AICN & Twitch Present International Eye Candy: THE KINEMATOGRAPH, ENTER THE VOID, DOGHOUSE, Linni Meister's Ass, And More!!
International Eye Candy
June 11, 2009
Yes, boys and girls, once again it is Todd from Twitch here with the best, the brightest, the most unique and exciting new films from around the globe. And also there's a new one from Uwe Boll. Because that's fun, too, in it's own perverse way. We've got sex dolls come to life! We've got a Norwegian starlet singing about her own shapely buttocks! We've got Japanese school girls slicing their own wrists! Yes, kids, the word of the day is class. High class. All the time.
Let's start things off right and get straight to the buttocks, shall we? "But, Todd," you are no doubt thinking, "I see no buttocks on that poster. All I see is half of a severed Nazi zombie head." And correct you are but the two things are connected in strange and mysterious ways.
You see, when the producers of DEAD SNOW – aha! Nazi zombies! – were dreaming up PR gimmicks for the upcoming Norwegian DVD release of their bloody opus they figured why not play to the absolute lowest common denominator and have a bit of fun with things. And so they hired Norwegian FHM model and sex columnist Linni Meister to shoot a music video for a charming little ditty titled MY ASS. It is, as you may have guessed, all about Meister's ass. Which is a very nice ass and featured prominently in said video. How this connects to a Nazi zombie ad campaign I will leave to you to discover but I will say this: while a version of the video is available on YouTube, the complete and uncensored version was promptly removed for terms of service violations and the only place brave enough – or crass enough, as the case may be – to host the uncensored version proved to be Twitch. You'll find it at the link below.
Enjoy Linni's ass here. And don't say I never gave you anything.
My ravings about CG animation house Platige Image have become fairly standard stuff over the years, cropping up afresh every time something new appears from the studio. I'll spare you the full rant but suffice it to say that, in my opinion, Platige are among the very best in the world and the company would very likely be a household name if it were American or Japanese instead of Polish. As it is they'll just have to be satisfied with doing damn good work.
Any new project from Platige is something to take notice of and THE KINEMATOGRAPH is no exception. It's a steampunk influenced short film that serves to raise the question once again of when, oh when, will Platige finally bite the bullet and make a feature.

Oh, Gaspar, you're such a tease. It's only one image with suitably creepy audio accompaniment but, brief as it is, it is the first public taste of Gaspar Noe's ENTER THE VOID, the latest slap in the face from the notorious director of IRREVERSIBLE. The Cannes audience was split on this one but that's pretty much a given when Noe is involved and those who liked it generally looooooooooved it.
ENTER THE VOID here
Hong Kong has been taking a bit of a breather on the event-film front for a little while now but there are two bona-fide blockbusters due out there before the end of the year. One is huge scale martial arts extravaganza BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS, which stars just about everyone in Hong Kong as either a bodyguard or assassin. And then there's this film.
STORM WARRIORS is the latest from the Pang Brothers, the Thai born purveyors of much eye candy who burst on to the scene with the original version of BANGKOK DANGEROUS – and subsequently proved with their own remake that they should never work in English again – before cementing their reputation with THE EYE. This one is the big budget sequel to hugely popular martial arts fantasy THE STORM RIDERS, bringing back the original cast to continue the story is a hugely amped up visual style. STORM WARRIORS is the first true digital backlot film to be made in Hong Kong, an effects-heavy fantasy shot using basically the same techniques put to use in 300 and, personally, I find the visuals just stunning. There hasn't been much to see until just recently when the arrival of the full theatrical trailer brought much visual goodness.

Hey! It's Gaspar Noe again! Only this time he's brought David Lynch, Harmony Korine, Asia Argento, Larry Clark and a whole lot more – thirty seven more, to be precise – along with him. The project is ONEDREAMRUSH, a series of 42 short films based on the dreams of their creators, each lasting 42 seconds, from 42 directors, all sponsored by vodka company 42 Below. The whole 42 thing would be kind of irritating except, you know, it's the answer to life, the universe and everything, BMW has already proved this sort of corporate-sponsored film making can actually yield some really good results and the list of directors is bloody well fantastic. Trailer aint bad, either.

Bald Billy Zane battling zombies in Ancient Greece! Okay, so Billy looks like more of a prophet than a zombie battler per se but, hey! He's in there! And so are zombies battling the toga and tunic set! It's the sequel to ultra-splattery Greek zombie picture TO KAKO – released here simply as EVIL – and it looks rather fun.
Find the EVIL 2 trailer here. With subtitles, even!
More zombies? Okay, if you really want some, here's the second – and unrated – trailer for EVIL ALIENS director Jake West's latest, DOGHOUSE. It's boys versus girls in this one as the zombie apocalypse here is triggered by some sort of experimentation that affects only women. And they're none to pleased about it.

Something else I'd expect the ladies to be none to pleased about is a film revolving around a blow up sex doll come to life being played as a gentle romantic comedy but strangely that is exactly what Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-Eda has made with AIR DOLL and the backlash I'd expected simply hasn't appeared. Korean actress Bae Do-Na – you know her from THE HOST – plays the titular blow up doll in the film that played Cannes to mostly glowing reviews. And based on the just-released theatrical trailer I can see why people liked it, though I still find the subject matter bizarre in the extreme.

Upcoming Finnish project MOTHGIRL is one of those cases where less may be more and so I'm not going to tell you anything at all about the story and simply let the first teaser speak for itself. And that teaser? Yow. It's a pre-production concept reel designed to sell the look and feel of the thing to potential investors and damn straight I'd sink money into it if I had any. This is the best teaser I've seen in ages.

Right! New Uwe Boll! I promised and now I deliver. The film is called STOIC, a based-on-a-true-story prison drama starring Edward Furlong. Remember when AMERICAN HISTORY X, TERMINATOR 2 and PECKER all combined to make Furlong the next hot young thing who was supposed to lead his generation of actors?
Get STOIC here
Ah, James Cameron, we'll be forever indebted to you for showing how a successful horror film could be reimagined and re-envisioned as a full on action spectacle, completely changing the game in the transition from ALIEN to ALIENS. It's a trick that has been copied to varying degrees of success ever since and one that Spanish directors Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza obviously took notice of. How so? Their sequel to hugely successful first-person zombie picture [REC] is nearing completion and they're taking the Cameron route with this one: Same premise, a story that picks up right where the first left off, action quotient ramped way, way up.
[REC]2 begins with the military moving in to the building quarantined in part one to sweep it out and clear up the zombie mess but things obviously don't go as smoothly as planned. The first-person camera conceit is solved this time by shooting from the perspective of cameras mounted to the soldiers' helmets, the end result coming across like one extremely intense first person shooter. Nice.

Yeah, readers of this column know the score on Belgian cult animation PANIQUE AU VILLAGE by now but I won't stop writing about it until it either stops being awesome or they stop releasing new materials. Option A just aint going to happen and, yes, there is a new clip on the scene, so guess what: PANIQUE is back in the IEC. Go and be amused.

Thai director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang has been a great favorite ever since I discovered his stellar LAST LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE – a film that triggered an immediate search for his entire back catalog and an ongoing fascination with his new projects moving forward. Premiering in Cannes this year was Ratatnaruang's latest, NYMPH, a horror tinged domestic drama. The version that screened in Cannes was very, very arthouse but apparently there is also a more commercially minded version ready for release in Thai cinemas and the first trailer for that version has just arrived. Don't mess with the angry tree, that's all I'm gonna say …

From Thailand we head to the good ol' US of A where writer-director Dave Boyle has assembled one whale of a cast for his latest Asian-American themed comedy WHITE ON RIDE. Hiroshi Watanabe – you know him from LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA – stars as Jimmy, a forty year old divorcee sharing a bedroom with his ten year old nephew - where he is tolerated by his sister and resented by his brother in law – while he tries to get his life back in order. Socially awkward in the extreme but blissfully happy about being so, WHITE ON RICE is all about Watanabe's performance and it's a great one – both funny and charming – and he's got some serious help from the rest of the cast. There's a Conan O'Brien regular in there, James Kyson Lee from HEROES is in there, along with one of the guys from RESCUE ME and the woman playing his sister has won the Japanese equivalent of an Oscar. WHITE ON RICE is the sort of film that slips through the cracks in North America far too easily but is very well worth a look.

Back before the Italian community began protesting their typecasting as criminal types in film with any degree of regularity they were entirely on the other side of the coin, Italy being one of the great producers of exploitative crime film throughout the 1970s. And those films are the subject of EUROCRIME, a new documentary from Mike Malloy – with former Fantastic Fest programatrix Kier-La Janisse helping out behind the scenes – that ropes in many of the major players from the scene for a behind the scenes look at what made it tick. Essential stuff for fans of the era.

Our penultimate entry also hails from America, specifically revolving around one of the most famous and scenic parts of the country: the Grand Canyon. An indie survival thriller that makes stunning use of its natural surroundings, THE CANYON – about to have its world premiere at Montreal's Fantasia Festival - follows a young married couple stranded off the beaten track, lost and without any supplies, deep in the bed of the canyon itself when their unorthodox guide is bitten by a poisonous snake. All they've got is hunger, thirst, and a pack of wolves out for blood. An effective little piece of work, this one, and the trailer has just arrived.

I once asked TOKYO GORE POLICE director Yoshihiro Nishimura in an interview whether any extreme was too extreme, if there was any particular boundary of good taste that should not be crossed, if it was possible to go too far. Answer: No. And so, in that spirit, I present to you a clip from his latest – VAMPIRE GIRL VERSUS FRANKENSTEIN GIRL – in which a group of high school girls face off in a competitive wrist-slicing rally.

Smokin! Nothing like hearing a Minnie mouse voice coming out of a seriously fuckable body with major assage!

Thank the lord

Dead Snow obviously looks mint. But what the fuck has happened to British horror- it's like everyone is a 14 year old retard. I blame shaun of the dead for this.
-
Hmmm, I'm still yet to see either Evil or Tokyo Gore Police. I clearly need to remove finger from ass and get onto it.
-
I don't think I'd bother coming to this site any more.
-
I was mainly comparing it to this year. So far none of these movies will last longer then this year.
-
why can't I mail booze? The nearest DHL/ Fedex/ UPS is fucking miles away.
-
except for Let The Right One In. It's been a big fat turdfest reminiscent of the Spiderman/Shrek 3 year.
-
TDK won't be- it's too flawed. I really liked it, but I don't reckon it's going to be talked about in 20 years. Seriously, outside of geeks, nobody talks about Burton's Batman, and people barely even remember Batman Begins.
-
I need to see that Ass video. I swear me and my buddies came up with that idea in middle school. Just a 2 hour movie of an ass, after its box office revenue make a sequel called boobs.
-
That Frankenstein girl vs Vampire girl looks suitably fucked up. Check out Linnis ass in the video.
-
but I'm still feeling robbed by Teenage Hooker becomes a killing machine, which was nothing like I thought it was going to be.

Movie thing sounds awesome. I love the Driver movies, best thing Clive has ever done.
-
Damn good flick. Still do not understand how the watch was hot though.
-
Redbelt.

OH YEAH!

at least nobody has stolen the idea we came up with for nazi clones on the moon.

Going to be an actual movie?

My younger cousins grew up with the prequels and they love them. Jar Jar and all.

My nephews and all their friends love Star Wars.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
And both of them say their favorites are Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith. It doesn't seem like the change of effects quality affects them. To kids they are all just Star Wars films. Very cool.
-
The world is not quite ready for this awesomeness.
-
I want to see it, but at the same time I think its funny that a convicted rapest gets his own documentary, and is now seen as a good guy because he's in a funny movie and had a tragic thing happen to him.
-
Fuck yeah! Extremely happy to see Scorsese make a good old fashioned b-movie thriller rather than another crime film.
-
Nice to see lots of stuff from around the world getting attention. Hopefully the day will come when European movies are as easy to see here as Hollywood garbage.Redbelt was pretty damn entertaining. That Mamet is one talented mofo.
-
The thing is, and this is the key difference, children have fuck all in the way of critical faculties- they either just like something or they don't. By the time they hit 16 they'll prefer the originals, and by the time they're in their 20's they'll hate Jar Jar- it just won't get to the same "raped my childhood" hysteria that you get from us. I remember me and a mate having to take his younger sister to The Phantom Menace. At the time she loved it, now she thinks it's ass. Which it is.

and to be honest- who gives a shit what an 8 year old thinks?
by lost jarv
I fucking loved all sorts of crap when I was that age, that I now know is shite.
-
They have no agenda and no bias. They are honest and they will tell you straight up what they enjoy or don't care about. I still like pretty much everything I liked when I was a kid. And Star Wars are kids movies! In the end Lucas wins. The only ones still crying are on this site and writing for Empire.
-
Some of the scenes were quite nutty.
-
Is that the one where Aurora is finally D.P.'ed in two?
-
Yeah I agree with Danny. Kids like some shit sometimes (Paul Blart, DisasterMovie), but Star Wars at least appeals to kids and their creative and imaginative faculties. Nothing will appeal to a kid more than heroes, monsters, and cool weapons. Throw in some spaceships too and you've got classic kid chow.
-
Yup....kids are pretty much right on. EXCEPT when it comes to Transformers.....every 8 year old can fuck off for that support.

I'm not so blind I can't see that my childhood movies
by hawaiian organ donor
Haven't aged very well. At least some of them. But with rare exception they still hold a place in my heart. It's hard to hate a movie that's aged poorly when watching it takes you back to some of the happiest times in your life.
-
Rec 2? Count me in.
-
...so my childhood films are 80s. And almost everyone of them still kicks fucking ass.

by ironic_name
on the moon. soundtrack by yngwie malmsteen.
-
I actually like that slick horror genre. It feels theme-parkish to me. 1408 felt like being on a ride. But nothing about Shutter Island's generic story, Leo looking exactly the same yet again, and Scorsese gets me excited. It looks dull. And if you know the story....it is dull.
-
That guy is my God. Well, besides Bale of course.
-
Quint made the good point that maybe some pple are listing not necessarily their favorite summer movie, but the one that changed them in some way. Mine works in both categories. Jurassic Park. All the way. For the first time I really paid attention to just how important sound design and the other aspects of filmmaking were in creating an awesome experience. At the time I still wanted to be a paleontologist or a Disney animator, but it was one of the first movies that started turning me on to filmmaking instead.
-
Jun 11, 2009 11:13:55 AM CDT
oh yeah Michelle looks FIIIIIIIINE in Shutter though...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...that much is true.
-
Watched The Ice Harvest last night for the first time. Not entirely sure I liked it.
-
Especially when they're riding their bikes through the neighborhood and that Cyndi Lauper song is playing. HOOK works the same way. but we've already had that conversation here.

....and in the background this Eddie Griffin movie Irish Jam is on. He wins a poetry contest and wins a pub in Ireland. Its actually pretty fun. Eddie is a decent actor in this. What a weird fucking premise....who the fuck thought let's send Eddie Griffin to Ireland!!
-
...total utter shit. you fucks made me take the trouble of downloading the MOTHGIRL trailer, all I got was something that looked like a commercial, with no hint at story or character - tell me, please someone tell me how this is intriguing! (And the music was like a lame piano rip of Elfman's BATMAN theme.) Elsewhere there was stuff that made LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS look like fucking Tarkovsky, and some Eurotrashy bimbo designed for 15-year-old ladmag-reading boys who like fake tits but are afraid of pussy. you guys should be ashamed of pushing this rubbish.

Jurassic Park revolutionized epic scenes in a fantasy
by hawaiian organ donor
I love Empire but at no point do I really feel like I'm there during the battle on Hoth.With the T-Rex scene alone, Spielberg put the audience right in the middle of the action and had us thinking we could get chomped in the safety of the theater. The sound, the set design, the flawless CGI mixed with a physical model, the white knuckle tension, that scene had it all.When I walked out of JP I hadn't felt that magically since probably Roger Rabbit.
-
back when I was 12 or 13 and would try to stay up late to watch letterman and I saw the ads it was amazing to me. not an appropriate child's movie, I know, but hey.
-
I've still tossed to her though.

"EVERYONNNNNE!!!"

oh, and terminator 2, that movie rocked when I waas a lad
by ironic_name
-
Not only is Undercover Brother required viewing, but his stand up comedy is gold. I think Deuce Bigelow 2 killed his movie career though.
-
the best part is when he nearly shoots the old lady in the hall.
-
fucking keyboard
-
kids have no critical faculties, and a capacity to be dazzled- and to be fair Lucas does deliver that in spades, but as they get a bit older all the shit that's wrong with them (especially TPM and AOTC) will be more relevant and they'll think why did I like that shit?
-
With Michelle, I'd let Johnny Deep take care of it as well.
-
Watching it in 1993 was awesome, but mainly because of the buildup to seeing those dinos, plus the action scenes (totally amazing) - and of course incredible production, CGI, sound etc. (But quite dull themes from John Williams.) HOWEVER, while JAWS had loads of great stuff and drama and character apart from the shark, all the human stuff in JURASSIC is very lame. The speech from Dickie A about his flea-circus - urgh. The terrible, TERRIBLE, character arc of Sam Neil: Act 1: 'I hate kids', Act 3 'aw, ok, maybe kids aren't too bad... ahhhh'. And what do the film-makers have against minorities. It seems like the only people killed are black people and fat people! Look: it was a great, great experience in the theatre, but even on the way out one felt it was Spielberg hearkening back to greater days - Jaws, ET, Close Encounters, Raiders. Those films, man, were BLINDING!
-
Watch Seagal's Urban Justice to see Griffin do his best Tony Montana.
-
really, in the light of various lame-o prequels at the moment, the idea of the prequels - a democracy turns into a dictatorship! a good guy turns bad! - are beginning to look rather more interesting. although much of TPM is unwatchable.
-
Time don't cure their ills...

He is surprisingly warm and loving in this Irish movie.....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....its like it was written for more of a leading man guy and he stepped in. He does a little bit of his comedy, but its pretty restrained.
-
I'm not a big fan. Sure, the dinos are awesome, but the human interaction is pathetic.
-
The International sounds like a movie worth picking up for $5. Too bad it just came out.
-
I refuse to watch that japanese blood-fest Vampire girl vs. Frakstien girl. Don't get me wrong. I love large amounts of bloodshed but that just looks tasteless and none of that made any sense (wrist cut rally WTF?). That was also the most racist depiction of a black person I've ever seen. Sorry. Not watching it.
-
Worst big budget film? Finding Nemo? No fucking way. How big a budget did say Battlefield Earth have?
-
Way to go Linni.
-
Since your live and kicking, any chance of a copy of The Hurt Locker? Every time I watch the Unusuals, which is ok, I wish I could see Reamer in an uniform seeing that he is in one for 95% of his career.
-
Relax and go have a banana.I'm the first to admit the characters are flimsy and there's a lot of clunky stuff in the film.But it's brilliant film making. And 1993 was a magical summer for me.
-
clocked out right now for lunch. Would it be OK to watch the Linni video?
-
Goes through about 20 different facial expressions when he yells "EVVVERRRRRYYYOONNNNNNEEE!" May be Natalie's finest acting performance.
-
I don't se why not. It's not really THAT bad.
-
He made those movies.
-
Acting performence. I don't understand her appeal, it makes me think most men are secertly gay or pedofiles when they say they like her (or Kira Knightly). Why would you want to date a 12 year old boy?
-
Its a great movie. I love it. Why the fuck would that bother you?
-
The one film where praise baffles me. Shit acting, action scenes with no soul, insanely incoherent logic and the less said about the 'Padme giving up' nonsense the better.
-
The longer cut of The Professional is just the tits. Only saw that version a few months ago for the first time.
-
Jurrassic Park 3 was just a dream. (say is like Jeff Goldblum).
-
But I'm a lover of all women. And I find them to be very attractive. Not so much ScarJo, though. I can leave her.
-
You're really going to make me go to the post office and drop off all these packages that are piling up, aren't you?Christ I'm lazy.Spiderman 3 gets my vote for worst big budget film ever.
-
Pretty enough, but she looks like a skeleton at points. And I can't get it up for a skeleton who'd tell me I needed to lose weight.
-
Or fine, they are just plain. Nothing special, mainly due to the fact that they have negative chest.
-
Its a shame they cut all that stuff out of the American release. Once I saw the extended cut back in college, I really came around to the idea of a Matilda sequel. If they had a good story, I think it'd be great.
-
Articles. Though I do like the summer movie stuff. But shit like Ridly Scott HAS to direct the next Alien movie, its just bull shit, never going to happen. I think Aliens is probably the biggest thing people geek out about on this site.
-
Leon takes Matilda out on a few hits and has her practice killing them, face to face, with paintball guns. In one scene, the target is freaked out and is so relieved to find he's been shot by paint. And just when he thinks he's safe Leon raises his pistol and kills him. Leon also takes Matilda out to a restaurant where she gets drunk on champagne and starts coming onto him in the middle of the restaurant. Very Lolita there.
-
Was incredible. Say what you want about her but hands down she's got the best body of any actress in Hollywood. I came really close to pausing and spanking one into a couch pillow.
-
She definitely needs to eat a ham sandwich.
-
Too risque for America, I suppose that's why it was cut. ScarJo...nothing special with the face, but that's not important with that kicking body.
-
I'm actually glad that wasn't in the theatrical cut. I was ashamed enough for sprouting chub during the "Marilyn Monroe" scene
-
Yes, it was cut out to protect you, and those around you, Stuntcock.
-
Because otherwise, I'm not interested. She's curvy, yes, but she doesn't show much skin, so I have no idea how toned she is. Big boobs aren't enough for me. And I just don't like her face that much.
-
Yeech. I didn't find anything attractive about that.
-
I hope that gets released in the states. It better, or someones gonna pay.
-
And gets turned around to be taken from behind. It brought me momentary joy.I'm tempted to go have a beer or six for lunch.
-
Looks like she has Downs syndrome but those cans are nice and fluffy and she's curvy so that's alright. She's not a very good actress though. I bet Ryan Reynolds motor boats those sweater puppies every single day.
-

AND taken from behind? Okay now I'm excited.
-
Then absolutely EVERYONE involved should be fucking fired. Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner should be fired for rejecting other offers and going with the rushed script. Producers Brad Weston and Lorenzo should be fired for thinking it was a good idea and a good script. Sommers should be fired for making a bad movie. What really gets me is that ALL these people are in high positions of power and are now (according to this report) all completely terrified of the turkey they have on their hands and this are afraid of losing their jobs. Note to all you guys: You SHOULD lose your jobs for making such terrible decisions. Numbskulls. The Hasbro CEO is worried the movie will destroy the brand... Good lord, did he read the script? FUCKING MORONS! I tells ya!
-
Anyone seen like the last episode or two of last seasons Nip/Tuck? A dude bangs a couch, the guy from Hostel (the one thats not Bart).
-
They should just change the name to something like, Street Comandos and BAM! You got a midicore movie on your hands, I think they strayed too far from Go Joe and it pissed people off.
-
jealous that while he was wanking to megan fox pictures and crying, hasbro didn't knock on his door and ask him if he would like to make a 3 hour long dead serious movie about men with no real names fighting other man with no real names for, uh, something. oh and there would be a man in a cast iron facemask that [wait for it] can move, because its a special metal that is weak enough move when he moves his lips, like foil.
and then he would feel validated and then maybe he would feel like he hadn't wasted his life. -
What movie? Not That Into You? Or Spirit? One of the first dates I went on with my lady friend we saw Match Point, she really liked it. On the way to car (SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN MATCH POINT, which is pretty good) I jokingly said, I'd cheat with ScarJo if I could kill her." That was like 3 years ago, still holds it against me to this day.
-
Dr. Doom bangs Kelly Carlson from behind on a chair, with her bobbing up on down on his lap. I didn't know they could show that on tv (even if it is cable). She's a hottie.
-
Did Star Trek: Nemisis and US Marshels, he sucks. Executive Decision was ok.
-
Should be watch, especially season 2-3.
-
He says "What sucks is everyone posting how bad this film is when they've never seen it, which is typical internet bullshit when you're able to safely hide behind the anonymity of your keyboard." What? The film LOOKS TERRIBLE. It literally looks TERRIBLE. Fuck you for suggesting we can't say that.
-
They let out about a week or two ago, was dumb as shit as well.
-
*ahem* http://www.iron sky. net/
-
They break into a building just to fire a rocket? Huh? Was it really worth all that risk to do something they could have done from the ground? Or from the helicopter that comes to pick them up? COBRA really isn't that smart, apparently. Run by the same numbskulls that greenlit this movie.
-
Blowing up the eifle tower should be cool. It didn't do anything for me. Twisted Metal 2 had more impact for me.

Is okay. Nothing special. All the good parts were in the trailer, and they were far less impactful in the film. They made the mistake of cramming shitty music in inappropriate moments, like the montage of Wall-E playing with various items. That scene should have been just natural sound. The generic score really took away from those scenes. And the opening shit on Earth is far too brief. Its the best part of the film, and it felt like I saw all of it in the trailer. I agree with what others have said-- as soon as they get inside the ship the movie takes a steep nose dive. Those scenes annoyed the fuck out of me. It is repetitive whiz bang bullshit. And I dont know how anyone can hate on SW prequels while loving Wall-E. All that shit on the ship reminded me of the assembly line factory scene in Episode II. Its exactly the same pace and tone. Too much automation. The characters just randomly bouncing around with shit happening around them. It got boring fast. As I suspected the human animation was fucking horrid. Overall its pretty disappointing. When I read the original concept years ago I was sure it would be the most brilliant animated film ever made. Sadly the animation is standard, and the story is dumbed down generic kiddie stuff.
It looks no different than any Pixar animation. They bragged about their photorealism, I didn't see it. I suppose the dust particle generator and lens flare were well done, but thats about it. And this whole 'Revolution' theme. Where the fuck do you get that? Wall-E is not going against his programming and rebelling against the system. He is merely after a girl he cares about. He is tossed into the situation that follows and he reacts accordingly. I don't understand where you get that he's some big rebel. But Pixar/Disney trying to say something about mass consumerism is pretty fucking funny. Overall. I wish more of it was set on Earth. I wish Wall-E was alone longer before she showed up. I never really got a sense he was that lonely. It seemed like he was perfectly happy alone. The Hello Dolly shit was one of the best choices Stanton made. And it was his only truly original one. -
Still think it got snubbed because Slumdog was everywhere, that song is annoying now. It's no Tunck Tunck Tunck.
-
Count me in, then! Haha.
-
I'm pretty sure all I heard that it was a great creepy stalker love story.
-
Then your not going to give a shit about the old man in Up.
-
with jean claude and wesley, supporting role from dolph lundgren ©MMIX talkback productions. filming begins in Romania as soon as micheal beihn is allowed back in the country.
-
It looked like he enjoyed his life. Not to say he had to be lonely....but still. It just felt like she showed up too quick in the story. Vader and a few others talk about Wall-E being about revolution.
-
Should I go?
-
Could be considered reolutionary, but Wall-E now, just another Johnny Five.
-
....she is doing exactly what she is programmed to do. Bring back a sample and protect the plant. The real revolutionary is the auto pilot guy. He is the only one going against direct orders.
-
I'm really impressed. But somehow, I get the feeling the live-action footage won't look as great as all that CGI stuff. Nazis. I hate these guys.
-
Or see it as a blue-collar worker falling in love with the rich uptown girl. But yeah, I'm the one who sees it as being about Revolution. Wall-E goes against his programming, and he starts teaching others to do the same. To go beyond their boundaries and to stop accepting the norm. Its classic science fiction in that sense. You've got a "hero" who leads the rebellion against a future regime that won't accept threats to the status quo, an authority that locks up free thinkers while telling everyone else what to think. Haven't read Danny's review yet. About to.
-
Just that through him, everyone else learns to rebel.
-

The captain is a huge rebel against the system.....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....and it has nothing at all to do with Wall-E. Its a decision he makes on his own after watching the footage of Earth.
-
Is really just him trying to impress his girlfriend and that's the twist. But through all his actions, he frees the political prisoners and influences others to start thinking for themselves, leading humanity into a second renaissance.
-
If it was just Eve that came to Earth and brought the plant back, the captain would have had the exact reaction and been intent on returning to Earth. Wall-E didn't affect that outside of a few action scene conveniences.
-
They never would have gotten the plant back. Therefore you can't say Wall-E didn't have a big effect.
-
Jun 11, 2009 2:41:13 PM CDT
But that has nothing do with your revolution thing.....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
......the way you described it, it was like Wall-E made an actual choice to disregard his programming and stand up for the human race. It has nothing do with that. His motives are completely self serving.
-
He leaves Earth, leaves his job, leaves what he was programmed to do in order to follow his passion. In other words, he stops doing what he's been "told" to do. Compared to the humans, who have evolved into automatons who are only able to function when the AI in charge tells them how to act, what to like, etc, etc, Wall-E is a revolutionary. You're right, in that sense, the Captain is too, because he stands up against the "evil" government. And yes, I said up above Wall-E's acts were self-serving to impress the girl (sorry if I wasn't clear in the past and you thought Wall-E was a Jesus-like leader), but that doesn't take anything away from the fact that the film essentially tells kids "those in charge aren't always right".
-
Jun 11, 2009 2:48:18 PM CDT
But that doesn't matter. I'm not slamming Wall-E....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....the character. I think he and Eve and their relationship was the best part of the film. I didn't give a fuck about anything else. Everything that happened on the ship will ensure that this film will not be hailed as a classic.

What's with all the WALL-E talk?...it was good, but UP is...
by flickapoo
...perfect. PERFECT.
-
They will see like a cute robot that goes after his girlfriend. Thats it. I was thinking of Wall-E's design, why wouldn't they make him a little bit bigger? At least the size of a washing machine. Seems like it would make the work a hell of a lot faster.
-
....after some called it a masterpiece, I was surprised by how generic it was.
-
...what was great about it didn't fully translate to home viewing, sadly. But again, UP is perfect.
-
...start to hate it.
-
Just creative free-thinkers that are threats to the status quo. So they're locked up. They become political prisoners. Wall-E frees them, they follow him, they look to him as their leader. Sure, he's not intending to lead, but still that's what he's doing inadvertently or not. He's become a symbol to them, and he's become a symbol to the humans (specifically the couple he's brought together) as well when they see him fighting. Even though its unintentional, his mere presence starts disrupting the status quo on the ship. It starts simply enough; teaching that one scary button-pushing robot to wave. And then you have MOE, the droid that leaves his intended path to follow Wall-E, still doing his job, cleaning, but not in the way he's been ordered and programmed to do. And sure enough, the police show up to arrest him and thus begins the chase and the newly freed prisoners start fighting back, and yadda yadda yadda.
-
Kids aren't *supposed* to see it. That's why its subversive. That's why I find it to be particularly brilliant. Its hidden beneath all the cutesy stuff and the love-story, but its there if you look for it. That's why Pixar films are great. They're usually about more than what they appear to be on the surface.
-
Uhhhhhh....you're totally stretching. I guess if you make up an entire subplot that doesn't exist, than yeah-- Wall-E becomes quite impressive.
-
Jun 11, 2009 3:02:46 PM CDT
Okay. So whiz bang Star Wars action scenes.....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....are just there to hide the brilliance. So the part when the make-up droid put the eye make-up on Wall-E, is that making a statement on sexual identity in our world?
-
If you look at the ship as being an oppressive government that tells its citizens what to do and what to think, and you see how it tries to lock up the Captain who wants to go against the government's plans, then its not out of the question to see the malfunctioning droids as being political prisoners. That's *exactly* what any oppressive government would do: lock up those that cause trouble or threaten the status quo by doing what they wanted, or by expressing themselves freely with their dangerous art (as evidenced by the makeup droid). Those droids did what they wanted, how they wanted instead of doing what the government told them. So they were locked up for it. The only way you can argue against that is to simplify it by describing it as how they're literally presented onscreen: malfunctioning robots. I'm saying, just look a little closer, and you'll see how it makes sense.
-
Is just an artist. Painting how she wants.
-
But I agree, the beginning is much more powerful. It is a silent comedy then - something out of Keaton or Chaplin or Arbuckle - minus a coke bottle.
-
On one hand, it is annoying bubble gum pop with enough distortion on a girl's voice to make her sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
On the other hand, she is talking about a really nice ass. And yes, I can last... -

Analyzing the deeper meaning of a film is fun......
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....and even if anything you say was Stanton's actual intent, it still doesn't make a difference. They took a great opening and drove it into the ground with comedic action mediocrity thats been done better in a thousand other films.
-
Is actually the best performance she has done in years (since Ghost World). She is sexy, but also sweet and vulnerable and all to human. She is much similar to Melanie Griffith and Marilyn Monroe than she it too Barbara Stanwyck or Jane Fonda. You are not that versatile my dear.
-
Chaplin's "Modern Times" where something very systematic and organized gets upset by someone very human (in this case, a very human robot).
-
....would not last for 700 years.
-
Does it have self replicating AI capability?
-
Are similar in terms of great opening turned into action/adventure flick.
-
Hated that fucking movie.
-
Even have babies?
-
If they were intending the clean up to last only 5 years, 700 years later they are still living fine on that ship? Was it ever clear that Wall-E is the last unit still running? I don't remember if we're just supposed to assume that or not. I'm reading about it.
-
Was fat, and he said Wall-e was too preachy............
-
...action resolved and carried through the themes of the film...WALL-E felt a little jarring. And, UP took us some place new, while the second half of WALL-E felt a bit familiar.
-
Jun 11, 2009 3:23:46 PM CDT
Modern Times is a beautiful film. How dare you.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
But we just know that because he's the only one we see?
-
Don't read if you haven't seen or care. Was A) How did that kid end up on the porch, they clearly show the porch fly by the screen as the house takes off and its empty. B) What was the boys family situation? Did his dad leave/die? Was he adopted? What?
-
...the boy's parents were divorced. The boy says that "Phyllis" says he calls too much and bothers his dad...Phyllis is the new wife and the boy lives just with his mom, who is at the ceremony at the end.
-
Like maybe some text?
-
It could be a factory (like Modern Times) or it could be a football game, a baseball game, the opera, or a kitchen for a restaurant. Just take something that is very structured (like the Starliner) and add a out of control, Chaplin/Keaton character to stir up the pot.
That is WALL-E did. And while I am not as huge as fan of the second part, I thought it worked for what they were trying to do - have WALL-E's presence change the status quo and actually change the people he meets (the floor cleaning robot being one of the best example). -
Without the sound. Nice!
-
That was not very clear. Because at the end they make it seem like the boy has no one. My thing with Up is that it had to go over most kids heads.
-
He made it sound like someone dies in the end. So i kept thinking they were going to kill the dog or the old man. Had they done that I think I would have liked it more.
-
Is that I fucking hate old people. And for the main reason that Up was trying to say.
-
I just want to say Eli Roth must be killed before he remakes Funhouse.
And D. Vader (I think he said it) nailed it when he said that they got the idea to do the remake by reading this forum. From now on I am going to talk about shitty movies that I could care less get remade. -
...behind the dirigible?
-
when he was thinking about his dad and thinking what if the old man dies, and he said he won't ruin it-- because it just has to be experienced or something. What the fuck?
-
STREET FIGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!! Or Death Bed, The Bed That Eats People!
-
Leave Stree Fighter alone I love that fucking movie, especially the Dion Sanders/MC Hammer rap song at the end.
-

Stop them from going back to earth. Remember that shot where the Captain sees all the old Captains and the thing they have in common is HAL.

Because Hal is in the picture with the captains? And I understand he was programmed to stop them....but why?

The general concenseus around here, which is correct by the way, is that Megan Fox has a set of balls and a hormone-shruken cock and yet, I probably would anyhow.

-

-
And he was following the president's (Fred Willard) order to forget about coming back to earth to a T without any deviation.
HAL represented the idea of following a philosophy or doing you job without thought, and how it robs you of your humanity (the same with most other robots). The fat humans represented how living your life only for pleasure and comfort also robs you of your humanity. WALL-E was the happy in-between
WALL-E is Bale: He is in EQUILIBRIUM. -

Seems like she is stupid and overly emotional about everything. Like she doesn't act, that's who she is. She can't even take care of her kid, Johnny Deep and co are going have to provide for her.
-
Nothing worse than a hand job where they don't massage your balls - I got nerve endings there too you know.
-
If thats the case, why would the ship have the ability to return to Earth at all? Why would it recognize the plant and go green with the plant icons? Wouldn't the ship's master A.I. not recognize that if The President had put out the call to not return to Earth?
-
But even if she still had her junk and the light was right and I started drinking again I would hit it from behind.I agree, there aren't enough Trannys in movies nowadays. Isn't one of the Arquettes a shim? Why doesn't he/she get more work?

-
Its that I spend more time and energy on film people hail as a masterpiece or classic or whatever. Or Pixar's flawless record. If no one said a word about it.....fine. Its a standard animated film, whatever. The fact that people rolled in a ball and shot a wad in their own face over it made me pay a little more attention to what was happening. And I'm not the only one. A lot of people felt Wall-E was very lackluster. The concept is brilliant. The execution was dull. But I wouldn't say I didn't like it. The main character is great. The humans and everything around them is what sucks. I would give it 4/10.
-
Jesus, I forgot about the Arquette tranny. Best season of the Surreal Life ever. He/she was trying to kick some fratboy ass during one episode. It looked like Jerry Fucking Seinfeld with lipstick.

You've noticed it more because it was recently directed at Star Trek and now Wall-E. And I didn't hate Wall-E at all. But I fucking hated Star Trek.

The only thing I don't like is a finger in my ass. Maybe I am to homophobic, or maybe it is because I had a bad experience the first time when a girl with big nails slid her finger in there and it broke off.
Squirming in my seat thinking about it. -
Utilized this site, and other like it, just to get a feel about what people think about shit. I mean could you imagine if the Brothers Strauss ever read stuff on this site? Smart directors do read the TB's, Cameron (or has someone do it for him). But most directors are probably surronded by people kissing their ass telling them they are great or are tool cool to care (McG) about what other people think. Also what about directors of flops like Speed Racer and Crank 2, if they came here they'd know that what they did worked something in the marketing didn't.
-
I see films throughout the week I enjoy and forget to mention or just don't care to mention because everyone here already liked it, and I find TB's were everyone agrees a movie is awesome are tedious. So its not like I dislike more than I like. Its just that I would rather talk about things I dislike. Its more fun.

dickblood didn't care much for Wall•E . Either i missed the subtle double underscore (or zeros) of a dickblood imposter or he is fat.

Didn't see Ratatooey, either, but did like Up, for what it's worth."My Name is Dug..." etc. It was fun.

just watched that one with my wife...wierd experience. I got the distinct feeling the entire western world was being mocked by biting satire in a soft pink package.
Love the gals bringing the signs with the dead snow pics back and forth.
And Danny, Wall-E was mediocre...Your review after you watched it sounded almost identical to your review before you saw it..Still, for someone whose opinion I vehemently disagree with, as usual you articulate very well why you feel that way.
Doesn't make you less wrong though, hoser. Go get some sunshine and stop moaning.
So, you and I are still on for G.I. Joe next month, right? -

I know about a slut talking about how she thought she had cancer
by ironic_name
or some fetus malformation when she pulled something black and gross and melted cheese looking out of her cooch, turns out it was just some guy with an average dick who insisted on wearing horse condoms and it came off inside her, he didn't tell her and a week later monster from her vag!
-
That almost made me throw up my pizza.

And just read ironic's story. I think I am going to go for a walk,..

I'd have to smack somebody for that. Holy shit. Dude would get more than just a fingernail broken off in his ass.

Damn, some pizza sounds good actually. -

I stopped eating margarita pizzas after I saw a placenta on tv, the color and texture is just too similar. of course I at pizza like my name is donatello, but it has to have meat on it. and capsicum [I think you call them ball peppers in the us] to break up the pattern.

Most intense film I've seen in a long time. Handled suspense in a way most movies don't. Long buildup and sometimes a pay-off, sometimes not...and then you would cycle right back into the next day.

