AICN & Twitch Present International Eye Candy! Kitamura's BATON, Yuen Woo Ping's TRUE LEGEND, French action flick BLACK & More!!
Yes, once again it is Todd from Twitch and I was going to begin this edition of International Eye Candy asking you all to pardon me for the preponderance of short films represented in this edition – the Worldwide Short Film Festival has just finished up here in Toronto and I've been swamped with the things – but then I realized … Pardon? Nobody needs to pardon nobody for nuthin' here! Glory in them! Revel in them! They're small but brilliant.
And for those who like their films of the larger variety we also have very large waves and very large pigs – both from Korea – and the son of a very large star – Jaycee "Son-Of-Jackie" Chan – and other assorted odds and ends to keep you happy. Ready? Here we go!
We're going to start in Israel with WHEN IT WILL BE SILENT, the sophomore student film from Dan Sachar. And, honestly, Dan may not be a student for much longer because soon after posting this thing up I started fielding questions from Hollywood agents and managers hungry for more of this Tarkovsky-inspired goodness. Sachar's film is a post-apocalyptic affair shot on location in the blasted no-man's-land between Israel and Jordan and it just leaves me wondering why Israel doesn't make more films like this and WALTZ WITH BASHIR and less like every other film they make.

We now follow something small with something big. Something huge! It's a massive wall of water and it's about to sweep away hordes of Korean sun-worshippers on the beaches of HAEUNDAE. That someone would crank out a tsunami themed disaster film before long is no great surprise – there's actually already been at least one significant one made in Thailand to the sound of much tutting and clucking and general condemnation there – and HAEUNDAE has been in the works long enough with a big enough budget that people have been aware of it for a good long while but what people didn't realize was … it's a comedy. A full-on slapstick, loaded with pratfalls comedy. At least it is until the wave comes – and it is a big one – at which point I assume (and hope) that the tone changes somewhat.
Is it in bad taste? Find the HAEUNDAE trailer here
And we go from something big back to something small, though clocking in at about fifty minutes, Ryuhei Kitamura's animated film BATON is the biggest of the short films represented here. And, yes, this is that Kitamura, the director of cult splatter hit VERSUS, joined here by producer Shunji Iwai (SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY) to turn out an animated film in honor of the 150th birthday of the city of Yokohama. Insert obligatory 'When I turned X all I got was Y' joke here.
BATON is heavy on the rotoscoping and the quality looks a touch uneven, but I'm actually quite excited to see what Kitamura can pull off in the world of animation, a world where most of his directorial excesses will actually play to his advantage.
We posted an earlier trailer for this one, but there's a new, longer version available now.

We're not just short film centered this week, we're also very Asian centered, but you know what? When one of those Asian films is the first directorial effort from legendary martial arts choreographers Yuen Woo Ping in about a decade … well, I've got no problem with that.
TRUE LEGEND – aka NEW LEGEND – is Yuen's spin on the classic legend of Beggar Su and if you have any doubts about why this man is considered a living legend and a martial arts treasure … well, the first bits of footage release provide ample proof that the man's still got it. Yow. Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Donnie Yen have all done their best work for Yuen and there's a very good reason for that.

Bloodthirsty stop motion robots fused with an array of propaganda themed imagery? Sold! Director Brian Lonano did it once a little while back with his short film ATTACKAZOIDS and response was so good that he's back at it again with the just-about-complete prequel ATTACKAZOIDS, DEPLOY!!
Yes, the two exclamation marks are a part of the title. The details matter.
DEPLOY here! Deploy! Deploy!
From the bizarre we go to the even more bizarre with Hitoshi Matsumoto's SYMBOL. Matsumoto is simply a huge media celebrity in Japan, a massively popular TV comic who made his move into feature films a couple years back with the hysterically absurd DAI NIPPONJIN, available on these shores as BIG MAN JAPAN. With Takeshi Kitano – who also made his move into features following a hugely successful career as a TV comic – rapidly losing his grip on what made him interesting to film audiences in the first place, it took all of five minutes for Matsumoto to be declared the new Kitano when DAI NIPPONJIN released, a situation that led to a bit of in-the-press glowering at each other between the two men at the time.
And now Matsumoto is back with SYMBOL, is new feature which he is revealing pretty much nothing about to anybody. And true to form, rather than cut a trailer that would explain things to the masses, he has instead created … well … I don't really know what he's created. I. Have. No. Idea. What. This. Means. Will SYMBOL be another bit of daft genius or has Matsumoto also lost his grip? Only time will tell …

Hat? Hole? What's the difference? Philip Eddol's GIT GOB is one that I actually played in one of my midnight programs at the Worldwide Short Film Festival and it is glorious. And stupid. And absurd. And absurdly, stupidly glorious. I'm a fan. And the whole damn thing is online.
Embrace the foolishness of GIT GOB here!
What's that? A Chan-starring, Chinese martial arts comedy coming down the line? You bet, but it's not the Chan you think. Nope. It's his son. To this point of his fledgling career Jaycee Chan has pretty consciously avoided following in papa Jackie's footsteps. A smart decision, methinks, and not actually a particularly difficult one to make considering Jaycee actually isn't much of a martial artist. But he's been dabbling some, lately, and he's finally going all out with a key role in TRACING SHADOW, a new wuxia-comedy that marks a rare directorial effort from veteran character actor Frances Ng, who also stars. Ng seems to be taking a very old-school approach to this one, which is provoking some strong reactions – Chinese slapstick comedy is very definitely not to everyone's taste – but the production values are very, very solid.
Check the TRACING SHADOW trailer here
One film that didn't play at Worldwide Shorts but I really wish had – curse you sci-fi guy for not sharing my taste! – was Franck Dion's MONSIEUR COK. Yes, yes, get out your giggles about the title now. A truly unique blend of 2D and 3D animation, this thing is an anti-war satire that plays out like a Lane Smith illustration on acid. Lots of acid. Lots of really, really good acid. I love this thing and, like GIT GOB above, the entire short has recently been posted online.
Say hello to MONSIEUR COK here
With all the buzz about recent blaxploitation throwback film BLACK DYNAMITE it's a little surprising that upcoming French release BLACK. Also very much a blaxploitation throwback – though this time a thoroughly modernized one – BLACK stars French musician MC Jean Gab'1 – you'll also be seeing rather a lot of him in the sequel to DISTRICT 13 – as a Senegalese-French bank robber with a tendency to get his crews killed who heads to Africa to pull a diamond heist. Standing in the way: hot Sengalese cops, Russian mercenaries and an arms dealer who seems to be slowly turning in to a snake. This one premiered at SXSW and with the French release coming soon – a Canadian release is also due later this summer – a new teaser has just arrived.

Feeling nostalgic for the golden days of Terry Gilliam and Jean-Pierre Jeunet? Look no further than NEXT FLOOR, the Cannes award-winning short film from Denis Villeneuve, who is kind of the golden child up here in Canada these days, what with this film racking up awards and his most recent feature, POLYTECHNIQUE, having a strong showing in Cannes this year.
Produced under the auspices of the Phi arts collective in Montreal – you'll be hearing more from them in the next two entries – NEXT FLOOR is just gorgeously shot and meticulously detailed, a smart, slyly grotesque piece of political satire. Tasty.
This one is unfortunately not online in its entirety but there are a pair of teasers.
Travel to the NEXT FLOOR here
The latest short from Phi – and one which took home some awards hardware at Worldwide Shorts – is Pedro Pires' DANSE MACABRE, a film that famed Montreal theater artist, film maker, and Cirque Du Soleil collaborator Robert Lepage had a hand in. The short summary of this one is that it tracks a woman from suicide to cremation in eight minutes, but that summary doesn't even begin to do justice to this thing. It's just a hugely impressive, impeccably designed and shot, perfect piece of work.
See the DANSE MACABRE trailer here
Want to know who else is getting involved with Phi? Only Montreal-based musician Melissa Auf Der Maur, formerly of Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins. Along with director Tony Stone (SEVERED WAYS), Auf Der Maur has created OUT OF OUR MINDS, a half hour music-based film that involves Vikings, a missing heart and a car crash. For the earth lover in you the entire film was shot using solar power. For the film lover, it premiered at Sundance.
Find the OUT OF OuR MINDS trailer here
Someone not involved with Phi – though I bet they'd love to have him – is BAFTA nominated animator Osbert Parker. The subject of a retrospective screening at Worldwide Shorts, Parker spent the week in Toronto charming the ladies on the festival staff and winning over crowds with his utterly unique work. The simplest explanation of Parker's work is to say that it's stop-motion, which is true enough but doesn't even begin to touch on the complexity of his films, which blend two dimensional cut outs with three dimensional props and settings that give it all a surprising amount of depth. His FILM NOIR is, appropriately enough, a guns-blazing tribute to the crime films of the fifties and pretty much brilliant.

I promised big pig and big pig I shall deliver. Yes, Korean creature feature CHAW returns to the IEC thanks to a new trailer. The full theatrical trailer for the film runs significantly longer than the earlier effort and boasts significantly more spit and polish. High art? Nah, but I think it looks like an awful lot of fun. And also an awful lot of bacon. Mmmm, bacon ….

The concept of the 48 hour film challenge is becoming a common one these days, aspiring film makers being given just forty eight hours – and zero budget – to write, shoot and edit a short film from start to finish, with contestants required to include a particular prop, phrase and character just to make sure they're being honest about the whole thing and not prepping things in advance. The challenge in New Zealand is one of the earliest of the type and this year I was asked to be a judge for it, about the only time I'm ever likely to be credited alongside Peter Jackson and Guillermo Del Toro. And the winner? An animated shot called CHARLOTTE. Yes, you read that right. Someone planned and executed a complete piece of animation, drawn by hand, in just forty eight hours. And it's fantastic. I don't know who the guy is who crated this but if he doesn't have a career in the field already he's going to have …
Find CHARLOTTE here
For animation of a slightly more polished variety, I direct your attention to SUMMER WARS, the new film from Mamoru Hosoda. Hosoda burst on to the scene a few years back as the director of THE GIRL WHO LEPT THROUGH TIME, a relatively small budget affair from a first time director that was released head-to-head against the latest from animation monsters Studio Ghibli – Goro Miyazaki's TALES FROM EARTHSEA – and thoroughly trounced the monster both in the press and at the box office. It was a classic case of David vs Goliath that very deservedly ended with Hosoda being crowned the next great one and audiences have been waiting for his next ever since. And his next is SUMMER WARS, a scifi adventure loaded with family drama, teen love and colliding worlds. All signs are Hosoda is living up to expectations …

Canadians are weird. All of us. As proof, here is Brandon Blommaert's BATMILK, a short animation produced as part of the same program as Philip Eddol's GIT GOB, linked above. Yep, weird. And fantastic.
Have a taste of BATMILK here
The final feature of the day belongs to Alan Mak and Felix Chong, the writing duo behind INFERNAL AFFAIRS, CONFESSION OF PAIN and a fistful of other notable Hong Kong crime titles of the past few years. The pair of stepped out from the writing desk to direct their own stuff in recent days and their latest such effort is OVERHEARD, a police surveillance thriller starring Louis Koo, Daniel Wu and Lau Ching Wan. With an all-star cast like that and the Mak/Chong combo at the helm, expectations are running very, very high for this. The trailer isn't overwhelming but it is very, very solid.
Find the OVERHEARD trailer here
And, finally, we conclude with THE BLACK DOG'S PROGRESS, a short film made up of a series of interconnected flip books that demonstrates how it is possible to go from a young child being giving a puppy – yay! – to that same puppy being raped and lit on fire. I have nothing further to say.

But it's still amusing. At least I found it so. I have no idea who the mysterious GIANT PIG is either. I don't think it's someone in the CoC.
-
We need Versus2.
-
I like the little robots.
-
Paddington is still a little bitch. On the plus side, this is a fucking superb idea: "An aged RoboCop/Murphy cast out to police the crime-ridden outskirts of Old Detroit that ring the shining beacon of Delta City, facing obsoletion/possible termination. This would naturally ignore the events of RoboCop 2 and 3 and the emotional aspects might be right up Aronofsky's alley. I also don't think this should be an attempt at a new franchise, but the final resolution to Peter Weller's character. And don't bring in his son/wife like the cheesey series and Prime Directives tried to do. I want a movie about a antique cyborg completely alone in the world, facing the end of his life, and one last great battle."
-
surprised nobody's done this yet. It seems kind of obvious.
-
and that was one of the directions that was once proposed, that robocop is this old decrepit machine and he is like a legend to other robots. if they want to make a sequel, fine. but if they are going to take the core concept of frankenstein / americanised religion, I'd love to see a robot that discovers that it was human, and died, and then remembers something else he can't explain, a tree of life, being torn from a resting place... either would be cool.

She needs to either sober the fuck up and get hot and attractive again, or just crawl into a corner somewhere and die. I'm sick as shit about hearing her whine and complain about how no one wants to work with her and no one returns her calls, and "oh man, tv work is soooo hard," while also going out and partying every night and ruining her life. Fuck off, you've squandered everything good you had going for you.

Bob Orci's post in The Hurt Locker review. That really makes me think its not him. First off why does he only post at like 2 in the morning. Well thats easy to explain, when your doing coke all day with M-bay you are up all night with nothing to do while he's out bagging Transformer grouppies. Also wouldn't he know that The Hurt Locker is only coming out in like two cities, would he really even give a shit about that movie, worrying that it would take away from any transformers money?
-
Danny either.
-
so didn't fuck anything. He's also a pussy vegetarian marmalade eating bear so didn't kill anyone. What he does do, is crawl into bed with ironic and then gently spoon him. Ironic strokes his fur afterwards.
-
Then she got all druggie and alcoholic and anorexic and arrogant and bitchy and... well, now look at her.
-
Didn't the most recent movie she did, end up getting its theatrical run caned and dumped onto ABC family?
-
I was just on Yahoo Entertainment web site and they had a picture gallery of Ralph Macchio pics. I guess if he's still big enough star to have a picture gallery of on the main page, maybe Lohan still is then.

are you in love with him? did he break your heart? leave you for sooty?

That is two too many. Might as well open up any of the 20 Watchmen tb's they had up a couple months ago, because they are fucking identical.

...I don't believe it. Harry would be all over his fucking self if the guy that wrote Star Trek was on these boards. He would be name dropping him like a motherfucker. And just shit he says doesn't add up. He thinks Transformers are the first fully CG title characters in a live action film? King Kong? Garfield? There are others...he would know that. and saying, "only naughty robots hump legs, and some of the robots in this movie are very very naughty" Then showing up in the Hurt Locker TB telling people "SEE BOTH!" No fucking way. I don't buy it.

"I hurt you all. I hurt my wife. I hurt my boys. I hurt friends like Tom Davis."
"You know, I'm committed to that process of walking through with Jenny, the boys, with the Tom Davises of the world, with the people of South Carolina, in -- in saying where do we go from here."
"I suspect if I'd really put this other person first, I wouldn't have jeopardized her life, as I have. I certainly wouldn't have done it to my wife. I wouldn't have done it to my boys. I wouldn't have done it to the Tom Davises of the world."

anal cancer, because anal refers to the anus- which is the hole/ ring of muscle. The correct term would be either rectal or Colon, although Colon isn't actually anal. This is strange.

the medical term for anal cancer is "Rothian". A itching, searing sensation in the ringpiece that eventually results in brain death.

I even talked to someone in the zone who worked on the movie in special fx if he had a bodycast of lacey, or one of those cool light up suits she wore... I live in fear chris hansen will find me after I seriously considered saving up to buy a prototype Lacey/penny action figure.

I am going out to see Transformers. I didnt read any of the reviews so even if its complete shit, at least it wont be spoiled shit.
Lohan on the other hand is spoiled shit, and then some. She's nearing Amy Winehouse territory with every passing day. But Lacey Chabert......... mmmmmmmm hmmmmmm!!! What a fine specimen of former jailbait! She is fucking stunning in every way, and totally outclasses her former Party costars Neve And Hewitt.
And Melyssa Ford is one of those girls who's only famous for her ass being displayed in hip hop magazines, just like Buffy the Body, Melissa Reign and the lovely Bria Myles. -

It really might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen and unlike others that isn't hyperbole. Outside of the fight in the forest there isn't one engaging scene in the entire thing. Well actually that isn't entirely accurate...you see..I think this film.....may....have....converted me. Like others here I never thought Megan Fox was hot and always said she looked manish, also she has those gross tattoos, but this film has me convinced she is fucking hot. Maybe its the way they shot her/him but fuck....there is no way you won't want to do any number of awful things with her once you see the film and that includes Mike and Danny.. She/he runs in slow motion half the movie and her tits immediately grab your attention. So anyway skip this movie for your own good. You'll leave with a headache and questioning your sexuality.

Is it wrong that I'm cracking up at 'She/he runs in slow motion half the movie and her tits immediately grab your attention.'

Nice odo.Dammit! I have to agree with Danny on Death at a Funeral.

THE PROFESSIONALS: Part 51
THE BALES OF MADISON COUNTY;
She sat at the end of the bed, the sheet barely clinging to her naked body. She looked up at him, her eyes pleading with him to stay.
“Why?” she finally asked, her voice filled with hurt and pain.
DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD didn’t reply. He stood at the open window, looking out at the lights of Paris at night. He took another long drag from his cigarette before finally turning to face her.
“You wouldn’t understand, baby. I don’t know if I understand it myself. But we just wouldn’t work out.”
“Why?” she repeated, tears building up in her eyes. “I love you. Don’t you love-“
DICKBLOOD cut her off in mid-sentence. “Don’t ask questions to things you don’t really want to know the answer to.”
“Why don’t you love me? Aren’t I beautiful?”
DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD sighed, sat down on the bed next to her. “Let me put it in words you can understand, baby. My lights were trashed. Ok? I walked into someone’s eyeline and they just trashed my lights. And nothing is going to put them up again.”
She studied him for a moment, than said, “This is because of Bale, isn’t it.”
“WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING??” BGDB screamed. “WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THEENK YOU ARE DOING? WHAT IS IT WITH YOU? DO YOU KNOW HOW DISTRACTING YOU ARE?”
She started to cry then, tears flowing down her cheeks. DGBD shook his head, and then pulled her towards him.
“I’m sorry baby. You’re right. Bale is involved. But I am not doing this because of him.”
“Then why?” she asked through her tears.
“Because you are an amateur, and I am a PROFESSIONAL. You’re just ah-da-da-dah, like this in the background. You're a nice guy. You're a nice guy, but that don't fuckin’ cut it when you're fuckin’ around like this on set.”
His words cut into her like knives and she lowered her head. He could hear sobbing escape her. “I’m sorry, but I am done with you professionally.”
She looked up and him, her eyes wet and her lips moist with desire. “Please, just kiss me one last time, “ she begged him, as she dropped the sheet to reveal her beautiful body. “Just kiss me like before.”
DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD leaned over, closed his eyes kissed her. She felt her head growing light with ecstasy.
Little did she know that he was thinking of Bale the entire time. -
And if it's the worst flick you've ever seen then you went in with too high expectations and you need to watch more Wayans Brothers flicks. That said, I enjoyed the first one for what it was, but this one is pretty fucking shitty. 95% of it is sound and fury. It just doesn't bother to stop for more than 1 minute. Like we've got ADHD or something. There is WAY too many fight scenes and WAY too many Decepticons that look exactly then same. And some of the effects looked worse than in the first one. The twins especially sometimes looked like they moved with that shuddery stop motion effect. And *SPOILER* what's with the decepticon that can transform into human form? WTF? The story makes so little sense and is so fucking meaningless it's embarrassing. There were moments that I quite enjoyed. Mainly from Shia's mum. And Turturro was amusing. I'm not sure why Ebert singled him out as having an embarrasing role. He was fine. Both those characters provided some chuckles. It's hackneyed humour, but in this flick it's welcomed in between the unrelenting bashing and crashing. Megan Fox looks pretty hot. Why the fuck she'd stay with Shia is beyond me. I like Bay. I enjoy most of his flicks in one way or another. Sometimes it's because he just doesn't give a fuck what you think about them. He has the balls to make every female on the college campus smoking hot, have a frat party look like it's a Vegas nightclub and lavish the camera's attention on women running and jiggling in slow motion. But fuck me. I wish he'd tone it down just a bit. And he makes horrendous choices, such as stopping cold in the middle of an action scene to attempt unfunny humour. It just breaks the scene and takes you out of it. So in all it was not the disaster everyone is saying it is. It's not the nail in the coffin of the blockbuster like Ebert is saying it is. But if you have no love for the first one, steer well fucking clear of this one.

Liotta can be a great actor though
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Goodfellas of course. But he was in a flick with Tom Hulce that I remember watching years and years ago. They were brothers and Hulce was mentally handicapped and it was about Liotta dealing with him and trying to have a life as well. Pretty moving little flick that one.
-
Brucie followed the weakest clue in the history of cinema. A stamp on an aspirin bottle? Fuck off. The whole ending felt tacked on, which is understandable because it was re-shot. But the original ending didn't work either. It should've concluded on the boat or at least on the island of manhattan where all the rest of the flick took place. Not fucking Canada. It just left me a little underwhelmed is all.

is one of the greatest action sequences ever though. Fucking brilliant.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
just with a disappointing ending. I still rate it highly.
-
An alternative ending to the one shown in the final film was made and can be found on the special edition DVD. In this version it is presumed that the robbery succeeds, and that McClane was used as the scapegoat for everything that went wrong. He is fired from the NYPD after more than 20 years on the force and the FBI has even taken away his pension. Nevertheless he still manages to track Simon using the batch number on the bottle of aspirins, and confronts him in a cafe in Hungary.
In this version, Simon has double-crossed most of his accomplices, gotten the loot to a safe hiding place (Nova Scotia), and has the gold turned into statuettes of a famous landmark (in this case the Empire State Building) in order to smuggle it out of the country; but he is still tracked down to his foreign hideaway. This is very similar to Alec Guinness's situation in the British heist movie The Lavender Hill Mob made some 45 years earlier in which the stolen gold is turned into Eiffel Tower paperweights.
McClane is keen to take his problems out on Simon whom he invites to play a game called "McClane Says". This involves a form of Russian Roulette with a small Chinese rocket launcher with the sights removed, meaning it cannot be determined which end is which. McClane then asks Simon some riddles similar to the ones he played in New York. When Simon gets a riddle wrong, McClane forces him at gunpoint to fire the launcher, which fires the rocket through Simon, killing him. Of course, McClane had been wearing a flak jacket (which was the answer to the final riddle "what could he have brought to the meeting to save his life?"), so even if Simon had pointed the launcher the right way, it's likely that the relatively low-velocity rocket wouldn't have caused McClane enough injury to prevent him from shooting Simon.
In the DVD audio commentary, screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh claims that this version was dropped because the studio thought it showed a more cruel and menacing side to McClane, a man who killed for revenge rather than in self-defense. Hensleigh's intention was to show that the events in New York and the subsequent repercussions had tilted him psychologically. This alternative ending, set some time after the main events of the movie, would have marked a serious break from the Die Hard formula, in which the plot unfolds over a period of roughly 12 hours. -
I love that shit when they're all screaming at one another "PUT THE FUCKIN' GUN DOWN!!" That moment feels raw and real. You just don't get that anymore. I have no fucking clue why....
-
Not a bad scene, but it just didn't work as part of a die hard flick.

That's the one you are talking about Droid. Liotta is great in it. I also liked him in Something Wild.
But I think Liotta is a great B-actor at times, like a modern day Richard Conti or even more like Richard WIdmark. He is at his best when he plays characters that are just barely staying afloat. He was really good in this small neo-noir called Phoenix. Not the greatest movie, but he plays a great character. -
In the score to DH3. Especially when the German chick goes bloodlusty crazy in the vault with that curved knife/scythe. And I could NEVER figure out the water in the bottle thing. One day after like 7th viewing or something, I *finally* had it solved. Then, the next time I saw the movie, I had promptly forgotten it too.

Not quite as horrific as all the reviews, but still damn shitty. If Bay could just quit it with the damn attempts at humor, then we'd have a decent, 30 minutes shorter, watchable robot movie. Cut out Shia's mom's pot freakout (hell, just cut out the parents), the dogs, the dumbass Twins, Turturro, and Megan's fucking pet Decepticon, and it wouldnt be so cringe inducing. At least they surprisingly didnt bring Anthony Anderson back.

Personal note, I think the video to "Thriller" is overrated
by continentalop
Everyone goes nuts because it is like this mini-movie, but what no one brings up is that it is just a really pointless mini-movie. It is summer blockbuster as music video: a bunch of special effects and no plot. Yeah, I know it is a song and not a story, but I still want to feel something other than "Wow! Mike turned into a werecat and a zombie."
Now "Billie Jean" and "Man in the Mirror" were much better videos IMO. Maybe not as flashy, but much more powerful and poignant (especially "Man in the Mirror").
Just my two cents. -
I might seriously be done going on any of the other TB but Twitch. The level of stupidity is amazing on some of them, especially the one with Harry's review of The Transformers. I have never seen so many fucking idiots assembled in one spot making the same argument over and over. It is like they can't read some of the other post and realize that subject has been touched upon already.
And the other thing everybody takes the fact you don't like the same movie as them as some sort of personal attack. I said I thought The Transformers was stupid, I didn't say you were. But your comments make me think otherwise. -
Fantastic makeup work and some phenomenal footwork make a great video. Plus its got Vincent Price.
-
I don't recall ever seeing this in my youth, but its a freaking awesome time-capsule. I mean, Spielberg, Lando, Lou Diamond Philips, Weird Al, Apollo Creed, DANNY GLOVER?
-
Actually, they get it wrong in the film, which is why it's so confusing. The riddle works like this: You've got a 5 litre bottle and a 3 litre bottle (or gallons, whatever). You need 4 litres exactly in the five litre bottle. Fill the 3 litre bottle and pour into the 5 litre. This gives 3 litres exactly. Fill again and pour into the five litre bottle. This gives 5 litres in the 5 litre and 1 litre in the 3 litres. Pour out 5 litre bottle. Pour contents of 3 litre bottle into 5 litre- leaving 1 litre in the 5 litre bottle Fill 3 litre bottle and pour into 5 litre bottle- giving 4 litres exactly. It isn't this precise, and is frankly bullshit- you can estimate it near enough.

Not upset, shocked or anything really. He was a huge talent, which I respect, but as an individual he was a complete and utter fuck up. Thriller is an amazing video, for it's time. Fuck, I have no idea what music videos are like these days, but I bet they're shithouse.

The trailer looks pretty damn good. Got my fingers crossed for that one.

I can't stand this rank hypocrisy over Jackson. Is anyone going to give a fuck when Jonathan King or Gary Glitter kick it? There certainly won't be this revolting wailing and gnashing of teeth. Fuck him "King of Pop" if pop= popping pubescent boys' anal virginity.

iroic's here too. And it isn't my fault that the men are shit while the women are world champions in every version of the sport. I bet the women's side could beat the men. The only real difference may be in fast bowling, but seeing as England will persist with low 80mph shit you may as well play the bird.

I suppose that men can hit it further, but the game's about timing anyhow rather than brute force. Women's rugby is the worst. Beasts, all of them.

