Domestic Trailer for John Woo's RED CLIFF hits!
Hey folks, Harry here with the trailer for the consolidated RED CLIFF. In China - this was released as two very long movies, but domestically - we're getting a condensed version of the film. This wasn't so much the choice of MAGNET, as much as it was always the plan from John Woo - who seemed to want to go this route with the film. I love the long form version of the RED CLIFF saga. It is a full on return to form for John Woo - and a pair of great period epics that form a larger greater epic when viewed back to back.
So - what does the stand alone RED CLIFF got going on? Well, from the trailer they seem to be keeping the big set pieces, but I can't imagine how this movie gets cut into a single film. It's like imagining LORD OF THE RINGS being broke down into a single film. Even when Bakshi did it, it wasn't the entire epic. Anyway - it's a very good trailer:
I hope they keep the gathering of arrows - oh. CLICK HERE for the trailer!!!

I’ve been hearing how this was the end all be all of Halloween Horror movies for a few years and it is most definitely NOT the case. The biggest draw, for me, was hearing that it was an anthology with interconnecting stories ala Creepshow meets Pulp Fiction. Taking a linear story, chopping it up and playing it from different perspectives, doesn’t impress me. I thought this movie was very generic from the lighting, to the direction to the acting. For those of you that think Anna Paquin is attractive, you need to get your fucking eyes checked. Her puggy nose, fucked teeth and wonky mouth killed by boner faster then a shotgun blast to the crotch. This chick should be living under a bridge, especially compared to some of the hot ass that was parading around in this movie.
I now understand why Warner Brothers was ready to bury this flick and I think that you’re all fucked in the head if you think this deserved to be released theatrically. This movie was PAINFULLY average in almost every way nor did it have sufficient gore or nudity to keep my interest.
Once again a case of internet sites hyping up the work of someone who’s been involved with some large scale movies (X-Men 2, Superman Returns) in the hopes that said Writer/Director will give them exclusives the next time he’s involved with another big budget studio flick and, considering that Singers career is on the downturn with SR and Valkyrie, I don’t think Michael Dougherty’s going to be involved with many more of those. -
I liked SPAWN.
-
To see another overly long Asian epic?
-
I think you mean U.S/American/International don't you? Or do you think "domestic" is another word for ameryykun?
-
It's already playing in the cheap seats here in Northern Ireland. I assume it was this edit, was about 2 1/2 hours and had the arrow collecting scene (which was cool). Seriously this has been and gone in cinemas here, I caught it in the second chance slot last week. Guess this is payback for you guys getting those pixar movies months before us!

Is it in Mandarin or that horrible sounding Cantonese?
by grandmufftarkin
Please let it be the former.
-
two weeks ago.i didnt have the opportunity to watch it yet,but from what i have read its not a very good film.watchable but not in the league of CTHD or Hero.
-
Red Cliff was out here months ago, UP premiered last weekend... no question who gets the shitty end of the stick. On Topic, RedCliff was pretty good actually, my expectations were not very high..
-
never got the whole fuss about Pixar, if I want to watch a cartoon I'll turn on Tom & Jerry. The 2 1/2 hour version of Red Cliff is an excellent film and the best thing Woo has done in years.

I need another shot of "Tequila"
HB is my fave action movie of all time so a return to the heroic bloodshed genre would be most welcome. Come on John Woo! Bring back Chow too. Nobody blasts fools like Chow Yun Fat with a Beretta in each hand! -
arrogance was what I meant.
-
saw it about a month ago pretty good movie except the ending was a little bit rushed and didn't make sense to me
-
This is looking gwood. Reviews @ http://sickpicks.blogspot.com/
-
I thought John Woo was over the whole white doves thing. He really pushes for those doves though, I mean, he even got them in MI:II. The man is a bird lover.
-
I'm so not there. I hate John Woo movies.
-
I saw it as 2 separate movies on DVD sometime in the spring. Pretty good, too bad they are not releasing both movies here in the US, but some weird amalgam of both.
-
And it's awesome.
-
After watching RAN for the 20th time I found Red Cliff 1 and 2 a bit lacking and a little too hokey. Still an amazing spectacle to behold especially on the big screen and plenty of breathtaking colors and battles. Personally I prefered Three Kingdoms (and Battle Of Wits though it was a completely different story) because Andy Lau was much more convincing as a grizzled charasmitic hero than Snoozer Kaneshiro and it also had Ti Lung who has aged horribly but still makes everything way cooler. And Sammo Hung as well!!
Red Cliff 1 and 2 -3 Shark fins out of 4
Three Kingdoms - 3.5 out of 4
Battle of Wits (Available now from Dragon Dynasty as A Battle of Warriors) - 3.75 out of 4 -
Why is it not out in the states until now??
-
Right after the guy extinguishes the candle flame, the next scene has some boats leaving, the center boat shows some cavitation that looks like a typical boat engine starting up. Did they have a manual driven prop system of some kind in that time period ?
-
I thought Red Cliff was pretty great. What is does especially brilliantly is lay out the strategies employed by the Generals, and successfully convey the tides and turns of battle.
It's a strategist's wet dream. -
I doubt John Woo wanted to make a condensed version of this. Better to show the two parts together than cut over an hour of footage. Imagine Kill Bill as a single condensed film missing an hour of footage. I like good use of editing as much as the next man, but sometimes it just serves to lessen the amount of enjoyment.
-
When Hollywood took woo under its wing i thought The American action game would change. woo was the last gun fighter and holly wood did not let him reach is full big budget potential.

sounds like a fucking good movie to me.. especially if most of it came off Vol.2
-
I hate that crap. It makes absolutely zero sense.
-
saw cliff 1 & 2 when they came out here in asia. forget the last few shitty films woo did. he's back! part 1 is great as it is, but part 2 something else. forget troy, gladiator, kingdon of heaven, and all the other chinese/hongkong periop war epic(i've seen most of them), THIS is the one to beat as of now.
-
is what I want! I'll wait for dvd
-
Sorry, I missed your comments to me. Yeah, you're right. But I live abroad so time zones are tough in terms of replying & I didn't vote etc. Not that there's much point voting back home anymore! They're all the same.
Might as well have a wank with kitchen gloves on for all the good it'll do ya!
-
be compared to Lord of the Rings. Ever. Aside from the one cool 'dove' shot at the end of part one (you'll know it when you see it) and the cool 'collecting the arrows' bit.... the movies are just an excuse for Chinese people to ponse around pretending to be making a classic film. But the result is so disappointing (especially the second part) that it's embarassing. I actually feel that putting them both together would be a far better viewing experience... rather than using up all the good bits in part one... and then having NOTHING LEFT for part two.

Peeps, It's not wire-fu. It's based on Romance of the 3 Kingdoms
by damien chowder
It has real historical figures and based on accounts on recorded events.
I can see how Woo wants to cut this into one movie. There are a few moments not pivotal to the main story but that amounts just a little. So it could work if it was a long cut, say a 4 hour movie. -

We see that in theatres, many buy it on DVD blu-ray... and then a few months later SHAZAM! Extended uncut director's cut of both films together on blu-ray with fancy packaging and possibly a BD exclusive feature that lets us slo-mo the scenes whenever we want and have doves fly across the screen!
-
How about a fucking pigeon next time, John Woo!
-
Who needs overly long historical epics that are bereft of emotion & grandiose for their own sake? Yaaawn.
-
and on Blu-Ray no less. Slow-ass American studios raping foreign films yet again. Will they retitle it as well, like they seem keen(retarded) to do when butchering most Asian films?
-
many people know but the colour of the gloves makes a big difference :)
-
Magnet: We'd prefer to release RED CLIFF parts one and two uncut.John Woo: No, you can't release it uncut. You must release this "International version" which is missing no less than half of this sprawling epic movie that I busted my ass making.Magnet: B-b-but...John Woo: This is non-negotiable.Magnet: (sigh) All right, Mr. Woo.Didn't. Fucking. Happen.
-
But I haven't seen it in a long time. I am yet to see Red Cliff. That must be changed.
-
I watched this on the weekend. I've already seen it but the missus wanted to watch it. It is kind of amusing with one or two good lines. "You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, Motherfucker!"
-
Also watched the second ep of this. It's pretty average thus far, but I won't give up on it just yet.
-
The last episode was complete shit. Might give up on that one.
-
I went out boozing on friday night, and didn't do much else except watch x factor (the missus influence). Pretty boring weekend.
-
Surely he can understand a simple fucking command. "Go to the Red Cliff TB." He's probably out cornholing the wombles again.

And after about 3 minutes of jabbering french or italian or whatever she was speaking, interspersed with QT going "uh-hu" or "yeah" I gave up. Did anyone make it to the end? Can you summarise it for me?

Guess I'll go do some work then.

It was a valiant try, sir.

So I will do my best to help.

NOW WITH ADDED JOHN LITHGOW ASS!
-
Hows the job going? Never watched Dexter. Lithgows ass isn't gonna change that.
-
The collected writers of Dexter are sitting in writers' room, wracking their brains, trying to come up with something, some angle, some new twist, that will make Dexter even better.Writer #1, frustration painted across his face, says: "But Dexter is already so awesome. How on Earth can we be expected to make it even awesome-er?""To true," Writer #2 says. "What could we possibly add to increase the awesome-ness of Dexter?"Writer #3 raises his hand timidly and offers, almost apolagetically: "John Lithgow ass?""YES!" The other writers exclaim, high fiving each other furiously. "AWESOME!"And then they head outside to play hackey sack or whatever it is writers do to celebrate the birth of an awesome idea.
-
But it is not. It's great to have Dexter back, and a little John Lithgow ass never hurt anyone.
-
Maybe the John Lithgow ass has affected me after all...
-
Job is going okay. It's not a keeper, but it'll do for now anyway.Those douches won't let me use the internet when I'm supposed to be working (the NERVE!), but I get to use their wi-fi with my fancy new laptop whenever I'm on a break.How are things up London? Have you and Jarv settled your differences in Thunderdome yet?
-
by the ass of John Lithgow.
-
If Jarv can tear himself away from molesting wombles on wimbledon common we can return to scheduled programming and the aforementioned thunderdome showdown can ensue.
-
X: Men: Origins: Wolverine: Whatnotand 12 Rounds, directed by Dumbhouse maestro Renny Harlin and starring human action figure John Cena.I'm mostly looking forward to 12 Rounds, but I'm curious to see if Wolverine is as bad as everyone says.He also gave me Halloween II (Rob ZOmbie version), which I tried to watch last night, but it was so fucking dark (visually, not tonally) that I had to turn it off.
-
Wolvie is okay. Not as terrible as people have said (you know that hysterical extremes on this site. Everything is either the "biggest piece of shit ever" or "the best flick of all time". It's neither terrible, nor is it very good. 12 Rounds is quite amusing. But it's moronic and is essentially a highlight reel of other action flicks. And Cena makes Keanu Reeves look like Jim Carrey in the facial expression department. Fuck Rob Zombie.
-
Not a bad way to start the day.
-
I hate it when I don't close the bracket!
-
Today marks one week as a non-smoker. Seven whole days with no tobacco whatsoever.Hooray for me and whatnot.The first few days were rough, but I have finally stopped wanted to punch people for no good reason, and I have very little desire to break things any more.I think I am a non-smoker now. Jarv will be so disappointed.
-
Cheers, droid. Have a good day.JOHN LITHGOW'S ASS IS ALL I CAN SEE!!!
-
Have a good one. I've cut back on my smokes. Down to about 2 or 3 a day during the week. Only smoke in the evening. On weekends I tend to smoke a bit more because I'm either drunk or bored. Or both. But I've cut back majorly in the last two months with an aim to quitting for good. Keep it up.
-
was ridiculous. Not very good, but I had fun with it--then again I watched it with Danny (synchronous viewing from our respective locations) for a Live Chat we did.
The part where the villain has perfectly anticipated the fat cop's presence on the elevator and uses the term "Willie's unfortunate girth" is priceless. Saw has nothing on this movie for ludicrous traps.
Here's that link if you want to examine the madness further:

comes out tomorrow. Finally. I put review up over at my place.
http://cinematropolis.wordpress.com/2009/10/04/the-weekly-creepy-trick-r-treat-is-a-sweet-surprise/ -
seems a bit like an odd idea. The RC movies are interesting in that for the most part they are all forward motion, and while there's definitely some down time or dramatic development, they aren't really slow. So I wonder what they will cut to get it down. I can't imagine it having nearly the same impact, if any at all.
-
Did your sister turn down sex again this morning.
-
how was the weekend?
-
and knowing that the UK is getting both individually on the cinema (we've only had part 1 so far) let me warn anyone that is thinking of watching the condensed version. Don't do it. The two individual films are fucking superb and 2 of the best films I've seen this year. You'll lose so much nuance, detail and subpplot it'll be a fucking shame. But you get to keep the 'splosions. Fucking sad. Why do American distributors assume that the American population is full of idiots that can't watch a two part series.
-
I watched a load of films (I think the dream of 500 is going to go out the window), almost all of which were good to great and chilled. It was excellent.
-
Doom. What a shitbucket. The only good thing about that film was the FPS sequence which was brilliant. The rest of the film was an ass burger with a side order of ass.
-
Which I had ALSO seen before. It was okay. Not a patch on the tv show though.
-
boy playing the flute being lost in favor of the battle sequences.
Those scenes however gave the film it's flavor and nuance. I just don't understand why this is still happening here. I mean up until about 2001, even the art theater near me got films dubbed. What gives? It's like we take so long to get with the program in regards to foreign fare. America is always getting the 'dumbed' down treatment.
Anyways, Jarv, did you see mavra's message over at Twitch? -
I keep telling you that I don't venture further south than Leicester Square (and even that is rare), Womble molesting (and cottaging) is more your neck of the woods. What with your "interest" in bizarre wildlife. You want to see the wombles around here- a sorry bunch and no mistake. It's tragic. I'm tempted to start a charity called Wombles Already Needing Kindness (or WANK for short).

I thought of a better word for "A" just as I posted. Anyhoo that way everyone can "give a wank" about a poor forgotten London subspecies.
-
What a waste of Rosamund Pike.
Jarv, did you see my Trick 'r Treat review yet? Good flick, I think you are going to dig it. -
by the way. The numbers are so low today that Harry probably needs the hits.
-
That was harsh from Mavra. What the fuck? Droid, shall we go and use Jonah's wordpress thing to set up a "churchofchang" site?
-
The cottaging capital of the world. Coincidence? I think not.
-
Which will be the death of me.
-
Which you live ON!!!! Anyhow, scruffs like me aren't allowed anywhere near Hampstead. You know that.
-
Yeah. Lets do it.
-
Obviously. Or sell drugs to the locals.
-
we're on then.
-
And on that note I'm off for a smoke and then back to work. See you in a bit.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
for movie reviews and such (and now that mymavra has self-destructed I could steal some contributors). Anyway, I was planning on having a dedicated Church of Chang section.
-
but I can throw up a site there for you if you like. Do you guys have an email or something you can create to operate it from. You can make several people administrators too. I.E. Jarv, Droid, whomever else, you could all have access to and run the blog with no need for a 'grandmaster', unless, y'know, you like that sort of thing.

But this wordpress site could be a good trial run
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Before I take the plunge (and put in all the effort of creating a bloody website!).
-
you've seen Cinematropolis right? that's a wordpress site and for me it works just as well as a website. In fact, there are templates for making it look more like a website. It's really user friendly and you don't have to worry about a crappy interface system. Dear lord, that one over at MM sucked. I would post it and then it would look like Hunter S. Thompson wrote it from his bathtub vision quest.
-
if Mavra has gone the way of the dodo, I saved all the schlock vault reviews elsewhere, so putting them up wouldn't be hard. Instant content.
-
stuff from my site too...or plain write some new content once in awhile. I don't think you guys will have difficulty coming up with content though.
-
that is. Fuck's sake- I hate this.
-
Yeah, definitely. I've been mulling the idea of my own website for a while. And the wordpress site would also be good to get an idea of how much time I would need (and could) dedicate to it.
-
It's good that you've got all that stuff. I've only got a couple of reviews I wrote for Mav's site ages ago. I'll need to come up with new content.
-
either email me or head over to the site and we can continue the discussion there. trying to bang out in the middle of an AICN TB is like trying to play chess during an orgy--you run excessive danger of sitting on a rook.
-
I'd like to hear you guys thoughts on.
-
about since I started writing the vault. I always felt bad about sending too much/ not enough. It encouraged me to pull my finger out, really, as it's been something I've wanted to do, but never been arsed to do, for a bit.
-

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It remains unwatched. Should I wait to see it before reading your review. Bear in mind that I have absolutely no idea what its about.
-
whats the url of your site?
-
if you havent seen it, unless of course you are looking for motivation to do so. Otherwise, maybe just drop on over there and post in the comments if you like. I'd love to get some convs going there too.
See TrT though. It's good stuff, especially if you like Creepshow and the like--those anthology films. -
but the Chang title of the church of chang? I wasn't around when it formed--who is that referencing? Please don't beat me with the bamboo reeds.
-
Oct 05, 2009 8:30:26 AM CDT
I think it's probably not long until...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
i stop coming to aicn quite so much. Especially if we relocate to our own website. Probably a good thing.
-
but if you wanted to write content first and then start a site(though my opinion is you should just go for it head-on) I'd be happy to post articles over at my place too for you.
Sooner you go on your own, sooner you get acclimated to it. I've been writing since May and have 250 articles--most reviews-- posted over there now. -
I wasn't around during the church of chang's inception either. I've since established that it refers to Walter Chang, the owner of the general store in Tremors. I never did find out exactly why it was named after him. I never asked. It just made sense for some strange reason.
-
Church of Chang represents Walter Chang, from Tremors
-
Re- Church of Chang: This started out of an old Talkback talking about Tremors and other, erm, lower rent films. The shop in Perfection was owned by Walter Chang.
-
Do you write mostly horror related reviews?
-
I really didn't intend for my resignation to go the way it did today. I tired to have a civil conversation, but someone else was not going for that. I reached my breaking point. Btw, anything that anyone has sent to me for MM has also been saved. I haven't tossed out any submissions I've been given.
-
Was pretty awesome. Avatar's got a lot to do if its going to top it.
-
but the AMAD is all horror this month only. Im working on reviews for Bright Star, K20, and Management as we speak...as well as an article for the symphony and a new top ten. I was just busy this week so I could only get the AMAD up there.
-
Yikes! Guess I am tired also. ;)
-
but kept seeing egg shen in my head. Unfortunately, it's been awhile since Ive seen tremors. Time for a refresher.
Anyway, I asked because Im making you a banner right now.
Will it be Temple of Chang or Changian Temple? If you do church, I gurantee you are gonna be getting some screwballs who want to know what time the service will be?
Even I get some crazy crap from time to time, and once noted that there were seven google searches for 'latex insectoid' that somehow brought them to my site. -
Management. Is that with Zahn and Aniston? You know what I'm tired of (this is a tangent rant). Fucking dramedies. All these "melancholic but quirky" Alexander Payne clones that keep coming out. Fucking Mike White's to blame too. I'm even fucking sick of the term "dramedy". It's a shit term. . . .
-
Pillows may know.
I've still got the Holy Scriptures somewhere- which were collective musings from the various threads assembled into one faux-religious tome. Some of them were priceless. -
If anyone has seen it, you have. I enjoyed it, but it's not Shaun of the Dead.
http://cinematropolis.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/amad-frequently-asked-questions-about-time-travel/ -
my wife found it on the computer once while she was searching for something, and the look she gave me suggested it might as well have a folder full of latex insectoid videos.
-
Management is more of your average romantic comedy..and while Im not an Anniston fan at all, I really like Zahn and with Fred Ward as Steve's dad and Woody Harrelson as an ex-punk dog breeder, they all made it work.

And I didn't know Fred Ward or Woody were in it. Maybe I'll check it out then.
-
and has been since 2001. Mrs Jarv gave me the "so this is what you do at work you fucking cockroach" look that she reserves when I'm being completely useless. Such as the time I walked in pissed carrying more beer with a group of mates to watch the rugby and opened with the line "Hail to the king, baby". She was not impressed at that one.
-
That should have read: The Scriptures: I had a similar experience when Mrs Jarv gave me the "so this is what you do at work you fucking cockroach" look that she reserves when I'm being completely useless. Apparently these things (Changian scriptures, quoting Army of Darkness in inappropriate circumstances) are not funny. Despite what I think. They're also juvenile and generally unappreciated. Which I think is harsh but fair.
-
Don't give up on Community just yet! Remember the golden rule, all american comedy is at its best in the second season. Wait season 1 on, then come back and see if its good.
-
Why not? We can just abuse the crazies a la GoatFuckerLives.

And, obviously, the CoC pun is always worth a giggle. I'm not sure I want people that misspell "cock" in google visiting.

neither funny nor dramatic and can fuck off. And take Costume Dramas with them.

season." Doesn't mean it will be good- Joey for example.
-
Not a fan. Too much frying pan to flaten the face look for me.
-
I didn't say it was going to be good. I said its going to be the best it will ever be. So give it one more chance then, if you don't like it then fine. But don't hate on a comedy that could be good in the first season. If you remember they almost cancelled Seinfield after the first season, but do to repeats it got more fans and picked up again.
-
Wear a helmet - with extra padding. Avoid beer. If a sexy woman in a wig who looks vaguely familiar approaches you on a dark street and says 'hiya handsome', remember what you look like and run like hell! Increase your insurance premiums - make sure that Testicular Replacement surgery, is covered. Otherwise you might have to opt for gender reassignment surgery. Last but not least - have a well stocked bunker and hunker down. It's gonna be a long winter.
-
and was, amazingly, even less funny than the first series.

But you get what I'm saying. I guess I can add that the show must go one past two seasons. Animated shows don't follow this however.

I was asking about thise movie a couple months back and couldn't find shit about it. I've got it in my queue.

Until seasons 6-8 where save for maybe 2 episodes they were classic. Its been downhill ever since.

I heard it was pretty funny.
-
I'm out because I'm through with fighting and negativity. I'm not willing to be called a traitor or a walking piece of shit anymore. Enough is enough. I'm walking away and taking my baseball bat and my beer with me. There's plenty of other playgrounds.
-
Talking about fighting and negativity, I've just flamed AsimovGoatboy in that Emmerich thread.
-
A walking piece of shit? WTF?
-
everyone is more than welcome. Changian doctrine is all inclusive. Apart from Asimov. Because I don't like him
-
So you can probably add it to your skip pile. It was silly fun, as good as Shaun of the Dead for me. Fun movie to see in theaters, lots of laughing. Kind of like The Hangover.

I am a traitor because I prefer the company of "the cult" (that's you guys). I'm a walking piece of shit because I'm not following instructions like a nice little writing puppet. Yup...sorry about going about it all this way, but I think the best bet is to go with Jonah. He's much more stable and non-volatile.

We're a "cult"? What? Me, Jonah and Droid have all contributed.

Mavra is on the loose with beer and bat! On a serious note: I am sorry that it turned so acrimonious (I rarely get to use that word). Maybe youse guys are like Sonny and Cher?
-
I really appreciate the invite to meet you and your wife and was very much looking forward to it, but my destination has become Brussels after all. I'm better off to save London for another trip, maybe in the spring, when I can have more time. No way could I see everything I wanted there in one weekend. :)

Aaaaaww... don't be like that Series.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I like Shaunof the Dead a lot, and Zombieland has the great man Woody in it, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it. The Hangover is ridiculously overrated though.
-
But without the talent (or the legs). The cult is anything to do with AIC, Twitch, CoC, or (if you want to see flames shoot out of someone's eyes) AIB.
-
You dodged a bullet with that one. Meeting Jarv only ends up one way... "It puts the lotion on it's skin..."
-
London is nicer in the Spring, anyhow.
-
I'm so offended by that. You're clearly nothing more than a colonial traitor and a walking piece of shit.
-
Was overrated, you'll probably feel the same with Zombieland. We saw The Hangover like 4 weeks after release and I thought that all the jokes may end up feeling stale because I've been seeing TV spots for the past four weeks. But me and my wife ended up really liking it and had a fun time. I think all and all Zombieland didn't have as many laughs, it was just a fun night out. Probably won't be good a second time. Hangover I think has one more viewing in it.
-
I've already been told by a couple of coworkers that I'm probably going ti end up chopped into unidentifiable pieces and parts. Aw well, I got nothing better to do.

Who on these boards fits the Gregg Allman role for Mavra?
by toadkillerdog
She has to hook up with a minor country-rock star, and have a baby with a strange name, then start massive plastic surgery and become a cougar before the term exists and become an icon to leather wearing trolls who like to dress up as goat hookers.
-

Ingrate.

Mwa ha ha

I have to admit.

outside of Doom?
-
Australian and into auto-erotic asphyxiation and willing to shag anything.
-
Being that your the self proclaimed President of the Woody fan club but you haven't seen anything he's done since the 90's (No Country Doesn't count because he was hardly in it and his role was useless). This movie will reaffirm your love for the hippie.
-
So, the becoming an icon to leather wearing trolls who love to dress up as goat hookers still applies.
-
Monsters Inc, Doom, Full Metal Jacket, Rocky 3 and The Third Man.
-
No country singers, no leather, and no no no babies of any names. I'd rather take my chances with Dr. Lecter!

You're going to Brussels. Belgians aren't that exciting.

I don't mean to say that The Hangover wasn't funny
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It had a few amusing parts, mostly to do with the fat bearded bloke, but I'd had it talked up to me for months that I expected it to be a laugh riot. It wasn't. And it has that bag of cocks Bradley Cooper in it. Now THAT guy's a walking piece of shit. Jarv, feel free to stick him in your chamber.
-
Wow! I'm touched!
-
Still cheesy as hell. Watching it on the tele didn't add anything compared to watching it on my Zune. The special effects are actually pretty good, but the movie isn't dark enough for the cool special effects.
-
He's English. He just likes Belgium.
-
Great Uncle Bulgaria is already in there. You'll have to wire him up to your "pleasure harness".
-
?????? Why?
-
Don't need the country singer or the babies, but you are stuck becoming the idol of millions of goat loving, leather and strap-on wearing trolls. Them's the breaks of super-stardom.
-
called Renaissance on Friday night. It was a weird animation thing that made me feel a bit ill, and I was quite pleased to pass out.
-
I think Droid and Series might as well!
-
Thought he was king shit after American Beauty. Now playing that bad guy is steaming turds like Ghost Rider and P2.
-
I like him. You gotta see his Nip/Tuck role, he breaks his neck trying to suck his own penis. Zach Galifianakis did make The Hangover but I thought overall everyone had their momenets. The movie works so well because the best laugh is saved for the final scene, so everyone leaves happy. Whereas most comedies fizzle out in the last 20 minutes and you just are ready to go, you don't care about them wrapping up the lame story they built good jokes around.
-
But trolls with strap-ons might be amusing. Poor goats!

The "cameo" scene was in fact the best part of the entire movie.

Also, it's like old times here for the COC. I half expect Chitty to show up -
Mike White was the BIG cameo.

I've got like 200 messages to catch up on. Definitely like old times.

I thought it random that he was going to be in the movie only as the Guy Who Got Killed While Sitting on the Shitter.

the Genesis thread was from March of 2008 but I can't remeber the exact one. I do remember that the CoC started from an discussion about who was cooler or more godly, Burt "the stache" Gummer or Fred "Gorilla Arms" Ward.
-
All due respect to twitch, but the mighty CoC made it's bone(s) by hijacking threads and perverting them to it's own demented cause. Getting our permanent home, took something away from those guerrilla days.
-
And wow that was pretty riveting, though if you hadn't been watching the show I think you'd be lost. They even made an X-Files reference, which was pretty awesome.

The hijacking of threads and redirect the topics to random ass shit is what the Coc was all about. Indy, SATC, Prince Caspian threads...THAT is what we are all about. Usually the dopier the topic, the better chance we had our way with it. Much like a red-headed stepchild.
-
I think I say this with all of his movies, but I have high hopes of dumbness for this.
-
We gotta re-capture the magic! Having outraged TB'ers pole-axed by the sudden descent of the mighty CoC on to there bucolic realm was worth the price of admission!
-
I guess it could have been Febuary or right on the border. I just recall the day the CoC was born I was still in Phoenix before going back on active duty and I was going to a spring traning game that day. So it had to be either late Feb or early March by Mid March I was in Dago.

"Jack Black and Michael Cera playing themselves, yeah, where was that even considered funny? Now I absolutely adore these actors, Michael was a great choice in Superbad and Juno and Jack Black has proved he can do great comedy like Tropic Thunder and a good dramatic role like King Kong, even a more calm character like he played in The Holiday. But the main problem? They have no chemistry! You have this wild outgoing maniac who is eating poop(eeeew!) and the calm awkward overly shy nerd who pees on himself(eeew!) and what do you have? Every elementary school joke that could be put into a movie, Year One could have been written by a five year old and proves that top list actors will do anything for those millions that they make."
-
When have you known me to get upset about shit and piss? Nothing about that movie was gross it was just fucking dumb and directed by a retard. It was full of technical errors unforgivible considering the talent behind the camera. Like why did Ramis do it? He's got nothing to prove. You know how sometimes you can see where on paper this would look funny (Still and Black with Envy) but this I don't think would have looked good on paper. All the cameoes don't even get laughs. I didn't make it to Olive Wilde's part, but Vinnie Jones came on and he looked like he was performing shakespeare compared to the crap that had been on before. Just fucking garbage. Everyone involved in that movie, including the PA's and Kraft services owe me ten bucks back, even though I saw it for free and walked out half way through. And I've never walked out of a movie before.

Entitled I LIKED YEAR ONE With the caveat:
If you didnt like it, dont even comment. Here's what I put:
This was the worse movie I've ever seen. First off I saw it for free but I still want my money back. There was no excuse for how bad this movie was, all of the people that were involved should know better. The movie cost 60 million dollars to make.......I saw maybe $10-$20 on the screen. Take a movie like Drag Me to Hell, it only cost $40 million to make, now compare the two? Where did all the money go in Year One?
For someone who has been making movie for as long as Egon has this movie was just so poorly done. There was a scene when they were walking through an open field and you could not even hear what they were saying because the wind was blowing through boom mic too loud. I don't even put up with cell phone calls when someone is standing in the wind. Why was something like that not cleaned up in post?
The movie consisted of Jack Black saying, "Hey lets do something stupid!" and Michael Cera mumbling back to him "Oh we shouldn't do that, why would you do that." I don't even know how this looked good on paper or got green lite.
I walked out of the theater about half way after finally falling asleep from being bored to tears. And I am a Jack Black fan I liked Tenacious D, but him and everyone else involved should not be allowed to make a movie for at least a year after this, as a punishment.
I thought about it afterward, thinking that there would be no way to have saved this movie. But I think if you had The guys that do Stella (Micheal Ian Black, Micheal Showlwater (those two staring) and David Wain (directing) it could have been ok. Cut the budget to 10 million and you may have even gotten a hit out of it. But as of now its a flop and will probably go on to be one of the worst movies in history.
Given the caliber of actors involved this should have been watchable, it was not. Now lets go watch Egon and the writers of this nonsense flush Ghostbusters down the drain. -
That way you'll know him when you see him. I re-watched the X From Outer Space the other day, still good fun if you are in the mood. 100% awful, you understand, but it has some great moments: the Jeep chase (shuffle shuffle shuffe HAND shuffle shuffle shuffle REACH shuffle shuffle HAND etc), the flying Meat Pie Martian Saucer, the whole goofy jetliner crashes into the monster bit, the tanks that just NEVER move, the oil-tanker being the same size as a jet-fighter, and of course, that infamous final line: The Monster taught me to LOVE-bravely. Yes it's just that good. Moments that you will also remember-guys in Newberry's issue 2 dollar 'Space Suits' bouncing up and down on just-outta-camera-view Trampolines to portray 'weightlessness' on the moon, the fat funny guy who saves the day and cures a hull breach during re-entry by planting his butt inside said hull breach-don't ask how he managed to do this-he did-and of course, that whole goofy Playboy Manse edition 'Moonbase' you see'em at. Space 1999 never had it so good. Yes! SEE IT!

insipid magazine. Fucking pointless reading it- as all it does is blow whatever big release is coming soon.
-
"In an interview with Empire, referring to the effects in the new movie, he said "We're not in fucking Harryhausen mode anymore". How someone who has so far contributed to very little other than one of the most soul-less, cynical pieces of shit of the past 10 years can comment on the work of a legend who invented and inspired pretty much all of SFX as we know it is beyond me. Particularly when the remake he's lauding is directed by the guy who made The Transporter 2, a lame attempt at a Hulk movie and... oh that's it. As I said. Twat." What a nob.
-
What is it about him that annoys you (and everyone) so much?
-
I just think he's an obnoxious prick. I have done since I saw him interviewed on The Daily Show about 6 months ago. I didn't have an opinion about him before that. He'd not really flitted across my radar as I don't give a toss about Apatow films. He'd been in some that were "meh" for me, not good enough to interest me, not bad enough to annoy me. That and the constant hand-jobs he gets from this place.
-
I don't really see him as obnoxious. Granted I didn't see that interview. The only thing I'd say is that he's overexposed, and it's because he seems to have done a lot of voice work in animated flicks and he has a very distinctive fucking voice. But it happens to most actors when they get famous. They appear in a lot of shit right away. That said, I doubt he'll be a movie star in 10 years. Probably back to tv and supporting roles.
-
Morning and that.
-
That guy just makes me laugh, that's all. That's enough for me.People do seem to hate him, though. I don't get it.
-
Totally agree with droid about that one - not a good film, but not as bad as the internet types said it was.It needed more Ryan Reynolds, and not just as a weird mouthless super-powered guy with laser eyes and swords up his arms.
-
The thing is no one EVER says "I'm not really a fan of Seth Rogen". It's always "I fucking hate that fat cunt and I hope he dies a horrible death" or something along those lines. It's weird the fervor he seems to generate.

Which I liked. Like Jonah said, it's pretty ridiculous, but I enjoyed watching it. It was like Die Hard With A Vengeance if it was directed by Tony Scott with a hangover.The film would have been better if it was as goofy as The Marine, but never mind. Not all films can be as goofy as The Marine. It is just not possible.I like this John Cena, but I don't really know why.
-
...on Entourage of making fun of Seth Rogen for being 'ugly'. That seemed particularly mean-spirited.You're right, droid, he inspires a level of bile in people that I don't understand at all. He's just an actor in comedy films, that's all. It's fine if he's not some people's cup of tea, but what's with the HATE? He didn't, as far I know, rape any babies or anything. I don't get it.
-
...Can I play?The whole epic review thing was fun and I'd like to write some more (I got derailed by that epic Batman review which made me realise there isn't much of interest to say about Batman).If Mavra isn't part of MyMavra anymore, I don't much want to submit anything else to that site. Mavra's alright.
-
All contributors are welcome. Especially your epic reviews. All we have to do now is get off our asses and do it.