I just got back from my walk and posting on the GI JOE TB
by continentalop
Saw that you guys are now talking about placenta pizza.
Think I will go for another walk. -
indeed it does...They Live billboards that look like someone slung crap on them, usually because they have. Nothing like a grody, torn up billboard with the world 'Believe' on it.
Still, all things considered, Baltimore still rocks. At least we have a film festival. Thats pretty cool. And the Harbor. -
during the Hurt Locker, I kept wondering what you would think of the realism.
-
this is what four days of staying up till 10 am has done to my brain. God, I used to comprehend complicated science, now I'm to tired to spell check, and getting hungry for pizza. 12:40 and I've nearly been awake 24 hours.
-
but no pepper on the balls.
-
It's goin well how about you?I haven't seen Hurt Locker but I did read HODs review(good review BTW) and I was a little let down by it(the movie not HOD). It sounded like they crawl up to explosives with pliers and feverishly try to figure out which wire to cut. In reality they use robots to countercharge and destroy an explosive device, or a water canon, or a cool shotgun on a robot thing so they can recover the timing device and figure out the bomb maker.On the other hand I like that Renner guy he's got that something something going on.
-
(f/k/a The City That Reads), almost as if they had a sense of humor about how fucked it is. And oh, how I miss it. Is the Senator still going to be there when I return some day?
Nice review, by the way. In depth, without being spoiler-y. Not the easiest thing to do. -
But I haver ranted about the film quite a bit. So either that confused you or you're thinking someone else. I'd like to think they'd release it this year. There's no godly reason why they shouldn't. I mean, freaking Halloween 2, sorry, "H2" is coming out in August, just like its predecessor.
-
which I used to actual write-up manuals on, or variations on them anyway, at my previous job.
The character in the film is a guy who gets off on the thrill, so he goes in that way most of the time. The particular bombs they come across are most of the time trickier bits and he opts for manual defusing over using the proper measures. -
I tried to post some pics to give a feel for how the film looks. I liked that they gave details like the robot actually breaking it's tread on the street debris.
-
must have been a different guy.
Yea, it's really starting to irk me that the movie has been sitting around so long. I love Halloween and anthologies and it seems ludicrous that it was never released. Everytime I think that I could go to the blockbuster and rent Mega-Shark Vs. Giant Octopus but not this makes me irritable. -
I love Halloween the holiday, and the original JC movie. Not the Rob Zombie 'thing'.
-
He probably would have been shipped out pronto especially if he wasn't using the proper protocol for dearming a device. Then again it's a movie so if the "reble" did not exist there would be no movie.
-
In movies about hierarchical, disciplined groups. Like Bond in QOS: the guy basically goes off the reservation and ignores direct orders because he is letting his personal feeling interfere with the agency's policies. And because did things his way he is indirectly responsible for two peoples lives.
When I was watching QOS I was thinking "M should just off him - he is such a liability and completely undependable."
Anyone else feel that way about that movie? -
I just chalked it up to being a movie most of the time and pretend I'm a duck and it's water. I only get bothered by bad representation of reality when it's stupid/badly/insultingly presented.
-
My point exactly.
-
I've found more disdain for rebel characters, especially having been in the military and seeing how that sort of shit doesn't fly. Made me think all this time growing up that if I didn't give a shit I would save the world. Too bad the world wants a tool like Superman.
-
How have all you fuckers seen The Hurt Locker.
-
you cum in a girls mouth and then she spits it back into yours. After which you then spit it back into hers and continue until it has "snowballed" into a huge ball of cum and spit. Then one of you will swallow. I'm assuming you are referring to what Danny Said earlier. If not and you're talking about something else entirely then...wow...I apologize.
-
Did you like Wall-E or not?
-
I saw it when it played the Maryland Film Festival with Kathryn Bigelow doing Q anf A afterwards.
-
It basically represents everything as being such a damn mess that when the bomb gets disarmed and its declared safe, no one is much paying attention to how.
Maybe not accurate, but I believe the film was based off the accounts of a journalist who went with the team, so who knows.
I don't think there is a single thing in here that would really bother you all that much. It felt real to me in the human details, and since Im not nor ever have been the member of a bomb retrieval squad, I havent the foggiest about all the details.
See it, and let me know how right they got it. It felt like alot of research went into it. -
I saw Bond go rogue in his movies. At this point though I just accept its a movie and Bond is supposed to just be this badass unstoppable motherfucker.
-
did too... This was really the first place where I found a group of people who didnt care for it, all with the same complaint; the second half. I didnt think the second half was a problem at all. I think the movie would poorer if it lacked either part-the quiet opening or the sci-fi oriented adventures on the spaceship. There is no discernable drop in quality other than the fact that it might not have met expecations for what should happen next. I can understand the sentiment, but I didnt feel it. I was actually excited by the second half because it expanded the world.
And besides, Jarv called it delightful, so thats the last word on that.
I think it's probably my favorite Pixar movie to date. And try as I might, I don't understand the Pixar hate but I will smile and nod and acknowledge people have it. -
Screw that, those pinheads don't get anything right.

-
Decent premise, but bad execution (no pun intended).
-
Just wait everything will be remade/relaunched and rebooted. Everything. The Godfather starring Zac Effron as Michael Corleone, Shia LaBoueff as Quint in Jaws. Lindsy Lohan as Luke Skywalker. It's all coming down the pike.
-
Jun 11, 2009 11:28:56 PM CDT
Lindsey Lohan as Luke Skywalker sounds kind of interesting
by continentalop
As long as the film is a hard R or NC-17.
Let the Force be with you Lindsey. As well as an 8-ball and my penis. -
And it is all because Hollywood is so risk averse right now. Should we take a risk and do a completely original movie? Hell no, lets just remake something we know so we have an idea what it will be like and feel safe.
-
Oh man do I agree.
-
but mainly about remakes.
-
A prequel to Up? Those two movies would make a good double feature.
-
...Blue Ray comes out on Tuesday."You can't fight in here, this is the WAR ROOM !!!
-
Gran Torino, everyone would have thought it was a joke and a made for TV movie. Save for Clint all the other actors in the movie were fucking after school specials in their acting (well JCL was alright), but man even the one line actors were god awful.
-
To think that Gran Torino was a box office smash while Speed Racer failed so bad. Gran Torino grossed more then double what Speed Cost and only cost a fraction. Shit Gran grossed more then PBMC did world wide.

And Jonah....yeah-- I assumed I would dislike the humans in Wall-E because their design is shitty. But I didn't anticipate so many of them being in it. And all that tipping of the ship and having them slide around and catch the babies crap just crossed the line. Humans were in it far too much. Wall-E is a great character. Show me more of him. Can you make a short film for me?
-
I'd like to see Eastwood's character in action in Korea. But don't make him look younger or recast. Just shoot him as is. And Burt Reynolds should be his partner. He helps pile the bodies.

Conti....you might be interested in this. I know I am.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
http://tinyurl.com/ngo5r3A Canadian filmaker has made a movie for Gay Pride Week featuring football players getting waterboarded with rainbow-colored underwear covering their noses and mouths, Towleroad reports.
The movie is called "No Safe Words," a reference to S & M culture, and director Noam Gonick said he intended to make a political point by using the waterboarding imagery.
Canadian gay lesbian news source xtra.ca spoke to Gonick about the film:
The military, says Gonick, "uses homoerotic, aggressive acts to harm victims and act as a contagion to society in general."
And, he says, it turns us on. "Conquest is not only about territory, or oil, or puppet dictatorships," he says. "It's sexual, too." -
Like when you're in bed with the missus & starts freaking out, like it's too much/you're going at it too strong for her.
You know you're gonna have to stop pretty soon, so before she asks you, you really lash the granny out of her, just to show you're the big man. Conquest.
How come gays & lesbians get their own news source? Discrimination! -
But I wonder why you thought of me specifically.
Is because of my taste in movies, my political opinions, my former Army background, or the fact I had fingernail in my asshole? -
I am not saying that movie isn't flawed, but it touched me (not that way). Clint Eastwood's character is like a dead-ringer for my dad: the look alike; they sound alike; they are both cranky old men prone to saying offensive shit; both are tough and no non-sense; both are blue collar; both my dad and Eastwood's character served in Korea; and the finally clincher, when Clint pulls out the lighter with the 1st Cav insignia, the same outfit that my dad served with.
My only complaint was they didn't do the 1st Cav song: "Thousand Chinks comin' down the pass/playing the burb gun boogie on the 1st Cav's ass/I'm moving on/and I'll soon be gone/With my M-1 broke/it ain't no joke/I'll soon be gone." -
Read this interview:
http://tinyurl.com/l37p9y
Its interesting, but it is causing my Spidey Sense to tingle. Something about it doesn't seem kosher to me. Of course, I could be wrong, I have no idea what it is like to be a sniper or be in combat, so I would love to see what your opinion is. -
As you continue to post, just realize this; all the readers of this talkback think I'm smarter than you. They also think that pretty much everybody you rant about is smarter than you, because your posts are ignorant and juvenile.
Your best bet is probably silence, but your emotional problems obviously render that option unfeasible. -
I just read that interview you gave the link to. I'm not in the Army, but as I told you on the GI JOE thread, my Brother & best friend are. Sounds like a load of shit to me.
I really hope I'm right! Especially after reading this:
"Did you going to Iraq have anything to do with patriotism?"
"I’d like to say patriotism, but no…I just wanted to fucking kill people."
"You just wanted to kill people?"
"Yeah."
What a dumb cunt.
-
Like I said, I am far from an expert, and I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. And even if it is a 100% accurate, I could find a good explanation for why he said he went there to kill: misquoted; youthful bravado; or just a bad choice of words (he might have meant he went there to kill the enemy, not just kill in general - I see nothing wrong with wanting to kill people who mean harm to others). But what got me to think this might not be true is every article or interview or story about a sniper I have ever read always brings up how they don't go there to kill the enemy as much as save other soldiers lives. For every enemy combatant they kill, they see themselves saving another American soldier's life. This guy didn't bring it up once, and I thought that strange.
And in defense of snipers in general, they have probably the least chance of killing civilians or non-combatants. I know snipers sound brutal, but through their scopes they get a better look at the enemy than the regular infantryman does. You go house to house, busting down doors, you have a good chance of making a bad call and shooting a kid or a woman. A sniper can look through his scope and see if the guy is armed and can usually see what type of weapons he is carrying. They are actually much more "civilian" friendly than the regular grunt.
-
Another pointless attack on Danny. WTF? I'm so sick of people starting fights when there's absolutely no reason to do so. Everybody's having a good time, talking movies, talking bullshit (but funny bullshit), and then some numbnuts gets a wedgie and decides that Danny is to blame(or Jarv, or whoever's day it is to be called out). This is why I'm not around much anymore anywhere. I think the Twitch TB is hands-down one of the greatest places on these Internets and that 99% of the TBers on it are smarter, funnier, friendlier, and more interesting people than 99% of the people I know offline. The 1% group is getting me very discouraged, however. I'm going through a personal deep blue funk lately and I can't seem to tolerate the idiocy of the cyberfighting. Sorry for ranting as this is not directed at the majority of those here. And now back to your daily dose of Twitch wholesomeness.

-
there's another Twitch just appeared...?I'm going for a lie down.
-
I've just got a very low mediocrity tolerance, and it's indicative of the type of shite that's released nowadays that I dislike more than I like.
-
I kind of agree with Danny. But the difference is, I found the first 45 minutes and the end when Wall-E has to get rebooted delightful, so I was able to overlook the fat humans. I thought it was brave, witty, touching and brilliantly put together. Mall Wall-E less humans would have made it a 10/10 film.Pixar's humans really haven't improved since Toy Story.
-
that's far too early. I suggest we save it for when this one hits 1500 posts.
-
Broke the system.
-
last night I watched Midnight Meat Train. Which was Excellent. Vinny Jones was fucking brilliant in it- that's the role he was born to play. The end was a bit messy, but it was a fucking top drawer film.
-
Another movie Jarv liked. I think he has gone crazy.
-
was it could so easily have been torture porn. So kudos is owed for it not being.
-
Because of Vinny Jones. Seriously, I've always thought of him as basically a henchman, but in MMT he's got no dialogue and he just has to look mean and hit people in the head with a meat hammer. It's fucking brilliant casting- Mrs. Jarv was scared fuckless by him. In the making of, they were going on about how they wanted Mahogany to be a "new" horror icon- and if it had been properly supported (fuck you hollywood) he could well have been. Dude's frightening.
-
I like lots of things. Fuck's sake, how is it my fault if most of what is released is horrible garbage? Almost every film I review for the Vault I like- except disturbance which was poo- so that clearly isn't true. I've just finished writing a glowing review of The Funhouse complete with "Eli Roth is a cunt" paragraph.
-
The end where Wall-E loses all life in his eyes truly is brilliant. Its actually scary to think he might not come back. Its such a fantastic emotional moment, and then the dumb ass humans stumble out and remind they're in this move looking like the fuckin' animation in Igor.

While we were at the beach and her Uncle, a POW from WWII was dying. He visited the beach and was playing with a kid in the pool when he had a heart-attack and sunk into the water. I guess no one noticed at first until the little girl screamed or told someone, so he was pulled out, but his wife was out on the beach and had no idea what was going on. They took him to the hospital but he was showing no brain activity. I drove down my grandmother at a last second request that night. We hoped for the best but there wasn't much we could do. That night I had a dream I visited the hospital and found Uncle Joe all young and healthy and energetic. He was smiling and laughing and had a young girl on his lap, though I couldn't see her face. I later interpreted this girl to be my Aunt Alison, who died when she was 12 or 13 to a sudden bout of meningitis. I don't remember if I told my grandmother or not, not wanting to worry her. But in the morning, there was no change in my Uncle's brain activity, so they pulled the plug. I was there with his son and daughter and my grandmother as he passed. It was a strangely beautiful moment. Heartbreaking, though, to see his son calling out to his "papa" and hugging him as he took his last breathes, but I felt very privileged to be there in place of the rest of the family. So I took my grandmother to see Finding Nemo, even though I had already seen it. I can't remember if we saw it the night before while he was still in the hospital, or if we saw it that night after he passed. Either way, it took our minds off things and made us happy for a brief time. Regardless of what you guys think of the movie, I have always and will always think of it as a delightful movie.

Kelly Rowland getting hit in the head with a machete. Rest of the film= wank. On the Region 2 DVD one of the extras was "Jump to a Kill"- if I'd known that before I watched it, then I'd have not bothered with anything apart from her getting hit in the head with a machete. It was every bad high school horror cliche in one film- everything that Scream took the piss out of 7 years previously. Rubbish.

Its fucking hilarious from start to finish. No way in hell were they thinking that was a serious portrayal of high school life. Pretty much every character is comic relief. That movie with friends and alcohol rocks my socks off and my cock out!

Is excited about the new cig ristrictions, they are like fine. It will only kill off our compition. 4 A DAY!

The Movie Orgy is a 1968 film, created by Joe Dante. It is a seven-hour-long compilation of movie clips, commercials, and film trailers assembled by Dante while a college student.
-
I want it in front of my eyeballs right now.
-
It's been said in the past that you'd be interested in a Gremlins 3, but that they wouldn't let you do it with puppets again. Is there any truth in that?
No, what I said was that any new Gremlins movie would naturally be CGI, which would make it a far different animal than the originals. Those movies were defined by the limitations of what was possible to do with the puppets. CGI Gremlins would have no limitations, which is why I think they've never been able to get a handle on a story for another one. -
but think I've fucked it up. Can someone have a look and tell me if the pictures of the freak and the shower scene came out- my shitty computer won't read them. http://www.mymavra.com/apps/blog/show/1176757-jarv-s-schlock-vault-the-funhouse

Just looked and two photos haven't popped up. Don't know if it is my end or on your end.
-
the last two didn't come out...just little boxes with red xs. The final poster image (geez, that's nasty looking) is there but the two pics you were worried about aren't there--at least not on my computer.
I remember enjoying this movie, but as a craptastic b-flick, not something top drawer and not something from the "director" of Poltergeist.
I did enjoy the fact the film wasn't overly gruesome and creepier than most things.
Fun fact, our favorite douche of the horror literary world, Dean Kuuntz, wrote the film adaptation novel of this one and added in alot of devil worship stuff. Odd.
Wall-E's humans work because they are part of the setting and set-up for Wall-E and Eva, and I think they work perfectly for that. The movie needed a second act momentum, and there is no little irony to this robot trying to get the girl while inadvertently triggering the salvation of humanity, who haven sank into the lazy marsh they mired themselves in. -
I think I've fixed it now.
-
regarding funhouse....he has some serious issues. I imagine that his home is just walls and walls of assorted animal scrotums strung with christmas lights.
-
A kind of modern CAT & THE CANARY, MYSTERY OF THE HOUSE OF WAX or THE BAT. It had all the classic horror elements: creepy location, deranged and deformed killer, and the victims getting picked off one-by-one.
I don't think it is a great movie, it works really effectively at what it is trying to do. And the sad fact is that type of completely entertaining and competent American horror movie is now dead and gone, replaced by the Rob Zombie/Eli Roth-style of gonzo horror. -
That story you posted is as unkoser as a ham and lobster sanwhich.
-
exist. Talentless fuck. Stupid Google images. The picture I really wanted was the freak getting crushed in the cogs. It is a fun B-movie, but the 2 scenes I separated out where of actual talent. Not B-movie. It's a good film.

a great movie. I was kinder to it when I found that roth quote than I was originally going to be. The hack

2for2true finally named checked you in the other Twitch TB. Congradulations.

I want to say in an interview:
I'm talking with Lionsgate about that one. Hostel is a movie where the first third is interesting. They set up these great characters and possible scenario and then they pay off none of them. You have these Americans blithely in Europe, without a care in the word, not giving a shit except getting laid. And then it's all about this weird torture porn club thing. It should be a metaphor for how America treats foreign prisoners and our disregard for civil and human rights, and have these kids abducted for appearantly no reason (or no legitimate reason) and tortured for what George Orwell said, the point of torture is torture. A smart remake could be really provocative. Have Americans see what it is like to renditioned, kept somewhere without any charges or for who knows what reasons, and then be continuously tortured and abused, even killed, because I think it will make a very dumb film at least try to be smart. That's the stuff I want to do in a remake of Hostel." Continentalop, 12th June 2009.

lmost everything that person said in that article was BS. You hit the the nail on head with the biggest problem. It never spoke about other Marines. Jesus there was so much wrong in that story.
-
The military details are all accurate right? I mean the technical terms and all that...it seems people think the way he got into Iraq sounds fake. But I dunno-- just assuming its not real based on the "Kill people" thing? I don't know about snipers but I knew two guys that signed up specifically to go to Iraq and "Kill people" and they proudly stated so. I ran into one a few years back at a reunion party of sorts and he was standing there telling explicit details of various killing as if it were a fucking video game. "So this guy is bleeding all over the fucking place....."
-
Almost all the "detail" he provided was wrong. I have just a moment before I go back to work but here's a quick example that I remember without rereadingThe guy was algeding that he was in in operation around the tigris, he said the Infantry was on the radio screaming for the snipers on the radio, shooters are seperated from the comnet. The spotter handles commo. Also Marine Corps teams are almost always 2 man operations very rarely 3 man jobs. Never 4 or 5 man affairs. That's Army doctrin.
-
The main job of Snipers isn't killing people. It's recon and security.
-
Jun 12, 2009 12:50:14 PM CDT
Oh....I see. Well without knowing technical details...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....the average reader doesn't pick that up. I'm saying it doesn't read fake. You know how some fake interviews or news reports are obviously bullshit and you instantly pick up on that. To me-- this sounded like a real person speaking.
-
Jun 12, 2009 12:50:58 PM CDT
he didn't say the main job of sniper is killing....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...he said thats what he wanted to do. That part is plausible.
-
Didn't know that about the Marine Corps sniper operations (regarding size of team).
-
Sorry I disagree. BS from start to finish. I was making the point that recon and security was the main job.
-
A lot of people in the armed services are dicks, just like in the real world. What got me was he didn't say anything about the other Marines out there. I have yet to read an interview with a sniper, and that includes Russian snipers, who didn't mention that they were saving their comrades lives when they took out the enemy, and that was one of their motivations.
-
I actually like Rob Zombie sense last 1/3 of Halloween. I know my opion about him is in short supply around here.

Well yeah-- obviously its a negative piece....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....meant to portray military as killers. That doesn't make this particular interview with this guy less accurate. Xiphos was pointing out the technical inaccuracies, and I believe him. But it doesn't read as being fake if you are unfamiliar with that stuff.
-
It reads pretty accurately, which is why I had to ask Xiphos. I am just pointing out why I flagged it in the first place for him. I am obviously not up-to-date on operating procedure as he is nor nearly as knowledgeable. My experience is very limited.
-
On one hand, he sounds like a really cool guy. On the other hand, he is David Bowie's son and I hate nepotism in the film world.
I am conflicted. I guess I will just have to give him the benefit of the doubt. -

I read an interview by both of them years ago (not together, separately). Gwenyth came across as this spoiled kid who has had everything handed to her on a silver platter, talking about how she doesn't take her business that seriously and how she doesn't care for a lot of her movies. Well of course not. When you put no effort into getting to the top because your Godfather is Steven Spielberg, obviously you don't but much emphasis on hard work.
But J-Lo, she might make shitty music and shitty movies, but that is what she wants to make. What do you expect, she has the taste of a poor Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx (Jenny from the Bronx). But at least she bust her ass and takes even her shitty music and movies seriously. -

Amen. And she got that fine ass caramel body. And that poon smells like baby powder. POOF.

That movie kicks ass. There was a period in high school where that was in regular rotation, just cause life is better when it's on. My favorite part is the introduction of Rumsfield with the guitar thrashing song and then they raise the flag in his front yard and he steps in the dog shit. Fucking classic. And I actually like Gremlins 2 better than the first one. It's got some whacky subversive shit about the media in there and the whole thing is bursting at the seams with ideas and jokes and pretty much all of them work. I actually can't think of one that doesn't. I love that Clamp line at the end, "It's... it's Clamp corners... where life slows down to a crawl." and then, "We'll build the biggest, most sensational! - quietest little town anyone's ever seen."
-
....the biggest cock-munch in the music industry. Well not literally. That would be Pete Wentz....but figuratively. You know what I meant...
-
about The Burbs. Fuck it, the Burbs is worth it. That was before Tom Hanks became an "A"ctor. He used to be hilarious when he'd host SNL. "Is Sony guuuuts! Is Sony guts!"
-
Rumsfield is the best. Peeling off the fucking wallpaper. "You keep a horse in the house?"
-
Went to see it 3 times, each with different people, and every single time it was just as fun. It seems like you don't get that much anymore in big summer movies, like a really good time where you laugh, there's some action, some original moments... Die Hard and Gremlins 2 might seem diametrically opposed, but they have one thing in common - they're both a fun time at the movies, where you feel pretty wrung out afterwards. Even when something is being funny now, it's still taking a little too seriously. It's called 'tone'... and most filmmakers now are fucking tone deaf. My favorite part was when the film broke and you can see their silhouettes fucking around in the projection booth. Then they're making puppets on the screen and Hulk Hogan tells them to run the rest of the movie! How RANDOM is that? And BRILLIANT.
-
I hate how Hanks plays down some of those early movies. It drives me nuts... I don't give as hit, twenty years from now, I'll STILL be watching The Burbs and Bachelor Party and the stuff he did on SNL, but i don't know that I'll care as much about Philadelphia or even Saving Private Ryan. Those are good movies, but they're both trying, and those comedies he did have an effortlessness to them.Also, speaking of Joe Dante, doesn't he program some kind of film series here in Los Angeles? I remember reading about it on here but then forgot about it. Anyone go to the Aero or the New Beverly and can tell me what the parking/ticket situation is like for more popular movies? They've got E.T. and Close Encounters next Friday at the Aero.
-
To introduce some kind of new hybrid beasts that still feel faithful and respectful, and just as cool as the originals? I think so....
-
I could watch that movie again and again. I liked the Hangover, but it is no match when compared to Bachelor Party.

....
Indeed. It is one of the best comedies ever. Comedies today are far too slick. In Batchelor Party, it looks like an actual fucking party. It looks like they are really fucked up on coke, pills, pussy, and booze. And they feel like dickwad friends we all have. You just don't get that chemistry anymore. In every comedy the actors feel like.......actors. -
...and he's like half her height. He would get on a stool from behind and go digging for grouper.
-
The Cruiser has a pretty good track record of finding top notch beards: Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Katie Holmes.
Pretty good resume. -
I fucked a chick once who had seen Ski School in the theater. That's as close as I ever got to Hollywood.
-
Cruise unearths wet holes. Thats just what he does. For 25 years he's been on an unstoppable mission of poundage.
-
and comedy today... discuss. No, seriously, though, you are totally right. That movie felt like the cameras being around might have actually missed some of the truly batshit insane/sexually sick stuff that was going on. The gags (love the ass through the moon-roof... having him ask the couple to pick a nail out would have been even better, Ohhh NO, OH NO!, I ZING BITCHES!) don't come off as written, and half the time, they come out of left-field, as though everyone in the movie is trying to keep up with reality. Awesome movie. But... I digress... As for Funny People, am I the only one that's sick of this shit? I've been in a few conversations recently where everyone was acting like I'm crazy, and 'Oh no, this one is supposed to be dramatic.' I call bullshit. The only difference between this, Knocked Up, and 40 Year Old Virgin is the way they present the trailer. You could have made a dramatic section of the trailer for any one of those movies, even Virgin. It feels like this fucking kind of comedy is the only thing anyone is capable of nowadays. I was watching Eddie Murphy on biography the other night and he was talking about how nobody ever thinks of Coming To America as a black comedy the way people might think of Waiting to Exhale as a 'black film'. John Landis then came on and said, "I think this is a good thing." Then he was talking about Trading Places and how he liked that it was really about class in society. This is the kind of shit I don't think Apatow and friends could ever handle. It's always whiney, relationshippey bullshit, and the smart, funny, Jew saving the hot women from their alpha male husbands... I get it, it doesn't mean I have to like it, or that I don't feel like the characters are speaking in Apatow's voice rather than their own. What the hell happened to good comedy on a variety of subjects/premises?
-
Then on to the next. Miley Cyrus, you've been warned.

"GOOD MORNING NEW YORK!"
"FUCK YOU!" -
Jun 12, 2009 4:58:48 PM CDT
And I think you're right about the left-field shit....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Comedies today that revolve around a group of male friends feel far too cookie-cutter cliché, like 40 Year Old Virgin. It was for too witty, and right on cue convenient back and forths. There was no balls or spontaneity. Half the shit in Batchelor Party is that weird random shit that causes you to ask "What the fuck?" as you laugh your ass off. Its like watching people giggle about a dirty inside joke and its clear they share a bond and find the same weird shit funny. It captured that. Apatow, Old Schol and all that kinda modern shit-- I never believe any of these guys on screen could actually be friends. They look like people put together and standing next to each other and saying funny things. Thats it.
-
Those guys are like the comedy director gods, imo. Collectively, they made funny movies out of 1) the military (Stripes) 2) Family Vacations (National Lampoons) 3) Ghosts/Business Start-ups?! (Ghostbusters 4) College Frats (Animal House 5) Rich vs. Poor (Trading Places) 6) FUCKING GOLF! (Caddyshack) 7) Finding Love/Cinderella (Coming to America) 8) the musical (Blues Brothers)... I mean HOLY SHIT does that run the gamut of subjects, or what? I actually liked Virgin, but I do agree, the guys seem like funny actors thrown together, not like real buds. In real life, that group of guys hanging out would actually be a lot more awkward. Just taking another quick example besides Bachelor Party, in Stripes, Ramis and Murray seem like they're actually friends in the beginning of the movie. And Murray's relationship with that girlfriend who hates his Tito Puente albums and leaves him feels pretty real too. It's funny, but there's a verisimilitude to it as well. In recent comedies, there's always a suspension of disbelief element to the relationships that bothers me.
-
Fuck Tom "I'm a serious actor becasue I won some Oscars for mediocre shit" Hanks for distancing himself from the greatness that is Batchelor Party. I must have watched that movie a dozen times when it cmae out. I still watch it whenever I come across it on cable and laugh my ass of every single time. I fucking love that movie. Also Tom a double fuck you for never speaking about Bosom Buddies. You were better in that Spaslh, Volunteers and the 'Burbs then any of serious crap you did.
-
With all those movies, directors and actors you mention, you've got to give props to Matty Simmons. National Lampoon and Animal House started a lot of careers.
-
Are one area of films that have really suffered becuase of the timidity and down right fear that grip studios.Just compare todays comedy to all the great ones mentioned above. The are pale and weak at best compared to Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Batchelor Party, Porkey's etc.
-
Yeah of manginia.Okay no, not really, I don't think Tommy is gay. I just like to work the word "manginia" into conversation whenever possible.
-
Fun fact, did you know that Ginger Spice was Chev Chelios mum!!! Know you do.
-
Ben Stiller directed movies are comedy classic. Tropic Thunder was the funniest movie in years.
-
The royal dick is clean your Highness.
-
Glad you liked it. A lot of people around her surprisingly really liked it. I thought it would get shit on by everyone.
-
Did you see a different movie then I did? it was, as far as I remember, ok but I have a hard time recalling anything about it.
-
But then again I usually don't bother with them. I could probably quote 5 scenes from the movie off the top of my head. So far this year The Hangover is the only thing I've found remotely funny.
-
I thought they should have cast a real action star. Really wish Stiller would have cast Vin Diesel or The Stath in his role. Or maybe Paul Walker and then not tell him it was supposed to be a comedy.
-
Poultryguist with Lloyd Kaufman in the audience. I think he'll do a Q&A anyone got any good questions?
-
Suffers from terrible trailer syndrome. The trailer really makes it look like shit, like a bad rehash of the first one. Using the lame ass (cameo approved) Linkin Park song rather then getting Mike Patton to do something dumbest move you could make. Like I really had a hard time believing what I heard about it because the trailer made it look like a straight to VHS sequel.
-
First, I couldnt log in last night, then tonight I can, but there is two Twitches! What is going on?
Oh right, Harry is a stupid fat fuck. Never mind. -
with all the swearing, that's what made me want to see it. But yeah, the regular trailers made it look like crap, because its awesomeness comes from all the shut you cant put in a rated G trailer.
-
not shut. Stupid typo.
-
what he thinks of the japanese ripping off the Troma style for the Tokyo Police Gore and etc movies.
-
I'll ask that for sure.
-
Was still more of the same just with some fun bags. I think they had the same fucking song. They needed something a little more iconic.
-
I had a blast with it's awesome stupidity. Fun as hell movie.
-
I agree with whomever said they should have cast a real action star (Series, that was you, right?). Just imagine uber serious and pretentious as hell Vin Diesel in that roll, and that movie would have been ten times funnier.
And while the trailers and fake commercial in the beginning was just pure brilliance, the movie wasn't that good of send up on the arrogance and hubris of actors and Hollywood. Only Tom Hanks delivered in that part. -
Bachelor Party is on my mind.
-
Is everything American Pie wishes it was. The movie is as funny as any teen comedy ever made, but just as poignant as a drama and as real as a documentary.
Plus Pheobe Cates, need I say more? -
damn Kevin Kline should share a little! She's too good for him!

I've been taking many a long look, but it just wont do.
I reckon I could last longer than that surfer dude. And more than once. -
Felt real as hell. Good call.
-
Last American Virgin. God awful flick, but man that ending actually has pathos. I was amazed how fucking devastating and powerful it was - to bad it couldn't be stamped onto the end of a better movie.
-
But I do agree. They should have just switched Matthew Mcconaughey and Stiller's role that would have been awesome. Matt didn't know what to do with the agent role.
-
I need to see that.
-
I haven't thought about or seen that movie since it came out.
-
That guy needs to make more parodies. All he does now is the MTV movie awards and comedy central roast. He did the Matrix thing that was funny as shit that they put on the DVD's, see the brothers W due have a sense of humor. WHY haven't I watched Speed Racer since I bought it on the DVDS!!!
-
or any other movies until one of us brings it up?
Twitch is movie valhalla. -

by continentalop
Really, Stiller should have just sit that movie out and just focused on directing.
-
last week. More of a disagreement I suppose. But I was talking with one of the girls and at one point Scarface came up. I said it was overrated garbage, and she's all "How can you not love Scarface?" with my arguments being that I dont like Pacino and the hero is a disgusting drug dealer. Then she added more with the Godfather series, and I said that they're not necessarily bad but they bore me and I've no interest in them, and she's like "what's wrong with you?"
Now I understand that those movies are considered classic. But then, earlier in the conversation she was saying she enjoyed the recent Dragonball movie, and a month ago she and another girl were just totally raving over Zac Efron in 17 Again and how cool that movie is, and how they cant wait for the Twilight sequel. These younger women at work may be hot, but damn if I'd ever want to get involved with any of them. -
at least I dont think I have. I looked it up on IMDB, doesnt ring a bell.

Fred is very happy! Pittsburgh is two for two in sports championships! Fred's beloved Stillerz won Super Bowl and Pens won Stanley Cup. Now, if we can just get the Pirates over the hump!

Megan Fox: "I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded."
We'll see how she feels about that in five years when she's been replaced by the next crop of college-aged gals.
I mean, it's one thing to be realistic about hollywood, but empowered? Next they'll be telling us that getting raped is empowering, because it reminds you of how much you're wanted. FUCK'S SAKE.

Variations of that defense you are talking about has been used probably a hundred or so times and as far as I remember it's 0 for 100 thankfully.

That is why I am not a fan of Megan Fox or any of those flavor of the month girls. Fuck 'em (me literally, everyone else figuratively).
I would rather watch Kathy Bates or Dame Dench in a movie, anyways. I prefer to watch people with talent instead of just a pretty face.
Of course there are good-looking woman who can act - Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren in their day, and Kate Winslet, Hilary Swank and Anne Hathaway nowadays - and I do feel sorry for them when they have to face the double standard of getting older in Hollywood. But for tarts like Megan Fox, I can only say don't cry sexism when you get dumped for the younger model, because you've been living off it your entire career. -

And Lloyd Kaufman is a cool guy. He was out front before the movie signing autographs and taking pictures. I was last in line and right as I was about to talk to him the lady came in trying to pull him in for the movie and he said one second let me sign this. Put Series7 is a god. Lloyd Kaufman. There are few people who's career I'd want to have and I think I would love to have done what Lloyd's done in movies, he does what ever the fuck he wants and has a blast. Plus he's not a huge dick. The movie was fucking nuts. There were musical numbers and they weren't total crap. Between that and Crank 2 I don't know which one is crazier. ALSO ALSO I think it caped of a great week discussing Continentalop finger in ass situation just to see it HAPPEN IN THE FIRST SCENE OF THE MOVIE! And about 5 more time throughout it, only with bigger objects going in. I was howling about seeing that.

I loved that movie in high school don't think I've seen it since. On the list it goes.
-
Because they have been strangely absent of late.

They claim the movie is based on one of the producers actual Batchelor Party. I'm thinking since it occured in LA, sometime in the 70's or 80's, the claim might might be true or truish anyways.

I have a question: has anyone else seen DEATHLINE (aka RAW MEAT) or THE DEVIL RIDES OUT? And what do you think of them?

Jarv posts from work. He doesn't have internet at home.Droid/Giant Pig is on Holiday.Franklin T. Marmoset and ThereWolf seem to be posting less. Chipps, who's an Aussie, is an infrequent, but when loaded, a much welcome addition. Even when he's not lit up he's cool, but damn, when he is drunk it's some fun ass posts. He's the only person I've ever seen that can write words in a slurring manner like drunk talk.

is here. Watching the Twitch trailers & drinking cider.

Does it have to be just one? I like him as Dracula in most of the Hammer Films he did. Wickerman, 1941 and as Sherlock Holmes brother Mycroft I think. I'm too lazy to look it up.
-
Those movies rocked.
-
Didn't they have a horse in there? Tom Hanks when he was happy to be in slob-Hanks mode. Volunteers was another one like that, kinda fun.
-
The one with Sean Connery. I'd never heard of it until a few days ago and it looks incredibly badass. It isn't availabe on Netflix for some reason. Is it worth just buying? That trailer got to me.
-
I like 'em both. Death Line is good. It's also quite sad when you see the last cannibal survivor mourning family, it shifts your perspective.Likewise Devil Rides Out. Very atmospheric and superbly edited.Need to see them both again soon, pretty sure I've got them on ye olde VHS tape.
-
Basically High Noon in outer Space. If you ever saw Cheers, Cliff Claven's Mom is in there too. I haven't seen it in ages, but it's pretty good.
-
She'll be forgotten as soon's the last Big Robots falls. Typical. She's at least candid about her acting--describes her performance in Transformers as 'Awful', but-well she's one of those actors best reviewed w/ the mute button on I think. Anyways.

by odo19
on Netflix or something. Peter Boyle looks glorious as the villain. Always thought he looked like a smug evil little creep. Glad someone else thought so too. Seeing him in the trailer is what really sold it for me.
-
Like mentioned above it's High Noon in a space station but it's pretty well done.
-
That's funny.

DEATHLINE was just too boring, and THE DEVIL RIDES OUT was just to safe (weakest orgy scene ever).
But the reason I brought them up is that Lee is so awesome in both. For a guy famous for playing villains, he was just awesome as the heroic Duc de Richleau. The guy was like the Edwardian predecessor to Fox Mulder - but even tougher. He's fighting a Satanic cult that can actually summon demons and use magic, and doesn't seem scared at all. Wish they did more (and better) movies with that character.
And DEATHLINE I hated, but that movie is worth seeing just for the one scene that Lee is in. He plays an aristocratic official who represents Britain's intelligence community, who confronts Donald Pleasances working class London detective. Fucking awesome scene, especially how both characters keep fake smiles on their faces and obviously fake politeness to each other (only to have Pleasance mouth "Fuck You" to Lee who keeps a straight face). I love that scene and could watch it over and over again. -
...see? Been awhile. I still think of the Mad magazine version by Jack Davis(?) to be honest. Sad I know.
-
Watched it for the first time tonight. I was really into it until the card game - then the movie came to a full stop. Didn't engage me again after that.Eva Green is very, very tidy.
-
THE PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES.
I got in an argument once with a guy who said he thought Lee was horrible because Mycroft in the books was fat. I said, who was supposed to have written those stories? Watson. Do you think maybe he described him that way because he was such an arrogant prick to Watson and Holmes, and that was the point of having him be thin and debonair? -
Just such a Horror star-studded affair. Movie was just missing Ingrid Pitt or Barbara Steele.
-
I think they're both underrated, meself! It's been a few years since I've seen those films and I'm ashamed to say I can't remember Lee's turn in Death Line at all. But you're right about him in Devil.
-
They're very formulaic and dated '40's things, but enjoyable. Gotta like how they moved'em up from the 1890's to WWII eh?
-

But that is what I like about those types of movies ThereWolf
by continentalop
Even when you don't like them, you can always find something about them that makes them worthwhile to see.
Plus, like I said, I am not going to criticize someone else's opinion of them. I like RACE WITH THE DEVIL for Pete's sake. -
Just wasn't a fan of when they moved them up. The ones set in the Victorian Era seem better to me (just like how season 1 of Wonder Woman set in WWII always seemed better than when they had her in the 70s).
-
I didn't like! It just felt laboured and the twist ending was a bit daft.
-
I admit to having a sneaking affection for that one. It's a pacy movie, never dull. Just one long chase, virtually.
-
I saw it as a kid though, and as a Hammer, AIP and Universal Horror fan even back then I looked at is just a treat for fans. Nothing deep, just a chance to see all your favorites together at long last.
Needed a GIANT PIG though. -
Jun 13, 2009 7:04:55 PM CDT
I swear to God RACE WITH THE DEVIL was copied by George Miller
by continentalop
When he did MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR. So much of that seems to be imitated (and I admit, improved upon) from similar scenes in RACE WITH THE DEVIL.
-
... it was top seeing them all together.Everything needs a GIANT PIG.
-
From '71, he was playing someone about 20 years older than he was at the time. One of the few(if only) movies Jack Lemmon directed. You gotta like that old car of his w/ the knock in the engine.
-
I love that movie so much. And have seen it soooo many times. There's always something new to notice because there's always some crazy shit going on in the background and tons of random references ("Paging Dr. Benway"). And of course, Harry Dean. Anybody know anything about the sequel Alex Cox is doing? I think it's done already, but I've heard almost nothing about it.
Ah, young Emilio, in his punk phase. What was the movie where he battles a video game? FEAR was on the soundtrack..... -
You've got a point there, actually. I never considered that until now. I haven't got Race so I can't go and watch it again for comparison.
-
I think that was in a movie called Nightmares - it was 4 short stories and Emilio was in one of them. I'm sure that's the video game battle.
-
I'm reading the Sherlock Holmes comics right now (written by Alan Moore's daughter, oddly enough). So far there's been a reference to Mycroft, but haven't seen him yet (it's only on issue 2).
I'm hoping for some diogenes club action. -
I would like to see that again.
For some reason. -
The first story about the woman who can't quit smoking and goes to the gas station was pretty good. I can't remember if the others hold up or not.
-
Why does that fact bother me?
-
There's an old documentary about Alan Moore that's really good. It's set up as him interrogating himself, and there's a great scene of him hanging out with and reading to his daughters (who are little kids at the time). He's pretty funny in it. No snake puppets to be seen.
It's on youtube. Very much pre-Lost Girls. Which I haven't read. -
Wiki'd Nightmares. It's directed by the guy who did The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. And Nightmares is apparently chock-full of famous people.
Strangely, all I remember is Emilio... -
Has made me thing of Pete Walker's FRIGHTMARE, a movie I have yet to see. It has long been on my list, but never have had the opportunity.
Anybody here ever see it? I have heard good things about it, but is it true? Is it worthwhile? -
I saw it and read what is was like a year ago and said I have to queue that! About a month later I finally moved it out of the 400's and rented it. And I really don't remember shit about it. I wish we did this movie count last year. I was watching a movie a day last year.
-
Like besides Mymavra and e-mail this is the only site I check daily. Other sites just bore me.
-
So I'm about 2/3s into Repo Man. It ok. And i find out that there is a sequel that just finished shooting done by the original director who's really done nothing else except Sid and Nancy and aided in writing the Script to Fear and I hate that movie but all college kids love it Vegas.
-
Proof that there are asexual people in the world.
-
Also did Straight to Hell (which gets a lot of shit, but I like it just fine), Walker (Ed Harris), and, more recently, Searchers 2.0.
I remember hearing that he got kicked off of Fear and Loathing because he wanted to do that silly "high water mark of the 60's" bit as a cartoon and Hunter didn't think he was taking it seriously enough. -
Do you like that movie? I need to see it again. Searchers 2.0, whats going on with that. Cox also brought Mars Attacks to the studios which eventually got pick up by Burton though he said both version were not true enough to the bubble gum they came from. Funny thing about Mars Attacks there is a new and used book store/comic shoppe I attend and my first time there they had this like box of mini Mars Attacks comics, like #'s 1 and 2 of like 50! I was like sweet a new mini serial Mars Attacks comic. When I got home found out that they were actually from like the 80s and I guess they just got the box, sucks because now I want the rest.
-
I just had my people over at Bing run some facts and they gave me this
In 1988, a company called Pocket Comics started to produce a series of tiny (3" x 4.5") comic books based on the 1962 Mars Attacks set. The mini-books elaborated on the original cards, and had a 6" x 4.5" reprint of the card in the middle pages. There was going to be 54 mini-comics in all, one book for each of the original cards. The first books sold well. However, low orders for subsequent books forced the company to decide to curtail production after the first 4 comics. SOOOOOO looks like I only got 2 more to Dog the Bounty Hunter down. -
Where such big fans of Mars Tim Burtons last good film Attacks (best Cameo ever FYE, TJ), because I just found out that the Martian Spy Girl sells for like $40 and I have here MIB! THATS RIGHT I HAVE THE MEN IN BLACK VERSION OF HER!
-
Repoman, the generic containers for products.

ha that's great. like the generic brands from pathmark, with the "no frills" packaging. love the stoner hippie parents giving his money away to the reverend's telethon. Classic.
-
Haven't seen it yet. Been trying to but no luck thus far.
Synopsis from the movie's website: Mel and Fred are two actors who spent their careers in American westerns. When they discover that legendary screenwriter Fritz Frobisher is appearing at a special screening in Monument Valley, they decide to take a road trip from Los Angeles to this legendary site of John Ford's westerns. Their purpose is to seek revenge on the eighty-six year old Frobisher for mistreating them on the filmset of the immortal oater, BUFFALO BILL VS. DOC HOLLIDAY. But before they can hit the road, they must convince Mel's beautiful daughter, Delilah, to come with them and provide her car. Ultimately, the fate of everyone depends on their knowledge of the maestro, Sergio Leone. -
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, can't say that I'm a big fan of that movie. There are some good things about it, but it's been awhile since i've seen it and i haven't felt compelled to watch it again. Definitely not Gilliam's finest hour.
I didn't think that Cox had anything to do with it in the end. I'd be interested to see the script he came up with. -
sound great. Too bad they didn't last. I hate when I get into a comic and then remember that they're only going to do 5 or 6 issues.
Have you read any Scourge of the Gods? Another 3-parter. Really good though. Romans vs. Huns, but with space battles. -
How can Romans and Huns fight space battles?