Michael Jackson's last request was to be cremated and sprinkled on Coco Pops so he can go through a little kids asshole one last time. That's pretty wrong that one.

Speak out about how MJ got him into the buisness with Bad, I think thats my favorite MJ video. Leave Me Alone is a good video too.

But I got a chuckle out of the MJ jokes. I'm still reeling from the children's ward one.Thanks for all the well wishes guys. But life is actually sort of good right now. Maybe not for long if lawyers become involved but I'm spending insane amounts of time with my dad and brother drinking home brew and watching soccer and it's awesome. Also spending time with the girl who brings me lattes. Her heart it turns out is as big as her breasts. Terrific gal. And most importantly, spending more time than ever with my daughter. So I'm in a good place at the moment.DH3 is a pretty great movie save for the end. But they were headed to Nova Scotia so I forgive it. I saw that in a theater in Halifax and when they mention Nova Scotia the audience erupted. Much as they did at the beginning of Hunt For Red October when the map/text scroll thingy shows the sub off the coast of Nova Scotia.I'd love to get out to see a movie this weekend but it's nothing but crap out there right now.Maybe there's something on the tubes. Watched Knowing last weekend and it was a terrific movie for 2/3s and then it got ridonculous for me and fell apart. So I'm hoping to see something big and loud that delivers all the way through.Almost noon and I could use a beer.

Even if no one ever has the intention of going back
by hawaiian organ donor
Has everyone at least created a ID over at AIBN? It would warm my heart to see the USER list full of the same names I see here.
-
But was he ever convicted of anything? If not, then what's the problem with people mourning his death? Just let them be.
-
Sounds good. Glad to hear things are going well for you!

My father and I took a drive through Canada back in 07. We started in Pittsburgh (where we had a family reunion), and drove through Niagara, Torono, and Montreal. We ended up in Halifax for a few nights. Which was an AWESOME little town. I love the Shoe Shop restaurant/bar. That place was great. I'd love to visit it again.
-
The plot thickens... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXRhmtSU7_c
-
I went to see the movie when I was there a few years ago and the scene where they take out the parking meters looked awfully familiar.
-
Die Hard 3 definitely has some good/great parts to it, but the ending is dog poo. And not one of those little dogs mind you, but Great Dane like. I also didn't like it when they got all tied up there on the boat...too Bond like for my tastes.
-
Motherfucker has payed off kids to AVOID a trail. If he was innocent he would have fought. Fuck him HE'S A BABY RAPER. FUCK HIM, FUCK ANYBODY WHO MOURNS HIM AND I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD GRENADE THE WANTING TO BE ON TV GHOULS. Clear enough? Oh and for the hell of it FUCK THAT CHILD RAPIST ROMAN POLANSKI. I hope there is a hell and I hope it's like Dante Inferno so those two pieces of shit will be enclosed in blocks of ice at the lowest rungs of hell frozen throughout time in their torment and pain.

Quit Lost? Now wants back? I guess GI Joe really does suck.

Ahhh know I get why they called it that. Revenge of the Fallen? No. Rolling on the Floor laughing my ass off to the Bank. Fucker.

This is a Twitch TB. MJ has his own TB.Vader, I spent 17 years in Halifax so half of my life. The other half here in North Carolina.And yes, the Economy Shoe Shop on Argyle Street is a great place. They have live jazz there during the summer and it's my favorite place to be.Trailer Park Boys is shot across the harbor in Dartmouth. A stone's throw away from where I went to school. There's a episode where they're stealing shopping carts from a mall parking lot right in front of a men's suit store. That store was my first job in high school.Latte Girl is awesome. She now brings me beer and expensive port. And I bring her lunch everyday. And she wants to go to Panther games with me so that's a huge bonus.
-
But I can see how some people might have a problem with it.
-
Investigation was shut down due to lack of evidence. He could have paid them off so he didn't have to go through a lengthy trial where his name was constantly dragged through the mud in the media, innocent or guilty. This isn't quite the same thing as Polanski, who pretty much admitted his guilt and fled. This is a case of people latching on to media reports and speculation based on accusations and a payoff. Its not quite the same thing as admitted guilt or a conviction.
-
And that aint right. Sorry, HOD, just missed your request to steer away from the MJ talk. This is the last I'll speak of it.
-
If any deceased character on that show deserved a scene-after-death, its Eko.
-
I love the interior design, with all the fake trees and sprawling branches and limbs "growing" up into the ceilings and walls. The whole interior is just fantastic. After dinner we went downstairs, had a few post-dinner drinks, and watched an underground hip hop group made of mostly white guys perform. We had a great time. Latte girl sounds great. You bring her lunch now? Sounds like something could be blossoming... Go Panthers! I had a dream last night about buying season tickets, thinking they were cheap and I had the money. I'm glad it was a dream bc something tells me its a stupid idea and I'd never be able to afford it.
-
I don't know. As Vader said, investigation was shut down do to lack of evidence. Could have been because of Michael's resources, but it also could have been because he really was innocent.
I'm not a big fan of jumping to conclusions based on assumptions. I mean, does anyone here ever remember the McMartin preschool trail? People who worked in a preschool were all charged with molesting kids and it turned out to be the biggest witch hunt ever. People's lives were ruined because of the accusation of being child molesters. So I am always a little cautious about saying that someone is a molester - you just don't really know.
HOWEVER, with Michael I do hold several things against him. One of which is that here is a man who has no kids but builds a amusement part in his yard AND ADMITS to sharing a bed with children. Maybe he didn't molest kids but he did have an unhealthy relationship with them. A relationship that makes it quite a logical jump to wonder if this guy is maybe doing more than just playing patty cake with them. I think there is nothing wrong with people suspicious of him and saying "Hey, sorry, but we don't consider this to be appropriate behavior of an adult male in our society, and by acting this way you make us think that maybe something is wrong with you."
So in conclusion, I think it is strong to say for certain he was a child-molester of pedophile but I don't think it is wrong to say "Great musician, but he always rubbed me wrong - especially when I was at Neverland as a kid." -
I worked on a movie in Edenton, NC back in the summer of 2005. The house I stayed in was right next to the Little Rascals daycare, that had similarly insane accusations leveled against it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Rascals_Day_Care_Center
-
You almost forget how big it was in the 80s. Wikipedia actually has an entry on it and shows how many cases there were besides McMartin and Little Rascals Day Care Center:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_care_sex_abuse_hysteria
-
Nothing wrong with ozzies. Lot of fine looking women in Perth.
-
Because Edenton is a very small town and they're all still pretty affected by the Little Rascals incident. One of the loglines for our story could go (and at times did) "Two young boys growing up in a small town have their lives changed when they start working for a mysterious stranger that shows up in town." We were afraid many residents would think we were somehow capitalizing on their incident, especially with lines like "Just what do you think he's doing with those two boys? That's what I wanna know..." even though the relationship was completely harmless. He just gave them an old camera and they took pictures of him. Daiii mean, FOR him.
-
And by that, I mean I'm glad no one leveled any accusations against them. The investigations would have screwed me up more than I am now.
-
PTA was having babies with Maya Rudolph? Also just found out that, he was born into film making. Seriously the more and more I read about how people were born into movies, the more I realize that it just wasn't meant to be.
-
I'm not saying that a lot of them aren't talented, but truthfully so many of them get there start because they have family in the business. If you have ever read the book Outliers, who can see what a great advantage that is to get you a jump start over everyone else.
-
I don't know anything about PTA being born into a camera.
-

-
The not convicted in the court of law defense is a schck and jive semantic defense. Scumbags that rape children don't just make make one mistake. There is a PATTERN to thier actions. MJ has a pattern of documented BEHAVIOUR.Action is the only TRUTH. if you did it once you've done it at least a dozen times. So in conclusion for the last time FUCK HIM HE'S A CHILD RAPIST.
-
All of these kids where at least six. Hardly babies.
-
My statement was that I am not 100% sure he molested kids. I don't know that for certain.
HOWEVER, I do know he acted inappropriately again and again. As you said he has a PATTERN of documented BEHAVIOR. And while I am not going to go to the length of saying I know for certain that he is an actual molester I will say he did enough things wrong to make me suspicious and hold it against him.
Maybe Strom Thurmond was never a member of the Klan, and I would never make a statement that "Strom was a Klansman", but there is enough evidence for me to say "Man, I wouldn't doubt that Strom was a Klansman."
Subtle difference maybe, but to me an important distinction. -
Just bc someone is extremely weird and acts inappropriately does not automatically mean the guy is a criminal. Its a way to get to that conclusion but not a conclusion in and of itself. Nor would I lump his supporters into the same category for simply not believing the accusations.
-
I'm not saying everyone is Francis Ford Coppola nephew, just a lot of people had parents who either had local film experience or a lot of theater work. Though I am glad I hear less and less about people just going to hollywood and making it. I just read that how J Deep did it.
-
Who insist they made it on their own with no help from their parents. And yes, maybe their parents didn't really get them a job or something, but i always like to point out to them how they got access to cameras and expensive equipment that the rest of us could only dream of. I mean, who the fuck gets access to a HVX-200, Final Draft, Final Cut Pro, Pro Tools and a lighting kit except for the child of a filmmaker? And on top of that they also get to see how a set operates and have someone in the business show them the ropes - you can learn half the business from osmosis alone.
Now I am not holding it again them, but I always think they should recognize how lucky they were to have access to information and equipment that the rest of us could only dream off. Not to play the "poor me" card, but I had to learn how to edit by reading the manual and staying late a Concorde/New Horizon so I could get a chance to tinker around, while sleeping in my car because I was working as an unpaid intern/PA.
But I'm not bitter or anything. -
And you guys can thank her when I finally put your DVD packages in the mail on Monday.
-
But interesting quote by Michael Levine, Jackson's former publicist:
"As someone who served as Michael Jackson's publicist during the 1st child molestation incident, I must confess I am not surprised by today's tragic news.
Michael has been on an impossibly difficult and often self-destructive journey for years. His talent was unquestionable but so too was his discomfort with the norms of the world.
A human simply can not withstand this level of prolonged stress.” -
Very glad to hear things are on the up for you, mate.
-
Latte Girl! Nice goin', man.

3 nights. 3 fookin nights they've been caterwauling down the road from me! And I've just found out they're on another TWO fookin nights! What a din! Bunch of mewling twats.

But I liked SOME of his music thru the years. Personally he was repellent and I'm sure Xiphos is right (to a point) about his guilt w/ kids etc. You can still be a fan and mourn him etc for all I care, it's a free world. Even Billy Martin got a decent obit, and he was nothing if not a nasty abusive drunk and then some, you know? But a great manager nonetheless. Never been over to Halifax, though grew up just a few minutes from the New Brunswick line. It just wasn't on my radar screen to be honest. We always headed for Bangor or S of there you know?
-
But you know what I meant.

because science has confirmed it. what the fuck does mean? was it some bloke called science? i don't know what that means!!!

Google search 2012 to learn the truth!
-
It's going to be the best aussie movie for a while. I like the fact that it androgynous, like the matrix. it could be set anywhere. i also like that they have not felt the need to stick to aussie actors, theyve mixed local talent with external - sam neil (kiwi) that chick from secret life of us. Often aussie movies try too hard to be aussie rather going with the story. these guys are going to be huge.
-
I've been keen on seeing that for quite a while. Great cast, good concept. Hoping it works.

back when i was working nights, about four years ago. funny thing is that you cant recognise any of brisbane in it (the trailer at least)

Yeah, pretty dark looking flick
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But I guess that's par for the course on a vampire flick. I haven't seen Undead. Is it worth a look? Most of the praise I've seen is solely because it's so low budget.
-
Looks very good. Who's doing the cover version of Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill'? Gave me a shiver that did.
-
i really loved undead. some of the jokes toward the end fall flat but overall it was excellent. not just because it was zero budget. there are a couple of bits that i can only call 'camera jokes' that work really well. just visual jokes. the sound design was pretty cool as well, with the dudes play out door cricket, drinking their vb and you hear the vb swishing around in the bottle. it is a bit porno (three barreled shot gun) but that is on purpose. overall i really liked it. i can see it has a potential to be disliked for all those same reasons, but i think it works.
-
Really good cover, and very effective on the trailer.
-
it's all totally true

You're a dick. Funny though, i'll give you that.

my missus says maybe 5. It was when i was still working at the casino which i quit about 4-5 years ago. like i said, i just assumed it had gotten a dvd release and was sunk or something.

i was just reading about it and it says filming occured in early 2007. maybe they had a false start or something. I distinctly remember them blocking off a street in brisbane. i don't know, i'm questioning myself now. but im sure they roped off a street for it when i was still working nights. maybe there were false starts or something.

so its been in production since 2004

Does anyone else get the feeling Megan Fox is unappreciative...
by d.vader
And I mean, really unappreciative of Transformers? Here's the film that made her a sex symbol superstar, the new flavor of the week, and lately all she seems to do is offer backhanded compliments toward the movies and the people that made her famous. I saw her on some talk show yesterday; I think it was live with Regis and William Shatner, and they showed a clip from the movie. When it came back, Regis was talking about the clip, the audience was cheering, and Fox said something like "oh look, I got some screentime finally," or something to that effect. Its not out and out dissing the films that gave her fame, like that Katherine Heigl biatch did with "Knocked Up", but it still strikes me as weird. Its like she's trying to distance herself from these films to prove she *can* act, hoping she'll get some more roles in the future, but I feel like the best way you can do that is to.... well, act better and go to more auditions to prove you're capable.
-
"So, to sum up: Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinema, if not the greatest. You could easily argue that cinema, as an artform, has all been leading up to this. It will destabilize your limbic system, probably forever, and make you doubt the solidity of your surroundings. Generations of auteurs have struggled, in vain, to create a cinematic experience as overwhelming, and as liberating, as ROTF."

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That review boggles the mind. Never in my life did i think a review could reach such a level of awesomeness. "so i wnet to a barfirst off all and the bar is got lots of collage kids in there and one girl is real hot but wehn she speeks she say " its my tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn " like that becase she is is playing pool and her voise is so annyoing and i thinkshe is is not hot anymore .aslo she is with guyswith big hairstlyes who were idoits!" HAHAHAHAHA!!! Read this fucking review. I'm not kidding, it's a slice of solid gold.
-
Was he always attached to direct Bruno? I thought someone else was going to do it when it was first announced.
-
Again! Take what? You're rubbish! So shut up then!Going to watch Twitch trailers now - in a huff...
-
Big Robots Hitting Each Other Once Again. This could be fun. Or catatonia inducing. I'll see.
-
on the Day Breakers trailer. I've never listened to them. But that sounded like a good cover version. Cheers.Unfortunately, YouTube won't play the fucking video, something to do with me being in the UK. Piss off then, YouTube.
-
Giant robots punching each other in their giant robot faces. Incessantly but in a non-racist manner. In IMAX, preferably. Take something to read, just in case.
-
Despite being all over that shithouse Dangerous Liaisons in a high school flick with Witherspoon, they are actually pretty good. Check out Meds. Good album.
-
I think they're going for 'Jaws', only with a Big Pig.
-
That was them, I think. So I have heard something - caught that on Later With Jools Holland years ago.Will look out for Meds.
-
while a good film, it needed more ninjas.
-
http://tinyurl.com/kl33wnI'm guessing Transformers and Twilight are thier realms.
-
....stupid talkback!
What I was trying to say is that Placebo's Meds is a great album. I also like the new one, Battle for the Sun. I have to download their previous ones, or at least their greatest hits one. -
Meh. I really like the one before it. Sleeping with Ghosts. That is one of my favorite albums ever. They have a extra disc on that with covers that's really good, including the Pixes fight club song. I only liked 1 or 2 songs on meds, need to go back and listen to it. I don't actually have it, I lost it when my external crashed, but I have a physical copy of Sleeping with Ghosts. Didn't know they had a new one sound go soulseek it.
-
But I really like the new Linkin Park Trannyforms song. I've known about them since before they were famous. I never thought they would get huge, until like a year or two later this kid I knew that only liked popular music came up and tried to tell me about them, and I was really them? That was back when I actually followed and care about music. Music sucks now, thank god MJ is all over the radio, finally something worth listening to.
-
I was going to see Drag me Heck at a drive in tonight, never been to a drive in was really excited. Fucking fucked up my ankle at soccer now I'm all hopped up on meds and too tired to go. Maybe its showing tomorrow.
-
Been waiting to hear some Ben. When are they going to realize that he once did a soundtrack to a schlocky sequel movie?

-
Under appreciated Megan Fox is not at all. Yea, that made sense.
-
Only a live version of it. Which isn't bad, but I wanted to hear what Series was talking about. Love me some Pixies. They're one of my favorite bands. You know what's a great song and no one would ever know/think of it? "Pray For the Girls" by Frank Black from the Powerpuff Girls soundtrack. Its FUCKING AWESOME and highly recommended.
-
She's doing a Harry Potter sketch. She's 17. I don't think she ever looked better.
-
One of the greatest SNL sketches ever? I think so.
-
great ending to fight club, great song.
-
Yeah, "Where is My Mind?" works perfectly for Fight Club. Thank god for it; its what turned me on to the genius that is the Pixies.

1) If petergrifin is just some twat or jerk ranting and raving and trolling for a fight with his transformers opinion, well, than we are just humoring him and, better yet, completely negating his right to look for a fight by praising his review.
2) If petergrifin is just a fraud, someone who is pretending he doesn't know how to spell, well good for him. Of course, I doubt pity was this person's desired result and after awhile he will get bored and stop posting as petergrifin.
3) Now, if petergrifin is sincere, and that is his normal level of thought and spelling and grammar ability, than I really believe that he is mentally handicapped to a certain degree. And if that is the case, I see nothing wrong with making someone who is obviously less fortunate than the rest of us feel better about himself.
I have no problem ripping into Script Girl or Bob Orci or some TBer who is being a douchebag, but I draw the line at making fun or ridiculing someone who might very well suffer from a mental disorder or who has a developmental disability. Plus, when how often on a TB can you do a "good deed" and make someone less fortunate than you feel good? -
Yeah I know. We beat Spain, and now are going to beat Brazil.
Warning to the rest of the world - a country that calls the sport "soccer" instead of "football" might soon be a force to reckon with. -
2-1 now.
-
It's basically the same as the first-more robots fighting, more robots in the overlong chaotic fight at the end, hmmmmmm more lines for the Bots, etc. I donno what the big deal is about, frankly. It's BETTER than Terminator IV there-and I liked that, actually--and ditto Angels and Demons. It's a Mikey Bay movie, AKA Big Robots Hitting Each Other One More Time. Don't go see it if you didn't the like the first one, but---it's about the same in quality, seems to me. I liked it.
-
I'm going to do it. I'm gonna watch Twilight.

Dang. I'll be sure to check that out too.

I assumed that English was a second (third?) language for him. And I started to develop a small amount of affection for him when he declared that Transformers 2 (I may be paraphrasing here) "is best most American movie."
He's got that right. -
the review on AIBN, though.

Never write off Brazil.Good effort though - and a superb win against Spain in the semi.
-
Twilght? Do you feel the need to punish yourself for the untimely death of Billy Mays? I do.
-
Is a lot sadder then MJ, sounds like he had Natasha Richardson syndrome. Pitchmen has been one of my favorite shows, and he was just on Conan last week. He is the real WOW death, the other three it was coming. I keep seeing this pictures of MJ and all I can think is, he looks like death. And there are pictures from the early 90s.
-
Gives you nothing to do. I've watch The Cars That Ate Paris, Glengary Glen Ross and now watching the Tommy Cruise Nazi movie. Fuck I was hoping the drive in was showing Drag me to Heck tonight again, but they are not. Damnit.
-
Trannyforms tonight, but I just hate myself. Like I know I'm going to hate it, I don't want to give it any money but that doesn't seem like it will matter. I don't want to be so disappointed again, but yet I so badly want to go. I want to see how bad it is. Man I hope this movie tanks next week.
-
The Box. I wonder what got it greenlight? The director of the fact that its written by the guy who wrote I am William Tiberius Smith? I'm betting that it was the author seeing how much money I am Legend made and how its been remade a million times just like the Box. I like how Donnie Darko left that out in his interview.
-
It was a lotta fun, but-I'm biased and pre-sold to like Both Big Robots AND Bay. It did what I knew it would. If you hated the last one-well you're Bound to hate this one, too. But I liked it. It's certainly NOT the worst of the big summer movies-Angels and Demons, for example, and Terminator IV, I thought this was better, and as for Trek-that I enjoyed more than TF II, sure. Ditto Up. Stuff like Land of the Lost, Year One and GI Jose there look like shitfests even I will avoid.

On an unrelated note, a commercial for the "Street Fighter" DVD just played on tv, and I swear I heard Ryu's old "Hadoken!" sound bite from the video game. WTF was that doing there? IS that how they're going to try and sell the film? By reminding Street Fighter fans that their favorite character isn't in this movie?

actually sounds hilarious to me.

Mutant Chronic. I DVR'ed it. I've actually seen 4 movies today and shit load of TV. Fucking up my ankle is the best thing to happen to my Movie viewing in a while. I will probably fall asleep watching it tonight. Oh yeah watched Phobe In Wonderland, don't bother it sucked, though I don't think this was on anyone's list of movies to see. Glengary Glen Ross, save for the Alec Baldwin part the whole thing just felt so PLAY to me, yeah I know its a play but its was so obvious a play. It was ok and all, reminded me of In the Company of Men (which I guess steals from it seeing as that it came second) but I liked Company better. I just was expected something more. The Cars That Ate Paris, what a weird fucking movie. Not weird crazy, just weird odd, also weird that they main guy from Mad Max (which is on this week! Get to see it again since like forever) has had such a long ass career, he was the Trainman in Matrix 2: Die Harder. Tom Cruise Nazi movie, it was well done and all. There was just nothing there. They try to kill Hitler, think they do, realize they didn't the end. Maybe they should have just made up their own story, would have been a lot more fun. But it was good stuff, like a more traditional War Film in the sense. I think everyone did a great job, the story just wasn't there. Phobe In Wonderland, Girl has weird form of turrets, and that is a spoiler. That's all the fucking movie was. Me and my lady friend were trying to remember what we saw that made her want to see it.
-
Sorry to say that it was not as good as I had hoped it would. There's no way of getting into the problems of the film without some serious spoilers so suffice it to say there is just way too many plotholes and inconsistencies. Also the it takes the characters, or character I should say, in the movie ages to figure out what the audience has figured out about 15 minutes in. I still liked it but it frustrates me because I think the screenplay needed just one more polish and this could have been a masterpiece.
-
Oh, you crazy yanks getting ahead of yourselves at half time. "We beat Spain and Brazil". Woops! No you didn't. But 1 out of 2 ain't bad. Good effort.
-
I was there on Friday and can confirm that comes straight from Landis himself. He was mystifyingly proud that he'd sold the rights.
-
delusional but funny. PS- this is the worst Brazil side, ever. Mrs. Jarv's brother periodically sends me emails that I'm pretty certain constitute little more than death threats against Dunga for playing 2 holding midfield players.

