International Eye Candy: SAMURAI PRINCESS, ONECHANBARA, MOTHER And Much More!
International Eye Candy
April 15th, 2009
It may have only been two weeks since the last installment of International Eye Candy, but what a two weeks. There have been enough major films releasing trailers to fill a regular year, so much so that it's no wonder there are rumblings out of Cannes that programmers are afraid they're going to have to turn away some major names simply because there's not enough room. Two of the weeks biggest - Johnnie To's VENGEANCE and Lars Von Trier's ANTICHRIST have already drawn the attention of Harry and Co on the main page here but there's more. Oh, yes. There's more. Park Chan-Wook! Bong Joon-Ho! Nicolas Refn! The latest from the director of TOKYO GORE POLICE! There's a whole lot going opn out there and now is the time for our regular trawl through the pages of Twitch for a look at the best of it.
What the hell, let's start with the pulp and work our way up to the serious stuff. And when it comes to pulp nobody does it better - or more - than the Japanese.
The original ONECHANBARA - adapted from a video game of the same name - was built around a simple premise: Put a hot girl in a bikini (and cowboy hat), give her a sword, and put her to work battling zombie hordes and geeky men will pay good money to watch. Which is exactly what happened. And enough geeky men paid enough money to justify the making of a sequel and so ONECHANBARA VORTEX is now on the way. More zombies. More splatter. And, most importantly, more bikini.

As pulpy as ONECHANBARA may be, however, when it comes to Japanese splatter Yoshi Nishimura is the undisputed king. He did the effects work on MACHINE GIRL. He directed and did the effects for TOKYO GORE POLICE. And now he's producing - and doing effects - for SAMURAI PRINCESS, the directorial debut of his TOKYO GORE screen writer. What's he got up his sleeve this time? Scissor legs, flying chainsaws, breast grenades and a guy punched so hard that his skeleton pops right out of his body. And what would a Nishimura film be without gallon after gallon of blood?

For our final piece of pulp we move a little closer to home with Canuck writer-director Lee Demarbre's tribute to the films of Herschell Gordon Lewis, SMASH CUT. Lewis himself has a significant role in this one, horror icon David Hess plays the lead, Michael Berryman has a key support role and porn starlet Sasha Grey stars in what I believe is her first non-porn role. This is all bright colors, extreme angles and wildly over the top camp.

We now call and end to our non-stop string of films starring women known for the propensity for nudity - yes, the female leads in both of the Japanese films share the same career path as Sasha Grey - and instead present to you Scandinavian semen. All class here at International Eye Candy. All class.
You may not know director Peder Pederson by name but I can virtually guarantee that you've seen his work thanks to a string of high profile television commercials, Indiana Jones adventures animated in Lego and a music video resume that includes Aqua's Barbie Girl. This? A feature length sex comedy whose title translates to WHITE GOLD. You can work it out from there.

And now we leave the sex behind entirely - I think - and head to Mexico for a film that I might actually be able to watch with my mother. New from the director of THE CRIME OF FATHER AMARO is BACKYARD, a thriller based on a true south-of-the-border serial killer case. Jimmy Smits plays a key role - surprised he hasn't featured in more recent Mexican film, actually - but the real star here is the oppressive environment created by director Carlos Carrera. Very creepy. Very real. Very effective.

People have been declaring independent Japanese animator Makoto Shinkai (THE PLACE PROMISED IN OUR EARLY DAYS) the next Miyazaki pretty much from the day he appeared on the scene and I hereby declare CENCOROLL director Atsuya Uki the next Makoto Shinkai. Here's the story. A few years back Uki published a one-shot manga titled AMON GAME, the story of a boy with a giant pet monster, that went one to win some significant manga awards in Japan. And Uki decided that he liked the story so much that he wanted to make an animated version of it, so that's what he did. All. By. Himself. This is a one man show here and it is DAMN impressive.

From the unknown to the rising star, we move on now to Mamoru Hosoda and his upcoming feature SUMMER WARS. Who is Hosoda? He's the guy who, a few years ago, directed THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME and had the stones to release it head to head with Studio Ghibli's A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA - a film with a monstrous publicity budget, directed by the son of legendary director Hayao Miyazaki. Observers figured that Hosoda's film was destined to die an ignoble death, trampled into the ground by the Ghibli juggernaut, but the exact opposite happened. GIRL built a huge buzz via word of mouth, audiences grew steadily, and by the time all was said and done Hosoda's film came out of the head to head combat as the clear winner. And a new star was born.
SUMMER WARS reunites all the kep minds behind THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME and gives them better resources to acheive their goals. Details are sketchy - it's some sort of magical adventure story but little else has been said - but very clearly Hosoda's stuff. Only two films in and the man's already got a clear, distinct style. Impressive.

One more from Japan here - this being a very Asian-focused edition of the IEC - in the form of Miki Satoshi's INSTANT NUMA. Miki is a hugely popular television director in Japan who has been steadily pushing into the feature film world over the past several years with his most recent film - ADRIFT IN TOKYO, starring Jo Odagiri - ranking in my mind as an absolute masterpiece. It's full of gently absurd humor and detailed characer work and seems to me to be the work of a man who has just figured out exactly who he is and what he's good at and has the good sense to cast good actors and let them do their jobs. And this new one looks like more of the same. It's the story of a laid off office worker who inherits an antique warehouse and while the synopsis doesn't sound like much I need only remind myself that ADRIFT is nothing more than the story of two men going for a very long walk to realize plot isn't the point when Miki's on his game. The road is more important than the destination and the just-released trailer for this looks totally in line with his best stuff.

Vikings. Refn. I am sooooooo there.
The film is VALHALLA RISING, the new viking epic from Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of the stunning PUSHER films and recent Sundance hit BRONSON. It stars Mads Mikkelsen, probably the best character actor of his generation. And, somehow, despite being worlds removed from the urban grit of PUSHER, and every other film he's ever made, this looks to be instantly recognizable, vintage Refn. Which is to say genius.

Somehow it has taken only three feature films for Korea's Bong Joon-Ho to firmly establish himself in my mind as one of the very best film makers in the entire world today. You probably know him as the director of hit monster picture THE HOST but his prior work - true crime picture MEMORIES OF MURDER and black comedy BARKING DOGS NEVER BITE - are every bit as impressive.
And with his upcoming film - titled simply MOTHER - Bong seems to be taking a quick breather, a return to "small film" territory after the massive production of THE HOST and before the even bigger SNOW TRAIN which he'll direct with OLDBOY's Park Chan-Wook producing. Like MEMORIES this is a crime thriller from an unusual perspective, in this case the story of a woman well past middle age struggling to prove that her mentally disabled son did not commit the crime he was pressured into confessing to.
We've run an early - and very scanty when it comes to footage - teaser for this one before but now the first proper trailer has come out with a first proper look at proceedings. Film of the year? Might be ...
Find the MOTHER trailer here
If Bong's new film fails to dominate the Korean box office this year the most likely candidate to keep it from doing so is this: future collaborator Park Chan-Wook's vampire picture THIRST. The first trailer for this one was a solid tease, a tease followed soon after by a leaked trailer that seemed a little muddled and was followed wherever it went witha flurry of cease and desist notices requiring people to take it down. Whoopsie! Turns out that one was an unfinished piece, prepared for internal use and not at all ready to be let out in to public. The one they released a few days later? That was the finished, public version and DAMN does it look good.
Disappointed by Park's foray into romantic comedy with I'M A CYBORG AND THAT'S OKAY? Well, the master's back, kids. The master's back.

Welcome Twitch!
-
I inaugurate a new Twitch for the first time ever! That's okay, I'll still be at the other one for a bit.
-
Bong Joon Jo, Park Chan Wook, a sex film called "White Gold", a Japanese flick called "Samurai Princess"? Awesome. I watched "Machine Girl" finally a few months ago after it sat on my shelf for months. I wasn't as impressed as I'd hoped I'd be. It'd be better if I wasn't alone and sober.
-
Totally forgot about that. Valhalla Rising sounds awesome. Trailer didn't do as much for me as the synopsis did, but I'm excited for it. I'd rather the vikings be, ya know, followers of Odin instead of what looks to be Crusaders heading for Jerusalem. But ah well. We can't have our vikings always fighting native americans or werewolves.
-
Anyone know where that music is from? Damn Chan Wook Park, he knows how to pick good music, whether its classical or from his composer. I love the strings composition in "OldBoy". Don't know what was original and what wasn't. But I really like the music in the trailer for "Thirst". I'd love to know if its from the movie or if its something previously released. TWITCH! Can you help? Do you know or have any idea how to find out?
-
The first time anime put me to sleep. Miyazaki it wasn't.
-
by the same guy, so same deal.
-
Not as crazy as I thought it would be. I hardly remember it and I only saw it a couple weeks ago. Need to still finish Machine Girl.
-
Smaller sampling than usual but Valhalla Rising has me standing at attention. So do the two bikini chicks. Not really sold on Thirst yet though.
-
Should be a new CoC move. Also that movie did have a flaming leg kick.
-
Samurai Princess, Tokyo Gore and Machine Girl need to call up their buddy Ryûhei Kitamura and get Clive Barkers number. They could team up and make a sweet movie.
-
Battlefield Baseball?
-
Hopefully it'll wash away the viewing of Open Season last night. God that movie sucked.

Refn is really one of the best directors of his generation working today. The Pusher trilogy knocked me on my ass the first time I watched it. Really, a remarkable piece of work. Like a genius child of Scorsese and Michael Mann. Especially Mann. Visually, the second and third Pusher movies owe a great deal to Mann’s unique visual style, but Refn completely makes it his own without simply copying Mann. This is what great art should be. Borrowing something from older masters and taking it to new heights. I think that the whole wedding “celebration” scene in the second Pusher film, where Mikkelsen is watching in horror as his family cuts lose while an infant sleeps on the floor, is astonishing both visually and emotionally.
I also loved Bleeder and Fear X is an odd little gem. So far Refn hasn’t made a misstep. Dying to see Bronson and Valhalla Rising.
I highly recommend The Gambler, the documentary on the making of the second and third Pusher films, that’s included on the DVD set of the trilogy. It’s really right up there with Burden of Dreams and Hearts of Darkness, as one of the best documentaries about an artist teetering on the edge of a personal and financial abyss, only to snatch greatness from the jaws of defeat.
-
Did not make me want to watch the rest.
-
Man this has some beautiful music. And such a brutal ending. I need to see some more Chan Wook Park flicks.
-
Shiny new Twitch!
-
Hey StraightToHell. You seem to know a little but about a little bit.
-
It won't hold a candle to Outlander.
-
He's got a thing for playing people with messed up eyes.
-
to VALHALLA RISING, THIRST and MOTHER. Great flicks (who knows by now but FACT nonetheless) by great directors.
-
May see Crank 2 this weekend. And I thought the day would never come. I hope its good. Where's Harry's review talking about how its a good as a nice rogering.
-
I don't read Doctor Sleepless. I'll probably wait for the trade.
-
Only bc I had such a video gaming time in the theater watching the insanity that was Crank 1. And I like the Stath.
-
Sorry to hear about your old man. Glad to hear he's on the mend. Out of those three flicks you mentioned on the other Twitch, the only good one is Doubt. Seven Pounds and The Spirit are both horrible.
-
Thanks for your emails re: Werewolves on the Moon. Some great ideas and I'll look to incorporate them into the synopsis.
-
God, I need about a week off work.
-
I want to see almost all of those. Especially Valhalla.
-
Fuck's sake. I'm far too ill for this
-
werewolves get on the moon" conundrum. I think the way forward should be "they're just fucking there" rather than any attempt to rationalise it. It's going to be difficult enough rationalising Astro-dykes.
-
I'm truly disgusted that Right wing America keeps trying to label Fascism as Socialist. Despicable.
-
I was thinking that as well. Rationale is our enemy.
-
I've just weighed in on that Red Dawn idiocy. I'm disgusted at myself
-
I emailed you last night at the AOL address you left at the other Twitch. Series, if you see him, tell him to check his email and let me know if he got it.
-
Hopefully will be better tomorrow.See you then
-
Ok. HOLLA! Is everything better now? Also I'm having some technical difficulty if you got any advice. Thanks.
-
I WANT YOU OFF THE SET, YOU PRICK.
-
I hope your Dad's okay, man.
-
I'm a tract of open land in the country! That's what a 'wold' is, isn't it?I'd like to see some kind of rationale for werewolves being on the moon, even if it's a half baked idea. But that's just me. Half baked, that is.
-
at home over the weekend. They won't play right at work. Arse ache.Poor Jarv - he's poorly sick and can't eat pudding.

There can be a rationale for the WWOTM, but it has to be some throwaway line that borders on baffling. Or we can explain it, then cut immediately away from, to a zero gravity lesbo sesh, so we can distract the audience from the sheer stupidity of it.
-
I sent you an email. Get hold of me at the address I sent. Do you know if Kungfu got the one I sent him?
-
I'm glad that your father is better than what he was. I was also afraid for you. Hope he's well soon.
-
How goes, boss?
-
Yeh, mine was just an outline, without the probably expected lesbian sex in great detail. Obviously, if I had progessed to a fuller version this would have included lots and lots of lesbian sex.
-
Sweet new Lost review. Every one gets better. Someday I'm actually going to have to watch an episode to find out what the hell you're talking about. Your #1 fan should be pleased.
-
If the future eps suck as much ass as 513, pretend they don't exist.
-
An important semantic distinction.
-
I don't know what the hell happened last night.

I just read a story about a 16 year old having a $$$ wedding
by d.vader
She's 16, lives in a trailer park, and had a $200,000 wedding with her 17 year old bf. Her dad paid for it all. After reading the story and looking at the pictures, it became clear that... this girl lives in the UK? I had no idea there were trailer parks and rednecks in the UK?!
-
All that by one dude???And I can't wait for Summer Wars!
-
(Does that film title fit in the subject line?)
I was pleasantly surprised by that film. It was smart and had interesting twists, and very few of the anime cliches that are so prevalent. A good movie for the non-anime fan... although it's not very fast-paced. -
Just watched the first movie last night. A bit more tedious than you'd think it would be, but the last ten minute over-the-top Dragonball-Z style fight was worth it; a glowing red Bikini Samurai chick vs a glowing blue Japanese swordwielding schoolgirl.
I enjoy movies that drop all pretenses. -
Looks pretty fucking sweet.
-
It's not the Ryo Supercell thing mentioned in the 2nd trailer... What are the two tracks used??? I have to know!!! I hope that's the style of the music in the actual film, it would be godly!
-
Was pretty lame.
-
I'm gone for a week and we're not even in the top ten anymore?Pull your damn fingers out!P.S. What does that even mean, pull your finger out? I just pulled on my finger just now - not all the way out, admittedly - and it didn't do a damn thing. I didn't even fart.

Turns out, writing reviews is hard. It is especially hard when you're trying to wrestle all your thoughts about six films spanning four decades that you've been a fan of since you were twelve.Also, I am lazy. And I've been watching a lot of Gilmore Girls and The Wire instead of doing more productive things. And I am growing a beard and have become addicted to toasted cheese sandwiches.Got to start looking for gainful employment next week. Fuck.
-
It's fun to get your ramble on now and then.
-
Toasted cheese sandwiches are indeed addictive. I've just spent an hour standing on a fucking tube platform staring at the back of some pricks head. Fuck london. Fuck the tube. Incompetent bastards.

I watched The Uninvited last night
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Not very good. And there's a 'twist' thats fucking stupid. Remember 'Adaptation' and the screeplay that Donald Kaufman wrote? Well, that's essentially the 'twist', but it's a girl instead of a cop. It was a joke in Adaptation and it's a fucking joke in this. I do have a thing for Elizabeth Banks though. And Hollywood really needs to stop remaking japanese horror flicks. They ALL turn out shithouse.
-
And it finally provided the twist I have been waiting for all season. It's been a bit hit and miss this year, but I think the last 6 episodes are going to be pretty good.
-
Maybe you know this, but I will pass it on as a hard earned lesson anyway: Do not put chopped onion into your toasted cheese sandwiches. I tried this the other day (for a little variety) and it turns out chooped onions become hotter than the sun after a particularly hot day in the sun when toasted. And those little fuckers will leap free from your sandwich and burn the shit out of your chin area. They don't care, they just burn!
-
I almost spat out my coffee reading that. I will heed your wise words, Sensei Marmoset.
-
Got to make the most of this last full day of loafing before the weekend.I have to say, I'm a little disappointed Jarv didn't turn up to accuse me of being gay because I didn't hate Little Miss Sunshine. Oh, well. He's probably ill (he's usually ill). Get well soon, Jarv.Cheers, droid. Enjoy your weekend.
-
Enjoy your days of loafing. The Dude abides.
-
That film rocked! I want to see "Thirst" more than ever now, but no dissing on "I'm a Cyborg and That's OK". C'mon, man! Im Su-jeong did a fantastic job in that movie. Unbelievable! Next he'll be dissing "Machine Girl". To battle! Ha ha!
-
Does Toadkillerdog know that our idea of exploding breasts is now in someone else's film? I love this guy's work, so if someone else had to have that bizarro idea and put it onscreen, I'm happy it was Nishimura.
-
than work itself, it's lazy twats who continually take shortcuts through your department to get to where they're going. Somebody is close to being decapitated.
-
Wasn't for me. I appreciate the style and everything but one fight after another makes me glaze over after awhile.
-
seems to be going the way of the Dodo.
-
Bye, Franklin.Wouldn't say 'Diary Of The Dead' was "wank" - just very disappointing.
-
I think it was the over-the-top gore and action that made me love it so much. Could be a female thing, since we don't get a lot of good movies like that (I don't count Jolie's stuff...I'm neutral on her work). I loaned the movie to some of my friends. The guys were unimpressed and the women loved it.
-
Finally caught up with one of your films at the cinema - 'Let The Right One In.' Good movie. Nice score, plus a few creepy moments. The decapitated head dropping into the swimming pool...
-
Didn't think you strayed much from MyMavra anymore - and then only to tell folk to go to MyMavra. Shameless hussy! ;)
-
Disappointing describes it perfectly for me, and I'm a lifelong Romero fan.
-
Where you been, babe? You never call, you never write. I mean, what's an amoeba got that I haven't, huh?
-
Someone called The_Man_Behind_The_Curtain has taken over spamming duties, leaving me more free time to pursue shameless interests like annoying Toadkillerdog. The Man is gonna get me in trouble though someday. I hear he spammed the SG talkback. Horrors! We could get some of those looneytunes over at the other hangout.
-
this Man lurking Behind The Curtain? Friend or Foe?
-
I gave him up for Toadkillerdog, who is in fear of me. I've never bothered you out of respect for your interest for a certain lady, but if you are offering yourself up... ThereWolfs must be infinitely better than amoebas. By the way, do any of your body parts explode?

I think Toad's definitely got an exploding thing for you. No way I'm tangling with a KillerDog!

You know that American women melt over your voices, right? Sigh...
-
That was serious. I had to get him drunk and take him by force the first time, but he challenged me. What else could I do?
-
Over a Manc accent? You're just taking the piss now!
-
Why should you fear a killerdog (especially one who would probably gift-wrap me to send to you at this point)?
-
Zed has a female fan who almost drools at the sound of his voice (I know, that's Welsh...somewhat different). You just don't realize the effect you guys have on us.
-
it ain't a full moon so I'm not exactly at my best.
-
isn't Welsh. He'd say "Boyo" a lot and carry a leek under his arm if he was Welsh. He doesn't sound it anyway.
-
Would that lessen me in your mind?
-
Sounds Kentuckian to me.
-
I'll have to say "Ciao" for now.Lunch break is over. Laters.
-
never! Gotta go.

Have a good afternoon. See you later!

This could be the beginning of something beautiful. Happy days are here again...

So The Hobbit will be over two films now apparently
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And there is not going to be a flick "bridging the gap" Until The Hobbit makes a billion then the inevitable announcement will come.
-
Really? That's bollocks. Two films out of that little book? Greedy buggers.
-
I thought for sure Hobbit was one flick and the second was a fictional tale based off appendices and whatnot.
-
http://tinyurl.com/cakonk
-
I kind of see where they're coming from. But to make a statement like - "it'd be a mistake to cram (the novel) into one movie..." is ludicrous. Cram? All you need is in the book. No cramming necessary.
-
Then again so did Land, Day and Dawn. Night of the Living Dead was great.
-
And why would I drop a twenty for that?
-
Night... Classic.Dawn... Classic.Day... Good.Land... Average.Diary... Very average.
-
Sure, it changes the intent of the Hobbit, making it no longer just about Bilbo by expanding the universe and placing the story in its larger context as far as LOTR is concerned. I for one applaud this idea far more than I did the idea of movie 2 being a made-up link between films. Also, I really like the idea of getting to see the White Council (including Radagast the Brown!!!) and Gandalf going into the dungeons of Dol Goldur. I once had a dream about that neglected story of "the Hobbit", Gandalf going to Dol Goldur and finding Ringwraiths and evidence of Sauron's return. It was a very creepy dream, but I thought it felt pretty cinematic. I look forward to it. More Gandalf the Grey action can't be bad.
-
Having directed "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Be Kind, Rewind" recently. Also famous for directing crazy music videos, like White Stripes' "Hardest Button to Button" and Bjork's "Human Nature".
-
The Hobbit as 2 films won't work. I trust the film makers to do a good job. The book, though, is only slight and can easily fit into one movie. I guess I'm just worried they're going to overcook a very simple story.Doing 2 also gives them time to get Smaug right. Presumably he won't appear till the second movie.
-
Crazy creative.
-
two three hour fifteen minute flicks. This could easily be done in four hours. Two halves, like Kill Bill or Che. That's it.
-
The best music video director of all time. And Eternal Sunshine is in my Top 10. Be Kind sucked. Sorry Michel.