That's the magic of comics. It's basically history re-imagined as space opera.

Xiphos, I thought you were a student of military history
by continentalop
You never heard of the great Roman general Tiberius Ursicinus star fleet battling the Hun chief Alaric's horde of star fighters outside of Rigel-7? I thought everyone heard of that.
-
History is a lot better when you just make it up.
By the way, did you know Teddy Roosevelt once fought the Kaiser on top of a zepplin for the right to deflower Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the future Queen Mother? -
Did you know Shaka Zulu once fought a duel with William Wallace? Oh wait that happened on that Deadliest Warrior TV show inside of the computer, never mind.Did you know that on the drive towards Stalingrad General Von Paulus had to fight laser armed pygmys?
-
I liked that show up until they started having guys use gunpowder (Pirate vs Knight, when the Pirate pulled out a blunderbuss). Up until then I thought it was really cool.
The problem i have with the more modern fights (Spetsnaz vs. US Special Forces, IRA vs. Taliban) is it only takes the weapon into consideration, never the actually training or skill level of the soldier's. That is the thing about guns - anyone can fire them, but the skill level varies so much it can vastly change the outcome of a fire fight, especially if both sides are similarly armed. The show really isn't about the deadliest warrior as much as who is the best equipped.
Still, it is cool to see a Scottish claymore cleave through three prosthetic heads. -
Was a pretty entertaining show but I thought it really didn't make a whole lot of sense. You can't reduce combat to binary code. Plus some of the experts were cocksuckers the way they acted. I know they had a script to adhere to but it was annoying. Also, I thought pitting fighters armed with steel weapons against guys without the benifit of steel wasn't all that fair of a test.Lastly, you can't quantify the heart of a warrior. So much can happen in a fight, it's silly to think 1000 computer simulations can tell you anything. It Ain't the size of the dog in the fight but size of the fight in the dog, and iron and steel weapons. Those things carry the day.Firearms, I agree, the operator is paramountt but I will take a 1911 pattern pistol chamberd, in .45 ACP, over something like the MR-445 Varjag Heavy Pistol chamberd in .40 S&W. The .45 1911 is a better and more proven weapon design and cartridge. Plus I believe that American Armed Forces CQB training is superior other countries armed forces.No I'm not just rah rahing America. I actually look at training methods from around the world subjectively. It's been a job I've had before.
-
I actually picked Spetsnaz over the US Army SF. And not because I think they are superior, but just because I think their mission and purpose is not the same. While direct action is one of their primary missions, I don't think it is emphasized like it is with Spetsnaz. Spetsnaz are pretty much used for recon, house-to-house CQB, and kidnapping and assassinations like they did in Chechnya. I think they are a purely combat oriented.
SF functions are little more diverse (combat and unconventional warfare, CSAR, peacekeeping, intelligence and training and working with foreign troops as a force multiplier). Of course, I am not telling you anything you don't know, just giving my reasons why I would go with Spetsnaz. I thought it was a unfair and uneven match up.
I think the Rangers (even though the are more like an elite infantry than a real special forces), FORECON or SEALS would be a much better match for the Spetsnaz, What I really would love to see is how Spetsnaz, the cream of the Russian crop, would match up against our best: Delta Force, DEVGRU and especially against the SAD of the CIA (I actually here they are the toughest, but who knows that could just be bs). As good as they are, I don't think they would match the US here (although I might be willing to say that the British SAS and SBS and Canadian JTF2 is comparable to generally anything we have in SOF, just in a more limited number).
Of course I am completely talking out of my ass. WTF do I know about special forces? Zip (reminds me of a joke I will have to tell you later).
But I will say that Russia's H2H program is generally better than the US up until recently. SAMBO is a really good system. Although MCMAPS and MAC are pretty good from what I've seen. Pretty versatile and MAC has a good motivating system to get people to practice on their own (I was going to ask you before what you think of MCMAPS?).
Best H2H system is krav maga IMO. And not because of all the hype - I actually studied a watered-down version for almost three years (look out, I'm a Blue belt! Ooooh). But even I could see that even the watered down, civilian version is damn effective and easy to learn. You can see how it would be useful to the IDF.
Of course, I could also see why it is not very effective for our boys. The Israelis don't have the same ROE as we do or concern of civilian casualties and excessive force. -
When you are lecturing an active Marine with shit loads of experience about special forces and H2H combat systems used by the worlds militaries. Sure sign I should go to bed or just talk about movies.

spetsnaz do seem to be about the killing, a shame they don't
by ironic_name
do more strategic thinking, ehich is weird coming from me since spandau belly, caruso stalker and myself have created a russian trooper who will shoot a hostage to kill a badguy if nessissary and who would make rambo weep, but real russian special forces and spetsnaz are pretty crap at ending a situation without civillian casualties.
or maybe its just that eastern counties can't afford good spin, remember that private jessica chick that the u.s. army 'rescued'? years later and there isn't any real admitting that she was treated after an IED 86ed her jeep, compare that to, say Belsan and the Dubrovka theatre. that said: http://tinyurl.com/5hhg2q -

Sorry I wasn't as clear as I should have have been in the last post. That's what I get for writing it when half asleep and none to bright. When I was refering to CQB I meant the general programs and not specific ones taught to the various US special operation forces. I commend you on your ability remember acronyms. I can barely remember any when well rested and sober let alone drunk or tired. I like MCMAP its flexible, effecient and an improvement over LINE the system it replaced. LINE was excellent but it was developed in a different era for the Marine Corps when it had far different objectives it wanted to accomplish. I think of MCMAP as the start of the Gun Kata because that makes me smile.
-
The first 3/4 is brilliant. I was sure it would be nominated for Best Picture. The end is still enjoyable but gets a little melodramatic and soap operaish......sorta ruined it a little. Its still a damn fine film because of the perfection of everything that comes before.

I've been wanting to see that forever, well at least like 2 weeks. I ran it up the flag pole a while ago and no one wanted to salute it. I thought no one cared. You go to some advance screening? Was the FFC in the audience? You seen Youth Without Youth?

Don't have high expectations, but that might be a good thing.

Wait until Black Dynamite comes out around September 4th. MJW is damn good in it and while a comedy he still kicks ass. He isn't pretending to be a blaxploitation hero, he IS a blaxpoitation hero!
-
I've had Vern's review of Black Dynamite tabed for like two weeks, and I just never got around to reading it. You worked on BD right? MJW was also in that silly Batman Movie, too bad no one saw it.
-
It isn't like it is a big name movie or anything. And I only mentioned it so I can plug it.
And I think MJW should have been cast as Rhodes in Iron Man. -
Re: Scourge of the Gods....It is 6 bucks, but the quality's so good, and the issues so substantial (lengthwise) that buying one issue is more or less equivalent to buying 2 issues for $3 each. It's definitely worth it. Takes way longer to read a single issue than with most comics these days (a good thing, I think).

Like "Awwwwwwwww fuck," but without the fuck. And then he stands up shaking his head and leaves without coming back. Hilarious. I was laughing the whole way home about that.

From the trailer I could tell that it would look good, but I couldn't tell if the story would be fucking annoying or not.

It can be any day now...And the Tetro story is not annoying at all. I know what you mean-- it looks like it could easily turn into pretentious experimental dogshit, but it doesn't. Most of it is very tightly written family drama stuff. The acting, photography and score are all fantastic. My only issues were with the end. Interested to see how people feel about it.

Mostly Moon, but they're both only playing in LA. I'm debating whether or not I should take some friends down there to see them or just wait for the dvds.

Is only in 2 theaters. Moon doesn't get within a state of me till July.

I don't know why I never thought about that, but that's perfect. Terrance would have been good to, Pussy Cheadle hell no.
-
Blitz, yeah I've been wanting to pick it up. But I missed the first issue, and only recently found a store that had all three. It looks so good that I think I'll want to read it a couple of times and show it to people so I figured I'd just wait for the trade. Plus the copys that had weren't in the greatest condition.
-
Now that I know MJW is in it, its become one of my most anticipated. He is by far one of my favorite actors, including his role in Toxie 2. He's such a bad ass, Undisputed 2 was such an awesome movie. I've never understood why he couldn't get more roles.
-
I've read very little Iron Man, but Rhodes struck me as kind of, er, puss. I remember an issue where he was all into listening to Whitney Houston on his walkman.
I could see Cheadle being into Whitney. -

Joss Whedon free Buffy movie. They really don't care or give a shit do they? Now I'm not saying a Whedon free Buffy can't work, but seeing that the only way that movie has at making money is if they plaster Whedon's name all over it, otherwise he's fans won't even give it Serenity money.
-
Serenity banked a whopping 25 million domestic. Dollhouse is barely hanging on for life. Its not like his name is gold. Even if he were involved, no Gellar = NO FUCKIN' DICE. All they gotta do is hire some big titted female in the lead and blast Linkin Fuckin' Park in the trailer and the masses shall come.
-
....because of Piper Perabo's fine ass. Jesus Christ I would punch my mom in the face for a chance to run my tongue from her pubis to her armpit.
-
Well that means a non Whedon buffy would bank nothing then. Who's going to see a Whedon movie besides Whedon fans, that is what I was getting at.
-
Has a mad camel toe in that movie.
-
Make it look much different with some Megan Foxish hizoh in the lead-- some hot hip guy, make it more 90210ish, poppy music in the trailer, cater more towards the teen girls. It could do very well if they marketed it right. The demographic financing films (teens) would swallow. Honestly, its probably more financially advantageous for them to go in a completely different direction than to try to make it Whedonish.
-
market it toward the Twilight Teen crowd(trust me, they'd eat it up. They need their vampire fix) and just slap Whedon's name on as a producer and bingo!!. Money in the bank.

so nearly mint. So very, very close. However, at the end of the day- too much Australia not enough GIANT PIG.

reasonably entertaining nonsense. The Rock and Stiffler is a weird partnership.

I want to take the piss out of Droid for australia being dumped out of the 20/20 world cup and England with a chance at the semis and he isn't here. Pah.
-
is right in the gutter at the moment. There's just utter shit out. Last great comedy was probably Team America. On TV, however, Comedy is in great shape.
-
His earlier work was much better than the mediocre/ outright shit oscar bait he does now. Same goes for Diane Lane denying Streets of Fire or Jennifer Aniston denying Leprechaun. Humourless bitches.

who gives a fuck. Whedon or otherwise.

Only thing I've watched in over a week is...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
My Bloody Valentine, courtesy of Mymavra. Cheers for that, Mav! Watched about 30 minutes of it in 3D, until it started giving me a fucking headache. And the 3D was just poking stuff at you or camera shots through wire fencing to give it depth. A lot of fucking camera shots through wire fencing. Surely there are other 3D gimmick shots. The movie itself was ok. Standard slasher fare. It's not particularly a genre I love. But it was ok. It was gory, but not torture porn gory. And the payoff is pretty obvious. Not enough red herrings. Characters weren't established clearly enough, especially the initial killings, before the standard "10 years later". Overall, not terrible, but nowhere near a classic.
-

I went away for a week and he went and got a fucking work ethic? I call bullshit on that!
-
There is a distinct lack of GIANT PIG on the Twitch.
-
so it's "hit and giggle" or "mongoloid version of the game" when Australia suck at it, is it?
-
have you seen Razorback yet, you workshy Aussie git?
-
starring tony jaa and paddington bear.
-
I've told you before, I don't like 2020. Never have. If Australia was good at it, I would still dislike it. I'm sure if we were I'd gloat, but as it stands, we aren't, so I'll stand by my previous comments. But come on... THE NETHERLANDS!?!?! That sucks.
-
Tropic Thunder.
-
Haven't seen Razorback yet. I must rectify the situation.
-
Never has a team come up with such creative ways to destroy a fanbases' hopes and dreams....
-
A Bridge Too Far, which I made time for since I was itching to watch it. I just love that movie to death..from James Caan and Redford...to Elliot Gould. I just love it when we see Gould for the first time and it cuts in front when they are running to the bridge, only to see the Germans blow it up. Great, great movie, one that never loses its luster.Next was A Thin Red Line. I'll be in the minority of one here, but it's not a great movie for me. I really think it has to do with the parts where they delve into each soldier's thoughts, and sort of quasi flashbacks. For me, it didn't make each one of the soldiers more personable, or what me to like them. I just didn't care for these guys as much as I should. I do, however, like Nick Nolte's performance in this because I think it works quite well.
-
I laughed a lot at Walk Hard. I'm not sure if I would call it 'great', but it made me laugh. Tropic Thunder was not great. It was ok. Saved by Jack Black and The Cruiser. Downey Jr was gold in the trailer. But in the flick it played as a gimmick. Other than that, I'd be going back a fair way to find one that I thought was great.
-
I thought it was okay, but not hilarious.

Nolte and Koteas own The Thin Red Line

I think it's a great flick. I'll join the minority.
-
was just on a Law and Order CI the other night. Kind of weak.
-
two musicals this weekend. Started them both at 11. Dreamgirls and Poultrygist: Night of the Chicken Dead. One of them held my attention all the way through, one had a musical number with 6 topless chicks (none of them above a 6), one of them had their songs stuck in my head, one of them bored me to the point of almost falling asleep. Which one for which?
-
Hated it, but saw it when I was probably too young to understand it. Got it on the DVR to watch again.
-
Jun 15, 2009 8:41:43 AM CDT
Wait, is the minority to dislike TTRL?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Cause a lot of people I've talked to hate it. But those who like it, love it. At least that's how it's happened for me.
-
No, I think I'm in the minority on not loving it. I believe many in the CoC love A Thin Red Line.
-
We need more Decepticon testicles.
-
I almost want to change my screen name.
-
I don't hate it, I'm just not a fan. Ordinarily, I also don't give a fuck about 20/20, and was totally unsurprised to see England lose to the Netherlands (which is piss poor). It's just very funny to see Australia dumped out. I'm sure England will join them tonight.

by dannyglovers_dickblood
...overseas. And Up is #5 in most international markets? Damn. I never paid attention to Pixar's foreign numbers. Do other countries not give a shit about them?
-
Decepticon testicles.
-
The inner monologue of the characters isn't there to make you like them more necessarily. I think it just humanizes them and molds who they are, not even in relation to the war, but just in general. I like how Malick always said its a film about creation, not destruction.
-
Toy Story 1 + 2 and Cars, all other Pixar movies made more money overseas.

A notable moment occurs during the dementedly frenetic final act of Transformers 2. A robot-on-robot fracas is unfolding around Egypt’s Giza Necropolis, with Devastator, an especially massive mechanoid comprised of several construction vehicles, set on clawing its way to the peak of a pyramid. As it lumbers up the dusty colossus, a shot tilts up to its mid-section, revealing two wrecking balls dangling down. Yes, Michael Bay, the man who brought us cyber-micturition in this movie’s predecessor, has one-upped himself: Decepticon testicles.
-
And there really are fucking robot testicles? Holy shit. How do you justify that?

"This is a film that doesn’t know where to stop...."
by dannyglovers_dickblood
.....even comic-relief characters get their own comic-relief characters, like the offensively irritating Twins, who bicker in hip-hop slang, or Wheels, a turncoat Decepticon who for some reason talks like a ‘30s screen gangster."
-
Pre-production went slowly as Malick had a hard time making decisions. Weeks before filming began, Malick told Geisler and Roberdeau not to show up in Australia where the film was being made because George Stevens Jr. would be the on-location producer supporting line producer Grant Hill.[2] Malick told them that they had upset the studio for refusing to give up above-the-title production credit to Stevens. He did not tell them, however, that in 1996 he had a clause inserted in his contract barring the producers from the set.[3] Geisler and Roberdeau were mystified about this behavior with Geisler telling Entertainment Weekly, "I didn't think he was capable of betrayal of this magnitude".
-
Go make jokes there.
-
From what I remember, I just couldn't physically hear anything anyone said. Like they were all just mumbling, I had my TV turned to 11 and was sitting right next to the screen and just couldn't here shit.
-
...in Tetro. I don't really know anything about him other than he got his cock sucked on camera. But he's always seemed like a bit of a dry douche. He's kinda supposed to be the asshole, and he spends practically the entire film being pissed off, but I found him really familiar and likable and realistically older brotherly.
-
Jun 15, 2009 9:59:51 AM CDT
There's a shot in The Thin Red Line...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
that is as horrific and terrifying to me as any of Saving Private Ryan. It's when Nolte orders Koteas to send the men straight up the hill and there's a shot of a man up the front (i think it's Jared Leto) creeping through the long grass. It's complete silence except for the wind on the grass, and then it's just this THUCK sound and Leto gets sniped in the head. It fucking scared the shit out of me.
-
I don't see the brilliance in either A Thin Red Line or Wall-E.
-
I talked about that earlier. One thing that can be said about the two; there is really no film like Thin Red Line, but there are about 30 films pretty much the same as Wall-E.
-
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210120/
-
Danny, do you just backlash at anything Pixar? Do you like any of them?
-
Danny's childhood.
-
I don't think they have ever made anything truly memorable. Finding Nemo is one of the worst big budget animated films of all time IMO.I don't backlash against them....I thought Wall-E would be great originally.
-
Jun 15, 2009 10:17:34 AM CDT
I figured out what the last half of Wall-E feels like.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
It feels like those scenes are from the cheap straight to DVD sequel, or Disney channel cartoon. Like the Buzz Lightyear Space Adventures or whatever it was called. It feels like the formulaic poorly animated action in some lesser film that followed the brilliant and more dramatic original.
-
Jun 15, 2009 10:17:49 AM CDT
The only Pixar I haven't loved was Cars
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
and that includes Finding Nemo. Worst big budget flick of all time? That may be overdoing it a bit, even if you didn't like it. The Incredibles is one of the best flicks of this decade IMO.
-
.....not big budget in general. I can't think of a major animation studio release that was worse.
-
Toy Story is my favorite film is because it is the only revelutionary film to come out in my lifetime.
-
Jun 15, 2009 10:22:00 AM CDT

Jurassic Park is more revolutionary than Toy Story.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
Part 1 was fucking horrid so I shall never return. But still....Nemo was worse.
-
Shrek 3 above and beyond all else. Closely followed by Shrek 2. Closely followed by Shark Tale. Actually... FUCK DREAMWORKS ANIMATION.
-
It just revelutionized special effects.
-
Jun 15, 2009 10:26:50 AM CDT

Jaws > Jurassic Park in terms of influence
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Jaws set the trend and cinema has never been the same.
-
The Jazz Singer what ever the first 3-D movie was and first color and Encino Man.
-
FUCK! The only Pixar to come close is Nemo at 864. Thats fucking insane.
-
In the world of animation. Why do you think they didn't even try with Shrek 3.
-
Ian Mcshane for the next Star Trek villian. I think that would be pretty special.
-
Thats more than any Pixar films except Nemo. Even Kung Fu Panda made more than anything but Nemo-- and exactly the same as Incredible worldwide. Weird how people act like Pixar does so much better financially. I guess because Dreamworks has lower lows. -
Jun 15, 2009 10:43:27 AM CDT
Fuck Shrek. I would rather watch 75% of Pixar films.

I don't get the Kung Fu Panda love
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Maybe it's because I watched it after 6 months of people beating off over it, but I found it fucking banal. I had to watch it over two sitting just to finish it. And I usually like Jack Black. FUCK DREAMWORKS!
-
But I don't give a fuck about Kung Fu. And that Kill Bill song in the trailer really made my dick groan. Never again...
-
Has made some flops in the past. All of Pixar's stuff has been a hit. Dreamworks hand drawn stuff weren't all hits. Like Road To El Derodo/Spirt/Sinbad.
-
I like that film. Nolte as a grizzly bear was fucking awesome. And the Ben Folds Five score was more inventive than anything Pixar has done in the music department. -
Both had animated movies gross over 100 million in the same year (Rugrats and Prince of Egypt (which both sucked)). Making them the first companies to have an animated movie gross over 100 million besides Disney. I think Nickelodean got their first (Thanksgiving release, Christmas for Prince).
-
My favorite of theirs too, hate fucking Ben Folds. Pixar's music for Toy Story and Wall-E = brilliant.
-
Whatever his name is. I really like his stuff when I'm in the theater, but forget it by the time I'm home.
-
Is that the one with Bruce Willis as a raccoon or something? That was okay. Ice Age was rubbish. But I quite liked Robots. The only really good animated flicks Dreamworks has been associated with are Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit, which both kick ass. Especially Chicken Run.
-
Really enjoyed those. Since 98, Dreamworks has made 19 films. Pixar has made 10. We'll see if Pixar doesn't have some failures with 9 more films. Dreamworks lowest grossing CG film was Antz, with 171 worldwide. This is fun!
-
Hated it, so boring, don't get the love. Love W & G, own them all.
-
Jun 15, 2009 11:00:09 AM CDT
Ice Age and Robots are Blue Sky, not Dreamworks.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
Made more then Antz? I loved Antz.
-
And I like Ice Age 1. Never saw 2....3 looks really cool though. I agree that Robots is fucking garbage.
-
Blue Sky. Really liked, much better then it looked. Really funny as well.
-
El Dorado -- 76Sinbad -- 80 Spirit -- 122
-
In Robots. I was flying a lot when this movie was out and saw it probably 10 times on different flights.
-
I like Blue Sky's animation style though. They go for more of an abstract caricature look of characters.
-
And while its an enjoyable film, it just doesn't excite me. Just a dull movie all the way through.
-
That looked kinda cool in the trailer. Vanguard Animation.....those poor fucks.
-
Looky loo. I thought it would be terrible, and i really enjoyed it.
-
Jun 15, 2009 11:07:23 AM CDT
At first I thought 'Flying' was some drug term....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....like blazing or something. When you said " I was flying a lot when this movie was out and saw it probably 10 times," I was laughing for a second. Thought maybe that was hip word for dropping X or some shit.
-
The Any Bully. Turned it off after 10 minutes.
-
...annoyed the piss out of me in Robots.
-
I watched it based off of your recomendation Danny. Kept waiting for it to get good or fun or funny and it never did. That movie went no where.
-
With a few cool scenes but just didn't go anywhere. Robin williams character too much like Martin Short from Treasue Planet which I like very much.
-
Must have been Over The Hedge I was talking about.....Open is the Ashton Kutcher one right? I've never seen that.
-
I really loved the look of that film. Very unique.
-
was TMN fuckin' T.
-
You mother fucker, you said Open Season. I sat through that crap, pissed my lady friend off because she hated it too. Well at least I can't fault you for liking it.
-
Fuck yeah. That fight scene in the rain, so awesome. Why MTV ingnored this is beyond me. Can't wait for the next one.
-
I have no memory whatsoever of ever seeing that. Did I go into detail? Maybe I meant Over The Hedge. -
And the guy seems pissed that I'm always typing instead of listining. Even though I'm the smartest in the group.
-
ever. Fucking hell. I honestly just want to fucking cry now.
-
...at a new job?!TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION
-
I figured since we are all using a generic log in is shouldn't matter what I do. Plus we get 15 minute breaks ever hour. Its fucking easy.
-
But I got lunch now for an hour and a half and I brought it today. Fucking going out eating at my paycheck that I don't have yet.
-
To find out where advance movie screenings are happening near you? I want to get some tickets to Bruno because I know they are out there.
-
Fuck me. Are you a stripper?
-
aside from where he was rebooted. Want to go home.
-
Three weeks of training?
-
Forgive me for saying, but I believe you need to go home and plow your wife gently.
-
..its all in the reflexes.
-
I don't get internet access.Nothing like being screamed at by almost total strangers all day for something that isn't your fault.
-
http://www.iwanttoseebruno.com/homepage.welcome.action I guess there are advance screening all over the British Isle.
-
As to HOW TO DO THE JOB i signed my soul to. They treat this place like its a school. I need to be smarter damnit, and get one of those learning companies to hire me. You know like Google, and for kids.
-
...and you fucking hate old people.
-
but I'm stuck here until far too late. If I wasn't skint, I'd be straight down the pub getting fucking annihilated in the hope f inducing a 24 hour blackout.
-
I can get tons of free advance screening tickets in the UK, at Tell Ten. Where is their American equivilant? Its like all I can find is Cadbury and Lucizade when all I want is Hersheys and Gatorade.
-
Fuck. I was gonna say go rub one out in the car to alleviate some pressure, but I remembered you walk. FUCK.
-
in the loo.
-
I'm fucking sick of his shitty one trick pony act. He stopped being funny when he started making films. Each fucking character is a one-note piece of shit and the fucker has nothing to say aside from taking the piss out of cretins. It's fucking irritating because he's quite a good comic actor. Just no more- move on and grow the fuck up.
-
Applying for jobs. Is how all you hear now is that they are going to check your face book and myspace and that they should be professional. Well fuck, I guess I'm no longer allowed to have a life.
-

I've tried to get him to rub one out in the loo....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...but he teaches at a school. I understand...it is a risk.
-
then I'd probably be fired then arrested.
-
I don't care if its a one trick pony. Destroyed in Seconds is the same thing over and over again and its the funniest TV show I've ever seen. The Apatow crew are one trick ponies, but at least SBC does some funny as shit things.
-
Mickey Rourke Iron Man 2: Die Boreder everywhere. Is it really that slow? This summer does suck. I remember last year, like EVERY weekend there was a must see film. Now its like lets sit on our asses until T2 comes out.
-
thank the lord. But co-incidentally I am stuck babysitting other fucking people's spawn due to a fucking sickness crisis among the staff which has left me the last one standing.
-
now. Ali G started on the 11 O'Clock show in the late 90's. I'm just tired of it, don't think it's particularly smart any more and don't want to see it again. It's always when something else dies on it's arse that he brings one of these characters back- there's no difference between them, they're all psuedo-outrageous crap picking on those too stupid to defend themselves. Fuck him.
-
Is the worst job in America. Lets make a bunch of shows about it then!
-
unfunny rude cunt.
-
I was a big fan of Ali G when it originally aired on HBO. Like so many, his schtick got old, and his films are a little too studio glossy for their own good. I mean obviously he wants to make some coin so he can fuck hot redheads that wouldn't piss on him otherwise. But I think both Borat and Bruno would have been far better as HBO specials. Someone mentioned in a review awhile back that Bruno just doesn't feel like the same character. I think he's right.....he feels very different than he did in the show. His accent is even a little off. And that whole showing up at awards shows as the character bit....fuck off with that. It was far better back in the HBO days when you wouldn't see Sacha anywhere. He was a mysterious figure. And if he did make an appearance it was always as Ali G. You didn't know if that was just an exaggerated version of himself or not. Its stupid to pop up at every award show and red carpet event as the character in the film you're promoting. He may think its dedication, but really its just fuck me in the ass self promotion. -
but this shit is old. And not even original. It's cunting storming now. I'm not walking home in that.
-
Is that when the rain has a milky consistency?
-
England are going to get knocked out because of the rain and it's been sunny up until about 15 minutes ago. Fuck.

Jun 15, 2009 12:06:14 PM CDT
Yeah. I respected him when he ended the show....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...and say it had run its course and too many people knew him now to pull it off. And then we get the 50/50 scripted films. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
-
Doesn't matter as I can't leave for a bit anyway. This is still humid as fuck as well.
-
Apperences, just for the fact that it allows for something funny to be included in an otherwise stupid show.
-
Couldn't agree more
-
fuck me. That's horrid.
-
I'm definitely not going home for a bit now.

It's like if you look at Pixar movies like Wall-E, actually I do think they have a slower pace, there's such richness in every frame."
-
What bullshit press whoring that shit was. He should be ashamed that Pixar claims he "Advised" them for a few weeks. Where the hell were those shots? I didn't see anything that looked remotely cinematic or well composed. Did Deakins advise the angle of the shot for the babies sliding around?

Friedman Suing Fox For Wrongful Termination, Scientology Blamed
by trannyformers_apologist
New York Daily News say Friedman was fired not because he encouraged people to run out and illegally download one of his employers' own movies(Wolverine), while that same employer at the same time chided other writers for doing the same. Instead they say he was fired as part of some big conspiracy spearheaded by Scientology. No I am not joking.

Friedman’s attorney Martin Garbus is further claiming that the leak of Wolverine onto the internet 30 days early, the leak which Friedman used for his illegal downloading, was actually all the fault of Rupert Murdoch to begin with. “Apparently, someone made another copy for themselves,” he says. That’s right, they’re claiming Rupert Murdoch pirated his company’s movie.
-
He's hung and uncut. And he is probably less of a corporate cum guzzler than Knowles.

I would give up my entire 401k to watch Friedman split Pinder in person, during a live 4 hour sex show.

Are they dating or something?

I think you are Friedman.

Needs more page threes.

For the first time again. Fucking love that movie.

...with that Star Wars voice over "SEE IT AGAIN, FOR THE FIRST TIME!"

with a lot of movies.

I like it more with every viewing.

They put off all morning.

I was over on the EW message boards and everyone was hating on her there, too. I understand why chicks would hate her. She's about as talented an actress as Jessica Alba, another flavor of the month It Girl who gets by on her looks and yet JA gets nowhere near all the hate MF does. Is it the fact she's fucking Brian Austin Green? Because I know that's something I'd rather not be thinking about when I'm checking out her ass in T:RotF.
-
So much of that movie is brilliant, including the voice over showing the thought processes of people in war (favorite VO was the guy saying he just killed a man, and killing is even worse than rape).
But the one flaw in the film to me was Malick's obsession with nature and philosophy and I thought the film at times moved to far away from the men fighting, and became kind of distant and removed. It felt to much like an intellectual exorcise to me. I don't want it to be dumb, but I do want it to be gripping and visceral.
I don't really like Saving Private Ryan, but one thing I do give credit to Spielberg is that he had you emotionally invested in the characters. I wish Malick had done a little more of that, instead of making his so hard for you to feel involved. -
Not a great movie, but pretty funny, especially the dogs. I actually wish they had more dogs.
And I am the opposite of Series, I love old people. I would rather see Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman fighting crime than Bale (yes, I am now a heretic). -

-
Its because her penis is bigger then mine.
-
I don't even think she has testicles, and even if she did and could hide the candy good I would nail her.
I don't hate Megan Fox, but I HATE her acting, or complete lack of talent. I don't see the point of giving someone a free pass just because they are hot. Fuck that. -
I knew she had contempt for those sycophantic guys who love her so, just by her constant wearing of spiderman or starwars tshirts. she doesn't like 'her' fans. and that was just her saying that she knows 'geeks' will see the movie she's in because now they think, what, they have chance with her? but then she recently confirmed that. just look for any interview she's done and she talks about how 'boys' are stupid.
-
I saw ponderland, it's a jack sparrow impersonator doing 'old english lady' accents that a 9 year old could do, and pulling a face like stephen hawking. flaming leg kick to him.

Thanks for posting my Thunder Rock 'review' on MyMavra. You're a star.I know you're pissed off with posting on AICN cos of the high nonce-count but I reckon you're fairly safe in the Twitch thread!

Megan Fox is the body of the month. Your wind-up fuckme doll, acting optional, etc. Rinse and repeat. Her worst line? "Are you like some kinda alien or something--?!" yeah that kinda hurt.. Jarv-Jarv needs a weekend in Spain. Make it so. I agree on the Borat guy, he just grates on me something fierce ala Steve Carrell and Jim Carey and Jack Black and Adam Sandler. GAG. Remember that old Tom Petty song 'Jamming Me'?! Add THEM into that list of stars he wants to 'take back!'. Indeed.
-
I'm just being mopey.I'm honestly trying to work myself out of it. For a smile, here's something from me to you. I don't really know who Megan Fox is, but I do know she is not in this. http://tinyurl.com/lm8ur6

Man do I ever disagree with the following statement you wrote:"I do give credit to Spielberg is that he had you emotionally invested in the characters."Of the roughly 650 reasons why I think SPR is a suck ass movie of epic, shitty proportions, the characters are among the top 5 reasons for the ultimate failure of that pile of shit.I thought every squad member was a recycled cliche from some bad 50's war movie. You had the southern sniper with a relgious bent that hated his job. The tough kid from Brooklynn with the heart of gold. The Jew out to prove something. Edward Burns, who's just a failure. Don't get me started on three chinned Tom Hanks. All the characters in SPR were created from archtype central in my opinion.TTRL, on the other hand, I thought most of the main characters and even some of the secondary characters were fleshed out, real and acted in ways that I could see myself or people I know acting.
-
There's more because I hit the button like a fool.Because the characters in TTRL felt genuine to me I was invested in them and thier troubles way more then I was in the weakly written, BS hollywoodized characters of SPR.
-
I never said the characters were great or realistic, I just said that Spielberg made you emotionally invested in them. I am not talking about the fact that they were cliched stereotypes (which they were) but the fact that Spielberg actually got you to know them and care about them at times.
And I did think think that the characters in ATRL were believable and well acted, I also feel that Malick tried to cram so many moments that we couldn't get to know them. I think one of the faults with Malicks film is that it has to big of canvas, and prevents you from being invested in some of the people (which has always been a fault in Malick movies, similar to Kubrick). And the one thing about a war movie (which is also strangely like a horror movie) is that unless you are invested in the characters you don't really care about their fate or their dilemma.
I still A THIN RED LINE is a much superior movie, but it just falls short for me. If I had to give stars, I would say out of 5 I would give 2½ for SPR (and 2 of those stars are for the opening) and 4 to 4 ½ for ATRL.
Now the BIG RED ONE I think would have been the best of the WWII movies if the studios didn't halve Fuller's budget, and then halve it again and constantly interfere in the making. -
is that it had to many stars in it. I think that was Malick's attempt at short hand so we could instantly recognize the characters, but personally I would have liked it better if he cast lesser known people in the movie. I love Nolte in it (he was awesome) but it was distracting that we kept seeing John Savage, John Cusack, Woody Harrelson, John Travolta and even George Clooney pop up in the movie like they were doing a cameo for ITS A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD.
But once again, I liked the movie. I just felt it fell a little short to being a true masterpiece. -
Just finished it. Meh, Mad Men lite. It really was the same thing. Trailer better then the movie. And I guess to sum up the movie, just don't listen to your wife? Well that puts me at 102, about 65 off based on the Julian date, don't think I'll catch up at this point.
-
The musical that I really liked Dreamgirls. Musical that had 6 topless chicks during one song, Poultrygist. Movie that made me bored Poultrygist. I really liked Dreamgirls. I never really saw anything about it, and I really enjoyed it. I think what did it for me was about half way through my lady friend said, "That guy looks a lot like Eddie Murphy". AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA for the rest of the movie.
-
And I love musicals. Beyonce is just a poisonous vat of precum and hair relaxer. Fuck that bitch. Eddie was awesome. I wanted to see an entire film about his character.

And why the fuck would Jennifer Pork-Chops win an Oscar...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...for that bullshit? Because she sang with emotion?! What the fuck? She sang with the same level of emotion as any final contestant on American Idol. So should the finalists be up for Emmy's ever year? Fuck you. How does it feel being an Oscar winner and playing Sarah Horse Face's assistant in Sex and the City? Hahahahaha. Gulp dick you sow! GOODNIGHT!
-
say it aint so. Xiphos is 100% right about SPR- I had no investment in any of those charicatures (they aren't characters). Not a fan, even if I don't hate Ed Burns as much as he does.
-
I really, really hate them.
-
SINGING IN THE RAIN, 42nd STREET, THE BAND WAGON, THE WIZARD OF OZ and ALL THAT JAZZ are all pretty awesome. But generally, it is one of my least favorite genres, especially in the modern era (where no one can really dance or sing and they just dub people or do quick cuts to make it look like someone is dancing - cheat).
-
The problem with Ed Burns is he constantly radiates "I am so cool" vibe in every movie he is in. I got news for you Burns, if you have to work at being cool you are not cool.
-
bizarre. I'm trying to think of musicals I like and I'm stuck on South Park.
-
forgot that. Good call.
-
Was in a discussion with some friends tonight about movie villains, and which ones are under appreciated and overlooked.
My nomination: Wings Hauser as Ramrod in VICE SQUARD. Awesome villain, awesome exploitation flick. He is also the greatest white pimp ever (even better than Kietel/Sport in TAXI DRIVER and Oldman/Drexl in TRUE ROMANCE) and the evilest pimp ever. And when you listen to the director commentary and hear what a pimp actual does, you realize what a sick bastard he is. -
I don't know if you have seen it but it is by Trey Parker.
-
I think I'll like it.
-
It's true! Has all the same ingredients, characters, etc. At least from my memory it's close. I liked Thin Red Line, the whole assault (Cusack) up the hill vs. the Japanese pillbox was quite well handled. You needed a more linear plot and better defined characters seemed to me in it, but I do admire it. He cut out gobs of roles-Adrien Brody anyone?-so-who knows what there is if he ever puts out the Mini-series version? Musical I liked. Hmmm. Besides Oz? As a kid I liked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. And Poppins. And Sound of Music. But my fave musical HAS to be King Kong Escapes-
-
Because-in it, King Kong-is Professional.
-
How's things?Poultrygeist did not make me bored at all. That was some top notch Troma right there.

Have I caught up with Jarv yet?

And that opens the door to me taking another run at The Thirteen Days Of Friday The Thirteenth - this time with 13 actual films to get through.I will not fail this time. No man of woman born will stop me from fulfilling my destiny. I will watch all 13 Friday 13th films over 13 days. Also, I may write an epic review for Mavra's site. Only the bravest souls will dare read it!

Something very fucked up is happening to my Lifeforce review
by lost jarv
Hmmm. I wonder if this is because of the big vampire spaceship picture. I shall replace it.
-
pah. I suck at this.
-
I remember seeing it on tv when I was very young and always being disappointed for that small stretch of time when Mathilda May became patrick stewart, or whatever happened. Saw it a few years ago...and it still holds up.
-
This didn't happen last time. Fuck's sake.
-
That bit is gold. Patrick Stewart trying to convince Railsback that he's really the epitomy of femininity is funny by definition.