Saw Terminator Balevation on the weekend
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And I actually quite enjoyed it. It wasn't brilliant, and maybe I could've watched anything after Trannyformers and thought it was good, but it was pretty good i thought. Worthington was good. Bale was less irritating in the actual flick than in the trailers. The 12 year old that plays Kyle Reese was good. McG's direction was okay. Not brilliant and some of the shots were too close up and confusing. Overall i'd probably give it a 3 out of 5.
-
Fuck.
-
For the american werewolf screening? I completely forgot about it. I would've gone.
-
useless Irish cunt was on the pitch for 10 minutes and cost us the fucking game. Bullshit, says I.
-
The thing is, although it's a Terminator flick, it feels so different to the others that you don't really sit there making comparisons. You just take it as an action flick set in the future with killer robots. I would say it feels more like the zion scenes in Matrix. Thankfully without the drum n bass dance scene.
-
Got a bit pissed and then cursed the state of London Transport as I tried to get home.
-
yuck.
-
Jun 29, 2009 3:51:46 AM CDT
Yeah, it took me 2 hours to get home last night
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
From east london. Got home at 1:30am. London transport is fucked.
-
Landis was signing overpriced copies of his autobiography.
-
Jun 29, 2009 3:53:44 AM CDT
That whole d n b scene in the matrix is...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
one of the biggest WTF moments I've had in a cinema. Really? Stop a sci-fi action flick for a fucking dance number? Jesus tittyfucking christ.
-
fucking hate the night bus. I'm not convinced that the cunts actually exist. Ended up getting a taxi at Euston fucking Road. That sort of shit ruins a night.
-
..Someday the US will be a power to reckon with in Association Football. Bound to happen. We are a nation of 300 million with a high number of immigrants coming from "futball" obsessed cultures, and soccer is growing in popularity amongst other Americans.
Even if only 25% of the US has any interest or background playing the game, that still gives us a pool of 75 million to get players from. And the UK only has a pool of 61 million.
Not bragging, but just stating a simple fact. Someday the US will become a serious contender for the World Cup and other football titles. Population and demographics alone says it will happen. -
Jun 29, 2009 3:58:57 AM CDT
I was about to say fuck John Landis...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
but then i looked at his wiki and saw that he 7 out of 8 flicks he directed in a row were Animal House, Blues Brothers, American Werewolf, Trading Places, Spies Like Us, Three Amigos and Coming to America. All varying degrees of genius. Damn impressive streak that one.
-
not just because it tarnished the ending of the first one. Unspeakably awful
-
Kind of cheesy but it's going pretty good. Though I do think the monster looks like shit so far.
-
Actually the one movie you didn't list, Into the Night, wasn't that bad IMO. And before that streak he did Kentucky Fried Movie - a without-a-doubt 100% cult classic.
-
it's very annoying. Conti- No point comparing us to the US in football. We suck and are probably worse than the US. I would point out though, that the sporting culture outside of the US is totally different- by the time your players get drafted our lot have already been professional for as much as 5 years and got invaluable experience way before their American counterparts. It probably will happen at some stage, but there will be some fucking big nations in the way.
-
Haven't seen it so I didn't list it.
-
ah the lions... need i say more.
-
"Even if only 25% of the US has any interest or background playing the game, that still gives us a pool of 75 million to get players from. And the UK only has a pool of 61 million."but the uk arn't any good at soccer. even australia beat them last time we played. and we have no respect for the game whatsoever.
-
We play it allllllll the time, but on the pro level, it's not quite there yet. But getting there.
-
and it's our national sport apparently. We're getting a lot better, and are now regarded as one of the top 10 sides in the world. Which is about right- but we'll always lose when it matters. England have been worryingly good recently. It's most unlike them, and the Under 21's look really good.
-
Jun 29, 2009 7:28:39 AM CDT
That's just to get your hopes up, Jarv
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
They will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and all the poms will start fighting. That's literally what happened in the last world cup when I England lost to Portugal. I was in a pub watching it, the final whistle went and about three fights immediately broke out. Hilarious.
-
All English sport does. *sigh*
-
Playing a lil bit o football (soccer) this weekend.
-
I guess with all the chube strikes right now it is. But trust me its easier to get around the British chube and the german rail system (and I don't even speak German) then it is to get around the New York train system. Also its a pain in the ass to get around Holland as well, they don't even mark the damn underground train stations.
-
You saw Landis this weekend? Did he talk about any new plans to kill little children? Or harass more cultural icons for money to the point of making them want to overdose on pain killers?
-
And Landis said he sold the rights? Did he say it was specifically for a remake or he just didn't care?
-
and not only did he not seem to care, he seemed chuffed. He was rude about AWIP though. Which was nice.
-
Didn't he both write and direct AWIP?
-
It's feeding time! GIANT PIG!!!
-
Why did I think he had directed that? I must have misread some credits after I caught the end of it on a local tv channel within the past few years. He did write Blues Brothers 2000 and direct that, though. Maybe that's where I got confused. Heh, and he directed the Beverly Hills Cop movie with the random as hell George Lucas cameo.
-
Paris was directed and written by the same bloke who did Nine Miles Down and Mute Witness (you can find a review of at My mavra in Echos 30 days of horror).
-
It was pretty cool, like a movie version of Sunshine.
-
Julie Delpy's insight to the male mind.
-
By God, I miss it.
-
Forgot all about it. Changed channels to see the last 10 minutes. Looked like the whole thing was an MTV The Real World style personal confession to a camera-type deal about the craziness going on around them.
-
Its like a real world: Space. But it was cool. Better then Terminator The Show or Dollhouse, or fucking pretty much all TV right now.
-
result.
-
I definitely have come to hate worlds that resemble Sky Captain. And hellboy didn't even need to be in that since he didn't even register as a pertinent character for me. Though I suppose it would be okay as a sci-fi original movie. Other than that, wasted my time watching the Mets get Destroyed by the Yanks. Fucking pathetic.
-
Don't know if you saw it or not, but it shows that Kurtzman and Orci weren't responsible for that giant unexplained plot hole of Nero's missing 20 years in space.
-
Is everyone done?
-
It was just an unusual day here. I had to actually work for a change. Not professional.
-
If there was actually movies news worth talking about. I think AIBN has less to do with peoples absence than the fact that the only news we get is about Trannyformers or a remake of AAWIL.
This is shit I don't need to hear about. -
that got cut guy thinks everyone's getting "pissy" about the meaning of 'Bones.'Nobody's getting pissy, they're just trying to tell him it's short for "sawbones", another word for doctor, or surgeon.Yeh, it's very clever what O&K came up with to explain the 'Bones' nickname. But is it really because they didn't expect anyone nowadays would know what the term "sawbones" pertains to?
-
(or 'soccer' - whatever that means). I used to play a bit too back in the day. I was quite good - like a cross between Robinho and Buster Keaton after 12 litres of drambuie.
-
but was scuppered with work. The same was probably true for Droid.
-
low 30's pleasant smell of cooking garbage coming off the streets of Camden. Major cities are horrible when the heat rises. I'm going to the park in lunch.
-
if what you say is true. It was pointless unnecessary over-explanation. Bones has so many different medical connotations, was it really needed to fix on one and then explain it?
-
Give it a solid 8/10. I got really into it up until it kind of lost me in the last 20 minutes. My mind kept straying all during the last fight. The monster was okay I just wish they had come up with a better design. Anyone think it would have been a good idea to keep the fact that Kainan was from space from the audience until he tells the story about what they did to the Moorwen? Up until that point they could have easily concealed it and made it look as if he was just some foreigner and then just leave some clues. Then when he tells the story we finally see where he's from in flashback form. Think it would have been neat.
-
First of the morning.
-
where the voice converter turns him from speaking what sounds like Norweigen into "Norse" that sounds like English. I love moments like this,
-
rocks. Harry is a dick for undersupporting it.
-
of any 'first for the morning' competition. I live to the east of you. plus we actually get giant pigs here.
-
Any times a good time for GIANT PIG! Work is atrocious at the moment. Hence the disappearing act yesterday. And it fucking sucks getting here on the tube. Sweating like a rapist on trial all the way to work.
-
I could have sworn the crowd was jammed full of GIANT PIGS. Just some silly cunt had taught them to walk on 2 legs.
-
True, However, I think that you are actually to the West of AICN's timezone and I may just sneak the odd one. BTW Hauritz is the worst fucking player I've seen in a baggy green in a long time.
-
They're all shit. This is good. Bad News= they won't play them. This is very irritating.
-
But yes, Hauritz ain't much chop. And they won't play him, which I have maintained from day 1. They will bowl katich and clarke for some slow arm chinaman. And let Mitchell Johnson do the rest! hehe
-
Like it matters...
-
Clarke's back is fucked. Monty= meh, Swann= Good, Rashid= Potentially fucking brilliant. I agree though, they won't play Hauritz.
-
fucking Fat alky freddie has declared himself fit. Shit. This unbalances the side as the egotistical cunt will want to bat at 6 when he should be below Broad. And his bowling ain't that fucking good anymore either.
-
Fucking twat. And England choose to ignore the damning win/loss record when he plays.
-
Shouldn't those damn yankees be in by now?
-
I started watching The Greatest Show on Earth last night, which I'd never seen. I only watched about 40 minutes in until I bailed to go to bed. Damn, Heston looked fucking young in it.
-
And I was like, was Nic Cage in that movie? Then I realized that Chris The Oz Klien is growing out the Cage Rage dew.
-
What we talkin' bout today, eh govnah?
-
I'll meet you by the underground.
-
mixed herbs masquerading as marijuana, thanks. Work is a right bastard today.
-
"Nash! Out!"
-
You CANNOT take your eyes off of him when he's on screen and the movie is only worth watching because of him. If he had done it on purpose I'd say he deserves 10 Oscars at least.
-
Jun 30, 2009 10:41:10 AM CDT
It truly is the stuff of legend
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Rumour is they expanded the Oscars to 10 Nominations just so they could nominate him 10 times! 5 wasn't enough!
-
Damn.
-
out of top 10? That's bad.
-
that's weak
-
And feast on the blood of the unbelievers. Shouldn't there be a DVD column today? God Harry is such a slacker.
-
and no matter how horrid you think it is, it is in fact worse. It's about 9 hours long as well or at least it feels like it.
-
ciao.
-
Yeeeeeessh, Jarv...
-
behaving like self indulgent twats. Awful shit. Pig ugly women and when Samantha said that she was going to fuck the neighbour because she wanted to, and that she was only staying with the guy that nursed her through chemo because he nursed her through chemo I nearly puked. What made it worse was that the other women were fucking telling her to dump him because she'd put on a bit of weight.I was fast-forwarding it every time Mrs. Jarv left the room, and it is, without a shadow of a doubt the most wank film I've seen this year. I would rather watch a super elongated directors cut with PIRATE nonsense version of Turdmen than sit through that heinous crap again.
-
I may rewatch Big Trouble in Little China again to remind me of a time when I didn't want Kim Cattrell to fall down a lift shaft.
-
with GIANT PIG.
-
back in the charts. And a topic to work on.
-
I'm going to do Jarv's 10 mint and 10 Wank list
-
Again. So I'm out of trainning now, and got nothing to do at work.
-
Posted 'Sketch 102 - A Shark Is NOT A Fox' to blip.tv: http://blip.tv/file/2303765 What if Megan Fox was the shark in jaws? (Lack of year continuity was intentional.)
-
I didn't realize we were so close to getting back on.
-
Of getting knocked off the list, maybe. Who gives a shit about another film where Denzel doesn't do any actual acting?
-
Sharks in Venice (fat man in wet suit!)....King Arthur - fuck, this was bad...Babylon A.D. - boring as fuck....Forgetting Sarah Marshall - fucking forgettable indeedBest I've seen this year previously never seen....Hard Rock Zombies - near perfection in hilarity...seriously, Hitler, midget who eats himself...Red Cliff pt 1 - loved it and the character interaction....Space Mutiny - another classically bad movie, with the "chase" scene a particular standout in my mind....Death Sentence - holds a warm spot in my heart, thanks Kevin!...Mongol - thought this was a pretty solid film.
-
Show Twitch and GIANT PIG some respect before I feast on your entrails!
-
I have 2for2true on my side you pork infidel! If The Bates could not withstand my lord, what chance does a GIANT PIG have?
-
Jun 30, 2009 12:39:09 PM CDT
Worst films I've seen this year...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Turdmen and Trannyformers 2 stick out in my mind. Fucking horrible experiences.
-
The Clive Owen flick? I actually enojyed that movie way back when.
-
I really enjoyed as well. Saw the directors cut, went back and watched the last half hour of the theatrical cut, and I fucking hated it.
-
has anyone seen this? It looks like it could be awesome? Its directed by Joel the main event Schumacher. It was the first movie he made right before he directed his own Palme d'Or D.C. Cab.
-
Shit poodles. The greatest actor of our lives, Chris Klein was WAS! going to star in the upcoming Oscar bait movie Town Creek directed by stated above director. It could have been a cinema match made in heaven. Now it stars the dumb brother from Prison Break. But it is still directed by the man behind the Wiz, so it'll be genius.
-
Produced AVP and AVP:R. What a douche.
-
Not the greatest, and has stood up to the test of time. It has the feel of a late 70s TV movie, especially because of the subject matter (chemical poisoning caused by products).
-
I of course only saw the theatrical cut. After witnessing the power of the DC from Kingdom of Heaven, I will withhold my final judgment on Babylon A.D. until seeing its DC version.
-
Jun 30, 2009 2:42:01 PM CDT
We are out of the Top 10 again!
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
We are not bringing our A game, fellow CoC'ers.
-
Roast THE GIANT PIG!
-
Shouldn't you be downing some pints?
-
Blackberry one. Not a big fan of the flavored beers, but Mrs. Pillow, who is not a beer drinker by any stretch, enjoyed it immensely. I will now be on the lookout for a 12 pack of blackberry Sam.
-
And surprise, surprise...it's been sunny now for 4 fucking days in a row. Wa-hoo!
-
Just relaxing this fine evening.
-
Why?
-
If you roast GIANT PIG, his mother, MASSIVE FUCKING PIG won't be happy. Carnage will ensue.
-
I'm not saying that the directors cut is really going to change anything. If you hated the movie all the way through it won't do anything for it. But I enjoyed it and thought it was a fun silly Sci-Fi. But the mangled ending of the theatrical cut is just shit. Also in the DC he dedicated the film to his daughters.
-
plus my steady #2 pencil, freshly sharpened. I ain't scared of no stinking pig, GIANT, MASSIVE, or otherwise.Hmmm...GIANT PORK on the grill.
-
I just don't like it. First off I never get drunk or even remotely tipsy on it. Secondly it always seems to be warm. Like I've never had an ice cold Sam Adams.
-
I'm so underwhelmed by that. I usually like QT, but the trailers just do nothing for me. Hopefully it won't be a second stinker in a row for him.
-
but the ending really sucked, and made the movie far worse.
-
A comedy where Jackie Chan was going to play a terrorist-foiling window washer at the World Trade Center. I think they still should have made it.
-
But I think I may like Michelob's wheat beers more after trying those recently.
-
The Expendables. Thank you.
-
Jun 30, 2009 2:54:51 PM CDT
That better be one big fucking #2 pencil
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It needs to penetrate the inch thick, leathery hide of GIANT PIG!
-
back in the top ten.
-
the #2 pencil will find its mark...
-
Jun 30, 2009 2:56:38 PM CDT
Expendables will be much better for sure
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I just fucking hate the fact that Eli Cockbag Roth is in it.
-
In IB that is. Not expendables.
-
Directed by the guy behind Exorcist II: The Heretic and Zardoz and Deliverance. Hmmmmmmm
-
I love Boorman's old films, but he doesn't seem like much of family film director. Point Blank doesn't scream out "Bring the kids!"
-
Abe Vigoda must be working overtime
-
Ron Pearlman was 58 when he played Hellboy.
-
Should write a book. I'd read it. Even if its nothing special it would just be fun to read.
-
this Chris Klein performance. Sounds classic.
-
About the "clever" writing on the Bones thing - I was being slightly sarky.It's difficult typing in a sarky manner, doesn't translate sometimes...
-
it was redundant.
-
Jun 30, 2009 4:13:05 PM CDT
I second that Ron Pearlman book Series...would love to read it.
by odo19
Inteesting thing I noticed about him...I love the guy and all but he's only really good when working with a French or Mexican director. If the director does not meet either of those requirements then the movie is going to be shit.
-
Re: Outlander.I thought the same thing. Would've been good to see a viking POV and them trying to work out where this guy is from, along with the audience.Good flick though...
-
Anyone seen Push? Any good?
-
Seem to be over-using the word "good". I'll try to stop that.
-
I like interesting (Push gets added to an ever growing to-watch list)Thank you, Constable.
-
Not many DVDs are coming out right now. Maybe just not anything worth mentioning.
-
The guy is an amazing douchebag.
-
Pretty simple.
-
So I probably haven't seen his instances of bad behavior. He's no BringingSexyBack, that's for sure, who may be my favorite Talkbacker for all the random comments he peppers into the middle of intense debates.
-
Here's the long and short of Lockesbrokenleg. LBL used to be a incredible fucking cum filled asshole named SkywalkerFamily and some other name having to do with batman I think. It finally got banned for being simultanesouly insane, stupid and argumentative. Unfortunantly it returned when AICN lifted the enrollment freeze a few months back.LBL is an attention seeking nutcase waaaaay off it's meds. The best thing to do is ignore the idiotic pus bag because among it's many faillings LBL has zero taste and is a low fuctioning paste and dirt eating mongoloid.
-
...to speak the TRUTH!!!
-
...and jesus christ is he a fucking asshole. And I don't say that lightly...I am probably the easiest going guy here and generally try to get along with everyone. But him, man is he just a fucking retard.
The man is a taint on AICN. And I don't mean taint as in "taint on history", I mean literally the spot between your nutsack and your asshole. Just a fucking taint. -
Had me pumped to see the Cutting Edge: The Magic of Film Editing again. Maybe I'll see it on youtube or ask a friend whom I know has it.
Anytime you have Walter Murch talking about editing I am enraptured. -
What movie, that will be released this summer, are you looking forward to most (especially since it seems most of the big blockbusters have already been released)? The only films I can think of that we have left are Public Enemies, Harry Potter, and District 9. Am I missing anything? If I had to pick between just those 3, I might go with Harry Potter. Why? Well, I don't like Mann's use of digital camera for Public Enemies, and I don't like the advertising campaign selling it as the Johnny Depp show (I want to see more of Bale and Crudup). District 9 seems like a great idea, and the short film was very entertaining, but there's not enough promotional material to get me excited. Harry Potter: the director pissed me off bigtime with the last one, and I've heard he's cut out/changed even more events for this film, enough to really make the bookreaders angry... but I'm so interested in the adaptation process (and very eager to hate the director based on the last film), that I really want to see how this movie pans out. It was made after/at the same time as the final book in the series was released, so it'll be interesting to see what the filmmakers decided was important enough to keep and "superficial" enough to cut out- that is, until, they read the final book and realized they'd made a huge mistake.
-
Not a single fucking thing holds the least bit of interest for me. That's tragic.
-
This summer definitely sucks. We're just about midway through it... or are we past it? Taking into account the entire month of May now? Very lame year. Everyone tried to cram their shit into one month (May), and I feel like the only film that was given any room was Bayformers2. And there is absolutely nothing coming out in August as far as I'm concerned. No really, I couldn't name one film that comes out in August. Can you? Without looking it up?
-
I don't know whether to be scared of MASSIVE FUCKING PIG or not. It is a pig of the lady persuasion, albeit a MASSIVE FUCKING one. I'm more worried about his did GINORMOUS MOTHERFUCKER OF A PIG. I hear he wreaks havoc wherever his hub cap sized trotters land.
-
Wait wait wait... are we talking about Harry here?
-
That's fucked up. I think Rec 2 may be out when we're in Spain. In which case I'm going to see that.
-
appears to be GIANT PIG's mother. May crap typing meant that I knobbed the joke about GIANT PIG's dad ("did"- d'oh)being GINORMOUS MOTHERFUCKING PIG. This can run and run.
-
Because they haven't released a Region 1 DVD as far as I know, the bastards!
-
I have seen 248 films so far this year. I need to make 300 by the end of July to make the 500 for the year as I'm away from any watching for August.
-
Until I see the original. And at this rate, I may never end up seeing the remake.
-
Films you've already seen before? You haven't watched 248 new movies, right?
-
Suprisingly good- the only hand-held thing where it's used to serve the narrative. The queen zombie/ posessed kid is an outstanding piece of design and it's the only horror film in fucking yonks that I actually jumped in. 8/10
-
Before your review got posted. I gotta say, the only part of your review that disappointed me was how you didn't mention that the self-cremated guy was the same greedy landowner that was in Poltergeist and how he was playing a later version of the character, a man who had been bankrupted by the disaster of Cuesta Verde and the aftermath that saw all the neighbors moving away, so that he had nowhere to turn to for income other than menial work in the next town over.
-
each year. For example Alien counts. I have however seen 131 movies for the first time this year. The problem is, to do 500, I've got to watch any old bollocks that is on TV- and a lot of the time I haven't seen them and they suck something fierce. Most of the Wank ones are ones I've never seen before. In honour of that- top 10 mint/ wank for 2009 so far:
-
I think I have to wait until October when Shutter Island and The Road come out. I don't think there is anything before that I am interested in seeing.
-
I know some pple here have said they thought it looked to "clean" and shiny, but I love the idea of Scorsese tackling another b-movie picture, a psychological thriller, so I'm very interested in that.
-
Alien- obviously Hard Rock Zombies. The Thing Die Hard Evil Dead 2 Blue Collar, In Bruges Red Cliff 2 Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind Taxi Driver
-
That's the tougher question.
-
Jul 01, 2009 3:28:40 AM CDT
Holy shit they just played a commercial 4 Blood:The Last Vampire
by d.vader
That surprises me a lot.
-
Have you seen Hardcore and Rolling Thunder yet?
I notice you put down Blue Collar and Taxi Driver, both written by Paul Schrader. Well so are the two I just mentioned (and Hardcore was also directed by Schrader and stars George C. Scott AND is about pornography!). -
Jul 01, 2009 3:31:30 AM CDT
D. Vader, I don't think anyone can put down 10 new movies
by continentalop
Especially if you limit yourself to American movies. Damn economy is preventing anything good from being made.
-
I have a feeling that Scorsese is going to go all Samuel Fuller/Shock Corridor on this one.
-
You are extremely knowledgeable about film, and you continue to surprise me everyday with your insights and references (I just saw your post on French crime films in the RoboGeisha TB). Did you go to school somewhere and major in film before ending up in production?
-
1)SATC- Worst film of all time. No arguments. It makes Gump (my previous title holder) look like something I want to watch again. I hated every second of this, and I thank the lord that Mrs. Jarv has a bladder the size of a peanut so I could keep fast forwarding it every so often. It still felt like eternity. 2)2 Days in Paris: fucking horrid ego driven attempt to recapture the magic of Before Sunset. Dismal. 3)Die You Zombie Bastards: I want everyone involved in this to die. For producing such a load of wank and wasting a great title. 4)Dr. Doolittle 3: The sequel so shit that even Eddie "cash in" Murphy turned it down. 5)Garfield: A Tale of 2 Kitties- awful tripe. 6)I Know Who Killed Me: Alternatively entitled- I don't have a fucking clue why I killed my own career. 7)Shrooms: My christ this was shit. Avoid like Michael Moore avoids honesty and objectivity 8)Basic Instinct 2- Risk Addiction: Fucking festering load of wank. 9)The Animal: Rob Schneider is a cunt 10)Watchmen.

Can you name ANY new films you've seen this year that you'd put in the mint category? That's more of what I meant.

1) Hard Rock Zombies, 2) Blue Collar, 3)Red Cliff 1 4) Red Cliff 2 5)In Bruges 6) OUTLANDER 7)Ip Man 8)Return of the Living Dead 9)Rec 10)Persepolis This is in no particular order.

Thanks for saying that D. Vader. I went to St. Cloud State in Minnesota for two years, transfered to University of Minnesota for a year then joined the Army. I really didn't study much film in school (both schools only offered a minor).
I'm basically self-taught. I used to be a video store clerk (before the Army and after, how sad is that?) and I also used to check out every movie at the school library I could. But my big film "education" was here in LA. I used to work in the vault at Corman's as an intern for a little bit, so I basically saw every Roger Corman film he owned on 3/4. Plus I went to every festival and revival I could.
I think the second year I was here they had the Warner Brothers 75th Anniversary festival at the Mann's Chinese Theatre. 10 Warner Bros. movies a day, each day representing a different decade. I skipped work and lived on popcorn, soda and milk duds for a week. -
I'd put Battle Royale, Memories of Murder, Kwaidan, and Thief of Baghdad in that mint list. Ichi the Killer, definitely not. The Proposition, I need another viewing of to finalize my opinion. I've practically forgotten all the summer "blockbusters" that have come out already. Wolverine, Trek, Bayformers2... never did see Terminator or Up.

GI JOE! Look into your heart. You know this to be true! "The french are very upset!" hehe

Right off the top of my head the only things I enjoyed were probably Drag me to Hell and Star Trek. There's probably some good stuff out there ( I have nothing but good things about Up) but I need to get out more.
-
I think it's going to be the first Soderbergh flick I see in a theatre. His movies usually look, and are, boring as shit.
-
I've also got 10 disappointments and 10 pleasant surprises to do. I'd say about 80% of the wank ones I've seen this year are new and about 30% of the Mint ones. It's about half and half of the "meh" ones.

Not been to the cinema much this year
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And haven't watched many flicks in the past few months. Got plenty of catching up to do.
-
That may be the first time I ever saw A Clockwork Orange. Now, I might be mistaken, but I think the WB 75th Anniversary Film Fest became a traveling film festival of sorts, and a small version of it came to a small, now defunct theater, in Charlotte while I was in high school. I'm pretty sure this was in 1999, after I'd gone to the NC School of the Arts for a summer session in filmmaking bc I distinctly remember it being in a post-Columbine environment where theaters here in NC wouldn't allow anyone under 18 to attend R-rated films. Which pissed off all of us 17 year olds that summer at film school, bc we'd always been brought up to believe a rated R film meant you had to be 17, NOT 18, to see it. So a lot of us missed out on seeing American Pie and Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut that summer. Anyhoo, a small version of WB's film fest came to Charlotte, and A Clockwork Orange was part of the lineup. I didn't know much about it, but practically made my mom take me to see it (since they wouldn't let 17 yr old me buy a ticket for myself). And boy was I embarrassed. I knew there'd be rape and violence and nudity, but man I don't think I've ever felt as awkward and self-conscious while watching a movie with my mother than I did sitting next to her as A Clockwork Orange played. Thankfully, she fell asleep in the midst of the movie. Good times.
-
and then Lovefilm sent it. The problem is if I'm just mooching around doing nothing in particular then I'll stick whatever film on and I've got a, I suppose, pull list of films I just chill to with a beer.

Oh how I wish he was at the level he was back in the 60s and 70s. And how I wish someone took up his mantle and continued his fantastic school of giving low-budget films to hungry, young filmmakers to allow them to learn and grow and discover new actors and stars.

6) Wild Boys of the Road
7) Alias Nick Beal
8) The American Connection

I basically missed out on the great Roger Corman experience. He was basically old and in semi-retirement by the time I started working there. And by then you didn't have the upward "mobility" that you heard about from guys who worked with him in the past at New World Pictures. At those places you had a shot of moving up and maybe directing a film. Corman supposedly told Ron Howard "You do a good enough job and you'll never have to work for me again."
Concord/New Horizons wasn't like that. They had the same b-movie directors on each film, over and over again. I can understand why economically (they new what to do), but it did rob the joy out of the experience.
Still I got to cut on a Moviola and learn Avid, and learned how to edit without having any real college experience. Plus I wrote skinflicks for guys that worked with Corman. So it was a pretty learning experience in that way. -
I've never heard that used as an adjective except in the Simpsons' episode spoofing the 60's Batman show and its insane sound effects where they showed an old episode of the Radioactive Man tv show, and while RM was fighting The Boy Scout Leader and his minions, the word "MINT!" flashed onscreen in place of the obvious "POW!". Also used, the word "NEWT!"
-
I've actually got quite a few more mint ones... 13. The Crow 14. Hulk 15. Stand By Me 16. Synecdoche New York 17. Bullets Over Broadway 18. Ratatouille 19. This is Spinal Tap 20. The Princess Bride

1)Let the right one in. This shouldn't have been a surprise, but having seen that tool knowles wax lyrical about it, I was expecting the worst. De-fucking-pressing, but still excellent. 2)Dead and Buried. Brilliant. 3)Midnight Meat Train. I was totally expecting it to be wank. Vinnie Jones for the win. 4)My Name Is Bruce- I thought this was underrated. The first half in particular is hilarious. Much better than I was expecting 5)Rec. Nothing about this was appealing to me. Fast Zombies= Fail. Spanish Zombies= Fail. Jouranlist in Zombie Movie= Fail. Hand Held Camera= Fail. I was so fucking wrong. See it. 6)Persepolis. Worthy Oscar bait about Iran with black and white annoying animation should have been shit. It isn't. It's one of the best animated films I've ever seen. 7)Basket Case 2. I'd not seen this, but had seen BC1 and it's fucking superb. Hilarious, gross and just magical. I'm waiting on Basket Case 1 before I write this one, and it's sequel up 8)Some Kind of Monster. I don't like Metallica, Documentaries about music usually bore me to tears. This one is immense. 9)The Mist. I was all prepared for this one to suck ass, due to the Knowles effect married to Stephen King. I was wrong 10)Crank. Statham+Stupidity+ whatshername that bugs the shit out of me should equal wank. It doesn't.

And my external WD hard drive is being a piece of shit and not letting me export any videos without having FCP crap out on me first, thereby forcing a computer reboot each time before I can proceed.

