AICN & Twitch Present International Eye Candy: THIRST, Japanese SPIDER-MAN, IN THE LOOP, BLACK LIGHTNING, And More!!
International Eye Candy
March 18, 2009
How best to celebrate March Break and the slow emergence from a cold, harsh winter? Not by going outside, that's for damn sure! Yes kids, it's Todd from Twitch here with our regular foray into the world of film with a brand new International Eye Candy column to keep you amused and entertained from the comfort of your chair.
The big news lately was certainly the first trailer for OLDBOY director Park Chan-Wook's THIRST. That one's already received a good bit of lovin' on the main page here, which rules it out of the ol' IEC but not to worry: even with THIRST disqualified we've got a whopping twenty films making the grade this time out for our biggest IEC ever! We've got Johnnie To teaming up with French pop stars! Gunnar Hansen alive, well and massacring once again! French spies! Time travelling drunks! It's everything a growing boy (or girl) needs and here we go!
We kick things off with a blast from the past, courtesy of - surprisingly enough - the fine folks at Marvel. Way back before the idea of a SPIDER-MAN feature film was even a glimmer in Sam Raimi's eye Marvel licensed the character to producers in Japan to adapt for a television series. The name stayed the same, costume too, but they changed just about everything else. No Peter Parker. No radioactive spider. But lots and lots of giant robots and crazy ass kaiju monsters. Japanese SPIDER-MAN videos have been highly sought after collectors items ever since and life just got a whole lot easier for fans with Marvel snapping up rights to the entire series run, slapping English subtitles on the lot of them and releasing them a single episode per week - for free - via their official website. It's just as gloriously strange as you might think.

From Japan we head to the UK for a film sure to rank high on my year end list. How can I say that so early into 2009? Because its creator - satirist Armando Iannucci - is a flat out genius. Any fans of Jon Stewart out there? Prepare to have your mind blown. Iannucci has been adored in TV circles for years now and he's finally made the leap to film with Sundance hit IN THE LOOP, a whip smart and foul mouthed - at least in one character's case - satire tracking minor government officials swept up in the buildup to war. Iannucci is brilliant in his worst moments and this is one of his best.

Start practicing your Russian pronunciations because before too long Timur Bekmambetov is going to become a household name. We first got to know Bekmambetov thanks to his hugely successful NIGHT WATCH films, then he crossed over and crushed the US box office with WANTED and next he's up as a producer of upcoming post-apocalyptic animation 9, a role he shares with Tim Burton. But the US success doesn't mean Timur's forgotten his roots. Nope. He still directs back in Russia, too, and he also slings his name around to help those who have helped him. Such is the case with BLACK LIGHTNING, an upcoming feature produced by Bekmembetov and directed by a pair of his key assistants. The story? Not much so far, just that it's about a college kid who discovers a flying car and uses it to fight crime but there's a brief teaser out there now that'll leave you hungry for more.
Check out the BLACK LIGHTNING teaser here
And speaking of hungry for more, that's how we've been feeling about Rena Takeda star vehicle HIGH KICK GIRL since we first came across it. Boasting about the most appropriate movie title in the history of movie titles, Takeda stars as a typical high school girl drawn into a fight against a deadly gang, but only if typical high school girls are highly trained in the martial arts and their gang opponents are similarly well trained young women. All the fighting in this is real, folks, all of these girls well trained, and yes-indeedy it does indeed feature a bunch of fetching young things in short skirts beating the absolute tar out of each other. We've linked to promos for this one before but now there's a full theatrical trailer that includes some of the more over the top take downs I've seen in recent years, plenty of fan service, and a flaming arm.

It's Leatherface! In a slasher! But it aint what you think! Last year Gunnar Hansen got back in touch with his Icelandic roots, travelling back home to be part of the REYKJAVIK WHALE WATCHING MASSACRE and if Hansen combined with that title isn't enough to hook you, well then you just aint human. Heh. I caught an extended promo of this last year at Fantastic Fest and have been waiting for the chance to share something in public ever since and that day has come. They're being careful not to spoil any of the big gore moments just yet but the just-released teaser shows plenty of atmosphere and a little bit of Hansen, in all more than enough to prove that this thing's going to have some legs on the festival circuit this year.

Japan-o-philes were greatly confused, and mostly pleased a while back when word started to circulate about a rather unlikely partnership, one that would see splattery horror director Ryuhei Kitamura (VERSUS, THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN) directing rock and roll film BANDAGE, a project written and produced by arthouse darling Shunji Iwai (ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU CHOU). Kitamura has since dropped off that project but the duo have ended up working together anyway, the pair commissioned to create hour long animated film BATON as part of a celebration of the city of Yokohama's 150th birthday. No history lesson here, though ... the pair have gone out and created a full out scifi adventure using a blend of traditional and rotoscoped animation and the first trailer is freshly arrived.
Pass the BATON here
Time now for our first of two more local productions that prove you don't have to go high budget to go high concept. PHASMA EX MACHINA is a low budget genre buster coming out of the midwestern US that defies easy categorization into either the scifi or horror worlds while inviting comparison to the likes of PRIMER or THE SIXTH SENSE. Story? Simple enough. And electrical engineer develps a theory that the barrier that prevents the souls of the dead from walking among the living is a simple lack of energy and so he builds a field generator to test that theory. It works. If the trailer's any idication then these guys have smarts and style to spare.

Next we move north of the border to my own slowly thawing homeland and Trenton Lepp's CONDITION: HUMAN. This one is a six part web series due to arrive on April first, with the action set in a near-future world where believably humanoid robots have forced a wave of moral and ethical questions. The impressive thing here? Not just that the trailer is gorgeous but that Lepp got it looking that way using a consumer grade handycam available in any electronics shop and a green screen jury-rigged out of green felt set up in his living room. This is DIY film making that looks a lot better than a lot of studio efforts and for those who are curious about how it's done, Lepp plans to publish a series of tutorial videos.

Sick of vampire flicks yet? But what if the vampire were played by a sexy Japanese skin flick actress? The film is BLOOD, the actress Aya Sugimoto, a former pop star who returned to prominence when she divorced her husband for not having enough sex with her and then starring in a number of high end, sexually explicit, bondage themed skin flicks. And now she's getting her kit off in BLOOD, a film sure to keep thrill seekers happy while also - like most of Sugimoto's films - boasting shockingly high production values. The fresh trailer is work-safe, but just.
Take a gander at Sugimoto here
Because one good sex tale deserves another, we move on now to Belgium for SM RECHTER, or TIED TOGETHER in English. Far more arthouse than grindhouse, this one is based on the true story of a Belgian judge who opted to explore S&M with his wife to bring a little spice to their marriage, then realized that they both enjoyed the lifestyle rather a lot and pushed deeper into it, and then was disbarred and charged with spousal abuse when their relationship became public. Which seems ludicrous, but it really happened.
Check the SM RECHTER trailer here
Right! Enough with the smut! We head now to Ireland for Tomm Moore's entirely more family friendly animated feature SONG OF THE SEA. In my mind Moore established himself as a master animator worth being compared to the likes of Michel Ocelot (KIRIKOU AND THE SORCERESS) and Sylvain Chomet (TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE) with his debut feature, BRENDAN AND THE SECRET OF KELLS, and now he's back at it with his sophomore effort. SONG is probably a couple years away from release but Moore has released an early trailer / animation test for his sea fable and it's magical stuff.
Sing a SONG OF THE SEA here
We'll stick with the youthful animation tip a bit longer but the upcoming EUREKA 7 feature features less sea and more sky-surfing giant robots. If you're familiar with the anime series you're already up to speed on this but if not, EUREKA 7 takes the young boy / giant robot motif that has been a staple of anime for years and breaths new life into it thanks to some sharp story telling, a compelling coming of age element and a cool factor that most shows of the type are sorely lacking. This is one of my favorite anime series of the past few years and the feature - A POCKET FULL OF RAINBOWS, a shit title I know - promises to blend about 40% new material with reanimated sequences from the original series for some sort of distillation / expansion of all the things that made the show great.
Check the EUREKA 7 trailer here
We've covered Derek Yee's SHINJUKU INCIDENT before, sucked in by the promise of Jackie Chan's first purely dramatic role, and now it's back in the IEC thanks to a brand new Japanese trailer for the film. The irony here, of course, is that the film is banned from screening in China because of it's harsh portrayal of Chinese trying to eke out a living in Japan's underground economy while in Japan - a nation that comes off far worse in the film - it's embraced. Go figure.

Alright, okay, something in English to carry you through the home stretch here. I'm not totally in love with the trailer for upcoming Brit-com FAQ ABOUT TIME TRAVEL but I am rather in love with star Chris O'Dowd, best known as the lead in TV sitcom THE IT CROWD. The premise here is suitably goofy - a trio of socially awkward nerds discover a rift in time in the toilet of the local pub - and all the best bits seem to belong to O'Dowd. I'd expect no less.

Forecasting a resurgence in the slumping Korean film industry, where the local box office has been dominated in recent weeks by a documentary about an 80 year old farmer and his ox, in a year where Park Chan-Wook and Bong Joon-Ho both have new films coming seems like kind of a no-brainer but if the resurgence is going to stick they're going to need some new blood to make some waves as well. Well, hello Park Dae-Min. Park's debut film, PRIVATE EYE, is soon to appear on the scene and this things looks stellar on all fronts - from the clever casting of a pair of dead solid character actors in the leads, to the ultra-stylish look and feel of the thing, to the clever fusion of genres, this has all the things that made us fall in love with Korea in the first place. Story? A med student in 1910 finds a body in the forest and instead of reporting it opts to bring it home for dissection and study. Until he learns that his body is the corpse of a powerful gangster's son. Then he takes it back. But there's already a new, different body there. So now he figures that he's screwed unless he can find the killers before they find him and hires the titular private eye for help.
Check out the PRIVATE EYE trailer here
Yep, the big budget Russian scifi epic is back on the radar thanks to the imminent release of the second part. You know your film is epic when it can't be contained in just one film and with the first installment of Fyodor Bondarchuk's adaptation of the Strugatsky Brothers' novel already a huge hit the producers are finally moving away from the 'keep everything hidden' approach that they used marketing the first film and are showing a whole lot more in the trailer for the second.

Okay, another one here for fans of intelligent satire, this one coming from Germany's Jan Henrik Stahlberg. Co-writer, co-director and leading man, Stahlberg's fingers are all over SHORT CUT TO HOLLYWOOD and while you can certainly make a case that parodying reality television is a bit of a chump's game since it already does such a good job of parodying itself Stahlberg is so smart about what he does, and keeps things so firmly focused on the irrational drive for fame rather than on the reality TV process itself that it really, really works. Stahlberg is a gem largely undiscovered outside of his own country so far, which is a huge shame in my book - he's one of the best in the world.

Alright Johnnie To fans, here we go ...
I'll be the first to admit that there was a stretch there where I really didn't see what the hype was about To. I found PTU very over rated and was bored by BREAKING NEWS other than the opening and closing sequences. In fact, I was literally at the point where I told myself I'd only give To one more shot, one more film top prove he was worth my attention. Lucky for me, that one film ended up being the first of his ELECTION films and from that point on he's been on an unstoppable, untoppable role.
For his latest, VENGEANCE, To indulges his love for French gangster noir by hiring French singer Johnny Hallyday to play an aging hitman in Hong Kong to exact - you guessed it - vengeance on the men who harmed his daughter. Pure gold, kids, pure gold. And now gold with a trailer.

I've written about my love for French spy comedies OSS 117 in this space before - Moriarty is also a big, big fan - and the spy is back again thanks to a brilliant new trailer for the second installment in the current revival of the series, OSS 117: RIO NE REPOND PLUS. The OSS 117 films first appeared in France during the 1960s before being revived just a few years back in a pitch perfect recreation of the 60's era swingin' spy caper with comedian Jean Dujardin in the lead and this new installment looks every bit as solid as the first. A basic knowledge of French will help you catch the jokes but, hell, it's got a Nazi masked wrestler and you can't ask for much more than that, now can you?

We wrap up this very long edition of International Eye Candy with the candiest piece of candy yet, the brand new trailer for Kaz Kiriya's period-set martial arts fantasy GOEMON. Now, Kiriya burst on to the international scene a few years back with his live action adaptation of popular anime series CASSHERN and while that film proved hugely divisive to audiences - I loved it, personally - everybody agreed that Kiriya is flat out one of the purest and most compelling visual talents going. This guy makes gorgeous film full of beautiful people doing impossible things. And here's two more minutes of proof.

I have on request. For my birthday, can you write me a repulsive Bates VS. Bale fuckfest short-story?
-
Such a fine friend.
Been doing just fine, thanks for asking.
How is the gang?
By the way, little league baseball is the end all, be all of raging monsters.
The chasm of evil exposed could usher in 90% of Beazlebubs' army. -
I will write a steamy short story that will be outlawed in every bible-belt state.
It will make the Hughes-Brim escapades look like Baby Einstein fodder.... -
....my work IP is blocked for some dumb fuck reason. So I spend my time with Bale or actually doing a little work. People have been kinda quiet lately. I haven't seen everyone on at once in a while.

I just had an idea. What if Hughes and The Brim raised Bale!!
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Like he was an orphan baby dropped off at their door on a stormy night. They made him the man he is today. It would explain his obsession with bashing whore's heads in with baseball bats.
-
with no less than eight members of the CoC.
Also we had the subtlty of a climaxing elephant cock crashing into a woodchuck's dry cherry-sheilded labia. -
and yea The Good, The Bad, The Weird, is pretty good.
-
And Jonah always complaining we didn't stay on topic. Hehehe. Miss that guy too. He is never around either. faaaaaaawwwwk. An era seems to have come to an end.
-
No less than ten minutes of "phantom-fucking", as TheBrim made Bale drop his wrench into TheBates closet while he tore Bales' puckered asshole into a taint-ripping canyon that only ended when his sack withstood the stretching
-
Shinjuku Incedent ticket stubs should come with eye-ball condoms just for protection.
Also the DVD can double as Capt. America's shield. -
"When Kermit decides to get the Muppets back together, he sends out the Muppet signal, ala the bat-signal. We then see where all the Muppets are and what they're doing. It's also a very funny sequences. Rowlf is working in a Kinko's run by cats. Gonzo is a crime fighter (including a cameo of Christian Bale in full Batman costume)"
-
I can only imagine how many times he rolled his eyes as we gave actual feedback on a topic and then suddenly veered into a explitive-filled comment box that boiled over with description of TheBates pink wonderland.
Sorry Jonah.... -
He doesn't fuck around with his characters. He has too muh respect for the material.They're gonna have to change that to some hack that shamefully self promotes....Robert Downey Jr. YOU'RE PERFECT!! And a cameo from your fuck-buddy Favs is already in the works!

Also Curtis had very nice and real tits. -
is THE best Christmas Carol adaptation, and yea it says about Bale in some guys review in the Muppet thread DGDB
-
I like the vengeance films as much as the next guy, but come on-- if that were an American trailer with white people and every shot and music cue were identical, people would be saying that shit looks like some David Goyer shit. It would get no fucking respect if it wasn't Asian and it wasn't Park. Thats the fucking truth. That kinda shit pisses me off. People were stroking off to it before the trailer even fucking started. I know who you are.
-
but I do have faith a movie like that will be a lot more interesting in Park's hands,
-
I'm surprised the streets are filled with a lava-like flow of jizz as Cameron announced Avatar.
EVERY director is capable of laying a steaming shit pile in my opinion.
I actually like to see a movie before heaping praise on it.
I don't care who directs it. -
He's an interesting filmmaker. Shit like that just gets on my nerves. I'm guilty of it too though. I don't have to see the trailer for the next Statham film before I admit it will probably fist fuck a smile on my face.
-
Mar 18, 2009 8:22:57 PM CDT
Of course you can say that about any film. Its all hype.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Because that is the purpose of a trailer, right?But this Thirst trailer in particular just stood out as being really by the book and bland looking. There is absolutely nothing special in it yet people will call it fucking genius because of the name associated with it.
-
If you get past some of the cheesiness of the dialog theres some gorgoues looking battle scenes in that trailer (Whens the last time you saw an epic tank battle in a movie?)

I'd let him eat my pussy till my juice poured through his hair

Thought I don't think its safe he attempt to operate that kind of machinery, considering he always seems to have a bitch's face cemented to his crotch.
-
have been ejected in the imaginary direction of Megan Fox's cunt?
Jesus, I can almost see the loads of haphazardly flying warm cum landing on a bathroom vanity. The shaking hands turning on the faucet to clean up, while thighs untighten and feet slowly reach the floor after perching on toes in orgasmic response. -
I mean I think she looks good enough to fuck, like the High School whore that giggles while she jerks dudes off-- but come on. She is in no way a pretty girl. Just a fuckable whore with a gaping snatch and too much makeup on nasty oily ass skin.
-
.....but the body belonging to your cunt looks like a fucking drag queen. EXHIBIT A:

you should see her after Bays had a bash, she's black and blue, and end up smelling like gunpowder
-
Jesus Christ I hope its not a Korean crew. They have no fucking Unions so they work those motherfuckers 24 hours straight without a shit or shower break. Motherfuckers go weeks without bathing or scrubbing their balls. And their idea of a rubber is the intestinal lining of a diseased goat's innards. In other words-- after a Park Chan Wook crew gangbang, that pussy be STAAAAAAANK!!
-
just hope that the next time she sneezes, she holds her nose tight and closes her mouth.
The exploding gases will quickly look for the avenue of least resistance, thus clearing you of crew's bastard juice and the residue from Bay's powdery fingers... -
Kicked all sorts of ass. Fuck, Chitty, you disappear for months pop back up and in one TB make two great observations.1. Tank rocks out with it's cock out 2. The cumdumpsters on Friday Night Lights blow Megan Fox right the fuck away.
-
Can you imagine James Garner with the female cast from Fiday Night Lights in that tank?
He would be having to load his spunk into the main ammo feeder just leave anough room to breath.
Mix the Tyra's attitude with Lyla's looks and Julie's tits...Holy Shit what a nice piece of ass that would be.... -
but half the US Army had to have a go, apparently it was in Bays contract with them. I hope she dosen't sneeze in a way, its the only nourishment she gets.

Sort of like Dog Soldiers, but KGB seek them out to prevent a movement towards Russian civilization.
Could work..Hmmmm -
Thats right. That shit looks fucking killer. I thought it was werewolves but its just random beastly looking things the witch sends after the main dudes. It looks like a cross between Brothers Grimm, Brotherhood of the Wolf, and Van Helsing -- slammed down the shaft of a swollen R-Rated cock with a Prince Albert. Fucking kick ass. Its got some Evil Dead sorta photography as well.....when is this thing gonna drop?

That was one of the first deep conversations we got into.
-
I wonder how he ever found the time to log on. You know, killing cattle and raping grown men and such.
Choopy drinks Everclear like I drink water.
His piss also has the same qualities as xenomorph blood. -
Doesn't have a penis, otherwise he'd probably pull a Jabba and tie Meghan up and shave her head.
-
Have you seen Casshern
-
Now Mrs. Liam Neeson, damn you skis!

just randomly passed it around and took swings from the bottle.
I ended up banging a chick in the back seat, but while we were fucking, we still took part in the conversation with others in the car and sang along to "Brown-Eyed Girl".
I left it in and took her word for it that she was on the pill and she jumped off and we kept cruising around. -
Or Purple Jesus? Or Jungle Juice? All names for the same drink that's made with fruit punch, Everclear, and lots of floating fruit.
-
He sent me an email today but I haven't joined yet. I'm a lazy bastard right now so Ill post it later.
-
Put green Hawaiin Punch and Everclear into it.
Get a clean cooler and add Everclear and the green punch.
Jesus, you will have a hangover the next day.
I usually stuck to beer and whiskey. -
Turns out a couple of guys I know are leaving early for spring break, so I'm gonna go see them, probably have a few beers, etc. Happy chats guys. The new Twitch has barely been on for a few hours and it's already in the top ten!
-
And they go through all the mutants in the movie, and they fucking didn't mention Deadpool? How dumb is that? He's like the biggest character in comics right now. ALRIGHT South Park Watchmen parody on.

Fights to keep order in tack.
-
Batman. I don't know its pretty ho-haw so far.

At UNC we call it PJ. At East Carolina they call it Jungle Juice. My dad said they called it Purple Jesus when he was young. I guess that's where we get PJ. Where are you Chitty that they call it Bullfrog? Any other nicknames in the area? We do mainly red PJ around here, though the last college party I was at had green, blue, and pink. Always fun to see the color of the vomits the next morning.

It looks like he's central in some plot that involves pple trying to kidnap him or something? That's a bit yawn-inducing. I hope I'm wrong on that one. Cyclops would fucking remember Wolverine.
-
I was doing some work the other day and one of the shoes was called Alize and I pronounced it Uh-leeze, only to be scolded by my gf. Sorry, I've never seen that in print. PJ was mainly a college party thing- its always made in a cooler or plastic tub or in some cases- the bathtub.

My prediction -- Wolvering fist fucks all previous X-Men films.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
To me, it looks to be the only one of the bunch that will entertain. I don't give a shit about half ass Gambit or Baby Cyclops....whatever. The trailer alone is already better than all previous X films combined.
-
The trailers for that movie only show probably the worst jokes in the movie. That scene with the Hulk was just lame, and the stupid words part was dumb as well.
-
Who wants to bet he is more of a man than grown up Cyclops in the films ever was......hehehe. Fucking pussy.
-
Anyone else thinks he looks and sounds like Clive Barker?
-

Its not the Iraq Occupation, its films like I Love You Man....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....that almost make me ashamed to be an American.
-
South Park isn't as good as it used to be. Tonight's was ok.
-
And seeing Cyke in the last trailer interested me at first... but then I started thinking about it, and if he ever interacts with Logan, then its fucking retarded. Then I just thought about the lack of 70s gear... and the fact that a Humvee exists in the 70s... and that's fucking retarded too (unless they actually did). Why call it Origins if you're going to have it take place in the 90s and contradict everything you set up in the earlier films? Its gotta be 70s, right? Or at least early 80s? Gambit still looks badass to me though.
-
I love you man isn't that bad. Its a lot better then Apatows crap.
-
Were around in the 70's just not H2-H3.
-
You seen the Midnight Meat Train.
-
Humvees came out in like 79-81.
-
Who gives a fuck if it shits on and contradicts the first 3 films? That shows me the director has a brain.
-
Is it scary at all? Or just gory?
-
Mar 18, 2009 11:31:45 PM CDT
And that Gambit dude looks like a total fucking pussy.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
I shouldn't feel confident I could tear the motherfuckers head off in the real world. He is supposed to be a fucking superhero.
-
I don't think he is. I think Wolverine will kick ass. But if in the first film you set up that Wolverine hasn't remembered anything from his past and has been rambling on aimlessly for 20 years, then this film should take place in the 80s at least.
-
Mar 18, 2009 11:41:52 PM CDT
My point is the first 3 films are forgettable garbage.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
If he just gives the finger to everything that came before, that gets my respect.
-
The Baby Cyclops guys is in his early 20s, he could probably play as young as 17 or so. So Cyclops is like late 30s in the other films. Makes sense.
-
unless it's not some kind of Triad/crime/caper movie.
-
There is a scene where Raimi Jr. gets hit in the back of the head with a meat Hammer and his eye ball pops out! Its pretty good, not that scary, but damn good gore. I saw the directors cut which is 20 minutes too long and I guess the theatrical cut was 20 minutes shorter.
-
Has always kind of looked like a Pussy in the comics. I mean he can just light up cards? I really like his character in the comics and all, but he is kind of a faggy, he's got that accent and all.
-
Acts like the first 3 films never existed that is fine. I mean as long as he keeps the basic Wolverine plot, I mean Wolverine gets reboot in a new comic like ever 6 months. So it just means that its based on a comic that's all.
-
Mar 19, 2009 12:18:30 AM CDT
Is it gore I can laugh at or like Hostel sorta shit?
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
And all I know is Gambit was a motherfucking bad ass in that show. And a pimp.
-
Just damn good gore. Hostel gave gore a bad name and was a only like a half step better then the shit you see in Troma. I mean the blood is just crazy. There is a scene where we see a pov of someones head getting cut off and rolling.
-
Wasn't that the first show to do that thing? Now you can't be a drama show unless you got the previously.
-
Is like the Destroyed in Seconds of movies.

by dannyglovers_dickblood
....where he was talking about the absolute agony of coming out of the closet to his parents. He was saying he lived in hell for years, just anticipating how his family would react-- and in that misery he dreamt of demons and monsters and horrible torturous acts.Wow......wow.
-
Wolverine movie. Shit man, I got better things to do. Midnight Meat Train is pretty hilarious though. The hammer with the eye popping out did get a laugh from me while I watched it.
-
Armando Iannucci is the best thing to happen to British comedy since John Cleese. Ricky Gervais can go suck himself. And don't get me started on Brand. Bah!
-
who is this Clive you're talking about? The guy from Midnight Meat Train? Is he gay?

I rape cattle and kill grown men. There ain't enough everclear in the world to make me touch Megan Fox, but I did fuck a Russian werewolf once. Ay-yi-yi...that was some good shit, man.

Jeus Tittyfucking Christ... It's too early for such crude banter
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Reading through all those comments, the only thing I'd weigh in on is Wolverine, which does indeed look a lot of fun. Looks to me like a throwback to the 80's style of cheesy, over the top action. Watched Marley & Me last night (don't judge me. I had female accompaniment). It was okay, as cute dog films go. Some amusing moments with the dog going absolutely nuts. Completely innoffensive, as you'd expect.
-
Toxie/ Chopper Chicks/ Class of Nuke 'Em High>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anything that fucking hack roth has done.
-
and my fucking god, it's a bigger piece of shit than I remembered. Pah. She only likes it because of the cast- I suggested she just buy some porn, but she said that's "not the same".
-
no. Chris Morris FOR THE WIN. Brass Eye motherfuckers. The most gloriously offensive piece of satire in a long fucking time.
-
Chris: "Is it alright for me to sleep with my 9 year old girlfriend now that she's 23?"Moron in focus group: "That's disgusting and I hope they put you in prison". D'OH.
-
I'm going to have to go and buy that- Americans: If you can track it down, get it.
-
Even if it is very, very gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
-
and it's boring. And Brad Pitt is FUCKING AWFUL in it. And it's to blame for shite like Twilight and the demasculation of Vampires.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Vampires have always been a bit gay. That's why lots of fag hag type chicks like them. IWTV didn't start the trend. It was just more honest about it.
-
no way. Anne Rice started it, IWTV may as well be called "I'm a repressed bitch that wants some cock, but as I'm too fat to get any, I want to watch 2 guys get it on"

not only do I find out about a load of films that actually interest me, but the conversation is always great.

Ebert gave Knowing FOUR FUCKING STARS!!!
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But then again he gave Watchmen four stars, so who knows with that guy. Anyhoo... I wanna see Knowing, if for nothing else, it was shot in my home city.
-
do not mention that.
-
The whole concept of one guy sucking on another guys neck and swallowing his blood is inherently homosexual. And before you say it, I realise it isn't always two dudes. I don't argue with your Rice comment, except for the statement that she started it. That's horseshit.
-
Ebert also gave "It that shall not be named" four stars, so who knows with that guy.
-
for the first time in fucking ages, I'm actually looking forward to the Rugby on Saturday. All 3 games (I don't care about France- but it's on first) in a row. The Calcutta Cup (with a potentially exciting England side and the first Scotland side ever that want to run it), and then Ireland hopefully monstering the sheep fuckers. This is an epic drunkening in the making.
-
she accelerated it and bought the homo into the mainstream. Pre Interview, Vampires usually chomped on scantily clad chicks.
-
Mar 19, 2009 4:53:36 AM CDT
Eberts on Knowing (Yes, I'm pimping the hairpiece)
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
""Knowing" is among the best science-fiction films I've seen -- frightening, suspenseful, intelligent and, when it needs to be, rather awesome. In its very different way, it is comparable to the great "Dark City," by the same director, Alex Proyas. That film was about the hidden nature of the world men think they inhabit, and so is this one." "Among the best science-fiction films"? Jeez!
-
She was the first to essentially write an honest gay vampire tale. Previously it was veiled and alluded to. As far as my admittedly limited knowledge of vampire literature goes.
-
I can live with out it. An excuse for an epic drunkening is the only reason i watch rugby.
-
she's the oracle on this shit. Anyhoo, I don't really care that it's faggy. I care that it's dull
-
How old was Thandie Newton in it?
-
Phew. So it's OK to think she's how.
-
OK to think she's fuckable. Typing is beyond me today.
-
I didn't find it dull. I don't think it's a msterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a decent flick with awesome production design. And it has Slats in it. No film can be bad if its got Slats in it. (The curse of Boll doesn't count).
-
but I really wanted to bitch slap Brad Pitt for being a tedious whinging little cunt. And don't get me started on Banderas. Slater was fun though, but he's barely in it. I forgive him for Alone in The Dark. He's not exactly the only person who should know better to have been bolled.
-
while I'm not remotely interested in it, I kind of agree with Danny. I don't like any of the X-men films. The first was meh, but it was OK because it was an origin film. The second was pants with an incredible opening and the third sucked nob. Therefore, giving the finger to them doesn't really bother me.
-
Mar 19, 2009 5:12:05 AM CDT
I thought Cruise was good in it
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Pitt not so much, but i don't think much of Pitt as an actor unless he's playing grungy. For example, Fight Club, Snatch, Kalifornia, True Romance, 12 Monkeys, Seven (except for the weak delivery of the "oh god! oh god!" lines at the end). All great performances. Pretty boy roles like Meet Joe Black, that mountaineer movie where he befriends the dali lama, Troy. Godawful performances.
-
Anne Rice vampires = epic fail when compared to Lugosi, Cushing, or Lee. Hammer vampire films were classics. Near Dark and Fright Night rocked (though completley different in style and character types). Even if it's controversial on here because of massive mod adulation, I am crazy for "Let the Right One In". I still think that film would have been stellar even without the vampire theme, based on it's subplot about Oskar and due to the acting of the children. Pitt and Cruise as vampires just don't compare, imho.
-
he just shone in comparison to Pitt.
-
He's definitely innocent. A game adaptation that at least had some potential and who the fuck know who Boll was before that? It's those that came after that are guilty as charged. Statham and Co. doing ITNOTK should've known better.
-
Forgot to give reps to Salem's Lot. It's been said before, but the vampire boy at the window is still scary enough to give anyone nightmares.
-
I also think the faggy Vampire thing is responsible for the minging grungy Wayne and Waynetta slob vampire thing we have now where they have to pour blood all over themselves and then sit around in it. I like guinness but I don't dump a trough of it on my white shirt and then hiss like a fucking moron.
-
and Madsen got caught in Blood Rayne. Statham, Gimli, Liotta, Lillard, Reynolds are silly and should have known better.
-

"Wayne and Waynetta slob vampire"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
No comprende.
-
mind you, that's like saying "biggest dwarf"
-
She wrote it after her daughter's death. It's really got away from that in the other books.
-
I like that. It' fitting. They are right up there with the types that think they look menacing when they strike funky poses and bare their fangs (usually while bobbing up and down and either growling or hissing). Max Schreck should be waiting to eat their souls when they arrive in actor's Hell.
-
"A pair of benefit-dependent proto-Chavs with a dubious sense of hygiene. They argue over the name of their unborn child - Wayne: "'Ow about 'Ashtray'?" Waynetta: "Ashtray's a boy's name" - or pizza. Waynetta eventually names the child Frogmella because "it's exotic". Later she has another daughter named Spudulika. Enfield based them on a couple with a similar lifestyle that lived in a flat in the floor below him in his younger days."

sets of fangs on the bottom so fucking big they look like they're half pitbull. Worst Vampire ever: The genetically engineered lumpy mutant that is Dominic Purcell. Even worse than the purple one in Howling 4.

Ghost Rider> That which shall not be named
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Purely for the entertainment factor of that it was also shot in Melbourne. So I kept myself amused by recognising all the landmarks, which was supposed to be Texas or some shit. I also watched it about 18 months ago and barely remember a single thing from it except the hairpiece, which haunts me when the night is at it's darkest.
-
Damn I wish I had a couple of lazy weeks off like Frankie.
-
and it is more entertaining than that which shall not be named. Even though I can barely remember it and I only watched it about a week ago.
-
Knowing which looked like it involved the actual train from Midnight Meat Train, and it had about the same about of CGIness to it as the midnight meat train did. I mean it looked PRETTY LAME. Especially compared to Die Hard 3: Die Hard With a Vengeance. I'm sorry if your gonna do train your just gonna have to make it real. I'm out.
-
but does anyone give a fuck about Natasha Richardson?
-
apart from Liam Neeson. Obviously.
-
While I won't particularly miss her as an actress (what was she in?), it is a tragic accident.
-
Mar 19, 2009 6:31:20 AM CDT
I didn't realise her mother is Vanessa Redgrave
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Quite the film family.
-
might have been the best sci-fi film of the 2008. couple of solid french sci-fi films in 2008 as well. know that it sure in the hell wasn't an american sci-fi film in 2008 winning that title.
looking forward to the 2nd part of Inhabited Island. -
Funny, that's how I felt after I had seen Ghost Rider.
-
but I can't think of anything she was in and to be honest, I don't think she did anything that I care about at all. I find these public outpourings of fake emotion weird. It seems to happen every time someone dies- there's this mass mourning. I just find it a bit strange, that's all.
-
I haven't looked past Twitch today.
-
apart from the Wig. That's strange.
-
because there's a shit load of posts for it. Which I find weird, because I can't think what she looked like, was in or basically anything she ever did.

-
Coughdrop is back with his tedious "Hussein" shite again.

Not sure how I feel about that. Since I only think the first ones good. The second has moments. The third is a complete waste of a very good PSH.

AnimalBalls called you his stalker. That's really funny.
-
Can't wait for that flick. Number Two on my must-see list for this year.
-
I love how apoplectic he becomes when I bring up his old sins. Any point he may have been trying to make goes right out the window. What a cunt.
-
2 and 3 don't really register. 3 was crap and I think it's a bit worse than 2, but with an excellent PSH.

Looks quite good. Didn't the studio butcher it though?

I love the street view from somewhere in Hicktown, USA where a guy in a John Deere cap is walking out of a liquor store with a rifle and case of booze.Regarding Richardson, she wasn't a prolific actress so I only know her from a few roles but as I have a man crush on Liam Neeson, my heart breaks for him.Wolverine trailer have managed to make me interested when before I couldn't care less.Jonah went back to school so that's why he hasn't been on lately.I don't have the energy to address Coughlins anymore. I'm done with the guy.

It's very cool. I also realised Australia has it and have been looking up all my old haunts for the past 40 minutes.

Mar 19, 2009 8:39:13 AM CDT
How would you differentiate between...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
feeding someone to the blender or chipper? Drinking purposes?
-
A 36-year-old Swedish countess divorcing a former CEO says she cannot live on $43 million. Marie Douglas-David, a former investment banker, says she has no income and needs her 67-year-old husband, George David, to pay her more than $53,000 a week, more than most U.S. households make in a year, to cover her expenses. She's asking to be awarded about $100 million in cash and stock, plus $130,000 a month in alimony.And people wonder why I want to butcher the rich.
-
Blender or Chipper?
-
Sole reason. And she should just get stock. If the market keeps plummeting like that then it'll be worth fuck all and she'll have to give hand-jobs for crack
-
In fact, I'd do it up right. I'd rebuild the throne room from Star Wars, line both sides of the aisle with other people of entitlement and march this skank up the steps where the chipper would await her. Afterwards, I'd lock the doors and set the place on fire.
-
If you did that.
-
alone again. *Goes to call Flying Monkeys back as needs the company*
-
Ewwwww.The only nutrition that should result from her demise is as fertilzer.So much like the second movie, I found Transporter 3 unwatchable. I got about 45 minutes in (20 minutes longer than number 2) before deciding to cut my losses and get an extra hour of sleep. I think Statham is the man, but he needs to choose better roles. Stuff like The Bank Job suits him perfectly.
-
what's Everclear?
-
I think it's 190 proof which probably makes it illegal to sell in most places as I think 150 proof is the legal maximum. I don't imagine most people drink it straight but I recall Chitty discussing the merits of mixing it with juice or soft drinks. I don't imagine I'd ever touch the stuff. I had 150 proof whiskey once and tripped out like I was on acid.
-
I've been wondering that.

HOD... How far through Transporter 3 did you get?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
What scene? I made it up to the scene in a garage where he fights a random gang then a tall bloke. Turned it off after that as my eyes were drooping and haven't bothered to go back. That was about two weeks ago. It seems I like Statham despite the cavalcade of shit he keeps subjecting me to. Seriously, can anyone name another actor that has such a smorgasbord of shit on his CV, yet still remains somewhat likable? I can't think of a single one.

In answer to my question... Yes. It was.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Donaldson has some A-Grade genius on his CV and some quality B-Grade schlock. No Way Out, White Sands and Thirteen Days kick ass. Species and Dante's Peak are mighty entries into the "Is it good? No. Is it awesome? Fuck yes." sub-genre.

Sneaking a hip flask full of Wild Turkey and doing the ol' pre-trailers mix it up in the cinema. Despite being shitfaced, the flick sucked balls. Maybe I'll do that when The Expendables comes out. Not that I think it'll be shit. But it will be a flick that benefits from intoxication.

What the fuck happened to that guy? Has he really sunk to stone faced, monotone voiced introductions to "Number 27. The theme from St Elmos Fire. St Elmos Fire." I blame that space movie he did with Dennis Hopper where they pilot a fucking dump truck or something. Fuck knows what that flick was.

-
When I was a kid we used to drink it all the time. It's funny that people outside the US have no idea what it is. We also used to buy it when it was premixed with grape juice. It was called Purple Passion. Somebody always seemed to have a bottle of that.

Sadly, there wasn't one action sequence that I thought was original or thrilling.Statham has so much goodwill from Lock Stock, Snatch, Crank, The Italian and Bank Jobs that I'll let The Transporter trilogy slide. And he was quite good in Cellular.

I had fun with it. Was it a good movie? nope, but it was enjoyable as hell. It was by far Anderwanks best work since Event Horizon. Statham did His usual good job in a bad movie and it gets major props from me for using practical car stunts with very little CGI.

At least until I see World War Z. I'm all for alternitive and creative horror, but I want my world-wide zombie invasion, complete with the Battle of Yonkers, cannabalism in Canada, and zombies rising up from the depths of swamps and oceans.

Upcoming Neil Marshall flicks (according to Wiki)
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Centurion - In AD 117, the legendary Roman legion known as the Ninth Legion is led by General Virilus to wipe out the Picts and to kill their leader Gorlacon. The legion is joined by Quintus Dias, a survivor from a Roman frontier fort that the Picts raided. Outpost - In June 2005, Neil Marshall announced after the completion of The Descent that he would be working on two projects: The Eagle's Nest and Outpost. Having completed a third draft of the Outpost script at the time, Marshall planned to begin filming Outpost first before the end of 2005. He said that the stars from Dog Soldiers, Sean Pertwee and Kevin McKidd may appear in Outpost. The following July, Marshall completed a deal with Pathé to produce the film, but said that the project would be on the backburner for the time being. Marshall said in July 2006 that Outpost would be about zombies terrorizing an oil rig, but that he would not begin producing the film until 2008 due to the influx of zombie films.
The Eagle's Nest - Marshall initially described The Eagle's Nest as a World War II action-adventure that would be a hybrid of Die Hard (1988) and The Remains of the Day (1993).[6] The following July, Marshall described The Eagle's Nest as an action adventure tribute to films like Where Eagles Dare (1968) and The Eagle Has Landed (1976). Marshall said The Eagle's Nest would be about a rescue attempt for a parachutist, Rudolph Hess, who lands in Scotland during World War II. The rescue is botched, and Hess is taken by a German unit to a country castle. The Sword and the Fury -
In July 2005, Marshall described a project called The Sword and the Fury, which would be a heist film that takes place in medieval times. According to the director, the story takes place 30 years after the death of King Arthur when his sword Excalibur is stolen. Arthur's queen Guinevere hires a band of thieves to steal it back. Sacrilege - In March 2008, Neil Marshall announced his involvement to write and direct Sacrilege, a horror film that would take place in the Old West. Marshall described the film, "It is set during the Gold Rush, a time remembered for incidents like the Donner Party. It is meant to be a pitch-black, gritty, period horror movie." The film will be themed on paranoia and isolation, and the director will draw inspiration from the 1982 film The Thing. "This is Unforgiven by way of H.P. Lovecraft, with that grim, gritty setting and a horror element nobody has seen before," Marshall said. Drive - Also in March 2008, Universal signed Marshall to direct Drive, a film about a Hollywood stunt driver who is also a getaway driver in heists, starring Hugh Jackman. The movie is based on the novel by James Sallis. Marshall would like to start shooting in the summer of 2008. All sound like flicks I'd like to see, and none sound anything like that Doomsday rubbish. -

It was quite possibly the most retarded bunch of nonsense ever put on film. Marshall had no idea what kind of movie he wanted to make so he said screw it and tossed everything at the wall to see what would stick.Was it a good movie? No. Was it awesome? I think so.For whatever reason I watched My Blue Heaven and Uncle Buck last night. Both films are genius. Unfortunately neither one of them has a decent transfer.

"Ever hear of a ritual killing?" I haven't seen My Blue Heaven in at least 15 years. Will have to check it out.

How are things?Not stopping long, just hanging about here in a place with a fancy computer and one a them internet tubes, so I thought I'd say a quick hello.HELLO!I have seen many films, some of which I plan to ramble about when I'm back to work (ballsacks!) next week. I will say this now, though. That Indiana Jones film? The one with the skulls? Shit. Really, fucking shit. Honestly, I was sure it wasn't that bad when I saw it at the cinema, but it was hard to get through on DVD. Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Ridiculous Shit. And Shia! Fuck, I can't stand that guy, especially when he's doing a terrible Marlon Brando impersonation. Who's idea was that?Anyway, I hope all are keeping well, watching shit, talking shit and whatnot.Have a good weekend. See you next week, you cunts.
-
Apart from being a kick-ass maker of genre films, I would also contend that Marshall is a better creator of cinematic homages than Tarantino. Seriously, if Tarantino had made Doomsday, Rhona would have been driving a V8 Interceptor, Vernon Wells would cameo and there would be a tavern called "Rockatansky's". Also, characters would sit around and discuss Jim Wynorski movies.
I ♥ Neil Marshall -
It's good. You too will soon understand that it is possible for a guy named Cyrill to be cool.Alright, I'm off for beer and a Pieminster pie.Cheers!
-
Biros rule.
-
That's something I said back when Indy IV was getting almost universally favorable reviews: it is not a movie that will hold up well to repeat viewings by those who enjoyed it in the theater. And that is coming true. Hell, even Harry admitted in his DVD column that a repeat viewing has revealed things he didn't like about the film. In 10 years it will be universally despised.
-
I watched Indy 4 at the cinema and then on dvd. Both times I enjoyed it, and both times the things that annoyed me were the same. For me it's an okay flick. Not on par with the originals by any means, but gets unfairly maligned. Rewatching Iron Man was more interesting. I loved it at the cinema, but after watching it again on dvd I found I was a little bored. Didn't expect that at all.
-
What films do live up to repeat viewings? Not defending Indy IV (even if I dug it), but I find I rewatch very few films. There's many six that I watch more than three times a year.
-
Deadline beaten. But I'm fucking sleepy. Pox on work. Doomsday was 7 shades of Awesome, each one a slightly deeper awesome than the one preceeding it. All those new Marshall films sound great.

every day for the rest of my life. That said, there are no flicks I consistently watch more than once in a year, inc BTTF. I did watch TDK three times last year, but I won't be doing that every year.
-
saw in the cinema. Thought "meh". Read all vitriol aimed at it, and watched it again and thought "meh, but getting closer to shit". The end is daibolically awful, and I struggled to care after the nuked fridge.
-
You'll be maligning the crap out of it.And I agree. Iron Man isn't going to age very well either.Oddly enough, the first big screen superhero adaptation, Superman, is one of the few that holds up best upon repeat viewings.
-
holds up to repeat viewings. Alien, Aliens and Alien 3, Total Recall, Blade Runner. There's loads of them.
-
Mar 20, 2009 9:46:38 AM CDT
Superman is still fucking awesome every time
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I don't think I'll be negative towards it in 10 years. I just think I'll be a little disappointed it wasn't better. I'll get over it by going and watching Raiders.
-
Not seen it again, I've got a feeling I won't like it second time round. French Hulk holds up to repeat viewings. Unlike Chinese Hulk which doesn't hold up to 1 viewing.
-
Fuck off. After two aborted attempts to watch it I finally sat through it. I'll never watch Blade Runner again. All those others? Yes.
-
Fuck - it's hard to take your Indy IV hatred seriously when you praise Alien 3. I mean... I do think you hate Indy IV, but Alien 3? One of the few films I watched and saw nothing redeeming in. Nothing to suggest 'hey, a DC might improve elements.'
-
it's just going to look Hokey and try hard. Not that it matters a jot, becuase I won't watch it again.
-
French Hulk is even more mind numbing than the first time. And thats after the first viewing had already made me infinitely stupider. French Hulk is moronic shit that no one will remember in 10 years.

When asked if he would have anything to do with the movie, Brooks stated that he had "zero control", but admitted that he would love to see Brad Pitt have a role in the movie[1] and thought Straczynski was a great choice to write the script.[29][30] In an interview with Fangoria, Brooks said, "I can’t give it away, but Straczynski found a way to tie it all together. The last draft I read was amazing."

To me, there are loads of movies I could watch every year
by hawaiian organ donor
Predator, Alien, Shawshank, Robocop, LA Confidential, 12 Angry Men, North By Northwest, Children of Men, Lethal Weapon, Roger Rabbit, Last Boy Scout, E.T., Life Of Brian, Strangelove, Apocalypto, Pulp Fiction, Last of the Mohicans, In Bruges, Blade, Casablanca, Three Kings, The Crow, Eraser, Galaxy Quest, Kingpin, Full Metal Jacket, The Incredibles, Witness, Major League, Tombstone, Zodiac, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead....I could go on and on.And those are just off the top of my head and don't include the b-movie schlock we all agree on and I tried to leave out too much obvious stuff like Die Hard and Raiders.And considering that list includes recent films, it goes to show Hollywood does still make new classics.
-
totally underrated. And I think it's the only film where Sigourney Weaver looked fuckable. I normally hate Tim "Tool Twat" Allen as well.
-
You guys know me, so many of those would be a given.Considering I've bought four or five hundred movies and many of those were VHS replacements, I think it's clear there are enough older movies I'm willing to rewatch to the point where I could go years without watching anything new.

I think there are loads of flicks I COULD watch
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
every year. Like many of those you mentioned. It's just that I've almost killed a few flicks in the past by constant repeat viewing. I like to keep the classics waiting in the wings for when I need a bit of a pick me up, or when I've had a run of absolute shit (which seems to happen more frequently these days).
-
Yep. Completely underrated. The ONLY flick starring The Tool which I would gladly watch again. It was pitch perfect combination of satire and homage. And yes, blonde Weaver was astonishingly fuckable in that jumpsuit.
-

And use them as background noise. I can understand doing that if you switch it up and listen to the commentary tracks but listening/watching the same film 5 or more times a year would even make me hold Jaws in disgust.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Murray is genius in that. And Woody "milking" the bull and taking a sip out of the bucket is one of the funniest things I can remember in a flick. Amish dude: "We don't have a cow. We have a bull." Pause. Woody: "I'm just going to go brush my teeth."

I used to listen to virtually every one I could. Most of them are complete shit though. The Rat Race commentary is great. Actually I can't remember if its a commentary or special feature, but basically the director just sits there ringing everyone in the movie and talking to them. Very entertaining. Lovitz was especially funny.

