies...Vertical Limit (holy shit Batman, was that a dreadful movie)...Titanic...Now he was in some good movies, but was he the shit in those movies? No. I'd have to lean towards no with him, and I don't foresee him reversing the trend either.
-
The only list he should ever be on is-- Top Ten Ugliest Leading Men In a Romantic Comedy, and Worst On-Screen Presidents of All Time.
-
I did more amusing Law exams. Even if (and this is a big fucking if) you had a frontal lobotomy and found that horrible 1950's style shite funny, then you still have to come to terms with the fact that he was a homo trying to bugger Kevin Kline. Kevin Kline, for the love of god.It's not happening. Selleck is not changian.
-
Was his 'Indiana Jones' movie. Tom was great in Magnum. And that show has one pf my all time favotire episodes of any show i have ever seen. A totally evil fuck killed Magnums wife, and others. Magnum hunts him down, over course of several episodes, gets drop on him, bad guy drops his gun, raises his hands, and smiles, knowing Magnum is too honorable to shoot him in cold blood. Magnum blows him away. Screen goes black. Awesome show. But Tom does not belong in the hall.
-
...in real life Selleck could fuck up half the assholes on your list. Not Keith David of course. He could fuck up the other half.
-
Put it this way, Chris O'Donnel has more chance of becoming a changian than Selleck. And he once played a gay hood ornament in a franchise killer. I'd forgotten Paxton was in it. He's out.

He can't even get within 300 yards of the Church before Tony Jaa gets mighty upset and starts burning down villages with his FLAMING LEG KICKS and breaking the limbs of small woodland animals.

My mom told me she remebered one of those game shows that had a celeb and a contestant playing word games ($64,000 pyramid?).

So he is yelling "Doe! Doe!"

Selleck busts out laughing, women tries to sue after being laughed at due to stress.

on a tv show be some kind of badge of honor instead? People look like idiots all the time on game shows. Sometimes I think Wheel of Fortune only lets the dumbasses be contestants, either that or you go there when you fail the Jeopardy qualifying tests.

The company is called Audio Lunchbox and I had an account with them years ago. For unknown reasons they billed me again. Keeping billing info on file is one of my pet peeves.And fear not Jarv. I managed to get my hands on their phone number from my bank (looked up their account information) so I left them a choice phone message as well.

But enshrinement is a lifetime acheivement, or one singular incident of extreme badassery. As great as Magnum was, it aint enough
-
Doesn't that count for something?
-
He was always one Higgins hissy fit away from driving the golf cart
-
then Don Johnson gets in for driving a Barracuda in Nash Bridges.
-
He drove nice cars. Plus I'm loathe to add just TV personalities to the CoC. I don't think Selleck has done anything outside of Magnum to warrant the canceling out of the dreck he's put out via films.I wasn't a Magnum fan to begin with.
-
Shagging a prolific amount of pussy does. I realize one does help the other, but the manly men in the CoC don't need no stink'in fancy car to get laid.
-
The pride of Muleshoe, Texas and drove a Mercedes instead of Ferrari in ABC hit series Matt Houston.
Hate to call him a Selleck knock-off, as he is a real horseman and does rodeos.
Also had a hair helmet that his convertible was no match for, as 100mph-plus speeds produced nary a single flutter from any strand. -
when asked about being hit on by Don while working on Nash Bridges that "if you dont get hit on by Don Johnson then there's something wrong with you" or something to that effect.

That conservative gun pusher should be fired by a clown cannon through a field of barbed wire where a lemon juice swamp filled with crocodiles awaits whatever part of him makes it through on the other side.
-
Magnum P.I. had 162 fucking episodes of pure awesomeness. During this time Selleck procured the cunt of thousands upon thousands of fans. If this isn't a lifetime achievement, I dunno what is. Tony Jaa has what-- 4 starring roles? And his most recent film he walked off of stamping his feet and sobbing like a baby. He is hardly deserving.
Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV is the man we should all strive to be. Men love him,. and women love to blow him. Shame on you all four doubting the worldwide impact of The Selleck. -

by chittychittygangbang
Sliding around in gravel, scratching off when he left the driveway.
He drove that thing like a rented car. Kudos for that. -
And he got a re-goddam-diculous amount of it. Good for you Sonny Crockett.

Don Johnson screwed his baby sitter when he was young
by chittychittygangbang
Now that is a freakin' trim magnet.
Imagine the nads on that kid. Brushing his teeth and combing his hair, checking his looks in the mirror as the doorbell rings.
His mom yelling "Babysitter is here!" and that kid thinking "I'm going to fuck that chick tonight."
To beat your meat thinking about your hot babysitter is one thing, but to actually have the mojo to act on it AND pull it off. Wow...
Holy shit! -
Dec 03, 2008 12:43:11 PM CST
I love Kurt....but he got no clean trim in the 80s...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...while Tom Selleck was fucking supermodels in the ass, Kurt was laying next to that disgusting bag of bones Goldie Hawn. I wouldn't marry that fucking crow either.
-
I hope Tom Selleck blows out his asshole while being force fed rusty razor blades and watching a Gilmore Girls marathon. I never watched a single episode of Magnum PI and I hope any woman that blew Selleck because of that garbage lost all her teeth and all sense of taste.

Chitty, I mis-read that. I thought you wrote 'baby-sister'
by toadkillerdog
I was about to say, whoa nelly! Danny, Goldie was very hot in the 70's and 80's. Just look at Private Benjamin. You are wrong on that score dude. Kurt also picked up points for Goldie being a few years older, and far more wealthier.

Serious question: Does anyone find Frank Caliendo funny?
by toadkillerdog
Cause i damn sure dont'. I mean dude is terrible with impersonations. I swear i have no idea who he is trying to impersonate in any of his commercials. Not one. He does do a great vocal impression of John madden, but that is it. How does a short fat dumpy, unfunny, bad impersonator keep working?
-
I think she always looked nasty. I can't stand her fucking lips. She looks like Daniel Stern in drag. That movie with the blind guy where she is a shoe-less hippy....yeah she looked like total shit in that movie. Wash your fucking hair you cracked out crow.
-
Being American or not would have nothing to do with whether or not he liked Selleck or Magnum
-
And was living in the US during the Magnum PI run. I think my dad moved us back north when it ended. Coincidence?And I actually liked Selleck back then. I only watched it once but I enjoyed Quigley and a couple of his others films but when revealed his true self I wanted nothing more than to grind his bones into dust.
-
You just blind Danny
-
Dec 03, 2008 1:03:44 PM CST
toad-- no. Fuck that fat pig. May he die Mamma Cass style.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
I was just having a conversation with Mrs. Dick Blood about this when we went to the movies and they show those fucking Dish Network commercials that make me want to castrate myself like a Gremlin. He did a Pacino impersonation that was so fucking pathetic I just started laughing hysterically. I realized perhaps I had fallen for the gag. His impersonations are so fucking bad that they themselves are not funny-- just the fact that he seems to think he has talent is funny! But seriously...lose some fucking weight you fucking slob. His DeNiro, Pacino, Charles Barkley impersonations would look a lot better if he weren't 5'4 and 280 lbs.
-
Heresay is not tolerated in the Church of Change. Tony Jaa is as much a part of the CoC as any other member. He's a fucking animal, albeit an unstable one. But that doesn't change what my eyes have witnessed with Ong Bak and The Protector. Magnum would never have his legs on fire. He's still a pussy.
-
I think he's an extremely talented impersonator but don't really find him humorous. His Bush was PERFECT.
-
That is the joke? Well, no wonder I did not get it. I thought he was actually trying to be an impersonator, not pretending to be one. He is truly horrible.
-
...the dude fucks wearing a stars and stripes Speedo with a Magnum sized hole for his unit. Thats his protection, the power of the red, white, and blue.
-
Dec 03, 2008 1:09:14 PM CST
Bush is like the easiest impersonation on the planet....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...Sarah Palin's retard infant could do a W. impersonation.
-
I'm gonna find proof that Tony Jaa uses wires.
-
Dec 03, 2008 1:10:45 PM CST
Node, why am I not surprised you would find him talented?
by toadkillerdog
I think he would make a good Hulk Poodle - albeit a chubby puppy hulk poodle
-
Seriously....not just talented, but EXTREMELY TALENTED?!
Fuck me. What you just said is anything I've ever seen in this Dish Network commercials. His Jack Nicholson? Ouch. -
No thanks.
-
I meant to type WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS FUNNIER THAN ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN....
-
and he's not in the tickling mood.
-
He is NOT funny. Toad is right, he would make good Hulk SMASHING material.
-
When he branched out he became intolerable. Glue him to Tom Selleck's back and THEN fire Magnum from the cannon. Two birds with one stone.
-
I can see Kurt coming in late and Goldie being all pissed off.
Kurt: "Hi honey I'm home!"
Goldie flies in, with a freshly loaded Newport hanging from her lip and a martini splashing in her hand screaming "CAW! CAW! CAW!"
Kurt checks his answering machine, a single tear forming in his eye as he listens to Selleck screaming for him to come over, as a trio of young women squeal and splash in the background.
He wipes his eye dry and gives another glance to Goldie, drunkingly swaying back and forth and she perches on top of the backrest of a recliner, cawing away as her claws give the chair another deep scratch.
Later on that night and after Goldie has finally succumbed to alchohol, he sits in that same recliner that served as a violent perch to her mad fits of jealous rage.
He spins a big glass of Jack Daniels and ice, gripping the top of the glass with the tips of his fingers and spinnig his wrist.
The ice does a caramel-lighted show as the tv alone lights up the room with yet another playing of The First Wive's Club left on a loop by Goldie.
His looks back out in the driveway at the Lambo Diablo that movie paid for and almost smiles.
But as he relaxes and let's his ass test the springs in the recliner, the back of his head is tingled with the torn streaks of fabric from Goldie's rants.
He picks up the phone, thinking that maybe she has had enough vodka to not hear him has he dails Selleck and drives over. He is eager to see if a tight pussy feels that same as he remembers, or a what a nice big set of young tits is like, as Goldie's never reached past the shallow valleys of her chest ribs.
He smiles at the thought of a hot, young piece of ass and takes a larger than normal swallow of the Jack Daniels, which has melted the ice just enough to form the good amount of water that gives you the warm, sharp taste of the whiskey, but not the burn.
He raises one hip and let's out a fart, which vibrates the leather of the recliner and causes the Labrador to raise his head from the floor.
Russell raises his glass to the dog, "Fuck yeah I'm a goddamn real man." winks at him and takes another long drink and then refills.
He takes another drink and feels his buzz as he lowers the glass, picking up the phone to dial Selleck's number and show those chicks what a real man can do to them.
He likes the thought of getting to go over and act like a real man. A real fucking man. A real fucking man that will smoke and drink with both hands as the chick is on her hands and knees on the deck of the hot tub, rocking back and forth because a real man told her to do so.
A real man that makes her feel like a real women.
He is punching the last number and hears a martini glass crash into a wall.
Goldie is up again, that last line of cocaine finally fighting past the last martini to fuel her back up for another run at Russell.
He hangs up the phone slowly, not hearing Selleck pick up at the last minute...
Russell stares straight ahead and takes another small sip.
That tear forms again.... -
Look it up.
-
All the cool ones are. Fuggedaboutit!!
-
Hahaha. Hilarious. You got good old Goldie right on. She looks like she's got one nasty ass torn up pussy. All bruised and twisted looking like a fucking Shar Pei's face. Nasty old crow. Poor Kurt is locked in that chamber like the dude in The Raven.
-
What if she dumps or he becomes single again?
There wouldn't be a single legal-aged pussy safe from the wrath of his cock.
Can you imagine his trouser snake's eagerness after it realized it was sniffing new pussy?
Dear God, fuck the Baby Boomer generation, we would be on the cusp of the Kurt Boomer generation.
A whole generation of eye-patch wearing badasses that didn't take no shot from anybody and ripped the tits off any woman that uttered the very mention of getting tied down with marriage. -
http://tinyurl.com/632nx5
-
You can fuckign hate his humor but Caliendo's impressions are mostly spot on. His Nicholson is weak but his Bush, Madden, and Trump impressions are spot on.
-
Funny as hell. Node, Caliendo sucks harder than Superman Returns on Ang Lees Hulk's green dick.
-
Damn, at least wait until she hits her teens.
-
I don't have a problem with someone being a member. It's the outspoken inflexible morons like Selleck and Heston that bother me.The McCain endorsement is troubling though. I think Kurt might need to give us another Burton-esque role to remove that blip.
-
Fuuuuuglyyyyyy. You know Kurt is banging tons of hot gash on the down low. Tons, like mega tons.Frank Caliendo sucks. His best impersonation is Maddded and its just ok, its way overused. He pimps the one okay thing he does OK on The Fox Pregame show like every other week, it's stale. His Chuck Barkley, holy shit, does that one blow chunks. I didn't know who the hell caliendo was impersonating until he did a shitty job of parroting the way Barkley says "terrible". He's horrible and unfunny.

Dec 03, 2008 1:49:23 PM CST
Holy Fuck Danny! Let me explain her after looking at that photo
by chittychittygangbang
We used to have anywhere to three or four horses and we would ride often.
I had my trusty saddle and I loved it. After all, I got it when it was new and I had broken it in.
It looked good too. All the leather straps and laces looked and fitted perfect. This was MY saddle. I had broken it in. It fit me and I was comfortable with it.
But after several years, it started to age a bit. Nothing drastic, but you could tell the years were adding up. I told myself that this was character and people always knew we were a team, riding the horse together as a pair fused by the glue of hours of teamwork.
Every once in a while I would see a new saddle at the store. I would look and admire the newness of its laces and shine of leather.
But I quickly dismissed any idea of replacing my comforting saddle back home. I could not even think of it. We were a pair.
Pretty soon though, there was trouble in paradise.
Those creases were becoming cracks. Those gaps were widening. The hole for the buckle under the horse was loose and no longer tight at all. The tooth for the buckle had slack for days as it no longer was gripped by the hole very well at all, one side providing the only touch.
I started thinking about that new saddle and winced. No way, I'll just have my new saddle patched up with a little work.
The leatherman can tighten things up here and there.
But it just wasn't the same. I couldn't fool anyone into thinking I had a new saddle. Sure it has tons of character, but that character could be observed on the wall of tackhouse or a saddle stand just as well.
I all of a sudden wanted a brand-new saddle between my legs. I openly said it outloud when no one was around.
But I just couldn't let go of that old saddle as everyone always told me how noble I was for keeping it with me and actually using it out in public.
It was heartwrenching wanting that new saddle, but always throwing that used one under your legs... -
I know she is sliding into Matronly Old Jewish lady look. But she was cute as hell in her twenties and thirties. And major Milf in forties and eearly fifties. Also, Goldie and Kurt have an 'open' agreement. Kurt gets all the trim him wants outside, and Goldie does not complain.
-
Jesus, what the hell "one okay thing he does OK" Fuck me. Someday proofreading I will take you down. I promise.
-
Okay. You know who else "WILL" be very attractive? The girl from Bridge To Terabithia. I can say no more.
-
I will fight you to the death about this. Batman Forever is the greatest Batman ever. Val is the best Batman ever as well. That movie is so awesome. Lets face it, 99% of people who know about Batman, know its a comic but have only seen the old Adam West show. The reason that The Dark Knight made shit tons of money wasn't because of peoples love for The Killing Joke. And seeing as the first run of Batman is really just a TV adaptation.
-
Looks like I am trying to fillerbuster this TB.
-
I just looked it up. Weird.
-
Hobo, have you seen his Goldblum impersonation? Its pretty damn good, and different since everyone does Madden and Bush.
-
I liked that movie. Though Cambpell should stop quitting his day job.
-
This is a post on that girl's page on IMDB. Tell me the truth Vader....is this you?
"whenever i watch a movie with her in it. its not a sexual thing or anything, i just feel really good when i see her in anything! its like she has an aura about her, it just makes me wanna be with her. believe me this is nothing sexual, in fact im younger than her, and have no feelings like that towards her...i just feel like i wanna be around her. i dont know how many people have already said this, but it has probably been alot lol. i probably have no chance of marrying her though, because im about the farthest thing from christian you can be without being a nihilist lol. " -
and how old is she?
-
I absolutely, and completely draw the line where children are concerned. Not joking in the least bit. She is fifteen. Lets move on to another topic.
-
Watching The Dark Knight again to see if it holds up and putting National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on an endless dvd loop during family christmas time.
That movie is as part of christmas for us as a tree or presents. -
I am looking forward to a weekend of Iron Man, and Dark Knight, back to back. Xmas vacation and Christmas story are musts during holidays
-
or TNT, I can't remember.
They will loop it like I loop Xmas Vacation.
Funny part of Christmas Story was when the dogs busted in and grabbed the turkey. Those fuckers were going at it.
Reminds of when I read that book about some interns finally getting the money for some coke and Belushi kicked the door in and shiffed it up before running back out. -
Now we're talking about underage girls (WTF), Batman Forever and Vertical Limit being good????? AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
-
I think it's the ABC family channel that plays all of those like a zillion times as well. Christmas Vacation never gets old. I laugh every fucking time with the Grandma and the reindeer in the sky at the end.
-
Flat out refuse. I own a copy of A Christmas Story. I also saw a stage version of it. SAs far as the dogs, having lived through a siilira episode with my own dog, I cry laughing when that scene is on! My mom and sister do not!
-
That is the greatest of all X-ms traditions. Singing the Heat Miser song!
-
The shot selection for Thunderheart.
It's on now at work on AMC and whoever shot that thing really gave you the scope of South Dakota.
Lots of shots that let your eye flow waaay out into the distance of the Badlands.
Nice.
Based on true story as well. -
"Merry Christmas! The shitter's full!"
The way that neighbor slowly retreated back into his house is priceless. -
Clark: "Tis the season to be merry."
Smoking hot clerk: "My name is Mary!"
Clark: "No shit." -
I have never seen it, but it should be one of Fred's favorite movies. It has two Fred's in it!
-
Is Peter Weller eligible for enshrinement? I would think so.
-
Made me realize he basically plays the same character in every single movie.
-
Vader and I agreed she will be a knock-out when she gets a bit older. This entire site can jerk off to Hermione, or spend an entire TB defending Roman Polanski, and thats cool?
Please....I've never said anything inappropriate about a minor. Not once.. -
Blah, blah, blah (insert southern analogy here) blah, blah, blah.
I mean I don't hate the guy, but his character seems the same everytime. -
Speaking of which, I one of my very next movies up in the queue is Buckaroo. I haven't seen that movie in ages....
-
I feel your pain Xi....
-
...in Baby's Day Out.
-
He was a lawyer, I think...Shakedown? I've gotta double check that. There's also Leviathan...haven't seen that in like forever.
-
When Weller punched that chick out at the end...wow.
Was Deep Star Six released about the same time?
I get those two confused sometimes. -
same time.I'm out kids.
-
...because of that dude exploding when he jumps in the escape pod before de-pressurizing.
-
I remember Jonah talking about it.
-
I thought it was Rutger Hauer for some reason.
-
Yeah man I fucking hate watching movies with commercials. Just can't fucking stand it. One day coming home from work I walked in my house and my roommate was watching Terminator 2 on AMC on my TV, and I fucking went nuts and told him he wasn't allowed to use my TV ever again. I had another roommate that was telling me about this funny new Family Guy he was watching on TBS...FUCKING TBS??? Home of crap flavored crap and EDITED reruns of good shows. And it was the first fucking episode of Family Guy EVER. I smacked him right in the face and told him never to touch the remote again. Fucking ignorant people.
-
that's the one with Weller vs. a giant rat in his brownstone apartment. Jarv, lovefilm it immediately. It's good stuff. Anyone here see it?
-
Wasn't there something with Rutger and a giant rat as well?
-
I know you and Vader did not say anything nasty. I did not accuse either of you. But that post was creepy as hell, and you know how quickly these TB's can degenerate. My point, is to just steer clear of that topic altogether. There are a lot of parents on this particular TB, with girls. I am positive neither you, me or they want to discuss anything like the Polanski shit or Hermione.
-
Over and over. Can not even call the dude an actor.
-
Alright, alright. I gotcha.

I mean really, they cast Fred Thompson as Fred Thompson
by chittychittygangbang
If they need a Southern Figure of Authority, they just call his agent and see if he is avaliable.
See Law and Order for great example.
Although I did enjoy him in that role better that Jack McCoy.
I want Jack to be back in the courtroom dammit!!! -
I don't recall hauer and a rat, but I do remember him fighting a genetic mutant rat(possibly the devil) monster thingee in Split Second.
-
Even though the real Fred is dumb as dirt, his onscreen persona is kinda cool. He's got a good voice and a good bulldog face for that sort of role.
-
from whatever movie that is that none of us can remember, but all have images of having seen. I feel like we are all replicants and that was our planted memory.
-
Rack em, stack em and pack em. All this mentioning of the name 'Fred' should be be burning Fred's ears! Maybe Mavra can summon him. Of course we have to summon Mavra first! Yo, Jonah, I am still looking for that damn elephant!
-
Thats what I remembered you talking about the Mutant Rat.....and you said it was very dreamlike where you didn't know if it was the devil right?
-
It featured rats throughout and then the beasty at the end made me think bat for some reason.
Also, I tried putting a can in my wristrocket slingshot like that guy and fucking burned my hand as can was flung onto thumb knuckle just below the speed of sound. -
it was supposed to be a giant rat-bat,but it looked more like an overbaked meatloaf to my eyes. Even had patches of fur like the loaf at our middle school cafeteria.
-
...reminds me of Goldie Hawn's pussy.
-
I was going to make that same fucking comment, but I had to step out and talk to a player's parent.
Damn! I guess I'll have to compare her twat to the Mangler. Another King story gloriously brought to the silver screen. -
...with images of Goldie Hawn Meatloaf pussy perched on a wing chair?NEVERMORE!! NEVERMORE!!
-
parent was registering a player for upcoming league and paid the $40 fee in cash.
He peeled off two twenties from a stack that looked four inches thick. Damn.
He then got into his hummer and drove away.
I started to tell him fee was $100 just to see if he balked. -
The Goldie Meatloaf Pussy Crow voiced by: Gilbert Gottfried
-
I haven't read the news on here in about a month.
-
I think that JJBinks4Prez bastard some of you have argued with seems to have been banned, I was reading the comics talkback and there's a bunch of dialogue with the jerk apparently insulting everyone's opinion, except there are no posts from him.
-
but if you're talking about interesting, worthwhile news, then no, not really.
-
I ain't gonna lie, the talkbacks are pretty fun.
Ecspecially when we get going on a good subject and everyone is around. -
And 85% of the reviews on this site are poop. And the set visits and spy reports are nearly non-existent, and what little inside info they do get is generally poop. So yeah....darkhorizons.com is my #1 source.
-
I have been around for many months and infiltrated the group merely to build trust and give a shameless plug to darkhorizons. My mission is complete. I shall now be gone.
-
but I'm not the kind of freak who needs to know every fucking tiny detail about some movie that's only coming out in 16 months, I got burned out on hype too often.
-
Dec 03, 2008 4:07:37 PM CST
I usually walk by the theater and see what is out
by chittychittygangbang
Just the other day I was walking by and saw a new Bond movie out.
I stopped whistling, raised an eyebrow, then kept walking and humming nicely to myself. -
before Transporter 3 this weekend. Wow, I thought it looked bad on the computer, but holy hell does it look like a visually wretched disaster on a big screen! The style worked with Sin City, but The Spirit is like a big fucking campy over-excited cartoon with really bad effects. And I'm not even talking about how dumb it seems story-wise. I think Miller is digging a lot of people's graves with that ego trip.
-
Punisher on the other hand looks like it might be a fun one, and the initial reviews are surprisingly positive!
-
I'm glad its getting some solid reviews. Looks like an ass-kicking good time. Fuck The Spirit, and fuck Frank Miller. Go the fuck away and quit acting like you're relevant you sleazy cunt.
-
I have'nt seen it in a while but I remember it as being as being really fucking terrible. The only thing that I remember as being cool was badass Scott fucking Glenn with no toes as some sort of wise expert climber. Speaking of Scott Glenn he should be enshrined as well.

I don't have a problem with Verticle Limit....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...it has some good action sequences. Its light on story, what the fucks the problem?
-
http://tinyurl.com/6yoawe

but the action was visually impressive on the big screen. The Day After Tomorrow wishes it had as much of an awe-inspiring feel to make up for its shitty script.

so should Jeff Goldblum.

Thats Goldie in about 6 months.

I think Vertical Limit is good for what it was....