Balls, I thought I was doing pretty well. I've made a real effort over the last 10 days, watching many films that I did not enjoy very much, and still I lag behind.Balls!

You can do that, easy.I'm struggling because I keep watching too many shit films and that puts me off ALL films for a while.I need to see something recent that's really good to get me back into the swing of things. Anyone got any suggestions?
-
This is just not happening for me.
-
which was good enough to remind me that I like watching films.
-
I used to really like Clive Barker when I was a wee lad, maybe I should give that one a go. I've been avoiding it becaise Barker adaptations are usually shit.
-
Watch The International.I actually watched Luhrmann's Australia over the weekend and it was much better than I expected.I need a barley sandwich for breakfast.
-
Okay, I'll keep an eye out for that one. Thanks, HOD. I liked Run Lola Run and Perfume, and I think The International is also by that Tom Tykwer guy.I just need to see more good films, and not just good films that were made in the 70s and 80s. New good films. I'm sure there must be some of those lying around somewhere for me to watch.
-
Spotted it on a friends shelf and had to borrow it. I don't imagine it will be good, but I heard it's proper dumb.
-
Cheers, all. I have to go and watch Nicolas Cage chase around after crazy clues and whatnot.
-
Is good- because of Vinny. And that's a sentence I never thought I'd type. The last act is a bit confused, but it's very good up until then.
-
How's it going?
-
and enjoyed it as well. Awesome Ted Raimi death.
-
= The Rundown for you non blimys.
-
Ok, only 2 really funny jokes. The rock to see how deep it is, and Matt's hair. The Snowman song was pretty good.
-
Ramrod is a nasty ass motherfucker.
-
Need to make more movies, South Park sucks hard now. They need to just give writing duties to Vernon Chatman (Wondershowzen/Xavier voice of Towlie) and just see how crazy he'll make it.

Got some life changing stuff to deal with this weekend.I have a feeling the Midnight Meat Train would make me nauseous so I'll avoid it even if it's good.Some pricks brought in some nasty foul smelling shit in a cooker today and every time someone opens the lid the whole office reeks of ass.
-
Babel (2006) - Adriana Barraza
Babel (2006) - Rinko Kikuchi
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) - Abigail Breslin
Notes on a Scandal (2006) - Cate Blanchett I hate all those people more then Hudson. Her singing is better then their acting. But I do agree I wanted a whole movie based on that guy that looked like Eddie Murphy, rated R too. Anyone seen the trailer for The Nine?
-
I will put it up again when I get on the good computer. How annoying. And sorry Frank, I had to delete your comments.
-
Some dirty bastard bought a curry in to our office. That's foul at lunchtime. MMT isn't actually nauseating- I was surprised. It's just kind of brutal. I have to give them kudos for not being torture porn
-
I liked in 15 minutes. I liked that movie, didn't understand that hate. Even if Moriarty said that and Series 7 are part of the 20 hours he wants back from 2001. Fucker.
-
Isn't boring. In fact its probably Troma's best. I guess I just wasn't in the mood. Its funny as shit, but a bad musical is a bad musical and some of the music was forced, it was great for Troma sub par for everything else.
-
he can fuck off.

Abigail Breslin was a better actor than Pork Chop....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...when she was a fucking fetus. Every single person mentioned destroyed Jennifer on screen. That was one of the most shameful Oscar wins of all time. And yes...its worse than Gwyneth for Shakespeare In Love. At least Gwyneth was doing something different than what she already does every fucking day. Its like giving an Oscar to a school janitor that gets a role in a film playing a school janitor. Fuck that.
Its okay-- Jennifer got her little pity rags to riches award. She'll go away soon. And eventually she'll end up doing Christian Soul! -
Just watched it last night. Mostly boring with one really good but ridiculous action sequence. Have to completely agree with Harry about this one. Clive Owen and Naomi Watts give great performances, but the film itself is just blah. The ending is a serious disappointment, as well. Overall, I'd give it a 4.5/10.
-
Best Original Screenplay for Diablo Cody was the most shameful Oscar win of all time!
-
Diablo is annoying as fuck. But at least she tried something a little different. Jennifer showed up, sang, got dramatic and screamed a few times, and fucking ate. Thats it.
-
Jun 16, 2009 10:04:16 AM CDT
I fucking love that scumbag Matthew Knowles.....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....Beyonce's pimp/father. His reaction to Beyonce not winning a Golden Globe was classic! "Today is Martin Luther King's birthday and it saddens me to say that things have not changed for blacks. Working class blacks and blacks in Hollywood are still being discriminated against. We still have a long way to go."
-
...is that night Jennifer Hudson won, Eddie Murphy won, and Forrest Whitaker won. I guess Matthew Knowles considers those motherfuckers white.
-
Eddie didn't win.
-
but you agree that Eddy Murphy and Forrest Whitaker deserved to win, so why do you think that Hudson's oscar was a sympathy vote?
-
did in raw and delerious. Nothing new.
-
that the only reason Halle Berry won her oscar was because she did a convincing nude scene with Billy Bob. Her performance is seriously overrated in Monster Balls.
-
....to think of all the reasons she sucked. But the fact that she will never have a lead role again, says something. I don't blame the film's suckage entirely on her. Beyonce is just as bad, and she is under some delusion that she actually can act. She always does that dramatic eyebrow lift bullshit like an acting coach told her it adds impact to her words. She comes off like a soulless lobotomized bitch in everything she does. She just can't help it. I think its impossible for her to be likable. Fuck both of those talentless twats. The film as a whole was just garbage all the way around. It was one big musical montage. The songs weren't memorable, the characters weren't likable. It was predictable, and felt like you had already seen this story a thousand times. -
...comparing Jennifer Hudson to Halle Berry? Please. Halle gets up, walks toward door and opens it, and her performance is better than Jennifer Hudson. Fuck.
-
For Babel, that directos worst. And the acting wasn't that great, especially the annoying deaf asian girl. Little Miss Sunshine was fine nothing special. Cate Blanchett is just not a good actress for me. I mean for Hudson who's never acted in a movie before she did a really good job, and her singing was pretty good to.
-
Beyonce Knowles Z character in Dreamgirls is that she actually does that in real life. I mean stealing songs from unknowns.
-
If your getting in bed with Billy Bob, you'll get an Oscar.
-
Other Nominees:
Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) - Renée Zellweger
In the Bedroom (2001) - Sissy Spacek
Iris (2001/I) - Judi Dench
Moulin Rouge! (2001) - Nicole Kidman Funny thing about Iris, directed by the same guy who did Notes on a Scandel. Kate Winslet was nominated for Best Supporting that year as well and lost. I wonder if that director holds any sort of gurges? Damn Marisa Tomei was nominated that year as well, give a girl an Oscar does she become Oscar bait for any decent movie she's in?
-
Was nominated for best director that year?
-
Has been nominated 4 times?
-
and probably never will so I'll have to take your word that she sucked. I'm certainly not defending her. But, are you saying that the only reason she won the oscar was because she was black? Or is it because Hollywood loves rags to riches stories. If the latter, than I think my comparison to Diablo Cody is fair. Stripper done good wins oscar.
-
Jun 16, 2009 10:49:44 AM CDT
I never once suggested its because she's black.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Where did you get that idea?I think they just loved the American Idol rags to riches story and becoming an AI winner, landing a film role and ascending straight to Oscar win was too good of a story to pass up. Its just soap opera overacting. The whole film. When people are sad they fucking sob. When they are angry. They scream.
-
Whether you like her style or her gimmicky backstory, or are annoyed by her appearance, thats another thing. But she can write. And I think she'll be around for awhile and will probably be nominated again. Jennifer will eventually disappear from acting after growing more and more frustrated that she can't land a substantial role after winning an Oscar. Years down the road she'll probably show up in the occasional holiday special, singing!
-
The whole film. When people are sad they fucking sob. When they are angry. They scream. I think your talking about Revolutionary Road.
-
Lars and the Real Girl? Micheal Clayton? Rataoullie? The Savages? See I think Hudson did a better job then the other girls nominated, D Blow didn't.
-
the problem I have is not with her but instead the fact that Juno was totally overrated and I understand that this was not her fault. But, you have to agree that it is ridiculous that Juno was even nominated for best picture. Such an injustice pisses me off just like the Jennifer Hudson injustice pisses you off. There were better original screenplays nominated that year and plenty more deserving that were not nominated.
-
I'm depressed enough. And I'm sick of that man-child Leo.
-
Beyonce Knowles Z was made Hudson look that much better.
-
Is Mad Man lite. It has the same plot as a show.
-
Couldn't remember what else was nominated that year.
-
Known popular name = Oscar agahinst unknowns.
-
Jun 16, 2009 11:07:58 AM CDT
thats true. Beyonce probably did make her look better.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
Looked white through most the movie, like they put makeup on her.
-
She uses it as cold cream.
-
....well he can, but the only thing that gets it up is punching a woman in the face. And he can't play like that while she's shooting, per Matthew Knowles.
-
you're forgetting something important- least deserving Oscar ever, especially when you take the competition into account: Tom Hanks- Forrest Gump.
-
Jun 16, 2009 11:14:08 AM CDT
No way....Hanks is more entertaining taking a dump....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...than Jennifer is. The accent alone is more than she could ever achieve.
-
that's a storming performance in a pretty mediocre film.
-
And I like Forrest Gump. Its like a box of chocolates.
-
No way in hell. Although I agree with you about how shit she was.
-
talking slowly was a better performance than Travolta in Pulp Fiction? That's madness.
-
Nobody's Fool (1994) - Paul Newman (I)
Pulp Fiction (1994) - John Travolta
The Madness of King George (1994) - Nigel Hawthorne
The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - Morgan Freeman (I)
-
Won for that role.
-
Johnny Deep for Ed Wood.
-
now I'm on a better computer.
-
But comparing Hanks to Travolta in Pulp....yes Hanks put in a better performance. He doesn't just talk slowly-- thats a difficult accent to maintain consistently. And it never slipped up. Not once. I don't like the film-- but I think he did well with the role. He has a lot of subtle emotion going on there. And the role is completely unlike him. He looks and moves like someone else. Travolta is Travolta in Pulp, just a tiny bit more Southern. But basically he and Samuel are reading cue cards.
-
Three Color: Red got nominated for best director.
-
that's why he won the oscar. Just like Sean Penn didn't go full on gay this year.
-
Deserves to get gang rapped for killing someone while drunk driving? Did he even go to prison?
-
Gump hate. I fucking love that movie. Hanks became that role. Wow Travolta playing a cool guy? HA HA HA HA Stayin Alive.
-
Hawthorne was superb.
-
But it more has to do with Jenny, and the pop culture cheese, and a bunch of story issues. Hanks delivered. And for someone that recognizable in that many films, its pretty impressive how you just see Forrest in that film....not Hanks.Yeah Travolta puts a little more pep in his swagger. What the fuck? Its basically the same character as Broken Arrow. -
is a voice in TS3. Awesome.
-
This is going to take ages. I have a new appreciation for Lady Mavra.
-
needs a trailer already ffs.
-
worst performances ever- and at the time, that Travolta performance was fresh- You're looking at it with Hindsight based on what he's done since.
-
the brit likes the brit.
-
....at the time I was in High School, and I thought his performance and the film as a whole was bland. I look back now...and I feel exactly the same. Saying lots of dialogue fast doesn't make a character or a film cool.
-
Fuck that fucking shitpile.
-
Really?
-
Jun 16, 2009 11:37:28 AM CDT
I think Travolta was far more cool in Look Who's Talking
by dannyglovers_dickblood
No joke. He played a realistic working class bad ass. It was a totally believable performance. You could see him as a cab driver. I can't see him as a hitman, no matter how hard he tries.

heres the deal...first off, that process of posting is a b**ch....second, use the indent in between paragraphs to bring back the spaces. Its the only surefire way I found to do something unless I jsut wrote the whole thing in the submission box to begin with.
-
I'm Canadian. Well, that is partial brit, the commonwealth still owns our asses.
-
In The Bedroom was really good though.
-
it's nothing to do with nationality- I mentioned him, because everyone else had been mentioned. All of those were better than Hanks.
-
Jarv is British and read that list of nominated actors and see if you can figure out without looking it up or reading what Jarv wrote who the British guy is.
-
I don't think Hanks was that great in Gump either. I've never been able to sit through the film in its entirety and I think it's because Hanks' performance is so off-putting to me. That said, it could be that I won't let myself get into the performance, which is the reason I don't appreciate it. That said, Hanks totally earned the oscar for Philadelphia.
-
Nancy Allen's hottest hour.
-
What? MY PISS IS BLUE!
-
No one mentioned Morgan Freeman? Star of the often considered snub for everything that year.
-
became the Morgan Template for his career.
-
He's nice and lovable....but he is the exact same in every damn film. Glory is his best performance. He should have gone up against Denzel for supporting actor and fucking won.
-
Phew.
-
funnily enough, I don't think that's that good a performance. I think Robbins was better in that film.
-
Agreed.
-
I've just got to post an apology to Frank for being a fuckhead and deleting his posts,

Respect.

Where I think the first Predator is utterly perfect for what it was, I hate what they did with the sequel. Paxton annoys the fuck out of me, and while I like Mr. Glover, no way in fucking hell he takes out a Predator. He would have gone down in 2 seconds in that meat packing warehouse.

...went on to direct Ghost and the Darkness. RESPECT. He should have used Glover in that as a Maasai warrior.

Beyonce is just Diana Ross all over for the 38th time. Whatever. I've always thought Jeff Fahey shoulda had a better career. Now Fahey-He's Professional.
-
It should go to the best performance. Not the most dramatic, or most humorous(which almost never happens anyway - which is a true shame). It should go to the best performance that leaves a lasting impression. She had an enormous task in front of her. Those too young to remember Jennifer Holidays Broadway performance or who never heard her version of the show stopping "..And I am telling you" can not appreciate the challenge that was in front of Hudson. Holiday literally, not figuratively stopped the show every night when she sang that song. A B'way show coming to a halt because of stellar performance is a rare thing. Hudson's performance of that song, and her legit acting chops propelled her to the win. No one I saw that year had a better overall performance. She deserved that Oscar.

I liked that con man movie he did with Bart Giamatti's kid and Rachel Weisz.I do however want to cave his face in and carve the smirk of his pretentious mug with a dull entrenching tool, but I don't hate him. I'm a lover not a fighter.

and amidst the Jennifer Hudson bashing, there's Jarv trying to post something on mymavra. So I go on mymavra and nothing. NOTHING! The site is now just one blank white page.

Maybe I'll give up the bakery gig too if I find something better. I briefly considered becoming a porn star but I really think I'm too old to get into that business. Too many crazed stalker/fans anyhow. They tie up my phone lines. Maybe I'll just join a cult. Or maybe I'll start my own...

That's were the money is. unfortunatly, Mavra, I've already called dibs on the new cult thing. I'm working on something for the mouth breathers that believe in UFOS and the remarkedly fucktarded 2012 BS.

The Unusuals just became the best god damn television show on the tele this side of Breaking Bad. Though they stole my idea and let the magic out of the bag early, the thought of me ever doing anything remotely related to television of movies gets further away with every hour. But they played the greatest hindi song ever created Tunak Tunak Tun by India's greatest Daler Mehndi during a chase scene. Awesome.

It was a fantastic day of updates on videobox.The girls are attractive, but they are foreign-- which always weirds me out because they don't speak. I think they tell them not to say anything in their native tongue, so they stay quiet....too quiet. They are silent. I hate that shit.

I'm currently suffering through the movie Fanboys and hating myself more and more every minute.

If he made a hard R movie, one where he didn't put on fat suits. Maybe played only one other character, it be a hit. People only want R rated Eddie. Everyone knows he's a weirdo.

Many people probably don't know, its Theme song was done by Blue Man Group and Holla Back Girl's Husband.

I was just watching Magnificent Ambersons on TCM....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....cool story, 30 years after the film was made Orson wanted to get the lead characters together to reshoot their scenes where they appear with age makeup, and then cut those into the film, so you are actually watching a 30 year time span in age. But he was never able to raise the funds to do it. :(
-
Oh man I haven't seen that in a long time but I remember thinking that it was like two different movies jammed together but it was pretty ok.
-
Mariska Hargity is smoking hot.
-
...I haven't seen it in probably 10 years. But the action kicked ass. And I like how Eddie busted some heads in that one.
-
Besides Twitch there is no TBs worth posting on - even the Bond one sucks. Is there not any movies being made or coming out that I can care enough about to make a wise ass comment?

I'll join one (or both) of your cults, if you don't mind.
by mavra chang
I've never liked being in management. I don't buy into the UFO stuff, but enough of Toadkiller's explosives to my noggin would probably make me susceptible to believing almost anything. A perfect cult drone. Hand me my Krishna robes and my tambourine and I'll be good to go. Or are these more of the survivalist-type cults? If so, I can be target practice.
-
to say when you are looking to rent a movie. Never ever say to yourself the following:"It can't be as bad as people say." Well I fucked the dog again with thinking that. Fanboys was fucking awful. Why do people think that Dan Fogler fuckwit and Danny Mcbride cocksucker have an ounce of skill or talent? Both of those numbnuts are screaming blackholes of suckage.The writer of Fanboys should be strangled to death using the funk infested man panties of Megan Fox for shitting out that abortion of a script.
-
Showtime. SOOO fucking bad, so bad.

...and it made like 23 bucks.

....I don't know why I compare them. They kinda look similar. I'm the only person on the planet that enjoyed Hollywood..

There you go, just have Eddie do a new stand up. Shit what that cost? 1 million? I thought Klumps did much better then what it did.

From Tremors, City Slickers and Mighty Joe Young..... now directing crappy rapper movies, In the Mix. Thank you Pluto Nash.

....I have seriously enjoyed almost every film he has ever made.....except Nutty Professors, Shreks, and haven't seen Meet Dave or Norbit. But other than those 7...hahaha.

But the guy gave us Tremors, we owe him something in return. Ight I'm out. Comic Reviews are ready if My Mavra is up tomorrow. Hope so!

Never cared too looked stupid. Also I've always wanted to see Meet Dave, for some reason that stupid trailer makes me laugh? Ight bed.
-
Thats for sure. I have strived to be more like his character in that for for 17 long years.
-
See that's where some Cults Like CUT, in Montana, gets it all wrong. You don't have to preach the survivalist mentality becasue it's counterintuitive to what you want to accomplish.If you preach your message correctly, to the halfwits, you either say that your CHOOSEN group will be left behind becasue YOU are pure or that YOU will be taken to a BETTEER place that is free of the nonbelievers.Going with the antigoverment/survivalist/armeggedon lunatics you attract an inherintly unstable crowd that are harder to control and are less passsive.Yes I've beeen researching in preparation of making myself millions of dollars exploiting nimrods.

Of course he liked that inflammed hemmeroid of a movie, thay made him out to be an asskicker.

There's perks with getting in early to teh cult. Same as getting an early jump on a pyramid scheme. Of course we don't call it that, It's more Trapazoidial in nature.

I just have no stomach for excessive brutality and gore nowadays. I just can't stand it when a scene looks like it was just shot for the gimmick of what ghastly effect you can do (like the POV of the head getting knocked off). Anytime a director shoots something because he thinks it will look "cool" I know I am not going to like the movie.
-
The killing doesn't start occcuring until nearly the very end when the dipsticks start to realize I might just be shucking and jiving them. That's when I will need to step my game up.
-
Gore doesn't usually bother me, but if I can guess the outcome of the movie in the first few minutes, it takes something extra in the effects or the acting to keep my interest.
-
So I was really surprised that I liked him in "He's Just Not That Into You" and "The Hangover."
-
Then they shouldn't figure you out at all. Drug 'em if you have to. They'll thank you for it and be less likely to be able to tell their families where to find you.

As long as I get a cool title (Like "Grand Purifier") and get several wives and virgins.
And none of that virgins in the afterlife BS. I want him here, while I am alive, in the compound. And they have to be over 18 (I am not a pederast). -
There was an episode of that show about ghouls and I couldn't help thinking that MMT was ripping that off somewhat. Might have just been that bad attitude of mine though. I was pretty set that I wasn't going to like it and I have a big stubborn streak.
-
Fuck, sorry.
I thought it was misbehaving. -
Fuck. I keep getting a cannot find server page. Fuck.

Of course you can have all that and more, those are the perks of getting in early. Unfortunantly, later on, I will have to denounce you as a heretic inorder to bond the sheep more tightly to me. It's nothing personal you understand, it's just good business.

See- I like it for Vinny Jones (who I usually think is a talentless troglodyte twatbag). I thought he was excellent. Even if the end was a bit predictable. Maybe I'm getting a bit numb, but I really didn't think it was that gorey- certainly wasn't Torture Porn (even if the head rolling shot was a bit excessive).
-
It wouldn't be unheard of for me to break something in a major way. Last summer I broke the entire database for where I work and it took a highly trained team of upper level special op nerds 8 weeks to fix it.

If they are maintaing the server does that mean that all the various tics and spasms might go away?

I, coincidentally, know of an ideal site for your cult. It's in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It comes complete with a purpose built temple and housing for your "priests" in the grounds. The temple is fully fitted with altar and blood pit ideally positioned below a big hole in the roof to let the moon in. Mrs. Jarv's brother owns it. He bought it for fuck all when the guy that built the cult went broke, and now he sells it to idiot Americans (his word) to set up their cult, then buys it back when they run out of money to sell to the next one. The locals in the nearest town (Which is tiny) just regard the cults as cretins. I've seen it- it's like something out of Silent Hill.He's got a whole career out of this.
-
It likely means that they have created brand new ones. That's typical. The entire thing is run by Gremlins. I only hope we don't lose things. They wiped out most of everyone's stored photos awhile back. I think I have backups of everything that's been sent to me, just in case.
-
Now that's a great career!

In the meantime, I will faithfully follow you until such time as I can usurp the role of Celestial Prophet from you.

I will begin sending you my paychecks on Friday for a spot in your trapezoid. Now I'm going to go to sleep and dream of a temple with a moon roof. Have a great day everyone.

there's an Ayatollahsexyback now. Jesus suffering fuck.
-
even if that photo of him crushing gazza's nuts always makes me laugh. He was born to play Mahogony in MMT- he doesn't have to say anything, just look like he likes to hurt people. I buy Vinny as that.
-
When you try and institiute your coup just make sure your first shot is a good one because if I get a chance well...Jarv, I believe I know that place you were talking about. I've been in that part of Brazil and I remember hearing something about it. I've read/heard somewhere that there are something in the neighborhood of like 300 plus cult compounds, both being used and abandoned, throughout central and South America. Argentinia has a bunch of them and most of them are Germanic in origin. Go figure right?
-
has been a useless, irritating cunt in everything i've seen him in. That said, I can only recall him being in Wedding Singers and He's just not that into you. I haven't seen The Hangover so maybe that will change my opinion. Doubt it. Just looking at him is like nails on a fucking chalkboard. I really hope that cunt doesn't get famous.
-
That would be Wedding Crashers. I need coffee before starting my early morning rants.
-
It's in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere- all that's around it is borderline rainforest and Eucalyptus plantations. Building a cult in South America totally makes sense- the weather's nice, it's mostly underpopulated outside of the big urban centres and no-one really gives a fuck what you do

that cunt gets killed in some sort of gruesomely brutal way. Then I might consider it. That's the only reason I watched House of Wax. To see Paris Hilton get slaughtered.
-
The state or subdivsion, or what ever the heck they are called there, that Minas Gerais is in had some real bad problems years ago. I think the cult compound might have been mentioned in a briefing or something. That's I how I heard of it I believe. I don't think it was so much the town as the state.Of course I could be very wrong and I'm thinking of some place else. It's been a very long time since of been in South America.You're right about down south. Pay the mordida down there, throw some jobs to the locals and don't be a complete jerk off there is so much you can get away with it's sort of staggering.

This is an idiot's dream built into the side of a hill- it isn't a compound because they were all about "free love" and it would be very hard to build a proper compound type thing, although were a suicide cult ran out of money. The temple itself sort of looks like an igloo. There's the temple at the top and then the various priest's houses (sans running water, natch) built on stilts out of the hill below it. It's about 2 acres worth of land. Still, where else are you going to get a purpose built temple? Minas Gerais is now the second most powerful state in Brazil according to Mrs. Jarv's father after Sao Paulo- as it has all the resources. I was surprised at that.

Would devil worship classify as cult?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I suppose they would. If that's the case then Rosemary's Baby. And that other Polanski one with Johnny Depp, which was a great book but a mediocre flick.
-
how can you be so cynical about maccas.
-
I love that movie. It's probably the last good movie Steve Martin did. Eddie Murphy deserved some sort of recognition for his work in that movie.The best part was the ass kicking Steve Martin delivered to the Scientology knuckleheads.
-
I've probably eaten there about 4 times in the past 10 years. Only a last resort when abysmally drunk. Fucking hate it.
-
For your schlock vault. You need to do series on the that almost forgotten exploitation genre hooker of the 80s - hooker movies: the awesome Vice Squad, Angel ("High School Student by Day, Hooker by Night"), Hollywood Vice Squad (directed by Penelope Spheeris and starring Carrie Fisher and Frank Gorshin), and Crimes of Passion (Kathleen Turner and Anthony "I''m playing an insane priest" Perkins).
You can even throw in 1990's Streets (with a young Christina Applegate and her perky boobs) -
What's macca mean? I'm not sure if I'm cynical about it or not.
-
mikky d's or some rubbish
-
In my top 10 comedies I reckon. Fucking brilliant. And yes, Eddie Murphy is genius in it. I have forgiven him so much absolute shit because of that flick. I agree about Steve Martin. I like him, but he's riding the goodwill from Bowfinger and his 80's stuff. Bowfinger and Planes, Trains are both in my top 10 comedies.
-
Hookersplotation films from the 80's rock. Vice Squad is brutal as hell but still watchable.
-
How did I forget them. There's always sort of a link between the film and it's predecessor, and I'm kind of just meandering down a path. Occasionally I get something dreadful and jump to another film like a kid with a comforter, but I definately want to do Hooker films. I've got Hollywood Chainsaw hookers on the way.
-
fucking brought the a game this week.
-
Okay now I understand. I guess that's Aussie for McD's. I'm with Droid I don't eat there, except for when the roll out the McRibb.McD's pissed me off years when they changed how they made thier French Fries, and ruined the taste, when some Hindus complained that the used beef fat to fry them. Plus the food sucks.
-
I haven't eaten one in years. I'd rather go to the pub and get something to eat there.
-
Is Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer. Gunnar Hansen, however, proves why he never had a big career after TCM.
-
i'll prob be back. i'm drinking goon so no promises.
-
Which movie had an underage street prostitute was being tortured with a Vaseline dipped soldering iron? Was that Vice Squad or Angel, or some other movie? I remember the scene, and so does my brother and a friend, but none of us can place the movie. Do you remember (I'm sure it is a hookerploitation flick)?
-
Fuck was Murphy good in that movie. He inhabited two seperate yet distinct characters, brilliantly. The scene in the diner when he tells everybody he's Kit's brother was fan-fucking-tastic.
-
Lovefilm are sending me the awesome double bill of Basket Case 2 and 3. Annoyingly they're sending it before they send Basket Case 1.
-
I'm in LA so I am spoiled. If I want fast food I can get In-N-Out or Fatburger.
Or better yet Chipotle Mexican Grill. -
I think that might have been in that George C. Scott one where his daughter was a hooker/porno actress and he was searching for her. If not then it was probably Angel. I'll go look up the name of that Scott movie.
-
Fucking Lovefilm. They're pretending they haven't heard of any of these. A trip into deepest darkest Camden may be in order for me at the weekend then.

An decent burger is easy to find
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But a really good one is difficult. The fact that GBK has about 10 on it's menu that are stonkingly good, especially the chicken, brie and cranberry, makes it my personal fav.
-
it's Ken Russel. Which means it's depraved (see also The Devils) but not low rent fun. He also made The Music Lovers, Whore and loads more just off the top of my head.
-
But you have to see it. It is pretty over the top, especially Perkins' performance (although it is still a great performance as only he can give).
-
That's the name of the movie came out in 1979.Conti don't forget Tommyburgers! Great Chili. Although thats more of a South LA county, OC San Diego chain. Have you ever eaten at the original Fatburger on La Cienga just south of the Beverly Center? That place is a trip.
-
smoking in cars now. Does it ever finish?
-
Now I look like an idjit for posting that.Ok if it wasn't Hardcore I would say it was Angel. Which really means it probably was Vice Squad because I'm dumb like that.

And work in venice so i have eaten at Tommyburger. Used to eat the Chili Burger and get the Chili cheese fries. It is one of the reasons I ballooned up to 286lbs.
I don't think I have eaten at the original Fatburger. My favorite burger place is the Apple Pan, not a fast food place but a greasy spoon dinner where you sit at the counter and they give you soda in paper-cup cylinders. -

It actually is probably something like the "Glitterdome"
by continentalop
Or "Cop."
Damn, I guess I will just have wait until Jarv sees them and he can tell me what film it is. -
I found a website that has Wing Hauser's theme song to VICE SQUAD, "Neon Slime."
http://tinyurl.com/lqt33o
You can download it or just preview it and listen to the greatest original theme song in the 80s. -
Not that he looked like him, but I think he could have captured him better than anyone (closeted homosexual with mother issues).
-
That's on the Westside right? Good Chow.Hmm, now that you mention Glitterdome, that could be it. I know the exact scene and I can play it in my head but damn if I know what movie its from.
-
for the film in the 80's. Me and Mrs. Jarv were watching something the other day that I've completely forgotten the name of that had an incredible theme tune. Is Dark Angel's an original composition? For a really funny one I encourage you to find Frankenfish. It's staggering.
-
Was the man! He did awesomely bad music, kick ass character work, even if it was always the same character almost everytime and he had the name. Man did Hauser ooze slimey from his pours. In reality I bet he was a stand up guy but he was great at playing scumbags.

My life will not be complete until I've seen this: "Armed with a high-tech and highly-lethal yo-yo, the beautiful young K (Aya Matsuura) goes undercover at the elite Seisen Academy to expose a deadly terrorist plot hatched by lesbian suicide bombers."That sounds superb.
-
I wish Celine Dion had been on the actual fucking titanic. Useless, talentless canuck dog that churns out music for fat moron housewives to have a cry to. She isn't even fit.
-
The Vice Squad DVD actually has some interesting commentary about Wings Hauser. The director mentions how he didn't want to get typecast and refused any parts where he plays a bad guy for a while (I guess until Soldier's Story) but the director says that all these big time directors, like Walter Hill, DePalma, Landis and Scorsese, were interested in him because of that movie. Who knows, if he was more willing to play a bad guy right off the bat, he might have ended up in some big budget movies and ended up a bigger name.
-
Was probably the last full decade of making balls out, fun movies with high rewatchability factor. sorry to say but nearly everything made in the 2000 is not going to be remembered at all. Yes that includes Joker: Guest starring the guy with the funny voice who should have been the star since the movie was named after him.

Really? I'm not a fan of either.
-
Is top notch.
-
i just got your curse.
-
Of course this isn't an absolute, but generally:
The 70s had all the great masterpieces (Godfather, Chinatown, Taxi Driver, Nashville, Clockwork Orange, Network, etc.)
The 80s had all the great balls to the wall action/sci-fi/and some genre movies (First Blood, Lethal Weapon, Aliens, Terminator, The Fly, Empire Strikes Back, Escape from New York, Fright Night, The Road Warrior, Blood Simple, Body Heat, etc.)
The early 90s had all the really interesting independent films and non-studio films, plus a little bit of a throw back to the 70s because the studios were trying to compete with the independent movement (Unforgiven, Schindler's List, Fargo, Reservoir Dogs Pulp Fiction, Usual Suspects, GoodFellas, Silence of the Lambs, Se7en, etc.)
What do we have now? The worst of each period - bad, pretentious and boring dramas of the 80s, inflated and stupid special effects movies of the 90s; and the concept of exploitation like in the 70s, but no instead of exploiting a heros skin color or having sex or red-necks or bikers or violence be the element in the film we are exploiting to get people to see it, we have high concept shit like super-heroploitation or remakeploitation using name recognition and a trend to get people to watch it.
Ugh. I hate to sound like the angry, bitter old man, but I do believe now is the worse period of American filmmaking that I can remember. -
As much as I'm disgusted to write that sentence, he did at least know he was shit and retired. Anyway, I'll take Astley over Jason fucking Donovan.

The problem with film these days
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Is that everything looks like something else. Look at that Transforminators trailer from a few weeks ago. If it wasn't for the colour schemes of the two flicks, the trailer would've been very convincing.
-
you forget fight club
-
is that if you make a list of 6 movies, that is less than one a year.
-
the dark knight. lotr. 99 was a good year. there was a lot of shit in the eighties.
-
an old lady was telling me a story about chips raferty. in her younger days she was a secetary at a firm where the boss was mates with chips. he'd come in 'g'day love, is the old man free??' one day she was walking up the street with her head down, as was he and he knocked her over and caught her. 'ow crikery' he said, and caught her falling into the drain 'aw giday dal are you alright?' 'yeah i'm fine are you ok?' 'bloody hell, she's apples love' and he walked off. that is how they used to speak down south. that is now restricted to the queensland out back. it is dying. droid, you need to occa yourself up son. take a page outa chips book.
-
... for US movies - maybe because the Studio System crashed and all those pot smokers were looking for something different and intense.
You could add to your (non-exhaustive) '70s list:
Mean Streets, The Godfather II, Badlands, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Conversation, Midnight Cowboy, All the President's Men, The Man Who Would Be King, Klute, Five Easy Pieces , The Last Picture Show, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Parallax View, Rosemary's Baby, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, The Night of the Living Dead, Star Wars, Deliverance, Close Encounters and - maybe best of all - Raging Bull.
The Lord of the Rings movies have had a huge influence, good and bad, on what we now see. The gross take - with DVD's - must be well over $5Billion by now and they were relatively cheap to make. Harry Potter has also made huge profits. Studios suddenly got REAL interested in Fantasy, Huge CGI epics.
The other huge moneyspinners have been 3D animation for little kids - I don't think Pixar & Disney have lost a cent on any of their 3D animations. Compare that to losses/ zero profit on 85% of mainstream studio movies.
There's a steady stream of routine, hit or miss Romantic Comedies and Gross-out teen comedies for the general market.
That leaves a relatively small fraction of studio movies and independents which try to emulate the best of the 1970s movies - most of which make very little profit.
Which is a shitty situation. -
Sean Penn has pulled out of The Three Stooges movie. Not that I really care. I never had much interest in the stooges and Penn was an odd choice.
-
and anthony lapaglia. good movie.
-
Nope, he had a complete nervous breakdown at the height of his fame and refused to tour. And are those Astley Albums you listed? I bet you own all of them don't you. Poof.
-
Mallrats I like, Axe Murderer I'm "meh" about. Mind you, I actually laughed at Dodgeball the other day- mostly when Justin Long was getting pelted with spanners.
-
You could go on and on listing great movies from the 70s - I was just giving a sample.
As for the 80s, not my favorite decade but I will say that for genre flicks it gave us a lot of classics or at least cult classics (which they are now remaking)
The 90s gave us the independent film movement, which opened the door for films to try new things. They weren't as experimental as the 70s, but they at least tried some bolder stories. Plus, from the independent movies movement you had an entire group of filmmakers try to get rid of chronological story-telling (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Usual Suspects. Go. Memento, etc.).
The late 90s and the early 21st century had some decent movies (the above mentioned Memento, The Matrix, LA Confidential, the rise of Pixar, Sixth Sense, LOTR series) but as time moved those films got less and less. Sure, there have been great movies (There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, TDK for some) but those are the exceptions that prove the rule.
And the reason there are so few good movies is the economy - as long as people feel that investing in a movie is a big risk, they will want to make sure their investment feels as safe as possible. So do you invest in a film that is unlike anything you have ever heard of, or a remake of some 80s horror flick or a sequel or a superhero film? -
Dodgeball was an enjoyable nothing of a movie.
-
there was a fuck load of goodness from the 80's- Blade Runner, Indiana Jones, Die Hard Most of Spielberg's best work, Most of Carpenters best work etc. There was also a load of dreck.
-
Some of it is really quite funny.
-
That plauges movies today, besides all the problems mentioned, is the absolute lack of leadership that gets sacrificed by the corporate mindset?What I mean by that is back in the 70's and 80's and into the early 90's you had a bunch of people willing to fight to get movies made. There was a whole slew of, I guess you would call them, "mavricks" for lack of a beter word. They had the clout and backbone to get a movie made and put there name on it, unlike today.I see this risk adverse atmosphere directly caused by the corporte mindest that hides behind meetings, and study groups and group think. Everybody is afraid and leadership is talked about in abstract terms but nobody really wants a strong leader around. Strong powerful people with the guts to take chances on movies can have messy consequnces for those around them. Fucking cowards. I hate the get along to go along mindset.
-
on the basis that bad 80's movies are at least fun.
-
I like this conversation.
-
Don't own them. You sound defensive. Have I hit a nerve?
-
as much as he's an arrogant cokehead fuck, you can't deny that Evans was good for paramount. And on that 70's list can I add The Exorcist, The Omen, French Connection, French Connection 2, and Alien.
-

Let's see if I can't address everything above.Best actor in 1994 should have gone to Johnny Depp. What Hanks did in Gump paled in comparison to what Depp did in Ed Wood. And he wasn't even nominated. I'll shit in my hand and rub it in the face of anyone who doesn't think that is one of the finest acting performances of all time.Dodgeball is hilarious. I know the guys who hate Stiller and Vaughn and the Apple kid will think it's a waste of a movie, but it's got hilarious one-liners and Rip Torn is genius.There are indeed a lot of crap movies today but every decade has it's share of garbage. I was going through my movie collection on the weekend to find something to watch with my dad and I realized that even though there might be fewer classics released each year, there are still perfect movies being made that can run with the best of the 70s.Bowfinger is awesome. Eddie Murphy does a genius job in both roles.Sean Penn pulling out of the Stooges is a huge blow to me. That was the one movie on the horizon I was really looking forward to. I thought the casting was the best in years. But I respect a guy who wants to work on his marriage.Best burgers are the shit you make at home. Even though I don't eat meat anymore, I can still whip up the best burgers this side of the Milky Way and you need a detachable jaw just to eat the damn things.I deny that downloading is killing any industry. People will still pay for a decent product.

Seeing that you and I think Xi are the only ones with the gaul to watch the greatest form of Entertainment since Magnum PI went off the air. Let me give you a few tidbits of my orgasm of emotion that was the Breaking Bad season amazing finale. I realized that I didn't really say shit except spit vemon since no one was watching it, when it happened. Fist off I live near the air traffic controller college and my brother has been pissed at me beacuase I haven't tried to go their since its really good money and he thinks they are hiring (i know they aren't). I've never wanted to do it because I don't have the concentration and focus to just sit there and do that, also I feared that I would do WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FINALE! Now I wouldn't be under that sort of stress (well maybe one day) but that I would do it just on a monday because I was busy trying to post BS about movies on my IPHONE (since in this life where I have a high paying job I would be able to afford an IPHONE and wouldn't have to worry about IT catching me dicking around here). All that build up the whole season trying to figure out WHAT happened, led to a satisfying result, though not a satisfying end of the season due to the fact that I was like !!!! NO MORE EPISODES!!!! I don't know how much longer they can keep up the coinsedence of Walt's life. How is he going to save his marriage, really. Like I love not knowing how they are going to keep the tension and believability up, and I hope they can keep it going.

Ed Wood was the finest performance of the year and one of the finest of all time. I forgot about that not being nominated. And I was just having that same argument a few weeks back with a friend about the quality of films today. Its a natural response to say films are shit now and they will never produce the classics of the 60s, 70s, 80s......I disagree. I look back on films I love and realize every release year there are probably 2 or 3 films released that I will continue to revisit for the rest of my life. It doesn't matter which year it is.
-
Are you telling me you don't have a single pub in town that serves English style fish and chips? American fish places, at least in the south, tend to suck because they use cod. The only fish worth eating battered is haddock. And now I want some fish and chips and a keg of beer.

"Only battered fish worh eating is haddock"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Fuck that shit. I love fish and chips, but I've eaten it about four times in five years in the UK. It fucking sucks. It's disgustingly greasy and the fish tastes like shit. In Australia we use flake. Man, what I would give for a huge plate of flake and chips right now. There's a place near my home in Australia called Flakey Jakes. THE best fish and chips I've had. Next time I'm back there I'm going to eat either steak, seafood or fish and chips for a month. The UK sucks for all food. Except curry. I'll give that to them. Their curries are fucking good.
-
Outside of you guys. And when a film disappoints me (Indy 4 I'm looking at you) I take that shit personally. But going through my movies on Sunday I saw recent titles like Children of Men, Apocalypto and Speed Racer and I remember crystal clear the feeling I had while watching them and just how perfect my life and the universe felt when the credits rolled. So there are still movies made today that delight me on the level Star Wars did the day I walked out of the theater when I was a kid.