Is the perfect delivery of the line. Something like "It took a while, but I got them off." And he looks so pleased with himself. And Quaid freaking out about the tiny tattoo on his belly, and he turns around so we see the massive tat of the big breasted chick on his back. Genius. I haven't seen it in years and years, but I remember it very well.
-
Hrm. I read that article before I scrolled down to the picture and in my mind I pictured one of the ugliest cracked out bitches in the world. Then I scroll down and the girl is totally hot. She looks like a college girl. That is the most disturbing part.
-
I'll ignore Ghost.Damn, Droid, great memory. The scene with Woody throwing up after sticking it to his landlady is gold. I might have to put that in this weekend.
-
Definatly very underrated.
When the chick looks at Roy and says "must be tough spanking your monkey.."
Then Quaid stops drinking and looks up with a serious look "You have a monkey?"
Classic -
Munson: "Hows life?"
Old guy: "Taking forever.." -
Good quotes, chaps.
-
Roy tells her no thanks and the hot chick corrects him..
"She said handsome, not handless.."
Damn that is a quotable movie -
Kingpin is infinitely quotable.Neighbor: Hey Roy, can you get sick from drinking piss?
Roy: I think you can.
Neighbor: Even if its your own? -
he's talking about something I posted above. hey, look, it's a tiny URL! http://tinyurl.com/cjrt6t
-
Feels like years have passed.
I'm watching Kingpin and Uncle Buck this weekend after reading these quotes.
And the Host again of course. -
By far the Farrely Brothers best work not involving either the Boston Red Soxs or Rhode Island.The scene in that movie that gets me is when Roy has to fuck his land lady. Oh christ is that scene like 20 differnt kinds of wrong.
-
Munson: "I'm unable to have children..ehhh a nasty cheese-grating accident.."
-
Landlady: What is it about good sex that makes me have to crap? You really jarred something loose tiger.Claudia: Your act is about as fresh as a Foghat concert.Roy: The world can really kick your ass. I only have a VAGUE recollection of when it wasn't kickin' mine.
-
When he milked the bull.
"She didn't do anything at first, then POW! All at once!" -

Don't even get me started on the Uncle Buck quotes
by hawaiian organ donor
Girlfriend:I'd really like to hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet before I die.Buck: I'll buy you a mouse and a piece of sheet metal.
-
Munson: "What about some novelty condoms for the bathroom machine?"
Owner: "We don't have one."
Munson: "And you call this a bowling alley?" -
I've got Outlander and Good Bad Weird ready to ship to you.
-
Since someone mentioned it. Tony Goldwyn was on some late show talking about being the bad guy in ghost and he said that it has caused problems in his life. He said that one time this lady came up to him and was like, I don't know you but for some reason I hate you.
-
I want Good The Bad and The Weird? Can you hook a brother up?
-
"Hi Buck Melanoma! Macy Russell's wart! Oops what I mean is they call me melanoma. Ole Buck Melanoma. Uncle melanoma head."
-

Same thing happened to Billy Zane after Titanic
by hawaiian organ donor
I'm convinced that movie ruined his career.
-
address is the same.
I caught Outlander and loved it.
I've definatly heard good things about The Good, The Bad, The Weird.
I may be coming to NC in the near future. My brother-in-law now lives in Ashville. -
My favorite part about that book is either Quaid taking a shit in the urinal or the image of Murry bowling in the final frames with that ridiculous hair.
-
Don't worry. I've got your Outlander, Ip Man, Red Cliff 2 and TGTBTW pack ready too. I know I've been promising them for a while now but I was holding out for proper releases of some of them. I sent the first batch out this week. Your batch goes out on Monday.
-
I'll probably end up buying Outlander, even with its stupid DVD cover.
-
We used to pour powersteering fluid in a buddy's carb and it would smoke like that.
-
That's pitch perfect comedy.Chitty, let me know when you're coming my way. We can spend an afternoon throwing back Arrogant B's and Fat Tire's.
-
Quad's iced nipples. Whatever happened to the bird in it?
-
Or I love you man?
-
I'll buy the official release myself when it comes out (mine is from Japan). In the meantime you can watch it to your heart's content.
-
god that makes me laugh. And big props for my Blue Heaven: "Shit, there's enough of us around, we may as well start a crime wave"
-
I have almost wore The Host out.
Love that movie. -
but I don't care because I've only got 10 mins more of work and an epic drunkening tonight followed by the 12 hour bender that is Six Nations final day. I will be unable to speak by the time the championship match comes on.
-
I fucking despise AnimalBalls.
-
Or just those 22 oz bottles?
My bro-in-law called like he had just been laid by the entire female cast of Friday Night Lights.
"Holy shit I just found Fat Tire!"
I hung up on him in a mad fit of jealous rage. -
See Twilight? Me and lady friend are going to rent it just to see what the fucking deal is.
-
She had a face like a roadblock but a body that rated a 4 on the finger scale.Even Jarv likes it so we might have another unanimous movie for the CoC archives.
-
Because its just random people spouting off random shit. Which is ok every once and a while but I bores me.
-
Claudia. What the fuck ever happened to her?
-
Guinness. Lots of it. Ireland are about to become the best team in the Northern Hemisphere so therefore it is a fucking commandment to drink shit loads of the black stuff.
-
It was on the other night.
So was Sawyer from Lost -
Forgot just how great the extra stout is.
-
But we can now get it.I refuse to watch Twilight.I was surprised by how quotable My Blue Heaven and Uncle Buck are."I bet I could even circumsize a gnat."
-
Johnathan Deep has that annoying faux British accent in the new Public Enemies?
-
Yes, I was referring to the link Xiphos had.
-
"You should see the french toast, I couldn't even get it in the door!"
-
Money for good beer. And I live in a state where shit beer is made even worse due to the fact that its only 3% alcohol. Its pretty much beer flavored water.
-
"Open up! Open up dammit I'm going to throw my load in ya!"
Then dog licks that chick's face and she screams...
Classic. -
What's the difference between a blonde and a washing machine?When you dump a load in a washing machine it doesn't follow you around for a week.
-
The maximum alcohol level there is 3%?It was 5% here in NC before they finally ditched that antiquated crap last year so now I spend my nights in double filtered IPA heaven.
-
You can get higher percentage beer around here. But you have to go to liquor stores and they are closed by 9 and not open on Sundays. And you can't buy it cold. And you can't get normal Bud, Coors any of that in liquor stores nor in restaurants or bars.
-
I was drinking 40% whisky last night. Granted with a mixer, but still... damn their incomptenece.
-
That nonsense is like Nova Scotia. Only the government can sell booze so the Liquor Commission (their version of an ABC store) sells wine, beer and spirits. Can't buy beer or wine in a grocery store. And booze is slapped with a "sin" tax so it costs an arm and a leg.Never so goddamned happy as I was when I moved away. Living there did give me the inspiration to brew my own beer though.
-
That was disgusting. There's a couple that should not be allowed to breed. How the heck did you run across that story?
-
I tried to make my own Watchmen T-Shirt, but it didn't... quite... work.
-
Just paint yourself blue...
-
Do with the bible? What ever the fuck that is.
-
Howdy do?
-
How's it hanging? Tradition. ;)
-
Not hanging at all - in a jar!
-
What've you been up to lately?
-
Fred has been working on top secret project with an Amoeba not to be named. Fred has also been busy with work and family.
Fred has missed you and the gang. -
Wait a second... Fredday - Freddy... FREDDY KRUEGER?!?
-
But still one of the Fred family
-
The unnamed amoeba is at his tricks again, eh? Sounds like fun.
-
Mar 20, 2009 2:22:33 PM CDT
The unnamed amoeba is closer to being a Krueger than Fred.
by mavra chang
Couldn't happen.
-
Do you know that your secret project comrade has been posting on here?
-
Mar 20, 2009 2:25:47 PM CDT
He has been skimming some of the Stimulus money
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Ninja Fred had to rescue him - once again. The FBI had him cornered.
-
On top of 5-6 Guinness/Smithwicks half-and-halfs.
-
has he said anything incriminating?
-
Then you will be Freds_Balls_in_a_Pickle_Jar.
-
Sounds like something Chitty Chitty would do.
-
Always in Casanova mode. Oddly enough, when he posts, it always sounds a little like Danny....
-
How were you afterwards? I know someone who did that Tuesday and was sick all the next day. They curdled on him.
-
10cl of whisky mixed with a fuck-load of diet coke.
-
It's a wonder any of you can function as well as you do.
-
Bailey's, Guinness, and Jameson.
-
Anything good out?
-
I actually enjoyed a great deal more than I thought i would. It's not as filled with action as I had expected, but the story's not bad and the visuals work well with the narrative. Think Sky Captain meets The Matrix and every anime you have ever seen or heard of.
-
Taken was good. Not realistic, but action-packed. The documentary for 30 Years of Friday the 13th turned out to be better than the new movie. I liked The Watchmen, but I hadn't read the comics so I had no preformed expectations.
-
Very funny stuff. Actually Mavra Chang, Fred has been doing some re-writing of a one act play that has a deadline submission date rapidly approaching
-
Haven't heard enough about it to elaborate beyond that.I just walked out of a meeting where women were crying. So I need a good stiff drink or six tonight.
-
They make me procrastinate worse than I normally do.
-
You'll have to have some words with Danny. I believe he's semi-impersonating you over at the other site. Of course, he could think it's more of an homage.
-
Mar 20, 2009 2:46:26 PM CDT
Really enjoyed Taken. I feel very bad for Liam Neeson
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
He has the great high of an uxexpectd massive hit, but then the unbearable loss of his wife so suddenly. Fred also saw Watchmen. Big fan of the comic book. But the movie, while ambitious, mostly missed the mark and came across as the filmic version of a xerox copy. It was mostly lifeless - and too long.
-
Was it about squid?
-
But I didn't like the original (Didn't even finish it,), so I have no plans to watch the remake.
-
Mar 20, 2009 2:51:14 PM CDT
The chick from Kingpin was also Lisa...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
in the Weird Science tv show that was surprisingly funny back in the day.
-
Have you seen Danny, Stuntcock Mike, and Abom's new site?
-
Now that you've seen Cashern and you know how much the Brothers W like to use techniques from Asian cinema. How much do you think Cashern influenced Speed Racer? Keep in mind that Cashern used to be an old ass animie as well.
-
was a remake? I am reading Ebert review of I love you man and he said that Rudd and Segal would be good for a remake of School for Scoundrels.... I guess Ebert hasn't seen/heard of the Todd Phillips update? Well he hasn't seen Forgetting Sarah Marshell either....well I haven't seen either of them as well.
-
Mar 20, 2009 3:01:41 PM CDT
Series... I saw the remake of School for Scoundrels
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
and wish I could fucking forget it. It's shit. Knowing is out here next week. Will be seeing it then. I love you, man looks like it could be good. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was pretty enjoyable.
-
What is it called?

It looks right up their alley. That said, I think the Wachowskis had already come into their own fairly early on. They are just as much as part of this live action anime style as many of the Japanese directors. There're many American films that utilized the same techniques in the movie. they are just so different in tone, many people hardly notice it. Movies like Sin City, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and 300 all used a lot of green screen and CG. And truthfully, I have enjoyed 100% of the movies I have seen that utilize such a fun visual style.
-
The Star Wars prequels. Hate on the dialogue and bad acting all you like, but you have gotta admit some of those visuals are simply amazing.
-
Lucas is shit with directors, but he's awesome with visuals. Ideally, they'd have Lucas doing the visuals and someone else doing the actor directing.
-
These CG heavy films tend to have a sense of bareness about them. Background hardly have more than a dozen people in them. The reality is very focused and minute. It works for something like Sin City, which is so minimalist in the first place, but for something like 300, parts just looked stale or fake.
-
I Love you man was actually pretty funny. Much better then the Apatow shit.
-
I like the Crow alright, and Dark City is fucking great.
-
Just the whole concept of taking and old anime and updating it. I bet the Brothers W. saw cashern and was like, ok that's how were doing Speed. That or since one of the brothers was big in the Drag's for a while, maybe that is where he got his love for flare.
-
What the Hell am I drinking? Diet Coke....... fuck, I'm amateur.
-
I could also imagine the CG team that made iron Man could make really good aerial fights for a Dragonball movie, and actually make it look cool. There's no point in actually doing a live action anime remake if you can't create any visuals to justify the change of medium.
-
Hrm. It seems like an exact mix of National Treasure and Next, but I am still curious about it. Proyas is a visionary.
-
Advance tickets to Hannah Montana are out!!!
-
Not by me, by Series7.
-
They showed a clip on Letterman while The Rage Cage spent the whole time talking about hang gliding. It was the same train scene from Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance, but done in a way that looks like it should have been in Speed Racer. It looked WAY too cartoony.
-
Maybe later tonight. I should be JOB hunting but I'm watching a documentary about the Zucker brothers.
-
Finally an episode were I can say that, Yes Mr. President I am a fan of Lost.
-
I completely forgot about it on Wednesday. It was a really good episode. It was so refreshing to have them actually address the status of all the characters at once.
-
I did a video review of it for MyMavra.
-
Does Movie Phone has these commercials with supposed movie phone users talking about movies, when they are oviously ex or current fucking Mad TV people? So fucking lame, worst yet that I know they are on Mad TV and I don't think I've ever seen a whole episode. That is how bad that show is, you remember the faces of those that hurt you
-
But remember its only 3% alcohol beer...so its gonna take a while to get drunk. Its too bad that we aren't like a group of college buddies talking on AIM or some shit, or I'd say come on over to drink and watch movies since I am home alone today.
-
Forget that Ghost was directed by one of the Airplane guys.
-
Got told I shouldn't wake up that early because I have no reason to - but people assume that I'm actually pleasant in the mornings.
-
I always knew Patrick Swayze was gay! He just said that filming Ghost he feel in love with Jerry Zucker.
-
Why you gotta be up at 5 in the AM on a Saturday? You got community service you need to complete?
-
You gotta like Roger Clemens as a baddie in it. And Bill Murray's hair.
-
Hey man just watched your Lost video on Marva site. And first off gotta say totally agree with you on every point. Secondly I couldn't understand a word you were saying? I'm pretty sure it was British but man you got yourself an accent there and you need to speak closer to the mic I really couldn't hear what you were saying. For most of it you just sounded like a Welshmen.
-
Either of you chaps line Ben Templesmith? I just finished up Welcome to Hoxford, it was pretty cool. He just had a new comic come out and the cover was the typical Alien face, I had to get it. Haven't read it though.
-
Kick-Ass DUHH!!! I'm getting tired of answering this question for that stupid banner ad. Speaking of Kick Ass, I've never seen anything suck its own dick as hard as that comic does.
-
SOOO for those of you enamered with the trivial aspects of Series 7 life here is some CRAZY shit. So I was looking up information about the movie the Amateurs, and Judy Greer is in it. So I was looking up some info on her and I turned on Monday's episode of House. Guess who happens to be having a guest spot this week on House???? Judy Greer. See this isn't a HUGE coincidence, its just that for my fans, they will know that it is the second time this has happened to me this week.
-
There is this picture from Survivor Styly + 5 on the banner for Twich over there with some girl sitting on a car spitting fire. Damn I need to see that movie, fucking shitty ass computer.
-
It's hilarious and wholly unique. There's a couple of scenes in that movie that will still get me laughing just thinking about them.
-
I keep thinking that he is in the Ameatures and that is why it didn't go to theaters, because for some reason that studios don't like Allen in anything that could be funny. But he's not in it, but it still has a big enough cast to not have gotten shafted. I'll add it the queue.
-
Sounds like Lars and Real Girl. Hopefully it doesn't suck the life out of me like that movie did.
-
I notice some Tim Allen chatter this morning and I did not see any reference to this amazing movie. I love this movie, anyone else like it?
-
that paticularly disgusting nugget is from The Smoking Gun which I usually look at every couple of days.
-
good to see you back.
-
Was pretty good and they did a decent job of adapting the source material for the most part. Although I thought Banky/Earl was miscasted as the homeless dude but Putty from Seinfeld was genius casting as the goofy cop.
-
Has the weakest part. That movie just warms the cockles of my heart for some reason. Xiphos did you set up brackets anywhere?
-
Yeah I did at yahoo but I don't think you can join now that the tourny started. But just in case you can here's the info.Go to yahoo sports and hit the tournement Pick'em button.You will see a buton that says join a group hit that.You will need the following info. The name of the group is the C of C, Id #146897 and because I'm a jerk and people in the pool are grads of UCLA, UNC etc I'm making people sign it with the password Sun devils. Hehehehehe
-
Favorite song makes it into the finale. BAM!
-
--it was love at first sight-
-
that's the important question
-
I need to buy a mic. And I'm off to see Watchmen in Cardiff. Which is a few hours away.
-
Fuck BS. The season finale of Clone Wars was on tonight? Did you watch it Lord D. Vader? And better yet there is a contest to win $5,000!! I could use that I hope i win.
-
Man that movie looks pretty cool. I don't know why I thought Steaphen Rea was in it though? I want to have a double feature with that and Wolverine. Hopefully 12 Rounds becomes the next Paul Blart/Taken and stays in theaters for forever. We were waiting for $1 theaters to see those flicks, but it doesn't look like they'll ever come.
-
Hope you enjoy Watching Men as much as I did. Thought personally I could've done with a bit more dong. Cardiff can't remember if I've been there, but isn't it in the middle of nowhere? Where do you live?
-
I have The Marine on DVD. What I saw made it look like an Ahnuld style 80s films... and what, seriously, isn't awesome about that?
-
Aberystwyth. Watchmen wise... it has to be brilliant or so bad it's awesome. If it's watchable, or if it's boring, I'll be very annoyed.
-
I'll really have to fight not to laugh at his character. Fuck, the guy looks absolutely nothing like the comic-book character.
-
Has a European Accent. While in the comic he's Matt Damon. The comic is very American, which brought up the question, ummm why aren't their any super/masked heroes in other countries. Then they made Ozymandias Hans Gruber for the movie. Also pay attention to the part at the end with the newpaper editors talking about a new president. Maybe you can full explain to me why they said Ronald Regan rather then Redford like in the comic.
-
It's niether.What Watchmen shows is that nobody in Hollywood should ever listen to the opinions of Fanboys ever again because they are idjits. The movie suffed badly from hewing to close to the comic strip.
-
I mean 12 Rounds looks like a sequel to that movie. After The Condemned which was amazing but suffered from pre Rambo action movie editing and utilized Microsoft Movie Maker's Quick Cut edit function too much it was still pretty sweet. So I have hope for WWE produced movies to be a good time. I mean I saw the Condemned in the theaters, it was me and my lady friend that was it, granted it was a small town in the only theater on a weeknight, but still it was like opening week and I lived in OK where WWE people are more known then the president. John Cena is a very likable guy to boot, he has a sort of Dwayne Johnson about him. He was on SNL last weekend (not for the Rock's visit though?) but for Tracy Morgan's. He has a good sense of humor, he was on Conan all the time and was funny. I think he is on Fallon next week, I'll see if he's still got it. If they make a new Naked Gun, he would be the perfect replacement for the OJ character.
-
Did you read the comic? If so recently or like a while back before you ever knew of Zach Snyder?
-
And last week was actually good, so that means its like 2 for 29 but I still watch? And they had some T-100 metal in a box and it like slithered off Anaconda/aybess style. OHHH SHIT Snakes on a Sub. Oh yeah they are on a Sub.
-
Is getting his quote displayed ALL over the new Bolt DVD ad, and I quote it says. "BEST DISNEY FILM SINCE THE INCREDIBLES" Now I may not be as successful as Disney, nor may I even be able to animate, nor am I that one talkbacker who hates pixar because obviously he couldn't get a job there (i met this guy when Wall-E was coming out and he was just hating on it, come to find out that he has a web site with his computer animation and trying to make a living off it. but he denied ever trying to get a job with pixar, I call BS) but still I am smarter then your average american. Now I know that The Incredibles grossed more then Wall-E, but it was still only 37,629,414 of a difference. Which is not that much, in terms of Disney Pixar box office, I mean thats what? An opening day? So why down play the success of Wall-E which is still probably doing good DVD money? I mean Disney is just a front for making money now. I see that the color scheme of Bolt is very similar to the Incredibles as well which I always thought was weird, and they have sort of similar ideas. Now I have not seen Bolt, I don't know why it seems like the perfect film for me and my lady friend seeing that we have an amazing dog who could be a superhero, but that is not the point, and I am pissed we never saw it (it still showing the $1 theaters though). Also who the fuck is Robert W. Butler? And what picture could he possible have that is SO incriminating that he got his bad quote as the big one for the potentially huge DVD hit for Bolt? Hurph? I may have to eat my words about all that. A quick check to Rotten T's and I am going through the top critics take on Bolt and all the positive ones almost sound negative. They are like, great but not pixar level. Not as good as Wall-E but still ok, "The story is somewhat predictable, but it's sweet and happy and the animation is first-rate." MMMM maybe that was the best quote Disney could find on it? Jeez now I feel like an ass. Though at the same time, does a Disney movie really need pull quotes to generate buzz? I mean TWBB had a Harry Knowles quote as its like 3-5 quote on the website and probably on some trailers. Anyone remember going to the theaters almost 1-2 years before Nightwatch ever came out seeing those posters and seeing Harry's "Cool As Hell" quote on there and thinking, DAMNIT when is that going to come out? Then it never did till like a year later, and for one weekend.
-
Really?? OHH NO! Stop the presses, this needs to be reported on? I don't have a fucking job, give me all the jobs of the fucking new people that had to write something on that story. The fucking second movie hasn't even been started and they are worried about the third? I mean we can all guess that the second will be shit since its directed by the "the special effects are too much for me" so I'll quit and come back later director of the now Oscar winning for best special effects movie the Coke Cola commercial from 1991... I mean Golden Compass. Damnit I need to hit someone! OH! You smacked me! Yeah I know I was really angry and wanted to hit you but I didn't know what to do. - Its from I love you man, a funny part if you will.
-
I concur. I'm a Watchmen fanboy... but the comic-book is a comic-book. My initial choice would be someone to say 'look, I like the comic-book... but I'm adapting a story. Not translating it.'
-
That's hilarious... it's been, what, three years since The Incredibles, tops? Fucking moron.
-
This is just about as stupid as the last new worthy article. First off isn't Thor Gay? Secondly if he is then Natalie Portman is manish enough looking that she could pass for a man, shit I wouldn't due her with DickBloods dick. Also who the fuck cares who the female in a superhero movie is? Did anyone go see TDK because it stared the Thing instead of Katie Holms? Did anyone see Fantastic Four becaus...wait argument doesn't hold up for that one. But OK did anyone see Electra because Alias was in it? What about Iron Man, was there even a female in either of the Hulk films?
-
... was made better by Gwyneth Paltrow. Refreshing to see a woman in a comic-book film who wasn't a harping shrew.
-
Now I that I know that Terry Gilliam was attached at one point to make a Watchmen movie and ultimatly turned it down because he said that it needed to be a 4 part miniseries rather then a movie. And it was going to have Robin Williams (who was still good back then) as Rorschach and Gary Busey as the Comedian, and both Richard Gere and Kevin Costner considered for the role of NiteOwl and Jamie Lee Curtis as Silk. I wish that version was actually made, because how nutty would that have been?
-
I don't remember, I saw it twice once high in theaters and once on the DVD's. I prefer to remember the trailer which was the movie with all the boring parts cut out, including any signs of the mother of Apple being in it.
-
Check this newsworthy awesomeness!!! http://themovieblog.com/2009/03/canadian-actor-starts-online-campaign-to-play-thor TINY! http://tinyurl.com/czy2ub Its awesome and news worthy because the dude was in the greatest fucking movie in the past century, Outlander!!!! Yeah that's right I liked the shields scene so what? Wanna fight about it?
-
Goes back to when they orginally issued the funny book. Over the last seven or eight years I've reread the graphic novels like 8 or tens times so I'm familiar with it.Agreed, Mr. Z, that's the problem with with making funny book adaptations. Movies and books are two seperate mediums that have way different needs. Sometimes this fact is lost on the more pointy headed of the fanboy bunch. Translate ideas and themes more so then every last panel of the comic strip.
-
Is bad. Like fucking boring and lame and blah blah blah blah. Needs more something....hmmm needs more someone with a pair. The biggest pair on this show belongs to the singer from the band Garbage, why the fuck is she an actor now? I'm only happy when she sings (and sings her own songs, not crappy James Bond themes for one of the worst bond movies wasting the best Bond. Yeah that's right I said Pierce Brosnan was the best bond? So what wanna fight about it? Even if his enemy was the guy from Brazil.)
-
So you read the book when it was coming out issue by issue? That is cool. I hate how all the late night people and talk show host are like, EWWW gotta call it a graphic novel not a comic? Who the fuck made that rule? It was a fucking comic and will always be a comic? It came out issue by issue, graphic novel are a one dump sort of thing. My history with the Watching Men book is that I finished it 2 hours for the first time before I sat my ass down in this theater http://www.warrentheatres.com/index.asp A little plug, trying to get a job there to help raise funds for my comic purchasing time in my life. And I fucking loved the movie. Mainly because going hand and hand with the comic makes for a good Penn to a Teller. My lady friend who thinks comics are for idiots and losers hated the whole thing. I applauded the movie for sticking to the novel, because I don't think the whole thing would have worked if they took it in another direction, or did their own thing. Seeing that Watchmen is a one off thing, you can't really do much with it before you create something different entirely. I mean 200 and Sin City and Ghost World were all one off comics/graphic novels and they stayed pretty close to the source material. Movies like B-man, I-man, H-man, Elektra and what not you can do your own thing because you got 600+ issues to reference on what it could be like. I mean I wonder if Marvel heard about Watchmen and how Zach Snyder was going to be putting a still life comic as a movie and thought who was the best person at ever doing that? Well it was Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet, which is a note for note translation of the book. So maybe they have and issue of Thor they want turned into a movie, plus Thor seems like he is Shakespearean in a way.

Gone totally Bruce Wayne for Bale pops and is souly devoted to his Bale web site that won't even poop up on a Google search?

I thought the slavish adherence to the source material hurt the flow and pace of the film. I'm glad they jettisoned the fish as the dues ex machina because I thought it was dumb to begin with. In the comic they should have blamed the whole thing on Dr. Detroit. Now I know they tried to do just that in the movie but it didn't work there, at all. On the other hand they did hit a home run with Rorschach and the Comedian so that was good. Silk Spectre 1 was good except for the old age make up and SS2 was servicable but not much more. Ozy sucked and Nite owl was good.Now I'm curious to see what they do with the Black Frighter story because of the change with the giant sea animone thing from the book.

2 or more movies in the top 50 of IMDB top movies. Fincher 21 and 33 (Fight Club and Seven. FFC G1 and G2 and Apocalypse Now (2 and 3 and 35). Chris Nolan TDK and Memento (6 and 27). Alfred Hitch, Rear Window, Psycho, North By SouthEast, and Vertigo(16, 23, 28, 41). Stanley Ku Dr. Strangelove Paths of Glory (26, 42) Honorable Mention Clockwork Orange 51. The Bearded One Steven Schindler's List and Raiders of the Lost Ark (7, 18). Sergio Leone The Good the Bad, and Once Upon a West (4 and 19). Peter Jackson Ring 3, Ring 1 and Ring 2 (14, 20 and 32). Billy Wilder It's a Wonderful Life and Double Indemnity (31 and 47). AND Martin Scorsese Godfella, Taxi Driver and The Departed (15, 37 and 50) I think that's it. The weird ones I see on the list. The Departed (I mean Martin Scorsese short film with a dude shaving his face and bleeding was better then that (American Dad made a reference to that short and I think that is why I love that show)). Slumdog, will be gone soon. Wall-E I agree but will be gone soon. American History X? Hmm odd choice I mean I love that movie, even if The Hulk fucked with the editing of it to make him look good. Memento, I mean have that many people seen that movie, or is this a list made up by white geeky college students? The most bizzare is Leon? I mean awesome movie and all, and in fact I heard some geek at the comic show talk about how Namor looked like Leon in a recent comic. The last weird one is City Of God. I bet the directors of those movies are like???? WHERE THE FUCK WHERE YOU VOTERS WHEN OUR SHIT WAS IN THEATERS?

He can't post from work right now, so he is MIA during the day.

Am I the only one that thought that the Spy Kids mom (her name is too hard to spell) did a perfect job? I mean even my lady friend agreed that she did a good job and her makeup was fine. I don't understand all the back lash. In the comic she was some washed up old flewsy and the movie she is the same. I thought that Carla GSpy Kids mom (come on it is hard to spell right) did a good job. I think the casting was solid all around save for ex-nazi Ozymandis. It just plays into American fears that all evil people have some sort of European background to them. Though I dug the shit out of the Duran Duran Muzac, because they are still relevant like a mother fucker. Seriously don't believe me check out there last cd it's better then 99.87 percent of the pop you hear today.
-
I thought that mofo didn't sleep?
-
on SS1 was so bad that it took me right out of the movie. As the young SS1 she did a good job.
-
Finally like 5 hours later Terminator show ends and I can watch Dollhouse. And they are fucking using the same pull quotes as last week. "This is the show that you won't forget!" Why I applaud fox for actually giving a show a chance and showing that they want it to work, rather then fucking it in the Ass like they do with everything else. Trying the same shit twice. This episode has Patton Oswald though, which is something they should've said. FUCK ME take a note from the Disney hand book of marketing and fucking say something like "This week the star of Ratatouille makes a guest appearance in the most unforgettable show on prime time" Some on Fox? You can't pay me $10 and hour to figure that shit out? I bet people at Fox are like, "Who the fuck is Patton Ozworld?"
-
That Spy Kids mom, jubbly bits where a good inch of two lower in the older days then they were when she was still causing the problem with the way she dressed? I mean come on, THATS attention to detail.
-
Who knew? I thought they stopped making music like in 89. They sucked in they sucked in the 80's so I can't imagine they are any better now.
-
Came out in 2007, Red Carpet Massacre. Its really good. Also I think that JT has a cameo. Give it a listen loo over at Jungle site.
-
Tears For Fears cd from 2004 and see who still has the ability to make a great hit song.
-
The Haunting of Connecticut isn't out on DVD yet? I feel like I've been seeing shit so long for this damn thing that it came and went in the theaters and now its on DVD. That shit hasn't in touched screens yet. It looks really bad.
-
Patton Oswald has a sob story on Dollhouse. Boo hoo, yeah I still can't believe that he was in a kids movie.
-
A joke I mean casting the guy who does the Obama impersonation on Little Britain American was silly. Especially since he is mister serious I couldn't really get into it. but this weeks and last weeks episode have had it a show that's actually worth watching. Lets hop Mr. Buffy keeps it up.
-
Looks meh. Is that the guy from The Host? Honk if you know.
-
Obama guy with the smack down! HEYO!!!!!!!!!! The girl from Rushmore as the evil bitch is the shit. Too bad Anthony Head thought that he'd be better off with that crap Repo rather then getting the Obama guys role.
-
Gayer then making babies with the lead singer of Coldplay. The wanted video game contines the whole "Save one, save other people" theme that the movie fucked down our throats. See people have been all poo pooed that the ending of Watchmen takes away from the whole point of Watchmen. See I think both endings of Watchmen are fucking retarded especially in this post 9-11 world we live in. But the Wanted movie butt fucked the whole purpose of the comic, and no one cared. I put Wanted as the worst comic adaptation of all time, souly because it says hey "here is the whole point and purpose of the comic, lets just go ahead and change that and make them good guys and keep the rest". Just soo gay, every actor may as well been drinking a Smirnoff Ice during the whole thing.
-
Ok FOX you win. This was a damn fine episode of television. Granted it wasn't Oscar winning material like Breaking Bad is consistently, but it was good. The twist at the end with thunder tighs very clever. Gives me a reason to keep watching. This show is truly blessed by allah.
-
It's simple-had they listened to you and me, the ending would have involved Giant Robot Lions, CGI 200' Bert Lahr AND, and-John Elway. But could they-? Noooooooooooo hadda revert to a bit of Mikey Bayism and just blow shit up. Unless you are including Giant Robot(Lions) in such a scenario, you're really just fucking the dog, and even the dog don't like it, and prefers the squid. I thought Gugino was fine in the forties but the age make up on her was hideously bad.
-
And From The Good, The Bad, and The Weird, apparently.

He still has cunt residue stuck to his cock from the 80s, that looks like fucking donut glaze. And I didn't leave this site. IT FUCKING LEFT ME. Like Xiphos said my work IP is blocked and that was when I posted 99% of my shit. Thats why I've tried to pop in once in awhile at night and see whats up. I'm usually reading the conversations during the day, pulling the hair out of my dick because I can't chime in. And it takes 4-6 weeks for a site to appear on google search. I already entered it though. It will show up eventually.

I fucking love Duran Duran. They made the best Bond song.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
A View To A Kill -- kick ass track. How do you not like Girls on Film or Come Undone? Perfect music to cruise Miami while receiving road head from a 19 year old Dominican whore.
-
The local arthouse is having a matinee showing of the entire "Che" movie starring Del Toro. It's over 4 hours long, with an intermission, and it only costs 7 dollars. Shall I go?
-
Nothing very positive. I'm wondering if it will even be worth the four hours. Guess I will just have to find out when I go. I'll definitely come back here and let you guys know what I think. I'm a pretty big Del Toro fan, so I'm hoping it won't be too disappointing.
-
I'd wait for dvd so I can fast forward shit. Check out Paul Blart why you still can.
-
Though I didn't really like View to a Kill. I like To Live and Die in L.A by Wang Chung better. But Girls on Film, Hungry Like the Wolf, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Notorious, Come Undone and so forth amazing. Have you heard the new stuff Danny?
-
Shall I see that instead?
-
Damn, I can't make up my mind. There are three movies I have heard pretty good things about, all of which I wanna see pretty badly.
-
But all the ones are two sided, and there are now three movies I definitely wanna see in the theaters.
-
Knowing and Taken should be fairly easy to find on DVD in a few months, if not the dollar theatre. Che is one of those weird films that hasn't been doing well, isn't getting much publicity, and has a very limited release. Unlike the other two, I have no clue when I would have the chance to see something like it again.
-
It's classic, with some great moments."Yeah, I'm gonna eat your lunch you long-haired faggot!"
-
Vern's review of Knock Off is up. ht tp://www.geo cities.com/outla wvern/
-
Working on video review. It's... interesting.
-
People still use that?
-
I thought it was just your typical rah-rah Hollywood mangling of military stuff, obviously shot in Hawaii(Cameroon yeah right) and all--pretty cliched but whatever. Besides the sadly noticeable lack of Robots or Lions of a large nature there-what was it you didn't care for? I thought it was so so bear in mind-
-
Don't be giving Danny any shit about his website. They're brand new. If I had a website, I wouldn't sit on AICN all day either.
Talkbackers building websites = Respect. -
It involved the Navy, nuff said.

It's an interesting 4 hour monster of a movie. Distance and realism are the two words that came to mind most. The first half is the more Hollywood-style part of the movie. It does a good job of slowly building on Guevara's success in the realm of Cuba's revolution, whether it's though his experience as a doctor, an educator, or a guerilla fighter. The characters we meet are all quite likable, if not a bit romanticized, and the action is realistic, but still manages to seem quite visceral. There are some losses to the secondary cast by the time the revolution is won, and the director does a good job giving each death a sense of gravitas, if not for the audience, than at least from the perspective that they were Che's companions.Benicio Del Toro does a great job in the title role, playing it subdued, but passionate. It helps establish the more realistic tone of the film very early on, and makes for some subtle moments of character that wind up being very fulfilling in the end. The supporting cast is nearly as good, particularly ones like "Small Cowboy" and the super bearded guy that provides the sole laughs of the movie. I wish I could remember his name, but he was sadly missed in the second half of the film, which takes places in Bolivia.If the first two hours of the movie is a chronicle of Che's slow rise to the hero he has become in the eys of the revolutionaries, the second half is the slow descent, where the audience is forced to question the necessity of Che's philosophies, and to also address his role in a wider national role, particularly the presence of the American military forces. The scenes in Bolivia contain a lot less action, and it becomes almost agonizing watching these soldiers slowly lose their will to continue the resistance. It might not make for the best cinema, but it's probably a more honest portrayal of actual events. Audiences were no doubt split over what was more needed for the film, either an extension of the actual story of Ernesto Guevara, or a more Hollywood-esque treatment of the material. I actually prefer the former for Che, but can see the latter argument. Personally, I am sick of the practice today's society (particularly my own college-age community) gravitating towards these icons we actually know little about. Go into any dorm room on campus, and two thirds of them will have some kind of poster up of guys like Bob Marley, Hunter S. Thompson, Jimi Hendrix, and Che Guevara. These people that actually had passions and stood for entire revolutions, whether it was in art, literature, or politics, have become little more for images for crafty businesspeople to make money off of. It seems as time goes on, the younger generations have distanced themselves from the truth about the icons around them, and are content to simply accept them as figureheads of the youth movements, when some of them are anything but. Sorry to rant, but it's something I have noticed even more lately as a result of taling to younger college kids, and it's something I feel is just another little thing that's just going to result in a slightly dumber society later on. I'm grateful to the movie for offering even a glimpse of what could have possibly have been the reality of the icons. I wouldn't recommend seeing the movie, and thinking that's all you need to know. The film acts more in the style of a journalistic documentary style, but that doesn't made it shouldn't be taken as the sole relevant work concerning the story of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. It is merely a quiet, sometimes slow chronicle on a specific point in a particularly admirable man's life. I give it a 7.5 out of 10. If you're already a fan of Che's or are a fan of movies featuring realistic guerilla warfare, add 1. If you're more a fan of the Commando-type movie and are looking for something with a little more meat on the bones, take 1 away.
-
that my AICN account is so jacked up!
Hey guys! It's been awhile! What's up? -
"isn't" so jacked up..
-
those AVP spots from last week with the preds and aliens playing games with one another. I have to give Series 7 credit there, because months ago on Z-spot he posted a similar funny idea with Preds having games and walking dogs in the park, etc. Granted, it didnt have the Alien element, but I wanted to give him kudos there for having a similarly great idea!
-
theres some interesting foreign stuff out there right now.
I've grabbed Sauna, Inhabited Island and The Square recently. Haven't yet had a chance to watch them. Also watched Red Cliff 2. Nice epic end to a great two-part film. I'm looking forward to having a go at the whole thing in one sitting. Great stuff!
Saw Dear Zachary recently. Just devestating. A great film though. -
Wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with Che and Johnny Deep, come on he's awesome!
-
You seen Che yet?
-
Did not actually have Depp and Del Toro in it, but yeah he's still pretty cool.
-
That has something to do with Clone Wars? I missed the episode last night bc I missed the whole Ryloth Saga.
-
I was actually fine the next day. We stayed up 'till 5 AM playing Guitar Hero and watching The Dark Knight, and I slept 'till noon, so I think I effectively slept through the hangover. Or I was still drunk when I got up, didn't realize it, and thought the hangover was just a pesky headache later in the day. I don't seem to recall that day very well...
-
I saw Che. I could admire alot of what Soderbergh did(and yes, I saw the roadshow cut) but honestly it was rather grueling to sit through. It was one of those films where the art didn't wash over you, but you had to keep reminding yourself, "hey, this is art." Usually when I'm doing that, it's because the movie has become pretentious. I wouldn't give it a full blown thumbs or a thumbs down. It's interesting. Just not 4 hours interesting.
Kung, if you havent, see Dear Zachary as soon as possible. -
Never heard of it. What's it about?I just put on Lost Highway. I know nothing about it except that it's directed by David Lynch...so I guess we'll just see.
-
is a docu about a guy named Andy Bagby who was killed by his spurned girlfriend in PA. One of his best friends, a filmmaker who used Andy in all his videos he made as a kid, sets out to make a remembrance of his friend. Then he learns that the murderess is pregnant with Andy's son, and he begins to tailor the doc to be a sort of recollection of Andy for his son. Don't do any extra digging on the Bagby story. Just watch the movie. It's devestating. You thought Devils was heavy.
-
Had to turn Lost Highway off. The audio was all fucked up. Anytime anything loud happened, it was WAY too loud, but anytime the characters talked, I could hardly even tell what they were saying.
-
You haven't heard of that FU? I guess you don't follow my blog. Its a weird movie, like its so fucked up but I feel weird calling it a MUST SEE but you have to see it. And don't know anything about it going into it.
-
Lost Highway doesn't make anymore sense if you watch it with perfect sound. It's not one of Lynch's better movies. Glad to hear you liked Casshern. While it's certainly not a completely successful movie, I liked it quite a bit too, primarily for the visuals.
I did finally see Synecdoche, NY and I have to see I need to see it a second time. It just didn't quite click for me the same way Adaptation, BJM and Eternal Sunshine did. I think Charlie Kaufman just went off into his own headspace for this and never came back, and there wasnt another director to say "Dude, what?" -
I know that about Hunter S. Thompson I was just mocking every college students response when you mention his name.
-
Mar 22, 2009 12:52:42 AM CDT
series...I give you props and you don't even say hello..
by echo_the_white
you have a blog? whats the address?
-
Damn good movie. Now I'm gonna watch the Danny Glover DickBlood bio movie: Priscilla queen of the desert.
-
Guy Pierce, Hugo Weaving and Terrence Stamp in drag driving around in a bus with a giant shoe on top. Enjoy. Best bit was when they run into aborigines.
-
and LOVED every second of it.
-
While there is a high ratio of morons attending college, I am actually pretty proud to not count myself among them. I totally get what you're saying though. It's like people just hang up Bob Marley posters because they see everybody else doing it, and they figure if they just get a greatest hits CD of his music then the whole thing just makes sense. And here I am with a bunch of torn our magazine art and Renoir Picasso all over my walls and I can't even listen to a whole Bob Marley song.
-
Sorry missed that. Well having watched Priscilla queen of the desert for like the 10th time of my life, my lady friend thinks I'm weird. She saw it for the first time and hated it.
-
I don't have a blog...i mean have Twitch talkback which is just as good.
-
Shit now I remember more about the predetor thing I wrote. That's cool you read that. They don't make cool music videos anymore. That Alien Predetor playing chess is my background right now.
-
And the movie Fear and Loathing. I never liked the movie. The first time I tired to watch it was after a day of scuba diving so I couldn't stay awake, but I didn't have much interest to watch it again. I've tried on a couple of other occasions to watch it and I just didn't really like it. As for Hunter, all I really know about him is from that bio movie that came out a little bit back and while he did some cool things. He just seems like a drugged up asshole. I am going to rent that movie with Bill Murray as him and give that a shot, maybe one day down the line I'll read one of his books, but not any time soon.
-
The Clone Wars contest is online and only for people 7-14....hopefully you don't met that age bracket.
-
Fu remember I mentioned a little bit ago that I wrote a short story about Mario set in the world of Chinatown? Well it got second place.....granted I think I was the oldest person to enter the compeition, HEY NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WAS AN AGE LIMIT! And all I had to go by was a leaflet they gave me at the comic shop. Well anyway I'll see if Mavra will post it on her site or something. Well I'm off to bed.
-
Is in fucking T4! That's so awesome! I fucking love that guy, he is the reason I watch the Everyone Hates Chris show. That'll be awesome if he becomes a big action star, because he can pull off funny very well.
-
Congrats on the second place for the writing competition! I'm off to bed too. I actually spend most of tonight watching TV shows online. How pathetic a Saturday is that? Well, I have a whole week free to do other stuff, so we'll see I guess. Later.
-
Just finished the first season premiere. Meh.
-
nope? must have been me. now i have times are a changin on itunes. legally of course. because you should never listen to hippie, anti 'the man' socialist anthems without paying the massive corporation that owns the license.
-
cause he was a badass who didn't give a shit. i also liked rapheal. that said, a french badass is not very believable, so when i hear him talk, i'll probably spit chunks.
-
if only it was made before jack nicholson got old. that would have been shit hot,
-
the game played in heaven. rugby is life.
-
never liked him till i reflected. i like his movies, i just had a problem with him. so i rethough, and he is quite good. also i get the feeling that behind those doughy looking afleck eyes, there ticks the mind of a movie nerd. case in point: he has obviously seen a little known internationally aussie movie, one of the best of the last decade: chopper. cause he has used his power to seek out and colloberate with it's makers. yanks don't know this movie, but he has promoted it's makers, and given them carears. he seems to have a bit of a pulse on up and comers and invest in them. also i like troy. like any hollywood movie it takes liberities but i think it is very true to the source material. i though it was interesting how much he was ogeled in the movie. there was definate poofter undertones, which was appropriate to the greek attitude to sex. overall a good movie. off the top of my head his worst: devils own. that movie can fuck off for so many reasons.
-
once spent three days fighting with an arrow through his balls.
-
made ireland free.
-
taught obi wan everything he knows.
-
was the inspiration for robin hood (rob roy)
-
did know that like 6 months ago when the crissis start to heat up, there was a massive increase in divorces amoung the mega rich? marrage wise it is the worst hit group. the theory: these trophy wife chicks want to get out while half is still a lot. this one chick claimed emotional distress because her husband could no longer purchase the 100m holiday home she wanted.
-
Also taught Batman everything he knows. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
-
basically like jesus (narnia)
-
has a phd in sex.
-
saved the jews.
-
he taught batman everything he knows.
-
fuck fighting with an arrow through your balls. plus, medievil battles didn't go past nightfall (except very rarly) except maybe sieges. not that i'm saying this didn't happen, it just makes mister neeson more hardcore.
-
see it. hillarius. (made by the daybreak dudes) btw day break: filmed where i live.
-
you cunts worry about the snakes. you should worry about the kolas. that why they give us live rounds when we harbour up in bush.
-
are you fucking serious? that sounds like some fucking awesome shit right there. centurion sounds awesome, as long as they don't hollywood it. it needs to be a soliders movie. a theme i like with that kind of movie is that a centurion would be a shit load older than his diggs. even though we know that these guys in the movie will end up covered in gorly, for them, they on the centurion in awe, cause he fought in the last great war, that they grew up on stories of. plus also: the picts, only fucker to stop the romans. they made a wall, then a graham busted a hole in it, so they made two walls. then some of those gramhams came to oz, then they fucked up the krauts at el aleim. simulationusly they fucked the jap at kokoda.
-
over rated. i wouldn't say you could see the twist coming, but i would say you would have to be a retard to fall for it. 'oh those guys arn't trustworthy, give me your secret file, i'll look after it'
-
dumb and dumber. definatly
-
so they match the rest of the apliances. a chick told me that when i said i was engaged. she was married a week earlier.
-
what is better than 3 paraolympic gold medals?walking.
-
i liked it
-
but i watched a dodgy ripped off version. interesting thing about it: they shoot the smoke for the chopper, and the chopper confirms with them the colour of their smoke. i don't know of any other movie that gets this point right.
-
tears of the sun bored me out of my brain, but still, can't think of another movie that gets that right.
-
... for the first time last night.
Belatedly, agreeing enthusiastically with your post at Mar 19th_ 05:13:11 AM.
The unstated final premise - Oskar is now about 40 and has become Haken. -
-and is STILL a grouch and STILL in the trashcan
-
Boy that movie will make it easy for you to hate people. It did for me.
-
I find a fun game is to see how many Twitch-ians I can name-drop.
-
Jonah has arisen from the MIA file as well.
-
Didn't care for.
-
Haven't gotten around to watching it. Checking out this new Cartoon Network show League of Super Evil. Need a good kids cartoon since viva pinata is done. Its ok, not as good as Viva but better then most kids crap.
-
Life on Mars. Too bad it's getting cancelled after this season. I will have to check out the original British series. Anyone know if it's any good?
-
Got calling smoke correct.
-
http://tinyurl.com/cszb6r
-
Still, even with the eventual unspoken outcome, Oskar's life was pretty sucky (ha ha), so he won't be worse off than he was before.
-
How's it going?
-
Drinking some whisky mixers. You?
-
It's similiar to ice cream. Very refreshing.
-
Nice.
-
The 1984 Ken Wahl movie Purple Hearts got calling smoke correct also.
-
I concur with you on Chuck.
-
You're the best. Thanks for putting links up to my insanity.
-
You and Xiphos are the backbone of that site. You are both cooler than frozen lemonade. :)
-
But I don't have a clue how to do the site update stuff. So I bow to you on that.
-
You are gaining a fan club for your audio stylings. I made a separate blog entry for The Watchmen, but put the review on the same page as Lost 509 (since there was plenty of space), so the comments for Watchmen are on that page as well. Got to say, people are making some, ahem, unusual requests. Good luck with those.
-
really dig that show as well. 2 episodes left. Though at the same time, they kept it nice and short like a British series. Even though the new cop drama coming out called the Unusuals, looks very similar especially in look.
-
Have you watched Burn Notice yet?
-
I just realized I had the first season at home. Thought I might give it a shot.
-
Give it a go. Breaking Bad is alright.
-
The Rugby was awesome. ENgland thrashed Scotland, France thrashed Italy and Ireland beat Wales. Plummeting the sheep shaggers to 4th in the table. Therefore only watched 2 movies- My Name is Bruce and A Knight's Tale (when I was recuperating). Bruce was good and funny, ruined by the ending and A Knights tale is a festering carbuncle.
-
Xiphos - No. But I've no doubt it'll rock. Jarv - I was in Cardiff during the Ireland vs. Wales game. I haven't watched the news, but the number of alcoholic Welsh people suggests they may very well have rioted.
-
The lost, and have been worse than England this year.
-
And Turdmen is not to be mentioned on a Twitch thread
-
We discussed it during non Jarv time. Namely the weekend.
-
Wonder where droid is? And Frank.
-
his AICN time. That's sad.
-
Hope they pop in soon - we must establish dominance over these poser TBs.
-
that is not acceptable.
-
Busy this morning, what with all the work that's piled up over the past two weeks (thanks, colleagues!).Also, I came back to find out a bunch of us will likely be getting made redundant, which has bummed me out somewhat.How is everyone here? Doing better than me, I hope.
-
I'll ramble about some of them at some point, maybe concoct a list or somesuch.
-
My fucking god. I fucking hate it. It just took me nearly two and a half hours including an overland, three tubes and two DLRs to get to fucking work. The Olympics are going to be so fucked. Anyway, in between drunkenings on the weekend I watched… What Just Happened? – Shit. Nothing more can be said about it. Bolt – Pretty fun little movie. Loved the pigeons and the hamster. Bedtime Stories – Adam Sandler on family mode. While never boring, it’s instantly forgettable. Say Anything – “I gave her my heart, and she gave me a pen.” I fucking love this flick. Morning, chaps.
-
Olive Oil actually served a point.
-
Hope things pick up and they reverse tact.
-
Doing some editing. Uploaded a video review for 'the film Jarv has barred us from mentioning.'

Sorry to hear about the reduncy hammer, Frankie
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I luckily survived that particular hammer less than two months ago. It sucks.
-
I know this is verboten, but I wanted to throw in my two penneth.I didn't really like it, but didn't hate it as much as I thought I might. It pretty much just passed me by, like a boring sandwich you make when there's only one slice of ham left in the fridge and you've run out of mustard.I suppose if you're the kind of person who thinks it's interesting to ponder whether a superhero can get it up without his costume, Watchmen is right up your alley. I just thought it was infantile.
-
am being thrashed by Frank. Mind you, it's still March for 8 days so should get up to about 120, ish.
-
Interesting points.
-
You bastards are nuts. Frankie, was Lebowski your 100th? And did you do it wearing a bathrobe and slugging down white russians?
-
...what with the two weeks loafing, but I didn't watch quite as many films as I thought I would.Especially during the second week, when the weather got pretty nice and a friend of mine also had the week off, so much, much time was spent in various local beer gardens. It was nice.

Sounds like a week well spent.

I got to look out the fucking window all week at the weather. Bastard.
-
I did a double bill of two of my favourites for 99 and 100 - Office Space followed by The Big Lebowski. That is probably my favourite film-watching experience of the year thus far.Although, a word of warning about White Russians. Those bastards are CRAFTY bastards. You can suck them down like milkshakes and hardly feel anything at all, then - BAM! - you're shitfaced.It didn't help that I started drinking during Office Space, so I was already pretty loaded (although I didn't realise it at the time) by the time Lebowski started. Then, somewhere around the bit where Walter tumbles out of the Dude's car with his Uzi, the drunkenness fell on me like a phalanx of fat children under the impression my skull was full of sweets.I had a pig of a hangover the next day.