Roland's problem has always been settling for shit effects....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...he has done it with virtually every film he has directed. He has massive effects houses doing the effects, and massive fucking budgets, yet they show him shitting ass badly lit, badly textured, phony looking crap and he says "Oh sure...let's go with it." What the fuck? I'm amazed at some of the shit he approves. And its not the effects guy's fault. With any other director they would probably expect to do several more passes on it-- but good old Roland says "ITS GOOD!!"
-
or a Night Terror, I haven't decided yet. AS for climbing movies, Touching the Void is my favorite
-
sounds like a sexual encounter with TheBates.
-
it's called Leviathan
-
Gonna see what all this remake nonsense is about.
-
Was alright. Kind of boring in parts though, which is more like mountain climbing. Its exciting yeah, but a lot of it is really boring.
-
Cunts.
-
Look pretty fucking cool.
-
Don't even breathe New Order in the same sentence as Ant & Dec.(Very angry Manc glares at monitor. Very. Angry.)
-
Seriously, how do you get started in that field? That would be the best job ever. There are only like 20 voice actors, like people who do enough to not have to really do much else, they pretty much make up the Futrama cast.
-
I suggested him 24 hours ago!Jonah, yeh, I've seen Of Unknown Origin. It's good for a laugh. The rat hides in the toilet waiting for him to squat, if I'm not mistaken. Something like that anyway. Weller then proceeds to reduce his house to tatters trying to whup dat rat with a spiked up baseball bat!Hysterical...
-
He should be on The CoC List as well.
-
and Boothe, while he has a lower profile, is always a strong actor that gives credibility to whatever he does. And neither of them has embarrassed themselves by doing a lot of late-career shitty movies and tv stuff.
-
Love the moment on the boat early on when Murray finds out Owen Wilson is his son. He wanders off to gather his thoughts and Bowie's Life On Mars comes up on the soundtrack. Great moment.Also liked Blanchett's "Because nobody picked me up at the effin airport!" line.The film gets better each time I watch it.
-
He punched Peter Weller in the face in "Shoot the Moon". Plus, he solved the "Murder on the Orient Express" and fought werewolves in "Wolfen". I rest my case.
-
is the President of the Universe good enough for CoC recognition? I always geek out for a good Zeus cameo.
-
When I think of Powers Boothe, it's predominantly Southern Comfort that springs to mind. Also starring the also CoC nominated Fred Ward.
-
Yeh! I'd forgotton he was in The Fifth Element.
-
You can't get much creepier than that. Cool!
-
As ever, people - take care and have a groovy night.

Got to get that finger fixed soon.

I enjoy our quality time together.

It courses through my veins. It's what you all love about me.

Is she up fo a nomination?

Ciao - till tomorrow.
-
I like that too.

Ha ha!

God only knows what the other half would do

which would be a nice little stressless job to help stabilize my finances until I'm up to the high standards of the videogame industry. I applied to a bunch of different places for clerk-type jobs the past couple weeks, since that's what I hav the most experience in, but all I keep hearing is they're not hiring or they might for the holiday season, which sucks because part time for 3 weeks wont pay the rent...

People get really cranky around December, even in video stores.

About Synecdoche New York and now I am mad that I may end up missing it in theaters. I think tomorrow is the last day around here. Maybe I can find time.

Looks like I'll have to wait for the DVDs, the only showtime is at 12:35 PM. I think my boss may not like me to take a 3 hour lunch break.

That is awesome! Now she must be nominated, for the splatter alone!

Dickblood & Anne Ramsey: The love that dares not speak its name
by toadkillerdog
Danny: Oh, Anne, my dear dried up kumquat! I would do anything for you.
Anne: Suck my toes, suck em! Suck em! Danny: Oh, yes, my hammer toed, dessicated lemon. -
I was cracking up!
-
Poor thing. Kungfu may have better shot at her now, so to speak.
-
Basketball in hand. Ready...aim...FIRE!
-
How have yu been?
-
the only Anne Ramsay I knew was the one from Mad About You, who is a lot prettier. Now she's been tainted by that hideous old hag....
-
That we exposed his 'love' affair with Anne Ramsey. I can see Chitty under that tree drinking the gravy - I really can. I need another memory fluch. Stat!
-
OMFG!!!!! Did I just say that? Yes I did. Get the boy a straw!
-
Now, I gotta clean up me keyboard!
-
but as far as I'm concerned, they dont even begin to show just how thankless and crazy it is to work in a place like that. Except maybe for the guy dying in the can while jerking off, everything Smith wrote is 'been there, seen it, done that'.

10 to 1 Danny says: Why do people always talk about me?
by toadkillerdog
Poor Paula.

I actually had a guy walk in one night and ask if I wanted to make $50. When I told him I already had a job, he asked if I thought there might be any other women nearby who would want to make $50. Sad thing is, if the dude had shown up on a summer night, he could have gotten luckier. We had a hooker who worked that parking lot every summer.
-
may Anne tuck you in with caviar wishes and boxed wine dreams
-
Especially if it involves stories of his adventures with females. Besides, I dragged Chitty out to that popular little tree nook, too.
-
So, nothing can faze him.
-
I just dropped Chitty there. It's a might crowded around that tree for my preferences.
-
We need you, Jarv, Pillow and Abom on a TB together
-
some creepy guy wanted to use the restroom, and offered her $20 to go with him! The restroom was in the backstore so it was employees only. One night I had a hooker (I assumed she was one, and she was definitely on some drugs) wanting to go pee. When I said no, she first offered to show me her boobs (like I couldnt see them enough already the way she was dressed), then said if I didnt trust her, to go in with her to watch her pee! err no thanks... But those are just the amusing anecdotes...
-
Ok, gotta watch that.
-
Thanks Vader!
-
me, jarv, pillow were on a couple weeks ago at the same time, I haven't seen Abom in a long time though. Here's som eof the classic stuff we used to do

Whats with mentally disabled martial arts all of a sudden?

Blessed grabbed my and said he was going to roger me
by chittychittygangbang
I screamed "No it's going to hurt!"
He just smiled, pinched my left nipple and whispered in my ear.."You'll get used to it..."
Local authorities scoffed at my rape kit and filed it under 'self-inflicted fantasy wounds.'
I know consider Blessed a major 'Pain in the ass!' -
But damn funny!
-
I'm going to shit out some of his semen, put it in my wife and demand child support when she has his kid.
Ha! The ball is now in your court Blessed! -
I remember a similar story with a hooker and Boris Becker. Must be something about having B's in your name. I think it was oral though.
-
it's been a damn long time since I laughed so much, it fucking hurts!
But, turns out that despite everybody's initial bashing on there, Kung Fu Panda was actually a kickass movie! ooh sweet irony! -
She must have shoved a finger down her throat and then finger-blasted herself while Becker's tiny babies were still swimming.
Those silly hookers!
Isn't the money enough for them? -
Where is a bear thread?
-
just a few posts above right there
-
If I recall correctly, they were in a bathroom, and she was giving him a Chloe Sevigny, but apparently she had no need for a finger down the throat, she had squirrel cheeks.
-
I can see her shoving a funnel into her twat, then aiming her mouth towards it and ramming her fists into her cheeks like Belushi in Animal House.
Hehe, I'm getting chuckled picturing that. -
Just read a mini Boris Bio. He confesses to having a very, very vrief bathroom affair with a model. Apparently the 'chloe sevigny' was not done, just an urban myth.
-
This movie is hysterical! I forgot how good it really is.
-
She really did put a funnel in her mouth!
-
See you guys later
-
preferably performed by someone other than Chloe Sevigny, as I dont find her hot.
I'm thinking Rosario Dawson would be quite nice. -
An interesting movie. I liked it, simple and John C. was weird. I like him and all but I don't see where he is this comic genius now. Watched the first half of Step Brothers and its pretty damn funny, but not as good as Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express or Zach and Miri. But still pretty damn good year for comedies. I don't think any comedies came out last year did they?
-
don't wait for fucking Ebert to tell you what movie to watch. I have been raving about that movie for over a week now! Please make time to watch it so I have someone to talk to about it!
-
I have watched some of his stage stuff on DVD. The man is fucking incredible. So much power. And the beard! He should be Duke of the CoC
-
Look- even if selleck fist fucked a kodiak bear to death then had a 9-some with Salma, Monica, and 7 other milfs whilst using a torn off xenomorph's head as a prophalactic, he still wouldn't have done enough to erase 3 men and a homo. Even if he climbed into the heavens and skull fucked god himself he'd have to then climb into the bowls of hell and beat Satan to death using God's left testicle. And as for 3 men and a homo 2, I dread to think what he'd have to do.

Let's be honest here, AICN hasn't been a good source for news for about 5 years. There's no point complaining about late/ shit/ unexclusive news.It's a message board. Albeit a message board with the most entertaining stuff on t'interwebbby. Look at this Tb for example. We've got nearly 2000 posts and about maybe 100 of them are on topic. Most places this shit just gets deleted, but not here. Talkback is king.
-
Yeah I know man. I've been trying to see it. But the theater has fucking terrible times for it. Added to the fact that its like an hour away from where I live and I barley filling up my car to get to work. I don't know why they only gave it a two week run, or why the one theater that shows all the good limited release movies is in the middle of nowhere. And I've always wanted to see it, I just read some article Ebert wrote that I had up for like a week and never got around to reading it until today, which reminded me that I needed to see it and looks like I missed it.
-
The Second Coming is the best Stone Roses Album. And he said that Ian Brown is a poof.He also said that the Monday's weren't as good as Jimmy Nail and that all real Mancs supported United and only people from Stockport support "Shitty" I think you should go and kill him too.
-
Probably the greatest animal actor ever. Was he the only animal actor to be part of the Oscar remembers section when he died?
-
is a Chloe Sevigny? I'm very, very pleased I don't know. And don't post a link as I'm at work and if it's what I think it is then I'll get fired.
-
yeah, he had a stellar career until he got hooked on "racoon". Then it was all downhill for him. He was found emaciated outside a 7-11 in Montana offering to let creepy guy stroke his fur for the cost of a hot dog between dumpster dives. A sad case.

see, for us it's 16. Therefore, we can say things about that Witch Mountain girl in a few months and technically not be paedos. However, now I'm 30, a 16 year old is just a child so grosses me out. Thinking about Age of consent is really headache inducing. And I've always liked actual women rather than emaciated end stage anorexic smack head types that pass as sex symbols (Keira Knightly). Women don't understand that Tits and Ass are a good thing because they keep reading fashion magazines for what is attractive- an industry where gay men dictate what is sexy. It's the stupidest thing ever. Why would you ask someone who's primary sexual attraction is masculine what a sexy woman looks like? It makes no sense.

So my prior post makes any sense...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
it was in response to your age of consent post, and the keira knightly thing. I've always thought that Jennifer Connelly was a thousand times sexier circa rocketeer to dark city, than these days. She's lost a lot of weight.
-
I'm barely making sense even to myself.
-
but I wondered in the sexual context mentioned above.
-
Not much else to say. Busy as FUCK today.Although, I do have time to agree Connelly was much better looking back when she was curvier. I can't stand this fad for skinny women with giant veins in their foreheads.
-
will be so fucking veiny that they'll look like a roadmap of London.

Strangely. Nobody usually gives a shit about such things. Must have been some Aussies in.

It can be annoying sometimes.

It does get difficult round about the 2000 mark.
-
Theres nothing but remake stories on AICN and the moment they post something related to an original idea (KNOWING) the geeks try to rip shit through it.
-
And someone makes a good point about satire in They Live. Although I still maintain that it's a bad idea

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Original as in not a remake or sequel
-
I'm sure you would agree that fucking Truman Capote (and badly, according to the latter) would be an automatic deletion from the list.
-
NEver heard of it. Doesn't sound promising though.
-
Fuck's sake. Disqualified.
-
"If it hadn't been Errol Flynn, I wouldn't have remembered it."
-
Nic Cage (not promising) but directed by Alex Proyas (promising). Could be a good thriller.
-
Any chance Capote is lying?
-
was an egotistical fuckhead. I read In Cold Blood and apart from the fact that it's obvious he wants to suck Perry Smiths cock, he inserts himself into the last third of the book as "a reporter". The guy was a fucking loser.
-
Cock quality, it was a wide spread rumor that the most well-endowed man in Hollywood for many years was Milton Burle. I am aware that he often wore dresses for comic effect, but, on the other hand, he was also the father-in-law to Richard Moll and one of the few people that could intimidate that giant.
-
He even wrote it into one of his non-fiction books where he was having a gossip fest with Marilyn Monroe and they were comparing sex stories. I don't know if there is proof, but no one ever put forth a denial about the incident.

Satire... They Live and Robocop
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Jarv. If, as WNB says, the future that They Live and Robocop were satirising is the world we live in now, wouldn't that make a remake redundant?Of course, if they could find something new to say then maybe they will, but i doubt they will. It's just like the original Dawn of the Dead vs the remake. The satire was lost in the remake, and it played as just a horror movie. This is what will happen to these remakes, i'm sure. Even though I really like Aronofsky's work, I hate that he's attached to Robocop.
-
but the fact that he played the piano with it. That's funny. I know Capote was an ego driven gossip hound lying fuckhead, and he was also phenomonally ugly and sounded like droopy on crack.
-
breakfast of champions.
-
even with Aronofsky. Peter Weller studied for fucking ages to be able to move properly. What are the chances that whoever is cast will put in the effort? low. That's a good point, but Satire works best when it's savaging current state. They Live and Robocop were using the dystopian future to satirise the 80's- the premise could still work. But you're right. It'll become straight sci-fi.
-
But Flynn should be considered suspect until cleared of the accusations. If it is true, all of the qualities used to describe Capote makes it even worse.
-
Curious about that one.
-
not for fucking a guy, for the appaling judgement involved with fucking Capote. This is not changian. He's off until proof that Capote is lying surfaces.
-
just to be sure. Trautmann is in.
-
I'll leave you to further compose the list without fear of my recalling some more bad-rumor trivia. Cheers!
-
I used her name as a euphemism for oral sex, because she infamously became one of the very few legit actresses to perform that x-rated act on film ina non-porno movie.Ovie was called Brown Bunny. I heard it was a truly awful flick that even said act could not save.
-
whatever you've heard about it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how truly fucking rotten it is. I can't stress this enough, if it comes to a choice between watching Brown Bunny and anally violating the rotting corpse of Truman Capote, then break out the shovel. Oral sex by legit actresses- I can only think of Kerry Fox in intimacy and that French bird in Romance.
-
I want to remind you to offer Danny a straw for his Ramsey special (maybe a handful of 'em). You can say they're from me. ;) Ciao!
-
one of the pretentious fuckheads at Mrs. Jarv's work recommended it. She had to die, obviously. It tries so hard to be "art" and "important" and it's just woefully boring. By the time the blow job comes up you're already in the pub having a pint. Because you fled in boredom and didn't even bother to turn it off.
-
Her name just popped into my head, so it is not a commonly used euphemism, or at least not one that I had ever heard of before, though I am sure someone else must have used it as well because it is a great way to describe the act. Maybe even shorten it to 'a chloe'. Yes, she does have that horse face thing going. I thought she was Sarah Jessica's little sister
-
Haven't seen it and won't. Knob gobblin' should be left to the professionals.
-
Danny got some serious slurping up to do!
-
Have fun.
-
the thing is, the fucker is about 3 hours long and the vast majority of it is just that prick driving around doing nothing.
-
Danny Dickblood's torrid, gravy filled, toes sucking romance with Anne Ramsey, and Chitty's getting rogered by Brian Blessed? Chitty has already Man'ed up and admitted to the incident. And in typical Chitty fashion has turned the tables on Brian Blessed. Will Danny be any less of a man? Stay tuned.
-
Boris Becker - see above Posts from last night about his infamous fling Brian Blessed - see Chitty's rear end. Brown Bunny - Never see it, ever!
-
And both are horribly disturbing. Horribly disturbing.
-
7 seconds in the linen cupboard of a very fucking expensive Japanese restaurant. 7 Seconds!

So, are people saying I should check out Brown Bunny?
by franklin t marmoset
I liked Buffalo 66, and I like that Vincent Gallo on account of he seems to humorously up his own ass.Have you seen Buffalo 66, Jarv? Did you also hate that one?P.S. You guys really need to stop talking about cocks. We should talk more about Rosie O'Donnell's fanny.
-
Seriously. He is up his own ass, but there's nothing fun in it. You'd have more fun felching the corpse of John Belushi. At least there's an outside chance of getting high if you do that. I've not seen Buffao 66 so can't judge
-
on last night. While watching it, I was quite sad since I do not own it on DVD. It was pretty interesting on how it almost didn't get made, some of the bullshit stories the actors told to get into the film...and how originally they wanted to have the SNL crew be in it. I'm sure this is common knowledge, but I didn't know that.
-
It's gonna be another week till new Twitch.Re: Ant & Dec. As long as it's not 'Transmission' I'm calm. And I can't stand the 'baggy' bands, so they've got lucky again.I'm still going to kill them. Cunts.

The Remake TB is not a happy place to be...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Plenty of fuck hollywood type banter. I have to say i did have a pre-coffee rant this morning. Remaking Romancing et al. Has it really come to this?
-
of AICN's greatest trolls actually managed to get his dismal music picked up by a label a few years ago (from reading old TB's). Fucking hell.
-
Found the thread where homewrecker said that one of my old aliases was DocP and Brokebackcowboy. HOw funny.
-
Which troll?
-
And i think Yackbacker may have been banned. Which is a shame, as he's one of the nicer posters.
-
I liked that one. Stupid leaving to go to Law School mistake.

Fucking TB. I think my former account 'Chilli815' got banned for posting in an old Magnolia TB about how bad the prequels were.

What warrants a banning round these parts?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Because there are constantly hostile people who are still here, so that can't be it.
-
Mori and Harry being drunk/and or high?
-
I've posted some ludicrous garbage over the years, plus harangued Harry over his shoddy knowledge of Muhammad Ali, but I've never been banned once.What gives?
-
Aside from my drunk/high theory, I've no idea. It seems random and pointless - anything you say can get you banned without any real logic.
-
Just in case anyone in possession of the magical banning wand is reading this post.
-
Other than that, I have no idea. It probably is random and pointless.P.S. Please don't ban me.

If they ban you, just add a '1' after Marmoset, then rejoin.

Hey fellas, I don't believe YackBacker was banned...I certainly hope not. His posts are still visible in a recent TB. However, if you're looking at a really old TB, his posts may be gone. This is something that happened to several Talkbackers (like BSB) back when AICN did their big server update.YackBacker! Where are you, buddy? Report and verify status!
-
Which is usually the hallmark of a banning. I'm trying to find the old 9/11 Tb where Brokedick called me "a despicable limey intent on defrauding his employers"
-
"I certainly don't condemn all Australians simply because you happen to be an inbred, gap-toothed, tinfoil hat-wearing, outback Pet Pak dog food cannery employee."
-
We can go round and round over the question of "What gets one banned?"There is no answer as it depends upon the mod and/or Mori/Harry.Which leads us to...MNG for Mod '08!
-
Which TB are you guys looking at with YackBacker gone? You know, he would usually go after Merrick pretty hard...I wonder if Merrick finally retaliated.Speaking of bannings, you guys should check out the current Comics TB. Ol' J.J. Binks 4 Prez in 2008 (aka Jeff Albertson / Jar Jar 4 Prez) has gone out in a blaze if lame once again! Hysterical.
-
Just because I'd nail the shit out of Paula Dean (literall) doesn't mean I'm attracted to every old lady that has ever lived. Actually....I don't really like many women over 35.And Anne Ramseys' exploding head my idea of a pop shot? Good lawwwwwwd. You people gots straight up problems.
-
Damn typos.
-
...is a classic!
-
....but I had all my history deleted a few months back. That fucking cunt Capone did it after I called him out on the TB for Repo The Genetic Opera. I told him he lost all credibility when he became a bumbling fan as Paris Hilton walked in the room for an interview. He was saying shit like "As soon as she entered the room, our faces lit up......" Anyway-- it was the only time I've ever called out Capone and minutes later everything I had posted prior to that moment vanished.
-
is obviously a fucking idiot. We don't have Pet Pak in Australia.

The "Catnip tits" post has gone.
-
I'm coming back as someone completely different, I reckon. With a cool name. And I will not ever proclaim any kind of love for Fantastic Four or Gilmore Girls.No way. I'll be all cool and whatnot.I'm going to start thinking of a new name, just in case.
-
anything funny.
-
I bet it was Merrick that pulled the Ban Hammer on Yack. What a shame. I was just reading a TB with JJ4Prez's posts where he was claiming to be DocP. Some of those old TB's are ace.
-
MNG, I didn't see Yack's posts being missing, it was Jarv. I did post in that comic thread though and applauded the comic geeks for continuing on as if Jeff Jar Jar Albertson didn't even exist.
-
Try checking some of the more recent STAR TREK TBs. YackBacker should still be visible.Unfortunately, I think those Trade Center TBs got hit during the server upgrade but I'm not sure.So many classic Talkback moments where lost during that debacle. DAMN YOU TECHNOLOGY!
-
I've even booked the ID. As I expect to get twatted with the ban hammer every day.
-
because they've deleted the Avatar MAN CATS catnip tits post.
-
then i could change this ridiculously long fucking name. Logging in is a pain in the ass with this fucker.
-
http://www.aintitcool.com/talkback_display/24057#comment_1238445He's gone.
-
You couldn't be more wrong. Besides, DocPazuzu used to slay M-O-M on a routine basis. Sorry, but I do not share your sentiment either.
-
which was hysterical. Strangeco was a twat
-
FYI, your buddy Coughlin Laws posted in the remake TB.
-
News to me.
-
...he can suck a werewolf's cock and go die quietly somewhere.
-
Oh, they don't even have to ignore J.J. Binks/Albertson. He has been smited by the Ban Hammer.
-
He's a funny guy, always getting so angry about stuff - like Jarv, but not English.Also, if I remember rightly from an AVP talkback a while back, he is a big Midnight Run fan, and how can I not love a Midnight Run fan?
-
But they always seem to keep their cool with that douche bag, and I'm sure that drives him more nuts.
-
If you give me any trouble you'll be suffering from Fistaphobia.Top 5 comedies. Grodin is gold.
-
that Alien Vs Predator didn't follow the Midnight Run formula I suggested all those years ago.I would love to have seen the Alien complaining while the Predator was smoking on a bus.

Have you ever seen the sequels?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
They have Christopher McDonald in it. I haven't seen them, but I am aware of there existence. I think they were made for tv.
-
I didn't even know about those.Where in England can I buy them and watch them and (probably) be immediately disappointed by them?
-
I'm re-registering as Jakers.
-
I don't remember the details. But Vaughn talks about it on Stardust commentary I believe. A lot of similarities with the 3 witches and the brothers and a ton of shit. He said its one of his favorite film. And one of the reasons why he wanted DeNiro.
-
I'm off to the Cabot Circus Zavvi to see if they have these Midnight Run sequels all the celebrities are talking about.Cheers, folks.
-
I only remember seeing one at my local video store in Australia about 15 years ago.
-
Anchorman was brilliant.
-
There's something to be said for Southern Comfort and Lemon Squash, but none of it is positive. Trust me on this.
-
1. The Naked Gun2. Planes, Trains and Automobiles3. Some like it hot4. Midnight Run5. Bowfinger
-
Good pick. Princess Bride is a comedy?
-
Are you being sarcastic? I saw Anchorman in the theater and laughed a grand total of ZERO times.
-
1. The Life Aquatic 2. Royal Tennenbaums 3. Darjeeling Limited 4. Rushmore 5. Groundhog Day
-
Is it too early for flapjacks?
-
Yeah but you think Frank Caliendo is "EXTREMELY TALENTED."
-
see what I did there. Anyway- Rubbish. I hate Ferrel
-
as is Tennenbaums. I've tended grow a sentimental attachment to my choices.

