AICN & Twitch Present International Eye Candy! Donnie Yen! Yuen Woo Ping's TRUE LEGEND (in 3D) featuring David Carradine & more!
Yes, kids, the leaves have changed color and the weather has turned colder since last we spoke but the maddeningly busy festival season that has kept us from one another for these past weeks is now past and the path to our reunion is clear. Yes, it is Todd from Twitch here with the first edition of International Eye Candy in ... well, honestly I don’t have the first damn clue how long it’s been. That’s how long it’s been. So, as a token of apology this time out, rather than just going back over the past couple weeks in the world of film this time out I’ll be going back a solid month. So it’s a big one and I hope you’re wearing your kung-fu pants, because we’ve got LOTS of it: Two new films starring Donnie Yen, the return of THE REBEL’s Johnny Nguyen and Veronica Ngo, a CG enhanced extravaganza from the Pang Brothers, plus the triumphant return of THE MATRIX choreographer Yuen Woo Ping to the director’s chair. Plus we’ve got INFERNAL AFFAIRS star Andy Lau flying what must be the cheapest space ship ever put on film. Strap in, here we go!
The fu is coming but before we get there: cowboys! And not just any cowboys, either. No, these are French ones, with a brand new theatrical trailer and an extended two minute clip from James (HELLPHONE) Huth’s live action adaptation of Morris and Goscinny’s classic comic series LUCKY LUKE. Jean Dujardin – you know him from 99 FRANCS and OSS 117, or at least you should – is in the title role and we’ve been in love with this one pretty much from the word go. The look is spot on, the casting of Dujardin is a stroke of genius and the early character teasers are spectacular. But you know what they say about teasers: You only need thirty seconds of good footage to cut one, the real test comes when people can see something a bit longer-form. And that time has come with both the lengthy theatrical trailer and the extended clip hitting and both are absolutely fantastic. Yep. I love this.

Okay, here comes your first piece of the fu and it’s a good one. To westerners who dabble in martial arts film, Yuen Woo Ping will likely always be best known as the guy who choreographed THE MATRIX films and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON but to those of us who dig a little deeper into the genre, he’ll always be much more. Yuen is the head of one of the oldest and most influential clans of film martial artists Hong Kong has ever produced, a literal living legend who has hand his hand in more than one true classic of the genre whether as a choreographer, director or performer. This is the man who made Donnie Yen a star and choreographed Jet Li’s finest screen performance (that’d be FIST OF LEGEND, for the record) and it’s been well nigh forever since he directed one of his own projects. But he’s got one now. It’s called TRUE LEGEND, it draws on one of the classic characters from Chinese folklore, it’s got one whale of a cast - including what very well may be David Carradine’s final on-screen role – and Yuen has got a little wrinkle up his sleeve as well. Yep, the look and feel of this is old school all the way except for one key factor: He shot it in 3D. No clue how many 3D screens they actually have in China and Hong Kong but this’ll be filling them all up soon and – if the just-released full trailer is any indication – it’ll be filling them up for a good long time.

From China we take a little jaunt across the continent to India, where we find SHABRI. Produced by the once-great but recently slidden into mediocrity Ram Gopal Varma, this one looks like it may just have the goods to propel RGV back into prominence. Varma has always been a sort of anti-Bollywood Bollywood director, a guy who works within that industry but seems to generally detest all the things that people associate with it. While others are making Technicolor song and dance fests, Varma’s best work has been dark and gritty with nary a dance sequence to be found. He likes to base his stories in real life and in SHABRI he seems to have found a good one: The story of Mumbai’s first female crime boss. Varma’s leaving directing duties here to Lalit Marathe and, honestly, I take that as a good point as well, with nearly all of the best work Varma has been associated with coming with him purely in the producer role. The trailer looks like riveting, gritty stuff.

From India we head now to the old country, all the way up into the mountains of Switzerland – a nation not exactly known for any sort of film industry but which is having a little genre renaissance right now. Swiss scifi picture CARGO was covered in an earlier IEC and now the same distributor is poised to launch crime thriller VERSO on the populace. You’ve seen the basic story done many times before, no doubt – it’s your basic hot headed cop destroying his own life and family thanks to his obsessive fixation on his goal – but writer-director Xavier Ruiz looks to execute this with a blend of slick style and harsh grit that separates it from the pack. Unless, of course, your pack happens to be made up of people like Michael Mann. Then Ruiz would fit right in.

Yeah, you know where this is going already ... Tarik Saleh’s animated feature METROPIA is old hat to readers of the IEC by this point, with earlier trailers and clips already having made the cut, but fresh off of its successful US debut at Fantastic Fest the Swedish distributors went and released a brand new theatrical trailer for the film. This is dark, bleakly humorous stuff, with a fantastic cast of voices – Vincent Gallo, Udo Kier, Juliette Lewis, Peter Skarsgaard – and a bizarre storyline that revolves around mind control via shampoo.

Right. We’ve done the master, now it’s time for the student. Director Daniel (BLACK MASK) Lee may not be enough to inspire confidence or excitement but the idea of Donnie Yen cast as a middle ages Chinese secret service agent? Oh, yes please. Yen is – quite clearly, in my opinion – the greatest screen fighter in the world right now and with him already having announced his intended retirement date of 2013 – from acting, anyway, he’ll continue working behind the scenes – we’ve got to horde up all of his remaining work between now and then. Luckily, this one looks pretty fun. All that’s released so far is an initial teaser that sets more mood than it shows action but what it shows is pretty impressive. Donnie’s bulked up for this one and – somewhat surprisingly, given his reputation – has allowed Lee to have him look his actual age to lend a bit of believability to his character. Is this the same Donnie Yen who basically cast himself as a teenager in DRAGON TIGER GATE a few years ago? The guy’s finally growing up and hitting his peak mere moments before walking away from it all ...

Heh. I got accused of being bribed to like this one. Silly people, all you’ve got to do to get me to say nice things about your movie is make something that actually looks good. Failing that, hookers and cocaine are always a good fall-back position but in this case it was definitely the actually looking good part that won out.
The debut film from Paweł Borowski – and, I believe, the first live action feature produced by stellar effects and animation company Platige Image- ZERO is a sort of chain reaction sort of film, a thriller that passes through a single twenty four hour period by simply following the dialogue. We go in to a scene, something happens, and then the camera follows the last person to speak as we move on to whatever comes next. It looks slick, smart, and like absolutely fascinating viewing. I’m hooked one hundred percent.

And if all that structural experimentation has got you feeling woozy, then go here to see France being attacked by giant crabs. That is all.
And from that we move to something a little bit darker, namely PATIENT X – the new Filipino horror film from Yam Laranas. The director of hit scare flick SIGAW – which Laranas himself remade in English as THE ECHO with the help of THE RING and THE GRUDGE producer Roy Lee – Laranas returned home to create PATIENT X, a creature feature based on the Filipino legend of the aswang. Not familiar? Picture a vampire but stripped of the glamour, a humanoid creature immortal unless killed under very specific circumstances that hunts human prey to eat their entrails. While vampires are technically parasites, aswangs are full on predators, hunting their unfortunate victims in packs. This one hits screens in The Philippines next week but the full trailer and a TV spot are available now.

Anybody else here homesick for the days when Italy was ground zero for all manner of smart genre fare, the purveyors of slashers, thrillers and all manner of other fare? Well, I certainly am, and so I am a very happy boy indeed whenever something emerges from the Italian scene that looks to restore some of that lost lustre to their sadly faded industry. Enter LA DOPPIA ORA, an intelligent adult thriller that took its bow at the Venice Film Festival last month. It’s a world away from the giallo pictures that Italy built its reputation on but compelling nonetheless, a story of ill fated love and murder beautifully shot and built around compelling, complex characters. Regardless of the country of origin, the world just doesn’t get enough of these.

And now it’s back to the martial arts action! One of only two men in the world who has fought both Jet Li and Tony Jaa on screen – a cookie for you if you can name the other without looking it up – as well as being the guy in the suit for the first two SPIDER-MAN flicks, Vietnamese-American stunt man and martial artist Johnny Nguyen didn’t get the chance to step out as a leading man in his own right until he went back to Vietnam a few years ago to make THE REBEL. A film he wrote and produced himself – with his brother Charlie directing – THE REBEL both launched Nguyen on to the international stage and introduced him to model-actress Veronica Ngo. Nguyen trained Ngo up in martial arts for THE REBEL and she took to it so naturally that the two are pairing up once again for the simply titled CLASH. A thoroughly modern story this time, the film adds car chases and gun play to the mix and looks like just far too much fun. A shorter – and less bloody – version of the film is being prepped for Vietnamese release in December before the more full-blooded version comes to the rest of the world in 2010 and the first trailer is looking damn good.

Swedish thriller THE APE was a surprise favourite of mine when it screened at the Toronto International Film Festival last month, a film that I knew nothing at all about going into. And in retrospect I’m more than a little grateful that I knew so little about it going in because it’s just that sort of film, a little puzzle box of a picture that wants you to try and figure it out as it goes. You start simply with a man waking up on a bathroom floor covered in blood that may or may not be his and then you follow him through his day. What happened? Why? How? Entertaining the different possibilities is the entire charm of the film and that sort of vagueness is what makes cutting a trailer for it so incredibly difficult. That hasn’t stopped them from trying, though, and so far they’ve got two. The first – which I personally think gives up a bit too much – is a fairly conventional approach while the second – which I greatly prefer – is more of a mood piece that aims to establish the uneasy tone of the film rather than explaining anything and does even that simply by employing a sequence that was actually edited out of the finished picture. You choose which you want to see but definitely do keep an eye out for this one.

We’ve been kind of alternating between the high brow and the low throughout this entire column so here it goes again. We now follow one of the artier entries in this edition of the IEC with Hong Kong megastar Andy Lau starring in a total, unrepentant piece of cult scifi trash. It’s Wong Jing’s FUTURE X COPS, the special effects budget looks like it was about five bucks (I’m exaggerating but not by much), and it looks like far too much trashy fun.
Find the FUTURE X COPS trailer here
For an effects extravaganza that probably cost a tenth of what FUTURE X COPS did but looks ten times better, I recommend heading to Ireland and checking out Gary Shore’s CUP OF TEARS. Fans of Kaz Kiriya and the look he achieved in CASSHERN and GOEMON, strap in and get ready for this one, because Shore is an out-and-out effects genius and what he’s creating here – the film is still in production, as far as I understand – is a period set martial arts fantasy. Yes, it’s an Irish produced martial arts fantasy. Let that sink in a bit. Then go look at it and wonder why Ireland hasn’t done it before, because this is bloody well gorgeous.

What the hell, let’s stick with the theme. The Pang Brothers’ upcoming martial arts fantasy THE STORM WARRIORS – sequel to huge Hong Kong hit THE STORM RIDERS – is coming nearer to its December release and so, a little earlier than expected, what they’re billing as the final theatrical trailer has just been released. And, as you’d expect from a duo of the top visual stylists in all of Asia unleashed in a 300-style green screen wonderland, the result is pure eye candy. Whether the story will hang together is always the question when you’re dealing with the Pangs but this sure is pretty.

And now some eye candy of an entirely different variety. Director Paul King is already well known to fans of cult British comedy, the man having sat at the helm of hit TV series THE MIGHTY BOOSH for, I do believe, its entire run. And now he has taken the step to features with BUNNY AND THE BULL, a film which – while not at all a BOOSH film – should make King’s existing fans rather happy while earning him a whole lot more. And those new fans will likely come, unless I am badly mistaken, out of the Church of Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry.
A road movie set entirely in one man’s flat, BUNNY AND THE BULL uses found objects, cardboard, glass bottles, anything really, to create its immersive worlds as the lead character retraces the path to a tragedy through his own memories, his mind grabbing on to articles within his apartment and using them as building materials for his memories. The film’s marketing suffers a major disconnect from its actual content – this is a much more melancholic film than the trailer would have you believe – but the visual charms are there in full force.

And now I present to you a man dressed in a chicken suit falling from a tree and crushing a live chicken. Repeatedly.
Remember what I said up above about Italy and giallo film? Well, if you want a good giallo the place to go now, apparently, is actually Belgium from whence has emerged AMER. I almost didn’t include this one because the teaser is such a tease but I got a look at the film at the massive Sitges festival in Spain – it’s Cannes for genre film, basically – and absolutely fell in love. God damn, I love this movie. It’s a film that refuses to recycle the past glories of giallo while being one made by film makers so familiar with that language they have made it fully and completely their own. It’s a breath taking piece of work that fully deserves that amazing poster art created for it.

Oh, lord. What to say about THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE? It was the discovery of Fantastic Fest 09 for me, a film proudly declared by its creator to be “100% Medically Accurate”. Which is truly saying something when you’ve created a film about a mad doctor surgically connecting a trio of victims from mouth to asshole. It’s Miike meets Cronenberg and while they haven’t cut a trailer for this thing they have released a small collection of clips.
Ride the HUMAN CENTIPEDE here
Is it okay to refer to Nicolo Donato’s BROTHERHOOD as BROKEBACK HISTORY X? Because that’s how I’m going to refer to it from now on. And, just in case you need that explained, here it is: Young man drawn into Denmark’s neo-Nazi movement at least partially because he’s in love with one of the movement’s (male) members. I’m sure that he’d be happier to know the feelings were returned if gay love in neo-Nazi circles wasn’t quickly followed by many big, heavy boots to the face. The cast of this is fantastic – Thure Lindhart and Nicolas Bro fill key roles – and the trailer impresses. Expect this to draw plenty of attention on the fest circuit over the coming year.

I normally throw a few shorts into each IEC column but this time – despite the super-sized nature of this particular edition – there’s only one. And this is it.
New from Polish director Grzegorz Jonkajtys – best known for his Cannes-selected animated short ARK – is 36 STAIRS, a dystopic vision of the future in which the human body needs to be bio-mechanically altered just to cope with the levels of pollution and the greatest threat to life is the cancellation of your health insurance. It’s bleak and beautiful stuff but would you really expect anything else from a guy who did effects on HELLBOY, PAN’S LABYRINTH, TERMINATOR SALVATION and SIN CITY?
Find the 36 STAIRS trailer here
Okay, this one takes some explaining. The region of Hakodate in Japan is a major producer of squid. Such a major producer, in fact, that the local tourist board has recently launched an online tourism campaign to draw attention to the district using a series of Robot-Squid short films. These have been very successful.
But not content with just making their own stuff, the tourism board is now Squidifying other people’s stuff, provided that it has some sort of connection to Hakodate. What about arthouse film IT’S ON ME? That was shot in Hakodate, right? No squids in the movie, sadly, but now there are in the trailer! Space ships, too. And robot battles. All of them layered in to the actual footage of the actual trailer for what looks to be a very serious little character drama. And you know what? I’d kill to see a movie with giant robot squid rampaging unnoticed behind a town full of people too caught up int heir daily lives to particularly care.
Get squiddy here
Okay, one last bit of fu here before we wrap things up. Teddy Chen’s BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS should be familiar to readers of the IEC, the film having been covered here a couple times before now but it’s back in by virtue of a whopping eight minute clip of the film having been released to the masses. Bloody well everyone is in this one – Donny Yen, Nicholas Tse, Tony Leung and more – and producers have created a full scale standing set of turn-of-the-century Hong Kong to shoot it in to make sure everything looks and feels authentic. Expectations? Sky high.
Find the BODYGUARDS clip here
And, finally, we close things off with GHOST IN THE SHELL director Mamoru Oshii’s first feature length live action effort since AVALON. Titled ASSAULT GIRLS features Oscar nominated actress Rinko Kikuchi as one of a trio of heavily armed women stalking giant sand worms through a post-apocalyptic desert. Beautiful women. Big guns. What more does a growing boy need?

In 1959, a movie called the Human Centipede would be about some mutated monster out in the desert, entertain some high schoolers on a friday night and be forgotten. In 2009, it's about three people fused mouth to anus. For what? Why? Why the FUCK do we need this shit?! That's the real harm dropping the bomb on those perverts did, now they just do take to full production and international release whatever the fuck pops into their twisted disgusting backwards brains. That's it. That's the last fucking straw, Nippon! WW3!
-
I wonder if it will make it to San Diego.
-
that explains it, nevermind.
-
Just to be clear, though, the fact that there is a man who spent years of effort to make his dream come true about 3 people joined mouth to sphincter... this is the sign you've been waiting for, fence suicidals. Humanity has now reached the edge, the precipice. The sharp drop all the way to the Hell is next. It's time to pull that trigger, tie that rope, sharpen that knife for the end is here. Chaos, horror, and destruction from here on out.

May be my new favorite movie.

To bad the Evil Empire of the Yankees are back and A Roid is actually playing well in the post season. The phills have to be perfect in order to win and I think that might not be enough.

as the greatest screen fighter right now? ...yeah, I might agree to that... He's not an acrobatic wunderkind like a say, Tony Jaa but he has beautiful traditional technique and clean lines that film nicely.

I'll tell you how long it's been - a bloody month, that's how long! Climbing the bloody walls here!Now I've gotta go to work and I can't bloody watch the bloody videos!

No luck on the second film for the bill. Xiphos suggested Dance Of The Dead, which sounded good, but I can't find it anywhere.

I'm looking for something to double bill with Trick R Treat while I stay in and be miserable on Halloween this year. Come on and help a guy out.

After a long day at work, the last thing I want to do is come home and watch a shitty Mel Gibson film. I'll watch a shitty episode of Veronica Mars or a shitty episode of Supernatural, but please don't make me sit through a shitty Mel Gibson film.I'll do it this weekend, I reckon. Probably.

Someone mentioned Saw VI to me the other day and I thought they were joking, but on the way in to work today all I can is buses with that hand poster on them.Those Saw bastards must work all the hours God sends to churn on those films each year. Either that or they're using some form of sweatshop labour to get another instalment out each Halloween. I demand to see behind the scenes footage of the making of these films. Enquiring minds want to know if there's a hanger full of eight-year-old Malaysian girls making a new Saw film every year.

I am not surprised about the Jets. Sanchez is a rookie. Yeaj Pillow, CC has looked unstoppable, but can he do that two series in a row? I never liked CC in the AL. I always thought he thrived in the NL. But he has become a complete pitcher. If that is really the case, then he should eat the Phillies up. Besides, male sprts teams should not be named after female horses. Nothing wrong with females horses - I loved Rachel Alexander, but she is after all a she not a he or a he/she.

I am sorry that you still bear the scars of being picked last for your grade school kickball team - after the kid with palsy and explosive diarrhea and your baby sister, not to mention the Nun threatening to cancel the game unless someone picked the last kid- the one with his finger up his nose who smells like dead frogs . But that is no reason for you to come into this TB and shoot off your nutswallower. You are an unknown, and so fart, uh far, an unwanted. Now, play nice and we will forgive this transgression. Keep acting like a jackass, and then the gloves come off, and you will have flash backs to when little Tommy shoved your head into the fresh dogshit, and you ran home to mommy with your little sister following and laughing all the way!

No real animus, but he should know that just because you do not like something is no excuse to wish someone to die because they are talking about sports. You do not like when we talk about sports, but you have never wished death on anyone because of that. Flicka is a jackass until further review. I do not have time for a proper smackdown now- gotta run to a meeting.

Fred is cautiously optmistic about Steelers
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
It will be a very good game against the Vikings. Fred thinks the key will be if the Steelers can force Favre to hurry his throws and if Polamalu can have an impact. He looked good - for one series last week, then he hurt his leg again. Fred can see a high scoring game.
-
We are deeply hurt. Because of you, I've come to realize there's more to life and I'm gonna start exercising. For real this time. You've saved me.
-
It'll be a high scoring game, certainly after seeing what both teams put up (and give up) week after week.

Perhaps you'd rather talk about cricket? Jarv and droid have that covered.

Fred is conflicted about possible World Series matchup
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
One the one hand, Fred really dislikes the Yankees. But on the other hand, Fred finds it almost impossible to root for a team from Philadelphia. Fred may just have to hold his nose and support the home state. But Fred will not like it. Nossiree Bob.
-
Fred was very sorry to hear about the Uconn player. That is such a shame, to die so tragically at such a young age.
-
Lots of lil ol ladies betting on it too! It was a very fast moving game. Fred had no idea!
-
What the HELL??? Cricket? We have a trailer on here with people JOINED ANUS TO MOUTH. My friend, there are bigger fish to fry here!

I figured they would go 6-0 to get everyone excited, and then start stinking the place up.
-
...Continentalop I thought you got that fingernail out and no harm done? Why so cranky my friend?
-
I just pointed out how this argument started. You told an active marine, on duty, to die. Seems logical to me he might take it personal.
And now you are just trying to save face by poking fun at other people. Why not just say you overreacted and apologize and move on? How fucking hard is that? -
...I don't know his life story just as he doesn't know mine. If he's a Marine good for him. I mean it, that's pretty cool For the record, my sister isn't retarded, she has a learning disability...shall I get all offended?And in an inexplicable fit of conscience I even amended "die" to "become ill" directly after, so spare me.
-
Thankd, I usually go to a multiplex, so I may 'check it out after whatever I go to see this weekend.
-
Still reeling from the rejection he felt as a third grader being left off the kickball team, after being passed over for his retarded baby-sister with the limp who was still in her stroller and flicking her shit at every passer by, the boy with the limp hair and even limper wrists vowed from that day on to hate anything and everything to do with sports. "I'll get you my pretties!" Adopting the favorite tactic of his arch-nemesis as his new name Flickapoo, the scourge of everyman with coordination, was born!

Anyone else having issues logging on today?

...from birth.Now I'm all serious and my feelings are hurt.
-
Yeah, Was taking forever so I logged off and tried again, then again, and my refresh is a little slow for some reason.Is there a Syzygy happening now?
-
That you could easily look at it as you starting it. You're the one who was upset they were talking sports, You were the one who said he should die, then changed it to get ill. Sure, Xi responded harshly, but then you responded by making it all about "common talk about balls and stick." Very condescending, I might say.
You didn't back up and apologize for what you did - it looks like you were looking for an argument. Well, sorry, I don't see you as the harmed victim or the innocent party here.
And yes, maybe people shouldn't make fun of your sister, because you never know if she does have a learning disability. BUT you also just shouldn't jump in an insult people for wanting to talk sports. Everyone has a life outside of this you don't know about, to attack them for what they are talking about (not for what they are saying but just for the subject matter) implies more about you than it does about them.
Seriously, it is two friends talking about baseball and football over the internet on a forum. You don't want to hear about it, you just don't read it. Simple as that. Why care about what they are saying, unless it is something you find despicable or completely erroneous?
With that, I am done with this subject. -

...of effeminacy? I never heard that one before.
-
I don't have to do that. Just talking about sports is sooo fucking boring. Unless its Sumo. Thats the greatest fucking sport, because its about Fat Guys and each bout only takes a couple of seconds. Like I'm so far removed from sports I have no idea who's close to the world series. I never follow football, and I got no idea how good my college football team is doing. Much rather just play sports then talk about them. The whole concept of these douch knockers being looked up upon by younger generations and getting paid millions of dollars to play games just bothers me. Also you think they would have higher standards about back round checks and police records then McDonalds.
-
One of those speech recognition systems? And BTW even if you are, which I seriously doubt, that does not excuse you from being an asshole.

Series, the same reason people watch sports is the same reason..
by continentalop
...people watch movies or tv. Drama. Sports is entertainment, and you are watching people excel at something. It is all part of human nature. People used to admire the strongest cavemen, best hunter, or best warrior. All physical skills and attributes. Sports just puts that out on a field for us to enjoy and watch.
You don't have to like sports, but I can understand why people do. Same reason they like action movies or biographies of heroes. Just a different package. -
See youse guys later!
-
...(may I call you Conti?) This is all in good fun. I see no victims here, do you?I made a generic complaint about tedious sports...because fighting about sports seems like a lot more fun.Then, when someone calls me a "cuntrag" I figure they're feeling frisky too...game on.If anyone is truly going to end up hurt or crying in their beer then I'm done.

You can't learn anything from sports. You are very limited in the emotions it can bring to you. And at least when you do something terrible as an actor you USUALLY get shit on for a while (not all the time), but as far as I know most major athelets rarely miss a beat after getting arressted or going to jail. Plus people who talk souly about sports look down on people who only talk about movies. So fairs fair, I'm usually better then those people at sports (except basketball, kind of suck at that. I can dribble and defend can't shoot for shit though?).