This needs explaining properly. Fish and Chips is fucking horrid IN LONDON. For a good Chippy you need the north, preferably on/ by the sea or scotland. Or you eat it in a good gastropub. If you go to a chippy in london then the fish died of natural causes, the fat is 10 years old and the batter doesn't have beer in it. Any good white fish is OK for it, ideally Haddock, bot Sole, Plaice and Cod (if you can get it- it's actually either coley or pollock nowadays) are good. Ignorami. I too have heard of these mythical london chippy's that do good fish and chips, but I happen to think they don't exist. Like Unicorns.

...back in the day-- Rally's. Does anyone have those out near them? There used to be a bunch in L.A. There's only a few left. I know there is one in Glendale. Haven't been there in years.
-
They are known as something else in South Carolina. The walk up place? They got bomb ass fries. You know whats the best? Krystals or Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle! I love that place, too bad neither are anywhere near me. Probably a good thing, otherwise I'd have to see movies in a wheelchair.
-
Kanadia! Fucking Poutain oh my god I would bath in that. And best yet they serve it at McG's! French fries lumps of cheese and gravy, the new diet.
-
Is out side of America. When I lived in Italy whenever we went downtown we were like, going to McD's because you get sick of Italian food pretty fast.
-
I do want to go there. Just to say I've been. Preferably stoned.
-
In Spain has McBeer. I used to order the Kids meal at McD's in Italy and get a beer as my drink.
-
Have you ever had the microwavable White Castle burgers? I know its obviously not the same-- but fuck. Those things are still pretty damn awesome. -
You can get gazpacho.
-
White Castle burgers, but I'm always too anxcious to eat them and they are always hot as shit and I don't like them. My mom does though? And she's never been to White Castle I think.
-
They have blocked Marva's website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now I realize I don't frequent it too much, but muthafucking stupid IT shitheads who have nothing better to do! FUUUUUUUUUCK!
-
If you get there right after they cooked their fries, five minutes too late and they are cold as shit and nasty. They have probably the best chicken sandwiches and burgers.

If I wake up on saturday morning not remembering much about Friday I can measure likelihood of by what sort of fast food container is around- Pizza= not really drunk. Chinese= pretty drunk but good chance I watched a film sensibly Thai= Sober Kebab= ABSOLUTELY TWATTED. Shitty Camden planning permission putting all of them between the pub and the flat.
-
I'm glad I was exonerated. I did worry that I'd done that.

You'd better wait. I checked a few minutes ago and some things are not back yet. Looks like all of the comments from the last couple of days are gone. Better to hold off than to go to the trouble of posting only to have it wiped out.

But then again it says you can't even post comments right now either?

Node has put the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time up in the letterman TB. Christ, I see why Danny and Xiphos ignore him. He's insane.

Maybe they'll still get the lost comments back. No sense putting up new ones until they're done, though.

??? Its was 12 Monkeys is based on. Never heard of it, seems pretty cool the director of it seems pretty nutz too.
-
I'm pretty much as liberal as they come. And I think someone like Hobo does a lot of harm to the left. Thank Christ he doesn't have a larger stage to spew his ignorant shit. Gee I wonder where that "All Democrats hate Jews" kinda sentiment came from....hhhhmmmmmm...........
-
OK, this is complicated. Twelve monkey's isn't officially based on La Jetee, because Gilliam claims to have not seen it. However, I think he's lying. La Jetee isn't a film per se, it's a series of photographs and doesn't last that long. It's an arthouse masterpiece, but if you've seen it don't expect 12 monkeys..
-
is pretty cool. Yeah, just a series of photos, but it tells the story.
-
Anyone seen that movie? Looks pretty cool.
-
It was the guy reviewing, Butch and Sundance: The Early Days. How I ended up there, same guy who directed Juggernaut did that. Not the point. Read what this douche put in his review. Note the small role by Christopher Lloyd as he lives in the wild west. Eleven years later he would reappear on screen in the wild west with a time machine. Can you guess which movie I'm speaking of? If not, you don't belong on this site. REALLY? IMDB is a site that only CERTAIN people can belong to? Are you fucking kidding me. I hate the people that post on that site. And I don't get how it get decided who's review is shown for the movie.
-
Never even heard of it.
-
Is just stories told on Late night shows from the day before? Really.
-
that's why I like to quote the douchebags in the Schlock vault reviews. Clueless fucktards.

I got the Roth remake of Funhouse from them.

See you tomorrow. It's been emotional.

Movie bio info, and the Trivia stuff is pretty fun. But the comments pages suck, and you've always got to change it to flat. Annoying.

I enjoy IMDB. But their stories are so fucking exaggerated...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...its ridiculous. The headline will read "CHRISTOPHER LLOYD LIVES A LIFE OF REGRET FOR NOT MAKING A 4TH BACK TO THE FUTURE FILM," and the story goes on to explain how some paparazzi asked Lloyd about why they never made BTTF 4 and Lloyd answers "It would have been nice, wouldn't it?" as he steps into his car.

So when the trainer said to clock out and go to lunch, which meant sitting here and doing nothing like I had been doing for the past 2 hours, he asked to speak with me privately. He said that using the interwebs was ok during breaks but he feels that I am using it too much and its taking away from my learning and that others are finding it distracting. He thinks its taking away from my learning because I'm asking more questions? As for it being distracting for other people and taking away time. We were given an assignment at like 10 o'clock I was done by 10:30, so were most of us. We sat around with our thumbs up our asses till 11:30 while he helped out the one other person who couldn't do it. Now I don't care that she couldn't do it. But I did it just fine with barely paying attention but the internet is taking away from my learning. Whatever its distracting to him. Maybe if this room weren't so quite that me typing and clicking a mouse didn't sound like I was banging on the desk it wouldn't be so bad. I'm making a good first impression.

IMDB comments boards are fucking cesspools...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
People bitch about AICN....fuck that. There is a lot of fucking around around here, played mainly for laughs. But there are clearly plenty of very intelligent people that post regularly. IMDB is just seriously dumb fucking kids posting on Brad Pitt's page "I wonder how many tattoos he has" next post "Wouldn't it be cool if we could find out?"
-
When did Gilliam say he'd never seen La Jetee? I find that hard to believe.
And where does the bit about immortal_fish harassing rape victims come from. That little fuck called me a racist for disliking Clarence Thomas. -
Takes like jokes made on late night and turns makes it seem like its the biggest thing since the announcement of Delgo 2: Die Harder. Like the Larry David thing on their right now. Really? You RELLY think thats why they are divorced? That wasn't just Larry doing what he does.

Are fucking stupid. At least you can learn somethings on AICN. People actually know what they are talking about, when it comes to movies....everything else...not so much. But if you are going to the interwebs for that, then shame on you.

fuuuuuuuck, they are bad. I can't even change it to flat half the time, and the shit people come up with is the worst. Unfunny and pointless. Seems to be populated by a mix of 13 year olds and pedophiles.

Just looked. Rally's and Checkers are the same.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
They merged. They have since redesigned the logo, menu and stores to be identical except for the name. Where the fuck are Checkers at?Menstrual....you're in the bay area? Are there Rally's there?
-
I'll be back during breaks. Yeah see how long this lasts.
-
Had 'em in MD and in South Philly. Haven't seen a Rally's in SF. We don't even have Wendy's here (jr. bacon cheeseburger, my fave)....gotta go to Oakland for that.
We do have an in-n-out, unfortunately located in the nightmare that is Fisherman's Wharf. And too many Carls Jr.'s to count. In-n-Out was the first thing I ate when I got to California. Just outside of L.A. actually. -
your phrasing sends shivers down my spine.
-
Remember that.I always find it funny that people that come to Cali from somewhere else always seem to love In and Out a lot more than the people that have had it since birth. I got sick of it when I turned 12. I've had it a few times in the 3 years since, but their pasty mayo/thousand island sludge sorta makes me nauseous now. -
Is a fun place to troll and oh so easy to get the shut ins and crazy cat ladies to go insane. Want to watch people absolutely lose thier shit? Say something even remotely deragatory about Twilight. Game on!
-
no thousand island. that i've never tried.
my traveling companion was from cali and was stoked to have it again. But the kid who took us there was definitely a transplant from jersey.
Have you ever lived outside of Southern California? -

Put Arizona on your list of places to get Mexican food and like Danny said remove New Mexico. Outside of the hatched chili dishes most of the food thier isn't that good. Although there is a hole in the wall place in Taos that kicks all sorts of ass. in the winter you can eat Mexican food and ski at Angel Fire.
-
They have chili.
-
Arizona is on the menu in the next few years. My Mother moved to Phoenix a few years ago and I've been meaning to get my ass down there.
-
For adventure's sake, me and my mate decided to hitchhike from Philly to California. We ended up in a trucker town trying to get a ride and were told by some helpful gentleman to offer to clean the driver's cab.
So he and I are offering to every guy that passes, we'll clean your cab for a ride, yeah, we'll work together and get it done quick. we'll do a good, thorough job, etc., etc. And getting the weirdest looks, getting told that if it was just me it wouldn't be a problem.
Turns out, "clean your cab" is lot lizard/trucker speak for "LET'S FUCK". Who knew? Good thing the ride we ended up with came with no strings attached!
-
And that really thick shake they make is great. Hmmm, that sounds damn good, screw the fish dinner I was going to make tonight.
-
We'll meet in fucking Vegas. And after one night I will make you the TALK OF THE TOWN.
-
Thats fucking scary. Damn that takes balls to hitchhike cross country. So you got one ride all the way? And the guy was totally cool? A trucker or just a regular car? -
Nah, it took multiple rides. A handful of regular cars that got us short distances. And then three separate truckers who got us the rest of the way.
The only really scary one was this dude who picked us up in Little Rock and dropped us in Oklahoma City. I sat up front with him and all he talked about was the horrible shit that happens to gals out hitchhiking. That, and the Oklahoma City bombings. All in an identical voice to the dad from King of the Hill(!)
When he dropped us off at a truck stop, he lingered around and kept walking by and dropping creepy notes at my feet that he thought we had a connection and asking me to stay with him in Oklahoma City. -
Whenever you get around to going down there let me know I can give you a list of really good and off the beaten path places to eat all over the Valley. There's this roaming gut truck that has the BEST Mexican food you will ever eat. It only comes out at night and you have to now somebody who knows where they will be that night. I just happen to know somebody. That's the place you want eat.
-
was really old with an awesome beard. He took us home for a couple days and we all played music together. He fed us beer and ribs in his garden.
Here's a goofy song he wrote that some dude put up on youtube: It's called "I Like Dogs".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mUMt_balVY -
We'll have to hit up Kahunaville in the Treasure Island hotel for a few Big Kahunas. They had to pour me out of that fucking bar. What a mess.
-
What?! Dropping notes? No fucking way....
Jesus Christ that really weirds me out. Seems far too dangerous. How did your mate react to him? -
If you have the intestinal fortitiude head to North LV and The Palomiono. Dingy and somewhat scary=good times. I agree that the Talk of the Town is professional just because of the location.
-
So he couldn't hear a word dude was saying up front. The notes definitely weirded us both out (as did the obsessive emails that I received for a couple weeks). We hightailed it to the truck stop across the street, and were picked up by a nice Christian trucker who talked about his teenage son a lot and had DVD's of Moby Dick and Doom.
-
The roving truck thing sounds like something I saw on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives a few weeks ago. Awesome.
-
I was actually there at TOTT about 3 months ago with a few friends. So we're leaving at around 2 am, walking through the porn shop and young dude (mid 20's) behind the counter hops over it cocking a pump shotgun, while the bouncer guy stands at the front door and waves him over. They turn and look at us trying to leave and say "Hold on a minute guys.....maybe you should go back inside." We're like fuck this-- and turn around and head back into the strip area. We come back about 15 minutes later and the guys are acting totally normal back behind the counter. I asked what happened and he said "Oh....a couple of niggers drove by with a mac-10." Uhhhhhhhhhh......okay. I'm outta here.
-
Damn that's one creppy story. None of my hitching stories are that wierd or cool for that matter. Beer and ribs? were the ribs good?
-
Why would you give your email? Your stories are crazy. And as a member of this group and a Baleiever....I care about you. Please no not hitchhike cross country again.
-
bbq sauce from scratch!
-
Yup, I'm in.
-
and less invasive than giving a phone number. I figured, shit, the guy did give us a ride. Best to placate him with an email address. Unfortunately, the tone of said emails did not warrant a response.
But yeah, truckers tend to be a rough crowd it seems. Most of the car people who picked us up were folks who had done some hitchhiking themselves and just wanted to return the favor and share stories. -
I first found the place on Yelp. Read some reviews
-
You sit in a room where the wall into the shower is glass, she goes in the shower through another door and does her show. The chick told me its 100 bucks and "I don't stop until you pop." Of course I didn't take her up on her offer. By that time I had about 7 dollars on me.
-
Isn't in the best location which adds to it's "charm".
-
Hope to hear some Xiphos hitching stories when I return!
-
It may be time for me to procur a few new credit cards.

or anybody that's posting in the indy TB did node actually have the balls to say, more then once, that he never said The happening was any good? That is a bold face lie of epic proportions.I'm to busy watching TV and doing laundry to wade through that TB and I don't care enough to read through it anyways, I just happened to catch a post about it.Indy 4 is to forgetable to even get into a discussion about.

Sorry I don't have any interesting hitching storys. I met a couple cool or intersting people but most were forgetable. No scary incidents to report.
-
Well okaaaaay but I seem to rememebr it much differently. I guess he'll get away with yet another revision since all the Node posts are gone.Node railed at Harry for his review of the Crappening and stated over and over how the Crappening was The Nights best work. Oh then there was multiple posts in that Hulk thread he hijacked saying the same thing.Just for the record The Crappening was Shaymalans absolute worst work and that's saying something since he has sucked ass since 30 minutes into Signs. As a maer of fact The Crappening is on par with the finest productions of ED Wood without the ironic self insight something like Plan 9 has.
-
I saw a post you made in the Red Dawn TB, WOLVERINESSSSSSSSSSS!!!, about Adriene Palicki. On top of being 5'11" inches of sheer hotness she actually a really good actress. She took a role on Friday Night Lights that could have been a stock throwawy generic "troubled hot chick" role and did a top flight job with it.She was super duper hot the first season of FNL when she had the super long hair and they tarted her up like crazy.
-
Plain purely AWFUL. This guy is a Professional Director(TM)?! Really? Pile of shit 90 mins long. NO. THANKS. Spent the day hiking in the NH Mtns (well on one-Cardigan), it was clear, sunny, and over-run w/ people as always. But's a good hike for a few hours, you get past timberline quick and the views a really good. No Giant Robots and no Harold sightings up there to be honest. Hitchhiking, I can remember being picked up between Camden and Rockland Maine on US1 once ages back, and the guy blurted out he was 'just outta Jail' etc. I didn't stay in the car too long. Good food-Well Maine has it's clam shacks and lobster bars. Moody's Diner in Waldoboro is actually pretty good. You can get the beans, the blueberry pies, fiddleheads and squash donuts all ya want there. It IS def. a tourist trap, but the food IS pretty good all things considered. Inglourious Assturds bores me. No thanks Cokey. There was a pretty neat Texas based chain called the Catfish King I remember. Good stuff!

She pushes all the correct buttons.

I'm looking at his imdb. Since 2000, he has 70 fucking credits? Holy shit.
-
John Carradine was in 100's of things. Think it ran in the family. Take a role, any role, it's a paying job, etc.
-
has been in my opinion one of, if not the best written, acted, shot show on TV the last three seasons. Danny won't like to hear this but the kid who played Gambit is friggin fantastic on FNL.
-
I've heard that Giant Robots that dwell above the NH tree line are the toughest ones there are. Any truth to this rumor?
-
...I just think he looks horribly inappropriate for pretty much every other role he is mentioned for. Just like I wouldn't hate Shia if he were still doing Even Stevens.
-
It stars the guy from Early Edition right?
-
They transform into the Red Sox during the summer and go by the names of 'Ortiz', 'Youkilis' and 'Pedroia'. The Ortiz-bot seems to be leaking something this year though.
-
was a good book. Those boys are crazy! Concealing a testicle swollen to grapefruit proportions to stay in the game? That's hardcore.
David Carradine is Woody Guthrie.

That was a great book Bissinger wrote. The movie was really good also. Hell even the knock off movie starring The Dawson was pretty fun.Sal, yep that's the guy. Him and Connie Britton(hubba hubba) are the characters that drive the show, man are they good.
-
No way! Unless you find All the President's Men boring.
I think a lot of people went in expecting a serial killer/slasher type movie. Which Zodiac definitely was not. -
I have to disagree with you about Zodiac, it felt like a throw back movie to me and I loved the pace, but to each thier own
-
I get absolutely nothing out of it. I don't find the characters engaging. Nothing really happens. It just exists as another wank session to satisfy Fincher's fetish for serial killers. Its well shot...sure. But as far as a point. I don't see one. I don't know why anyone felt that that is a story that needed to be told. I actually thing true stories need more justification to be told on screen than fiction. And I don't get the All The President's Men comparison either. Why because they are both procedural and fairly slow? I enjoy slow....when the plot is moving forward and things are happening. I found Presidents to be fascinating.
-
and goodnight.

Not sure how I did that sorry. Anyways, Chipps, Barramundi=Professional!
-
Check out the Indy TB where I sarcastically asked Asimov if he was screaming out loud by the end of that last post, he responds with "THANKS MAN. I KNEW YOU'D UNDERSTAND." hahah
-
Zodiac. I like Downey Jr.'s re-birth here, it's nice to see it going on. This movie is sposedly full of plot changes and goes on too long, sure, but I'll be sure to give it a lookee.
-
It's an intersting story even if Graysmith's version is trash. Again though opinions will vary.
-
Poor guy. Though I do think the Zodiac murders might have fucked with his head a little. From the interviews I've seen, the little boy in the movie is basically him.
And anyway, it's not a movie about the killings. It's a movie about people who stake their identities and/or livelihoods on a mystery, and, to an extent, the price they pay for their obsession.
The All the President's Men comparison is more based on the way parts of it are shot. -

My favorite film of 2007, it was.
-
yes it was that bad. and i really gave it a chance, i wanted it to be good.
-
That second paragraph is probably the best description of the movie I've read. Nice job.
-
it is such a different film. but in the end i did like it. it is a hard film to define.
-
Okay. What did I miss? Did something catastrophic happen?
-
I really, really liked that movie. Pissed me off that the studio seemed to be saying, "Sorry, Fincher. Not this year!"
-
Very good movie, certainly not boring. I thought it was fascinating, watching these characters go about putting the puzzle together piece by piece.
-
IMO. I am actually not a huge fan of Se7en and FIGHT CLUB, but ZODIAC enthralled the hell out of me. It was like his JACKIE BROWN, where QT showed that he had grown up and could do more mature work than RESERVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION (and than he reverted).
I also think MB nailed it - it was a movie about obsession and the desire for clear answers when sometimes you don't get it.
Plus the movie has three-to-four really disturbing and nerve wracking scenes without having to resort to gore or cheesy horror devices. Fear in ZODIAC wasn't played for fun and thrills, it was played to actual get you to be scared and worried. -
You liked Star Trek. This may interest you. 4-part comic series covering the years between Nero showing up and the movie.
http://tinyurl.com/ldevah -
JAWS is no match for the NOSE.
-
the murder scenes are certainly brutal, mostly I think because of the contrast with the rest of the movie, and because of how fucking ABRUPT they are. It doesn't come off as being overly sensational, and definitely not thrilling or fun.
-
He's professional(TM)that one.
-
Damn I thought I was all alone on that one. it's Teh only Tarantino movie I rewatch. The rest well...Another reason why I really liked Zodiac was how engrossed I became in it even though I knew all about the problems with Graysmiths account of the Zodiac investigation.Fincher was able to make me put aside my reservations about the source and I got lost in the movie. Stuntcock is probably right. It was the best movie of 07.

I should re-watch that. I liked it when it came out, but haven't seen it since.

The folks who run the hosting site tried to do some upgrades, I guess you call it, and Wham-O! the place went dark for like 12 hours.Contrary to the evidence at hand Jarv was NOT responsible.

I just got bored after awhile. I liked the familiar faces-Keaton? Forster? Sammy Jax? DeNiro?-it just didn't do it for me. Maybe I will give it another looksee down the road.
-
Is arguably the best work Sam Jackson has done. Everybody in that movie brought thier A+ game. Robert Forester brought his A++.
-
About real people. You had the story of two older people looking for love again and trying to find the right person, and you also had Jackie Brown tired of starting over. The scene when she explains how she makes only $18,000 a year and works for the shittiest airline and can't go back to square one was just real as hell. I could totally relate to that.
It was the only QT movie I felt that was populated by people from a real universe versions guys plucked from other movies. Of course, Elmore Leonard probably deserves the bulk of the credit for that. -
-ever see Alligator? Your friends and mine Henry Silva and Michael V. Gazzo are both in it. Gazzo get eaten by an alligator. It's worth your time even if you don't think so.
-
It was written by John Sayles, and follows his formula for monster movies (like Piranha). If for nothing else, John Sayles for coming up with the idea that the heroine in a movie and the doctor/scientist/advisor character should be one-and-the-same.
-
I meant to say "If for nothing else, John Sayles SHOULD BE REMEMBERED for coming up with the idea..."

That's a relief. I thought the 'Thunder Rock' review had derailed it.Or the Hadron Collider had been switched on again.

(Since I can't comment there)
Re: The Unwritten (you're right that it's kind of like a goofy mystery/horror story for kids, but damn if the story doesn't move along. I like it!) If you're asking about the Villa Diodati-Milton connection, it is indeed true.
Check it: http://tinyurl.com/m3nzkk -
I got the Countdown. I loved it. You really like Unwritten? A lot of people seem to, its just not doing it for me. Comparing it to Air, Air is just so much better and the drawing in that comic is just beautiful at parts. Plus the girl in Air (written by a girl) feels like a real girl, not some comic geeks fantasy of what a girl is. Also the whole art in Unwritten is just muddled and lazy I think.
-
thank you for reading the reviews. The spacing is all fucked up. Once My Mavra gets better I'll see if I can fix it.

Back in the fifties about a heroin addict
-
I'm liking the comic section. Keep up the good work! I also think it's a hell of a lot better than the comic coverage on AICN. If I think of anything that would make a good addition, I will definitely let you know.
Re: Nero. The Nero comic isn't Countdown, it's a new comic series from the Countdown folks covering the 25 years between the Kelvin and the Enterprise (so, Klingons).
As for The Unwritten... Something about Air, the Unwritten, and Y: The Last Man seems similar to me. As if they have TV-show pacing, and at least in the latter two, the artwork definitely seems more perfunctory than anything else. The tv-style pacing (a la LOST) doesn't seem like a bad thing, though.
I haven't read all of Air yet. It's hard to read it in an unbiased manner cuz I used to know the gal who writes it. I like the artwork a lot though, and I like the way the story keeps changing up styles. -

Hello Toadkillerdog. Fred read that play in High School
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Never connected him with the guy who was in the Godfather
-
Bang! Tango.... How far along is that? Should I wait for the trade?
-
Wasn't it you and I last year talking about Zodiac and saying "So...this is a movie that makes it look cool to be a serial killer and outsmart cops?" Weren't we joking about that?
-
heroin addiction, sinatra and jazz drumming, oh my!
-
"I'm human. I drink a little. I smoke pot. I've tried heroin...a few times, yeah. And ya know, now I'm really trying to cut down on the number of times I try heroin. In a day."

Very under rated actor, he could sing a note or two as well! Hee hee
-
-who but Henry Silva was in that movie 'Hatful of Rain', written by our friend, Michael V. Gazzo? I watched King Creole today, and who scripted that? Why, none other than-Frankie Five Angels there-Michael V. Gazzo. Gazzo was one of my fave character actors you saw all the time in the 70's, less so the 80's. Heck if you check out Kojak on Hulu.com-there he is in one of the episodes. Pretty cool.
-
Of the top of my head I can think of only three films I liked better than Zodiac that year: Ratatouille, There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men.
Sure Eastern Promises was interesting but it wan't great, and after that I am hard pressed to think of a good movie. Rescue Dawn. Gone Baby Gone. Before the Devil Knows Your Dead. Michael Clayton (ehh). The Simpsons Movie just because of Bart's wang. I'll even say Juno. After that. I've got nothing. -
For me # 1 was INTO THE WILD...Nothing else came close. Other good ones were Darjeeling Limited, Rocky Balboa, 3:10 To Yuma, and Sunshine
-
though it was no A History of Violence, which I fucking loved.
Rescue Dawn I thought was fine as well. Jeremy Davies going in full-Manson mode. And that guy I find really annoying usually wasn't annoying in it. Still prefer old-school Herzog though. I thought the movie was good in general, but not necessarily good for being a Herzog movie.
I have absolutely no patience for Juno, though. -
3:10 to Yuma was okay too, in it, as always, our friend Crowe-was Professional(word) train and all.
-
Did you read the book?
-
Didn't see Rocky Bolboa (refuse to see another Rocky or Rambo flick) and Sunshine, and I hated Darjeeling Limited.
3:10 to Yuma was ok, but I freely admit I am bias because I am a big fan of the original (Bale just couldn't match Van Heflin's performance in my opinion). -
Liked it bordering on loved it. Eastern promises? Cronenberg can do no wrong by me.
-
....very good. I love that whole survival/man and nature/Thoreauish type stuff.
-
Silence........I am sitting here......in silence..........
-
It is no Three Days of the Condor but it was pretty good Sydney Pollack-esque adult thriller.
-
But it is like Major League - Jesus can't hit a curve ball.
There is just certain things our lord and savior can't do. Playing the little guy as good as Van Heflin is one of those things. -
I knew what was coming but what a shit way to go.

Rocky Balboa was pure magic. Neck and neck with 1.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
History of Violence was cool.....though a little dull feeling. Something about it feels a little off. Just didn't inspire me. I like Viggo and loved the killings and the odd tone. But I thought Ed Harris was whacked. "DON'T FORGET YOUR SHOOOOOOOOOOOES"
-
Take care of that.
-
I fucking love when he writes HAPPINESS IS ONLY REAL SHARED. And the vision of going home to his family and all that calling it by its right name and he writes his real name. FUCK......FUCK!!!!!
-
Everything seems a little off, kind of "something's wrong here, I dont know what". And then you have James Woods pulling a pistol out of his stomach vagina.
-
Not enough movies have those IMO.
-
Donno about Crowe vs. Ford, but-both were/are good.
-
and it all turned to shit. I don't think I've ever seen a movie take a nosedive like that. Everything before that was fucking gold though.
-
I developed a burning haterd for that punk fucking bitch and for a plug nickle I would have taken out that whinny motherfucker myself. The movie looked good but fuck that kid I wished he died sooner from a gang attack by rabid wolverines.
-
I thought the movie was ok, but I couldn't bring myself to love it or even really like it. I just thought it was trying to glorify a main character who was basically didn't want to compete anymore and tossing in the towel. He wasn't an iconoclast in my opinion as much as a quitter running away from a world he couldn't compete in.
Not saying everyone should feel this way, but that is how I reacted to it. But I am a big fan of evolutionary psychology so part of the problem was me injecting my own philosophy and opinions into the subject. -
Xiphos_2
-
....those you look down on him, and those that view it a bit more romantically. Like a guy that just needed an escape. He wanted the ultimate challenge. He was delusional, but he really thought he could survive out there. I think at some point he had a revelation that he had made a grave mistake and it was time to go back home. At that point he was trapped by the river. And if he had a map he would have known the ferry was a few miles up the trail. So yeah all this is his own doing. But anyone who has that adventurous romantic spirit can relate to him in some way. On the same breath when you guys talk about war movies and how bad ass some guy was in real life and all that, it does nothing for me. I don't understand the love of war films at all. On a technical level sure, but not the actual details of the event. Its just the way different themes affect different people in different ways on a deeper level.

Holbrook said his robot bear role 'was a stretch', and certainly parts of it were grizzly.
-
Actually I normally enjoy man versus nature scenarios - I love seeing a person survive on his own. BUT in this case I felt like I was watching a whiny/delusional kid instead of the transcendental hero that Penn saw him as.
But I also freely admit I am projecting my own beliefs into the film. I think if I saw it when I was younger and more idealistic I would have liked it more before I got older, wiser and more skeptical and cynical, and came to my own conclusion that this so-called rat race everyone complains about is actually how the human race is supposed to function and that materialism and ambition actually serves a purpose.
Any one else here ever read "The Lucifer Principle"? -
the rest are pastiches/remake/homage fests.

Was people's comments. Equal amount of insecure men saying they would of kicked the shit out of her and people who accuse MMA of being fake.
The video was staged though. -
He also enjoyed snorting chalkdust in the land of Chalk w/ Simon.
-
but in terms of his directing. especially that last scene of jackie singing, that was class. and it didn't reek of imitation chinese gangster bullshit. his only good movie imo.
-
I fucking hated that movie. Loved Sunshine though. Into the Wild was a lot better then I thought it would be.
-
Was a best-seller for quite a spell I think...
-
I kind of remember that convo, I don't know if I was the one that said it. Sounds like something I would say.
-
The ending gets me every time. And some of you guys are right, it is about a somewhat delusional person that tries to change his life drastically. But that's what makes this story so touching, his flaws. In my opinion they make him a much more believable character and therefore it's easier to relate to him.

It looks like a scene from Paul Schrader's HARDCORE.
I have never seen such unhappy strippers. -
Some idiot couple near me had a 10 week old Jack Russell puppy. They took it to a local park, shot it 10 times. And skinned it and had the skin drying in the front yard of their apartment. All so they could make a belt buckle. Now yes I have a jack Russell and I don't know where I stand on animal cruelty, but I know that any sort of 10 week old puppy only needs less then one bullet to kill it. If they didn't kill that puppy with the first bullet then that is just so fucked up, I mean its already fucked up. The judge is making them take competency test.
-
Yeah I should watch it again, if I randomly have 24 hours to make it through it. I fucking tried 5-10 times trying to watch it when I had rented it and I just keep falling asleep. The crossing guard get the award for worlds slowest chase scene.

because they look like the most depressed/coked out strippers I've seen in a while.

For some reason I was looking at the year 1982 in film
by continentalop
Lot of really good cult-classic, genre and cornball fun movies came out that year: Android, Beastmaster, Class of 1984, Creepshow, Eating Raoul, The Plague Dogs, Porky's, The Secret of NYMPH, Things Are Tough All Over, Quest for Fire, Timerider, etc.
And that isn't even counting the A-list stuff like Conan the Barbarian, Tron, Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, First Blood, Blade Runner, etc. -
Which is why I looked that year up in the first place.
-
Valkre suck? odo19 I put my thoughts on Breaking Bad somewhere up there.
-
Or I will attack! And you dont want that! Damn! A cover of I've got the POWER? I have to download that NOW!!!
-
To the fame remake. Shit just saw that it was directed by Alan Parker. Me and the comic shop guy were talking about Angelheart and how they are remaking it, he was like why would you remake an Alan Parker movie. Knowing that Alan Parker did The Wall and the comic shop guy probably watches it once a week a agreed with his statement. But as for Angelheard/The Wall/Birdy/Road to Wellville you can remake his movies all you want.
-
back at my old apartment, I had a neighbor who had that same couch/chair combo, or one with a very similar pattern, it had to be fucking close if that's what I first noticed on a pic with naked chicks.

It took me less than a minute to find the album, and while I enjoy Power (partly for the nostalgia factor, I loved the SNAP original back in the day), the rest of the album is just horrible numetal garbage, and they totally raped Cash's corpse with that shit rendition of Ring Of Fire. I thought H-Blokx was a lame attempt at rap metal when I bought one of their albums in the late 90s (dont remember which), but fuck they got even worse since then. I'm surprised they even still exist. No wonder bands like Disturbed and Papa Roach ditched that trend after a few albums. The best rap metal album ever made was and forever shall remain the Judgement Night Soundtrack. A true fucking classic album that spawned countless wretched fetid imitations.
-
I love that. I still love H-Blocks I've got the power. That cd is still from like 2002 or 2000. So its a little old now. And I love Nu-metal I don't care.

Xi, I figured out the movie we were talking about last night
by continentalop
The one where an underage girl gets a curling iron with vaseline pressed against her leg.
It was The Exterminator. It suddenly popped in my head when I was with some friends talking about B vigilante movies.
Jarv, you also have to do schlock vigilante of the 80s - The Exterminator, Ms. 45, 10 Minutes to Midnight, Vigilante, The Nail Gun Massacre, The Wraith, Walking the Edge, The Young Warriors, etc. -
fucking dumbass aussie. We've got 60 million people on an island, unlike you lot with 7 familes and a sheep spread across a continent so we don't have to resort to incest. He did kick another mate of mine's ass on more than one occasion for perving on her though.
-
incest is unnecessary and yet still you're all shagging your own family. filthy bastards. take a bath
-
That was very clever though. I'll give you that one.
-
we hate to flog you but we must, we must.
-
am desperate to see Ms. 45 because I've never seen it. Zodiac is a film to admire rather than love. Into the wild drives me nuts because I hated him. Douchebag. Sunshine was so close to being great, nearly fucked by the cenobite nonsense in the last act, but redeemed by that spectacular ending. Munich- I think that last 3rd actually is a deal breaker with that film. It lowered it from being an 8/10 movie to a 5/10 movie.

Because, to be honest, I actually prefer the Shatner version.

Hometown bias. Different Class was a great album- and I recognise the exact fuckheads he's talking about every day on my way into work. (St Martin's isn't very far from me).
-
it always is- something by radiohead, Whatever by Oasis, Sgt Peppers, teen spirit and a load of utter crap that people think is important.
-
the only film I've seen recently which I thought was good enough to excuse a weak segment was Wall-E. Munich I thought nosedived after they killed the naked chick (to the extent that I don't actually like it), and Sunshine nearly went that way as well. I suppose the difference between Wall E, Sunshine and Munich is that Wall-E and Sunshine had stunning scenes towards the end (Wall-E rebooting, or the Sun rising in Sunshine) whereas Munich didn't. And that sex scene in Munich is the second worst one for a long time. It would be the worst, except for that horribly embarrasing, jucenile, psuedo porn with cliched music garbage in Turdmen. Spielberg should not direct sex. He doesn't have it in his repertoire.

George Lucas has disclosed that his company is developing an advanced form of storyboarding that will allow filmmakers to create a virtual version of their planned movies on a computer before they actually begin shooting it. In an interview with today's (Monday) Chicago Tribune, Lucas said that the system will "pre-visualize" a film. "Everyone involved can know what the movie will look like before they shoot," he said." Lucas said that he is also developing an editing system that will at once be "more sophisticated and much more simple" and will "make editing available to more people." Asked whether he was "torn" between spending so much time on technology rather than storytelling, Lucas replied, "No matter what you do as an artist, you bump against a technological ceiling. You're trying to solve problems with tools." Lucas was in Chicago to accept the Gene Siskel Film Center Visionary Award for Innovation in Filmmaking.

That was the guys name on IMDB. So I guess he's new.

I did find one redeaming quote from him, though it was for a movie I personally like though many hate, Solider. If this movie were a person I would kill him. Also Jarv would you note that he's a Blimy like you. I'm gonna scroll through he's reviews and see if there are any good ones, I see he loved Milk and The Wrestler.

I was wrong this guys been on IMDB for a LONG ass time. He's been a member since 2001. His first review was The Mummy Returns, he liked then Emperors New Groove which he declared was "The best Disney movie ever," - MovieAddict2009, 10 May 2001. Also said that Shrek was Hilarious!! A MUST SEE!!! note the extra exclamation points for excitement.

Wild Wild Flop is what he calls it. I'll see if I can find some Lucas stuff.

the devotion to technology over everything else (see also Zemeckis). Technology should be waaaaaay down on the list of things you need for a great film- something he should be able to recognise from the original Star Wars films beating the shit out of the technowank prequels.

series. A complete douchebag
-
The diversity of topics in here is breathtaking.Zodiac is one of those rare instances where I disagree with Danny. Even though I knew how it turned out, it still managed to have me enthralled. The scene when the detectives question Arthur Leigh Allen was brilliant direction and acting. I just don't know how someone can watch that and not be riveted. And then that scene with Ruffalo and Gyllenhaal in the diner at the end, that was perfection. The hair on the back of my neck was not only standing up, but each follicle had it's own erection. It's one of those rare perfect movies for me.Who was asking about Valkyrie? I loved it. The supporting cast is mint and Nighy is spot on brilliant. Like Zodiac, we know how it ends but Singer still made it engaging as hell. I never thought I'd forgive him for Superman but he nailed it.Nacho Libre bored the crap out of me.Best fast food hamburgers I probably ever had were from this chain in Canada called Harvey's. Their fries sucked by those burgers were amazing. Cooked them when you ordered them and then put them together in front of you like at Subway.Into the Wild took me two months to get through. To me it was like watching a train wreck and I really have trouble seeing that stuff on screen. But that ending with him in the bus was gut wrenching.Robert Forster deserved the award for Jackie Brown. He was easily one of the most sympathetic characters in a movie.......ever. I felt like I was watching a real man, not an actor, going through the pains and loneliness of life.

In a Talking to Americans segment on the television series This Hour Has 22 Minutes during the 2000 American election, Rick Mercer convinced then-Governor of Texas George W. Bush that Canada's Prime Minister, Jean Chrétien, was named Jean Poutine and that he was supporting Bush's candidacy. A few years later when Bush made his first official visit to Canada, he joked during a speech, "There's a prominent citizen who endorsed me in the 2000 election, and I wanted a chance to finally thank him for that endorsement. I was hoping to meet Jean Poutine." The remark was met with laughter and applause.

Was one I made like 15 years ago. I bought the most expensive ground beef (the hormone free Canadian stuff) and strips of bacon from a smokehouse down the street. Bought lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and hot peppers from local growers at the farmer's market and then went to a French bakery and picked up hot out of the oven onion buns. Put it all together and every bite was like having a mouth lined with lactating breasts.

FACT: Morgan Freeman tried to bang his step-granddaughter.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
From National Enquirer...
Morgan Freeman has been having a nearly decade-long affair with his step-granddaughter - a scandalous charge that has emerged in the bitter divorce battle between the acclaimed actor and his wife Myrna, says a source.
The relationship between the 72-year-old actor with step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines, 27, began when she was a teen, the source told The ENQUIRER exclusively. The alleged affair not only contributed to his split from Myrna, his wife of 25 years, it also led to his breakup with his longtime mistress, former schoolteacher Mary Joyce Hays.
E'Dena is the granddaughter of Morgan's first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, and was raised by Morgan and Myrna "since she was a little girl," the source told The ENQUIRER.
"Myrna said E'dena told her that when she was a teenager, she and Morgan went to dinner at a friend's house one evening. Both had been drinking, and when they returned home, Morgan attempted to have sex with her. They stopped just short of having intercourse," the source, a close family insider, told The ENQUIRER.
"E'Dena explained to Myrna that she stopped Morgan from going any further."
Myrna confronted Morgan, and he agreed to leave E'Dena alone - but unbeknownst to Myrna, the relationship continued for years, said the source.
E'Dena has also been Morgan's escort to several public events, including last summer's premiere of the blockbuster Bat-flick hit, The Dark Knight.
"Nobody thought anything of it, because she would be introduced as his 'granddaughter.' The family insider divulged.
"It's not technically incest, because they are not related by blood...[but] Morgan is trying desperately to keep his divorce out of open court so all the shameful facts won't become public."

I don't know much about that comic, I've been thinking about picking it up for awhile. I know its more of a cool hot topic comic then actually good comic, but it seems interesting enough. Also the fact that Simon Pegg isn't going to be the star will help make it something different.