Nice one, Frank. I spent last night drinking Scotch Whisky mixers and playing SNES games online. That was awesome.

Motoko being questioned as an accomplice.

Motoko swearing Avatar's innocence. Cops treating him as hostile.
-
The collective fanboy splooge is horrifying.
-
Motoko tried to free Avatar - was pepper sprayed. Avatar had to be restrained with a vicious beating.
-
Avatar kept screaming 'IT'S NOT RAPE IF THEY WANT IT.' Police dismiss this as cruel punchline to bad joke.

... so much as sad that some toss-pot invented 'eye-rape' as a means of a film being awesome. Whoever did that is a fucking prick.

Isn't it fucking your eyeballs?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Not raping your eyeballs? I'm still not over getting my eyeballs raped by Speed Racer. Not sure they could handle another raping. Yes, that phrase is annoying, and is officially banished from the house of Twitch along with 'that which cannot be named'.
-
I'm not readily sure - I think it may have started with fucking, but I'm positive some-one used the more derogative term.

for being monotonous and unfunny.

I can't say I'm surprise, I watched Horne and Corden's sketch show thing and I've seen more amusing documentaries on smoking related cancer. Epic Fail

Not in the mood at all.Worst. Return to work. Ever!Manager's not in, so I am apparently not allowed to know about this redundancy business officially until tomorrow. Cunts. Nothing like a bit of financial worrying (and getting dicked about by your employer) to put you in the mood for a solid afternoon of slacking.I'd really like to break something about now.
-
Not bad, not bad at all. The first one's great, the second is goofy but entertaining, only the third is shit, and the fourth is also pretty entertaining.Watching Stallone (in a featurette) talk about the mercenaries in part 4 makes you see where the idea for Expendables came from. I'm looking forward to that one a lot.
-
Made me realise that pretty much all the affection I have for that series comes from The Road Warrior, which is a fucking great film. The first one is surprisingly boring (and it takes ages to get to the good stuff, which is just the last fifteen minutes of the film), and the third one has Tina Turner in it with her gross old lady boobs hanging about all over the place. Ick.
-
Saw Zack & Miri Make A Porno, which made me realise why so many people hate Kevin Smith. I've hung in as a fan of his over the years, but that film is fucking awful, and it's the only film I've seen this year that is MORE infantile than Watchmen. Quite an acheivement.Other bad comedies I watched:Evan Almighty - I knew it would be shit, but my craving for a fix of Lauren Graham got the better of me.I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry - I also knew it would be shit, but my craving for a fix of Jessica Biel in her undies got the better of me.
-
I thought that bore repeating.

"pretty much all the affection I have for that series comes from
by lost jarv
Fucking true that
-
Both of which were shit.What they were thinking with that second one is beyond me."Here's an idea, let's bring back The X-Files! And we'll do it like it's an extended mediocre episode. And It'll be about a peadophile priest! And we'll make it dreary as hell! And Mulder and Scully will be having contrived relationship issues! IT'S A GUARANTEED HIT!!"
-
I loved Clerks and Chasing Amy. Quite liked Jay and Silent Bob and Mallrats. Despised Jersey Girl with a vengeance, haven't seen Clerks 2 in a belief that it's guaranteed to be shit and refuse to watch that Porno shit.
-
it stopped being interesting fucking ages ago, and nothing can persuade me to revisit it's violated corpse.
-
Clerks and Chasing Amy are genius. Mallrats and J&SBSB have some very funny moments. Jersey Girl was shit. Clerks 2 was ok. A couple of good laughs. Z&MMAP was okay. It was an amusing diversion. I wasn't expecting a flick by that name to be anything but juvenile and I don't know how you could expect anything less. Sounds like Frankies ecstatic to be back at work.
-
Rambo 4 is OK- loads of people love it, but I thought it was good but not earth shattering
-
I more or less like everything he's done except Jersey Girl, which I didn't hate so much as immediately forget.But Zack & Miri is terrible. Not funny at all, and it's yet another one of those films where I can't care about what's happening because I just hate all the characters. It was Waitress all over again, but ith more juvenile dick jokes.And where is this world Kevin Smith portrays where everyone wanders about casually talking about cock sucking ALL THE DAMN TIME?Horrible film. I could have forgiven it if it were funny (I could forgive Hitler if he was funny), but it wasn't.
-
Mar 23, 2009 7:57:30 AM CDT
Expect anything ELSE (not less)
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I like the X Files, but I agree that the latest flick just wasn't very good. Not only the paedo priest, but Mulder making paedo jokes did not sit very well. I thought the first flick was great, especially the way it tied into the series.
-
I saw Blade Runner: The Final Cut, which was the best film I saw on my two weeks off. I really like that one, and the Final Cut DVD has a drop dead beautiful version of the film. Just gorgeous to look at, plus I think I much prefer existential misfit robots to blurry transforming clusterfuck robots.Hats off to Ridley Scott.
-
Mar 23, 2009 8:02:27 AM CDT
Rambo 3 is hilarious... so I like it
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Rambo 4 was just much too excessively violent and mean spirited my for tastes. I know loads of people love it, but I would've sat there bored if it wasn't so horrified and disgusted by the aforementioned unrelenting mean spirited gore.
-
but it just bored me. Which is strange. I think I just don't go a bundle for Rambo
-
When it was good, it was really good; but when it was bad it was the most boring hour you could spend in front of the telly.I remembered the first film being good, but it doesn't hold up on its own. Maybe it's better if you watch it conjunction with the series.
-
All 4 Futurama films, which were funny.Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, which was good (nice boobs, Marisa!).Gone Baby Gone - good (nice directing, Ben Affleck!).The Count Of Monte Cristo - very enjoyable.A Man Apart - meh.Bubba Ho-Tep - better the second time around.The Departed - I still like it. Not sure what all the complaints some of you folks have are about. As a side note, I have all 3 Infernal Affairs on the DVR, so I'll be watching those at some point to compare and whatnot. Does Marky Mark wear booties in those?
-
I much prefered the ongoing conspiracy storyline to the standalone episodes. I also haven't seen the first movie since when I was watching the show, which might be why I liked it so much.
-
Not sure why it gets the vitriol it does here, but then again, I haven't seen Infernal Affairs.
-
Debuting some 36 year old bloke named McGain who gets tonked around for 0-149 off 18 overs is why we won't be using a spinner in The Ashes.
-
Jesus, that show was great. I don't think there's a single episode that doesn't give me more laughs than your average comedy film.And those episodes are very more-ish, too. I would usually put one on to watch during breakfast, and then end up watching 3 or 4 in one go.Frank Costanza: COMEDY GENIUS! Nobody is funnier when angered than Frank Costanza.
-
fuck that. Infernal Affairs is better on every level, and the end of IA simply monsters the departed.
-
Lords is flatter than Lohan.
-
despite Johnson's heroics with the bat
-
Which is why McGain got his one and only gig for Australia. That poor bloke'll life in infamy.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
No excuse for that performance.
-
Christ, what a thrashing. That was an "Englandesque" bowling performance. McGain= FAIL (like every other Aussie spinner nowadays). Where are the tests? Lords and Cardiff, but I don't know the other 2. At the moment, I think Lords will be drawn (needs relaying, badly) and I know fuck all about Cardiff, but can see it raining so that will be drawn as well. That makes the other ones very interesting.
-
I'm really struggling to give a shit about Jade Goody croaking. And I'm astounded by the amount of media time her death is getting.
-
I saw Infernal Affairs a few years ago and, to be honest, I don't remember too much about it.I haven't seen either of the sequels, though. Any good?This post is not about cricket.
-
By far Smith's worst film. This is what happens when you tell Seth Rogen to give you more.
-
When you think about it (assuming you're as down on certain sections of the younger English population as I am), it's pretty appropriate.She's the retarded Lady Di for the retarded generation.
-
That is why I took a vow of silence when it came to that woman. Alive or dead, she brings out the worst in me.Damn my inability to adhere to my vows!
-
It works if you see it as a goofy cop film with some insane overacting from Nicholson and Marky Mark. But as a serious film, fucking Hell is it cheesy.
-
I think it sucks that she left behind kids who'll go through most of their life without a Mother... but really, that shit happens multiple times a day and is never reported. It always sucks, but people need some perspective.
-
hows it going?
-
and it's a bit pointless really. It's OK, but I wouldn't come in my pants with excitement about it
-
Pretty good. I video reviewed 'that movie which cannot be named' for MyMavra... and am preparing myself to watch The Crow for the first time.
-
how goes it?
-
shits all over that which shall not be named. Mind you- less-than fantastic four shits all over that which shall not be named. The Voldemort of comic book movies.
-
I'll check it out when I get a chance. I'm in the process of getting some reviews together myself, now that I've got the time. Watching The Burrowers(not to be confused with the Borrowers) currently. It's surprisingly good thus far. It's got three Lost baddies in it-Clancy Brown, Will Mapother and Doug Hutchinson. It's great to see these guys shine in larger roles and all together.
-
I name-checked you in my review of 'that which must not be named.'
-
That's a great cast of bad-asses. I'm hoping Lost eventually gives all three of them more to do than 'stand around, look menacing/nerdy and then exit.'
-
I havent taken inventory recently. Will have to add stuff this weekend to the IMDB list and see.
You see Dear Zachary yet? -
Don't get it, don't get the love for it. Think it kind of sucks, actually, but loads of people that I normally agree with keep telling me I'm wrong. Dexter is sucking again, by the way Frank, but keeps luring me in with boobies.
-
but I've got a lot of time off from early April so will get some more watched. Now that the 6N is over I'll watch more on the weekend. I've got The Cars That Ate Paris, The Fall of The house of Usher and something else that I've forgotten waiting to be spun
-
more of a western than a horror, at least so far, and amazingly it's a pretty good one. It's got a feel of The Searchers to it, with no sparing of the realities of the time-i.e. the heroes of the story assume indians are responsible and are brutal in their mission to reclaim their families.
-
sad really.
-
so add me to that list. Sorry.
-
I got myself all ready to check out Mr Z's Watchmen (I'll name it if I want!) review, but it's a video review and we can't watch videos at work.Disappointing, that is.I assume you liked it, Mr Z?
-
I don't think you're wrong - I watch it weekly, but I do think it's more about finishing the journey at this stage. When you're 75% through, it seems silly to stop watching.
-
In short, yeah... as a B-Movie. I don't think it's particularly mind blowingly brilliant, and at points it has some truly childish moments... but between the entertaining moments and the fucking pathetic Nixon make-up, I had a blast.
-
most series, but when it's considered as a whole, it's telling a rather cohesive and complex story. I suppose this next year might prove me wrong, but I will agree that individual eps aren't as compelling as some other shows.
-
A lot of the individual Lost eps can suck ass, but dreck like 507 is needed for the bigger picture. So you just hook up your arm to an IV drip full of Scotch Whisky, and start drooling.
-
the longer I get away from it, the worse it gets in my mind. I've gone from thinking it was pretty shit, to thinking it was abominably awful.
-
Christ I was up late last night. Drove down to Charlotte to catch a Gomez show. All hail England for giving us one of the best bands on the planet.Nice to have Franklin and Mr. Echo back.I watched one of the Futurama movies over the weekend and have come to the conclusion that the show is seven different kinds of genius. I also watched Changeling which I liked. Jolie was better than the commercials portrayed her to be.Kevin Smith may be the most dodgy filmmaker today. His last three films have been insufferable. At first I thought Zach and Miri was OK but then I realized Elizabeth Banks was working her wiley charms on me and the actual movie was dull. And Clerks 2 is one of the worst movies ever made. Smith isn't the genius he thinks he is. His script for Superman Lives that he went all Darabont-ish on the studio for not using it was a steaming turd. It actually elevates Stalkerman Returns.Infernal Affairs 2 is pointless crap.
-
He was good, and it was sort of funny that he was a ratty little serial killer-looking bloke under that goofy mask. And I liked the Dr Manhattan flashback.I've already forgotten most of the rest, though, and I can't imagine myself ever watching it again.
-
christ, are they still going? Thought they'd disbanded yonks ago.
-
I wasn't a fan of them including that Manhattan flashback. It's a nice sequence, but I don't know what it's doing in a theatrical edition. It slows things down too much.
-
QUARANTINE SUCKED ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
HOD, go find The Burrowers. So far it's a great little western/monster flick with Clancy Brown as a bounty hunting bada** helping a small tracking party to find their missing relatives, whose small outpost was abandoned with some left for dead. It's of Outlander quality as far as genre mash-ups go. Am I the only one surprised that the little budget, almost straight to video films like Outlander and Burrowers turn out to be more satisfying than certain multi-million dollar anticipated films?
-
seeing as I feel like I've already seen it twice because I've read the damned thing as well. Adaptation =/= translation, snyder you fucking hack.
-
This is a feeling you'd get mostly when you were a kid. That feeling of being up somewhere high - like a tree, maybe, somewhere high enough that a fall would really mess you up - and you almost fall but catch yourself at the last split-second? That adrenaline mixture of utter terror and pure relief?That is how I felt when I just read that 50 'Fiddy' Cent was almost in The Expendables.
-
Watchmen would have been far better if they'd made a full adaptation. It's not like Moore would like it anyway, or give it his blessing, so why not say 'fuck it - let's take the central theme, and the characters, and make a film.'
-
has leapt up my need to watch list.
-
Eh, they could've done worse and better there.
-
I bumped into a guy at the show last night who knows our very own D.Vader. We got to talking about film which then turned to film production and the next thing I know we're talking about Vader and his stint on the octuplet reality show and his zombie short submission.I should've called in sick today. I can barely keep my eyes open.
-
Thank fuck he wasn't in The Expendables. Someone needs to stomp Tarantino for the fucking mess that is IB
-
Holy shit - what a small fucking world.
-
Hence the relief. But they could have cast Bill Cosby and he'd be better than 50 fucking Cent.Fuck 50 Cent. I don't like that guy and I really don't like what he stands for - him and his entire generation of vacuous idiots turning themselves into 'brands' so they can make colossal piles of money shovelling more useless shit into the world.That was a lucky escape, I reckon.
-
One of England's greatest contributions to the world and you fail to know of their continued existence.The Burrowers is like Tremors set in the 1800s, right? I'm putting that at the top of my must see list.I also have a copy of Inhabited Island at home. Watched the opening. Those Russkies have some surprising production values.And I'm just as happy as you are Frank to see that Fiddy isn't going to be in the movie after all.
-
I also watched the intro to Inhabited Island but havent seen anymore of it yet. I was getting a Flash Gordon/Fifth Element vibe from it, dontcha think?
-
creatures seem to come from under the ground, it doesn't feel like Tremors. Totally different tone, and I'm not getting a feel they are going to be giant worms. Honestly, remember that feel to the scenes in The Village(prior to the big letdown they weren't real) where people cower under floorboards and heard ominous clicking and these things come creeping up on you. It's like that thus far.
-
and I discovered Starsailor have a new album out as well. Although they were poo and still are poo.
-
In the REAL world? What the Hell?! How'd that happen?
-
You can keep your Killzones and Res Evils - they don't make games as fucking awesome as SOR anymore, in my opinion.
-
Chris' dad on Everybody Hates Chris? That's actually a pretty cool choice if it's the same guy. I think he fits in well with the rest chosen. For the movie in question, he's def a better fit than Fiddy(uggh) and Forrest(not that he's not great, but look at the surrounding faces).
-
The interior of the ship looked like it was cobbled together with left overs from Ice Pirates and Spaceballs but the exterior shots were very nice. I don't know who did the subtitles but they're going to guarantee I watch it 100% sober.Starsailor are crap. I've always wondered how big my favorite UK bands are at home. If your charts are anything to go by they aren't big at all. Lady GaGa, Lilly Allen and Take That? Christ, I thought Americans had a monopoly on minging music but you Brits, cripes man that's some right foul crap.
-
Always playing the comical, big, buff, black guy. He's got great comic timing. See: White Chicks, Balls of Fury, Malibu's Most Wanted (my favorite line, when he and the gang are hiding behind a car as they're being shot at, unable to return fire, and the gang leader demands why they aren't doing more, he says in such a frightened voice "We CAN'T! They're too strapped!"
-
That's cool. Which brings me to a new topic. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Anyone here ever watch the show? I never caught more than a partial ep back when it aired, but recently a friend insisted I watch it, and loaned me the entire series. And when my wife and I started it, I figured we wouldn't make it past the first season, but surprisingly, it's actually quite good. At least most of it is. We are well into season 4 right now, and same friend has loaned us Angel as well, and we are currently part way through the first season if that too. Angel looks to be the better show.
-
Unfortunately since I only know you by your moniker here and couldn't pick you out of a lineup of one, I couldn't verify your name or physical description, but we were both almost certain that we were talking about the same guy. If you know a J. King then it's a done deal.
-
FX showed back to back episodes in order every day, and I was unemployed, so I ended up watching the entire series. I tried watching when Season 1 first started (I was in high school) and couldn't get into it. Then, a group of girls that included one I had a huge crush on, were big fans and were down at the beach with family the same time I was. I ended up watching "new" episodes with them, the ones that included Eliza Dushku as Faith betraying and hunting down the group. It ended up being a fairly great series. Lots of good humor.
-
President Comacho in Idiocracy! Now I'm excited.

started well, but carried on too long. The Willow as baddie series was all sorts of meh. I would like to do foul and evil things that are probably illegal even in Holland to Faith.

According to this link: http://tinyurl.com/d6z6vg So massive in its explanations and reasoning that it comes in THREE PARTS.

the season I just finished and it was surprisingly well written, clever and mature while still giving some great campy b-movie moments. When the entire graduation class pulls out flame throwers and axes at their ceremony and fight a 100 ft demon snake I knew I was watching something classic.

I sat at the table with him and his brother and we talked throughout the night. Great guy.Damn it's a small world.He mentioned you had a kickass beard.

Is this true? Is the finest, most beautifully sculpted ass on television taking part in what will surely be one of the films of whatever year The Expendable comes out?Seriously, can the news get any better on The Expendables?I am possibly setting myself up for huge disappointment here...
-
Ya know, pretty much everyone is funny in this movie. I especially like Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs as the ivy-league educated "white" black guys trying to act like hardcore black guys. Hi-larious. Terry Crews' line around the 3 minute mark. http://tinyurl.com/ckarun
-
it starts to getting a bit awkward. The high school set-up was just too perfect. You had some clever eps about usual high school stuff and you had great supernatural eps as well. The meeting in the library and shirking tests to save a world that would never know what you did was really what made it so endearing.
Now, in college, it's like the writers want to show them all at awkward "finding themselves" stages and it's starting to feel like Dawson's Creek via the X-Files. James Marsters as Spike is completely carrying the 4th season on his shoulders thus far. -
Terrible. I've tried to get professional help, but to no avail.
-
I even sat through that festering shitbucket that is Tru Calling because of her. She at least owes me something in return.
-
I wish it could be redone with better effects today, but such is life. It still holds up. And I don't want to ruin anything for Jonah, so I won't specifically respond to Jarv's comments about future events, except to say there are some moments of evilness that occur that certainly elevate the show way above his criticism of "meh".

I should've told you I was going to be in Charlotte, Vader
by hawaiian organ donor
In town on Friday and Sunday night and you could've come out to the shows. Thoughtless on my part.
-
is the weakest of the bunch, and even this season isn't awful. There are some terrible eps like the one where native american vengeance spirits come to kill everyone on thanksgiving or where the frat guys drink beer that turns them into neanderthals, but then there are great eps like the one with the "Gentlemen" creatures who take your voice so you can't scream while they are stealing your heart.
-
Angel kicks the shit out of Buffy. But Buffy is pretty good, sometimes amazing.
-
But, all in all, Buffy was pretty consistently entertaining throughout.Five years seems to be the limit for television shows. After that, they tend to run out of ideas. Two of my favourites of recent years - Six Feet Under and The Wire - both had the good sense to get out while still on top.
-
Charisma Carpenter got them out in Playboy? Why does no-one tell me of important things like that?
-
Worth a look. She's got chocky biccies, but you have to take your hat off to her for getting into such great shape after squirting out a baby.Also, you have to take your hat off to her ass. It is magical.
-
the creative team over two shows was bound to affect one of them, and it's the longer running Buffy that seems to have taken a backseat so they could start Angel properly. And Angel started great. It's a different tone of show completely, but still retaining the clever humor and wierdo creatures. It's more of a detective/superhero show. If they had ever made a proper Batman tv show it would prob look something like Angel.
-
but Season 6 onwards just wasn't as good. The villains got a bit stupid as well. I've been a bit harsh on the lesbo willow villain, as that was one of the better ideas. It was never unertaining, and even when doing something completely left-field like that musical one, was still not the worst way to spend an hour.
-
We haven't worked together in awhile, but end up seeing each other at bars or at some demonstration of the RED ONE camera. We first met on some commercial a few years back. I did have a pretty kickass beard for awhile, though that may have been before I met him. He was probably referring to my mustache/goatee combo. Back in the summer of 2007, I started growing out a stache and little goatee in preparation for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", since my hair was Johnny Depp length. I shaved it the day the movie came out, for my gf, but then decided to continue growing it out for Halloween. So, by the time October rolled around, I had a nice stace/goatee combo going. Only I NEVER shaved it after that. I continued to grow out the stache, but shaved underneath it around my mouth, effectively growing out a fu-manchu. And that manchu continued to grow for another year and a half. I never shaved it until last Halloween night when I went as another Johnny Depp character, Sweeney Todd. But everyone's so used to seeing me with the manchu, that even though I've seen people in the intervening time since I shaved in October, pple are still surprised to see me clean-shaven. Honestly, I do miss the 'stache. I don't miss how difficult it made eating buffalo wings or the liquor it sopped up when doing shots, but I will admit, it was pretty kickass.
-
Streets of Rage II and III feature Skate - a teenager who uses roller skates for devestating kick combos. Genius. Methinks I'll have to do some game rants.
-
that lost me completely with his son. Sorry. And I also kept getting confused by Wolfram and Hart.
-
During Buffy, I had a hard time with the more melodramatic moments, but Angel makes even those moments work. And surprisingly Boreanz turns out to be a better lead than I would have expected.
-
Depends on your viewpoint. 4 has a wobbly overall story and a terrible villain (and Riley), 6 is mostly good but horribly depressing, and 7 is kind of a mess but with a great ending.Take your pick, really, although I still enjoyed them all.And Angel was never as good as Buffy, except maybe for season 5. Season 4 of Angel is quite possibly the worst season of anything I've watched on the telly.
-
But just looked her up and that is one enchanting piece of gear. Desert of broken glass worthy.
-
Weird face, very nice body. Also worth a nose if you're bored and can find the pictures on the internets.
-
It's in season 6. It took me by surprise, since I'm not a fan of musicals and I was dreading seeing it, but it's really fucking good.
-
My favorite part of that episode is when Buffy and Giles are using the projector to tell the group about the problem and what needs to be done. The hand gestures are hilarious. At one point, Buffy is trying to show how they need to kill the creatures, by making a stabbing motion with her fist, except she's sitting down and the motion is going towards her crotch. It looks like she's jacking someone off and everyone looks at her funny. Then Xander and Anya are flirting, and Anya gives Xander a sly look and moves her index finger very quickly in and out of the hole she's made with her other hand's thumb and finger, and they run off to have sex. I thought it was hilarious.
-
Save for the musical episode, that's fucking horrible and depressing TV.
-
I might have been able to make it. But still, that woulda been cool to meet a fellow CoCer in person. At first, I thought you may have met another filmmaker friend who is in town from LA but went to school up at NCSA. I thought he may have been in Winston-Salem and you ran into him. He was on that Amtrak train from Charlotte to Raleigh that hit a parked tractor trailer the other day (if you heard that news story).

But mostly because I liked Willow and had gotten tired of Buffy (as a character) at that point, so I kind of enjoyed the possibility that Buffy would get her ass handed to her by nerdy Willow.But I agree it can be hard to get through. It's much too depressing, even with some quality comic relief from the Trio.

After sifting through that Buffy chatter, I have to say...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
How the fuck did that Carpenter chick doing Playboy slip past me? And I got bored of Buffy after about two seasons. It just kept going on! And on! AND ON! I remember they tried to do a musical episode once. Boy was that painful.
-
I didn't find the trio humourous at all. They were creepy even before they become characters who were cool with rape.
-
but having looked them up: 1 was good, 2 was excellent, 3 (top series), 4 was pants- fucking lame villain and Riley (the cocksucker, I'd forgotten about him), 5 was quite good- and I want to fuck glory, 6 was too depressing for words and a bit irritating, and 7 fucking stank.

Did I take a shit and come back to a parallel universe?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
How exactly was that musical episode "pretty good"?
-
Written by Ben Edlund of "The Tick" fame. I didn't get to see much Angel, but I did see that. And Buffy's Triumvirate, or The Trio, whatever that fanboy group of guys who wanted to be supervillains was called, was a nice funny twist. And the resolution to that season? Holy hell...
-
It's a shitty day at work today, but a bit of Buffy on the Ain't It Cool has perked me right up.
-
the musical episode was a good idea that was not well executed. It wasn't dull though.
-
Puppet cancer!I saw that episode of Supernatural recently with the giant teddy bear that tries to kill itself, and it kind of reminded of that one. Doesn't Ben Edlund also write for Supernatural? The name rings a bell.
-
Depressing, but in a good way. A twist I certainly didn't expect to see.
-
It's incredibly good for TV.
-
Nor any of Angel. I have, however, watched Firefly numerous times and love the living hell out of it. The new Dollhouse show by Whedon sucks 20 different kinds of rancid, infected ass.Jarv, I've liked Lost in the past but this seson has, until the last two episodes, sucked like a hooker convention in Las Vegas.Terry Crews rocks. Malibu's Most Wanted was "da shiznit" Charisma Carpenter was top flight in Veronica Mars. She seems like she would be all sorts of fun in the rack.Jonah welcome back.There I think I'm caught up.
-
were as good as the show got, but I'm looking forward to the whole thing.
Right now, Riley is a crap character(a clear attempt to give us an Angel replacement but it sucks) and it's this far in without a signifcant villain? And how many times is something going to try and open the Hellmouth? -
I think? He created "The Tick" and seems to do freelance episode writing for other shows. I haven't seen Supernatural but a suicidal Teddy Bear is the saddest thing I've ever heard of. But seriously- Angel's puppet episode. WATCH IT. I almost bought a puppet of that Angel puppet.
-
It had a great finale (with great music) and the captain from Firefly makes an appearance as the evil priest Caleb. Xiphos would appreciate that, being a Firefly fan.
-
So far, even at it's most dramatic (prob season 2) Buffy was never depressing. Don't ruin it for me though.
-
"I said I have a Gamecast! I'M POOR!"
-
that whole episode was priceless. "So we're just going to stop everyone's wishes then? Isn't that a bastard thing to do?" "yup"
-
I'm trying not to spoil any future episodes. I don't actually think S6 is depressing as others have said, it just gets much darker than the show has been before.
-

Think I need to sit this convo out
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Since I'm pretty much indifferent to Buffy and you all seem to love it.
-
It was just all over the fucking place. The evil priest was OK, but he was powered by "The first evil" which is charmed level stupidity.
-
That has all the seasons. Amazon sometimes does sales for like $100. Its never at my local Best Buy. Shame.
-
It's just a bit of mess. Too many characters (especially the potential slayers, who are all intensely annoying) and the overall story for the year falls apart if you think about it too much.It's still good if you're a fan, and I think it's James Marsters's best year by far.
-
or are they setting Spike up to yearn after Buffy? That's gonna be strange. If there's a future season with Spike as a romantic interest, then this show is nuttier than I anticipated(in a good way).
-
I think I just grew out of it.
-
just a right fucking mess. They should have stopped it at the end of Season 5. That's the logical place to finish it.
-
I seem to remember an ep early in the season that dealt with The First. I thought that idea was pretty mythic. But honestly, I missed some of Season 7, and after it ended, the series restarted itself, and then FX took it out of their afternoon lineup. So when I watched and saw Caleb for the first time, I had no freakin idea what was going on.
-
Sadly - I think he'd write a phenomenal episode.
-
So I'll stay mum on that one, just in case youre right, just in case you're wrong. Better to speculate.
-
I didn't realise I was spoiling it for you. I'll try to be more discreet. Seriously, I'm not even saying anything about your Spike and Buffy comment above.Not a thing.
-
I seem to remember an ep early in The Series with The First. Perhaps Jonah has already seen it, or maybe thats in S5.
-
is a Charmed villain. Blatantly. It's a bad idea and far to similar to Glory, who was a fucking god or some such.
-
Episode.
-
Amends.
-
tempting Angel to revert back to the darkness. So, it's been set up quite early. I figured that it would turn out to be the baddest of the bad.
You know who is really underrated in the show? Anthony Stewart Head. He seems to be doing the best acting job in the whole series. Subtle work in some cases. He develops from the stiff trainer to the caring father figure and in between, all the time giving flashes back to his past.
-
Holy mother of fuck was this the best worst movie I've seen in a long time. It had Mark Dascascos jumpig around, three dollar production value, it liberally rippied off from the book and Movie I am legend, The Omega Man and Vincent Price's The Last Man on Earth(Yes I know they are all based on Matheson).Man was this in the so bad it's fantastic catagory. I wish I still drank, this is a perfect flick for beer, pizza and friends.
-
From the link I posted above? Good God, look at the legs on the girl in the photo where she's leaning against the window on the balcony. Tell me you wouldn't want those wrapped around you.
-
it's still a charmed idea. Not a fan of nebulous and too "important" villains. The main evil should not be something as irreplaceable as "The First Evil" or as wank as the one in S4. Glory/ The Mayor were great baddies, because they were powerful and dangerous, but ultimately replaceable. Say you defeat the first evil, does that mean that the second evil steps up and becomes "the first surviving evil"
-
The First tried to convince Angel to kill himself in season 3.But I agree The First was not a good choice for a villain. I liked the way they used it bring back some of the older villains for 'guest appearances', but it's not really something anyone can fight.
-
Only a few eps in, but I like it. It lacks the chemistry Mulder and Scully had on XFiles, and there's no unique character like Karl Kolchak, and the humor of Buffy isn't there. But, it's got good production values and based on your love for it, I have faith it will develop over time.
-
The First Evil was incorporeal - ergo, you're fighting an idea. That's just not as interesting as a physical fight, because you can't defeat an idea. So it's a seasons build up... then it ends with a whimper.
-
Has the most hilariously awesome music choices on TV.
-
The Bear actually puts a shotgun in his mouth and pulls the trigger, blowing stuffing all over the place, but is unable to kill himself? DAMN that's some sad and funny shit.
-
So, is he recycling ideas or does he have a thing for violence against puppets?I seem to remember Angel getting mauled by a werewolf when he was a puppet and stuffing flying all over the place, much like that shot of the stuffing flying out of the teddy's head on Supernatural when he shot himself.Hehe. Violence against puppets is funny.
-
With a kid yelling "KNEEL BEFORE TODD!!" I have to check this show out.
-
The episode with the rabbit's foot also made me laugh quite a bit.
-
the current series is awesome. And full marks to Dean for boinking an Angel, although I have to say, that I reckon a demon would be better in the sack.
-
the first season? If I skip to it, will I be lost?
-
LOL. I forgot about that. I laughed my ass off at that part.
-
I mean, come on, combining titles of film adaptations for I Am Legend?
-
Not to mention how Horatio Hornblower is shot in the chest... then has his horn jammed into the chest cavity.
-
was absolutely priceless. As was Dean getting food poisoning from a sandwich that he'd wished for.
-
Had his song cut out of the movie, though. I really dig the episode where he reverts to his teenage years and is a right bastard, listening to Cream and smoking.
-
and it's a stand alone episode- so won't fuck you up too badly.
-
And Supernatural is one of those shows that works perfectly well if you dip in and out but is better if you follow the developing story from the start.
-
and later buffy learns that Giles had sex with her mom on the hood of his car.
-
there's lots of references to stuff that happens late in Series 1. Don't watch it.

Never watched an episode of Buffy, Angel or Firefly
by hawaiian organ donor
I have nothing to contribute here.Then again, I've never watched an episode of E.R., CSI, Two and a Half Men or American Idol so apparently I don't have my finger on the pulse of mainstream America.

of ASH in drag singing songs from Rocky Horror Picture Show. He was quite wasted(probably literally as well as figuratively) in Repo Genetic Opera.

Jesus. Buffy? Angel? Charmed? Supernatural?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I don't watch any of these bloody shows. It's a sad day when I choose work over blathering on about crap with the CoC lads.
-
That ep reminded me that I needed to download that Tales of Brave Ulysses song. And he shagged Buffy's mom. Hilarious.
-
it's only 13 eps or so, and it's solid sci-fi/western. It's a good place to start. It's also narratively stronger than the other shows, although they went on for years.
-
jesus, what the fuck is wrong with me?
-
Jonah SN breaks out like this. The pilot episode is awesome then it meanders a bit in season 1 until the second half when it finds it voice. From there on out it fucking kicks ass in a major way and improves gigantically from season to season. This current one is balls out great.Also like Zed noted the music kicks ass. The heart and soul of the show is the relationship between Sam and my bromance Dean.
-
Along with Lou Diamond Phillips. Maybe this will be something I should watch?
-
I wanted to fuck Alyssa Milano and Channel 5 used to show it at midday on a saturday/ sunday so it was great for dealing with poisonous hangovers. It's the gilmour girls with magic, and as such is gay and shit.
-
The two of us who like it haven't discussed it in ages, and yet you still take a fucking pop-shot at it?

How the fuck is Proyas overrated?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
The only guy that is vocal about him is Ebert because he thinks Dark City is fucking awesome. Which it is. I haven't seen The Crow since it first came out, I don't really remember it other than a totally psychotic Wincott so I can't comment. I enjoyed the hell out of I, Robot (despite many people despising it) but I wouldn't say its a good flick. Haven't seen Garage Days. Haven't seen Knowing (but I wanna!). I'm just baffled as to how you there is enough material to create a 'Proyas is overrated as fuck' theory.
-
Okay, starts with A.
-
That I would violate in ways that would get me sent to hell on the bullet train.
-
and The Crow is good as well. Great stuff. I Robot could have been much worse, but it's still pretty "meh" and as an adaptation of Asimov, it's terrible. Garage Days is underrated, but it's not in the league of his first two. Havent seen Knowing yet.
-
Huh? The guy is constantly talked up as this visionary director in magazines and on the Internet. To the extent whereby there's excuses made when his films suck (especially on this site, I remember plenty of 'oh, well it's OBVIOUSLY the studios fault that I, Robot isn't as good as it should have been.) He just strikes me as the sort of director who doesn't justify that hype. Not that he's awful, (far from it) -- more that I don't see why he'd be put on a pedestal for people to try and shield him from a bad review. Like people have to make excuses if he makes a dull film.
-
I'll check it out..
-
Do you guys get the soap opera network in Merry Olde England? If you do they are rerunning the Gilmore Girls from the beginning every weekend starting 6 April.
-
I enjoyed Dark City - I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece, but it was good. Probably deserves a second look, actually. I just didn't see anything there where, if he made a dull film, I'd say he wasn't to blame.
-
Strictly DVDs for me.
-
Mar 23, 2009 11:47:02 AM CDT
You and me must have read a different internet
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Because I hardly ever see anyone mention him. Every mention of Knowing on this site just rips into the 'piece. Dark City occasionally gets a mention, but not often. And I, Robot just gets vilified as if everyone was Catholic and it took a shit in Jesus' mouth!
-
Go back a few years - I guarantee you both Harry and Moriarty's reviews of I, Robot make excuses for Proyas. I'll give you that, since then, it's dropped off - but prior to I, Robot it was a huge 'lets bow down at Proyas' fest.
-
It was one of the first movies I watched at home when I got my projector and I just remember being wowed completely throughout.I thought the chick was horribly miscast but the rest was spot on for me.And I think Dark City is a perfect 10. There's not one thing wrong with the film. Every frame is perfection.
-
isn't actually that bad. Aside from the fucking horrid product placement. It's just soulless, crass and moronic. Dark City gets lots of love, as does the crow, but they hardly ever get mentioned.
-
Mar 23, 2009 11:53:21 AM CDT

Fair call. I'd like to hear Proyas' take on that production though. Love the backstage battles between studios and filmmakers. Unfortunately he's reamined mum on it other than saying he'd never work for Fox again.

Remembered another flick I watched on the weekend
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Bullets Over Broadway. What a brilliant flick that is. I laughed out loud about 10 times during it. One of Woodys best. "Don't speak!" Genius.
-
I've seen Gilmore Girls all the way through from start to finish (didn't miss a single episode!) just the one time and I think I was suffering from actual, physical withdrawal symptoms when it finished, so I don't know that I want to do it again.I'm clean and sober these days, Gilmore Girls-wise.I do miss my daily fix of Lauren Graham, though.

Are alright by me. Too Bad Brandon Lee died, that kid would have had a great career as an action star.

I Robot is just big and dumb entertainment
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Something Michael Bay might've directed. While there's nothing wrong with that, it suffers because its called I, Robot and is supposedly based on Asimov, and Proyas is a quality director. More was expected than just another dumb action movie.
-
the filmmaking and the fx as well as Wash's performance as the main robot were all good. In fact, the final shot of I Robot was terrific. The dumbed down script, the writing of Smith's character to reflect Will Smith, and the terrible terrible product placement bring it down a notch. Makes me want to rewatch it though, talking about it here.
-

He's married to hottie Demi Moore for a long time. They get divorced, yet he remains close with her and the kids. So close, in fact, that he becomes good buds with Demi's new lover and husband, Ashton Kutcher. So close, in fact, that Demi and Ashton attend Willis' 2nd wedding ceremony over the weekend. A guy comfortable enough with his ex-wife's new husband must be quite the cool character indeed.

Takes down the entire story instead. What a buffoon. Just update and say "I was wrong, but still, here's a cool interview with composer Brian Tyler," instead of trying to cover up your mistake.

-
Danny wants me to let you guys know you can e-mail him day or night, rain or shine at dannyglovers.dickblood@gmail.com.What's the story that Merrick screwed up?
-
What does that mean? (Sorry =)
-
Daredevil. I'm doing a series of television style script adaptations.
-
There's some audio interview with him at scorenotes.com. But Merrick's story was talking about how he's scoring "Battle for Los Angeles" and how its a kickass alien film. Then it shifted gears to talk about how the last Star Trek trailer kicked ass, and it got geeks all excited due to its powerful musical score, and how everyone was mistaken in thinking it was Michael Giacchino's original score for the film, but they are factually incorrect, bc its actually Brian Tyler's score from "Children of Dune". And then he says that they temp-tracked "Star Trek" with "Dune", then temp-tracked the trailer, then re-orchestrated that track for the new trailer. The problem is, there isn't any Brian Tyler in that last Star Trek trailer we all went gaga over- it was Trailer 2 (or the first real trailer, with Trailer 1 being the Enterprise teaser) that had the "Dune" music. Clearly the music in Trailer 3 is a riff on the Batman Begins theme music. But it seems Merrick didn't do any research, assumed Tyler was talking about the most recent trailer, not Trailer 2, and then said something along the lines of how maybe they should have gotten Tyler to score the film instead of Giacchino (a conclusion he came to based on faulty intelligence). And on top of all that, he gave us a broken link for the interview. Five people pointed out he was wrong in the TB (myself included), and instead of updating and admitting his mistake, he scrapped the whole story. So like I said, he's a buffoon.
-
I just had no idea how you could be writing Daredevil scripts for a show in its second season. Didn't realize you meant spec =). But still, excellent work! Two seasons worth of material? I'm impressed!
-
You said "airing online". Is that Brit slang for something, or are they actually being produced by yourself or others?
-
But not. At least the headline is there. Maybe Merrick doesn't know how to do "Updates".
-
Okay - basically, I (and a few others) write the equivilient of hour long scripts. We do nine or so per season. Then we upload an ep weekly, like American Networks do with their series. Just a bit of fun, and good writing practice.

Are these routes not preplanned? Does the driver just do whatever the hell he wants? Do they not have GPS in the trucks? Is there NO possible way UPS could service their customers better by figuring out who needs to sign for their packages and figuring out a route or schedule so that they can let those customers know when to expect the package on their doorstep? I mean, for fuck's sake, I haven't been able to run out on errands or, like I said up above, even take a dump bc I know these bastards will show up and disappear in a blink if I don't answer the door in 5 seconds.

Not much. Done some video reviews for MyMavra.

My description of that might still be up above, I dunno. Either way, I made like 5 posts in the TB to the Brian Tyler story. One saying I didn't think his facts were correct. A second one agreeing with everyone else that his story was incorrect. A third saying his link was broken too and "Fuck is it this hard to get quality reporting around here?" And a fourth and fifth post providing a link that proves Merrick's story was incorrect, had a youtube embed of the music from the 3rd Star Trek trailer as well as Brian Tyler's music (which was used in the 2nd). Merrick also deleted the posts belonging to others who called him out and asked for him to update his story. Apparently, Merrick doesn't like ANYONE telling him he's wrong. Either that, or he doesn't want anyone in the future to know he's wrong. So instead of updating, he just deletes all the shit he got wrong and then deletes all the talkback postings that prove he's wrong, to cover up the evidence. Douchebag.

I've been following the whole Merrick saga, and I'm glad you took the time to tell us what happened. What a complete cunt. I just lost all respect I ever had for that clown right there. Is the dude really that terrified to admit he made a mistake?
-
Is there anybody who doesn't have complete contempt for that cunt? A grown man who calls himself a serious movie reviewer who would rather sneak around like a bitch deleting posts instead of admitting he made a mistake.
Je. Sus. Wept.
It makes me sick. Right now, I don't think I could have any more contempt for any of these jag offs. We all just witnessed the exact moment AICN hit rock bottom. -
NEW DESTROYED IN SECONDS ON! I don't understand why this isn't broadcasted on every channel like a Presidential speech.
-
Did you ever send Mavra your stuff?
-
For Your Consideration. Not really finding it funny like their other stuff.
-
including the infamous and now deathly late(but still early for dvd!) review of Outlander. I've got a Knowing review and The Burrowers coming as well. Will try and get them out to you tomorrow.
I've seen Dear Zachary, Two Lovers, The Black Balloon and Inkheart, all of which are worth writing up as well. Now that I am a full time grad student, I've got time for some of this again. -
For your Consideration isnt the same level of funny, but I enjoyed it anyway. It's the only one of those films Ive only seen once, though. Mighty Wind is one Ive seen at least 7 times.
-
and Under the Hood, which are pretty much glorified supplements that don't work as well outside the context of the actual book.
-
4 Emmeys? Lame.
-
I think is there best. Mainly because those people were the easiest to make fun of. That is one of my favorite comedies. There is a deleted scene with Christopher Guests character where he is like at some shack in the woods where he keeps his beach ball collection. Its like five minutes and he goes on talking about different type of beach balls and how some are no longer made and stuff, in he kind of southern dumb guy draw. They should have kept that.
-
What are you getting your masters in?
-
We showed that to a bunch of people back in college, and one dude actually severely choked on something he was eating during that due to laughing...the beach balls were all pressed up against the sides of the windows of the old shack.
-
I think just doesn't fit in with that group. For You Consideration I think fails because it almost comes off as a documentary rather then a satire, because it feels like this is how a lot of Hollywood is not these are just weird kooky people. Ricky Gervais is just kind of wasted, they should have just had Larry Miller done Ricky's part he is funnier in these things and is just pointless being in the movie. Again Fred Willard is the funniest part as the Ryan Seacrest Entertainment Show guy.
-
What did you think of those tow movie Echo?
-
For Your Consideration had this sad depressing ending.
-
I honestly think the reason the critics hate it is because it feels like it came out of a different era. It's old school Outer Limits style sci-fi, the kind that often pondered the lines between science and theology, and sometimes went as far as to suggest the two coexist together logically, though they sometimes get in each others faces. No one really accepts an idea like that, it's either all one way or the other in today's climate, and so Knowing comes off itself as something of an artifact. Nic Cage looks just haggard and weary but that fits his character. It felt like an M Night Shaymalan film if he hadn't lost his mind and had the action staging skills of Spielberg(instead of only claiming he did). Some of it is pretty standard popcorn flick stuff, but it's the kind of disaster movie I enjoy the most-one with a brain. At least I thought so. It's miles better than a certain sci-fi comic film currently making the theater rounds.
-
"Now I know what it feels like to stare into the Grand Canyon"
-
Thought about going back and getting my Masters in something since I can't get a job. Or possible going and getting a degree in film. There is this degree now that sounds like Film Critic, its called Film and Video Studies.
-
I also like that one guy's line (the husband from Kath and Kim, I didn't really get what his role in For Your was though?). He was like "the internets, that's the one with the e-mail right?" I know I'm gonna use that.
-
that weak sauce Day the Earth Stood Still remake. If I had to find a movie that has a similar feel, it's Signs. I like Knowing better though, and thats a bit, since I really liked Signs.
-
Has anyone caught the remake?
-
It would be easy for me to dismiss it, even though there are some spectacular moments. Overall, it really feels like Kaufman is just puttering around inside the big cluttered hangar of his own mind. I got tired of it real quick, even though I was always interested in what was going on. The difference between this and the other films is I was never engaged in what was going on. It might be brilliant, but it's gonna require at least one more viewing from me to find out, and right now Im not sure it was compelling enough to warrant that viewing immediately.
-
more compelling than Synecdoche, but both were well worth seeing and they were refreshing to me.
-
I agree with you about how its just Charlie puttering around in a big hanger, and I got tired of it real quick but was interested. That's weird, that's totally how I feel about it. Just I don't feel compelled to watch it again. I've talked to Fu about this, he loves the movie, I saw it by myself and felt that I needed to talk about it afterward and try to figure shit out. There is this special feature on the dvd with four douchebag critics/bloggers talking about this movie and tripping over each other to cup Charlies balls while they're gagging on his artistic merit. It was SO lame and pointless to make this a special feature, it was like 4 people you hate, but everyone else thinks they know what they are talking about, telling you that this is an amazing movie.
-
just straight up entertain me or I get invested in are the ones I remember most. For instance Knowing was just preposterous thriller material and I had a great time. Outlander is one of the best times Ive had this year, and that's one of the silliest movies going. Dear Zachary is devestating and straightforward, but geez, has there been more of an experience this year?
I think that Im beyond the point where everything needs to be high art layered with tons and tons of meaning. I still want to see movies like that, but then I also want stuff like vikings fighting aliens. -
existential quandries, but thats all it does. That scene where PSH is sifting through his own bowel movement looking for warning signs. Thats like a metaphor for the entire movie.
-
Whenever I tell anyone about Outlander all I say is, Vikings and Aliens. Usually they are sold.
-
You can never ever go wrong with that combo. The only things that makes that pairing better is midgets, juggs and Samurai monkeys.
-
Why the fuck do network channels always have to fucking cut into programming with STORM WARNING SHIT. I fucking hate that shit. I can deal with the in between commercials shit and the stupid thing in the corner. But there never is a good enough reason to cut off half of the show. I mean all it ever is, is a fucking schmuck weather guy showing the same video clip OVER AND OVER again. I had a roommate who would wake up sometimes two hours early for work? And would just watch the weather channel? I couldn't tell if he was a psycho or a retard.

Thanks to the Storm I really had no idea what the fuck was happening.

I will ask you the same question (in advance) that I'm wanting to ask Series. What name do you want your work posted under? Just email me when you have a chance so I can credit it the way you want it. Thanks guys!

All three?

And use Series7.

Your awesome. Ok I don't know why I keep going to Craigslist to look for jobs. I hate that place, I once almost got caught up in one of those schemes you see on the tele. Though like I sent my resume out and all of the sudden I got this check in the mail and people bugging me online to western union it and shit. So I'm going to bed now.
-
Avoid those pyramid schemes, too.
-
Last night was just the one movie, and then ANOTHER attempt to watch the epic fail that is Dexter Series 2.
-
was the movie, and Jarv DOES NOT recommend. If you've seen Central Station/ City of God/ City of Men/ any other Brazilian movie in the last 10 years, avoid. Reasons for watching- outstanding performance from woman, in fact, good performances all round.
-
it's totally unresolved, and I don't mean a little bit. You've gone through this 2 hours of unrelenting misery with this family and then the film just ends. Seriously. No conclusion, no payoff, nothing. It's just too misreable. Seriously, there's nothing in it to lighten the mood. It's also a story that's way to predictable. If you're interested in Sallas watch Central Station. Overall, 6 out of 10 for quality (it's obviously well made), and 2 out of 10 for enjoyment.
-
I'm sorry, but that's now curtains for it. There isn't even any boobies to keep me interested any more. I don't care about Lilah faking rape, I don't care about his Daddy issues, and I don't fucking care about his sister. Doakes in the cage in the swamp is interesting, but he was only there for a minute and then buggered off to Lila's hospital bed. I think Dexter is much better when there is some overarching big bad serial killer on the loose- this crap with them chasing him and all the bollocks with his personal life is fucking painful.
-
"Dexter was only there for a minute"

Watched My Blue Heaven last night. Hadn't seen it for at least 15 years. An amusing diversion but far from a classic. I've got my fingers crossed for you, Frankie. The threat of the redundancy hammer sucks.
-
My colleagues have an odd fascination with those films, and it's too early to be a dick about it so I'm nodding politely and feigning interest.
-
I'm thinking about checking it out (the new norror film, not the character off Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), but possibly only because it has the hot brunette out of Blade: The Series in it.I have had two bad experiences recently - Evan Almighty and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry - that stemmed from my weakness for films with attractive women in them, and this could potentially be a third strike.Anyone know if it's any good?
-
I don't think so, anyway.That should be 'horror'.
-
Yeah... Lauren Graham is stuck in some shitty fucking films.
-
I'll give her a few bonus points for being in Bad Santa ("fuckmesantafuckmesantafuckmesanta"), but the other two films I've seen of hers are Evan Almighty and The Pacifier, both of which are pure shite.
-
was she vampire chick in Blade. Because, Yes, She would get foully abused
-
was criminally underrated. I really enjoyed the second half of it. The first half was a bit hit and miss.
-
I haven't seen anything top drawer in ages. And I've been let down by several things.
-
I think the actress in Blade was named Jill something...Hang on a sec...Okay, according to IMDB she is named Jill Wagner. IMDB does not mention her having great tits, but that's what I remember most about her. Anyway, she's in this film called Splinter, which I may have a look at if anyone here has anything positive to say about it.It's either that or Quantum Of Solace, and the more I hear about that one the less interest I have in it.
-
I liked Splinter. I think it's enjoyable if you watch it expecting as much offbeat humor as gore. Series7 and IamMr.Monkey! also said that they liked it. I have a non-spoiler review, if you are interested. http://tinyurl.com/de7ovt

Bullets over Broadway, Say Anything, The Vanishing, The Princess Bride. They make up for the absolute shite like What Just Happened? and Breaking and Entering.