Rogen was on one of the new simpsons
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
and there was a Turtle from Entourage reference, so maybe its some sort of in-joke.
-
I may have another bash at the Batman review because I hate to give up on it. Trouble is, Batman is fucking boring. I never realised how dull Batman was until I tried to write about him.If that doesn't work out, I reckon I'll do the Lethal Weapon series.
-
soon as me and droid get off our asses and actually do it. Which will be once I finish the work one that I'm meant to be doing but am not because I'm mooching instead.
-
he is overexposed. Not especially funny, but everyone finds different things amusing. The level of hate is excessive, but it always is here.
-
Trying to download good telly to watch without a file sharing application (stictly forbidden at work) is too fucking hard.I need to see episode 2 of Dexter, damnit. Where is my John Lithgow ass???
-
A fucking shame. That's the only way to describe it. I feel awful about it, because I've got the impression that Mavra's personal site has basically been hijacked and I feel partially responsible- when I was basically doing it for a laugh. A real fucking shame.
-

And I've got to get off my ass and write reviews
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I need content!
-
Got to go.Cheers, guys.
-
Me too.
-
Haven't heard about you guys posting your Oporto Goat Porn fiction there of late.
-
The Donor redid it. But I daren't open it here as the homepage has "Dedicated to professionals and professionalism. And fisting cunts" on it.
-
talking about the Zorro, the Iberian goat shagger, he's been fucking quite since he got mauled in that TF Tb.
-
Assholelives thinks it is brilliant.
-
Well, that is grounds for re-evaluation... but I'll stay true to my word.
-
Seeing as how the cunt raved about Lifeforce. I just had to come to the conclusion that he liked it for entirely "wrong" reasons, and therefore could be ignored. I don't think you can do that with Hulk
-
His opinion ain't worth jack.
-
What's nice about the fox movie channel is that they play stuff uncut during the night. At least, I think it's only the night. Quite refreshing.
-
it just gave me pause for thought.
-
A fucking moron who doesn't know shit.And Lee's Hulk is still shit. So it makes all the sense in the world that memories likes it.
-
In fact, Danny and I are getting ready to do another live chat--ironically, the very thing that caused the fractures over at Mav's site in the first place--but we are trying to weed out the crap to find a horror movie worth watching.
It's my fault really, I've reviewed all the good and it's left us with this:
also, that line you mentioned Jarv isn't on the main page anymore...and you are safe if you just go to the link I have below. I promise. The other pages, I promise nothing though.
http://aintitbalenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=473:what-should-dickblood-echo-live-chat-next&catid=7:latest-news&Itemid=2 -
is it going to be solely for movie reviews or whatever you want? Will it be pure schlock, or more like a repository for goofy genre stuff? Or just a free for all. Basically, tell me the categories and I'll put them in there for you. I'm hoping to have a site for you guys by the end of today.
-
you can just be posting stuff. And I'm offering up my old 30 days of horror Mav artices to you...to help fill out the site. I'm re-editing them down now.
Who will get access? -
Put me and Jarv down as admin. Do you need anything from me?
-
ultimately, I'll show you guys how to modify stuff and what not..and it's all yours. I've got my hands full with Cinematropolis, but I don't mind setting it up.
-
Thanks for your help.
-
Jeff Goldbulm in germen.....odd.
-
Hey guys, I know I've mentioned this before but am coming down to the last few days of the blog contest and was trying to drum up a few more votes. I think alot of the sites have slacked off, so if I could stir up a strong effort towards the end I think I could jump from 2nd place to 1st.
Thanks for everyone who has voted so far, and for those who have been voting daily--Xi, among others. Here's the link:
http://data.baltimoresun.com/mobbies/?vote_for=318#318
I'm nominated in 2 categories--pop culture and misfits--and I can also be nominated for overall best blog. The site tracks votes via email addresses and registration, not IP addresses. And you can vote fresh every day.
-
is a great movie...but weirder than the german is goldblum being Malkovich's dog...no, I don't mean that in some metaphorical or kinky way..I mean malkovich makes goldblum act like a real dog...like his pet...really odd.
-
What the fuck? You mean Defoe?
-
Do you have to register?
-
Last night. Involving the movie Fred Clause and its director. I've never seen Fred Clause.
-
in the same category, even though I know that Dafoe is far more odd...
-
I checked. Malcovitch is not in it. I was all excited like he had a cameo or something, would have made its the showcase of the ultimate creepy guy actors. Anyone else see The Great Buck Howard? I really liked that movie.
-
That other girl from Devil Wears Prada, who makes it ok that Anne Hathaway has gone all Wallace & Gromit in her looks. While Emily Blunt looks like how I imagine most people think Zooey Deschanel looks like, but hotter. And doesn't come off as a huge bitch. Plus she's in the Upcoming Wolfman, who her added with Hopkins could just save that movie.
-
Just saw her in Young Victoria. That reminds me, I have to add her horror film Wind Chill to my AMAD list. In fact, I need to do some writing...gotta lot stuff to put up.
-
did you see the newest horror movies I did over at Cinematropolis...a few in there I think you might like. I'm writing Sauna right now.
-
Now they are saying, OHHHHHHHH if we get 1,000,000 demands we'll release it nationwide! They are acting like this is SOME new way of releasing a film. If you look at its release schedule it pretty much plays out like every other slow release film before it. The only difference is that the showings have been at midnight. Otherwise it hasn't done anything else cool.
-
I tried to vote for your site, and it wouldn't let me join?
-
one of the better malkovich roles in recent memory. I was starting to think he was selling out ala Ben Kingsley who continues his downward spiral--as if making out with an olsen twin and starring in a Uwe Boll film weren't already at the very bottom.
-
and then send you a confirmation email.
-
I was gonna put it up on the site for Baltimore but I felt like a putz....this thing has successfully built an internet phenom, so it's gonna get released. It would be insane not to now. But doing it this way ensures that audiences are still primed or it when it reaches them. I still call shenanigans though.
-
I thought was ok, the scene with him and Heath Ledger's murderer was stupid. I liked the main kid though, I could releate to being nither a nerd nor cool.
-
It got pimped all over the place with "kewlest film ever" quotes here. No thanks.
-
Series, you can drop in faux slander like nobody's business...
I'm still worried someones going to take your sam rockwell paedophile accusations seriously. -
do you want the site to look like a normal review site, ala Cinematropolis, or have a mock chuch-site look....with links like "Acolytes','Tribute', 'Services', 'Confession', etc?
-
I think will be fun. I hope its scary. The Collector was as good as they said so I hope this one can be as well. Remember one of the 10 Commandments: Horror movies are best when there is no budget.
-

I put this on another thread but I don't feel like its getting t
by series7
Roman Polanski Its ok, Jason Reitman's next movie is about a pedophile who really likes the teenage girl across the street but is too shy to work up the nerve to say something, plus his medling mother thinks he should worry more about getting a job rather then a 13 year old girl. Yeah sure he's raped her in the past but he really wants to make it work this time.

I have The Condemned to watch tonight, continuing the WWE theme I started yesterday with 12 Rounds.This one doesn't have John Cena in it, though. It has Stone Cold Steve Austin instead, who I used to like as a wrestler until I found out he was a wife-beater. Fuck wife-beaters.Anyone seen it and able to offer a mint or wank opinion? I'm hoping it's at least some good clean goofy action fun.
-
they all rock pretty hard and they weren't really low budget flicks...same goes for The Exorcist.
I think in this day and age though when studios are spineless, your statement tends to be more true than not. -
Echo? Anyone heard of this? Echo you seen Eden Log? I think it looks pretty awesome I don't know why I haven't watched it. I get jealous of you guys who can prioitize your free time and watch good movies rather then crappy tv (and good tv like Modern Family and The American Office and Family Guy and Sons of Anarachy) unlike me.

I'm thinking of rewriting the 3 epic reviews I've done
by franklin t marmoset
Rocky, Rambo and Die Hard. Spruce them up a bit so they can be used on whatever this new site is going to be.Hopefully, that should get me in the mood to write a few new ones. If the Batman one doesn't work out, I'm doing either Lethal Weapon or a colossal Aliens/Predators/ALiens Vs Predators mega-epic.
-
Magnum Opus (this term is getting used to much these days). But its fucking awesome. Suffers too much from being released before Rambo, in a time where The Boring movies can win 3 Oscars for its shit poop editing style, and the world had its head shoved so far up its ass about that being cool that it took a man like Rambo to show them how action should be editied. Other then that its awesome.
-
That's an oxymoron isn't it? hehe
-
It's basically the same schtick as No Escape or Fortress but maybe actually more entertaining because it knows how dumb it is...although I will always cherish that scene in Fortress where Kurtwood Smith warns the all-powerful A.I. that when Chris Lambert and gang are done with it "you'll be lucky if you're a Speak & Spell!"
-
Haven't seen that in years and years.
-
I've seen both. Eden Lake, you might like, but it's more of the killer kid stuff I'm getting tired of. I liked Ils, and I liked The Children, but enough already.
Eden Log on the other hand is a cool little sci-fi thriller. It ends upbeing the kind of movie Pandorum promised. I don't think its amazing, but it's worth seeing. -
and yet I still remember that line...
-
Oct 06, 2009 11:00:39 AM CDT
That's a good memory you have there
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Right. I'm outta here. Take it easy fellas.
-
Thanks, guys.I should watch it with a few beers in the proper Stone Cold style, but in addition to giving up smoking I have also given up drinking. Does that make me Straight Edge? I think I'm one of those Straight Edge types now, but not deliberately.
-
In his 30s who's still thinks his got a good amount of time before he thinks of being married.
-
You seen that movie Echo? Fortress was awesome.
-
Is still good without beer.
-
To begin with anyway.
-
MEH. Chav-Horror.
-
and yet Fortress 2 was a bucket of shit. Minus the bucket.
-
That's funny, Jarv. I may have to get into that genre.I saw Donkey Punch a week or so ago. Does that count as Chav-Horror? There were chavs in it, and also some horrification and whatnot.Are there any other good Chav-Horror films you would recommend?
-
and they tend to suck. Sort of Urban Straw Dogs is the best comparison.
-
...the first big Hollywood Chav-Horror remake. Americans have trouble understanding English accents, so a remake is inevitable.Directed by 'some pop video guy' and starring 'some girl off the telly'. Ity should be good.

My download of the Mayweather Marquez fight is done
by franklin t marmoset
That means it's time to go home and watch it, and then watch The Condemned with no beer.I should probably get one of those 'life' things people talk about.Cheers, all.
-
Paranormal Activity, Where the Wild Things Are, Trick R Treat..... 2009 has been a great year for movies I saw in 2007.
-
it's a sort of Chav meets inbred horror.
-
movie-style...and then figured I'd ask, since I was designing it for you guys.
-
it just came out
-
Was a bad fight. It is the perfect example of what is wrong with boxing nowadays - very few really good matchups.
Mayweather is bigger, faster AND has the reach advantage over Marquez. First 30 seconds you knew that Marquez never even had a shot (of course, you knew that even before the fight began). -
it was more or less a foregone concluson even before it started.
I think one of the reasons is that you have fewer really well-matched guys to play off one another. -
Dudette, what happened?
-
News to me.
-
Trick R Treat finally got released today. The Blu-Ray set got a shitload of extras including deleted scenes, documentaries, and commentaries. The regular DVD has nothing. Dear Warner Bros., FUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOU.
-
Have I missed much?
-
Other than that, I'm okay.
-
Wouldn't happen to have anything to do with (lowers voice) Warner Bros?
-
then I talk myself out of it.Maybe at Christmas...
-
Have you seen his latest movie? The Lonely, ravaged Goat Herd. Yes.
-
I hate Warner Bros for so many reasons, and today I was given one more.
-
The others are putting a site together out of the ashes of Mavra. You want to write some stuff up over there? I hope to have it active by thursday.
Meanwhile, here's my site, Cinematropolis. Doing a horror series you might find interesting.
http://cinematropolis.wordpress.com/ -
It's going - that's about it.Good to see you on here again! You okay? I haven't been on much so I don't know what's happening, here or at MyMavra.New site sounds interesting. Yeh, I'm in. Just need to get me lazy head in gear and write something.Gotta go to work now. Cheers.
-
I watched The Departed, and to be honest, it isn't fit to fluff Infernal Affairs.
-
Seeing as I'm relaunching.
-
is that we all piss away time on here, and max the Twitch when there's fuck all actual news.

The great revealer young Series
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
"I think Modern Family is lost on a man in his 30s who's still thinks his got a good amount of time before he thinks of being married." Nope. Modern Family is lost on a bloke who finds it lame and unrewarding. You're either 1. Very naive 2. Have a morbid fear of ending up alone 3. Completely fucking brainwashed into believing you must fulfill the holy bastion of conventional society for your life to be meaningful. All of the above maybe? If you think that the clocks ticking for someone "in their 30's". Especially a male. Sorry, mate. But that's probably the most retarded thing I've heard anyone say in a long time. I have no objection to marriage, and do not judge others on if they are married or not. I find it pretty moronic for you to say that I wouldn't get a tv show because my view of marriage is different and probably not as sacred or important for my self-esteem as you. But i am happy for you that you've found someone to spend the rest of your life with at such a young age. Kudos to that, young man.
-
The Informers. It was shit. And I usually like Bret Easton Ellis. But I remember trying to read the book and getting about halfway and just flatly giving up. The movie is just as shit.
-
The season finale with Matt Damon playing himself. It was truly baffling. It had him hounding Vince for a donation to his charity, and him being a massive cock about it. Then after the credits theres a scene with Damon screaming into the phone at Vince because he hasn't recieved the cheque yet. The it cuts to another phone call and he's apologising. Then it cuts again and he's crying hysterically. Like i said, truly bizzare. And not in a good way. He's obviously taking the piss out of himself, but you just sit there confused.
-
The new episode with the Seinfeld cast. It was very funny and also great to see them together again. Also, for the Matt Damon and the Entourage people, THIS is how you take the piss out of yourself and be funny about it.
-
I watched the 3rd ep of this and I might give up on it. I like Schwartzmann but it's a bit dull this show.
-
there's marriage and then there's marriage. Mrs. Jarv is probably my best friend and the person I'd choose to spend time with more often than not. We tend to like the same things (apart from her inexplicable attachments to reality tv (Fuck you X-Factor) and Kate Hudson films), have the same friends, and just get on. I know loads of people that bitch about their marriage/ relationship being so hard and it honestly isn't like that for us. HOWEVER- and this is important- we didn't get married because we'd been together for a certain amount of time and it was deemed necessary, and we're both quite independent. People I know that tend to have miserable relationships also tend to have a morbid fear of being alone and if they do get married then it's a guaranteed divorce. Also, weirdly, they're the ones that always ask to get set up and most of the time are women in their early 30's. I'm not sure what the point was, but I think it's that I was mildly disgruntled at that 3 point list above.
-
see Jay and Silent Bob strike back for example.
-
Lovefilm have finally received the disc we sent back 2 fucking weeks ago. Maybe we'll get a new one by the weekend. I'll forgive them if it's yo-yo cop girlFucking Postal Strike.
-
at the moment. Which means that I have had endless hours of Masterchef and Hell's Kitchen inflicted on me recently. I keep pointing out that you can watch something else for the first half of Hell's Kitchen because the only reason to watch it is to see Ramsey being a cunt in the second half, but she won't have that. I'm amazed he hasn't been slapped.
-
That's not my opinion on marriage in general (as I said). It's my opinion of someone who would make a comment such as that which Series made. "I have no objection to marriage, and do not judge others on if they are married or not." THAT is my official stance on marriage. My official stance on moronic comments like the one Series made is the 3 point list.

X Factor comes with the territory
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
You want female companionship, you watch X Factor. It's really that simple.
-
I think I'm touchy about it as almost everyone I work with is in their early 30's and I constantly get whinging questions like "you were really young when you got married, how come you're still together". It's very hard to bite your tongue when the obvious answer is "because neither of us are fuckheads with weird and unrealistic standards in a relationship. Marriage is not all sunshine and fucking lollipops, you know"
-
you have a telly in the bedroom and banish her in there to watch it while you watch whatever schlock rubbish on the good telly.

Being young doesn't change much
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I think if it's going to work then it will work. My mate got married at 23. I was a groomsman and all through the ceremony all I was thinking was "There is no fucking way this is going to last." And that's purely because I know him and he was a pretty big fuck up. A heart of gold but completely fucking clueless. They've been married 8 years and are expecting their 2nd child. And good on them both for proving me wrong. I also don't know where I was going with that. Maybe it's just a comment on the young marriage and an honest skepticism towards it. Like I said, very happy to be proven wrong.
-
Not bad, but too much shaky-cam for my taste. I am planning a really big party for the day that fad dies out.Also, did anyone else think that Vinnie Jones was in that film more than Steve Austin? I prefer that John Cena to Steve Austin.
-
Aside from cricket, which she hates, so I have to go to listen to it in the bedroom.
-
Yep.
-
Complete cunt. Role he was born to play was in MMT- 1000 yard stare and being mute was spot on for that. Aside from that, I tend to think he sucks.
-
...about the Mayweather Marquez fight, but then that's true of any Mayweather fight. He's just that good - none of his fights are competative. Even after a two year layoff he can come back, fight a reasonably good quality fighter like Marquez over 12 rounds and still make it look easy.I feel bad for anyone who fights Mayweather. That must be a very frustrating evening's work.

I've already established that when me and the missus get a place together there will be a dedicated Droids Room for all my toys and such.
-
Did it pretty well, I thought. Cunts are definitely his strong suit.
-
Oct 07, 2009 4:34:37 AM CDT
Has he ever played anything but a cunt?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Even his "nice guys" are cunts, like in gone in 60 seconds.
-
shall we talk about tits and ass for the rest of the day?
-
The Informers is full of it. One chick in particular who played Rogens girlfriend in Pineapple Express get naked... a lot. It's the sole reason I kept watching.
-
Which is a film I like even though no one else seems to.Speaking of Matt Damon, Euro Trip has a very funny Matt Damon appearance in it, mostly because you're wondering why the fuck he's in that film.
-
Personally, I think the idea of forcing people to conform to the social norms of relationships is ridiculous. That everyone MUST get married or else they are somehow defective is just bs. That is just as absurd as saying "people who get married are losers who are afraid of not being able to get any." Both statements are obviously false.
I believe in some of the tenants of evolutionary psychology, including the one about everyone has their own tactics and system for mating. Just like how some people might be gay, bi-sexual, slightly sexual or horny as a mountain goat, other people just might not be interested in the idea of a life long (or even week long) commitments. That isn't always a fear of commitment - it is sometimes being honest that isn't what you are looking for.
Me, I am polyamorous - sometimes it works for me, and sometimes it doesn't. Women are either willing to accept the idea or not (and surprisingly, it is usually women who can understand it and not men - men always assume it is a scam of some sort and don't believe me when I say that I tell women I meet right off that is what I am looking for). I am not against the idea of a monogamous relationship, or even marriage, but it isn't something I feel I have to actively pursue. If it happens it happens. Plus, I have seen how many of my married friends are miserable, so I would rather error on the side of caution and not just jump into the whole "only one person" thing and be with someone I don't like. -
provided all he has to do is look menacing, hit people and above all else NOT talk, then he's OK.
-
JOHN LITHGOW ASS!Still can't find episode 2 of Dexter anywhere. My world feels askew without John Lithgow's ass in it.
-
But as Eddie Muller pointed out, it is a little unfair considering Mayweather isn't in his prime. Things might be a little different then.
And yes, Series, people still box. Only in the US has the sport declined - Eastern Europe (fucking Ruskies and ex-Soviets dominate heavyweight divisions), Mexico, Philippines, and other parts of the world it is still very popular.
And with MMA taking off, I actually think it will increase the popularity of it here back in the states. It will no longer be just a hispanic and black sport as it has become here in the states, but will start attracting other ethnic groups. -
Only AsimovLives can be described as that, Conti.
-
I wholeheartedly admit to changing that for comedic effect.
-
I don't mean he isn't f'ing good. He is still great. I am just saying he was better just a couple of years ago. Manny Pacquaio fighting him about 4 years ago and it would be hard to bet against Mayweather. But right now, Pac-Man is just a machine.

So... Adrian Brody is the star of Predators?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And Topher Grace "in talks". Not exactly Arnie and Weathers. It ain't Glover and The Busey either.
-
it just sort of happened. It wasn't planned or anything. And we'd known each other for fucking years. Even when we were with other people we found we were spending more time with each other.
-
That's not unusual for siblings. hehe
-
Adrien Brody in Predator. Which cunt thought that was a good idea.
-
Mrs. Jarv is Latina/ American. I am a Celtic scumbag. Ain't no inbreeding here.
-
Has Robert/Bob Orci always credited himself as Roberto Orci? I saw it in the Dork Trek credits and I don't remember it being Roberto before. Why the change now? Has he come out of the closet as officially a mexican? (Or wherever he is from in south america)
-
It's shaping to be strange cast all around for that new Predator business.It's got Danny Trejo, so that's good. Also, Cletus Van Damme out of The Shield. I like that guy. He has spectacular teeth.
-
which is actually (and not many people know this) Aztec for "talentless cunt that must have sucked Lucifer's sulphurous cock for the unearned success he has"
-
fucksticks.
-
Brody and Topher Grace (really? What the fuck?)= bad to abysmal.
-
Party conferences. Seriously, who gives a fuck?
-
originally. He should be given an Alien film (and none of this flight of the nob-jockey nonsense). Alien 5, set in the shattered ruins of Earth post-Auriga crashing, Ripley killed early, directed by Marshall. Make it so, Fox.
-
There's gotta be. We have heard that they like movies w/ Predators in them.
-
Oct 07, 2009 5:56:59 AM CDT
This Predators cast are looking like...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
"a bunch of slack jawed faggots." Where's the "sexual tyrannosaurus" in the mix?
-
You know this to be true.
-
That's just funny. That ginger bint in That 70's Show is more of a T-rex than him. Cast The Rock. It's all you can do to save the film by making it hilariously awful.
-
The genius of the first two Alien movies is that they took an established genre and placed it in space. ALIEN was a classic thriller, the story of the everyman (and woman) suddenly thrust into a scenario against a dangerous antagonist who only wants to destroy them. It even had the classic Thriller element of the authorities being useless and that all institutions couldn't be trusted (in NORTH BY NORTHWEST, Cary Grant is framed so the police become his enemy; in ALIEN the company is more than willing to sell them out) and that it even had a "betrayal" (NXNW again, had Cary Grant betrayed by the woman he was attracted to, Eva Marie Saint; ALIEN had the ship's doctor turn out to be a psychotic company android). It also took elements from the "scary old house" genre of the 30s such as CAT & THE CANARY and the THE BAT, and put it in space.
ALIENS was Action-Movie and a SCI-FI monster movie, ala THEM! or TARANTULA, where the only hope against the giant monsters is the military. It had the aloof scientist played by Bishop, who people don't trust (because you can never trust a scientist) and Ripley was the token female character, ala Margaret Sheridan from THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, but with the novel twist that she was more competent than the men (and the female Marines).
But ALIEN³ and ALIEN: RESURRECTION were just bad variations of the first movie - no new genre twist thrown in. Which is why I think they should go the Disaster/Apocalypse film set in the future/space for the next film. Aliens are over-running a satellite city or colony (or even earth), so it is the Alien universe version of DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS, DAWN OF THE DEAD, THE STAND (the Alien's are kind of like a virus) and other Apocalyptic fiction. It is the tale of humanity trying to survive.
At least that is what I would try and do... -
I've had a grand total of 5 hours sleep over the last two nights(zero last night). I've got the man-flu and these drugs I'm taking just fuck me up. I've nearly nodded off stading up on the tube this morning, at my desk and on the shitter. I need about 16 hours sleep.
-
That's why I think they should set it on Earth after the Auriga crash. Survival Horror in a ruined cyberpunk wasteland. With Aliens.
-
you lazy convict git.

"Survival Horror in a ruined cyberpunk wasteland. With Aliens."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And lots of Mr and Mrs Dead People. Don't forget about them, Jarv.
-
I zoned out there when I was writing. I thought I had typed "I agree with Jarv".
Only thing I disagree is having Ripley in it. I think you have here as a supporting character -the leader of a group/camp of survivors, a kind of John Connor of the Alien world. Because, really, who would you want to go find to help you survive an Apocalyptic World plagued by Xenomorphs more than Ripley? That would be my characters quest - find were Ripley is broadcasting so you can survive. -
just catching myself nodding off. I just did it then and jolted awake mashing the keyboard to make typing sounds.
-
The bad news: I did not catch it from beginning to end.A totally bizarre flick that liked to show a werewolve threesome. It also had Christopher Lee in it. I also read that another working title for the film was Howling II: Werewolf Bitch. She did have nice tits though.
-
More spelling and grammar errors that usual.
On that note I am going to bed. -

I hate you Conti! Bastard.
-
Other than the Sybil Danning lesbo scene (until she started transforming) and the great end credit sequence (she keeps ripping off her shirt - genius).
But needing fucking Titanium to kill werewolves - Silver only slows them down? Fucking D-U-M-B. -
My insomnia and busy schedule of working for no or little money is killing me of late. So, no reason to be jealous here.
-
That's got to count for something in the "plus" side of the movie.
-
In fact, a midget who was turned into...something...was in fact thrown through a window after he tried to stab Christopher Lee.
-
Normally he is just a midget. But when the moon is full, he turns into a dwarf.
And on THAT note, I am really going to bed. Maybe post tomorrow. -
nasty werewolf sex. My personal comedy favourite is the one with the purple vampire in it. It's either 4 or 5, I can't remember which and is catastrophically awful.
-
I would like them to either move on from her, or use her as a quest goal or, and this is my favourite option, ace her in the first half an hour. If Ripley can die then that puts all the characters in danger. Which is how it should be in survival horror. Ignore the fanboy wailing and just do it

Never seen any of the Howling flicks
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I do have a littly ditty at home called Silver Bullet starring The Busey that I haven't seen before.
-
Looked more like the zombie midgets from Hard Rock Zombies.
-
on full moon actually loses all hair and you can make out her fearsome visage clearly.
-
Last year this time, they had some horror sale at best buy and I bought several movies for 4 dollars. Among them were much better stuff like Fright Night, Phantasm, Jack Brooks...and then for the hey of it--The Howling.
And, y'know, it sort of sucks too. Howling II--my parents rented it for us when I was in middle school. Im not sure what they thought it was. I know when they walked in to see Sybil Danning ripping her shirt off on repeat for like seven times they were staggered. I think we were relegated to G rated movies after that.
Howling III: marsupials is prob 'best' because it's so ridiculous. Jarv, if you haven't seen it you should write it up. In fact, you should do ALL Howling movies. Anyway, this one has marsupial werewolves and was the first to do the nilbog gag by having a town called FlOW. Which, is lets face it, funnier than nilbog because a town in the australian outback called Flow makes a certain kind of sense.
Howling IV--wretched. It was the 80s and someone decided that the most reasonable way for a man to turn into a werewolf was to melt down completely and then reconstitute as the wolf? Wha???
Howling V--I remember this being ok. It's like Clue meets werewolves, minus anything funny or interesting. An Agatha Christie murder mystery thingee, except someone is the wolf. It's probably most sensible, but also kind of boring. You see the wolf, like twice, I think.
Howling 6: The Freaks. Watchable, which seems to be the hallowed pedastool that Howling films aspire to. It's still dumb though, and pretty low-budget. Big idea here was vampire vs. werewolves. At least they were no sunlight bullets.
Howling:New Moon Rising--literaly,it was just clips from Howling's V and IV edited in with one of those Country Line Dancing instructional videos. At least thats what it felt like. When there is more line dancing than werewolf, look out! -
it was Howling 6 I was thinking of. Purple Plastic Vampire is HILARIOUS!
-
cheesy, ridiculous plot holes, and what not but consider the value:
Eye patch priest.
rocket-powered wheelchair.
Busey as the only uncle in the world, who once he realizes his nephew is being terrorized by a werewolf, goes and finds a silversmith to make him a bullet and then they use the kid as bait. -
has John Steed in it, and makes attempts at being classy- also an interesting idea about a werewolf commune. Throws it all out the window for nasty werewolf sex and a ludicrous ending. Howling 2, I've not seen but sounds like more of the same Howling 3, not seen, but now I really want to. Howling 4- ditto Howling 5 is OK Howling 6 is hilarious Howling: New Moon Rising is something I'm trying to pretend doesn't exist. Fucking load of crap that I wish I hadn't seen.
-
It is awful, but in it's awfulness it's actually sort of alright. Like I had a good time watching it. The Freaks were what made it so amusing, like the he-she character and the reptile boy and what not. Stupid stupid stuff.
-
OK. Not great. Better than Cursed and that shit with Jason mewes in it, not as good as Ginger Snaps or Dog Soldiers.
-
Slim Pickens...huh??
-
Completely agree. That's the thing, I *know* it's a bad film, I know it's inept, but fuck me sideways if it isn't hilarious.
-
over-the-top than those. Ginger and Dog Soldiers are 'good' movies. I guess I shuld clarify, SB is good in the sense it's really a comedy, whether intentionally or accidentally, with no real horror at all.
For instance one scene shows a mob of angry parents march into the mist and one guy is carrying some club/bat/something that has a snarky name written on it--like Enforcer or something. One by one people are pulled down into the mist and you hear screaming. Guy with club goes down and you see his hand come up, complete with wachking sounds, as he brings the club down. Then you hear screaming and next time club comes up a big hairy wolf hand is holding it to bludgeon it's owner with.
-
whatshername meeting the werewolf in a fucking porno theatre. That no bugger realises that they're in a werewolf commune.

Eberts opening paragraph on Silver Bullet
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
"Stephen King's "Silver Bullet" is either the worst movie ever made from a Stephen King story, or the funniest. It is either simply bad, or it is an inspired parody of his whole formula, in which quiet American towns are invaded by unspeakable horrors. It's a close call, but I think the movie is intentionally funny. And because I laughed longer and louder during this film than during any other comedy I've seen since "Broadway Danny Rose," I am going way out on a shaky limb and actually giving the movie a three-star rating, which means I even think you might enjoy it, too."
-
Don't get me wrong. I just think Dogs and Ginger are the pinnacle of recent Werewolf movies.
-
I've had a thought--and feel free to nix it--but perhaps the site's title should be different than Church of Chang, and maybe that's one of the sections or categories that exist within it--dedicated to all the excellent schlock 80s heroes?
Maybe a name for the website that would suggest it's a movie place? Even The Schlock Vault works. Thoughts? -
He's a twat when it comes to Horror films. Especially low rent ones. Which is mildly amusing since he wrote beyond the valley of the dolls. Which is Porn.
-
I think it's a purposeful comedy, personally. The werewolves ripping up the church and you pan over to a werewolf jamming out on an organ. I feel like Warren Zevon should have been singing right there in the middle.
-
Hmmm. I need to think on this one. Prehaps we should do a blog-talkback type free for all page and call that Church of Chang. What do you think, Droid.
-
I am planning that on the website I eventually create. But I think right now we just need something up and running so we can get off our butts. And The Schlock Vault is all Jarv's creation. That should be his subsection.
-
has a wolf scene in it. Pretty good too.
-
He's a pretty brilliant writer of reviews, even if I don't always agree.
-
easier to transfer it later, and since I'm fashioning a banner I figured why just make a placeholder.
Werewolves on the Moon it is then...done and done. -
ANOTHER thing I need to get off my ass and write. I've still got all the notes taken from our discussions and started writing the first scene. Also started trying to figure out how to get Buzz Armstrong and the AstroLesbo's on the moon.
-
because on one hand it can be very leve-headed with them--he was afterall one of the few critics at the time to praise Evil Dead II and then later Bubba Hotep, but then he didn't like Army of Darkness. Again, appreciates Tremors, Gremlins, even Critters, but doesn't like The Thing or American Werewolf...odd.
-
dump me a subsection and I'm all good. This also gives me a belting chance to edit and rewrite some of the old reviews.
-
Eastwood, Altman, Tommy Lee Jones to name but three. He also can seem to review on pedigree as well. Carpenter made a couple of flicks he liked before The Thing. And he found The Thing sub-par compared to the previous efforts, which influenced his opinion. I also don't think he reviews most of the horror releases. Especially the remakes and sequels. I think he did Saw, but none of the sequels for example.
-
use the site to take ideas.
-
Does review those horror movies because a lot of them don't get advance screenings for critics, so he doesn't see them.
-
Doesn't*
-
Pretty fucking sweet. Its like the greatest 80 fantasy movie ever made. A lot of gilliam influence, its a fun time. Though some of the editing wasn't as nice as your like (a lot of almost quick cut style of action shots) but a lot of fun. Like if it came out in 82 no one would ever know the name Krull.
-
Oct 07, 2009 8:40:53 AM CDT
The other idea I had for the website
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Was a subsection for submitting scripts, or stories, whatever and giving each other feedback about them. What works, what doesn't. I thought something like that could be quite useful.
-
I didn't actually like Bubba Ho Tep very much.
-
!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOA WHOA WHOA! Hold the phone! Droid I totally agree with about that show (minus the Shawrtzman love) but the first episode was just boring as shit. Fucking you don't want a show to be called Bored to Death then end up succumbing to its own title.
-
fucking stupid cunt in that Predator TB. How rude.
-
Not a huge fan either.
-
Has substantial comic potential. Schwartzmann, the fat bearded bloke from The Hangover and the Ted "Cheers" Danson. But it's such an odd show. It never seems like it's trying to be funny. It's happy to be kinda odd. And I ain't got time for kinda odd.
-
I liked it. Didn't love it. It was fun.
-
He fucking loves himself too. He's like a less retarded version of AssholeLives.
-
And makes me wonder if you even saw Modern Family? Its a show that plays on the fears and jokes of having kids. I'm mainly talking about the one dad character who tries way to hard to be cool. See your in your 30's not to worried about getting married, so your probably not to concerned about having kids. Me I want a kid and I always think about what kind of dad I'll end up being. Just saying that sort of humor would be lost on you.
-
Your just always up on your high horse with the view that yours and yours alone opinion is the only opion that should matter and that your mind is void of the ability to ever be changed. You always got this cocky stance that your unwilling to accept other views even when presented in a decent matter. Just that "Nope I'm right", which brings me back to my Asimov comparison that you totally didn't get. So then you tried to turn it on me because you missed the sacarism in what I was saying.
-
Is this the next big British show for Americans to latch on to? Because I saw it was in my Netfliks queue and been there for awhile.
-
They have a new Marvel series about Models and Tim Gunn was in a recent Iron Man?
-
Tim Gunn is the star of Models Inc, because he's been a fan of comics for life and his favorite....Batman.
-
Admits Whipe It is shit.
-
Not Quite Hollywood documentary. Maybe seeing that movie will help me understand where Droid lost his way.
-
we had a place like for scripts nd the like...it was called Zhura..and it worked well but it fell off...
the problem with submitting them to an open place like a website if anyone can rip them off.... -
I'm more than willing to listen to someones opinion and I don't (or very rarely... I try not to) tell people that they are wrong in whatever there opinion is. Yeah, I give people shit about liking this or that. But that's the way it works. I cop my fair share. Jarv and I disagree all the time. But that doesn't mean I think his taste stinks. It's just not my particular taste. Sometimes I'm baffled by his taste. Same with you. At no stage did I say "Series, you're wrong for liking Modern Family". I did say that I thought the show wasn't funny. You took that as me having a go at you personally. What you have to remember is that, ultimately, I don't care that you like something or not. Go for it. Enjoy it. I'll find something else to watch. Now, getting round to the point. Your comment that I wouldn't "get" the show because I'm not married or having kids is absolute rubbish. Funny is funny no matter where you come from or what your situation is. I'll use Married With Children as an example. A large portion of those jokes were simple straightforward gags. But there were plenty of jokes about married life, and the relations between a husband and wife (albeit in a ridiculous way) that were hilarious to me. And I'm not talking about in my 20's or 30's. I'm talking about in my early teens when I didn't know jack shit about what a real relationship with a woman was like. The way Al and Peggy interacted was funny. Not a great example, but an example nonetheless. In the end, as I said earlier, funny is funny, and the sign of good comedy is that it's accessible to everyone. That doesn't mean everyone has to find it funny. It just means that you don't have to be married and an expectant father to "get" the jokes. And now I'd prefer to leave this topic and move on if it's cool with you. There's plenty more bitching to be done!
-
Does anyone remember that? Was it any good? I remember it being fun, but I saw it when I was a kid.

Is watching a Polanski film supporting him?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
No. Is listening to Michael Jackson supporting kiddie-fiddling? No. Is saying that he was "never convicted in court" and making excuses that allow him to go unpunished supporting him? Yes. In Polanski's case, is making excuses for him, or trying to rationalise the situation supporting him? Yes. "It's been 30 years, we should let it go." Yes. "The judge was corrupt." Yes. But watching Chinatown or Rosemary's Baby is not supporting him. If you were to make decisions on what to watch based on whether or not the filmmaker is a deviant, you'll end up watching Michael Bay flicks for the rest of your life. (I kid)
-
But I still say if you didn't laugh at the Lion King gag, then there's something off about you. Like the guy who has no furniture and just has an old box tv on the ground with no stand. When they watch it they just stand there eating out of a bowl starring down at the tv.
-
Because lets face it all the money he's gonna get has been gotten at this point. So it pretty much doesn't matter. Its like me not seeing Transformers 2 in theaters, sure I feel good about it, but I know it doesn't stop Bay from buying Coke by the pound.

That A Horror Movie A Day, guys blog? There was a link in Quint's movie a day thing for The Pit. The guy seems like too much of a douche to have such a big following and too much of a horror snob, I don't know.

Wasn't one of your finest efforts, and seeing as though I set it up for you I'm slightly disappointed that you couldn't manage something better.

thanks for the headsup at my site for Crispin Glover coming to Baltimore. That ought to be good and weird. Im gonna try and make it.

How'd you get Sauna? Doesn't come out for a week or two? Also I am so jealous about the Crispin Glover thing I want to see his movies so badly. While I don't know if I ever will I'm glad he is at least going places with it. I think he is just showing his newest movie right now.

British one, she thinks she gets out then realizes its a dream and she's stunk the caves? Whats the American one? When she things she gets out, she does thats the end?
-
One of my favorite from the 80s. It is smart, witty, clever, funny, scary and also intelligent. It is The film starts out like something that Paul Schrader would have wrote instead of John Sayles (the architect of the modern monster movie), and gets down to showing and depicting what has always been lacking in earlier werewolf films, the animalistic, SEXUAL nature of the creatures. They are beast controlled by their animalistic sides, and what is more animalistic than sex (besides killing and eating)?
It is also very satirical, and subtle and not-so-subtle rips into new-age culture and the idea of tapping into your inner-self. As the movie points out, sometimes you're inner self is an animal.
The only complaint I have with the original HOWLING is the Special FX. They haven't held up that well (Joe Dante admits that) but then again, neither has the SFX for AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON or even THE WOLFMAN have held up. Werewolf transformations are tough as hell to pull off (which is why WEREWOLF OF LONDON still has the best transformation scenes by not really showing them). -
Film ends with the cheap scare of Juno in the car. I don't think Descent 2 got a cinema release here and the thought of it angers me.
-
I think I would have Ripley be this Messiah character, someone that the other characters desire to seek out and find. And then have one of three things happen:
1) After spending 60 minutes to get to her, they finally do only to have her die about 30 minutes later.
2) They find out she is already dead, and that it is just her recorded voice.
3) That she is an android set up by some ex-employees of the company, either for nefarious reasons or as a symbol of hope.
-
I always had it as an enjoyable sleazy little film. Mind you, I always watch it drunk late at night so probably miss subtext.
-
of The Descent. Nevertheless, there is no sequel. La-la-la...there is no sequel...la-la-la.
-
I would discard 3 as a bad idea, they touched upon it in Resurrection. The one I lean towards is 2 of that list, because that gets round even having her in the film, but I do like the first one as well. I think we agree in principal though, Ripley should only be in it as a cameo
-
If they pull it off it off Solomon Kane has the potential to be really a really cool movie.Kane is Robert E. Howards' second best literary creation after Conan. Solomon Kane is a Puritan adventurer that travells around the world killing all manner of supernatural beast with a battle rapier and a flintlock pistol, Kane is a single minded killer. If James Purfoy can be half as cool in the role of Solomon Kane as he was as Marc Anthony in Rome then Solomon Kane could be really fun.

having Ripley in yet another Alien flick is ridiculous
by just pillow talk
Sorry, but it's beyond ridiculous. Enough already with any part of the Ripley storyline. The fact that they can't have an Alien story without Ripley is pathetic. Move away from that.
-
but I just find it a really odd movie. It's by far the best of the Howling movies but I know thats not saying much.
I guess it's the cheesiness with which everything is done. Just feels sort of off. Ill necver slag something Dante does too much. -
Jonah already answered the Solomon Kane question.
-
I like Purefoy. It's just something I've never heard of that makes people overexcited. That was all.
-
I agree no more Ripley. Let a small cameo be it for her. Done. On that note, I'm off.
-
You've just not heard of the character before that's all. I'm keeping my expectations low because its a movie. BUT if they stay sort of true to the spirite of the stories(and liberally plunder them for visuals) the movie has a reasonable chance of being entertaining.
-
Oy. No time!
-
I said the exact same thing a few minutes ago when I logged onto IMDB.
-
He is a puritan, a zealot. He is an uncompromising individual, who has zero internal conflict or doubts. He is a scary dude.
The movie will try to "humanize" him, and make him just a swashbuckling hero fighting the supernatural ala VAN HELSING. -
CONAN was the closest, and even that was way off. And KULL was just a fucking travesty.
The closest thing to an actual REH character in film for me has been Snake Plissken. A little to campy to be a true REH character, Carpenter & Russell still endowed him with the characteristics that make REH characters great, especially their strange but strong moral code. -
thanks for the article. It's going up later today as soon as I get some other things taken care of.
-
I know that they will not get Solomon Kane truly right and maybe not right at all. I'm just hoping I get some good fight scenes out of the movie and that they sort of ball park Solomon Kane character from the book.I realize that a a total black and white character that believes his actions are correct and never queations them dosen't fit into the ironic post modernist prisim of the film world.Since I'm slow and rural and all so I just want some neat demon kills with a sword.
-
you're welcome. I hope it's what you were looking for.
-
Since I'm slower than you Xi, I also want nudity.
-
Always and forever.
-
I think it looks okay. The potential for some good kills is there I think. It does appear Conan-like with some blood splattering sword swings, so that gave me some hope.
-
its awesome...some fine films that rarely get referenced there. good work. I am glad to hear you admire thin red line. It was a shame it's underrrated.

by calling it Xiphos' top 12 modern american war films
-
Did anyone know there is a movie about his life? The Whole Wide World, stars Vincent D'Onofrio and an early Renée Zellweger. Wonder if its any good. Also didn't realize Vinnie D'O made a The Taking of Pelham One Two Three for TV?
-
I don't know much about Robert E. Howard, but it seems like Wolfhound fits into his world. Plus its a good movie. A guy fights a tornado of rocks with a sword! They should put that on the cover.
-
is a good movie if you're interested in REH. If not you will be bored to tears.
-
The top 12 war films accoring to Xiphos... and yes, he gets an SPR dig in there, but takes Pear Harbor with it, so it's all good.
http://cinematropolis.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/xiphos-top-12-modern-american-war-films/
-
I liked it alot but I often hear from people that borrowed it that they think it sucks and was too long, boring, etc. Eh, whatever.
That part where he fights the giant rock tornado with a sword...i felt like something out o those late 90s army ads where it would show some kid battling a dragon with a pick-axe and then turn into a recruiting video. -
not Whole Wide World.
And yes Wolfhound does have a Howard feel to it. The mist monsters and the song about his escape were the best scenes. -
He's got a pet bat!