They said Hobbit was gonna be 2 films like a year ago....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
.....why is everyone acting like this is new news?I liked LOTR films, the Hobbit book is okay, and I enjoyed the hippie cartoon; but I can really give a fuck about a Hobbit movie. Del Toro makes me even less interested. 2 movies based on one simple story, milking vulnerable fans for all their worth makes me less less interested. I will illegally download this. Peter Jackson doesn't need another fucking cent.
-
Not seen one of his films. I do recall he directed a Thomas Dolby music promo. Can't think which one... Might have been 'Close But No Cigar' - two people watching telly.
-
Did you accidentally put that '?' in, because it sounds like you enjoyed the ep. If you did, awesome. I'm not expecting anyone to listen to my ramblings and decide the ep sucked. If you do, fuck... that's amateurish. I'm not coming at it critically, it's a gut-based reaction.
-
Because two years ago they said the second film would be a film of new material that bridges the gap bt Hobbit and LOTR. There wasn't much talk of the 2nd movie being the 2nd half of Hobbit.
-
I fear no man or Mavra!
My balls have Returned!
Hail to the Toadkillerdog!
Yes, I dissed you in Norwegian. And in Swedish. -
just got free star trek passes from the comic book store! Now just 5 days to wait. Exciting! Even if it feels like everybody in the world has already seen it...
-
No matter. You are free, dear Toad. You and your balls are safe and no longer needed by me. ThereWolf has potentially offered himself to me of his own free will. Brave man!
-
Coolness!
-
Just woke up. Oops. :)
-
And a lovely evening to you as well.
-
Nothing wrong with this week's Lost. But I rarely dislike an episode, so...
DON'T care about the Hobbit, but I'll probably watch it anyway. Isn't The Lovely Bones supposed to be coming out soon? Good chance I won't bother with that one, but only because I found the book kind of annoying. Effective (read: wringing the cat's neck), but annoying...Only sort of interested to see how they'd pull the story off on film.
DO care about Antichrist. I want to see Michel Gondry draw a portrait of that. Alas, I am far too broke to get a drawing of myself. Would make a pretty sweet gift for a friend, though. -
Because you love the thrill of the hunt and the capture and the cutting! Having someone willingly give up there jewels, aint gonna do it. And once you have a load of the Toad, nothing else makes you explode!
No. You are as hooked on my High explosive balls of joy as badly as Kirstie Alley is with donuts! You might try some Jenny Craig (poor old deluded Therewolf - maybe you drugged a rabbit) but the siren song of my iron balls slamming together will keep you drooling for more of their H.E goodness.
I am no longer fooled by you, and I have innoculated myself against Arrogant Bastard Ale by drinking 18 cases of it and not passing out. I also had a steel plate inserted into my skull - so your vaunted baseball bat upside the head trick will no longer work. Your frustration at not getting ahold of the Toadkiller jewels will make you a like a horny dog hunched over humping air. Poor pathetic Mavra. -
Doubtful, very very, doubtful. In fact it's impossible. The first sign of struggle and he's surrender.Besides I thought the big guys name was a series of numbers that translated into the word Yahweh? Yeah fun with math! Math=God.

I actually liked Dairy of the Dead? Is that just me? I also really like Redacted, with the Myspace/Youtube videos. Anyone seen that? Don't care about the Hobbit, yeah I'll see it but really do with it what you will. Glad to see DANNYGLOVERS didn't like Be Kind Rewind. I saw it getting WAY too much love around it. It was an ok movie I didn't hate it but save to the Sewing what ever and the fact that they did fucking put the Gondrys Sew of the movie trailer as an extra feature on the DVD was weak WAY weak. Really fucking pissed me off actually. Also bought that Star Trek Comic today. Hopefully its as good as this site has been hyping it to be. I realized that a year ago I was going to watch all the Star Trek movies (the original cast)and I got up to 4 but I accidentally rented 6 (i fucked up my roman numerals) and never went back to watch 4 and 5. So 4 should be here tomorrow and 5 next week, kind of a best and worst my lady friend gets to see before she sees the new one. Luckily Boston Legal has been kind to Shatner so she actually likes him now. Too bad JJ wasn't smart enough to surprise the shit out of everyone and have a secret Shatner cameo, pretty fucking stupid. I don't care how good the movie is, William is right, he fucking is Star Trek. I mean Ben Stiller pulled a secret Tom Cruise cameo the JJ hype machine pisses me off. Because it goes no where.

Seriously I think pretty much every girl in the world has boned some dude who either was/is or became a Marine.

Be Kind Rewind was extremely dull and uninspired.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
It felt like Michel wanted to make an ordinary movie and the studio pressured him into doing his signature style with the Swedes. They were very half ass. Everything clever was shown in the trailer. The story itself sucked. Mos Def was annoying. He was much better in Hitchhiker's Guide.
-
1.I can't damage Xiphos in any way shape or form. Good lord, man! He's needed to replace me if I ever get fired from the other website. He's too valuable to risk for lecherous purposes. 2. I would never hurt ThereWolf. If he's volunteering for anything, then I don't need any weapons. I'm perfectly willing to trade in the excitement of hunting for other types of excitement. 3. You seem to be fortifying yourself rather nicely while protesting quite a bit about the possibility that you would not longer be desirable to me. Must you continue to tempt me with such fascinating details and descriptions? Mr. Toadkillerdog, you're trying to seduce me!
-
The virus transmitted through milk...children eat Captain Crunch then crunch their parents... Elsie the Cow becomes a new symbol of the Antichrist.
-
Although fuck knows why I'm bothering on a Saturday. Shit, I hate being out of the loop.Anyway, those camcorder films just don't work for me. I did a double bill of Redacted and Diary, and that confirmed it for me. The more you try to make your camcorder bullshit appear 'real' while also telling a story, the more phoney you end up making it all seem. It's like the camcorder gimmick draws attention to how fake and staged everything is. Also, the film made me feel like George A Romero had battered me about the head with a cardboard tube that had PEOPLE USE CAMERAS TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THEIR LIVES! written on the side of it in black marker pen.Maybe the Wank review was a little too strong, though. I did like the bit where the zombie's head melted in.
-
"Haaaaaapy traaaaaails... toooo yoooooou!"
-
Was the woman screaming at the guy to put the camera down and help her. Sad that people actually do that sort of crap. How are you doing this morning?
-
I at least want to put us up above Harry Potter. Shouldn't be too difficult.
-
Butters becoming a lame vampire and running about hissing at people - hilarious.
-
Eugene Clark was very cool.
-
Hi, Mavra.I can't stay long, but clambering up over Harry Potter should be do-able.
-
Tag teaming is good fun. Thanks!
-
Down you go.
-
Not a great one, and not as good as Night, Dawn or Day, but I enjoyed it.Sorry, that's not much of fight... um... you bitch.
-
They're having a dig at that whole Twilight business, I think. Kids who think they're vampires and whatnot. It's a funny episode.
-
And look at that, I think he's crying!
-
You don't get nearly as riled up as some of these other guys. I just read on Horror Movies & Stuff.com that a new zombie movie called "Bong of the Dead" has been made. Also films called "Easter Bunny Kill Kill" and "Bloodsucka Jones". Sound like our sorts of movies!
-
Check out those douchebag blurry robots, they've pissed themselves!
-
I've never watched South Park. I bet that is funny, though.
-
And Romero is going to write zombie novels. Wow!
-
Is that any relation to "Evil Bong"? That film was actually pretty funny. Tommy Chong fights an evil bong with a chainsaw in it.
-
Lots of movie news today over there.
-
A new zombie/comedy is coming soon from the indie horror circuit called The Bong Of The Dead. The film, which we learned about this AM stars Simone Bailly, Jy Harris, and Mark Wynn. In the movie, which was directed by Thomas Newman...Tommy and Edwin are a couple of potheads who happen to survive a mass zombie outbreak. Since they are alone in the world they spend most of their time partying and smoking weed. One day they discover that by using zombie brains as fertilizer, they are able to grow some super potent pot! Problem is since the government has cleared out all the zombies in their city they have to go on a road trip in order to find more zombies. It is an action adventure road trip movie from hell with plenty of pot smoking and many laughs! There will be bud!
-
Did the bong win?
-
What? Didn't she win an Oscar?In other news, Philip Seymour Hoffman confirmed for Astro Lesbians Vs Werewolves On The Moon (possibly).Anyway, got to run. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Mavra. Cheers!
-
If the two guys are alone in the world, what government cleared out the zombies? I'm overthinking this already.
-
And now we have some new topics for everyone to toss about.
-
Veteran actress Elisabeth Shue will indeed topline Dimension Films upcoming 3-D remake of Piranha, according to Moviehole, who report the actress is quote..."playing the role of Sherrif Julie Forester, a take-charge authority figure in the community of Lake Victoria - where the action/ankle-biting takes place. She's the mother of Jake (one of the central characters in the film - the shy teenager who gets to prove his worth when human-eating fish threaten his family and friends), Laura and Zane." The redo, which is being directed by Alex Aja...is slated to hit cinemas next year. In the film...they're back! Every year the population of sleepy Lake Havasu explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for a single, wild weekend - the 4th of July, a riot of sun, drunken fun and sex-crazed mayhem.
-
My Lost 513 review has 71 hits. Only five more to go to beat my previous high of 75.
-
Man its fun to see how worked up some people get. Me? Can't wait for the flick. Looks like a lot of fun.
-
Chick in a bikini and a cowboy hat chopping up zombies. Got to be shite, right? What was the first one like anyway - anyone see it?
-
looks like the same kind of thing. Mental.
-
Porn star! David Hess! Michael Berryman! Most likely a trough of cack! I'm in!
-
A movie about wanking? Oh, come on... (pun intended)
-
It certainly is beautifully shot. Yeh, looks very good. Hopefully this will put in a showing at the Cornerhouse near me.
-
More Vikings, can never have enough Vikings - unless they're raping and pillaging your village in which case that would be inappropriate. But where's Kirk Douglas?Valhalla looks fuckin hard! Having it.
-
Wasn't biting after the first trailer a couple of weeks ago but this fuller clip looks promising. Could be very good indeed.
-
What's up?
-
More vampires. Looks all right to me.Now we need Vikings v. Vampires and I'll be a happy clam.
-
The sky.
-
No Vikings, but it might be funny.
-
Someone will pay for his death. I'm looking at you, Colonel Sanders!
-
What's that? I don't see no Bloodsucka on the Twitchy thing.
-
does a chicken like the Colonel. Pervert.
-
This was what the article said: A new indie horror film is coming our way with a blaxploitation edge to it. The pic is called Bloodsucka Jones, and it stars Maria Canapino. Canapino will be playing the title character's trusty (and sexy) sidekick. The movie tells the story of Dave King. He was just dumped by his girlfriend but it is okay because he meets the girl of his dreams who turns out to be a vampire. Her vampire friends and family want Dave dead but she loves him. So Dave enlists the help of Tony a bumbling wannabe vampire hunter and his favorite comic book hero Bloodsucka Jones to save the day. Wacky superbitchin' Hi Jinks ensue. The movie is set to go in front of cameras in Orange County later this month.
-
Tons of horror movie news, some good, some crap, but usually interesting.
-
Now you can be up on the latest non-Twitch news too. :)

They also have a post about Samurai Princess.

I shall peruse at my leisure (and when I'm more awake - it is rapidly approaching 1am here).

Next year, I'm taking my vacation times. ;)
-
Bloody hell, Mavra! You must be a very committed bakery person.
-
Isn't very good at the job. She burns things and covers them with frosting. I haven't trusted her with Sunday morning stuff. Also, I haven't been able to afford to take my vacation time. They make us take 40 hours if we do it, but only pay for 20. I just work through and take the unused cash as a Christmas bonus. Next year though, I am taking vacation, even if I lose some pay for it. I'm planning on going to the Grand Canyon. Been wanting to do that for a long time.
-
Only seen it in films and photos. Looks stunning. Can you actually go into the Canyon, or do you have to stay up top looking down?

Top or bottom. You can raft or fish in the river, so I hear. You can take mule rides or you can hike. I'm joining a gym on Monday so I can get in shape for hiking the trails. It's also on $12 to get into the park (as it's a state park and they have low-priced set fees nationwide). I could poossibly have gone this year, if I stayed in a tent, but a friend might go with me and would prefer a hotel room. That means I need more time to save up for it. I needed the extra time to prepare for the trails anyhow.

Was most definitely not uncreative or lacking in spirit. He remade like 20 movies with far more creativity and interesting techniques than Hollywood has in years. People hate on this film for no reason other than it's just not their humor. you can't blame something for lacking in creativity when like 80% of it is showing people how to make an okay movie with little to no money. It's a beautiful movie about the creation and passion for movies. It deserves all the love it gets. No question. And it's boring seeing it get hated on for reasons that really have no ground.

Be Kind Rewind is one of my least favorite Gondry works, but then again, I love all of his stuff, including most of his music videos. But it is by no means a bad movie.
-
Too late to hide and here I am. Let the good times roll!
-
poor toad gotta activate plan b
-
Was just meh overall. I think Gondry had an idea of what he wanted and then saw how involved the neighborhood wanted to get with the movie. And he kind of let the movie get away from him. I mean he wrote that book about his experience on this movie. I actually like it better then the Science of Sleep. I mean its just there was a lot of expectation going into it and it was a much smaller simpler movie that Gondry wanted to do. And it just came off dull, Danny's right the coolest parts where in the trailer, save for maybe the electrocution scene. That was pretty crazy.
-
yeah, definitely my least favorite of all his stuff.And Be Kind Rewind may have gotten away from him, but it grew and developed into something that is about more than just simple movie-making. It's the good parts of community and friendship. It's a quaint film to be sure, but a charming one that I have yet to be disappointed with in the numerous times I have re-visited it. Haha okay to be honest, I understand that I have substantial more love for this movie than most people. It just struck a cord with me I guess. I saw it the first time with my mom to on a trip with just her and me up the west coast to celebrate her cancer remission, so there's probably a bit of sentimental value there as well. It's no problem of mine if you don't like it, but I seriously don't think you can knock the movie for not being creative. Like what about printing the negatives of their faces so they could film the night shots? Have you ever just thought of doing that? It's clever and funny right?
-
.....but then I think about it-- and I really just like Eternal Sunshine and his music videos. So do I really like him as a filmmaker? I dunno. I kinda more like the idea of him. I wish he made more films I truly loved. Science had some cool shit in it, but the romance was flat and it felt like it had no heart, though it was trying very hard to.
-
And Science of Sleep was WAY too awkward. One of my favorite things is the White Stripes video of Hardest Button to Button.http://tinyurl.com/cmr4ftI'm sure Gondry can direct a good movie if he gets a really good script. Kaufman wrote Sunshine, and it shows I think.
-
Awww, man! What did I do to you? I should never have given you that much to drink. Toad, I PROMISE that I will not tell anyone what you did or what you said (or what you sang...never took you for a fan of THAT singer, though...very interesting and kind of creepy). That does it. I actually feel ashamed of myself, for the moment. But while I am in non-evil mode (sunrise, you know), I do hereby pledge to stop taking advantage of what is obviously the weaker sex. You guys aren't nearly as tough as you claim to be. Oh yeah... Sorry about the tattoo. It seemed funny at the time. Bet that's gonna sting when you wake up. I wouldn't try seeing the whole thing for a couple of days. Better give that a rest until it heals.
-
Why are you watching sweaty movies with Jack Black? Curious minds want to know.
-
That was the first Gondry thing I ever saw'd. I actually really like that film. It was written by Kaufman. Hahah Fu I just looked up Kaufman's resume and he did an episode of Moral Orel. I need to go back and watch that one. I need to go watch that whole series again. I want to see Dave Chapelles Bloc Party and Toykyo!. Also I think my favorite White Stripes is still the first thing I ever saw about them before they were huge, that Lego Video, Fell in Love With a Girl. I think Gondry directs all of their videos.

Fuse plays a lot of videos I believe. Bands are still making them, just with considerably smaller budgets. Labels are footing the bill for smaller and smaller videos. Some bands just end up paying for them up front themselves now.

Yesterday we learned that there'd be a "Ju-On" (The Grudge) video game coming. Since the "Saw" films have a game coming out this fall, I guess it's only natural a "Ju-On" game would happen. At any rate, today, we got some new details which we were awaiting on the forthcoming game. The game is being made specifically for the Nintendo Wii console, and players will be required to use the Wii-remote tool as a flashlight in the game, which ties in to making you experience fear within the game, as well as acting as a barometer for your character's health in the game.

More news: With it being previously announced that IFC Midnight will release the Canadian horror pic Pontypool to VOD and in NYC and L.A. cinemas on May 29th, and the Norwegian zombie pic Dead Snow in similar capacity on June 12th, now they've released future release details for two other horror films. One being Pablo Proenza's Dark Mirror, which stars Lisa Vidal, David Chisum, Joshua Pelegrin, Lupe Ontiveros, Christine Lakin, David Farkas, John Newton, and Jim Storm. IFC Midnight will send the film into limited cinemas and on VOD beginning on May 6th through August 4th. The film follows a photographer who moves her family into a strange old house, where she discovers an alternate reality reflected in the glass...a dark reality that is closing in on her. Lastly, IFC Midnight will send the Korean horror film Cadaver into cinemas and to VOD beginning on May 20th and running through August 18th. "Cadaver" centers on a group of medical students who embark upon their first autopsy in a cursed medical department.
-
The title says it all.
-
The official website along with a trailer, have both come online for Sean McEwen's upcoming slasher pic Albino Farm, which stars Richard Christy, Tammin Sursok, and WWE superstar Chris Jericho. In the film, four unlucky college students who while exploring the Ozark Mountains for a midterm assignment on rural America, run afoul of a community of vicious, mutated, cave-dwelling rednecks.
-
The premise for the upcoming game, is as follows..."The story centers on Detective David Tapp who awakens in a decrepit, abandoned asylum. He has been captured by his longtime nemesis, Jigsaw. Obsessed with catching this serial killer, Tapp's mission has consumed him and ruined his family, resulting in divorce, mental imbalance, and abandonment. Worse yet, this frantic hunt destroyed Tapp's career while he watched his long-time friend and partner get killed by one of Jigsaw's traps.

And yes it is true that I was curled up in a fetal position - bucket naked, and you stood over top of me with hands on hips and a triumphant look on your face. But that was your downfall. You were overconfident. You thought you could sashay into my toadkiller lair and take control. Hah! I am the Toadkillerdog born! It was a trap from my very first alcohol fueled post. A ruse. A base canard. I played with your weakness for all things toadkiller, and your over-confidence in your tracking abilities. Yes, I had to drink copious amounts of Scottish Dirty Bastard Ale (9% alcohol). And it did slow my reflexes somewhat, but I had ace in the hole. A little known pill that produces instant soberness. Once I took that pill, I turned the tables and it was you who were trapped! The look of horror on your face, when you awoke from from your fainting spell, and saw a fully operational Toadkiller is one I will treasure. And the only tattooing that happened that night was the picture of a toad tattooed under your left breast with the words "Toad Ho". You have been bested and exposed. Because you forgot that a Toad never makes the same mistake twice. Poor obsessed and tattooed Mavra!

Alas, I have not imbibed today, and thus my posting output will be minimal

Second favorite behind Futurama. I can not stand South Park though

Good Family Guy ep.
-
Who knew?
-
Only the South Park ditto heads think otherwise. Brainywashed by the writers of south park to think that way. Family Guy is full of non sequiturs and tangents that defy easy categorization, but are funny as hell - most of the time. Some explicit shit in there too.
-
To The Orthodox
-
but those days are long gone. The first time around was ocassionally funny but since it's return, not so much.It's the over reliance on the non sequitors and tangents that go on way to long that kills the show for me. Plus that Seth McFarland douche chaffes my ass. He's on my throat punch list.
-
But since it only my second fave after Futurama, it aint worth a holy war! But if anyone disses Lancelot Link Secret Chimp - it's on!

I agree Xiphos. I would enjoy destroying his face with a croquet mallet. So fucking annoying in that stupid ass commercial.

I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. And my bigest concern is why the fuck do dollar theaters have like the newest movie trivia questions before the show? This is only my second time to a Dollar theater in like as far as I can remember, no knock on Dollar theaters but the only other time was for Ong Bak, only way to see it. But I wasn't going to pay top dollar for the PBMC. But it has become this long running joke between me and the lady friend so if fucking finally just got to Dollar theaters last week and we were all set to go. So color me surprised when I saw Trivia questions for movies that just came out or weren't even out yet? Same thing before Ong Bak? I don't get it. But anyways all I want to say is that I am going to wait for Observe And Report when it hits $1 theaters and maybe make some sort of ven diagram between the two. See overall I snuck in some brewskies into the show which is a must do for anyone making plans to catch the PBMC. I like Kevin James I think he is genuinely funny and he seems like a really nice guy, he's just funny to laugh at and very likable. The movie is just fucking terrible I mean this really was a tour de force on James, they didn't even bother trying to make anyone else funny besides him. I mean how this money made that much money is something no one will know, its gotta be James' personality. I laughed, its stupid and silly and fun and I think about 3/4 through they gave up on an actual score and settled for a guy on a sweet Yamaha. I can't wait for OAR to hit the $1 theaters, because first off the term Observe and Report is a moto in PBMC and the two female leads look like fucking twins. This is worse then the Antz/Bugs Life debacle, its probably more like the Madagascar/The Wild mishap because both those movies were god fucking awful and only one of them were hits. See both Bugs and Antz were hits and very good. Unless OAR turns out to be the subliminal genius that I keep hearing about from that director that didn't really see in the Foot Way First (you know what its called). I enjoyed PBMC while intoxicated, its harmless fun and I want Kevin to go on and make better movies, a star was born in that garbage but at least it was better then Madagascar. I do have two questions though: 1). I wonder what the companies that turned down getting free publicity in this film think now, there is a Sharper Image plug (which may have been too little too late) but other then that and Vectroia Secret? for a mall very little stores where mentioned. 2). I wonder why there wasn't a Rob Schnider or Adam Sandler cameo in this, was that a smart decision on James' part or did neither of them think this movie was going to be worth a damn?
-
You might want to try a different route. Just a suggestion.
-
Seriously-- I think Crank2 is the funniest movie I've ever seen. I was having a few drinks (spiked my soda) during the movie, but I don't think I've ever laughed harder during a film. It was like non-stop. I can't judge how that will hold up on repeat viewings. But its fucking funny.
-
especially if you get ahold of some extra hot kimchee.

You are very talented in the art of semenal tattooing, I grant you that, but it came (cummed?) off in the shower. The look of horror on my face was when I saw you wearing my bra. I figured I'd never get the smell of ale out,it was actually leaking from your nipples at that point, which it why it was lying under you when I left. Say, do you dance when you're sober? For your next drunkening, note that M&Ms do not create sobriety...not even the magical green ones.

Now I'm back in the saddle I have to clarify this nonsense about it bot being abominable. Diary is a wretched festering pile of wank that tries to be postmodern but fails singularly because of the fact that it's about as subtle as being booted in the nuts. Not to mention the fact that the characters in it are such fucking unbelievable douchbags. I also do not like that hand held camera aesthetic, but it's bad for many other reasons. The camera thing is the least of them.
-
OK- I will put up the films that I've watched when ill- get a load of this list: Total now 147

never seen it before, and I can guarantee that I'll never see it again. I was sick as necrophilia and I think it actually made me worse. Load of wank.