Max Fischer for President 2012
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I want to see Max's play made into a film.
-
What would you call it?
-
...I'm just on a Wes Anderson binge. I'd probably put Planes, Trains, Ferris Bueller, and some other ill shit on there. But Tennenbaums stays!
-
This is from Mavra
... offer Danny a straw for his Ramsey special (maybe a handful of 'em). You can say they're from me. ;) -
I dunno fantasy/adventure. I just don't find it very funny. But thats just me, other people laugh.
-
He has a gift for amazing impressions. I never said he was funny.
-
Adapting Max Fischers play into a movie
-
Hhhhhmmmmm..........an Oreo milkshake being slurped through a straw out of that gaping hole where Madam Ramsey's uterus used to be does sound mighty appetizing. And just for a little nostalgia, I wanna do it in a train.
-
Thats true. Darjeeling isn't really a comedy. Knock that off and replace it with Ferris Bueller. Adventures In Babysitting should be on there as well....
-
I'm never sarcastic. Though on second thought, I'd put Ghostbusters and Gremlins much higher than Anchorman.
-
Caliendo, talented? *just shaking my head, backing away slowly*
-
1)Life of Brian. Why this is not number 1 in all your lists is a mystery.2)Airplane 3)The Jerk 4)Team America 5)Ghostbusters
-
Where do these stairs go?
They go up. -
...its a lot funnier IMO. Part one is pretty fucking scary.
-
It suffers for me because Matthew Broderick sucks. Anyone else in that role, it'd be a classic.
-
Is that guy still available to play Thor?
-
....and Team America was funny in the theater, but that thing loses 90% of its comedic value upon a second viewing. The funny parts just become uncomfortable and bizarre. Its that same sensation I get while watching Luc Besson's SUBWAY-- as if my priest were touching me all over again. Fuck you Frenchies!!
-
although it is very funny. I'd put it as fantasy/adventure.
-
Who was that dude?
-
Dec 04, 2008 11:22:55 AM CST
I just don't find Python funny.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I've tried. I don't know why. But A Fish Called Wanda is pretty up there. And I'd put in Orgazmo over Team America (although I haven't seen Orgazmo in years so I'd have to double check that one). STUNT COCK!
-
talent: –noun 1. a special natural ability or aptitude
You honestly don't think Caliendo has a talent for impressions? Sheesh.
-
The rest of Monty Python has been ruined by over-quoting dicks.
-
True. The talking Gremlin is fucking hilarious in the sequel.
-
Dec 04, 2008 11:27:08 AM CST
oh fuck...how can I forget Beerfest and Super Troopers?
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Genius. We need a Top 10, not a Top 5.
-
No particular order for me....Animal HouseCaddyshackBlazing Saddles The Holy Grail Army of Darkness
-
Good lawd gentlemen. How can we settle on just 5? Comedy is the best genre period. Probably because it's so hard to do well. And are we talking straight out comedy or including dark comedy as well?
-
1) Blazing Saddles 2) Animal House 3)Monty Python and the Holy Grail 4) The Naked Truth 5) Zorro the gay Blade (saw it last night so I may be influenced by proximity)
-
And that "New York, New York" musical number. Gizmo dressing up like Rambo, spider Gremlin mutant, blowing up a Gremlin in the microwave. Awesome movie.
-
Dec 04, 2008 11:32:19 AM CST
And I don't know why but Parker and Stone bother me
by hawaiian organ donor
When I watch Team America and Baseketball I know I should be laughing but I end up stewing in a morass of annoyance and rage.
-
Its funny because comedy is absolutely my least favorite genre. But when I think about the comedies I love, I start to realize its not that I dislike it in general, its just that I despise almost everything released under the comedy banner in the past 15 years. Yeah Judd, I'm looking at you. Watch Batchelor Party, and maybe you'll learn something son. P.S. Fuck off and die.
-
I honestly, and truly do not think he has talent for impressions. He does one, and only one good impression. John Madden. I can do a mean Tasmanian Devil, does not make me talented. Not kidding, the guy sucks. I literally have to ask people who do they think he is trying to impersonate after watching the dudes commercials, and there is no real agreement. I just recently figured out that his all black outfit wearing impression is supposed to be Seinfeld. I swear to God, I thought he was trying to be Elvis at first. I do admit i recognized his William Shatner one, not good, but i recognized it.
-
And who can forget Christopher fucking Lee back when he wasn't in every Tim Burton film.
-
There is one character he does in one of the Dish Network spots, I still have no fucking clue who it is. I gotta find it...I forget the details. And his Pacino....holy fuck-- I can honestly do a better Pacino. Again, you want to see an master of impersonation? Watch early Jim Carey videos. Unfuckingbelievable.
-
and no-one will ever agree. And if you don't laugh then it's akin to cutting your scrotum with salt encrusted razor blades
-
Yeah, Parker and Stone annoy the hell out of me too. They have talent, but too often, what I have seen them do is substitute shock value for comedy value. Just saying or doing something shocking or outrageous, does not make it funny. I could not stand Andy Kaufmann for the same thing. His Latka was superb, and remains a masterpeice. But his 'regular' persona was simply a dick, and unfunny at that.
-
Unless you were being sarcastic, that guy who was Thor in AIBS was Vincent Donofrio. Not quite right for Thor these days.
-
Comedy is my least favourite drama. And I think it's really suffering at the moment. Even worse than Sci-Fi
-

Carrey's Nicholson was really good.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And Murphy had some good impressions.
-
Yeah, it was. He was like 20 in that.
I missed your question earlier. -
It was his role right after Full Metal Jacket.
-
Who is famous for riding a horse named: Horse. And I can not tell which one was Horse and which one was Sarah Jessica.
-
Dec 04, 2008 11:47:46 AM CST
I've seen Death at a Funeral.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was ok. I thought it would be much much better. Screwball comedy is very difficult to get right. Which is why Some Like it Hot is so fucking good.
-
fuck's sake. Am having a right time to meself.
-
That Sex and the City TB was more creatively thought out than anything Apatow will do for his entire life.
-
Got very slow and dull for about 15 minutes right in the middle, but it totally recovered by the end. Oddly enough I think it could have used a few more characters (even though there are like 200 already) just because it was in that same musty setting the entire time.
-
So, it is pretty hard telling them apart
-
is that the whole "guys dress up as women and inexplicably other guys think they are hot" gag just falls flat on me. See Carry on Films, for example.

and does anyone actually think they're hot...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
except for the rich guy?
-
I mean, is Midnight Run a comedy? It's got plenty of action but I spend 2 hours peeing my pants I laugh so much. Is Back to the Future a comedy or fantasy as it holds me in absolute awe every time I see it?So the only way I can do this is by listing the 5 movies that make me laugh more than all others, and they would be:1) Groundhog Day2) Return of the Pink Panther3) Kingpin4) Uncle Buck5) (tie) Fletch and My Cousin VinnyAnd then there are countless others that keep me rolling almost non-stop like the aforementioned Midnight Run and Back to the Future and plenty of others like Life of Brian, Planes Trains Automobiles, Ed Wood, Strangelove, Some Like It Hot, The Jerk, Rushmore, Being There, Spaceballs, What's Up Tiger Lilly, Back to School, Top Secret and Airplane!
-
That makes my top twelve comedies. Combo horror /comedy

Michael Bay's Die Hard: "Including the baffingly iconic image of John McClane choosing NOT to let Grueber fall to his death, and a helicopter passing above them for no fucking reason while 'Dude Looks Like A Lady' plays over the soundtrack."

Dec 04, 2008 12:09:39 PM CST
I'm not sure why you guys are hard on the comedy genre
by hawaiian organ donor
Because of how it's been handled the past 15 or so years. Comedy was king for decades. Every genre goes through it's rough patches. We had a decade of horrible sci-fi/fantasy before it came roaring back in the late 90's.Premiere comedy will return as soon as we flush the likes of Kevin Smith and all that Farell man-child nonsense away. Currently the best comedy writers are on TV. When they make the transition to feature films, we'll be golden.
-
I was gutted to lose the LP ID. I wasn't banned, it just wouldn't let me log on.
-
Yeah, that bewilders me. They don't look like chicks, they look like men in drag.
-
That's me. I like slamming Bay.
-
like Horror in the Early 90's. Fuck Stoner comedy, fuck chick flick comedy, fuck Apatow, Stiller, Ferrell, Sandler and the rest of them. And most of all FUCK FAMILY GUYIt needs a purge
-
I think for me, the problem with comedy is the replay value. There are very few (probably the Top 20 comedies on my list only) comedic films I can watch numerous times and still enjoy. All others are like a one-time thing and seeing them again just makes me roll my eyes. I just find it less satisfying than most genres. And the thing is with other genres, like dramas, action, or sci-fi/fantasy-- when the films are bad they are still fun as hell. When comedy is bad its like being raped by Meatloaf. Its painful and smelly. Bad comedies are not good. Bad almost anything else are enjoyable for completely different reasons, and coincidentally become pretty good comedies (please see Aliens as an example).
-
Stuff blow up and gritty in your face fights with the Seagals and Stathams of the world, who doesn't enjoying laughing until it hurts most of all? Short of busting a nut, the best feeling in the world is a diaphragm sore from laughter.
-
That is why it is supposed to be funny. If you could not figure out it was a dude in drag - say if Crying Game was a comedy, then the sight gag fails. In Some Like it Hot, men may be fooled, but only one was attracted. Which made it very funny. And at the end, he did not give a damn when Lemon revealed himself to be a man, which was even funnier. Now, this frequently fails, because it is played too broadly and no one would beleive it, but if done properly, it works
-
Maybe it works for you, and I get why it's 'meant' to be funny... but Britain's been oversaturated with the 'men in drag is funny' crap for years, and after a while it just isn't funny.
-
Thats the thing, films not intended to necessarily be comedies are the funniest thing to me. I laughed harder during Transporter 3, then I've laughed at a comedy in a long long time. In recent years when I film considers itself a full on comedy and I'm watching gags that were intended 100% to draw a laugh, chances are its gonna fall short. I think thats a good example of recent comedy-- it seems so fucking desperate. Thats what I think of when I think of Will Ferrell type of shit, the whole movie is saying "Come on laugh, I'm funny-- right? I'm funny....don't you wanna laugh?"
-
I'm really funny sometimes
-
I never saw it growing up, and it got hyped to heck. So when I saw it first time, I was deflated. When I rewatched it, it worked a lot better.
-
that's exactly my thing with it- oversaturation. I now audibly groan when I see "man in drag" comedy.
-
...don't get the love for it. Nuns On The Run was better.
-
I do not like men in drag comedies, other than Some Like it hot. I was simply giving the rationale for them. I totally agree that it is over-used, especially in Britain, I am an anglophile when it comes to British comedies. Brits are funniest people on planet in my opinion.
-
I just said I don't get the massive love it gets.
-
The way we each see the comedy genre. Comedy is the one thing that if a movie I like is on cable, I'll watch it every time. I was able to do that with action and sci-fi as a kid but not anymore. My life is just such a steaming corn-filled turd of monstrous proportions that if I'm not distracted by laughter I'm a step away from jumping into traffic.
-
I'm willing to admit that Wilder is probably one of the few directors ever who could pull it off... so it's a shame that we got a half century of it since then.
-
That's funnier than any comedy I've seen in years. (Oh this is so nice... I just might sleep with the same girl twice... they say it's better the second time... you get to do the weird stuff.)
-
Was a better cross-dressing comedy than Some Like It Hot. I think I may hate Tony Curtis...
-
"Tiger woods to star in remake of Undercover Brotha"hahahahahaha
-
Look no further than The Apartment for proof. Jack Lemmon never received the proper accolades. He should be the token schlub admitted into the CoC.With regards to Some Like It Hot, let's face it, men in drag has been done to death and hasn't been funny since Tootsie. But Wilder was first and half a century ago, that stuff was funny. You younger kids not appreciating it I can understand as you've been fed a steady stream of unfunny men in drag garbage for years.
-
Joyce Hyser - who was just adorable, and perfect for that role, and who I had a serious crush on, or Marilyn Monroe. Hmmm. Very difficult. Not kidding

-
"Kathy Bates is the Juggernaunt. Rosie O'Donnell is the Beast. Warwick Davis is Wolverine. Brett Ratner directs, but only after numerous directors back out and the production schedule doesn't change. Brett feels he 'knows' the material. Songs by the Goo goo dolls. "
-
Well.....OK......I guess. But as you would say, Danny, Tony Curtis = pimp.
-
I like brunettes. But she doesn't come close to Natalie Wood. No one does.
-
Do you think they made a conscious choice to give up any artistic integrity, or was it a pure accident?
-
someone pops up and tells us off for driving a SATC TB up the charts. It's hilarious
-
Not to say he's not still a pimp. He pimp Rock Hudson's ass for years.
-
Same as with Olivier, and Brando and Hackman, and scores of others. Reputation is great, but it don't pay the bills.
-
Anyone ever see that? Its a weird fucking movie, but really good. A lot of Jack Lemmon's stuff is an odd tone. Kinda comedic, but something about him seems fucked up.
-
I'm just going by the last time I saw him on TV, but DAYUM. He hasn't aged well. It's like looking at someone whose gargled sand.
-
and that remake TB is: http://www.aintitcool.com/talkback_display/33233#comment_1607163
-
I'd say DeNiro is worse than Pacino these days.
-
The thing is that Brando, Olivier and Hackman are still respected. People make jokes about them, but there's nowhere near as many as about DeNiro and Pacino. Hell, Pacino himself is a fucking parody now.
-
But he scored some sweet tail in his other movies. Marilyn Monroe would definitely be one of my top five stops in Doc Brown's DeLorean.
-
Elizabeth Taylor. Who was not onlt the best looking brunette of all time, but perhaps the best looking actress of all time as well.
-
HOOOHA, BROTHA. Can you pick my next project? Make sure it's got a GREEEEEEEEAT ASSSSS
-
I don't agree it was for money with Pacino or DeNiro. They were doing just fine and still are, whether it be drama or comedy or whatever else. Their rates are pretty solid. I think with DeNiro he really just wants to take it easy. He enjoys acting and being on sets but he doesn't wanna have to bust his balls so much in his older years. Same thing with Nicholson.
-
I don't think any actor has ever come close to portraying the everyman that Lemmon does. I swear, when he's on screen fumbling about it's like I'm looking at myself trudge through life. His performance in Glengarry rips my heart out every single time.
-
Aye - for all the kudos everyone else gets, it's Lemmon who holds GGR together. So painful to see a good man get fucked by some real estate pricks.
-
I think it is due more to the pervasiveness of the internet, than any pther factor that makes DeNiro or Pacino more laugh worthy. I remember hackman being the butt of jokes as well as Brando and Olivier, back before the internet took off. Olivier considered himslef a failure with regards to Cary Grant, because grant was extraordinarily wealthy, and Olivier was relatively poor. That is why he took any and every job he could find. Money grab. I actually do not think a money grab hurts them in the least, because the work they did when they were great, will be around for all time. Their legacies are secure - ate least after they pass on. For now, they are jokes in some circles, but only with those people who think an artist should suffer for their art.
-
and raise you a "Audrey Hepburn".Pillow likey likey.
-
...the agony of life as the everyman.
-
Yeah, that makes sense. Geekdom existed before the Internet too, but it's more noticable to people outside of it. I can go to any TB, and someone will be criticising DeNiro - as they would Olivier and co if they were around. But the main problem is that DeNiro goofing off on films is, to me, sullying his reputation. He doesn't have to kill himself for his art, but he should be picking better material, ya know?
-
Is she the one out of Bringing Up Baby? Because she's smoking hot. Shame it's wasted on Cary 'let's see how many times I can allude to being bisexual in this role' Grant.
-
Audrey Hepburn was incandescent. But, Elizabeth Taylor was on another planet in terms of beauty and lets not forget, body. She was smokin.
-
Dec 04, 2008 1:01:00 PM CST
I don't really see Hackman as ever selling out artisticly....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...his career was never nearly as iconic as some of the others. And even if he did slightly lighter films in his older years, he always portrayed the grouchy bad ass. Its not like he suddenly started playing the nice old dog catcher or some shit. IMO his two greatest works will always be French Connection and Royal Tennenbaums.
-
one of 5 famous Belgians. (Real not fictional). Chocolate sweetie to whoever gets the other 4.
-
At number 6. That was Katherine Hepburn. Audrey was in Sabrina.
-
Is a fantastic film. Especially after you nearly throw up at how pathetic What Happens In Vegas is. Has the 'screwball comedy' fallen that far that AK and CD can greenlight it?
-
...is an interesting case because he is sort of a parody of himself now. And not really because of the Ben Stiller type movies, I think he would have ended up there anyway. He is so universally quoted and so universally impersonated that he is like a cartoon now. Even when he takes the serious roles these days its very hard to take him seriously because its just watching DeNiro be DeNiro. So I dunno....I doubt there are serious better roles he could be taking.
-
Nawww man. Never found her hot. She is too fake looking. Even as a kid, she looks like she is made of porcelain. Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Wood, two of the finest.
-
Enema of the state (not a typo) and a whole raft of horseshit. French Connection was a long time ago
-
Not even for stuff like 88 Minutes and City By The Sea. As far as I'm concerned, they both have enough goodwill in the bank from the 70s and 80s that they can pretty much do whatever they want now and I'll still worship at their alter.I mean really, even in the 90s Pacino was gold. Frankie and Johnny, Glengarry, Scent of a Woman, Carlito's Way, Heat, Donnie Brasco and The Insider. Christ, that's 7 amazing movies back to back to back. Just that run alone is aces in my book.

The younger folks tend to forget that geekdom has been around for a helluva long time. I am probably wrong about the exact time fram, but I would put it around 70 years at least. From the early self published fan mags, to the great Warren and Ackerman mags from fifties. There has always been geekdom. When I was a kid, the comic book shop was the central place to find common geeks.
-
with unfunny suggestions and casting himself in every role. What a cock,
-
That makes two Cary Grant flicks. Yes, screwball comedy is dead.
-
Sadly, geekdom is now mainstream. To the extent where you get people saying 'oh, I don't like Star Trek... but I came when I saw the new Star Trek trailer.' I would have loved to have been around when it wasn't so obviously geared to absolute jack-holes.

..where he thinks he is dying so he tries to hook up his wife with his friend?

not one bit. Deniro finally snapped my patience with Rocky and Bullwinkle.

In No particular order.The HappeningSaving Private RyanHouse of the DeadBloodRayneSuperman Returns.Hold one, I've just been informed by reliable sources that those were NOT suppossed to be comiedies.
-
one of my favourite films is actually an Ealing comedy- The incomparable Kind Hearts and Coronets. Alec Guinness is definately changian.

"Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-ah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven."
-
No dissing Cary. North by Northwest alone is a classic.
-
'Pieces' is the best unintentional comedy of all time. Find it, watch it, and try not to die of laughter at how long it takes a grown man to place a jigsaw piece in the right spot.
-
Ealing comedies are pure gold

Ohhhhh....was it? Those two fuckers look like brothers. I saw that when I was a kid, fucking loved it. Whats the name?

Your list would make more sense if you put Scarface, Aliens, and T2 on there.

I'll diss him for Suspicion, that was fucking terrible.

à la Mavra 1. Arsenic and Old Lace. John Alexander stole that film, imho, and I'm a huge fan of Lorre and Grant. 2. Bringing Up Baby. Grant and Hepburn were a great team. 3. Some Like it Hot. I would watch it for Joe E. Brown's scenes if nothing else. Zowie! 4. A Fish Called Wanda. The interactions between Kline and Palin always make me laugh. 5. Reduced Shakespeare Company's The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). Not a movie, but released on DVD format. 3 guys doing all of Shakespeare's plays in 90 minutes. Funniest thing I ever saw in my life! It's on YouTube. I don't think even Anne Ramsey could watch this without chuckling.
-
Awesome. I loved that as a kid.
-
Also, add Death Proof to the list. Funny, but not the way QT intended.
-
Agree about Scarface and T2 disagree about Aliens. I didn't think to hard about the list, I just listed the first shitty movies that popped into my head.
-
That's fucking hilarious too.

it makes most sad.

Fucking woefully awful shit. Worse than X3, FF, Spiderman 3, but Not Stalkerman bores me to tears. Horrid, horrid shit. I'd rather make Selleck a changian than watch that festering tumour again.

Waterworld and Xmen are the only movies on that list worth mentioning
-
are not underrated. They just flat out suck balls. Haven't seen Lady or Happening, and not going to, but Waterworld is underrated.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Kid Rock is upset that he can't pick the good deed that will serve as his punishment for a brawl at a Georgia Waffle House.
In a post on his Web site, the rocker blasts a judge for denying his request to serve his 80 hours of community service by performing for U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East.
"Apparently he thinks it's more important that I do something else rather than sing, shake hands, take pictures and spend time with the men and women who put themselves in harms (sic) way to protect the very freedom he and all of us live by," the singer wrote in a holiday message posted on his site.
Georgia State Court Judge Alvin T. Wong, who denied the request Sept. 30, sees it differently.
He noted that Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert J. Ritchie, had performed for the troops before and "would do so even if he was not under a sentence to perform community service.
"Besides, giving him credit for something he would otherwise love to do in front of a camera completely defeats the punitive purpose of performing community service," Wong wrote.
Ritchie and members of his entourage were arrested last October after they became involved in a fight at a Waffle House in suburban Atlanta after a concert. He pleaded no contest to one count of battery and other charges were dropped.

...to point his finger at that judge and scream "YOU DON'T LOVE AMERICA!!"
That shit is almost as nauseating as his National Guard ads which always feature slam cuts of Nascar for some odd reason. Sing it Kid "I'M AN AMERICAN BAD ASS!!" As fireworks explode behind him and he lunges up in the air with a fur lined American flag cape. Disgusting. -
Or curing cancer, I'd have to sit and think about it for a minute.

There are two laws in Georgia that are never violate they involve The Waffle House and Strip Clubs. According to statutes there must be one of each every 100 feet in Urban areas. In Suburban and Rural areas, its 300ft and 1 mile respectivly.
-
But just looking at his IMDB page, he made his debut as a gang member in Death Wish, he was also in Buckaroo banzai and The Life Aquatic!! Plus I think he fought Danny Glover in a fight to the death in Silverado. He did not win but it was close. Actually it might have been Kevin Kline or Kevin Costner now that I think of it. Either way Badass.

Jurassic Park III to that list as well. And I'm dead serious on all of them.
Jarv, you're a limey so I don't necessarily take stock in what a guy from the country who gave us Rowan Atkinson films and tired Victorian melodrama has to say. -
Midnight Meat Train. Predictable and overrated.
-
He was bad ass as Ian Malcolm in JP. And he has the line "Some crooked fuckers broke into my sea-lab" in Life Aquatic. Gold.
-
He likes Miami Vice, M. Night, and one of the few guys around that hasn't tasted James Cameron's pre-cum.
-
Morbie is dumber than a Turkey though, so it is usually a one-seided fight. MOrbie also is symbiotically attached to the former BraneRobot now known as RowdyRoddyStripper, wh has his own nemesis - multiple actually, in Docpaz and MNG. I can't stand him either. We have had some damn good donnybrooks. Brane, or Rowdy, has some level of intelligence, so it is a good fight.

What Node did the Hulk TB is a legend - in some parts. He single-handedly spammed it to the top of the boards, with stream of conscious - and bat-shit crazy titles. Generally starting with 'Hulk Smash toilet seats'. 'Hulk Smash Fatfuck'. etc. etc. And he did not repeat himself either. They were all unique, and some very funny and socially aware 'Hulk Smash Aids 'etc. Jarv and I and others begged him to stop, but the boy lost his fucking mind that day. I think his total was somewhere near a 1000. Not sure though

posts. Generally late at night. They are always TB'ers I've never seen before or since and then seem quite trashed and just ramble on for pages and pages. Its like a drunk/depressed TB filibuster. I think those posts always end up disappearing for some reason.

Is that the Vern one where he reviewed the 'bestiality' flick? That one alternated between hilarious and disgusting.
-
It was as if the meds kicked in

Drunk posting in Talkbacks is awesome, but scary.

Yeah that horse fucker guy. I gotta admit DocP was hilarious on that one. He was so fucking disgusted I almost spit. I wasn't around then....but I've read it several times since.
-
Jokey is paid well under Pillow Inc.
-
I've actually seen worse movies this year (Fool's Gold, The Love Guru, Baby Mama, What Happens In Vegas) than Indy 4 and The Dark Knight, but as seeing both of those movies had superior talent involved and infinite potential, they are tied as my worst of the year. I can forgive Sex and the City for being complete unwatchable shit, but movies with Lucas, Ford, Spielberg, Kaminski, Nolan, Freeman, Oldman and Bale involved don't have any excuse for being that bad.

by dannyglovers_dickblood
It was a Brit or an Aussie (one of the very polite ones).....I think Mavra and Kung were on late at night and he just starts rambling and he acted very unlike himself because someone disagreed and he's like "Oh go fuck yourself mate." It was hilarious. He came back a few hours later and apologized and explained he was drunk.
-
When they started goading that guy who said he indulged in it, I spat diet coke all over my laptop. Fucking insane.
-
Never would have suspected.
-
Oh thank christ. I can actually start scheduling appointments in the afternoon.I have no problems with Node. He's always been sweet to me. In fact, when he brings up The Happening as the year's most misunderstood movie, I turn on my heel and start whistling.
-
I probably could have done a 1,000 more. I was leading up to the inevitable "Hulk smash Hulk smash." I'd love to go back and read those. Alas.
-
I like the dude, although I sometimes can not stand his politics - far left wing, and generally hate his movie choices, and wish he would be more understanding and tolerant of those who have a different point of view. But, all that being said, I think his heart is in the right place, he just needs some maturing.
-
I'm hoping that there's another Twilight talkback. If there is, anyone fancy crushing it?
-
I'm the one. I crawled out from under my rock to proclaim "Most overrated movie ever!" and now I'm going back under for the next few years.And hate is a strong word that I reserve for Indy 4. I didn't hate TDK. I just thought it was the most poorly written movie to come along in a while. My feelings lean more to confusion than to hatred.Anyway, gotta go back to my rock so I can maintain squatter's rights.