What's the idea behind this site? Are we drawing a line under MyMavra? Are we having the same kind of content, reviews and stuff?
-
WOTM will basically just be the rest of us here...who aren't over at Bale or what not with a site where we can post our own stuff & what not.
I suppose it will initially look like Mavra's site, but Herb's aim with the site--indie features, interconnected communities, etc--is sort of a different beast than what this would end up being. We aren't trying to replicate or compete with it, just starting something that is an alternative to here.
It's gonna start as a blog and we'll see where it goes from there. It's gonna be the COC place, not one person's vision or anything.

He came up in the early 20's about the same time that Sisler, Tobin and Jacobson were hanging around League Park. He was platooned and was able to hit .350 a couple of times but No One Noticed. He later on was traded to the Tigers for Manush and Lu Blue. Last I heard he died in the forties from some kidney disease. Bill James rates him as one of the better bench guys who if he'd played in an era w/ the DH he coulda raked. Plus he liked Giant Robots, so it was all good.
-
Did you happen to catch any of the TBS baseball in studio coverage? If so, were you mesmerized like I was by the awesome mullet Dennis Eckersley is still sporting? I was stunned I tell you, stunned, by its beauty and silky sheen. That is a power mullet and a half.Jonah, The Whole Wide World is a very good movie, if you like REH. Most people don't even know who he is so they think the movie is boring, fools.
-
but that's not hard to do its awful.
-
Always has been, always will be. I remember watching him as a starter for the Indians(!) pre-Red Sox, he was good. One of a kind. He's also snow-white, he's using more boot black in his hair than Reagan and the Stones combined nowadays.

Almost as much as-but NOT quite--as I do Jarvs' varied(and sundry-mustn't forget that) new orifice drillings for Everyone's fave Oporto Merino Sheep abusing Aliens Vs Predators fanatic. I haven't seen too much of him recently, seems like he was doused by one too many acid baths.

The original's director is making "The Wicker Tree", a spiritual sequel about "Cowboys for Christ" evangelist teens from Texas going on missionary work to Scotland to convert the "heathens". Christopher Lee had to back out of the main "Lord" part due to an injury, but he is still in the movie playing a "recognizable" supporting role. Lord Summerisle returns, perhaps? This is now one of my most anticipated films. I can't wait to hear more about it...
-
I've got a ton of shitty "horror movie" screener copies I could be watching this month. At least I've got the Children of the Corn remake on DVR. But so far, I've watched zero scary movies this holiday month. Unless you count Zombieland. Which I don't. Though I did finish Day of the Dead for the first time last night.

Am I the last one to this party or something? A website co-created by Joe Dante that showcases old trailers for old classic, crappy, cult films with commentary by famous and non-famous genre filmmakers like John Landis, Bill Duke, Alison Anders, Dante and (ugh) Eli Roth? Impressive. Most impressive. I can't believe AICN has NEVER covered this. www.trailersfromhell.com

we aren't in competition with mymavra. It will be less tight and more shambolic than what Herb's doing.

Best War Film Ever. Conti is right.
-
Lost out due to a coin flip and I'm sort of glad. I like the movie but teh real life Operation Market Garden was a fucking abonation of an operation. I'm sorry to have to insult a Hero of the Enpire but Montgomery was a whinning bitch and never ever should have been in command of a hard charging lighting fast operation he had neither the training not inclination to carry off. If that lame pussy Eisenhower had given Patton the supplies that went to Market Garden WW 2 would have been over by November of 1944.So that's why A Bridge Too Far didn't make it.
-
Is WW1 and German so its outside of my narrowly defined and wholly arbitrary critria I used in making this list.Honestly though I don't think it would have made the list. I like the book but the movie never blew back my hair.
-
Australian war movies were on the first list they were of course Breaker Morant and Galipoli. Both top flight movies. They lost out out when I had to revamp how I was going to go about making this list.

Fucking yankee bastard. You do realise other nations fought the wars too? You need to change your name to Xenophobe_2. Asshole.

I'm kidding of course. Breaker and Gallipoli are both great flicks.

Um... Xi? Where's Flyboys on your list?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
hehe... The Thin Red Line is my favorite war flick. Glad to see it's favored by an 'expert' on the matter. I've seen it quite a few times, but also I've gone and played the scene where they finally make it up the hill then take the japanese camp. It's a brutal, horrific, hypnotic scene. The music in is amazing. Also, Greg Kinnear was a badass in We Were Soldiers. I haven't seen 2/3rds of the flicks on your list. I will keep an eye out for them in the future.

Werewolves on the Moon is the site name?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
... I don't know about that one. Why aren't we going with Church of Chang again?
-
I have no idea what Soloman Kane is either. But loads of people on this site are going insane for it.
-
And I won't hear another word about it.
-
whereas if we go with Church of Chang it's too in-jokey to this place. We can chop and change as we want, though, and make fucking clear on the start that it's C-O-C. I bet we can meta-tag it as well (nerd that I am).
-
I reckon WotM is too specific and not generic enough. But really, whatever.
-
was an utter fuckup and a bridge too far for Montgomery- who had an excellent record in the desert. However, to ignore it ignores the outright fucking heroism of the (I think it was) Frost and his paras who held that fucking Bridge in Arnhem for over 2 weeks longer than Monty's ridiculously optimistic estimate of how long it would take to get there. Market Garden was ill conceived (unusually for us), ill funded and supplied (all too typical of us), and a heroic failure (100% us). My Grandfather served in the tank regiment and was absolutely scathing about having to wait for the Americans outside (I think) Berlin.* Mind you he was also scathing about Market Garden and described at as a massive fuck up of arrogance and complacency. I remember that bit clearly as he never swore.Jarv adds caveat that his grandfather died in the 80's and he is trying to remember something he overheard when he was a kid.
-
is what google etc looks for. I think. I've been putting loads of them in this week,

don't forget this is the holding wordpress one until either I or you or us or whoever pulls finger out and does a proper site- when we do that, that's when it becomes Church of Chang.

Isn't there a site or whatever that you...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
put the url and description of your website or page etc that sends them to all the search engines? Are these meta-tags? (From Jonah's site) tags: Baltimore, movies, horror, literature, thriller, entertainment, animation, creepy, life, short film, arts, Edgar Allan Poe, 200th birthday, author, Tell-Tale Heart, James Mason, murder mystery, mad protagonist, Poeby Nathan Bartlebaugh

I agree.

I'd never heard of meta-tags until about 2 weeks ago when the upload thing I had to do had a big box to fill out.

Ugh. These are the fuckers we deal with on this site. We need to abandon ship pronto.

I mean seriously, what do we actually look at here? Twitch and maybe other changian topics while they annoy us by ignoring our natural stuff in favour of garbage like Twilight. Fuck this place. When we get our shit together and do it properly that is that for this place. Wordpress is our half way house. Kind of like for a parolee.
-
Fuck's sake.Morning all.
-
I have already forgotten what happened.
-
and apart from feeling like I want to fuck Liz Hurley, I can't remember anything about it.
-
I saw it at the cinema. I also can't really remember it. Something about running something (guns? drugs?) across the border via a hidden cave? Rubbish. And it made a shitload of money so of course there'll be another one.
-
Which I liked very much. I reckon that might be one I'll watch a few times. Made me laugh quite a bit.Also, it made up for me accidentally renting Paul Blart a few weeks back. I was in a rush, knew there was some sort of mall cop film with Seth Rogen in it, and picked it up without looking properly. It did not make me laugh.
-
Jesus, Liz Hurley was unnecessarily hot back then.
-
A stinking load of shit. Memorable only for Hurley.

"accidentally renting Paul Blart"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
THE biggest lie I've heard in a long time. You rented it out of your purely instinctive attraction to complete shit and you know it. So Observe and Report is good? I've had it at home for ages and always decided against putting it on because I'd heard it was shit and Rogen looks like a 6 foot potato in the trailer.
-
It's easily the best of the prequels, it's still hurt by the lousy acting of Vader Jr.--Herr King Jorge Lucas-BOTH guys playing Vader sucked? the kid I can understand, but the HS-older? why?--but it still has enough good set pieces and modicums of Giant Robots to make me happy. I like that John Cusack-led charge up the hill at the Japanese pill box, too. Very good. There's the sequel w/ the Joan Cusack lead charge up the hill--don't think that one worked out as well- Jarv, Market Garden-very very bad. Ow. I can remember talking to some guy in his 90's around 1980 up in N. Maine who had been in WWI--he was some kinda support staff type so he managed to get away (rel.) unscathed. It sounded-very bad. Verdun and all that. Awful.
-
I wanted to see this in the Cinema because it pissed the Guardian off something fierce with a "violence to wimmin" faux-post-feminist bullshit article and much hand wringing. But then I looked at the preview and thought: nope. Bedazzled does indeed swallow cock- it's all about how hard whatshisname can gurn while hurley wears fetish gear (not bondage, just wholesome uniforms and suchlike). I've made it sound better than it is there. Hurley is quite unfeasibly hot, and has since become my standard reply for when droid starts being rude about English women.

What Hurley has going for her...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
other than the hotness, is the posh british accent. For some reason a hot chick with a prim and proper accent makes me want to sodomize them six ways from sunday.
-
amount. When I saw that it reminded me of sitting on a bus behind 2 chav twats talking about how White Chicks was the funniest thing they'd ever seen and how they were going again in the evening. I had to get off the bus. I hate the bus at the best of times because it's so fucking useless and miserable and it reminds me of the dreadful state of modern Britain.
-
it's you subconsciously taking vengeance on the country that transported your ancestors. Kind of like how I really enjoy stealing things off an Australian.
-
Not sure how much money it made. Never seen white chicks, but have seen Little Man which may be the most disturbingly ill-concieved alleged comedy I've ever laid eyes on.
-
also, not shy on getting them out. Has anyone seen the film with her and Ice Cube in it about South Africa. It's quite unfeasibly awful, and getting Hurley doing a poor Afrikaans accent is one of the dumbest ideas anyone ever had. To get an idea of how bad it is, Ice Cube gets an opening monologue that includes the line- "When I left Africa I was an African (as opposed to an Avocado Pea), but when I returned, I was an....... American"

which was shit. Complete shit.
-
I was rushing about trying to get about fifty things done and knew I wanted something funny to watch for when I was finished, raced into Blockbuster, grabbed Paul Blart because I thought Seth Rogen was in it, and about five minutes into the film realised I had picked up the wrong DVD.I suppose none of you cunts are going to believe me, though. I did watch The House Bunny recently, and that WASN'T an accident, so I do have some form there.
-
it's a fucking masterpiece compared to the first one. I fucking LOATHE the first one. What the fuck happened to Tamahori? Other than the weird cross dressing thing of course. He directed a couple of great fucking flicks (Once were warriors and The Edge, Mulholland Falls was okay) then got stuck making generic crap sequels. Die Another Day, Along Came A Spider, XXX2 and Next are all shithouse.
-
Won't be everyone's cup of tea. It's darker than your average comedy - see The Foot Fist Way for something similar (same writer/director) - kind of a comedy version of Taxi Driver starring an unusually chubby Seth Rogen.
-
That's another one I've bean loaned, but I don't know about horrors anymore. They're always such terrible shit.

How'd that sound?Accents are hard on the internets.
-
Not good, and quite silly with that "Nemisis" dude. I will say that S.T.A.R. chick was pretty hot, whomever she is. There was also some kickboxer vs. vampire flick on Chill, or whatever the fuck it's called too. I think it was a made for cable movie or something.
-
crazy about A Thin Red Line. Though I do give it mad props for the aforementioned charge up the hill and through the village. I think that captured the chaos pretty fucking well.And A Bridge Too Far is excellent.

Just as long as I know you said it, I'm happy.

AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH 6)Half assed Characters 7)Idiotic catchphrases One of my pet hate films.
-
A vast improvement on the first one because it actually felt like a Res Evil movie instead of some generic shit zombie flick. I remember reading an article where Jovovich was blasting the director of 2 because he fucked up some dangerous stunt that she did herself (i think it was her running down the outside of the building). Basically saying the way he shot it anyone could've done the stunt and she put herself in serious risk for nothing.
-
Oct 08, 2009 6:44:54 AM CDT
yeah...I'll give you that, it was better than the first
by just pillow talk
And isn't that how they shoot *all* action scenes now anyway? I'd be pissed too if I were Jovovich.

Never saw the second one. Was there more than one sequel? Bah...never mind, it doesn't matter.

The two moments in XXX that stands out to me...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
as a summation of all that is shit about it are: 1. The opening scene that has a secret agent in a tuxedo getting killed. This is obviously a half assed, misguided and embarrassing attempt to say "This is not some lame James Bond flick." 2. The scene where Diesel shakes with rage as he peers through x-ray goggles watching scientists get gassed (or however they get killed). The acting is hilarious. Diesel just looks like he's trying to pass an elephantine sized turd. Apart from Dragonheart, which I have a soft spot for, Rob Cohen is a talentless cunt that gives the usual hollywood hackery a bad name.
-
And diesel is returning because his careers in the toilet.
-
another one of my pet hates. The first one was such catastrophic shit. Amnesia is the hack's tool de jour. Follow the plot of the fucking games, you wankers. It's survival fucking horror. Not putting Stars in the first one was scandalously stupid as was trading Gill Valentine for fucking Alice the supermutant. Then they ignored Resident Evil 2 (great game) and jumped straight to Nemesis (pretty plotless) and FUCKING RUINED NEMESIS. They turned him into some sort of thinking, caring monster. LOAD OF BOLLOCKS. Part 3 is the best, because it only borrows bits from the games (zombie crows), but is still mediocre. The other two are dire.

How they can do this is a mystery. They clearly state TWICE in part 2 that Diesel is dead. Make the Third part of The Chronicles of Riddick instead.

The next Fast and Furious is not going to be called Grandmaster Fast and the Furious 5. It's apparently called The Fast and the Furious: Fifth Gear. I like Frankies better.
-
What happened, and this is a stroke of genius, is that the filmed near Cupar Pedy (I think that's how you spell it) in Australia to get the right desert setting, but it pissed it down. So to get it to look arid and shitty they acid washed the film. I really like the effect they finished with.
-
there is some logic to the sunrise thing- in that to survive they had to stay in the shade which is feasible as the last section is a valley. Where they fuck it up is by having the runners have to climb the mountains that provide the shade. And the fact it's about 30k. I don't give a fuck how quick you are, but speedy fucking gonzales couldn't run that distance and climb a fucking mountain ahead of the sun.

Well, it mostly leans towards aristocracy, where the demands of family and society would see marriages arranged between approved families. Since there really weren't that many of these families they would end up inbreeding through the generations. And then there's of course the scots.

the more inbred they are. By the time you hit the islands the words "brother" "Sister" "husband" "wife" "man" "woman" and "sheep" are all pretty much redundant as the population has morphed into one hermaphroditic mass of protoplasm. The Welsh and the Cornish are the same. So you base inbreeding on a tiny proportion of the population? Fuck's sake, man. That's like me assuming that everyone in melbourne is as backward, inbred, toothless, and afraid hygeine as those in Coober Pedy

It's worse than we think it is.
In a bid to get hits, over the summer I rented the movie--Series said it wasn't that bad or something--with the intention of writing a middle of the road review of it or something that would trash it in a different way. By the mid-point of the movie I was bored and felt like wretching.
I was so want to get rid of it from my memory that I never wrote the article and my wife and I never mentioned it again.
Actual lines/scenes:
"You're like my heroin."
stewart walks into class and sits next to Emo Boy, who starts flipping out and sniffing the air, and putting his hand over his mouth....and then bolts and she starts smelling herself to see if she's the problem.
when the sun comes up Ed tries to hide himself from her so that she can't see his true horrible nature. When the sun hit's him he freakin' sparkles lik those cheap-ass plastic purses you buy at the beach.Thats it, just sparkles.
Vampires play baseball during thunderstorms so you can't hear the crack of their mighty swings.
Peter 'Baby Cruise' Faccinelli is the vampy patriarch and is he ever preeening.
The chaste/sleazy/I need you my everything love story is a snore. -
Twilight 2: Die Harder, doesn't look like complete shit. It looks like the movie Underworld likes to think it is (but with a lot more topless dudes for Droid). Granted 90% of the trailer was SLO-MO shots, and I'm pretty sure Twilight Girl hasn't moved past acting with her hair. But it looks like it could be fun, and there is a guy in the trailer who looks like Chris Klein, so I'm just going to pretend its him. Plus while Polar Compass was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, if they had just rolled the credits right after the Bear Fight, it may have been one of the best. I mean I didn't give a shit about any of the characters in that movie, but the bear fight was fucking awesome (though I didn't understand why they weren't drinking Coke on the side lines). So hopefully Chuck and Buck and suck and fuck makes a lot more action scenes in the sequel.
-
I said Twilight was good? I think I said its not as bad as everyone said it was, but its not good. Its like a Syfy movie of the week. I think I was sort of enjoying/going with the movie until the fucking baseball scene? So gay. But I can see why chicks love it, they are stupid so they buy into all the love shit in the movie. My wife liked it and didn't even think the main dude is cute and she hates the main girl.
-
was that a typo? because you may accidentally have given it a good line.
-
closr then. I burned myself for no reason!
-
Is just a lame B-movie, without all the hype I don't think anyone would've cared enough to piss all over it. But because the hype and money it made people like to double hate on it. If you just saw it at blockbuster and it wasn't some mega hit film, you would've been like "oh well that was a bad choice" and moved on.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Preening. Funny. Series you're starting to sound like AssholeLives with your directing homophobic taunts to me in an otherwise unrelated post. You don't want to be a goatfucker now do you?
-
that sparkle link is blocked by work so I'll have to check it out later.
-
I sound nothing like Asi, you do with your repeat comebacks. I'm freash every fucking time. Let me guess? I like Speed Racer right?
-
it really felt like a DTV movie...I couldn't see the money anywhere up there on screen.
Honestly, it isn't that movie is some emo love story--though Im not a fan of that genre--but it's that it just relies on the most obvious and generic elements of that genre. -

"I'm freash every fucking time."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Probably because you're preening.

I laugh when people's comeback is "Whatever"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That means they they know that the person is right, too stubborn to admit it, but cannot leave an argument without getting the last word in. Sound like you, Series?
-
Is the fucking rabbied online fan base? Like I thought it was just soccer moms and dumb girls, I guess a lot of internet losers love it. That are teenage girls make up much more of the internet then I realized.
-
We bicker something fierce. Just as well it's not serious. I'd take that back, Droid, it's a bit out of order comparing someone to Oporto's finest besetiality exponent.
-
sniffs crack or smack.
-
I say whatever because you think your ass is on some high hat where everything you say is aces and you can say all the dumb shit you want. But when someone gets you, you try to act like its stupid. So I say whatever because you are like Asi in that nothing will get through to you, so whats the point?
-
What do you need from me to set me up as an admin? Not sure if you've sent me any emails as I haven't checked it for a few days.
-
Is did look like a DTV movie. The sequel looked that way with the teaser, but the new trailer looked like it actually cost money to make.
-
I watched the first episode of True Blood last night. Premise: 8/10. Execution: 3/10 and that's being generous. I give it precisely 2 more episodes before I consign it to the dustbin along with Dexter, Sarah Connor Chronicles and a few others that seriously squandered my good will. No, I haven't ever gotten over Dexter in NA meetings.
-
I eat at least one of these every day. http://tinyurl.com/ya93hy7
-
call each other whatever, but comparisons to that international tool are beyond the pale.
-
And the second episode was fucking great. Echo are you watching it? Droid doesn't think its funny, and I think Jarv listen to him.
-
It looks just boring, what is it? Vampires in the South? I taped that other vampire show, Vampire Diaries but I ended up deleating it to make space. New South Park wasn't that good last night either.
-
I disagree with him all the time.
-
you need to go to wordpress and register as users...choose your names, but don't ask for a website. when you do I'll add you as administrators.
-
Because one or two laughs that aren't really releated to the main story and are just sight gags aren't really worth the effort. Yet I think South Park is bigger then ever right now. I'd put pretty much any episode from seasons 5-8 against any other comedy show. Probably the greatest run of any show ever.

"some high hat where everything you say is aces"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Well, I do think that everything I say is aces, because if you have no confidence in your own opinion then what the fuck is the point of expressing it? What I don't agree with is "But when someone gets you, you try to act like its stupid." I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "someone gets you" but I assume it's when someone calls you on something. If I state a fact and it's incorrect and someone calls me on it then why the fuck wouldn't I accept it. What you can't seem to fathom is that when I express an OPINION on something it is exactly that. An opinion. It's not an indictment of your opinion. It's just different. And by not being able to understand that significant difference slots you into the category occupied by AssholeLives and the like. I'll repeat it again. I hated Speed Racer. I think it's shit. I don't understand what you like about it. But does that mean that I think you're an idiot for liking it? No. Taste is subjective. You can either continue to insert bracketed gay slurs towards me that make you sound like a certain portugeuse goat enthusiast that we know, or you can get over it and move on. It's up to you, mate.

I gave True Blood about 4 or 5 episodes...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was shite. And yes, the premise is ripe for interesting tv. But alas the show sucks. (hehe... unintentional pun)
-
typo
-
See I got you good with a gay slur the other day, and you got all pricy about it. Something about gay slurs really hurts you. So you try to act like its childish and stupid, acting like "oh thats the best you can do", like I said earlier Asimov doesn't thrive just on gay jokes just repeat jokes. So I don't see the comparison.

through my stapler, I *know* what I speak is the truth...from my mouth to 2for2true's ears.There will be a samurai monkey movie! See, ACES.

I still think South Park is hilarious
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
The imaginationland ones were awesome.
-
And still may, is Glee. But as the show keeps going the story gets more interesting, but the lame lip synching needs to stop. They need to get kids that can sing, or get a music video director on set so its not blatantly obvious that they are lip synching. It just looks so cheesy. Funny how a show about singing, the singing is the worst thing about it.
-
Was ok. Only the second episode was great though. I thought the Family Guy Star Wars was better. Also I bet imaginationland had a lot of help from Vern Chapman who should really take over the writing of the show. Sure he did Towlie, but at least the show would be odd rather then the same thing every week.
-
uggh, is this really what we've come to?
-
Guitar Queer-O, More Crap and D-Yikes! that season pretty much sucked.
-
They don't "hurt me". Series, you hold yourself in too much esteem. Nothing you say matters enough to me to be hurt by. I make the point because it seems that when you don't have any actual ammunition, you resort to gay slurs. Homophobia is the sign of weakness and insecurity, Series.
-
gay slur. As long as its just not, YOU GAY!
-
head over to wordpress and register so I can make you an admin...of gayland!
-
Why? You set yourself up for a good come back, and I nailed it. I even high fived the rest of my team at worked because it was so good.
-
Pillows, you're like that JettL bloke who C-No goes to for advice about the Batman franchise.
-
I'm not saying, GAY! OHH THATS GAY! YOUR GAY! GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY! I don't care about gays one way or another. Sure they are an easy and funny target. Let me find the actual comeback and put it to a vote.
-
Sir, I just really zinged a great gay slur at this guy on a movie website that I keep open on my desktop all day. I know the numbers are down, but you can't rush a good smackdown. Gimme some skin!
-
True Blood- I think the problem with it is similar to the problem that I have with Torchwood (bear with me on this). Both series are allegedly "adult" however both of them actually think that gratuitous sex is what makes something adult. It isn't. It's what makes something adolescent. Did I really need to see douchebag brother going down on that chick to find the bite mark? No. Did I need to hear the vampire say "clever girl,but there's other arteries(looks at crotch. One in particular is a personal favourite of mine" Oh fuck off you juvenile twats. And this is before I get into the dullness of the acting, 2D characters, shitty ideas like telepathy, and all round mediocrity. It's a real shame because the opening in the convenience store (leaving aside the gratuitous hand job in the car, which was as pointless as it gets) was superb.

really. The thing with Asimov is that he has NOTHING apart from gay jabs. Series has other ammo. And is anyone actually offended by what's said here?

When I see a "good jab" I'll admit it, series. THIS is why you like Modern Family and I don't. What you find funny, I don't. It's really quite simple. Sit down and think about it for a while.

Is turning out just like every other recent Schrader film I've watched. Just putting me to sleep no matter how hard I try. Also Goldblums accent is fucking awful and in and out so bad.

-
Series, if you haven't seen it you should watch Affliction. It's one of the few Schrader flicks I've seen and has a couple of genius performances by Nolte and Coburn.
-
But that's still a good jab. If Rickey G had said it in his mousy backhanded complement way of comedy, you would have called it "amazing, breathtakingly funny". See thats the difference, if you don't like something you just think everything about it is shit. And if you like something you have a hard time finding problems with it. I can hate something but understand why its good or other people would like it. I can understand why people would like somethings I don't. You don't, you just say to each their own, like its beyond you to find any good in something someone else likes that you dont. Twilight is a good example, I pretty much hated it, but I can understand why teenagers and girls would like it. You would just call it rubbish and be done with it. Same with Modern Family and Speed, you think they are crap but Family is getting good ratings and Racer is a technical marvel of a film. But since you think they are shit you don't care why anyone else would like them.
-
Pillows is rounding up a midget army armed with freshly sharpened #2's. Talk to him.
-
I've seen it. It was gay.
-
I saw Affliction forever ago, hardly remember it. I remember thinking it was ok at the time, and that Nolte mumbled through the whole thing. I thought Ulee's Gold was better.
-
coburn was in a completely different role than I'm used to seeing him. Frail and yet terribly destructive at the same time.
-
it ended up feeling like a t.v. movie fo the week
-
Is going to be an interesting mess. Gary Ross is a pretty good director, so he probably won't end up directing the movie.
-
Oct 08, 2009 9:55:50 AM CDT
I've never said jack shit about Twilight
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
You can stop making assumptions on things I'd say, mate. I haven't seen Twilight. I just said that before. So how could I say I can't understand why anyone would like it? Speed Racer fucking sucked. It was lame. At no stage was I able to suspend my belief that what I was witnessing wasn't real. Because it was simple moronic dialogue deliverd by actors who were either disinterested (Sarandon and the main kid as an example) or overacting (the villian) set against a blue screen of ordinary cgi. The races weren't exciting. The story was predictable. It was overlong by 30 minutes. The whole thing was a bloated mess and a waste of money. No, I can't understand HOW you would like that. But, much in the same way that a person can enjoy having someone take a shit on their chest, I can accept that people are different and will like things that I don't. You don't seem to understand that, mate. You need to get it through your skull that you don't need my acceptance to legitimize your opinions.
-
Something about Peter Fonda's performence really got to me. It did have a lifetime feel to it. I need to see Affliction again, may have been too young to really get it/like it. Schrader is a smart man, but I'm starting to think that sometimes he's full of shit or the story is too complicated for him to sort it out right on screen. His movies always look very nice though, even the lame special effects in Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist didn't stop the movie from looking like shit. Echo have you seen The Walker, its got Woody Harrelson in it so its gotta be good.
-
I was using it as a general example.

Does he even review movies any more? I guess he's still trying to watch TWBB five times like he claimed he did. I can't remember if he said it was in a row or not though.

Do you actually know who the fuck AsimovLives is? Earlier you said that he doesn't make gay slurs, now you say that explaining why he doesn't like something is an Asimov trait. BOTH are the exact opposite of being true.

He's claim to having watched it five times was in a very short period of time, say maybe 2 weeks? Who watches a movie....well I had a roommate obsessed with I Heart Hukabees who watched it every day for a week or two?..five times in the span shorter then two years?

I've actually had semi conversations with the guy. I think his use of GAY is due to his limited knowledge, like just screaming GAY all the time I don't really see as a gay slur, its just dumb. I mean now that I think about it, yea I guess whenever he's made he says gay things. But I put those in the childish category of gay comments, its like someone cussing to cuss. A gay slur to me has to be something that at first may not sound offensive to gays, but really is. Like when you realize a friend is probably a raciest. And I obviously know who Asimov is because he's the guy who says that same fucking shit OVER AND OVER AND OVER again about what he hates about Jar Jar Trek. Which is what you sound like when talking about Speed Racer.

I know if you had said it, you would have thought it was fucking great.

I don't think he'd make a good Venom movie. His movies are too adult comedy and fun to make a good dark Venom movie.

I ONLY ever talk about SR when I talk to you. Because YOU bring it up. YOU use it as part of your "I'm right, you're wrong" routine. Example: "Let me guess? I like Speed Racer right?" You initiate the SR talk, then try to turn it around by saying "You're like Asimov. All you do is repeat the same shit about SR." It's a pathetic and juevenile way to try to legitimize your argument.
-
Great movie but I just have problems with the real life operations but I would never cast aspersions on the actual fightrs of the operations. British, American and Canadian tankers, Paratroopers and infantrymen fought thier asses off. I have major issues with management from both sides of the pond but A Bridge Too Far did a fair and accurate job of showing just how brave all the fighting men of all countries were and if the coin flip came up differently I would have gladly put it on the list.

Go BACK and forth in the wee hours in the morning before any of us yanks show up. Be it mostly about cricket, but in the back and forth’s between you two had jarv mentioned something like that and you got him with a gay marriage joke it would have become a standard in your arsenal of comebacks between each other. Well maybe if the Prime Minister legalizes gay marriage, the Brits would be good at cricket. Something along those lines.

I need to see this. I watched A Bridge of River Kwai about a year ago and was amazed at how great it looked. It looks like it could have been made this year.

You need to recognise the importance that the burgeoning relationship between the good ol' yankee doodle dandy and the french peasant farm girl had on the war.

Have you noticed how most of the recent WWII flicks have had 'one scene' of proper war but then the rest becomes a talky piece.
ATONEMENT did that with the Dunkirk sequence, VALKYRIE did it with Cruise's column getting dive-bombed in Africa, ENGLISH PATIENT did it with paratroopers landing. All the holocaust movies did the same. Little bit of action. Big bit of talking.
I miss the days when square jawed heroes could kick nazi ass without the film-maker making us feel bad about it. -
refers to his revisionist "Ben Affleck and us yanks won the war singlehandedly" history. Bastard.
-
cool.
-
They're like Jeffery Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem. I think they're the same person.
-
Re AsimovLives. You are wrong. His use of gay isn't because he has limited English- he once called me a remora (which was quite clever), it's because he's a homophobic twat, and thinks being called gay is the worst thing ever. This Talkback is like sitting in the pub arguing with your mates and throwing banter about. It looks pretty savage from the outside, but really isn't.
-
Well fuck a duck then the lying bastards.
-
I can't tell if I'm signed in or not.
-
Anymore because Heroism doesn't fit into the post moderninst view of the cocksuckers in hollywood.
-
Yeah I know that, but I think AsimovLives thinks that this is some brutal proving ground of movie prowess and knowledge. Seeing that he takes name calling as a offense punishable by death in his bass ackwards part of the world.
-
Or... Inglorious Basterds had no action, lots of posturing and mucho talking.
-
No I have not seen it but I do have some problems with how the movie has been presented. Mostly with the Renner character descriptions and the way he acts. I'll catch it when it comes out on video or cable probably.
-
That's my standard response to him because Droid lives on CLAPHAM COMMON. The cottaging capital of Europe. There's only one reason to live there- and it isn't for the view. He once met a nice man called Kevin Spacey walking an invisible dog. They connected.
-
I was thinking today (when asking the question about whether you'd consider it a war flick) that the story could very feasibly, with minor alterations, be transferred to an urban setting. Like Renner could be a bomb defusal expert with some sort of government agency. Of course that's just the core story. The surrounding details and characters are what makes it more interesting. From the point of view of someone with zero military experience, it was very good.
-
Oct 08, 2009 11:04:58 AM CDT
Who'd you rather meet on a dark common?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Kevin Spacey and his invisible dog, or Jarv's secret love George Michael and his port-a-loo?
-
I thought the same thing about how easy would've been to make Renner a civilian character and then the way they presented him would not be as big of a problem.
-
I'm off. Ciao.
-
Whats the problem? That he disobeys orders?
-
yes that would be a problem but the issues I have is more with how the movie has been presented. The writer allegedly spent time with a EOD unit and I will state for a fact he never saw an EOD member acting the way Renner is suppossed to be acting in the movie. They would put you on the first thing smoking out of the country.The thing is that EOD members run to a type mellow, analytical, easy going guys that work well as a team. The loner "bad boy" type would not last long in EOD.
-
Droid, yeah add BASTERDS to that list.
I think SAVING PRIVATE RYAN succeeded in 'spite of' the talky scenes - not because of them. Well-choreographed battle sequences can be incredibly compelling viewing, the battle itself tells the story.
Don't know why so many WWII films are battle shy. -
Like loo and cottaging, Droid would find my jokes funny. Instead I use offensive yank language.

Unless you are making a movie about Stalingrad, most soldiers don't see endless combat. It is boredom and monotony broken up by occasional violence. Even in WWII, GIs were not seeing constant fighting - just skirmishes and firefights followed by a lot of trench digging, marching and trying to stay warm.
Which is why I have to agree with Xi. BoB is the best of the War Genre because it shows you all of that. -
And gay. Over produced typical Hollywood dribble. Just kidding, I've only seen a couple episodes, why didn't they ever make a season two? Maybe get a Mash reunion in there for fun.
-
Guy that Mel Gibson Heliocopter movie is based on speak, or maybe the author of the book unless they are the same guy. Either way, I didn't like either. Well the movie was ok, but its one of those typical military member movies where everyone you know in the military has a copy of it like it was fucking issued at boot.
-
Watch ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (the original, 1930s one) again.
What I love about that film is that it is so damn cinematic and touching. Sure the acting isn't top notch (the film was originally being shot silent, then sound was added so a lot of "talkie" experience wasn't there), but it has so many damn great moments:
The montage of pair of good boots (where bad things befall anyone who wears them)
The little sequence involving the starving French girls and the Jerrys as the exchange bread for sex
The leads trip back home when the townspeople are so out of it they are playing armchair quarterback and talking about how to win the war
And that great final shot where he is reaching for the butterfly and is killed by a French bullet.
I love that damn film. And Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack can rot in hell for treating Lewis Milestone like shit on the set of OCEAN'S 11. -
But I also liked ULEE's GOLD.
I was pissed that Fonda nor Duval (for the APOSTLE) won it the Academy Award. They had to give it to Jack for playing Jack with OCD in AS GOOD AS IT GETS. -
The new Travolta flick is directed by the B-13 guy, From Paris With Love. Dude needs to get the fuck out of Pairs I get it. You think its the action capital of the world. Also I don't get why Travolta isn't the bad guy, looks a lot like Taken, like the prequel or something.
-
I've never been a huge fan of Jack in As Good As it Gets, didn't buy his OCD.

Ask Harry if he likes Spawn as the first post of this thread? I can't figure it out, but I want to know. I've read Harry's Spawn review and it sounds like he liked it back then.

Warning, its very graphic. Whether or not the first half of the video, showing the accident, is the same guy we see later in the hospital room does not matter. What matters is that it looks like the injury we see at the end of the video is extremely real and not for the squeamish. Imagine a man's face completely torn open, jaws broken, a dark, gaping hole... Yeeeeesh. http://thisizgame.ning.com/profiles/blogs/man-splits-his-face-wide-open

My point about war movies is that they used to make movies about 'battles'. The battle itself was the subject.
BATTLE OF THE BULGE, BRIDGE AT REMAGEN, WATERLOO, ZULU, GETTYSBURG, ZULU DAWN, RAID ON ENTEBBE, BRIDGE TOO FAR, CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE, THE LONGEST DAY. I'm sure you guys can think of many others.
The last movie about a battle was BLACK HAWK DOWN. One battle movie in like 20 years. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH! MORE WAR LESS TALK. -
By squeezing the sides of his head and bringing the face back together at the seam, so you can get a glimpse of where his facial parts are (bc its hard to distinguish eye/nose/mouth at first), he sorta KINDA looks like Eli Roth. You could totally say it is Roth, after an onset accident in the middle east, and get away with it, if it makes you feel better.