Surprisingly, I quite liked this.
-
incredible, bizarre chinese horror film. Not for the weak stomached. No violence at all, very little gore, but a truly, truly stomach turning premise. Not to be watched when ill with stomach virus.
-
and it was 100 hundred times bettter then Diary of the dead. I just wish I could remember the damn name.
-
Hysterical- whole film is worth it for the ending- even if it is a bit predictable- and the craptastic stepford wife performance at the beginning.
-
The Zombie Diaries is the film you're thinking of. And it's about 100 times better than Diary of the Dead. The problem with diary is that there is only so many times you can hear various characters scream at the prick to put the camera down before you've got an irreversible urge to jam it up his ass. Especially when his mate is running away from the zombies begging him to help and he's just standing there like a spare prick at a lesbian wedding filming the fucking thing.

South Park shits all over Family Guy
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
FG is a load of festering shit. Not funny or clever. At all. But I quite like what I've seen of American Dad, which is just the first season.
-
has the occasional funny moment, but ruins it with overextended crapfests that just fucking annoy me.
-
I like Weir, but this was fucking odd.
-
Blue Harvest is, I reckon, the ulimate example of the good and bad of FG- The parody is spot on, and some of the lines are brilliant ("Aren't you a bit fat for a storm trooper?" "Well stay here and rot then, you stuck up bitch"), but there is the dreadful extended paedo dance routine to I've had the time of my life.
-
way too much booze, Fast and Furious, I Love You, Man, a dreadfully boring FA Cup game and a bucketload of The Wire. I do not want to be at work today.
-
That's the ticket. I like that movie and it showed how to use the real time concept well. Of course I'm biased though, I don't worship at the alter of Romero. I thought all his zombie movies sucked outside of the first one.

Worst sports to watch on tele are...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Golf and Baseball. But a bad game of football is excruciating as well. Plus over here, they inexplicably televise pub games like darts and snooker, which they consider sport. No. It's a fucking game. If you spend a lot of time playing it, then you have a fucking hobby.
-
I love Night and Dawn, think Day is OK, Land not so good and Diary blows. Apparently he's doing a new one (according to IMDB) Called Isle of The Dead that my battered wife syndrome will compell me to watch.
-
They're pastimes. See also Bowls (which inexplicably gets coverage here).
-
It's a good walk ruined. Fucking hate it. People say dogs are stupid for chasing sticks, but Golf is the same fucking thing: You twat your ball off into the middle distance, stroll after it, then when you get there, what do you do? Twat it off again. No thanks.
-
But I'm proud to say I watched the last one on DVD so I retained a shred of dignity and self respect.They fucking televise poker now. FUCKING poker! I like playing cards but hay-sus christos it's not a friggin sport. Also becasue I'm felling a bit chippy today, fuck MMA also. Those fuckers and the people that watch should just cop to loving the penis.

Golf is an awesome excuse to booze for three hours
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But it's a fucking elitist wank over here. In Oz you can play a round of golf for about 10-15 bucks. Over here you have to sell a fucking kidney. It would cost less to get a rimjob from the queen. ugh... what a hideous thought
-
I love throwing that good walk ruined line at my friends that play golf. They get bent and I laugh.
-
to booze it up?
-
There's nothing good about it. Nothing. I don't need an excuse to get smashed for 3 hours.
-
have you noticed how nearly everyone that plays it regularly is a complete fucking tit? Seriously, it seems to attract middle-management fuckheads like shite attracts flies.

Apr 20, 2009 4:50:44 AM CDT
You are correct. We don't need an excuse.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's different in Oz though. As I said, it's an elitist wank over here, but in Oz we just go with a bunch of mates, some beers and enjoy getting pissed in the sun.

sitting around a dingy pub slugging down pints.
-
Beer garden. Park. Cricket Match. Plenty of alternatives to following a tiny fucking ball around for 5 hours like a post lobotomy labrador.
-
We also have golf, the horse races, the footy and the beach. Plus when you only have about three days of sunshine in a year, you can spend one day in a beer garden, one day in a park, one day at a cricket match. It would become a little repetitive in Oz.

All sport is by definition repetitive
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Some are just entertaining to watch and others aren't. I grew up playing cricket, basketball, aussie rules football, golf, tennis and a little bit of soccer and baseball. I loved playing them, but out of those, the only ones I find interesting to watch are cricket and aussie rules. I used to love watching basketball, but find it mostly boring now. Soccer can be good, but also rubbish. Baseball and golf are excruciating to watch.
-
but all of them have more variety to watch and play than golf. If you want to reduce them to the absolute bare minimum then yes, they are more repetitive. They are also competitive- Golf isn't. I'm not explaining this properly, but Golf is an individual sport. In essence it's one person attempting to get into the hole in as few shots as possible- it doesn't matter if he's doing it on his tod or in a queue of 15 million others to go on a leaderboard. I suppose if you're playing it then it may be more fun.It's mind-numbing.
-
to watch Scotland v Middlesex. hehehehehe. That will be funny.
-
Troll 2 review for Mavra's site, but I'm fucking busy at the moment.

I think it's kind of "meh" to be honest.

Got Jacobs Ladder on the w'end as well. Never seen it before. One of those I've always meant to watch but never got round to it.

It's interesting. Ron Perlman is a bizarre bit of casting. I wouldn't go overboard about it though.

Good morning my lil Toad Ho. So the green stained toad juice wore off? No matter, there is a lot more where that came from. How the fuck did you sneak that camera into the Toadlair? Apparently those sobriety pills are not instantaneous, or they produce an amnesia effect, because I damn sure do not remember doing the Toadkiller dance for you - but there I was on film. Still it produced the desired effect and made you my Toad Ho for life. It buried sub-conscious and subliminal effects into your psyche that can only be triggered by the Toadkillerdog born. For now and forever more, unless I release you, you will be subject to my every whim. Dance Mavra, dance!

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Giant cockroaches and all that. I'd have to give it another look to re-evaluate.
-
around about the same time as I saw The Relic. I'll have to give it another look.
-
now I think about it.
-
I liked Pans, but it was a tad bit over rated. Loved Hellboy. Thought HBII was a heartless, unimaginative waste. Have not seen the others.
-
Moronic, but loads of fun. Exactly my kind of monster movie.
-
He hasn't made a flick I've disliked. Just good or great. I have a lot of love for Devils Backbone though. Moreso than Pans. Probably because Pans got hyped, while Devils was under the radar.
-
Ok, maybe not that bad. But it was derivative(can you saw MIB and harry Potter - I think you can). It was repetitive (can you say recycled Pans designs - I think you can). It was heartless (can you say compared to original HB - i think you can). It was unimaginative. And the villain (really?) was a fucking pansy assed fairy. yeah it sucked.
-
Edited for broadcast tv, of course. Meh. Didn't hold my attention long enough.
-
But after 5 days of being in the hospital and having my joints ruined by those uncomfortable chairs, sitting at my desk is actually an improvement.Did manage to watch a few movies on my laptop though. Flash of Genius and Doubt are highly recommended and Admiral, while flawed, is the best Russian movie I've seen yet.
-
How is the Pater?
-
Hope things are looking up. Doubt is indeed good. That scene between Streep and Viola Davis is amazing. Streep gets completely acted off the screen.
-
Hope you threw Lust Boredom in the bin
-
Hopefully he'll be released today. Don't know how much more of the hospital I can take.Doubt was a collection of just unbelievable acting/writing. Not only is the scene with Streep and Davis an acting tour de force, but that scene in the principal's office where Streep and Adams confront Philip Seymour was just about the best thing in a movie I've seen all year.
-
I will also put Doubt on my must see list along with Slumdog. BTW when you feel the need, i stumbled across a fierce brew called Founders Dirty Bastard Wee heavy Scottish Ale. 9% alcohol in that bad boy!
-
Doesn't that have Lauren Graham in it?It would be nice to see her in a good film that is not Bad Santa.Hello, folks.
-
But I'll do that this week. That way I can clear a spot in my Asian DVD folder for something more worthy.I also saw a movie called The Caller. Avoid at all costs. Elliot Gould and Frank Langella were completely wasted.
-
Good to see you! Have you been using your free time to reduce the worlds population of lesbian hulk midgets?
-
...is Death Sentence, a JPT recommendation. It was good. Not up there with my favourite entry into the Middle-Aged Vengeance genre - Man On Fire - but I enjoyed it. That Kevin Bacon is a good actor, and they did a great job of showing his transformation from regular guy to fucked up badass.Thanks, JPT.That puts me at 140.
-
Lesbian hulk midgets are an endangered species, you know. I actually spend all my free time (well, whatever is left after drinking and watching films) protecting them and educating the world about their plight.I'm like that Grizzly Man man, but with lesbian hulk midgets instead of bears (also, I have to be mauled to death).
-
I highly recommend Punisher War Zone for sheer fun and violence! Man on Fire is a great flick. Under rated. Proof of Life is also vastly under rated
-
What I meant to say was: (also, I have YET to be mauled to death).
-

by toadkillerdog
You might wind up getting Hulk-Fucked to death! Just like the Grizzly dude - only with lesbian hulk midgets

How goes the job search?Yes, Flash of Genius has Lauren Graham.I have not seen the Scottish Ale among the Stone Brewery stuff yet. I had a shot of the scotch ThereWolf sent me when I returned home from the hospital the other night and it actually made my joints feel better. Booze is delightful.Speaking of Hellboy 2, that's on a list of movies from last year I was disappointed with that I want to revisit.While in the hospital I also finished watching Ken Burns' "The War" docu-series. David Keith David does such a great job narrating what is easily the best footage ever put together of the war.
-
(extra time on my hands and whatnot)It seems to me, every second of that show that is not devoted to Lois Lane is like the crackly empty spaces you used to get between songs on vinyl albums. If it were up to me, I would retitle that show LOISVILLE, and every episode would involve Lois Lane doing household chores in her underwear.She's doing the vacuuming now... in her underwear. Nice.And now she's washing the windows. Look at that, some soap suds are dripping down into her cleavage. Oh my.P.S. It's possible I've been single too long. I need to get a girlfriend, or at least borrow someone else's for an hour.
-
Hoffman's a great actor.
-
It's early days yet. All I've really done is polish up my CV and make a couple of appointments with agencies.I'm hoping I can squeeze a solid month of loafing out of this before I have to go back to work.
-
It was an OK movie except for the part where Kevin Bacon doesn't send away his family to some undisclosed location far far away from the violent gang members threatening his life. As a father and husband, I found that plot point particularly offensive and retarded. Had it not been for that, it would have been a much better flick.
-
Being out of work, you should be home when your replacement package arrives.Glad you were able to see The Warlords.
-
I remember reading that argument about the flick, and agreeing with whoever wrote it before i saw the movie. Now, It aint a great flick, but the violence when unleashed is fantastic. But al that notwithstanding, having seen the movie I was not as put out about him not sending his family away as you were. yes, it would have made more sense, but then again, he had round the clock police protection. Who thinks common thugs will kill police just to get at him for mere revenge - ok, other than in Baltimore or Texas. I mean you can defend what he did or did not do based upon his belief that the police would protect him. Now, after the police protection was lifted, then yes, send the family away.
-
But for me the film was about how going after revenge pretty much ruined the guy's life, so it made sense it that context. He was naive, he killed the first guy thinking that would probably be the end of it, and it turned out to have nasty consequences. That was my take on it, anyway.

Well, even with police protection, I'd still send my child away
by hawaiian organ donor
I've seen enough movies and horrific news in my life to realize that posted sentries always get whacked.The gunfight at the end was well done and the scene at the parking garage was thrilling. I mean, it really tried to be an above average revenge movie.
-
Watched Meet the Fockers because Mrs. Jarv wouldn't let me turn it off
-
Excellent film. Any time you can mix together a bit of Chinese history with a bunch of fighting and whatnot, I'm there.
-
I was just looking at the list of films and I put little reminders next to them to help me remember after the other day when I couldn't remember Dawson v Squid. My favourite one is next to The Animal: "Rob Schneider is a cunt". That's not particularly helpful in identifying the movie, but fuck it's really funny.

Toadkillerdog, Dirk wanted me to warn you about the slippery slope you are on with regards to his chick, Mavra Chang.

Good to see you dude. Could have used some Ninja Fred around these parts last night to keep the TB afloat. As for Dirk: hmm, I do not really want to tangle with a lovesick Amoeba. Maybe we can work something out?
-
Every year, people say it's in decline; and every year I don't know what the hell they mean. I fucking love South Park and as far as I'm concerned the new stuff holds up just as well as the old. The Coon was hilarious (especially Cartman's inability to maintain his Batman voice), the one about the financial crisis was great, and I just got through laughing my ass off at the Kanye West one. It was moving when he accepted his true nature at the end.
-
I've already put on five or six pounds due to the excessive amount of drinking I've been doing in the past few weeks. Really, it's getting stupid. It doesn't help that I've got a friend going through something similar, so we are constantly commiserating with each other while trying to drown in booze.There's one last blow-out tonight, then I'm laying off for a while. That's it! Honest, I swear.

Fred does not think he will accept a timeshare on Mavra Chang though - he likes his chicks and popcorn kernels, to be available at all odd hours.

But hope to be back soon.
-
I like it.I agree with everyone who says it's retarded garbage, but fuck it it makes me laugh anyway. South Park is by far the superior show, but I have some room for a few dumb Family Guy laughs now and then, too.
-
That is too funny.
-
I totally agree with your South Park sentiments. Ever since about the fourth bloody season they've said it's 'lost it'. Fuck that. Every episode finds a way to make me laugh and also make very true statements about the world we live in. A recent example is the Disney/Jonas Brothers episode. Now, I have no fucking idea what a Jonas Brother is, but that fucking episode is genius. Especially Mickey Mouse kicking the shit out of the JB's and Cartmans comment that the most diseased place on the planet is an american females mouth. I love South Park.
-
having been really, really rude about it, the PTV episode was on last night and fuck me if I didn't laugh at 3/4 of it. Mostly because the shite he was putting on is remarkably similar to ITV's current line up. Without the sideboob hour.

Oddly enough, I think American Dad is generally brilliant
by hawaiian organ donor
Very underrated show in my humble opinion. Family Guy relies too much on a gimmick to be consistently funny. And even though I enjoy American Dad, I agree with Xiphos that McFarlane deserves to be punched in the throat.And I don't think I've ever watched more than 5 episodes of South Park. Stone and Parker annoy me because they seem to have become all that they mock. So I'd be happy to punch them in the throat too.
-
But Bale played him....and Cronenberg made a movie out of one of his books. A movie that is not as good as the book, sure....though, Crash has grown on me over the years. Thought it was alright when it came out, but liked it a lot more last time I saw it.
Family Guy makes me crazy. Family Guy should've died instead of Ballard. -
"A wonderful night for any novelist, and a reminder of the limits of the printed word," he wrote in 2006. "Sitting with the sober British contingent, surrounded by everyone from Dolly Parton to Sean Connery, I thought Spielberg's film would be drowned by the shimmer of mink and the diamond glitter.
"But once the curtains parted the audience was gripped. Chevy Chase, sitting next to me, seemed to think he was watching a newsreel, crying: 'Oh, oh . . . !' and leaping out of his seat as if ready to rush the screen in defense of young Bale." -

books on Saturday. I was talking about them with a couple of people and decided to go to the used book store and see if they had any. I struck out but I'm still looking.Now that I know he's passed I'm glad I changed my picture at Mavra last week to the cover of A Private Cosmos painted by Boris Vallejo. A fitting tribute, Kickaha is an asskicker of epic proportion. Just like PJF.

I remember when he was called Charles Breadtruck Barkley

Back in Auburn

but I thought I should check with you guys first.My Top 10 Movies to Watch High (in honor of April 20th)Too much? Not safe?
-
Last December he told the cops in Snobsdale he was speeding to get blown by a chick. That's not the disturbing part of the story.During the subsequent inventory of the Chucksters ride the Snottsdale PD found a bear claw pastery sitting on the backseat.
-
And when do I get to meet him?
-
I'm going to see Gomorrah. I should have a review in a few days.
-
DAMN I want to see that movie. In the trailer I can see my old stomping grounds!
-
You thought HB 2 was Heartless and sucked but HB 1 was amazing?????? WHHHAAAAAAAA??? I fucking hated Hellboy 1 the plot sucked there were no characters let alone character development. Plus that whole Meyers guy was stupid.
-
Chuck being a nick name for Charles. Charles Barkley is refered to as Chuck or the Chuckster.
-
I disagree. HellBoy 2 was amazing. The sets and costumes and makeup can't be beat. I was much better then Ironman.
-
Hellboy two looked just the same as 1 what was the difference? The gay hippie elf? Isn't that a direct rip off from the that gay midget travel movie with the ring? The golden army was dumb and look like shit.
-
How does HB 1 and 2 look exactly the same? HB 1 was a lot of CG where 2 was practical effects. Plus HB 1 didn't make any sense. There just is no pleasing you is there.
-
What an amazing sequel to a lukewarm first movie.
-
One of my favorite movies from last year. I was completely entertained from start to finish. I cant remember a movie doing that to me in a very long time. I was totally invested in the story and the characters, it had a badass sympathetic villain, and it was a visual feast. Nothing more needs to be said. Xi you really need to give either HB 1 or 2 another look. They look nothing alike. HB 2 is way more Pans Labyrin-thy than HB 1, which looked almost like any generic comic book movie.
-
Has it.
-
Never seen so many walk outs in my life. The crowd turned against the movie almost at once. I myself fucking hated it. Stupid piece of shit that seems like it was made by 12 year olds for 12 year olds. The Stath was badass as usual but fuck.....it was so awful. The only sort of good things in the movie were Staham boning his chick on the racetrack in front of everyone and the very end where a severed head comes into play. Lets hope they just put those scenes on youtube or something.
-
like most funny book movies. That's how the genre is defined in cinema. Once again, how does Ironman have anyhthing to do with this? Just by stating that it does not prove anything. Could you perhaps come up with an example?I'm pleased by things that are good, interesting or entertaining. All of which HB 1 and 2 proved not to be upon further viewings.One other thing, The golden Army was practical and not cgi? You might want to get your eyes checked.
-
I'm with the detractors on this to a point. Hellboy 2 was not great and the Golden Army did indeed look like shit. The gay hippie elf with the weird bond with his sister was also shit as was the goblin thingy with no legs. And don't get me started on Mcfartland's gay german smoke monster. I did like the Troll Market, and Perlman is excellent as Hellboy, but it just leaves me cold.
-
was OK. Would have been a festering bag of arse without downey. But luckliy for us, it had downey.
-
I don't think HB 2 is a generic comic book movie as such- it's more fantasy than funny book-y.
-
Not sure what it has to do with anything. IM was okay btw.
-
I'm with you on McFarlane. Fuck do I hate that guy. His voice completely pulled me out of the movie.
-
It has more in common with TDK.
-
and I'm coming round to Danny's thinking about it. It's a shit film with a wince inducing script elevated by a few stunning set pieces and some genuinly brilliant effects. I'd forgotten precisely how embarrasing Furlong is in it and some of the dialogue is just atrocious.
-
They're both just big summer comic movies. Neither is very heavy or dramatic, and both are pretty well done. Damn, what a dumb question.
-
I am honestly not that much of a fan. I loved Empire of The Sun, but loathed it's sequel. Loathed Cocaine NIghts and Super Cannes and am totally indifferent to crash. Hmmm....
-
I get that they are both summer movies based on comics, and that they are both professionally done, but I'd argue that HB2 is tonally, visually and thematically miles away from Iron Man. You can argue that Iron Man is Sci-Fi and HB Fantasy to a certain extent.
-
Which movie doesn't Jarv hate?
-
Comic books have many different genres, from noir to superhero to soap opera, so it makes sense for comic book movies to do the same thing. He was obviously speaking of their shared more lighthearted tone and lack of a more hard R rating like say, Watchmen, 300 or Sin City, all of which are comic movies. But Iron Man is a lot more like Hellboy than it is something like Sin City, which is much more experimental visually. There's all kinds of ways to look at it. So it's a dumb question because there are so many obvious answers.
-
I've been a fan of the two sequels for years. I like it okay. Evil Dead 2 is still the best. It was a good little horror flick though. It's the first horror movie I have seen and actually liked since The Strangers.
-
Apr 21, 2009 3:11:58 AM CDT
Loads of movies- Every time I watch one I post what I think of i
by lost jarv
And so far this year I've seen more I liked than hated. That's a totally inaccurate way to represent me. Anyway, I didn't hate HB2. It's a fully blown "meh" for me.
-
because they have less than fuck all in common. If you want to be a dick, then fine, but you're ignoring the fact that aside from the Comic book they are tonally, thematically and visually light years apart. I'm not weighing in on funny books- it's a statement of the fucking obvious.
-
It's sunny and I'm in a fairly happy mood.
-
top fucking movie- and arguably the only "pure" horror film of the 3 of them. I'm torn over whether or not I want to see an Evil Dead 4.
-
I'm just kind of a snarky bastard. Dumb questions are dumb questions. Of course they're different. One's about a demon man and the other is about a millionaire that builds a robot rocket suit. Not the same you say?Okay, redundant arguments over. I'm watching In Bruges now. It's completely different from what I expected, which is great.
-
Apr 21, 2009 3:54:17 AM CDT
HB2 is completely unrelated to IM
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I have rewatched both and HB2 holds up and IM doesn't. I was bored rewatching IM, but HB2 held my attention to the end. The troll market is an amazing scene. I liked the Golden Army. And the german guy was the dude from Family Guy? Fuck me. Well, he amused me too.
-
Or Uncle HOD will stuff you in the chipper.
-
Point being, there is very little point comparing Iron Man to HB unless it's something like Droid just did.
-
You just asked a fucking dumb question and I told you how dumb it was. Calling me a "dick" isn't making a better case for you. I'd rather be a dick than dumb.Anyways, I'm just yanking your chain man. Originally, I was just calling the question dumb, but all this carried on way too long.