I thought it was good, but it got way too much praise. You can drive a forklight through the plot-holes.

Just some mind boggling dumb shit that went on in that movie that gets overlooked because of the geek love. I enjoyed the flick though, I just have to turn off the logic processing centers of the brain.

The gaping plot holes. That's why I think it was poorly written Node.The Back to the Future trilogy has more plot holes than the entirety of cinema, but they don't ask you to take the subject matter at all seriously so I can look past the whole "It's your kids, Marty! Something has gotta be done about your kids!" thing.Smurfette, huh? She filled out at all?

but I'll see how it holds up to repeat viewings. I can't wait to see Hellboy II again.

That you'll be watching Monday night's game. Everyone in the football world is saying it stands to be a game of the year contender. I think they're nuts, but if both offenses show up it could be entertaining. I'd head to Charlotte for the game but I have no more kidneys to give after their Super Bowl season.
-
Is it the Gordon fake death thing, because that came out of nowhere and it takes a huge amount of work from us to jive it with the film... which a well-written film doesn't do.
-
It won't be the game of the year, but it SHOULD be a fairly good game. One can hope anyway.

Some mistakes in TDK that are attributed to being a plot hole
by toadkillerdog
Are simply bad writing. Like the Helicopter sequence, or the Hospital sequence. It is still horrible writing though.
-
Because I asked that same question. And then followed it up with what kind of incompetent boobs put people on a set of ferries after The Joker has already blown up half the city and threatens to blow up more without doing a quick sweep to make sure there isn't a little BOOM BOOM below deck?

by hawaiian organ donor
On the weekend to admit the writing is horrid and he loved the movie coming out of it. After I pointed out all these blatant missteps, he said, "You're right, that is terrible writing."I have never in my life altered the opinion of someone else on a movie they loved or hated. So I was quite proud.
-
That cracked me up.
-
.....don't really exist. A plot hole is something that goes against the established logic of the particular film. Nothing in TDK goes against the logic of the world presented to us. It may go against the logic of our world, but not that world. You may not like something-- like the helicopters not being able to see the burning truck up ahead-- but that doesn't go against the logic of TDK world. -
Dec 04, 2008 3:21:22 PM CST
and the things people complaing about with TDK....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...like not checking the ferry for bombs, shit like that.....can be found in nearly every action movie ever made. People were looking for the faults with a magnifying glass merely because of the hype. Now my hatred of Indy IV is completely different. I'm not focusing on the tiny details that bothered me. I focus on the big picture. I don't focus on one thing Mutt says-- I focus on the entire existence of his character being unnecessary garbage. There is nothing like that in TDK.
-
A while back you wrote a rant about ID4 going on how bad this was or how bad that was. And that was just the logic of the story before you tore into the casting.So logic does matter in a fictional world. If Indy 4 had been the awesome movie you expected it to be but during a fight with a bad guy Indy pulls out a Mars Attack style ray gun instead of his whip and reduces all his enemies to dust, everyone in the audience including you would have yelled "WTF?!"And there were several lapses in logic during the ferry scene. I understand this is a fictional world where a man dressed as a Batman flies around the skyscrapers of Hong Kong, but it still has to adhere to certain streams of logic IF it wants to be taken seriously.If it was presented as goofy, like say Batman Forever, then I would've sat back and relished the ridiculous mayhem. But no one can tell me Nolan isn't presenting this as a thinking man's Batman. And surely you have to admit a filmmaker's intention affects the way you perceive a film.We enjoy the Seagal cannon because it's meant to be cheesy and absurd. No one involved thinks they're making high art. And that's why we enjoy it.
-
Sorry, no. I wasn't looking for any problems in TDK. I wanted it to be good. But there was so much in the film that we had to rationalise ourselves. It's not our job to make sense of bad-writing.
-
Harry posted pictures of his gut and now his cornea? Jesus, no wonder Moriarty is leaving.
-
...I will tear into everything about it that sucks. If I'm going to say a movie is one of the worst of the year, I'll most likely be talking shit cinematography, shit dialogue, shit casting, shit editing, shit story. It just seems absurd to say a movie is horrible or worst of the year because of a few details like not checking the ferry for bombs or the chopper not seeing the burning truck up ahead. Thats really a reason to say the movie is not good?
-
Aye. The universe of a film determines what can be allowed.
-
You said the exact same thing of Quantum, which I don't get. I don't like an entire film handed to me. I like to fill in holes myself. Like not seeing Bond interrogate Vesper's boyfriend at the end-- I heard several people bitch about that saying it was bad writing. What the fuck? Imagine motherfucker.
-
You can not say that what you found objectionable about Indy IV does not equate to what others found objectionable about TDK! TDK had terrible writing all through out. The Hostpital sequence, the Harvey Dent sequence, the Gordon sequence, hell even Harvey Dent being blown up sequence. The hospital sequence was bad writing because Dent was blown up by joker, and should have been under heavy guard, and all hospitals are being evacuated, but somehow Dent is left alone, as the last patient,even though the joker has threatened hospitals, and has already shown he hates Dent? And No police around? Then Joker waltzes out, and no police around? Joker waltzes out and no TV around? The reason TDK is scrutinized, moreso that other Batman films which had howlers in them, is because the film makers want us to take this movie seriously. it is not just a 'comic-book' movie. Therefore, it can not be evaluated as just a comic book movie. Fantastic Four was just a comic book movie. Batman aspired to greater heights, and thus is held to a highere standard. But the film makers want it both ways. They want to have their movie taken seriously, but when backed into a corner, they pull out comic book cliches and simply shrug their shoulders at the bad writing by esentially saying 'hey it's just a comic book movie, so forgive the bad writing'.
-
How does crushing disappointment in a film you thought would be great work out?
-
I was looking forward to getting TDK for Christmas, sitting back and watching it again, enjoying the movie like I did at the cinema...Now, because of you lot, I'm going to be picking over every minute detail.I don't want to be doing that. I just wanna relax with a brew and watch a movie.
-
I don't like it because it's not good writing - it requires the audience to make concessions because the writers can't be bothered. I don't want to be sugar-fed information, but I don't want to do the writers job because, well, I do that for an MA course. Quite frankly, fuck them for being that lazy.
-
and it really isn't one really, is Fox showing Bruce the gear for the high altitude jump from an airplane and then never seeing Bruce make the jump. It's in the script but not on screen. All you see in the movie is the sea-plane arriving next to his yacht. But you never see the jump fro mthe sea-plane.
-
I was so jazzed for TDK I wasn't even drinking when I put it in and I have a drink with every movie I watch at home. I wanted all my senses intact. I was hyped. I wanted to love it.
-
Mate, if you enjoy the film you'll still enjoy it. If what we say harms your enjoyment, then it wasn't as good as you figured.
-
But again, those weaknesses can be found in every film ever made except maybe Swiss Family Robinson. That plot is as tight as Chelsea Clinton's arsehole.
-
That's not a plothole. 'A plot hole is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot. These include such things as unlikely behaviour or actions of characters, illogical or impossible events, or statements/events that contradict earlier events in the storyline.'
-
The problem being that we expected more from TDK. It's by an awesome director, has a great cast, and was about weighty issues.
-
Come on. Who's to say they didn't? If I was going to bomb a ferry I wouldn't put it in plain sight. Bomb-sniffing dogs? Maybe he fitted the bombs on the bottom hull. Who the fuck knows or cares. It's not bad writing or a plothole it's a nitpick to justify simply not liking the film.
-
Thank you Dr. Dictionary. I know what a plothole is and Bruce saying he's going to jump out of a plane and then not seeing him jump out of a plane and simply showing up in Hong Kong is "an event that contradicts an earlier statement/event in the storyline.
-
Again, bullshit. Nitpicking implies looking for problems. I was looking for something good, and instead found problems.

by hawaiian organ donor
And they were relentless to me from that point on. So I'm not just slamming it for the 3rd act. But that 3rd act is one of the most poorly written endings to a movie ever to me and that's a hard knock to overcome.
-
Dec 04, 2008 4:01:14 PM CST
"It's a nitpick to justify simply not liking the film."
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Thats exactly right. And I guarantee anyone can list any action film they really love, and we could find equal nitpicks and tear it apart. When ever other element of a film is marvelous, it seems silly to say a film is bad based on a few nitpicks.
-
See, in that case we (as an audience) are smart enough to connect the dots. That isn't true of the hospital scene, because there's no logical way The Joker could fill the hospital or explosives... or that Gordon would be able to fake his death considering he made an impulsive choice to sacrifice himself. There's no logic behind either of those choices - the two of them stink of the writers not knowing how to get from A - C logically, so they ignore B completely.
-
But we weren't looking for nitpicks. That's the entire point. They found us.
-
I liked TDK overall. And I am looking forward to the DVD. In fact, it is in my top 5 of comic book movies. That being said, I can not overlook the flaws and laziness in the writing that just jumoed out at me and detracted from the overall experience. TDK started out as an awesome flick. By the time it had built up to the Jokers pencil trick, I thought My God, this movie deserves every bit of praise it got. But then the bad and lazy writing started to detract from what had been a stellar achievement.
-
Oh come on. Here's how the Gordon thing happens....Gordon jumps in front of the mayor, gets blasted-- they pick him up and rush him into the ambulance out of the line of fire to find he was wearing a vest. On the way back to the station someone says "Ya know....we could go with this. We might be able to use this to bring him in. He thinks you're dead."
How difficult is that? Its not lazy writing its lazy viewing. Is that really so hard to put those pieces together? -
...The Joker has a lot of operatives all over the city, I never once assumed he physically did this himself.
-
"there's no logical way The Joker could fill the hospital or explosives"
Why's that. He had plenty of goons that could have planted bombs i nthe hospital. Anyway, they were evacuating the hospitals, not yet looking for bombs in them, which is SOP. Dent was suicidal and probably refused to leave so they may have left him till later on. It doesn't matter. and one can easily assume Dent escaped the hospital before it blew up.
"Gordon would be able to fake his death considering he made an impulsive choice to sacrifice himself."
Huh? He made an instinctive choice that led to an instinctive plan to fake his death. That was a spur of the moment decision obviously.
Grasping at straws. -
Amen, Danny.
-
At one point, Batman's dead body is discovered hanging by its neck. A few minutes later, Batman re-appears alive and unharmed. These scenes were obviously shown in the wrong order or just a major fuck up by Nolan.
-
I love how hard you and Danny are fighting to justify scenes from The Dark Knight. You're working harder than either Nolan worked.

36. Scrambled Eggs
After Dent is arrested, he is driven off in a SWAT car and attacked by the Joker. In the most blatant continuity error of all time, we see this SWAT vehicle go hurtling into the river, before cutting to a shot of that same SWAT car back on the road.
38. Uncanny Resemblance
The character of Lucius Fox, a benevolent scientist loyal to Bruce Wayne (AKA The "Dark Knight"), shares the same first name with Lucius Malfoy, an evil and twisted wizard whose only loyalty is to the "Dark Lord" Voldemort.
Note to Chris Nolan: why not just Xerox the Harry Potter books next time? It’ll save you precious minutes when writing your “script”.
42. Hidden Agendas
Let's see if I've got this straight. In the previous installment a Gotham City train nearly destroys the city, and in this film the Joker nearly blows up a ferry? These films are nothing more than blatant anti-public transportation propaganda. No doubt Nolan is in the pocket of the oil companies.
#45. Misrepresentation of Portion Sizes
Although we are led to believe throughout the entire film that Harvey Dent is supposed to be Two-Face, at the end we find that he is not that at all. At most, he is Half-Face, fully 3/4 less-faced than his moniker would suggest.
49. Error Continuity
During the interrogation scene, the Joker tells Batman that Harvey Dent is at 250 52nd Street and Rachel Dawes is at Avenue X at Cicero. Batman races to save Rachel. However, when he arrives at Avenue X, it is in fact Harvey Dent that is located there. What's the matter Chrissy, couldn't remember the dialogue that occurred less that five minutes ago? -
I've never been more awake and alert for a film, but I'm not making excuses for something to make it better. It either works for me, or it doesn't... and TDK didn't. It's not the worst film ever, but it's not something I'd rate particularly highly.
-
Jack Lemmon - Fucking legend whos work is underrated. Glengarry and China Syndrome among many, many awesome flicks that have been mentioned.Lee's Hulk - An awesome film that has a meltdown 20 minutes from the end.Indy IV - Sucks. Not as bad as everyone makes out, but looks much much worse than it actually is because of its predecessors.Waterworld - Great action film that I alone(it has seemed) have defended since its release. Is it finally getting recognised? Has anyone seen the extended edition?Some Like it Hot - Cross dressing comedy before ANYONE had made one. Just because it has been done to death does not mean you can't appreciate the genius of the original. Best last line of any movie ever.Kid Rock - Complete fuckhead.
-
I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I just really can't believe someone would be watching this and think "Hey...how the hell did Gordon know he was gonna get shot?" Seriously? You just didn't assume they devised the plan after he got shot? Its a pretty easy fix.
-
Hobo and I shamelessly defend Waterworld.
-
Except Gordon faking his death requires a lot of people to keep their mouths shut... lying to his family... staying underground until he can somehow manage to get ahead of The Joker. And the point is, we're not meant to dwell on any of that because it doesn't add up. It requires a suspension of disbelief in a plothole that the film didn't really need to utilise considering the fact that it's only function is for Gordon to get the best of The Joker, which could've been handled far better.
-
Loved it. Especially when Costner clonks Tripplehorn with an oar. Apparently, the extended version is poor but I can't recall who it is on here who's seen it.The film's got some unbelievable plotholes, though.;)Goodnight Danny.
-
I refuse to hate on that film.
-
Ah, fuck it. I can't be bothered debating it anymore.
-
What up, yo? We were discussing you earlier. Something about drinking and posting? heh
-
since I've seen it. One of these days it's yet another film I'll have to revisit.
-
Not me, Mr. Z... That be the Aussie star known as 'chipps.'I think I've posted drunk once, but managed to spell correctly while making some kind of sense. Then I passed out!
-

I'm still somewhat shamefaced after that multiple-posting fiasco this afternoon! I'm laying the blame fully with our work server.

Aww, Fred is too late for Batman smackdown. Shucks.

"We're here today because we made mistakes, which we're learning from; because forces beyond our control have pushed us to the brink," Wagoner said.Hey asshole, it IS your fucking fault!

-
Hee hee. No need to be ashamed, it was just giving the world more Therewolf!
-
After a while, you realise you're spending more time discussing it than Nolan spent writing it.
-
Pillow is very hopeful that the Steelers smackdown the despicable Cowboys!
-
Just missed it, man. It was starting to get ugly.
-
Yes, Fred is very hopeful, and quietly confident, that Steelers will kick Cowboys back to the ranch!
-
Now look what you've done! You've started him off again!
-
...in that one? Any movie in which any character flys in a homemade blimp is shit. Hollywood Rule #644.
-
That is funny! Fred liked TDK, but Fred did find the writing inconsistent.
-
Therewolf, Fred has plenty of popcorn to eat! Did not want to waste it!
-
I liked it too, I just expected more. Which is funny, because I loved Iron Man and expected less.
-
Who do the J-E-T-S play this week?
-
Have THREE buffets for The Bates, otherwise you'll be missing crew members left and right.
-
Remains to be seen if they get the green asses in gear and actually show up to play this week.
-
HULK SMASH gold diggers!
-
I know that it was was of the biggest box office disasters at the time, but come on. You got Kevin Costner as a pissed off gill man, mutant sharks, a naked Jeanne Tripplehorn and Dennis Hopper as a one eyed pirate that piloted an oil tanker (the Exxon Valdez, I believe). What the hell else do you need? At least it was unique.
-
Rodman and Van Damme, currently airing on Channel 5. The homophobia on screen is palatable.
-
It's just as good as The Postman!
-
No matter what the source. Yes, TDK was over-hyped, and yes, it had some questionable writing choices, but overall Fred enjoyed it.
-
Harry's wife's comment in the Harry's contacts TB?
"Pardon me, but I have to get back to servicing Harry's nine visible inches."

Fred give props to Kevin Costner for tackling those projects. Fred can watch either one any time.

-
The best bit was when the bad guy says - "Children? You bring me children... I want a man!"Yeh, I like The Postman as well.
-
Just disturbing.
-
Fred hopes there will be no repeat of de-pantsing. Fred had a hard time getting that image out of the brain pan. Still, Fred predicts big win for gang green. They were embarrassed last week.
-
Blue velvet alone should get him in. But if that is'nt enough he plays a pretty good villain in everything from Waterworld to Speed to that crappy Seagal flick Ticker.
-
Later fellas.
-
Yeah, I think Harry's drunk again and hacked into her account.
-
I'll vote for The Hopp.
-
... Rip Torn has to be in by default.
-
It was all right, just kind of weak. They also could have done without the Tom Petty cameo as the mayor of the town.
Postman: I know you. You're... famous.
Tom Petty: I was once... sorta. -
Fred must scoot. Will try to get back on later. Goodnight all. Keep howling Therewolf!
-
Outside of his awesome name he no where near the awesomeness of Mr. Baby wants to fuck.
-
The Rip. The weird coincidence being - I've got the Best of Bowie on and The Rip co-starred with Bowie in The Man Who Fell To Earth.
-
Enjoy your dinner, mate.
-
Go read the story between him and Hopper, it's insane!
-
For that matter, have you seen the video of Rip Torn and Norman Mailer having an on-set fight? I'm sure Rip hits him with a hammer...!
-
In 1999, Torn filed a defamation lawsuit against Dennis Hopper over a story Hopper told on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[4] Hopper claimed that Torn pulled a knife on him during pre-production of the film Easy Rider. According to Hopper, Torn was originally cast in the film but was replaced with Jack Nicholson after the incident. According to Torn's suit, it was actually Hopper who pulled the knife on him. A judge ruled in Torn's favor and Hopper was ordered to pay $475,000 in damages. Hopper then appealed but the judge again ruled in Torn's favor and Hopper was required to pay another $475,000 in punitive damages.

What's up, man? Actually, at the time, Waterworld was the most expensive movie ever made. They ran into a lot of problems because of filming on the water and they had to go way over budget. It ended up costing about 175 million to make and then only grossed like 88 million. That's why people consider it one of the biggest financial disasters of all time.
-
That footage is just... wow. Insane. It seems real, but they kept shooting it - why?

hat footage was nuts. It took me forever to realize which one was Rip Torn. He looks like Tim Daly.

Is one I've been having on AICN since '97. It's a GOOD movie and ENTERTAINING as hell. The Mariners tri-maran kick ungodly amounts of ass. For that alone I like the movie.The Postman was pretty good also, just not as good as Waterworld.
-
I made a picture called Super Mario Bros., and my six-year-old son at the time - he's now 18 - he said, 'Dad, I think you're probably a pretty good actor, but why did you play that terrible guy King Koopa in Super Mario Bros.?' and I said, 'Well Henry, I did that so you could have shoes,' and he said, 'Dad, I don't need shoes that badly.'

....Mailer is a fucking nutcase. Read everything you can about that asshole. He is fucking nuts. Married six times, beat most of them and stabbed one of them.

Its one thing to be a crazy fucking genius, but The Naked and the Dead ain't all that.

In the words of Paul (Pulp Fiction) 'My name's Paul, and this is between y'all.'

Despite our differences concerning TDK. We are still allies. I am confident you would agree with me when I say the Gremlins films are better than anything Tarantino shall ever conceive. Now lets put The Dark Knight behind us and all agree that Batman Returns is the only true Batman film.
-
"I don’t hate women, but I think they should be kept in cages." (HOLY SHIT DUDE)
-
That's a tough one, sir. Pulp Fiction is really good... but Gremlins II has Hulk Hogan threatening to rip Gremlins apart.
-
also had flying gremlins and a gremlin spider. WTF.
-
Hulk Hogan, Christopher Lee, Rambo Gizmo, Phantom Gremlin, and Hot Hooker Gremlin. That is an unstoppable combo.
-
I'll have to go with Gremlins II, for the sole reason that I coerced two mates into watching it and they both had 'WHAT THE FUCK?' etched on their faces, but refused to leave.
-
Yeah don't bother. If you don't already own it the DVD has the EE and Theatrical cuts. But the extended version is painfully censored since it's a version that aired on TV. No Tripplehorn ass. No colorful Hoper language. Meh.

....even when I was young when I first saw it I was thinking "What the fuck?" Its one of those films where you wonder how the fuck did they come up with this shit? Magic. Pure fucking magic. One thing about Gremlins films-- they got a big set of balls.
-
Wait a minute. The extended cut of Waterworld isn't the whole movie? There are 2 versions of it but neither of them are complete?!
-
The extended version has added scenes but it is a version that aired on network tv years ago. Its a duplicate straight off that master. Kevin Reynolds has said his cut is the original version released, apparently this longer version is Costner's cut he put together after Reynolds either quit or was fired, whichever version you believe...

Sorry fucking tired tonight didn't want to get on the compooter. Did finish Step Brothers. It was pretty funny, not as good as Pineapple or Tropic. The scene with the Chewbacca masked reminded me of when me and my best friend realized we both had Jar Jar masks.
-
I thought it was awesome. And still enjoyed it ever time I've seen it since.

Marvel's latest chunk of comic-book pulp strikes the usual brooding poses, but the film is so utterly ridiculous -- make that bloody ridiculous -- that its self-induced giggle fits become downright hilarious. Yeah this movie wasn't made with this guy in mind.

Say it ain't so:WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (Dec. 4) - A fire on Thursday burned through the roof of The Body Shop, a landmark West Hollywood strip club mentioned in a Motley Crue hit.
Firefighters battled a blaze Thursday morning at the Body Shop, a famous strip club that has been in operation since the 1960s and calls itself the longest running strip club in Los Angeles.
-
Oh well, ya'll got the drift.
-
We also gave you Shakespeare, which is what Ang Lee was under the delusion that he was he making. And I refuse to take quality control suggestions from a country that is still searching for "a great American novel".
-
They think Ang Lee's Hulk is a masterpiece. Get some beer, watch TDK, you'll be alright.
-
Dennis Hopper is a changian, and you're all starting to make me doubt myself about Hulk. It's on telly again, so if I watch it and hate it even more then there will be pencil stabbings. I knew Hulk was going to suck when I saw Bana interviewed and he started talking about Ang Lee making a greek tragedy. I was wondering what the fuck he was on about for 20 minutes or so then I realised he was talking about the Hulk. RUBBISH. TDK SMASHES PUNY EMO HULK. Do not debate me on this, I've got a hangover. Mrs. Jarv asked me "is this the new Hulk" and I told her that it was the one she had seen. She settled down to watch it, but kept piping up that she'd not seen it. I told her she had but she was adamant. That's how "good" it is. Anyhoo, just after the Hulk dogs, (which are shit at the best of times), she looked up and said "Why are you watching this fucking crap?" and I said "because I keep hearing that it's really good and therefore I must be missing something". Which meant owning up to AICN. She then replied "But it isn't, it's fucking awful, and why does the Hulk look like a green constipated chinese dude" It's RUBBISH.
-
she kept asking why it was splitting screens etc and I said it was so it looked like a comic book. She got a look on her face like you'd get if someone shat on a pizza and then expected you to eat it. There were mutterings about "fucking stupid pretentious decision", and "shit's giving me a headache" until she got up and left grumbling about "not being able to take one more minute of this shit".
-
did you see that fucking snide "Stoppard Passed on the rewrite comment in the Friday 13th article. What a fuckhead.
-
Therefore achieving the desired effect!Morning, Jarv.I love Hulk except for the last 20 minutes where it competely loses it. I even loved the dogs. I will say that the editing a la comic books is much much more effective on the big screen.Man, The Punisher looks like a piece of shit.
-
to quote Del Boy.
-
Yeah, and his "kissing Neil LaButes ass" comment. He'd probably think it would be better kissing the asses of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.

Because that's like the drooling, shit-eating mongoloid half-brother of Lee's Hulk.

I think DGDB has made a similar comment, but if Nolte had turned into Abomination and they'd had the ending of Nortons Hulk instead, there would be half the people who hate it. The ending of Lee's Hulk (almost) ruins the entire film.

I doubted the likelihood of Midnight Run sequels on dvd. The original has a bare bones dvd as it is. And according to wiki, the sequels were made for tv.
-
I don't know why. They'll probably end up being on a par with the likes of Wild Things 2 and Bring It On Again, but I love the original so much and the revelation that there are at least three sequels out there has blown my tiny little mind.
-
And what is that last post from Jarv about? It's not even that angry - very un-Jarv - and what does it actually mean? Three words, then a tantalising comma that leads... nowhere.Oh well. I suppose I'll get on with my work.