I accuse QT of being a hipster, but Roth is really the ultimate
by continentalop
Everything is a pose to be cool. Whenever you read and interview or article about him doing a movie, like CELL by Stephen King, he always talks about how he would shoot it or do a scene because it would be COOL to see that.
"Cool"? Really? You don't make something "cool", it just is or it isn't. It is like the old statement that someone cool doesn't act cool, they just are. Once you try to act or be cool, you no longer are.
Eli Roth is very un-cool. -
I remember being disappointed in it. I am a huge HP Lovecraft fan (sans the racism) but I just felt it really didn't capture the tone of his work like he was trying to do.
I might have to watch it again to see if it plays better the second time. -
"THE THING still holds up, but it will be interesting to see what happens with the big budget Ron Moore prequel, which supposedly sets the stage for a THING remake, followed by a new movie which will finally carry the story forward after that." And yup I did miss a few > from that.
-
I am like, fuck just make a Thing sequel that doesn't destroy Carpenters. Have some people find the burned down ruins of the old station and unearth the thing. It gets unfrozen and comes back to life and starts killing. DON'T, I repeat, DON'T have them fucking remake Carpenter's thing completely unnecessary unless you want it to go back to being a walking carrot.
-
really, there can be no denying this. Also, Those top 5 things have got me thinking about Carpenter's resume. Holy shit- nigh on 20 yeasr without a bad film. Wow. And his only real stinker is Ghosts of Mars. (EFLA isn't very good, but it's still got a few chuckles in it)
-
but hes so damn cool, he looks like a drawing come to life, and he really wants to make a movie based on Dave the Barbarian, a cartoon about a scared barbarian and his weird family.
-
But to use a baseball analogy, I don't expect any director to bat 1.000, He is batting over .300 (nearly .500 actually) and that is damn good in my book.
Fuck, Roth hasn't even connected with the ball yet. -
Pro Wrestling is dying thanks to MMA.

that ending is perfect. Any sequel would have to decide one way or another who was infected. No thanks. If you are going to do something like that, go with the plot of the game- but even then that's a bad idea.
-
You could just have them find a dog frozen. Sure it is a cheat, but it is a tribute to the previous film without compromising the original ending.
What was the plot of the game? -
Children of the Damned is a bit meh, Memoirs of an Invisible man is meh, Vampires starts brilliantly then declines, EFLA is a mess and Ghosts of Mars smells of poo.
-
starring john cena, where he rescues a 13 year old girl [played by that 13 year old girl with the huge rack from japan, you know the one] for a concerned japanese father, only to find out his old unit were the ones who kidnapped her, throw in arnold as the guy who says "until next time" while powerstation starts blaring.
-
But they never found any of them, just a burnt out camp. Unfortunately they bought Macready back at the end- which sort of ruined it, but the first half before it went all metal gear solid was good.
-
I used to love this movie as a kid. Now I am afraid to watch it just in case it doesn't hold up.
The only thing I never liked about that scene, and i know I am nitpicking as hell here, is that they show Bronson unable to handle Judo or Jujitsu. Back in the 19th century, America used to be big in Folk Wrestling and Catch Wrestling. It would be very hard to believe he wouldn't be prepared to handle throws or know how to grapple.
Ok. Done whining. -
there can be no denying this.
-
But I totally forgot Children of the Damn.
It is pretty much tied for second place: EFLA, In the Mouth of Madness, Prince of Darkness, Memoirs of an Invisible Man. All work but I think they are on the weaker side. I would probably replace one of those with Children of the Damn.
Number 1 - Ghost of Mars. Just bad. -
why even bother redoing the thing. Is there not at least one original idea out there?
-
I know. Sacrilege. But I never dug that movie or most of Arnold's really cheesy stuff. I did like Running Man though.
-
Hollywood right now is scared of risk. Which is why they are losing the market place to Chinese and Indian films to much of the world.
-
tickets. Outstanding. The only question is, where am I going to find a nurses uniform. For her. *gulp*
-
only Ghosts of Mars is actively bad. That's some CV. I haven't seen masters of horror, so can't comment- but I really want to slap him for The Fog Remake, Assault remake, Halloween Remake etc. Has anyone seen Hell comes to Frogtown?
-
Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler, Gran Torino, Taken, Up, The Hangover, Coraline - while not completely avant garde (most are just genre flicks) they were all original stories that were successful.
Of course, for every one of these you have the International or Duplicity which warns you against being original. -
Cribs a lot from A Boy and his Dog, but Rowdy Roddy Piper is good in it. Cheesy but fun at times if I remember right.
And Piper was really good in They Live. -
actually, that's one that could be remade- they clearly didn't have the cash to do the last act justice.
-

Mind you, Midnight Meat Train was original and didn't even get a release over here. Outlander was original and got fucking buried. These 2 are actually both top films and could quite easily have become franchises (loathsome) in their own right. Instead Hollywood just keeps going for safety first.
-
Piper vs. Keith David is awesome. No fast cutting, no wires, just to guys beating the shit out of eat other in long takes. It is like watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance, if by dancing you meant body slammed, punched and kneed each other in the nuts.
-
apparently that took ages to do. Top fight in a top film.
-
1) Please try to remake bad movies that had a basic good premise. You could try to remake Mama's Boys because that film is God awful go ahead. Better yet, someone remake Hostel and Cabin Fever.
2) Maybe don't remake the film per say, but re-imagine it. You know like how two Samurai films became westerns (Yojimbo and Seven Samurai became For a Fistful of Dollars and Magnificent Seven), or how two westerns could be re-imagined into sci-fi movies (Shane and High Noon into Soldier and Outland). Or how even His Girl Friday was reimagined into the horrible Twister. Fuck, Barbwire is really just Casablanca after all.
3) Or maybe you could just be inspired by the movie and not crib it entirely. You know, how Pale Rider is based on Shane but it is still it's own movie, or how Against All Odds is really Out of the Past.
4) And if you do remake a movie but change enough of it, don't steal it's fucking title. The remake of Assault on Precinct 13 should have just been called Assault. It was different enough to be it's own film but you could still acknowledge the source material.
5) Or maybe just use elements from that film to inspire you to make something original. Hidden Fortress inspired Lucas to make Star Wars, and the Searchers inspired Paul Schrader to write Taxi Driver, Hardcore and Rolling Thunder.
Finally, maybe just be fucking original once in awhile. Just maybe. -

yeah but that roth qt stuff, the way i see it, it is when you give the no date film nerd the camera. how many times have i said wouldn't it be cool to kill the hero in the first sence and see what happens. that happened to segal. and you go, shit. that was a fucking cool decision. to me those brain dead movies benefit from people who say, wouldn't it be cool if....
-
i have often claimed to have the key to a place only to pick up a brick
-
almost certainly
-
there are a few films that do that- Scream noticeably killed off Drew Barrymore in the first scene. This is why I think they should do Alien 5 after Alien 4 on ruined earth and kill ripley at the start.
-
above they were talking about some directors saying 'wouldn't it be cool if' and saying that was a bad thing. (scream came after executive decsion) i like that attidute to film. i think landis and smith and yes qt have it, and when properly applied it is sweet.
-
it makes me think of my week at work. i'm a bank johnny. i have pleasent dreams about being robbed. i think it would break up the bordem. my co workers see me as a weekend warrior phycopath. i recently took up judo cause in the solomons we have crazy rules of engagement where we have to be fired on before we can retailitate. since im a scout and a little fella it basically means we have to detain them clean skinned. have you ever seen a solomon islander? so i took up judo. anyway we did this training secesson on branch security. my manager said 'what can we do to make ourselves safer in the branch from external threats' i said 'judo'
-
As with your list above, I also feel that there are things that should disqualify a film from being remade- 1)It's nearly perfect the way it is- This should disqualify the likes of Psycho from being touched. 2)Not enough time has passed- it's unforgivable to be remaking the film within 10 years of the original being released. The story is too "fresh" and it's just hackery to redo it. 3)it's of it's time- how the fuck does a 21st Century Videodrome even sound like a good idea? 4)It features an iconic performance that is impossible to improve on- again Psycho is the prime example of this. 5)It's already been done to death- I really don't ever want to see another version of The Bodysnatchers, and yet they did one anyway. 6)If you can do it as a sequel, then do it as a sequel- don't pretend otherwise. Halloween is a storming example of this.Remakes are a fine balance. There's plenty of films out there that could do with a remake, but the likes of The Thing, Videodrome etc just don't deserve it. It can be done, it's just a bloody difficult trick to pull off- sort of like cover versions, in that there are maybe 10 that are as good if not better than the original.
-
it just did. man i don't get this carpener love fest. the guy was a hack.
-
also judo wasn't founded until i think the 1880s. so an old dude in 1890 who learnt it.....would have learnt it when he was old.
-
and Roth is that Roth shoots the entire film around sequences that he thinks "look" cool. That Funhouse interview is a prime example. There's nothing wrong with throwing in the odd cool idea, but to shoot the whole film around what you believe are "cool" moments is just bollocks hackery.
-
No way someone with EFNY, BTILC, The Thing, Halloween, The Fog, Dark Star, Starman, Assault on Precinct 13 and They Live on his CV could be called a hack. He's a stoner hack now, but in the 70's and 80's he was never a hack.
-
see you in 20 mins or so.
-
not a huge fan of roth. but i am a fan of people i think do that, like qt landis smith ect. though i would say that they link a series of wouldn't it be cool moments rather than shoot a whole movie around it. that i would agree is stupid.
-
keep doing it and sometimes you'll do well sometimes you'll be shit. that = carpenter. let me put it this way. i'll give you one, maybe two low budget gems. clerks and mallrats, res dogs and pulp. blood simple. but if you just conver belt keep curning them out till you get to vampires, that is a fucking hack. i somewhat pay some of his moives like i pay res dogs, but you don't perpetutatally get the excuses that i have no budget, i was outside the system. as soon as the system backs you you need to bring a new game. tarinto did it. smith didn't. carpener didn't.
-
thread. you may not think it but i have a double degree in economic/commerce majoring in finace and am a member of the left wing aussie party. so i know how shit works, and still smite over how grandma died. this will make interesting reading.
-
you know that character in the movie who old and so totally switched on, he knows how things work. and he tells everyone how its gonna end then he dies. and you think, dude you are in jail with everyone else, i don't belive you are a genius. oh yeah, it is explained by the fact that he is an assehole a drunkard and a reckless clown who spends his spare time sawing the heads offa parking meters. i always thought that character was ridiculus. turns out that is me.
-
Just to agree with Jarv for a second - John Carpenter was NOT a hack. He lost his way eventually, but back in the late seventies and up until the late eighties that guy was on an incredible run of form. In less than 15 years, the guy made Dark Star, Assault On Precinct 13, Halloween, The Fog, Escape From New York, The Thing, Christine, Starman, Big Trouble In Little China, Prince Of Darkness, and They Live. How on Earth anyone can claim that is the work of an occasionally lucky hack is beyond me.Good weekends to all. Hope all the Twitch regulars are well.Cheers.

i really try. i feel like a nerd hater not liking them. everytime. i want to like them. but i don't he is a fucking hack.
-
Carpenter didn't just do the same thing every time, there's not conveyor belt formula shit like Smith - and he never complained about budget. Look at the jumps- Assault to Halloween, The Thing to EFNY to Starman, They Live to Big Trouble. These films have nothing in common with each other aside from the fact that they're all good. Carpenter is a far better director than Tarantino- and certainly "did" it better. When Tarantino comes up with a genre defining film then he can be put in that category, all he's done so far (aside from Pulp Fiction which is great)is rip off other films (Reservoir Dogs), poorly adapt a novel (Jackie Brown) overindulge (Kill Bill), or just plain suck (Death Proof). And that's before I even get on to the fact that he can't write dialogue that isn't him speaking- this is especially painful when it's women talking. It's interesting that Carpenter's higher budget films are not as good as his lower stuff, something that is also true of Tarantino. I remember reading that Pulp only cost $8m- and he's ready with the excuses all the time (he bitched about piracy killing Death Proof).Carpenter just makes what he wants to, and to hell with box office/ marketing etc. He's a hack now, but he wasn't always. Tarantino hasn't got half the track record Carpenter has.
-
ALL of it.
-
it doesn't matter if you don't like them, but it's laughable to compare them to the likes of fucking McG (who embodies hack)- you can see the artistry in them. Don't forget that Carpenter wrote, directed and did the score for a lot of his films. He ain't a hack.
-

there was a massive shift between dogs and ficton. carpenter never got to ficton, he just kept making dogs. still i agree he was a bit of a polymath, he kept making dogs, but in different joneras. he invented several joneras and you gotta pay that. i pay him. for the movies other people made cause of him. the only one i really like is halloween. though as stated above i love the line about useing a brick as key. gold.

-
rip off City of Fire in the most shameless piece of plagiarism ever for Reservoir Dogs. Which I like, but nevertheless it is a rip off. Pulp fiction was good Jackie Brown was meh Kill Bill was shit and plagiarised And Death Proof was dreadful. Compare that to Carpenter's first 5- Dark star can be argued about, but in the sake of fairness I'll say it's shit. Assault is brilliant, Halloween is genre defining, The Fog is great and Escape From New York is classic. Tarantino is nowhere near that level- with one great film, 2 good films and 3 loads of shit.

Carpenter was hugely influential, Tarantino is hugely influenced. Huge difference.

and pay him for them. i just can't get into his films. it makes me feel like a film nerd reject. but i tell it as i see it. i pay what he did for film. i just don't pay his movies.

i acknowlege that he influenced my favorite films, as such i keep trying to like him. i just don't. i wish i did, but he comes across like a three movie a year hack.

That is probably the best documentary I've ever seen. I can't believe they made a doc feel like a fucking action movie. And that original score by Jan Hammer is fucking banging.Very cool story.

People like to hurl insults at something like Munich being one of the worst films ever made. Give me a fucking break. if you didn't like it thats one thing-- but there is a lot of awesome well done shit in there.....like the violent ass practical effects and the photography for instance. Ghosts of Mars has not one single good thing going on. The acting is fucking horrid, the story is absolute garbage, it looks like dog shit, the costumes look lame, the original score is pathetic. Seriously not one good thing about the whole fucking thing. In The Mouth of Madness still kicks ass though. I saw that about a year ago. That thing riding the bicycle is still creepy.

And I think it looks fun. The destruction CG looks very well done.

Hopefully it will be a glorious stupid disaster movie done right.I do not want my hopes dashed in this regard again.

I really enjoy the last half hour of that film.Yesterday morning caught the end of Back to the Future 2...it just doesn't have the appeal of the original.

I love all BTTF's equally. They are all equal parts erection, boyhood charm, and Americana.
-
that the first one did for me. Granted, I haven't seen the whole thing in a while...

I actually think part 3 has the most charm. Part 2 has the most ass kicking. I love that ending. Its iconic. When Marty runs back from down the street and Doc is shocked to see him. Takes balls to close it so episodic like that.

Because of the fact that Doc and Marty are in one time the entire film and its a much slower moving plot. I really like 3. I don't understand why people give it shit....or gave it shit. They don't really now. The western era is very well done. They make it just gritty and real enough, but still fun and light hearted. Good balance. I also think its the best acting for all three, Michael J., Lloyd, and Tom Wilson as Biff (Mad Dog). -
Why?

They piss me off so much- listen to this: One thing about being an MP is that you get a second home allowance (could be mortgage interest or rent) for the amount of time that you spend at Westminster. To do this, you have to designate it a second home with the fees office in parliament. They then fork out the dough. Say, hypothetically, you then sell the property, you should, therefore, be liable for Capital Gains Tax on the sale. Yet the dirty fucking bastards are designating it their "main residence" with the revenue- thereby not paying CGT. How is this not fucking Tax evasion?

He far outweighs Lucas in his obsession with technology.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
His whole conquest to rid the world of actual actors on screen makes me sick to my fucking stomach. I remember a few years back he was bragging that he would never make a live action film because the future is in mocap, where a director has limitless power. Well filmmaking isn't about limitless power you dumb fuck. Some of the most pleasant details in a film are accidental or a spontaneous result of the location or adlibbed or whatever. Mocap bullshit is a trend. I can't believe that delusional fuck doesn't understand that. But to say he wishes he always had these tools is such a fucking slap in the face to everything he has done in his career. Yeah a cold lifeless doll eyed Back To The Future is exactly what the world wants. FUCK YOU ZEMECKIS.

Zemeckis? You guys have to watch Used Cars.

It's the sign of an OCD addled control freak. I think Lucas is just as bad though.

Jarv -- they are cracking down on that exact thing....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
.....here in Sacramento. Lots of controversies coming out of that residence allowance bullshit. Shit going down where politicians that actually live local were still trying to get the handout, but they needed to designate a place they were renting to justify the cost. The problem is there were about 5 fucking politicians claiming they were renting the same fucking condo! So they just pocket 2,500 a month from the tax payers of the state with the largest deficit in the country! FUN!!
-
I have no idea how you take a story so magical and turn it into mush. The train stuff was okay....but everything in the North Pole was horrible. Nothing magical about it.
-
Whether you like Hayden or not, thats a preference. Adding him in makes sense. Luke sees Anakin as he was the last time he was himself, before he crossed over to the dark side. Just because you don't like the prequels, doesn't make tightening up that continuity a disrespectful thing. And the difference between Lucas and Zemeckis is that Lucas still has respect for conventional films. Even though he's not making them-- he enjoys small arthouse independent films and raves about what Coppola is doing now and says he's usually watching little low budget indie dramas on his own time. He enjoys those films and wants them to continue to exist. If Zemeckis had his way, every director would be making mocap films. Conventional actors on screen would not exist. He really believes the director requires absolute control. They are very different type people when it comes to the future of film.

Hates Pixar? For making better looking and more realistic films then him, with better acting/performences all just on a computer?
-
Something like minimum wage hasn't increased in a long ass time, but in that same time Senetors have seen a salary increase of $25,000. Because thats fair.
-
They do get better performances. Toy Story has better fucking performances and better motion. i can give a fuck if I blur my eyes and Polar Express looks like real people. FUCK YOU ZEMECKIS. Mocap will never be magical. Its in the uncanny valley territory....your eye doesn't want to see something almost looks real but not quite. Pinocchio felt more real in my fucking heart.

Sure everyone says "wouldn't it be cool if..." but not everyone makes a film on it. And if they do make a film they add a "because."
Saying "wouldn't it be cool to kill a major star like Steven Segal in the beginning of an action star" doesn't make a good movie. Adding a "because then the audience would know anyone can die and it raises the bar on the danger level. Now for once they really might be squirming in there seats wondering if the others will make it out alive."
Roth is a hipster and a douche because he never adds the "because." -

For so many movies? A group of oddball/rejects are assembled to be part of a military unit. They have a tough, no-nonsense commander who trains them and they look like they never will make it and have a series of episodes showing how much of social rejects they are. Then they have a moment were they prove themselves, get a chance to be soldiers and the third act is always them on some sort of mission where they prove themselves.

almost as formulaic as underdog sports movies....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.
-
Except Slap Shot
-
Let's not forget Caddyshack, Strange Brew and The Longest Yard.
-
Are very rare and are usually comedies. Besides the ones mentioned above I can only think of Major League, Bad News Bears, Bull Durham and maybe One on One with Robbie Benson.
Now boxing has a great number of movies about it: Body and Soul, the Set-up, The Champion, The Harder They Fall, Fat City, Rocky, Raging Bull...there is something very cinematic about boxing.
But I thin DGDB was talking mostly about the underdog sports movies - besides Rocky and the Bad News Bears, I could care less about that genre. -
Ping Pong.
-
So that can go on the great list as well.
-
Strange Brew, not funny to me. And I'm a big Rick Moranis fan. Did he die?

as Christian Bale once said "HE DOES NOT GET IT."
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Serious sports movies that people get all hard over to me, are sorta the same as rousing military movies. I JUST DO NOT FUCKING GET IT.
-
I mean who wants to see a movie about the Yankees in the late 90s? Just winning everything and getting more and more money, it would be boring.
-
...his wife died awhile back so he retired from acting to raise his kids. He writes and does occasional cartoon voices.
-
You seen Ping Pong? One of the most interesting sports movies I've seen in a while.
-
Thats sad.
-
Don't worry Danny. Neither genre has done particularly well in recent years, especially military films. I still have yet to see that Marky Mark football movie and I'm from the Philadelphia area.
-
I want to see a movie about the athletes. All good sports movies are about the people who play the game. Which is why boxing has been the best sports genre ever.
Raging Bull is as much about him fighting his own nature as it is about him fighting in the ring. Actually more so. Rocky isn't about winning, it is about proving you are not a loser (exemplified by his relationship with fellow loser Adrian) and Fat City is about being a loser, how some people just self destruct.
Any movie where the big goal is just to win bores the hell out of me. -
Agree, it hasn't held up over the years, but at the time I drank a lot of Canadian beer.
-
....I will say-- that movie was actually very good. I caught it on TV in the middle of the night a few months back. I enjoyed it, and Bernie Mac is surprisingly dramatic a few times. (REST HIS SOUL)
-
I fucking love The Natural. Roy Hobbs! Yeah!
-
but I have yet to see it.
As for The Natural, I like it but I like the ending in the book better. -
Bull Durham. The Longest Yard. Rocky. Raging Bull. etc.......
-
That's the Polish in me.
-
Is really what is being discussed just like any genre movie, be it scfi, biopic whatever. If the filmakers produce an interesting, well made movie that's good more power to them. If they make a boring, one note, cliche filled shitfest that sucksass then it sucks ass, regardles if it's a "sports" movie or a "war" movie or a "romcom"It's not the genre it's the movie.

Soon after the culmination of Rush's Test For Echo Tour on July 4, 1997, Neil Peart's daughter and only child, 19-year-old Selena Taylor, was killed in a single-car accident on Highway 401 near the town of Brighton, Ontario on August 10. His common-law wife of 22 years, Jacqueline Taylor, succumbed to cancer only 10 months later on June 20, 1998. Peart, however, maintains that her death was the result of a "broken heart" and called it "a slow suicide by apathy. She just didn't care."[18]
In his book Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road, Peart writes of how he had told his bandmates at Selena's funeral, "consider me retired."[18] Peart took a hiatus to mourn and reflect, during which time he traveled extensively throughout North America on his BMW motorcycle, covering 88,000 km (55,000 miles). After his journey ended, Peart decided to return to the band. Peart wrote Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road as a chronicle of his geographical and emotional journey. -

I've just finished watching Outlander, a good, fun little movie BTW, but I have a question one of you smart folks might be able to answer.How did a bunch of the fat, angry, unhappy, whinny losers that inhabit AICN TBs not like Outlander and how could be they claim its "cheap" looking?I'm scratching my heads over how the congenital defective nerd virgins came to that conclusion. Outlander is one of the better looking movies I've seen in a looooong time.So any opinions about how the cheeto dust encrusted brigade failed miserably again to have fun with yet ANOTHER movie would be helpful. Thank you for your assitance.

Saturday June 20, 2009
Ian Punnett welcomes James "Jason" Wentworth, who believes he is really a horse living inside a human body. He'll share his story of how he came to understand his condition and his remarkable dealings with other horses.Horsefucker right? If anybody has teh link go back and read it and tell me if I'm wrong.

Who had the tan lines, Janet or Shelia? or is Tommy banging somebody else?

I hope to catch up by the end of the weekend.

Thinking how this has to be one of the more original Disney cartoons I've ever seen. Till about 2/3rds in I realized that it was pretty much the same story as Toy Story 2. Though I still really enjoy it, and its a lot of fun, wish I saw it in the theater.
-
Hasn't been doing it for me this season. Like I like it and think its pretty good, it just has been ok. The Tommy story has been front and center hasn't been that interesting, maybe because all the women in his life have been getting along with him. But none of the side stories are that interesting.
-
He made the cover of the first issue of Disney Adventures in 1990. I still have a copy of that issue. I also have one autographed by Jericho Cane himself.
-
Man I want to see that movie. Its orbit does near me till July though.
-
He's one of those guys I dont think has a particularly recognizable voice when in 'regular' mode, so he didnt bother me. And he voiced it pretty straight, not going nuts with 'character' like the cat and hamster in a ball.
I liked the movie, extremely well made with some fun parts, but kinda forgettable. I also wish I'd seen it in 3d in theater. -
What is it, do you all have lives or something? Maybe I shouldn't work so late into the night.
-
I sort of started checkin out last season but then the last couple of episodes were good so I pulled back in.i agre though, there seems to be something lacking so far this season. Mainly I just watch it for the chick that plays Shiela. She's a good actress and she's hot.
-
You see the site is finally fucking up?

I used to fucking love that magazine/tv guide sized booklet thing. They always had good interviews. I had a subscription for years. Series....would you happen to recall the issue that covered cryptozoology and gave background on The Jersey Devil, Gremlins, and shit like that?

and why I will always loath pulp fiction. If Tarantino hadn't lit a fire under Barbarino's ass he would not have got famous again. So thanks for that Tarantino you jittery asshat.

And have yet to figure out in the years I've been hanging out here is why the fatties and nerds get so bent out of shape when another TBer Likes what they hate; or hates what they like. Glancing at the Down Under collum made me think of that becasue of the Transformer review and the chunky butts are losing thier shit over it.I didn't care for TF1 I was bored to tears and the special effects sucked I thought but I don't care if somebody else likes it. Hell I like some of Bay's other movies, just not that one.Somebody needs to clue the wanna be hippster shutin kids that it's alright for your movie enjoyment scale to have more then two points labled "It Rulz!" or "It suckz!"

That's all. I enjoyed the last one, I'll *OBVIOUSLY* enjoy This one, too. I GET what Mikey Bay is doing. It's so damned ludicrous, he just Goes w/ it, tosses in his Military Fetish and there you are. You make a movie about Giant Robots w/out lapsing into Gundam territory, which will be huge for the anime fans but would turn off most everyone else. Like me, sad to say. Besides, if you wanna talk a Weird movie-ever see The Black Rose w/ Tyrone Powers? You have Orson Welles as a Genghis Khan type(!), you have the Commissioner from the Pink Panther Movies(Herbert Lom) in a one scene cameo as a sheik who runs a caravan. You have Michael Rennie in a two-scene wrap around Cameo as King Edward right outta Errol Flynn's Robin Hood. And you have a great role for Jack Hawkins as Little John(More or Less). This movies is about going to China, doing the Marco Polo thing and invading fabled Cathay, but you don't ever actually SEE them do that, just riding in a desert in a line w/ some matted in smoke rising in the distance. Very, very odd. And to top it off, you have the guy who did the immortal 'Badges-we don't need no stinking BADGES-!' line in 'Sierra Madre', playing a Benny from the Mummy type arab who's lines were all overdubbed by--who else-Peter Sellers(!).... What do you say about something like this? Anyone who bitches about racism in movies now--take a gander at what Welles, Lom and 'Badges'(who was mexican) were doing. It's fun to watch, if a bit slow. And Tyrone Powers-as always, was PROFESSIONAL. Word.
-
I obviously will be pre-disposed to liking the Natural, Field of Dreams, etc. Also highly enjoy the Rookie w/ Dennis Quaid(what is it w/ Hollywood casting 48 year olds to play 35 year old ballplayers-Redford in the Natural and now this? You know we can tell...), Major League(Check Please!) and of course Miracle. I liked Kurt Russell in that.

That article sounds vaguely familiar. I think I throw a bunch of them away a little while back. Just looked it up and they stopped making it back in 2007. My favorite part was the close up game, where they had a really close up picture of something and you had to guess what it was.

American Dream, if anyone is interested. This should only be watched AFTER Harlan County USA. So that you can compare the two and cry. Or if you are more right-leaning in an "I throw my lot in with big business and the wealthy" sort of way, well, I don't know. I'd like to know what you think?
First off, the movies can only be compared in the broad sense. Yes, they're both about striking unions, but that's about where the similarities end. Harlan County has a long history of labor struggle, the people in the film were living under horrendous conditions (no indoor plumbing in the 70's? while living in housing provided by a very profitable company? FUCKED UP) and the strike that's documented is framed by that history.
In Harlan County USA, the miners were striking for a contract. American Dream, on the other hand, documents a very unsuccessful strike against a pretty severe wage/benefit cut at Hormel in the mid-80's. It mostly focuses on the relations between the local that decides to strike, the international that is against that decision, and the outside consultant brought in by the local to bring attention to their cause, as well as to the internal struggles of the strikers themselves as the fight drags on (to scab or not to scab). It's the 80's, so the power of organized labor is on the wane (some would say, under attack), and the previously progressive company is quite content to tell the strikers to fuck off. This, of course, is a vast over-simplification. And that's why this movie KILLS. It's much more ambiguous. The gap between the heartfelt rhetoric expressed by the rank and file and the political conditions of the times (hello Reaganomics!) is devastating, and the strike is rendered as a tragically Quixotic affair.
Unfortunately, the movie is dated by the terrible soundtrack. A shame, especially since the music in Harlan County USA, which draws from traditional regional music and labor songs, plays a big part in telling the story. But that is only natural, as music plays a big part in the culture of that region, and being traditional music, is somewhat immune to the trends of the time.
Wow, really rambling now. Harlan County, USA I would recommend to anyone. American Dream I would more recommend to those that already have an interest in labor history or economics, or to those that were raised by working class families in the 70's or 80's.
Ok. The end! -

Nope, no thanks, not after Crystal Skull what a let down that movie was. I liked Raiders more then Star Wars(SW started it's death spiral with Jedi, fucking Ewoks!) so for me the hit I took over Indy 4 was even deeper then the crap apples that were the prequels.

But are still bitter, sexually frustrated and angry?
-
But not just because i think they are bad movies. It is because I think stuff like that is bad for Hollywood and filmmaking.
There is only X amount of money to make at the movie theaters, only Y amount of money that Hollywood will make invest into movies to be made and only Z amount of screens available. Transformers sucks all of those things up.
That is why I am actually pretty anti-blockbuster mentality. I can understand people liking them, but to me they are just these incredibly inflated monstrosities that devour all the resources, attention and potential investment from other films. I would rather have 10 Mementos, Gran Torinos, Bounds and Reservoir Dogs than one Transformers or Terminator: Salvation. -
They got a fucking add for the remake of the Stepfather on this page.
I'm not saying the Stepfather was a masterpiece, but c'mon show a little respect. Some guys make a nice little low budget horror movie and you guys just have to come along and plunder it. -

i thought it was actually really clever the 'twist' was one of structure. you think it is a story about aliens but it turns out to have almost nothing to do with aliens. it is about fate. i thought that was clever. it was the last of his moives i liked.

that is a good point. i agree.

But the last and only time I'd been kayaking before was at the Outer Banks (my last and only visit there as well). My non-fiction creative writing teacher took a group of us out there for a field trip one weekend, which was awesome. I loved kayaking around the bays so much I started looking into ocean kayaking, possibly starting in Wilmington and kayaking down to Myrtle Beach where my family goes every year. We usually go to Myrtle/North Myrtle but this year my uncle found a good deal for a house for the 8 of us plus four dogs. Had a good time. My back and shoulders will be sore in the morning. You been to the OBX, Xi (as the bumper stickers around here call it)?

Its Edenton, NC. I worked on a movie there and we were told the small town had the highest teen pregnancy rate in the state and the highest STD rate too. Makes sense considering the one high school there is called John Holmes High.

I mean I wouldn't live there, but I did just buy a house there.

I had it on my last DVR but moved before I could watch it, any good? I did however catch that movie with Ferris Buller and Christopher Walken as the drill instructor.

The Taste Of Tea this morning. What a nutty movie. Like I've had it sitting around from Net Flick for 2 months, and I kept trying to watch it and kept falling asleep. So I decided to watch it early and stayed awake. I ended up hating the crap out of it for probably the first hour, but by the end I was won over. I don't think I've ever been able to describe a movie like this before, but it was just so pleasant. I mean I've never seen a movie take this long and give some breadth to this family that you get to know them and when they accomplish their little goals there isn't huge fan fair (save for the sunflower that eats the universe) but you really are happy and overjoyed for them. Its hard to recommend this movie only because you gotta to have patience to deal with the first hour but it makes for one enjoyable experience.
-
yep I've been to the outer banks alot. I like to charter out of Oregon inlet.The reason I cited Jacksonville is because it's outside of Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. I mentioned Columbus GA because it's outside of Ft. Benning.

Anyone remember this movie? I want to see it.

Watching Kings and there was a scene with hospital machine flat lined and made a loud beeping noise, my lady friend thought it was her alarm hahahaha. I think I found my new favorite IMDB reviewer. ma-cortes, maybe English is his second langauge. There is just something off about his writing.
-
Was a great movie, when it came out. I'm not sure if it will hold up or not, I haven't seen it in years. Adam Baldwin was excellent in his role as the "body guard"
-
The film talks about a marine(Keenen Ivory Wayans)condemned on death row but he breaks out and is recruited by a USA General(John Voight) constituting a secret operation group .The objective team is to kill assassins and delinquents and acting as judge,jury and executer preventing traditional law enforcement. However in his first mission happen death of the First Lady and the events led to him .All the forces, Cia(deputies Paul Sorvino and Eric Roberts),Militars(Voight,Eddie Velez) and Police are looking for him and he is attacked and pursued from all sides ,making desperate attempts to escape and even going into an highway with cars driving fast speed in a breathtaking scenes. Film captures the special excitement of the protagonist for the continued pursuits and he can see no way out ,being only helped by a beautiful woman(Jill Henessy)killing's witness.
Picture has maximum suspense,emotion and tension from the subsequents try of the starring to get away and resolve the enigma about the crime.Film is exciting and tense,besides is plenty of action,violence,shoot out, at time brilliant luster and big budget.Although is a standard actioner is fast movement with atmospheric action set pieces and extremely entertained and bemused. Keenen Ivory Wayans(Scary movie,Glimmer man) is a stunningly action hero.Jill Henessy(Crossing Jordan) is enjoyable and attractive).Special mention to John Voight(deliverance,midnight cowboy,Pearl Harbour) as a crazed and evil General in a sensationalistic and overblown interpretation. The movie is rightly directed by David Hogan(better than Barbwire film). The flick will like to action movies fans -
In the military or something, he writes like he is just here to give facts and basics. That review above it actually two paragraphs I forgot to put the paragraph thing in.

It´s a creepy movie, with a twisted end, 31 March 2004 6 stars out of 10
It,s a Horror film of the company Dark Castle,this maked 13ghosts and the ghost ship.Here works Halle Berry that´s beautiful but nuthead. Also works the spanish Penelope Cruz ex-Tom Cruise and Bernard Hill the captain of Titanic. It´s a good spooky film. The picture begins with Berry as a phisician happy married. After is locked in a jail framed to kill his husband. Robert Downey Jr.is the doctor who looks her.Will be him the killer? . Will be Penelope?. Will be the same Berry who in a attack of jealousy murder husband? .In the film there are many shocks an the end has a outstanding surprise. -
Ed Harris? http://tinyurl.com/mb4umy How come I never heard of this movie?

the sergent major is great, i know a guy just like. the lines are awesome. i find it hard to belive that proffessional soliders could start of that shit though. the only thing that fucks me is the rank structure. i think a lance corporal in oz is nothing - what we would call number one digger. a corporal is like our lance corporal and a sergent is like our corporal. so i think i think a gunnery sergent is like our sergent. top digger or nco. our corporals run sections (which we use independently)

This shit's a travesty!
as a concerned mother I'm going to report Aint It Bale news too the F.B.I.!
Shit is retearding kids minds-so the report's headed in on the inretubes-*Unless Our lord Bale fucks my milfy ass*
I'm not just talking the I.R.S. either-we're talking R.I.A.A. unless somethings done immediately about ain't It Bale news!!!
-Mrs. Lord bronco!!! -
Gunnery Sergeants runs the platoon. Gunnery Sergeants are what the US Army refer to as Sergeant First Class.
-
if so, then yes, AIBN thinks it's funny.
-
I'm laughing my ass off at the Martian Manhunter getting the boot from Justice League. That's fucking gold!
Keep up the fucking awesome work, Balers! -
Likely corrupt Government is bad enough, but Protesters deciding that they should turn violent is some real anti-logic. Yeah, you'll save your country by becoming anarchic and - should you succeed - believing violence is the only way to do things.

what soilder takes a new poof mat to war (foam matrise you sleep on)

the war scences in this movie are shit. this started off awesome. the non war scense are great. but the war......cunts glazing each other, bunching up, meandering across roads. please tell me marines don't do this.
-
a gunnery sergent is the same as an occa sergert. mate, piss weak war scenes. it was a crazly good movie up to that, but bunching all togther, lets slowly walk across the fire lane. one metre spacing? great idea.

-Johnny Bench and Mickey Mantle. C'mon can't blame Ark for THAT. They're okay ya know-

I like Congo. Joe Don Baker, Guys in Ape suits, 4 minute Bruce Campbell cameo, Laura Linney w/ a bloo diamond A-Team style ray gun, Ernie Hudson, Tim Curry, etc. What's not too like?
-
And was it-as always-Professional? besides his losing a ton of weight in it-how does it play etc?
-
Not saying its the best course of action, but it sure is drawing a lot of sympathy for the Iranian people.
-
No. Like almost all Hollywood movies they sacraficed any sort of realisim for the needs of the movie. Heartbreak Ridge was nothing more then goofy entertainment. Very goofy entertainment.Congo is another goofily entertaining moovie. It's one of those movies that if I come across on TV I will always stop and watch it.
-
Nothing. Terrible movie.
-
I will admit I have never seen it. I don't like the idea of seeing Mr. Bale in such a weakened state. Though I did read the script, and it is fucking miserable and pointless, yes indeed.
-

I agree about Congo. A damn entertaining film.

The hippo attack is one of my favorites.
-
Brad amazed me by scaring the shit out of me with Session 9, Bale gave an amazing performance. Maybe Scott Kosar = Un Professional, because he wrote the screenplay, and its his first attempt at an original screenplay, everything else he's done is just remakes. Plus at least Brad has made up for it with his last movie, Scott has The Crazies remake on deck to see if that's another poop in the pants of remakes.

The one on the train, Transsiberian. Was actually pretty good. A very Hitchcokian movie.

I always liked the scene where Laura Linney(who was excellent in this movie) and Ernie Hudson leaned out the door of the Douglas C47 and used flare guns as a counter-measure to defeat Stinger
missiles. Plus it had Joey Pants in it. -
Captain Kirk (Shat) story about meeting an Ape? Its pretty fucking funny. If not go to borders and read the first like ten pages of his newest book.

Can someone join me in flaming him? He can't spell, he's homophobic, and he thinks Transformers II is better than the OT Star Wars flicks and Indy 1 - 3 COMBINED!
-
approach the Trannyformers TB. The mere thought of what those gentlemen & gentlewomen might be saying about young Shya LeBeef fills me with trepidation.As far as Tranny 2 is concerned - I think it is the finest motion picture I have ever seen, even better than SS Camp Women's Hell.
-
So I'd agree w/ Griffin's Peter that it's a Good movie(TM) despite it's Bayesque overindulgences-- but to say it's better than Star Wars '77 is silly.
-
Was quite entertaining, but to be frank I'd had enough after about 90-100 mins. Shorter, Mr Bay, shorter - stick the long version on DVD. And I'm all for farting 'formers and leg humping 'formers.In fact, with the leg humping 'former I must say I was startled into a surprised laugh and was most apologetic afterwards.
-
A young lady ran off with my Machinist DVD. She's had it for 2 years, the minx. I shall be forwarding a stern e-mail in her direction in the very near future.I liked the film, though Mr Bale's physiology was... oh, I'll have to say it... distracting.
-
Just bought the DVD. It was cheap. I recall Jonah Echo talking about it. Or maybe HOD? Anyway, they said it was a good film. So I snapped up a bargain. I hope.

-
I turned it down for a chance to go to the Public Enemies Premiere After Party.
I hope I get in so I am able to meet Bale in person if he is there and see if he has ever seen or heard of Baleback Node 39984 or AIBN. I also want to be able to smell his god musk up close. -
I would never try to do anything to you unless I was absolutely sure I could get away with it, or if I felt it was absolutely necessary to preemptively strike before you do a Stalin-esque purge of your cult followers (and don't pretend that isn't what you are planning).
-
How about a little column afterwards that we'll put up on AIBN. "Guest columnist Continetalop Shreds Public Enemies Premiere"
-
I am only going to the after party, not the premiere (but trying to go to that as well), and I sill waiting to hear back if I am 100% sure I will get into the party.
But if I do go and Bale is there, I will definitely send you something. I am hoping I can go up to him and ask him if he has ever heard of Stuntcock Mike, Abominable Snowcone, DANNGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD, Ain't It Bale News and Baleback.
Best case scenario: He says "Those guys are fuckin' professionals."
Worst case scenario: He says "Who was the fuckin' amateur who wrote those shitty PROFESSIONAL stories? Those were fuckin' distractin'!"
Most likely scenario: He doesn't answer my question and has security throw me out. -
He lets on that his next project involves "Giant Robot Lions" and the name 'Bay' is prominently mentioned. Not sure about that coming about though...
-
Have him hold up a piece of paper with "I BELIEVE IN AIBN" hand written on it. But tell him not to smile.
-
a cracking good escape route. Bale can be kind, he can also be......unkind. Take a picture of the Men's room or something. It doesn't have to be Bale. Better yet, take a pic of the buffet table.
-
He should be okay with that right??
-
He is, after all-as we all know-Professional.