I watched the Sit Down, Shut Up pilot last night
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was mildly amusing. A bit too early to pass judgement on it. Remember the first few Simpsons? Ugh!
-
it isn't a fucking dumb question- they've fuck all in common aside from the fact that they're both based on comic books. It's like comparing Pride and Prejudice to Fight Club as they're both based on fucking novels. Anyway, enough is enough especially seeing as it wasn't even my question to begin with.
-
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck me. First IMDb and now here as well.
-
more bickering.
-
The goldbug army was kinda fun and ditto the plantgod fight. But overall it just left me cold too. Iron Man was a whole lotta fun meanwhile. Let's hope they can do that again. Shouldn't Charles Barkley star as the state of Alabama sometime?
-
HB II had giant robots. That means you have to declare your love for it now.
-
I'm going for a walk in the park soon.
-
And here I am stuck at work.
-
many nights I have been up with insomnia while he is waking up to the cool morning dew.Jarv, top ten movies? That's a list I am curious about.
-
There's s few mainstays, about six of them, but I flutter over the others depending on mood. In no particular order: Alien, The Thing, The Exorcist, Requiem For A Dream (I know, I know), Raiders of The Lost Ark, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Today I'm feeling love for The Lives of Others, Goodfellas, The Princess Bride, and Trainspotting (because I'm re-reading the book at the moment).
-
My only mainstay is Back to the Future. It'd be hard for me to pin down a definitive Top 10. I'd go The Sting over Butch and Sundance. Jaws would be in there. Raiders. Cool Hand Luke. The Naked Gun. Planes, Trains. Groundhog Day. Requiem is awesome, but not top 10. Hell, most of those are awesome and would be around the mark. I haven't seen The Lives of Others. Not a fan of Trainspotting. I'd need to rewatch it since I saw it in high school. Fuck that was a long time ago.
-
I have an actual serious apology for you. Someone on the AIB site (in the Dear Mr. Bale section) thought they would have some fun with my name. Naturally, I felt the need to retaliate. I never can leave these things alone. I apologize because I did bring your name into it. You were my best first backup for my response. Thanks for letting me use you. No harm on you, your name, or your machismo was intended.
-
but I used to have it on video and knew every line in it- Film 4 are showing it at the moment, but I want to finish the book again first.I'm the same, there's a pool of about 20-25 films that I draw from: Airplane Fistfull of Dollars, La Haine etc but I've always got Alien, The Thing etc in it.
-
In no particular order: Alien, The Thing, The Exorcist, Requiem For A Dream (I know, I know), Raiders of The Lost Ark, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid,The Lives of Others, Goodfellas, The Princess Bride, City of God, La Haine, Fistfull Of Dollars, One of the Star Wars Films (probably ESB), Trainspotting, Airplane, Back To The Future, Godfather, Jaws, Terminator, Blade Runner, Apocalypse Now, Ghostbusters, Flash Gordon (hehehehehehe), Battle Royale.
-
But not nec. enough to make me go KooKoo for Hellboy Too. I liked it okay though. Preferred the Mummy III though. That had Yetis. I like Yetis.
-
1. Back to the Future 2-25 ish... The Sting, Jaws, Raiders, Cool Hand Luke, The Naked Gun, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Groundhog Day, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Goodfellas, Midnight Run, Empire Strikes Back, Shawshank, Major League (any flick I can watch over 20 times and still love like I’m seeing it for the first time has to be in there), Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Terminator, The Abyss, Alien, Aliens, Adaptation, Say Anything, Heat, The Godfather, JFK. Those are probably interchangable with another 25 flicks that I haven't though of.
-
thinking about it, I can probably spout off another 25 films I absolutely love and wouldn't be ashamed to mention as the ones I did- You've got several of them- Lists are fun. Bottom 10?- Shrooms, Forrest Gump, American Beauty, Titanic, Lust Caution, Pearl Harbour, Gigli, Jersey Girl, Cold Mountain, Half Light. Lust Caution and Shrooms are recent additions and have bumped G.I.Jane and Attack of The Clones off the list.
-
Look at that "Wolverine Teaser" story. He pretty much disregards all Gambit and Deadpool fans and their criticisms of how the movie destroys those characters, only to go on and BLAST FOX for "fucking up" the Emma Frost character by giving her a "diamond skin" power. Then he rants about how they don't give a fuck about characters, yadda yadda yadda... without doing one shred of research to back his claims. Then he does look it up. Ooops. Turns out, Emma Frost DOES have that diamond skin power from the comics. So all that vitriol wasted bc of his own IGNORANCE. He's like a 6 yr old kid with a mental disorder sometimes.
-
Morning Express with Robin Meade (shagadelic) just ran a story on a surfer who was bit by a shark. She then throws it to the weatherman "Hey that's your nightmare, right? You're a surfer." He replies "Well, its zombies coming out. But sharks too, yeah."
-
GI Jane, Hannibal, Spawn, The Love Guru, Alone in the Dark, Meet Joe Black, Norbit, Deuce Bigelow 2, XXX, Battlefield Earth
-
forgot about XXX. Swap that for American Beauty.
-
Harry has had his gigantic ass handed to him by the TB-ers.
-
I've got three Ridley Scott flicks, one in Top 25, two in bottom 10. We both have a different Martin Brest flick in our B10, but I have one of his in T25. Whats Half Light? Is that with Demi Moore?
-
and is one of the most tedious, insutingly stupid, predictable, half assed, wretched, irritating pieces of shit ever to crawl it's way on to screen. I fucking hate Meet Joe Black, Hannibal, Deuce Bigalow, Spawn. They are all serious contenders.
-
Um...Southland Tales, In The Name Of The King, Children Of The Living Dead, Blues Brothers 2000, Rollerball (remake), Transformers.Shit, that's only 6. Please insert 4 Paul Walker films to make up the numbers.
-
If you think about it, nobody can really deny that Blade Runner and Alien are out and out classics, but Hannibal and G.I.Jane are fucking stinkingly bad. Is there anyone more inconsistent than Scott? I did toy with putting in The Lost World and Hook in the bottom 10, but I remember that I hated other films more.
-
I annoyed two different girlfriends with that one. Once when I dragged one along to see it at the cinema, and once about a year later when I thought I'd give it another go on video with a different girlfriend and it was still shit.So, that's only 3 Paul Walker films needed to pad the list.
-
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Big Lebowski, Cool Hand Luke, Die Hard, Aliens, Annie Hall, Big Trouble In Little China, Spinal Tap, Apocalypse Now, Memento.
-
had a few good set pieces, like the trailer hangin over the cliff, so that's enough to get it a pass. Overall it was shit though. Just not Bottom 10 shit. Southland Tales and Rollerball remake are worthy contenders. I don't remember Hook at all, which indicates it was shit. Just how shit, i don't remember.
-
can't make up me mind. I know Alien is Number 1. Then Blade Runner, The Thing and The Abyss are thereabouts. I just don't know. So many films...In the bottom - AvP, AvP:R, House Of Wax (remake) and ET.
-
All up there. Millers Crossing and LA Confidential would be up there as well.
-
WTF?
-
Might have something to do with it destroying Blade Runner and The Thing that same year. I admit it's a childish hatred. But it's my fookin list!
-
I don't hate it enough to put it on a list or nothing, but I never really understood what all the fuss was about with that one.Also, ET is not funny or scary. Aliens should either be funny (ALF) or scary (The Thing, Alien).
-
Apr 21, 2009 7:36:01 AM CDT
I watched both Blade Runner and The Thing...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
for the first time this year. I've tried twice before to watch BR but it was so fucking boring I turned it off. First the theatrical then the directors cut version. I watched the latest, eighteenth version Scott released and while it was visually spectacular, it left me cold. And bored. Not a fan. But I suppose I can see why some people are. If only the story and characters lived up to the visuals. The Thing on the other hand was just fucking awesome from start to finish.
-
Last night, Borat (funny) and The Ex, which everyone warned me not to watch but I watched it anyway (because I am an idiot). This morning, I saw Sweet November, which was sappy as hell and not my cup of tea at all, but it did have around 60 seconds of Lauren Graham in her underwear. So, a mixed bag that one.
-
I haven't seen the remastered version. Has anyone? Didn't they change things like flashlights instead of shotguns or something?
-
I watched a Seinfeld last night that had Lauren Graham in it. She was Jerrys girlfriend and he was trying to get to number one on her speed dial. Funny.
-
Watching it again recently (the final cut) confirmed that for me. It's a beautiful film to look at, and I really like the story and the characters. A lot of people complain that it's boring, but I've never been bored by it in all the times I've seen it.
-
Blade Runner doesn't need a script - it's visual storytelling. I agree the script could be better but the characters are a memorable bunch.
-
Oh wait...I see, the Gilmore angle.Never mind.
-
The time to watch movies is seriously lacking now...
-
my wasting time on the nets.Bastards.
-
They have a pretty impressive list of actresses who were Jerry's girlfriend and then went on to bigger things - Lauren Graham, Courtney Cox, Amanda Peet, Terry Hatcher, Stiffler's Mom, probably others who I can't remember.Was it you who got me back in to Seinfeld, droid? I remember talking to someone during Christmas about the Festivus episode, which made me go and buy the season 9 dvd set. I think it was you. If so, cheers for that. I've almost finished watching them all, and I don't think there's a single bad episode. Funny, funny stuff.
-
You wake up, you smell the roses, you make yourself some delicious scrambled eggs on toast, and you eat it while watching a bad soppy romance film.It is the way we should all live our lives.

Apr 21, 2009 8:11:30 AM CDT
Well, I do remember pushing festivus
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
So maybe it was me. Such a brilliant episode. The Festivus pole ("It requires no decoration. I find tinsel distracting."), the airing of grievances, the feats of strength and the festivus miracles. Genius.
-
Apr 21, 2009 8:14:20 AM CDT
Damn. Thought of three more for the Top 25
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Predator, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard. It'd be very difficult to make an official list.
-
I can think of hundreds that I love. The bottom 10 is more set, there is only about another 10 contenders and they aren't as loathed as the ones I put on- even AvP:Rectum (which I truly despise).
-

Kearney over Armitage is a joke, as is Scrum and Fly Half. I don't know why they picked Evans for the punt when there's 3 good full backs. If they were going to have a bet it should have been at FH.
-
See Fu is right in saying that HB 1 and Ironman are in the same category of comic book movies that is what they are. Generic takes on a comic with obviously a lot of studio involvement. Hellboy 2 on the other GDT had a lot more breathing room and did a lot with it. I mean the main character is this like 500 pound beast devil the fact that you care for it at all should say something. I mean I don't really know what you expect going into a movie like Hellboy but Hellboy 2 fucking delivered and in a big way. Yes I realize that a lot of the Golden Army was CG but the entirety of it was not CG like I barely remember the monster in the first one but there was not a part of that monster that wasn't CG. I'm starting to think maybe movies like Hellboy 2 are lost on some of you older blokes.

Is that what you mean by similar?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
They're both the first flicks in a franchise and had studio meddling? Well, okay. Can't argue with that. I think I'm the same age as Jarv (30) and I liked HB2 a lot and he didn't. Don't think age has anything to do with it.

That's fucked us good and proper. Unless someone teaches Mahmood how to fucking bowl accurately in a very short time. Which I think is impossible given that all indications are that he's thick as pigshit, and if he was going to learn, would have done so by now. A bowling lineup of Freddie, Anderson, Broad, Swann/Panesar and A.N.Other out of Grievious, Mahmood, Khan, Ali etc is hardly going to put the fear of god into you convict bastards.
-
Apr 21, 2009 10:59:01 AM CDT
Nah, that line up is pretty unthreatening
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But with Jones there may have been a bit of a psychological edge there. A few memories from 2005 that could've rattled us. Probably not, but you never know. Anyway, thats a moot point since he's out.
-
Gonna try and get home and see some of this fucking sunshine. Good evening one and all.
-
is a good lineup. The problem England have is that there is fuck all beyond Broad and Anderson, and Flintoff can't carry a lot of overs any more- hence why we need 5 Bowlers. JOnes is shit hot when fit, can bat a bit and would have made a hell of a difference

I loved the first Hellboy. To me the character's where rich and real. The interaction between HB and his father and his friends was warm and very well written and acted. The action was outstanding. HBII on the other hand, was the same old 'bigger is better' BS. The characterizations were totally false. The forced camaraderie was of the drunk scene was embarrassing. The forced tension between HB and his woman, was laughable. The recycled Pans designs were lazy. The Opening scne of the movie was a total rip off of MIB. Not too mention the glasses that see monsters. The Troll alley thing evoked Diagon alley with more thingies. The villain was just pathetic. Gay, weak, talky and with truly idiotic excuse for revenge. On the plus side, the plant fight thingie was decent, and Perlman was very good - even though saddled with bad dialogue. I did not hate it. I just did not like it. And Fu and Series, what does Iron Man have to do with it?
-

What a fucking Cocktease after hearing for like a year now how Jeffery Raines Goldblum is joining that cast after Peter North died they open the season with a pretty lame Vincent D'Onofrio episode?

ThereWolf, you're nuts!

Saw it again sunday afternoon (the first time I was working and didn't grasp just how good an episode it was). Great acting across the board on that one, including Tony Goldwyn.

Aside from the awesome set pieces (trailer over the cliff scene, tent ambush scene, compy attack scene, raptor scene), the camerawork is fun and playful- something you don't always see from Spielberg. See how he moves the camera and cuts between close following shots as Peter Stormare falls down the hill. Also note the long take following Richard Shiff (Eddie) as he tries to tie up the trailer and throw a rope to the dangling survivors during the cliff scene. The camera goes from outside to into the trailer to peering down the hole without much notice. I could go on, but its late, I've had some scotch, and I'll start repeating my adjectives.

Do you know anything about Ted Bundy? If you read about him and the FUCK up shit he did you'll realize HOW lazy crime TV show writers are. All they do is write what he did over and over. That whole with holding evidence to suspend execution is Ted Bundy. Man I love that episode though. I've seen it a bunch of times. Like I run deliveries and this one stop had the TV playing and that episode came on and I sat down and watched like 20 minutes of it before i realized that I was going to be late.

The Deliberate Stranger. And that whats his name from NCIS- Mark Harmon, that's it- played him in the TV movie when I watched it in middle school (despite it having been made when I was 4 or 5 years old.
-
I've been talking a lot of shit about Harry. Its not that bad, honestly, but who knows with this immature AICN crowd? I treat him like I'd treat any idiotic Talkbacker who decided to call someone out for not researching the truth when he himself sounded like an idiot for spreading false information (by not researching the truth). If it happens, just wanted to say this : Good luck; we're all counting on you.

Titicut Follies was directed by Frederick Wiseman
by menleavingfactory1903
The greatest documentarian of all time. High School and The Store are some of his best. Fly on the wall cinema verite stuff.
-
Seeing that your name embiggens the first movie ever, it Titicut Follies worth sitting through? Kind of like Men Leaving Factory?
-
Wiseman would gather an infinite amount of footage before assembling a film. People got used to him and his camera man. Although I don't think a cameraman could capture the real humanity Wiseman did these days - people are too aware of the camera's presence.
-
Where you been talking smack? I don't think Harry reads TB's any more.
-
but it is punishing material.
-
I think Men Leaving Factory should be remade with Martin Lawrence and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
-
I'll probably watch it then. Anyone seen the ad for While She Was Out with Kim Bassinger? Bassinger? Looks pretty sweet. I never saw that Jodie Foster movie but this kind of looks like that.
-
Should be a short film/TV ad starring the cast of The Expendables. That would be pretty sweet. And JCVD missed the boat on that one.
-
I don't think JCVD will ever be in a movie where he's not the main character, which is good, because I enjoy him in direct to DVD crapfests. Apparently Kurt Russell doesn't like ensemble work either.
-
Have any of seen or heard about a zombie show, maybe from TV, called Dead Set?If you have is it worth a look or is it a pass?
-
and it's OK. Not Earth shattering, but alright.
-
I loves me some low rent van damage. I do not want to see him supporting people. Surprisingly, when he tries, he actually can act (I'm thinking of Legionnaire here).
-
Interestingly, is written by Charlie Brooker (who did the singly funniest thing I saw on TV in 2008), and it's at it's sharpest when skewering Big Brother (which I despise). The zombie action is a bit meh, and the supporting non BB characters are a bit whiny. It also rips off 28 days later heavily. As I say, it's worth a look, and is only 5 25 minute episodes so isn't too much of a trial.
-
I watched nothing because of a sun induced drunkening. 500 for the year is going to be unlikely. Maybe I should set a more realistic goal of 250 that I've not seen before.
-
sigh. I hate work.
-
300 movies. But I'll probably be at 100 by May. So 300 may be doable.
-
NW London is lovely in the spring. *sigh*
-
as I'm already on 140 odd. If I make 200 by the end of May it's still on.

Zombie Divina McCall is hilarious- and not too far different from real life. The best bit by far is whenn the producer is caught in a room with one of the submoron contestants

it's a shithole, sure enough, but at least I'm near to 2 Parks.*SOB*
-
except it would have been a bit blatant.

And thats about it. Otherwise did fuck all except enjoy a bit of the sun. Which is shitty when you can't booze. Payday is tomorrow and I'm currently as broke as an american car company.

Apr 22, 2009 3:36:56 AM CDT
Yes, and I was reading that they could possibly...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
be better off with the new fucking system. It's all a complete load of horseshit. Fuck Brown and fuck the entire government while we're at it. Greedy fuckers. I need to get myself into a position of power so I can be a greedy fucker too. And charge porn to my expense account.
-
Apr 22, 2009 3:39:59 AM CDT
I just like that he repeats sincerely four times
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
All in the name of calling him an asscunt. Hilarious.
-
Bastards. I find the fact that the fucking twat charged Ocean's 13 TWICE to us more offensive than the fact that he was watching s few scud movies. And let's face it if you had to fuck Jacqui "pigdog" Smith you'd need a bit of visual stimulation first.
-
that Harry performed in that Wolverine story. Not that I've got a fucking clue who is or isn't Emma Frost (and I don't really care), and lets not forget the fact that I'd rather slit open my own scrotum with a razor blade then bathe it in lemon juice before paying money to watch Wolverine.

That's a pretty strong stance against Wolvie
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I will be seeing it at the cinema with my monthly unlimted card. And I foresee I will enjoy the hell out of it because I really have no idea about the X-Men funny books and don't care to know. It looks like a cheesy 80's style action pic. My cup of tea.
-
to a greater or lesser extent, so have no desire at all to inflict another one on myself.
-
Apr 22, 2009 4:01:54 AM CDT
I've been very indifferent to the X-Men flicks
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
All three of them have been average at best, but none of them have been shit. I like Jackman, and Wolvie looks like fun. And my sister wants to see it so I'll go with her.
-
Apr 22, 2009 4:13:24 AM CDT
I was thinking the other day that the only superhero flick...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
that's truly stood the test of time has been Donner's Superman (and 2). Burtons Batman (although I love Returns) hasn't. I rewatched Spiderman late last year and that's already showing signs of age. Iron Man doesn't hold up to repeat viewings. Hulk does! *pokes Jarv with a stick* The Incredible Hulk doesn't. The new Batmans look like they might, but time will tell. What am I saying? Who the fuck knows. Probably just appreciating how good Supes is.
-
and really despise the third one (aside from Blue Frasier Crane), the second one bores me to tears. After Turdmen/Voldefilm I'm right off comic book adaptations

a 3rd DaVinci code movie? Fuck's sake. The first one was bad enough, and it's one of the most atrocious books I've read in a long time.
-
Apr 22, 2009 4:22:12 AM CDT
Yeah, funny books are way overexposed right now
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And every second flick that I read about getting made is some sort of funny book adaptation. It's bullshit.
-
Apr 22, 2009 4:24:14 AM CDT
And some prick on that TB compared...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Dan Brown to Stephen King. What a dumbshit.
-
All Pixar. Including Up which isn't even out yet. Funny. They are all awesome though. Cars... not so much.
-
really can't stand it. I think I like The Incredibles the best. Although Wall-E is delightful.
-
but I suspect that it won't stand up.
-
I really don't know how you can dislike it. But each to their own. I was channel hopping a few weeks ago and came across it just as it started. I sat there glued to to fucking tv for the entire movie. It's brilliant. The Incredibles is my favorite. In fact that'd definitely be in my Top 25. I can't really differentiate between the others since they are all so good. Except Cars. That blows.
-
I don't think I've ever made one before. It does change alot so please be gentle. 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey 2. Taxi Driver 3. Once Upon a Time in the West 4. Robocop 5. Blue velvet 6. The Shining 7. Sin City 8. Silence of the Lambs 9. Mulholland Drive 10. Being John Malkovich No room left but ANG LEES' Hulk(sorry Jarv) and Silent Running are sometimes on there as well.
-
is that it felt like something fucking Dreamworks would pump out. A soulless celebrity voices pandering shitfest like Shrek, Madagascar or Shark Tale. Maybe not that bad, but it was comparable.
-
is that it's a low rent shitty remake of Doc Hollywood without a single redeeming feature. Soulless is the perfect description of it.
-
not even the most rabid slave labour hulk fan would pretend that it's a top 10 movie. Cue Hulk argument #9,265,000
-
Fuck I hate that flick. Replace that with Hulk! STAT! Otherwise good list. Most of those, with the exception of maybe Blue Velvet and Sin City would be around the mark of a Top 25 berth.
-
Like Blue Velvet and Sin City- swap MD for Elephant Man and weirdly I've never really liked 2001.
-
Apr 22, 2009 4:51:35 AM CDT
Gotta agree. Hulk is genius. BUT...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Not Top 10 material for me. It would sneak into a Top 50. The ending is just too insane. And not in a good way.
-
Apr 22, 2009 4:52:43 AM CDT
Silence of the Lambs is brilliant
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
As is Manhunter.
-
He looks constipated, Hulk Dogs, shitty ending, wretched Nolte performance, idiotic comic strip filming, pretentious script. It's risible.
-
Fact. Search your feelings, you know this to be true.
-
Apr 22, 2009 4:56:41 AM CDT
We seem to have uncovered another CoC endorsed flick
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
The Frighteners. It's getting 100% support on MyMavra. Great flick that.
-
just a wee bit overrated.
-
Great little film.
-
Apr 22, 2009 5:02:34 AM CDT
Agree, if only for Cox as Lecter. But both are brilliant.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Hulk Dogs - Creepy and brutal. Great scene. Shitty ending - Have to agree. Wretched Nolte performance - Greatest Nolte performance of all time. Idiotic comic strip filming - Brilliant editing. Love the comic book design. Pretentious script - Actually trying to give depth to a grunting, idiotic monster and asking a little more from an audience than morononic monosyllabic characters = Pretentious?
-
On that note, I'm off for a smoke in the sun.
-
Pretentious= Actors studio shit at end. Hulk Dogs= not creepy and lame. Not to mention dumbassed Nolte chews more scenery than even in U-Turn. Agree, though, that Hulk is a moronic monosyllabic monster, so therefore any film with him in it should be fun. Slave Labour Hulk is not fun.
-
idiotic choice. It just highlights the limitations of Funny books as source material.
-
I think that the Comic book thing is what I hate most about it. I suspect that if it wasn't made by Ang Lee then nobody would try to pretend that it's good.
-
I have to see this. I'm writing up a schlock vault series of reviews for mymavra- I've done Troll 2 and Dark Angel so far. It's too nice today to do any proper work.
-
I just got my sticky fingers on not one, but all six Leprechaun flicks! I momentarily considered doing a Frankie style "athon" but then came to my senses. I will make my way through them over the coming weeks. Never seen any of them.
-
Apr 22, 2009 5:44:02 AM CDT
I had more fun with ding dongs Hulk than...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
cheese eating surrender monkeys Hulk. And the action in Hulk is far far better than TIH. And in TIH he really is a big, dumb monster. In Hulk he at least excudes some personality, even if it's just how pissed off he gets at those annoying bullets and tank shells.
-
I remember being so excited to see it when I was younger, having no clue who Peter Jackson was. When its on tv, I try to catch it. Need to show it to my girlfriend sometime. But when its on network tv, I HATE how they edit Jeffrey Combs' death scene. Instead of seeing his head disappear (due to shotgun blast), yet have his "Ghost Head" remain in place with a quizzical look on his face- something I don't recall being that graphic- we just see him blasted backward into a wall. Very lame. Ruins the whole ghost angle.
-
Are you really a famous SAG actor and you're not telling us?
-
Which why I pimp Hulk very much. Nah, over here theres a cinema chain that has a pay monthly unlimited card. It's 15 quid and you can go to as many times as you want. I hadn't used it for ages until last week when I saw three flicks. Being that they are about 8 or 9 quid each over here, it's worth it.