Vader can't we just discuss how Robert Shaw almost nazism cool in BATTLE OF THE BULGE? I hate all that snuff, operation type footage.
-
if this was the rest of AICN I'd say you knowyour audiene well. "Want to see a man's face get split open?"
Those were my last words at the old job. -
All of you who enjoy the quality programming over at Cinematropolis (and will appreciate that I spent 15 minutes photoshopping wolves into space suits for Jarv and Droid), go over to The Mobbies and show your support. So that great programming like Xi's top war films can be made possible....eh, hell. I can't do it.
It's the last few days of the contest Cinematropolis is nominated in. I'm 2 in two categories and I think I could upset the thing with a rush of votes today. Calling on the gang here. I promise after tomorrow I'll shut up.
and don't worry, Xi, I'm sure you have already voted thrice by this point. -
if you provide the flippin link...

Was tremendous as as Colonel Hessler, probably in Shaw's top five performance. Hessler was a man who knew how to get the most out of his rather green troops. That scene with the SS tankers singing the Panzer song was an amazingly insightful piece of writing and acting in my opinion.
-
Already voted today.

The Merchant of Venice? The one with Alpa in it?
-
Xiphos, right - I dont even remember who played the heroes in BATTLE OF THE BULGE. I'm sure there were a few Hollywood stars in there. But I don't remember them - I remember Shaw in his black nazi uniform because he was the character that was on a mission. You could feel his charisma and his drive to succeed. Even though he was playing nazi scum he fucking played that part like a PROFESSIONAL.
-
what did you make that video for?
also, did you get my email? -
I think the reason for that is because, in all honesty, very little of us Americans actually go out and fight in wars nowadays.
No, what we do is pontificate and debate about the merits of going to war, and wether or not we should. Very few Americans (and almost no directors save for maybe Stone) can relate to the idea of being in battle. But talking about war while a war goes on? Shit, that happens everyday.
VALKYRIE is the quintessential modern war movie. It is about the idea of wether or not being in war is a good idea, and that true "heroism" isn't shown by the men in the trenches or front lines, but by the people back in the homeland debating and secretly plotting to end it.
In VALKYRIE it was an assassination, in the US it is a protest or maybe shooting an anti-war movie. My God, the humanity... -
To show off how awesome my dog is. Yeah I got your e-mail I forgot to respond last night.
-
300 posts in the last 24 hrs... you guys!

your dog and the frisbee was cool. Petey is awesome.
Merchant was just ok.
However, I'm urprised you didnt play coheed over that entire video. IT WOULD HAVE RAAWKED!
;) -
Just to try out editing something. All I had was the one shot done by my wife. I got my buddies rotuine like 3-4 different times so I am going to make a better one for him.

In his own mind he was going to have success even though rationally he knew the were fucked from the get go, he still was going to carry out his mission and he nearly did.
-
Always happens - some guys come in and start labeling REH a racist.
Sorry, that was HP Lovecraft who was the racist - REH was actually pretty progressive for that era (the 20s and 30s) and considering where he was living (Texas). I can think of only one story that I would find truly "racist" by REH (the one were all the blacks are going to revolt in the swamps of Louisiana, what the hell is the title of that one again).
I hate when people say shit they have no idea what they are talking about. REH was no card carrying member of the NCAAP, but he sure as hell wasn't HP Lovecraft or DW Griffith, or even Jack London. -
Conti, as always you take it to the next level of perception. I didn't pick up any of that watching VALKYRIE last night - but that subtext is totally there.
Has anyone actually seen DOWNFALL? Not just the famous Hitler in the bunker meme. If so, is it good?
After seeing him escape death in VALKYRIE i'm quite up for seeing Adolf get his just desserts. -
Had I ever seen the movie =(.
-
Kicks Valkyrie's one eyed ass.
-
Make me laugh so hard.
-
Conti, might be politically incorrect of me but I honestly wouldn't give a fuck if REH did appear to be racist. He lived in a different time to us. Different social mores. Different standards.
People trying to literally transplant the standards of the 1930's onto modern day without 'filtering' it to take into account those differences is a disingenuous fool. -
Its a mind boggeling fucking stupid argument anyways. REH had many sympathedtic black characters in his stories. Especially compared to his contemporaries. That retroactive and reflexive branding of somebody as "racist" because they don't conform the modern norms is a reCOCKulous argument made by retards.
-
Vader, go get yourself BATTLE OF THE BULGE and a handful of WWII classics and shut yourself away until you watched them all. You'll come out blinking into the light a better person.
-
I think REH was racist, in the sense that he believed that he should support his race. He lived in an era where racial identity was important.
BUT what he didn't do is advocate that other races should be put to death or that they didn't deserve to be treated with respect or some sort of equality. He wasn't a Klansman, nor were his characters. If anything, Conan is the victim of racism and ethnic hatred because so many people in those stories despise him for being a Cimmerian.
And if any group wants to label REH racist, it should be the mother fucking Picts. Sure he had Bran Mak Morn and Brule, but every other story was about Picts getting massacred. -
Xiphos, I think we made the same point at the same time. Pro.
-
series, i'm not expecting it to be a date movie but is DOWNFALL entertaining as well as quality? (you know what I mean) Worth a rental?
-
I agree.
-
isa very good movie, and well worth seeing. It's a really intensive look at evil...at how banal, ordinary, and pathetic it can be. It makes everything that much more haunting I think. You aren't looking at supernatural malice, it's human frailty and twisted human souls. And it is not sympathetic to any of these characters in the least.
-
Is worth owning I think. Tight script and plot, and its amazing to see just how crazy Hitler was. I'm just gonna go ahead and assume everything in the movie is truth because life's easier that way. And the acting is top notch, you though Chaplin did a mean ass Hitler was to you see Bruno Ganz! (I don't know if thats who it is, but it sounds right). In fact I wish I could be watching Downfall right now. With a big batch of freshly cooked saurkraut and a beer maiden. HAHA! What do you know it is Bruno Ganz, you owe me five bucks!
-
Echo made it sound a lot cooler then I did.
-
Hey DOWNFALL's on Blu Ray and it's been added to my rental list. Can't remember the last time I saw a German movie (DAS BOOT?). If it's horrible i'll blame you guys, but I expect it's gonna be class. Thanks!
-
Series, but you invoked the German beer maidens.
If heaven is truly paradise then I expect it's waiting staff to consist entirely of German beer maidens. -
You aren't looking at supernatural malice, it's human frailty and twisted human souls.With a big batch of freshly cooked saurkraut and a beer maiden.
-
Echo, are you in any way, shape or form affiliated or bearing a resemblance to the Echo Chamber personage of Aint It Bale News?
-
I know fuk-all about REH, so I aint gonna comment on him, but for some people to claim that it can't be racism because that was 'the times' and them's were the 'mores' of 'those times', is fukken motarded ass-pickle shit! By that reasoning every one who lived 80/90 years ago was a racist because 'them's were the times!'
Like the word racism was just invented. People knew what racism was back then! Either you were or you weren't it had monkeyshit-all to do with the times! Either you treated people fairly and like an equal human being or you didn't. The one thing you can safely argue is that there was less understanding about the races back then. -
Another German movie I desperately want to place before my eyeballs, but its not out on fucking VHS yet! At least Gomarrah comes out soon, ahhh the ole stomping ground.

Echo the Bunnyman is still around over there, but I don't quite have time for my own collumn, so I do reviews and what not from time to time and that live chat thing with Dan.
-
So who gives a shit. We can all enjoy The Fearless Vampire Killers but now I'm suppose to not enjoy Conan because Robert E Howard may/maynot be a raceist? Wasn't he a bit of a shut in?
-
The Wave is decent Series...pretty good, but not great. It was interesting. I don't remember, I saw it last January.
-
and it just so happened to be fortunate that he also wrote most of what he thought and dreamed about.
It's Conan the Barbarian. Who is looking for a model of social living?
It's mysoginistic, brutal, and a complete male fantasy. What are we trying to make it Tolkien? Oh wait, I forgot...he's racist too. -

Echo, respect to you. I also followed the link and made my vote.
Xiphos I liked the 12 war movies - yes BATTLE OF THE BULGE! Have to disagree on THIN RED LINE which I thought was pretentious wank but y'know dude - each to their own. I might be wrong. You might be right. A couple in there WAR HUNT and STEEL HELMET that I haven't seen, and will try and track down.
In all, I have to say CINEMATROPOLIS is a 'Professional' fucking site. -
Probably the best German film in the last ten years, and that includes DOWNFALL which I own and love.
-
Thank you for inviting me. Glad to see Toad's warnings about me continue to go unheeded, mwa ha ha!
-
You are, afterall, the faithful soldier, posting regularly here, AIBN, Cinematropolis, and at MM when it was going...You up for it?
Cobra, thanks a might buch for you votes. I personally think it's very cool that some flourishing sites have sprung up out of AICN and the TBs. I think that's what made the Twitchbacks and more specfically the COC so different from the others--save for the Lost people--is that people got motivated and moved beyond this, while surprisingly staying around to harp at one another.
It's been over a year now and I've gotten some good friends out of the deal.
Makes me all nostalgic. For Outlander! -
Been reused and abused something fierce, sad to see. Needs Giant Robots!
-
I didn't mean it to sound as if the new site was a challenger to MyMavra. Apologies to all concerned.I was just wondering if Werewolves will be 'instead of' MyMavra for the CoC crew.
-
We were just making it clear it wasn't a challenger/competitor thing. However, to answer your question, here it is: Werewolves on the Moon is the intended meeting place for the COC--that will hopefully and eventually supercede these TBs too. It will probably be a full-fledged website at some point, but for now it's gonna be a blog to get it off the ground.
In essence it will be the true 'home' of the COC--just us writing about whatever the heck we want to write bout basically. -
Should be a blast.
-
Per request I put up a place wherepeople could discuss Supernatural and The Office. Two different groups, but I figure it should be ok, no Office vs. Supernatural wars. Both shows rock, but Supernatural rocks harder.
Here ya go:

and for all those people who are always yelling for a Supernatural TB, let them know, will ya?
Later... -
Not as good as Downfall, too fucking boring. Sorry not my bag of saurkraut. MMmmmm just had some saurkraut as well.
-
Anyone? Any mein gott is the Wicker Man remake shit. Should probably see the first one still.
-
glad you enjoyed the list and its entirely subjective it was the ones I liked. I'm thinking about doing anothr one that is a bit wider in scope, would anybody be interested in reading it?

I watched Good NIght and Good Luck last night
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was good, but kind of felt like I came in halfway through a movie, then left before the end. Strathairn was very good though. As was Laura Palmers dad.

Where is the new Twitch? It's been over two weeks hasn't it?

pain in the ass.

Are you admin on the site now? Have you got stuff to upload?

I just did it, because I also initially used my work email.

I'll do that then. Fuck's sake I can be clueless sometimes.

and I changed my username to Jarv. Fuck you imposter that stole it in the first case.
-
that I got utterly annihilated last night. The beer monkey has definitely been to visit. Cheeky little twat broke into my flat, emptied out my wallet, smacked me on the head with a hammer and shat in my mouth. If anyone catches him slap him for me.
-
I still think it's funny though.
-
I just changed mine to Droid. Love it.
-
Never heard it before. Not bad.
-
but it displays as Jarv. Which is all I wanted.
-
It's an oldie but a goodie.
-
Nope never heard it before. I might change my name to Jarv and wreak havoc! hehe

just wrong. Nothing seems to be working for me, I vacillate between wanting to puke and wanting to pass out and all I want to do is go home to bed.

-
5:45 over here...
So how are you guys this morning.
I've been down with flu all week,which has helped me justify all the wolf photoshopping.
I must have carelessly hit something yesterday and I made my desktop background that female wolf in the spacesuit--it was a seperate file originally and I put the wolf's head in--and my wife turned on the computer. She sat there puzzled and then gave me thelook. This time though she actually laughed and loved the title for the site. She also said...moon wolves, sounds like twilight fan site. -
I just looked and it's not working when I try to change it. It remains my work one.
-
Xi had me post up a new place for Supernatural stuff over at Cinematropolis...so the conv continues over there:

If I get completely arseholed (when a kebab becomes a necessary survival tool) then I generally feel OK-ish the next day. If I have a mid-level sesh like yesterday then I feel horrid the next day.

Quick question... What the hell are you doing up at 5:45am?

actually, trying to catch up on stuff...articles to write for my site,etc. and then school work.

Good stuff

Jonah if you add a post, how do you get it under the right page?

I've moved it to the bottom.

yesterday. What a horrific loss by the Cards. At least Franklin buckled down after the error, eh? And I go to take a dump with a second to play in the third quarter of the Nebraska-Mizzou game, 12-0 Mizzou at that point, I come back with something like 12:39 to play, and it's 13-12. And then the whooping begins. Damn!
-
And I can take it down when I want. Or do I care, seeing as it's my work anyway. Decisions decisions
-
cleaning up the pig-english butchering of a language you supposedly invented. "This is all the the first of the MyMavra reviews..." That makes no sense.

Hopefully this will work. Maybe I should give up on the whole Gracious thing

I was reading about the stupid Cardnals collapse and Mizzou's further ineffectiveness. Over and rated come to mind with them.
-
So they beat their two top pitchers. Yup, stick a fork in the Cards.And I couldn't believe that Mizzou blew that game, especially the way it looked through 3 quarters.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Yes, Jarv. I realise you will probably turn this into a dick joke. Cretin.
-
Because I think I'm on day 3 now of trying to watch Adam Ressurected and it just passing me the fuck out. Also I think that in the end its just not a good movie, Goldblum mumbling in what is probably one of the worst movie accents in a long time is just not working for me. So I'm giving it one more chance tonight, then its off to the nearest netflix facility.
-
Since when did everyone fall in love with her? I don't see it? She's fucking Meg, that voice does make me want to shoot myself in the foot, and she doesn't have much of a body to allow it.

I only noticed her in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I don't watch Family Guy so I didn't notice the voice. But she's fucking Macauley Culkin, so she's tainted goods.

never watched it because i saw on the ads that there was an 8 foot ginger bloke molesting that topher grace kid. Not my cup of tea.

Totally accurate description. And they seem to think she's hot for some reason.

at all. I'm struggling with my work site which I've been using for weeks.

Guinness. Pint of. Now.

I'll leave it for next week then. Or I'll try to do some over the weekend.
-
Not hot. Their are much hotter actresses out their not getting enough work. Same could be said about the girl from Watchmen Marlin Akerman or whatever her name is, but she's willing to drop the top for a $1.
-
I used to live behind a Goat Farm. I think it was called M-O-M ranch.

is in couples retreat. she and her plastic jubblies get more work than kunis.

Jarv, you click new article and then post it. On your Schlock Vault page, you providea link to it.

Oct 09, 2009 8:46:13 AM CDT
I was saying that the same thing about Mila Kunis getting work
by series7
could be said about Malin. She's not very hot either but she is getting tons of work, but she pop's them out at the drop of a hat so at least there's that. There are much hotter actresses you could use since neither of them can act it doesn't really matter who you use.
-
I dont know as it's necessary. You wrote the work, most of it you posted yourself, and it wasn't 'published' in any sort of contractual way. I can understand suggesting to the reader it's all work, but I'd probably--and will most likely do so with mine--just post it as it was, without the acknowledgement. Not trying to stiff anyone, but in reality and point of fact we are distancing ourself from MM, so not sure the reference is necessary. Either way, as you said, it's your work and you can reference what you like.
Either, way I got the impression droid was referencing the multiple thes and sentence structure. -
When will the drive in ever get three movies I want to see. This week Whiteout, Jenifer's Body and 9. 1 out of 3. Ooops looks like I missed seeing Inglorious Bastards in theaters. Maybe $1 theater.
-
Well, I'm not complaining about her getting them out. As long as she continues to do that then she can keep getting roles.
-
Your writings belong to you, not a website. The author is the only person who deserves credit for their own works and has the right to do with it as they please.
-
But Kunnis can right fuck off and be replaced by someone who will.
-
How hard is it to have a good movie listing website? IMDB does it best but it only gets like 2 theaters near me. The theater that gets the cool movies like no one has the listinigs and its a fucking AMC theater, in a mall. Yeah I know the art theater is in a mall? Also looks like A Serious Man is still not near me. Fuck I hate this state.
-
I will never understand how those IMAX theaters in museums can make money by only showing Fly Me To The Moon for the second year straight. Whoever runs that theater must be going fucking insane have to see parts of it over and over again.
-
so if I put it up as a new post then it appears on the homepage or on the Schlock Vault page? I can't see a posting location thingy.
-
blakindigo's response to Asi? —but, the simplistic binary 'good/bad' dichotomy, lacks the intellectual and moral dimension the argument demands. Too bad he'll never understand what it means. I don't think I've seen someone put it so politely as to what Asi's problem is. We'll see how long that last.
-
Was really good. Though I know you Brits have a disconnect with the better version of the office. Also having just got married recently may have added to my enjoyment, but I realized that 30 Rock and Sunny while usually funnier then The Office will never cause an emotional reaction like the Office can.
-
I've put up a post on the front page, that includes a link to the page of the review. But you can't click the headline, it has to be the link I created. I can't figure out how to do it anthoer way. I also can't figure out how to post in my own section.
-
I'm trying to do it the other way round.
-
I just created a page that sits under my Droid Ride section with the review, then created a post which went on to the front page with the first paragraph of the review and then a link to the aforementioned page. It's not how I think it should work, but it doesn't put the entire review on the front page.
-
Droid, you've put yours up as I new page. I put mine up as a post. I think.
-
The post is on the front page. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it on my section
-
If you want the post to go right to a place housing your stuff, create a category for it. That will play on the right side.
Those top pages are pages, just like when you compose an article. You need to add links to the articles. When an article goes up it goes directly to the main page and stays there. It will get bumped off the main view after ten articles are up, BUT it will be in your section.
I need to update it, but if you go to cinematropolis and see how I have the reviews and Fantasia sections set up...yours can look different but thats the idea. -
I've done it back to front. Grrrrrr. I'll redo it.
-
of each film on your page and then maybe a blurb line or something and a link, so it's a bit more prominent. Also, good Knowing review.
I was always proud of my tagline for it here:

But on subtitles or different language audio tracks to funny movies with quotable lines. One of my personal favorites is "Bling Bling!" from Not Another Teen Movie, in french its "Bimbo, Bimbo!" I should do that with more things. To bad they don't put as many crazy audio tracks on like they used to.

I'm looking into getting Wacko Jacko tickets and here is what the rating says: PG , for some suggestive choreography and scary images I guess Micheal looks that bad in HD?

Jarv, little monsters! littl monsters!
Has anyone else seen this one?

The Peter Serafinowicz Show, you guys seen it? Looks like it didn't make it. But I think this guys is pretty funny. He was great in Look Around You, he'd be the only reason I'd go see Couples Retreat, anything else he's been in thats good besides the obvious.
-
His more recent stuff kind of sucks. But Hardcore, Blue Collar & Rolling Thunder (which he wrote) are awesome. Of his later stuff, I do like Affliction and Auto Focus a lot.
-
I really want to see. Hardcore is in the queue and Collar is availible instant view. Auto Focus bored me to death too.
-
Rampage sounds cool and so does Fritz Lang Interviewed by William Friedkin.
-
did you see Schrader's Exorcist 4 cut? I enjoyed it far more than Harlins and they are completely different movies.
-
Bored me to death as well. I don't know what it is. Also something about his movies it takes me FOREVER to get around to watching them. I remember I was so excited to see Dominion and I got it like the day it came out, ended up having it for like a month before I watched it.
-
...was also in EXTRACT with Jason Bateman.
-
I also liked it better than Harlins, but I still thought it was a flawed movie. Of course, it probably would have worked better for me if they had finished the damn movie and not using what looked like temp After Effect SFX and a non-color corrected movie. God did it look like shit.
-
...had a topless scene in HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE.
-
It told a very valuable lesson: there is such a thing as to much sex.
-
Any fans?

for Cinematropolis. Im trailing just behind the soccer moms in the pop culture category. If I can get ernough votes in there today I can grab the top spot.

Then again I was in and out of consciousness during the whole thing. Shit even Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters I had a hard time making it through. Need to see American Gigolo as well.

The pedalbackers started out in a Nolan TB and went for the most posts in a TB (a record set by the Baleback TB I believe) and currently reside in the Michael Caine talks Dark Night TB.Conti or D.Vader could give you more info.

Sorcerer finally a Tangerine Dream scored movie that doesn't have some sort of score dispute. What is the deal with those guys.
-
But that is probably because I love the original, WAGES OF FEAR so much.
-
DV and Conti to Pedalback?
-
I knew you were going to mention the original, you owe me $10 bucks Echo.
-
I'm probably being thick here but if I want to just post an entry and not fuck about with pages, how do I do it so it posts the first para on the homepage like you've done on cinematropolis.

Looks like its made up now of just Six Demon Bag, Subtitles_Off, Cheeses_of_Nazareth, water_shit_anderson and a few others. Did one of those main ones leave or something? After that mess I gave up, plus I don't like posting just to bring up numbers.

Most Posts record is not baleback. It's Aquaf@g which got up to about 30k I think
-
I'll register under another e-mail account and vote again. Democracy, the Chicago way.
-
I wasn't sure, thanks.
-
If someone mentioned DAWN OF THE DEAD or Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN, I would have mentioned the originals as well. I'll probably mention the original LET THE RIGHT ONE IN when the remake comes out.
-
When they watch an interview or making of or documentary about anything film releated by Schader or Friedkin? Seriously those guys lecture you like a pissed off father when they are talking. I just remember listening to the Cruising commentary and thinking, jeez dad I'll try harder next time. As Fincher was explaining how they set up scene.

It is always nice to know that these boards are not just made up of anti-theists, or people who act as such because they think it is the cool thing to do. You know, the 'I don't believe in the magic man in the sky folks', but the same ones who will argue to the death about the deeper meaning of the words of Tom Bombadil and the Ents. I just shake my heads at them because they can not see the forest for the trees. Pun intended.

Here is my first attempt at editing. Its just me at a disc dog comp, and only have one shot. But man it was a lot of fun doing it even with simple IMOVIE. I got 4 shots of my buddy's routine and will make like a music video with it this weekend. http://www.vimeo.com/6957814

You just lost me to life. Been busy this week with lots of different jobs. Also my gf just bought a house and apparently we're moving into it this weekend, but I'm shooting a commercial for a friend this weekend (involving zombies and zombie wrestling and gore-punk bands) and won't be able to help out so I've been trying to do as much as I can with other stuff in between the real paying jobs this week. Its been hectic. But I met the DP of that hockey movie "Miracle" today!

Damn good movie and one of Kurt Russells best roles as Coach Herb Brooks.

This might be the one good game on Sunday. I'm taking the Falcons even though the Niners are playing some decent ball and the Falcons second year QB is showing some cracks, I think the Falcons are on a mission to win this sunday.
-
Dog of a game. Both teams are weak as hell but I'll take the Cards at home in the space age toilet bowl in Glendale.
-
With all due respect to Mr. Sal Bandos Broncos, they lose Sunday. Bronco's have benefited from a weak schedule.

I have not seen Twilight.I'll admit I've been tempted - on account of I used to like Buffy, which also had vampires and teenagers and romance and whatnot - but so far I have resisted Twilight's lure.
-
Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun Li.I've got my fingers crossed for some top quality dumbness from that one.
-
Watched Transformers 2.Jesus fucking Christ, it's worse than the first one. Worse! That is a feat I had not thought possible, but they did it. Michael Bay pulled it off. He made a bigger, dumber, noisier, more pointless film than Transformers.I suppose that's some sort of acheivement.
-
It had too much wink-wink-ery:"Look, Kirk is making out with a green-skinned alien babe!" WINK WINK"Look, the red shirt just got killed!" WINK WINK"Look, Chekov can't say Vs!"

..A VINCE VAUGHN FILM IS A MOTHERFUCKING SPORTS FILM.
SPORTS FILMS SHOULD BE BANNED OUTRIGHT. UNLESS IT'S A FELCHING COMPETITION. THAT I'LL TOLERATE. -
You don't drink, you don't smoke. What do you do?Subtle innuendo, by any chance?
-
Please, enlighten about how the ass of a dead chicken taste.So how are things going BSB? still desperately seeking attention I see. Are you still vomiting up dumb fuck Alex Jones info?
-
You know Tony Romo--Hey-I've a GREAT idea-I'll throw at CHAMP BAILEY in the last 14 seconds on a 3rd and goal! Hey-didn't work?! I'LL DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! Yes he and Jessica Simpson shared IQ scores. Pats are not to be taken lightly, sure-but A: in Denver, they usually lose, and B: Broncs have a really good D. I'm as shocked as anyone, Xiphos. You think BSB is Tinlick ??
-
Just waaayy too many coincidences when titbag showed up and there was bsb right along with him. The only person titbag did not slag on was bsb, and bsb always praised titbag. Then again, I am the guy who thinks lockes is actually hobocode/node, so I could be wrong.
-
He's skywalkerfamily. Ask either MrGeyser or the Pazoozoo, they seem to keep track of things like that. He is a tool certainly.
-
Denver did look good against Dallas but I don't think Dallas is all that good either. Good point about the Pats at Mile High but I would counter that the Hoodie got embarrassed a few weeks back so now he's on a wins warpath. And I agree the Broncs do have a surprisng defense.I'm going to answer your BSB question in my post to Toad.
-
And Sal for that matter I'm pretty sure its BSB becasue its a classic trolling profile to use two seperate names, I know, I have in the past. The trick is to not use certain words and phrases you use under your primary handle and I've noticed that taint is now writing a lot like BSB. That's were it gets hard, trying not to sound like yourself.Sal is right, Lockes is Skywalker family and he's one of the few people around here I think is actually nuts. Node is just a garden variety douchebag idiot but not crazy like Lockes or Media Messiah.Did you check out the war maovie list Jonah asked my to do? If so, what do you think?
-
I'm going to do one more read through of a post before I hit enter. Good lord those spelling errors are glaring and I missed then even after proof reading it twice. Damn public school education.
-
Where is it? If SPR is not #1, then I am not interested! Just kidding.
-
I just type too quickly, and in such a tiny space. I will take your word that lockes is not hobo.
-
Go through these next couple of weeks and look at all the awesome movies they are showing. Just FYI. Some good shit.
-
And it was better then I remember, 1 that is. 2 is good but it really is a rehash of one with a boring section. Also 1 has so many classic lines in it. While I don't expect any one to love the first one as much as me, the first 15-20 (pretty much up to Strange Things the song) are flawless and absolute perfect.
-
Is fucking awful. Seriously don't waste your time. Find a clip of Goldblums allah awful german accent and then times that by an hour 40. It took me this WHOLE week to watch it, it put me to sleep every night. So this after noon I tried watching it but it kept putting me to sleep. At least this time I was awake enough to wake up and finish the worthless movie. Schader is a doozy of a film maker. There is always like some random ass movie I've never heard of every time I have my team at IMDB give me a report on him.
-
Just let the fucking Asian people speaky da enrish damnit! This is not a good enough show to make me fucking stop what I am doing to fucking read the crap that pussy time traveler then the probably would be better if they gave him a coke habit red lighting guy fuck on about.
-
That time traveling bitch cancer? OHHH GOD WHY DO I WATCH THIS SHIT. WOW time traveling gives you cancer, so butt fucking lame. How is he one of the main characters on this shit. Fucking Lost making Asian roles seem cool. I would put the Jin and Jin's Wife Story as second best next to Locke. Probably because those are the only two fleshed out stories on that show.

Did that big queen meanie treat you bad again?Tainty, your opinion in cyber space is like the same in real life, it does not matter. What would be your choice for a good war war movie princess? I'm curious.Oh by the way you never answered my question about what its lile to a professional felcher. Did the first time you sucked the jizz out of a dead chickens ass make you gag? or was it just another day around the old taintlicker homestead?

BSB, despite his nuttiness, has always been polite to me. In fact, I can't imagine him ever being rude to me. Mr. Caps Lock, however, has been a tongue cleaner from the get-go.

Have you ever seen Sam Fuller's FIXED BAYONETS? Not as good as THE STEEL HELMET, but still a pretty good Korean War pic (basically telling the story of 1st Cav as the retreat). Wondered what your opinion is of it if you have seen it.
-
That reference you're using (Goody Two Shoes?) makes me feel really fucking old.Also, I should not be here in a Sunday.
-
Watched GI Joe.Good christ, that's a stupid film. Stupider than Transformers, maybe. The only thing I can say in its favour is it at least doesn't have that asshole-ish aftertaste Michael Bay films have. That's not much of a compliment , but it's better than nothing.Also, that Stephen Sommers really loves him some Star Wars, doesn't he? Trouble is, the Star Wars he loves is The Phantom Menace. D'Oh!
-
I am reposting this from the Caine TB. First, thanks for the artillery info. On to my question. Last night I got into a heated discussion with some friends about unintended meanings of characters in literature and in the movies. Specifically how some characters take on a meaning entirely different than what the creator intended. So, naturally I had to tell them about your Batman theory(?) conjecture(?) insanity - I keed! I actually believe quite a bit of what you said about Batman's character and how his narrow focused and sorta twisted beliefs will wind up getting more people killed because he will not kill. I know that is not exactly how you put it, but I think it is close. But the question was asked, is this relevant to the comic or the movies? So, were you talking about how he has changed in the comic, or how he is portrayed in the movies or both? Inquiring minds would like to know. I will post this over on twitch as well.
-
Not half as old as it made me feel...
-
Finally got around to watching this masterpiece...Words fail me. So bad it's got to be deliberate. Mark Wahlberg's line delivery has to be heard to be believed, culminating in a quite wretched "What? No-oooo..." line near the end that had me crying real tears.Luckily, the shitness is funny and therefore it amounts to a relatively painless watch. With booze.
-
Then swine flu is bullshit. It's so mild I don't even feel like whining about it.
Mad Men's on tonight. Yeah! -
Hilarious! They really took the orange motif and ran with it...avalanche of oranges on the table, Andy Garcia fondling and sniffing an orange, Michael's diabetic attack aided by orange juice(!)
The hilarity is only tempered by the constant reminders to the preceding, far superior, movies. Tip for filmmakers. If you are making a really shitty movie, do not take frequent breaks to remind the audience of the better movies you've made. It just makes the shittiness stand out that much more.
Andy Garcia....what were they thinking? Zasa! I won't even go into the Sophia/Andy cousin-love subplot, which for some reason a bored Diane Keaton has no problem with whatsoever. -
I need you all to register the emails with wordpress.com and then email me with the proper email identity.
Just leave a note over at the new site and I'll get you on as admin. -
I was bored for a bit yestrday so I thought I'd string BSB along a bit. There's no other reason then that.Yes I've seen Fixed Bayonets but its been over 20 years probably so I don't really have any opinion about it, I barely remember it. When I get back to the states I'll try and find it and give it a go. Samuel Fuller is aces in my book. From what I understand he gave work to blacklisted guys and his war movies are outstanding.
-
What did he do now? I wanted to punch him when he had Kanye on and talked to him like an elementary school kid who had pocketed the class milk money. "Now Kanye, what do you think your (recently deceased) mother would think of what you did?" Kanye may be a bit of a dick, but in my opinion you don't talk to a grown man like that, especially not on TV. And it's pretty much never cool to invoke a dead mom.
Then again, I never watched Leno on the Tonight Show, and still sort of think of him as the Dorito's guy. -
Where do I see your war movie list?
-
scroll up and find it.

Aeon Flux cartoons make an excellent antidote to the swine flu.
It has been scientifically proven in a study, sample size one. -
I must disagree with you over the Yeezie on Leno thang. What Yeezie did on MTV was so childish and assinine that it merited he be treated like a child and asked questions like the petulant and spoiled brat that he is. In fact Leno soft pedaled it too much. Yeezie should have been smacked hard for what he did. No, it was not the worst thing ever, but it was still a rotten thing he did.

Of course Batman is going to be slightly off and nuts. He dresses like a Bat and fights crime with his fist. And yes Kane and Fingers made him slightly off, because they were influenced by the Shadow and the Spider -two very unbalanced characters.
But in a world with Green Arrows, Blue Beetles and Hawkmen, a costumed vigilante in a Bat costume doesn't seem that nuts. -
It is not the costume, but the motivation of the character - what drove him to act that way. From inception Bats has been - well, bats! I do not want to see him become a total psychopath, but cleaning him up mentally turns him into what?
-
But only up to a point. I don't think it is his motivation that makes him nuts - many people are motivated by being victims of crime to want to fight crime. It is his method that shows that he isn't dealing with a full deck.
But in a universe with psychotic clowns, cat-women, man-bats, Superman, and aliens, is his methods really that far out? He seems reaction to his trauma seems pretty reasonable compared to a lot of other characters.
You can't really apply real world psychology to a character who has to deal with scarred criminals obsessed by the number two and 500 year old arabic criminal masterminds. -
You took the high road. That boy is nutz!
-
Then again who am I to say who is crazy or not? I have a 'split personality' and am actually masquerading as kobe!
-
Yes, sadly I truly think he is nuts. There are a few on these boards who truly need help. And I think he is one of them. Just the way he snaps at the slightest thing - I mean he is really paranoid. You, and me and Conti had a conspiracy to get him! Yeah. Ok.
-
That was a damn good gritty performance by the Broncos.
-
Anyone watch it? Its pretty cool I think. Until Seth Macfarlanes goofy mug appeared on screen. I was like?? Really he's becoming an Actor now? Just odd. Also the use of that rotating shot from The Dark Knight with Bats/Oldman/Two Face on the roof was used in this as well. So I guess that was Goyers idea?
-
and tell them to burn those god awful ugly throwback uniforms. Good lord I thought that the Steelers had the worst, most offensive throwbacks concieved by man. That is until today when I turned on ESPN and saw a uniform that made the 70's era Padres unis look styling.

It's shit in almost every way possible and stars that cunt-faced little bitch out of Smallville, but is made awesome by Chris Klein. Droid - you were right about that, mate.In this film, Chris Klein throws down the gaunlet to ALL other actors. In this film, Chris Klein climbs a mountain, builds a giant bonfire at the summit, sets light to it, and yells at the top of his lungs:"GOOD ACTING IS FOR PUSSIES!!!"And all other actors feel a horrifying tremble in their bowels for they know this to be true.
-
It sounds superb.

I'll finish the back catalogue today, and with a bit of luck post a new review soon. I'm also rewriting the epic lepathon.
-
what you do is put up a new post and then insert a page break to only display a little bit of it on the front page. That's where we were going wrong.
-
I enjoyed the sight of the Guardsmen of the Wizard of Oz beating up on da Pats though. Very very fun. Thanks Toad. Yeah it was a tight game. They still have Pitt, Balt, Jets(I think?), SD twice-so it's not like the schedule get easier here.
-
I reckon if I get about 6 of them uploaded today that takes it to 10 of the vault reviews so far. Then I can drop in the rest as I feel.
-
I create a new page with the review on it, then create a post on the home page that links to it...
-
That's what I was doing. You're doubling up the work. What you do is "New Post" then there's an icon that looks sort of like a broken rectangle. You hit this at the end of the bit you want to display on the front page and it does the rest for you. On your own section, you just add a hyperlink to the article. Does that makes sense?
-
Easy, eh?
-
I'll have to have a look tonight when I get a bit more of a chance to play around with it.
-
showing. It's the last icon on the toolbar. The reason to do this, if you haven't, is that the fucking superb "paste from word" icon is in there.

Why don't you just play like the Mets on the basepaths and 2 games to the fucking cunty Yankees. Fuck!
-
But damn, they came back from being 10-0. And I heard on the radio that they have 8 games in a row playing teams that finished .500 or better last year. How much longer will the Raider go with the shit-for-brains at QB? Seriously, just grab some former college player off the street. Odds are in two weeks that cunt will be playing better than the cunt that they already have.

You're not being thick. It's under your profile and then on the far right there's a thing called Gravitar. There's where I did it.

It's going to be less than I posted at Mavra because I'm also going to knock the two sleepaway camp ones together. It'll be about 18-20 in total when I'm done.

Have a orgy scene out of nowhere. Plus their scenes are rehersed and scripted out.