That was all. Wild Things 2 and 3 are just porn. Frankly.

and it isn't perfect, or as great as it is made out to be. However, it is the film I enjoyed most in the cinema in 2008- so far. But that may be because me and mrs. Jarv decided to spend the extra cash to go to the place with sofas and beer.

SELLECK SAYS FUCK CHANGIANS, PASS THE PUSSY PLEASE
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
I think Hulk and The Dark Knight are very similar in terms of tone, intention, execution, and (sorry, Danny) pretention.It boggles my mind that people hate the former but love the latter. You would think people would be pro both (like Danny) or anti both (like me).It is a strange and fascinating world we live in.In other strange and fascinating news, did you know Sigourney Weaver has won no Oscars? What's that about? I have nothing against Gwynneth Paltrow, but how the hell did we end up living in world were Gwynneth Paltrow has one Oscar and Sigourney Weaver has none? Weird.
-
Aren't we all dead excited and whatnot about the return of the Cameron?I know I am.
-
That's just the way Kurt rolls.
-
No-one would ever believe that he punched me. Those old Talkbacks make me sad, because I actually liked the jobs I was in at the time, and I had endless freedom in it.
-
....I just don't think the general public give a shit about him. Its been too long. People are saying he's gonna get asses in seats once "FROM THE DIRECTOR OF T2" hits the screen, but really-- think about it. T2 was a long fucking time ago, how much does the general mainstream public really remember or care about that film? I just don't think its gonna happen. Hype will swallow this thing whole. And then hopefully Cameron will fuck off and stick to documentaries about sea life.
-
for some strange reason. I thought he'd be right up his alley. Even though he'd probably lean towards Abyss or True Lies.Avatar will not bomb. Watchmen and Star Trek will be more likely to bomb.
-
that's the only piece that it gets near to. Or maybe an arsepiece. Certainly not a masterpiece. The reason I can hate Ang Lee's Hulk and like TDK is that although both are pretentious and overwrought I could make out what was happening in TDK, I wasn't bored to tears, there wasn't a bullshit father relationship, it wasn't stuffed full of crappy decisions like split screen= comic book panels. And the villain wasn't some sort of indescribable messy cloud/rock/ water thing. It blew. And it isn't worse than X3, but runs it fucking close.
-
Though the tones are similar I can see someone hating one and liking the other. There are a lot of people that are fans of the crime/heist sort of films that enjoyed TDK, that can give a fuck about Batman or comic films in general. It brought in a different demographic than most comic films.

and takes the series, the original films and the weird assed klingon speaking fans with it. Not to mention JJ Abrams and those 2 fuckholes that wrote it
-
Out of those three, I say Star Trek comes in on top and passes the 200m mark. Watchmen will be 2nd, its not gonna do great but its not gonna do bad. It will open big and leave quick. Avatar will bomb. No one knows or cares about it. People have forgotten Cameron and Titanic is sort of a joke now. The story is absolute garbage. The designs (based off concept art) will look like shit. I can't imagine this will attract a mainstream audience. And this of course is why Cameron is hyping the technology. He knows the only way he can possibly get the people in is by saying "This is revolutionizing the way films are made." Oh fuck off. There is nothing revolutionary about using computers for effects you filthy cunt.
-
Could not give a fuck about Batman in general.

It may well turn out to be shit - who knows? - but I'm excited to have Cameron back again. He's a talented guy.I will say, though, I wish he would shut the fuck up about the technology. I just don't care about that stuff at all. Give me a good story with good characters - that's all I ask - and please don't get too distracted by all the computer jiggery pokery. Leave that shit to Lucas and the Wachowskis.
-
Next year is going to be rough for me. I actually need Avatar to be good as it's the only one of the 3 that I'm even curious about.
-
Yes, I wish he'd shut the fuck up about the technology. Doing shit with computers is not intersting to me. This is like when I worked in the music industry and they were always going on at me to go to the studio to see/ learn how shit was done and I didn't give a fuck. Give me the product and I may be able to get excited, but watching some fat guy twiddle nobs? no thanks.

Oh yeah...and Cage's hair in the With movie. Fucking hilarious. Why the fuck do they think he looks fine as-is in every role?! No matter what the setting or time? Its like you have to imagine he is a guy from the present that went back in time in this new film. He couldn't possibly be from the Crusades era.
-
I don't give a fuck about Star Trek, and I'm mostly indifferent about Watchmen.Is that it? Oh, there's that Wolverine film, but I heard that one's a disaster.Looks like I will be watching many DVDs next year.

No matter how fervently Dickblood may wish it. There are far too many built in factors in favor of it. Cameron. The director of the highest grossing movie in history. And you can bet his resume will be front and center. 2) If he has produced a kick ass movie, or at least a kick ass trailer, people will want to see it. 3) Cameron is not forgotten at all. He has been very shrewd keeping his name out there, see: Entourage. And the secrecy surrounding the flick will have the press in a feeding frenzy. 4) Geek power will fuel the first weekend, and if the movie is good, it will just keep getting bigger and bigger. Watchmen is the big gamble. Yes, geeks will give it a big opening, but general public are not familiar with the comic. It should make money, but I suspect not huge amounts after first weekend. Star Trek, that one could go either way. If public hates reboot, it will stay away. Geeks will fuel opening, but the movie had better have damn good press if it is going to last. Still, I think Star Trek makes a good deal of money.
-
I like Jonze and Anderson very much, and it'll be interesting to see what they do with kiddy films.
-
....teenagers have more pull in the box office than geeks.
-
Why the fuck do they keep making prequels? I don't get it at all. Not one single prequel ever made has been worth a damn, but they still churn them out. Who the fuck cares what happened before?Asinine.Prequels are, as far as I'm concerned, the worst idea Hollywood has ever had. Worse than remakes - at least some of those are good. Worse than Josh Hartnett - at least I liked him in The Virgin Suicides. Worse than anything.They really need to stop with the fucking prequels.
-
...I call it.
1. Star Trek 2. Watchmen 3. Avatar -
You seem hellbent on fucking someone in the ass today. Does Mrs Jarv know what she's in for?
-
mostly because of trekkies going to conventions with shit glued to their heads talking in a made up alien language. It makes me want to flush their heads in the toilet as a matter of general principal. They're Sci-fi LARPers and that's sad. Mrs Jarv loves Star Trek. It pains me. But she hates the idea of this reboot.
-
....how much can you do with that fucking character? Jesus Christ.
-
If the back story was good enough they would have just started there.
-
Thats very true about prequels. Its not like the writer would say "I'm gonna pick the less interesting part of the story to tell first." Fuck Wolverine and his origin. He was a government experiment....oooooohhhhh ahhhhhhh....haven't seen that before.
-
I've have zero interest in it. ZERO. I hope it bombs spectacularly so that people can see how much of a talentless fuckhead JJ is.
-
AS you said, wasn't Wolverines backstory told in X2? I don't need any more information about it than that. Plus Brian Cox! Brian Fucking Cox!
-
...for proof, see Regarding Henry and/or Felicity.
-
From dark horizons.....a site that actually posts interesting movie news, not pictures of the eyeball belonging to the head fat ass.
-----------
George Lucas shows up at American Cinematheque's 23rd annual award presentation honoring Samuel L. Jackson and ComingSoon.net managed to snag him for a few questions.
Is he seriously looking at an Indy V? "We're looking for a "MacGuffin," which is an object that he goes after. They're very hard to come by."
Will Marion and Mutt be involved? "It really depends on what it is Indy goes looking for and then how the story falls out of that, and then how convenient or inconvenient to have the group there."
-
It seems to me, Wolverine is one of those characters who needs a bit of mystery in his back story, and prequels always wipe their asses with mystery.Who would have thought that one day we would know that Darth Vader was a whiny little brat who killed kids, choked his own wife in a jealous tantrum, and got tricked into turning evil.Prequels did that.

yeah X2 spent an hour and a half licking Wolvie's balls...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...I don't need to see anymore of this horse shit. He was pretty uninteresting to begin with, now they are really fucking killing me. What the fuck do we need to know about him that hasn't been said? Chances are he will be running around in a wife beater, he will charge a guy and/or lunge on top of him-- either approach will end with his claw in someone's chest, and no blood. Fuck this.
-
Gilmore Girls will be coming to an end soon, and I need something similarly girly and delightful to take its place.
-
I have used that expression a lot. I think it's because I may have caught homo from that Prop 8 Tb. BEcause you can catch homo. Really. Well those right wing fucks seem to think so
-
Dec 05, 2008 10:31:46 AM CST
Felicity was pretty damn good if I remember....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....and not quite as girly as Gilmore, but nearly. If I want girly-- I enjoy watching Ghost Whisperer.
-
Other than the awful crying jag *shudder* , Jackman has done a fanastic job with Wolvie. No one, repeat no one, has seen the movie. Why the hell is anyone prejudging? Oh, my bad, that is what the whiny types do best.
-

I hate the Wolverine character in the films....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...so I'm 99% sure I'll hate this. It would make me smile to see it bomb. Go the fuck away X-Men movies.
-
Wolfie - I actually did it on purpose. Does that help? Danny: if I see Tommy Selleck, I'm gonna kick his tiny nuts and yell "See what Danny Glover's Dickblood made me do???"
-
would kill all future X-Men flicks. I can live with that. Ditto Star Trek.
-
blows like Hurricane Katrina. Do we have to go over this again?
-
Dec 05, 2008 10:45:00 AM CST
One film I don't want to see bomb is...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Benjamin Button. Fincher needs to get some hits going to so he can make stuff like Rendevous with Rama.
-
I can live without both those franchises. Especially if they're going to wheel out Storm etc after wolverine.
-
Wolvie could have fought adamantium laced Kittens! And then Wolvie would have had mommy issues, to ya know, make it different than the Hulk.
-
I think it looks good, and I'll probably see it-- but how many others will? Around Christmas time? During these economic hardships? Uhhhh, bad timing me thinks.
-
Unless it's subject matter I abhor, I don't want any movie to bomb. I want to be entertained! Dance Danny, dance!
-
I feel like the Ghost of the CoC
-
Isn't Valkyrie coming out at the same time?
-
would have been more entertaining than anything he fought in X3, or that stupid fucking Asian chicken with metal fingernails in X2. Why did that fight last like an hour again? Gee whiz....great climax there.
-
Peace Brother!
-
...Wolverine having mommy issues would have probably been more interesting than watching him mope and cry half the movie about Jean Grey. Hulk had Nolte. None of the X-Mens can touch that.
-
Shit...wonder if what's-her-face from X2...betch with her adamantium laced pussy should could snap off dicks like The Bates snaps chicken bones at a buffet.
-
Shit...wonder if what's-her-face from X2...betcha with her adamantium laced pussy should could snap off dicks like The Bates snaps chicken bones at a buffet.
-
nothing to see here, move along.
-
I loved the Xmen movies. X-2 is second only to the first Blade as my favorite comic book movie. I enjoyed the hell out of the first X-men, even with Halle's bad hair day and worse acting.
X-3, well, it was the weak sister, but it still delivered some straight from comic book action and thrills - and some nonsense, I must honestly add. So, I am looking forward to Wolvie movie. -
Dec 05, 2008 10:55:45 AM CST
Not only did Hulk have Nolte...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
but it had "I just slept in the gutter and ate out of your rubbish bin" Nolte, not I Love Trouble clean-cut Nolte.
-
Where is Jonah? We need him to scout out a new location.
-
Dec 05, 2008 11:01:26 AM CST
well at least Gambit and Sabertooth look cool....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Oh no, wait-- they look like absolute fucking shit. Nevermind. BOMB!! -
...years ago, where he said he met Ang about Hulk and told him he needed a few months to get his shit together, get off whatever he was on, and clean up. Ang told him "No. I want you to show up looking just like that." -
She is talking about transsexual samdwiches and breasts! talking about how her sandwiches can start out as 'he's' and turn into 'she's'. By giving them breasts! I shit you not.
-
Hilarious. She can relate. When her clit swells, it gets so big it is sometimes mistaken for a tiny penis.
-
She went to paris and is now making parisian food. Pronouncing French names with a deep southern drawl.
-
for want of a better word, performance. Bag O' Shite.
-
No way in hell could you truly believe Nolte's performance in Hulk was not good. You can hate the film all you want. Nolte's performance was insane genius.
-
I've read - in a few different places - that anyone who has seen the film so far says it's fucking awful. Couple with that with it being a prequel, and I am officially indifferent.
-
No drunkening this week, either.What the hell. I'm depressed, life stinks, I'm going to do the only thing that's left to do...I'M GOING TO RENT ALEN VS PREDATOR: REQUIEM!I'll do it. None of you can stop me.
-
he chewed more scenery than The Blessed did in Flash Gordon. I'm normally a fan of chewing scenery, but in a film as tonally pompous as Hulk it stuck out like a cock on Monica Belucci. At least, to be fair, he did seem to be having fun (more than you can say for me)and understood that he was in a Hulk film and not a greek tragedy. So overall, I suppose he wasn't that bad. Not like Bana and Connely who were beyond wooden.
-
Jennifer has no fucking soul. Her eyes are like the kids in Polar Express. It fucking terrifies me.
-
Dec 05, 2008 11:29:50 AM CST
there is no such thing as chewing scenery....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...if your character is absolutely fucking insane. That doesn't make sense.
-
I've got an alternative suggestion that might be more fun than AvP:Rectum. Staple cotton wool all over yourself and then cross the border into Wales on your hands and knees. Find the first populated area and crawl around Baa-ing. You'll be savagely raped by about 50 banjo playing inbreds ("baa, little sheepy") and then when you drag your battered and defiled carcass back to England, be thankful that you didn't sit through AvP.I am also sadly lacking in a drunkening this week.
-
As I said, he was nowhere near the worst thing about it. In fact he wasn't woeful. Just hopelessly out of place and jarring.

Jarv, why you insult the pipples and the ship of Wales?
by toadkillerdog
In order to understand what I wrote above, you must use George Hamiltons Zorro accent - or assent.
-
but keep mistaking them for either food or sex toys depending on what part of Wales you are in. Calling the Welsh sheep shaggers is a long standing English tradition. I can't let it die.
-
They really are the Southerners of the the U.K. We have the exact jokes for people from Mississippi. (Sorry Chitty)
-
De are helpless little ships, taken advantage of by bad pipples of Welsh descent. Poor little ships.
-
shagging sheep, but sadly can't remember them.
-
there's some poseur called MELGIBSONS_DICKCHEESE in the punisher TB? This fad you started is getting really tired. I blame apatow.
-
Jebus, I don't get the desire to see movies fail. You think just because a crap movie fails they won't keep making more? The Happening was considered a "bomb" but you don't think that will stop M. Night from making movies, do you?I can see wanting Twilight to fail so we don't get the sequels but in the end, I'm not going to watch them anyway so what do I care that they exist?I think everyone watches entirely too many movies they think are going to suck. Someone that hates everything Tarantino has ever put out shouldn't watch Death Proof just so they can say how much they hated it.I used to be mad at Paul WS Anderson for wasting my time with his movies so now I just don't watch them. And he no longer bothers me. Had Death Race been a box office blockbuster, good for him.Everything is topsy turvy on this site lately. Harry posting pictures of his goddamn eyeballs. Yoko talking about Harry's fire hose of a cock. And Morbid returning to throw his worthless opinion into the homo debate.It's actually depressing round this parts.

spot on there. Why did Harry post that about his eye?