Question: Who wrote this post?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
UFOs Are Real by ?????????????
Who or what is flying them is up for debate...but these craft are real...and the governments of the world feel a need to cover-up the truth about them. You know something is up when the U.S. government creates a law that states that you cannot broadcast a invitation to alien species into outer space, for fear of attracting an invasion force of aliens. There is an actual law on the books that states this, I am not kidding about it. That should tell you all you need to know about this subject matter. Take a wild fucking guess? -
Media Messiah for the win!
-
The blokes a nutbag if ever I saw one.
-
Watched Sudden Death last night. I'm feeling a bit mixed about it since they kind of toned him down in terms of kicking ass. I mean every bad guy he fought gave him a bit of a tussle, even Powers Boothe! It was watching either that or Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, which I watched bits of since the Brandon Lee connection was there. Man, it's a real shame what happened to him.
-
There, I've participated in Ang Lee Hulk Debate #13,895.
-
Is that my daughter loves it and has watched it only slightly less than the number of Lee Hulk debates.
-
Am I eligible for the Tournament of Champions now?
-
Nah, that was ages ago.
-
Apr 22, 2009 6:32:04 AM CDT
The question was a bit too easy, Mav.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
MM is the obvious answer, since he's nuttier than squirrel shit.
-
He does have that M.O. No new car for me this round. Maybe next time.
-
Because I added those in replace of his name.
-
Do you feel a sudden lust for all things Whedon and a certainty that everyone is siphoning your brain for million dollar ideas?
-
Do I just send these schlock bin reviews to you?
-
He's a fucking twat.
-
Hulk v Indistinct idea? That's just shit.
-
That would be fantastic. Thanks very much. I'll message you my direct email.
-
Hulk v Indistinct idea? That's just shit.
-
If there are any special pics you want with your reviews, send me the URL and I will add them.
-
In it from Troll 2. I'll include everything- I need a specific picture of a monster hiding in a dustbin as well.
-
As I say, I've finished the Troll 2 and Dark Angel ones- I'm so jealous of Droid's upcoming Lepathon. The best ones are Lep in space and Lep in da hood (with coolio!).
-
That's a good idea. And I know precisely where to get that picture from.
-
I like it.
-
Released on UK Cinemas on 24th of April. Whether or not any changian has seen it, it's a requirement that we go. FOR OUTLANDDDEEEEEER!
-
Excellent.I decided recently that I don't think I can have a top ten list. There are a few movies that will probably always make the cut regardless of the mood I'm in (Strangelove, Raiders, ESB, BTTF) but I find that my list varies wildly depending on my current life situation and the time of year.If I'm in the mood where I want to smash someone in the face with a shovel knocking them into a chipper, then Die Hard might make the cut. If it's a lovely spring day and my daughter gives me a hug before I drive off to the place that destroys chunks of my soul every time I walk through the door, then maybe I'll lean towards Say Anything.Van Damme proved he can act in JCVD. Are Series and I the only ones who saw it?I'm so goddamn broke I had to settle for drinking Coke with my cigar last night. Not even enough money for one of those $5 bottles of port the supplier distills in the back of his minivan.So right now I'm processing paperwork for an employee who died of morbid obesity. Seriously, I can't believe the death certificate says that's the cause of death. Well, at least the widow has a conversation killer for parties when people ask her how her husband died.I did give you Outlander, right Jarv? I'd be a right prick if I didn't.
-
and it's much appreciated every time I get back from a partial drunkening. My pikey mate swears that he's got the scotch for me now, I'm seeing him thursday, so *fingers crossed*
-
And while I thought it was a little overrated Van Damme totally blew me away. I was sorry to hear about him dropping out of The Expendables. I hope he makes a comeback some other way.
-
I could have had ThereWolf's scotch with my smoke but that Ardbeg is very smokey, so combined with the cigar I thought it might punch out both my kidneys and tear my liver asunder.What a beautiful day it is outside. This is sitting on the deck with your mates and a bucket of Corona weather.

The Lepathon's going to do my head in
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I know it. I hear ya, HOD. I'm down to rationing my smokes until payday tomorrow. No booze at all, and it's bloody killing me. The weather is calling out for a beer sesh. You keep focusing all your negative statements on the end, Jarv, which I have conceded misfires completely. The action in the desert where he destroys the tanks and the helicopters and then in San Francisco is awesome. Also, Bana > Norton, Connelly > Tyler and Elliott > Hurt, Nolte > Roth, Ding Dong > Surrender Monkey. Finally... Bright Green Hulk > Mouldy Green Hulk. MM was in the Whitley Strieber TB. And that's me caught up.
-

I officially drop all Hulk discussions in the chipper
by hawaiian organ donor
There. All that remains are bloody chunks of green flesh and shards of radiated bone. No more Hulk talk. C'est fini.OK, I'm going to read the Wolverine TB. I always enjoy a good backlash.
-
I'll give you the tanks and Elliot. Roth better than subordinate douche in Prawn Cracker Hulk Norton>Bana Tyler>Connoly. Flashback daddy issues suck heavily.
-
Funny. Nortons Banner was a whiny bitch. I wouldn't have noticed Tyler was even in it if they didn't have a scene with her in the rain, where coincidentally, Banner is running away like a little bitch. Flashback Daddy issues may suck (in your opinion), but at least they had the balls to try and create a character, provide motivation and explain the source of his rage. Which is what effects his transformation into the Hulk. Pepé Le Pew's Hulk is just a meathead who has no idea what he's doing. But since HOD has brought in the chipper and we are never going to settle this, I'll give it a rest.

09:22:53 AM Then he could rant and curse at Fox for fucking up the movie real good. because you know what makes The Faculty a shitty movie?The retarded film teacher that's onscreen for five seconds. -
anyway, subject dropped.

Harry's generally Ok with insults aimed at him.
-
It's good
-
Apr 22, 2009 9:45:14 AM CDT
I will say this about Harry...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
He's a lot more tolerant with that stuff than I would be. A lot of TB'ers talk a lot of shit about him and his missus and rarely get banned. I have on the odd occasion. And that TB is a free for all. But for some fucking reason some prick started getting stuck into aussies. Motherfucker.

I just think neither of the Hulk movies were good enough to warrant any real discussion. I mean I saw them, left, took a shit, totally forget about them.
-
£200bn for the next 3 years. They should have let the fucking banks go to the wall- that's £250bn right there. Cocksuckers.

£200bn per year. Best Hulk film is the one with Thor in it. In fact, that's the only good one.

I should grab the original Hulk series
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Never seen them. Apparently it's great.
-
I was being sarcastic, trying to be ironic comparing Harry's damning condemnation of "Wolverine" because of a character who is only in 30 seconds of film to his short cameo (which I thought was quite cool at the time) in "The Faculty". Honestly, I'm treating him like I'd treat any other retarded Talkbacker.
-
His black ninja garb looked much cooler than Affleck's red leather biker gear. The way I remember it anyway.
-
is scream with The Bodysnatchers
-
it's even worse than my other one. Fuck.
-
I may tinker with it to try to make it funnier. I had my serious hat on to fit the material. hehehehehe
-
I found an icon for the thing as well
-
Please don't put anything up if it's shit. I'm no judge of my own stuff. Do you want those Dummied up posters as well?
-
lost connection. I hate our IT monkey.
-
Huzzah.
-
Yes, I'd love to post the posters. Do you want them as their own topic? Just let me know.
-
That just came out not to long ago I want to see. Its got Deadpool in it.
-
i've started a savings account for bail money
-
The other day? Its been pretty ok.
-
And little boys? Like he won't kill him. They should go and make him a full fledged pedophile, that would be pretty funny.
-
great movies all. some of the battle scences in longest day were excelent, particularly the one where the 82nd paracuted into the town. i'd say the d-day landing was better than saving private ryan with one cavet. decpections of individual soldiering wasn't so crash hot. there are scences of dude stroling up the beech under fire. if that were me id be busting my ass up the beech looking for a firing position. id personally be runing faster than i had ever run before not pausing, having a bit of a sticky beak than strolling toward the enemy. crucibal was excellent. never been a huge 'wino forever' fan but she was excellent in this. stand by me was awesome as well. perhaps the greatest kid cast ever, even minor roles were filled by dudes who went on to be stars, like john cusack. anyway, keep it real beeches.
-
The Xmen flicks have been okay, the second one was the best of course. But I don't really plan on seeing this latest one, whatever you wanna call it. And I like the Terminator flick coming up as it has Giant Robots and Bats in it both. you can't go wrong there.
-
Might's well just put Little Jarv into a meat-grinder and begin' crankin' Ow. You know, Harold and Emma Frost there--why does he fuckin' bother?? It's not like Rothman there stands a chance w/ this site anyways, and as far's the Wolvie flick-I'm not gonna bother. But why bitch like this--? Harold--go watch your Houston Astros play the D-Backs for a while. Hunter Pence and all that. Go Harold Go.
-
Zombie Night tonight! Oh wait, no, tonight's LOST night.
-
Simon and Simon AND Kojak. First 3 seasons each. Very cool.
-
Weekend at Bernies 2 - Bernie reanimated by voodoo. Just bad.
It may not be the all time worst but it is very bad. -
I remember enjoying Weekend at Bernie's II IMMENSELY as a kid. I need to rewatch it and see how it stands up. Come on! He gets shot through the head with a harpoon while carrying a treasure chest underwater! Genius!
-
Was just kind of boring. Why make a movie where Billy can't talk?
-
The Astros played the evil Dodgers today. The D-Backs beat the Rockies.Re: Hulk vs Hulk. Surrender Hulk beats slave labor Hulk by a red hair. Both Hulks aren't that good and I would pass right on by if I came across them on TV.Lost is still on? I'm surprised.Chipps, you mean when the Army Air Corps Pilot panicked, hit the greenlight early and dumped the paratroopers out in the wrong place?Also, Chipps, if you need bail money let me know. I'll wire you some.

Either that Aussie movie Undead, wasn't a big fan. Or Dead and Buried I think that was about zombies, either way it was fucking terrible.
-
I was walking past Morrisons on my way home and I swung in to get some beer. As I was queueing to pay I noticed that there was an Arnie box set on sale for £5. Obviously, that had to be bought. And there was Big Trouble in Little China for £3.
Score- so last night I watched Raw Deal. Which I'd never seen before and quite enjoyed, and Walking Tall. Which was funny, but poo. -
I've got 7 days left so 160 should not be out of the question. Which makes 500 for the year a totally feasible goal.
-
not Arnold's best. Rely's far too much on his acting (which isn't his strong point). Still, good for some chuckles.
-
Last night I watched.... HULK!!! *pokes Jarv with a stick* Now, I won't harp on too much and I don't want to start another flamewar but... It's fucking good. And also, it really doesn't go pear shaped until the last five minutes when Nolte turns into a gigantic water bubble of energy. And the epilogue is shitty, with a shitty fake beard and the shitty use of 'You won't like me when I'm angry'. In spanish as well. So I'll concede that. But the rest of the flick is awesome. I love the way it takes it's time to build and then the second hour is just an action fest of Hulk destruction. And that's really all I'll say about it, because we really don't need Hulk convo #392,374,189. Morning all.
-
thanks for the kind offer but i'm just joking (sort of - the cops did chase after me last year but i was too quick) yeah, that was a great scence, all through the eyes of one doomed paratrooper, watching over the bedlam. great scence. no, i think in general as the troops got off the carriers on the beach they didnt haul ass, or put much effort into seeking cover. also there was a lot of officers standing at the front on the beach waving their arms and going 'come on boys' while walking up the beach. again. when you are under heavy fire, and you are totally exposed and the only cover is up ahead, i rather doubt you need some redundant arsehole yelling 'come on boys' to motivate you to get up the beach, but these guys get off their transports and are just standing around. the scences were massive and impressive, but forget about training and experience, just plain common sence would suggest you take cover. what was kinda funny was i backed this one up with 'stand by me' which had corey fieldman constantly yelling 'my dad stormed the beaches at normandy!'
-
I haven't seen that for AGES. Probably about 15 years. Doesn't it have Sharon Stone in it? Or am I mistaken. I remember his wife being a young hot blonde who bitched, moaned and whined. She sorely needed a swift taste of the backhand from Arnie. Other than that I don't really remember it. Something about drugs, and Arnies a cop or FBI or something. It requires a revisit.
-
No it isn't. I've got schlock reviews to write and it's all overcast and shitty today.
-
I just watched that a few weeks ago as well. For the hundredth time. Great, great movie. Reiner has a string of about five or six great movies in a row. I saw The Crucible a the cinema when it came out. I remember it being really good. Day Lewis was great. The moment at the end when he yells "But it's my name!" or something. Damn good. And Noni! She was at her most fuckable in that one, with the exception of Dracula.
-
so good it earned a marlyn monroe blow job. many in fact.
-
and she certainly is annoying, but she gets points for whipping her dress of in a restaurant and walking out in her neglige. He's an ex Fed undercover.
-
'but it my name!' awesome movie. that was the bit where i drunkenly said to my lady friend 'if that kinda shit ever goes down around here i'm just gonna kill everyone. i'll sneak into the judge's house with a shovel, and that's it, problem solved' great movie, great ending. when the two wise old women look at him, and one says 'not you too john'. excellent movie.
-
Hells yeah. The Crucible is too stagey (unsurprising seeing as it is a play). I seem to remember a lot of great performances in it.
-
the 'crucible' was written by arthur miller about the communist witch hunt. great movie
-
great movie. that's what it was like when i was a kid. except for the crying. sooks.
-
i fucking hate ironing my polys
-
Apr 23, 2009 4:11:50 AM CDT
Yeah, I used to have a big thing for Ryder
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Boy, did she go off the deep end! Isn't she in the new Star Trek flick?
-
non-performance in Alien 4.
-
dress uniform. now i iron them. fuck.
-
Apr 23, 2009 4:25:39 AM CDT
The description 'miscast' was invented because of Alien 4
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I'd still let her touch my naughty bits though.
-
hehehehehe
-
I'm doing Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, Chopper Chicks Take Zombietown, Hard Rock Zombies at some point, but it's been a while since I saw any of them. I think I'll do Disturbance next.
-
And you were dong something else right?
-
and sent them to Mavra yesterday. I was honest about them, and I didn't just rehash the plot. I even tried to partially explain why Troll 2 sucks so hard.
-
I never got your reviews. Did they go through?
-
Apr 23, 2009 5:07:30 AM CDT
It's more difficult than you think
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Writing a good review. I sat there writing them and at first found it difficult to get beyond the instinctive 'it was good/bad' and actually thinking about WHY it was good/bad and putting it into words.
-
I'll go and check
-
it didn't- I'll have another go
-
I'll get to work posting them as soon as they arrive. Thanks!
-
stupid IT monkey.
-
Stupid Hotmail.
-
which is likely, because as Droid says it's quite hard and I haven't written anything critical in 7 years (eek), can you let me know and I'll rewrite it. I've sworn a lot, including calling the kid in Troll 2 a motherfucker.
-
Any special instructions for them?
-
I've really skimmed over the plot as I think a bad review tends to be 300 words telling you the whole fucking film. Rather I've picked bits out that are funny, and ranted about them. Especially Dark Angel. I'll get better- it's been years and I'm hella ring rusty.
-
I'm a little slow. Sorry.
-
Nope- no instructions, I bow to your better judgement.
-
but I'm kind of looking forward to it.
-
I can't find any quotes from it. I'm sure there must be some somewhere. I also need the synopsis from the cover for it- because that's a big part of the review- just how wrong it is.
-
If I resize that vault pic to make it larger, it's going to be a little blurry. Is it ok in the original size or do you have a bigger version?
-
despite what it says on the DVD case- it's called either Choker or B.E.I.N.G. WHich is a lame rip off of A*L*I*E*N*S
-
If you think it needs to be bigger, we can always exchange it.
-
I had to cut a large chunk out of the poster. I didn't think about that- do you want the URL of the poster?
-
Apr 23, 2009 6:08:13 AM CDT
Well, I have then both up now. They don't look bad at all.
by mavra chang
Check them and see what you think. I oopsed and did the Dark Angel one first, but then again, that put Troll 2 on top, which really makes sense (if people read downwards).
-
It says posted by Herb because I had to go into the site to upload the vault pic. His is the default name. If there are mistakes, they are mine.
-
And he got stuck with Herb by default? Nothing was on last night, so I flipping the channels and decide to give a turd a chance: Bulletproof, with Damon Wayans and Sandler. Fuck, I only caught probably the last half hour or so, but that was bad. Real bad.
-
I have identity issues, apparently. De fault is in de files.
-
Hope I haven't written drivel.
-
You have a gift of rant.
-
The difference is, if I post and it says him, there's no avatar. I'm the faceless Herb.
-
I am Herb! (using Spartacus voice)
-
Oops...wrong war.
-
This is me!
-
Because after wishing upon a star a few weeks ago, I have discovered my wish has come true. Wesley Snipes has FINALLY made a DTV sequel to Art of War! Called Art of War II: Betrayal. I need to see this now! http://tinyurl.com/clbnp7
-
You should have used on, say, Monica Bellucci naked in your room performing various sexual acts on oneself. Or Chesty Freckles busting down your door and arresting you with those glorious ta-ta's.
-
There's a video link at AIBN.
-
Bedtime. Later guys. Have a great day.
-
Art of War is very funny.
-
Apr 23, 2009 6:51:19 AM CDT
I don't need to wish for those
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That happens every night. In my dreams. Art of War II is the greatest thing to happen in the history of great things happening! I kid you not! Well, maybe i kid a little. But its still bloody good.
-
Apr 23, 2009 6:54:04 AM CDT
Art of War is all kinds of awesome
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Especially Biehn as the villian, who you pick in the opening scene where they are playing basketball together. I'm going to get Art of War II and do a double bill. And I've also got my hands on Franklyn.
-
It's a masterpiece. I didn't even talk about Flying-CD-OF-Death-Cam. Because I forgot.
-
I sort of wanted to see it at the time, and I get what it's trying to do, but everywhere said it sucked so hard that I was kind of put off it.
-
It's high on my list of priorities. As for Franklyn, I have heard mixed reviews, but i'll give it a go.
-
Apr 23, 2009 7:03:43 AM CDT
Seeing as though T4 is less than a month away...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Wouldn't it be a bit late for Arnie to be talking about the possibility of them CG'ing him into it? They're either doing it or they're not.
-
and as much as I don't trust the likes of Ross or Empire or that stupid bitch in the telegraph who reviewed TDK, but seemed to think she was reviewing a Tim Burton film, they've all been uniformly awful.
-
my interest in it dies a little.
-
I haven't seen The Mist before. Pity, I was hoping for some nonsense.
-
Apr 23, 2009 7:14:49 AM CDT
That's the same as me with Star Trek
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
My interest went from zero to slightly interested on the strength of the trailers. But since all the whores on this site lined up to swallow JJ's semen it's losing any appeal it had. I couldn't help myself having a go on that Trek review TB. Posting fucking Variety and HR reviews for fucks sake. It's pathetic.
-
And a kick in the guts. In Bruges was my fav flick of 2008.
-
Jarv, awesome reviews over at Mav's site. Whats next?
Worst zombie movie? Easy, C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the Chud. Wow, how I hated that movie. And yes, the basic premise was zombies which totally has nothing to do with the original, and also not so good, Chud. -
Apr 23, 2009 7:42:31 AM CDT
The other thing about writing reviews
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's so much easier to write about a shitty flick than a good one. I'll have to try a few of my favorite shitty flicks to review. Maybe even Art of War 1 & 2.
-
Damn Echo you see some crazy shit. I say you should watch Titcut Follies.
-
Tomorrow. Did anyone see that movie? It looks just like Hitman, which I hated. But its directed by Harry's uncle and he makes bad but entertaining movies.
-
Because that is also technically cop v alien. Kind of.
-
I didn't care to begin with, then I found out it was a prequel, and that managed to make me care even less, the trailer took me back to indifferent, but the sucking off is just woeful.
-
Apr 23, 2009 8:01:29 AM CDT
Kevin MacDonald has got a couple of...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
interesting flicks in the works. "Eagle of the Ninth," a second-century Roman military drama, and "The End of Eternity," based on the 1955 Isaac Asimov novel, described thusly. Futuristic tale concerns a ruling class called Eternity whose members can manipulate time and alter history. Last King of Scotland was good. I'll probably see State of Play in the next couple of days. I also need to see Entering the Void. Apparently its awesome. One Day in September was great as well.
-
it is easier to write about Bad movies that are fun, because it gives you endless mileage to explain why it's fun.
-
Apr 23, 2009 8:04:49 AM CDT
Max Payne is shit unfortunately
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I was hoping for the best. A Punisher style action-fest, but it's PG13 rubbish. The only thing of note in it is Chris O'Donnell. I didn't realise that bloke was still alive.
-
I've read that. It's crap
-
Apr 23, 2009 8:07:47 AM CDT
One of the ultimate guilty pleasures stars O'Donnell
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
VERTICAL LIMIT Fuck I love that stupid flick. It's so shit. So cliched. So dumb. And I love every second of it. Especially Scott Glenns nubs.
-
I've seen it twice and first time it was great, but diminishing returns kicked in badly second time out.
-
Apr 23, 2009 8:10:21 AM CDT
I've never heard of Eagle of the Ninth
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I'm the target audience!
-
Apr 23, 2009 8:11:36 AM CDT
I watched LKOS for the first time a month ago
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I can imagine it wouldn't be as good second time round.
-
it isn't what you think. It's a kiddies book
-
I wish they'd stop it. This is not the site for that shit.