IN LONDONUsually seen hanging around the duck pond in Regent's Park wearing I heart London T-Shirts and fanny packs ignoring all signs and feeding the fucking flying vermin. Thereby annoying the shit out of me when I'm walking to the pub on Baker Street. Also spotted sitting at tables in pubs in Camden complaining about the lack of service.
-
I remember that as being a good movie for some reason. The part where that guy gets melted in the lava in the subway was awesome. Maybe I'm mixing it up with Dante's Peak.
-
Nothing looked appealing about it, just like you said. What about it fascinated you?
BC I can't see myself going to rent it without a better hook than "A day in the life of Metallica". -
Dream of Robogeishas.
-
Movie did nothing for me other than have me roll my eyes when Vinny started killing people in "cool" ways.
I guess I'm getting jaded in my old age. -
Maybe I should finally check it out.
-
I saw it when it first came out and thought it was okay. Caught it on film4 a month or two ago. It's not okay. It's fucking shit. Not just a little bit shit. REALLY fucking shit. I need to see Dante's Peak again because I remember enjoying that.
-
Not interested. It's got that smug bag of cocks Bradley Cooper in it. REC on the other hand I wwant to see.
-
1) Watchmen. 'Nuff said about this already 2)Sharks in Venice. Should have been awesome. Ruined by stupid sub-par indiana jones plot and fat baldwin 3)Die You Zombie Bastards- Complete sophmoric wank. I'd rather watch Hostel. That's how bad it is. 4)Creepazoids. I should love this, but it's just boring. Linnea Quigly is good in it, and to be honest, I'd definately bounce up and down on her for a while if she asked nicely 5)Eraserhead. Why the fuck do people like this? 6)Mask of the ninja. I was promised Casper Van Diem training as a ninja. Far too much Casper and nowhere near enough Ninja. 7)Rumble Fish. Seminal my ass. 8)All the boys love mandy lane. Great opening, rest of film is dreadful. Too predictable by half. 9)Linhe De Passe. After the incredible Central Station I was expecting something amazing. It was OK, but not worth bothering with really. Watch either City of God or Central Station instead. 10) Lust, CAution. This is officially the last Ang Lee film I will ever watch. I've come to the conclusion that 60% of the time he just bores me, 20% irritates me to the level of killing puppies and 10% makes something I want to see. That ain't good enough.
-
extremely watchable. Astoundingly. They don't come across as douchebags, rather talented guys with serious fucking problems. I am amazed at the level of access the film-makers got to the band. It should have been a PR fiasco, instead it's an interesting way to spend a few hours. It isn't really a day with the band, it takes place over a much longer period than that.
-
fucking awful "We're all the same colour now". I hate that shitty fucking film. Worse than Godzilla.
-
so I can watch both Dante's Peak and Volcano. Two movies I haven't seen in a very long time.
-
It may have just come onto my radar at the right time- but I rate it very highly for Vinny. Who I usually think is an astronomically lucky cro-magnon twat. Bradley Cooper is a bag of cocks, but does get hit in the head with a hammer. The kill scenes aren't groundbreaking, but they aren't torture porn so I give it credit. The character Vinnie plays is surprisingly intelligently drawn with a focus on professionalism (in a weird OCD way). Sure the last act is a bit skewed, but it was far better than reports suggested it would be.

I saw a double triple feature of MMT, The Spirit and Hellride
by continentalop
I will admit MMT was easily the best. Maybe the other two films were just bad company, tainted MMT.
The Spirit is God, God awful. I make a rule of never fast forwarding or skipping around a movie - I broke it for the Spirit.
Hellride was just bad. Boring and bad. -
again, it's a very pleasant surprise. I would discuss the climax, for being clever, but can't without ruining the film. I'm not sure where they can go with Rec 2, but I've got a sinking 28 Weeks Later feeling about it.

Or is it a later one than that? Because I've seen their doco about the Black Album and it's fucking good. And yes, they don't come across as douchebags. On the doco I saw they came across as good musicians that were making an album that they were very sure wouldn't work. And Hetfield and Ulrich had major problems with each other. Anyway, thats a good doco.

by lost jarv
Exactly what I did with SATC. All these reports of the Spirit really make me want to watch it.
-
I have an ability to turn my brain off when it comes to chick flicks and gay cinema. SATC qualifies as both.
Spirit was a fucking car wreck. I can't hate it to much though - it felt like it was made by a kid in a football helmet. How do you get upset at someone who is director challenged? -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Kind_of_Monster_(film) It's interesting.
-
Same with GODZILLA, TWISTER and the new TCM movies. God, how I hated those movies.
I would say I hate Trannyformers, but I have only seen about 50% of it so I can't make up an opinion yet if I hate it or just think it sucks. -
I thought that. You have no idea how bad it is. It isn't a chick flick, and it isn't a gay film. It's a horrible selfish cunt film populated with loathsome unlikable twats (the only one with any redeeming features shits herself, thereby becoming minging) behaving like complete fucking twats and being inexplicably rewarded for being complete fucking twats. It's a hideous denoument of 21st century society and if this is what single women aspire to, then expect to see homosexuality increase. It's horrid.
-
Jul 01, 2009 4:46:37 AM CDT
The Spirit is so fucking bad...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
it has to be seen to be believed. It's shit in every single way. Not one single redeeming factor. And yes, I will fucking hate that bag of cocks Frank Miller because although he may be direction challenged, he obviously thinks he's fucking awesome and talented. Bag of cocks = my new description of a massive cunt.
-
Fucking shit show. Will NEVER watch that flick. Every character is someone I would cross the street to avoid, for fear of being arrested because I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to cave their fucking head in. Any bitch that thinks they're people to aspire to are to be avoided at all costs.
-
and said that the only reason she sat through it all was because she didn't know what some of the twats she worked with were talking about, and wanted to.
-
I was talking to an actress the other night after a friends play, and we were talking about movies. She asked me if I could work with one actor or actress as a director who would it be. So I ask you guys that same question.
My answer was Lindsey Lohan. She asked why. I said if you can not only rejuvenate Lindey Lohan's career but also have her do an incredible performance I think you would prove yourself a great director. And the thing is, I think you could get something good out of her. She has at least enough screen presence and acting chops that maybe you could do something with her (unlike say the girls from the Hills or Paris "Fucking" Hilton or even Megan Fox who has yet to demonstrate anything so far). -
in 1998. In 2009 it's just fucking tragic. One of the worst things about it, is the token black PA (quite what she needs a PA for is a fucking mystery) who she bonds with over renting designer handbags on the cheap. Awful, patronising shit.

I'd like to see someone underused make a comeback as well. Not Lohan though.

See you later.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Ten I've seen this year I liked: 1: Blood and Sand-Tyrone Power bullfighting. 2: In Old Chicago-Tyrone Power and the Chicago Fire. W/ Don Ameche and Alice Faye. Neat. 3: The Sea Hawk-Errol Flynn. Avast! Ahrrr. 4: Objective Burma-Errol again. Obvious BS as far's leaving out 99% of England's role in there-but...decent flick. 5: Up. My name is Dug! That was fun. 6: Kojak season 2 on Hulu.com. Yeah it's pretty good. Fuck you too. 7: Transformers II. I had a blast. It's braindead. I enjoyed it anyways. Jarv has it right. I'm unapologetic. And D.Vader has it right-prob. forget 99% of it along w/ the rest of the summer's fare by Sept. 8: Dr. Zhivago. Never had seen it before save chopped to bits on TV. It's great. 9: Night and the City-Richard Widmark ruled. 10: Springfield Rifles--Gary Cooper. That's a good one, too. The more I think about it, the more I REALLY disliked Watchmen. It had some GREAT parts and possibilities, but YIKES. 'But--you-you--you liked the Giant Robot Obscenity that Bay spat out--'! Yes I did. Fuck you.

Glad to see us back in the top ten.So I started watching Street Fighter on the weekend to see about Chris Klein and everything you've heard is true.

I must clarify: I didn't necessarily mean that those summer blockbusters I listed were forgettable films; I merely meant that I couldn't remember any other summer blockbusters (other than those) that I had seen this year. I missed T4 and Up, but I couldn't think of anything else that's been released. Just goes to show how bad this summer has been so far.

Jul 01, 2009 9:01:50 AM CDT
I have to say... and it's a backhanded compliment...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
but T4 is the best "blockbuster" I've seen thus far this year. I didn't see Turd Trek and Up isn't out here yet. Turdmen and Trannyformers sucked. Wolvie was okay at best. What else has there been? Public Enemies is out here now, so I might go see that tonight. Seriously, fucking October can't come quick enough. WTWTA and The Road. Then December and Avatar.
-
yet fucking again....watched Point Break, which I think I have come to love more and more. Action scenes are topnotch and the Swaze and stiff man...just love their performances. I was also catching some of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. Bill Murray cracks me up. These hold a warm place in my heart as well.
-
Some kind of boring. Remember when they showed that clip of the new bassist finding out he got the job and he was running around his house with his bass, like jumping on his bed like a 12 year old.
-
Bigelow is great. Swayze is great. The 2x4 is great. But most of all, nutcase Busey is genius in it.
-
Didn't make me laugh at all. Only Bateman was mildly amusing with the "gun" in therapy.
-
If you were some dopey muscian that just hit the cash and gash lottery?Point Break is one of the best action flicks ever made and amazingly enough it wasn't all that stupid either. To bad they won't make unstupid movies anymore. Movies suck so bad they've gone the way of music, vomit out shit and hope the fucking dumb ass kids by in.
-
People, please, SATC is worse than both those other 2 films. At least those other 2 don't have apologists (aside from Node, who just blindly likes things produced by people he reckons are "talented" regardless of flaws)
-
Does nothing for me as well. Looks to me like it's trying to mimic a Coen Bros vibe. I don't think I can accept Damon in a comedy.

The foot chase in Point Break...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
where they are going through houses and jumping fences etc... is one of the best action/chase scenes put on film. Up there with the cab scene in DH3.

The Crappening was made by M. Night Sham who has sucked for ages. Blindness, on the other hand was made by Meirelles. M. Night dickhead hasn't done anything as good as City of God (and no, neither Unbreakable or The 6th Sense are anywhere near as good), therefore Blindness has to be more of a fail. Mind you, it's based on a fucking atrocious book.
-
Team America. Or that should be "Damon gets done by comedy"
-
I just love it when the Swaze locks the sliding door on 2x4 and he throws a pot or whatever it was at the door to bust through. Then he gets whacked my the homeowner. Then the Swaze throws a pit bull at him, which the 2x4 proceeds to punt. I love that part.

and while feeding the little pillowette this morning
by just pillow talk
AMC had 9 to 5 on. Since it was on, I watched it. I'm still surprised it's labeled a comedy.
-
Please tell me it's a movie that features the Colt Python .357 revolver prominantly?
-
I remember quite liking that.
-
I've never seen Blindness nor read the book. Also I've never seen City of God so I can't judge the quality of the directors work. However I hate the Crappening so much that I can't imagine something worse being produced by a writer/director that had 2 and 1/2 decent movies in the past.

The Crossing Guard. Nicholson and David Morse, two slighty overweight out of shape middleage guys running down a street in the middle of the night in a quite neighborhood.

I have one in the fridge waiting for me at home.Series brings up a good point about Sam Adams always seeming warm but that's probably because they make such heavy beers. To me heavy beers never taste ice cold. You need a Corona for that.I personally think The Informant looks good. Don't get the Matt Damon hate.The chase scene though Central Park in DH3 is so awesome because it's all practical. As Danny would say, "It just looks real and gritty as fuck."I read the script for The Happening, I don't need to ever see the movie.

I mean, Spielberg made a freaking dinosaur special-effects bonanza for about less than half of what Rush Hour cost. Chris Tucker was not worth $25 million at all. Oh wait, it was FORTY million?!? FORTY million dollars? No freaking way. You want to save money, Hollywood? Don't pay Titbags like him that kind of money. Sheesh.
-
Thats me. Looks like 1408 which is one of my five worst movies of all time list.
-
Didn't see Rush Hour 3, never will. Don't even know why I watched the second one.So who's in a position to have a beer right now?
-
Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance (i can never fucking spell that word right) as one of the top ten best action movies of all time. Its so awesome. Too bad John McT is in prison or probation or something, but he has been sucking lately.

I am in a broke position and have to eat at my desk at work. Fucking bored to tears.

I've thought about working with David Alan Grier. He always made me laugh as a kid on In Living Color, and he seems like a good guy to hang around. I'd like to give him a role that's completely contradictory to everything he's done before, something that gives him a second career of sorts. There are others I've thought of giving that Pulp Fiction/John Travolta treatment to, but I'm having trouble remembering anyone other than DAG at the moment.

What do you guys consider a dirty looking movie?
by hawaiian organ donor
Like, what's the dingiest, grungiest movie you've ever seen?
-
Is that if I was a B-list actor in Hollywood with only like 4 movies under my belt, I'd want Chris Tuckers agent working for me. Friday/Money Talks/Rush Hour 1-2/The Fifth Element/Jackie Brown/Dead Presidents is the Resume for the highest paid actor until Johnny Deep with Pirates 4 ($50 million), but at least the Pirate movies make ass tons of money. Oh and a role in MJ's last music video.
-
About to step out to lunch with my dad. But I had a bit to drink last night at the Last Karaoke night at a favorite bar of ours. I don't think I need another beer at the moment. Plus, I got 3 hours of sleep last night bc of my damned external hard drive mucking things up.
-
Pretty much anything Troma.
-
No, no good. Too full of himself, thinking that he is the funniest thing alive to ever do anything of merrit. I could see Dave Foley or POSSIBLY Wayne Brady being able to do something awesome. I'd give the Wayons brother from The Last Boy Scout a chance before I worked with David Alan Grier.
-
Also over the course of his tiny ass career you can watch him get fucking fat.
-
Ok maybe I'm wrong about 40 mil. This is what IMDB has: Rush Hour 3 (2007) $25,000,000 + 20% back end gross, but he got Rush Hour 2 (2001) $20,000,000. Shit he got fucking $2,000,000 for that crappy movie he made before he was even famous Money Talks. Di that movie even make that much money? TO THE MOJO!
-
That guy always makes me laugh and I never thought he was ever allowed to live up to his potential. He came close in Bottle Shock but didn't have enough screen time.
-
$40,922,619. Hmmm.
-
What gives you that idea? The guy's had failed sitcoms and programs. I don't think he gets much work. That's enough to make me think he's not egotistical.
-
Want to work with, but I keep coming up with actors who used to be huge but haven't done anything good in a while. Does that count?
-
Just watch his comedy, he thinks he's the funniest fucker on the planet. He just had some comedy special on TBS on Sunday. It was pretty sad the fact that they had like a white comedy hour and then a black comedy hour. DAG hosted the black one and Martin Short hosted the white one. While Martin Short is 100 percent more full of himself then DAG, he can be funny at times. While DAG just isn't funny.
-
You are wrong. That is the perfect time to have a beer again. Sure, the first one make go down like razors, but after that...smooth sailing.
-
That's kinda what I was going for: actors who used to be big, but aren't now, or actors who haven't been given a good chance to shine.
-
I've only been in my new job for 3 days and I already fucking hate it. The main program they have us using is slow as shit and everything takes like 5 minutes to load. And I just did a bunch of shit and then it froze on me, this is going to become a daily occurance.

Hawaiian would of course have already sampled the blackberry Sam.And I disagree that Sam tastes warm...besides, it ain't in my glass long enough to get any warmer to begin with.

After hearing the New Transformers 2 song all the time now, the other day I caught a little known diddy entittled, Shake Your Tailfeather. It was the key brick in the seminal piece known as Bad Boy 2: Die Harder. But what has happened to one Cornell Haynes, Jr. (thats his real name, thats better then the one I made up) in recent years? While appearing in such masterpieces as The Longest Yard and representing with hits like Errtime, Nelly has seem to have faded into the void. Nelly 2000-2008.

Sheesh, that's a tall order. Grab some stuff by the Stone Brewing Company if it's available up there. Their beers are heavy and not exactly what most people would drink out in the hot summer sun but Toadkiller has converted me.

Anyone else here average about 7-8 minutes a beer?I agree that Michael Rooker needs more work.Hopefully Nelly is dead and the media just never bothered to report it.

Another actor I'd like to work with MJW (Micheal Jai White or Spawn) has a movie coming out as his come back. Man this is hard. I was also thinking Danny Devito, but he's got Sunny Right now and is funny as shit.
-
But I can't think of shit. The best idea I had was a thing about an Armored car, but litterally later that week I found out about Armored, I was like FUCK.
-
Here's an actor who's been in crappy action films the past decade, and now he's about to (hopefully) hit the big time by showing what a funny and charismatic guy he can be in "Black Dynamite". I'd like to do that same thing with some other actors.
-
Would give the movie the saddest ending ever, I imagine.
-
Dirtiest, grungiest movie I just recently saw was "Gacy" with Mark Holton, Francis from Pee Wee's Adventure, as the infamous John Wayne. Holton was great in it and it was shot so dirtily that you could almost smell the corpses in his crawl space.

It is a French movie that came out in the 70s. Yes, it does feature a Colt Python .357, but probably not as much as you would like. There is one big hard core action scene at the end of the movie, but the rest of the film is more psychological thriller/film noir.
It does have a cool plot though: this tough, no-nonsense police detective meets and falls in love with this younger woman. However, she is also secretly having an affair with his friend, the politically ambitious chief of police. One night the chief looses his temper and kills her, and with help from his cunning, invalid wife they start framing the murderer to be her other lover. As luck would have it, the detective gets assigned to the case and has to find the murderer, and all the evidence keeps pointing to himself. -

I know who the Marquis de La Fayette is I just wanted to make a combo Pirate/True Blood joke.I would argue that General von Steuben did much more for the Continetal Army then Lafeyette.
-
He did an episode of House a season or two ago and my first thought when I saw him was, that guy is still alive? the next thought I had was dude needs more work.
-
You've probably ridden on a couple ships named Lafayette. Ever since you told me you were a pacifist I haven't believed a damn word you said. I just wanted to see what your reaction would be.
As for von Steuben, he probably was. I've always been a fan of Brigadier General Thaddeus Koschiusko myself (but mostly for what he did later in life). Best General of the Continental Arm from what I've read - Benedict Arnold before he went traitor.
-
Public Enemies isn't Donnie Wahlberg?? Consider my mind completely fucking blown.
-
I agree, Benidict Arnold was probably the best field commander the Continetal Army had. He was both a good strategist and tactician. Rare combination considering most that officers don't possess either skill in abundance.I also agree about Kosciusko, he was the shit. He taught Prussia and the Russians a thing or two that's for sure.
-
I'm pretty sure you have, but if you haven't looked them up. They were a group of American pilots who flew for the Polish in the Polish-Soviet War (1919-1921).
The reason I bring them up is because one of the pilots was Merian C. Cooper, producer and director of the original King Kong. The guy lived an amazing life: fought in WWI (were he became a POW and then escaped), the Polish-Soviet War, became a documentary film maker who travelled the world going to out-of-the-way-places, shot King Kong and some other movies in Hollywood; rejoined for WWII and served as a Colonel and then a Brigadier General in China with the Flying Tigers (and even led some missions despite his age); produced a bunch of John Ford movies; and finally helped invent Technicolor and Cinerama.

It's fucking horrid and there's a reason that professionals don't use 8 year olds for work.

Jeremy Renner - I'd cast him in something that would make him a fucking superstar Mark Strong - Ditto Kathleen Turner - Circa Body Heat. I'd just stand around watching her while knocking one out. Grace Kelly - Ditto. Rita Hayworth - Ditto. Marlon Brando - If, for nothing else, to advise him to eat less pies. John Candy - Absolute champ. Ditto on the pies. Brad Renfro - To have gotten the little fucker off drugs. So much potential. River Phoenix - Ditto. Mad Mel - Legend and it would be a pretty interesting experience due to his nuttiness. Crispin Glover - Ditto.
-
along with Ms 45. Which for some reason I've never seen.

Was great in The Assignment. Also as the nutcase in Stakeout. But that's a sneaky fav of mine so maybe I'm looking at it kindly. Can't really recall any other flicks he was good in.
-
in the comic thread this week. That's disappointing. I'm alone in the office and I wanted to goad those weird nerds that think it's real. PS, who the fuck spells magic with a k?
-
I have not seen the Aidan Quinn TV movie. I do seem to remember a pretty good TV movie about Benedict Arnold that starred Bob Hoskins I think. I might be wrong about that but that's how I remember it.
-
Droid doesn't think so though. But he's Australian and therefore can be discounted in matters of taste.
-
Depp was remarkable in that movie.
-
It's more the fact that you talked it up so much that it could never live up to the hype. "Hard Rock Zombies is fucking incredible" I rest my case.
-
fuck's sake. But that's mostly good because of Madeleine stowe. That Comic thread is really, really funny because it's so unintentionally ironic. They are all arguing about Something called "Golden Age" comics which I take to be early comics and someone called Master Baytor says that most people at the time (including Eisner) thought that they were for "10 year old cretins". This is brilliantly hilarious as every week they've been arguing about the sheer stupidity of having an 8 year old doing reviews and one of the key "pro" arguments is that "it reminds us of why we like comics". That's fucking priceless. They are so lacking in self awareness.
-
I mean, how else are you going to know the real stuff from the fake stuff.
I've got The Final Terror playing in the background. I haven't seen it in years but I never knew it had so many names in it. That movie might have the greatest all-star cast for a slasher film ever:Daryl Hannah, Racheal Ward, Adrien Zmed, the guy who played Neidermeyer in Animal House, and Joey Pants himself. -

They explain what a pimp stick does and man, it is a lot worse than what I imagined when I watched the film.
The princess running water line is fucking classic. So is the "blink and you die in the dark" line. -
And fuck you very much for reminding me of the turgid experience. I also used to walk to work, but that was years ago. Different house, different job now. But that was fucking good. When i changed jobs I was able to get the bus, which sucks but is immeasurably better than the fucking tube which I'm stuck with now due to the fact that our office relocated to this shithouse steel and glass monstrosity.

I don't even really read comics any more. It is sad when an art form you loved changes so much you lose interest in it.

Plus that bag of cocks Roddick beat Hewitt in the tennis which was disappointing because Hewitt was playing well for once. And the english are chugging the cock of that scottish cunt even though he fucking hates them. It's embarrassing how low this country will stoop to find someone to support.
-
And it isn't on the commentary.
Sherry Lansing was president of 20th Century Fox at the time, and hated the movie Vice Squad. She thought it was disgusting and degrading.
She was talking to Martin Scorsese about the Academy Awards, and Marty mentioned how the Academy didn't even have the balls to nominate the best movie of the year.
"Which one is that?" she asked, curious what one he would say.
"Vice Squad!" And he was serious.
God bless St. Martin of Scorsese. -

Tennis is "british" as opposed to one of the home nations. Like Athletics. Mind you, I don't give a toss about either of them. Apart from when Britain does better than Australia and you're sports minister has to wear an England Rugby shirt to an Aussie home game. That's funny.

And when something ok comes along it seems waaaay better then it actually is because you are starting at such a low point to begin with.

there's this bloke and he is running away from somthing. as he is running (and driving) he meets up with some hot chick. then there is an explosion. someone makes a joke. the bloke and the hot chick have sex. there is another explosion. the bad guy dies. the end. someone call that guy who knows michael bays personal trainer's dogs therapist, i think im on a winner here.
-
But yes, he has made some movies that have fallen short. Of course, I can't think of one director besides Max Hardcore who is batting 100%.

Add some offensive racial humor and some dumb homophobic jokes and I am sure Bay will go for it.

Certainly no one with as many flicks as Scorsese
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Spike Jonze is 2 for 2, and looking like WTWTA is a winner. Wes Anderson hasn't made a bad flick. Rushmore and Tenenbaums are genius. Zissou and Darjeeling were good, if maybe a little too eccentric. But every director will make a bad or mediocre flick if they work long enough.
-
of the sceenplay fee. And since this is a big movie, that might be around a million dollars.
I can live with half-a-million. -
hey, maybe that should be one. any director who works for long enough will eventually make a movie with a monkey.

Eastwood kind of dipped in the mid-late 90's
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Where he made okay thrillers, but nothing special. And that's without going back to any earlier efforts. There are loads of his earlier flicks I haven't seen. I should get myself a box set or something and work through them.

Not to sound stupid, but what exactly did QT do to Roger Avery? I know they broke up as partners, but I have always heard these rumors that QT also fucked him over. I always wondered what he did. -

Jul 02, 2009 5:10:27 AM CDT
Found this on a random website
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And then there's Roger Avary.
Back in 1985, When Tarantino worked at Video Archives in Manhattan Beach, his video store cohort, Roger Avary wrote a sprawling screenplay called "The Open Road."
"Road" centered around the character of Clarence Worley, comic book store geek, and his wife, Alabama Whitman. Clarence writes a screenplay about two serial killers named Mickey and Mallory and their cross-country killing spree. Clarence's life then begins intertwining with the fictitious screen story.
With Avary's approval, Tarantino then appropriated the script and rewrote it, eventually fashioning it into two separate stories: "Natural Born Killers" and "True Romance." A lot of the left over bits were salvaged for "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction."
Avary wrote Steven Wright's DJ bits in "Reservoir Dogs" and later came back to give a happy ending to "True Romance" for director Tony Scott. Tarantino and Avary eventually had a falling out over screen credits.
Avary received only a story credit for "Pulp Fiction," when in fact he wrote a third of the film. "Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino" read the last card of the credits at the beginning of "Pulp." They very publicly reconciled during the Academy Awards telecast the following year, when both ascended the stairs to receive Oscars.
Another important Avary monologue was stolen by Tarantino in "Sleep with Me." Tarantino has a brief but memorable cameo espousing on the homosexual overtones of "Top Gun" ("You can ride my tail anytime!!!"). The entire bit was written by Avary but uncredited by Tarantino. Another heinous theft. -
avary prob should have had a 'written by' credit but instead he only got 'story by' credit. he wrote the gold watch story and made the 'you shot marvin in the face' scene and others. don't know the rules on these things though.
-
also looks good.

You're asking for a bloodbath if you attempt a #2 pencil jihad on GIANT PIG!!! ALL HAIL GIANT PIG!!!

I suspect it's pillows. Tarantino is a dick. Scorcese does make sub-par films (The Departed, Kundun) but when he's smoking he's really smoking.

I think the poo already lives in America. I happened to see a bit of some shit called "Age of Love" with him in it, and I'm pretty certain it was in Florida. Why are Aussies so good at getting rid of their terminal dickheads? Seriously. We took Rolf, that cunt Humphries, Donovan, and countless others and America has taken loads. Mind you, we did manage to get you to take Paula Yates. Which is a start.

In the middle of watching Out for Justice, which I hadn't seen in ages, and what the fuck happens? DTV loses the signal for AMC. Fuck! With only a fucking half hour left. Fuck!After watching most of it again (fucking signal losing DTV!), this may be my favorite Seagal flick. I just love when he beats the shit out of everyone in the bar.
-
Figured out who'd I'd want to work with the most. I was watching Two Lovers last night, and my main man Casey Jones comes on the screen. He was/maybe is still in this state filming a movie. That's when I realized that Elias Koteas has never made it big and he is awesome. I would want to work with him, I'd make him wear a sweet Bruno style wig though. If not him then his partner in probably one of the greatest sex scenes of all, James Spader.

I think i would've liked it more if I had randomly come across it instead of watching it because of a glowing recommendation. My expectations were too high. Don't get me wrong, I can see why you guys love it and I enjoyed it. But it didn't take off into genius territory for me.
-
and by working, I of course mean shagging. It makes me a bit sad to think about fat bastard Seagal now and what he puts out. Very sad.

by hawaiian organ donor
I know by comparison it's not as brutal nowadays because of movies like 300, but 19 years ago I thought the carnage was unreal. The end fight with Screwface still makes me giddy.And I always thought Under Siege was an under appreciated gem. Busey and Tommy Lee Jones chewing up the scenery and that fine Erika Elainiak parading around half naked.Elias Koteas was mint in Thin Red Line. The look on his face when Nolte chewed him a new one was award worthy. He does need more work.