I don't see the problem with wanting a movie to fail...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....fuck Wolverine, I would rather Twilight prosper. Thats not my demographic so I can give a fuck.
-
Miserably. FUCK KIDS MOVIES! Also I hope Frost/Nixon fails as well. I hate them both.
-
...looks waaaaaaaaay better than that piece of shit Ratatouille. You wanna see rodents done right, please see An American Tale or Secret of Nimh.
-
It was a damn sight better than Roth's dull phoned-in performcnce in TIH.
Speakign of Roth I'd liek to proclaim my love for the film four Rooms. "I treated that bitch like a QUEEN!!!" -
Lie To me, which is a remake of this falls CBS hit show The Mentalist. I liked the original at first, but then it became really stupid. Hopefully this remake will be a lot smarter.
-
We get it.
-
I remember when he first hit the scene with Robroy and four rooms and I thought he was a fag. He is one of the priciest bad guys ever in Rob Roy. If I remember correctly the fight scene in that movie there was pretty much no contest and Rob Roy cuts him in half with what looks like a fencing sword.
-
I hope they can rebound after Wall-E.I'm starting to think I'm even more of a massive jerkoff than previously imagined. I must have no right watching movies. I love stuff that everyone universally despises (The Matrix and Kill Bill movies) and was completely underwhelmed by the 3 best reviewed movies of the year: The Dark Knight, Indy 4 and Wall-E.I'm just a no-taste douchebag. Jeez that's depressing.I need to re-watch Rob Roy. Not sure how accurate the movie was for the times, but I found it beyond entertaining. And that final sword fight is one for the time capsule.
-
I've never said that. They've done some good stuff (Incredibles, Toy Story) and they've done some massive shit-pies (Finding Nemo, Ratatouille). Its not that I don't like them as a company, I just think they are disgustingly overrated. People act like they have never had a hiccup in their run. Finding Nemo and what I saw of Cars was fucking horrid. My problem with them is they are so damn formulaic. And its ironic because people say they are the opposite of that. But there clearly is a tight Pixar formula they stick to and play it safe. Not that there is anything wrong with that, they play it safe and make loads of cash.
But the Desperaeux movie does honestly look fun. -
You have to stop lying to yourself. You blame them for all the problems in your life, don't try to mask it.
-
...I'm doing the exact same thing with Pixar that I was bitching about HOD doing with TDK. If Pixar films were not so universally praised and if nearly everyone on this site wasn't lapping milk off the ballsack of that fat ass John Lasseter, than I probably wouldn't be so hard on them. I would just disregard them as cute kiddie shit like I do with something like Over The Hedge.
-
Those are probably there two biggest hits. Yeah they are a little formulaic, but Wall-E does not fit the mold. Its a love story, non of the other movies are love stories.
-
I fucking love that movie. I didn't see it in theaters, because I know Dreamworks movies aren't good. I downloaded it, but it wasn't a very good copy so I never watched it. Finally rented it like a year or so after it was released on DVD. I smoked a little something something, and my god the last 20-15 minutes of that movie were sooo fucking crazy and funny it was awesome. Over the Hedge is probably the best Dreamworks movie, haven't seen Panda yet though. But come on, the Dreamworks movies are more formulaic then Pixar. Ok, cute animals, check, famous voices, check, enough money for a sequel, check.
-
Amazing. Nemo did 339 million!
Cars did 244. But thats still more than Wall-E that did 223. I can't fucking believe Cars made more than Wall-E. And Monsters Inc. did better than Toy Story 2? What the fuck? -
Is probably one of there biggest hits as well.
-
And the deleated scenes. And there was a bunch of shit that they left out. That scene where they are interviewing for a job with the lady, I saw a trailer that had a lot more cussing and was a lot funnier, the version I saw (the extended unrated cut) and it was the same crap from the tv spots.
-
Dec 05, 2008 1:56:29 PM CST
no really....I think Dreamworks changes it up...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
moreso than Pixar. I'm not saying their films are better because I think most of Dreamworks stuff is absolute cunt fat. But Antz, Shrek, Shark Tale, Madagascar, Flushed Away, Bee Movie, Kung Fu Panda. There is no formula there, all those films are totally fucking different. The problem is, most of them suck balls.
-
Bee Movie and Over The Hedge are very similar. Shark Tale and Madagascar are very similar. Shrek and Antz are kind of similar, unlikely hero stories. Kung Fu looks different. Also don't forget Road El Dorado, The Prince of Egypt, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. Try telling me that those movies are even different.
-
Big time actor voicing a cute looking animal or Shrek, thats there formula. Usually the character is trying to figure out their place in life.
-
How you view everyone has either (a) sucking a director's cock or (b) lapping up their balls if people like a director that you hate.And yet you have the audacity to defend the shit that is Ang Lee's Hulk. Strange...
-
I love the first Matrix, and after that...there just okay. Not what I had hoped for, and not movies that I really find the need to revisit again, but I certainly don't hate them.However, I hate the Kill Bills. I don't like the make believe bullshit kung fu in that movie. Sorry Uma and others, it's a no go.
-
I don't really know why. I just do. The only two movies of theirs I've liked were Brad Bird's Incredibles and Ratatouille. I shouldn't like The Incredibles though since it's basically Ayn Randa propaganda. But you can't help the way you feel, right?
-
I don't want movies to fail. I'd like them all to be good. I love movies. I can safely say that I have never gone nor will ever go to the cinema desperate for a film to be shite.
-
but, and I disagree with Jarv on this one, I think AvP is much worse than AvP:R for the simple reason that the Predator in the first one BEFRIENDS the stupid woman survivor, and marks her up. WHAT THE FUCK!I am by no means defending anything that is in AvP:R, though I believe the kills are better in the second one. And the Predalion, or whatever the fuck it was called, was awful. But fuck I still think the first one is worse. Plus it's got fucking Lance in it again. 2for2true help me, I feel dirty talking about these movies again.
-
and you know what, my daughter loves them and gets tons of enjoyment from them.
-
and all television programs to bomb, sporting teams to go bankrupt. Then everyone will have to read or play kick the can or some shit like that. But not soccer. We have to draw the line somewhere...heh.
-
... makes AvP look like Doctor Zhivago.
-
with the Predator. He's got the mark to prove it!
-
mark again? Do they wee on the recipient?
-
I've never gone to a movie hoping it would be shite and fail. That would be silly. I only wish failure on movies I have no intention of seeing and I don't want to fucking hear about anymore.
-
It's called football. Principally played with feet. Hence 'Foot' and 'Ball.'I don't know what a "soccer" is or what it actually means.
-
Thats just the way I describe the world-- you aren't familiar with the way I talk by now? It has nothing to do with them being filmmakers I don't like. I too am guilty of this. I admit to lapping warm milk off Spielberg's balls all the way up to Indy IV. I also suck Wes Anderson's cock quite often. And Hulk is marvelous. Ang Lee is a bad ass filmmaker that can do no wrong.
-
I preferred Lee's to Leterrier's Hulk, just about. Not keen on Bana's performance, not keen on the Hulk bouncing around in the desert. Everything else I was okay with. Nolte was good, his face to face with Bana in the hangar was great. And Sam Elliott is top. Coc nomination for Sam...
-
I know, I purposely put it as soccer hoping to incite football lovers.
-
Unlike Miami Vice, I've seen that a second time and I know I don't like Lee's Hulk at all.
-
Just goes to show, no good movies have come out at all since the summer.
-
Time to get the fuck outta Dodge.
-
It worked, damn you!
-
...its one of the few films I enjoy and can absolutely understand how someone could hate it.
-
...and reboot it AGAIN in a few years just so we can have 3 fucking versions to debate. It would be magical.
-
is taken from the first Aliens vs Predator comic book series, so it's probably one of the only things you cant blame directly on Anderson or the writers of AVP.
gee I really missed a lot around here. Lately, my stupid computer keeps on randomly not loading pages and sites. It's starting to piss me off. -
That's right about Hulk, I get that impression too. I don't know anything about the character or his origins so I don't see any story transgressions. Maybe that's why I think the movie's okay...
-
wasting all your energy telling others how much you want a movie to suck, regardless of how much you know, is just a waste of time. Telling someone a movie sucks after you've seen it? Sure, of course. I want to avoid a piece of shit as much as the next person.Calling Hulk a masterpiece is iffy. I think masterpiece involves a certain level of flawlessness. Any movie with bad CG dogs is flawed. That's unquestionable. Brokebac Mountain is a masterpiece. You could argue that some of Lee's other films are masterpieces. Hulk is a flawed, but fun comic book movie. It has some great things a lot of other comic book movies can't seem to get right, but it has some wooden acting/casting courtesy of Bana, and it gets pretty boring at points. It's definitely not a masterpiece.
-
You're right. I agree. "MASTERPIECE" is a strong word and shouldn't be thrown around lightly. I don't think Hulk is quite a masterpiece. I think its probably 87.5343% good stuff. But to qualify as a "MASTERPIECE" a film should need a bit more than that.
-
Dec 05, 2008 3:28:31 PM CST
everyone likes to act like they are good honest people...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...too good to trash a film or vow it will be shit before actually seeing it. But the truth is, I have heard everyone on here trash a film before seeing it or knowing much about it. Love Guru is an example that comes to mind. Everyone on here has wasted energy trashing a movie they know little about aside from the fact that the people involved annoy the fuck out of them, except maybe Jonah. I don't think he has done that.
-
You could chop the opening credits (the origin montage) off Incredible Hulk and it would play as a sequel. A really fucking shit sequel, but a sequel nonetheless.
-
You might be right, I don't recall trashing a film before I've seen it but I stand to be corrected. I may state that I believe a film is going to be poor. At the same time I'll be sincerely hoping I'm wrong and it'll turn out good.It's not an act.
-
I've never seen. I don't care, thats what this site is for. To bitch and moan.
-
....but everyone else has damnit! My point is there is no such thing as giving a movie a fair shot, so I don't know why people are complaining about trashing movies before seeing them. If people were able to ignore all details of the people involved in a film-- there would be no Brett Ratner or Uwe Boll hatred. When Brett was announced as director of Conan people would say "Well...I don't know anything about his approach to this project, so I'm gonna give it a chance and hold my comments." Uhhhhh no. People trash the shit out of it before he even starts shooting it. Thats why this site exists.
-
When I heard rumours they were thinking of doing an AvP movie I was fuckin mortified and I DID whine that it was going to be 15 shades of shite. So, yeh, I have done that. But, once I knew AvP was in production I hoped Anderson would deliver. He didn't - but I took no joy out of that. I would've much preferred he turned out a blinding film. Plus I haven't wished death and pestilence on him for every movie he's done since!
-
You're a nicer person than I. Stay that way. I'm a fucking prick. GOOD NIGHT TO ALL!! Take care people. Talk to you next week.
-
No you're not.Have a great weekend, mate.
-
By next Thursday - the due date for new Twitch - we'll be on 4,000 posts at this rate.That Dead Snow TB is very tempting...
-
I'm into this kind of animation - easy to see the A Scanner Darkly comparison. I thought ASD was pretty good and I'm keen to see more of Alois Nebel. Looks cool.Blimey. I posted on-topic!
-
Snake-woman, hmmmm... Cautiously interested. Looks nothing like the poster though, except for maybe the closing shot. Have they shown too much in the trailer? Too much waterfall stuff, I think.
-
I may have said a trailer looks bad, or a poster is not exciting me, but I have never been as stupid as just saying a movie sucks, regardless of having seen it.I'm not 100% sure of that, because I'm not sure how you are defining "to trash" but I know I am willing to give just about ANY movie a chance if it's placed in front of me.
-
I really appreciate your honesty and consistency. You can't really associate those traits with a lot of other TBers. Whenever I have a problem, it's your logic that confounds me. Just how you get from point A to point B (like how you decided that Cameron is a forgotten director) can be confusing.
-
If people HAVE forgotten Cameron I think they're about to be reminded of his presence in a big way.I'm very much looking forward to Avatar. In my opinion, in the sf genre, he hasn't missed. T1, Aliens, The Abyss, T2. All brilliant movies. That's my basis for expecting good things from Avatar.If it turns out to be shit, I'll say so, no matter how much admiration I have for James Cameron.
-
I am watching Smallville, because I've never seen an episode and HD Net is showing all the episodes in order, so I am giving it a shot. So in the very first episode Superman is checking out a girl with a telescope.
-
And about the Superman checking out girls with telescope. How come its all ok and cute when superman does it.
-
Released: 1989 Sylvester Stallone opts for some grittier material after the cartoon heroics of his Rambo and Rocky characters, but this proves to be almost as disastrous as his forays into comedy. He plays a nice criminal on the verge of being released, who is whisked away to a gothic prison hell presided over by Donald Sutherland. Stallone acts moody and indulges in a spot of mud wrestling, while Darlanne Fluegel, as his girlfriend, frets at home, and it's left to Sutherland to provide the only fun as the wildly over-the-top warden. John Flynn, who has directed some marvellous macho thrillers - The Outfit and Best Seller among them - loses his way in a flood of testosterone and prison movie clichés. WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKK?
-
He's trying to sell me a mobile phone. Poor guy.
-
Because no-one wants to piss Superman off. He'll go stand in front of trains and throw kids into volcanos.
-
i answered my own question when asking it, he didnt have his powers yet in the first episode of Smallville. Didnt he discover he was invulnerable by falling in some kind of big farm shredder? I watched and enjoyed the first season, but that show like almost everything else I was watching on tv at the time fell victim to an evening job. I stopped watching some great show, but it did cut all the shit sitcoms from my habits so it evened out.
-
hows it going? been away from here recently, on a spiritual sojourn to find that lost miniphant...to no avail. I return, emptyhanded..
actually, Ive been on here alot less lately because my wife hurt her back and I've spent the last few weeks taking care of her and what not. Good news is it was just a sprained/pulled muscle and nothing too serious.
I think everyone does have pre-concieved notions about a film. I think the reactions on here are based on what those films are. Most of us anticipate what Cameron will do, so Danny raging on it like it's White Chicks seems out of line, but it's his opinion and he wouldnt be the first to hate Cameron. I think the real problem is we are spending tons of time circling around about the same things. Like Indy, which we finally retired as a subject, I think most of us know how we feel about Aliens, TDK, the two Hulk flicks or whatever else.
Before Im a geek, Im a movie lover, so what I most enjoy is discussing stuff Ive seen, want to see, and discovering new stuff thanks to you fine people.
And I'm gonna have to thank HOD again. Because when I went to the mailbox, what to my wondering eyes should appear but a christmas card with two asian flicks in it. Can't wait HOD. Thanks so much! You are aces! -
how the hell are any of the Pixar plots formulaic? None of them are connected, that's for sure. I'm not sure we have ever seen anything like Wall-E. Monsters. Inc. was a pretty original concept (except of course, if you ignore two men and baby), The Incredibles was a little formulaic with the superhero stuff, but then again, if you think about it, it sort of turned the whole genre on its head with the family alues and the team dynamics (which the X men and Fantastic Four films both failed at in my opinion, even if they were still fun in their right). the only one I could really apply to the idea of a formula is Cars, which I will probably never watch again. The Pixar movies are consistently different, and they deserve the praise they get. I would never go in expecting a bomb, but I would never go in masterpiece either. They are just good, solid entertainment an entire family can enjoy. And if they can get a message through like in Wall-E, good for them.
-
I hate you for not hating Wiseman. Though Die Hard 4.0: Live Free Or Die Hard, was one of the best movies of ought 7.
-
Has to be one of the best prison movies ever. Why is it that there are sooooo many Damn Fine Prison Movies and or television series about Prisons? I love how everyone tries to say that Mickey Rourke's best performance was in Animal Factory, when all in all that movie was pretty bad. And whats the deal with actors going ALL out for Prison Movies? Has anyone seen Felon? Val Kilmar says that he can't lose the weight he gained for the movie, that was a direct to DVD affair. Also anyone know the deal about American History X? And how the British Director went nuts and tried to sue New Line cinema for like $200 million because they and Hulk 2 ruined his movie by re-editing it.
-
not "alues." Sheesh.
-
The graphics are mind blowing, the story is a classic love tale. The music is amazing, and it has some of the coolest closing credits this side for Seven.
-
Damn Kung me and you need to read our shit better.
-
I need to do a double ass kicking of Transporter Gate 3 and Punisher War Lions. Serious how does a film company end up releasing like two of the same movies on back to back weekends?
-
what thew hell is wrong with us?I have no desire to see Punisher, but I'm pretty sure my good friend in Kansas and I will go when I return to my parents' home over the winter break. We have seen a lot of cool shit together (The Dark Knight, Hellboy II) and even some ludicrous, but fun shit (Shoot Em Up for one) so I'm sure we will go to this as sort of a rite of passage for my return. Although it's not something I would go particularly out of my way to see on my own, I am planning to have a damn good time.
-
That was oddly touching. I don't think it was 'good', but it embraced cliches and had a grungy, unkempt feel to it. That and some great actors - John Amos deserves more work just for his facial reactions after 'you got a beautiful smile, Captain.'
-
I'll never understand the hatred for that film. The point is that the way they live IS the way people should live life. We all race around and rarely stop to put things in perspective, so sometimes it's good to steer off the beaten track and take in the world around us.
-
Is that they go out of their way to do research. Like for Cars John and some drinking buddies drove a bunch of route 66 to get a feel for it and whats on it. Also for Finding Nemos Lasseter made some of his art department crawl into a real dead whale that washed up on the shores of California. And for Wall-e he blasted the director into space with a Russian Space crew, where he lived for a year.
-
This is one odd film.
-
Let the Right One In. Is it ever going to get a bigger release?
-
Not likely in a world where NCIS is still on the air.
-
Just watched it, very good movie. Really surprised, very funny and interesting. Now I really want to see Bolt.
-
Apparently my review of "The Man Who Came Back" got listed on a soap opera website (I didn't do it, never even heard of the site before) and I suddenly have a bunch of hits from soapcentral. Isn't that hilarious? I can only imagine what some soap fan would think of my site.
-
whats the link to your site again? And how did you go about putting it up? I've been ho-humming starting a review page of my own for awhile. Know what would be a real gas would be a review site with all the FOES on it. Can you imagine that?
-
trying to add reviews as often as possible. Inspired by Quint's AMAD, I've been trying to watch one new movie I haven't seen a day, but I have yet to start writing them up. Just saw Quantum of Solace last night, and Encounters at the End of the World is tonight. Timecrimes might be tonight as well.
-
And I will also keep it clean if that's what you want.
But I can be myself as well.
Good seeing you guys.
I had to work until 10 last night and got off at 1:30 p.m. today (I started an adult basketball league to keep the older kids out of trouble for a night or two on the weekends). -
Glad to hear your wife is doing better and that it was just a pulled muscle.
Back problems are such a pain in the ass, errr the back I mean. But you get my drift.
I have pulled a muscle in my back before and I was as about as useful as an appendix.
It even hurt to masturbate, but you know the saying, no pain no gain. -
what ends up being kind if redundant and stale here after awhile(vastly differing opinions) would actually be kinda cool in a venue where several different takes on a flick were available. Even here at AICN, the mentality now tends to run in pack thought, but imagine a site with Hustler, Chitty, HOD, Danny, Jarv, There, Toad, JPT, etc reviews. That could be cool, and perfect since not all content would have to be produced by a single person.
And, yea, keeping it more on the clean side than not would be good, but we can't lose the trademark Chitty humor. I was laughing along with that well before the more colorful bits showed up.
Also, it seems this site is starting to run it's course. I'm gonna go ahead and call it now. Eventually Harry's colonoscopy will be shown up on this website with the tagline "Less sh***y than a Ratner film!!!" -
I'm starting a blog series tomorrow where I'm going to poke fun at the awful films I watch in the wee hours of the night. See my Lock Up rant for a style of the reviews.
-
how crappy do they get? For instance, has Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell ever found it's way to your retinas?
-
It's called Bermuda Depths and it's on youtube. Over the summer, I was musing over a flick I saw as a child, but could not recollect the title, with a giant turtle dragging a black dude down into the depths, as his friend watched on helplessly. On one of the TBs I found a lead, and discovered it was a t.v. movie called Bermuda Depths, and the black guy in question, Carl Weathers. It's on youtube in chunks, so I will say no more. It's sort of a right of passage to check this one out.
-
Nothing that bad, but I don't have Sci-Fi at Uni. I'll record some of them over Christmas. And Bermuda Depths is on the list.
-
http://tinyurl.com/5uv4opI was going to riff on Contact, but I only caught the end. Shame, fucking brilliantly dumb film that.

My site is www.mymavra.com. It's on the site formerly known as freewebs which has recently changed to www.webs.com. You can sign up for a free site easily. They also have different package plans if you want something with more bandwidth, etc. and/or a registered domain name. Herb West actually made the site for me as a surprise gift. I am still in the learning process whereas he has quite a bit of experience in creating websites. Also, I think I've mentioned it before but I still mean it, if anyone has anything they would like to add to my site, including reviews, I will happily add it with full credit going to that person, just as I did with the photo from Chipps. And you can word it any way you like, Chitty. Btw, Chitty, I am currently working on a (hopefully funny) Chupacabra story. I'll let you know as soon as I am done with it.
-
When I start doing proper reviews, if you want to post them up be my guest. I'm pretty good at it, but I may rant a little too much.
-
That was fantastic! Do you write those regularly?
-
I loved it. I don't mind some ranting. It's an honest opinion and if you fell that way about it then it's a sure bet that others do to. I'd be honored to include your writing on my site. Thanks!
-
I don't write them regularly, only just started. I've found that I've been watching some stuff that I haven't heard of, and been enjoying how naff it is... so I did the Lock Up stuff as a test. It amused me, so I figured longer pieces could too. Pink Panther is on tomorrow, so that should spur some 'oh god' laughter.
-
I've really only just started the site, too (right around Halloween), so I am new at it too. I'm just winging it and seeing if anyone likes it, but it is fun.
-
I know a few chaps who've taken off their own sites. It all starts somewhere small, and you build steadily.
-
That is a nice fucking site, yo.
-
I'm glad you like it.
-
I double-posted a comment. Feel free to delete one of them.
-
I'll take care of it. Thanks for the comment.
-
Now it's three comments...
-
I'm rubbish at writing movie reviews.
-
I'm afraid of accidentally erasing all of them instead of just the redundancies (I have a knack for making a mess of the pages over there), so I will get someone to take off the extras. No big deal. Heck, it happens over here all the time!
-
Nonsense, we're all literate here.
-
You are an excellent writer and I for one would love to see what you could do with a review. It certainly couldn't be any worse that what I've done.
-
I hope that's not a dig at me.
-
I dig you but would never dig at you. :)
-
Heh.
-
I've been creating partial posts all week. Repetition is no biggie and less controllable.
-
... the pain of multiple posting is still fresh. I fear Pillow will never allow me to live it down.
-
Want a laugh? Click my Lock Up link.
-
It's all for the good of the CoC. 2for2true works in mysterious ways.
-
thanks for your confidence. I have tried to write reviews for my own amusement but honestly, I'm hopeless. I just say what I see. You folks seem to be able to read into movies, dissect them. It's very impressive.
-
No doubt about it!
-
You stupid skanky sluts who want my money? I don't get hot at the sound of your nicotine ravaged voices. Stupid telesex adverts
-
I doubt you're hopeless. And dissecting films wise, I just make observations. That's all it is.
-
Does this look like a deep insight into a film: Can he overcome his own obnoxiousness to save Gold Lick and win the heart (or at least the ass) of Jeff’s mother, the Chapsticked milf of his dreams? It is an opinion, nothing more, nothing less. I challenge you, Mr. ThereWolf, to write something better. I have confidence in you.
-
Top stuff, man. It's a live movie commentary!
-
The mods are talking to you?
-
It's a telesex advert. They want my money, but their voices sound like Christian Bales.
-
See. Full of subtext, that "Gold Lick" line. Genius.
-
Fucking Hell, doing impressions of the Bat-Voice is painful to the throat.
-
Who dares to pick it up and accept my challenge? Mwa ha ha!
-
I just figured it was either mods or scriptgirl. Damn...there are simply too many skanky sluts around here!
-
Christian Bale's voice. Just finished watching Reign Of Fire. It wasn't very good but the photography was great. Lensman Adrian Biddle - genius. Could he shoot an actor close-up. Too right he could. Beautiful stuff. The framing of Van Zant beating the crap out of Quinn on the floor is nothing short of art.I miss you, Mr. Biddle.
-
He's got a cool normal voice, but the Bat-Voice shreds the throat. Especially 'SWEAR TO ME.'
-
My web partner created a small tribute to Bettie Page.
http://tinyurl.com/5fo8q9 -
that lady's got no clothes on.Y'know, we should've jumped to the Dead Snow TB. Twitch isn't due till next Thursday.
-
That was why she's so famous. Duh. ;)
-
Pretty soon you can all flood the 'Assholes Comic Book' TB, because I think (when said webcomic issue is finished) they're going to review Issue 9 of Reynard City, my first co-written webcomic script. And I shall bask in the apathy and anger of various talkbackers. </p
-
Your excess posts have been fixed. All is well.
-
Forgive me. I thought she was just an actress - not famous for getting her kit off. I only know her as a name, don't know anything about her.
-
I was kidding you earlier anyhow. I hadn't seen those pictures of her either, but I guess if you've got it, flaunt it. Why not?
-
I think I saw a Bettie Page action figure in Forbidden Planet once.
-
If you want a tribute page on there, I'll post nude pics of you too. Just say the word.
-
But I'd be too hot for your hard drive, baby! ;)
-
But I would so get banned. It might be worth it...
-
This took a turn for the weird.
-
Hot hard drives are a bad thing...
-
Go with the flow. I believe in equal opportunity, Mr. Zeddemore. You want a tribute page, too? I have unlimited page space...
-
I like the use of unlimited, but I'm too self-deprecitating to try and act like I'm some bigshot.
-
... big clown hats.
-
Mav's on the prowl for naked CoC!
-
I write web-comics, I think I'm automatically disualified for the CoC.
-
As to who would take up the most space. I want to be sure that I'm being fair to all. Wolf does have a slight advantage due to our friendship, so I will step aside in the selection of the next centerfold and let an arbitrary party decide.
-
I gots to sleep.
-
The best kind, by far!
-
It's been fun. I look forward to our next encounter.
-
It's just you and me and naked CoC. Ha!
-
I've got to crash too.Have fun, Mav. You're a star.
-
That's a good idea about taking reader contributions. If you have anything you'd like us to post just send it in, there is a contact page. We are glad to have as many contributions as possible.
-
Please and thankss!
-
I know it's late, so have a good night. I look forward to you submitting to me, mwa ha ha.
-
Anyone seen that movie made about her? I heard it was good.
-
And I managed to sleep all afternoon. Got a midnight indoor soccer game, need to rest up. Going to try to watch the documentary called I Like Killing Flies tonight, after a couple of round with a Judge called Judy.
-
With the interwebs and what not, like make my own page. But my computer is fucking old. I think we are going to go all out this Christmas and buy a nice top of the line Apple computer. I've got an idea for a sort of online web comic strip, but a I need a lot of new software, that an apple has.
-
Everyone is having a good time then boom I show up and everyone's dead.
-
Did you see the tribute to Bettie Page on my site?
-
Or anybody else around right now!I will be in and out all night, while studying for my finals next week. Just so you know.Just rewatched the original Ghostbusters after doing the same for the sequel a few nights ago. It's a genius movie. I think we take for granted the fact that some guys actually thought up such a brilliant original concept, and actually got it to work with such good affect. I had this fascination with ectoplasm in high school too, so it's cool to see that brought into the comedy genre. What a damn good movie. Bill Murray. Bill Murrary. Bill Murray. I don;t care what anybody says, Sigourney Weaver was a fox back in the day. I rewatched Alien again a few nights ago too, and damn. That tank top/panties combo is something else. I think the curly hair gets me too.
-
You finish Secret Invasion yet? I am only on issue 3, I told myself that I would have it all read and ready for the final issue, but alas I'm behind. Also I picked up this new Dark Horse comic called the cleaners and its pretty cool. There is another Dark Horse comic called Gigantic about a robot in a reality TV that doesn't realize its in one, looks cool but my store didn't have it. Speaking of Ghostbusters, they is a comic out right now, I think only like 2 issues you checked it out? I flipped through it didn't look that good.
-
Its a doc about the guy who inspired the soup nazi. The dude is pretty interesting.
-
Murrary is what really makes the movies for me, so if it doesn't actually have him, just like none of those Bruce Campbell comics can actually contain Bruce Campbell, then I'm not interested. I am all caught up on Secret Invasion, but I have yet to buy the final issue. The whole series has been fairly boring to me.The last issue of the latest arc of Criminal came out this past week, and was fucking amazing. That comic was just perfect. Also, the new Sandman comic has been pretty good.Have you read the latest two issues of Amazing Spider Man. It actually got me to subscribe to that title again. the new artist is incredibly good. Really reminds me of the silver age of Spider Man.
-
and the first sentence about Spider Man is supposed to be a question.I must be the most consistent mistake-making typist in Aint It Cool history.
-
I don't really read Spiderman. As for Criminal I've bought the first TPB but I've yet to read it. Really want to though. Got the entire SCUD to read as well. Not reading Sandman either, though its peaking my interests. I need more money and time to read. I try to read two comics a day, am just a slow reader. Well I'm going to bed. Peace out.
-
Radical comics. They are doing Freedom Formula right now and City of Dust. City of Dust is really cool. Freedom Formula started off amazing, but issues 2 and 3 have been kind of infuriating. But they just released there first two hardcover of Caliber and Hercules I think, and now I am pissed I wasted my money on the issues. There hardbacks look really cool and not to expensive $19. But at the same time, if I didn't know better they look like old school hardback kids books. Check them out next time your at the shop, plus they are unwraped so you can see what you are getting. Radical is really trying hard on production of the comic to actually make them something worth while, which I hope they keep up. I think I'll pick up Caliber and Hercules now just because how cool they were made.
-
AICN Comics was all about Radical a couple of months ago, but there hasn't been much mention as of recent. Here is their site: http://www.radicalcomics.com/
-
I was never a Spider Man reader. The old Steve Ditko days and stuff are my bread and butter, and I believed nothing could ever live up to their stuff. This new arc reminds me of that and it's working quite nicely.And in terms of Sandman, Neil Gaiman is one of my very favorite comic book writers. Him, Mike Mignola, and now I guess Ed Brubaker, who wrote Criminal, are on a whole other level past the normal comic genre for me. They are creating original work with more style and substance than 99% of the stuff out there. Speaking of Mignola, have you checked out the new Hellboy comic yet?Well I'm off to bed too. G'night.
-
Bad films rule.
-
Reynard City rocks. www.reynardcity.co.uk
-
Man, FUCK that. Owen gets through? OWEN? He's a little git.
-
I would review this, but it's a bit like slapping a blind person across the face at this stage - there's no enjoyment to be had out of it.
-
This film contains some fantastically unlikeable characters, and it's great.
-
I actually enjoyed this one the most out of the three. It was the simplest to follow and there was a whole story that we never heard about before the movie like the second two. Plus come on the Pod Race scene was pretty fucking bad ass when you first saw it.
-
It's just an easy film to rip on, especially when drinking.
-
WHEN I was a little child when I first saw it. I was only eight or nine, so the magic was strong. I even remember liking Jar Jar as a kid. And the ending fight scene with Darth Maul is still one of my favorite screen fights I have ever witnessed (Rob Roy's final duel still being the epitome). But in retrospect, Episode III is the best for me. While it still has some of the worst dialogue and acting in the series, finally witnessing the events that would truly shape the next trilogy was an amazing experience. I will never stop being a Star Wars fan no matter what Lucas does. I have no hatred for the films. If I don't like them, I simply won't watch them. I never understood the hatred for the prequels. They are a product of another time.With all that being said, this topic is getting very old to me. I think all of us have pretty firm opinions on the Star Wars lot. What's left to debate?
-
is just the fact that I love Joe Pesci, especially in his Scorsese stuff, and he is just utterly hopelessly misuses in his role in Home Alone.
-
I'm watching the Martin version, and I should hate it... but I can't. It's just too inconsequential.
-
Fred can watch the villans comeuppance over and over and over - and does, every year! It never gets tiring, Fred always laughs. Fred hopes they make another one with a grown up Macualay Calkin
-
Fred is giddy and quietly confident that beloved Steelers will win.
-
Good day, sir?
-
How are you today? Fred is doing well, preparing to watch Steelers play.
-
Watching 'Just Cause' and drinking So-Co.
-
Perhaps we can move to Harry's Zombie thread? Fred not sure if Harry minds CoC takeover of his threads though.
-
The game is about to start. Fred not sure what So-Co is, but hope you enjoy it. Fred has an A&W ready to go! Have a good evening Mr. Zeddemore.
-
Eh, I like the thought of upping our count.
-
I got so far into TPM when I realised the movie wasn't aimed at me but at the age group I was a part of back when the original came out. I wasn't so much disappointed in the film as saddened that I couldn't turn back the clock and be that wide-eyed kid again.So I looked at Jar Jar and the boring adult me thought, why couldn't that have been a funny human sidekick? But a lot of kids liked Jar Jar.The prequels were made for somebody else, not me. I got my Star Wars. So I don't worry about 'em.
-
How goes sir? I just saw my finalised webcomic debut, and got drunk to celebrate.
-
How are you this fine, freezing evening?Congratulations! Did you say AICN are covering the webcomic?
-
Evil. Pure and simple. From the 8th dimension...
-
Drunk, so good. The Assholes tend to review them eventually, after we send them in. Which works - we're not the big-time so they have to go for that stuff first. Was going to trash 'Just Cause' in a review, but it's Fishburne, Connery and Harris... so it cannot be called bad. Somewhat mediocre, but still.
-
It may be evil, but I have to give a film that nasty props. Uncle Frank calls a kid 'a little jerk' - you couldn't pass that today.
-
Home Alone has been excised from memory.Can hardly recall Just Cause, but I think 'mediocre' is a good enough assessment. Strong cast though.
-
By mediocre, I mean acceptable. I can like a film or hate it, but something bland always pisses me off.
-
I've been suggesting that Dead Snow TB - but I'm not convinced Harry appreciates what we do. Do any of them?
-
I wish they would just say so. We're putting more posts on the site, at the very least. Lord knows they need 'em.
-
Steelers won! Whoo! What a game.
-
Just watched it. A fun little movie. Terrible terrible tittle. Don't think it will top my favorite Murry movie. Man I wrote that like 5 hours ago just forgot to post it?
-
Then I quickly turned the channel because if its not Mad Men or Breaking Bad there is no reason for that channel to be on... well Movies the Shook the World is an interesting show. But it turns out that Christopher Columbus wrote Gremlins, so at least he's done one good thing.
-
Anyone checked out the IMDB web page for Gremlins? There is this weird ass foreign poster from it that's weird. Check it http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1285922048/tt0087363
-
why did she retire from acting for, to raise Kevin Kline's kids? What a waste.
-
I mean both Phoebe not acting anymore, and the fact that she's married with Kevin Kline.
-
Hungover.
-
That Southern Comfort bottle was 75% full when I started, now it's got 40% left. I know a true alcoholic would've drunk it all, and straight, but sometimes I'm glad I'm not a real alcoholic.
-
It features Dick Miller. Nuff said.
-
that fucks me off Not to mention that this TB is too big now, and I really want to talk about behind the mask, and the Elephant Man
-
Morning, sir.
-
Fucking awful and encapsulated everything that is wrong with it. Christ, people. Although I do agree with Danny about Pixar.
-
I also watched The Hills Have Eyes this weekend, at the insistence of Mrs. Jarv, and It was actually worse than I remembered.
-
Remake or original? Cause the original made me laugh.
-
Since Friday: Lock Up, Home Alone, The Pink Panther, Just Cause and a shit-load of crappy procedurals.
-
If we don't get a new topic soon we'll hit 4K and it'll be impossible to load then.
-
It's shit. Worse than Wrong Turn. Which was also shit. And a severe let down after BTM: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. Which I thoroughly recommend.
-
Want to go to the Twilight one?
-
I gotta go sort some finances out at the bank, and debate whether I should buy or rent TDK.
-
BTM- 8/10. Top shit, really really good. Clever and stuffed full of good decisions. I saw the twist coming from a mile away but Mrs. Jarv didn't and let out a big squawk on the reveal. Hills Have Eyes. If I Could give this a lower mark than 0/10 I would. Worse than Hostel. Elephant Man- 10/10. Perfection, Mrs. Jarv cried like a baby, Lynch has never made more sense, and fuck lecter- this is hopkins' finest hour. Hurt, obviously, needs no mention. Copycat- 7/10. Good effort. One of Sigourney's best Non-Alien films.
-
I think we should go to the Alien one. Alien is important and cool
-
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. I'm perturbed by this. Does anyone know if it is any good?
-
and Hellboy 2. Because I've not seen Hellboy 2. Mrs. Jarv took Speed Racer off the list and sent me an email saying "over my dead body". Which is strange considering she left basket case.
-
Why the fuck does harry keep posting this shite.
-
How were your weekends? I had a massively productive weekend, starting and finishing two ps3 games.And I watched Zodiac again. It was even better than I remembered and my appreciation of it has grown even more because I recently finished Graysmiths book. It rivals Fight Club as Finchers best, IMHO.I've only seen The Hills Have Eyes remake, and it was ok. Better than I thought it would be, but I was expecting it to be absolutely awful.Hellboy 2 is good. The market place scene rivals the cantina scene in Star Wars for its variety of odd creatures.
-
I spent the weeknd kotched on my sofa suffering from what I think is flu. However, Mrs. Jarv's is worse and her work think she may have measles, and if she does that's booked me 2 weeks off work. I'll be OK. I've had it before and you can only get it once, but working in Education, there's loads of kids around so I'll be contagious.
-
where to begin..... It makes all the torture porn mistakes- the family were very, very unlikable, to the extent that I actually wanted them to be hurt. The acting was a disgrace to the name, and the only reason for it to exist is the gore. Which was depressing and relentless. As bad as, if not worse than, Hostel
-
Sorry to hear that.But if that's the case, you will have plenty of time to watch Hulk repeatedly until you submit to it's awesomeness! Just let the greasy stink of genius that is Nolte wash over you!
-
I want one. But can't justify the price (£350). Can I play my old PS2 games on it?
-
I thought it was going to be much worse, so my judgements were based on those low expectations. That being said, I won't bother seeing it twice, and doubt i'll see the sequel.I've never seen Hostel, and have seen none of the Saw sequels. Torture porn is the lowest common denominator of cinema at the moment.The Descent is the best horror film I've seen in... too long! Probably since Scream.
-
Yeah, it's expensive, especially when you factor in the games. But Mrs Droid bought it for me for my birthday. So I'm not complaining. My one is not backwards compatible for PS2. I think only the first version (60GB) can do that.
-
no more Hulk. Please god. It's so awful. And I nearly watched it again on Saturday after reading everyones comment. But luckily turned it on during the Actor's studio moment- and that was bad enough to remind me why it was shite, so off it went.
-
shit. I need it to be backward compatible. Damnit. It must be possible to upgrade it so that it can?
-
weird double post that wasn't even the post I was putting up. Bizarre.
-
WE've not had these numbers in a while.
-
Do you have a ps2? If not you could probably pick one up for less than £50. I never really saw the attraction of a PS3 that plays PS & PS2 games.
-
I found 'Pieces' on DVD for £1.
-
Is a pathetic, pathetic film... but it is enjoyable. You just have to view it as so repugnant that it's unintentionally hilarious.
-
I'm only interested in GTA4 and Final Fantasy 13.
-
And I don't want to not be able to play some of the games on it. Mind you, I suppose I can always get it fixed.
-
Pathetic, abhorrent, boring, stupid, asinine shite. Dreadful and a failure on any artistic level.
-
Guess Wolf and Zeddedmore are safe. :) Hello, all. Now I'm off to bed, so have a good day.
-
I'm REALLY tired. Later, guys!
-
... an MA script is challenging.
-
is morphing into a good old fashioned Changian joke fest. We should comfortably be able to unseat that crap at the top.