You should try watching some foreign flicks, Frankie

There are a million and one of those that are considered classic that I am yet to see. And when they're good, they're really fucking good. Like The Vanishing.

12 Rounds is Renny Harlins new action epic
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Looks like vintage Renny. The must see movie of 2009.
-
Something tells me I'll be getting shitfaced at a double bill of... Final Destination 4 3D & Inglorious Basterds This one definitely requires massive consumption of alcohol before, during and after.
-
*Pencilling in must-see movie and note of future self-trashing by Droid*.
-
Nice review. That's three positives all in one go, so I reckon Splinter is on the list.
-
Last house on the left doesn't come out here until September 4th! Ridiculous.
-
Those are foreign, as per Droid's suggestion.Anyone seen either of the Death Note films?I might give those a go.
-
...I am English, so technically the vast majority of films I watch are foreign.I believe we are still counting the US as a foreign country here. Pretty much, anyway...
-
One of the several reasons I like this place is that I find out about all of the films that I've been missing. You men are my movie gurus.
-
Might well have to go. Mrs. Jarv is making mutinous noises about Outlander- to quoth "more retarded shit" But seeing as Voldefilm and Linha were both her fault she can get back in her box for a while on this one.
-
requiring subtitles to understand whats going on. That kind of foreign. Mav, those are just the epic double bills that i might take in this year, if my liver holds out.
-
Upon further consideration, I would even venture to say that is is an entire collection of foreign countries with no marked borders. That would explain a lot.
-
at all.

Do the movies drive you to drink or does the drink drive to you the theaters? No, no. You shouldn't be driving at all in your inebriated condition.

Thought it would be right up your alley, Jarv
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Mind you, I don't think it features a midget eating himself so maybe not.
-
the drunker you are, the better they seem.
-
So my lack of interest in alcohol could be tied in with my lack of interest in women. Brilliant! Heterosexuality drives me to sobriety. Now I fear the thought of drinking. I may have a new phobia.
-
especially when you consider that you can wake up the next day with a bastard hangover and wonder if it was worth it in both cases.
-
Unfortunately, there are a few too many women in the world who are like Dawson Vs Squid, which is to say there is no amount of booze that will make them seem better.
-
made me hate both Dawson (Whom I already wasn't fond of) and Squids. Too much Dawson, not enough squid.
-
Films, that is, not women (not that there's anything wrong with the latter).I've got all three Infernal Affairs and the one and only Kung Fu Hustler on the DVR, plus I might give the Death Notes a go.Any other recent Asian films worth checking out? Chocolate? That war film with Jet Li? Mongol?
-
They are very amusing, though sometimes a challenge to decipher. Perhaps the women seem better when you are drunk because they are in a good humor from laughing at you.
-
The second IA isn't worth it. Honestly.
-
Have you seen Buppah Rahtree? It's a very good ghost story from Thailand. Jonah Echo recommended it to us several months ago.
-
it's that you don't really care what they look like- movies also go with this as well.
-
Mr. Twitch thinks it sucks ass, due to dismal acting and a terrible storyline, but there is something intrinsically funny about an autistic girl beating up thugs.
-
Mar 24, 2009 6:01:46 AM CDT
That's why I said "seem" not "look"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
With a healthy dose of alcohol, any movie/women can be forgiven their annoyances, which when sober, become abundantly clear and therefore much more difficult to forgive.
-
True Grit. That's an appaling idea. Their last remake was a fucking dreadful travesty. They're much better being original.
-
Awesome. Gone with the Wind with Midget eating himself scene. That's really funny.

Wizard of Oz with midgets eating themselves?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Bloodbath!
-
one of whom has to eat Eli Roth, then himself. Still a terrible idea, but at least that scene would be amusing. Re- Saw: Saw 1 isn't actually that bad, Saw 2 has it's moments and the rest suck irredeemably. Even Saw 1 and 2 only reach the giddy height of "slightly worse than average". They're both better than Hostel though.
-
Mar 24, 2009 6:17:37 AM CDT
Only ever watched the first Saw
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Will never watch anymore. The first one was okay for what it was, but just not my thing.
-
I dug it, but there's better horror.
-
That's embarrassing, even by AICN standards.Everyone here talking about there not being any good recent movies is daffy. I think you all need a good dose of Punisher War Zone.Franklin, do you need me to send a movie kit out to you as well? You can ask Jarv and the others, I send out a pretty good assortment of stuff and I try my best to filter out the drek. And I have films you won't find anywhere else. So just say the word and I'll drop something in the mail.So you know that skank who can't live off $53,000 a week? They broke down her weekly spending. $4,500 a week on new clothes. I don't think I've spent that much on clothes TOTAL my entire life.
-
Christ. What the fuck is she buying. I thought Mrs. Jarv's shoe fetish was daft.
-
really good stuff and a lot of it you won't be able to get elsewehere. V. Grateful for last one, and need to pull my finger out and send those monster munch to series (before I get pissed and eat them), and some stuff from Europe back.
-
hows it going? I wrote a whole thing up for Frankie for asian films and directed him towards you as our resident asian film Santa.
My favorites from the HOD collection have been:
The Assembly
Invisible Target
Red Cliff(both parts are great)
I'm a Cyborg, but that's O.K.
Chocolate(it aint about the acting, it's about watching people bounce off ledges and then fall 20 ft to the ground.
Save the Green Planet-KAARAAAZZY
Daisy-still surprised by how much I liked that one.
The Chaser-Man, this one still haunts me.
and while I didnt recieve them directly from HOD, IP Man, The Good, the Bad and the Wierd are also great stuff.
Also, Frankie, find Happiness of the Katakuris, Survive Style 5+ and A Taste of Tea. Madness. Pure madness for all of them. -
headache inducing, but plenty of interesting weirdness in it. If you're going to watch Miike, then it's not a bad shout. Avoid Ichi and (for the love of god) Visitor Q
-
of Miike I can tolerate. I don't typically seek him out. Some of his films are either way outside of what I personally want to watch(Ichi for instance) or they are hastily slung together. I think Happiness, Bird People of China, Zebra Man and Great Yokai War are the only ones I'd actually call worthwhile. Since he has made so many freakin movies, and probably made 3 more while I was typing this, it's possible there are more good ones. I don't scour his ouvre looking for them though.
-
forgot about that one.
-
one from the HOD collection.
-
Pop into Old Navy and pick up a few shirts, shorts and pants and that's $100 tops.The daft cunt was wearing $255,000 earrings to the couthouse yesterday and still has the audicity to claim she's penniless. Maybe we need to build a golden plated chipper especially for her.Ichi the Killer is awful. I ain't a fan of torture porn to begin with but the vile stuff Miike pulls in that made me throw up food I've yet to eat.No word from Franklin for over two hours now. That has me concerned.
-
I'm all revved up for an Asian season, plus 2009 doesn't look too great for US films so I might become a more regular viewer of Asian stuff.HOD - I'm in England, so I don't know if you do international deliveries. If you do, I take my hat off to you as officially the nicest guy on the internets. If you're willing, e-mail me here:franklin_t_marmoset@yahoo.co.ukCheers, mate.
-
top film.
-
I was working. Unusual, I know, but sometimes it can't be avoided.I don't find out about the boot until 4.30, but from what I can piece together my options are either redundancy or commuting to Bath (they're closing the Bristol office, the cunts), which is about twenty miles or so out of town.
-
It was effective..but Im not saying I liked it. And HOD IS the nicest guy on the internets. Unless you get him in a political TB. JK.
-
Kind of a sweet film until it turns horribly and suddenly nasty (in a good way) at the end.The only other Miike I've seen is Ichi The Killer, which I wasn't too keen on.
-
I can't see it being easy commuting to Bath without one. Misreable fuckers. Best take it at the moment though. Isn't it craven to find out at that time of day? wankers.
-
We just bonded a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm invited to go bowling!I know bowling is a very Dude thing to do, but I'm not into bowling at all, especially when it's a part of some enforced work bonding exercise. Fuck that.
-
you gonna give him Outlander?
-
That's horrid. Mine's on Thursday, but at least it includes a drunkening rather than bowling and I live close enough to work to fuck off as soon as they start bugging me.
-
But I wasn't prepared for the......well, you know.Franklin, I just sent you an e-mail. And don't fool yourself, I'm a prick. I play nice in here but the instant I step outside, I'm a raving lunatic. I've been told by friends I make the absolute worst first impressions because I speak my mind and seem to be on a mission to offend everyone.
-
Commuting will mean either driving or taking the train, and with the expense of parking in Bath (which is essentially a large and very pretty prison for posh people) the cost will work out about the same. Either way it will wipe out the pay rise I got the other month.It's the time involved that bothers me more. Getting up earlier, leaving earlier, coming home later in the evening.Don't these people realise that I'm extremely lazy and also trying to watch 500 films in a year?
-
I think to a greater or lesser extent we all qualify as pricks. Except for Jonah, who seems genuinly nice all the time- and occasionally bemused by rowing.
-
They should, really- and is there company parking? NOt to mention, it makes after work on Friday night drunkenings almost impossible if you have to drive. I'm 30 and haven't owned a car for 6 years. But then I've lived in Central London for 9 years. So a car would be a dumbassed waste of money.
-
We have no access to Yahoo mail at work, so I'll contact you later today.You're a good guy as far as I'm concerned.
-
Commute, sunshine - anytings better than the boot. I survived the first round of redundancies, there's another round coming apparently. Predictably, no pay rise this year.And HOD is not a prick. Pricks don't spend personal time putting movie packs together and sending them out to all and sundry. Even over to dear old Blighty as well. He's a top bloke.
-
He'll get Outlander for sure. And possibly something European.
-
he was saying outside of here- But I don't think that counts. As I'm not convinced there is a real world outside of here.
-
Cutting costs and whatnot.This credit crunch business is giving all employers the opportunity to be as cuntish as they damn well please.P.S. I am generally a prick, especially at work, but most of the time people just think it's funny, which can be annoying. If anyone's ever seen the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry tries to get angry and George and Elaine keep laughing at him, that's basically me.
-
A commute may be a pain, but it's less of a pain than no job at all.I continue to blame bankers for this whole sorry mess (except for droid). And they're giving themselves bonuses. The only bonus a banker deserves (except for droid) is a bonus Hulk foot booting them all into trees.
-
My wife calls me a prick so it's ingrained.Your new kit should be arriving shortly. It'll be nice to finally have another round of movies this group can talk about because we've all seen them. I can only mutter to myself about Asian spaghetti westerns so much.I commute an hour each way and I looooooathe it. It gives me time to work through my script beats and listen to a full album but it's a colassal waste of gas (even for a hybrid), time and furthers to kill that little piece of me that dies everyday in the workforce.
-
lands at the end of April in the UK. It's a reet load of perishing ballsacks waiting for that one.
-
go the back channels and look for The Burrowers. I liked it quite a bit. It was no Outlander, but it was a decent little horror/western flick and there was more substance there than I expected.
-
Cheers for sending another kit out to me - that's something to look forward to. I've not got my movie-head on at the moment so I reckon this'll be the kickstart I need to get back on the cinemtaic rails.
-
Yes. Or 'cinematic.' Won't catch on like "Norror" I shouldn't think.
-
It is a highly cinemtaic genre. Probably the most cinemtaic of all the genres.You should check some of them out.
-
Norror has potential though. Even if it's sort of a contraction of Not and Horror. Perfectly describes Saw, that, actually.
-
I don't know if anyone is interested by Matt Taibbi has an article up at Rolling Stone that chronicles this mess and places the blame at the feet of one guy. And that prick is living in London so Jarv, you might have to take one for the team by putting one behind his ear.It's a long article and some of it goes over my head but it's a good read for anyone who wants to see how one man can be blamed for collapsing the world.

I've delved further into season 4 and the whole darn thing is falling apart. Is "Adam" the big bad for Season 4, because if so, that is horribly lame. Also, in the space of three episodes this thing became a freakin' soap opera. The wiccan lesbian thing isn't even the really lame part. That would be Riley.

Bankers in general are pricks (except for me)
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But i'm not really a banker. Just work for a banking establishment. I commute for an hour door to door. Unless one fucking line goes down and I have to take 6 fucking trains and over two fucking hours just to get to this shithole. I swear, London is fucking useless. Why design a new corporate fucking centre in the middle of the docklands that has one way in and one way out. Fucking retards. Anyway, enough of my bitching. I've nearly always commuted at least an hour to work. Over an hour in Australia. I'd prefer not to of course but thats the way it is. Frankie, I'd try to keep my job as much as possible if I were you. Unless you just flat out hate it and would prefer to do something else of course.

Both are equally bad. The bland boyfriend and the crappy villain.Don't worry, Jonah. Things pick up in season 5, in which Riley gets a little bit more interesting (not much, but a little) and the villain, Glory, is a huge improvement. I think she's my second favourite 'Big Bad' after Mayor Wilkins.

football team there sucks. And Cassano is a cunt. If he lives in a townhouse near Harrods then it won't be hard to track the dirty little cocksucker down
-
It's not too bad, actually. One of the better ones I've had. And the people here - aside from the strange Saw obsession - are mostly good folks. Not good enough that I want to go bowling with them, but pretty decent sorts.Mind you, if there was a job available at the box factory up the road from my flat, I would be sorely tempted to take it. Not because I have a great desire to make boxes but because, you know, it's just up the road from my flat. I could go home for lunch!
-
fucking bastards. How the fuck dare they pay bonuses to keep "key personnel" a fucking moronic inbred monkey could have done a better job than these greedy fucking ham fisted money sucking bookie cunts. Fuck me. I'm fucking fuming. How, precisely, are any of these incompetent dipshits "key". I still think all the governments missed a trick by not saying "fuck you, you got yourselves into this, go to the fucking wall" and then suing all the turds in the name of the creditors to get the money back, Motherfuckers. I don't buy this "too big to fail" shit. The world needs resetting. Badly.

Oh, and people tend to dislike me when they first meet me
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Because I usually call it as I see it. For example, I went along to see a band the other day. I was invited by a friend, who had a friend that knew the band (unbeknownst to me. I just thought they were groupie fans). Anyway, afterwards I was asked if I liked them, and I basically said they were shit. This didn't go down too well because most people tend to tell people what they want to hear. Anyway, long story short, the friend now likes me because we had a subsequent convo that didn't involve massaging their ego and agreeing with everything they said. Saying that... Most people don't get that second convo, so therefore I remain disliked by many. And I really couldn't give a shit. Fuck what a boring story.

LOL, that's why I'm saving that article for later
by franklin t marmoset
I am already spending too much of the day storing up a bunch of potential rage, and reading about those cunts in the banks will just make me even angrier.And 'too big to fail' was an inevitable consequence of globalisation. Many of the bigger corporations have become too big and too important to the world economy to fail. I hate it, and it goes against the supposedly Darwinian way the business world is supposed to work, but I'm fucked if I know what to do about it.I'm in with the reset idea, though. Get Snake Plissken on the case. He'll reset the shit out of this mess.
-
This is by far one of the nicest collections of non-pricks on the internets (outside of one of those awful sites where rudeness is banned outright), and yet for some reason we all think we're cunts.What's that about?
-
Long greasy hair, eye-patch, black wife-beater... Holding a remote... "Call me Franklin." *CLICK*

Didn't mean to rattle your cage. Just thought it was an eye opening article and worth sharing.And as fond as I am of the chipper, I think those AIG folks need to be catapulted into a wall.Working at a box factory would about suit my qualifications. Living in a box factory would be even better so you could walk downstairs to work.
-
did you know that the British police have been ordered to prepare plans for a "Summer of Rage"- on the basis that we've got untold levels of this shit as well, and it's apparently going to be hot this year and they're leaking the bad news bit by bit. I can't believe the fucking balls on them. Cocksuckers. No bastard is being called into account and going to fucking jail for criminal negligence. Not even that RBS cunt.
-
"The most galling thing about this financial crisis is that so many Wall Street types think they actually deserve not only their huge bonuses and lavish lifestyles but the awesome political power their own mistakes have left them in possession of. When challenged, they talk about how hard they work, the 90-hour weeks, the stress, the failed marriages, the hemorrhoids and gallstones they all get before they hit 40.
"But wait a minute," you say to them. "No one ever asked you to stay up all night eight days a week trying to get filthy rich shorting what's left of the American auto industry or selling $600 billion in toxic, irredeemable mortgages to ex-strippers on work release and Taco Bell clerks. Actually, come to think of it, why are we even giving taxpayer money to you people? Why are we not throwing your ass in jail instead?"
That is so fucking true. And as a warm up for the chipper I nominate "sir" Fred Godwin, who bankrupted Europe's biggest bank and is getting to keep his fucking pension of $1.6m per year despite the fact that the CUNT has had the fucking temerity to take something like $100m in bonuses. Fucking hate them, hate all of them. Mind you, my mood was bad when I discovered several labour politician cunts that live in london abusing the expenses thing to buy homes for their FUCKING families and then making out that they hadn't done anything wrong, but "maybe the rules need looking at". I'm seething.

I think it was Harriett Harmon on the news last night
by franklin t marmoset
Maybe, don't quote me on that.But someone asked her about that business of politicians claiming expenses for their families' homes, and she had the balls to say she was more interested in combating terrorism than worrying about whether the rules for expenses needed to be changed. As though we are all somehow ASSHOLES for spending time thinking about how maybe it is wrong for politicians to be claiming money they don't need in the current financial climate instead of worrying more about terrorists.Honestly, I don't know if it's because I'm older now and more aware of the bullshit, but sometimes the lies these idiots tell and the 'spin' tactics they use are so utterly transparent that I don't understand how they keep getting away with it.
-
this is why I'm so angry about the MP thing. I'm used to them being corrupt greedy cunts and doing things like using taxpayer money to plug the gaping chasm in their own pentions, or raping the expenses system to hire family members at grossly overinflated salaries to stuff envelopes etc. But what has got me with this one, is that they've told a fucking parliamentary "yes man" to conduct an inquiry, told him what to write, they can ignore him anyway, and told him to publish it after the next election. Dirty. Fucking. Bastards. And the cunts are paid £63 grand a year (for just the most basic cunt) before expenses, so I fail to see how any of them are remotely underpaid.
-
the child abuse in Islington social services. Harmen is in on it though- "campaign donations". I've Forgotten the fucking whore's name, but I would barbecue the bitch with a big fucking aerosol and a lighter and still feel that she'd got off lightly.
-
You guys know better than to poke the bear with a stick!
-
because I fucking hate that cunt. And she was "minister for children" for a while. I couldn't fucking believe that one.
-
That's the cunt. And the other cunt is some cunt I've never heard of (wow. That's money well spent) called Tony McNulty. I've just discovered that the average MP cunt claims £116,000 (outside of salary) on expenses. Finally, did you know that we buy their fucking London flats and then if they leave the House of Commons the cunts get to keep them? Fucking outrageous.
-
right. That's it. I'm not reading anything more about it- or I'll have a fucking anuerism. But I thought I'd share this with you other poor UK bastards: "Plans for details of MPs' expenses to be exempted from freedom of information laws were to be put to the vote in January but were shelved after criticism from campaigners." I wonder which fucking way that will go?
-
Except some cunt has nicked my lighter. I'm going to track them down, feed them their own entrails and then smoke until I feel better. See you soon.
-
It's gotten to the point now that this kind of stuff is starting to make me laugh (I don't think I have the same capacity for anger that Jarv has). They're just so fucking brazen about it. I mean, what the fuck has terrorism got to do with politicians sucking as much money out of their jobs as they can? Not a damn thing, but she successfully used it to bat away the question.If we can't get Snake Plissken, I vote we give Jeremy Paxman a shotgun and allow him to shoot every politician who won't give a straight answer to a question square in the face.
-
followed by lawyers. those two groups have stolen more money then all the bank robbers, identitey thieves, junky stick up men and con men combined then squared. It's no wonder that most politicians are shysters. It's the best way to steal.

He says he's disappointed with Punisher: War Zone because it continues to stray from the more serious source material but he drooled like an idiot fanboy over the movie that turned Peter Parker into an emo flamenco dancer.

Hehe. I think I did that, too.I'm sort of looking forward to the new Punisher, though. Everything I hear says it's thoroughly retarded but also enjoyably violent, which sounds pretty good to me.

Considering you coined the term, Franklin, it should a perfect diversion for you.

Scrunchies.A journal for Jarv to write his most personal and private thoughts in (also, poetry).A poster of one of those douches out of High School Musical.Wait, I'll stop now. I don't know what I'm on about. Haven't even seen the film, and Jarv is not a teenage girl as far as I know.
-
Although I did go through a phase of wearing my "I'm that teenage girl you jerked off in that chatroom with" T-shirt though. Which I thought was hilarious.

dumbhouse is just the ticket. Which makes it annoying that Lovefilm won't send me Dark Angel. Because that's richter scale dumbhouse.

A Peter Kay DVD.My sister-in-law got it for me, the only thing she knew about me being that I like anything funny. But little did she know that Peter Kay makes me go off on rants more foul-mouthed and unpleasant than when Jarv talks about politics or Twilight. Such is my hate for Peter Kay.I tried my best to fake liking it, but my wife (of the time) was well aware of my hatred of the unfunny fat man she and burst out laughing.

Long day. Typing going oot the window.

And she's fucking hot. She's also a 2001 graduate from NC State. And she was in that great SciFi "Original Movie" Splinter that we talked about a few weeks ago.

But once I read that the special edition came in a jewelery box with a limited edition charm bracelet, I started to suspect that maybe it wasn't for me.
-
Fucking hell.That's 'I don't know much about this Twilight'.

A nice surprise coming from SciFi Channel's "Original Film" moniker. And the Mayor in Buffy was a fantastic character.

Splinter is out on DVD here next week (I think), so I'm definitely going to give that one a go.No one has had anything bad to say about it so far, which is good news. Haven't seen a decent horror in a while.

just for "The way to Amarillo" song and video which was the least funny thing ever. Even by comic relief's usual dismally low standards.
-
from Xi in that Heroes thread: "I didn't like TDK, I thought it was mediocre but loads better then Batman Begins a truly bad funny book movie. So, fucko, you are wrong YET again. You must like being wrong since you dwell in the land of wrong all the time.
Also you are a liar. The only women in comic book shops are kids mothers. Are the the kiddies the reason you hang around the comic shop?
Without YOU geeks clamoring for every boring ass funny book movie to be just like your precious comic stip, actual GOOD comic strip movies would get made. Instead of slavish, unimagitve, derivitive shit like; well your precious comic strips.
Now go make me my double double before I have to report you to your shift leader. I don't want to be responsible for having a sixty year old yelled at by a more succesful 19 year old. You fat, lazy, cheeto encrusted, basement dwelling, blue wang loving piece of shit fanboi virgin." I especially like "cheeto encrusted....blue wang loving piece of shit fanboi virgin" He should have left basement dwelling out.

Were the effects. They go old-school practical almost the entire time. It gave me a very distinct Rob Bottin's work in "The Thing" feel.

"basement dwelling" is the most overused insult here
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And I solely blame that cock Laserpants because each and every one of his posts insults someone with the exact same inane, unoriginal rhetoric.
-
that blonde Vampire chick had a really nasty look about her. I sort of like that.
-
but I do enjoy his rows with Motoko. SOrt of like watching 2 monkeys throw poo at each other. I gave up on Laserpants when he raved about how amazing AND intelligent Hostel was.
-
I thought it was just the posts I made yesterday. But no, its every single GD post ever (since I was last banned by Beaks). Again, whoever is responsible is a douchebag.

especially that time we crashed some random TB and started laying into the dickhead whom I located on IMDB where his credits listed him as a grip or prop assistant for the past 20 years. That was fun. Can't be arsed with it now. I hardly ever go into any other TB now that out home is well established.

Just read your post to me. You're right. Its a cuntish thing to do.

I'm pretty sure that was you, Frankie
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And that was pure gold. Your typos have a way of making perfect sense.
-
(I'm still catching up). I've seen that flick, and its insane. Such a mix of genres-detective story, scifi, horror, comedy, dysfunctional family- so strange and so sad. And yet funny and horrifying too!
-
Of "not" and "Horror"? I rather like the idea of a Noirror film...
-
In that particular case it was appropriate but I do agree it is oversold as an insult. The person it was adressed to is a pointy headed funny book nerd of messi like proportions.
-
Excellent! Thanks Franklin, Wolf, and Jarv!

Like we said, S4 is definitely the weakest of the bunch, despite a few nuggets.
-
Just send me an e-mail with a mailing address and I'll chuck a starter pack in the mail for you.grumpy_is_good@yahoo.comThat's strictly a spam account so put something in the subject line so I can pick it out of the 100 e-mails about penis enlargement.
-
Or just you? I assume its big international news since we're a big international entity, but I can't say I know much about the UK's economy other than its not good right now either. You seemed to know a lot, so I was curious as to whether most Brits are like you, au fait with our current problems or if you're an exception?
-
What a waste of time. A meeting to establish that nothing has been established yet, thanks for coming to this meeting, here is some literature for you to read, thanks again for your time.Bunch of damn idiots.
-
however, this time that intergalactic turd fondler that stole power in a coup d'etat is blaming our current mess on you. And Mrs. Jarv is American- her mother gets her pension in dollars and is shitting it- so we tend to know a bit more than most. It's pretty similar to the mess we're in actually- check out the RBS bonuses (which is as bad as AIG) and you'll see what I mean. It isn't too hard to work out that they're all aborted foetus munching dirt merchants and the bottom of the fucking Mariana Trench is too good a place for them.
-
Much like most stuff from the US spreads its tentacles out into the world, like some giant, angry comic book squid.So we do tend to pay attention here.

We're waiting to receive an e-mail response important to the TREK trailer music story. You'll understand why this is significant when you read the reposted article. It'll be a pretty thorough article touching on a few more details about the matter. -
Wasn't anti-American? I'd rather think it was a compliment.
-
Now I can see what this (seemingly) crapfest is all about.
-
World keeps turning.
-
This is true.
-
email response? What the one pointing out your incompetence?
-
Check me out, got one a them fancy back-up user names, handy on the off chance that I get myself banned for talking about Gilmore Girls too much.P.S. Thanks again to HOD. An e-mail is on it's way to you. I think e-mails from the UK to the US go by carrier pigeon, so you should get that sometime next week.
-
First post with the new name and I use an inappropriate apostrophe.For shame!
-
In that regard Doomsday excells mightily
-
The email response is a reference to the Beaks debacle in which that dick says he didn't ban me but that I basically deserved it. And why? Because I defended someone whom Beaks implied was fucked in the head ? BC I said "here comes the banhammer!" bc pple were disagreeing with him? I won't forgive Beaks for that shit.
-
Looks like the subtitles have been fucked with and are a lot different from the version released in theaters. Looks like a lot of dialogue revealing character and subtext has been deleted in favor of a cheaper, simpler text.

Mmmmm hmmm.

Who I can't stand, I meant "What the one pointing out his incompetence"

addendum- I think you were in the right in both cases, and an unsubtle use of the ban hammer is twattish behaviour. Sorry about that.
-
I would post what I can see now, but it would totally reveal where I am and if on the off chance someone connected to work saw it then I would be picking a P45. It's that distinctive, and I have to say, fucking sad.

In that other TB, Merrick goes on to respond further and I mention an email response from another AICN editor. Thought that's what you were referring to.

Golly you have been a chatty bunch of bastards the last couple of days. It's taking me days to read this damn talkback, and it's making me feel like I can't post until I'm all caught up. Then I just decided, "Fuck it."Can we all just agree this site is just dumb as shit? I only come on here to talk to you fine gentlemen. All the supposed "news" can be found anywhere else. And the people that run the site are assholes. I suppose I should be grateful for the talkbacks for being my window to meeting all of you though.
-
From what I know of you, you're definitely not an asshole. Everybody has their personal problems, but from where I'm looking, you're a friendly guy with a passion for good cinema, which puts you high up on the list of "cool people I know." Try not to be so harsh on yourself dude!
-
If you haven't yet, definitely check out the first two issues of this comic called Bang Tango. It's by Joe Kelly, the same dude who wrote Bad Dog, and it's pretty much just as loony and funny. It reads like an 80s hardboiled fiction novel revved up on cocaine, if that makes any sense at all. I'm still wondering about keeping it on the pull list, but the second issue made it a much more solid buy for me. Joe Kelly is shaping up to be my favorite comic writer since Ed Brubaker.
-
On your guys' word alone. Instead I saw fucking Twilight with my girlfriend and we downed a whole fifth of vodka.Mavra, I plan to write up a big ass review for you where I share the whole dirty story. I promise I'll actually do it this time, unlike that Let the Right One In review I promised that never came. I'm so sorry about that. School just basically blew up in my face, and I hardly had time for anything. I promise I will make it up to you with this review. I'm on spring break now, so I definitely have some time to kill.
-
The last page of both issues of Bang Tango is fucking nuts Series. I just finished issue 2, and it's even more ridiculous than the first one. You need to at least give this book a peek. Nobody's reading it and I HAVE to talk about this with someone.
-
then I gotta scram. The lady and I are going to some snazzy restaurant for lunch.Anyway, can anyone confirm that the Let the Right One In DVD has bad subtitles. I was planning on buying it either today or tomorrow, but if the subs suck, I'm keeping my money.
-
Constantly circling the drain. So I'll always be hard on myself.This site is beyond laughable now. It's been said a hundred times before. Without the TBs, it would dry up like a 90 year old it.And seriously, WTF is up with Harry? How can he rave about abysmal wretched filth like Twilight and pimp a DVD set that only tween girls are interested in when 99% of the readership here wants to bludgeon everyone involved with making the movie.I want to earn a buck as much as the next guy but damn, you gotta have some integrity in your work.
-
You should read comics. They really take the edge off of a shitty day. Watched any good movies last night?
-
I think you are the one among us who has braved it. My wife has expressed some distant curiosity, but I keep pulling up passages of the book offline and reading them to her to squash that urge. The writing is awful.
-
It's an incredible book. A true epic in every sense of the word, with some of the most fascinating characters since Lucifer in Paradise Lost (which will someday be made into the best movie ever if I have anything to say about it). All that said, I had no idea they made it into a movie. At least they didn't do it now. Hollywood's been in kind of a shit state the past couple years. Then again, I still need to see Knowing and that Liam Neelson movie. And Coraline was incredibly well crafted. Ah, I'm just a cranky bastard.
-
The only reason I was able to finish that piece of shit movie is because the bird and I guzzled vodka like water. A fifth of it in less than thirty minutes. I'll explain the whole thing in my review, but suffice it so say, the whole night was hilarious. And the best part? I woke up the next day totally fine. I never get hangovers. If I was in the X men, that would be my power. While Wolverine was slicing up bitches and Cyclops was bossing everybody around, Gambit would be in some alley giving free BJs like a fool, and I would be back at the X mansion, getting shit faced and waking up the next day totally fine. Go team.
-
There's a link up above with screenshots comparing the screener DVDs (which were the theatrical release) and the official release's subtitle changes.
-
I have the day to myself tomorrow, so I plan on writing it then. I want to meditate on the shittiness a bit more. But for those of you not planning on reading it, I can just tell you it's a bad movie. I just don't get the hype for this. People talk about it all the time, but it's just a bad story poorly made into a bad movie. The only attention it deserves is so everyone who helped create such an ugly abortion of a movie is kicked in the mouth severely, repeatedly, and then drowned in a used toilet.

Jonah's Outlander review is up for your viewing pleasure.
by mavra chang
Thanks so much, Jonah. It took me a little longer than I thought to get it posted. We're having some issues with our host server (which is why I haven't updated the contributor's page, etc. yet...it's being stubborn about letting me get to them). Is this one of the reviews that they didn't use here on AIC? That is an amazing loss to them! Btw, I kept my promise to not watch the film until I had read your review. I can now go enjoy the Morwen (even in CGI). Thanks!
-
Me too! Let's team up! Only I gotta read the thing first. But seriously, I've always been interested in the story and have wanted to make a film with Lucifer as the main character.
-
sorry to do this, but before I knew you had put it up there, I made a few minor edits and sent it back to you. Just little sentence structure stuff that bugged me. Also, it looks like there is a question mark in the review tag.
Thanks for posting though! You rock. -
Should not drink and type...unfortunately all I've had is pepsi.
-
I saw that we had both posted your review at the same time. I just forwarded your revisions to him so that we can get this turned back into one single (revised) review.
-
We'll get it fixed as soon as either a.he gets my email or b.it lets me get into the area to change it.

Tomorrow. Ha is right!

Not a classic, or even particularly good, but the 'Blue Magnum' shots were fucking hilarious.

Has to be the first Blu Ray dvd that finally has an upgraded dvd cover. Its good to see that the new format is starting to update those outdated dvds. Seriously, how many fucking AWFUL Blu Ray DVD Covers have you seen? And Rules of Attraction was a terrible DVD cover to begin with, made it look like some lame teen flick like She's the One or something, I've always loved that poster. I guess now that non of those stars are as famous as they were back then is a good thing.

Just do the trades and don't start picking up weekly comics, first off comics aren't worth shit anymore. Second you get the whole thing rather then having to wait. Seriously HOD comics are amazing. To get you started here are two comics that are going to be huge and well known down the line. The Walking Dead and The Twelve. The Walking Dead is in like 9 volumes, go pick up volume 1 and if you don't go pick up volume 2 the second you finish volume 1 I'll send you your money back. The Twelve is still going but the first half is out in trade. Its an awesome new book about twelve superheros from WWII who got frozen by the Nazi's and are awaken in 2008. Its going to be come a classic if it ever gets finished, I think they were going to have it done in 2008 but the writer (the guy who did Babylon 5, and wrote The Changeling) is probably busy with Thor. Those are two new comics that you haven't heard everyone and their mom talk about and are great reads. If you want some upcoming classics check out Y:The Last Man (Haven't read but looked through) and Invincible (haven't read but basing Kirkman off of The Walking Dead the guy's got the goods). I sure Fu will tell you to read Transmepolitian as well which I agree with and I should be starting soon. Seriously everyone should read comics.
-
What the shit? Y: The Last Man is fucking incredible. Makes Lost look like fucking shit.
-
Watched the old version of BSG? Like beyond this site I couldn't tell you a single sole that's watched BSG, except for my mom. She likes terrible Sci-Fi shows, like Stargate: Atlantis and probably BSG, but she didn't like Firefly? I made her buy it because I thought she would like it. I don't think even the guys at my comic shop watch BSG (I'm probably wrong their they probably watch it). I've tried watching it and I just can't get into it, and the whole use of the word frake makes me want to shoot myself.
-
So I've heard, I just haven't the funds to round it all up yet to read. And since it is done and all I'm hoping for maybe an absolute version perhaps? I am still 2 volumes behind in Walking Dead.
-
wasn't all that good IMO. First WTF was up with the starbuck character? Finding acient earth was kind of lame and I felt the last 9 episodes were not that good. Lastly they killed Racetrack and there wasn't one single shot of Seelix in a Bikini on the new earth. Nor any lezzie action between Racetrack and Seelix. 3 out of 10 from me.
-
Always struck me as depressing shit about how much we suck.
-
over at mavra's place? Just went up today.
-
Expect a comment soon.
-
Do you know what a double double is? If not its an In and Out Burger so good that you could have sex with it. Also I know Bath sucks at Soccer. In England I had a friend who always wore a Bath jersey and we were always like, do they have a team? The funny thing about Bath is that you think its some stupid British thing, but it really is because of the hot spring Bath's they have there.
-
The last two books absolutely blew chunks. The first eight were uneven. Some were fantastic some were very pedestrian.The Walking Dead is really good although I thought Vol 8 was lacking something I can't put my finger on and I have not read vol 9 yet. I will read it on my next deployment this summer.
-
Over on Marva's site I am Koutchboom. Thanks for reading my story Xiphos_2, did you get that it was a riff of Chinatown as well?
-
The End League, The Nightly News and Criminal 1.
-
Marva posted my story Star City over on her site. Thank you Marva for posting it.
-
I got a good laugh out of it. Funny stuff. I'll go post a comment over there soon.
-
Not yet. I'll get to it. Not tonight - it's time for bed now!So... why the name change?
-
What a site.
-
Unfare that Seth Rogan gets to work with Michel Gondry. There are SO many more talented actors and actresses that he needs to work with first before working with him. I don't hate Rogan, I'm just saying that he is SO lazy, like even his preparation to get in shape seems pathetic that there are much more charismatic actors out there that would be better suited to work with Gondry.
-
yes sir I did or maybe more acturately, the noir aspect of the story. All that was the second time through. The first time through I tried to puzzle out all the video game references. Thanks wiki for your help.
-
don't know what's wrong with it.
-
It is a good site. I've hardly been on there, but I'll get to everbody's reviews and stories, comment and stuff. Just a bit dizzy at the moment - vertigo, grinds going rind and rind...
-
I loved the show for the first 2.5 seasons but then the show started to slip for me afterwards. The finale was......okay. Not a disaster but not up to the quality of the first 2 seasons either. Didnt like how Starbucks story was resolved and how the in-heads were not explained. But I did like how Hera ended up being the mother of the human race. Also the last battle was pretty cool. So yeah.....a solid okay.
-
The Donkey Kong stuff was fucking hilarious.
-
Breaking Bad. It was slow at first but it's starting to pick up and I love it now. That bathtub scene is something I'm never going to forget. Can't wait to see the last 5 eps.
-
Still have (semi) fond memories of the one w/ co-stars Ray Bolger, Fred Astaire and Lloyd Bridges. Despite it's Certified Awfulness(TM) and (relative) lack of Giant Robots. Yes I agree by the way about this site's slide indo irrelevance. What the fuck? No Quint, No Drew, crapTastic movies ala Twilite Toes being 'reviewed' by Harold left right up and down, and the overkill spew for all things Watchmen. GAG and GACK. Maybe when new Trek and Terminator and Giant Robot(s) come in, there will be some kinda spark here. Xiphos it looks like you sat on the Bloo Wang Fiend there. He needed a Giant Robot lion to defend hisself. Yessir.
-
By all accounts quite a good player despite not being one of the, uhm, stronger members of the Hall of Fame. Still-he could hit, he could run, he could field, and he beat out Teddy Ballgame for the batting crown in '49, so there's that. Anyways.
-
Yes I agree, the batttle scenes in space were actually quite beautifully rendered. The exchange of fire between the basestar and Galactica in the asteroid field on the edge of the event horizon were great. So was using the Battlestar as a breaching device and the centurion on centurion violence was nice.Unfortunantly they lost me on the ground assault, but I'm a picky mother with stuff like that, occupational hazard. Seeing Baltar in an assault element was prety funny and Caprica's line to him made me laugh.
-
He got in the hall on the strength of beating the frozen head in Scottsdale out of the batting crown in nineteen hundred fourty and nine.I really didn't want or need to go nuclear on that asshat but he asked for so I obliged.I also have fond memories of the original BSG. It came on Sunday nights on ABC just before they played a James Bond movie. When you are nine years old it was fucking heaven
-
Breaking Bad is so good, you need to get your ass caught up. What's happen so far in the new series is great. Cranston directed the first episode of the new series as well. Its funny how ONE little Emmy win and now everyone is talking about it.
-
Gonna watch the priemere episode tonight. Anyone seen it yet?
-
It looks like the most uninteresting thing on TV.
-
You haven't read any Criminal yet? After Trans, that may just be my favorite series. And it's a great example of art perfectly blending with writing.
-
How goes, dude?
-
Damn. Well I'm going to blow past the last 5 episodes tonight and hopefully they'll have a marathon on AMC sometime soon so I can get caught up on Season 2.

Hey Winston. Whats happening around these parts?
by dannyglovers_dickblood
No AICN at work fucking blows.
-
Have no interest in that show whatsoever. Unless I hear very good things I'll probably never give it a chance.
-
God that show is hilarious. It's the best thing on TV when new episodes are on.I also got Let the Right One In. Bad subtitles or not, it's a great, great movie. They had Synecdoche, New York as well but it was 30 fucking dollars, so I says, "Fuck that shit." It just makes me wonder, why the extra ten dollars? It's just a movie.
-
I finally read Bad Dog #2 this evening over a nice shit. It was a lot better then the first one, the line "Something crawled up his ass, opened a small business, failed miserable with the recession, and killed itself." Almost had me falling off the crapper. As for Bango Tango, I've flipped through both issues, and nothing really peeked my interest. I'll give it a shot if they still have it at the shop tomorrow but you gotta read Marvel Apes when it comes out on Trade, or Air that just came on trade the other day.
-
Someones gotta pay for the roundtable blogger disscussion!

Even if I heard great things about Kings, I'd never watch it.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
That 20 minute promo at the movies they showed for 6 fucking months pissed me off. That leading guy is weak, and the overall look of it looks as dull as beige wallpaper. I give it one season. And then -- YOU'VE JUST BEEN ERASED.
-
Same exact shit happened to me. Except I was already at the checkout counter when I noticed the price tag and had to put it back. If I wasn't so lazy I'd go rent it.
-
Are you watching the DVD of season one? Because they did have a marathon of season one like a week ago. Its only three episodes in of season 2, I bet you can find episode 1 and 2 online and episode 3 airs again on Thursday. For my money Breaking Bad is the best thing in any form of media/entertainment right now.
-
So I've missed the 20. Also been going to a new independent like chain so they don't show anything except trailers before the show.
-
I'm tried of owning DVDs. No one I know wants to watch the same shit I got and I just got this pile of movies I'll probably never watch half of them again. But I did miss getting my Netflicks out on Saturday so I'm fucked on seeing Twilight or Bolt anytime soon. On netflix if you don't have a free spot the day before a movie comes out is goes on long ass wait. I'm STILL waiting for Pineapple Express and its been my number 1 selection for like 3 months.
-
Check out my story over on Marva's site. You seem like a guy who's got a couple of years of Mario under his belt.
-
I like Ian McShane alot but this project just seems wrong for him. And as far as how long it will last goes, you never know. It could end up like The West Wing or something. Some show that I've never seen, never will see, and that no person I'll ever meet has seen but that wins every single fucking Emmy every year.
-
Odo19 I'm starting Kings right now. So in two hours, you'll know of someone who watched the first 2 episodes.
-
Why is Slumdog coming out while it is still in the top ten movies? Striking while the iron is hot I see.
-
Mar 24, 2009 8:37:07 PM CDT
Mario. Amen. The only fucking game I understand.

-
I think Warners should do it with Watchmen. Put that shit out while its still in the fucking theater so all the non-readers that saw it and enjoyed it will still remember what the fuck it is.
-

Where is the Mario story on there? I don't see it.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
Under the Outlander Review. I was having a problem getting the first paragraph in with the picture, so it looks like just the picture on the front page. I'm not a full professional yet. ;)
-
Its called Star City, its more of a Toad story.
-
I remember watching this all the time in high school. This is an awesome commercial, never knew it was done by anyone famous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =1vj4jppqwkw
-
I definitely thought it was somehow related to that GD G-Force.
-
And I really like that movie too. I think its a bit underrated.
-
It was the end of the last day of the Heroes Aren't Hard to Find convention in Charlotte last summer, and Kirkman was like "Fuck, I'm not taking these home," and just let us grab whatever the hell I wanted. Got that entire series, as well as all the trades to "Battle Pope". Only read the first trade of "Dead" so far, though.
-
I can't remember if I read the book first or saw the movie. I know that I had the stupid movie book. But something I don't think I ever caught onto in the book was that the main two girls in the book were names Sara and Sarah, that was a stupid fucking choice for a stream of conscious novel. I did like the movie, a good book to movie adaptation.
-
That's pretty sweet that you got the free shit. I need more free comics. The closest I get to free stuff is during the comic stores twice a year big sale.
-
Check out my story over on Marva's site.
-
Having been a fan who's only been able to see a few episodes each season, I enjoyed it. Thought the battle was great. REALLY got excited seeing the troops fighting alongside Red Stripe Centurions. The flashbacks didn't do much for me, though (except for Baltar's, which only worked in relation to his final scene and his knowledge of farming), and maybe that's because I haven't been an avid watcher of the show. I liked that Caprica had an In-Head Baltar (dunno if that had already been presented), and I guess Kara was like a Christian Shepherd type from LOST or a Gandalf the White, sent back to complete a task. She didn't like her resolution either, from what I've heard. And again, since Jimi's version of "All Along the Watchtower" is one of my all-time favorite songs, I absolutely loved the last little montage featuring our emerging technologies on the AI/robotics front.
-
I'd never heard of it, but its free, so I grabbed it.
-
Right now I'm just catching up on posts before I run to bed. Look forward to reading it, though. I love a good video-game fan-fiction.
-
Has shown up before.
-
Dunno if it would have been better that way, for everyone, if we learned then that Caprica had an In-Head. It might make the Angels bit seem a bit stronger. Least it does for me. I thought it was a great reveal bc I'd never seen him before, and to have it revealed to the both of them, and us an as audience (or at least me), that Caprica was going through the same shit Gaius was, then it would cement the idea that "This is happening for a reason" by a power stronger than any of them.
-
That was the first time that both inheads revealed themselves at the same time. In past episodes both in heads talked to thier respective counterparts but never to both at the same time. Those scenes were cluttered and confusing. you had real six, real Baltar and then the in heads and other actors.
-
In the front seat of the bullet train down under, I'm actually sort of looking forward to a Seth Rogan movie. I must now go take a scalding hot shower with bleach to scrub off the shame.
-
Its sort of gimmicky. Trying too hard to be stylish. I don't give a fuck about anyone in that movie.
-
That is sort of the point of the book, that everyone is kind of a dick. Also they didn't play up the fact that James Van Der Beak is either American Psycho's cousin or brother I forget. The point of the book was that they were all dickheads who only cared about themselves. There is a whole pregnant storyline towards the end of the book. Like I said before I don't remember which girl he got preggo's because of the Sarah Sara idea, I think it was the Seventh Heaven girl though.
-
coming off of having my internet shut off due to roommate mismanagement, I've had very little desire to post in the TB's. but then I saw this TB was tops, so i popped in for a look and, wow, worlds away from the others!
And yes, Rules of Attraction is a mediocre film, as all Bret Easton Ellis adaptations seem to be. See also: Less Than Zero, American Psycho, and (from what I've heard, not having seen it) The Informers.
And hey, DGDB, haven't seen you in a while. How goes it? -
I've tried to read it now like 3 times, and I can't get far into it. Its SO ridonkulus with the nit picking, like everything he sees he just tears to shreds talking about how crappy this and that is. It just go annoying. I should give it another shot.
-
In teh book the Dawson was Patrick Bateman's younger brother. There was great passage in teh book where the younger Bateman had to deal with his brother over thier father's illness.Also the character that the Dawson knocks up is played by Shannon Sossamen in the movie.
-
My work IP is fucking blocked. So I'm not on much. All my juices are now dedicated to the Bale site. Have you checked it out?
-
Yes sir this TB is diffrent from most others at AICN. All sorts of subjects are covered including ocassionlly movies and TV. Most importantly it's done in a friendly manner without much dust ups that happen in other TB.Take a look around and try it on for size. If you like it roll on by again. A fresh Twitch will be up on Thursday.