Frailty is a fucking great flick
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Is that the first time you've seen it?
-
It was on late on Saturday. I had a great Saturday's viewing: Rocky 4, Blade 2 then Frailty.
-
Or the Frankenheimer one?
-
The speech at the end is gold. Vintage Rocky.
-
Not as good as the first one, but still very enjoyable.
-
Blade one is very uneven. Trying to hard to be cool. Also I wish they had made the BLOOD MONSTER ending. Too bad they didn't have Camerons forsight to wait until tecnology caught up with his vision.
-
The Walken one is a bit poo.
-
It looked like shit on the footage on the dvd. They were right not to go with it. I reckon, if made today, it would still go dangerously close to looking like shit. So I reckon they made the right call in ditching it.
-
Prophecy no way the first one is awesome. With Viggo as Satan, you may have seen one of the several sequels. The first one was pretty cool.
-
Did looks like shit, but it was fucking nutty. The ending of one I don't even remember. I thought it was kind of anti climatic tough. I wouldn't main going back and watching all three again.
-
I think the opening of Blade 1 is better than anything else in either film.
-
I don't recall that ever happening. And I won't hear another word about it!
-
and it's been years since I've seen it.
-
I believe it was called. I don't think they ever made it and it certainly did not star Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel, that no-necked troglodyte from Prison Break and certainly did not sideline Blade. That's all a figment of my imagination.
-
Nope. Never happened.
-
Sure it was cheesy, but as far as a THIRD movie goes, its about par for the course. If it had been a straight to VHS deal people would be talking about how good it was.
-
it was fucking dreadful, and not entertaining.
-
Was probably the first movie I ever saw in theaters twice that I enjoyed the same amount the second time as I did the first. Also funny thing during the second time we went we snuk beer in (probably why I had such a great time). There were like 5 of us and a decent amount of beer, all of the sudden you could tell the movie was about to crap out and there was this rush to hide all the beer bottles. cling cling cling cling cling.
-
I guess I don't hold Blade up to any standard like other people. They could have done a lot worse. Also the movie tired to hard to copy GDT's style of cool. After watching Flash Foward I'm starting to see this is a trend with Goyer's movies. So I guess Invisible tries to copy 6th Sense and the Unaborted copys all J-horror films. He does a passable job but nothing higher then a C.
-
I just don't think it was as good as the first. Blade 3 is an asspickle of a film.
-
Each was enjoyable in thier own way but I think I prefer one overall. Two was the most complete movie of the three. Ryan Reynolds made number three watchable.Blade:How do you pay for this operation?RR: I tend to date a lot of older men.
-
I think I was aiming for this subject title. I had fun with Blade 3. anyone ever watch the show?
-
I just think the third one was ass. Vampire chihuaha, Triple H, Purcell, No Whistler, too much crap on Nightstalkers, it was just rubbish. Although I do give it credit for the "cock juggling thundercunt insult"
-
and it started badly, hit it's stride about half way through. It was honestly quite good towards the end and certainly deserved another series.
-
Where did you get that avatar of R2 with a bottle (at least I hope it's a bottle)?
-
And was not impressed so gave up.
-
I put this up on the Where the Wild Things Are thread. Hit fliks is now on Rotten Tomatoes. Here is his snippet of his review: "Where The Wild Things Are is one for the ages, a major accomplishment in a beautiful minor key, and as I revisit it in months and years to come, it will yield fresh wonders each time."
Doesn't that sound like typical Harry dribble? -
it got a lot better. By the time Blade's old gang appeared it was really quite good and the Pureblood child was brilliant. However, Vampire rehab was a shit idea, and whatshisname didn't really cut it as Blade.
-
Wasn't that his name? Its also a awesome BBQ chain resturante here in America. If you ever see it get the potato skins, and tell them I sent you.
-
Seen the other American Pie Director's vampire flick. Its looks pretty shitty, and I'm not one of those John C. Riely can do everything guys. He was awesome in The Promotion with Stifler though. A movie while I didn't really laugh much watching it, I think about it all the time.
-
That's embarrassing. He turned into a real douche.
-
Was in Blade 1, and Jill Wagner was in the Series. Hmmmm now there are reasons to go back and watch both.
-
well worth a fuck. She doesn't get them out though. Which is a huge waste.
-
about Inland Empire that partially explained it. Was it Menstrual Blitz?
-
Asimonlives who had the Inland Empire theory.
-
I could have sworn it was one of us. Well, fuck it then, that's why it doesn't work
-
The wife of owner of the comic shop I go to got to do her hair for the movie Splinter. Too bad I wasn't around for that, may have paid good money for some hair brush hair! hehehehehehehehehe
-
Getting into it with Asi about why that movie sucked and he was all trying to explain why is the greatest thing ever, just as he was letting Lynch put the tip in. So unless you actually had a civil conversation about it. There are like countless boners on IMDB who will sit with you for hours and talk about the greatness that is Crapland Empire. I remember someone mentioned something about fuck it I hate that movie too much to even try to remember.
-
Get Trick R'Treat this week.
-
damn it. Who was it. I remember the conversation we were comparing Lynch and Cronenburg. I've got a horrid feeling it was Asi, and I responded by telling him to fuck off.
-
Looks like he got more shifts at the factory. While I know you hate him more then most. If the dude would just not spaz out he acually would make for decent convo. But he is what everyone thinks of when they think of internet hating nerd. He is what I'd imagine Harry Knowles would be if he didn't create this sie.
-
it's his pontificating, sanctimonious, irritating, self-righteous unearned sense of superiority coupled with his snobbery and grotesque hypocrisy. He's the most irritating cunt on here.
-
But he comes off as a sterotypical nerd in how he thinks he and himself are the absolutly correct. And the way he lashes out like a child to any nay sayers.

No wonder we did so bad this weekend. Petey wasn't even looking at the Frisbee! http://tinyurl.com/ykldzvw

Werewolves On The Moon just broke and I was trying to do the Sleepaway camp double bill
-
Jarv, did you mix me up with your nemesis? I don't know what to think about that...
It was definitely Asi theorizing about Inland Empire. I was around for that, but I've seen that movie once and have only the haziest memories of it. I do remember thinking that his theory sounded annoyingly plausible though. If a bit, as Jarv would say, wank. -
Nice list! My comments are 'awaiting moderation' over at Jonah's.

I think it's gonna flop.
-
Is this any good? Has anyone even seen it? I've heard good things from a friend but he thinks Southland Tales is one of the best movies ever made......so yeah.

Liked your post about the "goatfucker" and the melon in the other TB. What's the movie that AssholeLives likes that you guy keep reaming him about?
-
to himself when speaking about Ong Bak. FLAMING LEG KICK!
-
It was just weak satire. A lot of things they did worked, but more of it didn't.
And on a personal note, when you are more worried about characters trying to be starts and American Idol-wannabes, and care less about some guy who is a GI, you lose me. If they had made Klein a more rounded character instead of so one-note (or have another GI character who was more rounded) then I think it would have worked better. -

My favorite werewolf flick (even if the SFX haven't aged that great). I prefer it over AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, and find it to be a real clever movie.

When was the first kick/punch/hit to the groin ever in a movie? I wonder when cinematic history was made, and what was the reason: was it for an action movie, to show something really violent, or was it for comic effect?

Been reading the ID4 TB, Doc Pazuzu and Lost Jarv have been shelling him for a while. Lockes is now under his spell?Are you Kobe and Subs gonna have a threesome soon? I kid, I kid!
-
The 3 Stooges didn't even stoop to that level!
-
Subs, well I honestly feel sorry for him. That is all I will say about that.
I was watching an animal planet show one day and they had a video of some guy trying to brand a horse in his stall, the guy hit the horse with the branding iron, and the horse kicked the living shit out of the guy! I mean on second he was in the frame and the next second he disappeared faster than Mr. Hans head after getting kicked by Bruce in Enter the Dragon! So, yeah I think some jackass around turn of century tried to brand a horse on film and got his nads kicked! -
You can also throw in Xi and MNG and a few others. That is like an episode of, wait for it... Star Trek, when the two dudes with the painted black and white faces fought an eternal war. That shit aint never gonna end! Funny as hell too. I would dearly love to see what would happen if Lib War got into that donnybrook too! I have not seen him around for a while though. Asi and I have an unspoken truce of sorts. When he is not losing his mind over Star Trek or Bay, or being condescending, he actually can contribute some very good posts. The really weird thing is that politics make strange bedfellows. Whenever there is some rightwing nutjob espousing some nazi love, guess who is one of the first to attack that asshole? Asi. And DocP and Jarv and me are not too far behind either. Strange indeed.

Toad, instead of analyzing the Riddler, can I analyze Taint?
by continentalop
Because his modus operandi seems to be someone who comes along and just makes pointless comments and insults to people for no reason other than to get attention.
I will have to guess that TAINTLICK is an insecure man, probably still lives at home, doesn't have a girlfriend, probably is a virgin, and suffers from some sort of disability (handicap, obese, speech impediment or acne).
In short, he is a loser desperate to get some attention. And the fact that he would argue with a serving marine about his manliness while he post from the comfort of his home in the safety of obscurity says a lot about his need for attention and his fear of doing anything in the real world. -
YOU FUCKING MONG.
-
That is probably so true I almost feel as sorry for him as I do subs.
-
Think about it. What type of person uses all caps like? Someone who wants attention. Who jumps into TBs and says outrageous things and intentionally throws out insults towards people who haven't done anything? Once, again someone who is trying to cause a reaction so he can get attention.
Everything he says and does is an act, because he has no real identity. And in the real world he is easily overlooked and ignored - here people will take notice of him. That is his goal.
He is a sad and pathetic creature really. -
CONTINENTALCOCK IS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING. I DO GET THE OCCASIONAL PIMPLE.
-
IN LEEDS.
TRUE STORY, THAT. -
IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO RETARDED TWATS WHO POST NON-STOP DRIVEL WHILST PRETENDING TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT FILM AS 'PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING' THEN YES, I'M GUILTY OF INSULTING THEM.
-
People who derive the only pleasure they get in their pathetic lives by logging on to these boards anonymously and posting mindless drivel damn near 24 hours a day. They get so wrapped up in their online identity that they can not just shut it down when they log off. They tend to believe all of this is real. And they really get upset when their little world is even slightly upset. The egregious ones like tainty, have to do even more to draw attention to themselves, because they have little to contribute otherwise. There are some true nutcases on these boards, and I am not being facetious when I say they truly need help and I really do feel sorry for them.

YOU'VE USED THE WORD 'EGREGIOUS' INCORRECTLY. FFS.

So, calling an serving Marine's list of War movies drivel
by continentalop
I hope you can see how ridiculous your comment is now. You might not agree with his list, but I think the opinion of a person who has served in the military, during wartime, and has seen combat, might be interesting when regarding a genre like war movies, were few of us have ever experienced anything like it.
I like the movie BRUTE FORCE with Burt Lancaster, but an ex-con could tell me it was complete bullshit. It might not change my opinion, but it would make me realize that the film isn't as accurate as it claims to be.
So I think Xi's list hardly qualifies as drivel. It is a list composed by an expert in the subject the films are supposedly touching upon.
Unless you are an SAS operator and know better... -
..HOW ACCURATE A FILM MIGHT BE FROM A TECHNICAL STANDPOINT.
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT HIS TASTE IN FILMS COMES OUT OF HIS ASSHOLE. -
..MAKE ME HAVE DISCRIMINATING TASTE IN FILM. MY DISCRIMINATING TASTE IN FILM COMES FROM MY EXCELLENT BREEDING, GOOD HYGENE, SUPERIOR INTELLECT, EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY, LARGE COCK, AND ARTISTIC RELEVANCE.

What films is he missing on his list? I can onl imagine you including something as turgid as THE BALLAD OF THE GREEN BERET as a feeble attempt at sarcasm, because if that is on your list the debate is already over.
Looking at Xi's list, I would say he has picked a number of excellent war movies, only two I would disagree with. What masterpieces has he missed and what horrible movies has he included, in your opinion? -
I now realize who you are by the quaking fear in your post when I beat you down. The IQ several notches below a dingleberry eating cretin and the whiff of cheap drug drug store colone to cover up the long unwashed body oder prove it.

I MEAN, WHAT MOTHERFUCKING WAR MOVIE LIST IS COMPLETE WITH IT?
FFS.
AND HIS REASONING FOR NOT INCLUDING PATTON ON THE LIST IS THE MOST RETARDED FUCKING THING I'VE READ ON THE INTERWEBS IN THE LAST 25 YEARS.
AND LUMPING IN PEARL HARBOR WITH SAVING PRIVATE RYAN? FFS. WHAT A FUCKING DOUCHBAG. -
....IS IN HIS LIST.
I MEAN, IT'S NO SECRET THAT TERRANCE MALICK IS A COMMIE PINKO. -
A) I would argue APOCALYPSE NOW is NOT a War movie. Yes, if falls under the genre of War movie, but it is about a lone man going up river to assassinate a rogue soldier. It is NOT about the unit; it is NOT about a campaign; it is NOT about the experiences of a soldier. It is a metaphor, a myth about the War.
Oliver Stone himself has called both APOCALYPSE NOW and THE DEER HUNTER great movies, great metaphors about Nam, but says they are not about the experience. I see APOCALYPSE NOW as more of an adaptation of HEART OF DARKNESS than a War Movie, just like I see THRONE OF BLOOD as an adaptation of KING LEAR than a Samurai flick.
B) The reasoning for excluding PATTON is just as sound as anyone else reasons. Everyone has their own personal bias or opinions, especially when dealing with historical movies - Would it be wrong of me to hate THEY DIED WITH MY BOOTS ON because the totally sugar-coated Custer? Or how about hating the film the RISE AND FALL OF LEGS DIAMOND because once again they depicted Legs Diamond wrong? Everyone takes out of a film what they bring in - if something goes against what you personally know - such as that Omar Bradley wasn't like the sainted Karl Malden - I can understand how it would prevent you from appreciating the film (which is why I hate THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES).
C) SAVING PRIVATE RYAN wasn't lumped with PEARL HARBOR, it was listed along with PEARL HARBOR. Both are flawed war movies. SPR might be loved buy the masses, and many of the "Greatest Generation" like it as well because it praises them so loudly, but many military experts and filmmakers see it as a bad depiction of WWII. Oliver Stone and John Milius are two of it's biggest critics and have ridiculed the movie non-stop (I love when Stone said "I would have fragged Tom Hanks!").
Personally, besides the opening sequence on Normandy, I dislike SPR as well, and think it is one of the most overrated war films ever. You want me to explain why and I would be more than happy too.
D) Malick might be a Commie, but A THIN RED LINE is considered by many to be the best depiction of what it was like to fight on the islands against the Japanese Imperial Army, as well as showing the psychology of the GIs fighting there. I find the VO flawed, but I find the characters 100% more realistic than anything that was in SPR.
And the shot from the Japanese bunker showing their field of vision and how much area they can cover was brilliant. Unlike SPR it showed why strategy was important in war... -
Why would you call his list instantly shit? You might disagree with it, but he wasn't making it for you and I have yet to hear a sound and intelligent counter argument from you regarding any alternative film titles. Just crying out "APOCALYPSE NOW" is not an argument.
You can say what you want but you should back it up with more than just feeble insults. That says more about you and your need for attention than it does about any criticism towards Xi's list. -
he's that richter scale tool Scotsman75. Just ignore him and he'll go away. You don't climb into a monkey cage to throw poo with the apes, so don't do it with this twat. An ape won't throw poo if nobody throws it back. Having said that, that was a very funny slapping he just got.
-
is an adaptation of Heart of Darkness that happens to be set during the Vietnam war. It is not a war film per se.
-
...it was a REAMING. I think you can drive a truck up his rectum after what Xi and toad did.
-
That douchebag bloke TAINTLICK just got his ass handed to him. His comments remind me of Chocolatwoman or whatever it was. The same kind of abrasive, attention seeking twat. Well played lads.

Watched The Taking of Pelham 123 remake last night
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was pretty average. I haven't seen the original. I should.
-
it's excruciatingly bad- with the exception of the landing scene.
-
It was, as the kewl kids say, a PWNING
-
the original is fucking brilliant. Because of Matthau and Shaw.
-
the world that doesn't like Thin Red Line.
-
I'm convinced that the Sleepaway Camp review is the best one I did.
-
But probably the only one on this TB who thinks so.
Personally, I think it was a flawed movie. A lot about it I like, but I think that Malick wasn't able to pull off what he was trying to go for. It was a little to intellectual and not visceral enough (unlike SPR which was may to emotional and sentimental). -
I think there's some merit in doing a list of "great films" that I find dull.

A Top 10 Most Overrated Flicks list
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That would be a fun list to do
-
BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES
THE STING
THE MATRIX
BRAVEHEART
GLADIATOR
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
SPIDER-MAN
X-MEN
THE SEVENTH SEAL
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
GONE WITH THE WIND
Anything by Dario Argento
And probably a bunch of others. -
Fuck off. That flick is genius. As is the original Nightmare. Agree on SPR. I don't really think either X Men or Spidey are overrated because they are both seen as inferior to their sequels.
-
Shakespeare In Love Blade Runner The Hangover Mulholland Drive The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Graduate This could be an interesting experiment... Might consider doing it...
-
And that's harsh on Argento. Braveheart, The Matrix, Gone With The Wind, The Seventh Seal, SPR, Gladiator I do agree with. I'd add Munich, Magnolia, Million Dollar Baby to begin with.
-
Forrest Gump, natch. Top 10: 10) Braveheart 9)The matrix 8)SPR 7)Titanic 6)Magnolia 5)The Seventh Seal 4)LOTR: Return of The King 3)Brokeback Cowboy 2)Citizen Kane1)Gone With The Wind
-
considering the original was a heinous sack of crap.
-
But it's not as good as it's made out to be. Citizen Kane is great. Magnolia is great. I've never seen the seventh seal.
-
No thanks.
-
I've reconfig'd the posts as per your instructions, jarv. We're cooking with gas now. Just gotta get some more reviews and such up. I'd review Pelham 123 but I honestly don't think I'd find more than a paragraph to say about it.

I think The Dark Knight is overrated
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Especially considering it was saved from mediocrity by Ledger.
-
and you can keep your bandwidth down by doing it in word and then dropping it in- it even keeps formatting. Mine at work doesn't have that brilliant page break thing- that's just su-fucking-perb.
-
I just don't get it and am perplexed by the love for it. Citizen Kane is overrated, because it's frequently called the greatest film ever. I think it's a film to admire rather than like. The cinema equivalent of Ulysses (a novel to admire rather than like).
-
I have this double-disc set of it and an hour long bio about the whole Welles vs. Hearst blow up in '41. You know-that bio is actually MORE interesting than the actual movie itself. There's a certain lemming mentality amongst critics or sportswriters or whatever-you are SUPPOSED to spooge over Seinfeld, Kane, Nirvana, or whatever Bill James sez, among others. Never mind that Seinfeld is grating and lame, Kane is dull and the old-man makeup laughable, Nirvana I AM PAINTLICK I KIN rITE IN ALL KAPS TWO!!! Ummmm nope, not me, trust me. Is it ScotsmanIQ75????? Really? AHHHH durn me CRACKIE Oi gots ta go eat my sister out between me Haggis and Dung Porridge here in Orkney! 'Scuse me while Oi goes an' plays 'Morning Train' on me Bagpipes---

Really? he'd have fragged Hanks? 'specially over that idiotic attack on the German radio post there---

Magnolia is another over-rated thing. Tons of falling Frogs. Gay former child-star Bill Macy. Dirty old man Phillip Baker Hall. Tom Cruise as that over-rated motivational guru you see all over the place. And a Giant Robot that plays Monopoly. What a waste--

Fucking Jets. Where the fuck was the D? Fucking wildcat 'O'? Fuck that shit up Asi's fucking ass. Fuck!
-
Yeah, I thought some of the performances were solid, but I never connected with any of them. I couldn't get into the story, so it was just an okay flick for me.
-
It was a fake asi poster who did quite the excellent Asi-like post in the ID4 thread.
-
I have not seen the remake, but hold little hope for it being very good.
-
Your 18 billion reviews are pushing my pitiful 2 reviews off the homepage! Stop being so prolific you cunt!
-
Up to Critters. That leaves the basket case trilogy which I'm doing as one this time, Lifeforce, Pride and Prejudice & Zombies, Return of The Living Dead, The Funhouse, MOtel hell and Zombie Strippers. It's all archive stuff really.
-
I realise that it's the MyMavra stuff.
-
What I'll do is finish the archive vault and then move the date of your IB review and put it up with whatever I do next so the 2 most recent are at the top. That cool?
-
I just don't want to overbalance it.

My reviews are linked under my page anyway. I was making a joke at the prolific nature of your posts compared to mine more than anything else.

I'm being oversensitive.

I'm sure it will normally be more balanced anyway

Once we get going

it's 6 months worth of stuff, give or take, that I'm putting up now.
-
I'VE REGISTERED AT AICN PURELY TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU ARE A TWAT.
-
APOCALYPSE NOW IS NOT A WAR MOVIE? YOU FUCKING DULLARDS HAVE TRULY OUTDONE YOURSELVES HERE TODAY.
PATTON IS THE WAR MOVIE TO END ALL WAR MOVIES. CHRIST BUT YOU YANKS ACTUALLY JUST GOT SCHOOLED IN THIS BY A BRIT. FFS. YOU'RE ALL COMPLETE TARNCE NANCY BOYS THAT WOULD RATHER BE SUCKING PRIVATE XIPHALLUS' COCK THAT'S BEEN PAINTED UP TO LOOK LIKE THE AMERICAN FLAG THAN TRULY THINKING IN A CLEAR HEADED WAY ABOUT FILM. FUCKING PONCES.
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN WAS A TOTALLY SHITE FILM; AS, IN FACT, ARE ALL OF SCHPIELSBERG'S FILMS. BAR NONE. BUT PEARL HARBOR WAS ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL - SPECIFICALLY CREATED FOR THAT FILM - OF COMPLETE SHITE. IT IS THE WORST WAR MOVIE EVER. THERE ARE DOZENS ABOVE IT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE SHITE THAT IS SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.
YOU FUCKING TWATS. -
EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THE SOURCE MATERIAL IS OF APOCALYPSE NOW YOU MORON. CHRIST, DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU WERE BEING INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL?
YOU WEREN'T. SORRY MATE. -
1)I am not American. 2)I was agreeing with Conti, comprehension clearly isn't your strong point. Fuck off back under your rock, take your pills and when the imaginary penguin removes his cock from your ear, come back and try to join the adults' discussion without using ALL CAPS LIKE SOME SORT OF SHIT SMEARING RETARD. Either that or feel free to fuck off.
-
TELL US AGAIN WHAT APOCALYPSE NOW IS BASED ON. THAT'LL NEVER FUCKING GET OLD, MATE.
-
Lame puns on an AICN handle- the sure sign of a wotsit stained, basement-dwelling, morbidly obese virgin. Seriously, share with everyone the source of your massive retardation. At the moment I'm assuming that either Droid is right and there is serious inbreeding in a lot of this country, your dole scrounging crack whore of a mother dropped you on your head, you are the product of a miscarriage during a car crash, your father is Ashley Cole, or you're twelve. Not to mention that seeing as there isn't a Puffin books illustrated edition of Heart of Darkness, you clearly do need telling which book it spawned Apocalypse now. Now fuck off.
-
THE REST OF IT WAS HORRID.
WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE UP IN NEWCASTLE THIS EVENING? OVER HERE IN HARTLEPOOL IT'S VERY BALMY.
I GOTTA RUN. MY UNCLE TITBAG IS CALLING ME AND SHE'S PISSED. -
I had it on and my roomate came in with some chick and they were like "what you watching?" I said "Citizen Kane" and then they said "the original or the remake?" I said "the remake."
-
"Not to mention that seeing as there isn't a Puffin books illustrated edition of Heart of Darkness, you clearly do need telling which book spawned Apocalypse Now."
-
Funny.
-
is not the smartest thing to do taintlick. Also, please make sure to wear your special helmet at all times. Remember, safety first.
-
Thanks, Jonah.Now all I have to do is pull my finger out and write some reviews. That seems like an awful lot of work.
-
You should put up your epic reviews to start with... they're gold.
-
what am I doing arguing on a Dork Trek thread. I don't even like Dork Trek. Note to self: Slapping AsimovLives is not justification to wade into that sea of fat virgins.
-
(Star Trek, Transformers 2, GI Joe and District 9)I finished season 1 of Dollhouse, though. It's true - it does get better. It takes until episode 6 to go from shat to okay, but by the last two (or three) episodes it's actually pretty good. I might even watch season 2.
-
did you ever get round to doing the epic Alien/ Predator-athon? And what order did you do it in? Personally, I'd have done Predator then the 2 AvP films so that the shit was sandwiched between good stuff.
-
I'm re-jigging the three epic reviews I've already done (turning them into shiny new UNRATED director's cuts), then I'll make a start on reviewing the Lethal Weapon series.
-
Oct 13, 2009 9:27:09 AM CDT
Did you end up bothering with the Batmans?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
LW should be good, except you've got the shitty third one and the mediocre 4th one. I've still got all 4 Anacondas at home that are begging for an epic review.
-
Oct 13, 2009 9:28:07 AM CDT
I'm not ready for the Alien/Predator epic review yet
by franklin t marmoset
That's 8 films. Too many to start with and I'm out of practice.Lethal Weapon is a nice slow start, then I'll do the Alien/Predator epic later. My biggest worry is having to watch AVP: Requiem again. Jesus, that film is shit.
-
is the dizzying drop in quality between each film. By the time you hit part 4 it feels like you're just sitting there letting Mel Gibson smack you round the head with unfunny cunt Jim Davidson's joke book.
-
I really tried with that one, but it was too hard finding interesting and/or funny things to say about Batman. He's just so fucking boring.I'll try again at some point, though. I don't like knowing Batman got the best of me, just like when Clubber Lang got the best of Rocky. I need to re-focus my training and then punch the crap out of him in a rematch. I feel a montage coming on...
-
Because you've got the first two ones which are great, the 3rd and 4th ones which are crap and the 5th one which... maybe I'll leave it for the review!
-
Yeah Dollhouse GOT better, but the first 2 of the second season are pretty weak. I think its one of the few shows where the stories involving the OVERALL plot are more interesting then the shows that are just one offs. The get really interesting ideas for Echo to do but then they are just boring. I hate to say it but I think its Dushku's lack of acting ability in the one off episodes, while the OVERALL episodes bring in better actors and stories.
-
...the law of diminishing returns.I haven't seen them in a while, though, so it'll be cool to see them and again. Also, I thought they'd look nice sat next to the Die Hard review.Isn't Chris Rock in one of them? I like Chris Rock.
-
Really weather guy? Trying to make your job sound more important. Its fucking rain.
-
I was watching Superman IV the other week (fucking hell, what a terrible film) and I thought an epic Superman review would be a good follow-up to the epic Batman review (assuming I ever finish it).
-
to beat the bat review. There's the epic shitness of Forever and Batman and Robin. There's loads of material there, but unfortunately getting through both of them is a bit of a trial.
-
I liked Jet Li in that. I think he made it a lot better after the shitty porno-mo' "land developer" villian in the 3rd one. And the 4th has the "house getting destroyed" gag on the mobile home dealio. That was good.
-
What about a epic Saw review? I've seen this done before, and that guy sounded like his brain was slowly building toward exploding while he was trying to explain how they were all connected.
-
ASS-TO-MOUTH MARATHON? I CAN RECOMMEND SOME GOOD FLICKS; MAYBE EVEN A FEW WITH BROADS IN THEM BUT I KNOW YOU'LL ONLY DISCARD THOSE ON THE SIDE TABLE AND FOCUS ON THE MAN-ON-MAN ACTION.
-
is just one of the many terrible things about Part 4. Superman IV is better than Superman Returns.
-
I thought you were asking if The Rock or Jet Li was in it. Forgot about Christopher.
-
The overall story of the house itself and the company behind it is more interesting than the individual stories about Echo on her missions. That's why the second half of season one is better - because they ditched most of that shit and focused on the bigger story.Do they go back to the shitty individual stories in season 2?
-
That's the one with the magic bullets that don't pass through 2 bullet proof vests, but can penetrate a JCB's digging scoop.
-
What's the matter with you? Mother didn't pay you enough attention? Or perhaps too much attention? Have you anything to actually add to the conversation?
-
Gone Fisting is not a good film. Neither are any of Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, or any of the other utter shit that a cro-magnon twat like you would recommend.
-
I mean they are only 3 episodes deep and I've only seen the first 2 and its 50/50. Both of them have been Echo has a glitch. The first one was good, the second was pretty meh I watched it while doing other things.
-
I don't think I could take it. Plus, I gave up on those films after the third one.Although... I was curious to see the fourth one becaue it had Luke out of Gilmore Girls in it (and I think Julie Benz out of Buffy/Angel/Dexter/Rambo is in the 4th or 5th one). So I am a little tempted.
-
Nope, Forever is by far the greatest Batman movie ever.
-
Have a good day, everyone.
-
Forever grossed roofly the same amount as The Dark Knight and it was nominated for 3 Oscars which is the same as being nominated for 8 by todays standards and more categories. Plus I'm pretty sure Carry one a Golden Globe for his role.
-
THE 5th SAW IS GOOD! 3 and 4 suck, but I am interested in the 6th now because 5 was a throw back to 2. More plot less recap.
-

"Forever is by far the greatest Batman movie ever"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Forever sucks donkey balls. But it's miles better than B&R. Returns is by far the best of the first 4. I'd say better than the new ones in certain aspects.
-
Golden Globes mean even less than Oscars...
-

taintilito I see you have no job beyond embarrasing yourself sil
by xiphos_2
The only thing you could "school" anybody in is sheep fucking you plaid wearin fucktard.Now let me BEAT YOU DOWN YOU AGAIN YOU SHEEP LICKING TAINTTARD. Patton doesn't make the list because of the inclusion of one retired General Omar Bradly who was a coucksucking back stabbin shit bird fuck stain who(or a "TAINTLICK") who changed events to enhance his own image(Or "TAINTLICKED IT"). That's why it wasn't included.("TAINTARD")Now isn't time for you pick up your Govermint check and get your 5000 pounds of crisps so you can keep up that 36 stone of weight your sporting my rotund baby boy? They still use stone as a weight measurement in that kilt wearing backwards ass sheep fucking country of yours correct? Also, do you have to collect sheep dung to keep the generator going?
-
again. I'm so shameless. Just trying to get the hit count(that's right, it's all about the hits) up for Cinematropolis. Reason? To gain access to press screenings so I can have some more up-to-date reviews hitting the site regularly. If I can get a few more comments, visits going over there, it would be helpful.
I'm not trying to draw attention, just enough that I can get the means to actually send other writers for the site to screenings and expand the readership a bit.
Like Series points out, I think we need a place that is providing reviews of the movies actually releasing, not just whatever obscure/studio-pampered swill is tossed out there. I think I'll probably gain access, but it wouldn't hurt. I appreciate the patronage so far, and look forward to transforming WOTM to the permanent home--or until droid gets his site together.
Also, if anyone's got some ideas for Top 10s like Xi's or something film-related they want to see up there, let me know.
Thanks guys. Hopefully I didnt offend anyone. -
"They still use stone as a weight measurement in that kilt wearing backwards ass sheep fucking country of yours correct? Also, do you have to collect sheep dung to keep the generator going?" That's Wales. The Scots are far too tight for that and would rather freeze.
-
Whatever maybe in backwards Aussie land they do.
-
the usually amalgam of sheep and dead body ass, Its piss from your fear of me after the destruction I rained down on you. Sport, I know Scottsman don't bath much so you might want to make nice to your mom pimp and get a new tartan. The clan colors of taint are shit brown and piss yellow. Those are the colors that streak both legs.
-
And all the primary's won Oscars for their work in Forever. Kilmar for Lead, Tommy Lee and Carry split the supporting, Chris O'Donnell best supporting female lead, and Kidman walked away with best makeup.
-
*ducks for cover*
-
That movie sounds pretty sweet, any fans?
-
"Chris O'Donnell best supporting female lead, and Kidman walked away with best makeup."
-
Did the screen play to Eyes of Laura Mars. This movie just got 10 times geek cooler.
-
Totally true. Drag Me To Hell, the greatest Tales From The Crypt movie never made. Thats the best way to put it.
-
but its fun to make one go fetal on occassion from fear. We went toe to ass beating and sheeptaint lost as I put the boot into his ribs.With that I'm off to bed. Mahalo.
-
been years since I saw it though...
also, Burton's first Batman is a movie that probably covers the comic image of Batman the best for the time period. I prefer the new ones--and I know thats a big bag of worms sometimes--vastly, but if you look at the way Batman was being written in the late 80s and what Burton did, there's a synergy there that isn't present in any other incarnation. Batman is always what the director sees him as--especially of course Burton's follow-up, which I quite like,--but the 89 Batman isn't anymore of a loner, a vigilante, or a tortured soul than he was in the comics of the time--save for Dark Knight Returns which was sort of a different entity. My point is that, problems with it aside, it really was Batman and that still counts for alot. I dont like The Jackster much, or Kim "Pit of Nothing' Basinger, but the design, Keaton's dual roles, and the overall awesome feel of the movie. It really didn't have an equal for a very long time there. We judge it too harshly now. -
Compare The first four Batmans to the new ones. The first four save for B&R were fucking awesome for their time when they came out. Amazing soundtrack and great art design. Movies weren't really DARK back then (89) so Batman was kind of as dark as it got for mainstream flicks. By 95 Natural Born Killers had come out, Seven came out a couple months after Forever. So darker and edgier is what people were wanting, and Forever was lighter then Returns. Which I think generated the back lash. But at the time I fucking loved Batman Forever.
-
seriously fucking awful. I hated every moment of it when I saw it in the cinema. The only redeeming feature is that it's better than B&R
-
it mostly just felt like glossy-studio Batman. It was the one where it didn't feel they had a real vision, but tried to have 'VISION'. It was horrible. Studio/focus-group designed 'art' is the worst possible thing.
I will say, I think it could have been something--the pieces were there. The real shame of it was the idiocy of the central villains. And all the flippin' neon. -
Batman Forever, Toy Story, Seven, Die Hard 3: Die Hard With A Vengeance, Waterworld, Goldeneye, 12 Monkeys, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Heat (i didn't see this though till way latter and not a big fan but its worth a mention), Mortal Kombat and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. Pretty much are some of my favorite movies.
-
the fx scenes...when I pass them now on tv or soemthing...they are really odd. They are SOOOOOO artificial that it feels like you are watching the same thing as a kid filming his batman action figures in perilous scenarious. Like the scene where Batman dangles from the Two-Face helicopter. I was always expect to see the giant looming face of a kid with bad eighties hair enter the frame and proclaim "Righteous!"
-
you slipped the mighty morphin power rangers in that list...and then I was like...aww, hell naww...
-
I was younger then all you when Forever came out. Old angst ridden teenagers at that point, hated a good time.
-
Heat, Toy Story, Seven, 12 Monkeys were the only ones I cared about. I also thought Braveheart, Rob Roy, City of Lost Children, Dead Man Walking, Angus, Clueless, Nobody's Fool, Mute Witness, Usual Suspects, Persuasion (don't choke me Jarv!) were also pretty darn good.
And Congo...for featuring laura linney exclaiming "put them on the endangered species list" and then blasting apes with a laser gun, only a half hour after she and ernie hudson machine-gunned a hippo. -
for your list. What a gem.
-
Effects haven't held up as good as Returns (maybe better then Batman). Especially the heliocopter scene. I still prefer Tommy Lee drunk two face to Tomas Jane Lite version. I think he kind of ruins TDK for me.
-
of that list I liked 7, Toy Story and Die Hard 3. The rest I thought were utter shit. Some of them have grown on me since, but some of them are still shit.
-
Was 95 as well! I was just looking at the top grossers since back then thats pretty much all I saw. But yeah seeing that City of Lost Children came out that year. Thats my year of film. Sure I didn't see City of Lost Children till later, but it fits, no wonder I love that movie.
-
back in 95 movies could still be events--they were primarily cool or fun because everyone was seeing them. There was less word of mouth, people weren't talking every plot point to death. You could still walk into a theater and be surprised.
And the coolest thing abotu Congo, coming only 2 years after Jurassic Park--everyone was excited for it. I remember going to the Friday opening showing of it and everyone there was expecting this big amazing adventure. I mean, I can't think of many recent audiences that were that excited and buzzing beforehand. And then, when it was over..people all lookd confused. My dad and I lvoed it, primarily because I think we figured out early on it was dumbhouse and spent the whole movie laughing hysterically. -
Is that I lived in England then, and saw most of my films as the shitty ass base theater that held maybe 100 people max. Since Englands 6 month plus rule was in full effect for every movie back then. Though once the Warner Village Cinema was up in Watford things got a lot better.
-
"Me Amy. Good Gorilla" Fucking genius.
-
Even as a kid I knew that movie was cheesy. I enjoyed it though. I think my brother ruined that movie for me because he read the book and said it was a lot better. I mean I liked it but didn't love it.
-
in my opinion anyway. Strangely, I only thought Amelie was o.k. And felt more or less the same for Very Long Engagement. But Delicatessen and COLC are mint in my book.
-
Fucking genius. The best flick never to garner one single Oscar Nom.
-
Comes out this week in England. Lucky fucks, you get all the movies early!!
-
Page Hamilton soundtrack. The rest of the movie I could do without.
-
Oct 13, 2009 10:58:32 AM CDT
Toy Story, Seven, Die Hard 3...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Waterworld, Goldeneye, 12 Monkeys... all good... Rob Roy, Dead Man Walking, Clueless, Nobody's Fool, Usual Suspects... I like these as well...
-
Jean-Pierre Jeunet stuff. After Engagement he was announced to direct Life Of Pi which I would have liked to see. There was this french movie that came out called Love Me If you Dare which I think was a better love story then Amelie and Very Long Engagement.
-
go beyond the limits of bad and into 'so bad it's good'. It's a comedy from the very first scene. My dad and I were ike...its Bruce Campbell...and then he's dead...and before long there's Joe Don Baker, and Joe Pantolino as Edde Ventro, who literally just ferries them across the runway in a golf cart--scene finished. Delroy Lindo exclaiming "Stop Eating my Sesame Cake!", Curry's Russian accent which made it sound like he had a woodchuck stuffed in his maw. Ernie Hudson's immortal line: 'Im the great white hunter..only black."
-
Didn't come in 95, seems like it should of. Then I would be sold on 1995 being the best year of cinema ever.
-
See I still knew him primarily from The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. (which was only on for 27 episodes? That show felt like it was on forever. I loved that show) so seeing him wasn't a huge deal to me. I had seen Army of Darkness but I had no idea about Evil Dead.
-
Another classic.
-
The Quick and the Dead now a days? With Kate Winslet in Stones role.
-
is such a catastrophically wank book that I don't care who films it. Talk about overrated.
-
in that other thread.
-
I'm nearly at the end. I'm doing the Lep survival guide last.
-
I've had an eye-rolling knee-jerk reaction against that book since people first started trying to coerce me into reading it. There's even a copy that I was given collecting dust and tobacco bits at the bottom of a stack of books in my room.
Ha. Now I can truthfully say that I heard it was "wank." Thanks Jarv! -
the dead giveaway: It won the Booker prize in the UK. It's just so shit- he tried at metaphor and whimsy and it's diabolical. Yuck.
-
When will the results be in on the blog contest? And how does a blog about So.MD qualify for a Best of Baltimore?
-
Ian McEwan's worst book, Amsterdam; The God Of Small Things; and some other mindnumbing shit.
-
but then I read it years ago when it first came out, and missed the Oprah herb mentality towards it. I think it was a good book, and the author had a great storytelling style. However,he had painted himself in a corner.
Again, I read it when it was unknown, so I was suprised it was any good at all. Thats the best wayto dicover things. -
that's another one that was hyped to hell and back.
-
You have pillaged and raped more literature (metaphoricaly of course)than most have even read. I suspect pretense makes you gag heartily and reach for the grog...
-
DAMN another personal favorite. I don't know why people shit on this movie, its fucking nuts.
-
David Thewlis has vowed never to watch the finished product of the film, it was such a negative experience making it. He skipped its opening premeire.
I would love to see an in depth making of. That movie made him my favorite British actor. -
"Life of Pi is wank...Austen is ditzy prattle...Leps in Space=mint.
" -
via that film, Dragonheart and he was voicing some character in James and the Giant Peach.
I quite like Dragonheart despite the negativity towards it. When he spears Julie Christie and exclaims "How unmotherly of you." I thought, "this guy is awesome'. -
Thats were I first saw him, he was such a whiny bitch in that film.
-
It's funny really. I was in my final year of my MA in English Lit when Life of Pi was released, so my mother thought it would be a good present being as one of my modules was contemporary fiction (worst course I ever did- if that's the best of fiction at the time then mankind really is devolving). It wasn't. Regarding Austen, I think she's hugely overrated (invariably by women- no offence, but I don't know that many men that like her), and I actually dislike the writing style of English authors in the late 19th Century. I know that this subjective, but I also dislike Hardy, Eliot, Dickens and the rest of them.
-
Published.
-
I don't think he has ever played a character that poncy and wincing since. It distracted from Dennis Quaid's horrible english accent. Still, Dragonheart is a pretty good movie all things considered. I've never understood why it isn't more well liked. I suspect it's the fact that the giant hoser Rob Cohen made it.
-
it's the end. A blatant attempt at the heartstrings that really lets the film down.
-
But I am curious as to what they had you reading in contemporary fiction...
-
I don't know, I know the polls closed with me in 2nd in both categories. However, they said winners would be notified by 5 p.m. on the 14th. They had to analyze votes, etc. I assume then I did not make it, but that's ok. It's a slow process with anything. My next goal is to get on to the press list. I think things would be a bit easier after that. I'm still more or less doing the site for fun, but seeing movies for free and writing about them is good by me.
-
with The God of Small Things is similar to my problem with Magnolia. You can't just pile on depression after depression, and expect that it will instantly add up to profound greatness. Sometimes it just adds up to "Enough!!" And yet, Ethan Frome puts me in a really good mood. Go figure.
As for people over-rating Austen, some women are so starved for historical female figures, they will overcompensate whenever they find one. -
who really likes Austen. I tend to think opposite of you--I read your hilarious write-up of Zombie P&P--and think her style was both humorous/satirical and very, very serious. I just think that when you place it in the correct context it's brilliant, and when you seperate it, look at it hundreds of years later as romance porn and the guidebook for how to snag a man it becomes complete, devestating K-Rap.
-
isn't it? I'll do my best to help you get some free passes. You put together a really good site.
-
The aforementioned God of Small Things, some utter shit called Noise, Hannibal The Satanic Verses (less said about that the better) The Ice People (wank) Trumpet (complete wank) Jack Maggs (superb) and I've forgotten the rest.
-
and it's an accurate statement that singular, traumatic events and personal loss/distress don't equate good drama unless they are properly juxtaposed. The issue is this though: another first time author who had a story he wanted to tell, toldit as well as he could, and never told another one. I think it should be a rule that a first novel should never be proclaimed a masterpiece. Even when it is--Susannah Clarke--because I think it shoots the author in the foot. Not many recover from their first work being a "literary juggernaut".
Jarv if you hated 'Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell' I may have to start sharpening my pencils. -
I just don't see the satire in it. At best it is a mild comment/ parody of popular works at the time. I think she honestly wrote fluff that academics attach more weight to than it deserves. As I say, though, it's the writing style of the period that I struggle with. Why use one word when you can use 20?
-
Does Roy even write novels anymore? I thought she was mostly writing political essays or something? Tributes to Edward Said?
-
Satanic Verses? People actually read that? I honestly thought it was better when they were just burning it.
Noise, Trumpet and Ice People are terrible reflections of the society they issued forth from. The 90s, in particular, produced some amazingly rancid fiction as well as the early aughts. -
There's too many issues with this book to go into quickly- but I'll try. The split narrative does not help it, when it's basically an issue novel. If it is about 1 traumatic event, which I'm far from allowing, then the unnecessary molestation in the cinema is just grotesque and cliched. The characters redefine cardboard, and I found them impossible to like. By splitting the narrative, Roy allowed herself the deeply cynical and frankly fucking loathsome false optimism at the end. Cheap parlour tricks ahoy. The Untouchable issue is important, but to treat it as some sideline in a bullshit indian version of peyton place is odious. At the end of the day, it's a book that caught the zeitgeist and is better forgotten.
-
Viola- there you have it. I like Jonathan Strange. Clever, well constructed, interesting and I've not seen it's like in ages. I think stylistically, it owes much more to the lower end of Victorian literature than the likes of Austen. Good.
-
because on one hand you are absolutely right...the academics are attributing things to her that don't makemuch sense when viewed through the lense of her life, culture, existence, etc. So, the modern love affair with Austen is usually limited to under-sexed shut-in women who enjoy those books because they paint this vastly specific world that echoes their own inner fantasies. That entire sentence scares me a little.
If you do, as I do, concede that Austen was probably actually bitter about the whole thing, I would contend that she would probably look down with scorn upon those who would lovey-dove over her work. None of that may be true, and it's none of it likely to make you reconsider. I simply submit it as another viewpoint.
Bottomline: I think you have a great writer misunderstood and exploited by the modern audience. -
basically, I write shit essays but brilliant exams so I built the course to take out the books I was shit at in the essays and do the ones I was good at in the exams. Which are the ones I've forgotten. Worked a charm. Oh, Amsterdam was also on it- the start of McEwan's low phase.