Trannyformers2 or GI JOE? Those are just adrenaline rides - same as sports.
Sports is the warrior culture - strength, speed, skill - transfered to a different battlefield - one completely irrelevant and pointless. But it is all part of man's natural instincts to wanna watch them, just like they used to want to hear the skalds tell tales of battlefield prowess.
And of course jocks look down on movie guys - the knights looked down on the minstrels as well. It is all part of competition - both are figuring ways into women's pants (or chastity belts). You think some guy who bust his ass of lifting weights and getting hit is going to give props to a guy who just makes movies or acts? Hell, no, he isn't going to give that guy any respect, otherwise girls will be going for him instead of the jock.
The pecking order is a bitch. -
what the hell did you learn form! GI JOE (haven't seen Trans 2 yet), I learned that Knowing is half the battle! I guess I'm just odd, because I've always been a jock. And there was a period in college when I was obsessed with working out, but at the same time I was watching the most movies I ever have. I was working out two hours a day and watching at least 2 movies a day. I was mainly working out though to get ready for Rugby season. Also I don't really care about getting laid. I mean I do, but I don't play games with girls. If they don't fucking like me, then fuck it. I don't like to jump through hopes in trying to met girls. Maybe once I'm dating them I will. But usually when I was single I was more into having a good time then trying to bang every chick in the room. It was always fucking annoying going out with your buddies then the second you get to the bar they are like "oh yeah I totally love (insert dumb girl thing here)" just in hopes of getting laid, when usually most of the time they were unsuccessfull. Has this thwarted pussy? Yes, I've heard numerous times throughout high school and college, "Ugh I thought you were cute till I found out you were an asshole."
-
"WTF?! People actually have to DEFEND why they like sports? Are you serious? Is physical activity really uncomfortable to some folks? Do these same people hate exercise or eating a good meal?"
Nobody is complaining about playing sports. They're complaining about WATCHING sports, which is as passive a hobby as you can have, and not at all comparable to eating healthy or exercising. Watching athletes on tv does not make YOU active.

Conti, I give you Terry Crews as a hybrid talent in both fields.
by blakindigo
-
Terry Crews is a hybrid talent, but he currently plays roles PROMOTING people like him - gifted athletes who work out. As he goes longer and longer in film, and moves away from the gridiron mentality, you will see him do more and more roles and be in more and more movies where being big and tough isn't important.
He will want to move from "Football player" to "actor" as time goes on, and he realizes his identity is more established as an actor than an athlete. -
You don't watch Everybody Hates Chris do you?
-
Why?
-
On the greatness that is Terry Crews.
-
NOT A HUGE strech, he's just a blue coller worker trying to get by for his family. Its really a great show. He's not your stero typical black dad, he's just a hard worker that wants the best for his family and tries to please everyone a little bit too much.
-
A former althelete or anything. Just a blue coller guy. I think he's the super of the building? He's sort of like Eddie Murphy in the PJ's but not as cranky.

...around reading THE NEW YORKER yesterday and not watching sports.There's a huge article on James Cameron, and in briefly mentioning AICN it quotes a nameless talkbacker post. It sounded close to something I (and a lot of people said) about AVATAR...so with a giant boner I tracked down the quote.Sadly, it wasn't me, but the quote was correct word for word. If I had been quoted in THE NEW YORKER I would have been as excited as some of you are to win with balls.

It's gots too many of those Other types of people-you know w/ all the Funnee Foreigner names like Martinez, Galarraga, Hernandez, Okajima, Matsuzaka, Ichiro, Gehringer, etc--why would anyone wanna know about THEM?! Better we jest sit here an' pull another circle jerk over the newest Wes Anderson movie. Wowee!!!!! A CGI FOX!! is his name Jimmie? Nelly? Whoopsie dat's Baste-Bawl again. Lemme try another one.

What a baby. I never quite knew he was this bigtime prima donna, he was known for having a cannon arm, for trying to throw into ANY amount of coverage, no matter When or where on the field--and it Did cost da Broncs some in some close games last couple of years. He's gonna be really good for Da Bears-but only if he can rein that Frat boy schtick of his in. We'll see.

Not that he has much help there in DC, mind--Dan Snyder is a grade A Asshat for an owner, and NO ONE is gonna prosper there unless they can stick him into some bottle somewheres and keep him there til the season ends. Shanahan in DC? Who knows?

It was a great, tense game. They're REALLY tough in the second half, and I'm very surprised at how good they are on both D and w/ Kyle Orton. Who knew???

longest straight road in the world. saw surrogates, worth watching. it kept trying to create this whole world but never quite made it. and bits were just plain stupid. as if the WHOLE fucking population of the world could have surrogates in 15 years. totally impractical. 1) like a fucking starving African is going to go out and get a surrogate. sure. Like some freaken grandma who refuses to use an atm, get a mobile phone ect is going to get a surrogate. 3)even if they wanted it you'd have monopoly pricing - it does not benefit the seller for everyone to have one, you are better of having it at a slightly higher price in order to maximise profit. this would have been trival to get around. 1)larger percent of the pop dosn't have one, their could be people desperately trying to get one. 2) the uptake takes longer. like a generation or so. otherwise nice, forgetable movie.

Here we go Steelers! Here we go!
Fred was very happy that the Angels came back against the Evil Empire (boo hiss) last night. However, Fred does not hold out hope that they can do that twice more in the Bronx. Fred thinks the NFC is a done deal with the Saints as cream of the crop - Sorry Toadkillerdog. But they remind Fred of the '99 rams, but with a better defense. As for the AFC - hoo boy! Well, Fred is sticking with Stillerz, but Fred bleeds Black and Gold, so that pick might be suspect. If Fred were forced to be objective, Fred would say that Denver has a legit shot because they have an outstanding defense, and that Orton is not making mistakes. Trent Dilfer proved that a QB who does not makes mistakes combined with a great defense can win the big one. Denver also has playmakers on offense. That will be a dangerous team in playoffs. Colts look very good. Peyton is playing out of his mind, and Fred would love to see Brees vs Peyton if the Stillerz do not make it. But Fred still not sold on their defense. Pats will make noise, but their defense is too pourous, and the book on Brady has been written - bring heavy pressure. Ravens are very dangerous, their losses could all be wins if not for some fluky plays or bad officiating, but their defense is not as good as it used to be, and they can be exposed. Bengals are up and down, inconsistent. The Jets are still too young offensively, but their defense will carry them far. So Fred see's the AFC as: Steelers, Colts, Broncos, Ravens, Patriots, Jets, Bengals. Fred reserves right to change Freds mind as the season warrants! Hee hee -

Nah, when it's good, soccer is very entertaining
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It just suffers from an abundance of dull as dogshit games. It doesn't matter who plays baseball. It's mindnumbingly shit.
-
But at least when you go to a game, no one really gives a shit (unless your in Boston then they are more worried about the Yankees game then the Sox game). Unlike football which is even more boring to me because its just so fucking stop and go. But there the fans are going nuts for the full four hours. Its just fucking annoying.

Charlize Theron and some English dude? I guess all the Australian actors are working in the US and England and can't be bothered to go back.On the other hand Miller is following in the footsteps of the original Mad Max, they used a transplanted American for the role.Gibson's too old? Actually that would make Fury Road pretty interesting in my opinion, especially if they get him liquerd up. Oh well maybe Miller still has a magic bullet left in the cylinder and pulls this reboot off.

Yeankees 6. Angels 7. Audience 0.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Baseball. The greatest insomnia cure known to man.
-
Until it took over fox tv. Fucking lame.
-
Everyone else, are just jealous pretenders!
As for Charlize Theron as Mad Maxine, well why not just remake Dirty Harriet with Angelina? Motarded if that happens. I can see wanting to reboot the entire thing with a younger actor to restart franchise. But terminator showed how stupid that can be - and I am one of the few who actually enjoyed Termie 4. Mel could be road warrior again, and people would pay to see that. Gimmick it up, and no one will show up. -
Since its only $9. I've never read a King book before but his riff on the Simpsons movies sound interesting.
-
Sounds like Soccer to me!
-
Lets face it. Miller has been kicking that idea around for forever. Remember when they were in pre production of JLA? Yeah what happened to that?
-
Any sport on the tele. (except for Sumo).
-
it was okay while watching it but its entirely forgetable. Which is pretty much what most movies have been for the last decade or so.
-
Was a lot like the Star Trek reboot. Just the Star Trek reboot wasn't a complete downer and wasn't a rehash of every action scene from the past 20 years. Also no fucking stupid mute girl.
-
However, at least they still have life and there's always the possibility that the Yanks fuck it up somehow, probably with Girardi's pitching choices. I'm hoping that they at least force a game seven so that CC can't start the first game of the Series.
-
There is nudety in Saturday Night Fever? I've seen that movie a bunch even as a kid, don't recall any?
-
I like baseball, quite a bit. But I won't defend it against those who love that soccer thing. Baseball is great to watch since you can be in and out of it, though the playoffs get me hooked to every pitch.I find soccer extremely boring, but when the U.S. played Germany (whenever the fuck it was, Olympics maybe?) and lost, even though they outplayed them, I have to admit that wasn't a bad game.
-
when played at a high level.
-
Probably rent it for a $1 at the Blockbuster box in Big Y.
-
Anyone seen that?
-
Even with the damn commercial breaks that can be a killer, when football is played at the highest level, it has more drama and and more enjoyment and athletic prowess than any other sport. Nothing like football. And no other American sport places such an emphasis on the regular season. Every game really does matter. A brutal, and beautiful game.
-
Seriously, those guys couldn't get a fast food job with the shit they've done. So I'm suppose to be happy that they get paid millions and are NOT shot up with steroids and are treated more like kings rather then prisoners? I'd care about football if there was a more life or death aspect of it. For now its just big dudes in tights.
-
I doubt they will win but like you said maybe the Angels can get a game 7 out of the deal.
-
Dude, football players represent a microcosm of life that happens to be magnified by the media covering it. Yes, athletes are treated differently, that has always been the case since sport was invented. But I would be willing to bet that if you took a random sampling of two thousand people off the streets you would find eerily similar backgrounds - minus the athletic ability, of pro athletes. You have good people and bad. But when the focus is so intense on such a small group, everyone seems to be tarred by the same brush.
-
Looks pretty damn good to me. Good editing with this one.
-
Does the animation look better, or is it just a better edited trailer?
-
Make up SUCH a small portion of America. You think they could find/make it more important to only hire players without any major criminal records. And once you are a player that you should be forced to becoming a fucking model to society. These players have been given a gift and they act like I should fucking thank them for it. It should be a rule that except for minor traffic offenses (like speeding and dumb shit) if you break the law in any way you are immediatly kicked out of the NFL. They should be pillars of America, instead they are pretty much dead beats (except for probably a handfull and maybe a bunch of unknowns). Football players should almost be held to the same standards of conduct that military members are held to. Otherwise they should change the pay difference.
-
If I recall, your family is military right? Or your father is. But anyway, I would never want pro-athletes held to that standard for a variety of reasons. One: the military has so many fuckups and assholes, that they can not throw everyone out. Military has one of the highest murder/suicide rates of any institution. Spousal and child abuse is soaring in the military. Infidelity and STDS are common place. Petty crime on bases is rampant. Major crimes are common place. Just because the general public does not hear about these things does not mean they do not happen. Do not use the military as a standard. Now, on to athletes. They have been coddled from the earliest age. Told they were special and treated that way. They believed it because society treated them as such. Give a child - and anyone under the age of 23 is a child in my book, millions of dollars and a sense of entitlement, and you damn better believe they will act a fool. The wonder is that more do not truly act up or get into major trouble.

-
Hahahahah thats a funny title.
-
Looks awesome but was anyone else laughing at the whole MINING story? Really thats what its going to be about? Wasn't that what aliens was about?
-
Is because you are given an endless job asked to do stupid shit all the time. HELD to a high standard with little reward. I'm pretty sure if most military members were getting paid NFL salary it wouldn't be so bad. As it stands I think until your are a E-4 you are living below the poverty line (except you get free housing). It may even been higher then E-4.
-
Its hard to say if the animation looks better since its a shitty handheld camera shot and a bad bad video conversion. The trailer is very nicely edited overall, is what I meant. It gives you a real sense of the story, the characters, has good pacing, ups the ante with the action, has some nice beats with the titles of Cameron's other films punctuating the action scenes with the beat of the music. I think overall its extremely effective. Unless you're already predisposed to not liking it, perhaps.
-
Not the best picture quality, I'm sure the new Apple Trailer will look eons better.http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=29223

I can't believe I've been called into work at 5PM on Friday. That's just fucking rude.
-
AICN will get around to posting a link!
-
Twitch is the changian thread. Conversation meanders through many different topics. Sport is just one of them

seriously. They're on a hiding to nothing. We don't do Fascism here. I think it's something to do with the weather.
-
Working through the night? Bollocks! How goes it?
-
It was sad to see legend and Superman's dad Glen Ford in that POS. The man worked with Fritz Land, for Chrissakes. He deserved better!
-
Aliens was colonists making an atmosphere. Alien 3 was prisoners/ monks in old lead mill. Putting it like that- it's interesting that they all involve heavy industry- and 4 (which is the weakest of them) involves the army.
-
I meant Frtiz LANG. Need another cup of coffee, and maybe some more meth.
-
I was in the pub as well when I got called in. I'm off soon though,
-
FUCK YOU Best Buy. Once Circuit City went bankrupt you guys said "Fuck it" to trying to make the customer happy. I don't like ordering shit online. And Wal-Mart and Target: you guys just flat out suck, despite having better prices sometimes.
-
The Stephen Dorff one? I'm trying to get that one and the demented one with the autistic kid and the psycho teddy bear but I can't find that one anywhere.
-
I'm off. I can work really fast when properly motivated. See you next week.
-
It just came out with a new DVD release 2 weeks ago. Not a single Best Buy in Charlotte, or the surrounding areas, ordered one copy. The movie you're thinking of is The Pit, which I've never seen but want to.
-
Oh shit its friday. Better make some plans. Maybe Trick R Treat with friends tonight.
-
If you ever have something at night you want to shoot, but don't have the money to invest in lighting, may I suggest you get your hands on the Canon 1D Mark IV? Take a look at this, using only available lighting:
http://tinyurl.com/yfz3xxj
In fact, this is what the director said about lighting:
"...the short film you are about to watch was shot in pretty much the very worst light that I could possibly find in an evening urban landscape. I did not chose “pretty lighting” in a mall or under neon signs. That would have been cheating in my book.
"The short was shot near East 6th and Mateo St. in Los Angeles - in an industrial part of the city. If you live in the area - go check out the area - you won’t believe the video you see below came from the poor lighting in that area. Sodium and mercury vapor lights. That’s it. Really awful lighting.
"Not a single external light source was used / added. In other words I did not use a single flashlight, LightPanel, flood light - nothing. For one shot only I pulled out a silver reflector… just to say we did it really. And yes it worked (see the shot of the young girl.)" -

That is because Alien: Resurrection involved the most cliched tr
by continentalop
That the Military-Industrial complex is evil, and that the military is evil. And only rebellious people are good (which is one of the things I did like about 28 Days Later - the entire plague was started by a bunch of overzealous Peta protesters).
But what do you expect when you have Josh Whedon write the script? It was just a proto-Firefly pushed into the Alien Franchise. -
So close. I was almost out the door when I got collared. Agree totally about Alien Resurrection
-
no fucking thanks.
-
rumour denial. AICN needs to get a fucking grip. And some fool is posting the mythical titles of 7,8,9. 9 Being "The Aliens" which has to be the shittiest idea ever.
-
But to me that was a huge fuckup. They screwed up what direction the series had been going:
Taking another genre and just putting it into space. ALIEN was the thriller, and not just the thriller but specifically the "creepy old house thriller" and set in space aboard a space trucker. ALIENS was the action-sci-fi movie, ala THEM!.
I don't know what genre and sub-genre you could say ALIEN³ and ALIEN: RESURRECTION were based on, unless you want to say they were just repeating what they thought the first ALIEN was about, a creature(s) picking off one cast member at a time.
They should have done the movie Jarv mentioned months ago: have it be the disaster film next. The stakes have been raised, the Xenomorphs have arrived on earth and mankind is desperately trying to fight for survival. -
Has he learned nothing?
-
And appreciate trying to turn it back into a horror film. It isn't perfect though. Survival Horror Alien 5 in a burnt out cyberpunk landscape with no/ minimal Ripley. Directed by Neil Marshall. Make it happen, Fox.
-
Like actors and directors and such are? C'mon Series, your intense dislike for anything sports clouds your judgment. We get it. You hate athletes and those who watch sports.
-
is that we keep hearing that marketing tools at the Studios read these boards, and I would be fine with them stealing it.

Best way to use Ripley in a new Alien movie was already done
by continentalop
By Terminator Salvation. She is just an android who looks like Ripley, made to give people hope after the original died.
Base the entire structure of the movie on the Wizard of Oz, Ripley Android as the Wizard, and you got the critics wrapped around your fingers. -
I had clicked on the thread here, and there's no point in viewing such a shitty look at the trailer. I'll wait.
-
Preferential treatment debate, no one really came to Vick's defense for killing animals. Polanski has a huge number of supporters, and he anally raped a 13-year old.
-
That's fucked up. I like the idea of them hearing her voice, but all broken up and it's the final tape from Alien. When they get to "Ripley", there's fuck all there apart from a dessicated corpse and a fucked up computer playing this tape on perpetual loop.
-
the hypocrisy over Michael Jackson is making me want to vomit.
-
I've seen the Canon 5d Mark II in action before and its footage looks pretty good. This is the first I've heard of a 1d Mark IV. That's some pretty great looking footage there.
-
He posts some twisted shit.
-
Basic plot & Structure - someone leaves home (space colonist crashes on earth) and crashes on strange land (post-apocalyptic punk, alien infested earth) and wants to go home; meets some survivors and a good person (Munchins and the Good Witch in Oz) who tell her to seek out the wizard (or Ripley in this case) because she will have the answers; meets new friends along the journey (and because it is a horror movie, also looses some of them), and then finally meets Ripley, only to learn she is a scam.
Alien Queen = Wicked Witch of the East; her children are the flying monkeys and all the other obstacles you meet along the way. -
Don't say things like that- some tool will think you're being literal and will actually do it.
-
I like it!
-
Aka Emerald City.
Fuck, this film writes itself. Just pay me and Jarv to write it, we'll do it for donuts and high priced call girls.
And 2% of the gross. -
*overheard in theater lobby*
-
Fuck's sake. Don't forget that.
-
But we will make sure that the mandatory 1 kilo each is included. Preferably Peruvian.
-
I think we should do an Airheads-esque production rider.
-
Website fixed and I'm really out of here now.
-
"No one is allowed to make direct eye contact with the writers. If rewrites are requested, you must first approach their valets and make any request to them. They in turn will determine if such request are worthy to be brought to the attention of the writers.
"In any case, a gift/sacrifice of one once of Bolivian flake and a pair of UFC Octagon girls will be presented to them along with the request." -
or for that matter rent boys and Coke standard in all hollywood contracts?
-
But you got to be careful, because they aren't WAG mandated. Producer like to screw you over by not putting them in the contract.
-
Knowing she will break me. I'll die happy.
-
Toto = Surviving dog she finds who stays with her - viscious mutt
Munchkins = Survivors (who quickly get ripped apart by Aliens).
Scarecrow = Retarded survivor our heroine finds (he only needs a brain)
Tin Man = Another survivor who turns out to be an android, maybe tries to betray them (needs a heart) or alternatively a guy with one of those things in his chest already.
Cowardly Lion = AWOL and Shell shocked Soldier
Poppy Field = Field of those fucking Xeno eggs with face huggers
The Yellow Brick Road = on the computer map, the route to Ripley's Green Zone is showed by a yellow line.
Like I said, this thing writes itself. -
It is going to be hard for them to give her to us. The Octagon girls are just basically Ring GIrls. Models. So that makes them disposable and easily replaceable.
-
I just had to throw in my crush for a female fighter.
-
She escapes earth, and is put in Cryo freeze. There she can "dream".
And as silly as my idea is, it is still 10,000 times better than ALIEN: RESURRECTION. -
Looks pretty great. Even on the shitty cinema cam job. But where's The Abyss credit?
-
And could be done in such a way that people might not pick up on the Wizard of Oz story, much like A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. Had the kids not been reading Pinnochio in the actual movie, I mean.
-
You know someone will develop it. Damn you Eli Roth!
-
We just want the call girls, the blow, and 2% of the gross.
We are not greedy here. -
And take a producer credit, despite not offering up any story details just yet.

Here's a little sample of a scene from this buddy comedy gold!
by series7
Lt. Venagus (Oldman) needs to get Bird of Paradise (Dafoe) to leave the club and identify a suspect within the hour, if he doesn't then he walks free.
Venagus - Sam... I mean Paradise we need you at the station right now.
Paradise - NO WE NEED ME ON THE STAGE RIGHT NOW! EI EI EI EI!!!! (Some loud Latin music blares as Paradise get on the stage and starts shaking maracas and playing with the other people at the club).
Venagus (gets on stage and grabs Paradise by the hand, looking very frazzled about the whole thing) - I'm not fucking around, you are leaving with me.
Paradise - (reacts with scorn starring Venagus down, leans in and whispers in his ear) If you don't fucking get off my stage right now I am going to take your man hood.
-
Enter Interigation Room Venagus - Look you got your fucking wish, did you not?
Paradise (looks away grabs makeup mirror and checks his lip stick while messing with his hair) - I guess if that’s what you call DANCING, then yeah maybe I got my wish.
Venagus - I'm tired of all your little tricks and games, I'm out there busting MY ASS to find a serial killer who happens to specialize in fruity queers such as yourself. If you want to end up next on his chopping block then fine, get the fuck out of my station and back to your little club.
Paradise (turns looking deeply in Venagus eyes) - I'll be on YoUr chopping block.
Venagus smacks Paradise.
-
Witten by David Eggers, with cameo appearances from Lady Gaga and Paula Abdul. Featuring the music of Electric Six, Take That and ABBA. Directed by McG (last minute replacement for William Friedkin after he died suddenly in the arms of a hooker, cause of death still unknown).
Feb. 2010
-
What's scarier is that the studio would have it star Ashton Kutcher and Martin Lawrence instead. And it'd be PG-13.
-
There was an amzingly done Wizzard comic this past year. Just released on Hardback. If you are thinking about having kids, you should get it. Its great, they are about to start Return to Oz. I think I'm going to hold off on the monthly and just get the hardback at the end. The Art is awesome. IIIIIIIIII'VVVVEEEE never read the original so I don't know if its closer to that or not, still good shit.
-
It would be nutty and could end up being OK. But yeah once Friedkin died. McG replaced the whole cast and turned it into a PG movie, with Thomas Lemmon and that guy from Chuck.
-
The art is fantastic. My friends and I are huge fans of it.
-
So says this CNN story. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/10/23/russia.skating.bear.death/index.html I smell film adaptation! The first sentence alone is golden: "A bear on ice skates attacked two people during rehearsals at a circus in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, killing one of them..." A killer Bear. On ICE SKATES.
-
But I seriously think he should check it out. And Vigilante. Not a lot of people like it, but it REALLY sounds like what he vision of Batman is, not perfect but close. I haven't read the newest issue but he's in Gotham now. Kind of sucks though because I heard it got cancelled.

The new Saw sounds like its back to being good!

-
well, Of the Teams left in baseball playoffs-I gotta go Angels/Philiies or The Total Fucking destruction of The entire planet by laser-beam shooting unicorns
-
That camera-is unbelievable. Or i should say-completely believable-we just bought a Sony DSLR-A900.
No movie mode, but the stills the damn thing shoots-good god.
The 24 megapixel plus pro-SLRs are unbelievable.
The ability to shoot using only natural light-dang! (Oh this is LB by the way) -
Hey mentions killing people. I don't think he really has a hang up, but he has to justify it in his head. Plus The Peguin is a gangster in it.
-
I told my dad to get the fucking Canon-now i know why...
Sonuvabitch-but he had all the fucking stupid minolta lenses which 2000 grand by themsleves-oh well maybe they will firmware upgrade the fucking thing-coulda had a High def Movie camera as well--fuuuucccckkkk! -

-
...playing topless table tennis I will accept that second chance gladly.Otherwise FlickaPoo roams where he sees fit.
-
Well, to each his own.
-
Its pretty fucking awful for the most part. What I don't get is who gets paid to write that shit? This could be a joke, but the bottom of their list #25 An American Werewolf in Paris they say why didn't they just get Rob Zombie to direct a prequel? It sounds like actual critisism, but then they list Halloween (07) as number 1. So I'm guessing its a joke. I don't know its just a weak list with a couple of interesting ones thrown in there.