Voldefilm, Fag Trek, T4 and Fucking Twilight
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That's all they seem to post as news these days. It's bullshit.
-
With footage that was taken out to avoid an NC-17 rating?????Must. Get. Hands. On. This.I talked with guys who actually landed at Normandy who desperately wanted to run up the beach but were so seasick, exhausted and drenched, they couldn't muster up the energy for anything more than walking speed, which was worrisome as hell because of the wall of hot lead pouring down on them.
-
Apr 23, 2009 8:42:15 AM CDT
It's what they fail to report on that's so fucking annoying
by lost jarv
no Outlander, no LVK, no Let The Right One In, Fucking load of bollocks.
-
TO THE INTERWEB! Sticky fingers locked and loaded. Gimme Gimme Gimme.
-
"The film runs twenty-two minutes longer (bringing it up to 116 minutes), with a majority of that time being composed of nonstop bloodshed."
-
standard of genre movies has dropped, but this endless masturbation over shit that just isn't for here is annoying.
-
I was sold at "bloodshed."Jarv, I love the Schlock Vault.Did Harry put up any reviews for Punisher War Zone? Any why does he refuse to cover stories on European/overseas productions and their reviews?Who around here gives a shit about the new director of Twilight? I'd rather learn that Yoko and Harry fucked for 10 straight hours.
-
I've just finished the disturbance review. I've been very rude about it.
-
seriously, fucking twilight, letting his wife have a column that turns out to be poo, GONE, Scriptgirl, that idiotic Emma Frost rant. This is almost as bad as fucking IMDB nowadays.
-
Granted I never have engaged in one but I've trained to, alot, is this. Once the landing ramp goes down the natural tendency is run like a mad man but you can't do that. You have to stay in your squad fromation and not spread out so you can hit enemy postitions with the maximun assault force.The other problem with Amphibious assaults is that beaches tend to be open with very little if no cover or concealment. That's a bad, bad thing.Large scale Airborne operations are even worse. Static line jump operatins, by thier very nature, jumping out of a moving aircraft spreads out the sticks. Free fall jumps are much better, you can stay tight during the fall.
-
Danny exploded at Herb West. Wow.
-
And I noticed in the bargain bin dvd troff that they had two dvds with Twitch tag lines on them. Invisible Target and Zombie Diaries? Anyone heard of them? Should I take the chance? Or should I blow more money on Deadpool toys?
-
Invisible target is excellent. Zombie Diaries is ropy. It's about 1,000,000 times better than Diary of the Dead and there are some nice touches in it. If it's only a couple of dollars, then buy it.
-
Completely ridiculous. I seem to remember it being sorta, I dunno, light and campy, like a family zombie film? And I thought "Wasn't CHUD supposed to be scary? What is this crap?"
-
Jarv, eh? Which site?
-
On the plus side, I have spent the day listening to Muddy Waters and re-reading The Corner by David Simon and Edward Burns (the good Edward Burns, not that smug dick actor guy). It goes nicely with all The Wire I'm watching lately.On the negative side, I do not have a job.
-
So confused.
-
In a word... Scathing!
-
I found that idea to be, I dunno, a bit of a waste of time. At least here on AICN. Unless all you wanted to do was really insult someone proper who deserved it, I'd rather just use my own name and let people make conclusions about me based on my wide range of behaviors.
-
Herbs comment is in the Part 1 of the Relic review. Danny's return fire is in part 3.
-
Then you must not watch Greys Anatomy.
-
Did two double features recently.The double feature of films with Elisha Cuthbert and the word 'Quiet' in the title - The Quiet, which was solid but forgettable, and He Was A Quiet Man, which I liked until it got all serious at the end.Then there was the double feature of old-school buddy cop melarkey - Dark Angel, which was pretty good, and Red Heat, which was just okay.That'll be 147 for the year. I think I'm behind schedule to make 500, so I may clear a day next week and find a bunch of something to watch. Fuck knows what, though.
-
Caught my eye at Mecca this morning as well. Seems to have decent reviews. Anyone heard of it?
-
Just living up to the name is all, I spose =).
-
Man that was an awesome movie. Too bad Max Payne won't be as good. But I saw Punisher, sober and in the middle of the day and loved the shit out of it. He fucking punches through a dudes face, how awesome is that.
-
Anyone keeping up with it? Well I'm watching last weeks episode and the new french girl comes in and my first thought is which one of these guys is going to bang her.
-
I just worked a job with Dale Earnhardt Jr the past few days. Now I've got nothing coming up.
-
I feel a bit like Carl Denham after he brought Kong to NY and he flipped right out...
-
I think he saw Danny was Egg and then got angry at himself for reacting/and responding. Like "Oh Danny you DICK! You fooled me, you bastard!"
-
I've got Red Heat tonight
-
let me see the popcorn sex pic. It's brilliant.
-
Doesn't he race cars or somesuch? What job were you doing? I know that name from somewhere, but for some reason all I'm coming up with is King Of The Hill. Fuck knows why.Job search has only started this week, so not much to report. I'm in first gear at the moment because the weather's nice, I've got enough money to last me a few months, and I'm really enjoying loafing about and reading and whatnot. It is the lifestyle of The Dude that I've always wanted, but without the bowling.
-
The French chick, I'll put it this way, this week there's movement but not like you would think. Plus The probies new bar design is rediculously awesome.
-
Pretty good, and enjoyable in the 80s way a lot of action films were back then with all the enormous fireballs and cars flipping over and whatnot, but it didn't live up to my memory of it. And those were some lame aliens.And I was thinking, was Sam Raimi the first guy to do that shot where the camera follows the flying spinny thing? I've seen it ripped off loads of times, and I always think of that as being a Raimi shot, but did anyone else do it before Crimewave?
-
I can't think of where I've seen it before that.
-
it also reminded me of the opening to Naked Gun with the cop car.
-
They've been a pretty dependable source of trashy action stuff, but I've noticed lately they['re starting to show a bunch of films I've already seen this year.Those bastards. Don't they realise I'm lagging behind schedule in the 500 films challenge?
-
they were 3 channels that I was pretty guaranteed to get a film I hadn't seen this year off. It's making it hard.
-
Once in War Of The Roses, then again - years later, when he thought no one would notice - in Death To Smoochy. Thieving little bastard.I should watch Crimewave again. I know Raimi hates it, but I always liked that goofy mix of elements it had.
-
in 7 days. It's going to be tight.
-
I thought the probies bar design was going to end up being a gay thing.
-
I've still got Big Trouble to watch. Which is excellent
-
???? Whats that.
-
this is an obscene amount of movies we are dealing with here...
-
I love that movie. Its a lot of fun, its one of like three good Tim Allen movies. I don't know why he can't find better work.
-
and see Jarv's troll review..and stop by the relic threads, some...umm..interesting stuff going on there.
-
Red Heat, Total Recall, Red Sonja (thank you £5 Arnold box set), The Mist, In Bruges, The Fall of The House of Usher and The Legend of Hell House, Big Trouble in Little China. Where I'm going to get in trouble is August, when I'm in Spain for 3 weeks.
-
Big Trouble in Little China. Which I got last night for £3. Awesome.
-
or big trouble? I don't know if Id call big trouble excellent.
-
That I probably have the most free time here seeing that I only work three days a week because I can't find a real job. But I'm like 100 movies behind. But I think at the same time I'm way ahead when it comes to TV. I've been thinking about doing more TV at Mavras, the problem is that you can't really review TV unless you see it before hand. Like giving a positive review after the fact seems moot.
-
Pretty funny. When you describe it like that, I forget that I've only just seen it and wasn't too impressed. You make it sound like a film I would like to see again, but I've already deleted it. That's a shame.Fuck, it's all going on over at Mavra's. I resolve to finish my epic Rocky review this weekend and send it over to Mavra on Monday.
-
Just read Danny's post. I think there needs to be a meeting of the minds about whats going on.
-
but they're always shit. And not fun shit- there was some dreadful bollocks with Jason Mewes as a werewolf that I could only cope with about 5 minutes of and BBC3 had fucking Wimbledon on. (Which I despise).
-
His dad, the original Dale Earnhardt, died a few years back in a collision with a wall. Dale Jr is in a lot of commercials nowadays. He had a brief cameo in Talladega Nights asking Will Ferrel for his autograph. But I don't know much. I'm not into NASCAR culture.
-
mind you I don't understand any motor sport.
-
But I had that sinking 'this will probably be shit' feeling I had before Dawson Vs Squid started, so I chickened out.That reminds me, I wonder if I can stretch out this unemployment until Wimbledon? The British summer, plenty of time to do whatever the hell I want, and some tennis on the telly (with no rain delays this year). It's a slacker's paradise.
-
ciao guys.

I was sooooooo tempted to get Twilight the other day
by franklin t marmoset
I saw it on the shelf in Blockbuster, and there was a part of me that wanted to know what the big deal was. What is this vampire garbage all the teenage girls are into?The feeling passed, but I'm afraid it may return. I have to go up there later and get season 3 of The Wire. What if I am tempted again? Can I resist the lure of a film I am pretty sure I won't like?
-
I should go, too. Time to go and face my weakness. Time to go and be a man.Time to go and not watch Twilight!
-
and I missed it? What the devil happened? Can't we all be friends?
-
sheesh.
-
Although the daughter is a tasty little minxy and the mom is a tasty big minxy so I can't fault you on that.
-
but I totally see where he's coming from. Herb was pretty rude to Series and I, and we were just trying to make something cool for the site. But we all talked about it and have moved on, and I think all of us got something out of that incident. My understanding was it was always Mav's site and she was nice enough to let all of us make our own stories and post them on here when talks of a C of C website arose. I think it's thriving right now, and I am personally proud of my work, and glad to read everyone else's. I don't think there's a single contributor for the site whom I wouldn't consider a better writer than a majority of the online fan stuff out there.
-
The way I read was that Danny was Mavra's version of the Salad Tosser and not the late, unlamented one, of AICN last year. I could be wrong though it's just an opinion.
-
Too much drama. Jonah and Danny's feature was really fun and cool to read though.
-
into google to see what the fuck you guys were talking about and mymarva came up at the top. nice work.
-
point taken. I still say you would run as a squad though (sections here), rather than stroll as they did in the movie. interesting things i have learnt about 'longest day' 1) john wayne was 27 years older than the guy he played in the movie. since the movie was made 17 years after the events, at the time the movie was made he was ten years older than the guy who he was playing at the time. 2)richard todd played major john howard in the movie. at the bridge, in real life, todd was the guy who reinforced howard. therefore there is a scence where todd is playing howard, talking to an actor playing himself.
-
I remember that one. LOL
-
My Daddy always taught me never to go into another man's house and take a shit on the floor. I saw what DGDB was doing over there last night with my own eyes. It was bullshit. Personally, I can't see how anyone tolerates that douche at all. Just my 2 cents.
-
i'm confused
-
Apr 23, 2009 4:57:33 PM CDT
I had a dog that shat on my floor
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Rubbed it's nose in it and gave it a kick in the ribs. No more shit. Don't think that'd work with Danny though. I was around when Danny was posing as egg salad. It amused me greatly. I didn't realise it was him. Just thought it was some random nutjob. Makes no difference to me. I didn't take offence. Just thought it was funny.
-
You're new round these parts, pardner. First time poster over at Mavra's site and now inexplicably here at Twitch. Almost too much of a coincidence. Anyway, we generally feel affection for DGDB round these parts. He may be almost as big a douche as I am but he's a loveable douche and underneath that vitriolic facade lies a man who tends to sick children and constantly walks around bare chested because he's always gving strangers the shirt off his back. Do you have any idea how long it's been since he's had a decent meal due to "No shirt? No service!" policies?So ease up Mr. Anonymous. One day when you're shivering in the cold and a mysterious stranger bathed in light wraps a Motorhead T-shirt around your shoulders, you'll have a new found appreciation for Senior Danny.
-
Chesty Freckles is the nick name I hung on the hot fire crotch from this season of 24. Somebody on Aint it BaleNews in the,ask Mr. Bale section,used it for a joke. That's what Mavra was referencing I believe.
-
Danny is profoundly misunderstood. He is a scholar and a gentleman. Just like Colonel Sanders, he will be much appreciated long after he's gone.

Speaking of taking a dump on another man's floor
by hawaiian organ donor
After Charleton Heston got a case of the Alzheimers, I would frequently sneak into his place through the window of his gun room and unload a steaming swirly on his Persian.If you look really close during the Bowling For Columbine ambush interview, you can catch some of my handiwork at the bottom of the frame.
-
Should I keep watching this shit? Does anything new happen?
-
Danny is not a "douche" as you put it. He holds his own opinions and thinks for himself and for that I respect him. That's a rare talent around these here parts. If TBers didn't outright attack him you can have a pleasant conversation with Danny.Does all that mean I agree with everything he writes? Nope. I've had disagreements with his opinion as he has had with mine. These discussions were always civil because we didn't start out hurling insults at each other.As for the disagreement at Mavra's joint, well, that's between Danny and Herb and they can deal with it.
-
I was watching the extras on BFC the other day. In one of the deleted scenes theres a quick shot of Moore outside Hestons joint wiping shit of the bottom of his shoe! Now it makes sense!
-
Several years ago American Riflemen did piece on Heston's weapons and thier room. No windows, it's a security issue.
-
And on that note, after an awesome bbq and too many beers, it's sayonara sweetheart for me. Ciao.

What are you doing over here at 'Aint It Fool News' anyway? Aren't you too good for this geyser of dick?

...and for the record-- I was only Egg Salad for a day. I wish I had the God-like ferocity to walk in the man's shoes longer....but I'm just not cut out for it.

That wasn't his weapons room I was sneaking in though?
by hawaiian organ donor
I guess that would explain the toilet I kept putting my foot into on the way in. Heston must've been the only man to have a rack of assault rifles next to the towel rack with "His" and "His" towels.
-
Too much drama. Jonah and Danny's feature was really fun and cool to read though. And Danny have had our disagreements, but w have always moved along like men and continued to get along fairly well.
-
and he gets into a flame war about it at mavra's place?aha ha! stupid fucks!!
-
Canny *and I* have had...but *we*
-
Danny has a more expansive vocabulary.
-
he wishes! aha ha!where is this flame war anyway! is it missing?
-
Danny and Herb going at it? Why? Where? Danny is really that Piece of Shit poster Egg Salad? I really have to say this, if you are Egg Salad; Danny, I have no respect for you at all. Egg Salad was the most disgusting waste of skin on these boards. It is one thing to rant and rave and call names, it is entirely another matter to post the hate filled screeds he did about Harry's dead mother. That was so far beyond the pale that I hope Egg Salad - whoever the fuck he is - and I truly hope it is not Danny, is forever locked in his tiny, diseased mind with no escape and no one to rant to but himself.
-
I watched Red Cliff 2 the other day and it was fucking amazing! This package was one of the best yet. I have already watched Outlander, Ip Man, and the Good the Bad the Weird twice. All are fun movies with real lasting entertainment value. Thanks a lot again for the package dude!

My guess is that Herb & Mavra are able to do IP lookups

And easily match the names of posters no matter their multiple handles, so it was easy to tell who is is who. I truly hope Danny is not Egg Salad. At least not the one who posted over here.

Terrence is still pissed about the whole War Machine thing. He has a damn right to be.

Danny was NEVER Egg Salad. He was just having fun and games over at Mavs place and things got out of hand.Danny's one of us. If anything, be pissed at me. I've ranted on these boards and wished death upon all sorts of people, namely ones that had Coughlins and Law in their handle.This day is behind us so let's forget all this nuttiness.

The story of AICN.
-
was not the original Egg. He played the part of Egg to drum up some excitement in the thread, which, heh...it did. But, Danny's still same old Danny. The dude was nothing but PROFESSIONAL during the Relic review, and the rest of the time he was plain old friendly Dan.
He's hot-headed, but not heartless, and it was a mutual decision on both his part and mine to take down the comments that were posted earlier. -
Because my DVD said that the raped Deadpool star was going to be on (Ryan Reynolds). But it was a repeat, and I guess Prince was on for a couple of nights and at the end of his song he walked to the audience and gave a guy his guitar. OHHH Wait I'm stupid, what looked like an awesome cool Rock Star thing was just a trick, fucking as Leno was telling everyone to stay tuned to not Conan you can see a guy walk in front of the camera holding a guitar. Ok lame. Get my hopes up.
-
drink much tonight?
-
Need to be up at 6 in the AM.
-
Either Jays a complete dick or Prince is.
-
Since there aren't any "assault weapons" I don't think that's what you saw. There is no such thing in the world of firearms, does not exist.
-
It was probably all staged from the beginning. Like Prince gave him the guitar and then walked off stage. Didn't even stand around for Leno to shake his hand.
-
Others have already stated it, but I'll tell you again. I was not the old Egg Salad. I posted as EGG SALAD FUCKED MY CORPSE or something like that yesterday on Mavra's and raised a little bit of hell. It made a big uproar, and now its all deleted. I am honestly not capable of saying the things original Egg said. And I don't remember him saying these things about Harry's mom. I wouldn't do that, I assure you.

Had to finish the ridiculous quote.

Memories Of Murder? Anyone remember when we actually had a semi decent convo with him?
-
I never understood why people got so fucking pissed whenever he posted. I love his weak ass persuasion skills. He would try to convince you you really didn't like a movie as much as you claimed.I was talking about how much I love Man On Fire and he said some shit like "Yes, I am glad you share my enthusiasm for how great that film could have been. Its good you appreciate a film despite the missed opportunities! I too feel it could have been great with different direction."
" -
Maybe? http://tinyurl.com/c4kzk9

Part of the fun is we all get to see the dirty laundry if we want to, and if we're all adults, we work past it. I'm disappointed I can't read your Egg Salad posts. The original guy was an asshole, but I'll bet it was pretty funny. Sometimes it's just easier to laugh.

he's a despicable little fuckmonkey that I never get tired of slapping around. He's a dirty pretentious hypocrite, that's only happy when condescending and I can't fucking stand reading his mangled syntax.

that OUTLANDER shit pisses me off. "Coverage waned" indeed. Merrick is such a little wankstain.

They print any little drivelly snippet about T4 or dork trek (films that hardly need support from this place) and then neglect a little genre film that REALLY needed internet publicity. They did the same with Franklyn.

If you're ever in the States the same time I am, which admitidly is a damn near impossibility, I will take you to either Pomona or Las Vegas to watch the drags. It's a great time.

I've been very rude about it. I'm going to do 2 a week of these- 1 on Tuesday one on Friday. I've done 3 this week because I had them to hand.

But I'll concede that he doesn't do battle with that funny feeling he gets when Betty touches his peepee. He also doesn't do battle with what looks like the lovechild of a Sylvester Stallone and a giant dildo.

daddy wasn't nice when he was little. WAAAAAAAH. Poor hulk.

but at least it's an attempted take on the character instead of no fucking explanation at all. Not even a shitty one. I will also concede that being Le Hulk would be more fun because it's like an acid trip, like at college, but i can't remember anything. Yeah, briliant minds came up with that one.

except I've no interest in that at all. Kind of like nerd trek and Tbore.

a) at the pub with a beer in my hand b)at home, sitting out the back, with a beer in my hand c)anywhere but here, with a beer in my hand. That's not too hard to ask is it?

I need to 1) not be here 2)with beer. Simply because it's such a nice day. And it's going to fucking rain tomorrow. Mind you, that's OK because I'm going to Let The Right One In.
-
Great bloody movie that. Second fave of 2008. I'll be interested to hear your take.
-
and I've deliberately kept myself unspoilt since I heard about it,
-
in that outlander TB. Regardless of any actual feelings about the film, it represents such an epic failure by AICN that these little toadies annoy the fuck out of me.
-
Apparently some bloke thinks I'm his hero. Sounds like he's taking the piss, but I can't be sure.
-
Have a good weekend chaps. There's a drunkening afoot.
-
I've still got 45 minutes. Mind you, I'll probably make it to the beer garden before you get off public transport
-
hello!
-
they ought to pay you more for sticking you with a view like that! Cruel and unusual...
But what a lovely phrase...beer garden. Beer garden. Magical! -
And it was really, really FUN. They keep the pace moving so fast that there isn't really time to stop and consider flaws or anything else. There was only one sort of awkward expo-heavy part, and even that lasted only about a minute.
Really glad I stayed away from the TB's and site reviews this time. Sort of sad to think that AICN is more likely to ruin a movie for me through its over the top hype than to get me excited about it, though. -
fucking privelege of me turning up to their shitty building to tool around on the internet. There is a lovely sound to "beer garden" isn't there
-
I've come to the conclusion that it just isn't for me.
-
there weren't any cheap gags or dumb innuendos...the characters weren't played for an ironic laugh. No "My bad" transformers-style idiocy, whatsoever.
The kids on the escalator in front of me leaving the theater were freaking out about how this is the first time in recent memory that a hyped-up movie hasn't disappointed them. -
Sci-fi/adventure? Because then it may not be for you.
Some of the TV spots for it are pretty off-putting. I don't have a TV so I haven't been subjected to the barrage of advertising. Advertising has a way of ruining things, in my opinion. -
I find it dull, and I hate trekkies. I generally like sci-fi so I don't really know why. It just never grabbed me, and aside from Khan none of the films have done squat for me.
-
way more of an action film than a star trek film. And it has none of Next Generation's "stuffiness." ILM did a really good job of getting space to look 3-dimensional. And there's no fetishistic lingering over the Enterprise, like in The Motion Picture.
Totally off-topic, but what's your opinion of Louis Theroux? -
see you monday professionals
-
but i do hate "trekkers." Not sure why THAT term as opposed to the other bugs me so much.
-
enjoy your beer garden
-
all alone...
-
So Kurtzman and Orci managed to NOT step on thier dicks, with the script? Well that's good to hear and it's also good to hear that the movie was actually fun. The concept of fun in a movie has been sorely lacking lately.
-
I think the difference is that the Trekkies were the first generation of goobers and thus not as egregiously loserish as the trekkers who are just waste of genetic material.
-
I don't know. are you over at Mavra's site at all? You should write up a Trek review and send it in for them...
-
I haven't registered over there yet, not sure why. Since I do pop over and read reviews and such.
I think I'll give the review a shot. I'm exceedingly self-critical, though. So the hardest part will be actually sending it in! -
I HATED Transformers. It's hard to even describe the depths of my disgust with that movie. And Trek was nothing like that at all. So all Kurtzman/Orci worries regarding the script proved happily unfounded.
As for the Trekkers....when I hear that term it makes me think of hippies for some reason. And I also recall someone in an interview describing it as inherently "active" due to the suffix -er, and therefore superior to the supposedly passive -ie. Which seems sort of obnoxious. -
I set the bar very low over at Mavra's. You can easily beat the shit I write so don't sweat it. Roll out your review it will be fine I suspect.
-
I seem to remember that there *was* a guy claiming to be Spielberg's son, but that was in the real media. Are we saying some Talkbacker said he was Jett Lucas?

is the boring ass Star Trek talk. Who the fuck cares? Let's talk about something everybody else isn't talking about. I'm tempted to write a review about this anime I'm watching just to try something new. Anyone watched Shigurui yet? It's an extremely good human drama with extreme gore, nudity, and violence, with samurai artistic tones. It's a brilliant series.