Holy fucking shit...did you see that wolf transformation in New
by dannyglovers_dickblood
trailer? FUCK!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!! Thats all I can say. It looks like a transformation from a film made in 1994. Jesus fucking Christ I can't believe that effect was approved, for a trailer!
-
my favorite movie of that genre is "The Howling". How about you Danny? Your Best?Worst?
-
I was just looking through some horror movies, wondered if anyone knew anything about them? Scarecrows, The Zombie Diaries, Special Dead and Meatball Machine??? Anyone?
-
and I don't get HBO so I haven't seen True Blood either.
-
Can't help you out there.
-
Of course American Werewolf is the obvious choice....but I would say my favorite is Monster Squad. I thought the transformation in the phone booth was incredibly effective. Its fast and violent. I love the milky shit squirting out of the guys mouth as he screams "HEEEEEEEE'S GONNA KILL YOUR SON!!" to the cop/dad on the phone.
The inflatable face gag is well done.
And the fact that he breaks the fuck out of the phone booth when he's done is a killer touch. I also thought the guy that played the him had a very good classic wolfman skip sorta thing going on. -
Jun 22, 2009 12:35:54 AM CDT
but seriously.....that effect in NEW MOON....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...is the big money shot of the teaser. All effects resources should have been dedicated to making that shot work. I understand a shitty effects house doing a film and putting out mediocre work, but come on....make one fucking shot look good at least.
-
Haven't seen that in a while, time for a revisit. Cursed?
-
1) That I get to go to this party (still waiting to hear about confirmation).
2) That Bale is there.
3) That I am allowed to approach and talk to him.
4) That he is in a good mood.
5) And if he is not, that my sphincter heals rapidly after he tears me a new one for being unprofessional in his presence. -
Save for maybe Scarecrows. Either it is about a bunch of scarecrows who somehow come to life or the Gene Hackman/Al Pacino movie was but in the wrong bin.
-
but the target audience is 13 year old girls. All they want to see is Edward with hes shirt off.
-
Old movies: Werewolf in London when the guy slowly changes when he walks behind each pillar. Creepy and effective.
"Modern" werewolf transformation: Company of Wolves had some real elaborate and original werewolf transformations (one of which was stolen by fuckin' VAN HELSING).
Favorite werewolf movie: The Howling. Good call DrMorbius. -
Jun 22, 2009 12:45:34 AM CDT
But Edward never even has his fucking shirt off in the teaser!

-
The scene with Dee Wallace at the porn booths, the happy face sticker and....Eddie!And the elder Carradine in one of his final roles! Horror and Humor.And Danny I appreciated the link.
-
I liked it, but realize this, it's super low budget and sometimes it showed. You can definantly see where they were saving up the cheddar for the money shots.TZD shared some of the same ideas as Romero's Diary of the Dead but I thought TZD handled the material much much better. One sort of major problem I had with TZD was the sound quality. It's an English production and most of the actors are either English or Scottish so the accents sometimes were tough to understand.In the interest of full disclosure I was watching the movie on one of the crappy TVs I had bought to bring along with me and my boys when we were taking holiday in southern Africa last summer. The tinny sounding speakers did not help at all, so I think that was a major contributor to the sound problems I experienced.
-
The Howling is a horror movie so rich you can keep going back to it and get more out of it each time. I love how so many characters are named after a director of a werewolf movie.
Plus an awesome cameos by Roger Corman and Forrest J. Ackerman.
And -
I was saying that weeks ago during the MTV Movie Awards TB. Its just laughable. Shouldn't an angry werewolf defending its female love interest be snarling and foaming at the mouth and trying to look fucking scary?
-
What was up with the part, when fleeing the Colony they inserted that 3 second stop motion clip of the werewolves kind of dancing around a little?
-
Seems the tweeners don't care about such things.At Comic Con last year the whole cast was at one panel and it was non stop screaming the whole time! Kind of funny and sad at the same time. My ears still haven't recovered!
-
But damn, you expect the filmmakers to at some point!
-

Good luck on your Bale/Party misssion. Vaya con dios mi amigo and remember we're all counting on you.Now about the cult thing. I will only use the Stalinist purge technique if I am threatened, challanged, if somebody tries to usurp my postion or any day that ends in a Y or if I'm bored. Other then that the purge hammer will remain safely in the tool box.
-
I saw some fat read neck goth who already had a movie t-shirt at the ball game this weekend. I want one now too! So I can be cool on casual fridays!
-
And its still funny as shit. I see they are making a 3rd one. Good for them.
-
This weekend I read Coraline- and it's fucking good, if a bit creepy for kids. I actually want to see it now.
-
Beats the shit out of Diary of the Dead. Is it a good film? No. It's OK at best. Xi is absolutely right, the sound is annoying as fuck, because they blatantly had no money and filmed it on a home video recorder. The last act drags something terrible as well.
-
I mean we can all sit here and complain about Twilight, but we really are not the target audience. It is like criticizing an Bollywood Musical - we can laugh and say it is cheesy and stupid, but we aren't illiterate villagers in the state of Maharashtra, so are opinion of it is completely irrelevant.
As for the werewolf transformation being weak, well lets be honest young girls don't want this to be "really" scary, they want this to be "pretend" scary. It is the difference between a werewolf in the Wolfman vs. one in an Abbot and Costello movie. -
fuck knows what's wrong with them. OUTLANDER is an entertaining little movie about Vikings killing an Alien. What's not to like? And Jesus' flashback looks spectacular so they can all just fuck off. You know for a fact that the first time they stare at that hooker's pussy that their long-suffering parent's rented for them in sheer desperation, the first thing to come out of their mouths will be "it doesn't look like that in porn".
-
and they devour this twilight shit- however, the smart ones are really, really rude about it. They know it's complete and utter mince and the paedo werewolf thing is gross, but are swept up in the fad. By the time they hit 13 they will have moved on. If the studio wants to make money off this, then they'd better hurry up and bang out all 4 in double time, because they've only got about 18 months left.
-
9am meeting to go to. Yawn. See you soon.
-
If I get a chance I'll pitch Bale on my idea for a movie called "Xiphos", about a marine SSgt who comes back to his New Mexico hometown which lies on the border and sees it overrun with drug dealers, so he gathers some of his marine buddies to help him hit their base and rob them blind, which he dubs “Operation: Xiphos”. Bale is the returning Marine, Sofia Vergara is the girl he beds, Danny Trejo is the drug dealers number one enforcer, Wings Hauser is the corrupt county sheriff, and Eli Wallach is tough old hermit (kind of like Obi-Won but always pissed and bitter and vulgar).
Hopefully that will lead to the inevitable sequel "Xiphos_2" where he takes on a cult.
-
and dull. Fucking lions lost on saturday. Mostly because of a shit ref, and the fact that they didn't wake up until far too late.
-
But in hindsight it doesn't sound that bad. I might actually pitch it to him. Get Nolan or Mangold or Tony Scott to direct.
I'm gonna demand least half-a-million for it, and that Xiphos gets to be technical advisor. Plus an 8-ball for each of us. -
I'd watch that.
-
I do respect him for doing coke off of hot girls' asses. If that isn't quintessential Hollywood, I don't know what is.
-
I'm excellent at bag-carrying and willing to procure drugs at a moments notice.
-
Lets fucking make big demands. Jarv is music supervisor AND coke procurer.
-
Tomorrow we'll hear how Eli Roth is making a movie called "Xiphos." Just wait and see.
-
I'm good with music compiling. One of my underutilised special skills that I used to do for a living.
-
then I suggest we all pool our money and hire a hitman.
-
I watched 12 Rounds and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. 12 Rounds is enjoyable, but fuck me John Cena looks fucking ridiculous when he runs. Imagine a GIANT PIG perched up on his hind legs and trying to run at pace. 12 Rounds is basically a highlight reel of every action movie you can think of. To name but three, it's Die Hard 3, Speed and Metro all rolled into one. The script is terrible, the acting is terrible and Renny's direction really feels like it's trying to ape Tony Scott. That said, I quite enjoyed it for what it was. SF: Fucking unbelievably shit. And it actually has nothing to do with SF apart from character names. If it wasn't for Chris Klein I wouldn't have finished it. He was fucking hilarious. I don't know if he was doing it intentionally or not (I hope so, because that would put it in genius territory and procure him a lifetime pass in my book), but it's probably one of the most memorable performances I've seen in a while. It really is genius, and the flick is only worth watching because of it. No other reason. At all. Right. I've got loads of work to do. I'll check back in later.
-
We should all pool our money and hire a hitman anyways.

People get REALLY worked up about her for some reason. It's just another venal grab for attention or whatever ala Herkimer's idiotic Amazon.com links. Whatever dudes.
-
is that it isn't AICN content, and it's something that totally alienates the vast majority of readers. It's not suitable for here- aside from the fact that it's so fucking amateur as to be wretched- and it's a blatant attention grab by a woman neither talented enough or attractive enough to merit the attention. Not that any of the lying cheeto-dust smeared (thanks xi) virgins would kick her out of bed for eating the aforementioned artificial cheese flavoured snack. But that's neither here nor there.

But I will accept the part about me being a cuntish layabout. You have got me to a T there, droid.And I like Seth Green. That little fellow is funny.
-
Is it out on DVD?It's true, I do like me some shit, but I don't know that I can handle the twin acting vacuums that are Chris Klein AND Kristen Kreuk in one film. That seems like a little too much to take, like getting punched in the face while also getting punched in the balls. I mean, maybe I can take one of either, but both at once? I don't know...
-
The chick who plays Chun Li is fucking awful, as is everyone else but Chris Klein gives a tour de force of awesomeness that has to be seen to be believed.
-
All that waiting for Lucifer to show up and fight the funny one, and all I get is some glowing light and the end credits? Ripped right off.Fuck cliffhangers! (not fuck Cliffhanger, though - that film is alright)
-
You used the phrases 'Chris Klein' and 'awsomeness' in the same sentence, and not in any kind of derogatory sense. My head hurts.Was he really awesome? Or was he 'awesome'?
-
She is offering me the chance to stay for tea and watch the film with her.I don't know, man.On the one hand - Free meal of some sort. On the other - Twilight.Still, I haven't seen this Twilight Jarv seems to hate so much. Maybe I should watch it. Maybe it's mint. I liked Buffy, and that had vampires and teenagers in it. Maybe I will also like this Twilight. Plus, you know, free meal.I am at some kind of crossroads here.
-
He's not in it until about 30 minutes in... During that time I was seriously considering turning it off... As soon as he turns up I was laughing my ass off. It's fucking amazing. Every single scene he's in is genius. You miss him when he's not in the scene. Intentional or not, that adds up to awesome in my books.
-
Possibly the dumbest sack of shit ever to set foot on AICN.
-
Fuck yeah. Thats awesome. I regret not catching that in the theater. I heard from a friend the crowd was going nuts, laughing and clapping the entire damn time.

Alright, I'll keep an eye out for this Street Fighter
by franklin t marmoset
I do hate Kristen Kreuk, though. Really hate her. Whenever she was onscreen during an episode of Smallville I wanted to throw things at the telly and only didn't do it because I like that telly and don't want it damaged on account of that talentless, hateful little cow.
-
Much like the chicken wire around the stage the Blues Brothers played on.That way, I could chuck whatever I liked and not worry about damage. The protective wire would have to be left in place at all times, because you never know when you're going to be watching something on telly and - suddenly, out of the blue - there's an advert for that show with Jordan and Peter Andre, and at times like that you somply HAVE to chuck something at the screen. It's like an involuntary reflex or somesuch.
-
That is not a word.I don't think so, anyway.That should be 'simply'.

Other hilarious things about Street Fighter...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
The story makes so little sense that you stop following it and just kick back and watch Kleins performance Neal McDonough who plays Balrog puts on THE weirdest, most distracting clipped accent I've ever heard. I have no idea what that accent was supposed to be. The younger actors in the flashbacks look absolutely NOTHING like the normal actors. The first young Chun Li looks 100% asian, the middle Chun Li looks 100% american and Kreuk is a combo of the two. And the young Balrog looks like Gary Busey!

McG therefore owes me £7.50. I'm prepared to let the additional £4.50 I spent on a Diet Pepsi slide(since the Diet Pepsi was actually good) but I want my ticket money back.You owe me, McG! £7.50!!

Shooting in practical New York subways was a baaaaaaaaad fucking move. Could have easily shot that on stage. Especially considering the fact that the fucking train was just sitting there not moving half the movie. FUCK.

Stupid, yes. But I found them amusing.

Walk Hard no. Just didn't like it.

You said a friend of yours who was a girl saw it or something and was confused by it. I don't remember it exactly but it was fucking hilarious.
-
May suck, haven't seen it. But those guys first film, NBT: Never Been Thawed is a fucking great mockumentary. I love that movie.
-
Jun 22, 2009 10:22:11 AM CDT
If you attempted to follow the story in Street Fighter
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
then yes, you would be very confused. I have no fucking clue what the hell it was about. All I know is that Chris Klein is an absolute legend now.
-
Finally a reason to be interested in that movie.
-
Is a lot like Diary of the dead? Hmm I actually enjoyed Diary of the Dead, so I shall check it out.
-
She asked me "Have you heard of this movie Street Fighter?" I sorta played dumb to see how she took it. She explained she wasn't quite sure if it was a comedy or not. I asked "How do you not know?" She said it was kinda serious at times, but it was actually one of the funniest films she had seen in awhile. I asked about Klein. She said he was cool, but she thinks he sorta supposed to be a tough guy.....and that didn't really work. And then she said the most amusing scene in the film was a lesbo scene. She said, "Its pretty hot....but its also kind of funny."
-
Jun 22, 2009 10:54:14 AM CDT
the funny part was....she seemed genuinely perplexed....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...by what she had seen. She did that thing when you're not doing a good job of telling a funny story because you keep stopping and laughing at the visuals going through your head, and the person listening is getting annoyed and asking "What?!....what?"
-
You just have to be enough of a dick in the cinema. I do it in the odeon. They aren't vampires in Twatlight, frank. So therefore the Buffy comparison falls down. "You are drawn to absolute shit like a paedo to daycare"= Funniest thing I've seen in ages.
-
Much better than Diary of the dead. Reason being? Main character wasn't a complete fuckhead in dire need of killing. Mrs. Jarv actually cheered out loud when he bought it in Diary.
-
Jim Carrey somehow became anti-comedy again and again.
-
I think he's seriously fucking ill. I wouldn't be surprised to discover that the poor fucker had come down with HIV- He looked like absolute shit in the Hellraiser making of feature on the DVD I saw and he looks like he was hit by the Midnight Meat Train. He sounds terrible as well.
-
I like the original. Carrey isn't fit to score Segal's coke.
-
Balrog's the boxer. And I hear that even though Bison's parents died when he was a baby and he was raised in Thailand, he still somehow grows up to have an Irish accent? Awesome.
-
frankly. I always thought of Bison as a half Indian pikey.
-
Jun 22, 2009 11:53:08 AM CDT
Balrog and M. Bison are the same character....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...depending on which country the game was released in.
-
Jun 22, 2009 11:59:01 AM CDT
So weird how they used Bison twice though....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Balrog was the boxer in the American version, named Mike Bison to parody Mike Tyson in international version. And M. Bison is the Raul Julia guy, called Vega in the international versions. But I seem to also remember another character named Vega in a later Street Fighter game. What the fuck? Why do they recycle the same fucking names?
-
So, I just woke up and I'm in my usual, morning newspaper-driven frenzy.
Was hoping that, if you've got a few minutes free at some point, maybe some of the Brits and Canadians could let me know their opinions about the health care they get.
menstrual_blitz@yahoo.com -
Is it cool if I email pics of myself in compromising poses?
-
...you mean like a conciliatory handshake after a negotiation of sorts?
Of course. -
the NHS is variable. There's no denying it. For basic shit, it is, frankly, fucking useless. If you want an NHS dentist (not recommended unless Marathon Man gives you a hard on)then the chances of getting one are extremely fucking limited. I get mine in Spain- it's cheaper and she gives me drugs. However, and this is where the NHS is un-fucking-beatable, if you have a serious accident, or something gets badly fucked up it sorts you out brilliantly. Do not believe the scare mongering about MRSA or any of that. I just want to dispel a few myths: 1)It isn't free. You pay for it in taxes and NI. 2)It is a bureaucratic mess. I worked for it for a while and it's fucking disgrace. There's far too many pointless cunts being paid far too much 3)General Practitioners- it's difficult and time consuming to get in to see one, and they tend to be both useless and booked out- however, if you're prepared to wait for a bit, a trip to Accident and Emergency will get you seen after a bit of a wait, and you'll be done pronto. Moore is full of shit about it.
-
wow. I've discovered something new today.
-
....but it basically only works for emergency coverage? Hhhhmmmm....maybe our system is better.
-
Why the fuck is basic care so difficult to sort out? Is there a shortage of general practitioners over there as well?
So, they'll help you out once you're terribly sick with the cancer that a regular doctor would've caught had you the opportunity to see one before it became unmanageable? Awesome.
At the same time, it still sounds better than here. Just not better in exactly the way I had hoped. -
I wonder what he was called internationally. Logan?
-
Our rate of taxes isn't actually that high- Me and Mrs. Jarv are far from loaded but pay roughly 30% tax and NI which isn't painful. It isn't that much higher than state+federal tax in the US.
-
And Michael Clarke Duncan is Balrog. I confused them because they are in every single scene together (and hated each other apparantly) and I was paying so little attention I didn't know which is which. I need a spinoff flick just about Chris Kleins character. Make it so!
-
the NHS is fucking superb if you've got a serious and chronic illness- especially with rehabilitation. My old man has nothing but praise for it after his stroke. You can also get private insurance if you want, and Mrs. Jarv being a good American looked into this, and came to the conclusion that she may as well use the NHS. It destroys the current national embarrassment that is the American system. Warts and all.
-
Jun 22, 2009 12:31:22 PM CDT
Yeah. What about something big like cancer treatment....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...or brain surgery or something. What is the NHS coverage for that?
-
Jun 22, 2009 12:32:50 PM CDT
There is nothing wrong with the American system...
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...if you have good coverage provided by your work place.
-
there isn't particularly a shortage, it's just difficult to get one. The problem is one of snobbery in hospital medicine. On that note, I'm off.
-
Like with a regular doctor's visit or surgery or hospital stays? Any further charges?
-
tell that to the millionaires here, always clamoring for a tax cut, who only pay slightly more than that (35%) in federal taxes.
-
I've used goverment run health care for twenty years and I would say that the Medical care in the armed forces is great, If you get shot or blown up like I have other then that, I buy my own health insurnce and go to civilian doctors for everything else. For anything that is not an emergent care situation it's fucking useless and don't get me started on the VA system. Some places like in Phoenix or San Diego the VA hospitals are great. Other places its better to go to a witch doctor have him kill a chicken, give you a poltice of rhino horn and bat guano and have him do a dance. It would be healthier.
-
With your penchant for Kristen Kreuk, have you ever seen EURO TRIP? She has a small part at the beginning of the movie"Scotty doesn't know.....
-
Good point. Vets ought to be getting top-notch care. It is fucking shameful when they don't.
-
Who the hell told you the secret ingredients to my super-virility potion recipe? I'll never get Toad to swallow it again now. Thanks, Xiphos. ;p
-
Tricare is the shit!
-
The second day we moved to England. My parents told me to sleep on it because they had no idea about british hospital. Finally I was like, its not getting better. We went to the hospital and it was very easy.
-
Who else is looking forward to that? And was that Joseph Mazzello, young Tim from Jurassic Park, all grown up as a soldier in that trailer?
-
I can't wait. We all know here that I'm one of the few that really enjoys the first (Sal might be the only other one), so honestly, the only people that could really get upset about this film are him and me. Everyone else who hates the first film, well, I doubt you'll see the 2nd (why would you?) and if you do, you shouldn't be surprised when you don't like it. But for people like me, this can only get better or worse. Hopefully its better. I just hope I'm not disappointed. I'll leave you with a review later this evening. Nash out.

I remember reading a story about how the guy who played Bison lost a bet to Michael Clarke Duncan and he never payed up or something and then they got into a fistfight. Some shit like that, I can't remember.
-
although there were soldiers in the Pacific theater of operation this time out the beard and the chins are focusing on the Marine Corps.
-
Here's that story....hilarious.
Actors MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN and NEAL MCDONOUGH fell out on the set of their new action movie STREETFIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN LI after a basketball spat got out of hand.
The two stars spent the final three weeks of the shoot refusing to speak to one another outside of scenes in which their characters had dialogue together.
The Green Mile star Duncan recalls, "He was my only buddy and we got so mad at each other playing basketball one evening that we stopped speaking to each other for the rest of the shoot."
The pair recently patched up their differences in time for their promotional duties.
Duncan adds, "When we saw each other for the press day we were like, 'What did we do that for?' I was so miserable without him in Bangkok. I had nobody to be with."
And the heavyweight star admits basketball wasn't the only thing he and McDonough quarreled about: "He loaned me, like, 2,000 Bahts, which is like 15 bucks, and he made a big deal about me not paying him back on time... We argued a lot." -
I thought it was a general term. Thats odd....why don't they call the members of the Army -- Armies.
-
And then some. Mikey Bay never changes. Big Robots, Little Robots, lotsa things going BOOM! etc. Much fun. About Devastator's Gnads--I did manage to nail Jarv's friend-w/ this little subject heading in another TB: Devastator's got Balls-Asimov Lives-Doesn't. Even PaZoozoo liked that one.
-
1. If you're going to demote me at least make me a Gunnery Sergeant. It sounds cooler when guys get all panicky sounding and say "what are we going to do Gunny?"2. I'm from Arizona not New Mexico. AZ is the bigggest zone for all types of smuggelling and has much cooler looking scenery it would be better to shoot there.3. As for compensation you and Jarv can split the 8 ball, all I want is to get paid in cash preferably in a plainj brown paper bag.4. Sofia Vergara is hot and has starred in many of my in head movies during "private time."
-
All there is to it.
-
-Blood and Sand-where he's a Bullfighter and ridges Rita Hayworth, and Jesse James, where he's made to be a Robin Hood type(!), Henry Fonda plays Frank. Both are good. I hadn't seen much of his stuff-Power I mean-so it was good to get a lookie there. Errol Flynn time.
-
The word Soldier is what a member of the US Army is refered to as. It doesn't matter which branch of the Army you are all universally refered to as soldier.The word Marine means you are a member of The United States Marine Corps.The Marine Corps and the Army are two seperate and distinct branches of the Armed service and the titles are not interchangable.Now, for me, since I've been in both branches I don't get all that bent over somebody getting the difference wrong. Some of my more wilder bretheren do take offense so it's not the best thing to do in the world to confuse the names.
-
So much for the edit feature there Harold.
-
Gets slagged badly but I donno why. It was entertaining enough and while it was more Mad Max to my thinking than anything else-well sorta, w/ a Big Robot-it was still pretty good. McG outdid himself actually.
-
used to be the white trash capital of the world. Not so much anymore.
-
-right there on Andy Devine Blvd-
-
Or is anybody else disinterested in everything in the top 10 list?
-
Izzat another Band of Bros thing but set in say Tarawa, Saipan, Bougainville, Iwo Jima, etc?
-
I believe the actual old world meaning behind the word 'SOLDIER' is in reference to someone who is paid to serve. I didn't realize it had an American specification.
-
Remember the term comes from the historical fact that marines used to serve as the military forces aboard a ship, and later as part of amphibious assault forces. Marines historically serve under the Navy, and as such are called marines to differentiate them and the sailors aboard a ship. See "Master and Commander" for how the marines used to operate.
Even though Marines no longer function as a completely amphibious combat unit and are no longer under the Navy, the still like to view themselves as a completely different profession than everyone else. So just as those in the Navy prefer to be called sailors, and someone who fly in the Air Force prefers to be called a pilot or a crewmen, a marine likes to be called a marine as a sign of respect that he is unique and different from a regular army soldier. -
don't fall under Navy? When did that happen?
-
AZ it is. I thought for some reason you said NM, but I guess I was mistaken. AZ is better anyways -more drugs and I believe the state still gives a pretty big tax credit for filming there.
As for Bale's rank, I was going make him a Gunnery or Master Sergeant but I just had trouble seeing Bale as that. He is still a little to young looking in my opinion (doesn't it normally take like 10-13 years to become E-7 in the Marines?). If you think he looks like he could be a GySgt or a MSgt I will promote him.
Also I think we will need more than just Sofia Vergara for the movie. There should also be at least a female rival for Bale's love, a hot victim chick (like in a Bond movie) and the bad guys should have some hot chick with them as well. Casting will take place in my bedroom. -
Yep the words have very very specific meaning but it's just not in America. The UK, Russia and other countries have Marine services and they make the same distinction. Seriously, try to tell a Royal Marine that he is a soldier and he'll probably haul off and slug you one(I've sen this). Same thing with the Russian black Sea Marines(they are who make up most of the Spetnaz) They will probably beat your ass something fierce.
-
But in the military leadership structure they are their own branch. I just meant the are not part of the Navy as historically the term marine has meant a infantryman who serves aboard a ship for the navy, not as someone who is part of a separate branch in the military.
-
So at this point it's more just a funding/administration kind of affiliation...(?)
-
The basic defintion of the word "Marine" means Naval infantry. That to diferentiate from ground Infantry beacuse Marines served aboard Ships and had a different set of objectives. Every single US Navy Man of War at sea at this moment has a Marine detachment on board.Continentalop The US Marine Corps is, unfortunantly, do to a grave error committed by the Continental Congress, in still under the thumb of the US Navy. In reality it should be the other way around. The Navy only exist to get Marines to and support Marines in combat. Oh and to keep bell bottoms alive that's the other thing they do.
-
I will be honest, the entire relationship between the Marines and the Navy has always been confusing to me. I think they got further and further away because of the responsibilities of the two branches have become wider apart (not much water in Afghanistan so you really don't need the Navy there but you would like the Marines to go).
-
You got to admit they are awesome.
-
Continentalops is a bit off. The Marine Corps is part of the Navy. We have a seperate command structure yes but the Navy controls the money and lot's of policy.
-
You know-your boat sinks, and you wade to shore.....
-
They're on the ground with Marines.
-
Jun 22, 2009 7:03:33 PM CDT
Actually, why is the Navy still controlling Marine policy?
by continentalop
As I mentioned above, what fucking ocean is in Afghanistan? I can see sending the SEALS in there, but from what I have read they actually are unprepared for some of the things they encounter there (and that isn't knocking the SEALS, just saying they are trained for different scenarios from what I have read).
But the Marines are far from being just a Naval Infantryman and an Amphibious unit nowadays. They are literally are chief expeditionary warfare unit - the guys you send overseas to fight. They really should be there own branch nowadays. It doesn't make sense to me to have a group of guys who can fight in mountains, desert or jungles have to be under the thumb of a group of people who can't do anything unless they can reach port. -
Just saying that the two branches have two completely different purposes nowadays. They don't have as much mission overlap as they once did.
-
I worked for a gov't program that administered certain benefits to federal employees that occasionally brought me to the pentagon, and though the Marine Corps was a separate classification on the application, we had to enter them into the system as Navy for billing purposes. That's why I wondered if it had changed.
On a separate note, you'd be amazed at how many contractors working in top-secret DOD programs will just blatantly write what program they work for on their applications (applications that also include tons of personal information) rather than just check the generic box marked "DOD-Other". -
The Navy is politically powerful were as the Marine Corps is not. One of the main reasons they get away with it is that the Navy claims that since the Marine Corps is so small the Navy infrastructre is better suited to handling the needs of the Corps, thus leaving us focused on fighting. Its much more cost effective that way, that's all BS of course.The other card the Navy plays is that it's always been that with the Navy being the boss. The Marine Corps, to a certain extent, goes along with that thinking. Any Commandant that has raised the issue of being a seperate organiztion has gotten knocked down for doing so.
-
Knocking the Navy. It's one of my most favorite things in the world to do.
-
It is a 1960s comedy by Arthur Hiller, written by Paddy Chayefsky and starring James Garner and Julie Andrews. The only reason I bring it up is that the scenario of that movie is a little bit like the problem you are talking about:
An Admiral is worried that the Navy is going to be overshadowed by the D-Day invasion by the Army (an amphibious assault, which is usually done by the Marines), and afraid that after the war the armed forces will be restructured so that the Navy won't be as powerful as before. So he this Admiral hatches a plan to have James Garner, a Navy officer and dog-robber extraordinaire, be the first casualty on D-Day so the Navy can get the credit and be used as a symbol of bravery. The problem is that Garner is a huge coward.
It is damn funny (James Coburn is in it too and he is hilarious in it if I remember right), and it reminds me of this discussion about how the Navy seems to be always worried about there position in the armed forces. -
but sounds like something the Navy would do.
-
Pretty much-brothers, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. But there IS that second cousin who is retiring this year as a full bird colonel in the Marines, so-there ya be.
-
Almost as bad as Okies! But nothing is as bad as Okies. I fuckin hate Oklahoma! Conti I made E7 in 11 years. Bale is not too young. Just think if he entered the service at 18. If dude was squared away, he could hit E7 in 11 or 12 years.
-
otherwise, The Village People would have sang 'In The Marines', not 'In The Navy'.
-
It's the easiest to spell out on the dance floor at weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.

I thought soldiers referred to every member of the armed forces and that marines were just a specific division.
-

I think the news says 'soldiers' for all military.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
I'm pretty sure they use that word when referring to casualties.
-
It was entertaining, just what I was expecting, though I was a bit disappointed in some areas. I didn't feel the same at the end of this movie as I did at the end of the first. It will take me another viewing to finalize my thoughts. Some things were handled much better in this one than in the first, and then some things were done worse. The robot action and the battles are bigger, badder, and easier to follow. Unfortunately, some of the humor is crasser and there are some scenes that are ruined and made cheesy by poor song choice for the background music. The forest battle is awesome. Soundwave is awesome. Megatron and Starscream's relationship and dynamic is *vastly* improved and it made me smile every time I watched them argue. The twins are pretty offensive. I wouldn't have been surprised to see them pick up a watermelon and start snacking on it, or to talk about how they wished they could find some fried chicken. Severely lacking Jon Voight. The bad humor moments were made even worse because we had some idiot kid sitting behind us who probably suffers from Azberger's and felt the need to loudly and over dramatically laugh at every joke and gag whether he understood it or not. This made for a very aggravating experience as it was often hard to hear the lines of dialogue that followed. Pissed me off to see the parents not giving a damn that their obnoxious kid was annoying the entire theater. Some Transformers' personalities are annoying (the Twins), others are entertaining (the remote control toy truck). I like that, for the most part, the 'bots have a more distinct personality. Some may not like that they seem too human, but that's how they were in the cartoon, as I recall. Shia LeBeouf does really well, especially in one scene early on where he's freaking out in front of the classroom. That's all I can think of for now. Oh, Devastator's balls: I honestly thought it would be a subtle "did you see that?" sorta sight gag. Instead it was made into an obvious and verbal joke. Though, surprisingly, some of my friends didn't even notice them until a character referenced the balls, and they were huge and clanging into each other for a full 8 seconds it felt like.

From an ABC News article: A Marine officer, suspecting foul play or terrorism on the recent presidential visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, raised a security alarm after one of his men went missing for more than six hours, U.S. government sources tell ABC News.
The missing staff sergeant was a maintenance specialist assigned to the Marine One Presidential Helicopter detail. After a night out drinking with fellow Marines, the specialist "left his hotel on the back of a moped driven by a local national without telling anyone," a Marine Corps spokeswoman confirmed to ABC News.
U.S. government sources with knowledge of the incident said Vietnamese police were then called in to aid the Marines in a citywide manhunt. They temporarily shut down two popular bars in an intense effort to locate the missing soldier without success.------------So the media does use soldier as a generic term sometimes. -
Blame the media! The liberal media elite who are trying to confuse real Americans!

It begins with a recurring dream where he is standing in a field of wavin' wheat with Shirley Jones. He leans in for a kiss, the wind comes sweepin' down the plains, he opens his eyes...

The tax rate I'm talking about is all-in (with the exception of council tax which is just fucking evil and should be got rid of)- there is no equivalent of state taxes. The total State+Federal tax in America is the same as our income+NI. Top rate of tax all in is 40%. So they may be paying 30% in Federal taxes but the "real" deduction is about the same as ours. We aren't taxed to the hilt to pay for the NHS, there's plenty of savings that can be made in the budget without touching it.There are no further charges, and if you do what I do and get antibiotics from A&E you can even pay prescription charges later- but as it is only about £7 per ticket you may as well pay on the spot. Mrs. Jarv virulently disagrees with the American system. She had healthcare when she worked in San Fransisco and one of her co-workers (with the same healthcare) was shunted around hospitals until they found one that the insurer was happy with. The NHS, for all it's sins- of which there are plenty, fucking thrashes any private healthcare system. I also have to point out that if you do want to get private insurance, then there is nothing stopping you- my workplace provides it if I want- which I don't. The problem with the American system is that it isn't for the benefit of the patient. It's for the benefit of the Insurance companies' bottom line, and that's fucked up. I really don't understand the American attitude to Socialised medicine. I was watching the Daily Show last night, and I could not believe some of the crap about "putting a beaurocrat between Doctor and Patient" that Republicans were spouting. That simply isn't true- and even if it is true, then I'd rather have a government employee operating not for profit in medicine than a wage slave under orders to increase revenue processing my medical shit. Europe, though, is by far the way forward- especially France and Spain- Great healthcare for fuck all.
-
I still wince thinking about the token black transformer in the first film. Dreadful shit.
-
this is the worst summer in years.
-
LOTS of laughs in the audience. I tried to steal a few glances at the older black couple in the aisle in front of me, but they were too far to get a good gauge of their reactions. It looked like they were laughing, or in the least smiling, though. Lots of the audience ate them up. And now I wouldn't necessarily say they were black transformers. Some take them to be latinos. I dunno.
-
Or has the Baymeister just got the wreckin' balls to have an ethnic transformer actually seem like he has some ethnicity? I haven't seen it, so I can't comment. But if you got offended at one transformer in the first flick sounding like a black guy then you're way too fucking easily offended. Fuck it. I might go see it tonight.
-
having cracked and watched the first one on DVD, nothing on earth could make me sit through the sequel. Fuck that.
-
Xi's slap down about making sure the soft spot in his skull didn't get wet was funny though.
-
and Another_Typical_Talkbacker. Unfunny, annoying cunts. Transformers seems to attract them like public bathrooms attract republicans.
-
and this is that they secretly know it's crap, and are ashamed of it. Seriously, look at that TB. If you take out the morons, and the crazies (Bodet), the majority of fans just quote Box-Office and sales to justify it. Ergo, they know it's bollocks of the lowest order, but feel they need the protection of the herd to justify liking it.
-
He is now a former Master Sergeant (E-8) and a 4th or 5th degree black belt in MCMAP (so we can have some awesome H2H scenes).
We add Steve Zahn to the cast as his old hometown buddy, January Jones as his stripper/meth head ex-wife, Timothy Olyphant as the Jody who was sleeping with his wife, Steven Bauer as one of the cartel kingpins, Roselyn Sánchez as Bauer's mistress (whom Bale fucks), Sid Haig as the owner of a strip club, and Michael Jai White (E-9), Raymond Cruz (E-9) and Rey Valentin (E-4) make out the rest of his "fire team" that shows up to help him.
Basically it is the Punisher or the Exterminator if set in Arizona, but with fucking Bale doing the killing. Bale comes home, his ex-wife and his daughter are murdered by drug dealers, he vows revenge, kills a shit load of people until the big climatic end when he calls in some of his Marine buddies to help him take down the bad guys (kind of like Tommy Lee Jones in ROLLING THUNDER).
I write the script, Xiphos_2 is technical advisor, toadkillerdog is assistant technical advisor, Jarv is music supervisor and drug procurer and Stuntcock is official coke tester.
How can he turn that down? It smells of box office gold. -
I figure him just being able to type and hit the post button was an incredible accomplishment and didn't want to rob him of the magic of that moment.

I actually decided not to bother w/ the TF talkback too much, it was Obviously an excuse for pissed off idiots to try out their insults at each other and Hollywood ad nauseum. Seriously-it's a movie about Big Robots Hitting Each Other. That's-It, really. D.Vader, is there an obvious Japanese-Bot in this thing? does Karate or whatever? references Johnny Sokko? You can blame Johnny Sokko for my Robot interest(s). I'd like to see more films come out in the summer Like, say, Public Enemies or Glory or whatever.

My issue with airbender is...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
it's based on a cartoon isn't it? So why the fuck is it called M. Night Shyamalans' The Last Airbender. No it's not yours you egotistical fucking cockmuncher. You are now just a director for hire because you fucking subjected the world to the abysmal shitfests that were M. Nights The Happening and M. Nights The Village. Cunt.
-
...but you have no idea whose call that was. Night could have been completely against it and the studio shoved it down his throat saying it will bring in the adults.
-
Is in year one? Maybe I'll rent it now.

Claims that the whole, M. Knight Presents Alfred Hitchcock Presents is the studio doing.

Harry Knowles was good, but a while back he and his mates sold out. They've been bought by the studios who drip feed exclusives. HK and his friends have lost their bite. Don't really rip into the bad stuff any more like they used to.

Or didn't object when the studio wanted it. He certainly wasn't going to say no.

....he doesn't come off like that at all. He seems far too timid to put that M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN'S at the head of his films. It really seems like he has low self esteem. Always doubting himself....

I thought Jazz was fine. The Twins are a bit over the top for me, and I think that has something to do with their facial design a bit. Big ears that stick out to the side and big buckteeth.

why on Earth do they think they need small robots?
by dannyglovers_dickblood
If I was writing a Transformers script, it would never occur to me that "Gee, it might be a good idea to get some small robots down on the ground to really interact with Sam..." What the fuck?
-
what's with the apologism for the cunt. He's a bigger hack than Tarantino and as much of a cunt as Roth.

That's a great idea. I would have liked some sort of kung-fu bot. That woulda been cool to see.

by dannyglovers_dickblood
.....Tarantino and Roth are dreadful shit on the same plane. Nothing with a budget comes close.
-
The old one was a bit hard to understand at first, that's my only real criticism of him. But he's an old Transformer that's been here on Earth for hundreds of years hiding. I liked the cane. And the little "gangster" robot... well I'm not sure where people get the "gangster" nickname from. When I heard that, I completely expected to hear a bot going "Yeah, see? We're gonna get the cube and take over the town, see?" But in reality, he just has a few moments of fast-talking. And he gets tortured by Megan Fox. I liked him and his arc, though he sorta disappeared by the end.
-
Jun 23, 2009 10:48:56 AM CDT
And what evidence do you have of Night's ego?
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
Is that he's become a lazy crap writer who doesn't care about his "fanbase" and whose tastes can no longer be trusted when he pulls dumb shit like "refusing to see Wolverine because Fox didn't give me a pass and its getting bad reviews at RottenTomatoes".
-
Were actually a line of toys. They were awesome.
-
Didn't this come about from his role in Lady in the Water where he's just a misunderstood genius? And from the claims after The Sixth Sense that he knew the secret to great filmmaking that only he and Spielberg possessed?
-
it was a fail in the first movie and therefore a fail in the sequel. Misses the point entirely.
-
There could be varying degrees of it, but my cousin, at this kid's age, laughed loudly at EVERYTHING he thought was remotely funny, but especially at physical humor and anytime a character got hurt (in this film we have pple getting tasered and such). My cousin would still laugh at this today, but he's 15 now and has learned a bit about how to act in public, though he still likes to talk to himself and the screen. We never would have taken him to a packed screening like this kid's parents did. The annoyance level is way too high and it distracted everyone around him away from the movie.
-
The sixth sense I ruined for myself by figuring the twist out in the first ten minutes. Unbreakable was flawless, to me anyway. Signs I loved. Lady in the Water I just couldn't get into. Parts of The Village were great, parts were....shit. The Happening just lost me totally. The subject matter of Airbender just holds zero interest with me. Maybe it'll be great, who knows.
-
1)Writing himself into his films. In one case as the writer to save the fucking world. 2)That documentary showing what a cunt he is 3)An interview in the telegraph where he went on and on about how he was the only director currently working that could take on the Master of Suspense mantle from hitchcock. 4)I just don't like the cunt.
-
Jun 23, 2009 10:58:29 AM CDT
To say that proves he has an ego based on that....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....is an issue you must have. I don't take any of that shit like that. People have also accused him of having a big ego because of his claims that he hears voices and thats how he writes. I think he is making up all this shit to make this whimsical mystery around him. I'm sure he won't be doing that much anywhere because he's aware of the backlash. But I think at first he kinda wanted to build a character up around him. I don't see how that translated to having a large ego. He lives in a modestly sized house on a farm outside of Philadelphia. He stays the fuck out of Hollywood because he can't stand the Hollywood crowds and the glitz. He shoots near his house so he can be home with his wife every night. He has used the same team of producers who are all close personal friends on every film he's made. I don't believe he has a large ego. I think in person, he would probably be one of the most down to earth out of all known directors.
-

Actually, its NOT called M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender
by d.vader
I had to look closely at the title screen for the teaser. It doesn't say "Shyamalan's The Last Airbender". His name above the title actually says "An M. Night Shyamalan film". I assume it says that actually. I can clearly see the "Film" but had trouble finding the "An" on the crappy youtube link.
-
....but I think Tarantino actually believes he is the finest living director today.
-
There was a fast-talking Transformer in the show, voiced by the Micro Machines guy.
-
The Transformers: Kiss Players was a Japan-only line of Transformers toys, manga, and audio dramas released in 2006. Kiss Players is set in an alternate Transformers universe where the Transformers are powered by the kisses of young girls. The toys themselves come packaged with small, scale figurines of the girls who power them. The toyline was openly admitted to be aimed at a specific part of the market—perverted adults, rather than children. The comic that accompanied the Kiss Players was an unashamed reflection of this, with several images which were considered by some to be very sexually themed.
Kiss Players continued the theme of the metaphysical power potential of human beings empowering Transformers. Previous examples were the Japanese series programs Masterforce and Car Robots.
-
I guess I've only known adults with it, I'll ask my mom. She's a special ed teacher.
-
With certain personalities of the bots. The cartoon had quite a few distinct personalities that were very human. I remember the Micro Machines guy. This transformer doesn't talk that fast. He just talks a lot. And honestly, I think most of his fast-talking came during scenes where he was getting tortured.
-
http://tinyurl.com/62u8an
-
I'm thinking of the general concept of Transformers.....robots from another world that can disguise themselves as vehicles and shit. Thats a cool premise. So why the fuck does it suck so much in the film? Is it the transforming itself? I don't remember how fast it took place in the cartoon. It wasn't mid-action though right? That just seems really fucking stupid if you think about it.
-
is that he is attempting to create a mystique about himself, and that's mitigation for writing himself into a film as the writer destined to save the world? I admit, I don't like the cunt, so am biased, but that alone strikes me as massively egotistical. By the same score, why do you think that about Tarantino? Fine, you like M. Night's stuff, but it looks like you're holding him to a different standard to Tarantino (who I also think is a cunt).
-
He's a smart kid and he doesn't like talking much unless its about a subject he really likes. You try to talk to him about something else and he just shuts off, asks you to stop, and goes back to whatever National Geographic or Discovery Channel show he was watching. He's always uses "big words" and a different vocabulary than other kids his age (a symptom of kids with Azberger's, which gives them the nickname "little professors"), and like I said before, he loves physical comedy and schadenfreude. It got reeeaaaaaaal bad many years ago when the bacteria or virus that causes strep throat, streptococchus or whatever, somehow made it to the BASE OF HIS BRAIN. Which cause ALL sorts of strange OCD behavior. He was afraid to touch you or doorknobs because of the germs they might have, he didn't like being around animals, and he threw tantrums all the time. They finally discovered the strep in his brain and cured him. And now he LOVES animals. It was quite a turnaround. He still doesn't eat at the table with the rest of the family and prefers bread products to everything else. His diet consists of mainly bagels, pop-tarts, and oven-baked pizzas.
-
...than I do Tarantino. I probably am holding him to a higher standard because he seems like a more pleasant person.I don't have a specific quote or anything where Quentin claims to be a great director. Overall he's just a fucking loudmouth prick that loves nothing more than talking about his vast body of knowledge. And you know what really rubs me wrong about him is when he is promoting a film and he describes it as if this is exactly the kind of film people want right now. Thats the tone. Like audiences everywhere are asking for this kind of film and that is why he had to make it.
-
ever- every interview I've seen is him going on about how he's the second coming. I bet the cunt has had that mythical operation where they remove 2 ribs. Just so he can get the whole of his own penis in his mouth
-
They went from car, to unrecognizable blob, to a humanoid robot in less than a second, like 3 frames. Not very realistic, but necessary for a cartoon.