Halloween films, remakes, reboots. I have no problem with that.House of the Dead did have a nice little skinny-dipping scene of Drica Durance (Lois Lane on Smallville).
-
Found by the folks at EverythingisTerrible.com. Its one of those Tiger Beat style videos from like 1995 or something. It truly is bizarre and has to be seen. It has such strange, contradictory statements by the talking heads, with one guy saying "Leo likes to shop at the very best stores... he buys the most current trendy clothing," followed by a woman stating "LEO DOES NOT SHOP AT EXPENSIVE STORES" and laughing. Huh? Then we have one guy talking about Leo buying his new beach house and he's always out playing baseball, and the woman chimes in "Leon is NOT in great shape!". Why would you put something like that in this video? Also has such great nuggets of info like "Leo likes doing karate kicks," followed by appropriate video... duurrr, okay. But, this gets points because it may have the best non-sequitur ever: "Despite the fact that Leo is a fast-food freak... He loves quality literature." WHAT THE FUCK? Who the hell writes this shit? And did they actually get paid for that kind of crap? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY4-70FQRow&feature=player_embedded
-
Lois Lane was the one skinny-dipping in House of the Dead? Which is a shitty, shitty movie, and some of the early boobs were kinda bad. As Rick JAmes said, "The milk's gone sour!" But I meant the early boobs, not the skinny-dipping scene. Methinks I need to revisit.
-
...above that image work too. More old Italian stuff. Cool.
-

...Mr. Leo was the biggest star in the whole world back then. You should have seen the Leo shit they had for sale at every tourist trinket table along the Grand Canal in Venice poor guy.I can only imagine the promotional materials in Uzbekistan.

supernatural hasn't started up here yet so i havn't read your review. i'll get talking with you when i am a little more up to speed.
-
dont listen to droid on sport. they watch afl, which is very my like soccer. it is very popular among the women of victoria because the players wear tight fitting shirts and short shorts and prance around. this is also why it is popular amoung the men.
-
after the third one it really seemed to end. to make it work you would need to involve the kids
-
it's only really people who don't watch the game who think that. I played footy in school. I wasn't fantastic, the comp i played in produces most of the wallabies, but i was at a low level in it. I used to love watching the 'firsts' play. now i didn't get along with most of those guys. some where down right assholes. is it surprising that the guys who are best at hiting each other are assholes? later, when they get paid to play and women seek them out is it surprising that a lot of them (not all) are total dicks? in oz people often target them for fights because we have a fighting culture and a lot of blokes go out to fight the best fighter they can find - and the footy players are usually good. so even the nice guys get into fights all the time - often having to get hit and back down just because of adverse publicity.do you only watch movies by people you consider good blokes? should we only let good blokes compete for us at the olympics? it wouldnt work
-
that short was excellent
-
the point of the wizard of oz is that the characters already had the things they were seeking. the scarecrow already had a brain

best movie ever. EVER

i'm in this club, and a little while ago one of the members died and he got a write up. he and his brother joined the air force during the second world war (back then it was part of the army) he was 19. they were in different planes. he got shot down over germany but survived. lying in a german hospital a german officer came up to him. the officer looked at him and said. 'you should be at home with your mother.'to which he replied 'i wholeheartedly agree.'

aka The Boat That Rocked with Bill Nighy and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Been seeing trailers for this lately.
-
"The Boat That Rocked" is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music. It's about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz. The Count, a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Quentin, the boss of Radio Rock -- a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea that's populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Gavin, the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and a fearsome British government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation.

Looked like the Giants were driving for the tying TD till...
-
As if the weather reports I look at also says that happened but the freaking Cardinals go into The Meadowlands in a night game in October in PRIMETIME and WIN!?!?!?! There might actually be something to that 2012 Mayan nonsense. Didn't that goofy French dude in the 15 century scribble a rhyme about this event happening?
-
What the hell chipps was talking about?
-
This weekend finally. It was ok, technically its flawless. Its still creepy, but I don't know I think falling asleep the first 3 times trying to watch it sort of took away from the scare factor.
-
Two turnovers that led to TDs? C'mon, you had they game to win and you choked.
-
Alex Smith came in and let it up. To bad it wasn't enough.
-
Came back from a big hole - once again I say they are the team to beat this year.
-
Aaron Rodgers looked really good. I don't think the Pack made a mistake releasing Favre - same situation with Montana and Young, you got a great vet but he is getting old, time to go with the great younger talent who you hope to build around.
Plus I am glad the vikes got him. -
In his fight saturday with Lyota Machida. I know I am probably the only mma fan here, so I don't anyone cares. But Rua got totally screwed IMO.
-
I give the film 5 stars (out of 5) for the idea and concept, but only 1 star for execution. I felt really disappointed because it had such a strong and interesting concept - the movie itself really felt amateurish and slapped together. The guy who played Leslie Vernon, Nathan Baesel, was awesome, however.
2 out of 5 stars total.
-
My only reaction to that is WTF!?!?!
-
How did Rua get screwed over?I liked Behind the mask a bit more then you did but I totally agree that the actor rocked.
-
tinyurl.com/yg5lt2q
-
You liked PA more than I did, but you also pointed out many of the things that drove me nuts.
I also was bothered by how spacious and big the place was. This are two young kids, how the hell could they afford that? But for once, I let my movie mind make the decision and let it pass - I figured they wanted more space so they could create more suspense. I let it pass as artistic choice. -
I don't how much you follow UFC or not, but it went the distance (five rounds) and they gave it to Machida. I thought it was a horrible decision, because in the four areas that they are supposed to judge - Clean Strikes, Effective Grappling, Octagon Control and Effective Aggressiveness - I thought it was either tied or went to Rua. It was a close fight, but I think Rua was more dominant, plus I think he did more damage.
In some ways it reminds me of the Hagler - Leonard fight. Not over how many punches thrown (because Leonard threw and connected with way more than Hagler) but in who did more damage. If you remember that old fight, Hagler's punches were much more damaging - I felt the same way with Rua's body kicks and leg kicks. Machida's legs were all red and he had some serious bruises on his ribs. Sure sign that he was in fucking pain.
Just another reminder to never let the judges decide a fight. You should always fight to win outright, never let it go to decision. especially in any fight that is somewhat close or could appear close. -
I think one of the things that annoyed me so much about the film was that it has such a great set-up and a story that is so ripe to be good. I can see why people like it - it is a cool concept - but that is why I didn't like it: it is a cool concept, do something with it.
I guess some look at the movie as a cup half-full, I saw it as a movie that was half-empty, or some shit like that. -
The boxing movie with Adam Carolla I think you recommended. Like Behind the Mask, I found that it had many flaws - some bad acting, a pretty stereotypical set up, a scenario we have seen again and again, but one thing it did have that made we really like it - it had heart. It was really about something, and it was trying to say something passionately. Sure, the direction was only one step up from a TV movie of the week, but the drive and desire of Adam's character was very palpaple.
Plus, this is the first movie I can think of that showed what the jab is for - to set up your stonger hand for a better punch. There was a scene in the film (when Adam is trying out for the guy's gym) when he sticks his jab in the guys face and then hits him with his left cross. It was right out of a Freddie Roach video. -
On that note, I am going to bed.
-
That fucking house in PA drove me nuts. I guess because I've bought and sold a few houses in Sand Dog I couldn't turn my mind off about it. Every damn time I saw that wood floor I kept going no fucking way. Nice looking house though. Not one I would buy because the one shot from outside made it seem like it was in a development.The movie itself was marginal. I have no desire to watch it again and Stuntcock Mike posted an alternate ending over at Bale that sounds better.MMA I follow it because its a fighting, but not as much as boxing. I know about the point system and all that and pretty up on most tactics and strategy. I agree its always better to win then have to depend on how fucked up the judges are or who's pocket they're in.
-
Had Heart for miles and it overcame everything you noted because of it.I think some TB I made that same observation about the jab and to not use fucking toggle bolts when hanging a heavy bag.
-
Where the entire enjoyment out of that film is completely emotional. AsimovLives can talk about how "good is good" and everything can be analyzed, but you can't methodically judge an emotional response. I have seen many films that are technically brilliant, but boring as hell. The Hammer is a opposite - technically "bad", but emotionally engaging.
just a reminder that not everything should be analytical and formulaic why things work. What matters is how you emotionally react to something - only after that should you try to figure out why it affected you. Not the fucking other way around.
And yes, I said I was going to bed but I feel wired up by the Vikings f'ing loss. -
It is just a sport I don't follow as much, because my favorite weight class - heavyweights (which I am) is so boring now.
I really think boxing needs some big shake up, and one things they should do is make some new weight classes. I think you need a cut off between 201 & about 225lbs. Guys are getting way to f'ing big, and have such long reach, that it is getting boring.
Nothing about the Klitschko brothers, who I think are good technical boxers (and like Lennox Lewis, really now how to use the jab) but they are hurting that class because they and the other giant Eastern Europeans have basically made a bunch of 205 and 215lbs fighters obsolete. Which sucks, because a lot of guys that size have a lot of speed AND power, and make for very good fights.
As good as Tyson or Ali where in there prime, they wouldn't stand a chance against Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko, or even Lewis. Those guys have way to much reach and size, and unfortunately size is almost everything in boxing (hence why they have weight classes). -
It's mostly a bunch slobs and your basic canvass backs and tomato cans. Sure some have a bit of power in a punch but very little technical boxing skill, It regod- dam-diculous how bad what should be the big money big interest class has fallen toYou're preaching to choir brother about shaking up boxing. When I was a kid I used to watch bouts on TV with my grandfather. later on I watched them on frigggin wide world of sports and they were big fights with belts on the line. Now you have to buy pay per viw for like 60 bucks a pop.Throw in all the different governing bodies and classes and shit it all means boxing needs some major changes to survive.MMA is marketing right. They have regular TV contracts and Pay Per View. That's smart you expose your product and fighters on basic TV and make money by pushing PPV in that medium. Boxing should take notes and go back to thier roots and show some fights on regular TV.
-
is half right half wrong. The problem is it's written by a wannabe critic that's a po-faced cunt. Leprechaun, Zombie Strippers and I spit on your grave should not be on that list for a start. Series liked saw 5, and I liked Jason X (I know). There's loads of them on that list that are just genius like Wicker Man Remake and Exorcist 2 and Plan 9. There isn't an appearance by Hostel, House of 1000 corpses, Hostel 2, Cabin Fever, any of the Guinea Pig Films, or August Underground. Not to mention missing out complete shit such as What Lies Beneath or Hide and Seek. That's inspired me to do a proper list.
-
He's the nobhead that gave Twilight 5 stars and therefore can be completely disregarded
-
i have avoided watching it like the plague. i can't find the original in video shops and i don't want the first one i watch to be the remake.
-
10)Hostel 9)Saw 3 8)Shrooms 7)House of 1000 Corpses 6)Blair Witch 2 5)Prom Night Remake 4)When a Stranger Calls 3)Diary of The Dead 2)Hide and Seek 1)WORST HORROR FILM IF NOT WORST FILM EVER: Die You Zombie Bastards. In fact, I'm going to go and write this up for the vault.
-
It is mostly shit, this is true- however, it has: Nicholas Cage + Bear Suit + Punches Woman and so is hilarious.
-
If you've not seen the original then don't touch the remake. The original is creepy.
-
When a Stranger Calls is good, because it could actually happen. Apparently. I thought it was derivative shit that bordered on unwatchable. But hey I've only seen thousands of horror movies so what the fuck do I know.
-
And raise you with Hoboken Hollow. Truly the most irredeemable POS Horror film I have ever seen.
-
monster shark, with massive shark-bite taken out of it. http://tinyurl.com/yg2oll3
-
Admittedly, I've not seen HH. DYZB is unwatchable shit that attempts comedy and is crass, irritating, dull, annoying, puerile, cretinous and, worst of all, a complete fucking waste of a superb name.
-
Admittedly I've not seen DYZB.
But HH is unwatchable shit that is offensive, racist, sadistic, cruel, idiotic, incompetent, and worst of all, lazy and insulting, with a supporting cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Michael Madison, Robert Caradine, Jason Connery, DeDee Pfiefer and poor, poor C. Thomas Howell (it is incredibly painful to watch him try so hard playing such a dumb character in such a tasteless movie - it is like watching someone run-a-marathon to bring awareness to a disease, and then find out it was a made-up sickness - completely pointless effort). -
Oct 26, 2009 4:45:37 AM CDT
I wouldn't say What Lies Beneath is horror
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's a thriller. And I didn't think it was terrible. Hide and Seek had De Niro in it? That's a thriller too, but 'twas shite.
-
UP again. In 2D. And it was heaps better than 3D. It's so much easier to be involved in a film when there isn't distracting shit trying to "wow" you in 3D. I also watched *shudder* G-Force. Ugh. Fucking terrible. It's also very frustrating because there's so much time, effort and money on the screen that you get pissed off that it was at the service of a shithouse kids flick about special agent guinea pigs.
-
and does HH have a scene played for laughs where the chief villain had to smack his own cock with a hammer to get an erection? Not to mention that it's clearly meant to be a pastiche of Meyer films made by a semi-retarded teenager. Not that HH sounds good, it doesn't, but DYZB is so unwatchable and insulting that I find it very hard to believe that anything could be as bad. Seriously, the first 45 minutes of it is gratuitous unfunny but messy cannibalism- and represents the high point of the film. The rest of it follows a lycra clad moron running around the world talking with various survivors of monsters to get weaponry to fight the villain that has kidnapped his wife. The film culminates in a scene of mind boggling tedium and at the end of it I felt angry and insulted. This is without mentioning the thrash metal soundtrack consisting of a tone deaf twat screaming DIE YOU ZOMBIE BASTARDS while his equally inept cohorts do unspeakable things to guitars.
-
but it's so anodyne and shite that it becomes a "psychological thriller" that is neither psychological nor thrilling. It's tedious, obvious crap and features Ford's worst performance since ROTJ. Me no likey.
-
Oct 26, 2009 4:58:10 AM CDT
Ford's worst performance since The Devils Own
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That was an abysmal performance by both Ford and Pitt and a steaming load of shit flick to boot. Granted I haven't seen WLB in yonks, but I didn't think it was terrible. But I didn't think it was brilliant either. Just mediocre.
-
is another actively insulting film that's meant to be horror but is just lazy, obvious and shit.
-
Just dreadful. The Devil's Own is offensively bad. I'd forgotten about that.
-
Oct 26, 2009 5:02:59 AM CDT
Of your Bottom 10 Horror Films list, I've not seen...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Hostel, Saw 3, Shrooms, House of 1000 Corpses, Blair Witch 2, Prom Night Remake, When a Stranger Calls, Diary of The Dead, or Die You Zombie Bastards. Which means I've only seen Hide and Seek. Lucky me, I guess.
-
I've not seen the original. But I remember just being completely baffled by the remake. Such a weird flick.
-
How are things and that?
-
That's some good dodging. Hostel and Corpses especially were fucking everywhere. I got suckered by the title of DYZB, and the strapline of Shrooms (They came to get wasted, now they're getting slaughtered), BLair Witch 2 was a mistake. Prom Night and Stranger were both on British TV, I've got battered wife syndrome with Romero now- (It doesn't matter how hard he hits me, for some reason I keep going back in the hope it will be like it used to) That's pretty much an accurate summary of why I've seen them.
-
Finally finished it this weekend. Getting through parts 3 and 4 was some hard work.
-
I'd like one at the top of the page like the rest of you guys have, but I'm too dumb to work out how to do it.Can anyone help?
-
is not by any means a "good" film. But Nicholas Cage+ Inexplicable wig+ Bear Suit. that's worth the price of admission in itself.
-
What do you want to call it?
-
with your own tab, all you've got to do is add links under it to the reviews you've done. It's easy.
-
So far I've got Saws IV and V, The Strangers, and The Hills Run Red to go with the copy of Trick R Treat I've been loaned.Still looking for suggestions, though.
-
I've done it. You can fill it yourself. Or rename it. Or whatever.
-
It boils down to the fact that I'm not particularly a fan of horror and I KNOW I would hate these flicks. So I don't watch them. I watch G-Force instead.
-
I'm happy to stick with Frank's Epic-Athons. That's pretty good, and what I'm most likely going to carry on doing.Fuck know what I'll do next, though. Batman is the obvious choice, but I'm not sure I'm up to writing about 7 films starring such a boring character.
-
If you've not seen Rec add that. Alternatively, Horror is in such a fucking state (again) that it's quite a tough call. If you haven't seen it Return of The Living Dead is always a good call.
-
Been meaning to watch it.
-
I'm a little lazy about films with subtitles, though, so I've been putting that one off. Same goes for Let The Right One In. People tell me it's good, but - sue me - I like my films in English.
-
Fuck knows why. I know it'll be shit, but I'm going to watch it anyway.I have no one to blame but myself.
-
Hostel 2, Frankie? C'mon!
-
I know that it is a "good" film. But fuck me if it isn't depressing. Seriously, seriously depressing.
-
Hostel 2 will be shit, but I want to watch a horror film a day this week (and a double bill on Saturday night), but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for stuff to watch.I've also got Saw IV and Saw V (starring Luke out of Gilmore Girls) which will probably be just as bad.I am my own worst enemy.
-
Oct 26, 2009 5:39:21 AM CDT
I didn't find it too depressing
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But I watched it at the same time as ultra depressing shitfests like The Reader and Revolutionary Road.
-
Fucking hell, that's a bad film. Turned it off about 30 minuted in to it. Couldn't take any more. Not even the enyoment of looking at Rhina Mitra could save that one.
-
Oct 26, 2009 5:41:32 AM CDT
Fuck me. Hostel 2, Saw 4 and 5?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
What did you do to deserve that, Frankie? How about you do the Scream trilogy then write it up for the site?
-
I think it took me 3 go's to finish that one. It's absolute shit, but I also hated the first two. One day I'll learn not to watch shit like that.
-
shithouse. absolutely shithouse
-
the problem with it is the epic dive in quality after the cinema scene in Scream 2. Literally everything from that point on is utter wank. Underworld? Fuck now. You could watch that Colin film that cost a tenner and is about a mad zombie on the loose in Bristol.
-
The Dead films. There's 5 of them now that start with absolute gold in one and two, then sink into "a few interesting ideas" in 3 before being "what the fuck?" in 4 and "absolute shite" in 5.
-
Paranormal Activity is on the interweb. I've haven't decided whether to wait for the cinema or not. I think it would be much more effective at the cinema, but you may want to consider that one.
-
Otherwise, Scream is not a bad idea. I also wouldn't mind doing the Evil Deads, but there's not enough of them.
-
Haven't seen it but I contend that underworld 2 is so fucking terrible not even a naked Rhona on a pogo stick could get me to watch part 3.
-
for Halloween. Now that I can work the screenshot tool on my PC at home.
-
I didn't know that. If so, I'll definitely have to check that one out.
-
3 Saws in one week! Can I survive it?I also just got Book Of Blood. Anyone seen it? I used to like Clive Barker.
-
Cheers, guys.
-
Oct 26, 2009 6:00:32 AM CDT
Do you just watch dodgy cam jobs, Frankie?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I'd rather wait for a decent version.
-
Oct 26, 2009 6:01:33 AM CDT
I saw Zombieland at the cinema last week as well
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was really good. I might write a review if I can be bothered today.
-
And the end of life as we know it, Xiphos. Yes. I'm enjoying watching those guys actually WINNING it's amazing.
-
I could well be wrong.
-
Second, toad, wtf is wrong with the Giants? Losing at home to the Cards. Not good.Conti, the Vikings' D really surprised me. I thought for sure Ben would throw for 3 or 4 touchdowns. I watched I Love you, Man...which I found to be quite funny. And for Mrs. Pillow, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Yep. It did have Isla Fisher. And I tried watching Alien Resurrection, but I just really couldn't. Kept flipping the channel back and forth to other shit. And caught the last half hour of Die Monster Die! with Boris Karloff in one of his last roles. Meteorite falls from the sky, old crippled scientist dude decides to keep some of it in this basement, turns people to ass heads, er monsters, and then proceeds to turn him into glowing radioactive man or some shit like that. Dude falls from the second floor and after hitting the ground, basically catches fire and burns his house down. yep.
-
good god, man.
-
Oct 26, 2009 7:08:16 AM CDT
I've been subjected to Confessions of a Shopaholic
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
One of the many shithouse flicks I've had to sit through. Bloody women. Luckily Isla Fisher's pretty cute.

by just pillow talk
for quite a while now.

Oct 26, 2009 7:12:11 AM CDT
oh, and the first Resident Evil was on too last night
by just pillow talk
or was it the other night, don't remember. In any case, it still fucking blows. What a shit movie.
-
for Lust Caution that I've got Carte Blanche until I fuck up really badly. I feel for you.
-
I've heard in ages.
-
The Proposal? I think it's called, with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. I think there was another atrocious one out there...with shirtless Matthew...Ghosts of Girlfriends or something like that? Fuck me.
-
but again, I think the worst is in front of me with the two flicks I just mentioned. *shudder*
-
I've seen both.
-

McConaghey is the new Meg Ryan
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Stuck doing terrible rom-coms.
-
Alien Resurrection is far and away the best film on it and is deeply mediocre.
-
He's more of a cunt. Meg Ryan has a few things on her CV that I don't hate- Innerspce, Top Gun, Dead on Arrival to name 3. McConaghey has nothing apart from Dazed and Confused
-
Very enjoyable.
-
Your balls didn't suddenly fall off or shrivel up?
-
Joben.
-
I like Contact, but not really him in it. Also, Sahara and Reign of Fire which are just amusing silliness. Frailty is brilliant, although his role was quite small. And Dazed. His list of shit is really quite incredible though. And to top it off... "Now imagine.... She's blaaaack"
-
I made sure they were given a thorough workout post flick. It's like frostbite.
-
Oct 26, 2009 7:51:32 AM CDT
the only thing I can say I like shirtless Matt in...
by just pillow talk
was Reign of Fire and Dazed. I've actually never seen Frailty.
-
You jerk off to a picture of your woman? That's sick, man.
-
I know you have *other* pics, which we won't mention here.
-
I loathe Reign of Fire, Contact and Frailty doesn't count. I don't remember Sahara. PS- Paul Walkers first role is, I think, Troma's great Monster in The Closet.
-
I loathe Reign of Fire, Contact and Frailty doesn't count. I don't remember Sahara. PS- Paul Walkers first role is, I think, Troma's great Monster in The Closet- which also featured Fergie!
-
in it and he's a bookie or some shit like that and Al Pacino shouts a lot? That was fucking horrid.
-
Especially when it is my own. But contrary to urban legend spleen does not taste like chicken. It tastes like spleen. I am enjoying eating my spleen - thanks to the inexplicable play lately of the Gmen. Pillow, it is quite obvious what is wrong, when I threw my shoe at the TV,instead of knocking Eli the fuck out, I just gave him a concussion. That is the only explanation for why he threw into double coverage all fucking night long! The cards have a great offense, it is no shame to get into a battle with them, and they have a very underrated D - Docket is a monster and Rogers-Cromartie is damn good. But how in the name Jimmy Hoffa's corpse that is buried in Giants stadium, could Eli not take advatnage of that secondary when Cromartie was out of the game? How could he just revert back into year one Eli with the game on the line? How the fuck is that possible? Must have been the damn shoe! I will throw it harder next time.
-
I thought that movie was alright. Didn't get the hate towards it. I think had it not had Georges name on it, no one probably would have cared, and it would have been better liked. Better then Land of the Dead.
-
Yeah that movie was complete shit.
-
I disagree about the K brothers or Eastern Euros being able to defeat boxers of the class of Ali or Tyson in their prime. Hell, Lennox Lewis beat the K brothers, and he was out of his prime when he did it, and was not even in the class of Ali or Tyson or Joe Louis. Lets jump in the way back machine. Back in the 30's a giant boxer by the name of Primo Carnera - 6'5" 284 lbs, was wreaking havok, Joe Louis, who had not even won the crown yet, knocked him out, giving away 60lbs and about 5 or 6 inches. An almost over the hill Ali took out George Foreman. A younger, meaner, bigger, heavier opponent. The 'smaller' boxer can beat the giants, if he is good enough and motivated enough. But those American heavyweight boxers do not exist anymore today. Yes, prime Ali would have beaten the giants of today. Prime Tyson, would have killed the giants of today. Ya, I love boxing. I agree that Hagler got screwed in the Leonard bout. Leonard was better than he is given credit for, much tougher and more vicious than his pretty boy image, but Hagler was the man that night. I think because Hagler did not knock the pretty boy out, and because Leonard took thse shots, and returned fire - albeit not with as much authority, he won on style points. Hagler should have known he could not outbox Leonard or win on points because that was going to be a popularity contest. To this day Hagler-Hearns remains the greatest three rounds of boxing/fighting/mauling that I have ever witnessed. Just breathtaking.
-
Was ok in Tropic Thunder, he was the weakest link though. His role should have gone to someone else.
-
Woody (who's good friends with McC did anyone see Surfer Dude?) would have been better in that role in Tropic Thunder.
-
replaced Owen Wilson when he tried to top himself. I thought that whole subplot was crap.
-
Oct 26, 2009 8:43:01 AM CDT
Series, have you seen Zombieland?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Woody fucking pwns that! "I'm not very good at goodbyes. That'll do, pig." Genius.
-
and all because of the main character/ camera user being such a douche. The bit that makes me scream at the screen in frustration is when his mate is being chased by a zombie and instead of helping he carries on filming and his mate turns round and fucking begs for help. Awful
-
Oct 26, 2009 8:45:18 AM CDT
"I loathe Reign of Fire, Contact and Frailty doesn't count."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
What's to loathe about RoF and Contact? RoF is ridiculous but entertaining and McC is hilarious in it. Contact is bloody great. Your taste gets worse by the day, Jarv.
-
It was pretty good in the theater, just like Pineapple Express. Then watching both of them again at home, not as funny. Segals and Francos characters are just too fake.
-
TKD- if that's true then the upcoming Haye v Valuev (sp) fight should be worth a look- especially as Haye is a reasonably talented converted Light Heavy. I suspect he'll get absolutely thrashed by Valuev.
-
Oct 26, 2009 8:46:19 AM CDT
And why doesn't Frailty count?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
He's in it.
-
I liked it. I think we have a movie we both like. Don't you remember the who's more badass convo we had about Woody and Bruce.
-
If we don't record it, did it ever happen? Or something like that.
-
Oct 26, 2009 8:48:41 AM CDT
Pineapple Express has the absolute genius line...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
"You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, motherfucker!" It gets a pass in my books. ILYM is still good the 2nd time. Not sure how Segals character is too fake. Please explain!
-
You are one of the top ten greatest actors of all time.
-
It's not the film's fault. But I was promised a film about Dragons trashing London. I did not get this. I felt completely robbed and as a result I loathe it. Contact is fucking dreadful.
-
the 0 chemistry between Rashida "I can't act but my dads famous" Jones and Paul "I'm probably gay but since I've been married for forever and a couple of Know How I Know You Gay jokes everyone loves me for life" Rudd is very obvious the second time around.
-
Was it who's more badass though? I'm not sure it was. I think it was just who's better. My argument against Bruce was his crimes to cinema like The Story of Us and The Whole Ten Yards. Sure, Woody hasn't done as many movies, but I can't really think of any that failed the way Bruce's bombs have.
-
That was awful self-conscious meta shite- but that wasn't exactly an isolated incident. Frailty doesn't count because he's barely in it. Dreadful taste? You like Conatct!
-
Anyone see that? Reign of Fire was ok, but in the end it sucked. I blame the director, the guy who did the X-Files movie (and Elektra). He kind of looks like Freddie Murcury. McC was in U-571, that movie was fun.
-
I've liked Paul Rudd since Clueless. And see LaButes 'The Shape of Things'. He's very good in it. Harsh fucking flick that one.
-
Is that he hasn't really done shit of note since Larry Flint I think. And he's been busy. He's done some decent stuff Transsiberian. A Scanner Darkly went no where. He's role in No Country wasn't needed. The Basketball movie sucked. Funny thing about Semi Pro, they went hard R for that movie, but it felt forced and tacked on at the end. Like they just threw in some F bombs to GET that R. While Land Of The Lost should have gone for the R and didn't.
-
We are Marshall was shit. Belongs in the compost with Radio and Remember the Titans. U571 sucked balls. Frailty counts.
-
Been meaning to see. I really like his early stuff, Company of Men and Friends and Neighbors. The trailer though kind of gives away the whole movie.
-
But Woody's in 2012 as what appears to be a conspiracy theory nutbar! WOODY FTW!!!
-
That is an intriguing fight. I have no respect for Valuev (sp) as a fighter. As big as he is, he should be putting men into orbit, but he does not throw hard punches at all. he has no power, just size and reach. I no little about Haye other than he is brash. As long as he does not get cocky, I think he stands a decent change of taking out Valuev. Stay away from long exchanges, and keep inside his reach. But the most important will be his conditioning. Can he hang around and put enough rounds together? That I am looking forward to seeing.