Aintitbale or the talkback?How's it going Danny? It's been getting mighty quiet around these parts without you here during the day.
-
I know man. Sucks. I read it though....hehe. Frustrating just reading and not being able to chime in.
-
They may have episodes on their website. I am enjoying the first episode so far. Had to stop finishing it up right now. Watched the first half of Casino Royale tonight, didn't realize that the first action scene is like 25 minutes.
-
You read my Marvel Ultimatium for me paying my hard earned dough on Bango Tango? And better yet have you read my new story over on Marva's site?
-
I dig the name. I think just by flipping through I was expecting some crazier stuff. Kind of like Greatest Hits, flipped through not half as cool as the covers.
-
And really any other comic readers. This is my local comic shop's web site. I guess they just did a visit to Dimonds newest warehouse. Its an interesting little article. Give it a look see, tell your parents no biggie. http://www.speedingbulletcomics.com/ Tinyed http://tinyurl.com/djfoey
-
Hopefully they got a copy of Fan Four #558 I've been going crazy trying to find that damnit! And the trade the Amazing Mr. Amperduke, thanks to AICN for lodging it in my brain that I need to read that thing. Then finding out you can only order it from England! ENGLAND does anyone know how far away that is? Shit I don't think even Jarv can't fathom the distance. Besides, me seeking in comics from the store is easy, but ordering shit online and having it sent directly to the house the misses will catch and wonder where I got the money from, seeing that I can't chip in on the cable bill that I mainly use.
-
You know in Apatoe's new movie there is a heckler in the audience (its about Stand up comics) who's name is Danny??????? No, not really but wouldn't that be something.
-
I am a fucking terrible speller. Re reading my shit I realize that I sound fucking dumb.
-
Ok seriously, whats the fucking deal with actors getting two movies released in close proximity to each other? This mofo has Adventureland coming out in a week and a two year old movie called The Education of Charlie Banks comes out in limited form this week? I've been waiting for some time to see this movie. See I'm am a Limp Bizcuit fan for life, or so says the tattoo on my back, so I've been dying to see what my main man Freddie Durst can put onto celluloid, besides that lame kiddie girl football slasher flick he made. I've heard good things, but I didn't think that Adventureland is going to turn Jesse into a huge star like the distributors of Charlie Banks hope. I mean did any more people know who the fuck Justin Long was after Waiting came out? No shit no one knew his name till the Macrosoft commercials blew up.
-
Fucking amazing show. I love the way the last show ends, with Walt just now realizing the sort of people he's become involved with. I can't believe I almost passed this up to get an early start on my mid-term. I cant wait to start digging into Season 2.
-
Does anyone REALLY use this site? The first time I see anyone on this site that I know I am going to break either their cell phone/computer/laptop/dvd player/microwave/fireplace/front door/dog/toilet or whatever else you can use to check out the internet these days on the floor and punch them right in the gullet and tell them to stop being so lame.
-
You better go out and buy a hat, so you can get ready to hold the fuck onto it once you get into season 2. Seriously7 odo19 shouldn't everyone and Danny's mum be watching Breaking Bad? I mean its like the Mash of our generation. Plus PLUS how can you not just love seeing the Cran-man in whitie tighties (SPOILER: YOU GET A BUTT SHOT IN EPISODE 3 OF THE DEUCE!). If you are anything like me, which I hope you are because that would mean we have a lot to share, you've been following the Cran-Man's life since birth and after the biblical end of Malcolm in the Middle you wondered WELL Allah? What Next for Sir Ethan Brian Cranston? And then Budda gave you a blessing called Thank God Your There....only to find out that this blessing was only a horrible curse. A plague of sorts, and you thought that Cranberry Juice was never going to be seen from/heard from again. Luckily Rikishi had the forsight to make sure Cranapple was saved and brought on instead of someone else to bring the world together for one hour (will at least one hour between 9-11, it airs back to back)with the greatest show on Earth, Breaking Bad. This has been Series7, hope to see you on the upside.
-
Has a show called Secret's Out. And I am watching an episode about animation for a week or so back. He says that Home On the Range is a Hidden Gem in animation.......yeah Leonard Maltin has gone crazy with old age. I can't think of anyone besides Leonard Maltin who's seen Home On the Range. Whenever I see it I always think its some cheap Disney knock off. HAHAHAHA Malemen said that he took his daughter to see this film, I always thought that he was asexual.
-
has fucking 4 Oscars! That's three more then 3 6 Mafia! I mean I like Wallace & Gromit as much as the next pyromaniac but has anyone won as many Oscars for the same thing? That's a little trivia to tell your granddaughters.
-
Memoirs of a Geisha won three Oscars? I don't think even Leonard Maltin's seen that movie. Have you?
-
Everything you say is true. Except that thing about Mash. I never watched that show. Everything else is okay though. And I expect that we actually have alot in common. Not only do we agree on Breaking Bad but we also pimp the awesomeness that is Hellboy 2 any chance we get. I watched Malcolm in the Middle everyday at work for years so I am well versed in Cranstonolgy myself. Me and him go back even before that though. I saw him in a couple of episodes of Babylon 5 where I thought he was great. Anyway I'm going to be on the lookout for the next time the show is on and see if they are going to re-run the first couple of episodes anytime soon.
-
Was in Babylon 5, cool. I've never really watched that show. Like with Breaking Bad your like, OHHH MAN HE IS SOOO FUCKED! But he keeps getting out of it and it hasn't been unbelievable yet.
-
saw severance. liked it. naked hookers in a pit? how can you go wrong?
-
last night I watched 2 films- one of the last from the Donor pack (A bittersweet life) and Grizzly Man. Neither was exactly cheery, but ABL had some excellent ass kicking. Did not like Grizzly man- there was far too much American Beauty style "most beautiful thing I ever saw" art masturbation in it, and the dude was just such a complete wanker. Worth seeing, but fucking overrated as hell.
-
is a staggeringly awful book made into a deeply mediocre film that pretentious fucks like to wax lyrical about between masturbating to the anti-consumerist message in Fight Club. American Psycho is a staggeringly awful book made into an excellent film (through ditching a lot of the worst excesses of it). Ellis is a fucking hack.
-
that is all.
-
won for Creature Comforts, A close shave and The Wrong Trousers (Genius), I don't know if he won for Wererabbit or A grand day out, but he's got 3 for the same thing. KAtherine Hepburn got 4 for the same thing- faking not being a lesbo.
-
Funniest fucking moment in any Wallace and Grommit thing.
-
I've seen it and hate it. It's terrible, terrible shite. But the book was terrible, terrible shite. The film is at least pretty though.

Kicked the Asian season off with Infernal Affairs
by franklin t marmoset
Good film. Excellent film, actually, but it doesn't invalidate The Departed for me. I think I like them both, but the original is definitely better.The original, thank the lord, doesn't have that horribly contrived subplot about the two guys both fucking the same woman. That was awful.Morning, folks.

don't watch IA2. I've been thinking about this, and it's pants.

Mar 25, 2009 4:21:54 AM CDT
Jeez! Jarv's in a good mood this morning!
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Rules of Attraction was a good book made into a pretty good flick. American Psycho is a good book made into a good flick. Less Than Zero is a good book made into a fucking awesome flick with a brilliant coke-addled performance by Downey Jr.
I think it was Series7 commenting on the RoA book where it’s established that Sean is Patricks brother. In the flick there’s the scene where Sean answers the phone and doesn’t know who is on the other end of the line and says ‘Who is this? Patrick?’ or somesuch. I will agree that RoA is quite gimmicky, especially the scene showing the two simultaneous shots that come together at the end. But the Victor’s euro tour scene is great. Ellis is far from a hack.
-
Mar 25, 2009 4:22:17 AM CDT
Haven’t seen Memoirs of a Geisha.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Not particularly interested.
-
I don’t get the amount of vitriol Rogan generates. For fucks sake people, transfer that energy into something useful. Or onto Julia Roberts!
-
Chicken Run is the best thing he’s done. It’s awesome.
-
It’s a fairly entertaining diversion.
-
full stop. Both book and film. RoA is a wretchedly bad book. American Psycho is a bad book (I was being harsh on it)that's dramatically better than everything else he's ever written. American Psycho is a good film. RoA is a mediocre gimmick-fest and Less Than Zero is a steaming sack of crap with (to be fair) a great performance from Downey. It's horrible let down by everyone else in the cast. Spader even looks like he's thinking about lunch on a few occasions.
-
I like Ellis (for the most part), haven't seen Geisha, and for the life of me I don't understand why people get so pissy about Seth Rogen.And we are very proud of Aardman Animation here in Bristol. We don't have a huge amount to be proud of, so we have to latch onto Aardman and Massive Attack as tightly as we can.I went out with a girl who worked at Aardman for a while. She said Nick Park was very nice. That's not the best story I've ever told, but give me a break it's early.
-
that with the exception of Less Than Zero (which I only saw last year for the first time) I haven't gone near anything by Ellis since RoA was released and I was tricked into that by American Psycho not sucking. I haven't read any of the books in, christ, 10 years or so.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Because I competely disagree with everything you just said. Except for when you agreed with my previous comments! I completely agree with those.
-
Mar 25, 2009 4:36:25 AM CDT
And I really don't think the term 'hack'...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
can be used in regards to a writer like Ellis. Like him or not, he's not a 'hack'. Dan Brown what you would classify as a 'hack'.
-
Rules of Attraction is a fucking gimmickfest of a book- it's written in split first person narrative, but so poorley written that all the narrators are not only hugely unlikable, but also completely indistinguishable (apart from when they say who they're shagging). It's crass, juvenile, adolescent shite that's only worth reading for Dawson's nasty sex scene on page 82ish. But you can buy porn if that's your thing. It's plotless, has zero character development, no consistent theme, and not one single idea that could remotely be called complete. It's a bad book- the gimmick disguises (for a bit) the crapness. Less Than Zero I barely remember, but American Psycho is also mediocre to bad. It's light years ahead of RoA (which isn't saying much) but suffers from the fact that Ellis can't write dialogue or characters that aren't narrating. There's passages of it that are just excrutiating (them all arguing over a whole fucking chapter about where to go for dinner- they all sound identical, and it's not interesting in the slightest). They did a stellar job of incorporating Bateman's monologues into the film. I will give that Patrick Bateman is a complete character and a distinctive voice. What is unnecessary is the graphic, psuedo porny sex that goes on for pages and fucking pages- and that's before the slaughter. It's not even inventive or well written. Nowt wrong with a bit of sex in a book (my 16 year old dissertation writing self was most appreciative of it), but there is a line when sensationalism is used as a substitute for writing. American Psycho crosses it. There is some serious fucking revisionism going on about this book- it's by far the best of his efforts that I've read, but it ain't good.
-
that was unfair. He's a grossly overrated fuckhead that at least tries different things. Even if he's massively incapable of doing them.
-
he's the very model of an airport fiction writing hack that got astronomically lucky. It's not even a good book for fuck's sake.
-
Fucking Dan Brown. I struggled all the way through that fucking DaVinci Code book and hated every single second of it. I only made it to the end because of my stubborn desire to be fully informed when I argued with every idiot who went on about what a great book it was.And I think Ellis is just not for everyone. His books can be a trial sometimes - the way he uses repetition to make his point can get annoying - but I really like American Psycho a lot. That book is very funny. Nasty in places, but also very funny.
-
He's one of those guys that I really like for absolutely no reason at all. He always seems to play the same character. Although he was good in Secretary (the only flick where I've ever wanted to bang Maggie "Droopy Dog" Gyllanhall). Maybe it's because of Stargate. Or Supernova!
-
The characters all being indistinguishable, and Bateman's ridculous obsession with surface details - I always thought that was the whole point of the book.Maybe I'm wrong, but my interpretation of American Psycho was that this guy (Bateman) was so utterly shallow and focused on fitting in with his equally shallow friends that he had no real soul of his own. That's my take, anyway.
-
I don't know if anyone's seen it, but Spader is great in The Music Of Chance, which is an adaptation of one of my favourite Paul Auster novels.He usually plays slick yuppie asshole types, but he's very different in that film.
-

Wasn't that part of the point in RoA?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That they all sound the same? It's the same thing as in American Psycho that almost every character is interchangeable. The only easily identifiable character was the secretary. Bateman is always getting mistaken for some other identical wall street banker because it was part of the point that they're soulless clones. I agree with Frankie that Ellis just isn't for everyone.
-
He said it better.
-
Spader was in that wasn't he? That was pretty good. If completely unrealistic!
-
that I can't remember the name of- where he was a language expert cracking Alien code in a BLATANT thing rip off. It was shit and I turned it off.
-
If he did that. Then great, but are you honestly trying to tell me that Bateman is meant to sound like taxi drivers, waitresses, junkies and every other fucker that utters a line in the novel? I get that he's meant to be just 1 of many but Ellis failed by not distinguishing the many from the rest of the heard. As for ROA- Each character was a one trick pony- Sarah= sensitive and intelligent, Dawson (can't remember his real name)= disillusioned and sarky, Paul= gay. I refuse to believe that they were meant to be the same character. That's just poor writing. Fucking hate that book.

Alien Hunter (according to Wiki)
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Never seen it. What about The Watcher? Geez what a fucking awful flick that was.
-
It's not only a Thing ripoff, they actually use the SAME FOOTAGE of the Norwegian team working on the ice at one point.
Awful. -
Is that the one with Keanu Reeves as a serial killer?If it is, that's a terrbile film.
-
I did make it thru his book but it wasn't all that--moves right along, takes you w/ you, but you wind up digging out the waders and then some for most of it. Ooooo the Merovingians-bunch of inbred, short lived, illiterate nasty assed fueding GOOBERS if there ever were any...Ummm, yeah. Knew there wasn't anything good w/ that.
-
Because at no time during AP did I mistake Bateman for a fucking taxi driver etc.
-
And it takes you w/ it. Gah! it's a Humpday mornin. It's the PaZoozoo! How is life in Sveden?
-
What the hell is wrong with me?
-
I usually like him. I always thought he would have been better as Charlie Sheens character in Wallstreet.
-
Mar 25, 2009 5:11:51 AM CDT
Yeah, I'm like that as well Frankie
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But the thing is I track down these flicks then never watch them. Dawson vs Squid for example. Loved the idea of watching it, but couldn't bring myself to press play.
-
Tonight there be Dead Snow on me DVD player.
-
because I should looking at what I usually like.
-
It's not even entertaining. Nice production values, but really rather dull.
-
honestly, Mrs. Jarv got it free from the gym and it's the only film of 2009 that hasn't made the list because I turned it off half way through. It's staggeringly bad. And not in a good way. I will admit that I haven't even looked at anything he's written since 1996, so my memory could be well be playing up. I picked AP to write about for my A level English dissertation (along with The Wasp Factory and Clockwork Orange), so read it a lot at the time. But that was 13 years ago.
-
Mar 25, 2009 5:19:47 AM CDT
I remember watching a STV flick a few years ago...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
that had the car chase scene from Species spliced in between reaction shots from the z-grade actors. Don't ask me how I immediately knew it was from Species. Let's just say that in my formative years Natasha Henstridge was an important person in my life.
-
I keep expecting some tool at Channel 4 to think filming this would be a good idea. It wouldn't.
-
and it's Errol Flynn!

Man, the venting was on FIRE last night.

I did start reading The Informers
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But I put it down one day and never bothered to pick it up again. I did read American Psycho when I was in New York so it benifited greatly from that. Also picked up Less Than Zero for a buck on a NY street corner which i read on my way to Boston. Funny how things like that can influence your opinion.
-
Mar 25, 2009 5:26:39 AM CDT
I'd have to give it a rewatch, jarv
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But I burnt myself (and my vhs player) out on it back in the day.
-
was dumbhouse. But still good. Never saw Species 3.
-
Never seen 3 either.
-
Also, it's not Asian, so it's out of contention for the time being.The only way I'll watch a non-Asian film over the next couple of weeks is if it has the hot brunette out of Blade: The Series in it. Or possibly Lauren Graham. Either option seems fine to me.
-
when the 2 Aliens are doing the nasty and whatshername from CSI keeps trying to get Sil to assert her human side and help them. It's hilarious.
-
--MASTADON---you gotta hate it-

How did the alien get to earth again?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Did it infect an astronaut or something stupid like that? I feel a Species-thon coming on!
-
But when I went to watch it, I got an hour or so of football instead.Fucking football. How dare a sport rob me of some potential Dumbhouse entertainment.
-
to have flawless DNA. They opened something, all of them got infected, but 2 of them had asthma or something and got killed. Genius. No logic flaws there whatsoever.
-
I can watch that thing a million times. So rampantly stupid and gleefully wallowing in its own crapitude. I gotta respect that.
-
That's the one where Forrest Whitaker's "psychic" staggers around a blood-spattered room in a trance saying something like "Oooh, something bad happened here."
Hilarious. -
all of it. The leaps of logic are immense and hilarious.

looks at the photo of her and the mug taken at dinner "She liked him". You don't say.
-
I know that look. I've seen it on a thousand geek faces. You're all "well, maybe I'll give it a pass then..." and as soon as we turn our backs, BAM! -- You're watching Alien Hunter.
Walk away. Just. Walk. Away. -
hahahaha!
No mind is too opaque for Captain Psychic. -
so maybe.
-
I am going to go ahead and assume that was said in the voice of the Lord Humongous (the ayatolla of rock and rolla!) and heed your advice, Dr P.I do not want to be harrassed by a caravan of crazed guys with mohicans and American football pads every time I leave the house. No bad film is worth that.
-
not only will it make you hate James Spader, but it also put me off The Thing a wee bit, which is terrible.
-
Captain Obvious in their crack "Z-Team". When they walk into the bathroom to find the dead guy who had the back of his head put out, Alfred Molina says something like "This wasn't a successful coupling". Genius.

when Ben Kingsley freezes and won't let them out of the incineration chamber.... Acting, ben, Acting.

'you know it was a predator cause its eyes were at the front of its head' - what, like PEOPLE!? ya DUMBASS

From Prosser about PWZ: "Hahahahah! I see this argument time and time again. You want realism and humanity than you have your 2004 Cryisher with Suckolta to watch, yes that's right you want your legitimate "exploration of character" then you have this movie, so spread it nicely and slowly on your toast and eat it humbly the fuck up fanboys with a glass of warm milk, and ask for seconds. As for me i'll have the movie where he is the owner and manager and only customer of a Costco that only sells bodybags and large machineguns. That's the reason this movie was made , loads of fucking ACTION pumped into your quivering anal cavities and not stupid popsickle torture (why didnt he, oh you know, actually torture?), and no goofy neighbors, no crying about what happened, worst of all no boredom. The only appeal of this guy is he kills and shoots badguys, the prototypical vigilante, and this movie along with the Dolph Lundgren one are true to that spirit." Funny. Now I realy want to see it.
-
generally like seth rogan
-
Sean Connery: Never Say Never Again. Roger Moore: That shitfest Moonraker Pierce Brosnan- only good one is Goldeneye, but Die Another Day is a candidate for worst of the series. Lazenby, Craig and Dalton don't count, because they don't have enough. This isn't relevant, but I thought it was far too interesting a debate to be having on Harry's DVD page.
-
it's paradise:http://preview.tinyurl.com/2turx3
-
oh. my. fucking. god. Why didn't we call you up sooner? Fuck me, I bet you could have saved the world hundreds of times with a "power" like that one.
-
Whichever one that has Michelle Yeoh in it fucking sucks. Die Another Day at least was entertaining in a dumbhouse way. I was bored shitless by that the other one. The World is not enough? Or is that the one with the Wild Things chick? That was pretty fucking shit as well.
-
and say 'the anderson tapes' staring one sean conery (you may have heard of him) is the worst movie ever. it is shitest fucking shitfest i have ever shat on. avoid like the plauge.
-
was utter shite, but it's tomorrow never dies that has Michelle Yeoh in it. All the Brosnan ones aside from Goldeneye suck balls. DAD is the worst because it has madonna in it. That's a capital offence.
-
I'm unshakeable in my hatred for it
-
and forest gump.
-
the greatest man alive. and remember: be cool.
-
Quite entertaining. I'm not sure if I've classified my worst film ever, but the three flicks I loathed beyond question while watching them are Spawn, GI Jane and Hannibal. Two are by Ridley Scott. I hated him for a long time after that.
-
I don't like TND,WINE,DAD. The Gump sucks.
-
It's the only movie I ever walked out of .
-
when Madsen takes a pimp and just shoves him across the street and the camera follows him away from Madsen and co, until he slams into a van.Then it cuts away.
-
Did you ever get around to seeing it, Jarv?It's a mind-boggingly awful failure on every possible level. Easily the worst film I've ever seen. Worse, even, than In The Name Of The King.Strangely, I'm very much looking forward to seeing Richard Kelly's extra-long, extra-indulgent, extra-stupid cut of the film. That is bound to be some heavyweight shit right there.
-
it was a pimp in a wheelchair. What a piece of garbage movie. And it was filmed right here in our wonderful Baltimore. So. Proud.
I remember that the talk was the Species sequel would be far more psychological than the first. Congrats guys. Nothing says psychological like exploding hookers. James Cromwell and Peter Boyle, why did you do this? -
Mar 25, 2009 6:56:03 AM CDT
Yeah, Southland Tales is fucking godawful
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And makes zero sense. Whats worst is that it's infuriatingly bad because he obviously had a shitload of cash and obviously had zero fucking clue what he was doing. If The Box or whatever its called is a similar failure, Kellys career is over.
-
What a puny plan.
-
a really bad fanboy dream. Like you eat too much fried chicken, pizza, and Nerds and then wash it down with a Red Bull while flipping through late night cable and then you have a dream that somehow, beyond all sense, Fazini from Princess Bride, Tangina from Poltergeist and the f***in Highlander all ended up in a movie where Buffy is boning a wrestler and half the cast of Saturday Night Live is tooling around with Stifler in a floating ice cream truck. And you wake up and think, Whats wrong with me? That wasnt even close to sometihng that could ever be a movie, and then you see the dvd case for Southland sitting by the bed.
-
Apart from Casino Royale, I don't really like any of them. Never did, really. The main character is an irredeemable cunt, the stories are stupid, and the actor generally regarded as the highpoint is Sean Connery. Sean Connery!You know how Danny sometimes goes on about Ed Harris being a prick in everything? That's how I feel about Sean Connery. He seems like he's probably a Grade-A prick in real life and he's not a good enough actor to cover it up in every single film he's ever been in. Even when he's trying to be a nice guy, I always think: "This guy is just pretending to be nice. Underneath it all, I bet that guy is a right prick."Also, I have tried to watch Goldeneye twice and fallen asleep both times. Good game, though.
-
It's like they rebooted Tom Hanks.Weird.
-
Seen Orange County and i think he was in King Kong. Both with Jack Black.
-
Worst movie ever goes to Blindness. My rectum is starting to twitch again just thinking of it.The last three Brosnan Bond's were garbage.I hope you weren't surprised that A Bittersweet Life was depressing, Jarv. When Koreans storyboard a movie they always start with the closing image "Hero Dies" and work their way back from there. Loved that shootout in the club.Somebody in accounting was escorted out of the building by police yesterday. Right now the embezzlement figure sits at $150,000 and counting. You have to love corporate oversight.
-
blows. Awful film.
-
rocks. great film.
-
Mrs. Jarv was- I gave her a funny look and reminded her that she'd seen Daisy not so long ago.
-
in my Outlander review. Has anyone seen Yor: Hunter from the Future? It makes Hawk the Slayer look like Fellowship of the Rings
-
Great two hour flick buried under the bloated, rotting corpse of self-indulgence.
-
Yor and his theme song...You guys got to see this..
http://www.youtube.com/watchv=Q39f4YzK6sU -
I used to watch this crap repeatedly as a child. It was hilarious.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtpXR8ijTEU&feature=related -
Although I would probably go: "Great ninety minute flick buried under the bloated, rotting corpse of self-indulgence."That film is Peter Jackson's hangover from Lord Of The Rings.
-
top film- ice dancing kong, the fact that it's about 120 million years long, Adrien Brody, Stupid crap on ship. That's a great film.
-
Yor's World! Yor is the man!
-
funnily enough. Great 90 minute film smothered by a fat bastard
-
Lovefilm are denying that it exists. Again.
-
knew you would come around.
-
best Elf ever on film. Not to mention Jack Palance as "The Dark One" chewing scenery is golden.
-
But King Kong, and Harry's latest DVD column, are 90% too long.
-
you need to go there. The whole movie is on there. The first section has him kill a triceratops with his bare hands and then scream at the top of his lungs.
Here, this section has the opening theme song and the first few minutes. Pillow has to see this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukrd6ZEPhNg&NR=1 -
I saw the original 90 minute film, and even THAT felt too long.
-
IS Hawk the Slayer. Top notch there.
-
Type in 'Spoony' and 'Yor Review' into Youtube. Hilarious.
-
Don't listen to these - watch Alien Hunter. Brilliant. Carl Lewis is in it. It's crap. Fantastic.
-
All this job worry, coupled with the very enjoyable two weeks of loaf, have made think that living life like The Dude is the way forward.No job, wandering about in a bath roba all day, listening to Creedence and Bob, getting high and/or drunk, getting in adventures with my beligerent friend... that seems pretty damn good to me.I would have to replace bowling with something else, but that's easy enough. The real trick is figuring out where he gets his money. Once I have that part nailed down, I reckon it's the middle-aged stoner bum life for me.
-
the central problem with it, is that it isn't a love story (despite what Jackson thinks), it's a film about a fucking big monkey that runs amok. This means that I don't want to see an hour and a half of fucking around before you get to the Island. I don't want to see the monkey gazing at the blond girl while tugging at his naughty place, or ice skating like on a fucking date. IT'S A FILM ABOUT A GIANT MONKEY, Jackson you cunt.
-
Is the same as Transformers. The robots/Monkey are BORING and seeing them destroy things for 90 minutes would be boring... but the human characters they add suck.
-
But that rotoscoping or whatever it's called that Jackson loves so much was a horrible effect and the scene with the giant bugs devouring the crew was too much. Cut about 30 minutes out and you have a very good film.So is falling asleep during a movie and waking up during hte credits the same as walking out? I've only ever walked out of one movie but fallen asleep 10 minutes in during plenty of films.
-
was twofold- piss poor idiotic unfunny script & dreadful unnecessary "human" story. Similar to AvP:Rectum, actually.
-
If you didn't see last night's post - thanks very much for the movies, they arrived yesterday. Can't believe I've got OUTLANDER! You're a star.
-
honestly, by the time they even make it to the fucking island I'd lost the will to live.

If I didn't have to work due to unlimited resources
by hawaiian organ donor
I'd still have to find a hobby. Gardening, masterbating like a dolphin, heckling highly paid executives, drinking ipecac on crowded street corners.
-
Get to the island in 10 minutes. Cut out that horrendous bronto stampede scene, know if you're making a horror film or family fantasy (ie. that bug scene was fucking brutal. Especially the way Serkis goes), 45 minutes tops on the island, get back to NY in 5-10 minutes, show the amazing ape, let him loose, kill him, the end. Two hours tops.
-
a flat above a restaurant, but near to a park. I'd throw eggs/ rocks/ knives at highly paid bankers at the moment. But my real hobby would be: Plotting the revolution.
-
cut Kong down to 90 minutes and it rocks. Cut Transformers down to a minute and 30 seconds(i.e. the trailer) and it sort of doesnt suck.
-
I understood you have some left from the first kit to watch, but I wanted to get Outlander and TGTBTW into your hands ASAP. So watch both of those this weekend if you can so we can have a lively discussion on Monday.
-
Get out of New York90 mins.
-
Will do, HOD.
-
All i would change is cutting Anthony Anderson completely out of the movie. Not many people are less funny than that dick. And I'd have Megan Fox more naked. Other than that I get everything I want from a flick about giant alien robots who shapeshift into near-extinct american made sports cars.
-
Now that I have a place of my own I'd do it everyday if I could. It's the only time I don't feel like stuffing the world into a sack full of kittens and repeatedly kicking it before tossing it onto a minefield.But I'm with you, Jarv. Viva la revolucion!
-
Get out of NY- Less than 10 mins (includes opening credits)Get to Island- Less than 10 mins. 45 mins tops on Island, including cutting stupid stampede shit. Get back to New York- no more than 1 min. And I'm not joking. Let fucking big monkey run amok 30 mins. End. Good film- 96mins.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Mighty Joe Young. Virtually the same fucking thing in half the time and with an ultra-fuckable Charlize Theron to ogle. And Bill Paxton. From the director of Tremors.

I would also cultivate a frighteningly large beard, learn tai chi and the electric guitar (but not at the same time), and most likely start a Lauren Graham fansite that would get me slapped with restraining order in double quick time.

I can't be expected to wait until 2010 for The Expendables. That is simply too long. Doesn't Sylvester Stallone know I have the patience of Homer Simpson?"But I want it nooooooow!"This is like Outlander all over again. I swear I've been waiting to see Outlander since several years before I was born.

is when it starts to go for me, and our computers are garbage, so I'm surprised

Anyway, Charlize Theron was particularly good as Britt Ekland in that Peter Sellers biopic.

I need a new fucking job pronto. That's the second time I've nearly got my ass fired for an admin fuckup. I clearly suck at admin.
-
well, not entirely. It is (sadly) my responsibility though. Probably have, but I won't know until I get home.

I need some rum and a cigar to think straight.

hate formal enquiries. Especially when I'm likely to be held to account.
-
You just have to make sure you stay sitting down. You know, don't get up and go to the printer for a while...
-
and none of them are worth drooling over anyway.
-
For a phone call scene. Either it didn't happen, or it did and it got cut. I can't remember if Bale's schedule got in the way, or if the studio that did American Psycho wouldn't allow it to happen.
-
If I were to get fired for an admin error, I would get fired every day. Admin errors are what we're best at here, which possibly explains why this company is going down the shitter.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
The WTWTA trailer premiering on the fucking Ellen tv show and Beaufoy writing Wolverine 2. At the very least, the 'not knowing what Wolvering is' bit. Like a fucking Hollywood screenwriter doesn't know what Wolverine and Xmen are. Bullshit and an insult for them to try to pass them off as news.

A week later they announced company downsizing so we figured they just screwed us so they wouldn't have to pay out compensation.

That's crazy talk, Xiphos.If your film does not feature The Rock making strange googly eyes and wiggling his fingers about and end with Stifler in a flying ice cream van, it is officially not the worst film ever.I believe that is a scientific fact.
-
No worries mate. Haven't watched TGTBTW yet. Might do so tonight. I know it sounds stupid but the subtitles kill me sometimes. Quite often I like to do something while I'm watching a flick, but with subs it means I have to concentrate on the screen all the time. So I tend to forgo foreign language flicks too often. I will watch it soon though. Maybe I'll force myself to watch it tonight. If I don't go see Knowing, which is out here now.

Where he digs a GINORMOUS pit (by himself and one other, without shovels, and done quickly), fills it with wooden spikes, and then covers the whole thing in moss and grass. He then baits all the vikings to come after him by throwing a severed viking head at them. But before the vikings can charge up the hill after Urban, all the Native American warriors from his tribe, who've been off somewhere else the whole movie on their Pathfinding trip, come charging up behind Urban and- you guessed it- they all fall into the pit, impaling themselves on spikes, making it easy for the vikings to come in and finish slaughtering them. Our hero was just responsible for wiping out his entire tribe's best hunters, warriors, and trackers. And does it affect him? Does it change his character for the better or the worse? Does it impact the story in some meaningful way? Pssssh, naaaah...

horseshit propaganda of The Gump. It's evil and must be stopped. SPR sucks balls as well, though.

that fucking movie was made by half wits with a sick fucking WW fetish.1. Tom Hanks, he was about as wrong in his role as two dudes fucking in church during the sermon. Nuff said there.They gave away the fact that hydrosyphalic head Damon survived during that sickingly sweet cloying wrap around at the beginning. The old man was wearing a 101st Airborne(at the time now they are "air assault") Division pin.3. How can a two hour plus movie not have any characters? It was fullof fucking lame archtypes/sterotypes? It was allegeedly a big budget hollywood movie made by people with reported ability, how come nobody picked up on this?look past the amphibious assault at the beginning which was good, there was nothing else in that emperor's new clothes of a movie. Don't fall for the bait and switch people. you are all smarter then that...at last I thought YOU are. Jarv you're alright.
-
to be fair, is picaresque satire- and quite good. The film is loathsome pro-American dream propaganda.
-
She just wanted what was best for young Forrest.
-
Robin Wright's character was what confused me about that film. Because she's not a non-conformist character at all - she conforms to whatever hair-brained fad comes along next. Then gets Aids.I was never sure if that was a flaw in the writing or a point they were trying to make.Shit, I had decided to not to think about this stuff. Damn you, Jarv!
-
very fucking funny.
-
was a travelogue of recent american history. It's exactly the same as Blood Diamond, which I loathe, which obviously set out with an agenda to illustrate all the ills of Africa instead of a screenplay that put story first and message second. Plus DiCaprios accent annoyed the fuck out of me.
-
for her fucking mongoloid spawn?
-
I liked Tom Hanks (something I rarely do) who worked perfectly well in that role - a teacher who got dragged into being a soldier.Most of us are not sufficiently well versed in militaria to notice that badge thing, plus they mislead you into thinking he's Tom Hanks anyway.And there are lots of characters. Barry Pepper is good. That guy who played Chandler's crazy room mate on Friends was good, plus the bit where he gets stabbed while the guy goes 'Shhhhhh!' is disturbing as hell. And there's that guy who's on Lost now. The cowardly one who wants to be writer.And what the fuck is with people ragging on Matt Damon? What did he do wrong?Shit, it's too late in the day for this.
-
Forrest Gump was a fucking pushy message piece about the rights of the American dream and don't think for yourself etc. And that's before I even get on to the structural flaws of it. You know what, I'm going to go and dig up that thesis on Gump being evil and post it here.

For doing what she needed to get him a quality education?

If it meant getting your slobbering, halfwit spawn into 'regular school'.
-
I remember him writing up a good piece on why it was a bad movie. I remember disagreeing with him for the most part, though.
-
The Gump screenplay just put the necessary characters in required situations to show "important" parts of recent american history. And it did it cleverly. Unlike Blood Diamond. Not once did I believe any of the bullshit your spouting.

but I make no bones about being an amoral slut.

No it didn't- it put the characters (for want of a better word)
by lost jarv
short of "cunts being filmed" in positions that show that provided they conform/ abjugate themselves to a higher power (America) then they'll be rich and successful. It's rotten. and, yes- Gump's mother was a whore. She took a service in exchange for sexual favours. That's prostitution, but it's alright when it helps produce a functioning American. Awful.

by hawaiian organ donor
Jarv hates Tom Hanks and I'm pretty sure Xiphos hates both Hanks AND Matt Damon.Xiphos could receive royalty checks for SPR for the rest of his life and he'd still hate it.Jarv could get a lapdance from Monica Belluci everytime he put in Forrest Gump and it would still be at the top of his shitlist.There's no wavering on this point so it's best to put your hands in your pockets and whistle as you walk away.

So by that reasoning you think that...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
a halfwit is portrayed as a model of conformity and the result of that conformity is riches. What I saw was a fucking retard who bares witness to many significant moments in recent american history. I saw a fucking travelogue of a period in history. Who the fuck walks out of the theatre thinking that if they too are a moron, they will also become rich? Completely ridiculous.
-
I think your shallow reading of it is ridiculous. It's evil and everyone involved needs to be horsewhipped with barbed wire,
-
that goes out of it's way to punish individual thought. Gump is successful BECAUSE he's a retard- he literally can't think for himself. Awful shite.
-
wanted to bestow sexual favours on me, but only if Gump was on in the background, I'd have to accept. It would be very much against my will though. May even qualify as molestation. The film would still be shite though.
-
It's just that I dislike a lot of his movies since he won the first Oscar. Every single Tom Hanks movie became Tom Hanks starring in The Tom Hanks production of "Tom Hanks" written and directed by Tom Hanks, starring Tom HanksI fucking love Bachelor Party. I enjoy the shit out of Joe vs The Volcano, Splash and Volunteers. On the other hand, SPR, Phillidelphia, Lone wolf and Cub, The volleyball movie, and just about everything else is varying degree of suck.I don't mind Damon and his unaturally large mellon, he's okay.Frank, sure lot's of people would not recognize the pin on the old mans wind breaker as 101st Division patch, but a whole lot of people would.Also Tom Hanks fucking SUCKED in that role. That fat lazy cock head couldn't be botherd to go to the 4th RTB movie version of Ranger School like all the other fuck wits from that shit pile movie. maybe if he did he would not have looked like a fat dough boy and would not have held his rifle like it was an ax handle. Oh lord did he fucking blow as a Ranger Platoon commander. fuck him and the beard. fuck them up thier smaltzy fetishic asses. Oh so you want to get involved in characters huh? Which one? The relgious southern sniper that was conflicted about his skill? The tough but heart of gold Italian kid from Brooklyn NYC? How about the Jew out to prove something? Those aren't characters those are fucking sterotypes.Why couldn't the Jew be the sniper? Why does Vin diesel have to be the "Brooklyn" character straight out of central casting from every WW2 flick made in the 40's and 50's. SPR should have every print burned and the masters destroyed. It's an insulting fucking mess of a movie. The beard should be forced to back the admission price to the theaters to everybody forced to indure SPR. Or at least me. I demand 10 million dollars in repartions.

I'm tempted to sue those Aintitbale cunts for nicking the changian shtick- if it wasn't for the fact that almost everyone involved is Changian and was part of the original scripture writing. And it's really funnyCheeky blighters

by hawaiian organ donor
I plan to use it to incite violence and anarchy against the powers that be until the streets run red. Either that or I'll just make a colossal jackass of myself.
-
I'm trying to work out whether Baleism falls under Changian credo or if it's some sort of dangerous sect. I suspect both.
-
except I quite like Big. When Hungover. I think I like almost everything he did pre Philadelphia (which is a festering mound of ass cheese)
-
He should have been blown yp during the beach assault. By blown up I mean actually blown up. They should have had him run across a preasure mine. BOOM no more eddie burns.
-
SPR= AssCastaway= Ass The Terminal= ASs Davinci turd= Ass Gump= Ass Ladykillers= Ass, and he should make a pilgrimage to the grave of Alec guinness and apologiseRoad to Perdition= boring ass Catch Me= Ass Appolo 13= Ass No. I do not like him
-
and nick that stuff for the Book of Bale.
-
Is perfect.
-
That was a good one also. Yeah Hanks was good pre-Phill-we want an oscar-delphia.
-
She's The One= Quite good. Confidence= Quite good. NEither of them were good because of him- he's just co-incidentally in 2 quite good films. And I want to fuck whatsehrname in Confidence, especially after she dyes herself ginger.
-
the only way it would have been worse would be if it had Hanks in a gorilla suit.
-
I tend to think that anyone that's been involved in that needs fisting in the ass by Tiny Lister when he's got a fistful of rusty nails.
-
I agree except for Catch Me if you Can. That one was alright.
-
Ed burns has a cunty CV. He should rename himself Dick burns. Fucking 27 dresses.
-
But hate Polar Express. I think my Hanks threshold is very low. He just looks smug and I can't forgive him for either Sleepless in Seattle or You've Got Mail. Sleepless in Seattle is one of the biggest shitheaps I've ever seen. I'd rather watch that trite garbage Love Story than that.
-
For Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, and A Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit lost out to Nick Park's Creature Comforts.
-
that movie was actually decent. Bart Giamatti's kid and Luis Guzman were good in it. Which isn't saying much those two are good in everything they are in.
-
The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek, Part II (1985)The Bat People (1974)Fist of Fear, Touch of Death (1980)Outlaw of Gor (1989)- Jack Palance again!
-
Hobgoblins (1988)Fire Maidens from Outer Space (1956)The Astro-Zombies (1968)I think morons vote on that list
-
Because he produced Where the Wild Things Are, and that movie looks so good. Spike Jones will show comic movies how to direct an adaptation.
-
I liked him in 15 minutes, though I think I'm the only one that liked that movie.
-
I've never seen you've got mail or Sleepless in Seattle. i bet Danny's pulling out his hair right about now. He likes you've got mail if i remember correctly. Damn that work IP block of his.Isn't the first toy Story pre Hanks winning an Oscar?Tom, brohiem, WTF happened to you? You made some good, fun and entertaining movies in the past. Plus your TV show, Bosom Buddies, rocked.(when I was like 12)
-
God a hate that movie, I don't get why every loves it? Its so boring and lame.
-
Toy Story is the best movie ever made, and a large part of that is due to Tom Hanks. Though I am not the biggest fan of Toy Story 2, and wonder what Toy Story 3-D could really add.
-
How did I miss that? Did it have all the slave girl sex? Because when I read those books at 14 it was mighty handy, if you know what I mean.
-
Everyone went to the army training program EXCEPT DAMON. Hanks was included in that.
-
Let's see what he says...
-
Hanks showed up at Benning one day, stood around to "experience" the training, talked to some Ranger officers and had lunch with the Ranger instructors and students at the 4th RTB.
-
Cause every bit of info I can find on the net about it says that Hanks was there training?
-
Apparently they covered Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy", which is fitting considering Gnarls covered the Femmes "Gone, Daddy, Gone" on their first album.
-
There's also the fact that he couldn't give two shits if he's successful or not. For it to be progaganda it has to be something the protagonist wants. Therefore you want. If its subversive theme is for everyone to conform then every cunt in america would be vying for that enviable seat on a fucking swinging chair on the porch. Anyone can make a case for anything if they slant their opinion one way or the other. Thats all debates are. And thats what you're doing because Gump obviously hit a nerve with you for some reason. I find it absolutely innocuous, harmless entertainment that i can sit through. It's not a great flick by any stretch of the imagination but it's certainly not the devil incarnate as you're implying. I can't believe I've just debated wether or not Forrest Fucking Gump is mysognistic propaganda.

The kid from Joushua was in Wondershowzen.
-
Has a GREAT use of an Arcade Fire song. I think its a pretty fantastic trailer.
-
Seriously, it's almost hypnotic. I can't stop watching it. XI, you really think it looks "meh"?
-
a guy I knew was part of the training brigrade but not at the 4th. He was told by others at the 4th who witnessed it, they were all kinda bent out of shape over teh whole deal. The studio PR flacks obscured the real story and the "entertainment press" lapped it up like the good little cock suckers they are.here's teh real proof, if Hanks had spent the two weeks at movie Ranger School he would not have looked like a fat doughy pansy. Even the wussed up DEA/Hollywood version of Ranger School would have made him shed the pounds.
-
I haven't watched the new trailer yet.
-
it's odd, but refreshing. It honestly looks like a real world version of the book, not some goofy "kids" movie based on the book.
-
Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see wait Wes does with the Fantastic Mr. Fox. The Wild Things remind me of the big evil things from Fraggle Rock.
-
I just don't get the hate for some actors. Ed Burns gave us She's The One, Sidewalks of New York, Confidence and the good but not great Groomsmen. Yes he's done some crapfests but even Kurt Russell has more crap movies on his resume than good ones. Ain't no man perfect.And with that I'm off to meet the new CFO who's bound to further run my company into the ground.
-
The whole damn AICN site is out of order!!! Oh hey, Predator 2 is on...
-
Ed burns is a smarmy cunt that deserves to get the shit kicked out of him on a regular basis. All he's ever given me is a case of the ass. Kurt RusselL is cool. See the diffrence?HOD you might want to rethink the revolution idea. The leaders of all revolutions are the first folks lined up against the wall and shot, they threaten the bureaucracy.

the strongest character in the movie is his mother - a single parent who tries to give her kid all possible advantages in a time when most single women would get rid of the kid and try to get remarried. sally fields may be leaking and i'm not arguing it is shakeable here but the story makes a hero out of her for succeeding and providing a moral compass under difficult circumstances.

while i didn't take it that way at first, i can see the propagandist side to gump, or at least how people say that. the american dream - even a slobbering retard, so unable to determine what is going on around him he can't figure out how to catch a bus - can rise to be in charge of a multinational forbes 500 company. at the time this seemed unrealistic, recent events however.........

-
But to me--it's basically just a good Sgt Rock comic. That's it. Xiphos here has it right-you have all the stereotypes-Bulldozer, Ice Cream Soldier, Ramrod, Little Sure Shot, etc all those guys. The final tank battle/house to house thing was pretty effective too. I can remember there being alotta digs at John Wayne when this came out-?!--as in Spielberg saying 'well it's not John Wayne going up the beach'. Ahhh, no, it's fucking TOM HANKS AND ED FUCKING BURNS WOWSWERS I'M CREAMING MY PANTS GALORE HERE!!! Xiphos did you think the Duke was at least OK in his war movies though he served about as long as me, Tom Hanks and Spielberg combined? Just wondering-- Jurassic_Kong. Whomever said '90 minutes-get to NYC and have the monkey SHOT' was about right. Sir Petey Jax really overkilled here. This is a movie-PaZooz you know I'm right here-that Ringy was right about. There=I said it. You may fire when ready. I was bored by Gump. I liked Sleepless in Seattle-yes I'm a sap-and I liked Bagger Vance as well. Oh well. As for Giant Robots--I of course enjoyed the shit outta that-though a 'Raging fat funny guy'-less cut would be an improvement. We'll see.
-
The trouble is, no matter what film I see him in - I always expect Tom to do that 'gagging on caviar' thing from Big. So, I can never concentrate on his acting abilities cos I'm patiently waiting for him to start the 'gagging on caviar' schtick. He should do that in every film. It's funny.

Some of the hatred here is odd. Tom Hanks, Ed Burns?
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Really? Out of all the untalented cunts populating mainstream films-- you guys direct so many words on these two? Hanks is 50/50 with me-- but the guy has made some marvelous shit in his career. I don't understand any hatred toward a film like Sleepless In Seattle. If you despise romantic films as a whole, sure...I get it. But to actually say you hate Sleepless specifically? Weird. Why? I don't really see whats to hate. Find it dull, boring, just not interested-- yeah. I get it. And Ed Burns? Oh come on. He's just a working stiff trying to make that paper. He seems like a totally down to earth dude. He's a talented writer and a barely noticeable actor. Saying you hate him is like saying you hate tupperware. I don't get the point. Of course I understand most people don't understand my hatred either. But come on....Shia. Fuck. He deserves all the pain coming to him. I don't even want to think about it. My therapist told me to let it go.
-
Is that yeah he may be the America's favorite actor, but at least he's not a douchebag. I mean compared to someone like Brad Pitt who just seems like a dick, Tom Hanks is probably cocky, but wouldn't you be?
-
Sean Penn, Jim Carrey and Benicio Del Toro have been lined up to star in a new movie based on 1930s comedy icons The Three Stooges? That Sounds Terrible.
-
I got your package. Needless to say, you are a cinema god among men.And I don't care about tom Hanks either way really. Alls I know is I got a WTWTA trailer, and some comic book reviews, so AICN is okay by me today. That said, HOD, your package is far cooler than anything else that has happened to me spring break. Thanks so much dude.
-
That talentless, smug, cock jockey I dislike immensely, it's a chemical reaction to his very presence, he makes me violent. Hanks used to be good then not so much any more. He fell out of favor with me after he started dissing his best acting gig, Bachelor Party.Now that's a good question Bando and I'd answer it like this. It depends on The Dukes role. The Green Berets he sucked goats balls in, but then again, the movie stuck way to close to the source material and the source material was shit. So it's no surprise there but we did "test hundred men today and only three won the Green Beret" SSGT Barry SadlerWayne in something like Sands Of Iwo Jima or the Longest Day he was good. of course The Duke's best work is in westerns or films about itinerant Irishmen.

Not to brag....but I met Tom Hanks years back....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....I was shooting and editing a video where actors were giving shout outs for the Anniversary dinner of a certain Hollywood Union. Anyway-- he was shooting that movie The Ladykillers, so he was in that Col. Sanders looking getup. He has a nice ass vintage Airstream trailer, pink plastic flamingos, a picket fence, and a little Webber's barbecue for his setup. That shows what kind of a guy he is. I was waiting for about 5 minutes and he bust out of his trailer on his cell phone waving at me and saying 5 more minutes very apologetically. When he came out he was cool as shit. I never for once felt like this was the dude that has been in a shitload of successful films. He is a working stiff. He treats everyone with the same respect. And not that actor respect where they're nice but you can still tell they live on a different level. No, he is absolutely ordinary. If you had never seen on of his films and you met him at a Christmas party or some shit, you would assume he was an insurance salesman or some other talky profession. Very nice guy.

Postlethwaite is fantastic in everything he's ever done.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
I really don't believe he has one weak performance.
-
Houseguest? I just saw him in something. I saw trying to remember what I saw David Paymer recently. I guess it was Redbelt or My Name is Earl. ahhhh the Houseguest guy i saw in Everybody hates Chris. HAHAHAHA I just mentioned two shows that can my first and middle name.
-
It was Bartleby that's what I was trying to figure out. I knew there was one movie he starred in. Yeah I've been a Postethwaite fan since I've tried to figure out how to say his last name.
-
Was the movie I was trying to figure out. I was typing in nerd actor in a fedora hat into Alta Vista.
-
Ain't it City David Paymer news. He directs like TV shows now, did an episode of The Unit, Greys, Gilmore, What about Brian, Brothers and Sisters, The Reuion, October Road. A bunch of chick shows? Like melo drama's, and he is kind of a comedian but he's always seemed a little gay I mean Bartleby is the ultimate gay story sooo.
-
But don't expect me to fuck you on the first date =).
-
AINT IT DAVID PAYMER NEW FLASH! There is a thread on IMDB about him being possibly casted as a three stoogies started back in ought 5. There is a more recent post talking about how he came into a Barnes and Nobel where a guy was working and bought a Three Stoogies dvd, from ought 8. There is also a post from ought 7 saying that he was in negoats to play Larry. See Danny me and you should start a casting agency.
-
Pete Postlethwaite at Laguardia Airport once as well. Crazy huh?
-
And he was in HOWARD THE FUCKING DUCK.
-
But it ain't gonna fucking work. Lets get real.
-
I'll always see him as Pig Vomit. But once I saw American Slendor I saw him as an Actor. Then I saw him in a bunch of shit like Shoot'em Up, Sideways and some other stuff (the M Night movie). Then I saw Jonathan Adams and really dug it. So he was on Kimmel and I wanted to see what kind of person he was and he was really cool. I was thinking that he was going to be a PSH/John Malcovitch suck up actor guy but he was funny. Kimmel asked him about the language in Adams and Giamatti was like, I don't know what half the shit I said in that movie meant I just read the lines. Which I thought was great.
-
Only real starring role was in Bartleby, which was his one shot to get famous. But the movie never went anywhere, so he'll always be a co-star.
-
So glad Bolthouse drinks has made a Vanilla Chai Tea drink that's not half bad. So I can stop going to my local star bucks and sounding like a douchebag ordering it.

Let The Right One In subtitles will be fixed.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
I know many are into this...“We've been made aware that there are several fans that don't like the version of the subtitles on the DVD/BR. We had an alternate translation that we went with. Obviously a lot of fans thought we should have stuck with the original theatrical version. We are listening to the fans feedback, and going forward we will be manufacturing the discs with the subtitles from the theatrical version.”

And that certainly ended in a way I definitely didnt expect. I don't have any idea in which the story is going now....

I had to skip the shop this week. I am in the poorhouse after the latest DVD purchases. I will be getting paid next Tuesday though, so will no doubt will be returning to make my new purchases, with a vengeance. I'm pretty sure both Cap, and Daredevil came out, so you can bet your ass I will be reading those two as soon as I can.
-
Fuck yes. I will definitely be getting that as well after the last cliffhanger. In case you haven't noticed, I'm kind of a sucker for anything Ed Brubaker. Who could blame me?
-
in less than two days. She loves the show as much as I do. And why shoulnd't she? It's incredibly funny, has surprisingly good action, and far better characters than anything else on television. Damn I love that show. Re-watching the two episode season finale just made me realize how much better Venture Brothers is than pretty much every other show that has ever played on Adult Swim.
-
LOST gave us the chance to think through wha t it would take to come to a conclusion as to whether or not we should shoot Hitler. And before we could figureout what was morally best- the show went haead and did what was more entertainging- they "killed" Hitler. That's a BIG step for a contemporary primetime, studio-driven TV show....
-
I will fight anyone who wants to challenge me on that.
-
Im extremly drunk...