It’s as if Michael Bay looked at Jar Jar Binks and said “Oh, fuck no. Really? People find THAT offensive? Fuck that, I’ll show them a fucking stereotype they’ll never fucking forget!” And he does.
Oh. My. God.
They speak in clichéd urban slang, tossing around phrases like “I’m gonna pop a cap in your ass” while fist bumping and mumbling unintelligently in a voice that sounds like a bad Chappelle Show sketch. Then you get a close up. And they each have bug eyes and a gold tooth. Then there’s this jackass comment about them not being able to read. My jaw was on the floor. I mean, if you’re gonna toss out a bad stereotype, at least have the courtesy to make that stereotype a complete badass so as to deflect complaints that this is a deliberately negative portrayal. These mother fuckers are incompetent, bumbling and never, EVER, cool." -
Since when did AMC start playing leftovers from SciFi Channel? My God this is horribly disappointing. And just after I was excited last night to see them playing classic, cheesy horror like The Curse of the Fly and Braineaters. So weird.
-
The making of Jurassic Park which was directed by the guy who did Aliens In the Attic! Man I need to stop posting in the wrong TB's.
-
The fact that you watch AMC outside of Breaking Bad and Mad Men, makes me question your love for film.
-
I feel like I've seen this before...
-
Poltergeist was on. AMC plays some damn fine shit from time to time.
-
Marlon Wayan's character from Scary Movie. Wide-eyed, big teethed. Wouldn't be surprised to hear in that film that he didn't read either.
-
Edits films for time and content. Thats why.
-
On AMC, and I beat the shit out of him and kicked him out of the house.
-
Is an egotistical cunt. There is no fucking way you can create a character that will write the book that changes the fucking world and cast yourself! Fuck off! Other than that, The Sixth Sense was good. Unbreakable was fucking genius until the horrendous mistake of putting title cards explaining the outcome at the end. If it had faded to black with Willis walking out and Jackson yelling after him then it would probably be up there in a top 50 for me. I like Signs. I absolutely loathe The Village. I think many aspects of Lady in the Water are great. Just way too much clanging shit like the critic and M. Night as the writer. An interesting failure. The Happening. Outrunning the wind. What a fucking joke. I've also seen his first flick which was about a little kid. Cannot remember anything about it other than it was a bit of a coming of age type flick. The other thing about his flicks, is that other than Unbreakable, I've never re-watched one. They hold zero interest after you see them. Hitch on the other hand, i've seen heaps of his flicks more than once. I've sen Rear Window probably 10 times in my life. Mainly because Grace Kelly is probably the most beautiful woman in the history of cinema. In my opinion of course.
-
I think he's a dick but I like his flicks. Except Death Proof of course. His best Jackie Brown. I fucking love that flick. Awesome cast. And Bridget Fonda is unbelievably fuckable in it. And Keaton is just plain awesome. I like how they tied JB and Out of Sight together by having him in both. But Tarantinos best two flicks are ones he didn't direct. True Romance (Oldman and Hopper own that flick) and Natural Born Killers. NBK is just one long trippy nightmare. Awesome.
-
Stars Rosie O'Donnell, called Wide Awake. He also wrote the magnificent Stuart Little.
-
Not Joe Pesci, not a wiseguy. Its Steve Buscemi. I knew it sounded familiar. (its not Buscemi doing the voice, but the character is reminiscent of Buscemi). Thanks to Fatboy.

-
Is that it is really bringing the best quotes I've seen out of critics. Just read the Rotten Tomatoe page, its full of gems.
-
"If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination." " It’s certainly the biggest something of all time."
-
Not a fan. He is incredibly redundant - his first four big movies basically followed the same formula he established in THE SIXTH SENSE - everyone has to have this "twist" which began to became really obvious. Fuck, me and my brother figured out the twist of THE VILLAGE just by watching the trailer. I remember we both looked at each other and said "It takes place nowadays."
Plus, the guy loves to show what a great director he is by bring attention to his direction. At the beginning of UNBREAKABLE, it was annoying as hell to watch the scene aboard the train with Bruce Willis and that woman since he had to use just one hand-held camera and was panning back and forth between the two. I thought it was going to turn out to be the POV of some kid in the seat in front of them, but instead it is just M. Night saying "Hey, look at me! I am a great director because i thought of this interesting shot! Have you noticed it?"
Now i am not saying he is talentless - he obviously has talent - but he is just stuck on these stupid gimmicks and constantly reminding people as they watch the film that he is the director. You don't need to try that hard to put a signature on your films, -
Eli Roth and Rob Zombie have none.

by dannyglovers_dickblood

On this site that likes Rob Zombie.

Tarantino is just as guilty, if not more so, than M. Night. Both love to remind the audience how clever they are.
-

Never seen a Rob Zombie or Eli Roth flick
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Fuck them both.
-
I only really saw one of his movies, House of a 1,000 Corpses, and hated it so bad that I could never see another one of his film. I did catch 10 minutes of the Devil's Rejects, but was very disappointed in what I saw (great trailer though). So maybe as a director he has grown and improved since House, but I doubt it.
His trailer in Grindhouse was the second best though, I will give him that. Only Machete was better than Werewolf Women of the SS IMO. -
"The movie has been signed by Michael Bay. This is the same man who directed "The Rock" in 1996. Now he has made "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Faust made a better deal." His review just makes me want to see it more.
-
I, too thought "This is present day..." within minutes of the start. And I didn't think that was the twist, that he was hiding it!I thought the big twist was gonna be that Dallas Howard wasn't really blind...
-
Make me want to see it now.

I think UNBREAKABLE could have been his true masterpiece
by continentalop
I think UNBREAKABLE is the movie I like the most by M. Night, and besides his obvious direction style which I mentioned above, I think it was his best crafted movie. I can say there are things wrong with it that prevent it from being great:
1) It came out maybe 4 or 5 years to early. It came out at the very beginning of the big super-hero craze so a lot of the tropes it is talking about are not that familiar with audience members as they should be. If it came out just the last couple of years I think it would play better because the super-hero genre is now so damn big (it is now unfortunately the new western).
2) If they had actual old comic books in the movie to progress the narrative instead of these made up ones. When he talks to him about his weakness, it would have been better if he pulled out an issue of Superman facing Kryptonite or Green Lantern confronting the Beatles' Yellow Submarine than a made up comic book character.
3) That Bruce Willis' character got shot. You said he is bulletproof, well let's see him get shot and survive. It's called Chekov's Gun Shaymalan, look it up!
4) They got rid of that horrible text at the end which explains that Jackson's character was sent to a mental institution. Fuck that! We don't need an ending, we know that Willis is a super-hero and Jackson is his arch-enemy. That is all we need to know.
I will say that UNBREAKABLE was another movie I guessed the ending early on. I first had suspicions, but when Samuel L. Jackson's character falls down the stairs and breaks his cane, I knew he was a super-villain. Who else but a Joker-wannabe would have a glass cane? -

This quote from Ebert's review makes me want to see TF2 so bad.
by odo19
The human actors are in a witless sitcom part of the time, and lot of the rest of their time is spent running in slo-mo away from explosions, although--hello!--you can't outrun an explosion. They also make speeches like this one by John Turturro: "Oh, no! The machine is buried in the pyramid! If they turn it on, it will destroy the sun! Not on my watch!"
-
I enjoyed "I Eat Dead Things" and "Unbreakable I: Willis Boogaloo" but it's Signs that I enjoy the most of his. Have NOT seen the others (save some of the Village-SCOOOBY DOO WHERE ARE YOU ZOINKS WHERE'S THE FUCKING JONATHAN WINTERS CAMEO??)but they look AWFUL. D.Vader--Big Robots Hitting Each Other One More Time sounds GOOD! Am sure I'll get what I pay for, what I deserve and what I expect. I like the Big Robots. Cokey's movies-Reservoir Dogs I like. Pulp Fiction--ehhhhh, some of it. The rest? Naw. Inglorious Assturds has ELI ROTH in it. Gimme a break. Harold is gonna spooge for days on it. GACK.
-
I like your style Sal.
-
Now that I think about it more, its completely enjoyable because of its stupidity.
-
Honestly, there was one very specific shot, one moment, a long shot of Optimus beating the shit out of some Decepticons where I thought to myself "Sal Bodet is going to be extremely pleased."
-
This I gotta see! "Captain America here blew the landing by 26 miles--" best parts of Armageddon, right there. Buscemi's lines are priceless. Well, MrGlover-they're always getting on Mikey Bay here as a cokehead-maybe? it's REAL common in Hollywood etc-but Tarentino-good fuckin' Christ it's Horribly obvious. Even his acne has ADD.
-
As they say-I'll know it when I see it. Tres cool. So what's the big deal about Merry-bot and Pippin-bot there? are they Really obvious latino caricatures? And who gives a shit about what PogoPope there has to say anyways? he thought that Dancing Penguin movie was some kinda Karl Marxian spoogefest. C'mon.
-
Jun 23, 2009 6:53:55 PM CDT
Look, you can say what you want about Bay and Tarantino
by continentalop
But coke isn't here problem. If anything, they should do more coke. As I have said before, coke=good movies. Just look at the 70s (Schrader, Friedkin, Scorsese, Coppola, Robert Evans, Robert Altman).
In fact, most art forms would be lost without their drug of choice. Country music without booze and pills is Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood and all the other crappy artist. Country Music with drunks and pills is Johnny Cash, George "No Show" Jones and Hank Williams. And my rock record collection would be nothing without heroin.
Bay, Tarantino, do another line and maybe you'll get interesting again. -
And cool? Damnit, I thought I was doing allright for myself so far...
-
Until you chop up some Peruvian flake with an expired credit card, and do a titty bump off some coke whores tits. If that don't motivate you to make a masterpiece of a movie, nothin' will!
-
Their body of work and a chance to have a drink with them. Quentin would be so fucking irritating to sit next to. Jesus Christ he would be like one of those friends of a friend you're forced to hang out with and you just keep praying to yourself that this piece of shit SHUT THE FUCK UP.
-
He would be so full of himself and treat everyone like shit. He seems to act like everything is a pissing contest. He would be like one of those guys you do business whom you go to dinner with and find yourself biting your tongue as he just acts like a total asshole.
I think someday we will find out it wasn't Frankenheimer that was his father but Don Simpson. -
....but Quentin is the most annoying motherfucker on the planet. His voice....his fucking face. Its just begging to get smashed with a bar-stool. I don't give a fuck if I have to sit and listen to Bay brag about how fucking awesome he is for 5 hours without getting a word in, as long as I don't have to endure that annoying fucking mouth of Tarantino's flap.
-
He'd just want to blow up everything he sees. "Hey check out that cow. Let's go shove some M-80s up its ass!"
-
In no particular order:
Michael Bay
Quentin Tarantino
Eli Roth
Lawrence Kasdan (God, talk about annoying voice)
George Lucas (I just have an image of him as the most boring man alive)
James Cameron
Ken Loach
Lars von Trier
-
Just because all his "ideas" for movies would have me wanting to roll my eyes. But I'm a nice polite guy and would end up placating him the entire night. If he didn't talk about his "ideas", he might be all right.
-
He seems like a funny dude.
-
1) His arrogance (he said at Cannes that he is the greatest director in the world); 2) his pretentious views on film; 3) his political beliefs (I am far from a right-winger, but some of his statements about America just fucking drive me nuts); 4) his phobias; 5) he suffers from depression (I don't blame him for that, but fuck, sitting across the table from a person bitching about life sounds oh-so-unpleasant); 6) his opinions about film (talking to him would just grate me wrong in so many ways).
-
I've always found him pretty charming in interviews. He comes across as extremely dry and with a good bit of sarcasm.
I saw the thing at Cannes and in context, I didn't get the impression that he intended the 'greatest director' thing to be taken too seriously.
-
I really don't know much about most directors personal lives, but I imagine I could see myself enjoy hanging out with Scorsese, Brett Ratner and Sofia Coppola.
Scorsese because although he is a fountain of information like QT, he doesn't come across as a know-it-all. It just seems more like a genuine love and passion for film. Plus, you probably would feel like you learned more about film at one dinner with Scorsese than after a year at film school.
I hate Ratner's films, but he seems like a cool guy to hang out with. Doesn't seem so full of himself. Plus he supposedly has a lot of chicks always hanging around him.
Sofia Coppola because just maybe I could smooth talk her into the sack. Shit, if she was willing to sleep with QT she ain't that demanding. -
it's why I barely leave my house!
-
At least from what I could tell. Kinda up there but you know. What if we find out Bay's really a Robot and we're being duped by the worst plot of all-?! Now THAT'D be funny. Hey it's a Cokey-bot---you can tell because it's always vibbrattttin'.
-
From Mother Night, "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
Just because a guy presents it as a joke and acts like he is pretending to be an arrogant egotist doesn't always mean he isn't one in reality. That is why I think those types of jokes work so well with an audience, because there is more than just a grain of truth to what he is saying. -

Since everybody else is opinionating about Night and Tarantino..
by xiphos_2
Here's my two cents not that it matters one bit.The Nightster. I liked I see Dead People even if I thought that Willis was a dead man the whole movie. I really liked Unbreakable and I'm in the crowd that thinks it's the best superhero origin story made on film so far.I got off Nights band wagon 30 minutes into Signs fuck was that movie disappointing, that is until I saw The Village. I have not seen the Lady in the Water and the Crappening is one of the worst movies EVER MADE.I do agree with Danny that Night USED to make good looking movies until he decided to punish the movie going public with The Crappening: An ode to Kevin Smith style movie visuals. Honestly the bland, ugly shots in The Crappening are one of the few things I can say anything good about that shit heap of a movie.Twitchy Tarantino. Besides not being able to stand looking or listening to that coked up/ADD monkey with the ginormous Frankenstien mellon I don't care for most of his movies. I liked Dogs well enough, but years ago I bought a DVD player and it came with a choice of a free DVD and the only one that was of any interest was Res Dogs. Its still in the plastic. I have no interest in rewatching it or most of Twitchys movies for that matter.Pulp Fiction I'm solidly with Danny on this one. I don't get the love for it and I've tried. Except for the opening scene with Yelly L. Jackson and Barbarino talking about hamburgers, I'm left cold and disinterested by that movie.Jackie Brown is my favorite movie of his and in my opinion the best thing he's ever done. Although I wonder if that is due to the source material, a great sound track and the outstanding work of Robert Forester, Pam Grier and the rest of the cast.The rest of Twitchy's directorial CV is blah wrapped in dull. I did like it when QT got shot in the face by Cheech in Desperado though, good times.Here's A few more opinions about directors. Why the hell not? It don't cost nothing.Rob Zombie, I liked the first 10 minutes or so of Corpses the rest stunk. I really liked The Devils Rejects. Rejects is a true Grindhouse movie unlike that Tarantino/Rodriquez vanity project. I have not seen anything else by Zombie except for his Werewomen of the SS trailor.Mike Bay, I don't mind some of his movies and I like a few, one I hate so much it threatens to tear a hole in teh space time continum. I have no interest in Big Robots Hitting Each Other Part II(tm Tombodet). I didn't care for the first one. I don't hate it or anything it just didn't work for me.
-
For one dinner he would seem charming and interesting, but after that he would get old and become annoying. Can we talk about something else besides you Bog? I mean, do you have to name drop so much? Oh shit, he is breaking out his Orson Welles and Cary Grant imitations again. Fuck!
-
don't forget his Hitch impression!
-
I could be wrong, but that's how he's always seemed to me.
-
I don't know. I'm predisposed to be a bit generous towards him. I think he was pretty justified at Cannes, the press was on the attack from question #1.
But yeah, there is often a grain of truth in comments like that. I just think in that specific case, he was reacting to all the blatant hostility he was confronted with. -
After all, he opened up his own creative consultancy group so that he could use his "unique" talents and creativity to bless ad campaigns and companies looking to be successful. Bleh. I forget what the exact quote was regarding his company, but it was so damn arrogant.
-
I'd fuck her for sure. Love me some Italian women.
-
Reservoir Dogs: A damn good B-crime caper. All the characters were straight out of a heist movie, which is what you wanted. QT shows a lot of promise.
Pulp Fiction: I give QT credit here because he brings Goddard to the masses. He makes a French New Wave movie that mass American audiences will eat up. On top of it, all the characters are as realistic as something from a pulp novel, but that is the point. QT once again lives up to his rep.
Jackie Brown: His fucking homerun. He took the blaxploitation genre and took out the exploitation part. It is the type of films that Pam Greer should have been allowed to make in the 70s. On top of that it has his most realistic and three dimensional character ever, with motivation that I can relate too (a lot of credit has to go to Leonard Elmore). It is his must sophisticated and mature film in terms of style and themes, and should the promise of QT growing up.
OK, I am going to skip Four Rooms and go to...
Kill Bill vol. I & II: Ok, whatever promise QT showed is now gone. Instead of being a more adult filmmaker, he has regressed and made a film that caters to his 13-year fantasies (I thought True Romance got that all out of him). The characters are all hipsters in drag - do you really think the world's most elite assassins would act or respond the way they do? No, it is geek fantasy at it's worse - a shot out to all the movies you love but without really examining what makes those films really work.
Death Proof: All I have to say is you had a movie with Kurt Russell as an insane stunt-driver and you fucked that up? WTF?
Inglorious Basterds looks like his is continuing on his path of making retarded hipster movies. Which is sad, because the guy is probably one of the most talented filmmakers today, but it goes to show that sometimes it isn't how well you write a letter but what you say in it that counts. -
honestly...
Didn't he date Allison Anders for a bit? I give him props for that, even if her section of Four Rooms was easily the worst of the bunch. -
Then Ratner is off my list and replaced by Curtis Hanson and Clint Eastwood.
Fuck, I don't care if Clint is as angry as his character in Gran Torino, I would just be thrilled to be hanging out with Clint. That is until he asks me to help him change his adult diapers, than all my hero worship would come crashing down. -
I find her personally fascinating.

"The Hollywood heavyweight behind the "Rush Hour" trilogy and "X-Men: The Last Stand" is launching Brett Ratner Brands, a consultancy to help brands infuse entertainment and culturally relevant ideas into their marketing strategies.
"Here’s what the Brett Ratner Brands concept is: You get to tap into Brett’s brain, and not just for the obvious creative ideas or directing an ad," Mr. Kotick said. "His unusual skill is not only that his tentacles go deep into the creative community, but he genetically gets and understands how to make money," he added. "Take the "X-Men" — he understood how to create a box-office blockbuster. The Mariah Carey video ["Touch My Body"] is the same thing. … He can build brands, sell brands and sell the art form."
"I don’t feel this model replaces what ad agencies are doing," he said, adding that it is "storytellers that are hot right now. I think that’s what the consumer is looking for now." -
it's genetic!!
Wonder if it's the same gene that gave him tentacles... -
When has anyone ever accused Brett Ratner of being a story-teller? Narrative is one of his biggest weaknesses.

His pimp hand seems very strong.

he seems like he'd be pretty cool to talk to. Plus maybe Bruce Campbell would tag along, that'd be nice.
And Paul WS Anderson too. Fuck you, I like some of his movies, Death race was awesome. Plus maybe Milla Jovovich would tag along, then we could just ditch Paul. mmmmmmmmmmm Milla...... And Lexi Alexander. I still havent seen Punisher War Zone, but hell who cares, she's hot. Although she's probably kick my ass if I tried to flirt with her. -
just so I could kick his ass in gear and get him to finish All Star Goddamn Batman And Robin already.
-
although I admit I would mostly use him so I could get him to introduce me to Mike Mignola.
-
Just to listen to his story of the beating down of Minor "Tomato Can" Jeff. Ah the sweet memories...
-
I like Death Race also I was very surprised by that. Death Race mwas pretty entertaining. Great practical stunt work and hardly any CGI.
-
Its pretty fucking awesome. Though I don't understand why he just didn't use K-Nex http://tinyurl.com/5gv7bk
-
but at least now we're finally seeing SOMEthing from it.
Then there's that quote from the comingsoon review "I thought--just like you guys--that I've seen it all with Gollum, or The Hulk, but Cameron has done it again."
Yeah I guess I'll give the guy Gollum even if he didnt impress me that much, but The Hulk? Fuck, he didnt look real, well made yeah but that's about it. How is it such a big deal that Cameron's people (because it sure as fucking hell is NOT Cameron himself that did it) made a character that looks better than Hulk? -
Just to learn about what its like to the only Doctor directing movies today.
-
I'd challenge him in a plate eating challenge. Meaning who can finish the most full plates of food.
-
David Lynch( I don't really think I need to say more)Stanley Kubrick(forget Scorsese this is the guy who could teach me everything about film that I could ever need. I probably wouldn't want to do it more than once because he seems like a complete fucking douche by most accounts))Tony Scott(I dig his movies and after listening to his commentaries he sounds like a fun guy) Michael Bay(Don't really know why but to me he seems like a cool guy plus he always has coke and hookers around. Done deal.) Guillermo Del Toro(Seems like fun and I could stand to learn alot as well)
-
I am seeing someone right now, and we have an open relationship. Unfortunately, I have not been able to take advantage of that fact for quite a long awhile. And to make matters worse, I've got this smoking hot actress who lives right next door to me and I can hear her douchebag boyfriend banging her almost every damn night.
Maybe I should fucking go ask Mystery for some advice on my "Game"... -
Takashi Miike. I don't know if I'd ever make it home. But he seems pretty cool, fucked up, he'd probably take me to some messed up underground torture club and have it set up for me to the main course.

odo19, I don't think Kubrick is going to teach you much
by continentalop
He is dead. If we are allowed to add dead directors I want to add Sam Fuller and Billy Wilder.
-
not sure what happened to it. Either way I'd hang with Kubrick's corpse as well.
-
Do Matt Stone and Trey Parker count? It would be awesome to go drinking with those guys. I guess throw The Zucker brothers in their as well, The Farrelly brother and Egon. They all seem like down to earth comedian's who aren't full of themselves. Maybe Brad Bird and John Lasseter, but I don't know shit about animation. I'd mainly want to just to get a full tour of Pixar studios which I think Lasseter probably lives.
-
Lloyd Kaufman, after seeing him the other night I can tell that dude is a cool guy and would be a lot of fun to hang out with. Shit he'd probably make a movie with me.
-
Because he really seems interesting outside of his films. The guy is a doctor and a boxer. He would be a Hemingway-esque figure if he wasn't so pitiful of artist.
I do like how he backed out of a fight with Seanbaby after he learned he practiced Muay Thai. -
Final one. Sly Stallone, because he's the most bad ass director out there. And maybe Gaspar Noé, don't know much about him though. Sounds like he could be a giant douche.
-
Con, have you checked out the trailer for his new movie? It looks like it may not suck. I've been trying to get the ball rolling on this discussion for the past couple of days. No one seems to be biting.
-
That guy has a new book out called Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life. Heard anything about it?
-
If so then it would be worth talking to him just to hear that story.
-
The problem with the Boll trailer is that it really shows nothing. I just have a feeling it is a bunch of guys in one room and they have some "intense" moments, but it is just the same thing over and over. By the end we will feel that Bowe beat a horse to death with a stick.
Now it might work as a film, but I don't think it will be enough to make people look at him as a legitimate director. I could be wrong, but I would lay money that the film will get like a "C" from Rotten Tomatoes and that will be that. -
Yeah, I read a review of his book Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life in the LA Times not to long ago. It is supposed to be pretty good.
I actually love The Game. Funny as hell book. I was working at a post house where they were doing the onlines for the first season of the Pickup Artist when someone told me about the book. -
I read it and it was a lot of fun. I've read all of his books.
-
Don't they mention in that how they got in a gross out contest with Ozzy Osbourne in that?
-
About directors in the 70's. Its all very self masturbatory stuff. Just heard Milos Forman speak for the first time.
-
That was directed by Ted Demme before he died.

He is somewhat nice but full of shit. Says he isn't there to gloat - Bull fuckin' shit.

How could you even think that after all we've meant to each other (and how much they mean to me)? I would never entrust them to anyone less than Francis Ford Coppola, and then only on loan, when he creates that climactic future masterpiece "Ballpocalypse Now".

Was nominated for best movie. Did not know that.

Somebody we would know or is she one of the legions of good looking but delusional girls that flock to Hollywood every day? No need for a name just a yes or no. I suspect that if you wanted to exercise the "open" part of your arrangement you could.What's the Game?
-
Yeah that's what I'm watching. Only good quote through the whole thing was Dennis Hopper, " these a lot of independent films that are crap." Mainly because while everyone was jerking off about how great independent cinema was, Hooper told it like it is...probably because he's in a bunch of crappy films. He'd be cool to hang out with, more so back in the 70's.
-
Was nominated for a bunch of Oscars as well. That's a good movie.
-
Go look at the film that were nominated in the 70s and it will blow your mind. In fact, look at 1976: Taxi Driver, Bound for Glory, Network, All the President's Men and Rocky were the best picture nominees. When the winner is Rocky and that is arguably the worst of them you know you have a pretty damn good year in film.
Also, look at the top 10 box office performers from 1970-1975. Fucking Five Easy Pieces, Carnal Knowledge and the Last Picture show were all in the top 10 for the years they were released.
Man I love 70 films *sniff* -
Was that Jaws ruined movies, since Jaws became a huge hit all of the sudden everyone stated seeing just $$$ in movies.

But man is she hot. 5'7" Blonde, curvy in the right spots, great skin, and with a kind of sweet and innocence Kristen Bell-like face. But shit, she sounds like a nasty girl next door when I hear her bf pounding her (not as bad as my old neighbors, but they were fucking ugly).
And maybe I could take advantage of the open relationship more often than I have, but I admit freely I am very picky unless I am drunk. LA spoils you were an average looking guy like me can score pretty decent looking chicks.
The Game is a book by Neil Strauss, where he goes undercover and explores the secret world of the Pick-Up Artist in LA. If you ever seen VH-1's The Pick-Up Artist, you've seen the star of the book, Mystery. -
After Jaws and Star Wars studio heads saw all the money that could be made with blockbusters.
Of course, I don't blame Spielberg and Lucas - it isn't there fault that a bunch of people less talented than them started making event movies. It would be like blaming John Carpenter for all the shitty slasher movies that followed Halloween. -
I'll check it out, sounds like it could be some good cheesy fun. Thanks for the info I will be swinging by Amazon to get the book.

Tomorrow. Don't ask me why I am watching Extra, I am finishing up comic reviews and needed something put on that didn't require thought.

Is because Massa said it was.

Wanna give us a shot out tomorrow in the comic section here?

D. Vader says that he loves Transformers, but G.I. Joe looks too dumb for him?????

Not interested at all.
-
1) The Pick Up Artist show was REALLY lame. I saw the show as it was being onlined and dubbed - all the "losers" on that show were actually actors. Now Keys to the VIP from Canada is a "better" show, and i use that term lightly. But it is fun to watch guys either score or get shot down in flames hitting on women.
2) I will give your comic section a shout out tomorrow.
3) D. Vader's comments are the epitome of an oxymoron. I love ya D, but man both look stupid as hell. -
When Orci first starting posting about a year and half ago, either Harry or Mori or both, vouched for him said that he was the real deal. You can take that for what it worth. I'm not vouching FOR them I'm just repeating what they did.

I wish I knew that someone cool was posting on here. Like Bobcat Goldthwait, that are like some complete ass hole movie critic like Roper. Though Roper probably sees himself too good to post on here.

Xi, here is the first episode of season 1 of the Pick Up Artist
by continentalop
http://tinyurl.com/l5l7xg
Like I was saying to Series, the "students" are all actors. However, I did see some of the out takes so they really are interacting with real people at the bars (although they probably got a couple of people planted to make sure something interesting happens). The more interesting part were the out takes of Mystery and his two wings going around. I would like to say they got shot down in flames constantly, but unfortunately I would be lying. They actually did really good in the footage I saw and it didn't look like it was staged. -
But they are like a drug. I can't stop watching them. Even as they get faker and faker I still put them before my eye balls for examining. I should stop watching TV altogether this upcoming season and just watch movies.
-
Pretty much made me hate women. Because I am very lazy when it comes to meeting girls, I don't like to jump through hoops and play games. And these guys pretty much (like the title says) turned it into a game. Sometimes I start to see why other cultures have their certain beliefs about women.
-
I actually hate reality shows. The problem is I actually work on a lot of them, or at least used to, as an editor and an online editor. They pay way to good to turn down, but man do they suck.
-
but it sounds a lot like Ibsen's first rule of drama- A gun seen in the first act must be used in the third.
-
I mean I know Wheel of Fortune does its whole month of shows in like a week or a couple of days. And I've heard stuff like Survivor where it makes every thing seem short the physical challenges actually take a lot of hours. But I mean crap like Why the fuck would you watch that Plus 8, The Game TV show, Wipeout (which I will admit is the best thing on the Tele right now), and shit I don't know I Love Toy Trains. They all seem like they would only take a couple of hours to film.
-
And not just for the obvious reasons. I actually like hanging around women. They are usually a lot more fun and interested in trying stuff than guys. I can't think of the last time I could get a guy friend to go to a play, go wine tasting or go see a foreign film, even if it was LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.
But one thing I did like about the Game is that it got me to recognize a lot of stuff I see girls doing when I went out with them or met them in a bar, and made me realize why they do it. I understand why girls "shit test" or put up "bitch shields" me know, so I don't get upset by that anymore.
Best books about the entire nature of men interacting with women in my opinion were THE RED QUEEN, SPERM WARS and WHY BEAUTIFUL HAVE MORE BABIES. I got to evolutionary psychology really changed my perspective on the why men and women desire what they do. -

A Hand in the Bush: The Fine Art of Vaginal Fisting http://tinyurl.com/mjukcv

Dogs- if you didn't know that the vastly superior city of fire existed, then it's still a damned good movie. It isn't aging well- it was just so fucking fresh when it was released and now it's formula has been battered to death. Pulp- again, not aging well, but at the time this was a quantum leap from dogs. Bigger, more complicated, more intelligent and better. I still find it amazing that that movie only cost $8m. Jackie Brown- I don't actually like this, although I do agree with what everyone has said above. It just bores the shit out of me. On the other hand, Bridget Fonda is magnificent in that film. Kill Bill- 1 is fanboy masturbation, but reasonably entertaining- bits of it border on superb, even if split narrative is now dull and the anime section hopelessly out of place. It also seems to lack heart- it feels artificial, like someone that didn't understand the genre made the film. Despite his pretentions. Furthermore, the coma rape is the most grotesque, shitty, pathetic, gratuitous, crap idea he's ever come up with. Not a fan, but it's dramatically better than.... Kill Bill2- just soulless, dour, dull, misreable, pathetic, pointless, unnecessary, fragmented, anticlimactic claptrap. Atrocious, but not as bad as.... Death Proof. Tarantino, you fucking imbecile. This is our Kurt you fucking idiot. Snake Fucking Plissken (to give him his sunday name) does not cry or get his ass kicked by women. Women do not talk like that. 2 exposition heavy geek-chat wankfests is 2 too many. One of the worst films of the last 5 years. And that's saying something.

Most reality shows i worked on took about 3 weeks to cut
by continentalop
Rough cut in one week, end of second week we would show executives who would give us notes, third week we would do all the changes to their notes, and then try to lock it before the weekend so we could online it over the weekend to save money, and then get sound done in a day and ship it out to the station. Most of the onlines though usually took a day or two because of all the graphics and texts and specs.
Reality shows actually better better than most gigs for editing, but they are so fucking horrible to work on. The only reality show I might want to work on is the Ultimate Fighter, but that is because I am a MMA fan. -
Jarv, well said. Me too.
-
That book looks awesome! I know what I want for my birthday!
And the costumer recommendations on this page all look golden - The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus and Anal Sex for Couples. All look like must reads. -
You would have to watch HOURS AND HOURS of asinine crap working on a reality show. Like just boring interviews, shots of crap Man why is google search a better spell checker then spell checker?
-
I've told it before, but its great. Anyways me and my buddy saw it online but didn't want to order it. So every time we went to the mall or something we'd check out Borders or whatever to see if they had it. So finally one Borders in Rhode Island did. We got in line and there was this high school girl checking everyone out. In front of us was like a 50-60 year old man who was buying a copy of Playgirl. Just imagine what was going through her head after she saw someone her grandfathers age buying bad gay porn, then two college boners buying Hand in the Bush. I don't think I even looked at her when I bought it.
-
oh and by the way- I saw the most depressing thing on TV last night. I saw the opening credits for teh American version of "I'm a D-list Twat, please put me in the jungle and forcefeed me jaguar poop so I can get some exposure" and I was horrified to find that not only does it have Fat Baldwin in it, but also the B-movie god that is Lou Diamond Phillips. What the fuck? This was as bad as when Warwick was in Celebrity Scissorhands in the UK. Fuck.

For a documentary about Camera men. Maybe as camera get smaller it won't matter so much, but like go around and interview camera men on various jobs. Like how much does it suck to be a camera guy working on a show like survivor, try to stay away from the typical camera guy stuff (jaws), but just get a range of different camera guy stories. That are turn it into some TLC series about the different facets of the movie making process. Like this week we are talking to the catering company, next week Boom guys.

Series, have you looked at "People who bought this also bought..
by continentalop
There is a book called "The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women" by Tristan Taormino, and the blurb on the cover says "Tristan Taormino is THE go-to girl on anal sex."
Now that is a title to be proud to hold. If that is her photo on the cover, I want her number.

Was probably intrigued by you because you bought that. I mean, who would buy a book an vaginal fisting? Some stud who treats his girl like a fuck toy.
She was probably dreaming that night about you putting three digits inside of her. -

And asked her if it was a good book and if it wasn't what would she recommend.

Get me out of here starring Bob Orci happening over on the Transformers review talkback right now.

I once watched this thing late at night where a porn star was saying the best way to do it is just position your cock and let her back on to it- the guy in the studio discussing it went white and said "no way, hasn't he ever seen a woman reverse a car?"
-
Back then me and my buddy were like little fucking giggling school girls trying to by it. In the book there is a reference section, and one of the novels that was a point of reference was called, "The Fine Art Of Anal Fisting". I think it was the real inspiration for Hand in the Bush to be honest. Having never been able to find it, still haunts me to this day.
-
The guy doesn't really answer the tough questions IMO.
-
I can't believe I'm fucking up. I'll see you all in a few.

I just wish she would buy a smaller strap on.

Yeah Bob didn't answer any of my questions. And they were fucking easy. Like what was your favorite toy???? Nothing. See he didn't know it was a toy line either. good day sir.

So sure, I can see how you'd wanna go w/ Good SToopid (Big Robots Hitting Each Other Once Again) vs Bad Stoopid (GI Jose) just because. Hey Harold got onto his PC wagon and is slagging this Big Robots etc as being racist. Okay- Can't wait to hear him defend the Charlie Chan films again-(which by the way I do own and like)

Or maybe I did once, but I meant I enjoy them, I don't love them. But like I said in the post regarding GI JOE, I can't think of any examples in TFs of stupid moronic behavior on the part of the heroes or villains just for the sake of advancing the plot. The over all movies may be stupid, but I can't think of that kind of illogical behavior displayed by COBRA in their attack on the Eiffel Tower.

I don't understand whats so stupid about the Joe clip....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
.....you say because they go somwhere else to fire the missile thing instead of doing it from their chopper? Like I said before, its the sort of thing almost every villain in every action/Bond-esque film would do. Sure its convenient. Who fucking cares?
-
As I said before, its the stupid syndrome. As ContinentalOp said, its lazy writing. Its a lazy way to get COBRA and the JOES to have a little encounter, but when you think about it, its stupid and illogical. Maybe the film will play better than that clip, but if I were in charge of the film, I would have never released something so stupid to the public. Keep that shit secret. Just show the fun stuff- the weapons, the Baysplosions, the girls in tight leather, whatever. If they had done that, I might be more interested. But as soon as you show characters acting without any thought or logic, you've lost me. And I admit this shit happens a lot in films, probably in a lot I enjoy, but like I said, I can't think of any in Transformers. That JOE clip just really grates on me, just like every episode of HEROES where characters betrayed how they'd been set up in the past and now acted like complete idiots or became uncaring assholes just so that the story could have a twist.
-
Saw that yesterday, number 303.Felt like it was never going to end, as though I had died and gone to hell and was suffering through some bastard son of Forrest Gump and Meet Joe Black forEVER!A few good bits here and there, and I suppose the effects were pretty impressive, but otherwise that was one serious yawnfest.
-
I meant to add that a James Bond film would never show that kind of idiocy in a clip before the movie is released. That way when it plays in the film, because of all that's come before it, it will be more accepted because that's just the tone of the film. Does that make sense? GI JOE could be great fun, but they keep showing their hand and playing the stupid shit and its discouraging.
-
Seriously, I know I like crap and that, but I've seen way too much crap lately. I have OD'd on crap.Black Book is on tonight. At least that's a good one, so I'm watching it again.

I wonder if that's the porn name version. If not, it should be. Note to self...

Hey the "Mutant Chronicles" is premiering on SciFi sat. night
by d.vader
And they're calling it a "SciFi Channel Original". Hilarious.
-
I actually want to see the Mutant Chronic. Even if Echo, RIP, said it sucked.
-
Yeah I keep thinking that you meant that you were editing stuff for Online content.
-
Altering the original or not.....going back to film days when they would cut a workprint before harming the original. This evolved into early non-linear editing, like what Murch did on Cold Mountain, where he edited a low rez offline version of the film on Final Cut, and then the actual film was cut after it was all finished....based on the changes he made offline. They call the final phase of that online...where it is being put together full quality. I don't know why its called that.
-
And damn you Time Warner Cable for fucking discontinuing that channel in the first place... Anyway, I hope SciFi doesn't cut anything out of the movie. I hear its a trainwreck but I'd like to see just how bad.
-
Please take it with an enormous grain of salt. A lot of it is reductive speculation that ain't exactly scientifically rigorous, especially once it's been filtered down into pop science writing.
Correlation doesn't imply causation. And science writers aren't immune to social trends and bias, or to a desire to sell books. Easy answers to human behavior always sell. And there's nothing ahistorical about science.
I apologize for ranting, but the misuse of the evolutionary mechanism is pretty rampant these days, almost as if it were being used as a new religion or something. Drives me nuts!