I didn't notice too much Trek talk. Also, 10 Little Indians...
by d.vader
I only mentioned that I liked it. I FINALLY went to the rental store yesterday. I hadn't been to the Visart in 9 years and yesterday, after running some errands and feeling productive, I found myself at the intersection near VisArt on my way home and decided to finally go back in. I had to make my own membership bc we discovered I had used my dad's membership card 9-10 years ago when I was working on my Kurosawa project during senior year of high school. I ended up getting Bong Joon-Ho's "Memories of Murder" and the 1965 version of "Ten Little Indians", which I watched last night. I really enjoyed "Indians", but the tone felt off for most of the movie. What I thought was going to be (and should have been) a straight up mystery thriller ended up having a very playful tone at times. The jazzy music and the incorporation of the "Ten Little Indians" tune didn't help. As I watched I couldn't help thinking had Hitchcock directed this, it would have been much more effective. I also didn't realize just how much "Clue" borrowed from the film. I knew it was influenced by it, but "Clue" is practically a remake. Still, I enjoyed it. Tonight I may watch "Memories of Murder" while my gf is at the Fleetwood Mac concert.
-
Your girl friend was at a Dave Matthews concert? you really need to think over that realationship.
-
Have you written that review yet?
-
statiscally speaking I guess they had to get lucky once right? The problem is that now Hollywood will keep giving them work and I guran-fucking-tee thier work will return to thier normal level which is shit.
-
Now there's a classic of scholck cinema.

both suck but if if you take the good from both movies and jam them together then you would have a decent Hulk movie.

She's been a fan since way before they got popular, back when we were like 12 years old. She doesn't need to apologize for liking them. It was a bit of a nostalgic concert for her and her best friend.

Didn't he write a book about some goofballs in American and English society? Like White supremicist and radical Muslim clerics? I remember reading that book and enjoying it.

Dave mathews is pretentious drivel and he wears mandals so he's a cocksucker.
-
We're a bit better than that here, Xi, and its disappointing to see you talk like that. And what the fuck are mandals? I wear sandals. I'm a man. Does that make them mandals? You going to make a blanket statement about me now too? And Dave Matthews is far from pretentious. Pretentious is a word reserved for people that think what they're doing is high-minded/elitist type stuff. I don't think DMB ever pretends they're anything more than a very popular jam-band.
-
I didn't insult her, I insulted Dave Mathews.yes Madals=Man Sandals and if you wear them well...Dave mathews is the definition of pretentious "folk-indie-college rock" shit.

The J-E-T-S JETS, JETS, JETS just got better by drafting Sanchez. That kid has got teh good. I figure since your east coast you have not seen seen much of him. he's good.

I am a pretty casual metal fan, but I seriously think their music is some of the best stuff coming out right now. And yes, I am more of a indie college rock kinda guy. It's still good music. Some people are just too old to enjoy it, which is fine. I don't think I'll ever be old enough to actually enjoy all those pussy hair metal bands that thrived in the 80s.

So my local affiliate, the channel that played Monster Squad and other gems on saturday afternoons when I was a kid, was doing a SciFi Saturday I suppose by playing "Sphere" and "Mission to Mars" back to back. I watched while casually doing some work. But I noticed they both had very strange cuts made at both of their endings/climaxes. Which is odd. They are films I have not seen many times (I've seen Sphere more than M2M), but I definitely noticed these particular cuts because they happen at what are arguably memorable moments. The cut in Sphere happens at the end as Hoffman, Stone, and Jackson are trying to get to the minisub and reach the surface before large explosives go off destroying the underwater ship and the habitat. Now in the movie, I distinctly remember the climax involving the trio being unable to reach their goal of getting to the sub due to their abilities to subconsciously affect their environment and manifest their dreams. Each time they reach the sub, someone transports them back to the habitat, or back to the spaceship and vice versa. Flashbacks happen as they transport, they're running through corridors, trying to take off from the sub, and keep control of their scattered thoughts and priorities as the explosives keep counting down. Eventually they master their fears, get to the sub- stay in the sub-and escape the underwater explosion. But this TV edit instead goes into the very standard action-movie escape: They realize there is a countdown, they start getting into their underwater suits, they get to the sub- they escape. None of the tension of the inescapable fate they almost succumbed to was there. Now as I was working, I thought maybe I just somehow missed the moments described above, but I very much remember Hoffman yelling during those scenes as they tried to focus on the sub, and they didn't happen. I did some interweb research and it turns out there's an alternate TV ending (which was the original ending) where the trio, once surfaced, pretend to not remember what happened at the Habitat. There is no discussion about using their ability to "forget" they have it. Also, the research didn't say anything about the "chase" sequence being cut out. Nor did it mention the shot of the Sphere raising to the surface and shooting out to space being cut- which was also noticeably absent in this tv edit. These cuts seemed strange to me bc on one hand, the climax seems a bit muted, and for another, I always thought there was a little bit of visual poetry going on with the theatrical ending of the golden sphere flying out into space. Also, without this ending, it suggests the Trio keep their powers and lie to everyone about what happened. Very odd. So next was MISSION TO MARS. I semi-paid attention, so I assume everything that was in the original was present in this TV edit (except for the cool shot of the astronaut being torn to pieces by the tremendous cyclonic forces of the Mars tornado in the opening set piece). However, this had a muted ending too. There's a scene where, once this space-faring trio are inside the Martian face, they see the history of Mars and Earth- Mars is hit by an asteroid and dies, ships flee Mars to a nebula in far off space, one ship remains, goes to Earth and seeds it. We're then treated to a pretty cool visual FX sequence where we watch all the animals evolve- from fish, to amphibians, to dinosaurs, the mastodons with tiny cavemen hunting them, etc. THIS edit, however, cut all that out. It went straight from one ship hanging around Mars to Gary Sinise grabbing hands with the Martian (was it a real alien or a holographic projection?) and proclaiming "They're us. We're them," How the fuck did he come to this conclusion when we never see the ship go to Earth and seed it? And WHY cut out a cool FX sequence like that when there are NUMEROUS other scenes that would be more deserving of an edit? Its just a very strange decision, to cut the climaxes of these two films. I can't fathom why they were made. Obviously for time, but again, there are scenes in both films that I'd think would be cut first so the climaxes don't suffer. Weird and disappointing. I was looking forward to seeing the Sphere leave Earth and to see the fast-forward Earth evolution.

I don't think there is anything redeeming in this "movie". Except for maybe Linda Cardellini.

with movies on television. They get hacked up to fit in the TV schedule.

-
was an all right movie. But then I've got a thing for underwater films. Mission To Mars I can't remember much about - I laughed a lot, that's all. Oh, there's a brilliant bit of sound design on one scene, when the crew are sat watching a transmission on a monitor. The camera is on the monitor, then it pans around the crew slowly and as it does so, the sound of the transmission moves around your surround speakers. Very cool.

Why should I cater to the whims of the masses in my fashions? I wear what I like, I do what I like. I'll never give up my sandals and socks unless the rest of the world accepts them and copies my style. Then I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them. I'll go barefoot.

Barfydog told me about it. She and RedfishBluefish and I had a fun chat. I believe Xiphos has used it before also. You'd have to ask him.

You wouldn't have to say much if you didn't feel like it, but you would get to hear everyone else talking which is very cool.

You can let the women talk (which is strangely easy for us) and still be able to say "Yeah, I was there for that!".

Hey Mavra. ThereWolf, please join us. Check at skype.com and see if your computer is up to it. It probably is. There are older versions of skype available just in case. It's a lot of fun and you don't have to say anything, just grunt or laugh once in a while so we know you're alive.
-
It's easier to do when it's just voices. You might be surprised.
-
...if you don't join us, we'll talk about you behind your back. :) I promise you, you'll have fun.
-
Yeah, or he can just thump the desk once in awhile like Zeddemore on his videos. Wolf, you now have two women asking you to join them. Have you honestly had a better offer tonight?
-
I've had in years!Alas, it's 2am here and I'm pretty much done in.

A menage with ThereWolf? You'd think he would jump on it quickly. Going once.... twice.....

But very soon at an earlier hour.

I been after him all week, you know.
-
Horrid!

We came to the conclusion that 3pm EST would work best for all of us. Maybe next weekend so everyone can d/l and get set up? Or whenever.
-
We'll get you eventually. Might as well surrender now. Sleep well.

Night!

Night Barfydog.I'll say "maybe" for 3pm EST but I'm out and about usually.

Skittles cooked supper for me tonight. It made up for him not being around for my microphone issue. He's a good kid.
-
Later, Wolf!
-
Love the weekends.
-
We nearly had him. Next time let's get Fishy here to block his exit and zap him with a stun gun. We can tie him up and take him to Skype. He'll thank us for it later.
-
Between the three of us he can't away. He'll beg for mercy until he thanks us.
Tell Skittles he's a good kid from me.
-
Thanks for your help.

You're welcome. Fun was had all around.

without arrest or major injury (though i did injure my balls when i was climbing up the balcony to get back home and i fell off the side and landed split legged on the bin. this was only minor though)

Did you really get upset about that "Rethink your relationship" thing or were you kidding? Fuck me....I thought I was sensitive. If you don't want your significant other's taste slammed...then don't bring her up. You know this is a critical bunch. No reason to get upset if someone doesn't like something you or she does.P.S. Dave Matthews band blow massive cock and that dude thinks he's an actor now so he can double fuck off.
-
Does suck. went to one of their concerts because I thought it would be fun. But ended up getting too drunk in the parking lot. Got separate from my friends who were like real close to the stage and I was fucking touching the fences. I has hanging on this older chick just hammered. I ended up buying a t-shirt? Went out to the Saranac summer fest afterward and pissed on my buddies couch. Man I'm sunburnt.

DMB for good money and won? Anyone seen that skit on SNL like within the past year I think the last real funny won, in which Aston Kooo Char hosted. Besides the death by chocolate skits he had this one called like one of those gay ass singers like DMB/John Mayer/Ben Harper talk show it was funny. MELLO!
-
No, I didn't really get that upset about the "relationship" thing. I just thought it was pretty immature and tasteless. If the point is that DMB sucks, then say "She's at a DMB concert? DMB blows," and move on. No need to take a crack at my relationship. Personally I think family members should generally be off-limits for insults regarding their tastes. Ours, however, are completely up for grabs regarding criticism, praise, or agreement. But if I say "my gf likes DMB," don't go suggesting she's an idiot for doing so. It just ain't right.
-
John Mayer talked sung a song about how he liked to get high. Dave Matthews sung one called "Snickerdoodle cookie". And in between songs, Jack Johnson (Andy Samberg) showed photos of his dead pets. They died because "things got so mellow around here, that it turns out I forgot to feed him." He had a parakeet named Dr. Pookie who liked to wear pooka shell necklaces, and a pet iguana who wore gortex vests.
-
Really? He thinks we enjoy that whore-crap? And he has the gall to say something like "She's been with us here at AICN for over a year," like she's a contributor to now. I'm starting to hate Harry now. And I used to have so much respect for that fucking moron.

the eagle was excellent as suspected. i got drillbit for the missus and wasn't expecting much but to my surprise it was ok.

I've actually played that game. Thought the game was pretty crappy, so the movie can only be better.

...there is some pretty cool action, some great set design, and great photography. But there are parts that get really fucking boring. 20 minute gaps of nothing happening. But still....its no X3 or anything like that.
-
Had good moments but I kept falling asleep inbetween the action scenes. Plus the trailer is misleading as hell. Plus a lot of the movie just didn't make sense. Like I missed 10 minutes of the movie because I was checking out the back of my eye lids and I don't feel a need to find them again. Also there is a thing after the credits for a possible sequel. Meh it was better then Hitman. Harry's brother needs to be demoted down to 2nd unit director. The action scenes where really cool.

Sir,In the future, inorder to avoid any possible scarring to your sensitive, artistic soul please skip my posts. My ramblings tend to run towards tastlessness and immaturity and lord knows that NEVER happens on a TB. So, to safeguard your maturity and tastefulness please, sir, I beg of you, do not read my posts in the future, ok?Also, sir, just so you understand where my tastlesness and inmaturity came from, I've used that joke or a variation of that joke with JPT, Jarv, I think Danny and few others. See I'm not sure if your aware of this but among MEN well we bust balls(damn inmaturity again sorry!) with other MEN we are/were friendly with. It's normal among MEN to do this and it's an excepted way to communicate. It holds no other meaning then to have what is refered to among immature MEN as "horse play". I agree though that to a mature gentlemen like yourself it would seem like a scurrilous, baseless attack upon your Lady friend. A tasteless and immature one at that. This is just an FYI on how immature and tastless MEN operate. A refined gentlemen such as yourself might be unaware of this.Sincerly,Xiphos

How goes it? Still holding on to your balls, or did Mavs get them today already?

For their 20th Anniversary Issue. http://www.empireonline.com/20/issue-preview/ BAM, I'm on it.
-
I think it's a chick thing. Her taste in music is fucking horrendous. And someone really needs to tell that cunt in Counting Crows that it is acceptable to write a chorus every now and again. Fucking horrible whiny shite.
-
I watched 4 movies, but can't remember one of them.
-
Fuck me. How fucking bleak and depressing. To be honest, I think it's a bit overrated- it's good and the 2 kids are excellent, but it's not the second coming like it's made out to be. There are a few things that should not have made the final cut- the shot of her minge leaping to mind. It's unnecessary and jarring. If you haven't worked out that it's a metaphor for paedo grooming by that point then you really should give up.
-
Meh. Quite good. Again not as good as made out. Didn't like the end.
-
not carpenters best. Not too bad though.
-
I read the book recently. The purpose is supposed to be to show that Eli is/was a boy who had been completely castrated (though I also thought the shot was unnecessary in the film since it was not explained).
-
that makes sense. So she's not even a girl vampire? Still gratuitous and unnecessary in the film. I suspect Harry may ban me for what I put in that Shitgirl TB.
-
really, what the fuck- I posted that perhaps Harry should hand editorial control over to someone that has the same tastes as the geeks, as his taste has clearly fucking changed for the worse.
-
They had quite a lot of info about that in the book that was left out of the film. I didn't catch it when I saw the movie either. Eli was a boy and became very insistent about being recognized as a boy to Oskar as the book progressed. They also went much, much further with the pedophile theme in the book. Eli's human companion was overly interested in young boys and obsessed with Eli.
-
he barely bothers any more. He ain't one of us, that's for sure.
-
about why Paedo's don't like Child vampires- very cleverly thought out. Really, though, it was so fucking depressing.
-
He has claimed not to at any rate. Then again, he has also claimed to know her (last year), never met her before (this year), been begged by her to pimp her vids (last year), and asked her himself if he could pimp her vids (this year). He seems a little confused.
-
But the children were fantastic, especially as first time actors. And childhood is often that depressing. I could relate to it on several levels. Maybe that was why I liked the movie so much: empathy.
-
but she is indicative of what is wrong with him- I think ignoring OUTLANDER and endlessly pimping shitlight is more telling.
-
Officially, I mean. Will Danny get him over here to bless the CoC and will his avatar grace the top of the pages? It would be hilarious if Swaney turned out to be 2For2True. Full circle, man.
-
What they personally want or what is most beneficial to them and their visitors. Can't have it all ways.
-
and 2true is an angry and vengeaful god- I'd be careful taking his name in vain Mavra, you don't want pencil stabbing.
-
this is odd. There was a preview for some Samurai Vampire nonsense called Blood shown before LTROI. I kind of want to see this now.
-
Swaney is one of the winners of a ticket to see Wolverine and the only one who did not seem to request a companion ticket. He's become a weekend sensation without even participating in the TBs, to my knowledge.
-
So many vampires, not enough werewolves.
-
that's very strange. Mind you, I wouldn't inflict turdverine on Mrs. Jarv.
-
Than in the movie. People are making plans to find him and film him. Trends...what are you gonna do? :)
-
I heard someone in the cinema say about the wolverine trailer "Why would anyone pay for this crap" and he's got a point.
-
I'm all by myself. sigh.
-
I heard Josh Swaney once pretended to work in a hospital just so he could punch pregnant women who were expecting twins in their stomachs.
He told one of them, as she lay weeping on the floor, that "everything is born alone and everything dies alone. Anything else is outside the natural order of things". -
Reminds me of the old 2for2true legends.
-
Who is 2for2true?? I get the feeling that is something I should know. I feel ashamed that I don't in fact.
-
is one of the hoy trinity. He's a seriously unbalanced TB-er that threatened to stab someone in the neck with a pencil. The dude is nuts.
-
number 2 pencil stuff comes from. I'd always wondered that as well. I feel enlightened. Anyway Im off as well. Night Jarv.
-
which looks very meh.
-
Don't you think I can see through the facade, this ruse, this farce of you throwing yourself at toadkillerdog? It is me and only me that will forever be the amoeba of your wet dreams. It is my pseudopod that makes you all a-quiver just thinking about it. And that is because I am a professional!
-
I read that is was based on a BBC TV show. Maybe the Brits here saw that and enjoyed it. As for the movie, well it was good, but truly not one memorable moment. Nothing. It had only one scene of any tension to it. Ad a thriller/mystery it was pretty bland. As a commentary on the state of newspapers, it was good but not groundbreaking. I will say that Ben Affleck could use a cheese-burger or three. Dude looks like he is training for marathons. Jennifer must be wearing that ass out!
-
to say I'm uninterested in that is putting it mildly.
-
I chose what I thought was lesser of to evils
-
Fucking Miley Cyrus. I really don't get her popularity.
-
Before I saw that, I said no way in paramecium hell would I see another Tom Hanks/Ron Howard film. I have no clue what the book is about, but the trailer looked pretty good. It definitely did the job for me, and if it comes down to Miley Cyrus or Angels and Demons, well Miley gets dumped again.
-
So damn tired this morning I can't keep my eyes open.Jarv, what did you think of that huge monster at the end of The Mist? I think he needs his own movie.Anyone else hoping the swine flu outbreak goes critical and kills us all?
-
yes, I saw that trailer and I have to tell you that the book is nothing like that- it's more like a less polished Da Vinci code. It will be shit, you can guarantee it.
-
I actually wish the film had stopped then- the suicide thing took the edge off it for me. They'd made it far, and there was nothing to suggest that they couldn't have made it a bit further.
-

Maybe Mist monster and Cloverfield monster can team up
by dirk_the_amoeba
Then they could make a whole movie where we get to actually see the monster we paid to see.
-
Seriously, check out that Wolverine screening TB. I really think everyone should show up wearing shirts that say "I am Josh Swaney's +1", and when the real Josh shows up, each person should stand up and say "I AM Josh Swaney's Plus One!" And Capone needs to capture it on tape and post it to AICN.

-
the original ending did just that. You saw the massive beast, it's legs were covered in the giant bugs, and the main character did try to return home, but there was a tree blocking his path, so he never learned if his wife died or not.
After the giant beast, the characters find their way to some relative shelter, and while there the father is flipping through the bands of static and thinks he hears a single word-it's the name of a city or town, but I don't honestly remember where, and he thinks that there may be hope beyond the mist afterall...if he can just get his son safely there. -

I posted your review. Thanks! It really rocks! I know the picture at the bottom doesn't go with the film, but I thought it was a cool Red Sonja picture. If you don't like it, say the word and I'll take it off. There aren't a lot of good photo choices for that movie for some reason...

the filter wouldn't let me- apparently it's porn. The film itself is nowhere near as bad as I remembered.

I am incredibly busy at work and unfortunately won’t have much of a chance to talk absolute bollocks like I usually do. This will go on for a couple of weeks. Bullshit. I’ll drop in when I can.

I watched it last night. It wasn't too bad, but nowhere near great. It was a very well made flick, well acted and well… that’s it. It suffered from the unfortunate fact that the plot to kill Hitler did in fact fail miserably, and it’s virtually impossible to create a great deal of tension from a foregone conclusion. It made me appreciate Apollo 13 more, because it was sandbagged with the same problem and managed to create a fair amount of tension. Valkyrie also struggled with the obvious difficulty of trying to create a sympathetic hero out of a Nazi. I don’t care if he tried to assassinate Hitler. He’s a fucking Nazi. It works feverishly, in stark black and white, to build von stauffenberg up into a saintly fucking rebel. I call bullshit on that. Sure, he may have had reservations about the decisions and methods of Hitler and his goons, but he only acted on them when it was blindingly obvious that germany were going to lose the war. But anyway, it was a solid flick but not very memorable.