I figured I should ask everyone else what they are starting with for the HOD packs. I'm torn between Outlander and TGTBTW. I would be fine with either, and both look very good. Hell, it seems like I've been waiting to see both for ages. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

And I woudlnt kick her out of bed.
-
Yeah fucking sold out at my shop. I'll look at the other shop tomorrow. Just finished the first two parts of the Deadpool Thunderbolts cross over. All I can think of is what is the hype about Thunderbolts, the Thunderbolts issue was SO bad I almost don't want to buy the next one. The drawing is damn near impossible to figure whats going on and the writing is so lame and unfunny. Deadpool is head and shoulders better, I wonder how the Messiah War is. Also why is the Dead Pool One Shot done by entirely different people as well? And why is he getting another spin off that is more then a one shot next month? My one big issue with this Deadpool series is that it started off SO tied into Secert Invasion that say 10 years from now someone wanted to go back and read it they wouldn't really get half the shit in these first issues, they need to break free with Deadpool and have him doing his own thing.

But Venture Brother is much better. The writers created a whole universe of characters, layering them with enough history and quirks to fill an entire world in just about any other TV show. Plus, it's one big ludicrous chain of homage to other obscure pop culture, while at the same time, the writers inject it with so much of their own fresh comedy, that it elevates the whole thing to new heights. It's brilliant stuff. I'm a gushing, hyperbolic fan, but the show really deserves it.
-
Catchphrase of the week.

Id argue that was pretty ballsy for a networkl show, Hitler or not. Thats not standard.
-
Mar 26, 2009 1:08:51 AM CDT
instead of injecting it with fresh comedy.....

by dannyglovers_dickblood

Venture Brothers is boring to me. Tom Goes to the Mayor is funny and just get funnier the more herb you put into your lungs. Plus Tom Goes To the Mayor was funny for being funny not funny by making obscure references, which would date it. But Tom Goes To the Mayor will be timeless. CHECK MY BIG CUPS! I made that my lady friends ring tone. I think its the show me and her have bonded over the most, she hates Venture Brothers.
-
I just fucking got sucked in and can't stop watching, luckily last week was the best episode since season 1. Pretty much Danny just watch season 1 which is amazing and make up your own ending. Though I don't think they show how Lock becomes paralyzed until season 3, that is a great fucking scene. Pretty much Lock is the only character they can explain in the show, so that's why I'm thinking Jacob's Ladder Ending with him.
-
I've tried watching some of that shit. I never understand a fucking thing. Its like I'm watching cartoons from Norway. I don't get the jokes, references, anything. So I go back to MSNBC. Fuck.
-
So far has been OK. NBC needs to find a new production company to make their shows (I think Universal makes most of them?) because they all look the same and have that same color pallet and feel to them. Like they all use the same sets or something, maybe film stock? I knew that actors freely flow in between them all. But other then that its a pretty interesting start, I mean if you've seen Deadwood Ian is giving the same performance but with the balls cut off. He was the King of Deadwood, now he really is a King. Its not as good as Deadwood, and really Deadwood if you don't start at the beinging is pretty terrible. I tried to show my mom and episode towards the end of season 1. And having no real idea or context of the show she thought it was terrible and that the acting was awful. I thought about it and she was right like if you didn't start from the beginning of the show and if you don't buy it, it really is crap. Damn I need to get seasons 2 and 3 of that thing.
-
It would explode. Come on- we can all tell its past its breaking point. Which makes it so damn desirable.
-
That definitely doesn't make it a better show. What if you run out of pot? And sure, the references may date the show, in like 50 years. I'm not sure, but I'm betting by then a lot of people won't care about Venture Brothers anyway. Stuff like Looney Tunes is timeless, but even some of the jokes in that can be severely dated sometimes. Little Hollywood references, etc.

That's my argument. It goes back to the entire Hitler debate. Is it ok to kill Hitler as an "innocent" kid, knowing exactly what he'd do?" LOST went straight past the debate and had a character pretty much say "fuck it", forgoing his soul and possbily conceming himsekf to Hell to kill a childlike Hitler.
-
Is like Lost, it takes some time to develop the characters, and the story gradually builds and evolves all the time. So you can't really watch individual episodes out of order like they are aired on adult swim. Like Lost or whatever, you have to see them the first time chronologically. At least for me, buying the DVDs and doing that made the whole thing a much more rewarding experience.And if you think a hitman getting decaptitated by a strangled shark in a hawaiian shirt and wearing a blonde scalp is boring, then I don't know what to tell you.

I'll probably watch TGTBTW with a few friends all under the influence. I think that would be the way to do it.
-
Is still funny off of the herb, but come on all Adult Swim shows were made to go hand and hand with herb. But man even some of the Venture Brothers reference I don't get because they are so obscure and old plus I don't get all the love for the animation? It's fine and all nothing amazing. I'm watched the show from the beginning back in college and have stuck with it and have pretty much watched all of it twice. I know I watched season 3 twice to see if I was just not in the right mood the first time, and there were a few more laughs but I didn't think it was better then season 2. And if you look back at most comedy shows that are actually funny (not 2 and half men funny) season 2 is always the best. I figure its because season 1 where they become a hit they gotta work the kinks out, then with season 2 they got all the kinks worked out and they are a hot show and get the best talent on it, so season 3 and onward is just trying to reach that success again. There are a few exceptions and these usually belong to shows that go for 5 seasons or more. South Park is a good example there best stride was seasons 5-8, they were pretty much flawless in that time. But also there haven't been many shows where the creators retained that much soul power of creating its content.
-
I'm there with on that big butt love.
-
And not bc Jeff Fahey is on LOST now. They're just weird.
-
Like every thing (save for Family Guy where he is kind of the worst) Waterburn, he is the best part. And I did watch Venture Brothers in order. Maybe I'll do the DVD's one day, but its already taken so much of my time and I don't have this huge urge to go back. I'll keep watching the new stuff though.
-
Mar 26, 2009 1:32:47 AM CDT
Yeah it feels like you gotta be fucked up for that shit.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Maybe thats why I never get it. Not much into the herb.
-
Of course I don't get every obscure reference, but the character beats and dialogue are much better than Tom Goes to the Mayor, and if you ask me, something like South Park, which has become a bit predictable and boring. I have barely seen it this season though.I do agree with you about the seasons thing. Season 2 is indeed slightly better than Season 3, but having just seen the latest season over again, I have to say, it is still pretty strong. There have been a couple of really weak episodes, but when they get it right, they knock it outta the park.
-
Mar 26, 2009 1:34:57 AM CDT
But yeah LOST just demonstrated the "Hitler as a kid" scenario

I haven't watched it in a very long time, but I remember the two episodes I liked best: the one that introduces Gibbons, and the one where Tenacious D cameos as madmen selling bear traps for the protection of the people.That Tim and Eric show is just awful. I mostly can't look back on Tom Goes to the Mayor with much affection because of it's connection with Tim and Eric. That is just some rank, completely unfunny television. It just irritates me.

-
Tom Goes To the Mayor, that show is just so off the wall. Not a big fan of Awesome Show, I like it but that show is pretty much only enjoyable on herb. Yeah I agree on South Park being predictable and boring as of recent. Matt and Trey need to move on and give other people a shot and see if they just drive it into the ground.
-
funny Tim and Eric episode is like the second episode. I don't know why but everything in that episode cracks me up. Also the Ray Wise instructional video on hugs makes me laugh. As far as Tom Goes To the Mayor, you need to watch My Big Cups episode with Sir Mix A lot, and the one with Micheal Ian Black. As for Awesome Show yeah it kind of ruins Tom Goes To the Mayor if you didn't watch that first. We were kind of pissed to know that it ended. But I can't believe some of the guest they get on that show and the shit they do. They had Jeff Goldblum on once and they got Josh Grobin on this weekend.
-
So with production values these high, did the studio that made this just lose like a shit load of money?By the way, lemme just say, "Holy shit balls." I didn't realize until I started this that they got JESUS HIMSELF to play the Outlander. What dumbshit decided to not give this movie a bigger release? It would have been better than nothing.
-
Xavier or Moral Orel? Man those are like on the opposite ends of the comedy spectrum. They are like depressing comedies. The last 13 episode run of Moral Orel is just Brilliant, they aren't really that funny but its this crazy web of fucked up shit that connects the whole town. If you can get Moral Orel I suggest watching them all. There are a few in the first half that aren't that great, but man like the last 13 episodes are so fucked up and depressing you just gotta see it. I would go back and watch those in order back to back. As for Xavier, I put it on the Tom Goes To the Mayor catagory except it too is just depressing some times. Its a fucked up show, and if you really listen to what he says its really funny. Some people say that when you die you shit your pants, not me I'm gonna shit my heart.
-
The character that just shot (and supposedly killed) the "Hitler" character suspected the Hitler guy of being an enemy back in Season 2, and he beat tht everliving shit out of him to interrogate the truth. So how is it going to turn out? Did the kid know that one day, this guy he is letting "escape" from daeth and torture, is going to return to beat the crap out of him and torture him into (almost) submission?
-
Cost 50 million to make, made less then a million.
-
BAM- that's LOST.
-
It made 4 million overseas.
-
along with Tim and Eric, are the reasons why I never watch Adult Swim anymore. I actually somewhat agree with you about Moral Orel. to a degree, the satire and criticism of religion and conformity are pretty clever, but after 10 PM, I rarely ever want to watch something as depressing or boring as that. It works to a certain extent, but it's never enough for me. I can honestly say, I have never once laughed out loud at a single episode of that show. Xavier? Fuck no. Tim and Eric? Fuck no. I appreciate Venture Brothers because unlike the rest of the adult swim schlock, it actually tries to have a cohesive plot with characters with more than one dimension (even if most of them are outrageous) and actually takes the time to develop jokes and a plot line. And yeah, the animation is higher quality. But that's really the least of my worries when it comes to adult swim.
-
Is the writing is actually really good. Some of the dialogue and the little ways people express and interact is just good stuff. It's got a good cast too.
-
Is all around the best movie I've seen in theaters since last summer. I know this because I think its a movie that will hold up well with repeat viewings, unlike most summer crap. And its not overly long. Its just such a fun movie even if Mr. Serious is the lead. I think the success of Outlander falls in the hands of John Hurt, seriously when was the last time you saw him playing someone other then the babbling old man? Yeah I know I haven't either, I pretty much thought that he was just a crazy old man and that was him, didn't realize that there was still if in him.
-
Delocated? I think that its a fun show. I can understand hating Awesome show I won't bother defending it. Neither will I defend Xavier, its just SO fucking bizarre and I've never been on Herb while watching it and still love it. I just love the fact that Vernon Chatman and the rest of the Wonder Showzen crew are so fucked up and don't care. I read this interview about their work on Wonder Showzen and how they were purposely trying to get the show canceled. Yeah Moral Orel should have been a Showtime Original show.

Towards the halfway mark, it really picked up, and I really started getting the hype for the movie. A majority of this flick is visually very satisfying, and the entire cast does a pretty good job of selling the somewhat goofy story. Certain shots of this movie were just really incredible. I loved the shots of the rampaging monster on fire, and the part where it was peering out from the waterfall. And the flashbacks to Kainan's past were cool too. This movie really deserves a lot more attention than it got. Shucks.
-
I have an impossible to dispute WORST MOVIE EVER. So bad that I'd rather watch a triple bill of AvP:Rectum, The Gump and SPR. Because as much as I hate all of those not one of them induced patholigical rage followed by a migraine. Not one of them had wanky camera techniques lifted from Halloween, a twist that a fucking gumpian cretin could spot himself, and I'm pretty certain a vague anti-drugs message. THe characters also were all struck by the moron disease. And what is this abomination? SHROOMS. Do not fall for the tagline (They came to get wasted, now they're getting slaughtered), do not fall for the pedigree, avoid like fat bastards avoid salad.

I cannot get across HOW awful it is- and it isn't fun awful like Troll2. It's worse than AvP rectum. Honestly, the whole thing is filmed through some sort of blue filter, and the lens for the camera is kind of distorted, they jam it right in every characters face. If that's not enough- they do the eye thing froom the beginning of Halloween. I know it's meant to look like it does if you're fucked on shrooms, but it's AWFUL.

friends used to be, but they've all been on too many times. I find later Scrubs annoying- he's just such a complete and utter cunt. He needs to grow a pair of bollocks and stop being a fuckhead- especially all that shit with his knocked up girlfriend.
-
I'm off at 12 (Hah- suck it bitches) then have an afternoon drunkening.
-
Although it's hard to watch if you don't follow them all from the start - the later seasons have gotten very convoluted.And Droid, if you have a choice between The Shield and The Wire, go with The Wire first. The Shield is good, but The Wire is great. In fact, I might go through The Wire again from the start. It would be nice to watch the whole thing without those yearly interruptions between seasons. Also, I imagine it is probably better than Charmed.
-
Don't like that one at all. From what I've seen of it, it looks to be the exact same episode over and over again. Zach Braff has a 'funny' flashback, the black guy says something about being the black guy, John C McGinley does a 'funny' rant, then there's that horribly sappy last five minutes where everyone learns and grows and whatnot.Not for me at all.

Yeah, I'll watch The Wire before The Shield
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Gotta get moving on that. Had the wire for a while now. Only watched one episode.
-
For some reason, I thought it would be funny to keep going on about a show no one here would ever watch, but I ended up being forever branded as 'That Gilmore Girls Guy'.Oh, well.
-
he loves physical comedy. I don't get Penn either. That's odd.
-
They've pretty much dumped the entire storyline of him having a kid now. It's barely mentioned. I think this is Braffs last season, but apparently the might continue. Not sure how. It's like Cheers without Ted Danson. Yes, there are plenty of other amusing characters, but JD is the central character of the show.
-
The only (alleged) comedy I've seen him in is We're No Angels. And Team America.
-
An unexcusable oversight. Yes, he was comedy gold in that. But that was 25 years ago.
-
no, you're not. And you're not funny either
-
To me he's the most perfect out of the three. Looks and sounds like his counter-part. The other two dont sit well with me. Not sure if Del Toro can lose the accent and Carrey just doesnt work at all for me.
-
was desperate. I kind of thought that they were bringing in whatshername as wife/ mother to make the character grow up. Is Braff leaving so he can continue making such "quality" fims as The Last Kiss?
-

Honestly, I know very little about the stooges
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I didn't even know the other guys name was Shemp until i read it up there. ^ I thought it was Larry. All i know is it's physical comedy. Carrey is a given. Del Toro proved a great physical comedian in Fear & Loathing, but Penn?
-
He hasn't done it much, though. There's Fast Times, as Droid said, and he was also pretty funny on Friends. Not as funny as Brad Pitt, but not bad.
-
Mar 26, 2009 5:38:28 AM CDT
I watched The Last Kiss on a flight
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And I was tempted to storm the cockpit, United 93 style.
-
They would be Moe, Larry, and Curly. When Curly left because he had a stroke they replaced him with Shemp. Oh and if you are not familiar with the characters then I guess it wouldn't be a problem for you.
-
I can't see him doing the physical comedy. One of them should have been Bruce Campbell- he loves them. Maybe he can be one of the Fake Shemps. That would be cool
-
It's one of Woody's more dramatic films, but parts of it are funny and Sean Penn is good in that.I liked that he would take women with him to watch while he shot rats.
-
describe the last kiss. I got a get out of jail free card for ages for Mrs. Jarv picking that one.
-
Anyone seen that one? That's got Zach Braff in it.I recorded it the other night and can't decide whether to save it for after the Asian season is over or just delete it.
-
It's got Braff in it, therefore it will suck.
-
Mar 26, 2009 5:58:43 AM CDT
Avoid The Ex like the fucking plague
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Absolute shit. Sweet and Lowdown was good, you're right. And Penn was good in that. But as Jarv said, it's the physical comedy I'm struggling with. Anyway, however it ends up, it cannot be as godawful as The Heartbreak Kid. That's up there with my absolute worst cinema experiences, where you sit there wishing a painful death on all those involved.
-
just not one of the three stooges. there's a difference.
-
then he quit cause some threatened to kill them or something. then curly came in. then curly had a stroke and he came back. then shemp died and there were other 'shemps'. so people think curly was first. but he wasn't. shemp was. shemp was first!
-
More of an incompetent, low budget fuck-up.
Platinum Stinkers need that magical combination of several inexcusable elements:
Especially:
(1) Total contempt for the audience (see "Hannibal", most M Bay movies, all Robin Williams' "sad clown" movies, all Brian Di Palma "quickies", all movies written by Joe Ezterhaus)
(2) Gigantic Ugly Ego (see: any Stallone, Mariah Carey or Madonna movie)
(3) Pretentiousness (see Shyamalan, Aronovsky, Godard, "Eyes Wide Shut")
(4) Multidisciplinary Incompetence (acting, directing, writing, cinematography, music) despite a large budget ("Australia", "Godzilla")
(5) Puerile stupidity unredeemed by humour ("Battlefield Earth", the Prequels, the Matrix sequels).
(6) Flogging a dead horse/defiling the Dead for cash ("Godfather III", the Prequels)
Sometimes a movie can be a Platinum Stinker with just one fatal element ("Swept Away"). Sometimes most fatall elements are present ("Australia").
Some movies look a bit like a Platinum Stinker (say "King Kong" "Gangs of New York") but just involve overenthusiasm/lack of discipline/trying too hard - by someone who's trying to make a good movie. -
"Absolute shit."After the double whammy of Evan Almighty and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, I cannot take another shitty comedy. They are spoiling my appreciation for comedies. I almost rented Good Luck Chuck, too, which I reckon would have given me a Triple of shitty comedies starring women I'd like to slather with various lotions.
-
but it was also a rip off. michael caton was in a movie that was exactly the fucking same. he was also in a movie with rob schineder, who produced chuck and larry. coincidence? i think not fuckhead. the movie wasn't even funny. who rips of a movie that wasn't so great in the first place.? rob schnider that's who.
-
1)- COntempt for the audience, it's even got a stupid assed flashback scene telling you how the killer 2)Ego- yup, they clearly think they're cleverer than the average bear 3)Pretentiousness- see aforementioned hallucination effect 4)Incompetence- Acting was woeful, writing was inept, Casting an English person as an Irish person when he can't do the accent, writing- I'm now certain of this- British and Irish people call the shrooms that kill you Death Cap's NOT Death heads, see earlier hallucination effect, 5)Puerile stupidity: "We said we had a phone, we didn't say it would work" 6)Not present. That's 5 out of 6! Fuck's sake.
-
can someone explain to me why Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider pitch up in each other's movies at the end and say "You can do it" or some other such retardedness? I don't get why it's funny and I don't get where it's from.
-
if there was anyone less funny than Anthony Anderson. Señor Chipps has provided us with the answer. Rob Schneider. If there's anyone who deserves to be beaten to death with a sack full of Deauce Bigelow 2 dvds it's him. Unfortunately I've also subjected myself to Good Luck Chuck. Unfunny purile shit. Whoever that fat prick is needs to hurry up and die. And Dane Cook or whatever the fuck his name is? Where the fuck did he come from? He came out of nowhere like a biblical fucking plague to rain down all manner of shit on the unsuspecting public and has now retreated into oblivion. Where I'm hoping he will stay.
-
I think it first started in Waterboy.
-
I have to admit, I thought that was kind of funny the first few times I saw it. But then it stopped being funny and they kept doing it anyway.
-
and come on- who doesn't love The Animal. *pokes bear with stick*
-
fuck them. Neither of them has been remotely funny in a long time.
-
B. Talking about these movies makes me realise exactly how much absolute shit I watch. C. Rob Schneider has a face that begs for a beating. He incites in me an irrational desire to punch him repeatedly.
-
...says a lot about how bad those films are. My standards for comedies are extremely low and I go into every comedy ready and willing to laugh. Give me five or six decent laughs and I'm usually happy. I even liked the first Deuce Bigalow (not the second one, though, that was shit).Also, throw Zack & Miri on that pile. Another recent comedy that didn't make me laugh at all.Can anyone recommend any GOOD recent comedies?
-
than you are is not quite the same as contempt.
Shrooms is incredibly stupid, but I had the impression the makers had no clue how dumb it was.
Contempt is when someone like Ridley Scott, who knows better, deliberately feeds crap to an audience he knows will eat it up.
Plenty of incompetence in Shrooms, but it had no budget. Not like when well-paid professionals drop the ball.
I agree that the hallucination effect was rubbish, but I don't think the producers were under any illusion that they were making "Art". So I didn't rate it as pretentious.
But can't argue against "puerile stupidity with no redeeming humour". -
Search your feelings, you know that the best bit of The Longest Yard was when he turned up in the crowd. Laugh? I nearly shat.
-
Fuck. Thanks, Jarv. I'd repressed that memory. I saw that steaming load of shit on a flight as well. My god I've seen some awful shit on flights. The Pink Panther, which i couldn't even finish. I seriously chose to read one of the inflight magazines instead of watching the rest.
-
There are precisely two good things in that film. No, actually, three good things:Chris Rock.Courtney Cox's fancy new boobs.
-
The worst thing about it was, that was the SECOND time I had seen it. There were no other options and I had forgotten to bring anything to read.Maybe that's why I hate Daredevil so much.
-
Shucks? What is he from the 50's?
-
It's faithful to the comic-book, so if you hate the film then I don't think you'll enjoy the comic-book... so we're not coming at it from the same perspective or point of reference. Which, sadly, makes it somewhat difficult to see the logic.
-
shee-it that was painful When I went to Brazil a few years ago, it was Stardust, which was alright.
-
Mar 26, 2009 6:57:30 AM CDT
One Sandler flick I quite enjoy is...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Anger Management. Nicholson is great in that. "I said over easy!" Unfortunately in that one they have Rudy Fucking Giuliani say that "You can do it" line.
-
Quicker than usual.
-
Nah, only joking.I can't be assed to have that argument again.Each to their own and whatnot.
-
Mar 26, 2009 7:00:26 AM CDT
Ha! Genius. Frankie mentions Daredevil and POOF!
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Zedd appears.
-
When I picked out incompetence, I don't think budget applies in this case. If you write a script set in the UK/ Ireland about drugs and have the character that's meant to be Irish talk in an English accent using American slang, then that's gross incompetence- that's basic fucking shit. The reason I think it's contempt is that it wouldn't have been hard to fix- but they just couldn't be arsed. I'm aware that I've actually made it sound much better than it actually is- it isn't any good. It doesn't make your platinum stinkers list, but it's firmly planted itself on mine. Shite on every coneivable level.
-
We're not talking about voldefilm again are we?
-
Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, and I even liked Little Nicky. Oh, and I liked Mr Deeds, although mostly because Jon Turturro is so funny in that one. But somewhere along the way Sandler's act stopped making me laugh, which seems to happen to most comedic actors eventually.
-
Nah, I was here to pimp my work. Franklin discussing DD was just a bonus. No disrespect meant, at any rate Frank. All I meant was that I knew about the goofy elements of DD in advance, so the idea of a blind superhero who wears an odd... leathery... costume didn't bother me. I can imagine someone who went in cold would be baffled by some of the logic gaps.
-
see I don't get how come he's still allowed to make films: Little Nicky, The Longest Yard, Big Daddy, Mr. Deeds (I can keep going) are all crimes against celluloid and he needs to suffer. Of that list, the one I hate the least is The Longest Yard, which at least didn't make me want to throttle a puppy. It's still shite.
-
I can cope with- likewise Anger Management. But little nicky? Fucking awful. Double awful for Reese Witherspoon and the teenage twat posse of Angels.
-
His films generate more money than Fox will lose on Dollhouse.
-
Possibly - I just assumed Mr Z was shrugging at me.
-
I was just shrugging in general. It's my 'eh, what can we do?' mannerism of choice.
-
If it makes laugh, I like it, and Little Nicky made me laugh.
-
Mar 26, 2009 7:12:36 AM CDT
Happy Gilmore, Anger Management i quite enjoy
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
The Waterboy I fucking loathe.
-
I'll admit, I giggled at stuffing pineapples up Hitlers ass. But that was it.
-
Have you seen Dollhouse? I haven't been able to see it yet, and I'm concerned that people seem to be slating it already.As a Whedon fan and a devout worshipper of Eliza Dushku, I was really looking forward to it. I hope it's not shit.
-
Have fun people. See you tomorrow.
-
It was shit. I've been told the 2nd episode is better, but the first was so shit I won't watch anymore. I recommend you start with 102, and never watch the atrocious first episode.
-
is another one that I would do things that are banned, even in Holland, to. On that note. Ciao.
-
I watched the pilot and it was so shit that I refused to watch any further. Dushku also looks weirdly old.
-
His stupid voice, that stupid coat, the bit with Clint Howard, those two heavy metal idiots, the part where he was possessed and saying inappropriate things to that Arquette woman, the guy with boobs on his head... I could go on and on, but it's probably not worth it. You can't really justify why something is funny to you - it either is or it isn't. And Little Nicky Nicky was funny to me.Like I said above, I have low standards when it comes to comedy.
-
Lucky bastard.
-
Seems only fair to give most shows a few episodes before writing them off altogether. But I haven't seen any of it, so what do I know?I still have my fingers crossed it will at least be entertaining. I sat through every episode of Tru Calling for a fix of Eliza, and this Dollhouse has to be better than that.
-
Usually, I'd agree. But then usually, I don't yell 'WHAT THE FUCK?' at my screen in anger. I'm actually pretty easygoing for TV, it takes something God-awful to put me off completely. People have said it's gotten better... but I'd equate it to meeting a hot girl who took a shit on your shoe. She might put out later, but you'd never get the visual of her taking a shit out of your mind.
-
Mar 26, 2009 7:28:15 AM CDT
You can if it's irredeemable shit like that
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Seriously, just absolute shit.
-
If it was a Joss Whedon show, it'd be embarrassing. But it was okay for what it was. Dollhouse 101 was just embarrassing for Whedon.
-
Did you watch the entire episode? I got 33 minutes in and turned it off in disgust. Then a mate coerced me to watch the whole thing... and halfway through I became angry there was no fine Scotch around.
-
I gave it about 20 minutes before I lost interest and I did other things. I left it running and followed what happened. I will never watch that show again.
-
Comedies are the genre where I'm most forgiving. If I get a solid 5 laughs, mission accomplished.If you're looking for a great comedy then rent The Hammer, Frank. Not only is it funny, but it's sweet as hell and I hear that's your thing.Oddly enough I laughed non-stop during Zohan and Click (I've already explained death and cancer being the connection) but the past decade has not been kind to him, with Spanglish being one of the worst movies ever made. I heard Reign Over Me was good though.Who is Elvis Crespo and why was he jacking off on a plane?
-
Damn. I had high hopes for that one.There is not enough good stuff on telly these days.
-
See, this is what I get for talking about Gilmore Girls. I really should have kept that to myself.I'll put The Hammer on the list, though. It looks like it combines comedy and boxing, which are two of my favourite things, so it's got to be worth a go.
-
Any recommendations for a Miyazaki film I can try during the Asian season?I've always avoided him because I don't like Anime. I know what he does is not Anime in the strictest sense, but his stuff is Japanese and animated so I kind of lump them all together.I'd like to give one a go, though. What's the best place to start?
-
This is a dangerous time. Me, all on my own in the Ain't It Cool - this is when I tend to write my most inane and rambling posts.This is when I tend to go on about Gilmore Girls!Maybe I should just do some work or something instead.
-
Mar 26, 2009 8:31:02 AM CDT
Luke out of Gilmore Girls was on Seinfeld the other night
by franklin t marmoset
He was significantly slimmer and looked an awful lot like Nicolas Cage.Elaine was concerned about whether he was spongeworthy.Alright, that's it. I'm really going to do some work now. Seriously.
-
If it's the Miyazaki I think you're talking about - try Howl's Moving Castle. It's pretty good but I'm no authority on anime.I won't be on here long either...
-
"Whenever IS he on here long?"And you'd be quite right to think that. The answer is - usually very late when nobody else is on. I cry myself to sleep...
-
Always happens... (sniff)
-
I had my anime period about the time Akira came out but I can't stomach the stuff now. Princess Monocle did nothing for me, Steamboy was a turd and Ghost in the Shell was a convoluted mess. In my opinion, stick with live action.
-
Not Joking. Best one. Bit pissed. see you.
-
Mar 26, 2009 9:13:49 AM CDT
Jarv does a drive by to rub it in our faces. Bastard.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I came to the conclusion quite quickly that I just don't like anime. Akira was quite good, but anything else I've tried to watch has completely baffled me and I found nothing of interest. Tried to watch Spirited Away, because so much had been said about it, but only got about 30 minutes in before I turned it off and never returned.
-
I can't think of a single Anime that I tried watching that didn't bore me to tears. Anime makes me sleepy.Still, I was under impression that this Miyazaki fellow did something different in that his stuff wasn't all about robot assassins and giant tentacle monsters with teeth in their vaginas and whatnot.Is that not true?
-
Mar 26, 2009 9:20:58 AM CDT
I have to say I did laugh a lot during Zohan
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But Click starting off mildly amusing then got stomach-churningly sentimental. It was sickening. And c'mon. Farting in the bosses face? When the fuck are americans going to grow out of potty humour? Groundhog Day, which is of a similar theme to Click, is an all time classic. Hilarious, smart, sweet and poignant. It contains zero potty humour. Hollywood should be using that as a template instead of crap like American Pie.
-
Ostensibly, to go to the team bonding bowling event, but fuck that. I am totally sneaking off when no one's looking and going home.
-
Mar 26, 2009 9:34:46 AM CDT
"If I get a solid 5 laughs, mission accomplished."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That's fair enough, but none of the alleged comedies I mentioned garnered so much as a chuckle.
-
I'd imagine if you meet a woman who likes it, and say you like it, you're in!
-
Check out My Neighbor Totoro. It pretty much has the childlike glee of a Disney movie, so if you're into that sort of thing, you might enjoy it. Another one by him that's really fun is Porco Rosso.
-
I said "shucks" on a fucking talkback. Now why don't you go switch on Tom Goes to the Mayor, smoke a bag of weed, and cry about it? psshhhh
-
And did a lot of drunk posting, though I did my best to keep the typos to a minimum. And entire bottle of wine after a pint of Fat Tire Ale. Oh my head is spinning this morning...
-
If you've never liked anime, I see no reason to start now, seriously. The entire medium is utilized to bring movies and shows to life that couldn't work in live action and need that extra styistic touch. That's pretty much the whole reason any of this stuff gets made how it does; it's too loony to work any other way. Bearing that in mind, I would still recommend most of the Miyazaki stuff, particularly My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso, and Princess Mononoke, but only if you're going in open minded and expecting something different than normal cinematic fare. If you're just going in with the attitude you have now, then obviously you're just gonna be wasting your time.
-

"And entire bottle of wine after a pint of Fat Tire Ale."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Where I come from that's called breakfast.
-
there's a freakin' talking cow in it at one point.
Miyazaki-Princess Mononoke is the LOTR of the bunch, Howls Moving Castle is Wizard of OZ, Spirited Away is Alice in Wonderland.
My recommendation is all of them, but start with Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind. That's one of my faves. Porco Rosso is quite good as well.
Also, for a non anime fan, who is going through an asian "season", you have to see Grave of the Fireflies. It's a Studio Ghibli film, but not Miyazaki. No matter, see it. -
I think its got enough action for Frank to enjoy. Even though Spirited Away is the better movie, its more akin to Alison Wonderland.
-
I heard it's really sad, and I haven't been in the mood to consciously watch a really depressing film in a long time.
-
Went to bed at 3 am, woke up at 11. Big headache, which is odd, bc I usually don't get hangovers.
-
Special thanks to Jonah for the helpful analogies. With those in mind, I'm going to give Howl's Moving Castle a try since I like The Wizard Of Oz best out of those films you mentioned.P.S. (to kungfu) Of course I'm going in open minded. I'm a bastard, but I'm not bastard enough to ask for suggestions just so I can watch the recommended films and then shit on them. Part of the point of this Asian season was to try a few new things.
-
I don't drink white because of the horrendous headache it gives me. I can drink Red until the cows come home and wake up at the crack of dawn ready to take on the world.
-
I thought Howls was the least spectacular of all of Miyazaki's movies. It's not exactly a bad thing by any means. His other stuff is just that much better.
-
Then I hope you've seen "The New Guy" with her trying-on-different-bikinis-montage.
-
I think we started with a zinfindel and I ended with a cabernet. My dad works for a winery and I'm housesitting for him this week while he eats crawfish etoufee in New Orleans, so we always have lots of free wine to drink.
-
I have an open mind when it comes to Miyazaki and anime but it just doesn't do anything for me anymore. I watch each one expecting it to be the one to bring me back to the fold but alas, it hasn't happened yet.Red wine has very little effect on me anymore. Which is why it's become my beverage of choice.
-
Indeed I have seen that one. I am one of the select few who actually liked it, I think.I like that D J Qualls. He makes me laugh. Plus, you know, Eliza in bikinis. Not too bad. Not too bad at all.
-
I've got to start somewhere, and if I like this Howl's Moving Castle then I'll try a few more of his films.
-
I had a few hours before work so I figured I could at least start it. I'm really liking it so far. These really long single shots full of action are impressive, and I love the visual style. And it's always nice to see another movie with Song Kang-ho. The guy is just likable.
-
Which is why this morning is so strange. Must have been the new beer mixed in.
-
That's like alcohol 101 or something. I think my Mum told me that.
-
I feel like I've done it plenty of times. The only alcohol rule I know is "Beer before liquor, never been sicker. Liquor before beer, never fear."
-
That Lost ep kinda sucked.
-
Mar 26, 2009 11:00:00 AM CDT
First thing you learn is never mix beer and wine
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Rookie mistake.
-
Bale is one of the voices in Howls(the american dub).
-
Glad we had a return to character-centric flashback episodes. Course, I was very drunk too.
-
As per my audio review, the ending wasn't so anti-climatic. They can't change what's happened, so THAT is an annoyingly tension free ending.
-
Mar 26, 2009 11:11:35 AM CDT
I don't think its definitive that they can't change anything
by d.vader
AsSawyer said, Faraday has some ideas on what they can and can't do, and we know Desmond has changed the future (albeit in a very small way). Granted, I don't think you can kill anyone that's not supposed to die yet, but then again, Alex got killed and Ben seemed extremely surprised by that... Still, anti-climactic bc it was expected or not, I'm still shocked they showed it.
-
That's a new one on me.This is what's good about the Ain't It Cool. Good film recommendations, and we can also swap drinking advice.
-
Which is what makes him special. So if he fired the gun, that'd be a WHOA moment. This is just 'oh, yeah, that's brutal... but kinda marred by the fact that it's not permanent.'
-
But sometimes you can get a Bud Ice
-
Sorry to report this bit of info to you but that show is as bad as Fringe or Heroes, It's that bad I'm sorry to say. I've watched every episode in a vain hope it would get better. It hasn't, it's gotten worse each time out.
-
Did you already see the next episode?
-
Balls.I haven't seen Fringe, but could Dollhouse really be as bad as Heroes? I don't know, that's pretty bad. Many of the world's top historians claim that not even the bubonic plague was as bad as Heroes.
-
I haven't seen an episode in months, but I've enjoyed every one I've seen.
-
And I'd totally bone that Aussie chick, even with her weak chin.
-
Its still going to be very interesting to see what this event does to the characters.
-
sucks so goddam bad I would rather drink the bilge water from a port a shitter then ever watch that fucking insultingly bad piece of shit from those soul less motherfuckers Kurtzman and Orci. Those fucking cock suckers need to catch a bullet. talentless morons.
-
But it can't be. Why? Because we're not dealing with alternate realities. There's one timeline. Certain things can't happen. Sayid, Sawyer, Juliet can all die in 1977 - but Horace can't, Chang can't, because we know they're alive further than that (Horace dies in 1992, because he HAS to relay that 'twelve years' message to Locke; Chang is in two copyright videos for 1980.) The only one who can change the past is Desmond, and even then it's debatable as to whether he can outright change it or just alter how things happen. But yes, Vader - the show IS more about the characters. And as no-one has told Sayid he can't change the past, it's going to be intriguing seeing where HE goes.
-
Apparently he was caught making out with my future wife Natalie Portman. That fucking bastard.
-
Its friday and beers are just around the corner.
-
if you haven't seen 'the castle' track it down. it is not recent, but it is fucking hilarious. some of the comedy won't make sence cause it is very australian, but you will get the joke even if you don't know what rissoles are or the trading post or whatever.
-
They could've had a laptop on the set for him surely, big British film like that. And F.Y.I. Iannucci is really nothing special.
-
is one of my favourite movies. cause that is the kinda person i am. i have a theme song, and it is 'assehole' by denis leary. after the first time i saw happy gilmore i went golfing (for the first time) with some blokes, and got smashed in the head with a golf ball off tee off. it hit me in the temple from about 5-10m on the full. The only other time i played golf i got sick of it after five holes, lined my balls up and hit them into a water course, drank a carton of beer and rolled a golf cart injuring a girl, causing me to be described as 'a force of nature'. gilmore was right about golf. it's for fat people with silly pants.
-
great movie
-
and that place is australia. i feel thirsty already, 10 hours till drinking time
-
and there is nothing wrong with beer and liquor, infact i often pour whisky into my beers. one of the cool things about oz is that we are pretty much the biggest wine producing country in the world and these wines have been winning lots of comps. you can pick a bottle of red for like 6 bucks, and its not too bad. the most expensive part is the glass bottle. so we have what we call 'goon' which is a four litre plastic bladder of wine. me and my mate used to get one each and drink them from pint glasses. not too bad and it gets you drunk. but i prefer beer.
-
Okay fine. Let's try this one: Jarv--you're Missus has taken up w/ a pair of CHAVS w/ Great British Teeth from SHEFFIELD. And they like Twilight.
-
Her shows-NOT. Acting wise-not so hot. But who cares? Anime-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I have Spirited away, saw Princess Mononoke and have see the floating Castle thingie there too. I liked-some of it? and thought they were all intelligent, nicely made-weird-and just Not For Me. Wasn't even the (relative) lack of Giant Robots either-just a kinda world-view and atmosphere that doesn't do it for me.

"When the fuck are americans going to grow out of potty humour?"
by xiphos_2
About the same time the Brits let go of the concept that a man in a dress is funny.
-
Black comedians in a dress and fat suit. HILARIOUS!
-
w/ Def Leppard tattooed on'em.
-
Fu manchu was in a little mood today wasn't he? And to think I went out of my way to get both issues of Bango Tango today.
-
The lady friend has been making me watch it, I could stand it the last two seasons but for some reason I hate everyone this season and can't stand it. Especially the Geico Gekko guy and his gay ass story and look and satin's cross.
-
Is that me lady friend hates the group song that opens every elimination epsiode and that's the only part I enjoy. She always wants to fast forward, and I am like well if you don't like this that's what they all sound like. Bad isn't it.
-
Mos Def on house next week? Can't tell if thats him doing the song in the tv spot for it or not.
-
Comic shop wouldn't give me their only ticket to the advance showing of Adventureland, but everyone there has talked about how they don't like Superbad and all the Apatow movies. Well I know when it is, I'll just show up and they will let me in like what they were doing with I love you Man.
-
Has anyone heard of this? Is Vin Disel taking over the transporter franchise? Oh wait its a video game. Lame.
-
Felon and Open Season tonight while dicking around with comedy night done right and Vagina Anatomy.
-
Wow. That was a solid film. I really enjoyed it.
-
You talking bout the new one or old one? I didn't buy Gladiator being bad, the only thing he did was stab a guy with a fork. And the whole Ben Forester part you could tell he was obviously gay for Russell.
-
Yeah that's what I figured too- Ben Foster was gay for Ben Wade. Wade was the charismatic bad guy with principles. I liked it.
-
In the middle of watching season 1 of Deadwood and that's probably why I hated it, because it wasn't as good as Wood. I may give it another shot, but I don't really care enough about the movie to see it again. I'd rather watch the original. AHHH fucking Lost with you subtitles. Guess I'll watch that bitch now. Ping if you need me.
-
Drunk off whisky mixers
-
It was the best movie I saw last year. Now true I didn't see many BUT it was the best of the lot. I fucking love that flick.
-
russel crows decisions made no sence. like in real life.
-
you just gave me a great idea for a movie. a man in a dress accidentally drinks a bottle of turbo lax. comedy gold insues. it will unite the two sides of the pond and be the biggest film of the year. i'll give you a story by credit.
-
we have a piper down.
-
Mar 27, 2009 4:03:42 AM CDT
3:10 to Yuma was fucking great
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I loved it. Crowe fucking owned that flick. Chipps is getting drunk? Music to my ears!
-
Chipps is probably on a beer run, the Yanks are snoozin', Zedd's on the whiskey sours and I'm bored out of my mind. *sniff*
-
Casual attire means casual attitude. Also, I'm knocking off early.Can't complain.Is Jarv even in today? Surely he is hungover from starting a drunkening yesterday at midday.
-
Saw Chocolate last night, which was all sorts of great. That fight on the outside of the building was amazing. Those Thais are nuts!Anyway, the Asians are currently 2 and 0 in terms of Mint Vs Wank. Not a bad start at all.I've got Death Note and Infernal Affairs 2 lined up for the weekend, although from what Jarv says it sounds like IF2 could be the first one to go into the Wank column.
-
Or is that today? Fuck all you pricks knocking off early. It's unlike Jarv to take a sickie from a hangover. He seems to go boozing every second day.
-
Mar 27, 2009 4:37:16 AM CDT
Good to hear the Asia-fest is going well
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I still have to watch The Good, The Bad and The Weird. Didn't get time to watch a movie last night. So, not much to talk about.
-
I've said I'm going, because that's the only way to qualify for the 4 o'clock finish, but my plan is to sneak off at the first available opportunity.It might not be so bad to go bowling, I suppose, but it just bugs the shit out of me that I'm being forced to do this by a company that's threatening to make me redundant. Balls to those assholes.
-
There were trailers for two Donnie Yen films on the Chocolate DVD, and I really want to see them both. Dragon Tiger Gate, in particular, looks really good.I predict that Donnie Yen will become a cornerstone of the Asian season.
-
This is no good. I am in no mood to do work.PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME DO WORK!!
-
I did drag my ass into work, only to get stuck in a terminably dull admin meeting for 2 and a half hours. Which is entirely my fault, as it was a direct consequence of my fuck up.
-
Yesterday, the donor pack arrived. However, I was terminally rubbered. I did attempt to watch outlander, but was too pissed to concentrate, so I turned it off and watched Dog Soldiers instead. Tonight, me and Mrs. Jarv have an epic triple whammy of OUTLANDER, Troll 2 and The Cars that Ate Paris planned.
-
Chocolate is 7 shades of awesome, despite what Mr. Twitch says,
-
where the fuck is the new twitch. This one is fucked.
-
blaaargh.
-
fell asleep on the sofa with a pint of guinness on my chest. Woke up at 5 feeling pretty rough (without spilling it) and drank it. Then went to bed. Mrs. Jarv tells me that apparantly I ate pizza last night. Which is interesting, because I have absolutely no recollection of that.
-
I've also got no recollection of the aforementioned guinness incident. Mrs. Jarv tells me I did that too.
-
I drank 32cl of a 35cl Whisky bottle (mixed)... woke up and finished the last batch of the mixed whisky glass without knowing what it was. Now my hangover is worse. On the plus side, talked to a very cute woman who likes Lost AND Streets of Rage.
-
If I got that drunk on a Thursday, i reckon I would write off Friday and call it a 3 day weekend.
-
I have seen many film series this year - Aliens & Predators, Die Hard, Rambo, Robocop, Evil Dead, Mad Max, even The Blues Brothers - so what better way to combine that peculiar obsession with my new obsession than by watching all 6 Once Upon A Time In China films!I haven't seen the first three in ages, so it would be good to go through them again, and I haven't seen any of the others at all. Trouble is, I'm having trouble finding parts 4 and 5 on DVD, which is a pain.I hope this isn't another idea that gets flushed down the shitter like The 13 Days Of Friday The 13th.
-
Do you drink Scotch?
-
Mar 27, 2009 6:09:38 AM CDT
There are 6 Once Upon A Time In China films?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I haven't seen any of them.
-
going to pub for lunch. There's noone in authoritah (hail cartman) here now. They're having a circle-jerk senior management meeting.
-
Glug.
-
So it's pretty much 'doss around until I go see The Wrestler later on.' Good, considering this hangover sucks asssssssssssss.
-
There are also a bunch of unofficial spin-offs and rip-offs and also a television series that I believe Tsui Hark was involved in.It looks like I'm only going to be watching 4 of them, though - 1, 2, 3 & 6. 4 & 5 (the ones they did without Jet Li) don't seem to be available unless I spend shitloads on imports.I am disappointed about this.
-
We need a new Twitch. This one moves with all the speed of Tiny Lister in a particularly heavy winter coat.
-
Mar 27, 2009 6:28:25 AM CDT
That's why you need to interweb, Frankie
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And sticky fingers.
-
I'm too hungover to deal with this loading time
-
Should you choose to except it, is to locate a copy of The Hammer and view it forthwith. This mesage will self destruct in five seconds unless the cheap ass chines electronic triggering device craps out again. Damn slave labor.
-
It's on the list, so I'm planning on watching it at some point.On a divergent note, did you know you could buy a 10 pound hardwood sledge hammer off Amazon? £17.31. I thought it was all DVDs and books and whatnot, but Amazon also have quite a wide selection of hammers.That is something new I have learned today.
-
this is ricockulous.
-
At Ace hardware or Sears but now I want to order one from Amazon just say I got it from Amazon.
-
...I discovered Amazon sell Irons but not Monkeys.Not so clever now, are you, Amazon? No monkeys! And you have the nerve to call yourself or shop or whatever it is shops call themselves when they're on the internets and not actually shops you can go into and look around and shoplift and whatnot.
-
Sorry about that. Bored.
-
had to be done, Cartman quotes rock.
-
then maybe JPT and my dream of having samurai monkeys would finally happen? It would be a glorius day I tell ya glorius!
-
Scott Tenorman Must Die, which ends with Scott Tenorman eating chili made from his own parents while Cartman licks the tears from his face and Radiohead tell him he's not cool.Funny.
-
My favourite Cartman moment is in the movie when he sings Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's behind him and he just sort of shrinks and says "oh fuck"- makes me laugh every time
-
JPT, on the off chance you are reading this, where are you?The CoC needs more JPT.
-
she's a dirty bitch.... hehehehehe
-
What a silly question. Am I an uncouth knuckle-dragging slob......er, well yes to all three. But I still drink scotch.Mind you, I can't afford the stuff so I drink it rarely but if memory serves, the best scotch I've ever had is 12 year Macallan.I always love the drunkening stories from this group. I wish I could contribute.
-
Is getting fucked by teh IT goons in his office so he only can post ocassionaly from home. I miss that poor fucker and the ocassional emails aren't cutting it.My new favorite Cartman episode is when they made Cartman into Dog teh bounty hunter. he's spray bear repelnt in somebodies eyes and tell them to "go with christ, bra"
-
That being up for nearly 24 hours and getting stuck in an Airport for six of those hours due to weather would make one's spelling improve. I guess not.
-
so can't post any more. Fucking work.
-
There's a Donnie Yen movie coming in your kit.And don't waste your time with Dragon Tiger Gate. It tries really hard to earn worst movie ever title.In fact, let me do the driving. I'll supply you with the Donnie Yen movies worth watching.I'll also supply you with The Hammer if it becomes difficult for you to procure it.JPT is under surveillence from the IT department so his internet time is now strictly limited.
-
WHERE'S THE NEW TWITCH- CUNTS.

It's like wading through molasses getting this fucking thing to reload.