Taxi Driver, Hardcore, Vice Squad, Exerminator, Cruising, An lifetime achievement award will be given to Paul Schrader and 8mm will be shown to demonstrate how NOT to make a scummy street movie.
Any movies I am missing for the festival? -
Not the scummiest movie ever, but you need to see hard hat Peter Boyle get in murderous rage at hippies.
-
As dirty as NY looked in that movie, they had to have the art department CLEAN up the city while shooting it because of the garbage strike.
New York City was to dirty in real life even for Taxi Driver! -
does happen here. I heard about it before I saw it. But one day, like you, I saw it.Page I saw was from '98. TPM spoilers (mostly right), Godzilla, Something About Mary. That sort of shit.Odd experience though - its not like finding an old photo. You peek into the TBs and see posts from other lost wanderers. 'Is anybody here?', 'WTF happened to the site?'. Creepy. With all the internet debate about time travel in movies on the ST & T4 TBs it seems ironic that technology permits time travel on the internet about movies.If the pages are still live we could all go back there now - we'd just need a link to an old story.

Fargo is one of my all-time favorite movies. The guy was awesome in it.
"No offense Jerry, I don't want you mucking this up."
-
It like Hollywood is being rebooted
-
I would suggest maybe adding a movie from 1981 starring Paul Newman, Lou Grant and Pam Grier called Fort Apache the Bronx. I remember that movie being sime filled.
-
I remember right Danny Aiello is in it and he throws a Puerto Rican kid off the roof. There is also a junkie hooker who keeps razor blades in her mouth to slash Johns.
-
After all it seemed like GIANT PIG also went on vaction when Droid did. I call shenanigans on that.
-
Hate that fucking movie. Another good scummy movie, Dog Eat Dog, sort of I can think of something better. Ohhh Street Trash fucking dirty ass movie.
-
If we are thinking of the same film Series, any movie with a homeless gang bang and penis' get cutting off isn't dirty, it is fucking FILTHY as shit!
This is only Slimefest, Putridfest will be next month (with Lifetime achievement to John Waters). -
Out for Justice is Segals best flick but Above the Law comes in a real close second. Real close.
-
But it sounds sleazy. It is on the docket.
I'm debating if Man Bites Dog should be included. I don't know if that is slimey or just in bad taste (haven't seen it in years). -
I need to see this. I kept thinking you were talking about that Dustin Hoffman movie. The does it hurt one.
-
That is what I meant. It just sleazy.
-
I guess it is part of a genre called "melt movies." WTF is a melt movie? When people melt (like in Street Trash after drinking the bad booze)? I mean, there is enough movies where that happens that it is a genre?
-
But that is the right movie I was talking about.
-
Because that would be awesome. Street Trash is just like a Troma movie.
-
I saw that movie at the Drive In and when it came out and the first time the hooker went down on a dude and fished out the razor blade I nearly shit myself.
-
I actually felt sick watching it (which might have been the point of the movie).
But I did laugh my ass of that one scene were the mobster is going to kill the guy who insulted his GF:
"When I said she stank, I meant she stank from beauty!" -
And I guess I just watch filthy movies. Because all I can come with is like horror movies and old Peter Jackson films. What about Amores perros? Anyone seen Rudo y Cursi?
-
I remember the movie start out with her stumbling over to a cop car driven by two rookie cops and then she suddenly pulls out a pistol and blasts them. In a weird way she was like the female version of Ramrod - just a nightmare prostitute.
I think I swore off street walkers after that movie. -
Made me feel dirty afterward.
-
I might have to put it on my list of movies to see. Looks interesting.
I was thinking about Amores Perros, but I don't know. I think we might have to make a rule that excludes movies set in Mexico - they have a distinct slime advantage. If we do include movies set in Mexico, we need to add Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (just for the scene of him digging out the crabs in his crotch in the morning). -
Because I keep thinking of movies like Meet the Feebles, Pink Flamingos and Thundercrack!

Orcus had a friend who worked on the movie. Orcus believes his credit was "Sundry Junkyard Bum". Orcus thinks the preview was at the Zeigfeld in NYC. Two things that Orcus remembers vividly were:1) Tom Savini was in the audience and he was a SHORT muther fucker, and2) Saying something fucked up about the actress who got raped while she was standing behind Orcus. Hoo Boy, the look she gave Orcus! That and the cast and crew party was at the (s)Limelight.

Well one thing redeeming. The Simpsons' joke where they show a double feature on the Drive-In sign: I Spit On You Grave and I Thumb Through Your Magazines. -
I need to see that movie. There is also some movie from 2004 with the same name that looks messed up.

Baise-moi and that French movie Hardcore (directed by the Last House On the Left re-make, anyone see that? I want to) looks like a great first date double feature.

Slimiest Sci-Fi movie ever. Stomach Vagina equals dirty (especially if it looks like it has an STD).

Looks like its a pretty dirty movie. Seeing that it takes place in the dirtiest place on earth, Italy, it has to be. Man I want to see this movie so bad.

FUCK that movie is horrid. Those idiotic scenes of Nic Cage writhing in his chair and biting his fist...I hate that movie.
-
I finally watched Twilight.
It almost pains me to say, but...I think I sort of liked it(!) On the one hand, it's almost startling to see a recognizable form of intense female desire...made me realize how rare it is that you see that in a movie. And of course it's like a fairy tale, but came across like one of those Angela Carter revisionist fairy tales, where all the subtext is made explicit.
On the other hand, I can see where it is also showing the glorious beginnings of what will undoubtedly become an abusive relationship. So in that respect it's kind of sad. But I guess it's a reminder of how/why people wind up in those types of situations in the first place. I wonder if the kids can see it that way, or if it just romanticizes it for them....I'm WAAAAAY out of touch with "kids today." Hence the need to watch Twilight.
Of course, the movie is filled with all manner of ridiculous shit. But at least the kids seemed more like real kids than they usually do in those types of movies. And the father-daughter relationship was very realistic. -
Last House on Dead End Street. I haven't seen it but after reading the entry on Wikipedia I've got to:
"Last House on Dead End Street is a 1977 horror film about a disgruntled man, recently released from prison, who takes out his anguish by making snuff films.
Few knew who actually directed the film, until Roger Watkins, who died in March 2007, posted on Internet message boards three decades after it was made saying he was behind it.
Watkins has said he was high on amphetamines while making the film. He also said only about $800 was spent making the film, while the remaining $3,000 budgeted was used to buy drugs."
I can only imagine what this movie is like. -
Twilight is meant for young girls and women who are young girls at heart. Intellectually you might realize that it is a piece of shit, but emotionally you can't help it if you respond to it. That would be like laughing at a man for liking Crank or a Seagal movie.
Guys liking Twilight, now that is disturbing.
Plus Twilight: New Moon promises me a night of doing blow and booze. -
I saw something rather subversive in Twilight. And I was quite surprised by that.
From a cinematic point of view, though, it was shit. -
I actually believe we need more misandrist movies. Like an exploitation version of Monster.
I actually hated Monster. I thought it was an apologist movie for a repugnant killer (John Wayne Gacy was abused by his father; does that make his murder of young men somehow ok?), but watching it with a bunch of women I realized that it obviously tapped into something.
I started thinking "to bad there isn't an exploitation/vigilante movie for women, kind of like how there are all of these misogynist movies geared for men. I bet women have a lot of bent up hostility towards men and a movie that could touch upon that would make gangbuster amounts of money." -
who finds most "chick flicks" to be boring and offensive, and who cannot watch Sex and the City without feeling a rage-fueled panic attack coming on.
-
Most "guilty pleasures" touch upon something subversive, even by accident. That is why we react to them.
I just meant you don't have to apologize for it causing you to react to it, no matter what other people think of the film. Fuck, I reacted to Last American Virgin, and that is a piece of shit film if there ever was one so I can't toss stones at anyone. -
in the 12 rounds live chat over at AIBN asap.
-
I nearly shit myself when I saw what the link was for.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing more castration scenes in movies, but only because of all the rape scenes I've had to sit through, or heard dudes laughing at or critiquing in some smug, self-satisfied, delusional way. I also wouldn't mind seeing more penises in movies. They always seem sort of sad flopping around all flaccid and harmless and beside-the-point. The female body is no more inherently vulnerable than the male body. I'd just like to see that point made a little more strongly, I think.
I usually don't like the approach of making things "equal" by making them equally shitty for everyone. But in this case....
I don't know. It's hard to explain. Perhaps that's part of the reason I'm looking forward to Antichrist so much. "Monstrous feminine" indeed! -
I find that a lot of misogynist movies are pretty fucking misandrist at base, in that they portray men as rampaging woman-hating animals totally lacking in intellect, reason or any sense of empathy whatsoever. Ahhhh, all the hate goes hand in hand.
-
it's so nice being able to laugh at the harshness. Almost cathartic. Especially when you can't quite tell whether or not the movie's intended to be satirical.
-
I feel as though I'm rampaging through this talkback.
I need to find something to watch. Someone mentioned Nightmare Alley. I've got it, but haven't seen it yet. How is it? -
But I will warn you, it is one of the darkest, most cynical noirs ever made.
-
Carnival + 1940's Noir? It sounds like my dream movie.
You want to talk about dark and cynical...have you watched In a Lonely Place recently? I watched that the other night and holy shit, I'd forgotten just how relentlessly fucking bleak and miserable that movie becomes. So amazing. -
I'm a big Bogart fan, and a big Gloria Graham fan. And Nicholas Ray is actually really good with Noir, just look at On Dangerous Ground with Robert Ryan and Ida Lupino. Plus it is one of the best looks at a screenwriter in Hollywood (and up there with Sunset Blvd as a great indictment of Hollywood and the movie business).
It is also one of the most romantic and yet tragic Noirs ever. Bogart's self destruction is impossible to stop, and it just drives you nuts. It also has one of my favorite quotes of all time, one that seems corny to most people unless the context it was used in the movie: "I was born when she kissed me, I died when she left me, I lived a few weeks while she loved me." -

many aussies see us as 'british' which i hate. they say it is out of tradition. they say this is why we should not become a republic. the only tradition i see is one where my family had it's land stolen. the new land lords asked for rent, that could not be afforded. so they stole to feed their family, or worse still, claim they should be alowed to worship as they saw fit. to say england had no place in ireland was treason, and at best a transportable offense. most of my family came out during the famine. irish exports did not diminish during this time, it just what was left in the country changed. to me this is the tradition. my tradition is one of residence to this. hense the early lawlessness of oz. the old west has nothing on us. we made ourselves ungovernable unless to ourselves.a mate of mine once said the pom were taken aback by the idea 'no taxation without representation' because this did not exist in england at the time. the simple truth is i would not want to be an american, i prefer my type of democray. but your founding fathers were bizare in their foresight, and bizare in the collection of talent. your founding fathers inspired the world. the angloshere has deciding moments. magna cater. i am generally not a fan of americans. but the forth of july is significant around the world. it is a step in the line to where we are now.

I have come to the conclusion the white pimps in movies are better than black pimps. Sure you got Goldie from The Mack but he gets a lot of attention because he is the epitome of an actual street pimp, he isn't nearly as entertaining, terrifying and/or cinematic as Ramrod, Sport, Drexl Spivey or Johnny Prince. I mean, you know how strong the field of white pimps is when you realize that Gary Oldman is the third -THIRD - best white pimp in movie history.

it's only wikipedia but "The British used North America as a penal colony through a system of indentured servitude. Convicts would be transported by private sector merchants and auctioned off to plantation owners upon arrival in the colonies. It is generously estimated that some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America, representing perhaps one-quarter of all British emigrants during the eighteenth century.[1]
When that avenue closed in the 1780s after the American Revolution, Britain began using parts of modern day Australia as penal colonies. Some of these early colonies were Norfolk Island, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) and New South Wales. Advocates of Irish Home Rule or of Trade Unionism (the Tolpuddle Martyrs) often received sentences of deportation to these Australian colonies"

english democray: that is a matter of opinion. when talking about 'the oldest democracy' enfranchisement is relevant. Firstly to be pedantic iceland is the worlds oldest parliamentary democracy (930AD) http://tinyurl.com/n4owetat the time of the american revolution "In Britain representation was highly limited; only 3% of the men could vote and they were controlled by local gentry."(http://tinyurl.com/lpd3xw) thus it is pretty fair to say that the english themselves had taxation with out representation. the english parliament called this 'virtual representation' the idea that if you paid tax you should get a say in government, while based on older english laws, was novel. as soon as america came into being it was more representative than england, who obviously later followed suit. it is pretty fair to say that the idea of democracy has changed constantly since it's nominal start date in the angloshepre (lets call the start date 1066 - the norse people started parliements) and that the american revolution inspired the growth of democracy around the world, including in england. keep in mind at this time (and until relativly recently) catholics wernt allowed to sit in parliment. the traffic was not one way - the english emancipated their slaves early on in the piece putting pressure on the americans to do so. also women did not have the vote in the us until 1920 and england in 1928. the first colony or nation where women could vote was new zealand in 1891 followed by south australia in 1893. Women could vote in australia from day one of our country (1901) and since nz didn't become a country until 1907, that pretty much makes oz the first country. the way i see it is that all of these countries are feeding off one another, inspiring each other. what the americans did was a quantum leap, and there is no escaping that at that time at least, they certainly taught the english a thing or two about democracy. (keep in mind your upper house was held by hereditary peers until like, three fucking years ago. that is a fucking disgrace) that said i personally think that the westminister system, with american style proportional representation in the upper house is the most efficient system currently in existence (am biased though, it's what we have here)

He had some ideas about hereditary titles you might find common ground with:
"There is something exceedingly ridiculous in the composition of monarchy; it first excludes a man from the means of information, yet empowers him to act in cases where the highest judgment is required."
“For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have the right to set up his own family in perpetual preference to all others for ever, and tho' himself might deserve some decent degree of honours of his cotemporaries, yet his descendants might be far too unworthy to inherit them.”

I was wondering if you were refering to indentured servants. It's one of those situation that while technically accurate, there were criminals involved, the percentages were rather small overall.Most of the "criminals" tended to be either Irish or Scots-Irish boarder reivers. England shipped off the trouble makers, no surprise there right? Said trouble makers then promply took off to upper New York state or to what eventually became Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky and Georgia. Those places looked a whole hell of a lot like home for them.
-
Isn't forced, unpaid work indentured servitude i.e. slavery?
-
Isn't that right Señor Gigante Cerdo?
-
a very large portion of the 'criminals' sent to oz were in the same boat. if a country like england was then existed today the international community would condemn it. my favourite poem has a line 'our fathers toiled for bitter bread, while loafers thrived beside them, but food to eat or cloths to wear, their native land denied them, and so they left their native land, in spite of their devotion, and so they came - or - if they stole, were sent across the ocean.' the poet who wrote that was declared an outlaw and tried in absentee while he went on the run in the bush. furthermore a huge portion of those transported were irish dissidents. today any international court would consider the english occupation of ireland illegal, and it would be the english government who would be considered criminals. only a minority of those transported to oz would be consider criminals in a modern sense.

So I guess I can talk about whatever I want. I got a couple of Star Wars questions that maybe one of you fanboys can answer for me:
If the Star Wars universe was once a Republic, why the hell do they still have Royalty like Queen Padme and Princess Liea?
If Storm Troopers are clones of Jenku Fett, the greatest Bounty Hunter of his time, why the hell do they suck in battle? I mean, during the Prequels the Shock Troopers could kill and assassinate Jedis, but in episodes IV-VI they can't hit the broad side of a barn. Are they like the clones from the Simpsons episode with the curse hammock? You know, each generation of clone gets more diluted from the last - is that the reason?
Why the hell do they let Luke Skywalker keep his name? His Uncle's name is Owen Lars, not Skywalker. I mean, you want to hide the boy from his real father, wouldn't you also change his LAST FUCKING name so he couldn't be found so easily, just in case the guy came back to his old home town? Or do they think so little of Vader's intelligence they never think he'll be able to put "My name is Anakin SKYWALKER, and my stepbrather Owen Lars is raising a kid named Luke SKYWALKER - maybe there is a connection." -
Couruscant is the seat of government not Naboo or Alderaan who has their own internal forms of Government.The first series of clones went through the who 10 years of growth and training and were developed with the greatest of care. When Order 66 came out, the next series came out faster for the sake of bulking up the numbers and thus the quality control suffered. There is a book called "Order 66" which is part of the Republic Commando Series that explains this. And for your third question, Orcus knows not a definitive answer.
-
who HAVE their own. Fucking mornings
-
Wouldn't that make them a Confederacy or a League or a Federation, or even Principalities, but not a Republic?
And wouldn't the Empire have like 18 years to properly train, feed and grow the new batch of clones who become Storm Troopers before Luke meets them?
And do you call yourself Orcus because you are a Roman mythology nut or because you loved the picture of him in the original Monster Manual? -
According to the book "Order 66", prior to giving the Order, clone production was shifted from Kamino and their high quality clones, to a production facility on one of Coruscants moons using a different technology from a different vendor after one of Kamino's top scientists defected. So basically Kamino no longer has their top folks working on clones an Coruscant went with the cheaper guys who basically lacked Kamino's quality of training. So the paradigm shifted from quality to quantity to keep everything in line. In fact they had non clone officers (the clones called them mongrels) to fill in the ranks. Aside from that the current crop of books don't really address your training question good enough from Orcus to give you a better answer. As far as the Republic is concerned, since Orcus is not too savvy on politics and government. All Orcus can say is All worlds of the Republic had Senatorial representation and thus a say on how government works. In theory.

that answer is George Lucas. I always thought he wasn't thrilled by the writting part of the film making process so he just threw junk on the paper with little regard to well anything.I think that Lucas doesn't really care about anything but technology in films. Acting, directing, writing, practical stunts to him only exist to shoe horn in computer generated effects.

I'll probably be here for awhile so I'll probably post a lot today (in-between renders and recapturing).
-
In just two words.
Actually, the answers I am getting from Orcus and ironic_name makes me realize the guy didn't care about continuity. Someone else might have explained these discrepancies later, but that was just an attempt to fix his lazy mistakes. I want things to make sense in the movie while I am watching it, I don't want to be forced to go buy a book later to patch up the plot holes.
I mean, the Batman movies don't require you to buy the comic books to fill in the holes. I imagine if they ever did another Batman movie they aren't just going to have Ra's Al Ghul reappear with his daughter Talia suddenly at his side without explaining it within the plot. You won't have to be go asking your comic book buddies to explain what happened. -
Saw it today. Good movie, but kind of cold. Mann presents the characters as - this is who they are, this is what they do. I didn't connect with any of them. Maybe I wasn't supposed to. I felt that way about Heat - loved the movie without getting close to the characters.Matt Craven Mystery: He arrived with Stephen Lang's G-Men (in slow motion). Don't recall ever seeing him again in the film! Did he get cut or what?Tommy guns - very cool.

I’m stuck here making outputs and rendering stuff, so I got a lot of free time. I decided to put a list together of movies I think sum up America the best for the 4th. I’m not saying these are the best movies ever, but these are just a list of movies that show something essential about America and its character, even if we don’t always live up to those traits or if those traits are really just wishful thinking on our part. Plus I am bored.
Birth of a Nation: D. W. Griffith’s cinematic masterpiece. I know you are asking, “But Continentalop, isn’t this movie racist?”. Oh fuck yes it is. It is repugnantly racist. But it is still a masterpiece that shows the mindset of what America was like and how much we have changed since then when the racial divide was as vast as the Grand Canyon. You can reflect on our racist past by either showing a movie about racism or by showing a racist movie and thanking God we have progressed so much since then.
The Public Enemy & Scarface: I can’t decide which one to pick so I will go with both. They are the classic All-American tales of a poor immigrant or son of immigrants trying to achieve the American Dream. Of course the hero sets about getting his dream by using a Tommy Gun and piling up a bunch of bodies.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: A movie that is both an attack on American politics and a tribute to the faith we have in our system of government and American democracy. Anyone who says voting doesn’t matter and it is all a big scam can eat shit – it is apathy not our system of democracy that is to blame. Jimmy Stewart ain’t doing that filibuster for nothing jerks!
Sgt. York: A piece of propaganda to prepare America for WWII – the tale of a pacifist who comes to accept fighting and killing the enemy and becomes America’s greatest war hero during WWI. You don’t have to agree with that statement or the message (which was used to have people discard pacifism as an option against the Germans for WWI), but you can’t deny he makes a strong case. “I realized that by killing them I was saving other people’s lives.” “So you didn’t kill because you hated the enemy, you killed to help protect your fellow man and save lives?” America might not always enter war with that idea in mind, but we wish it would.
Citizen Kane: Its original title was John Citizen USA. Besides being arguably the greatest movie every made, it also is one of the best depiction of the life of a mover and a shaker in America. We like to think of this as a country built by the little people, but truthfully do much of it is at the mercy of the rich and powerful. Charles Foster Kane can say he is doing it for the people, but really America is just another toy for guys like him to play with.
Casablanca: The movie takes place in North Africa in a city controlled by the Vichy French and the Nazi Germans, and there are really only two American characters in this film (Rick and Sam) and only one is the star. Even his love interest is foreign. So why is it so damn American? Two reasons: America is viewed as a beacon of hope by all the desperate fugitives trying to get out (the old couple practicing their English are not desperate to get to England but the good ol USA); and the fact Rick realizes that some things are more important in this world than just two people, and decides to rejoin the fight. Sacrifice and the willing to get involved even when it goes against your best interest, things America hopefully tries to live by.
Best Years of Our Lives: I’m not a big fan of this movie – I think it is to soap operatic and tries to hard give everyone a happy ending. But I understand why you couldn’t show that after WWII– are you going to tell hundred of thousands of returning vets that you are shit out of luck and things are only going to get worse? The reason I got it on the list is most war movie show the glory and honor of fighting for your country, this one shows the idea of what they truly sacrificed: be it lost years, strain on their families, psychological damage or lost limbs. They don’t want special treatment; they just want to know that their service and sacrifice isn’t taken for granted (which to often it is).
High Noon: It is easy being brave when you’re the Duke or Clint, but Sheriff Kane is really the ultimate representative of the Western Code: he isn’t looking for a fight, but he will if he has to. Bravery is standing up for what’s right even when you just married Grace Kelly and you haven’t even deflowered her yet.
Cool Hand Luke: You want to see the epitome of the American rebel? Just watch this movie. Rebelling against authority has been a time honored American tradition since we were born, and no movie shows how it is ingrained in some of us like this film did.
Godfather I & II: It is everything that sums up the America Dream – an immigrant looking for a better life, building a family, creating a business and becoming your own boss, and the goal that your children will have a better life than you and your sons will carry on your name – but shown through the warped window of the Mafia. “I believe in America.” Yes you do FFC, and so do we.
Rocky: Yes it is sap, but the best sports sap ever. Rocky Balboa: Underdog, loser, bum – American. He’s many things but never a quitter, because Americans are never supposed to quit.
The Natural: Another sports sap, but if you want to know why baseball is called America’s pastime just watch this movie. Corny yes, but no is America sometimes.
Lone Star: Chris Cooper and Elizabeth Peña are high school sweethearts and lovers, they also find out they are half-brother and sister. The best metaphor to show Texas and the US’s incestuous historical relationship with Mexico ever.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: To quote esteemed critic petergrifin “moist American movie ever!” Unfortunately, yes it is. Yes it is.
-
I was hoping to see Transformers: ROTF (which I fucking ALWAYS read as Transformers: Rolling on the Floor) and was going to suggest you add it. But then I got to then end and there it was!
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. God, I loooove the scene where Stewart is running around D.C. punching out all the reporters. Too bad he can't punch out my poor, beleaguered Washington Post and knock some sense into 'em. They are hellbent on destroying themselves. And it's sad. -
I was about to wade into the Palin talkback against my better judgment.
What happened to the days of regular people being all disillusioned, saying "Fuck both parties!" and making some attempt at thinking for themselves?
I find it hard to believe that most reasonable people would end up, via an attempt at independent thought, at the EXACT same positions as a bunch of partisan hacks. Maybe it's my enduring faith in humanity that's unreasonable. Fuck, now I've depressed myself again. -
One does not need to do homework before seeing a movie, but as it turns out the books are waaaayyy better than what is on the screen
-
The Grapes of Wrath to the list. That speech at the end gets me every time. And the cinematography is amazing.
-
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
-
great list. I like your explanation of citizen kane. I always felt sorry him. It's not his fault he was born rich. why can't he try to help out the underdog with out be perceived as manipulative and evil? because at the end of the day he saw himself as different to others. he was a whig. besides, don't blame me i voted for kudos.
-
Damn. How did I forget those? They literally define America.
I was also thinking that To Die For and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore should be included. To Die For because I think it is such a keen observation of America's obsession to be famous and "be someone"; and Alice because it does such a great portrait of an American woman. -
if you've got high noon you need rio bravo. what about 'the crucible.' 'dr stranglove' 'wall street' 'there will be blood' 'all the presidents men' 'easy rider' i suppose there would be a lot
-
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. I would like to watch that right now. Have fond memories of watching it with my mom, and it's been awhile.
Was gonna watch Paper Moon, but there's only a cropped copy around. Why are people permitted to butcher movies like that?? Would a person hack up a painting because it didn't fit in the frame they picked out?
Cropping drives me up the wall.
-
The only real answer is basically what Xiphos said: Lucas is a hack at writing.
He was kinda making it up as he went along, so Vader became Luke's father, and you're right, why did Luke keep his daddy's name if they were trying to HIDE him from Vader?
Then Lucas made it worse by making Luke and Leia twins, thus retconning major creepiness into the first two movies where they were making out a lot.
About the clones getting less skilled with times, my thinking was simply that military kickasseness isnt genetic no matter who they're cloned from, so the training probably got worse over the years. -
Team America: World Police
Fuck YEAH! -
By the time of the Original Trilogy, any yahoo could sign up with the Empire.
-
Because of Mann's chaotic directing style. And it looks like if Public Enemies fails, Mann might not get another $100 million + film again, because while his films are good, they are, as therewolf said, "cold" and not so entertaining for general audiences.
-
Still haven't tried any Arrogant Bastard Ale.
-
That's the other problem. He's a jerk onset, but unlike Michael Bay, his movies don't make money. Got all this from some article I read yesterday.
-
I've just read about what happened to Steve McNair. It sounds like he got Phil Hartmanned by his new old old lady. or semi old lady or what ever she was.
-
boborci = american scriptwriter, nick cave = aussie scriptwriter.
-
I just fucking hit "Post talkback" without even thinking.
Bob Orci. Fuck. -
http://is.gd/1n480
-
I actually would have preferred more of that. I think in Empire they should have kissed some more (and maybe even more passionately) and maybe in Return they could have hinted they sealed the deal BEFORE he finds out that is his sister.
I figure if ESB is going to have a melodramatic reveal that Vader is Luke's father, Return might as well go all out Biblical and Greek Tragedy. It would be the Sci-Fi version of Oedipus, Siegmund and Sieglinde, Abraham and Sarah, and Chinatown.
And yes, I also want this because I am a sick fuck. -
or
this. -
yep.
-
So is that why she is resigning?
-
but those are the same earrings.
-
I'm bummed by this bigtime. MacNair was such a great QB. And he carried that damned team of his on his back ala Elway did for so long. This blows.
-
-I liked Public Enemies, having just seen it yesterday--but I can agree w/ a few of the complaints. You don't REALLY get dragged along by the screenplay, I didn't find Dillinger to be all that interesting a character as played by Johnny Brasco here, and I would have appreciated seeing Stephen Lang earlier on. Lang is the kinda actor and presence--if you have him in your film, you don't sorta hide him in the shadows in a big hat for 40 mins. You put him over on the end of the well-lit side of the table and you have him grin or react to whatever Bale is saying in full view of the shot. You also let him have more than, you know, 2 lines. It does help. I liked the movie but sure it had an oddly distant, detached air about it. Say whatever you want about Mikey Bay-but at least his stuff Moves. Big Robots Hitting Each Other Once Again doesn't have Half the functioning brain-stem ability of Public Enemies, but it's a hellovalotta more fun. Favorite Mann flick for me? the Insider. Yes.
-
Another one you could add--You Can't Take it With You--another Capri-corn flick. Easily one of my favorites.
-
Yeah that was too bad about McNair, he always seemed liked a regular guy and not like most prima donna QBs and your right he did carry both teams he was played for on his back.The part that's real sad, for me at least, is that since McNair was more or less retired, he could have spent his days hunting and fishing which was what he liked to do.
-
Haven't seen that in years. A very whacked movie, one that I will admit didn't always work for me, but the scene with the old man at the end where he finally realizes the joys of life by just playing a harmonica really works well. Just him and Barrymore playing in the room, and then everyone, including his son Jimmy Stewart (fuck was he young in that) joining in. That was a powerful ending.
-
Last of the Mohicans wins in a route for me. I think it's his most accessible and for lack of a better word "warm" movie. Top flight action, great acting, a plausible and gentle love story and probably one of the top five greatest lines ever written for a movie:"Gen. Webb: Kindly inform Major Heyward that he has little to fear from this General Marquis de Montcalm in the first place; and scant need of a colonial militia in the second because the French haven't the nature for war. Their Gallic laziness combines with their Latinate voluptuousness with the result that they would rather eat and make love with their faces than fight."
-
I am still trying to figure out what happened. It is almost like the scene from the book and movie The Natural where the women tries to shoot and kill Roy Hobbs and then commits suicide (based on what happened to Eddie Waitkus). It also sounds a lot like what you said Xiphos, a Phil Hartman scenario.
-
That's a name I didn't expect to EVER read here. Yeah that's prob. true there ContiPops. A fave scene in 'You Can't Take it With You' is that quiet scene between Lionel Barrymore and Jean Arthur up in 'Granma's Room'--no NOt THAT kinda SCENE MORONS--where he talks about how that room was still inhabited by the spirit of his late wife, and why he'd not sold the house because of it. Pretty effective. MacNair just carried some OK teams on his back into the playoffs for years. And it sounded like he was one of those guys who actually DID give back to the local community. You hear lip service about such things being paid by athletes and celebs all the time, but he meant it. Whether he was a saint or not-screw that--he was a really bigtime player when it counted. Just saw the Natural last nite, funny you'd mention it ContiPops.
-
I've been watching Mad Max thinking it was the sequel not the original. I thought the original was called The Road Warrior.
-
Dogville and Fuck Team Five if those count, that's the real American Dream.
-
Anyone seen the documentary Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!? I want to put it before my eyeballs right now. Watching Mad Max and The Cars That Ate Paris not to long ago Oz films have this weird style of dialog, like its not important for you to hear everything. They are both very cerebral films, giving them a more real feel even though they are fucking bizarre.
-
Just to do something Patriotic since all the fireworks got rained out till today. I watched up to the greatest scene in movie history and I realized that ID4 for at least kids my age was like our Jaws. Yeah I saw Jurassic Park in theaters, but I was just a little to young to understand what Summer Blockbuster meant, but when ID4 came out it made sense. ID4 is such an awesome movie, it amazes me how bad Roland's other efforts have been (save for Godzilla) hopefully 2012 will be a return to form. Its a huge ensemble cast which I think is why 10,000 BC and the Day After Tomorrow sucked. He does not have the goods to flesh out a full character, so when you have 20 characters to work with you do not really have to deal with one the whole time. Can't wait.
-
Beat out Transformers 2. Good. Too bad its already made enough money for a third.