Yeah, LaButes great right up to Nurse Betty
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I never saw that one with Paltrow and well, we all saw The Wicker Man remake. Lakeview Terrace was good, if a bit generic.
-
I'm not saying it sucked. It was just kind of lame and not as funny a second time around. All the sort of funny moments the first time were really fucking lame the second time. The concert, the slapping the bass, the wedding, every scene with Rashida and Rudd. Also Segal's character is just so fake because I know dudes like him and they don't give a fuck about meeting guys and becoming friends. They just want to bang chicks. Its a decent comedy just nothing classic.
-
is the one with Paltrow. Anyone seen it?
-
Agreed, they needed to do more with Samuels character. He sort of leaped on the crazy boat way too fast. Its no Pacific Heights.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:03:52 AM CDT
Yeah, and it's definitely no Unlawful Entry
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I love that flick.
-
Where the main guy realizes that he's just a fuck up is devestating. Some of Thomas Jane's best work. Even though D Vader hates him I want to see Skip Woods movie Thursday, where Jane plays two roles. Xi gave it the stamp of approval.
-

The cameo scene in Zombieland was fucking hilarious. I haven't laughed that hard in a flick for a long time. "That's still tender." So funny.
-
Hate it. Really hate it.
-
Everyone says that, but what the fuck did he do between Clueless and 40 Year Old Virgin? The Anniston movie? Like listen to any review of him since Virgin every critic acts like he's fucking Bill Murray or some shit. The Shape of Things kind of counts but no one knows about it.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:08:04 AM CDT
It's Eckhart in Company of Men
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Didn't like Thursday.
-
It was fun, the cameo was ok. I didn't think it was that crazy funny. I think thats another movie that won't hold up on DVD.
-
Yeah I know, thats the joke.
-
And he got big after Anchorman.
-
That was a joke?
-
Christ, you've some dubious taste.
-
Why's everyone hate that? I mean I haven't seen it since the theater. I remember the sound design in that movie being amazing. I still need to sit through The Boat. What I remember about U-571 is that Bon Jovi had like a five minute scene or some shit.
-
I always forget it. The joke that Eckhart and Jane are almost the same fucking person.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:11:58 AM CDT
I expected very little from Zombieland
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was HEAPS better than I thought it would be.
-
I agree with Series. The boner people have for him is completely lost on me. What is it? The friends guest spot? He's done fuck all to merit the love- You could have cast a sack of shit in that role in clueless for example.
-
Why are they the same person? Cause they kinda have blonde hair?
-
Was exactly what I thought it would be. I thought it would suck too, went in with low expectations and came out on top.
-
Fuck me, jarv. Your taste stinks.
-
isn't really a Heavyweight. He was a good fighter in the lower brackets, but he's just not big enough to win. Mind you, I'm usually wrong on these things.
-
You don't see the comparison between Jane and Hart? Jarv? Anyone else I thought this was pretty standard stuff. Even the girl I work with who doesn't know anything about movies was telling me about this new show (Hung) on Showtime starring that Two Face guy.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:16:25 AM CDT
I think why people like Rudd...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
is because he's funny, likeable and non-threatening. Like a non-foppy haired twat version of Mr Darcy.
-
I don't see it.
-
So was alicia silverstone but no one gives a shit about her? Jarv I think Rudd just made every man in there 30's fall in love with him back then. And whenever they see him on screen it just brings back that teenage crush they still have on him. You know like your mum and Davy Jones.
-
Become this classic great movie for dudes to like as well? It sucks balls compared to Heathers, and Slater and Ryder were a lot better then Silverstone and Rudd. Also if you've seen Sex and Death 101 you would know that the writer of Heathers is still pretty funny.
-
But since she's subjected the world to Excess Baggage and Batman and Robin (not really her fault that one, but it still counts). I can't think of a Rudd flick as bad as either of those.
-
Get out. Any cunt could have done that. All he had to do was basically mooch around in slob gear and stare doe-eyed at Alicia Silverstone. If that's the pinnacle of his acting career, then wow- what an actor.
-
Can you only like one of those movies now? Is that the new rule? Clueless is good. So is Heathers. But fuck me, they're completely different flicks. Incomparable except for the fact that it's about teenagers.
-
I'm seeing something here, and that is. I want to star in a movie with Silverstone. She makes her co-stars fucking instant classic actors somehow. Del Toro, Cloondawg, Rudd. Everyone loves those guys now. And everyone acts like they've always been that good.
-
is good. And I do like it, not just because it's probably the only Austen adaptation I don't hate. Rudd wasn't anything special in that. He didn't stink, but anyone could have done it. My Mum and Davy Jones? Rude cunt. Interestingly, I forgotten which one of the monkeys it was (may have been Mickey Dolenz) but his mother invented Tipp-Ex.
-
because they came out around the same time (well 7 years apart). But Clueless gets a lot more love then Heathers, and Heathers is a lot better.
-
Silverstone's finest hour.
-
Everyones mum loved Davy Jones. He's like a young Zach Efron.
-
but it's a nonsense comparison. It's like comparing TDK and Casino Royale.
-
Do you see the Jane/Eckhart comparison. I think we've covered it many times on here before.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:26:46 AM CDT
Del Toro = Good since The Usual Suspects in 1995
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Clooney = good since Out of Sight in 1998.
-
I don't think they look that alike.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:29:16 AM CDT
"but anyone could have done it"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Yeah, but you can say that for 99% of fucking performances out there.
-
If it weren't for their involvement with Silverstone. Maybe they all banged her, she's got some magical pussy juices.
-
The book was okay.
-
Everyone over hear thinks Two Face and Deep Blue Sea are the same fucking guy.
-
Yeah doesn't hold up.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:32:14 AM CDT
Clooney is kinda like Morgan Freeman
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Instantaneously a "classic" actor. Once he got passed Batman and Robin that is.
-
it was an utterly unremarkable performance. It wasn't bad nor was it great. It was as bland and inoffensive as any I've ever seen. And you think this is some kind of benchmark? Are you nuts. It's like lauding Rose McGowan in Scream- as generic and unremarkable performance as has ever been done. Having said that, Generic and unremarkable does seem to be beyond the likes of dickheadssen, shia et al that pollute cinema nowadays.
-
Del Toro = Big Top Pee-wee 1988.
-
Are classic more because of the script (and Spacey and Silverstone) then the side characters.
-
Doesn't hold up because after The Usual Suspects fucking Baldwin did shit like BioDome and Del Toro did shit like Traffic. That's an idiotic comment, Series. You either missed my point entirely, or chose to ignore it for the sake of a shitty jab.
-
People who love Fear and Loathing. What'd he do in Suspects? I don't think you get classic status because of "Givemethefuckingkeysyoufuckingcocksucker." And I'd put Bio Dome ahead of Excess Baggage.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:37:03 AM CDT
"£And you think this is some kind of benchmark?"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
No. I reference Clueless because it was the first time I saw Rudd in anything. And I remembered him being likable. I never said anything about it being a fucking tour de force performance.
-
Fat, useless cunt. I'm sure he did something else worthwhile other than utter crap. I can only remember the fat twat trying to squeeze into a wetsuit in Sharks in Venice now though.
-
He stole Droid and numerous other men's hearts back then, and hasn't given it back since.
-
Got jesus on his side.
-
Traffic is good, Way of the Gun is great, The Pledge was good if fucking depressing, 21 Grams ditto. Stephen Baldwin... Bio-Dome, Fled, The Sex Monster, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, Slap Shot 2: Breaking the Ice, Fred Claus, Sharks in Venice... To name but a few... Why are you comparing the two?
-
and it was. It was unmemorable. It wasn't me that used it as some sort of reason for the love for him. Or when I pointed out that you could have cast a sack of shit in that role and not changed the film at all, I get accused of having shit taste. Is he your little love muffin and above criticism for a mediocre performance in an underwritten and uninteresting support role?
-
I'm sure Baldwin has been in something else good.
-
Oct 26, 2009 9:46:19 AM CDT
"i get accused of having shit taste"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Not for the Rudd comment, ya touchy little bastard. It's for the general lack of taste that you display on a daily basis. Yes, Jarv. You cast a sack of shit as a love interest in a romantic comedy and you don't change a thing. Jesus tittyfucking christ you're nuttier than squirrel shit today.
-
I was just saying that Del Toro wasn't given classic status due to Suspects. Del Toro came up because he seemed to become this instant classic actor (right after Traffic) when he hadn't really done that much. And because I used a coy connection between him, dawg and rudd to Silverstone you took way too seriously. I would say Yes now Dawg and Del Toro are great actors thats fine. And Clooney actually earned his status, Del Toro kind of did, but reading reviews for things like The Hunted and Things We Lost in the Fire everyone acted like Del Toro's been making classic movies since the 70s. Also Fear and Loathing sucked. I need to see it again. I guess sucked it a little harsh, I just don't think its as good as everyone else does. It has a Donnie Darko mentatlity fan base to it (except they are all stoners).
-
That could have been anyone. Shit could have been Baldwin.
-
I love it for about 45 mins, but then it starts to bore me. The problem is the book- it's basically 2 guys getting fucked up in a room- that isn't that interesting a premise.
-
Jesse Stone: Night Passage was a good made for TV flick. Fall Time, Threesome, 8 Seconds, Posse, Fled one of those has to be good? He worked with Pete Postlethwaite n Crimetime so maybe he likes him?
-
Steady on. Let's not get carried away. Baldwin was in 3-some and my teenage self seemed to like that.
-
He's way down the list though.
-
fucking sucks. Atrocious nonsense.
-
because it's a superb book- but what works on the page didn't translate well. A lot of the subtext is lost
-
I think. He dies about half way through though. And it doesn't make sense that his character is even in it.
-
again suffers because it's an unfilmable book.
-
Are a fan of Kari Wuhrer.
-
Requieme was that, and it worked.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Because I've talked to people that have said something similar, I didn't feel like that. So I love it. Fled is the only one out of those Baldwin flicks I've seen and it's shit.
-
Oct 26, 2009 10:07:32 AM CDT
I've read Last Exit to Brooklyn
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But haven't seen the flick. I really don't know how they'd film it, because there's not really a central narrative thread. It would be very episodic. Is it worth watching?
-
Oct 26, 2009 10:08:53 AM CDT
And the F&L book is absolute genius from start to finish
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Fucking hilarious.
-
Just like Requiem.
-
Do you reckon he took the last one down because he got complaints? Cause it was pretty harsh, even if he was a zombie or whatever he was supposed to be.
-
Oct 26, 2009 10:12:01 AM CDT
The Requim book is more adaptable
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
because there's more of a core narrative. But only slightly.
-
You going to do your comics review of Werewolves vs Vampires or whatever the comic is? Are you still submitting stuff to My Mavra?
-
Requiem is I hadn't seen the movie. Its just fucking long ass blocks of text with no break or acknowledgement of who the fuck is talking. It always pisses me off when your growing up and told you HAVE to write this way...unless your a fucking author then you can do whatever you want.
-
I am like 6 weeks behind on comics. Trying to catch up has been a bitch. I was thinking of doing like maybe one or two comics for Werewolves. I'm still not sure about the whole Mymavra thing, has Herb said anything to you Jarv?
-
Recently. Though he had that one from Nothing up forever.
-
Yeah I'll do a review. I've just been SOOO fucking lazy when I get home from work. I spend all day starring at a computer screen doing mindless work, that when I get home looking at a computer is the furthest thing from my mind. This job is making me stupider and lazy. I just get home and don't want to do anything but zombie out infront of the TV.
-
Oct 26, 2009 10:21:27 AM CDT
"zombie out infront of the TV"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That's life behind a fucking computer (doing work you're not that interested in). It leaves you with little inspiration or motivation when you get home.
-
And I have a degree in computers, but this job isn't about being good with computers. Its about putting information into a system, so I have to ask someone a question about everything. Because you need to know what button to press and what not to press, and its not like you can just look it up or figure it out. And the three weeks of training didn't cover shit. Plus its causing me to get carpool tunnel syndrome.
-
Have been here for 10 years. If I am still working here in 10 years, please kill me.
-
Last Exit is more accessible on first glance than Requiem but harder to film. I suppose that you can craft a narrative through following Vinny, but he's barely in 3 of the stories- and you'd have to dispense with the other characters in the coda that you've never met before. Tough as hell.
-
With the Paramount executives in charge of Paranormal Activity. I bet they are fucking awesome.
-
You should catch the bus instead. hehe
-
shit, man, I haven't done that in years. My condolences.
-
Its order specialist. But its close.
-
are my picks for the "lost" fat Baldwin years. I'm sure they're watchable, which is more than you can say for Crimetime, Biodome and a host of others.

-
I like both a lot and I've never done any drugs. The book is by far the best thing Hunter S. Thompson did.Anybody ever see Where The Buffalo Roam with Bill Murray its based on a few diffrent Hunter stories. The movie is a bizarre but slightly interesting kind of failure
-
no wonder Xi and I don't get along.
-
Done lots, but I draw the line at that one made from human kidneys.
-
Whats that called? You got a hook up?
-
I'm not certain it exists.
-
Either that, or my shoe that hit him upside the skull and only gave him a concussion instead of knocking him the fuck out like I intended so that he would not continue to throw into obvious double coverage! Fuck!
-
According to fear and loathing, Adrenochrome wires you.
-
Have a good one.
-
http://www.drugs.com/mtm/abbokinase.html
-
To be fair, he had a TD dropped by his receiver. Of course he did have some shit throws.
-
Only mostly! Drops happen, bad passes happen. Ok fine. But what is inexcusable is when you throw into obvious double coverage - continuously! That last drive was just so motarded I could not speak! Every pass he threw - including the last one that was intercepted, was into tight double coverage with a safety over the top or underneath. But he still threw the furshluginer ball anyway! That is what pisses me off. If you saw the look on Coughlins face, that was exactly how millions of Jints fans looked as well. Just incredulous that Eli would do that at this stage of his career. I, Ate. My. Spleen. With some fava beans and a nice chianti.
-
He played well, but the Steelers D was just better than the Vikings D.
Even so, the Vikes had a chance to win or tie in regulation. Losing in Pittsburgh to the defending champs is not a moral victory, but at least it was better than what the Bear cubs got!

I don't think you can take that recreationally.

Never heard of either of those teams.
-
Because that will decide the winner.
-
New Orleans - fun, fabulous, exciting, vibrant, great food, great entertainment, and lots and lots of free nudity! Indianapolis. The boringest, most inhibited, probably inbred, dumbest city in the midwest. But the Colts can play some football!

Dead Michael Jackson and a dead cow?You can't milk a dead cow!Too soon?
-
Did you check out the True Legend clip?
-
I have zero plans to see This Is It. My wife wants to see it though, but from what I hear it is already sold out.
-
First off, way to bring up Primo Carnera. Have you ever seen the Bogart movie THE HARDER THEY FALL? If you haven't, check it out. It is based loosely on the Primo situation, with Bogie as an ex-Sports writer hired as publicist for this gigantic but horrible boxer, and Rod Sterling basically playing the mob's main boxing man Owney Madden. It also has Max Baer and Jersey Joe Wilcox in it, and is the second best pre-1970s Boxing movie IMO (second only to THE SETUP) and one of the best boxing movies ever.
Secondly, I think the Klitschko brothers are better boxers than people think. Sure an older Lewis beat them, but they have gotten better since then and have really built their style on Lewis' - using the jab and their reach to effectively wear an opponent down.
Lewis mastered that, and he used to kill an admittedly over-the-hill Tyson. But his style was highly effective against many opponents like that. Of course, it would usually lead to a very uninteresting fight, but it was very effective. He knew what his strengths were and used them.
Plus I think the added size that these guys had would wear down on Ali and Tyson. Tyson never fought any really quality fighters of that size: Tillman was a bloated cruiserweight, Carl Williams was a smallish heavyweight (long reach though), Michael Sphinx should have just been a light Heavyweight, Larry Holmes was over the hill, Tucker was 6'5" but fought in the 220lbs, and Biggs (228lbs at time of fight), Frank Bruno (228lbs), PinklonThomas (217 1/2lbs) and Trevor Berbick (218lbs); none of these guys had the size of Lewis or the Klitschko brothers (6'5"; 250lbs for Lewis - with an 84' reach; and 6'7, 250+lbs, and a 80" reach for Vitali).
Mike Tyson at his peak was 5'10", about 220lbs and had only a 70' reach - he is giving up a lot to Lewis and the Klitschko brothers. It would be like expecting a fighter of the quality of Mayweather (heaviest ever 150lbs) to defeat a mediocre cruiserweight like Frantisek Kasanic IMO. -
Vikings D looked good, but when you make boneheaded turnovers and then let the opposing team score off of them - TWICE! - it makes it hard to win.
I know those were kind of fluke plays, but still TWICE? -
I keep forgetting too. I will check it out when I get home. Is it good? Conti, I think I was the one who brought up Primo, and yes, I did see the Bogey movie, and yes it was great.
-
For some reason I thought that was Xi because of our boxing discussion.
And yes, THE HARDER THEY FALL is awesome. When Jersey Joe Wilcox nails the big guy in the sparring session, man I could feel that. -
don't know if it's sold out here or not. Newpaper item said theres the movie, DVD, 'special' double Cd, and who knows what else, the jole applies!
-
I don't get why you didn't like Behind the Mask? Because it wasn't what you wanted?
-
I think it's an excellent film.
-
Because it was badly made.
-
But my memory could be wrong on that.
Who did Lennox ever fight that was worthy? Who have the K's fought- and beat, that was worthy? They are good technical fighters, and very smart. I do not begrudge them anything, but I stand 100% behind my thought that an in Prime Ali, or Tyson, or Foreman, or Joe Louis, would take them apart. I also think an in prime Larry Holmes would beat them. Tyson was a freaking force of nature when he first started. There is no way the K's could stop him he was relentless. Ali was bigger and stronger than he looks on old TV clips because he was so sleek. Joe Louis was the prototype. I am not sure anyone could have taken him in his prime- without the women to distract him. After Schemling beat him in the first fight, he simply killed the man in the second fight. Was unstoppable. Foreman was a force of nature as well, but he was beaten by a superior fighter and thinker - he is the only one on my list who might have been vulnerable in his prime to the K's. An older foreman - te one who took out Moorer, might have stood a better chance. -
i haven't seen much good stuff from him lately. he doesn't seem like all he's cracked up to be anymore.
-
No.
--Why?
Because. I had a bad day at work. I had to subvert my principles and kowtow to an idiot. Television makes these daily sacrifices possible. Deadens the inner core of my being.
--Let's move away then.
They have television everywhere, there's no escape. -
How? Like technically?
-
What's up with all the different endings? Because the ending I saw was laaaaame. Made it seem like overly-serious 12 year olds were allowed to direct the movie.
-
How is that a day trader with a 3-monitor setup (or anybody in this day & age, for that matter) has only a rudimentary grasp of how to work the internet?
-
I mean whats next? Who would ever put those sheets on that style of bed? Why would they lay out their bedroom that way? The placement of the tv doesn't make any sense. I can't believe she wore that top with those shoes. They used salt when EVERYONE knows you use baking soda? Gah it just took me right out of the movie.
-
I just watched the trailer for True Legend. I liked it. It is very stylish and looks very well made. I can separate gung fu movies from martial arts operas. Crouching Tiger and Hero are Operatic. Enter the Dragon and Five Fingers of Death are gung fu. Ong Bak (the first one) is gung fu with a Thai twist (Elephants!) When my wife and I saw Crouching Tiger, she cried all the way home. I made some sympathetic noises, and was rewarded for good behavior! I have no idea from the trailer if this will be operatic, but it looks highly stylized.
-
Is about Elephants
-
After I read (can't remember where) what you wrote about Ong Bak and Ong Bak 2, I thought you might be interested. I'd check it out but don't think it'll make it to my neck of the woods. Maybe on DVD.
-
It definitely looks worth checking out. How bout them Chargers? caint shovel dirt on them just yet.
-
Roy Jones at 193 beat John Ruiz at 230 for the WBA heavyweight crown. The weight diff is the same for prime Tyson and Prime Vitali. The reach and talent are obviously different though. You beat a man with reach by getting inside that reach and taking it to the body, to make him pull back and defend instead of jabbing you into kingdom come. Tyson was truly washed up when he fought Lewis. A Prime Tyson - and by that I mean pre-Buster Douglas, would have bulled his way in and punished Lewis or the K's, and made them drop their arms, then would have gotten inside and landed an uppercut that would have taken them out. I have zero doubt that prime Tyson would have demolished them. Just a flat out shame what Robin Givens did to that man!
-
Sunday, November 8th will be a litmus test for them. Denver kicked their asses, Kansas City didn't put up much of a fight, next is the Raiders (?) Then the GIANTS. Time will tell, but with the Chargers time usually tells them something they would rather not hear! BTW, wasn't that week 7, we're 3-3 plus a bye.
-
awesome in reign of fire. good in frailty - though the present wasn't really the interesting part.
-
the flanders on acid
-
amistead
-
Roy gave up 40lbs, but he only gave up 4" in height and 4" in reach. Tyson gives up 30-some pounds, plus 9" in height AND 10" in reach.
Secondly, Lewis and the Klitschko brothers entire style is to keep an opponent at bay and pepper him with jabs. And they are highly effective at it. Are they all around great boxers? No (although Lewis is a very smart boxer who doesn't make many mistakes). But they do know what works for them and they know how to implement it.
I think Tyson in his prime was a great fighter, but you are basically asking him to take on fighters in two weight classes above him. It is just an unfair advantage that they have - size and reach.
You say that Tyson would have come in there and punished Lewis and the K's, made them drop their arms and landed an uppercut. But what happens if the they keep him at bay and continue to land punch after punch? Any time he does get to close, just get locked up with him and force a break - they feasible could wear Tyson down over the course of 12 rounds. Plus landing an uppercut on a 6'5 or 6'7" opponent isn't easy when you are only 5'10" - almost all of your power is gone because you've had to have your fist reach past your head - the power comes from the leg thrust, now you're forced to use shoulder strength and arm strength, depleting much of it's power.
Personally, I give it to Lewis and the Klitschko's - they are just too big. -
over rated

i cut and pasted that one

I've been sick all weekend and wouldn't have the energy or motivation to pick a fight even if I disagreed with you, which I don't. And, no offense to the Colts, I personally prefer da Bears.
-
Fails because it has a first five minutes that the rest of the movie never matches. Its an odd film overall.