I love that Jarv is subjecting the Mrs. to Outlander
by hawaiian organ donor
Even though she expects it to be low-falootin' dopey crap.Now I have a craving for expensive liquor.[Spoken like Morgan Freeman in Robin Hood]: Thank you very much, Englishman. You've just screwed me of the last few bucks I had in the bank. And guaranteed a hangover tomorrow.
-
I did a review of the Hammer/attack on geeks for not supporting it thing for Mavra's place. Since you are the only other person here besides me who has seen it, you might appreciate the take I had. It'll probably be up later today or tonight.Where the hell is drunk Chipps at? he should have his load on and writing about now.
-
I remember many years ago I got into a argument with some cretin at a new year's party who tried to convince me Johnnie Walker Black Label was the best whisky on the planet. I was infinite sheets to the wind and argued back that the only Johnnie Walker I'd touch was the Blue Label.Years later I look back and think to myself, what an idiotic argument. WTF do I know about the good stuff anyway?
-
I may actually have to do some fucking work. And there isn't an alternative home. I've just been reading the Bruno TB and I'm (again)disgusted at some of the fuckers that pollute this site.
-
and got so shitfaced that I can't remember damned thing about it. I was in a "society" at University where all the whisky reps used to turn up and get us shitfaced.
-
I realize it wasn't given the proper exposure from the studio, but the critics should have embraced it more and pushed it on the public. I'm looking at you, Harry.It might actually be my number one or two movie from last year.
-
Is Dragon Tiger Gate really no good?The trailer I saw looked mint. Some dodgy haircuts, but the action looked great.And The Hammer would be much appreciated. I've looked around, but as per the above post, all I've found so far is a sledge hammer, which I'm tempted to order just to see the look on the postman's face.
-
Mar 27, 2009 8:01:30 AM CDT
I second that. Where's drunk Chipps at?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Whoever the bastard is that turned me onto Hendricks and cucumber is a complete bastard. I'm addicted to that bloody expensive drink now. I think it was Hobocode. Bastard.
-
He's one of the originators of our little group. It's not the same without him.I don't know that I could cope with work without the Ain't It Cool. In fact, how I managed for so many years with no internet access at all is beyond me.Oh, wait. I remember how I managed. I got drunk a lot.
-

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Bastards.
-
I'm in a filthy fucking mood. What the fuck is a Hendricks and cucumber?
-
Ridley Scott's doing Monopoly. Gore Verbinski is doing Cluedo. And, holy shitballs this may spell doom for the planet, Michael Bay is doing Battleships.Surely this is Hollywood finally reaching the very bottom of the barrel?
-
for newt Twitch - so, long way to go yet.
-
Obviously not.Outlander tonight - unless I go to the pub.
-
I have half a bottle of Kahlua left, so another night of Film + White Russians is in order, and it seems appropriate that it be another one with Jeff Bridges.Also, ahem, Lauren Graham is in it.Worth a look?
-
is gin and tonic with a slice of cucumber. It's ridiculously fucking good. Also bloody expensive. But ridiculously fucking good. See my dilemma?
-
Yuck. Fuck's sake I thought the new Twitch was due this week.
-
fucking hate them- seriously. My computer was fucked so I rang the tool, and the cunt said "try turning it off and on again". To which I replied "I've already fucking done that, and it's still fucked, so how about you come here and do your fucking job and fix the cunt" I got a disciplinary for that one.
-
half a bottle of Kahlua as well. And Tequila. And a tub of popcorn. I'm laughing, basically.
-
But Hendricks is very very tasty. Tonight there be a drunkening.
-
I think we've all had various problems with them. I can't get on zhura (and I can't get them to fix it as that's a dead giveaway taht I'm not doing work)- and the cunts put me on Quota Time for fucking yonks. I hate the cave dwelling little unhygenic sweaty cunts. A pox on them.
-
Mar 27, 2009 8:23:39 AM CDT
I haven't had Kahlua for a long time
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Apart from the occasional white russian. Tequila is a big no no since i recieved a dirty bottle from mexico that i proceeded to drink within 24 hours.
-
I've got a bottle of Sainsbury's finest cooking vodka, 2 litres of full-fat coke, 12 Guinness and 4 Kronenburg. Fuck food.
-
I'm amazed this site isn't blocked at work. Even IMDb is blocked. Fuck knows why.
-
This bastard will be up to 3000 by next Thursday, which these shitty computers here just can't cope with.
-
It makes me spew.
-
fuckheads can do to me- it means that I've only got 1 hour of internet use per day for "personal" shit.
-
This kids a genius: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/blog/2009/mar/24/penis-drawing-roof-google
-
But I draw the line at Sainsburys brand alcohol. You're on your own there Jarv.
-
so we're stuck here.
-
Luxury. I get 10 (ten) fucking minutes. I just don't bother.
-
Beer does me fine most of the time.I did get horribly, horribly plastered on Long Island Iced Teas one time. We were at a bar with a buy one get one free offer, and I just kept going up and buying two for myself.Those cocktails are damn dangerous.
-
Another mistake. It didn't have that throat-burning effect that normal Tequila has, so I kept drinking and drinking and drinking; then later I was vomiting and vomiting and vomiting, and it still tasted like bananas.
-
I love that it was there for a year before the parents found out.
-
First time I had them was 2 for 1 and my mate knew the chick behind the bar so essentially 75% of the glass was alcohol. I remember talking the cabbies ear off on my way home. That's about all. I also went to a bar that had a 5 minute offer where if you bought 5 shots of Tequila (for $15 aussie bucks which is about 6 quid) and drank them one after another, you would get 5 free. So I did that, sang karaoke and woke up on the front lawn of a neighbours house.
-
Tried sleeping this cunt of a hangover off, didn't work. Headache is still there.
-
any big plans for the weekend?
-
$120 a glass!
-
Niiiiiiiice.
-
Yeah, two doors up from my house, which is four doors from the corner where i was dropped off by the taxi. I made it half way home.
-
Mind you, this was after I woke up downstairs in the living room next to a puddle of vomit. I got up to go to bed and decided to brush my teeth. Next thing I know, I woke up beside the toilet. I guess as soon as I got upstairs, I passed out. I have no idea how long I was laying there. So I got up, started brushing my teeth... passed out and was woken up up by a loud BANG- that was the sound of my head hitting the back wall as I was passing out and fell down. So I Stood up and tried to brush my teeth once more and felt myself staggering backwards once again. So I quit that attempt at brushing my teeth and crawled into bed.
-
I made a reference to Widmore's Scotch of choice, and someone got it. Made my day.
-
That sounds ass.
-
I rewatched the episode last night with my gf. Was glad to see the McCutcheons make a return appearance.
-
I think I was drunk at the time, looked at my glass, and said 'there's no Scotch like McCutcheon Scotch.'
-
I've got that saved on my DVR maybe I should watch it as well.
-
Fucking cars. Worse than the ones of Mario Kart that create so much polution that clouds appear and start lightning-bolting everything.
-
Was ok, not as good as last week. The killing of the guy from Saw only proves that Brian K Vaughn reads comics. Which would include the hottest comic right now Crossed.
-
Is showing at the theater up the road? Why? Should I go?
-
Cat Shit One, man that was SOOOO like Monday.
-
Jarv has a few that are classics. And the rest of you are coming up with some gems.I mentioned it before but I only have one of merit. Woke up (after a night of epic drinking) in the back of a police car with my friend. My leg was gushing blood on his floor. Passed out and woke up sometime later in a hospital room with a nurse hands deep in my calf sewing together my severed tendons and jagged flesh. Woke up in the morning with my leg wrapped up like a mummy. I lost so much blood, and the jammy bastards didn't give me a transfusion, that for the next couple days I was so lighted headed I'd pass out just standing up.
-
Were you playing around in the trolloc pit after getting intoxicated?
-
Keep in mind I have zero recollection of most of the night. But as near as my friend and I can piece together, I put my leg through a window trying to kick it out. Why would I do this? One too many Smithwicks I presume.
-
I need to get home to start my drunkening. This seems like the longest day of my fucking life. And I'm disappointed that despite the promies of a drunken Chipps, he hasn't made an appearance. Bloody Queenslanders. Unreliable bunch they are.
-
my favourite drunken story comes from my first year at University. It wasn't me sadly, but it's an absolute classic. One sunday in the first term all the students follow this tradition that dates back to antiquity, but has become somewhat perverted. Basically, you get 2 year 3 students to "adopt" you and then they get you fucked up on this day. Anyhoo, this American exchange student tried to keep up with us and he got, well, fucking annihalated. We called an ambulance and got his drunken ass collected. The town I was at university in didn't have a hospital, the nearest one is in a city about 20/25 miles away. Anyoo, they take the silly bugger away, and we don't think anything of it, until the phone goes at 5.30 in the morning. It's a collect call from a payphone in Mcdonalds, and he wants collecting. So, despite being hammered, I hop in the car to pick him up- he's standing in Mcdonalds in his hospital gown with his ass hanging out of it WITH THE FUCKING IV DRIP STILL IN HIS ARM- he's got the fucking stand thingy and everything. The silly twat walked about 5 miles dragging it with him. Needless to say, I took him straight back to hospital. Chocolate sweetie if you guess what university.
-
which rocks. I'm really the worst employee ever,
-
Only one I can remember is about six weeks ago, I think. I got drunk watching Tropic Thunder at a Uni event, then went to Co-Op to get more beer... and pringles. I drank and ate it all, then looked down and saw my shoe-laces were untied. So I lent down and tied them up, then smacked my head on the desk, cutting the top open. I yelled 'KHAAAN' and ran into the bathroom. Saw the cut, shrugged, went to sleep.
-
Mar 27, 2009 10:37:08 AM CDT
I'd guess somewhere like Kent or Swansea
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But bugger me if I can think of a Uni town without a hospital. Thought they were built in pairs.
-
Went to a houseparty which was a cocktail party. By the 6th round of cocktails we put the challenge out there to see who could design the best cocktail. My go was essentially 99% alcohol, 1% not sure. It was tasty for about the first two sips then absolutely sickening. Unfortunately the deal was you had to finish your own drink. Woke up on the bathroom floor that night.
-
In the words of Twin Town: Pretty Shitty City
-
Surely they have a hospital.
-
I guess the Stroh night was a good one. We all wanted to watch The Mario Bros film, so we started mixing Stroh with whatever we could find. Fucking hilarious.
-
been told I can leave at 4 today. Going back to the pub in 10 mins
-
Frankly. And I'm far too fucking lazy for Cambridge.
-
New ones for the 6th movie just came out. Every year these come out I FUCKING HATE EVERY SINGLE ONE. Why can't they hire someone to make a poster that actually looks and feels magical, like the hand-painted one by Drew Struzan for the first film? Every single poster since the first movie has been nothing but a "Here's a shot of a character standing with his/her wand at the ready with against a bland background" They're all so damn bland and mediocre. If you didn't notice the kids growing, they'd all be interchangeable no matter what the movie was. The posters don't tell you shit other than "Hey, its Harry Potter". Fucking amateurs. Its disappointing because its got potential. And they completely squander it.

Drunk Driving Stories (completely idiotic)
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Got home from the pub with a mate and he requested to be driven home. I drunkenly obliged. Upon my return home, I drove straight past my own house. So instead of slowing down, and popping a u-turn I decided to pull the handbreak and snake my car about 40 metres up the street. Then I chucked it in reverse, cruised backwards up the street and swung it into my driveway where I slid it into the worlds smallest parking spot, centimetre perfect. Brought some random chick home from the pub, banged her and made the mistake of offering her a ride home (i just wanted to be rid of her). Hopped two curbs on the way to her place and was doing about 120 in a 70 zone before I had a snap realisation of what I was doing. I've never driven drunk again. It's probably the stupidest thing I've done.
-
Thank christ it's over.Cheers, all. I'm off to avoid bowling. Alternatively, if my avoision techniques are unsuccessful... I'm off to go bowling.See you next week.
-
Fuck I don't know.
-
I'm fucking stuck here for another hour. Have a good weekend. Cunts.
-
Hospitals all over the place!I'm offended.Also, I'm really going now.
-
see you on monday. Cricket is a fiasco. And no to both of those.
-
that should help you. Small town, old, posh, really famous.
-
I was joking up above in case you can't tell (again). I have been in a good mood all spring break.
-
And everyone here delivered.Mr. Z gets my award for most imitable moment as I plan on looking skyward and yelling "Khannnnnn!" next time I injure myself under the influence.Come to think of it I broke my toe while drunk too. Same leg, about a year before the other incident.I know SFA about English schools but I'll guess Jarv went to Wolverhampton.
-
But if you poo-poo'd Cambridge it can't be that. No offense Frankie. I'm clutching at straws.

English cricket is a fiasco, Jarv.

I've never been drunk, at least to my recollection.
-
Ive never been drunk to the point of passing out or anything insane.
-
so did you read those two issues of Bang Tango?
-
Senior year of college, final semester, was extremely busy for me. The last week, I had my final project for media production due. That meant I had to shoot and edit a 5 minute plus story from a script I wrote. I also worked in Student Television and we had our Awards Show that friday night after final classes. For the awards show, all series within STV are responsible for making a short spoof of another series. I co-produced a show, so I wrote a script for a spoof of the soap opera series. I worked on another show whose producer couldn't come up with a script, so I wrote the spoof for that series as well. So basically here's the deal: I had one week to write, produce, shoot, and edit 3 different shorts- all of which were due on Friday, and I had to do it in between classes, homework, and other final projects. Also, my co-producer on the show RAVE was with me in my media production class, and both he and I were starring in each other's final project. So I had to add acting gigs to that long list of shorts I had to make time for. What ended up happening is that Dave (co-producer) and I got ZERO sleep that week. Our editing machines in STV were often taken up by other producers editing their stuff, so we had to find a balance between using the computers in STV and the ones on campus for students in media production classes. I'm getting a bit long-winded here, so let me try to sum up: tuesday, wednesday, and thursday night, Dave and I probably got 5 hours of sleep. By the time friday rolled around, I had been up for 36 hours straight. Sitting in front of a computer, waiting for footage to render, I started hallucinating, seeing shadowy bugs crawling all over the walls and keyboard. When my head started to nod off sleepily, I immediately jerked up and looked around to make sure no one had noticed me falling asleep (as if I was in a lecture hall, even though this was at 3 am). Dave and I pulled through and got our combined 4 projects finished. We edited our final media projects, turned those in and arrived late to the screenings of everyone's final. Then we rushed back to STV to finish our spoof shorts for the awards show that evening. We hurriedly finished that, output it to tape and then RAN to the awards show, having no time to shower or clean up after being awake and working for 36 hours straight. The awards show went great. I won 2 or 3 awards for Best Episode, Best Montage, and Best Editing I think. But after the show is the after-party. Which is where trouble began. I grabbed a quick shower and went to Dave's house. I quickly took a shot of vodka and then started on some vodka drink mixed with fruit juice and started talking to a girl about movies. This is within the first 15 minutes mind you. Shot + mixed drink. And that's the last goddamned thing I remember from the entire night. The lack of sleep mixed with small amounts of alcohol totally fucked me up, and all I could do after was listen to people's stories about me. I was wearing a terry-cloth "towel shirt" that night, and apparently at some point I was sitting in a chair and some girls were giving me a massage. Well one chick who's had a crush on me for years started massaging me but was doing it too hard, and Im told I looked like I was going to puke. So I threw her hands off me and told her to stop. She got all upset and jealous saying "oh, its ok for these girls to rub you but not me?" Now, I'm a really nice guy, from what people tell me, so if I did that, its because she really was making me sick. But next, I'm told, I just looked up at her after she said that and I replied with all the seriousness I could muster: "Jenn? Go fuck yourself," which shocked everyone and made them laugh. A ditzy blonde said "Maybe he just thinks you need to 'get some'?" which totally embarassed Jenn, causing her to run off crying. I of course don't remember this. I woke up in my bed with my pants on and shirt off. I asked this girl I had been sleeping with what happened. She told me the story and told me that she drove me home. When we got to my dorm and she opened the backdoor for me, I just fell out onto the concrete like a ragdoll. She had to drag/carry me up the steps to the dorm and into the elevator where I just collapsed like a sack of potatoes. I wish someone had taken pictures of that night.

Turns up nothing in Google.Jonah, if you show up for my version of Butt Numb a Thon, we'll rectify that. I won't get you stupidly wasted, but rather to the point where you giggle like a schoolgirl.
-
That's always amusing.
-
I proceeded to inquire to the three girls I was drinking with if they would like to make out with me. One at a time, including the one who was already puking in a garbage can. then I guess one of them grabbed me, pulled me back to her dorm room, we had sex, I passed out, woke up, stumbled back to my own bed and went to sleep. That was really it. I think I told that story before though.
-
I agree about the Potter movies. Why the hell is there ever any hype around any of them at all? They're boring.
-
Begin your drinking journey in Itally. I recommend Camp Darby if it still exists. Get so blotto that you end up going, but not really remembering how you got there, to The French riveria, The Costa Del Sol and few others places.Make sure you put the Ugly in Ugly American by getting into fights along the way. Start your trip with one girl, lose her along the way, get another and bang some more along the way.To top it off end up in some hill town in Greece trying to get to Sparta in order to fullfill some demented fetish/dream. You won't realize your dream because you got into a fight with the local lawdogs. This is a spectacularly dumb plan because Jonny Law carries a hard wood billy club about a foot long and four inches in diameter with lead in the end. Plus the cops LOVE to use them. That's the worst part of the whole trip, waking up from the drinking while gettin wailed on with big sticks. Drinking will soon cease after that.
-
Yuck. Now she's dieting and getting smaller, like Lindsay Lohan. I've lost respect.
-
I don't know why they are showing Conan? It is the same theater that showed Outlander? Maybe the owner likes Viking movies? I want to go, but the lady friend is like, YOU OWN THAT MOVIE. But I'm like, I'VE NEVER SEEN IT ON THE BIG SCREEN! Kind of ironic because my brother sent me a facebook message the other day saying: Best T-shirt ever, and it was a Conan t-shirt with the greatest first words ever written on the back and on the front it says Conan knows what is best in life.
-
The movies I mean. The 3rd one was still the best, and as the stories progress, their potential to be fantastic films grows. And yet they still screw them up. But the posters- they're just so damn cheap! I don't understand why you'd try to sell a fantasy film series by NOT showing any of the fantasy and magic? How have they not gotten tired of the same damn poster for every film? Its fucking lame. Whomever is in charge of that should be fired for being creatively braindead.
-
Went to that a few years ago. At the opening ceremony everyone gathers in the town square and on the streets with cheap bottles of champagne and cans of cream and basically when it hits noon (i think) everyone goes nuts and sprays everything on everyone. Then when everyones soaked with champagne and covered in cream out comes the booze and everyone gets shitfaced. At some stage in the afternoon I lost the crowd I was with and fell in with a group of french people who were feeding me vodka quicker than I could drink it. It was blazing hot and by about four I was taking one step forward, two steps right. I was staying at a camping ground just out of town and I had the sense to grab the next shuttle out of there. I got back, had a cold shower and passed out for about an hour. I then woke up, got cleaned up and went back into town. After about three hours sleep that night we all went to town for the first running of the bulls (it's at 8am). I didn't sleep for the next 52 hours. Unless you count falling asleep with my arm out, leaning on a street bench, successfully hailing a cap. If anyone hasn't been to San Fermin for the Running of the Bulls I highly recommend it.
-
1 and 2 come off as cheesy 80's style movies and are kind of fun but lame. I really liked 3. 4 though my god SO lame and gay. Like me and two of my buddies liked 3 a lot so we went to 4 opening weekend, during that lame ass prom scene we almost walked out. 5 I saw with my mom because she reads the books (or tries to gets bored half way) in IMAX. I was ok, like a bad action movie. Don't really care about them and really don't understand why they are so huge.
-
That was the funniest thing I've read today. Put the UGLY in UGLY AMERICAN - bwahahaha
-
They are really bad, except for the first couple. Like the posters for Harry 2 they tried. But now its such a thing everyone knows about that all they have to do is put the faces out. I mean this is a pretty good one. http://tinyurl.com/dycjp8 I like this one http://tinyurl.com/d5xvl8 This was the main one I was thinking of http://tinyurl.com/c2fer8 But all the new ones suck.
-
I'm off to hopefully compile another drunken story to my repertoire. Have a good weekend, chaps.
-
Sucks balls. Don't waste your time. WOW leaning tower of Pisa! A line of vendors selling Pisa crap a mile long. When in Italy go to Rome and that's all you need.
-
I have about a good 2 months of my life I can't remember because of blacking out so much.
-
Now I'm remembering the Uni night out when someone called me a Ninja, so I spent thirty minutes trying to do flip-ups, only to flip-up badly and end up falling headfirst into my room.
-
Two years back, I was pretty smashed that I went up and smack a bobby on his ass. He was probably drunk as well.
-
Was a night in. Superbowl 2006. I had thirteen Carlings left over from my 21st. Decided I should drink them all while watching the Superbowl. No idea who won.
-
I was AT Camp Darby when the story I told started and Rome blows.
-
Who doesn't have a "banged some random chick while drunk" story. What a sterile yawnfest of a life I've lived.
-
Obviously you've never been in Rome on New Years, there is not a better party in the world.
-
But I don't think any of them were random. All were friends and acquaintances. No one I had just met.
-
I don't have one of those either.
-
I think I've told this before but whatever. Me and my buddy were going to see Chevelle and Helmet in concert at Lupos in RI. We were bringing a friend who really only listen to bad country, but liked Chevelle and wanted to see what a "ROCK" concert was all about. I had missed Chevlle a couple years back when they were touring with Stone Sour, but their bus broke down and they missed the gig. But I got to meet the lead singer of Stone Sour/Slipknot afterward. So anyways I was really stoked about this concert because I've been a huge Helmet fan and to see that they had gotten back together and I was going to see them was awesome! So before the concert me and my buddy decided to try everclear for the first time, because we weren't quite 21 but the guy who listens to country was. We had him buy us beer, and he fucking bought us Rolling Rock Light (he didn't know anything about beer). So we killed that 12 pack but weren't anything, so we found some Everclear in the dorm room we were hanging out in and did a couple of shoots. Don't remember getting to the concert just remember being there and the warm up bands playing. SO me and my buddy (both rugby players, and in the pack) decide that we hate how no one moshes to the opening bands. We decided to start our own mosh pit which lasted all of 10 seconds at which time we clocked heads and needless to say...he won. I went into the bathroom with blood gushing all over my face, the concert venue called an ambulance for me, yeah I got to ride in an ambulance! And I got taken to the one of those ER busy busy hospitals, I was still pretty drunk. Got 11 stitches above my right eye. So I was released and walked out and had NO idea where I was in the middle of Providence. So I just started running down the street, and as luck would have it I just ran into the Lupos! They let me back in because they remembered me just in time to hear the last note of the last song from Helmet. So that sucked. Chevelle took the stage, and I decided to stand in front of the most pit. As they started rocking I started waving my hands in the air like I just didn't care. It was really loud and I guess this crazy bitch was getting mad at me because I was bumping into her and she fucking attacked me! She scratched my face and I found out the next day she ripped out three of my stitches. I went into the bathroom to try to control the bleeding, every one was like ARE YOU OK MAN, SHIT THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHRE. I got it under control and when I went back to the stage I saw the girl being dragged out by her hair by a bouncer, fucking crazy bitch.
-
If I remember correctly, all of us Z-divers(man, did that go the way of the dino or what?) saw pictures of your bleeding head.
Watching Dead Snow right now. Ahh, nazi zombies. -
My friend reread what I wrote. I never said Camp Darby was better then Rome. The story I was telling Jonah began at Camp Darby because that's where I was when I started that bender. Rome sucking is a completely different matter.
-
at Aint It Bale...Are you gonna give us reviews, or just rants?
-
Theres a good story in there I think. Love to see you do one and post it over at mavra's place.
-
If you ever need anything for Aint It Bale, give me a buzz. I think we can get a nice community of people doing stuff for both My Mavra and Aint It Bale.
-
Although my reviews are terrible. Proper reviewers know how to use snazzy lingo and discuss deep meanings. I can't do that. Either I liked it or I didn't.I can dissect at length why I didn't like a movie like The Dark Knight but that's not a review, that's rectum tearing.
-
So why does Rome suck?
-
Just got HOD's movie pack, that may have just sealed the deal on us staying in today instead of spending the $25 I won for writing Star City on movie and a dinner.
-
http://tinyurl.com/db8nq5 Sounds funny.
-
Yeah bleeding head in my Helmet hoodie I got.
-
Yeah bleeding head in my Helmet hoodie I got. at the concert
-
I kinda doubt it since I've been keeping pace with you in seeing these things. Just wanted to check so I didn't miss something.
-
is up over at mavra, if anyone wants to check it out. Cool little flick, that. Wish it had a larger budget though.
-
Second time round. Still a fun little flick. Better then Madagascar or Shrek. Still not Over the Hedge Level.
-
If I wanted to do time in an overhyped, traffic clog wasteland with bad air, obnoxious people and an overwhelming and pervasive sense of ennui, I would go to Las Angeles. I much prefer Northern Italy to Southern Italy but tastes vary.
-
You, JPT and Mavra will get something shortly. I actually have a few movies up my sleeve that you don't know about so I thought it would be a nice surprise.Series, I hope you put in TGTBTW tonight. Don't let me down!I think I'll write a token review for Mavra.
-
HOD pack Mongol Felon Open Season Glen Garry Glenross The Cars That Ate Paris. Finishing Casino Royale. SO MANY MOVIES! And gotta address save the dates all Sunday.
-
I don't how much more of this shitty filmmaking I can take. Its only been 10 minutes.
-
man, that is an awesome movie. I've seen it like three times since December.
-
Is that your better off going to Germany, food a lot better. Food in Northern Italy sucks.
-
I guess that makes sense?
-
I'm eager to get one of these starter packs everyone is raving about!
-
I'll put something together this weekend.Too bad we're so spread out. I can't imagine how insane a night of drinking and b-movies would be with this crew.The Bale site has brought out all my demons. Just when I thought I had supressed my inner rage-o-holic, DGDB pulls me back in.
-
your family needs you and we need to see that giant plesiosaur movie make it to the big screen.
-
It's still in background development as my partner and I frantically work on getting the mockumentary ready for re-submission.We've got the whole thing storyboarded and given it set pieces that would make Michael Bay yell at the back of his assistant's head to get us on the phone.Jonah, the second movie for the Arn trilogy, The Kingdom at Road's End is out in case you're interested. It's quite good so far.
-
Bust a deal and face the wheel!

It's 20:47 already? FUCCCCCCCCCK

Didn't you see Mutant Chronicles?

I saw headlines for reviews for Gattaca and a story by Mighty Joe Hallenbeck. And something about Good Will Hunting.

Find is a review for the Fifth Element.

Fred has been MIA for so long, that no Donor package will be forthcoming. Once again, Freds package is in a jar.

Fred gets the White Wizard part, but what happened to 'Jonah Echo'? What happened to DannyGlovers and Toadkillerdog, too?
Fred bummin about not being able to post. Fred feels Just Pillow Talks pain. -
Fred miss night crew buddies Mavra Chang and Therewolf.

you still around? one day I just wasnt able to sign into my Jonah Echo account anymore,and then I was off orchestrating a career change, and when I came back, I figured this new one suited me better.

he might be away. Danny's work doesnt let him post here, but he's over co-leading things at AINTITBALENEWS.com Wackiness I tell ya.
-
sucks terribly Series. It's just a lame duck from the word go. Awful. I hated it. Even with Perlman and Jane, it was a piece of trash.
Series, did you see my Burrowers review over at Mavra? That was a pretty cool horror flick. -
I'm getting into this audio/video reviewing lark.
-
I went up to scarbough and got drunk there with an old mate.
-
i realise i let the team down. i went up north to visit a mate. him and me and another mate used to share house together in a place that i referred to as 'the toolshed' on account of the fact that we are a bunch of tools. he was the last to move out of our share house (i was the first but i used to organise parties there even after i left - it was a three beder that we used on room to store our brewing equipment, and in this room 'the beer room' we had a bar with beer on tap like at a pub. in the end everyone called it the tool shed, but thursday i had to get my crap outa there cause even though we started the lease, only one guy there still knows me (and the idiots have converted the beer room into a bed room - fuck idjits) anyway went up north and had a big night with my mate, but tame for our standards, no real stories.
-
what the fuck is this? a scene from importance of being Ernest? The english massively over rate both gin and cucumbers. they are a second tier vegitible, certainly not worthy of a sandwich or flavouring for gin. in fact, fuck gin off altoghter (though i have had a few big one on the gin and squash - used to get these free drink hospitalitiy cards and on a couple of occassions i literally skulled a shit load of gin and squashes - you cant tast the gin so you can just knock back like ten of the fucker in a row, but that shit will take your legs away) any way i have a theory about gin. and rum for that matter. rum was the drink of the navy and gin the drink of the army. they'd fill your cups canteen before a charge. my theory is that it cause gin is such a filty discusting drink that half a mug full gin just pisses you off, and puts in a mood like a son of a bitch, ready to go out and hack some cunt to pieces. that filthy drink puts you in mean mood because it tastes so awful, hence it was the drink of the army. on a side note: churchill once said that the way to make a perfect gin and tonic was to fill your glass with gin, and glance briefly at the tonic on the other side of the room. also, rum was the first currency used in australia. and look at us now.

how about you come here and do your fucking job and fix the cunt
by chipps
i like your form.
-
i posted the penis story two days ago!
-
even if you are a victorian. that reminds me of the time i climbed up on the balcony of my neighbors house and bashed on their bedroom window , yelling at my missus to let me in.
-
i woke up beside the dunny this morning.
-
i vomited, then went to the shop for an iced coffee.
-
I usually drink whiskey straight up on the rocks.
I want to experience the flavor, not cut its nuts off with another drink mixed in.
But i have had gin, tonic, cucumber before.
By the end of the night, it was straight gin with about six cucumbers just crouched in the bottom of the glass.
I currently have been been drinking Patron straight from the freezer. good shit. -
Fuck Gin that shit is swill.
-
I think u and I are the only people on the internet to fully appreciate the beauty of James Garner in Tank.
Also this Patron is fucking amazing. -
naked, pissing blood and covered in glad wrap. it always takes a while to remember why, and the reason is invariably poorly executed nude run. the glad wrap is to stop the bleeding. anzac day is coming up. i make no promises but last year i 1)climbed 15 metres up a brick wall until an rsm yelled at me to come down 2)quasi illegally gambled in public (this is not so impressive because while two up is illegal the goverenment stopped charging people after riots in the 20s, so it is effectivly legal cause every year the government pretty much says any pub that dosn't allow it deserves to get trashed, and no copper would every arrest someone in the military for gambling on anzac day, this would be similar to arresting santa clause) 3)got chased by the cops twice, once for peeing in a church ground (i had to shake quickly) and once cause they were looking for me now 4)busted my ankel and limped for about 3 months while busting back into the military base where i was staying. the stupid part about this was that i did it about 20 metres from the gate, i just couldn't be assed walking. so, anzac day, it is a riot so big they call it a national holiday and give everyone who isn't urinating on a church a pass to do whatever the fuck they want.
-
It is the only drink I can't taste the difference on whether it is a $5 bottle or a $500 bottle.L
Maybe I just don't drink enpugh of it to develop a taste.
I truly enjoy the whiskeys though. For the price (a little expensive) is Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Blantons and Woodford Reserve.
Also Patron from the freezer with no ice and a small slice of lime sitting in the glass. -
It takes a special mind to comprehend the beauty of Tank...and James Garner.
-
Truly only a special mind can enjoy that.
I found it for $5 in the dvd section and watch it almost evry other weekend. -
then there's the Irish. Now THAT is great Whiskey.Ah, Patron, an an old old foe of mine. In fact the entire tequila clan brought me low on more then one occassion.
-
i have found a lot of drunken misunderstandings can be avoided by looking someone in eye and saying 'dude, let me stop you, seriously, i'm so drunk, i don't know what the fuck is going on.'
-
It's one of the greatest movies ever made. Seriously it is. The practical car stunts, Sheriff Buford T. Justice, Snowman, Fred The Enos boys, the music. I fucking love Smokey And The Bandit.
-
that is one fucking awesome burbon. my other favourite is wild turkey rare breed. good shit
-
After declaring "Yo quero punta grande!" to a Mexican doctor (and his date) at a house party we attended.
My wife was crying and saying "What's wrong with you?"
I know of some farmers that bought the big barrel from Lynchburg, which is full of whiskey and can keep a party going for years... -
sounds a lot like the ugly australian abroad. except the australian refuses to call people by their names and instead refers to people as where they come from. 'hey frenhcy! you know this guy. he's the austrian. austrian guy, meet frenchy'
-
now i'm thinking of sliding down the street and gettin me some of that fine drink.
-
Finally I find someone that can also appreciate Smokey and the Bandit for what it is.
Sheriff from Arkansas:"That is not germane to the situation."
Justice:"The goddamn Germans got nothing to do with it!" -

That's how I refered to anybody I met. Hey Brit! Hey Kraut! Not well recieved by the way, hence the fighting.

When Buford had teh kids lined up on Frog's car and he kicked one of them hard in the ass and says "That, was an attention getter" I've done that because of Sheriff Justice.

Smokey and The Bandit - top five funniest movies alltime
by toadkillerdog
Gleason slaughter's me every time I watch it.
Sally Field has a very nice ass, the Snowman and Fred (any relation to our Fred?) are hysterical. Burt at top of game, not obnoxious. The music was very memorable. The car was iconic! And Paul Williams was fantastic as little Ennis. -

Ha! Take that Toad! -
or try to tit for tat by calling me 'the australian bloke' which doesn't really worry me at all. i am from australia. the fights only tend to start when i get to use one of my favourite jokes which is - if a german takes exception to being called a kraut (or anything really) i then say 'well arn't you a sour kraut then' and i start refering to them as 'the sour kraut'

Best Catholic joke (I don't know why I am saying this)
by chittychittygangbang
A nun is asking the class what they want to be when they grow up..
One kids raises his hand and says "I want to be a fireman!"
The nun says "That is a good profession."
Another kid rasies his hand and says "I want to be a lawyer!"
The nun says "That is a good profession too."
All of the sudden a little girl in the back says "I want to be a prostitute!"
The nun cocks her head and says "Excuse me? What did you say?"
The little girl replies "I want to be a prostitute!"
The nun throws her back and says "Ohh what a relief! I thought you said you wanted to be Prontestant!" -
what a comeback
-
i have travelled quite a bit and it is my favourite city. we are catholic and we got to go to an audience with the last pope. when you do this they suss you out, and rank you, puting you close or far away from the pope accordingly. so we go to meet with this gate keeper dude who decides if you get to meet the pope. we sit down on this oak chair, us bogans from queensland and wait out side these big bronze doors. the swiss guard are standing there. dad is stressing and fussing (i was about 14) combing our hair telling us be on our best behavior. these big bronze doors open and the swiss gaurd usher us into this big room with this huge oak desk. on the other side is this important looking brother and another dude is leaning over and the dude sitting down is taking to him in italian. my brother and sister start squabling a little and my dad leans over and says 'quiet you two, were are on our best behavior'. at this point the important looking dude looks at us and blinking says in an australian accent 'is that an australian accent?' my dad says 'yes' and the guy says 'what state are you from' and dad says 'queensland' so the guys says 'oh, i'm from WA' 'oh really' says dad 'yeah, that's where i started as a christain brother' 'i went to a christain brother school' says dad 'oh really' says the dude 'i taught in a christain brother school in queensland for a while, what school did you go to?' 'i was the dux of st pats schorncliff' 'really? i used to teach there' 'what?!!?' 'when did you finish?' '1969' 'oh i stopped teaching there in 64''. 'youre not related to wally and danny finch are you' 'yeah they're my older brothers' 'oh really what are they doing with themselves now?' and dad gives this guy an update on his brothers in queensland who the dude behind the bronze door remembered well. consequently we were right up front, in front of the nuns from brazil.
-
two of four of mine are trashed but one of them wasn't serious. I had ASU winning it all.
-
in view of what i just wrote. i like.
-
I think Pitt is most vulnerable. Not sure if Fields is healed and healthy (he can't be really). Nova looks awesome. Louisville beat the shit out of an overmathed Zona (sorry Xi), but I think Nova might be the best Big East team. But if Pitt gets by them, I think Pitts goes all the way to top.
UNC goes down to Oklahoma. Connecticut gets bounced by mizzou -
But I had memphis beating mizzou, and Mephis beating Uconn. So, I am in trouble on that side. However, I am good to go with everyne else. I did have Pitt beating Nova, but that was before I saw how banged up Fields is. No way they can hang with a fellow Big east banger like Nova, or Uconn.
-
I'm a sun devil man!
-
Man does Mizzou look good. But i cant pick them I'm still smarting over getting let down by the football team
-
I think Uconn will try and overpower them. But I think Mizzou wins that game. Nova vs Louisville for it all!
-
I looked at your sites -they are very good. Mavra, yours in particular is beautiful and very fucking professional and easy to navigate.
Dickblood I like the energy and the edge behind your site -
Cavs all the way this year

Which might be a problem for the Huskies

As you can see, I am still around.

I'll have to look it up

And they give him a foul?

KU or MSU

it was good to talk you but i have to jet. Talk to you soon.

that will be a good one

All right Chitty - I'll neigh you later!
-
have a good one...
-
Haven't seen the review yet. I'll give it a looky loo.
-
I just found out from Ain't It Bale News that Howard the Duck came out? Why the fuck weren't other website's on top of this? Its because they aren't fucking professional.
-
Watching it now. Really different movie then I thought I would see, there is nothing really like it. Its bizarre, now I need to see Capote.
-
Since you dissapeared for a while and that stupid Wheadon show came out, Dollhouse. Where the main character's name is Echo, its really bothering me. Because so far the only real reason to see the show is because Doucheku isn't in enough stuff, other then that....nothing, I mean its better then the Terminator show...but shit Who Wants to Deal of No Deal is better then that crap (but I keep coming back? I don't know why I guess I just figure it'll be canceled show so I'll see it all or some shit).
-
Has made $80 this year in the box office and right now sits as the 97th highest grossing movie of the year. Probably was better handled then Outlander though.
-
Is the other guy that's not the real life murderer in In Cold Blood. Didn't really recognize who he has, name didn't ring any bells. Checked'em out on the ole IMDB and yeah I know who he is now, just didn't recognize him so young and all jumpy.
-
Am I the only person who really likes that movie? Even if Sly says that the director ruined it?
-
Is getting long and boring.
-
Thanks for visiting. Yeah Mav's site is looking really good now. We're trying to figure out how to organize our shit and make it a bit more presentable. None of us really know anything about websites....just trying to figure things out.

by dannyglovers_dickblood

....and he slammed the shit out of it and talked about what a misstep it was and how it wasn't anything like the source material bla bla bla....oh yeah, and the following week he pushed the Twilight Collector's Edition. Yeeeehah.
-
First off what the fuck you doing up this late? Coke? Secondly you ever heard the fucking Cure song from the ending credits of Judge Dredd? I don't know if the Cure have ever wrote a song for a movie before, nor do I understand why most people ate homos but will say the Cure is a pretty sweet band. But Dredd song is fucking classic, I love that song. I think its only available (legally) on the Cure's ultimate collection, like the cd set with ALL there songs on it. I wonder what they think of the whole thing.

I have a degree in Management Information Systems, and I don't know shit about web sites either, I do know about layout though and your is coming along nicely.

Just to see it, and me lady friend wants to give it a looky loo, but I missed having a DVD into Netflixs the day before it was released on DVD so I probably won't see it for a couple of months.

No. I am not on the coke. I just got home from being out....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...with friends and having drinks. Its only 1am. You fuckers are up much later than me most of the time. I don't remember that Cure song. But I've always loved them. Fantastic fucking driving music. Management Information Systems degree? What the fuck is that? Thanks. I'm still trying to find a better message board sorta thing for us. There are a lot of options.

Seeing that I am one of the 10 people that still watch that show, seriously I haven't ran into a single person that even knows about it? I finally forced myself to watch an entire episode AWAY from the computer, because usually I half ass watch it while dicking around the interwebs. Needless to say there was still 15 minutes left before I couldn't take it any more and had to do something with my life because I could feel it getting sucked out of me. I don't know what it is about the show, for the most part I feel that its more enjoyable then lost, except I can watch lost and not have to distract myself from it. Maybe I only feel that because I don't have to keep a notepad down as to what the fuck is going on, but Lost has gotten a lot more user friendly. The Terminator show started out to smart (and on a Monday night!) seriously smart shows on Monday, who the fuck wants that? I want dumb retarded shit an idiot could follow like Chuck and Heroes. But the Terminator show needed you to follow names and shit, but now that its on the death spot on Friday its been dumbed down a lot and is better of because of it. The biggest problem with the show, as it was exhibited tonight is that there is no humor to be had in the whole thing. There was a scene were Linda Hamilton was messing with Edward Furlong (sorry I don't know who the fuck the new people are, but neither do you so what should you give a fuck) and Edward is like what you are doing? You know there is no fun allowed on set! Ok gonna watch Felon now, can't take another boring For show.
-
fucking epic. If I could get it on my ipod I'd work out with it on full blast. If I ever worked out that is. The movie's whatever though.
-
I think the fat fuck from Office Space said it best: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
-
From 30 Rock (seriously am I the only one here who watches 30 Rock and The Office around here? They are pretty good right now especially 30 Rock, which will go down as one of the funniest shows in history and well deserved if only for Mocking Amadeus). Is getting a ton of TV work this week, Terminator/30 and appearing of the finally of Life On Mars. He was on Rescue me which should start up next month, finally FX with a new show since they fucked the Riches the channel putting out the best TV has been stagnant since Nip/Tuck had a lame Greys Anatomy ending.
-
I was listening to Rob Schneider on Howard Stern this week and he went on and on about how he thought this movie was shit and that he knew the first day it wasnt going to work because he thought the costume looked gay. He also had pretty funny story about how he needed Sly to get him into clubs.
-
Mar 28, 2009 3:27:53 AM CDT
Rob Schneider has one of the worst careers of any known actor...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...and he has the nerve to mention Judge Dredd as his bad film? What a delusional little prick. I'd love to take a croquet mallet to his fucking forehead.
-
havent seen that movie in fucking ages but I loved it when I was a kid.
-
I'm starting up Felon and there is a BLU RAY!!!! MOTHER FUCKER!!! Preview talking about all the cool shit Blu Ray can do, like a MIB trivia game, a Baron Munchausen pop up trivia, a virtual pet for some Loch Ness movie. While I would actually watch a Baron Munchausen pop of trivia thing you can do that with normal dvd (i watched the Striptease pop up trivia from the special edition version, yeah the one with the shot glass and boobie tassels, bought it for a friend as a gag gift), but I wonder who the fuck has all that time for all that extra DVD shit. I think the first DVD I got (Spawn) I watched all the special features and for the next ten or so. But then it starting declining, now its only a special occasion where I watch special features, shit I have whole sections of my DVD collection where the second disk has never been inserted. But who has time for all this extra DVD shit? I know HOD likes to listen to commentary as back ground noise, and maybe I am just on an intake overload right now. But I am always trying to watch new shit I don't know I keep telling myself these dvds will be good if I ever retire? By then it'll be something different though and I'll be that crazy old man with a weridly big dvd collection.

I think Dredd holds up a lot better than Demolition Man.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
I still live Demo....but it just feels really brief and small scale now. And the climax just sorta sucks. But its still fun.
-
Is perfect at least he'll admit that. But man Dredd was not that bad? I mean compared to Ghost Rider and Fan Four? Speaking of Rob though the movie he directed comes out or came out to rent soon/recently. Big Stan, you know the movie that almost killed him? I met him once on a USO tour he is so short, almost midget size. I mean he came up to maybe my nipples and that was back in like 7 or 8 years ago.
-
Said Dredd was the only movie he regrets, or he knew was going to turn out bad before it came out. I'll have to ask Josh Brolin what his wife thought about it seeing that she wasn't famous then. Sly blamed the director for it sucking but someone here told me that Sly was the one that said that Dredd have to have his mask off (in the series he never takes his mask off). So I don't know, but I can't believe he doesn't know about the three shells.
-
Was produced by the bad guy from Blade, I wonder if he was hoping for a bigger event then direct to DVD. Still waiting to see fat Batman.
-
Makes me not want to keep a bat next to the side of my bed. I guess a gun would be easier because I wouldn't have to catch the guy to use it.
-
just sad. He kept going on about how he's been rejecting scripts and had to spend alot of his own money to get the movie made so he could get his "vision" on the screen. He then goes to say it was pretty much his decision to release the movie straight to dvd as he didnt want the movie to be butchered by the MPAA. The saddest thing is that he couldnt even get Sandler to do a cameo.
-
Damn even Sandler is tired with Rob. She his last movie Sandler only makes a Cameo as a picture, at least he showed up for Dirty Work, though Norm was the funniest part in Biglow 2.
-
Mar 28, 2009 3:57:37 AM CDT
Bigelow 2 fucking sucked. It was too childish for me....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...imagine that. Sex jokes I got sick of. All those stupid Dirty Sanchez jokes at that man whore awards seemed to go on for fucking ever. I liked part 1 mainly because of that bad ass motherfucker Oded Fehr.
-
Remember much of Deuce 2, just that it was Rob's first R rated movie. And the picture of Sandler with the hand gesture picture.
-
Is fucking bad ass.
-
Mar 28, 2009 4:05:43 AM CDT
Oded Fehr!!! Fuck that dude is awesome. Almost a match for Brian
by odo19
Was he in Mummy 3?? If not then fuck that movie. And yeah Bigelow 2 was a miserable piece of shit. I didnt think Eddie Griffin could be less funny than he already was but...fuck...that movie showed me.
-
Mar 28, 2009 4:09:26 AM CDT
Yeah Eddie Griffin was a comedic God in The New Guy....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....if you compare it to Deuce 2. It proves that an R Rating doesn't mean jack shit for comedy. The first film and Sandler's earlier films fucking destroy it. The only thing that NEEDS to be R is motherfucking ACTION.
-
Mar 28, 2009 4:11:11 AM CDT
I don't think he's in part 3. But he is indeed bad ass.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Goodnight dudes.
-
He wasn't in Mummy 3. Only part worth seeing of that movie is the part with the Abominable Snowmen. Next saw the new guy looked pretty dumb, minus the Doucheku action.
-
I guess I'll be skipping Mummy 3. Might catch it on cable or something down the road though.
-
Ads for this work out video on late night tv? http://tinyurl.com/d5cslv

Its really bad. But this Felon movie, is worth a looky loo.

Rumored, and to be directed by Kurt Wimmer. Hmmmmmmmmm, Bale as Snake?

Has anyone played the original games for the NES?

On the Metal Gear Solid 3 game. Well got no PS3.

Mention of Metal Gear on here? Or did I miss it.
-
cage was over acting, especially at the start. it was good but it kept switching from suspense horror to 'day after tommorrow' disaster flick. the disasters came out of nowhere, and were prob meant to shock but they didn't, they could have done with more set up - where we get a second or two of, oh shit look what's about to happen. they didn't do this on purpose, but it didn't work. some of the scenes were really well done.
-
Scotish & Irish, all the way.
-
UPDATE: McG: Have you been able to talk to Bale about anything lately? Maybe I can put that together. He’s a fan of the site, so I’ll let you know. Reach out and let me know, just text me. We’ll be at Warner’s all week. Danny maybe you can set up an interview.
-
Was a bad ass movie. A must see. Fucking I never thought the black dude from Lost could act, this movie proved me wrong.
-
Mongol, pretty good movie. Its part of a planned trilogy correct?
-
Taxes suck. It keeps saying I owe money. I need to figure this shit out. I made less then $30K last year I shouldn't have to owe money.
-
Series, what's that bit from McG. What site is he referring to? Is that real, or something you made up?
-
Vikings. Aliens. Jesus. Great fun. Warmed to it slowly, sank a few Sierra Nevadas and just gave meself over to the daftness. Once they go down the well it sort of goes Alien 3 - I'm thinking the way the young Morwen(?) is running around on all fours.Also watched The Good, The Bad & The Weird last night. That too was immensely enjoyable. I've seen 'Clint' before, was he in Daisy? And 'Eli' - think he was in Host. That bit when he pops up wearing a diving helmet is top. Consider bollocks laughed off.
-
Cannot wait.
Have to get a wedding reception out of the way first.
hances are I will be three sheets to the wind when I watch it, but that may enhance the enjoyment. -
You'll love it. I'm sure you will. Being three sheets to the wind will be most acceptable. Enjoy the wedding reception!
-
Why the fyuck do we do that in the UK? Lose an hours kip! So, it's now 25 to midnight - but really it's 25 to 1. Rubbish.
-
I shall drink the finest molten hops that family can afford.
I will raise a glass and scream For Outlander! at the reception.
Then you will will hear the sound of crickets as poeple will wonder what the heck I am talking about. -
Please get some video footage of yourself screaming 'For Outlander!' And possibly falling over straight after in a drunken stupor.
-
Those ScriptGirl TB-ers are fucking insane.
-
Like a Thai Conan with knee-smashes to the face and elephant herding, ninja-fighting, river-pirating, khon dancing goodness...

"Am Now". Takes a swig and falls over, accidentally pinning Choopi to the dance floor as he furiously trys to gnaw his way through the flower girl.

I don't want to make a drunken ass of myself in front of one of the few women to not view me like a drunken hobo.
-
love a drunken ass.
-
Unless I feel like I need to. Talkbacks for those stories have gone down in recent months, and I hope it stays that way. The problem is, we keep getting new viewers who've never seen it and feel the need to post and the cycle perpetuates itself. I hate that shit. It doesn't belong on AICN. Its not original to the site, its attention-whoring: keep it off AICN.
-
Maybe the ones you know, the ones I've known aren't too enamoured by it.
-
I really don't want to screw another potential relationship up. Especially with how self-perpetuating the Script-Girl shite is.
-
just hoodwinked me completely. Lindeman's Kriek, a cherry beer from Belgium. Just flicked the top off it - and there's a cork! Cheating bitch!
-
What is this, Ireland?
-
On the one hand, I want to give some sort of counterpoint to the lunatic TB'ers. On the other hand, I don't want to up the TB numbers at all.
Does Harry actually read emails sent to him? Like he gives a fuck! -
Harry can read?
-
Harry can read?
-
He reads only numbers, i.e. site traffic and ad revenue. Hence the weird misogyny-baiting that the ScriptGirl talkback has become.
Shit, hence the notion that people need to have basic info read aloud to them a la SG. -
Saw The Wrestler. It fucking rocked.
-
Woman love a helpless man. They get protective. If you're drunk and behaving like a cunt they'll steer clear, but if you're drunk, happy and slightly befuddled... won't be long before there's a female arm around you.
-
I don't want Harry to somehow profit from that bullshit. I can't believe he puts it up on the site. It really makes you wonder if she did a certain something something to stroke his ego. If it was original content made SPECIFICALLY for AICN, I wouldn't mind it so much. In fact, I miss Elston Gunn's weekly recaps where he did this very thing (script sales), only much much better, and he included casting notes and what director was hired for what project. That was interesting and informative.
SG, not so much. -
But I'm still wary of it. I'm a happy drunk mostly, but have been known to become a complete cunt on occassion.
-
but have been meaning to...Aronofsky's movies are always interesting, and I like that he's not afraid to change up the style from movie to movie.
Requiem For a Dream ended up a bit too heavy-handed for my tastes, but it was still really absorbing and innovative. Loved Pi. Really, just love to see a director with some audacity. -
That makes me want to do a spoof sketch. 'ScriptGuy' - a complete prick who thinks he's entertaining but doesn't realise people watch for trainwreck value.
-
Aye - it's got nothing in common with his other films.
-
I kind of felt unwashed after I finished watching the film, like I needed a shower. Do you know what I mean? I'm not knocking it technically - it was just a horrible experience.
-
The idea has been bandied about in talkbacks before. I'd really like to see someone do it.
-
That'd be hilarious.
-
were the mom parts. By far.
-
Yeh, she was great. When she's getting her dyed and she's going - "If this is red, I wanna know what's orange..." And the whole fantasy she goes through; it's really sad.I thought the music was good too, Kronos Quartet & Clint Mansell.
-
worked on the Fountain too, didn't they?
Plus they did some stuff with Tom Waits. Can't get much cooler than that... -
Think they did, with Clint Mansell again. Think they did something for Heat as well.
-
Goodnight, folk.
-
I think they did something with Heat I know Page Hamilton, lead guitarist and singer of Helmet had a lot to do with that soundtrack. I own it I'll give it the ole looky loo.
-
That thing from McG is in the interview with the guy from Up, like halfway through McG interrupts the interview to be a bad ass.
-
I fucking hate that shit. Who give a crap about WHAT scripts are being bought? Whoopdy do. Call me when they are further along in the process, or just put a fucking list. God I'm tired of EVERYTHING having to be a video these days.