I can't believe I never thought of this one yesterday:
Animal House.
"I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part."
That, my friends, is fucking American! -
has the best end credits ever. FSA photos paired with Bowie? The perfect ending for that movie.
You Can't Take it With You. Jimmy Stewart basically talking about wanting to develop solar power (when he talks about wanting to harness the little engines inside of plants). I have such a ridiculous crush on him from that era.
-
tits everywhere

Yeah I went away from the computer, came back and hit refresh and it reposted the last thing I typed.
-
Bust not available! Awesome, been waiting for them for like ever.
-
Are hungover today. Or busy?
-
And besides the guy getting the handjob a couple rows a head of me, it was ok. Glad I saw it in the $1 theater, though maybe in a good sound theater the jump scares would have worked better. Fun silly, and original movie worth a rental. Glad I didn't shell out the big money for it.

Trannyformers 2 has made $600m worldwide so far
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Fucking ridiculous. Second on the list is.... Angels and Demons!? Nearly $500m? Who went to see it? I know one person that did.

I saw A&D but I didn't pay for it so I don't know if that counts.
-
Jul 06, 2009 4:46:35 AM CDT
Watched Duplicity on the weekend
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Not sure why. I can't stand Julia Roberts. It was annoyingly overly complicated, often confusing, and despite it being 'caper' type flick (which I usually love) I found it tedious and uninteresting. The best bit by far was the slow-mo fight between Giamatti and Wilkinson in the opening credits.
-
a well polished turd
-
Predator which is obviously mint. Land of The Dead which is completely meh. Sleepaway Camp 2 which is quite good. The Mutant Chronicles which is meh Long Kiss Goodnight which is quite good
-
And Lee possibly injured. Fuck.
-
Big Robots Hitting Each Other II was better. Yes.
-
Megan Fox for a remake of Sleepaway Camp II. f anyone can pull off a post-operative tranny, we know it would be here.
Serious note, I always thought Pamela Springstreen (I think that is here name) who played Angela in Sleepaway Camp 2 was actually quite charismatic. Wonder what became of her. -
I saw Public Enemas, uh enemies, this weekend. It was much ado about nothing. Somewhat stylish, but really very empty. No character work at all. Nothing new, Bale boring - had nothing to work with. Depp tried, but had nothing to work with
-
Shit. But better than AI. AI is one of the worst films ever made.
-
Whut up dude?
-
Got a cold. Working next two days. Might go see Terminator 4 (only just hit Wales.) Failing that, I will down diet cokes while watching Torchwood. You?
-
I'm a bit wiped out from food, family, food, movies, food and more food!

What I learned: The Vatican classified the Capybara as a fish
by toadkillerdog
The Capybara - as opposed to the ledgendary chupacabra, is a rodent. But because it swims a lot, and 17th century Europeans were stupid and did not know how to classify it - and because they was starving, they wrote the pope and asked him to classify it. So by calling it a fish - even though it looks like a big ass rat, they could eat it during lent! Just love watching discovery channel when I am home!
-
Wish I had the discovery channel. Looks like I'll have to watch Torchwood later. Aargh
-
Thats what it was about.
It's a rat -
You PAID to see Angles and Demons? You really are a gluton for punishment. I literally gauge one of my eyeballs out after watching the first one. I actually sided with the Catholic church once the credits rolled on that baloney, because I knew that there was a deal forged in hell between Mr. Oklahoma himself (Ron Howard) and Satan to make that pile of dead babies come true.
-
Sweet get to see it this week, that movie screamed rental the second I saw Rage Cage hairdo in it.
-
Anyone seen this yet? I've had it for like a week now and have yet to place it before my eyeballs.
-
Top 3 (previously unseen) movies I've seen this year. In a year of complete and utter dogshit, it might not seem like much of a compliment, but it's very good.
-
It was better than first movie, but that is not saying much. Still Hank's hair was not an issue this time.
-
Terrible.
-
Yeah I'm hoping its just a fun film, nothing too serious. Looks like Cages best B-film in a while.
-
Next, Ghost Rider, World Trade Center and Bangcok Dangerous. And I guess The Wicker Man which I still need to see. Next and Bangcok just looked like crap. I actually downloaded Next, but never bothered to watch it. Its too bad because I actually like some of Lee Tamahori's stuff, actually just The Edge, his period of cross dressing and I did like Die Another Day for what it was. I wish Brosan had had some sort of contract to only make Bond films with Campbell then all of them would have been as good as the best bond, Goldeneye.
-
Hmmmm for some reason I thought these were the same guys. Well I thought that Brian Helgeland wrote Die Hard 3, it was Jon who did. He also did the Tom Jane Punisher. I probably thought this because their last names are similar and they got plain first names.
-
Hensleigh has a lot of shit on his CV, but he wrote DH3 so I look kindly on him. Helgeland managed to somehow condense LA Confidential into film form without losing much in the translation. A fucking amazing adaptation. He has a free pass for life.
-
We need a topic. So lets roll wit dis. In no particular order
1) Sarah Jessica Parker 2)Ellen Barkin 3)Bette Davis -
4) Angelina Jolie looks like a guppy, but... well, she once had a nice body.
-
I thinks that's her name. She was in minority report.
Kyra Sedgwick -
Below you will find a copy of my post from from 04:28:24 AM. Please note the word between I and pay.I saw A&D but I didn't pay for it so I don't know if that counts.
-
Didn't. Thats not so bad then.
-
I'm miles behind now.
-
This is good. PS- ASia Argento for the body thing.
-
have fun, chaps and chapesses.
-
and 976-EVIL.
-
Two yo's in one TB!
-
I still want to see Public Enemies, but I really do have a feeling I am going to be disappointed. I'm a huge fan of AIP's Dillinger with Warren Oates, and I just can't see Depp and the crew matching that. I'll try to clear my mind before seeing it though.
-
God is that place a fucking ugly room of bickering dicks, from both the left-wing and the right-wing.
-
And to be fair, it is not supposed to be. However, as much as I truly admire M.Mann's work - I fuckin Love Crime Story and Manhunter and Miami Vice among others, this movie is all flash and no real bang. Contrary to the apologists, any movie should really have some characters work done, and this one truly lacks any. Still, it is not a bad movue
-
And no one is around, and the TB's suck.
-
is coming out or being made right now. Hell, nothing even bad but interesting is coming out.
-
Boards. Nothing even decent to rage about. Hell Herc tried to invent some political controversy - and I love me some bloodletting in political TB's, but not even the diehards came out for it - just the whackos
-
And we can talk about Jennifer's Body, a TJ Hooker movie, Boborci & Kurtzman's Viewmaster movie, The director's cut to Turdmen, or Sarah Pain's resignation (and I am not going back in there).
I might have to go troll the MMA websites and post how much I would love to get teabagged by their favorite UFC fighter. -
I am reading some Ian Banks and Cj Cherryh
-
Especially fantasy. Hence the reason I could recognize your name. I've read some of CJ Cherryh's Morgaine stories, I haven't read any Ian Banks but I hear that the Wasp Factory is really good.
As my name suggests I'm more into crime & detective fiction nowadays. I wouldn't say I grew out of Fantasy or Sci Fi, because there are some really good, sophisticated stories in those genres, I just think crime and hard boiled novels talk to me in a more direct way. But I still love pulling out my REH, Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, Moorcock and HG Wells. -

I love old Noir movies, but never read any of the source materia
by toadkillerdog
Well, I shopuld not say never, I did read Dashiel Hammet and Raymond Chandler while in High School. But I never got into them as mu h as the sci-fi/fantasy. I dod love the Robert Ludlum books from the early to late seventies though. Not crime dramas, but damn good international suspense. The Parsifal Mosaic and Road to Gandolfo(a comedy BTW)being two of my favorites.
-
I wake up this morining all ready to talk shit and nobodies home. Oh well I guess I'll go work out.
-
Or was that Friday?
-
Some folks like me took extra long weekend. I am home and bored and do not feel like doing anything but smurfing the net and talking shit. But no one was home!
-
As a group they tend to be tapout shirt wearing closet case posers. Its amazing how many "cage fighters" were personally trained by old man Gracie. I call shenanigans on that one.
-
MMA is Just an excuse for some 'dudes' to roll around on the floor with some other dude in public.
-
I'm surprised nobody ever took a crack at Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. Those could potentionally be good movies.
-
Fan, is the movie anything like their music?
-
Did you have a good weekend?
-
Get their names from.
-
I'm glad no one has tried to make a movie about them. I imagine Hollywood would treat it like REH and make it less like Conan the Barbarian and make it a lot like Conan the Destroyer and Kull.
-
get all hot over Megan "man parts" Fox.It's surprising how many of them are self hating even though they get at least half hard over things like Men's Health mag and the MMA magazine.
-
Food, family, fun, food, more food. Some flicks. I feel like a total bum now though. It will be hard going back to work.
-
Dudes! Orcus just dipped his pointy eared head out of the archives to say hi!
-
Wasn't much like Conan of REH. Still a fun movie though.My point was more that I would have thought that somebody during the sword and sandles boom would have tried to make it.
-
By Glen Cook. He is a great Sci-fi/ Fantasy writer. He wrote a series of fantasy military adventures centering around a mercenary 'free company' called the Black Company. Toadkillerdog was a minor almost throwaway character - a really cool dog with near human understanding about some things and a mean streak. The name always stuck with me.
-
The movie Series 7: The Contenders.
-
Holy sheep shit! Dude, it has been quite a while. Are you still surfing the time waves? How is the orcling?
-
hows the trip through the archives going?
-
Actually, I always did have a problem with Conan the Barbarian. Arnold was just to "dumb" for me - he wasn't nearly as savage or as cunning as Conan was in the books. Arnold was obviously a good guy - Conan to me operates by a law of ethics that many people would actually disagree with.
But the problem is how do you describe a faithful sword & sorcery adaptation? At least Conan the Barbarian resembles REH's books, Destroyer, Red Sonja and Kull look more like George Reeves' Hercules films. -
just got her blue belt in TaiKwan Do. Orcus was gone for a bit and found that the archives got shat upon. It is now Orcus' crusade to rid the joint of the false prophets. If you'll excuse Orcus, Orcus must educate a few of the brothers :)
-
I figured you were named after that movie, but I never did see it. How is it?
-
Arnolds Conan, was created to make Arnold a star. And very, very few star vehicles can depict an anti-hero who borders on villainous. My all time favorite type of character who is a pure villain and also the star, is Francis Urqhuart in the British TV Mini called the Final Cut and To Play the King. He was tremendous.
-
I would not mind doing some time traveling - just to take a look.
-
Michael Caine as Jack Carter in Get Carter. Guy is a despicable mob hitman BUT still a charismatic protagonist.
I don't why but the Brits can make good movies about despicable assholes (Alfie and Naked for example). -
I could care less about any of the movies in the top 10. There isn't enough money(well actually there is) in the world to get me into a political TB, too many knuckleheads on both sides of the aisle to contend with. You know what's funny about the political idjits? All the extreme chuckle heads from both parties are basically the same. Making Megan Fox is a dude jokes only goes so far so I'm done there. Jesus the entertainment well is so very dry right now.What's up with the Diablo Cody hate? Is it becasue she sports her reproductive organs on the inside? I have not seen Juno, no real desire, but I don't understand the vitriol directed at her. If her writing sucks say so and move on. It's somewhat skeevy reading the words of profoundly disturb chowder heads with women issues. The terminal virgins around here need to save up thier funny book money and get a hooker maybe then they will unclench.
-
Should be required viewing, if you like reality TV shows. I personally love the film, its not like one of my top ten favs, but its great. Its crazy and kind of gory. Well worth the time. I wish the director would do more then Greys Anatomy episodes. Also the soundtrack is done by Girls Versus Boys if you know them. The plot is that there is a reality show and a group of people are randomly selected to compete and they are given guns and the last one living wins. It pokes fun at reality shows left and right and is funny and just great and I wonder why the fuck don't I own it? I want to put it before my eyeballs NOW!
-
I am a huge MMA and boxing fan, and make no apologies for liking them. However, I do admit there are a lot of douchebag MMA fans. Almost as bad as the Raiders and Eagles fans (zing).
But one thing that gets me is the racism amongst MMA and Boxing fans: MMA fans love it when a white guy beats a black fighter (or get fucking angry as shit when Chuck Lidell got knocked out by Rashad Evans) and boxing fans cannot imagine or admit that an MMA fighter could ever beat a boxer, like the idea of a white guy ever being tougher than a black guy is just impossible. And the way they talk shit about each other is just so childish. -

Xi, those dudes are a bunch of repressed, lemming assholes
by toadkillerdog
They just follow the leader. If someone says ' I hate Diablo Cody' they just pile on. It is more jealousy that hatred though. Probably have a lot failed or wannabe writers/hollywood types who can't get their script for: Giant Mutant Robotic Zombie Tampons from Outer Space, made so they trash anyone who has made it by sheer hard work, talent and luck.
-
Whats wrong with comics? I get laid often enough.
-
I've always heard it was shit and believed it without question but I heard the same about Miami Vice and I just saw it and liked it. Now my whole world is turned upside down. Oh and I saw PE and liked it quite a bit. Thought Bale was better than Depp and the whole movie was just really solid to me.
-
One of the biggest gripes I have with Conan the Barbarian movies was that they made him a slave and he didn't grow up in Cimmeria. On the other hand Milnus did sort of capture some of the sprite of the books and the look of the movie was Fantastic.they did a sort of good job ripping off the REH story the Tower of The Elephant and The Thing in the Crypt. Although I don't think Howard wrote that one. I think that was De Camp and Carter.Over all Arnold the barbarian is a mixed bag for me but an entertaining mixed bag.
-
They'll just feel dirty and idiotic once it's over and they won't be able to think of anything but the money they just wasted. Better off just being themselves.
-
I can't see any legitimate reason to hate her. You might not like Juno (I think it is incredibly overrated, and as another TBer said is the Independent movie as commercial studio product) but I don't hate her.
I think jealousy does play a big part. My thing is good for her. I might not like your movie and your new one doesn't do anything for me, but doesn't mean I can't admire your success. It is a hard business here in Hollywood -who am i to get upset at someone for making it?
Well, except for fucking Eli Roth. Guy is a douchebag. -
The journey of 50000 articles starts with the first post

I liked Ali. I liked it quite a bit. Fresh Prince did a great job. The only knock on the movie was where it ended. It just felt incomplete. Conti the racist element is very strong in MMA. I'll bet it boiled over whne that black dude with the beard got whupped. It is somewhat understandable, for decades it has been the black fighter who has dominated. So, now that younger generation whites can latch onto fighters who are also white - which has always been the great white hope, the racism boils over.
Hell I remember the Gerry Cooney shit from early eighties. -
The lack of Cimmerianess (if that is a word) was also a big gripe for me. I also didn't like his lack of meanness - he was a big country oaf, not the most awesome bad ass ever. I mean, the line "quickness that would put a leopard to shame" never crossed my mind when watching Arnold.
I other thing I didn't like is that added a typical Hollywood plot - Conan getting revenge for the death of his parents - like he is a Hyborian Batman. Conan doesn't need any motivation - he is fucking Conan. His motivation is wenches, gold, and the joy of steel entering flesh.
The riffs on the Queen of the Black Coast were good though, using Valeria as a substitute for Belit. -
Was a decent movie not ground breaking or anything but it was pretty good. Jaime Fox is great as Bundini Brown and Ron Silver was pretty good as Angelo Dundee. On the other hand Jon Voight as Howard Cosell was wierd.I think how you react to the movie depends on how much you know about Boxing and all the personalities involved. I like Boxing and I'm familiar with most of the people involved so that helped.

Hrm...thanks guys....netflixing now..along with manhunter which
by odo19
-
One of my all time favorite movies!
-
He was tremendous.Opened my eyes about his talent.
-
I'm always afraid to watch movies like that because I'm afraid it won't hold up. But in my memory it is an almost perfect memory.
I remember Brian Cox's Lecter being not a elementally evil creature like Hopkin's, but an almost banally evil person. Like being evil was as natural as chewing gum or taking a piss. Which to me was even more chilling. -
Yeah you're right about that I forgot they "homaged" that and did a decent job with it. I wonder if there was a lot of studio interference? The movie seemed a bit disjointed like it was rewritten one too many times or something.
-
I truly love Silence of the Lambs, but Manhunter is just as good if not better. It holds up very very well. You can see the Miami Vice influence, but it is not distracting or too dated. The story is awesome.
-
I like Cox's version better then Hopkins but I admit that It might be because he was first.
-
Damn shame
-
My main issue with her, probably ascends from the whole Fox Searchlight search for an Oscar. The void left by Harvey Weinstein leaving Miramax and pretty much striking out on his own, needed to be filled by some other Oscar hungry ART studio. Seeing that FOX really only cares about money, why not make some bank off of is independent house (Oscar wins/noms = more money usually). So now they do this slow release shit to see if anything they've got gets eaten up by the critics. Once they've got a clear front runner (Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, Slumdog) they fucking shove it down our throats and we are suppose to like it. While I did like Slumdog and felt like it deserved everything (save for song) I did tire of the constant jamming down our throats, but at least I wasn't seeing the actors every where talking (probably because most of them can't speak english). And if I got to see Danny Boyle then that was awesome because he is the man. With Juno (and Sunshine) it was different. They were both these essemble cast films and all the actors were littered over every late night talk show/magazine/entertainment show/radio everywhere. Going ON and ON about how this movie was made with such an INDEPENDENT spirit blah blah blah, like everyone involved with this movie was their first movie EVER. Never once did I hear anyone bring up, HEY how'd it feel to be working with the son of The Ghostbusters director? No NEVER! And that's fucking huge. So Fox put Cody in the spot light, because she was offbeat and already semi famous in the world of the interwebs. So they crammed her down our throats and she got undeserved respect (as did the director), this was in NO way an independent feature (it cost 11 million to make). It was just bullshit on top of bullshit and Ms. REAL Diablo acting like she fucking deserved it. She fucking should have gave the same speech James Spader gave at the emmeys (even though fucking Spader earned it) and apologised to the Sopranos even though thats a whole fucking different medium. Then after the whole back lash she said suck my dick. She will get to do pretty much anything she wants now, good for her.

-
was how that was supposed to finish. And yeah I've heard great things about it but never seem to be able to get around seeing it. It's going to be weird watching someone else as Hannibal. Silence of the Lambs is one of my all time favorite movies. How does Noonan stand up against Buffalo Bill?? Any penis tucking??
-
Evil has a name
-
Born to play that role
-
I liked that as well. It's the first film I've ever seen where the digital photography seems to totally work for it. Every other time I've seen it, it seems like they are trying to imitate the look of film with varying degrees of success. Collateral and Miami Vice want to look digital and it completely works for it giving them both a unique look. Though I think it looks cooler in Collateral.
-
It's a hard comparison to make because the Buffalo Bill Character is so damn iconic and I thought both Manhunter and Red Dragon missed out on capturing the character well.Anyways I'm going to get breakfast and muddle off into my day. See ya'll later.
-
Didn't know who the hell that was, thought it was McNab at first.
-
I liked how Noonan played Dollarhyde though. And they tried to make him more accessible with Joan Allen .
-
man was he a bust, The Great white hype indeed.
-
I know Ralph Fiennes was much more faithful to the character in the book with the hair lip and his build (the blind girl in the book thinks to herself how his build reminds her of this pro-linebacker she once dated) but Noonan just gave off this otherworldy vibe, much like Ted Levine did in Silence of the Lambs. Both guys really seemed like they just didn't know how and couldn't interact with other people. His Tooth fairy really was a creepy kind of killer. Disturbing. Same with Levine.
In fact while everybody goes nuts for Hopkins in Silence (and he was damn good, I am not denying that) it really is Ted Levine who creeps me out more. Lecter is super-villain in that movie, Buffalo Bill feels strange yet so very real. -
-he was white haired etc. Looked okay though. Hey did you hear that Alexis Arguello was found dead last week? In Nicarauga? looks like he killed himself. DAMN.
-
That whole story just SUCKS. I think he was a great QB who would literally put that team on his shoulders and Force them into the playoffs, I think it was 2002, he was so banged up he never could do practice during the week, but he'd suit up and be there for the game. They went 11-5 w/ him. Tough tough TOUGH player. And to think somewheres--Ryan Leaf is in a cell but surviving. Something ain't right about that.
-
Donno about that either. Didn't see movie. Found Diablo Cody to be somewhat irritating but so-? not Half as bad as Cokey or Eli Roth or whomever. Don't see what the talkback rage about her is about. *shrugs*. Collaterol w/ Cruise and Foxx aka two Gay guys go Cruisin'...oh sorry. You know those old Hollywood rumours. Good movie. Don't remember much about it. Bryan Cox in the Rookie is great.
-
And Steve McNair is dead. Proof once more that there is no such thing as karma.
-
I'm pretty saddened by what happened to Macnair to be honest--he was a really good player and apparently was a good egg off-field, for the most part. I'm sure they'll be digging up gobs of shit about him though just because the press is like that.
-
But did he commit personal failings or all out asshole behavior? He probably cheated on his wife or was an unfaithful boyfriend at times, or some other personal shortcoming. But did he do it consistently and treat people like shit like Don Smpson? Did he kill and abuse animals and try to act like a gang-banger like Vick? Did he murder his ex-wife like OJ? Did he fuck over a bunch of people like Ken Lay and Madoff? I don't think so.
Hell everyone has committed a sin, but it is the difference between committing a misdemeanor versus committing a felony. -
Macnair the great player is what I know and will always remember.
-
Any word on Blood the last Vampire? Is it any good?
-
The only karma that exists in the world is the karma that you deal out. Somebody screws you over you hit back twice as hard.
-
I read something on ESPN I think saying that Gerry Cooney is slap happy now from all the repeated blows to the head. Boxing is a tough racket.
-
Red Dragon was a more faithful adaptation of the story but Continentalop is right Tom Noonan is just fucking whacked out in that movie.
-
But Randall "Tex" Cobb, a man who got pummeled by Larry Holmes for 15-rounds in a fight so brutal it caused Howard Cosell to swear off announcing boxing, graduated magna cum laude from Temple University last year.
Strange world we live in. -
Really? Fucking Sailor from Missing In Action no way!
-
The only real difference I found between the two movies that really changed anything was how they handled how Tyler Durden/CSI captured Brian Cox/Hannibal Lecter (sorry Brian Antony owns that name). While Red Dragon pretty much does what the box says, while Manhunter has CSI describe what happened to his son in a Food Lion. When I first saw Manhunter after having read the book I was a little disappointing about this because it was one of the cooler scenes of the book, also having read the book seen the movie WAY after the fact of seeing Silence you want to know how the great Hannibal Lecter went down. But seeing it done in Red Dragon was a bit of a let down and I found the Manhunter seen to be more effective. Yes the final scenes are a vastly different but for the most part they are pretty equal. One thing I wanted to see more of was how in the book they described how the killer needed to kill people who had big back yards and paraded around naked in the backyard afterward and that was his kick, would have added a penis tuck dance level of creepiness to either film. Elevating Nonnan/Finnes character to more memorable. I would like to go back and watch them back to back. I think Manhunter wins overall because its just more unsettling, Red Dragon feels to much like a sequel or a made for TV film at times. Also the scene where they go into Lectures cell in Manhunter and run all those test was a lot better. Anyone see that newest one Hannibel rising?
-
Yeah I agree with you there as well Continentalop. The grungeness of Bill makes more sense and his withdrawn personality fits more of what a serial killer is. Isn't Lecture based on someone? Ed Gein or Ted Bundy? Pretty much any tv show/movie about any sort of weird killer is a rip off of something Ted Bundy did. Lecture is more of a Ted Bundy character mainly because Bundy was the only real dignified serial killer, by that I mean he was the only one with like a real job. He was a lawyer and a good one. Most other serial killers are blue collar weirdos. So its harder to imagine someone that smart going crazy, also Lecture is just so perfect its hard to believe and perceive as real. While all of us have met someone in life where we've gone that guy could be the next Buffalo Bill.
-
Hahahah actual the website I googled to figure out what his name is says: He was a famous serial killer and proved to be an inspiration for Thomas Harris for creating the famous character of Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs". So there you have it folks. Goodnight stay tuned for Lost Jarv!
-
was also teh template for Leather face and Anthony Perkins Charactr in Psycho. Old eddie was a weirdo but as far as killers go he only took out like one or maybe two people. He like to dig up fresh buried corpses and get to know them in the biblical sense. in other words he was a coo coo bird.
-
Coming to theaters in December. Damnit. I want to put that movie before my eyeballs now! I'm gonna watch Spawn this weekend fuck it.