...false optimism at the end." That could be a line from my mental review of The Lovely Bones. Another hugely overrated book, in my opinion. Another film adaptation that I am not looking forward to.

and JS&MN is a fabulous and amazing book. It obliterates just about everything we have talked about here today...and this is the one that gets the nerds up in a bunch...I liked it better than Tolkien. There, been said.

I can remember all of the 20th Century American Drama course I did and I did that a year earlier. Fuck's sake. Mind you, Contemporary Fiction is the course I met Mrs. Jarv on. Off now. See you tomorrow.
-
Fuck that noise I hate that book. Then again I was forced to read it in high school. Only book I ever enjoyed that I was forced to read is Catcher In the Rye. I think thats the perfect forced to read book.
-
Fuck no. Awful.
-
in literature as in schlock. My friends thought I was the only one out there that would be reading Melville(though, honestly, not a fan much) in between Subspecies 1 and 4.
-
It stands a chance t be a great movie because I loved the book's imagery quite a bit. That being said the rest--the container if you will--is pretty much vapid. It was, however, not terrible.
-
I read I bunch of random shit. Well I did until I found out about comics. Books have kind of gone the way of the dodo for me.
-
is definitely NOT fun to read in high school, with all the annoying "what does the pickle dish symbolize?" and "what's the significance of the color red?" assignments I'm sure you had to do. I hated being made to read it in high school.
It is a really fun book to read in the dead of winter, when in a cheerfully misanthropic mood, though, as I discovered a couple of years later. -

Was only in theaters for 4 weeks? And it opened at number 1? I remember it didn't get a press screening. Damn Maximum Risk was the number 1 movie? If you look through the list of movies released that month its fucking odd. Damn 1996 pretty much sucked save for ID4, Space Jam, Shine, Mars Attacks!, The Truth About Cats & Dogs, The Cable Guy and Happy Gilmore. But all of those are marginal fun movies.

I remember Ghost and the Darkness reaching #1

You said "A SERVING MARINE CAN TESTIFY TO HOW ACCURATE A FILM MIGHT BE FROM A TECHNICAL STANDPOINT", then you go on to criticize Xi's list and condemn the fact that we don't include APOCALYPSE on the list on War movies, The fact is that what the list is about - Xi's technical expertise.
Is APOCALYPSE NOW an accurate war movie? No. Could someone who has seen combat point out how it is inaccurate and not a correct depiction of what war is like? Yes. Could someone then disqualify it as one of the "Best War Movies" because it does not accurately show what it was like? Hell yes.
Xi's list was about HOW ACCURATE and HOW HISTORICALLY CORRECT those movies he listed were. That is his CRITERIA for making a good war movie. They were commentary on the TECHNICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL and OVERALL AUTHENTICITY of those films. And you wanna claim you know better? He is a man putting his expertise to work, unlike you. That would be like us attacking you for praising I AM SAM for how people like you act.
Face it TAINTLICK, you are only looking for something to bitch about and bring attention to yourself. You are the equivalent of the five-year-old who still shits his pants so someone will notice him - in fact I think you still do that.
Oh, and Xi isn't a Private. I believe he is at least a E-7, Gunnery Sergeant, but I am pretty sure he is E-8 (what is your pay grade again? E-7 or E-8).
TAINT, by the way, was an obvious member of the Special Needs Forces, riding the short bus into combat. -
hahahahaha, thats funny.
-
Who wha? Link?
-
Could somebody post a link to WotM? I tried googling it but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance.
-
If you didn't care for him, you should read this you may warm up to him a bit more. http://tinyurl.com/yhhjd23

So Taint has looked at the list...maybe that explains why someone was using Hidemyass.com to get to the site several times yesterday.
As for WOTM, go here Mobius..

He is 100% either the return of Eggsalad or an Eggie clone--of which there have been many over the past year including our own Mssr. Dickblood,albeit his incarnation was far more manic and satirical. This one is just a prick.

To think, I could have been young Thewlis in DRAGONHEART...
by spud mcspud
I was doing amdram in 1996, and one of the directors of our latest venture had contacts in the BBC who heard about the auditions.
I caught wind of it, begged and prostrated myself, and eventually - after months of cajoling by my director-now-agent, got the audition.
And I fucked it up. Royally.
Shame, really - I could have been the spoilt pussy who grows up to be Thewlis in DRAGONHEART, but who in reality ended up playing Munch in TWO PINTS OF LAGER & A PACKET OF CRISPS, and whose parents won the fucking Lottery. Bastard.
Lee Oakes, I hate you. You RUINED MY LIFE!!! -
Series, Sticky Fingerz is the bomb--the bbq place anyway. Don't know about where you are from, but they sell the sauce in stores here and it's awesome too.
I love that not only does Jaa cite Ong Bak 1 as in his top five fave movies because, in his words "it introducd the world to Tony Jaa" like that isnt him, but that in the middle of four action movies he jst throws out forrest gump as if he couldn't think of anything else. Brilliant. I like this guy--he's nuts. -
if it's any consolation, I want to punch that little douche everytime I see him.

To comment on a review it asks for a name. A username or real name. If real, how would you know? Or care?
-
Thanks for putting me on WOTM. Got no idea what to do now I'm there!Juggling my time at the moment but hopefully shit will settle down and I can give WOTM some attention.I'm doing a Dead Of Night (1945) review and I'll need help posting it when I'm done. I can't find the few I did for MyMavra but Mavra herself might still have them saved cos I sent them to her first. Those could go straight onto WOTM.
-
we don't care. I'd suggest not using your real, but I do over at Cinematropolis.
Have you seen that site Mobius? Forgive me if we already had this conv and I forgot. -
Love that movie and would love to read a review. Let me know when you need help and I'll give it.
-
This place is getting way to fucking crowded for that :) Where is this article?
-
...but will definitely check it out sometime soon. A link, or is it .com?
-
Though I do feel better that he only got to do one more Rob Cohen flick - he was shit in DAYLIGHT - and then dropped off the radar. I, on the other hand, would have got the Paul Walker role in THE FAST AND THE FUCKABLE. No contest.
So what's this CINEMATROPOLIS then?? -
Is obviously titbag,and still=FAIL. Piss off you worthless fool.
-
I've got to sort out me internet connection, plus there's a lot of other crappy stuff going on... I'll get it done. It'd be great if you can get those other reviews off Mavra.

and show up for your 5 PM ass beating at my hands. I have whipped your silly ass sideways and made you stutter like the fool, you are. I own you you cna't ever recover puppy mine from the destruction I've rained down on your dingleberry and cum enctrusted ass.Keep digging that hole deeper tiger you are so cute! trying to pretend you have a reason to live besides yellling nonsensical posts and dearly wanting attention but dreading the envitable ass kicking that you recieve. I find you to be a weak, substandard troll that shits his pants and pisses himself(which is probably better then the johns and your mom who usually piss on you)when somebody slaps you across the mouth. Keep on trying though son, maybe on accident you will do something funny or clever.

A festive diet of Haggis, his aunt's pus-encrusted nethers and a bit of wee sheepdung pudding jest for kickers. It's a wonder, it's a wonder. Xiphos-I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION. YOU DONNO SHIT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T DIRECT NO ARMY MOVIES YOU ARE A FAG AND YOU SUCK SHIT. I think that was what the Helmet Corps above was attempting to say. Albeit with his sister's hose jammed between his buttcheeks and a few rounds of Meister Brau dumped over his head. Seriously. A retarded Scots inbred Gimp who likes sex w/ his dalmation. It's verrrrrrrrrrry sad(and telling)-oh those Orkneys! Jarv and Xiphos both had me laughing my ass off here. That's great stuff. You watch--our toothless Scots Sheep-pumper is gonna be back AGIN'! "I just gots done watchin' Watchmen an' I'm gonna now star in my own home movie as the Owl--now watch me as I fuck my bagpipes an' play 'Money Honey' on'em at the same time---ROGER MOOOOOOOOORE Suckkkkkkkkkkssssssssssssssssssssss egads.

Interesting playmates you have.
-
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
-
"DICKBLOOD DOESN'T DESERVE TO LICK THE SHIT OFF MY S.A.S. BOOTS"
So A) you must resort to insult another TBer you don't know, and one who has earned peoples respect, and B) claim to be a member of a group of elite individuals which everyone knows you are not have.
Why would someone say he is a member of the SAS, one of the elite units of the world? When first I mentioned it, it was as a joke because obviously could never be a member. But know you are daring to claim that you are one? Only the lowliest, weakest, most pathetic of people claim to be a members of a SOF when they haven't earned that title. Why would someone do that? Oh, yeah, you are a lowly, weak, pathetic person.
Because, as I told toad, you have no identity. You cannot claim to have done anything worthwhile in the real world. Only here, anonymously on the internet, will people notice you because you don't have to back up any of the pathetic shit you say. You just have to be obnoxious and stupid and people will notice you. You think that is an accomplishment, but really it isn't - it is being desperate.
In fact, you probably pretend to not see what the big deal is because the idea of "accomplishing" something is alien to you, as you sit in front of your computer, drooling, in your mom's basement. You have never done anything worthwhile have you? Have you even ever kissed a girl, much less slept with one? No, I didn't think so.
Everyone on this TB page here has an identity, and have done real things. Xi is a marine rifleman; toad is a former marine who was in artillery; DV is a student filmmaker; Jarv reviews movies, as does Echo who also helps run a couple of sites, etc.
YOU, TAINT, however, are a nothing. And who will continue to prove it by coming back here to act like a giggling 10-year-old retard and throw out feeble insults, because this is all you have going for you. I said it before and I will say it again, you are a sad, sad creature. -
IT'S LEAD GUITARIST FOR A THRASH COUNTRY BAND HERE IN SOUTHAMPTON.

yappity yapping for my attention. good boy good litttle boy. You are the obidient little unemployed scottish puppy living in chav housing aren't you. Now fetch the ball good boy!My attention is everything in your sad little life isn't it?

IF I HAD SAID I WAS A MARINE WOULD YOU HAVE RIMMED MY ASSHOLE LIKE YOU DO XIPHALLUS?

I'M READY FOR MY NEXT DRESSING DOWN, PRIVATE PYLE.
MAKE IT SNAPPY THOUGH, PRIVATE. GOTTA BRING AUNTIE TITBAG HIS TEA. -
but you can't be me for reasons outside of your horrendous personal hygien, paste eating creatinism and your massive bone crushing weight. its simply that I am better then you on every concievable level, both objective and subjective, and by every measurable standard there is was and will every be. I am your world because I rule you like you want to be ruled. Don't despair sporto! keep on TRYING! don't stop someday you might achieve something maybe, I don't know, probably not.
-
and your continued failure at everything. I enjoy watching you try and do something after I beat you like the red haired step child you are. I beat you like a drum, like a rented mule and there is not anything you can do about but stamp your feet and yell like a the baby boi you are. Fail again sweet boy but you're used to that so its no big deal for you right tiger?keep dancing to my tune my little organ grinder monkey, I own you. Cheers sweetie!
-
I want to send you something from the new A frame line at Mellons to ease the pain of the beating I gave you.

by xiphos_2
the goverment cheese at the chav house isn't doing you any favors sport.
-
you would kill yourself because your love of me would go unrequited. Tainty sailors wear white hats they are diffrent group of service people. YOU FAIL again you streak is still intact my little puppy. Now furiously dance some more to my sweet music tiger.
-
is fun because you are an easy target. Your worship and fear of me makes you seek out my attention so its quite simple to swat you like a flea.Congrats, sport, your longing and fear leads to you to make some of most simple minded posts ever on AICN. The sputtering fear I induce in you is visible in your sweet little posts.
-
You would not even be considered since we have high standards you couldn't possibly reach. The Navy, on the other hand, has you written all over it. You would look so swell in that cute sailors outfit little buddy.
-
to all my personal attention?
-
I figured you would be back for more with your mouth open wide. You furiously tried to work your half hard half incher to my name but couldn't get past Xi....ohhhhhh....then you wiped that thin jizz off on your bobba fett tshirt.

...YOU CAN GET BUSY REVISING THAT SHITE WAR FILMS LIST YOU VOMITED UP.
YOUR CHOICE. -
"YOU CAN GET BUSY REVISING THAT SHITE WAR FILMS LIST YOU VOMITED UP."
So, you are claiming to be more knowledgeable than an active Marine who is currently serving overseas? Talk about delusional. Xi has no need to revise his list, it was based on a criteria he established and followed. You, on the other hand, continue to talk out of your ass with an expertise you don't possess (regarding the military or films).
The point is TAINT, you jumped into this by attacking his list, and now that the fact comes up that Xiphos is an ACTUAL Marine, an actual soldier. you are trying to save face by being belligerent. You want to point out how flawed his list is, bring up your own list and make the argument WHY they are better than his and why they are a better depiction of war. Guess what, you can't because you have never been in combat before.
Xi doesn't have to pwn you because every time you type something you pwn yourself. But of course, the entire point of this is just to get a reaction from people so they will respond to your stupid comments. That has always been the point because in the real world you are a pathetic loser you know one pays attention to, Only here on these forums can you get any attention.
So every time you post, you just prove how damn pathetic you are. Keep clamoring for Xi's attention TAINT... -
Christ. Xi reamed him out. Brilliantly, he's accusing me of stealing his username. Why the fuck would I want to do that?
-
Free tickets. Black Dynamite Premiere was tonight as well, but I was only invited to the party and not the screening (thanks a fucking lot Sony).

And I am seeing a screening of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
by continentalop
Tomorrow night.
So at least I had a couple of fun things to do this week while I am broke, waiting for clients to pay up.
I need to became more like the mob and start breaking thumbs. -
That would explain his fascination with Xi- he spends his time staring at the sea and cursing the fact he was too stupid to join the navy- even as a sexual outlet for long marooned submarine sailors.
-
I still think either the lifeforce review or the sleepaway camp ones were my best. I'm still trying to remember what else was on that contemporary fiction course. I'm sure there was something good.
-
Top book. I was thinking about it last night, and it really is very well done. Unadaptable, so some twat is sure to try.
-
Disgrace- which was a superb book. The Eye in The Door which was crap. I'm still missing a few. The truly offensively bad books off that list were God of Small Things, Noise, Trumpet, and The Ice People.
-
the first book is OK, but nothing more, Eye in the Door is mediocre at best and The Ghost Road is dismal.
-
Now I can't stop thinking about Trumpet. WHAT A LOAD OF FUCKING PRETENTIOUS LEFT WING SHIT. I remember the lecturer we had that said in the lecture on that book "There's no such thing as gender because male sea horses can give birth". I hate this sort of wooly thinking.
-
I guess that explains his dislike/infatuation with the military. He kept letting recruits on weekend leave fuck him in the ass because they said they loved him. But getting donkey punched for the 11th time in succession just broke his little heart.
-
Public Enemies. But as I was slightly shitfaced watching it I barely remember anything in the middle hour or so. So I don't think a review for the site would be wise.
-
that just leaves Motel Hell, Basket Case 1-3 and P&P&Zombies. Brilliantly Lovefilm have sent me Monster in the closet (which is where I stole my avatar from) and Head Cheerleader Dead Cheerleader, so I've got some new stuff to do next week.
-
Danny was sad enough, but this is just feeble.
-
screenshots from DVD's. Which is pretty fucking cool.
-
The mess makes me so angry.
-
They've replaced the I with l. Why the fuck would anyone bother to imitate that assclown.
-
people are strange.
-
*phew* nearly there now.
-
Izzat like being from a Metal Jug Band from Newport News?! say WHat-?!
-
hehehehe
-
Does anyone actually want this?
-
sent you an email.
Also, are you guys using tags on your articles? Thats the way you will actually get others coming in to look at it. -
Thoughts on Expendables? Me, it's exactly what I expected: shitload of action stars in an 80's type action flick. Old school, like Eddie Shore.
-
because it's the archive stuff. For Monster in My Closet I am.
-
I'm mildly looking forward to it.
-
is she still in the movie?
It looks like throwaway fun. Like Oceans 11 with 80s action stars. But honestly, when Dolph Lundgren picks up Jet Li over his head...y'know a movie like this has been a long time coming. -
I despise the Ocean's films.
-
the Ocean's movies. Sure, it's got a big cast of famous/semi-famous dudes, but I think the enjoyment factor on the Expendables will be much higher.
-
are just so horribly smug. Ocean's 12 has one of my top 10 hated moments of cinema in it- Julia Roberts pretending to be Julia Roberts with Bruce Willis in attendance.
-
Oct 14, 2009 7:23:31 AM CDT
Oceans 12 is a fucking cunt of a movie
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
If it were a person I'd bash that self-congratulatory expression of it's smug fucking face. If you get my drift...
-
Goatfuckerlives thinks Taintlick is like Dr. Gregory House. Words fail me.
-
Finally people are waking up to the fact that that massive cunt Damien Hirst is a talentless prick.
-
The Oceans movies were an ensemble dedicated to smug-ass heist flicks...except it was more driven by who was in the film. So Clooney, Pitt, Gould, etc...you get that self-congratulatory thing.
I mean Oceans 11 was a less a movie and more an excuse to hang out with those guys--all brought together as some kind of 'ultimate pairing'. Yes, the filmmaking will be different and the result, but I feel like to your average audience member, that's what they will see. It's a bunch of guys with a really loose plot tying it together. I couldnt think of a similar film where that happened, soI used Oceans as an example.
With this it will be just a bunch of guys smashing faces, flexing and dumping one liners. -
in no particular order, but these are all moments that have me diving for the remote control to turn the fucking thing off: The aforementioned moment in Ocean's 12 The dinner party scene in Notting Hill. A group of smug cunts sitting round a smug cunt table in one of the smuggest cuntiest places in the universe comparing who has the most misreable life. FUCK OFF Anakin Skywalker riding the space potato in Attack of The Clones. Shia Lebeouf's Parents thinking he's having a wank while GIANT ROBOTS congregate in his garden and no cunt notices Superman's son twatting a henchman with a piano but being unable to open a fucking door. Giovanni Ribilsi's monologue about his mother in SPR. Any of Forrest Gump, but in particular teaching Elvis to dance. The end of War of The Worlds. "I'm the Juggernaut Bitch" The end of 4 Weddings and a Funeral: "Is it raining?" FUCK OFF.
-
take the original Oceans 11, cast those same guys from Expendables
and it's more or less The Expendables. They determine--like Pitt and Damon and Clooney--the course of the movie, not anything else. -
wow, they all suck but I barely think on any of them. I guess I can see the Four Weddings ending, but then I would call of Four Weddings one of the most hated moments in cinema.
Same for Forrest Gump.
-
OCEAN'S EXPENDABLES!!! Which may or may not include the scene where Dolph pretending to be Dolph stabs Julia Roberts pretending to be Julia Roberts in the neck. I'm leaning towards 'may'.
-
*all* of
-
to be Julia Roberts so he could stab bruce willis in the neck for not being in the movie.

Oct 14, 2009 7:47:04 AM CDT
A big fan of Richard Curtis then Jarv?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
hehe
-
I HATE HATE HATE Notting Hill...especially that "Im just a girl asking a boy who acts like a girl if he will put up with my indecisive self-centered ass for ten more minutes until the movie ends and then we never have to look at each other again"
-
but a select group of cunts think he's good.
-
There are plenty more. Like A Virgin in Moulin Rouge, for example. I could go on. I admit the ones I put up are pretty generic, but they're probably the worst offenders due to the exposure those films have.
-
See- Blackadder was brilliant. 4 Weddings was crap. Notting Hill was worse. Love Actually was offensively bad and I refuse to watch the Boat that sucked cock. What the fuck happened to him? I've just thought of another- Sliding Doors. The opening credits.
-
Fuck Tarantino. These are all just horrible moments without the benefit of being amusing.
-
I have to profess to liking that one a little bit.
-
Really, really hated it. Hated it so much that I swore that was the last time Curtis would get me. It was just soooooo fucking nauseating. Even by his usual standards.
-
Oct 14, 2009 8:13:39 AM CDT
In no particular order... I hate them all...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
1. “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy…” scene in Notting Hill 2. The Skaw-ttish bloke in Speed 2 counting down the speedometer as the cruise ship inches it’s way through the town that seems to have been built actually ON the water. 3.Pfeiffer’s embarrassing acting during her god awful hysterical crying monologue in The Story of Us 4. Roberts playing Roberts in Oceans 12 5. Frodo incorporating spaghetti into his love-making in The Oxford Murders. It has to be seen to be believed. 6. The one line of dialogue at the end that ruins what could’ve been a great sequel (because the actual book has brilliant sequel) to Primal Fear. 7. Diesel yelling “Yo embawwassing me!” or Walker mumbling “I like the tuna here” in The Fast and the Furious.
8. “Now imagine she’s white!” 9. Diesel shaking with rage in XXX. 10. Any 3 minute section of Charlies Angels 1 or 2. Choose a 3 minute section and that’s in my Top 10. -
Frodo and Spaghetti and The Story of Us. looks like I dodged that well.
-
2. The Skaw-ttish bloke in Speed 2 counting down the speedometer as the cruise ship inches it’s way through the town that seems to have been built actually ON the water for the purposes of having a cruise ship crash into it.
-
I like those movies, best music videos ever made.
-
??? Whats that from? The Oxford Murders never heard of this, but he was shit in that Jewish movie.
-
My wife hates that as well.
-
What do you all think? Did anyone pop wood like me?
-
You take that back Jarv, that’s probably one of the top ten greatest cinematic achievements known to man. Fuck that movie, but in that one moment we finally saw the best realization of a comic book character brought to the screen.
-
Rom Coms. I usually watch them and never think about them again.
-
Has anyone else seen this thing?
-
A Time To Kill. It is pretty awful.
-
Getting Land of the Lost not How to Be a Serial Killer. The wife wants to see it, and I haven't rented a movie she wanted to watch in a while. I'm hoping for some silly stupid fun.....last time I thought that I ended up getting gagged and bagged and gang raped in a van in the parking lot, dumped out of the back of the van while it was moving. Aka Year One.

Never seen, 1996.

Some favorite moments... so as not to dwell on the negative
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
George kissing Lorraine which stops Marty fading from existence and the subsequent Johnny Be Good sequence in Back to the Future. The end fight in Rocky. "Adrian!" Berenger bunting while Snipes scores the winning run at the end of Major League. "No one can eat 50 eggs." Lemmon coming home from his date in Some Like it Hot "You're fucked." from Planes Trains and Automobiles. "Is it too early for flapjacks?" from Groundhog Day "Good news Mrs Nordberg, we can save your husbands arm. Where would you like it sent?" from The Naked Gun "We ain't found shit!" from Spaceballs. I could go on forever here... so I won't!
-
Oh. My. God. I know nothing about the character, but that line made me squirm with embarrassment. Other terrible moments: Sex Scene in Turdmen. Sex Scene in Munich Pretty much all of TPM bar the lightsaber fight at the end Beating dinosaur with gymnasics in Lost World Robin Williams rapping in German in Father's Day, proving once and for all that he is a complete cunt Patch Adams. All of it. Keanu Reeves doing Shakespeare. There's a lot out there.
-
is quite amusing actually. It's a very weird sense of humour. It wasn't what I was expecting and it was better than I expected.
-
Oct 14, 2009 8:39:05 AM CDT
Pretty much all of TPM bar the lightsaber fight at the end
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I also like the pod race. Apart from that and the end fight, it's complete shit.
-
"Hallo, My Name is Inigo Montoya. You kill my father, prepare to die" Pretty much all of Flash Gordon, but especially the American Football game at the beginning. Michael Caine setting a geezer straight with "You're a big man, but you're out of shape. For me it's a full time profession" Dropping Sienna Miller on her ass and telling her to get over herself at the end of Stardust. Any of Lifeforce. Slapping a dwarf in In Bruges. Farrel's confession at the end of Phone Booth. I've tried to go for slightly unpredictable ones there.
-
On IFC this next week! Sweet.
-
which is, frankly, the greatest thing ever filmed. It doesn't matter what anyone else ever attempts, nothing will ever be as good as that.

Well there you go, then you don't know how perfect it all was. The whole Juggernaut role was perfect. The whole X-Men series is perfectly casted such a fucking waste. The only one who's odd is Magneto, but McKellen was so good it didn't matter. He was just a little too old looking. He looks a little to frail compared to Jean Luc.
-
Shit Droid likes it. May as well just send it back before it even gets here.
-
The decapitation in the omen. The way the head spins when the plane of glass takes it off is great. Brando explaining that he isn't a polack but an American in Streetcar. The end of Harvey. All of Kind Hearts and Coronets. The squid in Oldboy The old lady with the scissors in Lady Vengeance Fixing the Bridge in Daisy The montage in Team America When he goes into the diner in Duel An offer he couldn't refuse.
-
Hell no that movie is god awful. I'll take him in The Final Cut or One Hour Photo, both are better movies but still not good movies. They all pretty much suck. But man him in Insomnia was complete shit. He redid that same character for an episode of SVU, which was better then Insomnia despite its shit ending.
-
Insomnia, One Hour Photo and Dead Poets are, however, acceptable.
-
the structure and use of colour in it, Williams performance, the mother's performance, the atmosphere, the score. That's a right fucking film.
-
And I like Awakenings. Didn't think much of One Hour Photo.
-
Last 20 minutes of Rambo The death Montage from Groundhogs day To Infinity and Beyond My name, chek check, is Horace The rules that you can't break with Gizmo Crane Kick on the beach I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue/shit hits the fan/just kidding/I just want to let you know that we are all counting on you Are you aiming for these people?

The end of The (original) Vanishing The pool scene in Let The Right One In "There's a spider on ya head!" and Robbins with his feet on fire on Nothing to Lose. Probably the funniest use of a song i've seen. Picking up the hitchhiker in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas I need to stop now
-
"You're a fucking evil shot, rents" Rules in a knife fight in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. The 2 grannies crying on a bench at the end of Requiem The "bitch" scene in Aliens Lawyer eaten on crapper in JP "Hail to the King Baby" This is fun. And quite cheerful.
-
Fucking biggest issue with that movie, is that its the fucking cure for it. Same with One Hour Photo and The Final Cut. Something about Robin Williams thrillers are just god damn boring. One Hour Photo I think is the only one were he is not to blame, he's amazing in that movie I blame the lame story that unfolds. Wasn't dark enough, he's cheating on his wife boo-hoo. I need to see it again though. He should have directed Wolfman, boo-hoo! Williams for me, The World According to Garp, Death To Smootchy, All his voice work (Robots/Happy Feet/Aladdin), Jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Fisher King and Toys being my favorite. The Birdcage, Deconstructing Harry, What Dreams May Come, Hook and Bicentennial Man I'd have to watch again. Bi Man I watched it WAY after it came out on DVD and I thought that it would be shit and I remember enjoying it. I guess I had low expectations and was not what I expected at all.
-
Should be seeing that this week, I hope its good!
-
Oh god. That's one shit film.

especially Mrs. Doubtfire. Birdage is also awful, as is Hook, BM, What Dreams, Toys and many, many others. He's been in about 4 films that I can stand. The real problem with Insomnia is that the original destroys it.
-
Had nothing to do with Death to Smootchy, and he did write Gremlins and Goonies. Though I wonder how much is his and how much is Spielberg's/Donner/Dante.

Dangerous "sport" to get involved in. -
So how did Ms. Elizabeth die?
-
I think Pro-Wrestlers have such a high mortality rate because of: A) the size of the guys (it can't be healthy to be 400+ pounds) and B) the lack of drug testing. I mean besides roids, the guys take pain-killers to ease the soreness and pain they inflict on each other, and a bunch of uppers to get going because they have such a hectic schedule. I once walked into a bathroom to see Rick Flair snorting a huge line of coke, so I can imagine many of them are huge drug heads.
I got to give Flair credit, he was polite enough to offer me a bump. -
Not Beyond the Mat, something else thats suppose to be really good. I thought it was about Bret Hart, but all I can find is : The Bret Hart Story: The Best There Is, Was, and Ever Will Be And that just looks like a greatest hits tape, but it may be it.

Pretty good documentary, but because it is about a "fake" sport, I don't know how much of that documentary is "faked" as well. I guess that is a problem with being in a profession where you always lie about your past and your personal life.

Goes to Roddy Piper and Keith David in THEY LIVE. I figure Roddy Pipers bg as Pro-Wrestler, plus the fact he was an amateur wrestler, Golden Gloves Boxing Champ and has a Black Belt in Judo, helped him stage such a great fight; but what I want to know is how-the-hell Keith managed to pull it off. He was awesome in that fight scene.

She was such a cutie
-
From Wikipedia, Elizabeth Ann Hulette (November 19, 1960 – May 1, 2003), best known as Miss Elizabeth, regarding her death:
On May 1, 2003, in Marietta, Georgia, Luger called 9-1-1 from his home and reported that Elizabeth was not breathing. She did not respond to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and paramedics rushed her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Luger's phone call was later aired on an episode of WWE Confidential. It is alleged that Elizabeth and Luger were taking mixed pills of hydrocodone and alprazolam (Xanax) with vodka, although there was no talk of Elizabeth having prior history of this behavior or habit. Luger was arrested later that day after a search of the residence revealed a number of illicit controlled substances, including anabolic steroids, OxyContin, synthetic growth hormone, testosterone, and alprazolam. He was charged with 14 drug possession counts, 13 of them felonies. Luger pled guilty to the charges on February 3, 2005. He was given a $1,000 fine, and sentenced to 5 years probation.

I mean, it is pro-sports writ large. There is no doubt who the good guy is, or who is the bad guy, and who you should root for. Unlike actual pro-sports, were the idea of who to cheer for is just based on geography. And every "contest" is down to the wire, and incredible comebacks - it is like if every football game was the 1993 playoff game between the Bills and Oilers.
But once you become an adult, or even a teenager, to still follow pro-wrestler as anything other than a minor interest is just crazy. It is like you are stuck in child phase, or in serious denial about your latent homosexuality - and this coming from a man who likes comic books. -

Harry Potter 6 and Observe and Report. Potter was ok. But it does suffer from the fact that it's the second last chapter. And I'll try not to reveal a MAJOR SPOILER, so skip to the next paragraph if you haven't seen it and don't want to know, but the death of a major character was so downplayed that I have to believe that the character will be around for the next one. It also sufferred from trying to cram what is a ridiculously big book into 2 1/2 hours. Some scenes felt majorly truncated. Observe and Report was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. It's pretty fucked up and I'll give Rogen credit for playing a character thats a complete cunt.

I'm tempted to decamp to werewolves on the moon- as I can't be asrsed to find a new twitch topic and this thread is approaching 2K. Mavra's hung up her pen and so I think we should use her bit as a general TB bit.

Didn't bother to follow it. Rush is a POS as you well know, if the guy opts to spout enough racist shite then sure, the 80% of the NFL (which is black) the man is slagging, prob. isn't gonna wanna play for the man. Pretty simple. He should try a little less Oxcy I'm thinking. AND MORE ROBOT LIONS!
-
Yeah that's it in a nutshell. Personally?? I think Rush Deserves Daniel Snyder and Al Davis, but that's me.
-
I can't believe he's anywhere near owning a team
-
Just so anti-climactic, especially when you consider that you've spent 6 movies (i haven't read past half of four) with the character. I just felt nothing more than a kind of "huh!" reaction when it happened. Don't spoil anything about the last book please. I've successfully avoided every cunt and his dog trying to blabber the details of the last couple of books. I don't really care that much, it's become more about the challenge of avoiding the details than anything else.
-
So giving away plotlines etc doesn't faze me. It's the equivalent to: The Big Blue Giant Robot DIES-then comes back-and beats the ugly, Red Giant Robot? Really?
-
-Rush has as much a chance of owning the Rams now as I do-
-
I have no idea
-
I won't. Not about the Hermione spit roast that harry and Ron pull in a tent in the Forest of Dean. Or Malfoy savagely cornholing dobby for being a bad elf.
-
and then say "oh what a lovely tea party" To be honest, book 6 may as well have been called "Harry Potter and the sordid wank fantasy of his mate's sister with a bit of back story for Voldemort" Dull does not begin to cover it.