He always reminded me of Frazier and Tyson, similiar builds and styles, well okay outwardly anyways. I liked watching Ernie Shavers fight too.
-
Just hadda say that. Again.
-
can't be said enough.
-
Good. The opening, the big pull back through the solar system, into deep space and out of the girl's eye is breathtaking.Wish it had stuck closer to the book, with a few more folk going into space rather than just Jodie Foster representing Earth.
-
Excellent hard boiled dialouge, the best(and only) low speed chase ever filmed. One of the only movies that used hand guns correctly in a fight and got the geometry of combat right. It's the only movie where ex Mrs. Witherspooned seemed like a man. Good movie, damn good movie.
-
The cinematography (Adrian Biddle, RIP) is fuckin beautiful.Generally, the movie doesn't do what it says on the tin; helicopters v dragons, in numbers, over burning London (well, maybe a short flashback, that's all)Do it again but with more helicopter/ dragon action. Although Avatar might be doing something like that. Except Avatar hasn't got Adrian Biddle.

Been a while

I am sorry to hear you have been under the weather. Get better soon. How was the trip to Bruges?
-
This is one of those 'we will never know' type situations, but still fun to try and guess. BUt just like the man said - that is why they play the game. Speculation never won a fight or a game. I think a prime Tyson, who could actually box, and was not just a punching machine - thanks to Cus D'Amato, would not just have beat the K's, but would have destroyed them. Tyson knew how to box, he knew how to counter a jab and to slip inside an opponent. He could alos take a heavy punch and deliver insane punishment. The K's are very good technical boxers, as was Lewis, but I think Tyson wpould have surprised the hell out of them and Ali would have just confused the hell out of them, and then punched them silly. You disagree, but that is what make it so interesting. We will never know.
-
Sadly, it isn't Bruges. It's Brussels and it's not until next week. I have 9 days to get over this. Ugh! Thank you for the well-wishes. :)
-
I owe you a letter and some Skyping (as soon as I can talk without coughing), as well as apologies for my being a slacker. Haven't forgotten you, I promise!!!
-
Is it too late to talk about baseball? Too early for basketball? How about skeeball? Skeeball should be an official sport.
-
9 days should be plenty to shake that thing. But be aggressive. I suggest nude moonlight bathing followed by the ingestion of several newts. If that does not work, hire a witch doctor - they aint cheap though, to perform the 'cleansing' ritual. Just make sure you do not eat anything for 48 hours prior to it, or it could get ugly.
-
I stink at skeeball.
-
I liked him as a scrappy QB with Seattle way back when. But he just looks lost out there.

But they are so cute! I had one as a pet once. He was adorable. Saving nude moonlight bathing for the trip (hope the water isn't too cold). If he wants to dress up like a witch doctor, I say "Ting Tang, Walla Walla Bing Bang!"

But after moving and working I have zero time. And we STILL can't get the damn DVD player to work. So all I have to watch are DVR'd movies from Turner Classic Movies and AMC like Die, Monster, Die! The Fly (original), The Fly II, The Brain Eaters, etc etc.

Chipps, how is Way of the Gun overrated?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
No one I know (except now Xi and Jarv) rate it at all. And two of the things that Xi mentioned are two of the things that I loved about it. The slow chase is brilliant, and even to a complete novice like me, i could tell that the way the characters used their gun, the way they held it, their body position etc was very different to how it's portrayed in most flicks. It's seems very authentic. And it was the flick (as well as Breach) that made me like Phillipe as an actor.

There really is fuck all decent news
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
A Sherlock Holmes poster. A Rocky 7 non-story. Orci & Kutzmann NOT producing a movie. Fuck me. Shithouse.
-
it's terrible nowadays with the odd interesting review of an old film by Quint. I'd like to say it was different when I first started coming here, but it wasn't really. There was just better output from Hollywood to comment on.
-
that at least is worth a chuckle.
-
Whats that?
-
Today. As much as I think he was an overrated paedo, the article is so vile that I kind of disagree with it on principle.
-
The first film of the week long Halloween festival I'm having.Not great, not awful. I was confused for much of it, especially toward the end when they started tying it in with part 3, because it's yonks since I've seen any of the others. Good to see Luke out of Gilmore Girls getting some work, though.
-
They have an original concept, which is incredibly rare for a horror film, and I suppose they achieve what they set out to achieve pretty well (being gross). But the films are not that good, which is a shame.
-
Oct 27, 2009 5:32:42 AM CDT
I watched half of the the Edge of Darkness miniseries
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's decent, but it hasn't really grabbed me yet.
-
Also starring Luke out of Gilmore Girls (but not Marky Mark's brother because his head got smashed by two blocks of ice).
-
Saw got trounced at the BO by Paranormal Activity. Hopefully that'll be the last of them.

Mrs. Jarv hates it but I kind of like it even though I know it's atrocious.

"because his head got smashed by two blocks of ice"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Thanks a lot, Frankie. You bastard! I was never going to watch Saw 4 but now you've ruined it for me!
-
It'll be #7 in the run...
-
smashed his own foot in and then whatshername stabbed him in part 3. Saw 1 is good, 2 is OK, 3 is shit and I refuse to watch any more.
-
Sorry about telling people Marky Mark's brother got his head smashed by two blocks of ice while wearing a terrible wig and fake beard.Sorry about that.
-
his apprentice with him. I am deeply unconvinced by Saw 4,5,6,7....99 based on this simple fact.
-
They don't seem to want to do anything other than gross you out, and they do achieve that pretty well.Also, I have to take my hat off to the twisted bastards who come up with those contraptions. Thy obviously spend quite a bit of time thinking of ways to torture people, so you can't accuse them of being lazy.That's what bugs me about the Saw series, though. There's a few good ideas in there, and the set pieces work pretty well, but somehow they always end up taking that good stuff and making a crap film out of it.
-
a flashback to a murder that took place yonks before at the end of part 2. I am unconvinced by zombie marky marks bro.
-
He's in part 4 with the aforementioned terrible wig and fake beard. Definitely dead now, though. Not even a new kid can survive having his head smashed by two blocks of ice.I don't think he was a zombie, but it would be cool if he was. It would be cool if all the New Kids On The Block were zombies.
-
Cause you bastards are dropping spoiler all over the place. The Saw series is the glory hole of Hollywood. Cunts who want a cheap, disturbing thrill and don't care how they get it or who they get it from. Same applies to Hostel. Any torture porn really.
-
Amanda stabbed him. Twice. And he was bleeding to death from having been forced to smash his own foot in. Did he have a wooden foot as well? Rubbish.
-

-
I remember Donnie Wahlberg smashing his foot and getting stabbed, but I don't remember him dying. He's definitely not dead in Saw IV (Jigsaw is holding him prisoner as a part another elaborate scheme). I was confused during part IV as to whether Jigsaw was still alive or not.Fuck me, these films don't make a lick of sense.
-
Some kind of medical boot thingy.We are devoting far too much thought to the Saw series. If only I could think of something else to talk about...
-
After I've watched Saw V.
-
Jigsaw and Amanda both comment on him being fucked. How the fuck did Jigsaw get him in Saw 4? Jigsaw was dead at the end of Saw 3 and the reason Amanda was out and about is because he was too fucked to do it himself. What. A. Load. Of. Shit.
-
Only to learn that nobody makes one that plays DIVX files. So all those DVDs full of pirated movies don't play on that hunk of plastic so it's essentially useless to me. Returned that thing immediately.Watched a British movie called The Damned United. Easily one of the best sports movies ever. Perfect writing, amazing performances.I guess I'm the only guy on the planet who likes McConaughey in spite of the string of garbage he's inflicted on us in recent years.Vader, I sleep with only a sheet over me. Throw a comforter on there and I'll wake up in a pool of my own sweat.Woman suck.Work sucks.The news on this site sucks.Fuck this life.
-
Not even one minute. Are they the definition of torture porn, or are they just gorehound friendly?
-
Buy a PS3. Games, Bluray and also plays .avi's and such. It's a good deal.
-
Yeah, I looked into getting a PS3 but I saw that Panasonic will be releasing players early next year that will be DIVX enabled. I'm not much of a gamer so I'd never use the PS3 for anything other than movies so I can't really justify spending $300 on one.The Saw movies became increasingly torture porn I think. The first one was straight up horror to me but I refuse to watch any of the others.
-
It was the highest rated Blu Ray player out there, so I bought it. Thanks for info HOD. Maybe I will watch the first Saw one of these days, but it is a low priority.
-
3 was TP however. Saw 1 is quite good- it's a gorehound friendly horror movie.
-
but only when FF 13 ever gets released. I'd only use it for that and GTA4 and I can't justify it to Mrs. Jarv for just one game.
-
Ugh. I tried to play a Final Fantasy once. Gave it about 2 hours, and I couldn't work out what the fuck to do. So I binned it. They did have pretty cut scenes though so the ads always looked inviting.
-
and that you use it to it's potential, it's actually pretty great even if you're not a gamer. I've only recently discovered some of it's potential and I've had it for over a year. I've only got a pitiful 40GB but I'm going to upgrade my HD. Also, I installed Windows 7 last night. I only used it for about 20 minutes and already I can see that it's a huge improvement over the shitfest that is Vista. So if anyone's interested enough, I recommend it.
-
I have stubbornly kept reading them even though they long, long ago stopped being good. Then Jordan bites it, and a new writer stpes in, and instead of wrapping the book up in one volume like Jordan finally intended to do after 20 freaking years, the fucking blood sucking publishing house is now stretching it out to 3 new volumes from Jordan's notes and draft and his wife's 'editing'. Yeah, I will buy them, but only in paperback form.
-
I'm having probs with the insert image bit on the site. Doing it as usual, but it's not working. Thinks it's to do with some Embed thing they've added.
-
1 and 2 not torture porn, 3 yes. 4 is just crap all around, worst of the series. The kills suck and look so cheap that I can't call it tortore porn. And the story was all over the place. 5 is a lot like 2 and a lot of fun again. Saw 1 should be seen, its become a classic horror movie by now. I really want to know what people thought when Freddy 5 came out, was there this much backlash? Also PA beating Saw6 doesn't mean much. Saw 7 is already underway all it means is that other companies may actually open movies agahinst Saw. And really in the long run Saw 6 already earned its production cost back, so its still a hit. PA being this big of a hit means we'll get a string of bad horror films in the theaters for awhile.
-
I sleep with just a sheet all the time. Aren't they in California? So it's probably not that cold in September. And at the same time, the movie fucking cost like 15,000 to make??? What the fuck do you people want? Its like multi million dollar movies get a pass for gapping errors but some no budget hit needs to be picked apart? Also I just watched the Exorcist, I don't know if I ever sat through the whole thing before, or there was just that much more added to it. Conti's whole, well once they knew it was a Demon they should have done something. I'm sorry that scene in the Exorcist where she's in the attic and her candle burst into flames....I think it was just irresponsible for her to have stayed in that house with out having someone come in and check for gas leaks. Candles never just shoot up into flames. If you can complain about the side of the bed the girl slept on, then I can complain about Ellen Burstyn's lack of worry about house safety.

-
Whether that's a good thing or not, I don't know. They're not exactly horror, but I'm not sure they fall into the torture porn category (although I'm still not sure what that means). They seem to exist purely to make you uncomfortable while watching something horrible happen, which they do pretty well.Not sure if I'm a fan. I'll let you know after I've watched Saw V later tonight. And then Saw VI tomorrow.
-
Didn't think I would (the wife - now ex-wife - got me into them), but they're pretty enjoyable once you get to grips with them. Haven't played one since X-2, though, which was crap. I might give XIII a go when it comes out.
-
i keep hearing sort of described as an indie gem. that is how it is over rated. if you say it isn't rated, well then, fair enough, i agree with those people's assessment. it is a grave yard of broken actors looking for their pulp fiction

QT did something amazing with PULP - he brought Godard to the masses. And by that I mean he brought the French La Nouvelle Vague and took many of their advances and achievements, as well as sensibilities, and was able to put it in a mass appealing movie.
Sure other American movies had managed to use many of the same techniques those Frenchy perfected - BONNIE & CLYDE, THE GRADUATE, TWO-LANE BLACKTOP, MEAN STREETS, etc - but it took PULP FICTION and Scorsese's GOODFELLAS to really make those techniques so popular and widely accepted in main stream film to the degree it is today (you think Guy Ritchie and McQ would be using those techniques if those two hadn’t made them popular?), and only PULP was accepted by a big audience.
The BUT part is, that despite being so groundbreaking and good, it really signified how Tarantino was a one-trick pony, like his idol Godard. Where Scorsese's use of techniques was to create an emotional reaction, like Truffaut did with JULES & JIM and SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER, Tarantino used them to show the artificial nature of film - to basically point out how it is a movie and what you can do in film – like Godard did. And like Godard, that is all he had to say – he could only talk about film. Besides JACKIE BROWN, one of his best movies and most sophisticated and mature, whenever QT makes a film, it is always just about movies. That’s it. KILL BILL is him riffing on samurai flicks, Sphagetti Westerns, Kung Fu movies, and Female Empowerment in cinema; INGLORIOUS BASTERDS isn’t about WWII, it is about WWII movies and propaganda films. It is hipster chic wrapped around other people’s messages, just like how Godard was Film geek riffs masquerading as Pseudo-French Intellectualism.
And whatever little extra stuff he tries to put in there feels fake and forced (much like Godard’s horrible attempts at being political). QT knows a lot about movies, but that is all he knows, and after saying that in PULP FICTION why the hell would I want to hear the same message again and again? We get it, you know movies. Know tell me something about the real world, Potatohead.
That is my two-cents.
-
riffing on crap?
-
But I do know Cokey McFrankenstein head reinflicted John Travolta on the movie going public and for that he must be held accountable. Jackie Brown is by far giant mellon head's best movie. The source material he pilfered from was superior so its no wonder it's his best.
-
I used to think Reservoir Dogs was superb until I saw City of Fire. The pikey bastard robbed everything from that film. Pulp Fiction- you can actually see the start of everything that has been wrong with his films since in this- it's self indulgent. Seriously self indulgent. JB- Don't like. Bores me. KB1- Meh. At least it isn't boring. KB2- really boring DP- Atrocious. I haven't seen IB and am not going to as I've now been burnt too many times.

you had to frency up one of my favorite movies. now i can't like it on principal
-
He has become progressively more self-indulgent but the only flick of his i hated was Deathproof. My favorite is Jackie Brown. That's one I was a bit underwhelmed by but it improves on each subsequent viewing. And I love the Keaton crossover with Out of Sight, which is Soderberghs best flick for mine.
-
about fiction and dogs is that you can watch it through easily and it makes sense, but he leaves a shit load of clues and pointers and hidden stories that are quite subtle. in the background, basically inadibly you hear the fate of mr pink at the end. mr orange rats out mr pink over the tip. as bruce willis walks past a window you hear a story about a stolen trophy. it is quite a long list and i love it.

I got mine from Virgin, Jarv. I moved a month ago and the new place had a Virgin connection, so all I had to do was go into a Virgin Media shop, sign up, give them £30, and I walked out with a cable modem and wireless router that I installed myself. Took all of fifteen minutes and I was online. Speed is good, too, so I couldn't be happier with it.Morning, by the way.

That's funny. I used to work for BT and they really are a useless sack of cocks.

Can you review GI Joe for the site. I reckon your take on it could be a slice of genius. I've seen it and it's moronic, but fairly fun. It's also on the web for dl.
-
If you've got any suggestions, I'll take them.Jarv's 'of the dead' idea was pretty good, but that would entail watching Diary Of The Dead again, and I don't know if I can do that. It was hard enough getting through that one once.
-
I'm aware of that fact that it's not an "athon". Special circumstances and all that malarkey.
-
There are 4 Anaconda flicks. I was going to attempt an epic review of them, but since I've still only seen the first one and since you're a slack bastard in need of distraction I reckon you could do that.
-
Here's a good link for you... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_series On the right you can select the number of films in the series (ie. 4) and it will take you to a page that lists all the film series that have (4) flicks in them. And so on... A good reference tool for you.

Amityville 1-Christ knows (including remake I think 6) F13th but that's probably too many.
-
There's 4 of those. The Howling has about 8. Action movie wise is more difficult. An Indy Athon is doable but involves Crystal Skull at the end. Then there's always all 6 Star Wars films, but I don't think there's anything else that can possibly be said about them.
-
There's loads of them. They all suck, but there is loads of them

Alien and Predator has 8 but that involves 2 films that are deeply shit, 2 that are underpar, one that is divisive and 3 genius.

I was thinking about doing something horror-themed for Halloween and I'm really tempted by either Tremors or Pumpkinhead. Tremors would be most appropriate, I suppose.I'm going to nose around the internet and see which of those films I can find.
-
All 4 tremors films are mint. And Sacred.
-
then you could do Hellraiser. There are 4 proper films and another 4 films that I don't consider Hellraiser as they suck so hard.
-
There are shitloads of those aren't there? Kickboxer. Ditto.
-
Since you're watching them all anyway.
-
Stagevu has all four of those, so I'll be keeping busy with an epic Tremors review for Halloween.Aliens and Predators is definitely one I want to do, but that'll take a while. I also want to do all the Terminators. Fuck Star Wars, though. I'm done with that series, and, like Jarv says, there's not much left to say about those.The ultimate goal is to one day do all 13 Friday 13ths, but I have to wait for them to do a sequel to the remake for that to be possible.
-
One of those sequels has The Hoff in it, so that's got to be worth a watch. I hope there's a scene where he's drunk and trying to eat a burger.

Big pressure on a Tremors review, Frankie
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
If you fail, the hand of Chang will smite ye.
-
Who knew there were four Hell Comes To Frogtown films?Not me.
-
I've seen both and the English/ American cut of it is less bugnuts crazy. They just lost the plot completely with it. It's dreadful in every conceivable way, but hilarious at the same time. It's pompous, confusing, self-deluded, an overinflated opinion of it's own worth. The acting is diabolical, the villain incoherent, the final fight looks like it was cut together by a blind person and takes place at superspeed with speedy gonzales effects. It's a diabolical film. Having said that, though, it's far better than The Quickening.
-
Bizarre. DocP had told me about the other one, and the BBC one was so shit it inspired me to get the fucked up version.

That's the trouble with doing a Highlander review
by franklin t marmoset
All the different versions. I think there are at least three versions of Highlander II, one of which removes all mention of them being aliens (fuck knows how they managed that).
-
and the Ice Storm last night. I've never seen all of the Ice Storm, but that was filmed in the town where I work. I do laugh when Frodo gets fried though. And Poltergeist is such a brilliant movie. Alas I was too tired, but Halloween 5 was on, which I'm sure is ghastly, but I've never seen it.
-
There's got to be four of those, right?

I might have to revisit the Highlander series
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Because I don't remember The Quickening and I don't think I've seen any of the others. The first one is good though, isn't it? I remember it being good, but it was so long ago I hardlt remember it. The soundtrack rules, at the very least.

Jarvs done a Critters review, hasn't he?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I was sure he had.
-
I saw it earlier this year and it actually holds up pretty well. I've seen II and III, both of which are shit, and after that I stopped watching.People tell me the TV show was good, but I suspect they are either lying or demented.
-
Sorry, that should say Highlander.
-
I'm off to watch them, then write something that hopefully does not call down the wrath of Chang.
-
Apparently, the idea was to incorporate new Guns N Roses songs in the same way the original used Queen, but when Axl Rose found out Mario Van Peebles was cast in the film he gave the film makers an 'either he goes or I go' ultimatum, which lead to his leaving Highlander III Guns N Roses-less.I wonder why Axl Rose hates Mario Van Peebles so much? Weird.
-
What do you use to DL?
-
The first one is the best, the second has the Kriteball, the third has a young Leonardo Di Caprio and is set in New York and smells of poo a bit, and the fourth is set in space.
-
Actually, that's really easy to remove all reference to them being Aliens. Just cut that stupid big scene at the beginning
-
because he's a dirty paedo bastard.
-
that we all have to become Vegans or the world is doomed. Cunt. Shit like that makes me want to eat a cow.
-
That vegan one in the guardian. Fucking idiots.
-
I don't know how many times I've seen it, but it's always worth another watch.Droid, I've been using Vuze (a bittorrent client) for most things, but the Tremors films are all available on www.stagevu.com, so I'm downloading those from their site.I highly recommend stagevu to everyone. They've got all sorts of great stuff on there to watch, and the films usually clock in at about 500mb, which doesn't take too long to download. I get up to about 1mb per second on that site sometimes, so you get what you want pretty quickly.Alright, back to Tremors.
-
then cinemageddon is the way forward.
-
I'm on AOL. They rang up and offered me a free wireless router and 5 quid off my internet bill. "Go on then."Just needed to buy a USB wireless adapter, that was it. No modem with mine - but I have heard of folk with a router/modem thing going on.
-
and just buy one that should work then? I can surely just ask BT to turn the cunt on and stop annoying me with home visits in that case.
-
hardware at all.
-
and I'm not compooter savvy. Everything I needed (sans adapter) was in the box AOL sent me and the installation disc was a piece of piss to follow.The only problem came when the adapter I chose (from Argos) wasn't supported. So I bunged in the adapter's installation disc as prompted. Done and done.
-
I'm on a BT line. Didn't involve them at all.
-
With the snake orgy, was actually pretty good. Just a fun movie. Haven't seen 3.
-
It just does. Its just fucking nuts. And the last one, the Source is just fucking bizzare. The bag guy singing queen while beating someone up. It's an interesting concept (kind of reminds me of the green lanters) just terrible done. Though its MILES better then Endgame, god that movie is dog shit awful.
-
all garbage.
-
anyone seen this?
-
so I can't just plug something from the PC to the wall and then install something to do it? How much was the thing from Argos?
-

-
goes in a USB slot on your PC. It receives the wireless signal. I think it was £20.
-
The Sorcerer falls between being nuts and being dull with mostly being dull
-
so I need something to plug from the USB to the adapter and something else from the phone line in the wall to the wireless thingummy. Fuck's sake.
-
into the PC? Fuck.
-
If you've got an ethernet card in your PC, all you need is a cable modem, which plugs right into your PC's ethernet socket.If you want to go wireless, it gets a little more complicated. If your PC doesn't have wireless built in, you'll have to buy a USB adaptor of the type ThereWolf mentioned (they're about the size of a USB memory stick) and probably a wireless router to hook up to your cable modem.To simple it up a bit, the typical wireless installation goes:WALL SOCKET to CABLE MODEM to WIRELESS ROUTER to PC.Hope that helps.
-
Do you have a laptop or desktop? If you have a recent laptop (last 4 years) then it will almost certainly have a wireless modem built in. You don't need a USB dongle then. What you do need is a wifi modem AND a service provider. BT can provide both for you. o2 can provide both (this is the one we use because my housemate is on a 18 billion year iphone plan so he gets interweb for next to nothing). There are shitloads of providers out there, most with their own modems which they usually provide free if you sign up to a contract. It's really not that difficult. Just got the BT website and check it out. It should give you plenty of info that you can use with them or another service provider.

Your first step is figuring out what your PC needs
by franklin t marmoset
If you've got Wi-Fi built in (most modern PCs do), then that eliminates the need for a USB adaptor.Of course, if all you have is one desktop PC, you'll not need to bother with wireless at all. The easy as pie solution of a cable modem that sits between your wall socket and your PC is a piece of piss to set up.
-
Are you two typing in Japanese?
-
It's worth checking a comparison site to find out which providers offer the best service in your area. Just type 'broadband comparison' into Google and there are a bunch of sites that list all the different services, what their speeds and costs are, and whether they supply the modem/router for free (I think most do these days - Virgin gave me a cable modem and a wireless router for nothing, all I had to do was pay for two months up front and that was only £30).
-
I've got a PC that I haven't a clue what it's got- it's over 5 years old. (Aside from a lot of really cool software that it shouldn't have). How do I find out if it's got a modem or wi-fi? My old laptop does, but is fucked, so I suppose I could get our IT monkey to cannibalise it for me?i'm really good with software, but actual computers leave me hopelessly confused.