"Ed, he never to a woman to bed
We wanted a dither,
He would split her down the middle,
And throw the other half in the shed"
Xiphos is right as usual about the Plainfield Ghoul. I grew up in Minnesota, the state right next to Ed's stomping grounds of Plainfield Wisconsin, so he was a folk legend/boogy-man to all of us kids growing up (I guess Dahlmer took his place now). The guy supposedly was a transvestite, but instead of wearing women's clothes he would wear their skins. He also supposedly practiced necrophilia and cannibalism (I say supposedly because really no one was around to witness this). He was most certainly a grave robber (he has lampshades made of human flesh, soup bowls made from skull tops and furniture made from human remains).
Here is an article about him from my old hometown paper when he first got busted (notice his smile in the photo):
ttp://tinyurl.com/kw36co

"Sure, let me dig someone up." -

So many killers in movies are based on real killers, or actually many killers:
Buffalo Bill: is a combo of Ed Gein (wore female skins so he could "transform" into a woman) and The Green River Killer (dumps their bodies in the river). He also used a tactic used by Ted Bundy, pretend he has a broken arm to get a woman to help him (which the killer in The Vanishing also uses).
Scorpio Killer: He is obviously based on the Zodiac Killer, but his kidnapping and murder of the little girl is based on a British killer named Donald Neilson, aka the Black Panther (who also killed some British post masters during some post office robberies).
Leatherface and the TCM family are inspired by Ed Gein (cannibalism, grave robbing, wearing a mask made from a woman's face, furniture made from bones), but much more depraved.
The family from the Hills Have Eyes are based on the Seany Bean Family from Scottland in the 15th, 16th or 17th century (I forget).
Norman Bates: Ed Gein again.
Peter Lorre from M: Peter Kurten, the vampire of Dusseldorf (sick fuck).
Hannibal Lecter: Based on Ed Gein, Albert Fish and Peter Kurten in part (cannibalism) and I think H. H. Holmes (America's Jack the Ripper) because of his sophisticated nature. But I think he has more in common with pulp villains like Dr. Mabuse than he does real killer.
He did do certain things like real killers: He helps the FBI like Ted Bundy gave them advice when they were hunting the Green River Killer, and he escapes from custody like Bundy (but in much more dramatic fashion). He also operates like the Monster of Florence in the third book/movie, Hannibal. -
i love the dirtyness of newcastle in it. filthy bloody place. I'm sure that land lady was drinking ink.
-
i totally pay it. maybe not an oscar, but very good. the main character was a little too self referential - but some people are like that. this new one dosn't look like fantastic writing though.
-
good movie: i like the bit about how she asks her sister and mother to look after her unborn child if she dies and they are like 'everything is always about YOU isn't it?!"
-
plenty of them are of above average intelligence. as said in red dragon: their disadvantage is that they are crazy.
-
I do get the hate for Diablo Cody, but it really isn't worth it. It's a crap film with atrocious mock quirky dialogue, but it's nowhere near worthy of the hatred it gets.
-
Where is droid?
-
it had to be said.
-
wasn't a serial killer per se. And I don't think that Scorpio is based on him. He was a career criminal, but an armed robber more than anything else. He left whatshername to die because they didn't pay the ransom on time- he didn't actively murder her. If that makes sense.
-
There are also plenty of dumb serial killers as well. Otis Otoole was as dumb as a rocK (he was partners with Henry Lucas and served as the basis for Henry Portrait of Serial Killer).
But usually serial killers seem to score on the above average range. The thing is they are not at the Genius level that Hollywood likes to show them. I mean, if they were genius I don't think they would do so many dumb things that get them caught (like save women's cut out vaginas - that doesn't look suspicious).
Serial killers are losers in the world of crime. That is why the pick on women, prostitutes, grannies, gays or children - they are usually big fucking pussies. -
I didn't mean to imply he was a serial killer, just that the Scorpio Killer's kidnapping murder was based on him. And I just realized that isn't true either, because he didn't kidnap that girl until 1975 - 2 years after Dirty Harry. I think I read some people think he got the idea for the kidnapping from that movie.
But many people do suspect him of murdering her. She was found hanging in the well if I remember right. -
Knowing - "not worth any effort." Collateral - "meh." Juno - "very good." Fucking Juno? Mate, lay off the goon.
-
but those people make easy targets - look at the wests. no one even registers most of their victims as missing. also - it goes back to the disadvantage of being crazy. if they were smart they could reduce their chance of getting caught to zero by not killing anyone at all - but that defeats the point. they have reasons for keeping heads in their room that go beyound trying to not get caught. hell, some of them in some way want to get caught or want to keep the game going with the police despite obvious pitfalls with it. look at btk - saying to the cops 'ill send you a message if you don't try to trace it?' also they are not the geniuses in the movies. the thing i find interesting is the 'mcdonald tirade - pyromania, bet wetting and cruelty to animals' a huge number of them do these things as children.
-
Besides Jack the Ripper, you got Burke and Hare, the Moor Killers, the Yorkshire Ripper, Fred and Rose West, Dennis Nilson and the Jack the Stripper.
-
I'll let you guys guess which one.
-
Blood, guts and glory. Fucking great QB who carried a mediocre Titans team ball-achingly close to a superbowl win. Even though my team is the cowboys, I have a McNair Titans jersey. I have no idea what happened with this 20 year old chick (I thought he was still married), but he was a gutsy fucking player.
-
it just wasn't that great. collaterally was ok, also not that great. i was thinking about it and the thing i liked the most was the dude landing on the car, but shit, how many movies has that been in. wow! tom crusie with grey hair!!! give me a break. it was ok but not massive. same with juno. juno had some great moments, it was solidly written drama - i did like it and i rarely like that type of movie so i pay it. as i said she was a bit too self referential. she seemed like she was constantly aware of someone watching her - which we were - but most people arnt like this when alone (though i do know some twats who are)
-
The Zebra killers that were operating around the same time. Mostly though he was mostly the Zodiac. The chief inspector of the Zodiac case, a fellow named Tedchi I think, was the basis for Dirty Harry. Very incestuous.
-
they usually have two. ted bundy decapitated his cats head as a child, put it on a pole and carried up to his room where he prayed to it.
-
He was Dirty Harry AND Bullit...how big must your ego be after that?
Xi, did you know Audie Murphy was originally going to be cast as the Scorpio Killer? -
That's my guess.
-
see you later. Ashes tomorrow Chipps.
-
He is the one who told the feds all this stuff. I would not doubt for a minute he lied - the guy had to manipulate people until the day they fried him.
Chipp, you ever read former FBI profilers John E. Douglas' and Robert Ressler's books? -
Nothing like getting a CMH winner to play a nut case. I don't think they could have got a better guy to play Zodiac. That dude was a creepy fucking nightmare.
-
Superb thriller let down by a disappointing 'cabbie outsmarts trained killer' ending.
-
That John Douglas book fucking sucked. He should have just wrote his name on every page he's that in love with himself. Fucking profiling what a joke it's about as useful as a motherfucking psychic.
-
He played him like an evil hippy, and Charlie Manson was still fresh in everyone's mind.
Murphy died in 1971, right before shooting I think (or maybe even before pre-production even started). I'm just trying to figure out what the angle on him would be as the killer. Were they thinking of doing what Leone did with Once Upon a Time in the West and cast the All-American hero as the villain for shock value? Would he have been a bigger personal threat to Clint because, lets be honest, everyone knows boyish Audie Murphy would kill him in a showdown.
I can't imagine him being better than Robinson, but I am curious to see what the film would have been like. To bad there isn't a Slider machine for seeing alternate timeline movies with "What if so-and-so was cast". I mean, imagine if Laurence Olivier had played Don Corleone, or James Woods had played Mr. Orange. -
Come on man I expected higher standards from you...and your GIANT PIG!!!
-
When I first went into college I was majoring in Psychology and Criminal Justice because I wanted to join the Behavior Unit of the FBI. I used to think that stuff was the shit. But after reading all these true crime books, including a bunch of profiling books I began to realize that it might be a helpful guide to narrow down the search, it doesn't actually capture the killers. That is still the work of cops, detectives and criminalist.
Biggest breakthroughs in finding serial killers is computers and DNA testing.
I had an idea for a script where you show how a psychic is just as useful (or useless) as a profiler. I mean, remember how great the profile was for the Beltway Sniper? -
A terrific slow build punctuated by two terrific, horrifying set pieces and an ending that's a complete kick in the guts. Admittedly I can see how people didn't like it. Both my sister and my mate just completely rejected the ending. They liked it up until then but couldn't make the leap. To me, the ending is probably the strongest part.

Growing up in Australia there wasn't a huge amount of american sports on tv. So I chose the team in the early 90's when I saw them win a superbowl and didn't know any better. And I've stuck with that decision, although I do like the patriots. I chose my NBA team, San Antonio, because I randomly got a David Robinson rookie poster when I was about 10 or 11. I chose my MLB team Cleveland because of my love for Major League. "Up your butt, Jobu!" And keep pushing that GIANT PIG theory. Good luck with that.

Devil in the White City? About HH Holmes and the Chicago Worlds Fair? It was a great book but I ended up liking the Worlds Fair part of the story more then the serial killer part. It was amazing what they pulled off from an engineering point of view in a short period of time.

I really loved how they kept jumping from this amazing feat of engineering, architecture and logistics, and then go to H. H. Holmes as he builds the scariest fucking house on earth.

Manhunter is the preferred film for me. It's the first Mann film that really grabbed my attention. Cox's Lector is pretty fucking good. Red Dragon is a 100% watchable film to be sure though. Really good cast. Norton gets on my nerves in about 98% of the films he's in, including this one. Hannibal Rising is an o.k. film. Scott's Hannibal is borderline comedy and for that I love it. Silence of the Lambs is pure cinema perfection in every way.

He is by far the worlds greatest serial killer. He has given so much to the entertainment world as well, I feel like he should be given special recognition, like some honorary award.

Yes, H.H. Holmes is a psychotic mutherfucker. When I first heard about him in college I thought of an idea of a movie very loosely based on him that takes place nowadays. Basically it is about a psychotic asshole who has built this huge murder mansion.
Ted Bundy, greatest serial killer ever? Isn't that like saying someone is the greatest retard ever? Plus, the guy raped dead women - something he didn't want his "public" to ever know.

I loved both Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs, but got it was a chore to get through Hannibal. I hated, hated, hated that book. Worse thing wasn't that he betrayed his own character Starling (which Jodie Foster was smart enough to realize) but that he did not bring back Will Graham. WTF? The man who originally captured Hannibal and who seemed to share a link with killers. Hannibal should have been Starling going to get the one man who knew Lecter better than her, Graham, and finding him a complete mess.
Hannibal Rising is the Wolverine: Origins of the Lecter books - so bad that it ruined the character for me. Sometimes it is better not to know a characters origin. -

I say that because he was so fucking crazy. And the shit he did was so outlandish and fucked up. Plus like any TV show killer now is based off of shit he did.

Ted Bundy was a Republican; John Wayne Gacy was a Democrat. It is nice to know they were both politically active.

It had nothing to do with Hannibal as a character but Hannibal as Anthony Hopkins played him? I've never read the books and wasn't a diehard fan of Silence of the Lambs, but I did enjoy Hopkins' performance in that first movie. I think this is a case where someone brought so much charisma to the role of such a despicable person that audiences enjoyed watching this villain work. And then Lecter became this sort of beloved character bc of Hopkins' performance, and so Harris decided "Well, they like this guy, let's turn him into an anti-hero of sorts."

Fred watched the MJ memorial. It was Fantastic
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Fred was both deeply moved and greatly entertained. The performances were outstanding. Fred particularly enjoyed Jennifer Hudsons rendition of Will you be there. It was an amazing memorial from start to finish. Rev. Sharpton - whom Fred has had an issue or two with in the past, delivered one of the best sermons/speeches Fred has heard in a very long time. Marlon Jackson told a poignant and funny story. The whole thing was not only dignified and uplifting but fantastically staged and performed. Shame MJ did not live to see it.
-
Normally I hate Fox News but I do agree with this story:
http://tinyurl.com/lnccgd
-
The news media doesn't usually cover the death of just one soldier. Even if 10 are killed in an attack, the story gets mentioned throughout the day, but its never dwelled upon. We're in a "war" and soldier deaths have (or had) become almost a normal, daily occurrence for the country. Its easier to latch onto celebrity stories than it is reality.
-
Umm shit like this always happenes in the news. Its a fucking media outlet, they need ratings too. No one fucking cares about another solider dying. Maybe if that solider had the highest selling album of all time, I would care. That politician was going for a political grab to try to get some noriety and some name recognition. Just a douche bag move.
-
"No one panics when things going according to plan - even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow I tell the press that a gangbanger will get shot or that a truckload of soldier's will be blown up, nobody panics because it is all part of the "plan." But when I say one little old (pop star) will die, then everyone looses their minds..."
-
I even heard about those 7 deaths, and I don't even watch the news. So its not like it was not covered. Fuck I heard more about new stricter public pool regulations in my state then anything during that news segment.
-
As if the network could be any less relevant than it is today, they have to go and play a television show that's been syndicated more often than Baywatch and is already currently playing on three other major cable networks... Seriously, can we get the head of MTV fired already?
-
Its not my fault people want to fight. I didn't fucking make the rules, not my problem every one can't get along. I feel sympothy for people who want to go to war and fight for my freedoms. Freedoms should be able to be had world wide, if we were strong enough we should neturalize the people taking away freedom a lot more effectively.
-
No one cares about another soldier dying. It is just such an easy "turn away, never mind" thing.
But yes the politician is a douchebag. -
As sad as it is, its just expected now. Definitely "part of the plan".
-
t isn't about wanting to fight to me as feeling an obligation to actually carry out the social contract. Soldier's are fulfilling it, I don't feel I am or a lot of other people are.

I was in the military for some time. I've also pretty much been in it my entire life, seeing that I was born in a Navel hospital. Thats part of being in the fucking military, your aren't a hero. You do your job because thats you, you don't do it for recognition. My dad didn't give a shit that anyone thought he was in the military and he was a Navy Captain, buried in Arlington. Afterwards we realized that he probably wouldn't have wanted to be buired there. There is this false ideology that military people should be looked upon as some heroes. Sure they are, but if one dies in battle honor them sure, but to be upset they didn't get enough news coverage? Fucking write your politician about why the war is so fucked.

Soldiers are selfless, and yet to me it sounded like a woman whining that her family wasn't given national attention. It seemed a bit contradictory.
-
And I feel that the Afghanistan Occupation has been handled horribly, but I am not attacking the MJ funeral because of a "ooh, lets go honor the soldier's, wrap myself in the flag" thing. I just find the MJ circus to be another example of our cultures completely unhealthy obsession with celebrities. Someone dies in our name (right or wrong it is in the name of the US) and they get no attention, just like a poor kid in the ghetto gets no attention, but MJ dies, fuck that ain't supposed to happen.
MJ made some good albums, he was in the public spot light for years, but they are covering this like it was the death of Superman (if he really existed). -

Series7 - Fred thinks you are echoing Toadkillerdog
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
He always writes eloquently about Marines and other service people not being heroes, but just doing their jobs. And how the true heroes will never be honored because what they do never gets reported like taking care of kids during a firefight,or protecting the helpless or providing water and food. Fred will not even try to match his eloquence, but it gave Fred a new perspective on service people. Fred honors all who have served. The may not all be heroes, but 99% of them deserve our respect.
-
It will be the death of the current Republican party. Maybe then they can start over and build an actual alternative political choice instead of a bunch of religious nuts and whacked out loonies.
-
That is why we are talking MJ and politics. Sure symptoms of boredom.
-
Was the biggest musician ever. Bigger then the Beatles and Elvis. So he pretty much is a legend. The only bigger person who could die would be Mickey Mouse or Ronald McDonald (did you know the first Ronald McDonald was Willard Scott, weird I know).
-
This would be the richest person in the world. http://tinyurl.com/lu9qu2
-
Fred agrees that the media always over saturates coverage when a major (or even minor celebrity - if it is a slow news week) dies. But Fred would argue that if not Michael Jackson, then who would be deserving of even half of this coverage? Say what you will about him, he touched more lives than any entertainer in history - not because he was better, but because we live in an age where his music was more accessible. He was a global phenomenon, and the outpouring of attention and emotion
and media coverage, reflects that impact. -
But are you at stuck at work from 8-5 in a fucking cube with NO WORK! Like I want fucking work to do I'm so bored. I need more web sites to read, I even brought a comic book to read.

-
I don't know. He might have sold more albums, but I think the Beatles and Elvis will have longer lasting power and had a bigger impact. I don't he has as big as catalogue as they do - besides his Jackson 5 stuff, Off the Wall and Thriller he only has a couple singles in all his other albums.
By the way, biggest musician ever - Beethoven. -
are the same shots of America. I want to see some more international stuff where he is seen as a god. I will always remember this video of some russian girl just absolutely breaking down sobbing in like a parking garage because she was meeting Micheal.

You can mention it, but this morbid showing of his funeral and hours upon hours dwelling upon his death just seems so pathetic in my opinion.
I loved Nirvana when I was younger, and when I heard Kurt Cobain I was stunned, but I didn't feel the need to live vicariously through the grief of others.
However, having said that I do understand that there must be some sort of emotional and psychological need for this. Thousands showed up at Valentino's funeral in the 20s, so it isn't new. It might be part of human nature, but it is like masturbating, it is one of those things some people do way to often. -

Billy Mays death affected me more then MJ. While I was sad to hear MJ died, without getting the chance to right the wrongs, or give us one last hurrah. Go back and look at pictures of him from the early 90s, he's looked like he was about to die for a long time. As for Billy Mays, it was just so sad, because he was just about to be mega huge. And that Pitchmen show was so good and it was right in the middle of the season and he just died. They make him seem like such a nice guy, yeah he may be kind of a dick but everyone is. He came off as a hard worker and really believed in the shit he sold. In the last episode they had some guy dress up and mess with him when he was trying to sell stuff. Even after Billy was done selling the guy came up to ask for an autograph, while Billy was pissed he still gave the guy the autograph. Then he found he out he was being messed with. It was just weird.

Every play by Shakespeare is pretty much a classic. And I don't know about every one naming an MJ song. Beatles have got a lot of hits, and Elvis' songs are just ubiquitous: people might not like his music but they heard of Jailhouse Rock, Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel and Love Me Tender.

The world id ready for Series 14-The Talent Show -
Comparing composers is a lot like comparing authors.
It depends a lot on context.
I think a lot of trained musicians would say that for sheer depth of musical knowledge and technique, vast creativity and performance virtuosity, JS Bach eclipses even Mozart and Beethoven, two stone-cold bona fide geniuses.
But he was virtually unknown for nearly 100 years after his death.
Even today, despite some very popular pieces, he's not hugely popular with the general public.
The Beatles were strong performers of strong and original songs (since 1970 overplayed to the point of tedium) but were not remotely in the class of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart as musicians. However, they've been hugely influential in modern popular culture and admired by literally hundreds of millions of people for decades.
They were the perfect players for the post-war cultural revolution in Western Europe and the US.
Michael Jackson was at least as popular as the Beatles, but was little more than a fine singer and dancer. He had a limited role in composing bits of his music. His vast record sales were closely related to the rise of MTV. Interest over the last 20 years has been driven primarily by his tragically fucked-up personality and life-style.
So, by some criteria, he was the Biggest - but unimportant in the grand scheme of things. -

And $299 for the 16 gigs.
A lot of the apps you can get for free, but most are from $1.99 - $4.99 depending on what it does.
Of course, this is last years model. I still have yet to pick up the new one. -
I got the iPhone for my birthday back in 2007. I only get the free apps, though I really want the Ocarina, and that's pretty cheap. The Complete Shakespeare Works were free (amazingly), and the good thing is, a lot of apps when you get them are sometimes a bit unwieldy. But they constantly update them. Like at first, I couldn't tilt my phone sideways to read his plays; I could only do it vertically in the smaller text. But they've corrected that with updates, and now the whole app is much much easier to use. Apps are like songs from iTunes. Some pple don't mind shelling out money for them. Others are a bit more conscious of what they're buying and do a lot of research before making the purchase (like me).

Lee Childs' "Jack Reacher" novels. Crime/suspense/mystery/kick ass. I stumbled across one of these in the Frankfurt Airport 3 months ago.
Short answer: John Sandford's Lucas Davenport except he fucking kills people. There are 11 so far, written not surprisingly by a Brit.
Sci Fi Horror historical:
Dan Simmons "The Terror" and "Drood", oh yeah and all of his older novels.
Save "The Terror" for winter-it makes John Carpenter's "The Thing" look like a fucking joke.
Sci-Fi:
"20th Century's Best Military Science Fiction" edited by Harry Turtledove. I got it at the library, paid 4 dollars in late fees but was worth it.
George R.R. Martin's "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" Volumes one and 2.
Im a big fan of his recent current fantasy best seller series The song of Fire and Ice-which is a NYT bestseller rightfully so, but he also wrote sci-fi and horror since I was *born*...
Neal Stephenson-Everything up to and including "Cryptonomicon"-evrything past that book is utter shit.
Tim Powers-"The Anubis Gates", "Declare" "Three for Tomorrow". Declare is Nazis versus Cthulhu but even more fucked up than that...Very hard to appreciate unless you study quantum mechanics, and then even more scarier than hell.

American Entertainment News Media has become unhealthy.
Rupert Murdoch's divisive and profitable capitalistic business model has utterly rearranged and ultimately destroyed the traditional dissemination of non-biased information in what is supposedly the freesest nation on Earth.
I'm not going to go out on a limb deriding the utter cessation of any kind of substantive cable news coverage for the last 7 days across *all* the channels that the older generations of Americans use to understand global facts.
I will say that the mindless adulation of such a psychologically flawed individual merely because of a premature death makes me seriously uncomfortable.
To close, I will say this. Michael Jackson getting this kind of mindless adoration=Utter Fail.

I realized that American Forces had committed to an major new offensive in Southern Afghanistan with the roll in of 44,000 additional troops whose mission was to destabilize entrenched Taliban positions.
What I also realized was that at 3:00 in the afternoon local time (the United States), already 3 to 5 of these troops had already died in combat, and that effectively it was already July 5th for them.
Beyond the usual United States Media Holiday package wrap-up where the spoiled media personalities fly off to Switzerland for their 3 day weekend earned vacation whilst the remote crews simply film crap in L.A.-it blew my mind to think...

The Czarinas mystic? Why did he like rats? Why did he write a song about ratfishes?

Rats are fish? Yeah, sure, why not? Same catholic church that took nearly 400 years to pardon Galileo for saying the earth revolved around the sun. They really didn't mean that nasty old persecution during the inquisition, that was an oops.

Rasputina. Gals playing distorted cellos in Victorian-era getups. Were a good band 10-13 years ago, but I can't vouch for them beyond that.

Rasputin got a sex change and cloned hims...herself?

Rasputin insisted that he and Royal family get all messed up because of the inevitable fate.

And then wrote a song about ratfishes

But perhaps he was resurrected in 3 aspects after the snip.

a sex change was only practical.

Is that they chose to do it on a very popular part of the beach, an area that is part of "The Strip" and has tons of bars and restaurants and drunkies and underage drinking and trouble and yadda yadda yadda. Therefore, there are cops all over the place making sure nothing violent happens, as lots of people are cruising the strip in their cars looking for trouble. If they'd gone a few miles down the beach, they'd have been isolated and would have been able to engage in some illicit activity without being seen. Trust me, I *ahem* know just the place.

Wow I think it looks pretty cool. Nice short and sweet trailer. Simple premise then fucked up shit. I tire of LONG ass scary movie trailers giving away everything. I want to see the TV Hung though. After seeing Thomas Jane in Mutant I kept wondering why he isn't a huge star yet. Should have been after one of the best movies about sharks ever Deep Blue Sea. Also speaking of original horror, Drag Me to Heck. Was pretty original, but felt all the same at the same time. Great ending, missed opportunity with not having Bruce Campbell as the dad, though it was funny to see that the guy from Major Leagues was still alive. Also, is the Mac guy have something in his contracts now saying that there will be no fewer then 5 Mac products in my movie.
-
Did anyone see that? I thought it was some J-Horror remake, but Mr The Dark Blade seem to wrote it all by his lonesome. I guess he did that with the Invisible movie as well, that actually looked like it could be fun. Any thoughts?
-
I mean there has to be some good in him, he had something to do with Blade, Dark City and The Dark Knight. Put him with the right director and his work can be great.
-
I wonder how much he really had to do with the Dark Knight. I think I can "feel" his influences in Batman Begins, but I don't think he had much to do with the Dark Knight. I don't see *that* much of The Long Halloween in it (which Goyer admits is a huge influence for him). I think Nolan let his name stay in the credits because he is generous guy.
-
I think he just wrote the original treatment TDK was based on. He had no input into the final screenplay. You can feel his writing all over BB though.
Series I haven't seen them but I've heard nothing but bad things about both of the movies he's directed. -
=his best work to date.
-
I remember loving this fucking thing when I was 15 or so. It seems kind of empty and stupid now. Very stylish but no point to it at all. Makes me want to re-watch Dark City. The soundtrack still kicks ass though. NIN's cover of Dead Souls still kicks my ass.
-
Fucking godawful. The chick was hot though. Like a disease-free Megan Fox.
-
But I did see this documentary on vampire films and found Goyer's interview more fascinating than his movie. He was describing how he based the vampires from Blade on the pretentious club-going douchebags and hip people who walk pass the velvet ropes in NY and Hollywood.
It makes me want to see Blade again; maybe I'll have a new appreciation for it. -
Watched it again recently for the first time in over 10 years. Still rules as much now as it did then. Proyas is one of my fav directors. I even enjoyed I, Robot. The Crow, Dark City (especially!) and Knowing all rule. I have to see Garage Days.