I haven't seen it since I was a kid (and even then it was only parts of it), but I thought Arnie didn't play Conan? Though I think he should have.
-
Although a legal dispute meant he had to be called something else. But it's set in Hyborea, directed by the same person that did The Destroyer, he's recognisably Conan.
-
I wonder what the legal dispute was. Made by a different studio perhaps? Interesting. They should have said something like he was using an alias to avoid authorities.
-
officially, but he's blatantly Conan. There are too many co-incidences. I hate to be all comic-book nerdy, but it would be like that stupid Justice League film, and casting someone that isn't Bale as Batman. It takes place in the same universe in a lot of similar locations, with similar rules and he's not Conan? NO way.
-
And the actress who played Valeria in "Conan the Barbarian" plays the evil queen in "Sonja"? This is just weird. It'd be like Spielberg doing an Indiana Jones spin-off featuring Short Round, and Harrison Ford pops up as a leather jacket wearing smartass named "John", and the main bad guy is played by John Rhys Davies. But it still takes place in the Indiana Jones universe bc it stars Short Round. Nonsensical.
-
or a Star Wars spin off trilogy about Darth Vader when he was a hormonal teenage oik before the Empire came to power. What's that you say? Someone did that? Who could be that collosally stupid?
-
An alien Humpty Dumpty movie... I smell a classic of Leprechaun-like levels!
-
How can you not enjoy that on at least a base entertainment level? Doesn't that one open with Conan fighting some barbarian cavemen guys or something? I just remember Arnold swinging his sword on some guy's head and breaking his bone-hat or something. Grace Jones and her racoon tail and Wilt Chamberlain are fun, nutty cameo roles. And the magician makes a return, which is always welcome in my opinion. Wasn't his name Mongo or something? In any case, he was one of the best parts of that movie. I remember nominating him as a member of the C of C like 10 months ago.

i give it a so so. it was a good solid flick. i also think it is one of best historical movies that i have seen from the point of view of accuracy. it was pretty close to spot on. in terms of them being nazis, well i am usually one of the last people to give krauts a pass on this. you can't get around the fact that they ELECTED hitler. a lot of modern politics is built around the idea that imposing democracy on other countries, as they did to Germany is invariably a good thing. I myself subscribe to desmond tuts statement that 'those that do not oppose a system (the status quo) support it.' I go to the german club a lot and have german friends and germans are invaribaly 'oh no it wasn't MY grandad' well who the fucks grandad was it? you'll never, never find someone who will say 'my grandad was one of the vast majority that supported hitler' everyone was against him. so why didn't anyone do anything about it? cause they were only against him after the fact. and i don't care if you secretly didn't like him. you may think 'hey i'm just a lowly guy who makes bolts' but that bolt goes into a tank. the tank invades poland. jews get round up and killed. you and your fucking bolt just killed a bunch of jews cause you were too piss weak to stand up. and sure, your only little. but that is democracy. each of us is only little, but if we all stand up together....so i don't usually give germans a pass. but these guys wern't in it for themselves (other than pride) before stauffenburg came in they were looking to sacrifice themselves on the alter of nationalism so that after the war germany could point to some good things it did. far better had they gone through with their planned coup right before munich, but still, yeah sure it didn't come till germany was lossing the war, but these weren't selfish guys.they also wern't very nice guys either. for most of them one the big things they didn't like about hitler was that he was a commoner. they were mostly aristocrats. stauffenburg was a radically religious catholic. This was one of the major things that drove him to attempt the assination. i don't approve of radical religiouness like that but dawkins let me ask you this. i know you think that there is no place for religion in this world, and that you reserve particular vitrol for catholics, but could we please chalk motivating people to assinate hilter up as the only good influence religion has ever had? it seems like a good thing to motivate people to do. so maybe we get that one thing.prob the only inaccuracies in the film was that it looked more successful than it was. this is not inaccurate though, it is just cunning. by focusing on the command sector, you see a hive of activity and draw conclusions. smart film making. also they make von cruisenburg more sympathic than he was. he was a frothing at the mouth aristocratic catholic whose radical religiousness drove him to assassination. (what would jesus do?)last note, interesting that the scientologist made a movie with cross dressing gay co stars, directed by a gay guy about killing hitler (who we don't like because of the holocaust, which Scientology don't belive in)backslash rant

Saw the infamous "workprint" today. A work colleague had downloaded it and put the movie on his PSP. Not a disaster zone, but nothing to get excited about either. I'd like to see more of the 'Wade' character.
-
If you go to your local Wal Mart they have toys for the new Wolverine and this is the first time that the word Deadpool is ever mentioned. Its not said in the movie, in the trailer on the web site. But on the Wade Wilson toy it says Deadpool "Movie Version" there is also a Deadpool "Comic Version" which I can't fucking find. Compare and contrast the two and see where Fox fucked up.

What the fuck is that? Anyone know? Comes out friday looks like a cool Animated sci fi film.

Chazz Palminteri/Paul Sorvino movie, Distracting Trumpet. Oh fuck all you homos who don't enjoy Family Guy.

So I was fast forwarding through Heroes as one should do and I caught a glimpse of Eric Stolz and some robot and my first thought was Fuck yeah The Mask is going to be in T4! Then I rewound the DVR and saw that it was a commercial for some direct to Sci-Fi/DVD prequel movie to BattleStar Nerdia called Caprica. Anyone heard of this? Any good?
-
I get to see it tomorrow. Pretty fucking stoked. It better be good. Also should be watching Hotel for Dogs which I am just as excited for just because after that birth of Satan Marley and Me I need to see a good dog flick.

You ain't seen Wolverine yet? You are not missing out.
-
See Wolverine in the theaters maybe, already got Star Trek tickets. Comes out the day before my b-day. Just saw Chevy Chase die? Gonne see T4, but kind of wonders what is going to happen if it does suck? Also what if Transformers 2 sucks (inevitable) and G.I.Joe end up being the only good movie of the summer? How nutty would that be? As for Harry Potter I think I am going to have to wait this one out on the DVD. I've seen the other 4 (or 5 I don't really know?) in theaters and pretty much only 3 was worth a damn 1 and 2 would've been cool had they come out in the 80's as for 4 and 5 they were fucking terrible, and just boring. Plus I wake up early on Saturdays to watch cartoons. I am a male over the age of 20 but I once picked up a copy of the first Harry Potter book back in like ninth grade read the first 50 pages and thought to myself as I put the book down, jesus this shit is too childish for me! And never finished it.
-
Fred happy to see another night crew!
-
I think this summer is probably going to suck. I mean last summer was so awesome. And save for G.I.Joe (which will suck, no Lazers) its mainly sequels or reboots. I doubt any movie will be TDK big. Nothing is generating half as much buzz as either TDK or Ironman. I say biggest movies of the summer will be Transformers 2, T4, Star Trek, Ice Age 3. Average performers Harry's Potter, Tom Hanks Mullet. Underperformers Wolverine, Up, Funny People, Year One. Could Go Either Way G-Force, Public Enemies, Bruno, Imagine That, The Taking of 123, Land of the lost. Surprise Hits The Hangover, Final Destination: Death Trip 3D (Man I just read about this directed by Snakes on a Plan/Final Destination 2 guy, must see for me!), Fame, Astro Boy, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and Dead Snow (I wish). Flops G.I.Joe, Inglorious Bastards, Citizen Game, Jenifers Body, H2. Man save for May (didn't realize T4 comes out in May Thought it came out in July) this summer is really week. The only thing coming out in July is HP7!

by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Star Trek will be huuuge. It is generating big positive buzz. Wolverine will open very very big. Because non geek females will want to see it and their boyfriends only too willing to go along. Terminator, will be big, but it will drop quickly. Wolverine will dominate until Star Trek. Transformers 2 will be biggest hit if it does not have crazy cam. If peiople can identify the robots, Transformers 2 will dominate. Harry Potter will do big business, but not boffo. Gi. Joe will flop. Basterds will do moderate but will be considered flop

Wolverine won't be bigger then T4. Wolverine huge opening weekend drop of 60% or more next week when Star Trek comes out.
-
There are more chick flixs coming out this summer then Blockbusters, so they won't add much to huge movies. They may power the Ryan Reynolds or Matthew Mcanahay movies surprise hits.

Is a prequal to BSG set, I think, about 75 years before the cylons won the war. It tells the story of how the centurians and skin job cylons came around I believe.The shows has not aired yet but they have relesed the first episodes on line and I think today they did the same thing in DVD form. I have zero desire to watch due to the fact that last season was an ordeal to get through.If that was the last Chuck it was a good way to end it with Chuck as Neo.People who enjoy Family Guy also enjoy getting mounted by donkeys.
-
Or more accurately I support Sidney Crosby. The longer he plasy into the post season the sooner everybody will forget about #99. That way the Phoenix Coyotes might find thier nuts and fire him as head coach because he sucks in that job.
-
but it's on too late for me most of the time. If I've got insomnia then I try to watch it.

BIg Trouble in Little China and Disturbing Behaviour were last night. Needless to say BTILC is awesome and the other was wank. I've come to the conclusion that any film with a variation of the word "Disturb" in it is automatically shite.

I can say without a word of a lie, that there is not a single thing coming from Hollywood that I'm willing to spend the money on. Look at that list- what an uninspiring load of shit.

This summer will suck, i agree
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But that won't stop me from seeing a bucketload of shit. All the better flicks arrive in the last quarter. WTWTA, Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, Ninja Assassin (kinda), Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Wolfman, 2012 (FUCK YES!), A Christmas Carol, This Side of the Truth, Daybreakers and Edge of Darkness. All those i'm looking forward to seeing in various degrees. Just gotta make it through the shitty summer, which is fine because we've got World 20/20 (which I don't particularly like that much, but its a distraction) and The Ashes.
-
but not since I was about 16. I do, admittedly, own the obligatory copies of Akira and Ghost in The Shell.
-
ordinarily I'd agree with you, but I expect this series to be fucking painful. They're looking at recalling Vaughan for fuck's sake.
-
I've got 1981 flashing through my head now- England get tonked in the first test, Strauss resigns. In despair they return to the one Captain that they think can beat the Aussies, MPV rides to the rescue and we win series 3-1. Or perhaps not.
-
about the battle of chevy chase. staring bill murry and randy quaid. yeah, that would be sweet.
-
its like one of those movies where you follow a character through a series of bad decisions, his situation increasingly becoming worse until he dies horrifically. should be fun to watch
-
The whole thought of it makes me depressed. How did we get so shit in less than 4 years? I blame Peter Moores and the ECB entirely for this fiasco.

2005 was an anomoly. Even the sun shines on a dogs ass some days. *pokes Jarv with a stick*

Damn them all! Damn them all to hell!So I had the best damn cigar I've had in a while last night and sucked back a bottle of port. Damn if I didn't feel good and relaxed for a change.So after browsing Hulu last week, I realized The Simpsons has returned to form so I went and grabbed all of seasons 18, 19 and what's been broadcast for season 20. And I feel ashamed for giving up after season 17 because that show hit it's stide again in a big way in season 18. There's an episode from the current season where they go to Scotland and it's easily one of the funniest episodes ever. You UK blokes are sure to enjoy the hell out of it.So what are the odds FIFA will drop South Africa as the host nation for the World Cup within the next couple months? I have yet to hear one good thing about preparations in the former land of apartheid.Wall Street 2 with Shia LeBeouf? Is that a joke?With regards to T4 concept art, why does a motorcycle need a robotic skull? That just looks retarded.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
If so, that's Ireland. But yes, a good episode. TS have kinda settled into a groove of mostly amusing episodes with about 3 or 4 very funny ones each season. Which is okay with me, but it's nothing like the heyday of seasons 4 to about 10. Therein lie the classics.
-
Fuck, I'm sending some of my high grade pencils over to England.Fucking going to rid the world of IT shitheads once and for all!
-
And yes, that episode was non-stop gold. Considering they are into season 20 and they can still pump out an episode that has me in tears (Everybody Loves Raymond never did that once in 9 seasons) then that's an accomplishment in my eyes.So my dad was scheduled to fly back to Mexico tomorrow but the swine flu mess has put the kybosh on that. He won't be able to return for another month.Jarv and JPT need to march down to IT and set the lever of swearing onto maximum firepower and scream "FUUUUCKIIIIIIIING FREEDOOOOOOOOOM!!!"

This weekend was pretty relaxing though. I aparrently was up for two more hours than I thought I was, dancing and talking with people, but I have no recollection. So either I have multiple personalities or I drank more than I thought.

Is that there is a free digital copy on the DVD! Practically giving it away!

Good christ, what's become of us?

Only seen 3 films since I last checked in, which puts me at 150. I thought I'd be roaring ahead with all this extra time on my hands, but it hasn't happened.
-
Great film, I like that one a lot and haven't seen it in years. It's still excellent. It's easy to shit on Jet Li these days (except for The Warlords, which was great) but back in his Hong Kong era he made some brilliant stuff.
-
Story-wise, not up there with the first one, but it is elevated by two fantastic square-offs between Jet Li and Donnie Yen.Jet Li Vs Donnie Yen - who the fuck would not like that?
-
Bit of a letdown, this one. It's a decent enough watch, but the story is on a par with part II and it's lacking the great fights that might have made it something special.
-
I've never seen that one, so my fingers are crossed. It's directed by Sammo Hung, which is a good sign, but I heard the story revolves around amnesia, which is not.
-
That's good work, but shouldn't it be the 6 days of Lep?Are you going to attempt an epic review for Mavra's site, Jarv? I'd like to read that.

I submitted my epic Rocky review to Mavra for her consideration. Hopefully, it'll be good enough to go up.There are special prizes for anyone who makes it all the way to the end.

This is unacceptable.Roger Rabbit 2? Not sure about that one. As much as I love the movie, I don't think we need to see the further adventures of Roger and Eddie. I can understand Jarv disliking Zemeckis as of late as he detested Forrest Gump, Contact and Cast Away, but for those of us who enjoyed the latter two then how can you hate the guy who also gave us so much cinematic gold in the 80s?JCVD was a great movie. Maybe a bit overrated but Jean Claude is terrific and the story is efficient.Once Upon a Time in China is aces.Epic Rocky review? I'm there Franklin.Britain ends combat operations in Iraq.Chrysler leans towards bankruptcy.You can now follow the swine flu outbreak on Google Maps.Work with me people.

One of the people on the Mavra site was hit on by another member through private messaging (and neither Zeddemore nor I were involved in any way shape or form).

Because his admirer was another guy. Private messages do not give away your personal emails, for those who might be wondering. He seemed rather relieved to know that, so I am spreading the word to the rest of you.

Man arrested for coke in
oranges
Police: Oranges had been emptied of
their pulp
Updated: Thursday, 30 Apr 2009, 8:20 AM EDT
Published : Thursday, 30 Apr 2009, 8:19 AM EDT
ROME (AP) - The elderly man claimed he needed the oranges in his suitcase to keep up his vitamin C level, but Italian police soon realized the "C'' stood for cocaine.
Customs officers in Rome on Thursday arrested a 76-year-old Dutch man who tried to smuggle in more than 13 pounds (six kilograms) of cocaine packed into oranges that had been emptied of their pulp.
The man arrested on international drug trafficking charges at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport had arrived from Buenos Aires, Argentina and said he was on his way back to the Netherlands after a vacation.
Police at the airport said the drugs would have had a street value of euro5 million ($6.6 million).
In a separate bust, police arrested five Italians and a man from Paraguay when they seized more than 550 pounds (250 kilograms) of cocaine concealed in the trunks of tropical plants shipped from Argentina to a northern Italian port.

Judge: Man can't change
name to Sinner
Judge says no to Nebraska inmate
Updated: Thursday, 30 Apr 2009, 8:25 AM EDT
Published : Thursday, 30 Apr 2009, 8:24 AM EDT
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - No, the judge said to a 23-year-old Nebraska prison inmate. You can't call yourself "Sinner Lawrence Bilskirnir."
Court documents said Jonathan L. Thomas cited his Norse religion in seeking the name change, saying he "is a heathen and Thor is his 'High God.'"
But Lancaster County District Judge Steve Burns says government agencies need to closely track Thomas because of his criminal record and because there are three child-support cases against him.
Burns says Thomas' reasons do not satisfy the legal requirements.
In his ruling, Burns said that "simply because a person is a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, they do not change their name to Moses." -
Order declares "Do You Realize??"
official song
Updated: Wednesday, 29 Apr 2009, 2:33 PM EDT
Published : Wednesday, 29 Apr 2009, 12:51 PM EDT
* By FRANK CARNEVALE, Special Contributor
OKLAHOMA CITY - "Do You Realize??" by The Flaming Lips is the "Official Rock Song of Oklahoma" as declared by an executive order signed Tuesday by the state's Governor Brad Henry.
"Not only are The Flaming Lips among the most original bands in rock music, they are great ambassadors for Oklahoma. They are fiercely loyal and proud Oklahomans," said Henry in a statement. "And their fellow Oklahomans are evidently just as loyal and proud about this Oklahoma born-and-bred group."
The state held a Internet vote for people to choose their favorite rock song. Other entrants in the contest included All-American Rejects ("Move Along"), JJ Cale ("After Midnight"), Leon Russell ("Home Sweet Oklahoma") and Elvis Presley ("Heartbreak Hotel").
You can hear the all the songs at the official Oklahoma Rock Song site . According to the Tulsa World , more than 21,000 people voted online.
The naming of an official rock song was not without some resistance though as House representatives actually voted down the resolution. One representative frowned on the Flaming Lips lead singer's use of the F-word and another was upset about a hammer and sickle T-shirt worn by a band member. The governor was able to bypass the representative by signing an executive order. -
Fucking eat a dick AICN. This is ridiculous.

From the director of "The Host". Very good flick. Reminded me of Zodiac (though it was made earlier). I was a bit disappointed that the film never gave you a good indication of the passage of time. I researched the real events, and they supposedly took place from 1986-1991, but in the film it feels like its over the course of 1 year (and maybe it was, who knows). Would have also liked an end-card explaining that the killer was never caught, the case is still open, yadda yadda yadda- standard stuff like that. Still, a very engaging detective film and one that felt a bit self-critical towards the South Korea of the time.
-
Superb performances. And I liked the way it ended but I'm the bleak doom and gloom guy.So a CoCer was hit on by a non-CoCer?Ahhhh, young love on the Interwebs.
-
I thought the look on Det. Park's face was heart-breaking. I also like how it mirrored the opening close-up shot of the kid in those same fields: two people without a clue. I just expected that (arguably now a staple of the genre) epilogue explaining what happened with the case and the detectives.
-
Are there pictures of said CoCers on there, or did someone just really like the cut of another's jib?
-
I've been talking about it for years, but now I'm getting back into the habit of going down to VisArt to rent new movies to watch. Last week was "Ten Little Indians" and "Memories of Murder". This week its "Infernal Affairs" and the Japanese ghost story anthology "Kwaidan" (which I DVRd last Halloween but got erased before I could watch it).

What the hell is up with this email I just read: Is it true all you guys had to surrender ALL of your personal firearms to be destroyed by the government? Or is this just conservative propaganda my grandparents are sending me"

it's just common sense really

Have some dank alley in OKC named after them. While Tobey Keith has a whole city dedicated to him, Moore. I drive by it every day its right next to my town. It has an amazing theater. But on the town sign is says, Come See Moore and then the first ATTRACTION is HOME OF TOBEY KEITH! It has Home Of Tobey Keith written on a giant Water tower and the whole town always smells of ass. We call it the stink of Tobiath Keith.

Fucking sucks monkey balls. So fucking stupid and boring as shit. The trailer was the only cool thing about it. Too bad probably 90% of all Oklahomans have never heard of/know of The Flaming Lips.

I'm watching trailerama and they just showed Wall-e and now are showing 9, can't wait to see that film its going to be awesome.

that is mostly true. Obviously we are a farming country, and out west you definatly need a rifle so they can have one out there. you can also have certain classes of guns (rifles, hand guns) but you need a license (and these are much harder to get than in the us, they do background checks and you have to pass a test) at one point before the last olympics michael diamond, who was favourite for gold in one shooting event hit his missus and got his gun license revoked. the wepons must be kept in a safe and the ammo is separate. so you can have weapons, but not very high classes of weapons and the restrictions effectively mean that most people can't have weapons. we always had much stricter rules than you guys but this came into effect after the port arther massacre, which remains the biggest civilian shooting spree around the world (it was a columbie type event) the vast majority of australians agree with this legislation. Without trying to stir up an argument with the americans, we look at your country and shake our heads. Your murder rates are much higher than ours and of course this is in part because of easy access to weapons. the town where i grew up in is notoriously backward and rough (even droid has heard of ipswich). Hilariously my mate worked in a sporting goods store that had wall of baseball bats. no one in australia ever plays baseball. When i was in high school two us sailor good beaten to death a few streets from my school. brawls very common. but in these brawl people would hit and kick each other. they would hit each other with chains or bats stab each other. all bad of course, but people rarely got shot. if someone robbed a house they would go in with bats (mostly). i think this equates to a lower murder rate. also i think most murders are spousal. people can have a blinding rage for a few seconds and those second might hit their missus, or their bloke. but if there is a gun handy they may do something that they will regret. im not afraid of guns. i have a great deal of experience with them. They are a tool of the trade, be that farming or the military and they have a place. I dont think that there is a place for fully automatic weapons in every house. i think that is crazy. and since joining the military i now also think that if you belive this will save your country when the indonesians invade, or england comes back to reclaim its land you're mad. no, the thing that will save you is your military, which the second amendment of your countries constitution clears says has the right to arm itself. remember washington became the president in 89'. same year the estates general met in paris. the idea that we need to individually defend ourselves from tyranny within a democracy using weapons harks back to napoleon becoming the emperor. of course we much watch our governments, stand up to them dissent, but in the us, in oz we have moved past a requirement to use arms (this is symptomatic of english peoples anyway). The idea that it will be useful to have weapons when the canadians invade is also nuts. that just leaves defense against crime. and it is easy to compare the stats on that between western nations and filter it for weapon availability.

THE SHITS!!! Waste my fucking quota! at least figure out who your fucking target audience is FUCK

But it was specifically the port arthur massacre that instigated the buy back scheme legislation. 35 people were killed and 21 injured by a raving fucking lunatic, Martin Bryant. What a cunt. I don't think larger calibre firearms were too prevalent beforehand, but the legislation essentially made them illegal. And very difficult to legally own a rifle. And I agree with it completely.

Some CoCers have or have had photos posted. I have promised not to reveal the identities of the people. I was permitted to mention it in order to answer the private message question in case it happened again. From what I was told, it was not a major thing, just unexpected.

Actually looks pretty sweet.

Mickey Mouse getting kicked in the nuts it would be pretty creepy if someone found that hot.

Yeah that is what I always thought, but I think the official song of Oklahoma is the Boot in Your Ass song by Tobey Keith.

If you like rocky so much have you seen these? I have the Robocop one I wish they made more they are fucking awesome. http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=3198 Tinied http://tinyurl.com/cla7qr

it's bizarre and fucking archaic. Guns are fucking hard to get over here, and that's how it should be.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE NEW TWITCH?
-
What a dick. Really, fuck off. We definitely need a new twitch. It sucks that IT and work are hindering the CoC brethren.
-
Both look incredibly stupid. But also entertaining. GI Joe looks especially dumbhouse. Unlike most others I enjoyed Transformers, probably because I took it for what it was(a stupid action flick about alien robots that's based on kids toys), and I can see me enjoying the second one as well. But why the fuck does Hollywood insist on blowing up paris in every fucking action/disaster flick? Yes, it's easily recognisable to most moron audiences that frequent these flicks, but try somewhere else for fucks sake! And not New York!
-
it can fuck off. Harry is such a cunt nowadays. He'll probably ban me for that in the other thread.

Really? I thought you loved it. I thought you can't wait for the next one to be released so you could see it at least three times at the cinema. I thought you said you want to have Michael Bays baby. *pokes jarv repeatedly with a stick*

or I'd write millions of posts destroying that. It was worse than sweet and sour Hulk