They have GIZMO vs. WICKET on that link. Yet, how the fuck does he know that that mother fucking Ewoks name is Wicket! Favorite stuff animal, 2 foot tall Wicket.
-
They say Wolfman? What the fuck does Harry write for Yahoo now? No fucking way would Chewbacca loose to anything, that mother fucker's got WOOKIE RAGE!!!
-
Chewbacca would TOWER over the Wolfman. He could just put his hand on the fucker's head and watch him swipe away at a neat remove, with the option of incapacitating him at any time.
They got it right on Spock vs. Nosferatu, though. Even if they used the term vulcan death grip as though it were real. Spock would definitely win. Being a logical fighter is not a weakness but a strength. Can Nosferatu even drink green blood? -
Yeah you saw Mongol, what you think of that beast? Also is TGTBATW suitable for females?
-
in King Kong vs. Godzilla. Got to see it at a triple feature with the original King Kong and original Godzilla. Feel bad for the folks that didn't stick around 'til the end.
-
I think one of the few movies I actually cried at the end. That and Bambi I think.
-
I'd rather see those movies then Monster's Vs. Aliens. Especially Gizmo Vs. Wicket, that is the one where it really could go either way (also Jar jar Vs. Godzilla the dip shit could do something to screw Godzilla up. But I think my boy would fuck jar Jar up) I mean on one hand you got Wicket who studied at the Jedi Training Academy for Spear throwing, but Gizmo has seen all the Rambo movies at least 100 times and has studied the way of Sly. That is the fight I want to see the most.
-
I need to see that. You ever caught Godzilla Vs. Bambi?
-
ahahaha...I like how he gives himself all these producer credits and then gives his parents credit for producing him. And then stomp, thanks tokyo!, the end.
-
I have no interest in seeing that. Not a fan of that animation style. Too smooth and shiny.
I just don't get the appeal of that aesthetic. You see the same thing in a lot of comic book art these days, too, so it's not just a matter of it being CG. Why the aversion to texture? -
Ian McShane is a Viking on Spongebob. Spongebob marathon tonight.
-
What comics do you read? You like indies and shit?
-
I kind of run the gamut....I'm reading Y The Last Man right now, but trying to pace myself due to the expense of tpb's. Grabbed a few issues of No Hero but haven't read 'em yet....the art's pretty amazing though. The IDW Star Trek stuff is all really good.
When I was a little kid I was really into the EC comic reprints. But I also like me some Daniel Clowes, Charles Burns, Julie Doucet. Read Persepolis recently and was pleasantly surprised. How about you?
Really hoping Fincher follows through on doing Black Hole. Can't imagine how he'll pull that off, but if anybody can do it, Fincher can. -
FUCKING AMAZING MOVIE.Much thanks for that one HOD. That is the first 10 out of 10 movie I have seen in a long time. I think the last movie I saw I loved that much from start to finish was Miller's Crossing.
-
I need to rewatch this movie. I only saw it once and it was so long ago I mostly don't remember it.
-
If you're gonna watch it, just prepared to do something incredibly happy afterwards to help balance out the depressing ending. A couple episodes of Sponge Bob or a trip to the fair should work.
-
OHH man I am reading that right now as well. Its ok so far, but issue 3 just open it up and look at the first couple of pages. They are just pictures but they are fucking crazy.
-
what do you guys think of Lars Von Trier?
-
how did you manage to post your own stuff over at Mavra's place. I have an Ong Bak 2 review I want to put up.
Series, I liked Mongol alot. I think I stopped short of loving it, but still it was quite good. Asano really stretched his acting chops with that one. Very solid.
TGTBTW is suitable for alot of audiences. It's got a Raiders of the Lost Ark style of fun about it. It's goofy action, not somber asian pity party like alot of stuff. -
Hahahah I actually just read about that on IGN, never heard of it before but I want to check it out now. Fincher is producing a Goon cartoon movie right now though, haven't read it but I want to.
-
Dancer in the Dark is beautifully devestating.
-
it's fucking beautiful, right? I sometimes find Warren Ellis a little bit annoying, but No Hero seems worth it on the strength of the artwork alone. Texture goddammit! The weird repetition and fragmented look of it....amazing. Sort of reminds me a little bit of the way parts of Ronin looked for that reason. All these little bits in the picture.
-
I'm a moderator at Mav joint. You can send it to me if you want.
-
OH man. So I bought Dogville, because I knew it was going to take me a while to watch it. It littereally took me about a month to watch the damn thing. This is because I would only watch it when I didn't have anything else and would put it on in the bed and I would keep falling asleep. But man its a fucked up movie. I wanted to see it because I am a huge fan of Dancer in the Dark and Breaking the Waves was ok, not a huge fan of Emily Watson. I want to see the Idiots though. And I got Manderlay on my DVR to see.
-
I haven't read issue 4, but the lame cover with the boy breaking the car ala every action movie made in recent. But they just released like issue 3 with a Watchmen looking cover, and looks like they are going that for more of the issues.
-
Looks like Bale liked a bit of Emily Watson though. Never seen that movie.
-
could make an amazing version of Black Hole
-
Is on Broadway, I would very much like to see that. He is one of my favorites.
-
I forget them as soon as I leave the theater. I don't know anyhthing about Sponge Bob, I've never seen an episode.
-
You've never seen Spongebob? Damn how old are you, I was just watching Spongebob all morning.
-
but I thought Dogville was great. The credit sequence at the end with Young Americans playing over all the FSA photos? Genius. Same for having the weird moving-postcard-type-image chapter breaks with 70's pop in Breaking the Waves. Both pretty brutal movies, though.
After I saw Dancer in the Dark, some friends dragged me to a party. It was weird. Not a good time for a party. -
J.F. Sebastian is torturing Sayid? Cool. I can see where this is going though. Little Ben. Sayid and the chickens. Getting the book "A Seperate Reality".
-
Kids Choice Awards, yeah don't ask me. My lady friend wants to watch it, I'm just looking forward to the Madagascar Penguin Show.
-
Ahhh, I had to check. That's the wraparound. The copy I have is just dude crouched in rubble.
-
just think of it as a sociological study on kids today.
-
Yeah Mongol was good, just really solid. I liked that they actually had really massive amounts ot people fighting rather then CGI. Did you hear that its part of a Trilogy kind of like Goal?
-
I have zero interest in cartoons.
-
the Venture Bros?
-
Viva Pinata?
-
I've never seen Venture Bros. I do like South Park so it's not a hard and fast rule.
-
what's your email? Should I send you a pic for the review?
-
I sent an email to the the adress you provided at mavra's. I'll have to leave the picture posting to Herb and Mavra. I don't know how to do it.
-
I sent you an email back just a few moments ago. Theres a pic there too. Whenever it gets put up is fine. Thanks dude. I'm off to bed now.
-
Good luck with bed. Hope it goes better then last time. As for me I'm 30 minutes deep into the Good The Bad and The Weird. Now I've never seen the Good The Bad and the Ugly (nor any of the Godfathers or Goodfellas, so what) does that change anything? Because I'm enjoying it all so far, even if I had to take a dump break and finish off the Marvel Apes: Speedball one shot.
-
Reviews for 12 Rounds yet? What the fuck?
-
Its really 50-50 right now. Either the "Separate Reality" book is a red herring, and Ben ALWAYS had a scar on his chest from where he was shot by Sayid in 1977... or Lil Ben is about to die and we're gonna get some weird alternate timeline. I'm eager to see which way this goes, as there is evidence supporting either outcome.
-
NO ONE TOLD ME THAT THIS MOVIE HAD DEATH BY BUTT DART! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!
-
Its gonna end with Lock being dead surrounded by all the other characters and it was all in his head movies. I bet you dicks to doughnuts, there it no other logical way to end this shit.
-
Is the bad ass remote control device Jeffery Jones has in Stay Tuned? Anyone remember that movie? Its the only thing I remember Eugene Levy being in when I first saw American Pie.
-
just tell your mother we ate it. One of the funniest lines ever.
-
That chase scene through the desert with the Kill Bill music playing amazing. That shit needs to be seen to believe. I'm gonna rip a copy of this copy to send to my buddy in Alaska, he's gotta see this shit.
-
3 Extremes II? TGTBTW director did a segment on it. I need to see A Tale of Two Sisters, did they remake that shit in America as something else like Paul Blart: Mall Cop or something?
-
Mutant Chronicles if going to get a wide release? I will shit in someone else's pants if it does while Outlander goes the way of the do-do.
-
IS the biggest pile of shit attempt at "writing" I've ever read on this site. Its absolutely horrible. There are maybe 3 coherent thoughts in the entire, drawn-out, poor attempt at stream of consciousness, bullshit that is that story. It makes me sick that I actually read the entire thing because I had to go over every sentence 2 or 3 times to deduce just what the fuck Harry was trying to say. He really is a fucking moron sometimes.
-
Off to read that.
-
... I've been coming to this site since 1996. Seriously. When bullshit like that story pops up, it makes me rethink my life.
-
Okay - that has the worst flow of any article I've ever seen on here. What the fuck do Hipsters have to do with that film?
-
Just to confuse us. He deletes certain words from every sentence to make you wonder what the fuck he's trying to say. Nah, that gives him too much credit for his intelligence- which is clearly absent from that article.
-
A sentence like 'I woke up, and realised I was going to see a film today' would become 'I woke up... realised a film, today.'
-
'I wo e up... released a film, to ay
-
that's why there's no reviews here. That and WWE didnt pay Harry to hype it. Maybe they should have considering it's gonna bomb pretty bad according to early box office reports.
But I've seen it, in crappy bootleged stream form, so here's a review: 12 Rounds would have been pretty damn awesome and cool back in 1991, as it is vintage Renny Harlin stuff, with some decent action scenes. But for 2009, it looks stale and lame. And John Cena is good with the action but urgently needs some acting lessons, he's stiffer here than in the WWE where he isnt expected to be taken as seriously as in this movie. So I say you can pass on this one. -
Take this sentence for instance: "I love what newest in stores, albeit slightly aloof in my following of any modern clothing trend other that the ridiculously lost nature I find the person in the mirror wearing." WHAT?!
-
You're forgetting that most of us here (I think) like the action from the late 80s and early 90s.
-
Harry proclaims he is too cool for Star Trek? Unfuckingbelieveable.
-
I got through a few sentences, then I decided it was time to check the Twitch TB and see what was going on here. That guy just has had nothing important or worthwhile to say to anybody for the last two years or something.
-
That makes NO fucking sense, especially from someone who proclaims to be "Headgeek".
-
Yeah I love that movie. For some reason I kept thinking Xiphos was talking about the Hebrew Hammer whenever he mentioned The Hammer and I was like, eh that movie I've given it a couple shots (its on Comedy Central all the time) and I never really found it funny enough to sit through. But the Hammer I loved and my lady friend really enjoyed it as well. Adam Coralla actually used his own money to get the movie in limited release and at the showings he said that he would give people their money back if they sincerely didn't like it. Also the Mexican dude in the movie is Adam's friend from his boxing days.
-
It looks like his wife is pregnant? Maybe, she is younger then me have fun in that divorce.

writing addresses for save the dates.
-
Who is that?

Facebook it says one of his favorite shows is Star Trek.
-
hello

She liked it, which was nice. I never get tired of that movie. I loved the use of veteran kung fu actors in the lead roles.
-
Is infinitely cooler than AICN will ever be again. Thank Crom somebody's on track.

How did you manage to see Ong Bak 2?
-
What the hell is wrong with his RPG? Did they really think just having Turkish Rambo shudder, and then yanking off the plastic rocket with a string would work as a proper special effect? Amazing!
-
Japanese Spiderman shows? They are on Marvel.com for free.
-
Repo Chick!! It's got Xander Berkeley and Karen Black and a Giant Robot!! Please be good, please be good.
I have seen Repo Man countless times. Love that movie...it is Emilio's finest work. Fucking Awesome!! -
Like a Power Rangers show but with Spidey? Does he grow to huge sizes to fight monsters made from mutated trash?
-
Heel yeah!
-
That was great. It wasn't even animated in the Family guy style.
-
New episode of the best form of entertainment of any medium is on tonight. Breaking Bad continues to amaze. Gonna check and see what the fuck went down at the Lamehouse. And see if Kings can get better in this Bronze episode. Looks like everyone else has lives, or is having Family Guy parties for the new episode.

You shut your fucking mouth, you ruin one more mind blowing amazing joke from Family Guy, you better hope allah watches over because I will be coming for you.
-
Sorry, sorry. Mucho beer from watching the Elite Eight games.

A couple of weeks ago I was a savvy businesswoman (or something to that effect) who was hot for Media Messiah. This week I hear that I'm a lesbian who writes love letters to stripgirl. Wow. Crazy. Everyone knows that I'm madly in love with Dirk the Amoeba. Duh.
-
But he's really gone out with promoting. Thanks, whoever you are. Just please remember that the mavra site is all about the team. There's absolutely no way I could do any of that on my own. I am indebted to many people around here and I appreciate all of them.
-
I wouldn't take it to heart. JTC and JNR and DV are asshats.
-
Umm I guess Joss Wheadon is planning on this show getting canceled show. That are it was planed to only last one season. I mean the are jumping WAY too fast into the Dollhouse people getting their memories back, it looks like next episode may as well be the series finale (ala Life On Mars which will be missed). I don't know. Fridays episode was OK, stared off really good then just kind of went nuts and the explanation of the conclusion was weak. Like how they FIXED the problem was lame, they may as well just said, "Oh look it fixed itself". Something this show needs to do.
-
I thought it was just a bunch of Spam trojans that got sucked into the thing. I mean the shit said in there couldn't be coming from a working human brain, shit a working human brain knows better then to waste its time on that crap.
-
Did they fire the manatees and hire actual writers? Good for them.
-
People who don't find family guy remotely funny. I mean especially for geeks, the random fucking reference's are always fun.
-
The random refernces most of the time are just that, random. Sometimes they work most of the time they miss or are unfunny given the situation.

Mavs -- People say weird random shit about you....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....because they get real super excited once they find out you're a girl.
-
You don't like Family Guy? Wow I would've pegged you for a Fam Guy man.
-
Give Sleeping Dogs Lie. Its worth a shot.
-
And I wanted to talk about TGTBTW. Bango Tango needs to be discussed as well. Also if you aren't watching Breaking Bad, you need to go put your head in a vice grip and tighten because there is something wrong with you.
-
"If you aren't reading Ain't It Bale News you need to go put your head in a vice grip and tighten because there is something wrong with you," I would have put that on the home page. FUCK what a missed opportunity. Like a fine ass female that ends up having a dick and all I get is a damn H.J.
-
I would have totally been down to talk TGTBTW at any time.That big finale with all the armies colliding was just incredible. The balance of moments each guy got was perfect. Like I loved the "good" guy riding straight through the entire army and just taking out dozens of them. It was some epic filmmaking for sure.One of the little problems I had with the movie though was the revelation about the Weird character at the end. His "secret" was just kinda dumb, and by then I was bored after the much cooler action scene earlier. Still, I loved the rest of it so much it was hardly enough to dislike it at all.
-
A bunch of the guys I hang out with had a drunkening. At some point, the host decided he wanted to break away from the drinking to watch a movie. I offered to pick, and chose Batman Returns. Most of the guys in the room hadn't seen it, but within 15 minutes of the movie, everybody had their eyes glued to the TV. Finally, I will have more people in Eugene agreeing with me that Batman Returns is the best of the series.
-
They took away my Internet last night, so I slept in protest.
-
before most of the others arrived, four of us watched Harold and Kumar. I gotta say, it's much funnier in the right state of mind, but I still hope the sequel is an improvement when I finally see it.
-
Worth watching just for Neil Patrick Harris. That guy's hilarious.
-
This is going to be difficult this week. The TB is going to be like molasses. Anyway am up to a mighty 117 films having splurged at the weekend. I reckon I need to be at 120 before the end of March to make the big 500 at the end of the year, but I've got 10 days off from thursday to make an impact.
-
After an epic drunkening on Friday where I was still boozing and playing poker with mates at 9am saturday morning, I lazed away the weekend. Here's what I recall watching... TGTBTW *WARNING SPOILERS* - Pretty great. I have some minor issues with it, but overall lots of fun. Issues I had with it was it was too long, and a bit to repetitious. Also, the tone of the flick kept changing slightly. For the most part it was a pretty fun action-comedy. Then you would have moments of brutality that just felt out of place. The three examples that stood out are… 1. During the opening train sequence there is a shot of a guy getting shot in the head through the window and brains splattering all over the window. 2. The part where The Bad stabs the boss guy in the back of the neck was a perfectly fine denouement. It was unnecessary to have him still alive and The Bad finishing him off. 3. The part where The Bad cuts the absolute shit out of the sidekick of The Weird. Those parts felt out of place compared to the all the other violence which is over the top and cartoony. That said, it was more fun that 99% of Hollywood action-comedies I’ve seen in quite a while. Synecdoche, New York – I really don’t know what to make of this. Watched it yesterday. Still requires thought. All I can say is that it was never boring. Zohan – Incredibly stupid, but it makes me laugh. And Sandler hasn’t made me laugh for ages.
-
(using the parlance of our times)I'm on 120, although the last one (Derailed, with Clive Owen and Rachel Green, late last night) was watched through a thick fog of drunkenness, so I'm not sure if it counts.Does it count if I can hardly remember what happened?RZA was in it. I do remember that part.Feel like proper shit this morning.
-
Did you hear about that useless tit of a politican (Smith?) who paid for porn, or some such?
-
Infernal Affairs II - I hoped it might be surprisingly good since Jarv had set my expectations so low, but it was surprisingly boring and pointless. Nobody warned me it was a prequel. I hate prequels!Death Note 1 & 2 - Not bad, but it's one story stretched a bit thin over two two-hour films. Would have been better if they'd cut some stuff out and squeezed it all into one film.Flash Point - Mostly a bit dull and generic, but worth it for the climactic showdown between Donnie Yen and Collin Chou.Quantum Of Solace - Meh. The novelty of Bond as cunt has worn off for me. Didn't care about anything that happened in this film.
-
...but I'm not looking forward to it after number II, which was a real trudge to get through. And the trouble with boring Asian films is you can't half-watch them while doing something else. Stupid subtitles.Anyway, I hear it picks up Andy Lau's story again and is a proper sequel, so that's something.
-
so refused to watch GBW. Which annoyed me, but I'll see it when I'm off work. My list- (118- forgot one) Red Cliff 2- Brilliant, just sensational. OUTLANDER!!!!!- Ace. Hilarious, and almost good enough to make me forgive Wulfric for being in Shrooms. But not quite. Spirited Away- part of BBC4's Japan series. Mrs. Jarv loves it, so we watched it. Again. Ip Man. I quite liked this, Mrs. Jarv loved it. 50 1st Dates. The conversation about the difficulties of having this type of Amnesia was better than the film, which isn't hard- the film was shit. Addams Family- I actually quite like this. Which is just as well, seeing as it's on Film 4 every weekend. Marked for Death- arguably Seagal's best film. Troll 2- Hi-fucking-larious.
-
3 is better than 2. Not that that's saying much. Jaqui SMith is a cunt. How the fuck dare she put through any of this shit through expenses anyway. The best thing about this story is that it's porn- and if you've seen the state of her, I agree with him- I'd rather spend an evening thrashing myself on the sofa to porn than even contemplate stuffing that fat bitch.
-
I gotta hop a greyhound to the land of commerce and greenery.
-
If you're interested, BBC2 are showing The Wire from the beginning starting tonight. I think it's going to be on every day, pretty late, but worth a record.It was damn nice of the BBC to realise that I wanted to watch The Wire again but didn't really want to shell out the cash for the DVDs. Damn nice of them. Makes me wish I paid my license fee.
-
fuck's sake. I'm thinking about the Anime column. Because no cunt ever reads that.
-
Pah. I still haven't seen it, and I'm starting to feel like the kid who gets picked last for the football team. I'm standing here, all on my own, and everyone's seen it but me.Should be here soon, though. I am confident HOD will not let me down.
-
and I'm fuming at the time The BBC are putting the Wire on. They're such fuckheads
-
which reminds me- Donor, email me your address. Ta.
-
Recorded that one. They don't have a copy of Howl's Moving Castle up my local Blockbuster, so it looks like Spirited Away will be the Miyazaki film I try during Asian season.

I tried to read that thing about hipsters Harry wrote
by franklin t marmoset
I made it halfway into the second paragraph and gave up.I don't get it. Even chimpanzees will improve at tasks through repetition, but after all the years Harry has gotten no better as a writer.
-
Serves me right for criticising someone else's writing, I suppose.I, too, am dumber than a chimp.
-
The thing is, I've now seen it loads of times, so I'm not sure how reliable I am with it. It's an odd little film, slow moving, pretty, otherworldly. Alice in Wonderland was a good analogy.
-
don't encourage that shit Zed.
-
Damn it. I actually agree with AnimalBraneBalls in that one. Shit, I'm going to go away and cut myself and hope the evil bleeds out.
-
some turd on the shitgirl TB called Mavra a lesbian stalker. If I didn't want to keep the numbers down there I'd fucking have him for that.
-
blows. Fucking horribly. And Seth McFarlane looks like a fat down syndrome turd.
-
shall we go and resurrect a really old twitch? one that we didn't post on? Or would that get us the ban hammer.
-
which was great again. Far and away the best thing on telly.
-
Someone told me that you braved the slime pit in my defense. Thank you very much! That was good of you. I'm lucky to have have all of you guys as friends. I'm trying to figure out how my not wanting to interact with certain people (MM, SG) keeps becoming interpreted as being in love with them. It's a conundrum. Besides, how would I have time to stalk her when all of my free time is spent stalking Danny?
-
de nada- how fucking dare that weasel attack someone that doesn't post there? (to misquote scarface)- I do that kind of twat for fun
-
and the comments and someone notes that it was alleged to be a predator rip off. I think this is a bit unfair- it robs from about 5 different places- Predator, Alien 3, LOTR and Beowulf (obviously) and I'm sure that I've seen that fire pit trap before. I don't care, it's the best B-movie I've seen in yonks and a pox on Harry for ignoring it.
-
He always tells me where he's going so I won't lose him. Stalking for Slackers 101.
-
FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK that SHIT. I'm going to go verbally bitchslap some of those twats!
-
Not acheiveing anything today.
-
Jarv summed it up succintly, I threw in a final 'fuck off.'
-
but I have a few on the roster today between work.
Over the weekend I saw...
Dead Snow- this is the nazi zombie movie and for the first hour it's a complete disappointment as dopey, unlikable med students hang around in a cabin putzing about until they are taken out by zombies in nazi uniforms. I was seriously close to just giving up on it-I was getting an almost Shrooms-like vibe from it. Then, in the last 20 minutes of the movie, it kills all the characters except for two med school guys who rush out across a snowy expanse with mallet and chainsaw in hand as some crazy nordic pop song plays and the POV pans braveheart style from these two dudes to a giant army of burly nazi zombies charging at them in a line screaming! Everything from that point out is gold. Too bad it's about 20 minutes of a cool schlock movie attached to an hour or so of bland generic crap.
Ong Bak 2-Except for the very, very end, it's aces. Jaa's best yet. My review is over at Mavra.
By, Bye Love-my wife wanted to watch this. Little Eliza Dushku. Paul Reiser. No thanks. Uggh.
Tale of Desperaux-surprisingly, this was a good little movie. Danny was right when he mentioned how it had a distinct visual look unlike the other animated films. It's not quite Secret of Nimh, but it gives off that kind of vibe. Which is a good thing.
Big Trouble in Little China- May the wings of freedom never lose a feather.
The Square-wow, this was quite good. I'll drop a review over at Mavra sometime soon. Same for dead snow. This is an australian crime thriller. Had some in common with A Simple Plan. Maybe better though.
-
I went in to stir up shit there - then got bored.
-
Wow...I've got real heroes! You, Jarv, GhostofRorschach, and, of course, Xiphos and Buffywrestling from the Dollhouse tb a couple of weeks ago. I feel, very, very special. GROUP HUG! Make sure that isn't read as grope hug...
-
How goes the hanging?
-
I happen to think Herc is wrong, and Foxxy Brown is cooler than Iron Man.
-
I don't mind people arguing in TBs, but to attack someone not posting there? Fuck that.
-
You saw Dead Snow? I'm dying to see that, even if it does have a less than stellar start. The trailers still won me over. Haven't heard of The Square. Sounds interesting. Btw, for those who hadn't noticed yet, Jonah is now a mod. Congrats!
-
That I would never add another number to the count there, so I won't post. Any tb but that one. Never that one again.
-
and I always feel dirty afterwards. It's bullshit. Hmph. I've got Rumblefish for tonight to take me to 119 and then I may give The Fall another try.
-
Sorry to hear about the shenanigans in the other TB. Truth is, I honestly don't ever go into any other articles here anymore. It's like when you go to visit a friend in a bad neighborhood. I hustle on in to the Twitch TB, and then slam the door behind me, slowly pulling my wallet of my mouth because it's safe now.
Anyway, it certainly sucks when the mouthbreathing C.H.U.S. (Cretinous Hateful Un-evolved S**t-sacks) catch wind of you. Back in the summer I had some degenerate razzing me for sniffing Mori's jocky shorts or something. It culminated in some embarrasing moment where Mori stepped up, told us how much he liked all of us, dropped a few more lines, and promptly never spoke to us again.
What I'm saying is: ignore them. This place is a snake pit, and it's getting snakier every day.
-
Send Dan in. He can be our Rambo, used for emergency situations.
-
A mate of mine just got back from Scandanavia and he said it's only the last 20 minutes of it that are worth watching as well. I still want to see it, because I'm a sucker for Nazi Snow Zombies. Mrs Jarv is pissed at me for Troll 2, though, because apparently it's arse. The end of it confuses me- it appears that his father and sister were Goblin's all along, but if that's the case then how come he couldn't see them. And I've got a new logic failure for Batman Begins: Everyone sprayed with the toxin nearly dies, but Crane gets sprayed and basically has a bad trip. How?
-
A guy made a post about me stalking her and wanting to bathe in her blood. It freaked me out and I said I was out of that one forever. In all of the bannings that happened over there then, he was not one of them (although I heard he was banned later for something completely different). That was even more disturbing.
-

I'm starting to wonder if Dan isn't also The Liberal Warrior
by lost jarv
dude writes like dan.
-
There's some sick fucks out there.
-
last summer when egg salad, cock tease and Lib Warrior were all going at it...Danny is talking, and makes some comment about CT lurking somewhere..and the very next post is "MMM...HMMMMM...FRESH LITTLE FISHES.." or something like that, and then it's Lib Warrior busting out of the wall like the Kool-Aid dude to chase him off.
At that point I suddenly wondered if all of them weren't Danny. -
I accidentally outed myself after only 2 weeks. I'm not organized enough to handle multiple names. Being Choopy for a little while was fun, though. I had a pleasant little chat with Wolf that way. I'll have to fess up to him sometime.
-
The thing is really quite polished as far as production goes. All of you zombie fans will want to see the last 20 even if they don't completely make up for the rest.
One of my fave bits was one dude getting bitten and contemplating sawing his arm off, not because they have seen their friends turn into zombies but because the movie geek told them earlier "don't get bitten...you will turn" based off his film knowledge.
Before he does it, his friend tries to comfort him.
"Wait, aren't you half Jewish on your mother's side? They wouldn't want to recruit you, would they?" -
That'd be hilarious, if true.
-
Not a fan. When you're as pimp as I am, only thing you got to worry about is Han Solo cracking you in the face for being a smoooooooth motherfucker.
-
honestly, the potential to succumb to homewrecker syndrome and start thinking that you're one of only 2 people in the room (when the other is DocP, who is actually mori) is too risky.
-
Sounds rock-solid.
-
I think it's more likely that Egg and CT were the same person(or at least two choats sitting next to each other at the library's free internet station) and that maybe Danny and Lib were the same guy. Danny's way of evening the odds without completely derailing whatever our conversation was.
Got no proof of it though. -
Bedtime for this Bonzo. Have a great day.
-
Watched it again over the weekend, and it's just top fucking notch. Seriously.And I watched Quantum of Solace last night. I'll have to watch it again, but the action was a bit choppy, meaning too much cut-cut-cut from one scene to another. Pull the camera back son, and let's see the shit unfold. I still enjoyed it, but not as much as Casino Royale. But I will have to view it again of course.
-
Uconn!Uconn!Uconn!Carolina is clearly playing the best however. Fuckers.
-
did you see my Ong Bak 2 review over at Mavra's place? Check it out. Not trying to advertise, just wanted to tell you about it but am too lazy to cut and paste.
-
But resurrecting an old Twitch would get us banned. But I'm willing to confuse everyone and pick a TB that isn't even on the charts and unlike us to populate and go at it.So we're almost all caught up on Outlander and TGTBTW now I see. And Jarv has experienced the beauty of the flaming boat kicks.I watched Ong Bak 2 over the weekend myself and I think I need to watch it sober. I was confused half the time and bored the other half. But Jonah's review has me thinking I need to re-evaluate.Marked For Death Seagal's best film? Finally somebody agrees with me.I also watched Yes Man over the weekend. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
-
when you've got a minute. Also, for something really funny- http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/mar/30/jacqui-smith-expenses-pornographic-movies?commentpage=1
-
My wife and I watched it pretty early Saturday morning, but I was pretty impressed with it until, like I said, it just up and ended..
I think they integrated the flashbacks into the film in such an understated way that it did make it hard occasionally to follow one event to the next. But I didn't find it's mix of action and story any more disjointed than Red Cliff, which I also love. -
Someone trashing our Mavra?
-
I think I prefer 1- I found the political intrigue of the first one more interesting, but Mrs. Jarv preferred 2. Flaming boat kicks for the win.
-
I sort of preferred the first one too, but they really feel like one story. I think the first movie did a better job of giving all the individual characters a chance to shine. I felt like some of my fave side-characters got lost in the sheer chaos of the big battle in the second half.
-
I liked it! It should be CoC viewing. It is a comic book brought to life on big screen. From frame one it never pretends to be anything else. Just a kick ass, bloody, bloody, bloody fun movie.
-
I thought the recruiting moments of the first one were aces and it had nice touches (i.e. running through the mud, fixing the flute) coming out of it's arse. Something about part 2 just blindsided me.The bit with collecting the enemy's arrows and waiting for the wind to change had me squealing like a schoolgirl.That kerfuffle with Jacqui Smith reinfornces something I've always disliked about politicians (and company executives for that matter) with regards to billing for expenses. Why do they have to charge every little purchase to their company card? If I was making that kind of scratch, I would be embarrassed to even charge a meal to the company/taxpayer. Those pricks are shameless.
-
What happened to everyone?
-
I have decided to retroactively dislike Casino Royale. When I try to remember what I liked about it, all that comes to mind is the way they acknowledged James Bond's cuntishness. But after Quantum Of Solace, that has worn off for me, so I don't see any reason to like Casino Royale anymore.It's tidier this way, anyway. It was weird disliking all Bond films except for Casino Royale, so it pleases my anal desire for neatness and order that all of the Bonds now sit together in the wank pile.Balls to James Bond!
-
Pleasant, summery, yet inescapably masculine.
-
I watched Punisher Warzone again this weekend. It's just as good the second time.Jonah, I can't explain why I was bored at various times. Maybe it was just too much booze making me sleepy. I discovered Sam Adams Blackberry Witbiere on the weekend and needless to say I sucked them back like I was being paid to. I'll watch Ong Bak 2 again completely sober. And I guess I need to get another round of kits out sooner than expected.
-
You need some lesbian hulk midgets to get you back in proper frame of mind.
Hated all previous Bonds? Thats sacrilege of highest order. hate the roger moore crapfest all you want. But dont shit on 60's saint Sean! -
I wish I had done that. The British public seems to be torn between humour and outrage at this one- on one hand (pun intended) we want to string the bitch up for this, but on the other, there's something fucking funny about a minister that described prostitution as "rape" being caught with a husband that would rather watch Raw Meat 3 for "research purposes" than bang her.
-
QoS is the toothy blowjob of Bond films. There is so much potential there for an immensely enjoyable experience but it just doesn't know what the fuck it's doing.
-
haven't seen The Punisher yet. Im no fan of the first two iterations. It's better than those?
-
I was very surprised about Punisher war Zone. It is a truly fun, violent CoC approved flick! I hope it has a long cult life.
-
It is far superior than the first two. It is a true Punisher movie. It has over the top gore and violence. It has scebery chewing actors, but Stevenson plays it straight and honest. And the movie really moves very well. I highly recommend it for what it is - a true comc bokk brought to movie life with all comic book excesses intact.
-
... with that unspeakable cunt RowdyRoddy aka Thunderballs aka The Burst Arsehole Of Psychotic Hatred in that right wing circle-jerk TB.
How the fuck will I ever get clean again?
Might just sit here and watch human beings post for a while. -
The Sam Adam's blackberry. Those are indeed delicious, and if you drank enough of them they would certainly put you in a coma-haze.
Also, Ong Bak 2 wasnt the fight fest that Ong Bak 1 was, so it wasn't like you can just coast from fight scene to fight scene.
Man, I still think one of the most wall to wall fight films since Ong Bak was Invisible Target(and yes, I'm counting Chocolate.) -
Yes, you need a delousing after tangling with Brane. i might go slap him a few times - just for old times sake.
-
Niiiiiice
-
definately had some high-class asskickery in it.
-
fucking horrible bastard.
-
that it was what Conan would have been like if he had been an agile, martial arts expert from Thailand who beat down elephants instead of camels. I argue it's the best conan movie we are likely to ever see.
-
What is this Invisible Target? Asian? Can I slip it into my Asian season?I like wall-to-wall fight films, and I thoroughly enjoyed Chocolate.
-
It's a gloat-a-thon for far-right felchers.
-
I have the day off. I should have gotten drunk last night - I let the team down!
-
Animalparts claims to be Jewish. Bullshit.
-
I hate Wookies.
-
A very thourough ass whipping. Of course this is BranRobot we are talking about, so he will lick his wounds and pretend it never happened.
-
Pusher II is just about perfect.
Mads Mikkelsen as the most pathetic junkie loser ever, strutting round Copenhagen with "Respekt" tatooed on the back of his head - just below the monstrous scars from the beating he copped in Pusher I from his best friend.
Magic! -

I only got $7 left till I get paid, should I buy gas or go see Conan in theaters?
-
Brane has made that claim for quite some time. Shocking, but believable
-
It's so fucking childish, I kick myself every time I rise to the bait.
But's it's a complete waste of electrons taking him on.
What's really galling is he gloats for months if you let him have the last word. So you have to keep grinding away until the TB falls off the front page. Very grown-up, I know. -
Imperial scum, I presume?
-
... the director/writer, Refn, is a totally stuck-up, middle-class tool.
There are some documentaries on DVD with films II and III where he craps on in an annoying pretentious way.
But the films are quite hard-core. -
Must be battled at every turn.
You did good Irritable, and though he will return, smacking him around is fun and therapeutic as well as good for the environment! So never despair about being galled by giving him battle! -
The hatred towards him amuses me.

I'm in on it now. I hate that cunt.

"And please show me where I condoned what Slobbo did? I said I understood why he did what he did, I also understand why Hitler did what he did, that means I condone their actions? I thought all you fuckwit Libs are about understanding and wanting to see things from the terrorist's perspective? But you only seem to do that with people who want to destroy America. I don't see people walking around with Slobbo t-shirts, but I do see quite a few Leftists walking around with Che Guevara t-shirts. What do you say to those Liberals who condone what Guevara did in killing scores of innocent people? What about the Leftists that used to defend the Soviet Union and call it a paradise? What about Michael Moore saying Iraq was a paradise before we invaded? You have a problem with those people? Or just right wingers like myself? It's really funny how transparently anti-American you are. So please, tell me, how do you feel about Leftists wearing Guevara t-shirts? Are they nutcases who condone mass murder like you say I do? I know, I know, you'll either ignore the question or just call me names, or both. You're incapable of complex thought."
Yuck -
... and get some sleep.
Cheers. -
Go see Conan!
-
I just spent, what, thirty minutes helping someone ELSE get used to www.fanfiction.net - only for the idiots there to install a two day FUCKING waiting period before stories can be uploaded. The things we do for chicks, ey?
-
at Mavra?I'm not having that.
-
that situation is already taken care of. Well played, CoC.
-
I sent an e-mail to 'grumpy.' Check it when you can.
-
Both utterly splendiforous.Not going to watch Red Cliff 2 until I can run it back to back with the first one. Got to be done.
-
I never doubted for a minute that you'd love both movies. I sent you Ip Man as well?
-
BlueLando got real boring, real quick as an account. How're things?
-
Ip Man I'll probably watch next, just got to sort out a night.
-
Hee hee! Fred only has a fewminutes during lunch time to say hello to everyone.
-
Fred is well aware that he has been absent for a while, but would still love to see outlander and all the other movies (plus Ultraman if you could squeeze it in).
Shameless movie loving Fred -
Definitely have a go at Invisible Target. Yeh, you can slip it into your Asia-Thon. Top movie.
-
How yer doing, mate!Come back. We miss you.
-
Fred not really gone anywhere, just can not post during work hours much if at all anymore. It is a shameful, shameful thing, but Fred gotta feed the bulldog!
-
I can't post at work either, cept at lunch. Off work today with, would ye believe, a swollen achilles. Not so swollen anymore, the ice and frozen peas have done the trick. I can get a clog on now!
-
Ah, Bud Ice.
-
Ever had imported Czech Bud? It's storming stuff. Oddbins usually have some.
-
They can cut and move faster than a Therewolf, which is why your schilles is aching. Therewolves need to rely on guile for the smaller prey. Take care Therewolf! Fred must sign off. Tell Mavra Chang; Fred said hello, and that Dirk will defend her honor to the very last ThereWolf (Dirk made Fred say that!)

Can't wait for that one! I can't believe they got the original cast to do voices- Ernie Hudson included. Awesome. Just plain ole awesome. Can't wait to start swinging around my Wii-mote like a proton pack.
-
Take care, man.I was chasing voles!
-
C'mon brother you can do better then budwieser. I have faith in you man, you can do it.
-
Is that Bill Murray's voice? Didn't sound like him - but my speakers are shite anyway. The dude hiding under the table looks like Edward Norton!
-
And Ghostbusters? I'm Mr. Zeddemore, course I'm in for that awesome.
-
Czech Dark Bud as well now. Not tried that one yet.
-
if Winston shouts - "I've seen shit that'll turn you WHITE!" at least once.
-
After the day I've just had, leave me to my water down beer. :)
-
The Ghostbusters video game. Thatd be a twist.
-
Dang, you spoiled the intro to my next Lost review.
-
I really can't stress how downhill the day went when I shaved and got a haircut. I think the universe wants me to be a Hobo.
-
Sorry, man. How did I manage to do that?
-
The whole 'Turn you white' thing. It was a bad joke. I'm not really on form today. heh/
-
I'm getting a kit out to you as well. Due to time constraints and finances, I had to stagger the mailings this time around. No more postage paid through work so no more overnight deliveries and postage comes out of my lint filled pocket.But you, Mavs, Vader and JPT are next, and last for this bunch I believe.
-
If only American employers would realize booze in a non-heavy machinery workplace is completely acceptable.I just realized I saw Marley & Me on the weekend as well. It wasn't a bad movie. I'm not going to ramble on incoherently about it like Harry but for dog lovers it's guaranteed to bring some smiles.
-
Man, for awhile I worked night shift (7pm-7am) in a plastic bag factory, pulling sets of bags off a conveyor belt and folding them into a box. Self-impairment was necessary just to make it through the night!
And HOD, really liked your blog over at ain't it bale.... -
I admit to feeling a bit like a party crasher when I post in here....
-
It's nothing but random unfocused rage. Working on my third installment as we speak. Not sure why anyone needs to read my version of yelling at the screen, but if it brings one ray of sunshine to a black hole day, then it was worth it.Everyone hightailed it out of here in a hurry. Like the waiter brought the check after a night of feasting and everyone forgot to bring their wallet.

I just feel like punching a wall, so shouldn't be online too much.

Time to resurrect old argument. I just saw Kung Fu Panda
by toadkillerdog
Best buy had it on sale for 8.99 -so I had to buy it. Wow! Was I impressed, and I laughed very hard!
This movie kicked the shit out of Wall - E for pure entertainment value. -
For allowing me to experience the greatness of The Good, The Bad, The Weird.
Watched it sunday morning and very quickly realized I was in the presence of greatness. -
I'm no longer the only CoCer who loved Panda and feel the same way about it putting Wall*E to shame. I'll drink an Arrogant B in your honor.
-
I got hammered with about eight phone calls in a row and couldn't finish my post.
Well played sir..well played. -
I love it. Well done everybody involved!Fuck. I need to start writing and contributing to you guys. I'm loving these new alternate sites. I may not have to even go on AICN anymore.
-
When The Weird jumps in the jeep and sees all of the dynamite. The next scene had me laughing my ass off.
Also when the Japanese officials were looking at those two dead bodies and questioned on how bad of a pervert they were dealing with. -
I told you I liked Panda. Those action scenes were actually really well done, and I'm an unabashed Jack Black fan. I still loved Wall-E, but KFP deserves just as much recognition for being a good cartoon movie in my opinion.
-
It coulda been great. Coulda been epic. Instead it was cheap, with lame, weak supporting characters. The most interesting thing in the movie was Anakin's, I mean Tai Lung's (was that his name?) relationship with Obi-Wan, I mean, Master Shifu. Wall-E is a MUCH better movie. But then, that's like comparing 2001 to Enter the Dragon. Different genres. One may be more entertaining to some, but one is definitely better made than the other.
-
Brilliant.
-
Something about his little bobbing head just looked really well animated.
-
Wall-E was the more high-minded movie, but in my opinion, and that is all any of us have, it was the inferior movie. It had higher aspirations, and the imprimatur of Pixar, but Panda was far, far more entertaining and heartfelt. I truly can not stand Jack Black. Annoying and cloying and not very talented. But he did two things last year that i had to admit I liked. His scene where he was tied to the tree in tropic Thunder (and over rated movie in my opinion) and Panda. It seems Black in a limited role, or with no 'face' time is more palatable to me.
I wanted to love wall-e but it just fell flat. Just like Watchmen. I hate to say it, but Punisher war zone was the more entertaining flick. -
But the Furious Five were a freaking waste.
-
I thought Black was pretty tolerable and low-key (compared to other flicks) in that one.
-
I may catch it on cable, it has been playing - and I have been avoiding, recently.
Dude is irritating. -
You were right.
-
Kind of an outcast that everyone tolerates or, at times, tries to avoid. But he's not over-the-top (in my opinion) and the low-budget recreation of classic films is great and creative.
-

Well, I will give it a try. Just as long as he does not roll his
by toadkillerdog
Truly irritating
-
really beautifully animated as well. I loved the score too. It's just a really great animated movie all around. Yea, I like Wall-E better, but honestly, I had no doubts Wall-E would be good but had planned on KP sucking. In my mind it's cause to rejoice that we had two animated films that were so strong in summer 09.
Tai Lung was also one of my fave characters and would have liked to see him exit the movie in a different fashion. Alternately, the exit of Master Oogway was perfect-the best moment of the movie. -
Sucked. Huge. Ass.
-
It's just a sweet movie with some fun moments. Also, I think it does a good job of recreating that feeling people get while making movies. And yeah, I'm a Gondry fan too.
-
But my criteria for a really good movie is really very simple: Would I pay to see it again?
Panda. Yes. Wall-E - sadly, no. Watchmen - sadly, no. Wall-E just felt like we were supposed to be dazzled because Pixar made it, and were daring enough to habe little dialogue. But the cuteness in the commercials and trailers, did not exist in the actual movie. -
Were you as impressed as I was?
-
I was expressing my opinion as someone who saw both movies multiple times because I was entertained and felt pretty much the opposite of everything you said above. Wasn't discounting your opinion though. I guess my point is that anyway you slice it, KPF was good news. It's the best thing Dreamworks has done since Antz.
-
To coin an old Zone mandate. Do I think KFP sucked? Yeah. But feel free to enjoy it. And discuss it. Ignore my rants.
-
I also know that you really liked Wall-E. If everyone liked the same things it would be a dull world
-
I saw it back in December, and I was blown away. Honestly, I like it better than the original film, though I know some will find that a bit much. It had elements of Raiders and The Road Warrior in there, and the scene where The Wierd is wandering around firing off shots in that diving helmet? Brilliant!
Chitty...did you see my Ong Bak 2 review over at Mavra's site?
How goes things Chitty? -
Must be hearing things. Best to ignore
-
is a Kung-Fu Panda sequel. No thanks. By the way, Toad, Desperaux hits dvd soon. That's another pretty good animated flick. At least I thought so.
-
I liked when he looked at it and said "This thing is awesome! But why it is it so heavy?"
-
I'm not sure. Last thing I remember is something about 'get in the sun, fatty.' But I've lost a chunk of weight since then, so that had to have been months ago.
-
was playing during that giant chase scene towards the end, with bombs going off and horses flying everwhere.
-
Hopefully through the strenous application of diet and exercise and not some 'ideous wasting disease.
-
Not a disease, more 'your blood pressure is high.' As a result, I now eat less. Two regular meals a day. Sometimes snack. Fruit juice. Then - to top it all off - when I have a shit day I get really drunk. Which means I spend 75% of the next day not feeling hungry.
-
That's not what you meant was it Vader? Never mind.
-
for In The Loop looks quite funny. "You're an idiot." Class. I never trust a trailer, though - trailers for comedies, double distrust. All the funny stuff goes in trailer, remainder of said 'comedy' is a laugh vacuum. Usually.Also like the look of Phasma Ex Machina. Silly title but could be interesting. Very 6th Sense-y.Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre - fuck me that's a gobful. Feel as if I've seen it all before... cept this time it's on a boat.
-
Damn entertaining.
-
I'm gonna see Conan tomorrow. I wonder why they are showing it, though it is the same theater that showed Outlander. I'm thinking the manager has a Viking fetish.
-
Marley and Me, Timecrimes and Special coming in from the Netflixs this week. Really excited for the last two, Marley and Me should be watchable though. Seeing that I own 2 dogs.
-
Fred truly appreciates your continued generosity and kind heart. Fred is humbled by your actions. Thank you
-
was surprisingly intense. Who the hell could survive getting shot that much? I suppose I would call that some "gangster shit."
-
I agree with you about TGTBTW with the part after the showdown and the TWIST about the Weird, was kind of boring. But expected after that last scene.
-
Was awesome on Sunday. Come on, that Shatner joke was so mean!
-
We are listening Dan. And we are here for you. Tell us your biggest fear. Does it involve 'piss fenders'?

Actually no. My biggest fear is having my penis cut off....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....with scissors as I sleep. Right at the base so its nearly flush with my pubic region. Thats my biggest fear.
-
Well, you may want to remove all sharp implements from your house. Ban sleepovers, and start taking uppers and drinking massive amounts of caffeine
-
And I'm a twitchaholic.
-
My biggest fear is using proper grammar and unbiased objectivity in a movie review.
My wife's biggest fear is that I will once again lose control of my bowels and projectile diarrhea all over her while she is tonguing my balls. Cant really blame her, seeing how it takes weeks for the smell to come out of her hair. -
The Parallax View? Old Warren Betty movie. Worth catching?
-
Because everything is about to be destroyed in seconds. Anyone catch the new episodes tonight?
-
Even I didn't know that. Jesus that fucking hurts just thinking about it.
-
Color Me Kubrick.It stars John Malkovich as a con man that ran around England masquerading as Stanley Kubrick in order to get people to do stuff for him. It's a pretty clever commentary on today's obsession with the concept of "celebrity" and the stupid things people will do when facing it. And Malkovich's acting is some of the best he has ever done. It has to be seen to be believed. How he changes his voice and characteristics with each person he meets. It's funny stuff, and well done.
-
Don't care.
-
Wall-E stomps that shit. Wow. Not much to catch up on from last night. And seeing as I just had a bbq with mates last night I've got nothing new to talk about. *snore*
-
I quite like him. He makes me laugh. School of Rock, Nacho Libre, Shallow Hal were good. I didn't really like Be Kind Rewind that much. And his cameo in Jesus' Son is fucking genius.
-
It comes out here on the easter weekend. I'm seriously considering getting hammered and going to watch it. I loathe the first one, but the other two were pretty dumbhouse enjoyable.

Uh... have we moved to another TB?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's awfully quiet round these parts.
-
want to kill him. Fucking unfunny shit. Do not like Jack Black.
-
Mar 31, 2009 3:56:12 AM CDT
I can see you not liking Shallow Hal, Jarv
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But School of Rock? That's a pretty odd flick to rage against. I will concede JB is not for everyone. He makes me laugh though. Mostly.
-
Watched Leslie Vernon last night. I still say that it's great

Nothing much going on there. We could make ourselves at home until the new Twitch shows up. Aussies are very accomodating.

unfunny, hackneyed garbage with gurning man child learning with the class. Fuck that.

Not Downunder. I hate Laturo.

Sounds good to me.

had any exchanges on this site. But I have often read and enjoyed your posts.
I've just read your post on Mavra's site.
It's a post which should never be removed.
You have the respect and admiration of many people here. -
It will have less trafic and therefore less dickheads.
-
too full. Anime?
-
See you there.
-
I finally get paid today. Planning to by a shit ton of comic books.
-
Doing some work while "Center Stage" (2000), the movie that unfortunately started this current trend of "dance movies" plays on the tv. But it did have Zoe Saldana in it, whom I have a big crush on, so it held my attention at times.
-
It doesn't seem like anyone is in Shitcock Holms either? Fuck its like trying to find my mom in a shopping mall.