Rather sad.

Voldemort was fucking reduced to a skull shaped rain cloud! "Ooh... look it's the dark lord he that shall not be named! What ever shall we do?" Um, start by putting up a fucking brolly, dipshit.
-
aside from the very beginning. It's bullshit. Harry furiously pounding his pillow while thinking of his mate's little sister is in, however. And then jamming his tongue down her throat while having a quick grope of her jublies in front of said best mate is as well. Loadashite.

I would've called his section...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Frankie's Colostomy Bag because of his penchant for shit.
-
It was a very deep moving story about the trials and tribblations of being a young boy in a man's world and trying to do what was right whilst fighting off sexual urges. Something that Skank Trek would know nothing about. I saw it as a comments on our society with the shadow of Voldermount much like the current economic downturn. in a way the deatheaters were accountants i guess. it was a very viscarel movie.Some do not like Harry Potter and are unable to see these depths like i am. These are the Skank Trek appologists. What fucking fuck ass men they are!
-
I wish I'd thought of Frank's colostomy bag.
-
Because I don't think he likes Harry Potter. He does like Top Gear though. Maybe Clarkson has hidden depths when masturbating furiously over an E-type Jaguar that were not previously suspected.
-
Although I prefer the title Jarv used.Speaking of shit, I was considering a complete epic Halloween review for Halloween, but that's a lot of (mostly shit) films to watch in the next 16 days. Not sure I'm up to that.
-
There's postings of his right after LiveAsimov over in the 'New Jack Ryan' thread. Quite funny, actually.
-
1 is a classic, 2 is ok but responsible for all the sister shit. 3 is bugnuts crazy and epic 4 is shit 5 is shit H20 is meh Busta Rhymes is shit Remake 1 is shit Remake 2 is bound to be shit. I don't know that out of 9 films it's possible to persevere with 5 shit ones, 2 meh ones, 1 entertaining bugnuts one, and 1 classic- especially when from 4 on it's just a parade of shit punctuated by a single solitary meh.

I think this is still one of the funniest passage any of us has
by lost jarv
written: "It’s one of two things – years of toil on a children’s book (Stabby The Monkey) only to have it rejected by every publisher in the world, or possibly a homosexual relationship with Colonel Troutman that ended badly – but unless someone does a comic or an animated film to fill in the blanks, we will never know how that bug crawled so far up our hero’s ass. Either way, John Rambo is in his most murderous mood yet when the time comes to head out on the latest date of his tour of destruction."

Real man can deal with anybody who they diagree and don't like and ignorare them if they can't stand them. You are acting like a child, not a man. Man up, kid." Guess who?
-
Which is why he needs to write more epic "athon" reviews. I want Frankies Colostomy Bag filled to the brim!
-
I love the first one, the third one is entertainingly strange, and H20 is okay (it does have LL Cool J in it). The rest are garbage, although it does make me laugh when Busta Rhymes tries to kung fu Michael Myers in Resurrection.That's a lot of garbage, even for me, and I have a pretty high tolerance for garbage.

I'll forward the proceeds to Oporto.

And since I hadn't seen it in a long time, I sort of dismissed those that said it was better than Blade II. I stand corrected. I can totally see how someone would like the first one better than the second. I may try and watch the second one again tonight, but I think what makes the first one good is there really isn't any dilly-dallying. It's a pretty tight movie. Now what I don't remember is how Whistler is still alive in the second one, do they explain it? Guess maybe I'll find out tonight.

BLOOD RAIN!!!! I was once at a club in J-burg a bit off my tits on E. At about 9AM they opened the roof and the sun poured in, when the song reached it's peak they whacked the sprinklers on. It was awesome.

You might want to take a look at the avengers thread, someone is slagging Cap.
-
That thread is excruciating.
-
where are you, you lazy git? Have the home office finally deported you?
-
that opening is actually creepy, sort of anxiety inducing at first, and really grimy--like 70s style grimy--and then bam, Snipes is there wasting vampires and what not, and well, it set the stage for something classic. Which isn't exactly what we got. Still, I find no fault with Blade until the last third when the mother revelation and the La Magra fx just sort of bust the whole thing apart.

Jarv, get to lovefilms and add this. It aint' brilliant, but it's at least as good as some of the crap you usually watch and better than alot of it.

Anyhoo, I've got Dead Snow at home. Haven't watched it yet. I just thought that we could do a live chat review thing like Jonah's done before, but then I remembered you live in the fucking middle ages and don't have the interweb at home. So that kills that idea.
-
Blade for me is the best superhero movie ever made. From start to finish. It had everything I have asked for in a superhero movie. Awesome action. Very good storyline. Believable plot and dialogue. Action. More action. And to top it off, it was an origin story as well.

"Paddington." "Hello Paddington. I'm Jarv. Do you like marmalade?" "Yes, very much!" "Well do you see this? If you hold on to it and shake it as quickly as you can then marmalade will come out! Doesn't that sound exciting!?" YOUR'E A DIRTY FUCKER, JARV!
-
then my IT nerd neighbour worked out that someone in the building was robbing his wifi so started password protecting it.
-
Yeah I agree, Blade starts off so good its all sort of down hill from there.
-
Sure, it was unneeded and really did add any 'weight' to the climax, but it certainly did not detract from the movie. And I know what you are saying Jonah, about the fx when Frost gets sliced in half, but that was really the only bad shot (okay, maybe his hand too), but it didn't jolt me out of the movie at all.

1 and 2 were fun childs stuff, kind of like 80s fantasy movies like Never Ending Story. 3 is actually a good movie. 4 was complete shit in every way. Just stupid and cliche and just so lame. The jokes in Shrek are more mature and funnier then Harry Potter 4. 5 was ok, Rupert Grint needs to be put to the flames, the action was just kind of weird and uninteresting. 6 looks just like 5. I hate how everone talks about HOW DARK HP6 is, LIKE EWWW its pitch black! I mean with how childish that whole series is, one of the characters saying DANG! makes it all of the sudden seem NC-17 in comparison.
-
What I really think hurts Blade is finding the "cure" for Vampirism. Ain't no cure for that shit.

Your last post didn't make any sense! And for some reason it made it funnier.

I promise you the cunt drives speedboats and does other stuff that's totally daft. I just took it to it's extreme.

The Darkness factor in HP comes from increasing body count
by toadkillerdog
The first two books were simply magical childish wonder young adult fiction. As she matured as a writer, and as the characters aged, she started adding themes of angst (way too much)foreboding and sullenness which did not exist in the first two books or the first two movies. The first two movies were too literal to really be enjoyed for more than just the eye-candy factor of the world of HP brought to life. Rather boring flicks in the Watchmen mode. But without a doubt the third movie kicked major ass.
-
Droid and Jarv have elevated shrewish old woman bickering to an art form here. If only MOM and the like could abandon the Masterpiece Theater 365 word Oscar Wilde slurs for down-and-dirty harping.
-
I was half way through flaming assfuckerlives and dashed it off quickly without thinking about it. As soon as I hit post, I cursed as I'd already used Skippy a second ago.
-
I think it did the best job since the third film of making everything successful as a movie and not just as a visual companion for the HP readers. Some things were definitely muted, but I think they solved alot of the problems that the 6th book had, namely the bloat and lack of cohesion the HalfBlood Prince had in print form.

Why the 3rd Potter was so good, in comparison
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's made by a talented director. The book it's based on is still a reasonabe length. Therefore the core story is easily adaptable. They jettisoned a lot of the horseshit detail that the talentless cunt Colombus kept in the first two. It's got a great core story, great characters, especially Sirius Black and the Dementors. It's got a Werewolf. It's got David Thewlis. It's got a Werewolf PLAYED by David Thewlis. It's dark, but not too angst ridden. None of the characters have that "special" feeling for each other. It's actually quite exciting when Potter does the expeliamus (or whatever it is) spell. The kids are almost able to act now. It's the first that's interesting to look at, instead of the bubblegum confection of the first two. Very little Quidditch.
-
Yeah after 3 they thought they could act, and Rupert got left in the dust by everyone else. Poor mentally ill ginger.
-
I guess people go overboard since they are kids films. But every review I read about HP6 always tried to make it seem like any R rated film, even darker and how it wasn't for little kids. It was fucking annoying.

-
OK- Droid stop reading now. The body count does rise dramatically in the last book, however she didn't kill (with one exception) any major good character that I wanted her to kill, there are predictable twists galore and the end doesn't make any sense at all.
-
That a little kid, maybe about 8-10 years old, would enjoy the first few a lot more than the last couple. It's fine for us, or for kids who grew along with the movies or books, but for a kid now, at that age, trying to watch HP6, I do think it's not suitable. I'll explain it like this. If I wanted to distract an 8 year old for two hours I wouldn't put it in from of HP6. I'd put it in front of The Incredibles or something like that. I just can't imagine the newer flicks being of any interest to someone that age.
-
long time no see- how's things?

Yeah we missed a lot. That was actually fun, and most unusual for us as we most often just bitch about flicks. So it was good to talk about what we liked.

I'm getting sick of all this Ironman/Avengers/Captain/Thor talk. I just don't care, and actually really don't read those comics. They are just boring characters to me. I've heard good stuff about Thor right now, and Ironman is actually interesting character I just don't get how he's one of the most powerful characters. The whole super smartness of him is fucking ridiculous at times.
-
It's not the violence. It's the tone of it. It's gone from a more lighthearted series to almost deadly serious. It's not as fun, and as a little kid, I doubt I would want to watch it. Maybe it's just me. But I remember watching stuff like Commando, Red Heat, Raw Deal when I was 8-10. My dad rented them for me because I loved them.

WTWTA finally went up.
-
My life is a smoking ruins right now so I'm just trying to get from one day to the next.I miss the days when this group actually dissected the crap out of films. Our top ten lists by year, favorite soundtracks, favorite quotes.
-
what are the chances of getting a film with Norton, Downey and whoever else where one of them is a goofy demi-god? Shit idea.
-
Yeah thats what I thought, that critics are confussing DARK with SERIOUS. Like the last movie was just dull, because these kids weren't having fun, there was no sense of adventure/excitment. Hermione is that annoying girl that freaks out about getting a B+ and Harry is just fucking confused about anything, and Grint is a metally handicap person.
-
Why's it "good"? Because it's negative? I haven't read it, but I know the others on this site have been positive. So I'm assuming this one is negative.
-
For Captain America. If he is going to LEAD The Avengers, they need someone bigger then RDJ and Norton in that role. They backed themselved in a corner with Cap if they end up getting some nobody.
-
IM is my favorite comic book character, and has been since the Michelinie/Layton days over 30 years ago - dang I am getting old! IM has always been powerful -really powerful. But it was not until that 'oh my heart, my heart I gotta find a plug fast or i'm gonna croak! wheres my extension cord?' horseshit was removed and he was freed from using an electrical outlet when his batteries ran down, that his true greatness appeared. His power comes from being able to boost his armor to near or even Hulk levels. In fact 30 years ago, he was able to knock Hulk the fuck out! Although it took a heavy toll. Today, he is even more powerful. Now, while he can not match an enraged Hulk - who can?
-
As the nights draw in we'll talk more about films and less about other stuff. This constant desire to see an Avengers/ JLA film is just fanboy wankery- "Wouldn't it be ,like, supercool, yknow, if we could get X-team made up of dream cast together to kick ass in a film" You end up with Watchmen when you follow fanboy wankery.
-
While since I haven't seen it, and maybe Mass just "didn't get it". I'm just glad not to see an unanimous decision about a film.
-
The whole alcoholic problem is interesting. I just think now he's gotten stale and they aren't doing much with him. The whole Super Hero registration act made him seem like a dick as well, turning Cap into the cool bad ass.
-
Oct 15, 2009 9:39:01 AM CDT
An Avengers or JLA flick would be very difficult
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
to do well. There's so many characters, you'd almost have to do it Traffic-style. A multi-story flick that interconnects. But then again, that probably wouldn't work either.
-
ignore.

and you can keep finding moments forever...yours are good ones. How bout some best asian cinema bits?

-
as far as I understand it's about the team and the teamwork. That's why every idea has been garbage like "batman is villain due to misunderstanding- team take turns on wonder woman's ass before they realise it's all been a terrible mistake and have group hugs."
-
because people kept bitching that they were reptitive and boring so I stopped instigating them--made the boards stale or soemthing.
-
I do fear a clusterfuck of Watchmen proportions if fanboy wishes are followed on that movie. And to be honest the Avengers where never my favorite team. The FF and XMen were my faves. Avengers kicked ass when they did the big cosmic storylines, otherwise, it was just too much power to be dealing with Paste pot Pete.

-
I can't remember what was happening the lists were always a great debating starter over stuff we'd forgotten. They've never really gone away for good- we still do them every now and again, it's just more freestyle
-
we got them individually and ages ago. TKD: The X-men works as a team film, because it isn't full of alpha characters like JLA. I mean for fuck's sake, you've got to build a film with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, that martian cunt, that gay cunt with the magic ring, the flash and whoever else. It's too congested. Whereas with X-men you've only really got a few Alpha characters, but lots of support.
-
The Michelinie/Layton books where the apex of IM. Demon in a Bottle IM 128, just a stellar achievement. But it was everything that led up to that issue that made it great, and everything after it as well - until Michelinie/Layton left the book. The secondary characters were vibrant. Even the minor ones like Mrs Arbogast felt fully realized. Tony Stark and IM were distinct characters. It was a whole world of magnificently plotted stories and well written and characters done by artists and creators that had something invested in it. IM before Michelinie/Layton kind of lurched along. There were some high points like when Starlin briefly appeared, but the early to mid 70's were horrible. The Johny Craig issues from the late sixties where tremendous as well. Yes, I own all of those. Still have them boxed away. BUt when that asshile Denny O[Neil took over, he threw away all of that history. Just completely discarded it. He fucked IM up so badly I stopped reading it. And I have read only a few issues of that civil war tripe. Making Stark sec of defense? Turning Stark into some right wing reactionary? No. Just bullshit.
-
The Xmen (the films anyway) works because theres a heirarchy. In both the good guys and the bad guys there's the boss, the two or three major characters, then the minions that get a brief look in. JLA or Avengers will have 6+ major characters to work around.
-
one extra man. One character is going to end up alone holding his dick.
-
They worked really well when we had a full compliment of CoC'ers to create and debate. I think it was Jonah and Fred who kept coming up with the ideas. It has been a while so I am sure it would seem fresh again. 1982 the greatest year ever for sci fi/geek/action oriented movies. I will go all Asi on anyone who disputes this! Just kidding about the Asi part. Jarv, yeah I agree. A JLA moviw will be very difficult, but not impossible though. They way it was resolved in the magnificent DC animated movie - and DC really kicks ass in the animated line, was to remove Superman from the equation for most of the movie.
-
Is, who's going to fucking fight them? Like how is there every any conflict? Its like what they say about sports films, everyone loves the underdog stories. But in real sports everyone just wants the best team and for them to kick everyones ass. I mean no one wants to see a movie about the Yankees spending a bunch of money and then just kicking everyones ass. Like how do battles in the Avengers last more then 5 minutes?

What did you think? I thought it was fun, worth seeing. Also anyone notice a lack of that No Diggity guy? Remember him when DMTH was out? Spamming all the threads telling people to see it? I still say he was some tempt or something for the movies production company. Whose since been fired.
-
MELTDOWN!!!!
-
fuck Raimi. Fuck PG13 horror.
-
Makes sense he'd be in there, should've figured that out. I just couldn't care about that story. Jack Ryan bores me.
-
Is really a lot of fun. Its no where near how good they are saying. But it's one of the better horror movies I've seen recently, its just a fun silly ride, with a decent amount of gross. The lack of Bruce Campbell is stupid, he easily could have been three characters in the movie. Its like a silly cheesy 80s horror movie. Don't think about Evil Dead and you'll enjoy it.
-
I love it when this happens. He's collapsed completely. I may need to find some song lyrics and bastardise them now.
-
for Raimi the man that did Evil Dead trilogy, to decline into Spidey 3 and then follow it with PG13 horror is wrong.
-
Spider-Man 3 was more the fault of studio meddling than Raimi declining.Drag Me To Hell is some top notch Raimi, and the rating is pretty much irrelevant. It's definitely worth a watch.

Assuming I've enough time after watching Lethal Weapon. Got to have that epic review done for Monday.

Hey, dude I have not seen any reports of Hulk Busting on Hulk Buster base or rampaging Lesbian Hulk midgets on the terrorizing and raping everyone in the oil seed rape fields in somerset. Are you slacking?
-
a hand in the Green Lantern script. This is priceless.
-
The lesbian Hulk midgets are strictly Bristol based, toad. They need concrete, sodium lights, and the constant smell of Indian food or they become too difficult to control.I can't imagine the chaos they'd cause if I let them loose in a bumpkin area like Somerset.The horror... The horror.Oh, and I'm always slacking. ALWAYS.
-
where is that.

You should be all over that Frankie!
-
Keep it up. You are Jetts biggest 'fan', and he does not know how to properly react!

Whether he is actually delusional and believes he writes scripts or he is just making the shit up, it's quite hilarious.
-
That is what we want tos ee Frankie! Lesbian Hulk midgets terrorizing the bumpkins! Hell, they already live in an area called 'Rape Fields'. I assumed it was from when the Romans came'a calling way back when, Then I find out it is just another name for a turnip.
-
Enough already. What about fucking LAC??? Or Stepfather. Stepfather is probably fucked looking at the director, but LAC could be really cool. Has no one seen either?

no- it's like olive oil/ industrial lubricant. It stinks something chronic.

Ya, it is Canola. But the Latin origin is rapa or turnip
by toadkillerdog
Which reminds me of the truly great Blackadder episode where Baldrick somehow inherits or comes across an enormous fortune and Blackadder is licking his chops at swindling it from the easily manipulated Baldrick, only to find that someone beat him to it and Baldrick traded the fortune for a very large Turnip!

"The only movie I have ever taken back to the store and exchanged. I got Robert Zemeckis' Contact instead. Now there's a movie with some heady themes about "life, the universe and everything" that isn't just an endless, confusing, pretentious wank. God I hated The Fountain." Not that the Fountain is all that but it's about a million times better than contact.

Ally by myself. Again.

seminal and totally important, so periodically I see that Scream 2 is on TV and armed with fond memories of the first one, watch it. Then there's the cinema sequence, which is good. Then they get to college and I realise I'm actually watching Dawson's Crack. It's such shit.

I watched the first two episodes a while back and about halfway through the 2nd ep I decided that I wasn't going to bother. Which is a shame because I like Thomas Jane and it's a concept with potential.

Between the fucking banks, MP's and the economy sliding into the fucking toilet, I'm all for setting fire to the houses of Parliament and performing a wood chipper amputation on our ruling classes and the douchebag bankers. I've got a plan to fix the economy: War against someone we can beat quickly. Nothing fixes the economy like a good war, therefore I propose that we invade Portugal and put it to the sword. To ensure Spanish complicity, we promise to hand it over to them in exchange for enough Rioja to have a great party, but only if they promise to turn it into a landfill.
-
For a while there I thought they could do no wrong. Sopranos, Band of Brothers, Entourage, Curb, The Wire. But now they have shit like Hung myself, Bored To Tears and Poo Blood. Has there been a regime change in the past year or so?
-
The first one was good. Does it hit the wall fast, then? It's better than True Blood.
-
to be honest- that was one hell of a run. Then came Big Love which got dull fast and everything they do now seems to follow the same template. The Wire was the shit.

I did watch that one with the fat bloke from...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
all the will ferrell and seth rogen comedies. The one about the baseballer. That was mildly amusing. I'm only half way through the second season of the wire, but it is indeed "the shit".
-
Its Bored to Death. It has Jason Schwartzmann, the fat bloke from The Hangover and Ted Danson in it. I was expecting good things but it is in fact dull as dogshit. I've watched 3 eps. Most likely given up.

I'm up to season 3 of Smallville
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's not too bad that show. Not great, but an easy, entertaining distraction.
-
I'm in the Philippines, for a few more weeks.
-
Its pretty good but it doesn't reach the hights of greatness for me like it does everybody else.Morning Droid. Smallville is an alright show for like the first 3 season but then detours straight into dumbville. It sounds like this season isn't so bad though. Maybe getting new show runners helped.Top O' The morning to you Jarv. I forgot to say it in my other post.
-
Yeah, it's not bad. But I think that's the general concensus, that it gets a bit crap after the 3rd season. But I'll chip away at it and see how it goes.
-
Oct 16, 2009 4:07:18 AM CDT
I'm gonna have to pull my finger out
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
and write some reviews this weekend. It's just that the movies I've watched this week (Public Enemies, Observe and Report, Harry Potter 6) haven't inspired me to write about them.
-
After season 3 it turns into a crap show with like 2 or 3 decent episodes a season. The kid playing superboy does a good as job Clark Kent in my opinion.
-
The guy who plays supes isn't bad. The chick who plays Lana Lang annoys the shit out of me though.

Really good. Kirk Douglas was great.
-
Thread... too... fucking... slow... This... sucks...Morning... cunts...
-
I've not seen it, but I keep hearing that it's good. I'm sick of high concept TV (True Blood, Hung, and despite what frank says Dexter) that have an oh-so-fucking-clever idea but no clue as to how to execute it. Dexter is a case in point. The first series was fucking superb. Simply genius. The second series was atrocious dogshit. I don't want to see Dexter at a fucking NA meeting. I don't give a fuck about his dinner with his future mother in law. Get a fucking grip- this is not what we were watching it for.
-
I'm sorry, but I think it's complete wank. It's even worse when he moves to metropolis.
-
Fucking ridiculous. Twitch is now over 2 weeks late.
-
is a great high concept. Utterly squandered by the fucking tedium of dealing with the mundanity of Sookie's crap life, the trite telepathy, the fact that pretty much every character in it is either dull as shit or an irredeemable douchebag, piss poor Vampire effects and frankly risible personal conflict. Rubbish.
-
And that I only bothered w/ a couple episodes. I was on a real Hulu.com kick in the spring-hey 3 seasons of Simon and Simon? really? Cool! Sliders? Okay sure-- Watches a few of Those and thinks-Simon and Simon Yes, but Sliders-a little goes a long ways. I enjoyed wading thru the Kojaks too. Good fun, remember that show and those cars/clothes etc when I was a grade schooler. Lookie it's Laffalympics! I like the Spanish version-Ho Ho Olimpicos or whatever. Much fun....yes it takes very little to amuse me. So what's the next worthy movie that's coming out? John Cusack and 2012?
-
I like that.
-
and that was HBO
-
And it's sort of snowing right now. This is fucking ridiculous. What are we, Denver? Fuck!
-
Someone wrote in the Avengers thread as the title of a post: Better than Captain Portugal. Funny.
-
for portugal.
-
Quite....strange. I had flashbacks to Mirahurl and "to smell a man" with that going-back-and-forth.
-
Naw I've expressed the fact I don't really care about it either.
-
was one of the best pieces of tv I'd seen in ages.
-
No love for Deadwood? I liked Hung I saw like 3-4 episodes.
-
And it seems to be fun again. Modern family was funny as shit again this week. 30 Rock opener was a lot of fun. I don't think comedy has ever been this strong on TV. There are more then 2 shows on TV that are actually funny on 3 networks. Sorry CBS you got nothing for me, bring back Rules of Engagement and then we'll have something funny on all 4.
-
Seeing that neither Droid nor Jarv are going to bless us with a look at that fucking long ass title Terry Gilliam movie this weekend.
-
I've got a load of fake Vampire Porn
-
That show is very 50/50 one good one kind of boring. Glee was really good as well, that show is taking off right now. Have yet to watch Fam Guy or South Park. American Dad was pretty solid. Simpsons and Cleavland show sucked. Dollhouse was pretty good last week, much better then the week before. I guess Greys Anatomy was good, didn't hold my interest enough to stay awake for. Letterman is back to being not as funny, I think now that this is blowing up he's stopped talking about it.
-
again. Twat.
-
It wasn't a good review, sounds like the guy may have just expanded on the trailer. That or that trailer is too good.
-
Far worse than Family Guy. I'm sulking at missing that shitlight thread- that could have been epic sabotage.
-
as an art film. It isn't.
-
Has a new and much better trailer. Eli Kostas is in it, and he's as good as it gets. But its better because it TOTALLY doesn't ruin the movie like the older trailer. I wonder if that had anything to do with the change. I'm not gonna give away what I heard about the movie. But If what I heard was true that first trailer TOTALLY makes it pretty easy to figure out the TWIST! The new one is a lot more vauge and better overall.

Oct 16, 2009 8:27:35 AM CDT
I might see Parnssusus or whatever it's called

-
I got the exact same vibe from that massa thread. especially when he was calling him massa-warm-shit and saying how pudgy he was. Real brainrobot vibe with a dash of mirajeff thrown in.
-
You must of given up after season one. The James Bond spoof, Stan's little secert. Its proof Seth can write funny stories.
-
Everyones seen Up. And no one gives a shit about Ricky G in the states.
-
Seen. Hate. Avoid.
-
Given up during season one, before season 2.
-
It makes Family Guy look like South Park. Honestly, it's complete wank, without the comedy of Stewie and Brian to distract me from the unbelievably lazy setup> wank pop reference> go on too long formula. Utter shit.
-
Confident that the G-men will come out victorious against the Saints? My money is on the Gents.
-
Starship Troopers 3 tonight, then Monster in the Closet and Head Cheerleader Dead Cheerleader. Next Week is half term so I'm only in for 2 mornings. Fucking wonderful.
-
Bastard. I don't know what that means, but more time off for you.Lots of football (and perhaps baseball, depending upon the weather) on tap for this weekend.
-
rely on set ups to pop references. Did you watch past season 1?
-
On Sunday. Land of the Lost. Trick Or Treat. Mirageman. Robocop. They Shoot Horses Don't They. Videodrone. Terrorvision. Thats what I will have to watch this weekend. Probably will only see 2. Fucking wife wants to go to homecoming.
-
Don't American's have that/
-
and wrote it off as being terminally wank. Especially having sat through the first series with mounting rage and hatred for it.
-
The saints are a very good team. Very balanced. But the Jints are also a very good and balanced team, with a superior defense. The Gmen can shut down Bree's. But can the saints stop Eli? I can not believe I just wrote that. Can Eli be stopped? Strange how a superbowl changes perceptions. Still I think the NFC stacks up like this. Giants. Saints. Vikes. The Vikes, while looking good and dangerous, gave up way too many yards and big plays to Green Bay. They make big plays on D but in the playoffs, will they be able to stop a great offense from marching up and down field? I see NFC as a battle between the Giants and Saints. But whoever wins this weekend, aint gonna guaranteed a ticket to the superbowl. Gmen lost to pats in regular season, but you saw what happened in Superbowl! Damn, I am going to youtube those final drives of the superbowl right now! Conti, for what it is worth my predictions rarely come true, and my wife is a Vikings supporter, so do not jump off that bridge yet!
-
Oct 16, 2009 9:01:17 AM CDT
yeah, for Christmas and winter break, then spring break
by just pillow talk
-
But I have no doubt that the Giants will be going to the Superbowl this year, looking to erase last year's postseason. Let's see if the Vikings can handle the Ravens this week.
-
then 3 weeks off from 18th december but half days from 11th, then week off in feb, then 3 weeks off in easter, then 5 weeks in summer.

Jarv, do you get paid for all those holidays?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Or some? Or none? I assume you'd get paid for some, as enforced holiday. I need a cushy fucking job like yours.

Oct 16, 2009 9:16:08 AM CDT
I actually didn't mind the first season of American Dad
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for

It's good being me. Where's Bouncer*? He can't be working *referencing the dog in Neighbours- one of Australia's vital contributions to world culture

Plus, I assume, you have 'x' amount of vacation time? And other holidays too? Fuck me.
-
Ravens lost two in a row, swagger being questioned. Ray Lewis is homicidal. Still, Ravens could have won that game, if not for a dropped pass. I think this game will be exactly like the Bengals game. A big powerful O line will stop the ravens from wreaking havok. It will come down to the quarterbacks. I like the Vikes in this one
-
Full salary. IOL- I saw a bent copy last week. It's not worth mentioning- dull and unimaginative. There are some good touches, like the advertisements, but really, it's the cinema equivalent of beige.
-
Scared the shit out of me. What you are reading is true, it works.
-
I work horrendous hours when not on holiday, I know that's a daft thing to say what with me getting 45 days-ish per year depending on where Easter falls, but I'm in for 7.30 every morning and most nights I'm not out before 7 in the evening.
-
Yeah I don't get why Ricky G, is trying to become a romantic lead? Also Mrs. Affleck is not a good actress. Why's she trying too become a romantic female lead as well.
-
Oct 16, 2009 9:26:58 AM CDT
So you get those holidays paid on top of...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
a regular holiday allotment?
-
If Carrell, Farrell, Sandler, Myers, Candy, Ackroyd can/could be romantic leads, then why not him. None of them are particularly proud specimens.
-
I have 45 days of "official" holiday- but I'm told when I have to take it. the school summer holiday is about 8 weeks in the UK, of that I have to work half days for about 2 of them, and I get another week that no-one pays attention to. I also have to work half days for 1 out of the Easter break and Christmas Break. All in all I get 45 days official, 3 bank holidays and about another 2 weeks of half days. The flip side of this is that I get told when I have to take my breaks, which is shit, because travel is so FUCKING EXPENSIVE, and in theory I have to work remotely a lot when I'm away, depending on how stuff is going. It's the major perk of working for a school
-
Good looking Irish bastard.
-
I can guarantee the vast majority of people would take longer hours and working less days than working all these useless fucking cunty days.And you're off to the pub quite a bit anyway. Nothing a guiness can't wash away from a long day at work.

"It's the major perk of working for a school"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That and the easy access to young children.
-
so I get my official salary when on holiday, but get fucked for the overtime, which works out at about a loss of between $450- $700 depending on hours and weekends worked.
-
I get 10 days off for holiday, and another 16 days off for vacation. So unless my math is off, that's a quite a bit less than your nearly 2 full fucking months off. Fuck me.
-
Is some teacher. Just sitting at his desk as his students take quizes while he gets all pissed off at Asi. Then some twat ask's a question about Portugal and Jarv just goes up and smacks him.

I was smart enough though to get my honeymoon off, not paid though. But at least I didn't blow all my vacation days the first month I started to work here.

I still can't believe they did a spin off of Cleveland
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
The worst fucking character on that shitheap of a show. It's like doing a spinoff show starring Joey. Oh wait...
-
he's not funny on Family Guy.
-
Dose "10 days off for holiday" mean public holidays? Like July 4th?
-
the only reason Joey was funny on Friends was that he balanced out all the smug over-educated douchebags. When he's by himself he's just a fat idiot.
-
Droid is still waiting for the day when the marriage between a elderly man and a underage boy is legal.
-
gets 25 days of official holiday and a few bank holidays. She's sulking though because her asshole boss told her she can't have Thanksgiving and the Friday after off this year.
-
President's day, memorial day, july 4th, labor day, two days for thanksgiving, two days for christmas, good friday, i'm missing one i think...
-
Was the joke about Quagmire being a dick right before he found out he didn't get the spin off.
-
Really?
-
"Droid is still waiting for the day when the marriage between a elderly man and a underage boy is legal." Pathetic.
-
New Years Day? I get 25 days plus whatever bank/public holidays they have here.
-
couldn't get the wording right. Maybe if I alluded to some gay british actor you would have liked it.
-
Christ he's dim. And pretentious.
-
Is throwing it down. That dribble about the english language was a bit of ones own ball sucking.
-
liking Rammstein doesn't make him a dick. You seen the new video?
-
and the rest are public holidays. That's shit. If, say, the 4th of July falls on a Sunday do you get a day in lieu?
-
Jarv - In your example, we would probably get Monday the 5th off.
-
he does it all the fucking time and he uses "I learned English from a British Native" as a club to beat Americans with. He is a cunt, and needs to get off his high horse.
-
I think it's 16 days of holiday then 10 days bank holidays.
-
No Paranormal questions? I thought you guys liked horror movies? Does no one really care? I feel like Cartman here. WHO WANTS TO TOUCH ME!

-
Germany is guilty of many of the worst musical atrocities including Europe and the ongoing catalogue of cruelty that is The Scorpions.
-

I like my holidays too much to put up with only 16 days.
-
16 days of vacation (holiday for you cunts) and 10 days of holiday (bank holidays for you cunts). And with that, off to the gym.
-
Terrible.
-
Whatever Rammstein realize they are stupid and fun. Thats what makes them awesome. They aren't like heavy metal bands in the states that think they are fucking badasses because they go up to 11. Plus Rammstein's shit is catchy and usually radio friendly. But their new video makes them fucking gods.
-
Oct 16, 2009 10:30:21 AM CDT
I'll ask you the only question I'm interested in knowing, Series
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Is it any good?
-
Christ, America is a bastard of a place sometimes. Is that standard?
-
What the fuck? Are you being serious?
-
I'd prefer to be deaf.
-
It totally fucking is. It does work. The camera work isn't annoying. If you go in with an open mind to enjoy the experience you will like it. If you go in wanting to hate it you probably will. I don't think anyone in the theater didn't like it and it was so packed they opened another screen. Also don't read anything about it. What I liked about it is that its a great theater experience. Something fun to see in a packed theater, people screaming and freaking out added to it. I think it will still be effective at home. I mean I wasn't around for The Original Haunting or Exorcist in theaters. This is essentially my chance to have some of that movie magic scary fun.
-
we only allow the occasional import from Europe to re-affirm our superiority or that they have a hot bird.
-
Yeah its standard to think both the Scorpions and Rammstein rule.
-
Christ. They're the nation where The Hoff is the largest selling recording artist and they still think that The Scorpions suck.
-
Seriously. What the fuck? Are you trolling me?
-
Rule for a cheesy 80s rock band. Better then Quite Riot. I mean I pretty much only know 2 songs from them, and they are awesome. And Rammstein I don't know what kind of music you listen to. For Jarv I'm guessing indie experimental techno stuff. And Droid I'm guessing baroque music or gangster rap.
-
My mate's missus is from Germany and she just mumbles in embarrassment if you bring up German music. Then threatens violence when you point out the success of the hoff.
-
*goes out shaking head thinking that there is someone in the world that likes German music*
-
I don't own any of their things. But Wing of Change is just one of those songs that gets stuck in your head. Rock You as well. I mean you could say that The Scorpions were the precursor to Rammstein. Rammstein is better though.
-
So I expect it to be good. It does sound gimmicky, Blair Witch style.
-
I do come from German heritage. Not one of those Irish/Italian Americans that's like "yeah I'm Irish/Italian since my great great great great great great grand father's father was an Irish/Italian immigrate." My mom was born in Germany got a green card and everything.
-
It does, but unlike Blair Witch its funnier then you think it would be. Also I don't know how much the two actors KNEW about what was going on. But they were in on it. Its not like Blair Witch where they kept the actors in secert about what was going on the whole time. But seriously don't read shit about it, even stay away from that stupid trailer if you've managed to not see it. I mean it just works. And to think about it from an independent cinema point of view its astounding.

Jumping in here late on a couple of this, but SCREAM...
by continentalop
...I always thought the original was overrated. Very good opening with Drew, but the rest of the movie just had the wrong tone for me. It is always listed as a deconstructionist slasher movie - really it is just a parody with John Hughes characters.
SCREAM 2 really bored me, but I will say it had one sequence in it better than the original - and that is when Jamie Kennedy buys it.
As for SCREAM 3 shit. THE RING was only redeemed by the kick ass ending when the little girl comes out of the tv. That truly was a creepy moment. -
they're worse than Clodplay.
-
I think that movie is utterly kickass. One of my favorite Billy Wilder films.
I always laugh when people say older movies are too safe and that they aren't "edgy" enough. When is the last Hollywood movie, actually American movie, that was willing to have characters as unlikable as those in ACE IN THE HOLE as the leads.
Sex, language, violence...yes. Old movies were not nearly daring enough. Emotions and actions, they were much more daring. They would risk making a story about someone loathsome, and challenge you to watch it. -
But my wife still thought it was scarier then Paranormal Activity. Though she isn't sure why. I think my problem with The Ring is that I saw it after I saw Scary Movie 3, and the parody of the Ring video is better then The Ring.
-
Re- Scream. Horror was in such a fucking mess before Scream. It really did revitalise the genre. The Ring- the ending was from the Japanese one and the way it was done in Ringu was far superior to the American version, also the Japanese one had the ill-spirited coda with Grandpa dying.