We've got a lot of work to do...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
to knock Twilight off the top.
-
hehehe
-
It's fucking -10 celsius this morning.... A small bit of snow is on the ground...Hello fucking winter.
-
Baby Mama - it was impossible to laugh once while watching that. I lay down the challenge to find one amusing spot within that movie. One.What Happens in Vegas - As Mrs. Pillow said, Cameron Diaz is a horrible actress. It's always baby steps with Mrs. Pillow, but mayhap this will save me from future shitfests like these....Other than that, not much. I feel asleep watching Miracle on 34th. I just find it rather peculiar that the mother would let an old man whom she thinks is delirious and potentially dangerous, basically put her daughter to sleep at night. 1940's....strange times.
-
Have you thought about performing a changian conversion on Mrs. Pillow? That's a terrible list.
-
What Happens In Vegas? Fucking Hell, that is the worst film I've ever seen. There's no redeeming value there, at all.
-
I saw a scene for that where a Mother licks a nappy and goes 'um, chocolate.' She's asked what happens if it isn't chocolate, and shrugs. There's so much wrong there that seems to apply to the film.
-

there are times when it seems it's all for naught...
by just pillow talk
I'm like the Russians vs. the Germans in WWII....I'm taking loads of casualties here, and I'm trying to wait her out with winter, but it ain't looking good.
-
As I choose not to even remember that movie, I have no idea what scene you're talking about.la-la-la-la-la-la-la*pillow goes stomping away*
-
FUCKING JETS YOU MUTHAFUCKERS, STUPID CUNTS, CAN EVEN BEAT THE FUCKING 49ER'S...YOU DIRTY WHORES...SUCK A GOATS COCK WHY DON'T YOU...FUCK YOU GANG GREEN, FUCK YOU. BEND OVER AND TAKE IT UP THE ASS FROM DAVID WRIGHT WHY DON'T YA...WHY MUST ALL MY TEAMS FUCKING BLOW? FUCK!That tirade was brought to you by Gatorade.
-
at least when you get stomped you don't see articles from the leading players in the fiasco in the press saying things like "we're not that bad" and "we're moving in the right direction" when anyone with 2 eyes can see that they're a fucking disgrace.
-
You Yanks will drink any fucking thing.
-
Which is surprising. It's near to perfection- just ruined by the tacked on ending.
-
Pretty much.
-
Someone has to pay for my shitty team.
-
Not that I can talk, that 44p lemonade was foul. The Southern Comfort made up for it.
-
Twouldn't be "tesco special" would it. I nearly got seduced by Morrisons's "Value" Lager which is about 12p per can. But it would be too embarrasing to buy, and you may as well jump straight to meths.
-
Co-Op brand, cheap lemonade. Value Lager is a contradiction. If you want something to drink that won't get you drunk, drink something that doesn't taste of lukewarm urination.
-
Totally agree with you on that one Jarv. - Series Out.
-
Keeeerist, that weekend pissed away mighty fast.Got the Christmas tree up and some lights on the front stoop.Watched Frosty, Rudolph and Charlie Brown with my daughter. And Home Alone. Not sure it was appropriate for a 3 year old but when Joe Pesci gets scalped by the flame thrower, I roared loud enough for the neighbors to hear. That sadly is the only part of the movie I find amusing anymore. Hard to believe that was the highest grossing movie at one point.Mrs. Donor subjected me to The House Bunny. Not as bad as I expected and we do get full backal of Anna Farris so that image was good enough to carry me to the third act.The Saints beat the Falcons and the Cowboys and Giants lost so good results yesterday. Sorry about the Cessnas, JPT. How they could have lost to the Niners is a mystery.And I'm certain I warned you about Baby Mama and Vegas last week not having one single moment of redemption. If you're going to ask people to sit through such gawd awful cinematic offenses as those, you must put a set of devil's dumplings or a firm turd cutter for the men to enjoy.
-
it's not that pillows' teams are shit- it's that they're horribly incosistent, so keep raising his hopes before cruelly dashing them
-
You're telling me, I feel like six forms of death. And this bloody MA... Luckily, my webcomic issue is finished and... may go online before Christmas.
-
left nut. I always have wondered what it would be like to follow teams that actually live up to potential or are actually fucking good.
-
Good thing I did it Saturday instead of yesterday when it was like zero with the wind chill.
-
De La Hoya got beaten like a drum. You have to wonder what someone so far out of their prime is thinking when they step into the ring with someone who can almost guarantee permanent brain damage.So after getting through most of season one of Mad Men, I now envy those guys from the 50s and 60s. Sure they didn't have the interwebs and home theaters but they had mistresses. Hot mistresses.Between blasting pixel Nazis or going balls deep in Roxy from accounting, I don't think it's a contest.
-
Ah, the days when you could drink, smoke, and slap a woman on the tush.
-
Continuing the days of drinking, smoking, and slapping a woman on the tush...This is only "the tip of the CoC" and what it represents.
-
Where can I find the manifesto?
-
All the guys drinking in their offices. Tell me, when and why did this trend end?
-
And I agree.Tell the truth, I felt the same when Roy Jones lost to Joe Calzaghe. Jones should not have been in the ring with Calzaghe at that point in his career.Still, it happens to the best of them - one more fight before retiring. One more payday and that. I'd probably do the same if I had to reture in my thirties.

Too slow. I'm off back to the Alien shenanigans.

No idea. If I ever get a writing office (and long before I have kids) I'm going to have a mini-fridge full of inspiration.
-
HOD, I have an idea why De La Hoya fought Manny. Pride. Oscar has more money than any boxer alive. His Golden Boy promotions is rapidly becoming the biggest fight promoter in the world. I will never say he did not need the money, but I think it was secondary to his pride. Oscar has lost every single big fight he has been in for close to a decade. He has not been a Golden boy in the ring for a very long time. I gave him no chance at all against Manny. But that does not mean he did not give himself a chance. Maye he hoped that Manyy, have to come up two weight classes, would lose some speed, and that it would level the playing field. If he could beat the man considered the best boxer living, he legacy would be secured. If he lost, well at least he would have 22 million dollars. That he quit in the ninth, shows he is totally through. I had no interest in paying to see that fight. I knew it would be lopsided. i will watch the HBO replay, but it will not be a priority. The GMen, dang. dang, double dang. No, I do not think Plax had anything to do with it. Nor do I think it means the Gmen are vulnerable. They are still thecream of the crop. Steelers, Holy shit! Way to go Fred!! They were outplayed on both sides of ball, although the D is still the best in the league. Ben is horrible this year. Steelers will not go far unless he somehow shapes up, real quick. The J-E-T-S. oooh, that was ugly. Sorry Pillow.
-
and take it over. What say everyone?
-
that trend ended? Not on my watch.
-
a proper home, is that it has been opened up to title spam. We basically need to keep that up for a bit longer, then anyone that actually wants to talk about the topic will bugger off elsewhere and we can have a chat about whatever subject we feel like. Hatton should not get in the ring with Manny, BTW. He's too one dimensional and will get fucked up.
-
...and my Christmas movie for the weekend was Zodiac. I didn't mean to watch it, it was just on cable and I sat down for a few minutes and ended up watching the whole thing. Its alright, but sorta overrated. A lot of odd details stood out to me, like the cops never wearing gloves when they are searching places. What the fuck? With an investigation of this caliber, and them being so hard up to find a print or something to put this guy down, they are just picking up guns they find in a suspects house with no fucking gloves? Hhhhhmmm....seems the genius Fincher would have notices this. And the scene when Ruffalo, Jake, and Dermot are all in the theater watching Dirty Harry is sort of ridiculous. Just feels cheesy.
-
I've been studying serial killers for 20 years so I knew most of the story going in and found it fascinating. Plus I thought all the actors did a bang up job. Plus, the scene at the end with Ruff and Gyll in the diner describing distances and using salt and pepper shakers for props gives me goosebumps.Gloves weren't standard practice back then either. That's why investigations were so messed up because crime scenes were routinely contaminated.
-

I don't like reading about serial killers....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...it freaks me out. I'm too much of a pansy. But yeah...that scene was crazy. I liked the acting, and the cast was great. That moment toward the end when Jake goes in the store to see the main suspect guy was creepy. The realization on the guy's face was nuts. It was just a bit too uneventful for me. For a solid hour, it felt like nothing happened. And I suppose thats the point-- but its just odd to watch so many years go by and they are exactly where they were 4 years prior.
-
Alien comes to earth, falls in love with Jakes ugly brother. Fights crime as a mask wearing prostitute. A love story
-
That was by far the worse game the NY football Giants played this year. The offense looked horrendous. If I'm a Giants fan, I'm not worried. As a Jets fan, I'm very worried. Losing to supposedly inferior competition two weeks in a row...not good.
-
heh...

Reading about the investigation helps to appreciate
by hawaiian organ donor
the movie. I mean, you see just how many years go by between clues. Murders happen, then nothing. Couple of years go by then the Chronicle receives a letter. Few more years go by then another letter. It was on and off for decades. And Fincher captured that lack of forward momentum in the case wonderfully.Sadly, I studied the crap out of serial killers for my long abandoned great crime novel. Back in the day when you needed to look stuff up on microfiche and dusty library books. And I took criminal psyche in second year.
-
That is all.
-
I'm not worried about G-Men. Eagles are a good defensive team, and they wanted it more. The Cessnas (good one) are in serious trouble. The Pats are lurking.
-
The BCS has less credibility than Bush.Being an ACC guy, I can't help but be pleased though.
-
Why not!
-
We are on baby countdown. Mrs Kloipy was due on saturday but still no baby. I'll let you guys know when it happens! Take care my friends!
-
sounds good. This is our biggest since the Outlander TB. Speaking of Outlander where is it? Figured I would have seen it by now?
-
best wishes with the baby! I;ll keep your family in my prayers. Let us know how it turns out!
-
Not unusual at all Kloipy. We'll see about the second one if that holds true or not.
-
but the fucking assholes won't ever change it. Use the fucking bowls as playoff games, alternating them so that they take turns with the championship game. Cut down the season to 10 or 11 games, get rid of the stupid fucking conference championship games, and viola! Problem fucking solved. And stretching the fucking bowl games out like they are now is fucking ridiculous. Fuck you tv. If you must keep the current format, I want my zillion bowl games over 2 days, New Year's eve and New Year's day. I must have the ability to flip to 5 different games at once. I must.
-
I'm just ready to meet this little girl! Pillow, when is her due date? Congrats again man
also I must submit for comdies, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, I just watched it for like the 30th time the other night and it is still hilarious -
just an excuse for more brutality and I feel that i am one of the only people who hates Alexander Aja's films. High Tension was a piece of crap. Also I really like BTM too. The guy who played Leslie did a good job, though he did remind me of a young Jim Carey sometimes. But it was a fun little flick. Again, take care guys, hope to see you soon
-
what are you guys thoughts on this year of movies? I'm curious about the Oscar stuff, mostly because I think the pickings are pretty slim as the year winds down. I obviously haven't seen everything, but I think Slumdog Millionaire has a really good shot at it, despite being seemingly undersold at the moment. And I think Dark Knight stands a better chance now, than before, at maybe even picking up a best picture nod. Though, if it picks up best screenplay, I imagine HOD might wig out and try to invade the Academy with a claw hammer.
-
Wow. Majorly disappointed. Talk about overrated. Adamson went even more NUTS with the religous allegory than he did in the previous film. I think I just hate Narnia. Fuck the Jesus lion lording over everyone's lives.
-
I went looking for TDK today, and nowhere was selling it. If that isn't a cosmic 'don't buy it', I don't know what is.
-
I was gonna give that a look too.Kloipy, June 2nd.
-
Life will never be the same again after the wee one is abornin!
-
Honestly, Jonah, this has been a very weak year. Nothing jumps out at me.
-
I saw Red over the weekend, with Brian Cox. Scenery looked familiar and later learned a good bit of it was filmed here in Baltimore and outlying areas.
It was worth seeing for Cox alone(no giggling guys) and the plot surrounds his dog being shot by a group of no account teens, and then seeking basic justice for it, and events spiraling out of control since the two fathers involved are played by Robert Englund(great at playing creeps) and Tom Sizemore (great at being a creep). It's not the greatest film in the world, but it was intense enough, and Brian Cox good enough in the role, that it was quite watchable. I reccomend it, and it's one more role that makes BC worthy of a COC nomination.
I will warn you, though, despite not being graphic the scene where they shoot "Red", the dog, is gut wrenching and sorrowful. -
I'm probably way behind on all the Oscar potential movies. I truly loved The Visitor and TDK. Um...what are my other choices?
-
I didn't care much for the first film, just didnt feel that it captured any of it's story in a proper dramatic fashion. Prince Caspian on the other hand, was a fun, epic fantasy film with good characters, well staged scenes and a story that had dramatic interest. When you can sell the audience a swashbuckling mouse, then you have done your job well.
And it's not like these films are religious tracts. They draw from the story of Christ, and christian belief for their allegory. As a film, it's not very offensive. -
because after all, it can't be worse than what my eyes witnessed this weekend...*shudder*
-
Richard Jenkins MUST get a nomination! I LOVE the Visitor, and it's unlikely that little film will get a full blown best picture, but Jenkins should be recognized.
The choices? Hmmm. Alot of the stuff I love won't be nominated. For instance, I'd nominate The Fall in a heartbeat, but it's not mainstream, and due to it's odd shooting schedule, might be disqualified this year anyway.
Wall-E would be a shoe-in I'd think, but that ghettoized animated category probably took care of it.
There are those unknown quantities like Wrestler, Doubt, Benjamin Button, Frost Nixon. Expect 2 or 3 contenders to come from that. Milk maybe. Again, nothing I've seen. RDJ is sure to get a nom from IM or Tropic Thunder, me thinks.
Like I said, I'd be behind Slumdog Millionaire for now. -
I think I'll watch that later. Fucking bad-ass!
-
Yeah, I was nervous as hell to meet my little girl. My wife tripped on the curb as we were going into Target and landed on her belly so we took her to the hospital. As seeing she was only a week from her due date and already there in a room, they induced labor so Donor Jr. arrived early.Don't be fooled by all the BS you see in the movies though. The room isn't full of attendants and there's no blanket covering the nether region. It'll be just you and one nurse, each holding your wife's legs and that cocksucker doctor will keep popping in and out during the delivery, only staying for good when the baby crowns.Meanwhile, you're staring up at the ceiling the whole time because looking down at delivery central is NOT an option and if you turn your head back there's a mirror because that bitch nurse asked your wife if she would like to see the delivery and ignored your passionate objections.It's a horror show right up until both your wife and baby are wrapped up and you can safely look in any direction without passing out and banging your head on a tray of instruments on the way down.
-
...and like anything, the Christ stuff is there if you want it to be there. I don't consider anything involving resurrection to be an allegory for Jesus. That may have been the intention, sure....but you don't have to accept that if you don't want to. It goes along with my theory of Christmas and those that want to call it a "Holiday Celebration" or some bullshit. Just because CHRIST is in the name, it doesn't have to have anything to do with Jesus if you don't want it to. I know people from various religions that celebrate Christmas just like I do, as a winter, gift-giving holiday with tons of Santa imagery. Thats how I take the Narnia films...you don't HAVE to think of it like that.
-
while the film isn't christ centered, there is a significant portion of the movie that revolves around character's actions based on their faith/reliance upon Aslan. Although, this could be seen as a coming of age film wherein children are left without a father figure, and must make decisions based on what he would have wanted, and how they are custodians of that which is left them. Responsibility, and right thinking, even in a situation involving martial action seemed to be the themes of the day, not "believe in the lion".
-
I got the movies you sent. Thanks so much! I read about The Assembly. Sounds awesome. The other was something or another 1944. What's that one?
My wife and I appreciated the card. Thanks. -
I would say that is the central theme of the films-- the importance of having faith. It doesn't have to be specific, it is just faith in something is good. The only part in Caspian I really couldn't stand was the end when Aslan popped up. It just seems so predictable and formulaic when he shows up at the end again to save the day. Really takes the magic away. I thought it should be more of a Obi-Wan saying "Use the force Luke" sort of internal thing. I don't like when he is just standing there and walking around like a regular dude.
-
Adamson crams the religion down your throat in Caspian. It's nauseating. When I read the book I barely detected any allegory. Watching Caspian was like attending Sunday school.
It isn't just the heavy handed allegory though, I had several problems with the film. I thought the action was noticeably worse than TLTWATW's. It was flat and uninspired and didn't lack the dramatic heft of the final battle in the previous film with Edmond's redemption and peter's rise as a leader. Not even close.
The Talmarine's were (of course) olive-skinned, bearded clones with heavy accents. Have we not moved beyond that shit?
Eddie Izzard as Reepicheep was a total disaster for me. Distracting and annoying and I like Izzard.
The only decent thing about the film was peter Dinklage as Trumpkin. Dinklage needs to be added to the CoC right now if he hasn't been already. The man is a Dwarf PIMP and totally owned in every scene of this movie. -