I'm just shit with actually setting computers up.

Tremors 2 awaits.It's weird. I love the original, but I've never gotten around to seeing any of the sequels. I hope they're good.
-
so I haven't a fucking clue what is or isn't in it. I used to be able to do it with the laptop, but I've got a recollection of plugging the PC into the wall and not being able to connect. This suggests that it doesn't have a modem, but I'm more than prepared to admit to being thick about it.
-
killing graboids with a remote controlled truck and a shitload of explosives. Tremors 3 has the legendary ass-blasters in it, and Tremors 4 features ye olde burt.

There are no wombles in North London. I suspect your intimate knowledge of Wombles comes from the days when you go cottaging on Wimbledon rather than Clapham common. On an entirely different note, I think that Great Uncle Bulgaria was a paedo.
-
anyway, why change what is a winning formula?
-
Seriously. What sort of customs officer git would cavity search bagpuss?
-
I'm inclined to think that Great Uncle Bulgaria was neither their Uncle, from Bulgaria, nor Great. I'm leaning towards him being some old bloke who, through a turn of luck, has assimilated himself in the Womble clan by everyone assuming that someone else knows him. When in reality he is just a dirty old paedo who lures unsuspecting wombles out in the open so that he and his partner Jarv can take turns cornholing the poor bastard.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Even though I know very little about Dune. Alien 5? Yes. Werewolves on the Moon? Yes, but only if Renny dies of a drug overdose.
-
I never understood how come they were popular. Seriously, it's about a tribe of bin scrounging pikey cunts under the rule of a blatant paedo living in a ludicrously posh bit of south London. They'd have been arrested in about 15 seconds if they existed. The 21st century equivalent is them living in a single room squat in Queens Crescent and Orinoco is blatantly a crack whore while the rest of them sell oregano in Camden Lock to idiot tourists who've come from Fulham looking for A Camden Experience.
-
You will quite simply be disappointed then. It's abysmal and I struggled to get through it.
-
It's the wrong scale for him. Far too big and epic. Mind you, everyone said that about Jackson and as much as ROTK and TT puts me too sleep Fellowship was fucking epic.
-
LALALALALALALALALALALALA Droid is lying LALALALALALALALALA
-
But I also think that it benefits from not featuring some ridiculously huge battle scene. Except for the prologue of course. TT especially boils down to run, run, wave sword, kill orc, run, run, talk to tree, run, run, epic battle scene, roll credits.
-
You will find out and agree. It's as boring as batshit.

is that Jackson moved Shelob into ROTK. This unbalances both films as he takes far too fucking long getting there, it makes the hobbit shit in TT pointless and dull, and then it condenses the rest of the hobbit shit in ROTK. Absolute bollocks.

Is that despite it's lack of originality, it still has the potential to be amusing. It's the dawdling delivery that kills it. You obviously know that it's weak, therefore you try to keep adding to it to try to safeguard it. Not only did you add the George Michael line, but you added ANOTHER line in a seperate bloody post! Just terrible delivery on that joke, and that's why it's weak. Your Barry Humphries joke was short sharp and mildly witty. Therefore amusing. Delivery is everything.

I did however see Trick R' Treat. It was ok, the Dylan Baker story didn't make any sense though. Like something was edited out. I heard the Blu Ray has tons of extras. I found a making up book online, it seems like every movie these days has one? Fun little movie, about what I expected, actually nicer looking then I expected. And I saw How Wants to be a Serial Killer, its like a lame rip off of Man Bites Dog, but not as violent nor no where near as good. Horrible dog shit actually.

See? Not funny. I suppose you were saying a You know how I know your gay?" joke because I like Paul Rudd, right? Sorry Series. Your jokes are weak. This is not my fault. I'm just the messenger.

just in time for half term. Saving up to go to Spain for Christmas, though.
-
OH look at me, I'm Jarv, I save money, I don't shop at Tesco's, I go to Spain 5 times a year, America is full of fat people, That actor is gay, Computers confuse me. Well I'm saving up to go to VIRGINIA for christmas. Yeah you know what we got there that Spain doesn't got? Freedom.
-
I find most of the CoC quite amusing. It just seems to me that your jokes especially are unfunny. But really, comedic taste is subjective. Lots of people think that Dane Cook is funny. I don't.
-
Whats right with Paul Rudd?
-
Just nothing to get particularly excited about. He's human meh.
-
Spain or Portugal? Are you getting an itch for some bigfoot trim?
-
Is that another British comedian who dresses up as a women? I loath the day there is a Skinny British comedian dressed as a women and black american actor dressed as a fat women buddy comedy. Somehow Adam Sandler will be involved.
-
It's always nice, I can smoke in the pub.

I didn't think you could do that.

Frightening prospect. That comparison is very harsh. I suppose if you shaved a portuguese woman you'd get a sasquatch.

Last time I was there, in the Canary Islands. My brother threw up all over the bathroom? I mean come on, what kind of place causes someone to drink that much?

cross dressing. Eddie Murphy didn't play his mother in The Nutty Professor. Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze weren't drag queens. That fucking Wayans brother didn't do it in Scary Movie 2. There's untold tranny American comedies.

"what kind of place causes someone to drink that much?"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Key West.
-
Of course Droid knows about that place.
-
the score is about a thouand times better than the movie...
Series, whats the deal with those regal passes they sent us forthis is it? Do they have to be used for that film? I've already seen the docu and didnt really want to waste the tickets. I'm still writing a review, but will I get busted for using the tickets for somethng else?
-
Mr. Smith was the bomb in Priscilla queen of the desert

Tideland....It's funny, I haven't heard anyone who wasn't already pretentious call it that. They have been ragging him since Brazil, and then six years will pass, and they give him a reprieve and call it a masterpiece.
Parnassus looks like Munchausen to me, and I loved Munchausen. -
I didn't get the tickets, I got no regals in my state. I bet you could use them for something else. That or get tickets for this is it and sneak into something else.

"Of course Droid knows about that place."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Again, without any understandable reference. Why, pray tell, is it "Of course Droid knows about that place"? Presumably a gay person lives there, which would of course render the joke hilarious in it's wit and insight.
-
I thought we were talking critics. The problem with calling something pretentious is that it sort of loses it's meaning. Ithink most people use it when something irritates them or they diconnect from it. I heard someone call Drag Me To Hell pretentious recently and realized that the word has lost all of its meaning.
-
one that treats you as a fucking adult, won't sell you guns before you can buy booze and allows you to drink at the same age as you can vote. Not to mention that it isn't full of Republican neo-fascist cunts that grip the bible with one hand and their shotguns with the other who despite being stupider than plankton sit in moral judgement on the rest of the world while pissing away natural resources and eating enough to feed a family of 7. That kind of country.

I'm actually not a massive Gilliam fan
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I think his best flicks are 12 Monkeys and Fear & Loathing. But that's just me.
-
Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, Hillary Swank in Boys don't Cry. You lot do it more than us.
-
You really do need all jokes spelled out for you. Yes, Key West is a gay destination.
-
from his argument. I don't want to go into it, because it's spoiler heavy, but he had a good point.
-
Fear and Loathing and The Brother Suck. Maybe theres a good movie in Grimm, but it'll probably never see the light of day. I think he tried to act like the same thing that happened with Brazil happened to him on Grimm but I don't buy it. Haven't seen Tideland and I don't know why.
-
Suppossedly Key West has a high gay population/desirable destination for gay vacations. Maybe so maybe not I don't know really. I found it to be a target rich enviroment for females in skimmpy clothing and low inhibitoins due to booze.
-
are there actually Lay girl bars in Australia like they say in Priscilla?
-
Comment. I guess I should have added in that my brother was only 18.
-
Fear took me a long time to appreciate. I wasnt sure I liked the 'feels like a trip' experience the first time through. It also might have been that the theater was so dirty that my feet were literally covered in chocolate milkshake when I left. Oh wait, theaters don't sell milkshakes....Hell!
-
So if I was to say "Series would fit right in in Byron Bay" you would immediately know exactly what I was talking about? You seem to be so infatuated with the sound of your own voice that you assume that all others are amused as well.

Seriously. I have a laugh meter at my desk and its always going off.
-
I don't know what that is. I've only seen Priscilla once when it first came out and don't remember it at all. What was the Lay girl bar?

because he thought it was pretentious, or because you didn't care either way?

Yeah that makes no sense.

Fuck me. You said something funny. Well done.

Trying to explain The Godfather, by saying the it It insists upon itself. While I agree with him, its a dumb way to critic a movie.

All of us. I blame winter.

Apparently there's loads of bars in Sydney like Priscilla Queen of The Desert where men dressed as women lip synch the likes of Ce Ce Peniston. I just wondered if it was true that's all.
-
I just recently saw Skellig and was impressed with it. Any of you Brits see it?
-
"females in skimmpy clothing and low inhibitoins due to booze." Yeah, that was my impression of Key West when I went there 4 or 5 years ago. I was absolutely smashed the entire time and there was some sort of Hawaiian Tropic competition there. I vaguely remember making a fool of myself trying to crack on to one of the contestants. Funny times.
-
I've seen quite a lot of brilliant stuff on telly recently. And a lot of shit. I've come to the conclusion that True Blood is complete crap and I'm never watching another episode. Spiral's quite good as well.
-
Probably. Sydneys a bit of a shit city, and there are a lot of weird goings on there. That said I've only been there twice for a grand total of about 5 days. So I don't know. And I haven't asked.
-
I wasn't that fussed about it to begin with. I think I'm seeing Thirst this weekend, which I am quite looking forward to.
-
He is trying to hide it. Did you eat only at Hooters while you were there as well?
-
The movie? By the Hatchet guy? I've been raving about that for like a year now!
-
all the convicts that I work with all seem to be from weird places in the ass end of nowhere. Fucking strange. They didn't know either- one of them had never even been to fucking sydney. I was just wondering.
-
with the boy from Son of Rambow finding a strange bird-like homeless man in the shed behind his house. The bird-man is Tim Roth and since it's British it's mostly really dark with the kid's babysister near death and Roth's angel hobo a really grimy, alcohoic thing with torn up wings. Fun times!
Jarv, did you ever see those Pratchett miniseries, like The Colour of Magic? Ae they any good? -
Oct 29, 2009 11:14:48 AM CDT
I warned you about True Blood, Jarv
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's dire shit. The missus was watching it with her friends and she gave up after about 10 minutes. Her friends fucking loved it. I heard them talking about how hot the guys are and how erotic it is. Chicks really are retarded sometimes.
-
Modern Family, Sons of Anarchy, 30 Rock. Though Venture Brothers is back on, I still don't know whats so AMAZING about it? I should be watching Monsters Vs. Aliens tonight.
-
it's quite good. It's got subtitles anyway and I don't recognise the language, which I would do if it was French/ Spanish/ italian (not to mention that the baaaaing would give it away if it's portuguese). Besides, it looks German/ Scandinavian.
-

There's a Hooters in Key West?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Didn't see one. I did go to one in Miami though, although the chicks really weren't that great.
-
Nah, I'm kidding. But unfortunately, it isn't very good.
-
Is that anygood? Its been on the BBC over here. I still want to see that Zombieland reality TV show you blimey's made.
-
is OK. I wouldn't jump through hoops for it, but some of it is nicely done. Obviously, being as it is British, the effects are frankly shit.
-
Yep thats Hooters.
-
Kindred: The Embraced (a wretched 90s vampire show) redux. Except now that it's on HBO and has boobs and faux-vamps are popular, everyone is raving. Nope, it sucks.
-
that isn't a fraction as clever as it thinks it is. It's trying so hard to be cool and American and it can fuck off and die bleeding in a gutter. Worst thing I've seen in ages. Dead Set is good- the first half is actually brilliant. I don't know that it will translate for you yanks too well, though, there's a lot of references to stuff in Big Brother. Watch it in one hit as a film (that's what I did) and it's much better than as a series- it's just shy of 3 hours long all in.
-
Quite frankly, the fx and production are what ran the otherwise perfectly good Neverwhere into the ground. Outide of the fact it looked the entire thing had been shot through a dingy piss-filled beer bottle, the 'Beast' was just a cow with a spikey carpet thrown over it. Seriously, if you are going to make a fantasy in 1998 don't use 1865's special effects.
-
Second worst thing after that fucking HORRID unfunny superhero comedy on ITV that was so shit it deserves to be kicked to death by a herd of angry rhino and then the splattered remains used as fertilizer.
-
Series 7, The Contenders to become a real show! I need to watch that movie again.
-
Sunny is on, and its still good. Nip/Tuck is OK right now, I think they've done all they can do with that show. Its like the best Soap Opera ever.
-
Did you hit little Havana while in Miami? Becasue there are some fine ass latinas there and Cuban food. Actaully its the ONLy reason to go to Miami now that I think about it.
-
it's well written and acted and has a reasonable stab at getting the first two Discworld books onto the screen. I don't think they were the best Discworld ones to adapt- the Guards books would be a much more logical starting point.
-
Mrs Jarv kept at it, we're 4 episodes in and I missed last weeks. Episode 1 was juvenile wank, Episode 2 started well, then devolved into adolescent girl wank, missed 3, 4 was total and utter wank. It will not be getting one more second of my time.
-
that's bugging me. The idea was that they were basically shit superheros and lived in the real world and it just wasn't funny.
-
Greys Anatomy. I finally told her I couldn't take it. Season 2 was ok, tolerable. But now I just want to hit every single person on that show in the face.
-
I liked that movie, just saw it recently.
-
It seems to me that it's mainly chicks who like it.
-
and boyfriends.
-
They all fucking love that show.
-
Its too bad about the show because the books are actually pretty fun. Ball really cocked it up with all his changes.From what I understand season 2 was particularly bad with the changes Ball made
-
The missus does watch that but I told her flat out that I refuse to watch it. I base my refusal on absolutely nothing but instinct since I've never seen a single episode.
-
And it makes me die inside. Gray's Anatomy- I pulled the trigger on that 25 minutes in to the first ever episode when I realised that a)I wanted to push every character into a vat of acid; b)nobody was going to get their tits out; c)I hate Sandra Oh; and d)it's a soap opera.
-
That’s a true statement amongst all males.
-
which I will never now be reading because of it. It's a great idea squandered and that's what bugs me.
-
Honestly mate, your pathetic attempts at insult/jokes are moronic and embarrassing. It's no wonder you find turgid dreck like that family show hilarious.
-
how did you make it through 2 series? Fuck man, that's harsh.
-
We are all on an internet movie discussion board. I don't think it can get any worse.

Go to the Dune TB and read the last exchange (from my last post down) between Cobra--Kai and KillaKane. Cobra is funny. Learn from him, mate.
-
"We are all on an internet movie discussion board. I don't think it can get any worse."
-
The second season of it was actually not half bad. Like good ER back in the day. Never saw season one. Every season they have these EVENTS! And the first one I think had Christinia Ricci and a bomb in someone chest, and the dude from Early Edition (Friday Night Lights coach). That was actually really good. There used to be some good things about that show, like the mean black lady she used to funny and interesting. Now she's as dumb as the rest of them. After season 3, or whenever the Watchmen guy died its been complete shit.
-
I type as I talk and I realize that 100% of my humor is lost because most people just read text straight. So of course it doesn't make sense.
-
Funny is so subjective that its stupid to argue. But it seems like Droid needs his humor to be repetitive, if he's usinig Cobra Kai as a starting point. And not knocking Cobra I think he's funny to, just thats not how I do funny. Droid do you think the Onion is funny?
-
You do funny? The actual content of Cobra's posts are quite often amusing. I've not read the Onion too much, but I've seen a few things on it that I find amusing. Like the new apple laptop that does away with the keyboard and only uses a wheel. Or the headline "Thousands of dog owners across america want to know Who's a good boy?" (or something like that. I saw that joke a long time ago.) Is the Onion the barometer of funny now?
-
But hey you used another fucking talkbacker? Why can't I use a NONE funny source. I actually hate the Onion. But some of their headlines are amusing. Between that/Colbert Report and the Daily show they all can be summed up in the 10 minute SNL Weekend Update segment. Thats why I hate them. Just usually pretencious douchy people fucking LOVE the Onion. Always sending you links or their stories.

Never heard of that. What was it? I imagine it to be something like Kentucky Fried Movie or Amazon Women on the Moon. Just a whole bunch of skits edited together to make a feature length.
-
I'm off! Have a good one peeps.

Its complete shit. It wishes it was Kentucky Fried Movie. It tries to be. Go you tube search the Steven Segal Onion Movie clip. Thats the only remotely funny part. Its the second worst comedy I've ever seen right behind Year One, granted its a distant second mind you.

I was reading Astronomy a few years ago and they postulated that humans may have come from Mars.Was it Astronomy, or What Fruit Loop magazine?Anyway, it's highly plausible that Martian microbes found their way here after hitching a lift on an asteroid or comet or something.

I have another name to add to the list of unattractive women who fucked their way to a hollywood career. Tallulah Bankhead. And a more apt last name could never be found! She was noted for throwing parties that lasted for days, and she was frequently in the nude at them. She also played the Black Widow on the Batman tv series.
-
and the DVD set of the X-Files, the Black Oil set up. A nice compilation of all those 'Mythology' epps. Pretty dated but good fun. Gotta like those 2 foot 'cell phones' w/ the 7 inche antennae on'em they were using.

He put his email address in the TB, was not hard to figure out the rest, I am a Polish Jew!

Hola mi amigo! Subs set up an e-mail account for the CHOSEN (Subs, Cheeses, moose, watershit) so they could conspire to do who knows what. The name he used was Malackow, don't know where the ski came from. I read your post about the earth telescopes...over in the Avatar TB earlier, good stuff!

I was thinking about you the other day. I saw an ep of bizarre foods. the guy was in Philippines. He are all kinda stuff, but the least bizarre and what looked the best to me, was the cashews that can only be found there. And they had all kinds of extra spices and seasonings added to them.

you're talking about?

She REALLY slammed her Mother but good in it. I've forgotten what it was titled-use the Googles there and you'll be able to find it--came out mid'90's if I remember right. Ze Deitrich she did get around.

But they were large cashews, much larger than we see here. And they had some amazing flavors added to them. The fat dude was having a foodgasm eating them.

I mean did their mommies swipe their boyfriends while they were in H.S or what?
-
Let it go. I'm not interested.
-
And I think you are the one who put her on the list.
As for Marlene, she will always hold a spot in my heart...here was a woman who was the biggest star in her home country, and fled it because she found what they were doing was morally despicable. She is the woman that Jane Fonda wanted to be (except Jane couldn't see the vast differences in what we were doing in Nam and what Hitler did in Germany, and it is to long to go into details where she fucked up).
Plus the image of Marlene running up to kiss Jean Gabin (one of the few French actors I know who DID fight for the liberation of France, and was actually involved in North America and Gen. de Gaulle's Free France forces) on the tank while the liberation of Paris was going on is just damn awesome. -
I am getting old. Yeah, I put her on the list earlier. What triggered this inclusion was that one of her movies was on TCM tonight. I was flipping from W.S to it. W.S is better. Pedro's 80's hair is doing well, but Burnett is smokin!
-
I agree w/ pretty much all that Conti Pops. It's been ages since I read the book, but her daughter was pretty blunt about how her mother operated. Fonda in 'Nam '72. Embarrassing.
-
You know I'm right. Just a dye job away.

It was Thailand, not Philippines. He was in Phuket. Which is just about what my brains have said tonight.

Apparently Madonna was talking about doing a Dietrich movie 20 years ago(!) while Marlena was still around--when Marlena found out-she wrote/or called her daughter-is this Madonna person who I think she is?! Is told Yes. Marlene's reply--OH PLEASE!!! *rolls eyes in disgust*.
-
For the love all that is Holy do not DO IT. I made that mistake last night and except for one line by the blonde chick and the beat down of the skaters, I didn't laugh once.I wasn't on the bash Rogan bandwagon before this movie but I've now reserved a seat.
-
I think she was stupid and acted horribly (and never really apologized) but I never got the intense hatred towards her compared to McNamara and Westmoreland - you know, the guys who actually LIED to us about how it was going and got us stuck in that quagmire.
-
..related to Holly Goodhead?
-
probably because they weren't photographed sitting on a Chinese made anti-aircraft gun and saying in effect that she wished she could use it against bombers.
-
-though I found I like McNamara-despite what the bastard(s) did to us 'Nam and all that. Yes I know that's weird on my part. 'Fog of War' and all that. Maybe I just liked hearing what he had to say and was interested in his story. 'Nam well there's no fucking excuse for it period. I lost a cousin there trust me I don't have anything good to say about THAT.
-
I heard this story before, so I had to look it up on Wikipedia to get the facts right. Here it is:
In 1933, Bankhead nearly died following a five-hour emergency hysterectomy for an advanced case of gonorrhea, which she claimed she contracted from Gary Cooper. Only 70 pounds when she left the hospital, she stoically said to her doctor, "Don't think this has taught me a lesson!" -
Ahhhh the good old days. They have goats in the Phillipines don't they Xiphos? you better keep your stables locked.
-
I was too young at the time to really know, but if I had to take a wild guess I think it was because of two circumstances. Back then - and even to some degree today, it is considered unpatriotic to criticize your government when it is at War. Then she did a second and arguably worse thing, and visited the 'enemy' - I think. I have to look that up. That was the straw that broke the back. I strngly disgaree with the notion that criticizing the government during war is unpatriotic, hell that is the fucking thing we are supposed to be fighting for - freedom to say and do what we want! But even I would not want a famous American to become a willing and enthusiastic propaganda tool - which is exactly what she was, for the people I am fighting against.
-
BUT there is a big difference between someone who says stupid things and the architects of a disaster that cost thousands of American lives.
I hate to bring up a Germany comparison, but I always felt a lot of people hated her because she was part of the Knife in the Back for Nam. Sorry, Jane Fonda didn't cost us that war. -
I believe they are! And Pussy Galore figures in there somewhere.
-
Apparently when she first showed up in Hollywood-she was a hooker. Not exactly an original career track in that field, mind---but--considering the bigtime BruceandDemi image cultivated in the 80s and 90's--if this had gotten around while she was a bigdeal---amaaaaaaaaaaaazin'. I think it was the old Movieline magazine I saw That blurb in...
-
Maybe some of that leftover trick sperm, came back to haunt her?
-
saying stupid things is one thing. I mean look at all the "brave" anti war celibrites today that shoot thier mouts off...overseas that is, but saying what she said and allowing herself to photographed on triple A IN the country that you are fighting is another thing entirely.
-
They share the same chin.
-
Criticize all you want, but do not Fonda-le the enemy I am fighting and expect to be welcomed back with a kiss and a smack on the ass.
-
----but it was how Movieline operated-they'd say 'So and so actor who is 'on the wagon' was spotted snorting half of Peru while clubbing on the Strip during the weekend' or whatever. And you'd fill in the blanks on who it was. This was a rather Obvious nod at Demi and Bruce if I remember right....
-
And I am not saying I don't think Fonda should be held to task, BUT once again why is the hatred to her so much more intense than towards McNamara and Westmoreland? She did something repugnant; they did something that cost lives and mislead a nation.
I just don't see why people direct all this hate towards her and not towards the men who mishandled the war completely. -
How many people could identify a photo of Westmoreland or McNamara as opposed to Fonda? Also, as bad as the policy and decisions were by those two and others, they were not actively supporting the 'enemy'. I am not saying it s equitable, but I am saying what she did was reprehensible. But, in all honestly, I never got worked up over Fonda (accept back when she was smokin hot during her 80's workout phase!)because it was over before I got into the service.
-
She's actress and comes from a family of actors. Westmoreland and Mcnamara, while semi-well known at the aren't actors. Which now leads into a whole different discussion about the worship of celebrities.
-
I just have a thing about over projecting hatred towards people. It is like all these guys hated Bush during his Presidency MORE than they hated Bin Laden. Sorry, I think Bush was an asswipe, an idiot, and horrible president, I don't put him any where near the same moral plane as Osama Bin Laden.
Now, obviously, Bush plays a bigger impact on our daily lives than Bin Laden did (and I could easily understand the vehement hatred after the economy and Katrina), but when people label him or even Cheney (who I think committed war crimes by oking torture) as worst people than Bin Laden and about a dozen other tyrants and terrorist, sorry, but you don't have a leg to stand on. Those guys are horrible politicians, strategist and maybe assholes - Bin Laden is a murderous psychotic zealot with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
In that same vein, Jane Fonda was a dumb, self-centered and delusional actress - Westmoreland was a General who lied about how the war was going. Not the same level of wrongdoing. -
We are in lock-step tonight.