Series, I don't want to talk about PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES
by continentalop
Because I am probably going to see it this weekend. After I see it I'll probably want to talk to you about it.
And anytime I see someone mention SHUTTER ISLAND, I am just skipping their post. Trying to make sure I go into that film with as little knowledge as I can. -
Scream 2 had moments but was so fucking obvious it's ridiculous. The moment Rosannes sister appeared I knew what the score was. Scream 3 was fucking awful and made the huge mistake of having the killer not be from the core group from the previous flicks. I would've made the killer Courtney Cox, who's fame had dwindled and needed to resurrect her career by covering another serial killer. Or something like that. Anything but the shithouse illegitimate son of the dead mother. That was absolute shit.
-
Are beloved by millions. Oh Jarv, you know people in the music biz. Get them to get a hold of Muse and tell them to redo their newest album.
-
Bastards.
-
Yeah I know I'm not really spoiling anything. I'm trying really hard to kept it on the up and up. Much better then the trailer did.
-
They're a dirty little secret in the CD rack of millions, maybe. Beloved? Not so much.
-
What part of the British Isle do they speak Blimy?
-
Well, at least not the entire thing. So I can only judge the American one, and I will say the ending was very effective. For me the entire film was just a 4 or 5, I was wondering what all the buzz was about, until that ending because it was very scary.
As for SCREAM, it might have revitalized horror but only as a money making genre, not as a creative one. Plus a lot of the genre commenting they did was already done on an indie movie a couple years earlier called THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE, so the entire deconstruction thing never felt that original to me. -
Whats good in music right now. I'm out of college and don't hang around kids all day. I only know what I hear on the late shows.
-
Don't worry, I am not going to jump off a bridge, I would rather jump onto another teams bandwagon. I am very much a fair weather fan - life is to short to stay completely loyal to your home team, and unlike my country I don't ever remember taking a loyalty oath.
-
I thought it was common knowledge that there is no such thing as British English. Why is he lecturing me, a fucking native of this pissy little island about that? Droid suffers from the massive intellectual and educational drawback that is being from Australia and he knows that.
-
I hate to sound like an old fart, but some of the shit that masquerades as music now just drives me mad. I can't think of the last really good act I heard/ saw that hasn't been around for yonks.
-
Felt like a rip off of Student Bodies. Well Scream of Scary Movie. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an "R" rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the moviegoing public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say "Fuck you.
-
I suffer from the unmitigating superiority of being from Australia. You suffer from a mild case of down syndrome commonly caused by a proclivity of inbreeding.
-
It really does.
-
Have a good one, cunts! I'll try to drum up a few reviews for he site over the weekend.
-
is far, far better than The Ring. Honestly, it's almost off the scale better. The Ring infuriates me, actually, because Ringu was begging for an English-language remake. You could have stripped out the Goblin nonsense and amped up the esp side of it and made an absolutely stomping film. Instead we got horse fantasies and they gutted the ending.
-
over in the Cain talkback, about the Paranormal Activity making phenomenon and death of indie movies: give $100,000 budgets to as many budding filmmakers you can find and even if only a few become hits you will make a serious profit. Hollywood is dying because it is bankrupt of originality. Instead of giving Uwe Bowell or Brett Ratner a $30million budget, give 300 film school graduates $100,000 a piece to make 300 original films. Studio heads, if you like my idea, hire me. I’ll work cheap and guarantee profits.
-
Have a good weekend, skippy, you cunt.
-
I think your predictions about the Vikes are right except for one thing - their defense might not look great right now, but I am not that worried about them. I have faith they will get it together.
What gets me nervous is the offense. While piling on the yards and points right now, they don't really have that great of receivers and I don't know if they can spread the defense once they see what Favre and Peterson can do.
Plus one injury to Peterson and they are done. -
Much better than spending $250m on Transformers 3

See thats no better then my jokes. I guess your use of a highbrow word like proclivity makes you think it is? Ohh you under the queens rule and need for high brow humor. Can't just sit around and enjoy a good ole fashion dick and fart joke fest.
-
295 days off a year. Not bad.
-
That is the other film that beat SCREAM to the punch.
-
is a major step up from being Australian.
-
German music...
Can, Stockhausen, Peter Brötzmann. -
So it won't remind me of an episode of Ghost Hunters (which I hate)?
-
Is more like Open Water (except it works) then Blair Witch. And no its not like Ghost Hunters.
-
Kraftwork are acceptable. And that's it.
-
is in great shape. One of the best films I've seen this year was Baader-Meinhoff.
-
I guess I'll never know, because there's almost no way I'll be seeing it. My bf (god i hate that term) was given one month's notice. Just in time for the holidays! So income which dwindled from 2 to 1, is now headed to Zero.
And it definitely seems like a movie you'd have to see at the theater. -
So that was good? I really want to see that.
Kraftwerk. I knew I was leaving something major off. How can you not like Can? -
Did you ever notice that the bass player looks just fucking like Billy Crystal? At least in the (played every ten minutes for an entire summer) video for Wind of Change?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Eyao-2KWo#movie_player Look at 2 min. 45 sec. It's uncanny. -
a bit preachy, but spot on other than that.
-
Because I'm nice like that.
-
I don't want to hear them, and I certainly don't ever want to SEE them again. Yuck.
-
on the Red Army Faction a few days ago, because I couldn't find a subtitled copy of Baader-Meinhoff Complex. And Tago Mago-era Can was all over the soundtrack.
It was pretty odd. (the doc, not the soundtrack) -
were complete cunts. Clueless fucking imbeciles of the highest order. Especially when their masterplan was to off themselves. There's lots of boobies in BMC. Hehehehehe Actually, my only real complaint is the cack handed moralising of "understand the terrorist" which is a transparent dig at the War on Terror. It's embarrassing proselytising rubbish.
-
I'm off. Have a good weekend.
-
Bad American movies set in German. Adam Ressurected. I guess boy with the Striped PJ's. Though that Kate Winslet movie was OK overall nothing special, she was good though. Adam had a guy that was in a BM, the dude from Run Lola Run. FUCK! Tom Tykwer! Get your ass back to Germany. Purfume was at least good, but I hear The International sucks save for the scene. Tom Tykwer you Oliver Hirschbiegel and Mikael Håfström get your asses back on a fucking boat and GO HOME! Look what it fucking did for Woo! Stop making hollywood dribble and go back to your fucking roots!
-
Why do you think they pulled the NEW MOON TB? Maybe the poster of the review was fake.
-
they didn't "officially" disband until 1998.
The show definitely made them out to be idiot kids, using the usual 'pig' rhetoric. And the guy sounded like a dick. They killed a surprisingly large number of people.
I'm curious about how the movie handled the guy's death. The documentary was kind of unclear about it. I.e. getting a gun in prison, the mechanics of shooting oneself in the back of the head, etc. -
Conti, Just read your review of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. Sounds good, but not for kids?
Wondering where you think the audience is gonna come from for this movie... Stoners maybe? Be interesting to see if it performs at the BO. -
I couldn't bring myself to watch that one. Same goes for the Tom Cruise movie.
-
was pretty pointless. The review was pointless and clearly posted by someone who had Zero intention of giving the movie a chance. It was hate-baiting. And the tb wasn't even that hate-filled. Just the usual.
The most amusing thing about the TB was the number of people annoyed that the reviewer stated his sexual preference. As if the reviewers on aicn ever DON'T make clear their, uh, 'orientaton' in reviews. I think the reviewer just didn't want people to assume he was a chick when he mentioned going with his boyfriend. -
Yeah because his review felt like the trailer. I was thinking, man this whole movie is given away in the trailer. Which could be possible for that movie.
-
I felt that I had the greatest comment in their. See the reviewer said he went to see it because his boyfriend really likes it. So I said something along the lines of: Great even guy dudes go see this movie to get laid. Classic Series7.
-
Were surprisingly OK! Like not amazing, not shitty and not too boring. Both good solid dramatic movies. The Reader a little more so, it got better in the second half I think, the first half I really didn't like the whole thing between her and the boy felt way forced and they didn't have much chemistry to me.
-
The comment of yours that I remember was something about the trailer making you wish you were gay because Jacob is HOT..
That one made me crack up laughing. -
I don't know what that gay dude was talking about. Anyone seen Short Bus?
-
If you HAVE seen the trailer (please don't!). The auidence I saw it with was just like that, but with more cussing.
-
the Cruise. Or illiterate nazi psychodrama.
I did assume that they would be boring though. But I also assumed that they would piss me off in some way. Maybe I'll give one of 'em a chance someday. -
Well how very un American of you!
-
that look of intense concentration he gets on his face. Like he is harnessing his magical scientology powers.
He can, after all, talk to animals and control the weather. I steer clear of that.
If they remake Scanners they should cast him as one of the exploding heads. -
The problem with Twilight was that they didn't make it quiiiite goofy enough. Almost, but not quite. Too many slow, brooding sections.
If they can fix that with New Moon and make it just completely laughably over-the-top ridiculous, I think it could be bad in the good way. Werewolf dude should help with that. -
I really have no idea how this is going to play to the public. I think it will do good the opening weekend, but after that who knows.
I think Jonze intended it to be for kids, and it is very much about being childish and whimsical, but the sensibilities of the film are very much indie adult films. All the problems are handled through talking and learning to empathize with other people, not the stuff kids clamor to see IMO.
Finding Nemo had a father search for his son and learn to let his son try stuff on his own, but it had it in the context of a search, chases and escaping from danger. This is like if Mike Leigh did a children's movie.
Good, but not for kids (although, since I don't have any kids that I know of, I can't guarantee that). -
The Men Who Stare At Goats is a porn movie.
-
Gonna see it today. Thoughts?
-
From the director of Prom Night remake......fail. Sorry I wanted it to be good, but I have nothing but 0 hope of it after finding that out. I really like that actor on nip/tuck.
-
Nelson] McCormick has crafted a horror remake so undistinguished it makes Prom Night look like a masterpiece of transgressive filmmaking.
-
It disappeared.
-
Yeah, I went back ther yesterday and nothing there! Maybe Harry thought it was a hoax or something!
-
And I am already drunk. Had a pitcher of Sangria and a couple of beers all by myself as I watched the game for a late lunch.
I'm taking a nap. -
Anybody seen it?
-
That's such a good flick. I enjoyed.
-
for real? canals and chocolate and exploding midgets?
-
Again. Wow. What a fuckin' tool he is. Seriously I grew up on a sheep farm, and I think our Almada-based Sheep enema would scare the bejeezus outta them the moment he set foot in the the pasture. Must make sure to send some mad Slovakian armed w/ Berdeezoes Mammaries' way. Berdeezoes for the sheep-uninclined are those great big pliar like crunchers that are used to deball the ram lambs. It's a painfull experience for all involved.
-
Which TB would that be?
-
Your review of WTWTA over at AIBN, Nice. Saw it today, very good movie. How come you didn't mention BOB and TERRY in the review? HAH!
-
I didn't want to give anything away (not that Bob and Terry are like a major spoiler thing).
"Just sounds like squeeking to me." -
I've seen it. It was during Sly's wannabe Brando phase, like ROCKY and PARADISE ALLEY. Ok, but far from great; it sets up nicely, but really runs out of energy by the end.
I think Stallone didn't find himself until around NIGHTHAWKS and FIRST BLOOD, and then after that he just sold out and become a bad action hero. -
I was kidding, but they were awful cute! And Carol couldn't understand them either!
-
"The love when I do this."
Sure they do. -
WTWTA costumes at next years Comic Con.
-
Did I post something? I don't remember.
-
-PaZoozoo and Jarv to do same in the Trek/Abrams thread. Your name was mishandled and garbled w/ the rest of the spanglish this sad wreck of a mental leper spews forth amongst the population. It's a sad fate for anyone.
-
That silly goat molesting ponce has really lost it hasn't he? That's what happens when goat syphilis infiltrates your brain. You become a low brain wattage, pontificating numb nuts. Somebody should've have told him that no glove no love and to stay away from the goat hookers.
-
I was looking up info for the movie Corvette Summer. Then I decided to look up other movies from '78 and I came to realize that 1978 might just be the best year in movies ever. Here's a partial list.Animal HouseAlmost SummerThe Boys From BrazilCalifornia SuiteComaComing HomeConvoyThe Deer HunterThe DriverEvery Which Way but(motherfucking)Loose!Foul PlayFUCKING Hooper! I loved that movie. I ran around playing stuntman until I took a bad header off a horse that summer.Up In SmokeWatership DownSuperman 1Grease. that's just an edited list. Honorable mention to The first version of Battlestar Galactica the BETTER one, Yeah I said it fuck off, which premired in September of 1978.
-
time to crack the knuckles and get to work a la NinjaFred.
-
it shouldn't be that hard to get back on the top 10.
-
was shit teh first half. I wish the goobers at the 4 leeter network would stop polishing the knob of the over hype teams and divisions. Yeah I'm looking at you SEC.
-
need to get something to drink and think about this.
-
You cock grabbers couldn't take two from the fucking evil LA Dodgers. You motherfuckers better sweep those LA shit birds in Philly.
-
Nice win Pillow.
-
HA! Fuck you Ohio State you chronically overated cocksuckers from a shitty division. Double fuck you to the four letter network for constantly jizzing over the small 10.
-
and that he is in no way shape or form a "journalist" but blowing a friends movie with a glowing review is in rather poor taste.
-
games still sucks ass. Time to swith to USC kicking the living shit of "Notre" Dame. I will be happy to watch this one.
-
But what we really need is a new Twitch.
-
I'm seeing PARANORMAL ACTIVITY this afternoon. I'll keep a clean pair of pants in my car.
-
Xiphos you rock! I haven't thought of that in ages---What are you drinking-Motor Oil?! Wasn't that Annie Potts w/ Luke Skywalker there? Fun movie. I was 12 that summer. Ahhh the BuckyfuckingDent game. GAG. I have that sucker on tape. BOOOO. I enjoyed watching Hooper, Jan Mike Vincent had himself a pretty nice career going til he went off the rails mid-80's, sad.
-
Donno if you remember that, same basic idea-cb's, truckers, bad guys, Helen Shaver taking off her jeans, etc. Good fun.
-
Really disappointed. I thought it was about a very nice jumper, maybe a tank-top, or a roll-neck at a push. Instead it was about these people who can teleport and these other people who don't like the people who can teleport and want to kill them for... Actually I'm not sure why they want to kill them, that bit was unexplained. Sam Jackson said something about only God being allowed to teleport.Anyway I didn't get excited at all, except for the teleporting bus. I think all buses should be able to teleport. Then I might be able to get home from work at a reasonable time.
-
With Jan-Michaell Vincent, George Peppard, Jackie Earle Haley.Laserblast?
-
Will you be writing a Paranormal review, haven't seen it yet, but might be interested.
-
was terrible, if I recall correctly. And I think I do. Charles Band movie, wasn't it?Damnation Alley fairs slightly better but is still pretty woeful. Almost worth it for the carniverous cockroaches. But not quite.
-
Or 'A BOY AND HIS DOG' with Don Johnson.
-
Excellent movie. Way and above the other two. I think 'Blood' might be my favourite movie animal. I like the ending. Raw.
-
What type of reviews will you be doing for WotM? I've read a few of Jarv's, Jonah doesn't have anything there yet.
-
to Don Johnson's character too!!! I'll have to check Netflix to see if it's there.
-
to the site? I read that she left MyMavra, but don't know why?
-
and everything! That is, when I can work out how to post stuff over there.On MyMavra I did Out Of The Blue, Murder By Moonlight (TV movie) and Thunder Rock. You can see by that I'm all over the place. I'm doing another old movie, Dead Of Night, at the moment.Are you doing a few reviews for WOTM?
-
I don't know what's going on with Mavra. She had a disagreement with Herb - that's as much as I know. Don't know if she's involved at WOTM, Jarv said something about her 'hanging up her pen'.
-
Boy & His Dog on VHS, taped off the telly many years ago. Have to dig that one out again.
-
but I do enjoy reading other peoples reviews of movies I like or plan on seeing some day. Like the one Jarv did on LIFEFORCE. I mainly like Sci-Fi, even all the B-Movies.
-
Therewolf. I won't say anything about the film, but curious to think what you thought of it.
-
I sort of just waffle on about the film in question, probably giving away too many spoilers in the process.I'm jealous of Jarv doing Lifeforce. I love Lifeforce!
-
I'm struggling with Dead Of Night. I can't make up my mind whether to cover each story in full or concentrate on what most made an impression on me.So far, I've done the latter. But I feel like I'm letting the film down by doing that. I mean, everything gets a mention but I skip over quite a bit.
-
I admit. Because not only is it multiple stories by multiple directors, but each one has a completely different tone and some work and some do,
The other thing is that they aren't even all the same length. Some stories are like 6 minutes long and some are like 20 minutes.
How the fuck do you review and incapsulate that? -
and then you've got the farmhouse story linking everything.I just don't want to do it and disappoint. Just have to "cowboy the fuck up" and get it done!
-
we got back in the Top 10. Even if it is only briefly.
-
It's been 3/4 weeks.
-
Its been a long while.
-
They were busy updating the Twitch website, that was reason for being late with the column last time. Maybe that's the reason again.We should be informed, one way or the other.
-
..these parts lately?

Opening scene with Kimberly Caldwell getting the bifurcation treatment, entrails hitting the ground and then gets dragged away, one half of her body, then the other.

The Man Who Fell To Earth. (76)With Candy Clark"Tommy can you hear me?"
-
Yo, dude!
-
Watched 20 million miles to earth for the billionth time. Still a great Harryhausen extravaganza. Watched Bolt - for the first time. I loved it! Why that movie did do bigger business i do not know. Watched Slumdog millionaire for first time. Very good flick. The shit was funny! Those who have seen it know what I am referring to! Watched Underworld 3: Rhona Rides the Wolf. It had werewolves and vampires. Well. It sucked.
-
I watched 20 Million Miles...too! Bolt was great! Slumdog and Underworl, haven't seen either of those.
-
I was really surprised at how funny Bolt was. And I swear my dog actually watched part of it. If dude starts trying a superbark I'm gettin the hell outta dodge. I Highly recommend Slumdog. Very entertaining. I highly recommend avoiding Undie 3 - unless you are a completest. It aint horrible, just not memorable at all.
-
I had no idea that Walter Pidgeon was a frequent co-star of Greer Garson's. I must have watched about three of their movies. Garson was a damn good looking woman. And the thing is she got a very late start in the movies. She was in her late 30's before getting starring roles.
-
but not so much these days. Once in a while, Turner or TMC, will have something interesting. Cagney, Bogart, Davis...
-
Just love that channel. I am trying to hang on until Yanks put the Angels away. I have nothing against the Angels, but I want to see a NYY LAD series.
-
(node 42445) Kobe finally figured out that the "Chosen" e-mail each other when they don't want everybody to know what they're up to. They mention you too! 10/13/09 @ 11:52:26 is where Kobe starts.

I had one iron clad rule. Never feed trolls. Now I have a second: Do not interact with the mentally ill. I will stay out of pedalbacks. If we run across one another in other TB's fair game though.
-
I am originally from New York though, so that is why I love the Giants and like the Yanks.
-
a little earlier in this TB, I'm mainly a Sci-Fi fan, even the B-Movie ones. Damnation Alley, Laserblast, A Boy and His Dog, The Man Who Fell To Earth....Do you know who Kari Wuhrer is?

Looking at the order of our posts, looks like I am slamming you
by toadkillerdog
I am referring to the caine TB of course. You are good people Morbius. You are a fellow FP'er!
You live near Conti? -
know where that is?Don't the Giants play the Saints tomorrow?
-
I'm near San Diego.
-
That movie pissed me the fuck off when I was a kid. It was horrible. It came on the heels of Star Wars so like the dumbass I was anything that even remotely smacked of sci-fi had my hard earned money. I know that name Kari Wuhrer, can not picture face. I'll imdb here. Help me out Morbius. There was a Ray Bradbury or Asimov story, can't remember from late seventies turned into a movie. Just a dumbass thing I wasted my money on about an eclispse I think. I thought Meridith's husband David Birney was in it, but can not find ity om imdb.
-
I think that is closer to St. Louis. Yes, Jints vs Saints. If you scroll up to friday morning Pillow and I were discussing that game and others. I can't wait!
-
Anything more to go on? Other actors, more of the plot?
-
I was at Pendleton for a short while back in 80's. Would run down to TJ sometimes. I think Xi was at Pendleton as well.
-
Everyone wore robes. It was all talk. Boring as fuck. Damn. Maybe it was not Birney, but an actor that resembled him from 70's. I am sure it was a Bradbury or Asimov story though. I know, I will google all movies made from bradbury stories
-
Birney was in it. I had the year totally fucked up though it was 1988. Stay far away from this piece of shit. Will bore you to kill the ticket taker!
-
Have you seen WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE?
-
I loved those as a kid. I have not seen WTWTA yet. It was not high on my list, but my wife wants to see it. The only thing I remember of the book was that it had great artwork. I vaguely recall that the cover was kind of dark. But that was a long time ago.
-
but not Pax, what year were they?
-
I saw it after I saw Road Warrior, so it paled by comparison, and it was not a fair comparison at that. I do remember it was low budget but had some interesting things happening. I never watched Man who fell to earth. Is it any good?
-
Nice shatting with you Toad, but I gotta go. Later Buddy.
-
1974. There was also one from 1971 called Earth II but my memory of that is very hazy. I am hitting imdb on it. Mariette Hartley was in it, but not Saxon.
-
be your cup of tea. Check out the synopsis on imdb. I'm outie.
-
you in dago?
-
That movie and Stripes made me want to build a heavily armed recreation vehicle.I saw one of the vehicles they used for the movie once in LA on a trip when I was a kid. It was locked behind a fence in some sort of effects warehouse or something. I got away from my maternal figure long enough to try and scale the fence and get inside the wire and get into the RV. The Fucking man used his representative the LAPD to roll me up before I could get over the wire.
-
Rather horrible movie, too. District 9 knew what parts of it to steal, and what to leave out.
-
Now that handle is genuinly clever, well done.
-
Oh I fucking love this movie! Hey woman! Hey woman. Why don't you come over to my apartment tonight and I'll show you what a real man is like! Shut up old man! You don't know where I came from!

Who are you rooting for? HAH! Wonder where the term 'rooting' came from!
-
Rooting doubtless has some sexual connotation! Yes! T knocked the fuck out!
-
Which? Pack v. Lions or Cards v. Seahawks?
-
Time for the real shit to start in 40 min. C'ya

I take it your user name is a reference to the double edged sword? Did you lose the first one?

yep the Xiphos name is in refeence to the classic Greek hopolite short sword. The orginal Xiphos handle got the ban hammer dropped on it in in what I thought to be rather dubious circumstances. So I decided to just add the _2 as a form of lame protest.It ended up working out well. Now I can tell people to just drop the duce, which makes me giggle, becasue I never got past the age of 12 in maturity.

Some Asshat of the lowest possible denomination was in here basically stirring up trouble and got what they had coming to them.

Winning off of a missed field goal isn't the best way to win, but it is still a win. The Vi-queens will take that, however.
The undefeated streak, and the hope that they are REALLY good, still goes on for the Vikings this season. -
Cause in my world the Giants did not get massacred. Did not look like the D was left on the tarmac in Jersey. Did not look like the giants plan on D was to throw some gumbo at Bress and hoped that slowed him down. Bastard just ate the shit and still threw fourteen touchdowns. I'm going to get drunk. Probably pass out on the dogs favorite chew toy and he will piss on me - again. Fuck.
-
Can't forget my manners. Let the drunkening commence!
-
I wasn't out on that field. And even more importantly, when it looked like the were falling apart in the 4th and gave up the lead, I was flipping channels back to the Saints figuring maybe it was time to jump on the bandwagon.
In all honesty, Saints look good. -
And Xi did not get banned. He was upgraded to a new and improved version.

Wound up rooting for the Ravens for some reason in the other one. Broncs don't play til tomoro nite in SD. They'll prob. LOSE, so it'll back to 'Kin da Broncs beat anyone' etc. shite. Gimme a break.

Saints look great. I am demoralized now, but I also remember that the Pats looked unstoppable in 2007 until the Gmen stopped them. Yeah, I am grasping at straws.

Well. Ballsacks. About as inferior to [REC] as it can possibly get. For starters, very aware of the acting which you're not supposed to be. The fireman's (can we say 'fireman' or is he a non-gender-specific fire putter outer) sexual innuendo was pathetic. The other guy's 'I'm pointing at the camera silently because I cannot put my displeasure into words' was particularly rubbish.Too well lit. Too many artistic shafts of light and deliberate shadow. Feels like a movie set, not a regular apartment block with ordinary lights.Did not believe Jennifer Carpenter as a TV presenter.Can't wait for [REC]2, version Espana, obviously.

"6 Bullshit Facts About Psychology That Everyone Believes"
by continentalop
Just read an interesting article about 6 so-called facts that everyone accepts as being true.
-
Any hints?
-
Why it is Bullshit:
Research says it doesn't work. Expressing your anger, even against inanimate objects, doesn't make you less angry at all. In fact, it actually makes you want to get pissed off. Imagine if Bruce Banner walked around all day looking for an excuse to hulk-out, but replace the embarrassing shredded pants with friends and loved ones who are legitimately terrified every time his favorite sports team loses.
See, we humans have these things called "habits." When we do something, and it makes us feel good, we want to do it again... and more often. This is why you don't see a lot of Buddhist monks throwing bricks through storefront windows on their path to enlightenment and Lifetime original movies spend more on broken casserole dishes than on acting. The rush of anger is addictive as hell, and letting yourself lash out as a means to control your anger is like drinking to control your urge to drink. -
Why it is Bullshit:
This seems to be one of those deals where they've confused correlation and causation. Rather than thinking, "Maybe kids with high self-esteem feel good about themselves because they get good grades in school and have lots of friends," they decided that it's the other way around, that they succeed because they have self-esteem. So they tried to teach people to feel good about themselves for no other reason than pure entitlement, figuring the actual reasons for feeling good about themselves would follow at some later date.
This results in some kids having too much self-esteem, a breed of human that scientists classify as "douchebag."
We're certainly not experts, but it would, you know, seem like the solution would be to teach the stuff that leads to success (like social and communication skills, better strategies at dealing with stress, etc.) and just let that lead naturally to success and thus self-esteem, rather than just bypassing all that and going right for the self-esteem part.
Mr. Miyagi didn't teach the Karate Kid to believe in himself. He taught him how to kick people in the fucking head. -
My true pal, always. Sleep well!
-
Very, very clever.
-
Why it is Bullshit:
Studies show cult members are just as intelligent, if not more so, than the general public. And around 95 percent of cult members are perfectly sane (when they join up, anyway), with no history at all of real psychological problems. They're not stupid, and they're not crazy (except when they jump on a couch: see Tom Cruise). -

#3, "Be Careful! Advertisers Use Subliminal Messages to Make Us
by continentalop
Why it is Bullshit:
Not only do none of these particular methods work, as far as we know, no methods for subliminal messaging work. No, your brain can't pick up backward messages when played forward, and even when you intentionally play a track backwards, most of what you think you hear is a product of your own imagination.
But this is common sense. If there really was a reliable method for distributing invisible and unheard messages that could turn the masses into robots, whoever mastered it first would utterly rule the world.
They wouldn't need a military to invade another country, they'd just have to get their broadcast heard by the population there, and they would be helpless to resist. The fact that every single government in the history of the planet has failed to invent a method for this, no matter how badly they wanted it, makes us pretty comfortable in calling it bullshit. -
Oct 18, 2009 6:56:12 PM CDT
#2. "We'll Find Out if He's Lying! Give Him a Lie Detector Test!
by continentalop
Why it is Bullshit:
The problem was always the "lie detector" nickname given to the devices. It implied that the machines somehow know the truth, and can sense falsehood in the air. Obviously they don't (as that would be, you know, magic). They instead simply measure a number of physical responses that may mean you're lying.
The problem is there are a huge number of variables that can throw off the results, everything from the personality and physical condition of the person taking the test, to the technique of the guy asking the questions, to the way the results are scored, to countless tricks people have figured out that can throw the test off (Soviet spy Aldrich Ames beat the polygraph... twice).
That's why it's in some ways worse than flipping a coin. With the coin, you know it's random. With the polygraph, you get a false sense of security (after all, the guilty guy who beats a test is now less of a suspect than if he hadn't been tested at all). -
Oct 18, 2009 6:59:17 PM CDT
#1. "Carl is Such a Homophobe! I Bet He's Secretly Gay!"
by continentalop
Why it is Bullshit:
OK, we admit this is sometimes true. There was even a popular study done in 1996 with 64 male college students, 35 of whom were homophobes (according to a survey they filled out gauging their attitudes on the subject). The researchers hooked a meter to their dongs (seriously) and had them watch lots of porn (yes, this happened--here's the damned link).
It was found that the majority of the homophobes would get at least a semi-boner while watching gay porn (where only about a quarter of the non-homophobes got aroused).
You can see right away what's odd about the numbers. All-told, nearly half of their total test subjects got at least semi-hard watching the gay porn. So... half the male population is secretly gay? That seems fairly unlikely.
So, what is it? That guys who volunteered for this test were simply more likely to lean that way? You do have to wonder how dedicated they were to the anti-gay cause if they agreed to have some wires plugged into their tackle box while they sat and watched a movie called Rear Admiral.
Or maybe this was just some very well-made gay porn. Or, maybe this whole thing is just ridiculously unscientific.
Ding! We think we have a winner!
Remember, the guy who's spouting a particularly venomous anti-gay diatribe may be covering up for his own confused homosexuality, and may deserve only your pity. But there's a very good chance that he's simply a dick. -
Just thought it was interesting.
-
Dangerous around these parts!
-
And BTW, did you post a review of Paranormal Activity anywhere?
-
I'll have to find someone to 'splain all that to me.
-
I'm sorry about the MM site. It's still there, I just need to be elsewhere.
-
Its obvious #6 was written by a member of the US Navy. It smells wrong and weak.
-
'cause if I call it anything else, that would just be weird. See you all later. Have a great night!
-
Because I agree with the idea of when releasing anger is appropriate. I think guys that explode and destroy stuff have bad tempers - and unloading on something doesn't help it, just reinforces it. At least I can say that with my own experience as someone who used to have a real bad temper.
I think #6 & #5 can go together. Mr. Miyagi not only taught the Karate Kid how to kick people in the head, he also taught him when to kick them. Not in anger, but as self-defense. -
Hope to get it to Mike sometime tonight.
Saturday nights and Sunday football is not a good time for me to try and do a review. -
Caught it this weekend. Not half bad. Should have gone for the hard R. It was silly and fun. Couldn't believe they got all that money for it. I mean I went in expecting complete dog shit and it was silly mindless fun. If you like those two leads then check it out, if you don't this won't change your mind.
-
I mean thats a broad topic. Ads do stuff subliminally, like show all white people using the product trying to target them. Thats sort of a subliminal thing. People in movies drinking coke.
-
At the end, during the credits, can't remember when, nice little scene with topless girls in grass skirts, but with long hair so they're pretty much covered up, they still look nice. A nice Fun movie, and Anna Friel/Holly was looking mighty fine.
-
No they DON'T. Giant Robots make EVERYTHING Better-but ya GOTTA know how to USE them. Mr Miyagi didn't teach Daniel to fly around in Giant Robot's hands-that's why he got the shit knocked outta him by Johnny and Co by the Fence. Johnny Sokko, on the Other hand---William Zabka and Chad Mcqueen woulda been so much Dead Dr Guardian sauce. Word.
-
YES HE DOES. REPEATEDLY. They've BANNED Portuguese GOAT MILK from these shores BECAUSE OF IT.

NO HE DON'T.

NO YOU FUCKING DON'T. AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE w/ An IQ OVER 25. And WHY am I Shouting in all-CAPS? got no idea.

I wasn't sure it would be as good second time around, but it's still mint. That film is just Sam Raimi having fun. No meddling studio types interfering and telling him he has to put Venom in it, just Alison Lohman getting gummed by an evil old dear.That's entertainment. Jarv is nuts for not watching it.

Zombieland.Dexter (season 4, episode 4)and...The Beastmaster!That's right, The Beastmaster, starring Marc 'I am The Beastmaster' Singer. I hope it's as mint-tacularly awesome as I remember it being (from when I last watched it when I was 13). I'm sure it will be.

I've created a page over at WotM for us to crap on about the usual rubbish. http://moonwolves.wordpress.com/bgrr/
-
Dedicated to Asian Cinema.
-
probably not. so why does it have a talkback while SGU doesnt?
-
The Beastmaster is indeed the shit. The marvelous Anchor Bay DVD also has extra hidden footage of Tanya Roberts naked ass. Genius.
I agree about Drag Me To Hell, by the way. I thought I was going to hate it but I really, really enjoyed--despite Raimi's recycling of a few Evil Dead 2 gags. -
and its barely above the level of Fringe which is the worst show ever made in the entire history of TV.
-
Fuck SGU.
-
The fucking eye ring!
-
And yes, the Jets have quickly shown their true colors. Whomever those guys in their uniforms who started 3-0 are long gone.Fuckers.
-
...you could always hijack the heinous Maskhead torture porn thread while waiting for a new Twitch.
-
If so is it still in print?
-
of course its not better than Atlantis but its the best show that airs now! and fringe this season sucks hard, like someone said, it lacks depth. so that makes SGU no#1 show to air now.
-
Totally. In one of the menus I think you can highlight the eye ring (if I recall correctly) and access footage of Roberts' skirt blowing up and revealing noo-diddy. This is all thanks to Don Coscarelli. I remember reading an interview with him on the Phantasm website before there was ever talk of a Beastmaster DVD and he mentioned a friend of his who had the outtakes and how he would love to include it as an easter egg. A sterling individual, that Coscarelli dude.
Don't know if it's still in print. I bought mine the first day it was out years ago. -
You can still get it on Amazon for 19 bucks.
-
fucking unwatchable garbage.
-
Now pound the evil LA Dodgers twice more please.
-
The Jeff Fisher likes snowy weather - NO HE DONT, line just killed Fred! Fred could not stop laughing! Toadkillerdog -Fred is sorry that your Giants lost so badly. Fred hopes that your dog did not use you as a toilet.

I thought he just tried to smoke a pipe? Whatever, thats really stupid. I don't think I ever smoked because I saw people in HOLLYWOODLAND doing it. I mean how many TV shows have people smoking?
-
When's that coming to VHS?
-
Pretty fucking good. Some awesome ass kicking. I think everyone here would enjoy it.
-
BEASTMASTER's eye ring... the Harry animation showing that cool scene from MARS ATTACKS with the beehive babe with an eye ring...
DAMN YOU TIM BURTON! YOU STOLE FROM BEASTMASTER!!
Tanya Roberts did indeed have a magnificent pair of tits on her. Is she the only Bond girl to have done nudity in another film? (I know Teri Hatcher has, but can't think of any others off the top of my head). -
Ursula AndressHalle BerryKim BassingerDiana RiggJane SeymourBritt EklandMaud AdamsPriscilla BarnesDenise RichardsThose are just the ones I'm sure of looking at a list of Bond girls.
-
All that from memory?
-
Xi, yes and of course we also forgot the newbie Eva Green who went nude in THE DREAMERS.
I bow to your knowledge but are you sure Diana Rigg and Jane Seymour have done nude? What films? -
Although she did apparently get nude in a stage play. I meant Lana Wood, I fucked that one up.Jane Seymour got them out in Wedding Crashers.
-
except where I screwed up Diana Rigg it was all from memory. Though for most I couldn't tell you what movie they showed the goods.
-
Suddenly I have a reason to see WEDDING CRASHERS!
Vince Vaughan, of the expanding gut and the declining comedy, wasn't enough to pull me in but Jane Seymour's milf-tastic mammaries might be. -
its just side boob
-
Madonna count? There is still hope for Famke Janssen and Rosamund Pike (and Judi Dench if we are lucky!). Sophie Marceau, Michelle Yeoh and Grace Jones I'm sure have droped top before.
-
In GORDON'S WAR, with Paul Winfield, directed by Ossie Davis.
She wasn't bad looking back then actually. -
...got really nude in Le Serpent.
-
...a whole slew of Page 3 models (Lalla Dean, Sian Adey-Jones, etc) in the pool scene in For Your Eyes Only.
-
Not even the goatfucker would touch that tainted twat! Doc-Q-Mentalled fact that she gave half of hollyweird - STD's. Charlie Sheen took care of the rest.
-
Did Playboy. Olga was in Hitman as well, not worth watching that crap though.
-
Anyone seen that movie?

Re: Man U. Yeh, the Americans still own them, the Glazer family (do they own a basketball team?) A few thousand of the old guard local fans opposed them and eventually formed a breakaway club - FC United Of Manchester. They started at the bottom of the 'football pyramid' (lower non-league football), passing my boys Maine Road FC as they climbed up a couple of leagues.You only hear about Man U because the Premier League only wants you to hear about them (or the other 'Sky 4' clubs, Chelsea, Liverpool & Arsenal). They are the money-makers.Man City have more of the local support in Manchester. Where Man U get 75,000 for a home match, City get 45,000 and in midweek can sometimes drop to 30,000. But they're predominantly Mancunians, not 'glory hunters' from all over the world. If City ever get successful they will no doubt attract a number of 'glory hunters' and the crowds will rise. But City will never be as big as Man U. They used to be, in the dim distant past but I think those days have gone for ever.I don't watch 'big money' football anymore. If I can find City live (and free!) on the web somewhere I'll have a look, but that's about it.

I've been in Vegas the past week without any internet connection. The only way to surf the web is on my iPhone, and its nearly impossible to check this talkback due to its humongously unwieldy nature. Also, I just moved into the new house which has no internet connection at the moment. I'm at the old one doing some work, so until we get interwebs at the new house, I'll be on sporadically.
-
Must see! And what about Britt Eckland? I heard that was a body double in the Wicker Man?
-
I'll check it out. I was very disappointed with Paranormal Activity. But then again, my expectations were super-low. I wasn't expecting anything other than bumps and noises in the dark, and that's exactly what I got. Along with a grade-A douchebag/tongue cleaner for a main character. What a wanker.

Both Man U and Liverpool are owned by Americans. Liverpool is owned by two fuckers called Gillette and Hicks. Both clubs are now hundreds of millions of pounds in debt as a result. It's outrageous, because neither were in debt before the buy out. I've said it before but fuck the Premiership and double fuck the big 4.

Was a little worried about seeing it on DVD when it came out a couple years ago, because I loved it so much a young girl. I finally gave in last year and it was still fucking great. I bet the old Buffy movie is better then the show. Also Monster Squad is in the $10 rack at Soul-Mart.

So far I am not quite sure how I feel about it.

Ong Bak had amazingly brutal fight scenes. And a simple but effective story. Great movie. Tom Yum Goong - had higher production values but a more choreographed feel, although it still had some amazing fight scenes and the highest broken rib cage count, as well as broken left arms. Tony Jaa hates left arms. Ong Bak 2 - this is a strange duck indeed. Beautifully shot, but a storyline that is all over the place. Some good action scenes, but nowhere near as good as the previous two movies. It is Tony Jaa though, so that outweighs a lot of the negatives. Still, unless a Tony Jaa fan, I would recommend just sticking to the first two as your introduction to amazing ass-kickery. Red Cliff will be shown on HDNet before it hits theatres.