I haven't seen anything released after the summer
by hawaiian organ donor
So I don't know what the Oscar season fare is like, but from what I have seen this year I'd say my five favorite films so far are: Rambo, In Bruges, Speed Racer, The Fall and Kung Fu Panda, with Mongol and Tropic Thunder in tow.I haven't seen The Visitor, Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler, Rachel Getting Married or Man On Wire yet and all are said to be good enough that they could unseat everything in my top five.
-
isnt much different than Gandalf showing up in Two Towers at Helm's Deep. Both rather anticlimatic, but I think the magic is retained. A hairs-breadth rescue can be cool, especially in fantasy since it's unrealistic almost everywhere else.
Also, this time it was actually cool to watch trees attack an army, right Danny-boy? -
Dec 08, 2008 11:46:41 AM CST
I don't think Adamson gives a shit about the allegory....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
What a terrific movie!
Let's not forget Warwick is in Prince Caspian too. Hobo, it feels like you and I watched two different movies, but that's ok. Can't always agree. -
Both stand zero chance of being nominated here, but both were some of the best foreign output I've seen this year. Let the Right One In was pretty good too. And Timecrimes. That one is a mini-masterpiece. Just saw it. Amazing.
-
You're welcome for the card. Just goes to show the Donor cares.And the other movie is that Finnish war movie I was telling you about. So I'm trying to change it up. It's the new Asian-European film kits.My only issue with Prince Caspian is the same as Danny. Frickin Aslan shows up and wipes out the enemy with zero tension. Which is a shame because they were really building up that tense "last stand" stuff well. But the little girl runs across Aslan in the middle of nowhere and I was momentarily lost.
-
...I think the trees in Caspian took a dump on the Ents in Towers. These were violent, tough motherfuckers, not senile old men.
But I think LOTR handles Gandalf better than Narnia handles Aslan. I despise most of Two Towers, but Gandalf flying down that hill on horseback with an army behind him and the sun rising is pure magic. Caspian didn't have any cool Aslan moments like that. The first film did though. I think overall Caspian is a much better film, but Wardrobe handled Aslan better. I dunno.....I just think he should have been a spirit or something after he comes back for the final battle in Wardrobe. I know that is giving a finger to the books, but it just feels goofy to me for him to keep coming back and walking around with the kids. What the hell is he? It really bothers me how he has all the answers but he refuses to tell them even if it will keep them out of harms ways. I don't like that "I know, but you need to figure it out for yourself" crap, but don't worry I'll be back at the end to save the day and look good. Aslan just feels kinda arrogant and prickish. -
Liam Neeson is a horrible mentor. He helps create Darth Vader He dies stupidly so that Leo can grow up to avenge him in GONY He ends up creating the one guy in Gotham who can stop his evil plan. And in Narnia, as Danny says, he never tells anyone anything that'll allow them to help themselves.
-
and you are right, there is no tension upon Aslan's return. It helps though, that the trees and the river-god are there. Although that's the point when it all seems very LOTRish. And the odd thing is those elements are more animism than christianity. In the book, the trees and the river god are the more cheerfully pagan chunks of the book.
-
he is treated only as an allegory. It's why his death in the first film had no power to it. We didnt understand his care for his people, or why he would die for Edmund or any other thing. The witch was a character. Aslan was not.
-
....cause I'm thinking of Obi-Wan and that "Vader did kill your father, from a certain point of view." Fuck that. Ewan would have never pulled that shit. Alec Guinness was a royal cunt.
-
Dec 08, 2008 12:06:18 PM CST
I think Aslan's death was epic in the first....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...when he is walking up those steps and all the nasty creatures are taunting him. That scene was insane. And his return was kick ass. I bought all of it. -
It ties back to a lot of reprehensible people. Their ideas were crazy, but they were good public speakers. Can you imagine the shit that would have happened if Alec Guinness, in his day, went for Political Power?
-
The last battle is greatly expanded and is tied into the beginnign of the film more in a betetr way.
-
because I thought the pacing in the last third is what marred the first Narnia for me. I'd be up for watching an EE if it helped. Im a sucker for EEs though. I even own the Kong EE.
-
Er, never thought I'd type that as a subject heading...but...Kloipy, it's much as Hawaiian said, but for me, I was actually impervious to the actual birth and watched the whole thing. The whole thing was a bit surreal I suppose, but in Mrs. Pillow's case, rather quick. We were only at the hospital for 4 hours before out popped little pillow.
-
He tells the gang he'll be back with an army. So we know he's going to return. And when he returns there's lots of blunt force trauma. Not magically waving his finger around to make bad things happen to the orcs.I have The Visitor at home and I'll be watching it this week.
-
Sorry to vent, but I was watching some clips online and that is one blandly shot program.
-
He inflicts a lot of fucking pain with a sword. I always laugh at that....he can use some spell with his staff to know down 20 guys at a time with a force push, but instead the old bastard would rather hack some Orc's arms off with his steel. Bad fucking ass.

one of the best things about BTM was the fucking very, very intelligent decision to ditch the documentary for the last 3rd. They would have been totally justified keeping it, but hell, when it cut out to being a proper film it managed to avoid all the problems that plague the likes of Diary of The Dead, blair witch project etc (put the fucking camera down, douchebag). It was totally a good decision- the point had been made in the Library and other places- if they'd kept it up it would have been overkill. Top marks. On that note, I'm outta work. Ciao till the morning guys.
-
Good luck.
-
Gandalf does alot more of that, magically leaving and showing up again. I think it's chalked up to the "it's for kids" angle, where the magical caretaker can do things like that, and it's ok. LOTR called for Gandalf to be more of a main player.
Love that scene in ROTK, where they charge and you see Gandalf of all people pulling ahead, sword waving high. -
Bland my ass.
-
No ifs, ands, or buts about it. He knows what has to be done: fight 'em with tooth and nail, show those stupid pansy Gondorians how to fight and not run away.
-
Agree to differ, it's one of the few times where my mind had a vision of what it'd end up as... and decided not to bother with a second of it.
-
during the final battle at the gates in ROTK when they all charge "For Frodo" and there is that skinny ass Gandalf double running 90 mph. Looks cheesy.
-
at the castle relaxing with his feet up getting blown by some wenches. He's using magic to make it appear like he's at the Gates of Mordor.

I think I should book everything wrong for my company for year-end, make sure all the schedules I give to the auditors don't tie out to the ledger, don't wear pants, grope the few hot women in the office, and take a dump on the president's desk. And then request a big fat bonus. Un-fucking-believable.
-
I can't get over that self-indulgent wankfest of a scene where Legolas takes down like thirty-five guys... for the sole reason of giving Orlando Bloom something to do.
-
faults and all, and that wankfest moment got quite a cheer at the theater(all 3 times we saw it).
So the big dillemna this week is Dark Knight or Lost season 4 first? -
Despite Lost bugging me, I'd go for that first. It'll set you up for S5.
-
TDK may give you buyers remorse.Oddly, I saw ROTK three times in the theater too. Last movie I saw in the theater more than once I think.
-
I saw Iron Man twice in four days. Same with Serenity.
-
No fucking way. Did it put you to sleep the second time?
-
Dec 08, 2008 3:59:53 PM CST
I didn't really agree with Legolas sentiment before...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....but when I see the LOTR films now I really wonder "What the fuck is he there for?" I feel the same way about the Ents, that blonde chick that Aragorn wants to bang that looks like his dear Aunt Deidre, and a slew of other characters in those films.

The real life lead detective Inspector David Toschi, played by Mark Ruffalo, is the person Harry Calahan is based on. That's why the first Dirty Harry movie is like the Zodiac story.Even though Graysmiths book isn't all that good or accurate, the friggin movie was one of the best of last year.

You had THAT much fun with Iron Man? Jesus. I like it. But I like it the same way I like Fantastic Four 2. They basically take place in the same world to me...

Yeah, I know the connection. I just thought it was corny they were all there at the same time. Seemed a little elementary for Fincher to do that.
-
Yeah, I did. And I hate the Iron Man comics. I just thought the film was fun. It surprised me with how fun it was, actually - but at the same time, refrained from being as U rated goofy as FF

Too much booze, coke, cock, hep C and plastic surgery. Not a good long term plan to keep your looks intact.

Booze, coke, hep c and plastic surgery is one thing... but the kind of cock she's had? Jeez, fahgedaboutiT

YEah, I've tried to watch birthing videos to prepare myself for what's coming. At least I'm not going into this without any idea haha. I'll let you all know when she's here
GOtta agree that Fringe is awesome!
I'm really not sure what I'd suggest as the best movie of the year as I didn't get to see a ton of movies this year.
Again talk to you all soon my friends -
Anyone else think that has no equal in horrifically bad Ahnuld films with ridiculously quotable dialogue?

Just got politely spurned by this woman I was interested in. Shame I'm hungover and have a bank meeting tomorrow, if I wasn't and didn't I'd go drink some Southern Comfort.

and raise you former pornstar Jenna Jameson, who is only 34 years old:

The Demon in a Bottle comics series was the best. (Iron Man #120-128). That is the famous storyline where Stark turns into an alcoholic and then has to choose between the bottle or doing the right thing. Ground breaking stuff.
-
I've gotta buy those at some point. Been gorging myselves on the old Stan Lee issues to try and get inspiration for some spec writing.

is anybody still here?

They just released it in a hardcover form. It is a pretty good collection. Here is a review of it. http://tinyurl.com/5s8x59

Howdy.

but haven't been able to find it anywhere. Excitement abounds.
-
Nice fricking review. That's on my list now, definitely.
-
I think that's what a lot of people were expecting Iron Man to be. They will probably try to use that storyline in a sequel. The hardcover collection goes for about $25, so you may want to wait until you can find it in a bargain bin or something.

Its Pixar's year. If Wall-E doesn't walk away with 4 or more Oscars then its official the Academy just doesn't respect animation. Though TDK and all its Die Hardness only took what 2 years to make? Wall-E has been in development for probably 8 or more years. The dedication to their films Pixar shows needs to be noticed. Wall-E won't get or be allowed to be nominated for best film since the academy decided to pigeon hole that, but haven't made a category for musical or comedy? But it'll get best animation, about should also get best score, best song, best sound effects and best sound effects editing. I think it would like to see it get a screenplay nom, but I don't think it'll get one, Ratatouillie got one. Other then that I would like to see Tropic Thunder get nominated in best film, supporting and screenplay. The movie is fucking amazing for a comedy. If it wins anything I don't think it will. And I would like to see Speed walk away with best visual effects, because come on those effects where sooooo fucking ground breaking. Hate them or not they were fucking amazing. As far as best movie would anyone really be surprised if TDK walked away with it? If it gets nominated I'd put my money on it. Other wise I'd say Christopher Nolan for director. And if not even though I've never seen it I'd say Danny Boyle for director and Slumdog if TDK doesn't get nominated, just because I'd like to see him win. Kate Winslet will win best actress this year (The Reader or Revolutionary Road) either that or she'll never be. Amay Adams will be nominated for supporting with Doubt, and wouldn't be surprised to see a best acting from Philip Seymour Hoffman and Streep for that movie (and probably another for PSH for Synecdoche, New York). Other then that I'd like to see Hellboy 2 get some love for costume (probably will go to Ironman though) and/or makeup and score nom. I would like to see an Osacar race dominated by event films, since it looks like this was the year for event films, not dramatic flair. Also if the Fall is even allowed to be in the running art direction and screenplay and best supporting for the girl. And one wishful, Sly best actor for Rambo.
-
The Changeling will at least get nominated for best picture.
-
Tremendous story. I am a lifelong Iron Man fan and collector. I started waayy back in 1977. Without a shadow of a doubt The Michelinie/Layton collaboration that resulted in the rebirth of Iron Man and which served as the template for what he is today, was the greatest period ever for the golden avenger. The created the Demon in a Bottle storyline. Tony Stark and Iron Man were simply awesome back then. All of the characters were clicking, and even the minor characters like Mrs Arbogast, his secretary, were great. And ocassionally, we would get a full body shot of Mrs A, who was smoked stacked. She was no great beauty, but damn, major milf. I would highly recommend any and all of those late seventies to mid eighties Iron Man books. Ignore and avoid the denny o'neil shit. he introduced obadiah stane- among other shite.
-
Damn, I lost my lucnh over that Jenna picture. Ok, I have never been much into porn, but even i saw some of her 'work'. Whoo, that life aint good for the looks long term.
-
"Ok, I have never been much into porn" haha yeah, that's what everyone says.
Jenna was still looking good just a couple years ago, it's only after she quit porn that she started decaying. Dating douchenbags (Tito Ortiz), drugs, removing the implants, excessive surgery, losing weight to do runway fashion shows... it's like she crammed in a year everything Pamela did for the past decade. And be thankful, I saw way worse pics of her a few days ago on some blog, I just couldnt find them again.
I was never a fan of hers, she's too 'typical porn blonde with big tits' for my taste. I like when they can at least give the impression that they're enjoying the sex a little. -
goes for both porn and dating.
-
Your boys are playing well tonight. Great game.

I didn't care for Zodiac as well. I didn't get all the buzz about it. Plus the non ending ending was lame.
-
when they did it in '92 as a skit called 'Orgasm Guy' with Rob Schneider and Glenn Close.

with that skit anyway, Lajoie did this weeks ago:

It was a screening for SFPD? Whaaaaat? I missed that. I just saw Dermont tell Ruffalo to take some time off, spend some time with his wife. Cut to the inside of the theater and Mark looks over at Dermot sitting a few people down, and Jake sitting a few people down in the other direction. I didn't hear anything about a screening for the cops. But I wasn't paying 1000% attention.
-
It had to end like that because they never caught the guy. It had a similar feel to the old movie called The Town That Dreaded Sundown that was based on a serial killer in Texarcana in the 50's, I believe, that was never caught.
-
I actually like that sort of ending. What bothered me was everything that led up to that, which seemed like 5 hours of nothing. My question by the end was, why did this story need to be told?
-
Yeah that's what I'm saying. The ambiguity to it that there never was an ending. It was pretty much a story glorifying Serial Killers. If I remember, it wasn't a problem with sloppy police work, or corrupt cops? Just a killer out smarted them, go him? Also I've mentioned this a lot before, how I was watching a lot of Law and Order when I watched this and it all kind of flowed together, with this just being a weaker episode.
-
....and I agree Series, I had the same thoughts. So.....uhhhh....the killer wins the game? He is smarter than everyone? So am I supposed to root for him? What the fuck? It was very well shot, well cast, well acted, great music. Everything was there but a story I could care about. And I understand its accurate to the real case, but again-- no every fucking event in human history needs to be made into a film. What was the point of this?

A talking dog telling some to Kill. You know someone mentioned earlier about reading about serial killers, if you read Ted Bundys wikapedia page, like read the WHOLE thing. You will finish and realize how fucking lazy criminal TV show writers are, all they've been doing is just using stories from Ted's life over and over again. One of the best Law and Order CI episodes with Roy Scheider as an old serial killer about to be executed and how he slowly gives up more and more information about his kills, totally just what Ted did. There are numerous other fucked up shit he did, that just got turned into CSI/Law and Order/Cold Case ETC. shows.

BTK movie, and how there were men that spend there whole careers trying to find him and eventually he just turns himself in. It could star Jack Nicholson, seriously look for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dennis_Rader_booking.jpg http://tinyurl.com/655twq
-
The police caught the BTK killer after he did something stupid in 05 after all those years. Even better ending, because at least then it doesn't make the police look incompetent.
-
How Fincher gets his funding? Seriously, I guess Panic Room made a lot more money then I thought? I know Seven was a pretty damn big hit. Maybe after all the DVD sales with Fight Club it eventually became a big hit? Is there a web site that keeps track of longevity of movies? Like money made from DVD's like even after a couple of years, because Fight Club probably took about 4 years to be a hit.

Really it sucked? I'm glad to hear something negative about it, I was starting to really wonder. Because I always assume Dreamworks movies will suck, and usually there huge hits (Shrek 3, Madagascar, Shark Tale) do but there mild hits (Over The Hedge and Bee Movie) which get luke warm reviews so I put off seeing them forever and ever usually end up being a lot of fun. I was hopeing Panda would be the later but its been a big success and the reviews have been overly positive, like Shrek. I think the reason people liked Shrek 1 and 2 so much was because of the Eddie Murphys ending song which made you leave thinking you just had a really good time, while 2 was the best 1 has a really boring lull and 3 was just awful all around.
-
And Man On A Wire, on the DVDs. Pretty excited to see if these two adventure flicks hold up (Man to the hype) and TDK to a second viewing. I have a feeling TDK will only look even more like Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance then it did the first time. Maybe the rest of you will finally come to your senses.

She lives in Scottsdale AZ and last year I had the distinct displeasure of running into her coming out of a cofffe shop without makeup on. YIKES that's all I can say, YIKES. The fear she induced in me by her appearance nearly made me pass out and I wet myself just a bit.

...Woody Allen-- I'm lookin' at you motherfucker. George Clooney....you're next!
-
Hell yes. I've never even thought of that. That was so fucked up the way he got caught. He made a cd to taunt the cops on a computer owned by his church and then sent it to them. He was too stupid, or too insane, to realize that every CD ever burnt is marked with the IP address of the computer it was burned on. If he wouldn't have done that, he would probably still be out killing people today.
-
Hey, did Jenna look as bad as she did in that above photo?

Really how much does a Woody Allen movie cost to make? A million tops.

Less than a million total?! Fuck me.

Is a fucking pain in the ass, should I use a recruiter? Has anyone done that?
-
His film Manhattan made 37 million in 1979, Annie Hall fucking made 39 million in 1977?!! His only two films to get anywhere near that in the last 20 years are Match Point and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which both did less than 30. Most of his films since 1990 have made less than 10.
-
Not as good as last weeks. Last weeks was by far the best. If anyone is following...because it was the first episode that was just a simple side story that wrapped up in one episode. No secret side story, no trying to figure out whos who in the future. Plus it said more about the whole Terminator story as a whole then any of the other ones. What happened was the girl terminator has been dicking around the library and she comes across something weird in a history book. Figures out that this person in history was actually a Terminator and how time traveling can go wrong. She figures out that the terminator accidentally killed someone important in the time travel mishap and so it devoted its entire Robot life to fix the situation. The girl terminator figures this all out and hunts down the old Terminator in a pretty bad ass brawl. The old Terminator is the bad guy from Riches.
-
Was pretty damn good. But since we saw it in theaters on like our second or third date me and lady friend, its gotten me into trouble. Because afterward i said as a joke something along the lines of cheating on her with Scarlet Jo if I could get away with it or something. So now I always have to hear about it.
-
....why didn't the machines go back and drop a nuke on the hospital where John was about to be born? Thats the part I don't get.
-
Ummm I don't think I could even tell you what happened, kind of spacing out for it. Wasn't that interesting, really stupid side story that may come into play in the future, about Brian Austin Green delivering a baby and her sister saves him in the future. Then there was something at the end I didn't get and didn't care about so I deleted it.
-
Though I've never met anyone that has seen it.
-
Good call Danny. Yeah the more I watch the show the more I'm like, how are they going to wrap this all up into a new movie? Its starting become like the Star Trek universe where people are just taking it in any direction they want to.
-
Worse, it looked like she was at the tail end of a five day bender. No makeup, bags under her eyes the size grocery bags. She maybe weighed about hundred pounds and ten of that are bad fake boobs.The sad thing with her was when she first showed up she was really cute hot if you know what I mean. Don't believe me? rent the Howard Stern Private Parts movie. You get a good look at her without cocks and jizz flying at her.
-
....if it didn't work the first time, killing Sarah prior to John's birth-- then why the fuck would they wait for John to be a teenager before they return? Why not keep going back and trying again prior to his birth, or even better-- why not kill Sarah prior to her birth? It makes no sense why they would continue to come back later and later in John's life. They are time-traveling anyway, it is just a matter of punching in a different date. What the fuck?
-
I'm gonna watch Chuck and pass out.
-
Oh yeah about the time travel, like I said about that last weeks episode that help explain a lot of the Terminator universe, that time travel is not yet an exact science so they can't get the date right. Which will be a huge thing to explain for the new movie, how the time travel works. They did a bit of time traveling they did in the show. It still wasn't as cool as Twelve Monkeys.
-
Coldy, coughy, still worn down after being spurned by a cool chick and about to watch Heroes 312.
-
is that time travel isn't that accurate and their aiming at X date but just hit as close to it as they can. However, when they send the second person back to protect, they use the exact route the first one used. Anyone else think that, being a teenage boy, Connor orders Terminatrix to take her top off and spends an unhealthy amount of time beefing one out onto her chest? SHe has to do it, so he may as well.
-
and think Mrs. Jarv may have measles. Which would suck- I've had it and can't get it again, but it puts you in quarantine for a month.
-
Heroes 312 kicked fucking ass.
-
not something I normally do. Anyhoo, Frankie Muniz was in it as the unsub (is he the most annoying screen presence ever- he's basically TV's Shia), and he was going through a psychotic break slaughtering people. I comment on it, as the green screen sin city work in it was outstanding. I was impressed.I also don't think I've ever seen a crime programme with an actual psychotic in it.
-
Twilight. $137m. Is that all? they made it expecting billions. This totally explains the foilage proliferation that's been everywhere. I'm still disgusted at Harry over it.
-
Was Muniz acting? Because I get that psychotic vibe from him.
-
But turned it off for being too shit.
-
Not particularly. Unless you count looking confused as acting.
-
BLARGH. Oh great, time for the bank meeting. Be back eventually.

Darth Macchio: think it might have something to do with the guy thinking or asking too much, not being apparently or appropriately humble in the ideas he suggests, particularly with fictional off-shoots of obscenely well loved titles like "I am Legend".
It's like a friend you haven't seen comes over and you offer him a drink or something to eat...he instead asks if he can shave your dog, paint your house blue, and fuck your wife/girlfriend while dressed as a fireman slash umpa-loompa...or fuck your daughter if she's old enough (if she's not old enough then he'll politely suggest your mom as an alternative). All with a straight, friendly, "it's ok if I just take everything right? thanks!" oblivious face. I'm not attackin the guy tho, just his MO for film ideas! Dig it, I first noticed it when he said he was getting his wife to hit up the Wachowskis to put both him and his son (the kid from Happyness, etc) in the Matrix movies in some form (he seemed somewhat jokingly desperate actually). So the Matrix trilogy could be a great movie for the Will Smith family!! How to work the story? Who cares! It's a Will Smith and his family movie!!! Box-office gold dude!
That is spot on what is wrong with Will Smith. Brilliantly put. -
1)Can you fuck the terminatrix? I get that your risking fractured cock syndrome, but in theory can you do it or is she like a fleshy barbie down there. I feel that none of the films or the series have answered this important point.2)Doesn't she weigh tons? if so how can she get in a car? This also applies to Arnold in the films. 3)Does she need to poop or pee? 4)Does she breathe? 5)If answers to 3 and 4 are "no" then how does the flesh, blood etc stay alive. 6) If the answers to 3 and 4 are yes then does she have a digestive tract? cos you never see her eat.7)If the answer to 3 is "yes" then where does she shit? there's no toilet made that can support tons of metal. And people quibble about time travel when you've got such obviously underthought cyborgs running around.
-
Is that the Sarah Connor Chronicles you speak of? I haven't seen it since they introduced Brian Austin Green as Kyle Reeses brother. I wanted to like it but it was just so fucking boring! Has it got better since then?
-
To be honest: No. Although Shirley Manson is quite interesting to look at.
-
I can't get over how silly it is. They can't stop Skynet because Skynet has to exist for Kyle Reese to have a reason and means to go back in time and sleep with Sarah so that John can exist... to send Kyle Reese back in time.
-
and it's got worse than that- skynet is now sending terminators back to help with/ do the development of all the AI that leads to the creation of skynet itself which means that it has to send terminators back to help with the development of..... etc.
-
Time-travel pisses me off. On every fucking show.
-
That is my metaphysical problem with The Terminator.My problem with The Sarah Connor Chronicles is that it is shit. That is another show I really have to stop watching, but there's bugger all else on at the moment.Morning, all.
-
It seems to me that by know you should have created some kind of Bizarro world for yourself, where sickness is entirely normal to you but good health causes you to take to your bed and watch endless hours of Trisha repeats.
-
actually, I think Heroes is a great example of how not to do it. As soon as you start fucking around with causality (all the save the cheerleader gubbins) and have characters popping back and forth in time as easily as catching a bus, you've opened a whole narrative can of worms. The best, well I reckon, way to treat Time travel is from the shitey adaptation of The Time Machine- which had time as a river- you can throw a stone in it, but this won't change the way it flows.
-
Fucking typos.
-
I'm very rarely actually sick. I've usually got some self inflicted illness (hangover) that I have to soldier through. And I hate trisha. That's a fucking unfair post, all in all, and I may take the huff.
-
Yeah, Heroes doesn't do a terrific job. One of the things they should do in Volume IV is just give Hiro the ability to teleport, because time-travel is too much of a crux for a comic-book show.
-
I don't think it's shit, I just don't think it's particularly fun. Which the films were. Neither Terminator nor Terminator II is art, but they're exceptionally made blockbusters for me.
-
I was ill from some bad food on Saturday, hungover yesterday and suffering from a cold today. Fucking Christmas.
-
Is they treat the future as though it's another place they can catch a bus from. All the while, the present keeps trundling along at its normal pace, and every now and then some Terminators from futureland pop up to shoot some stuff.Sarah and John Connor are pretty fucking clued up about this whole robots from the future business by now, what with all they've been through in various films and whatnot, so why do the robots keep atacking them at this point in the timeline?Why don't they try going back to kill poodle haired Sarah Connor again?Or how how about killing poodle haired Sarah Connor's mum?This is why time travel bullshit - because it makes no sense. Even the best time travel stories end up unravelling into a whole mess of crap if you pull at them too hard.
-
It's bullshit because Skynet had no reason to go back at all. THEY WERE WINNING THE WAR. Going back is the dumbest thing they could have done. There was no point in it, whatsoever... because they were butchering humans constantly.
-
The best time travel film. (Also my favorite film). I will not hear a bad word against it unless you want to incur that wrath!I'm not sure what the wrath is, but it shall be incurred!
-
You often mention that you're ill, that's all.I apologise whole-heartedley for impugning your excellent health.

Hurt my feelings. *sniff- cries-sniff*