Hyperbole is as much a part of everyday life as it is here
by toadkillerdog
On these boards. Emotion plays a large part of that - unreasoned emotion. It is stupid, but we all do it - yeah Rivera! Sorry, back to topic. Yeah, people think Bush was worse than Bin Laden need to get smacked with walrus dick. Cheney is a Tongue Cleaner of the highest order. I am tempted to say he is a war criminal, but that would be hyperbole.
-
I don't think proportionallity has ever really existed in the large scale, individuals yes but as a group no. look at AICN everything is either "The Greatest" or it "fucking sucks". No inbetween Hardly anybody says I liked this this and this about movie but didn't like that that and that and overall I though it was OK or it didn't quite work. instead it' total poloraization.
-
mirroring each other. Its down right spooky. Is it a full moon over there?
-
Time to take the pooch out for his nightly 'what the fuck am I out here for?' stroll around the hood. Why is it so damn difficult to find a place to take a dump? I swear he holds his shit - unless he smells my neighbors fresh cut grass and sees him smiling proudly at his deep emerald lawn as if all it needs is a fresh steaming pile of dogshit to crown it!
-
I was just at my gym, and I met my ex-trainer there. He mentioned something called "Cross Fit", a type of workout. He says it is big with the Marines. I was wondering if you've heard of it?
-
That isn't hyperbole.
-
and if they make him president of Europe then I will shit one.
-
correct me if i'm wrong, but cheney's only power came through bush right? his was the executive authority that cheney was using.
-
It is way, way, way too early for me to weigh in on a political debate.I'll just say they're all cunts and leave it at that.

I thought it was a horror, but it turned out to be more of a thriller, which spoiled my Halloween season a little bit. It also turned out to be not very good, although I might have enjoyed it more if someone hadn't told me what the twist was.Timothy Olyphant was pretty good in it, but whenever I see that guy be good in something these days it just reminds me of how shit he was in Die Hard 4.
-
I was listening to the first couple of Ramones albums yesterday, which put me in the mood to watch End Of The Century, a great documentary about he Ramones.Could I go out and buy it? No, it was 10.30 at night, nothing was open.Could I go out and rent it? No, it was still 10.30 at night and Blockbuster wouldn't have it anyway.Could I find a link in less than a minute, start a download, then be watching End Of The Century 20 minutes later?Yes, I could, because the internet is MINT!

he was good in go. his name reminds me of lord of the rings.

Why would anyone demand Boondock Saints II in their area?
by franklin t marmoset
Didn't they see the first one?
-
i still say the one on the left looks like he was trying to draw an old school batman mask on.
-
I haven't seen that film in a while, but if I were to watch it again it would just remind me of how shit Timothy Olyphant was in Die Hard 4.
-
good, average film
-
that's like looking at human faeces and complaining about the lump of corn.
-
Boondock Saints was terrible, and Timothy Olyphant was awful in Die Hard 4.
-
sounds like a less good version of the ring.

I've also got A Perfect Getaway
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Might watch it tonight. And I also know it's a thriller, but don't know what "twist" there is, so don't say anything please.
-
But I don't remember anything about it except I think there was a gunfight in a church!? I think Olyphant was miscast in DH4.
-
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO Leave it alone. Or make the cyberpunk wizard of oz survival horror Alien. Wankers.
-
see Scream 2 or Deadwood. He plays frightening nutjob badass well. He was just shit. He reminded me of that russian cunt in XXX but with a better tailor.
-
Has that horrendous bag of bones Zellweger in it. That's bad enough, but it also has that complete bag of cocks Bradley Cooper in it. No fucking way, José.
-
that's it. i'm off to bed

this is like an absent father returning home to the joy of the family, only for them to discover he's a degenerate alcoholic that beats them.

"Olyphant wasn't miscast in Die Hard 4"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Horseshit. He was miscast because he does not come across as intelligent enough to be a brainiac cyber geek. It's like Hugh Jackman as the uberhacker in Swordfish. No. These guys aren't built like a brick shithouse. In that age group it should've been someone like Guy Pearce. Fucking Willem Dafoe seemed more intelligent in the shitfest Speed 2!
-
I meant to say Droid and Chipps did you see that useless bag of cocks Mitchell "bestest bowler ever" Johnson was named cricketer of the year? What a load of shit.
-
Oct 30, 2009 4:59:45 AM CDT
That's not to say Olyphant can't play...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
the frightening nutjob. He can. But he's more like the muscle than the brain. He'd be perfect in a Mr Joshua (Lethal Weapon) type role.
-
but he didn't actually do anything geeky. Seriously. All he did was tell his underling nerds and Maggie Q (who I really want to fuck) to do it for him. Sure, they talked about him being some sort of genius, but if he were then he wouldn't have needed the ridiculous team they assembled. It's just another example of what a shit film Die hard 4 is. Thanks for the Swordfish reminder. That's a bag of wank as well.
-
is absolute genius compared to (s)Hitman.
-
needs more work. I think she should be the lead in Alien 5: Earth. That me and conti will start writing on receipt of first truckload of blow.
-
Because even in a scorched earth you need good hygiene.
-
Never been interested enough.
-
that I actually struggle to think of anything she's been in that wasn't wank: Bridget Jones= point missing wank and one of the worst adaptations everBridget Jones 2= wank Cold mountain= wank Chicago= wank She must have been in something.
-
Don't. I can't stress this enough. Avoid.
-
Good lord.
-
I like Jerry Maguire and Me, Myself and Irene (I may be in the minority on these). And that's all I can think of. It's the shit films, but also the fact that she's particularly fucking annoying.
-
has a brilliant opening where he goes nuts for the first time, but slides downhill and by the end is just shit. I liked Jerry maguire first time I saw it, but she was particularly irritating in it. Is Nurse Betty any good?
-
-but that was all. He was a bit like Kevin_Smith there-WHY?! you could have cast Anyone in those roles and gotten same (or better), I'm thinking. I only remember the jet-wing surf trick of Bruce's, there's not much else there. Martin Csokas, same guy who had a 4 minute cameo in Lord of the Rings-that's your XXX baddie. He doubles as a lampshade holder in other, more thought-out parts. Gen Westmoreland liked Giant Robots.
-
Sometimes I'm smart enough to avoid the cliched formula action flicks despite myself. And that, too-needed Giant Robots, even scientology ones.
-
one of the worst ideas, ever.
-
I want to say it is, but then again, for some reason (i think because I like LaBute) it's more that I WANT to like it more than I actually do. To clarify, if I'm honest, it's okay.
-
Halle Berry was paid some obscene amount of cash to flash them in a gratuitous and pointless scene that added NOTHING to the film. They're quite nice tits, but a brief flash of it wasn't going to make up for the rest of the film. Maybe if she'd let a midget play them like fucking bongos it may have redeemed the film. Or if Travolta (stupid beard and all) had been stepped on by a giant robot.

Swordfish is better than a lot of other shit
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It's crap, don't get me wrong, but it's enjoyable crap. It shits all over turgid wankfests like Con Air, Eagle Eye or Trannyformers 2.
-
I WANT it to be good. I used to do that with Carpenter- finding any justification for why Vampires is actually a good film. Then Ghosts of Mars happened and I gave up.
-
what are you talking about- lunatic nutjob Buscemi- most famous serial killer in America playing in a casino. The Cage in top shit acting form, Malkovich chewing scenery, Ving Rhames as a badass. Colm Meaney as badass FBI agent that would probably lose a fight with Nurse Betty, Cusack's inexplicable sandals and socks combo, attaching a car to a plane. Not to mention hilariously shit dialogue like: "knock out this car here, and this car here then fill it with lots and lots of dead people" It's not a good film, but it is a hilariously awful one.
-
The only bit of that film that is remotely good is the sheer stupidity of Jackman having to hack a computer under 2 minutes with a gun to his head while getting a blow job. That was funny.
-
Never saw Eagle Eye---it sounded GOOFY. But then-I AM one of the only people here that admits to liking Big Robots Hitting Each Other Again-so take that for what it's worth. Halle Berry is nice yes. But you won't sit thru Katwoman to see her that's for sure.
-
What. A. Load. Of. Shit. Sharon Stone as indestructible concrete woman was mildly amusing though.
-
is just a bad actress. I know she won the Oscar for overacting in that bag of shit Monster's Ball, but I can't think of her actually ever being good in a film.
-
I enjoyed watching Jeremy Irons and Malkovich chewing the scenery in the DeCaprio flick from '98 (which I have a VHS of...)Man in the Iron Mask. Nothing Great, mind-but okay.
-
I don't know who's nuttier. Bendersshinyass or Media Messiah. A bigger pair of tinfoil underoos wearing nutjobs you won't find.
-
Does anyone actually want a Marvel Comics Thor film? Why not make a proper Viking Norse mythology one?
-
As a Kid, sure-he was a fave for awhile. But now?? getting away from the days of Kirby or Perez or whatever...I'm (Denis) Leary about it.
-
He believes what he is sayin' too. Unlike say JettL93 who is CLEARLY yanking our collective chains. Bendy well--I let the PaZoozoo have at him and just enjoy.
-
All those reasons you stated for liking it, are reasons I hate it. The difference being that you found them hilarious, while I found them obnoxious and grating. It's a complete, irritating shitfest. For idiotic but fun action I vote for Terminal Velocity.
-
Oct 30, 2009 6:21:48 AM CDT
I know absolutely zero about Thor
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Much like most comics. So no, I'm definitely not looking forward to a Thor movie starring a beady eyed doofus from home and away.
-
Seen it. Remember zero from it except that Sharon Stone was the head of some sort of perfume company. Utter, utter shit.
-
You are right about the norse myth thing. It's strange because a pure norse fantasy would actually be pretty darn cool and if you used existing legend and wrote your own story it wouldn't have to be predictable. Thor, on the other hand...you have to follow the origin story path (it would be confusing for that character if you didn't) and then you have to use the villain, sidekick, alterego, blah-blah template until what you have got is flippin Batman with long golden locks and an urge to hit the meadhall.
-
Was Terminal Velocity the Charlie Sheen one where he was a skydiver? I don't really recall much fun from that one, but it's been awhile.
Back in the 90s I was given to enjoying some dopey stuff.
The Long Kiss Goodnight, Congo and Anaconda, as well as Replacement Killers all jump to mind as that kind of genre. Oh, and Deep Rising too. Loved that one. -
where he and Douglas are hunting the lions. I liked both of those.
-
Or more commonly referred to as "Jaws with lions". That was okay. Terminal Velocity is the one with Sheen and is loads of fun. Especially the end with Christopher McDonald clinging to the hood of his car as Sheen backs it out of a plane mid flight. I recommend a revisit. I hated Replacement Killers. Deep Rising, Anaconda, Congo and LKGN all qualify with flying colours. Cuttroat Island, Face/Off, Sudden Death all amused me greatly as well.
-
I actually enjoyed it. And I've read about the original version that differs greatly in the last third and sounds pretty great. But "test audiences" didn't like Shue's character dying or some shit so they reshot a whole lot of it.
-
Anyone see this show that's on FLN (don't know what the fuck that channel is). It's absolutely brilliant. Dude goes hopping around the world drinking like a fish trying out all the local's best/famous drinks. Last night he was in Poland and ended up going to a Polish wedding. Then he was in Thailand with a dude named Mee trying their shit and going to a Thai kickboxing match. It's great.
-
I just want to fuck her quite badly. Could care less about her lack of acting skills.
-
Swordfish is stupid, but not really fun. Con Air is a horrid movie that is quite funny at the sametime. And there were no "badasses" in that movie. None.
-
Fuck me do I hate that. Everything you think about Con Air I think about that.
-
agree about thor. It's the same with Clash of The Titans. Why not do the Perseus myth properly.
-
Oct 30, 2009 8:09:50 AM CDT
I finished reading The Lovely Bones the other day
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I am now officially uninterested in Jacksons flick. The book isn't terrible, just bland, boring and a bit crap. Also, it's really simple, average fucking writing. I keep reading these much-lauded books like this or The Kite Runner and keep getting a mildly interesting story and mediocre (at best) writing. TKR especially is badly written. I don't pretend to be a literary scholar, but fuck me, have we really become so stupid as a species that this amateur, uninteresting writing is hailed as a masterpiece?
-
It used to be on HD Net. I never really liked it. Its the guy who used to pimp Girls Gone Wild videos with whats his fuck. He's kind of annoying as fuck.
-
Never read any of his. And this one sounds cool. I've always wondered what the Simpsons movie would be like if King had written it. Plus the $9 price point is pretty sweet.
-
I used to like Con Air, but last time I watched it, like Armagedon, it was unwatchable. Just fucking bad. Mainly due to Nic Cage. Swordfish save for the pellet bomb was just stupid. The hacking blowjob scene, from the director of Whiteout and Gone in 60 seconds. No thank you. Faceoff rules them all.
-
Yeah crossfit is pretty popular especially onboard ships and on deployments becasue it doesn't so much rely on tradtional gym type apparatus and it focuses on speed and everyday type movements. It does keeep you from getting bored easily.The funny thing is though there has always been a some sort of version floating around since at least the late 80's when the "daily dozen" concept for PT started to lose dominance. Crossfit is just the latests and newest of the workout regiems that has come down the road.
-
Was awesome in Go! Good in Die Hard 4.0:Live Free or Die Hard. I love that film, though its more of a sequel to True Lies, or a knock off. He's pretty good in A Perfect Getaway. Thats a solid rental movie. I saw it in theaters only because I just got back from my honeymoon in Kauai.
-
Also The Crazies looks like it could be a little bit of alright.

What a wanker.

Must I go over this again, Series?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Your attempts at "jokes" are based on nothing and are therefore pointless statements. They are neither humourous, witty or insightful. You are the class clown, acting the fool, completely unaware that the jokes on you. It's time to wake up, mate.
-
I really, really hate it. It's Dove-tastic.

Oct 30, 2009 10:26:38 AM CDT
I've only seen it at the cinema
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
But I remember liking it. I'd have to rewatch it. I'm pretty sure it's good though. Well, better than Con Air which is as pathetic and idiotic as they get. And not in a good way.
-
Oct 30, 2009 10:28:26 AM CDT
I did like The Generals Daughter
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Speaking of idiotic movies.
-
Another two idiotic flicks that are fun. The 90's had quite a few of these idiotic/fun action flicks. This decade they've only been idiotic.
-
I recommend just about anything from David Drake and David Weber.
Drake did the Hammer's Slammers books about future mercs and their use of the King of Battle - Artillery! Weber is famous for his Honor Harrington space opera battle books. if going with Weber's HH series, stick to the first four books. He tends to get a little preachy after those books, which seems to be the way writers of military fiction get after they experience some success. -
the horrible overacting shite when he's pretending to be travolta. CRAP.
-
Shut the fuck up. Don't get mad at me just because you overpaid for your This Is It... tickets.
-
Hate that as well. You want to talk moronic and offensive? that film had it in spades- and all because of that stupid fucking epilogue at the end. Offensive crap trying to link a third rate murder mystery to a serious problem. Disgusting.
-
Thats a resume there. Maybe that'll be my horror movie marathon this weekend? God looking at his list of movies recently (Hogs 1 and 2, Old Dogs, Pelham,From Paris with Love) what a wasted comeback. Though From Pairs looks like a return to Broken Arrow form.
-
Which I know is terrible. Endangered rock, indeed.
-
Sorry about that.Lazy.
-
Look at his whole career. For every Saturday Night Fever or Pulp Fiction you've got Swordfish, Face/ Off, General's Daughter, Battlefield Earth, Look Who's Talking (all of them, and no, the first one is not good), Staying Alive, Pelham (not seen but bound to be crap- he's not Robert Shaw) and so forth. Travolta sucks balls.
-
Oct 30, 2009 10:41:59 AM CDT
"you overpaid for your This Is It... tickets."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Again, a groundless, moronic "joke". Honestly Series, you're making yourself out to look like a complete fucking imbecile.
-
Got a Werner Herzog double bill this afternoon (Little Dieter Needs To Fly and Rescue Dawn), followed by tonight's horror film, The Strangers.Tomorrow it's The Hills Run Red and Trick R Treat Halloween double, then maybe a couple of comedies on Sunday to wash all that horror crap away. I've got The Hangover to watch, and I might see I Love You, Man again. I liked I Love You, Man. It was funny.
-
Fuck.
-
I especially recommend The Afghan Campaign, Gates of fire and Killing Rommel and The Virtues of War. I really like Tides of War also but that book requires you to have a bit of understanding about greek politics between the city states in the classical era of greek history. So its kind of a specialized book even if it is fiction based on real events.
-
its only you thats complaining. So like the rest of the world, no one cares what the Australian has to say.
-
A Civil Action. Get Shorty. Primary Colors. Those were also good.
-
Good weekends to all.Wait, £16.50 to see one film? That better be London prices, because I'm not paying £16.50 to see Avatar. What a fucking rip. The only thing revolutionary about 3D is what a colossal rectum-stretching rip it is.And now I'm definitely going.Cheers, all.
-
Talk about STUPID people in a horro movie movie.
-
Used to date Slater, and River Phoenix. She was with him the night he decided to try a bit too much.
-
Spoken like a true stereotypical ignorant yank. It's not my fault you mistake obnoxiousness with wit. You should move out of your little town in bumfuck, idaho and head to the big smoke. Maybe you might learn that there's more to life than, cow-tipping, barn dances and gang bashing homo's to prove to your subconscious that you don't fancy your brother-in-law.
-
He wrote the screenplay for Above the Law, Freejack and an Army of one a.k.a The Josua Tree. The internet is full of useless info.Steady on lads I'm off to sleep.
-
If not, I highly recommend if for nothing else but the section on Rapa Nui - Easter Island.
-
How are you witty? Dude your jokes are just as stupid as mine (the big smoke? what are you some 1920s gangster). Also I'm willing to bet I've lived and seen more of the world then you? I am far from stereotypical ignorant yank. Also I think you place too much importance on TALKBACK. Just take you licks and stop being so upset that your easy to pick on. I'll leave you alone since you seem to be crying. Also a cottage is just as bad a bum fuck town in Idaho (though I've never been there? So I don't know how bad it gets).
-
I know I'm obnoxiousness.
-
Good Travolta: Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, Primary Colours, Broken Arrow, PunisherMeh Travolta: Grease (I hate it, but so many people love it it must have something), A civil Action Wank Travolta: Swordfish, Face Off, Pelham, Generals Daughter, Be cool, LwT, Staying Alive, Battlefield Earth, Hairspray, Basic, Michael, Phenomenon, WHite Man's Burden. He's more shithouse than THE CAGE.
-
LIES! YOU TAKE THAT BACK.
-
I've read all of Keegan's work.
-
seriously, if you sneak up on the fucker can you knock it over or does it only work with cows?
-
That is cow tipping, since your cows are all mad and could kill. Thanks a lot for that, now I can never give blood.
-
I hate the countryside. It bores me.
-
It needed to be said.
-
Or did he only do Blow Out with him?
-
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble???? No love?
-
I am not surprised you have read those. You are a far greater student of military history than I am.
-
What's giving blood got to do with BSE?
-
Is that that pish with the weaker Gylenhall brother in it.
-
Truly breathtaking beauty. But it does tend to have a high population of zealots and racists and aryans and nitwits. Sorta like these talkbacks.
-
But feel free to prove me wrong! I would not fuck with a Kanga though, they can be very vicious.
-
and knock it over? Has anyone tried?
-
Seems like a good place to visit? Sounds like someone was being a true stereotypical ignorant wanker.
-
Yeah since I lived in England right when mad cow broke out. You can't give blood. I've heard that has changed though?
-
That is why it is a myth. And also, they weigh a ton. No single man would be able to knock one over -except Burt of course.
-
dull as shit, the pub shuts early, every cunt is related and boring, and there's fuck all to do that isn't animal (or even worse "nature") related. Doesn't matter what country, the UK, America, Australia, Europe, whatever, it's the fucking same.
-
overstated by the media because the country was in the shit for some other reason. You could give blood during it, and you can now.
-
I've just been banned by the guardian for responding to an article saying "is this what Michael Jackson would have wanted" with "No" and then using the Cocoa Puffs joke.
-
Seriously mate, there are so many idiotic and obnoxious comments in that statement it boggles the mind. "the big smoke? what are you some 1920s gangster" Do 1920's gangsters talk like that? I was alluding to the fact that you come across as a stereotypical yank from some two horse hick town in the middle of nowhere by using a platitude. "Also I'm willing to bet I've lived and seen more of the world then you?" Is this a question? Another in a long line of idiotic, groundless statements based on your ignorant assumptions. Since you know very little about me, you must be very stupid to be willing to make a bet on an ignorant assumption. "Just take you licks and stop being so upset that your easy to pick on." At no stage has anything you've said been remotely intelligent. I don't get upset at at an idiot trying to goad me into an argument. I just treat them as the fool they are. "Also a cottage is just as bad a bum fuck town in Idaho" I honestly have no idea what this means and what relevance it holds. Series, i think you suffer from an inferiority complex that compels you to try to build up your self-esteem. Your chosen method is to attempt to be the funny guy. The class clown. But you lack the wit, intelligence and insight to do the job. I recommend you try a different method and try to engage people in normal conversation. But if you want to act like an obnoxious tit with me then go right ahead. I'll just stop responding.
-
minus the drinking since I don't drink anymore.
-
I've not heard that expression in 10 years at least, but it used to be pretty common slang for London. Anyhow, back to the subject at hand We're talking about cow tipping here. Fuck's sake. I may go and ask Assholelives if Goat Tipping is possible.
-
it would be boring if everyone was the same.
-
a really funny post: "In 1959, a movie called the Human Centipede would be about some mutated monster out in the desert, entertain some high schoolers on a friday night and be forgotten. In 2009, it's about three people fused mouth to anus. For what? Why? Why the FUCK do we need this shit?! That's the real harm dropping the bomb on those perverts did, now they just do take to full production and international release whatever the fuck pops into their twisted disgusting backwards brains. That's it. That's the last fucking straw, Nippon! WW3!" Offensive and hilarious.
-
I mean what is a goat gonna do with a tip besides buy some weed and get crunked?
-
Har-de-har. TKD Will be here all week. Try the chicken.
-
Try the hermit crabs - tastes just like hermit crabs.
-
Maybe if you said something original or with a point, rather then just posting what I typed then typing a response to it this would go somewhere. But you don't. I may think I'm a CLASS CLOWN (though I didn't win that in high school, I got best all around?). At least I'm not some stuck up prick that thinks they are some knowledge of truth and information. And since we do know so very little about each other, all I can do is make up stuff based on assumption and make shit up. And yeah I am boorish in what I say but so are you? I mean since when are you the basis of what is intelligent and what is not? I didn't know talkback was a place for scholarly discussion. In which the merits of ones talk should be based on academic prowess and accomplishment? For all I know is that you are just some wannabe Ted who never graduated college working in an office temp job? Since you want to keep yourself surrounded in a cloud of mystery who’s to say different? As far as self esteem issues, you’re the one that finds it important to state the level of my humor every time I say something about you? Most people don’t give a shit.
-
puts on best scouse accent CALM DOWN.
-
Hermit crabs are those cunts that live on garbage in other bits of garbage aren't they? Why would you want to eat those? And if you 2 don't behave I'll pull the TB over and we won't go anywhere until you do.
-
In any of my favorite vacation spots in the Caribbean, if you go to the back of any eating establishment, you will see hundreds of the critters. I would not want to eat those things - but if you run out of chicken...
-
I had one as a pet until I left him in the car in summer and he crawled out of his shell and died. My sole act of childhood negligent homicide. Or is that involuntary crabslaughter?
-
What's different is that you go out of your way to try to goad me into an argument. Without provocation you post a random, obnoxious comment under the pretense of a "joke" which is specifically designed to get a rise out of me. Scroll up in this TB and you will see quite a few of them. You're like the annoying little shit pulling on a parents arm trying to constantly get their attention. But once you do you have nothing of value to offer. So you just serve up more obnoxious bile. I never stated anywhere that I was "the basis of what is intelligent". I merely reserve the right to call a spade a spade. If you want to continue to act in such a way as to come across as an idiot, I'll call you on it. And that's you prerogative, so go for your life if that's what makes you feel better about yourself. But in my opinion, you're only doing yourself a disservice. Have a good one, Series.

Have a good weekend chaps.

To take a time machine back to the 50s and show something like Speed Racer or Irrevirsible. Now Nick Swardson stole my idea in his stand up. A hole.
-
Its just you are usually the last person to post when I get to work every day. Maybe if you came up with a come back rather then, OH that joke was lame it could lead to something. But since you are the master critic of all that is funny I shall sit and await your critic. Maybe one of these days you sheep shagging ass will give me a thumbs up, because you like it so much.
-
That is what a night on the strip in Lawton, Okla -(the asspit of the universe) would get you!
-
that experience with the King's Cross tranny.
-
You hung around Lawton when you were here? No wonder you don't like it.
-
I thought we'd established that. Not only is it a dismal shithole, but it frequently passes colossal turds that smell horrid and annoy everyone.
-
Who says who any of us are/say in talk back is any relection of who they are in life? Thats pretty small thinking. Also being that half the shit I post here are in between doing work on my computer, work that gets me money. I don't care enough to worry about the intellegence of my post most of the time.