If the workshy git Jarv ever shows up, there'll be plenty of cricket talk. The Ashes starts today. England vs Australia. Probably the most interesting contest between the two countries in quite a while because they are actually evenly matched for once. Blood and tears shall be shed. Just thought I'd let you know the score.
-
I still like the movie...just not as much as I used to. Lee is still great. Ernie Hudson kicks fucking ass, Zed would be proud, and Wincott just may be the most badass dude on the planet. It felt like he was channeling Keitel in Bad Lieutenant the whole time. When they remake it again they need to cast Wincott or his brother in the lead. Where was I? Oh yeah...not as good as I remembered but still good. I also saw about half of Hancock today. It seemed pretty good to me but I didn't make it to the twist that seems to put everyone on the rag. Anyone notice the Michael Mann cameo in the beginning? That was kind of cool.
-
and she's one tasty looking biscuit.
-
The first half of Hancock is actually good. Then it descends into a complete load of shit. The "twist" is shit. The "reveal" is shit. It's all noise and fury. "We were built in pairs." What the fuck? There are so many unanswered questions and gaping plot holes in that flick that the more I think about it the more annoyed I get. Like how the fuck did Smith get the heart on the fucking moon? Cute gag. But it makes no fucking sense! And thats a minor one! The Mann cameo is when Bateman is doing his pitch to the boardroom for the charity, right?
-
And do any of the bowlers throw a Bunsen?
Cricket. Fascinating game that I don't understand at fucking all. It is like watching baseball on Acid. Of course, that is probably how you guys view America's past time. -
Of people I want to work with.
-
The idea of a Crow remake makes me want to fucking vomit. Especially with Norrington directing. And yeah that's where he is. Peter Berg is sort of like his protege at this point. His last two movies were original Mann projects. I wonder what would have happened if Mann ended up doing Hancock. I can't see him doing a comedy. I've listened to his commentaries and he doesn't seem to have any sense of humor.
-
I'm above 99% certain that in Odette Yustman case she's not smugelling frank and beans in her man panties like Megan Fox. That makes Yustman the clear winner.
-
What I don't like about her the same reasons that Series eloquently expressed why he doesn't like Juno - she is crammed down our throats.
I don't care if she slept to get to the top or if she is stuck up or if she even has meat hanging between her legs. What I do care about is that it wasn't the movie goers who made her famous or a star, it was the studios and the entertainment industry. She is the Octo-Mom of Hollywood starlets - a non-important event that the media can't help but push in our faces 24 years a day.
And like Octo-Mom, she actually believes she deserves this success. -
Jul 08, 2009 4:03:30 AM CDT
I've read the original script of Hancock
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Called 'Tonight, He Comes' which is the script that Mann was attached to. It's completely different except that the main character is immortal and a cunt. It is not a comedy. In 1996 or whenever it was being shopped to studios it was seen as groundbreaking and the hottest script in hollywood. It's actually fucking shit. The premise is the most interesting part. Essentially, what if Superman is a cunt that doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself? He doesn't have to answer to anyone because he no one can hurt him. What would his life be like? There are moments of that in the first half of Hancock that I thought worked well. Overall though, Hancock the movie was better than the original script purely because the main character in the script stayed a cunt and ended up throwing a tantrum like a bitch and started killing people and destroying the city. It was fucking stupid.

The other thing about Tonight, He Comes

Bit of a shaky start, but good to get an early wicket. I questioned Hilfenhaus' selection. If he takes a few more he'll prove me wrong. *He says to no one in particular because Jarv is off skiving somewhere. Most likely the pub.*

Jul 08, 2009 6:50:57 AM CDT
it seems I'm never able to watch a movie from beginning
by just pillow talk
to end now.Watched most of Chisum (sp), with John Wayne, though he didn't seem to be in it as much as a title character usually is. It's basically the Young Guns premise, the cattle wars with Murphy. It was a middling of the road western. Only in a gun battle could you have Chisum (Wayne) get into a fisticuffs with Murphy, both fall out a window, and Murphy gets impales with a set of bull horns that he somehow managed to grab from the inside of the building they fell out of. I found that rather amusing.
-
Never saw it, and still haven't seen the whole thing, but what I did see just reinforces how great Clint was (is). Bobby Duvall was in it as well, which I didn't realize.
-
The original is still fantastic.So let's see, other movies I've caught parts of thanks to the early morning/late night feedings: D-Day, the Sixth of June, Snow White and the Three Stooges, Charade, The Dirty Dozen, Battle of the Bulge to name a few.

I couldn't find Stone Brew beer at my local package store. But I did find this decent summer ale from Long Island called Blue Point.

Its werid because Alex wrote it and if I had no idea about him I would have never guess he even knew about the movie.

And not even Bay claimed her fame even though he casted her in a Meat Loaf video. Also that whole thing with her and Billy Bob.

Come on thats the only time I ever watch ESPN. What wrong with showing that? Its only once a year and is a national past time.
-
Why fucking ESPN blows. Personally I hate commentary over sports games, its just fucking annoying. And I hate pregame shows? Why the fuck do we need this? Also why do they wear suits? Am I suppose to think they have something important to say? I'd rather see a couple of fat guys drinking about talking about the game then these supposed professionals blabbing on about stats and shit. I just hate sports and watching sports, sitting at home watching a sporting event makes me want to put a bullet through my skull its so mind numbingly boring and I makes me feel stupider watching it. I just don't understand fascination with sports, and why is it socially acceptable to talk about sports 24 hours a day, but not about movies and TV?
-
I don't understand this as well. While the movies are fun, well the first three were the last few have just bored me. How is a fucking wizzard some huge hit. I guess I need only look to the fame of David Copperfield, Sig and Roy, David Blaine, Mind Freak, and Houdini (though no one cares about him, anyone seen that movie? With Guy Pierce?).
-
some sensuality, thematic material, language, violent content and smoking. SMOKING. really, I think its funny how detailed the rating reason bar is getting now. Public Enemies had GANGSTER VIOLENCE! Some cartoons say for Mild peril.

You are so right, ESPN sucks donkey balls now. Back in the day it was interesting, entertaining and informative. Now a days it's boring, hard to watch and if you're not on the East Coast or not named the Dodgers, USC or the Lakers they could give fuck all care about you.Add in the fucking stupid shit they show as "sports" makes me say double fuck you to the four letter network. Poker! fucking Poker! Jesus what's next, Yack racing from the upper Volga. Dodgeball, Laser Tag fuck off four letter you really are ESPN 8, The Ocho now, if it's almost a sport you can find it there.

how would that not be funny?
-
with their Ashes coverage. They stupid cunts have got 2 different scores up. How am I meant to work out how badly England are sucking? There's still the problem of Prior having to score about 80 runs just to break even for all the balls he's likely to drop. This is very frustrating.
-
well, Chipps is probably asleep, to be fair.
-
then it's honours about even. But they could all be out by then. Hmm. I'm on a one man stream of consciousness here.
-
What. The. Fuck? Mind you, that stupid fat degenerate alky cunt can't play spine, even crap spin, so will probably get out. I'd have sent Broad or Swann in ahead of him. At least they've both made runs recently.

Fucking Americans and their stupid baseball. Though, maybe the Mets think they are playing cricket instead of baseball? Tell me Jarv/Droid...is zero a good score to have in cricket? It's not in baseball, and since the Mets excel at it, I'm hoping this would make them quite the excellent cricket team.
-
Can expell you from the game if he doesn't think that you are dressed well enough. They need to bring that rule into American sports. I was watching the Dogers play the other day, and that guy who is trying to become a women was batting and he had fucking bagging pants on. Fucking missed getting on first by a micro second, and then bitched about it to the umpire. If I was the ump I would have told that pre opp tranny that if he had worn fucking pants that fit he would have made it on base. And to cut his fucking hair, well too be fair he is growing it out to feel more like a women.
-
complete shit. Not unlike the Australian bowlers who have let fat incompetent Flintoff and useless prior score 80 runs in rapid time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Mind you, we've still got to bowl I was going, but couldn't resist leaving that for Droid, irritable, ironic and chipps. Peter Siddle 21 Overs bowled, 88 runs conceded, 0 wickets taken. Hauritz: 19 overs bowled, 1 wicket taken 67 runs conceded. Both of those are way below the bowling equivalent of the Mendoza line. What the fuck happened to Australia? This England side is garbage.
-
Really. ciao.
-
Warwick Davis plays cricket??!!!Cricket > NFLThe Mets concede tons of runs, so they really are playing cricket right now. Also, I'm pretty sure Luis Castillo was over bowled when he dropped that easy pop fly against the Yanks.Twat.
-
sign me up. god damn that would be great television!
-
Fuck you Jarv ya gloating bag of cocks! Peter Siddle 23 Overs bowled, 93 runs conceded, 2 wickets taken! Spoke a bit too soon there. hehehe Good days cricket though. Good even contest. If we knock you guys off for about 350 it'll be just an okay total.

Not here, not on AIBN?

Actually it was on ESPN 2 and it wasn't any good. The main problem is that they took it much to serious and didn't embrace the goofyness of what they were doing.I thought they should've run it like rec leauge softball. All the players should get good and liquered up on cheap beer and bottom shelf hooch so they're all angry. The red rubber balls need to get replaced with similar sized medicin balls so when its bounce off the baldomullet dome of what used to be softball guy* it visibly hurts.*Softball Guy= That mega-douch in the rec league that wears eye black to games, takes it waaay to serious, has expensive cleats, glove and bat and takes out the catcher because "he was blocking the plate". Softball guy also spikes the second basemen to "break up the double play." Softball guy usually played some college ball or maybe even some minor league and would have made the big show if he didn't have "bad luck" or if the Manager and coaches didn't "hate" him. Sure softball guy suuuuure.The other softball guy is that lameo sporting the backwards cap, usually fifty pounds overweight, with a gut the size of a pony keg. This fucker wears a jersey with number 69 on it because "it's cool and the bitches love it". This gooftard makes all his "bros or brohiems" call him the Hammer.

On Cartoon Network (I'm watching Clone Wars). They tried to sell it as some teenage romantic comedy and had "wacky" rock music playing throughout the entire trailer. There was absolutely nothing serious about it at all. It kinda made me a little sick to see them try to sell their product that way, disrespecting the material. Of course, I don't like the director at all. That may be exactly how he made the film. Blech.

Ok, truth be told, I do not hate MMA. I have seen some good brutal fights. But honestly, it gets boring and dudes do a little too much fuck position wrasslin. Boxing on the other hand, can be epic.

But how many fights nowadays are like Hagler-Hearns' The War? Actually how many really good boxers are out there nowadays? Manny Pacquiao, yes, but who else? Sugar Shane Mosley is definitely getting on in years, and the Heavy Weight division is completely dominated by boring Rooskies.
I'm a fan of both MMA and Boxing, but I have to admit MMA is putting out the better fights right now. Of course, part of that is do to the wide range of skill sets brought into it - no one has a complete game right now.

Thing about MMA is that it is like knock out punch highlights
by toadkillerdog
Yes, there is nothing more brutally exciting than seeing some dude get put - as in the immortal words of Sugar Ray Leonard "on queer street".
But, after seeing one great hit, over and over and over, it does leave something else to be desired. A true fight. Not wrasslin and kicking. MMA appeals to younger gen in part, not all, but in part, because they have shorter attentions spans. -
I'm 37. But I like it because it is 3 dimensional. So many facets must be learned. Boxers have a higher degree of skill, but that is because they only have on skill to learn - the punching game. MMA fighters have to know at least a little in both stand up (punching and kicking) and in grappling.
As for a "true fight." What the hell is that? I don't think people in street fights so "oh, excuse me, lets not grapple or kick." MMA isn't a street fight - nothing is - but it is closer to a "true fight" whatever the hell that is. -

-
Most of the MMA fighters have not really mastered any of the three facets. They learn a few moves here and there, but get taken out by someone who knows just a little bit more. As for true fight, well you are right about that. It is closer to a street fight than boxing is.

wannabe military guy is never as creepy as when he reenacts
by ironic_name
especially with airsoft guns. its actually quite good to have some colour photos of ww2. but still, its guys who want to kill, with no respect for human life. I mean, listen to a 'digger' or any vet and most of them, the older ones, say they were just scared boys shooting at other scared boys because they had both been told to. doesn't sound like fun.
-
It didn't start until 1993 so it hasn't even been around for 2 decades yet.
Still, I can tell when a fighter has skill or talent. You watch someone like Georges St. Pierre, Anderson Silva or Fedor Emelianenko and you can see where the skill comes in, especially in the ground game when they are setting there opponents up. Fedor sometimes looks like he is three to four moves ahead of his opponent.
Brock Lesnar, however, is just a monster. He looks like someone who could fight the Hulk. Still, I'm bumped to see his fight against Mir this Saturday. -

They can not be fucking serious! They are making a movie
by toadkillerdog
Out of that? Ok, well I am not totally shocked, it is Lorne Michaels. Dude just can't admit he got lucky with one or maybe two SNL movies tie-ins, and the rest have been utter shit.
-
Like I said, I do not hate it, and have seen some good fights.

God I can't stand him. Why am I watching his show? He seems to have a problem with MJ being an African-American icon despite the fact he has white children. What the fuck does one have to do with the other? The guy's a moron. That's all.

Maybe this will be a spoof of action films. Tommy Boy, while not based on an SNL skit, was produced by Lorne Michaels and is a classic in my book. On that same page, however, how many pple saw Its Pat! or the Stuart Smalley movie or Superstar?
-
Jump ahead of the curve Vader. Just like back in the 70's dudes were called a Jive Turkey, then just Turkey. Then it just became too laughable - ok it was always laughable, but it had some sting at first.
-
Bill O'Reilly is jive Turkey!
-
A true comedy classic. The only other decent SNL-based movie is Wayne's World, but it didnt age well, kinda like Mike Myers. Pat and Stuart Smiley were horrible characters to begin with. The only other I've heard from anyone was good is Night At the Roxbury. Tommy Boy was good because they made an 'original' movie with two SNL cast member who had good chemistry. Like with Sandler, his early movies (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Waterboy) were hilarious but can you imagine just how shit an Opera Man movie would have been, both to the audience and Sandler's career?
As for McGrubber, I barely found it funny as a two minute skit. The whole premise of it is that he's incompetent and because of him everyone ends up exploding. How do you stretch that to 90 minutes?
Were there any MadTV characters made into movies? The only one I'd like to see made is a Will Sasso as Steven Seagal movie, fucking genius impersonation. -
just how the hell is Seth Rogan such a big star when Will Sasso isnt?
-
a complete load of boring shit that people go nuts over. Boggles the mind.
-
Completely forgot about it, but it was on the tip of my brain. Instead, I went to Tommy Boy.

At least Jolie has shown over the years to have great acting talent and some intelligence in between all the creepy shit, although she's never been hotter than she was in Hackers. Megan Fox is just a dumb dirt trash knucklehead who likely no one will remember in 5 years.
-
Check out the MacGruber episodes with Shia LaBouef, they were probably the funniest ones they did. I'm with you on this I'm not sure how the hell they will make a movie out of this.
-
Like cocksucker and motherfucker. Those are timeless classics like a fine Eye-talian shotgun or a Saville Row suit.
-
Even though Joilie is as fucked up as they come, she isn't dumb and by Hollywood standards she's sort of smart. Plus I give her props for walking the walk with orphan children and not using them as props. Her and Pitt both get my respect for that.

There is nothing wrong with sports. In fact I love playing sports, I wish people would spend as much time playing sports as they do watching sports.

The doc movie about OLD Rolling Stones....while it looks ok, why would I want to see a concert movie about the stones in their 70s? Why didn't someone do this back when ALL those songs came out? It looks like a sequel to Grumpier Old Men.
-
Reminds me of some comedian (Peter Corelle maybe?) routine about how if he never saw anyone playing the guitar before he would have thought that it was fucking impossible to play.
-
WoW I'm only an hour deep and its already the poops scoop. That shot in the subway scene through the front of the rail car was fucking balls deep! I never thought I'd see a subway scene top Die Hard 3: Die Hard With a Vengeance, but that just may have. I take back all back thoughts I had about Alex after Garage Days and I, William Tiberius Smith. Watching that movie and just finding out about this website http://tinyurl.com/n9fbkj I think I am going to predict the end of comics now. Hopefully this last hour is not as big of a let down as they have fortold.
-
While a fucking loud movie, I really dig the use of the foreboding score. It's a pretty tense thriller. Flaming MOOSE!
-
That little girl looks just like Rose Byrne, Mo cap?
-
2-93? Wow. Colour me unimpressed. Although it is better than 0-88 when I posted, and much better than Howshits 1-67. It's still crap.Having now watched all the wickets, I have to say that the England team is full of stupid cunts that just gave it away- Pietersen, Collingwood, Cook, Bopara, Prior all just gave it up. Flintoff did much better than expected and Strauss got a bitch of a ball. Broad and Swann can bat a bit, and if they play up to their average then that's 400 on a turning pitch. Not too shabby. 350 would be alright as well. PS Hauritz is the worst bowler I've ever seen playing for Australia. He's fucking useless. Broad and Swann to hit a few this morning, then a nice overcast afternoon and good Jimmy rather than useless evil twin jimmy to turn up and swing the ball round corners. In all honesty, this has a bit of a whiff of draw about it. It's meant to fuck it down over the weekend- 2 days lost, and it will take at least a day and a half if not 2 days to complete the first innings. Which is a fucker, because Lords is next and we always lose there. Mind you, it is England, so if anybody can find a way to lose, I'm sure they can.
-
What a great fucking movie. Knowing was awesome, I butt fucking loved the ending. WOW I can't believe how much I fucking loved this thing, I got a bit of anal leaking toward the end about how cool it was. Also I got to find out where anal beads come from. While I don't know if I would have liked this movie as much if I saw it in theaters, just because I may have gone to see it at the $1 theater where the sound is shit. But at home I turned up the Bose surround and completely dark except for the Tele and it plays off as kind of a scary movie in parts. I know remember why I used to think Proyas was the fucking bomb. I don't know what he was doing from 98 to 02 but I hope he was writing more shit like this.
-
Proyas has directed over 100 music videos? Flaming moose! Seriously why doesn't IMDB list music videos directors made? Ohh he didn't write Knowing, produced it.
-
Will pretty much flops. As for Knowing, yeah it does play out like a good Twilight Zone episode, which I don't mind. I think they should do that more, Signs was ok, and that new James Marsden flick looks okie dokie. I really can't believe that it had the ending it did, I love how they went bat crazy. Also SPOILER what happened to Rose was great as well, I wanted it to happened after she just spazes out.
-
Before 2012, because I don't think it will be as great as I watch the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Why didn't they just call it Ronald Emmerich destroys the world, hopefully that's a VHS tape 2 feature.
-
I watched Drop Zone last night. And it was mint. I find Wesley as the parachuting DEA agent v The Busey fucking hilarious.
-
that's why it got two sequels and a TV show. It cost 15 million and made 90 worldwide. Dark City...is another matter.
-
I thought it looked a bit like shit, and I'm still reeling from the crass product placement that ruined I, Robot for me. "Nice Shoes".
-
and cost fuck all to make. As I remember. It's a fucking epic film anyway.
-
Yeah I just read that about the Crow. So that makes sense. It looks like it cost more.
-
See you later.
-
I realize that it has a shit trailer, but a pretty awesome poster. As for Proyas involvement in I, Robot any real problems I have with that movie I blame on Will Smiths 100 million box office success production company. They water everything down to ensure they make their mark every time. Though looking at the success of I am William Smith and Handcock, Francis Lawrence and Peter Berg should be able to do whatever they want for a while. Too bad I, Robot was not as big (twas big but not AS BIG). And mark my words Peter Berg (unless he just keep making crap like Handcock) will win Best Director Oscar at some point.
-
Was fucking jumping around like he was standing on hot coals. He was shitting himself (especially after copping a bouncer on the grill). How he managed to luck his way to 36 is a fucking miracle. He got bamboozled by a great delivery. He's shit.
-
The arrogant cunt refuses to admit he played what is possibly the most ridiculous shot I've seen in ashes cricket. "I was unfortunate to hit the ball on to my helmet, otherwise it would have been a single to fine leg." What an absolute bag of cocks that bloke is.
-
Shit.
-
Played quite well. Looked comfortable. Got an absolute nightmare delivery.
-
Slow, boring cunt. Almost chopped it onto his stumps about three times. The 60-odd runs is flattering.
-
Can't play spin/slow bowling for shit. Played a few good shots but looked uncomfortable.
-
Good little innings.
-
Bowled well all day without much luck. Deserved the two wickets.
-
Bowled well. Especially in the morning session.
-
Unthreatening early. Bowled okay, with a few brilliant deliveries (Bopara and Strauss wickets) when brought back on.
-
ball?
-
human centipede - what the fuck? i mean that seriously. what the fucking fuck??
-
Not up to snuff. But he suckered arrogant fuckwit Pietersen into SWEEPING a delivery that was A FUCKING METRE outside off stump. Best that can be said about him is that he was relatively inexpensive. Mainly because fuckwit and shithead were playing too safe to go after him.
-
there is a ratfish.com. they tell me i should have been there last week. evidently it was a good week at ratfish.com oh yeah, Giant Capybara!

Man there is a bunch of horror films I have never heard of
by continentalop
Coming out besides Human Centipede. Some zombie/gangster-caper flick called The Horde, a movie about a hybrid alien/human called Humpty-Dumpty, another zombie flick about a guy who keeps a female zombie around for necrophillia called Deadgirl, a movie about a future plague called 2084.
I have no clue if any of them are good. -
I really think the Zombie genre has run it's course:

Siddle now a mighty 2-121. That's garbage. Howshits is now 1-80. Johnson has OK figures, Hilfenhaus bowled well, back to work
-
this utter crap then I'd be copping no end of shit off you. 2 bob attack, this.
-
Broad, Swann and Anderson have put on 77 runs in 11 overs. That's fucking embarrasing. I reckon the top order were playing the Aussie reputation rather than the reality.
-
now i feel like a vb.

I'm waiting to see what how the Poms go
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
before dishing out too much shit. If it's the bowling, fair enough. But it looks to me like a flat, lifeless pitch (of course it is, this is the fucking UK).
-
Actually-NO. Just felt like saying that. Hey the Sawks are talking Saito for Atkins. Hmmmm.
-
no! the bizare thing is, what with all the rain they get you'd think they'd gear their pitches for early decisions.
-
Good total for the poms. About 80 more than I would've liked (at least!). I think you may be right about this heading for a draw, Jarv. That's if the aussies don't fall in a fucking heap. Which they shouldn't.
-
They actually scored five fucking runs...in one game!
-
That should make Xi a bit happy, since it was the hated Dodgers the Metsies beat.
-
in the ninth. Here ya going Manny Roids...whack!...gone.Then he proceeds to throw five balls in a row before finding the strike zone again. And Ollie is still Olllie...seven fucking walks in five innings...
-
Seriously, throw up a dude from the minors instead. If they weren't running during his last at bat, he would have grounded into yet another double play.
-
I'm feeling sort of invincible now.
-
It was...underwhelming.Rutger Hauer, Craig T. Nelson, John Hurt, and Dennis Hopper, and I found it rather middling of the road effort. There definitely wasn't any suspense, though I did learn that if you're Rutger, don't cross your wife. She's has fucking deadly aim with a crossbow.
-
methinks not. If it weren't for the weather almost every pitch here is a result pitch. And you know it. This one is- that cunt howshits was managing to get turn. Nice attempt to distract from the truly pitiful Aussie bowling by the way...
-
Hasn't stopped you before. This Australia side= mediocre and grossly overrated because this England side= shit. Sorry boys you aren't what you used to be.
-
I'm convinced he's actually twins. One of whom is quite good, the other who is complete shit. Shit Jimmy has turned up today.
-
morning either. THis is going to be a long day. You can't bowl that shit at the top order, or even at the lower order.
-
English pitches are shit. This one is no different. Looks like Hughes likes it too.
-
either way, they're bowling utter dross. Fast dross, but dross nonetheless.
-
Like Edgbaston (result pitch), Old Trafford (Result Pitch), Trent Bridge (result pitch), Lords (result pitch if England want to lose), HEadingly (ball swings round corners), The Oval is usually a draw because it's in fucking september and always loses 2 days. You're talking crap. Again
-
Is this the same english side you said had a bunch of good players?
-
Jul 09, 2009 6:45:55 AM CDT
Yeah, great breakdown of your pitches, mate
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Just list them and stick "result pitch" next to each one. Congrats.

the best team ever. we have dropped a notch to the best current team.

Jul 09, 2009 6:54:54 AM CDT
5 overs in... Swann gets the new ball
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Pretty desperate. Broad must've be bowling absolute shit.
-
and an awful lot of mediocrity/ shit. England usually has result pitches because of the atmosphere. You just make sweeping generalisations to annoy me. Mind you, this is the first time a test has ever been in Wales, so who can say what this one is. The only guide we've got is that GLamorgan were fined for excessive and dangerous turn earlier in the season.
-
Jul 09, 2009 6:59:38 AM CDT
"You just make sweeping generalisations to annoy me."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Would I do that?
-
To put it mildly. Too short, too wide. As bad as you're lot yesterday. Strauss likes to put swann on with the new ball though. It's idiotic, and an idea he got from the IPL
-
Yes. Platypus shagging cunt.
-
see you at around 4. Should be a good afternoon. I fancy the aussies to put on 500-ish (England are far too reliant on fat Alky and schizophrenic Anderson) then it to piss it down over tomorrow and Saturday.
-
Don't knock it till you try it.
-
Will be the score when you return. Hughes on 130-odd. We'll see how that prediction turns out.
-
In sixty seconds. That's how long it takes my bear to reach his top speed of 200mph.I have him on a strict diet of infidels and beer. It seems to have made him lighter in his paws.

he's my old bear and inclined to lazyness, guinness and infidel pies

The cunt. Seems like he's bowling well.

You mean this isn't a cricket forum?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
How about this... it's movie AND cricket related! Have you seen 'I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer'?
-
Looks like both bowling line ups are pretty ineffectual. The Poms are just leaking runs. This series has a massive problem if both sides can't bowl each other out.
-
yup. The ball turns but it doesn't make any difference if it's miles from the stumps. Ineffectual. This is drawn.
-
looks like he can't deal with short bowling. Pity broad wasted it early on- he should never have got to 30. I wouldn't worry though, Australia, barring a cock up will bat out tomorrow, then it will rain for 2 days and it will be drawn. Dogshit. This is why you don't open the Ashes in Wales.
-
That sounds genius. It may just balance out the massive suckitude of Rolf Harris.
-
Just for series. You're fucking batsmen are sucking the life out of this. And there's no excuse- it's fucking Ponting. Katich must be the most boring player around at the moment.
-
Any of you Blimy's ever get one of those Cricket bored games? They looked so crazy I wish I had bought one whilst in England.
-
call me cynical, but as this is the first time that Glamorgan have had a test (and they aren't likely to get another one after this), they paid £3m for it and are charging tickets at over £100 I wonder if they have cynically prepared a draw pitch to guarantee 5 days and some cash. That would be a typically welsh thing to do. Lucky Lords is next and that will be an Aussie win inside of 4 Days. For certain.

I bet some twat will film it.