What the fuck? What's this fighting amongst ourselves? There's plenty of assheads out there.

That was the only choice. I mostly chose to stay on the base though. I will say this about Lawton, it had some great ethnic restaurants - German, Korean, Japanese.

The last defense when confronted with crabs' laughter? No one wants to be laughed at by a crab.
Mouth-breeder! Sounds like a Cronenberg movie... -
Hell, people in that TB were literally begging for him to show up. The TB itself was created for him.

He clearly meant "mouth-breather" but fucked it up and came up with something much funnier
-
One person liking Face/Off but not Con Air, and then vice versa. Those movies are linked in my head as I watched them both over & over at the $1 theater because they were the only things playing. They came out at pretty much the same time, right?
Both very bad. Both highly entertaining. -
into one Travolta-Cage extravaganza of silliness.
-
It seems really wrong to say that your movie is 'based on real events' when what you really mean is 'based on real deaths' and then attribute those deaths to aliens.
I bet that Paranormal Activity guy is fucking pissed about this movie. He's working on one right now called Area 51. -
Have you read "The Man WIth the Iron Heart" by Harry Turtledove? A friend of mine swears it is a great book, but his taste isn't always the best. I am looking for a second source for confirmation.
-
Yeah, I've been reading about this morning online. It sounds like a damn good thing because you kill yourself in just about 20-30 minutes a day. A big time saver, which is what I need.
My new year's resolution this year is to get into MMA. I seriously want to get in a pro level fight before I turn 40 (not saying I have to win, just last 3 rounds). -
And I've got War Heroes? By the guy who wrote Wanted.
-
You gonna go train with Tito??
Is Tito even still around? How about that Ultimate Fighter show? Is that still on? -
Is he the guy who writes the alternative timeline books, like what would have happened if the South had won civil war, or if aliens had landed during Roman war etc.
-
Have a good weekend.
-
Hoist a few for me!
-
He does Alternative History books. He wrote a book about how the South won the Civil War because some racist time travelers came back and gave them AK 47s.
"The Man With the Iron Heart" sound interesting though, because it deals with an alternate history where Heydrich never was assassinated, and he survives the end of WWII to lead a much more dangerous Werewolves.
BTW, Branagh as Heydrich in Conspiracy was great. -
I never would train with Tito. One, because I am not nearly at the level he is, even if I was in shape and been training for awhile.
And secondly, because he is a tongue cleaner.
And yes he is still around (Tito is fighting Forest Griffith on the 21st I believe). And the Ultimate Fighter is still on, and having one of the worst seasons ever (fucking Kimbo Slice?). -
Here are some good Halloween viewings if you want something different. http://tinyurl.com/y8acj3f

I loved the What If? comics from Marvel back in the day
by toadkillerdog
I have considered reading Turtledove, but it always looked too gimmicky. I will try one of his books someday though. Keith Laumer wrote some Bolo books about a super tank, it was good f a little while, but went of the tracks (pun intended) after a few books. For some comic relief of a military sort, try Harry Harrison's Bill the Galactic hero. the first two books are hysterical.
-
Branaugh and Tucci were truly great. It was a chilling movie.
-
I can't remember what season that's from, but damn it was funny. Is Forrest still the patron saint pretty boy of mma? Or has a prettier face replaced his? I always thought Royce Gracie was the real looker, myself.
And poor, over-hyped Kimbo...I don't even know what to say about that. -
It is an alternative history book by Robert Harris about What if the Nazis had won WWII, and is probably the best and most accurate of that genre.
HBO did a TV movie version that was ok, but the book is pretty damn good. -
George St. Pierre. My ex-Gf only shows up to fights that he is in because he is "hawt!"
http://tinyurl.com/5wk5qc
And Forrest did have his face f'd up a little, by Anderson Silva in his last fight (Silva killed him; wasn't even funny). -
are you training for MMA stuff or something?
-
I will get to it! Kimbo Slice, my how the 'mighty' have fallen. I do not pay much attention to MMA, but even I know his story. Got his clock cleaned in first real fight against a last minute replacement. Guess youtube does lie!
-
Hmmmm finally listening to this thing from Cloverfield.
-
I like him. If I recall, he came across well in interviews. Seemed like an alright guy.
-
Is just because Michael Giacchino has become Danny Elfman mixed with John Williams?
-
The basic fact is Kimbo is just a backyard brawler. That doesn't make him a boxer. If he was a REAL boxer, he would have been in the ring.
It is like these guys who say street ball legends are just as great as NBA players. Nope. If they were, they would have been in the NBA.
I predicted to some friends that Kimbo was going to get killed once he started facing any sort of legitimate opponent. The guy just LOOKS tough, but when you watch him you can see he isn't that talented. No foot speed, no ground fighting ability, and he doesn't even have any real knockout power. He won his street fights by just pounding on people until they were done - he never really just KOed anyone with a good punch.
Butt besides that I hear he is actually a nice guy and pretty humble. -
Is in the VIP?
-
I'm about to. That is going to be my New Year's resolution - get back into martial arts, and specifically MMA.
-
But ridiculously fun too.
-
So have you done MMA before? Doing it now or what?
-
Are the stunt doubles. I swear they were in it so much they should have gotten some co-star credit.
-
And for the record, I think he would be a better choice for BA Baracus than Rampage Jackson.
But Terry Crews would be better than either of them. -
You do anywork for the In The VIP?
-
Have you been in a MMA fight before? I'll fight you. I'm wicked out of shape, but I'm like Homer in my endurance.
-
but how cool is Mr T?

"There is no 'I' in A-Team" -
Playing I would want to see. Cloudy with meat balls and This Is It. And I'm busy.
-
Never did MMA. I used to do martial arts at different times in my life (Shotokan Karate, JKD, Krav Maga, BJJ) but I never really stuck with any of them (KM I stayed with for aboutt three years though), and I used to box a little and kept up on it over the years.
That makes me minimally qualified for MMA at best. But I live literally right down the street from Legends Gym in Hollywood, and I am a big fan of the sport. I figure at the very least I can TRY to do it.
-
But I have been in fights before, sparred before, and had some boxing matches and smokers.
-
I've always wanted to try boxing. But I feel myself turning into a Wall-E human more and more every day with this soul sucking job.
-
Where at? The big smoke?
-
And get into Sumo. I was thinking maybe I should take that route because I wouldn't have to diet or watch what I eat at all.
-
I tell my wife like everyday, lets just say fuck and get fat as shit. Then she gets mad at me and thinks I'm calling her fat. I fucking lost 20 pounds last year, just in eating better and walking for an hour or so every day. Manged to keep it off for the first half of this year with my manuel labor job. Now that I've got a desk job, I gained 10 pounds within 2 months. Its fucking annoying. Like I just have SOOO little motivation to do shit when I get home after 8 hours of this. and THIS isn't much of a work out: http://tinyurl.com/yecqpmx
-
once that the South St. Whole Foods in Philly had been replaced by an open-air Sumo wrestling complex. But the sumo wrestlers in my dream all looked like the guy from Street Fighter.
-
I think thats called a vision. If you build it, they will Sumo.
-
Wow, I'm really late to this thread, so I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but the person on the front doesn't have it all that bad. I bet the other two sections are resentful.
-
it actually looks ok. but still, like a less good version of the ring
-
Except for the fact that he puts on a diet of only bad mexican food from a roach coach for three days before experiment time.

except the speech at the start. that was shit. everything else was good

-
it was good. i also saw the movie. it was ok.
-
slice didn't even win all his backyard fights
-
Some of his works can be a bit ponderous to get through but in my opinion you can't go wrong with A History of Warfare, Fields of Battle and especially The Mask of Command; which is arguably(not by me) his best and most complete book. Since you did time in the Corps you will recognize all the diffrent command styles Keegan covers in that book.
-
I wasn't sure due to the weather.
-
From what I understand the Phoenix Arizona area is the place to be for training in MMA. On the other hand you live right down the street from a MMA gym so that's probably a bit more convienient.I used to fight the old style MMA and smokers back in when I was going to college. Those were good times, the fighting not college. College fucking sucked I was a happy motherfucker to graduate and enlist and get away from from all the silver spoon mommas boys and the students.
-
And yes it came out same month-June of '97-as Con Air, so you DID get yer two for the price of one Nick Cage dumb-dum boomfest there. Gina Gershon, that tall bald guy, the over-kill gunfights in the church and whatever, and that weird as shit under-sea prison-c'mon what's not to like?! Totally goofy and over-done, but I enjoy revisiting it from time to time.
-
I like goofy but Face/Off just turned me off from the get go. It's no Deep Rising or Congo that's for sure! those movies are by definition of totally goofy and overdone.

AZ has some pretty good MMA training camps, especially Arizona Combat Sports out of Tempe. Former TUF members Ryan Bader (who won it) and C.B Dolloway train out of there I believe.
But LA is hard to match as a training center for MMA. It has a shit load of big name schools, Legends Gym (Randy Couture and Bass Rutten are part owners, and Eddie Bravo and Mayhem Miller teach here), plus you got the Gracie's BJJ Academy in Torrence, and if I am thinking of also joining Freddie Roach's gym, Wild Card Boxing, which is also located in Hollywood.
My entire goal is not to get knocked out or tapped out in the first round. -
Yes more King Diamond-you can't go wrong with this stuff:

He had with him and I quote "his Pure Arayan Queen" a total firebrand for the cause.

Holy Shit! I might have just made the AICN TB scoop of the year
by continentalop
tonight in Hollywood. I might have actually found the real identity of JETTL93! I shit you not. I was talking to this actress I know tonight, and she was talking about this guy who is directing this play who sounds UNCANNILY like JettL.
I am asking her to ask this guy a couple of questions, and if he answers just right, I know it is fucking him! And if that is the case, I am so going to out him. -
You're a MMA fan? I'm surprised a shirinking violet such as yourself would be a fan.

If you do that then we will lose some of the best satire that has hit AICN in a long time.

Have you ever seen the teenage twin girl Nazi Pop singers? That is just so fucked up. -
On one hand is the entertainment value that JettL brings us.
On the other hand he is a total lying tongue cleaner.
BTW - if he is who I think he is, he isn't making those statements as a joke. He is trying to pass them off as fact; he does it in the real world as well. -
If it's not somebody just having a goof on AICN and they do the exact same thing in real life I guess you would need to fuck his shit up.Bianiaca Trump that's it. I remember reading the story in the Phoenix New Times. When they ran the story they had side by side photographs from the rally and when she was in porn. She made her hair platnum and I guess bleached her skin or something because she was a few shades lighter.No I have not seen the Nazi girl singers which is surprising because we get NCIS, FBI and MP memos about various gang shit to be on the look out for including music info.
-
Lynx Vaughan and Lamb Lennon Gaede. And they are like the Olsen Twins for KKK and White Pride guys. They are two cute girls from Bakersfield (what a fucking surprise) whose mom pushed them to perform as Pop Nazi singers when they were about 12 or 13. They are now 16.
Personally, I feel sorry for those two girls. They aren't old enough to make decisions, so they are dependent on an adult making them the right choices, but their problem is that their mom and grandparents make Dinah and Michael Lohan look like the epitome of responsible adults
When you get back in the states, look them up on Wikipedia. They have a link to an interesting doc that the BBC made about them on that page. -
You weren't wrong about AZ as a good place for MMA. Lot of guys from Arizona have gone on to MMA careers - Ryan Bader, Cain Vasquez, CB Dolloway, Jamie Varner (and a lot of them are from the Arizona State Sun Devils Wrestling Team).
But, they really have only one big school there that I know of - Arizona Combat Sports. LA has a bunch of schools. LA is to MMA a little bit like it is for actors - guys travel here to study. And we should have a bunch of quality schools here, we do have a large population (8+million). -
I forsee tough times for da Broncs vs the Colts, the Giants game will be fun, and of course if they're playing in Pitt that could an L as well.

From my limited store of MMA knowledge I do know that besides Arizona Combat Sports, which is the biggests and best known gym, there are several smaller places that specialize in MMA.

I like BJJ, but it is quickly becoming a McDojo and Bullshido. It is like JKD and how everyone claims they were trained by Bruce Lee - the term Brazilian Jui-Jitsu is becoming watered down now and completely useless. Shit, half the moves you could probably pick up on youtube.
Now, me personally, I can claim I was trained by a Royce Gracie and Rigan Machido (well, at their schools, and only for three months combined, but you know, I got it in my resume at least - next to my white belt and gi). -

interesting little film. firstly, i was glad the plot 'twist' occurred early on as it had been spoiled for me by some idoit talk backer. i thought it was a well shot film, key scenes i found to be 'busy' there were lots of cues from multiple characters that was interesting. the final climax was emotional and well done. the structure was weird. it reached a point where it seemed to end.....and then it continued. i didn't understand the mechanism by which events at the end occurred - it seemed as if random events that were only connected in a vague manner were having a effect on each other, but it wasn't really explained how this occurred. in short the original set up was interesting but then the plot kinda fell away. simultaneously though it remained visually interesting. certain aspects were never adequately explained - though i guess that is richard kelly for you. the background story - why events were occurring seemed a bit like a cop out. i enjoyed it, but it sort of seemed like half a movie. it was based on a short story and it just felt like a stretched out short story, rather than having the gaps filled in as is expected from a movie. i could see my self watching it again (but i wouldn't pay to do this) just because of the 'busyness' of some of the scenes, it is worth a watch, but overall fell flat. i know that dosn't really make much sense, but there it is.
-
is my second second favorite study after Kendo. I have no direct line Bruce Lee connections that I'm aware of.The little bit of Wing Chun I messed with the instrucor did learn in the same school as Bruce Lee but he was older and didn't not know him(this was the later 80's)
-
it kinda seemed vaguely sexist
-
Because it is more of a philosophy than a strict style. "Take what is useful and discard the rest." It doesn't get bogged down in ritual and dogma like every other Asian martial art seems to be.
Dan Isosanto, Bruce Lee's "heir" and training partner, has a school out here. They mostly teach Kali/Escima. I've been there a couple of times, but haven't really ever studied there. One of the other things I guess I should put on my list of things I should try doing next year. -

seems to be stuck in development hell. I'm just worried if Fincher doesn't do it, somebody else will turn it into an action movie. Rendezvous needs a deft touch.Not read those other two - but have read Footfall and I can't honestly remember what happened in that.

Star Trek was good, but the studios want their sci-fi like that now. Rendezvous With Rama doesn't sit comfortably with them, because it's about exploration and discovery. Studios will be demanding additional, unecessary action scenes.I've waited far too long to see the melting of the Cylindrical Sea be realised on screen. Or when the lights go on for the first time...

Fred watched Ravens (BOO HISS) beast Broncs
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar

That turned into a very entertaining game! Fred almost feels sorry for Aaron Rogers. He played his heart out in both games, but the rest of the team let him down. Percy Harvin, wow! What a weapon. He almost killed Fred and the Steelers last week! Fred may need to get his hoodoo majik out again if we play Vikes in SuperBowl.

Who (should) have been to space at least once considering how long he has been in etc. I am very sure that he'd have the audacity to land in Almada and start shooting at those poor Goats just to put them outta their Aids infected, hoof and mouth ravaged diseased agonies that Mammaries put them thru. Plus they are in short supply of Giant Robot Lions over there. Xiphos has a connection to that I 'm thinkin'.

Hello! Fred has not seen you in a while.
-
The Strangers on Friday, which was okay. I liked that they went for a creepy vibe, and they mostly pulled it off. Pulled it off by nicking bits out of Halloween, but that's okay. If you're going to steal, etc.Those characters were stupid, though. I think someone warned me about that. You were right, whoever you were or, indeed, are.Then on Saturday a double bill of The Hills Run Red and Trick r Treat. Hills wasn't bad, a watchable slasher. Not as clever as it thought it was, but at least it was trying to be clever, and I liked the dramatised schism between the slasher generation and the torture porn generation. Also, Death out of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey was in it. Trick was more enjoyable, and earned extra points by having Thurman Merman out of Bad Santa in it. He looked just the same, except slightly larger and with a deeper voice.

Don't post as much as I used to, but tonight is a special night.Can't sleep. Wait, listening to The Stooges probably isn't helping any. I'm going to put some Massive Attack on. All mellow and whatnot.

Fred had to look them up.
-
Pretty good. I liked it. Shame they spoiled Tyson's appearance. That would have been funnier if they'd kept it quiet like Zombieland did with their celebrity cameo.I am morally opposed to Mike Tyson due his being an overrated coward of a fighter and, more importantly, a rapist, but the film was good enough that I still enjoyed it despite Tyson's presence.Also, I may be sexually attracted to Bradley Cooper. Does that make me gay?

It's as good any, I suppose, but simple labels like that don't work with bands like Massive Attack.You don't know them, Fred? You should give them a try - especially either Blue Lines or Mezzanine. Masterpieces.

Fred is not qualified to assess your orientation
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
However, Fred does recall that you have expressed an interest in midget hulk women. So, if nothing else that would make you a hulkosexual.
-
And that term came up, but Fred will refrain from using it. Will download some of their music into iPod
-
Shit, that's funny. Thanks for the early morning laugh, Fred. It's not helping me sleep, but I appreciate it anyway.Next time I fill out a form that asks for my orientation, I am totally writing "hulkosexual" in the box.
-
Fucking hell, that's a good album.Just so you know, Fred, Massive Attack do a slow, dark, brooding hip hop kind of thing, with some dub and electronica and whatever else they fancy thrown in. Maybe that's your thing, I don't know, but I like them a lot, and not just because they're from my home town. I'm normally a noisy guitars kind of guy, but I do love some Massive Attack.

Jarv - when you wake up - you really have to get some of this internet action, mate.I'm catching up on a shitload of recent fights I missed due to the shitness of England's boxing coverage. Also, it's great for American telly. Whatever you want, you can usually find it somewhere the day after it was on and download it. Beats waiting six months to a year for it to be shown over here.

I don't know anything about Philadelphia except Rocky comes from there, so I always just thought Philadelphia was probably okay.Seen one baseball game in my life - the Angels playing... some other team... at Angels Stadium in Anaheim. Fuck, I was bored. The hotdog was nice and I bought a T-shirt that I still have, but the men hitting balls part did nothing for me at all.
-
From the Wiki - Daylight saving time (DST; also summer time in British English—see Terminology) is the practice of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.[1] Modern DST was first proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson, a New Zealand entomologist.[2] Many countries have used it since then; details vary by location and change occasionally.
-
I'm pretty much going to be fucked today. If I don't get to sleep by 4.30, I may as well stay up.And we do have daylight savings time, although we call it British Summer Time.We're not sensible here, Fred. Two hundred years after every other country in the world has stopped fucking with their clocks twice a year, we'll still be doing it because it's tradition. Tradition is responsible for most of the stupid shit we have in England, like royalty and judges in wigs and those stupid hats policemen wear and whatnot.

The BBC overrated the "popularity" of the band. They were basically shit and selling home pressed albums out the back of a car after some gig in a godforsaken shitkicker bar in racist asshole, nebraska. I think it's fairly safe to say that they weren't in danger of taking over the world

On the weekend I watched A Perfect Getaway
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It was okay. The "twist" was obvious, and the explanation for the twist was a bit stupid (but the only way to explain why the characters acted the way they did, i suppose). But it was entertaining and brief, so worth a watch. And continuing our Olyphant discussion from last week... He's really good in APG. Quite different from how I've seen him before. Still that kind of underlying psycho, but also likeable at the same time.
-
It was the best fish eats people film I've seen in yonks, but not exactly up there with the classics.
-
It's getting too slow now.
-
sounds like shit. Not that that's a shock
-
Halloween, Suspiria etc. Then fucked it up by watching Underworld.
Which is such a waste because it's a good idea, has a superb cast (barring that useless bag of cocks Speedman) and is reasonably well written.
I know how they fucked it up- too much blue and a complete imagination failure with the hybrid monster at the end. Garbage. -
Nov 02, 2009 4:37:18 AM CST
Did it actually eat people though?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Except for the plane, i don't remember it really eating anyone. Maybe a submarine? Fuck, I was so bored by it I've erased it from my memory.
-
the octopus raped an oil rig as well.
-
I've seen in ages as well. Debbie Gibson isn't shy about getting them out, so she should have done here. I was unimpressed.
-
Is fucking terrible. And I've only got myself to blame because I've sat through all three. I'm a glutton for punishment. The incredibly annoying colour scheme sucks. It takes itself way to seriously. It somehow manages to make Beckinsale in leather unattractive. It wastes the genius of Nighy. It's boring. The werewolves look like skinny blokes in werewolf suits. Utter shit.

-
it's a pompous, shit film. Waste of Nighy, Sheen, Beckinsale, that dude that plays Kraven, Sophia Myles and others.Underworld:Evolution is worse in that it manages to waste Jacobi as well as that list.

I can only think of one good flick Speedman's been in

Dark Blue, with our mate Kurt. And I wouldn't say he was good in it. It's more that the flick was good despite his presence.

"I still wanted to fuck beckinsale"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I think you will find that you still wanted to fuck her because you've seen how good she looks in other flicks. If this was the first time you saw her then your knob would remain as limp as your wrist. Guaranteed.
-
and he kills Underworld dead- bear in mind that Underworld has enough problems. It would have been much better casting to put Sheen in his role and then find some other English actor like Vinny for the Sheen part. If you must insist on an American, I can't believe he was the best candidate. Paul Rudd would have been better.
-
Nov 02, 2009 5:51:47 AM CST
"Paul Rudd would have been better."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
You can say that about any role in any flick. Cool Hand Luke? Paul Rudd would have been better. Hannibal Lecter? Paul Rudd would have been better. Dirty Harry? Paul Rudd would have been better. Michael Corleone? Paul Rudd would have been better. Indiana Jones? Paul Rudd would have been better. hehe
-
Think I saw about half of the second one-looked VERY derivative of other franchises. Kate is nice, though.
-
and it does look good. As soon as Everyman publishes it's dates I'm booking.
-
Christ, I'm still tired as fuck, so what the hell - I'm standing by my assertion. I'm not sure why, but who cares.
-
It makes the first one look like a masterpiece.Also, Rhona Mitra fucks Michael Sheen on the edge of a cliff. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or, but it was memorable. Second stupidest sex scene after the pool fuck in Showgirls.
-
Yeah it's a vast improvement on the first one. I booked IMAX 3D the last friday. I'm assuming I can take the thursday arvo off work as it was the earliest possible screening that didn't have me in the front row or seeing it at 3am. What's the Everyman? Sounds like a pub.
-
It sort of is. I get a comfy sofa for me and Mrs. Jarv and we get to buy beer. Quite often they show unusual films, rather than just the blockbusters. It's good- and only slightly more expensive than sitting in a bin at the Odeon.

I don't think I've seen him in anything since The Hard Way. Then I saw him about a month ago in Public Enemies and now he's in Avatar. He was genius in THW, one of the best things about PE and now looking pretty badass while drinking a piping hot cup o' joe while helicopters fire missiles in the Avatar trailer.
-
See, I also want to fuck Rhona Mitra, but am not sure I can sit through that shit. I like Nighy, Sheen, want to fuck Rhona, and like the idea of Vampires v Werewolves. HOWEVER, They're poo. Does Jacobi come back?

Yeah, mega-shark sucked. Although full disclosure: I only watched first 20 min after the giant octo ate the oil platform, I was out.

Debbie keeping them holstered kind of ruins it. If there had been a full on cheesy b-movie sex scene the movie would have at least been tolerable. Its just shit as it stands now.
-

Nothing too exciting. Had a halloween party on the weekend where I very creatively got dressed up as dracula, and got completely wrecked. I'm still feeling very average.
-
For going out and seeing The Box, unlike those other two who won't go see the new Gilliam. God now I have to wait for Echo to somehow see it before everyone else.
-
but it was OK. Not the best film I've seen, but the best big fish one for ages.
-
I know. I was responding to Jarv. "Rugby on Saturday. England v Australia." I quite like American Football. It's like chess but your pawns are 300lb black guys. And the Cowboys won again this week so it's all good in the hood.
-
Just boring, getting all dressed up. I was jar jar binks with a lightsaber and a bullet proof vest. Just for the trick'r treaters. I didn't even bother dressing up for the party I went to. Ended up staying out till 6 in the AM though.
-
that's why it was such a surprise to keep them hidden in a cheesy b-movie.
-
Are they decent looking? Droid - Cowboys? Aww, come on man! The Cryboys?
-
is that we used to be able to ignore Halloween. Sadly, Mrs. Jarv loves it. I'm also still recovering from Saturday.
-
One of my mates told me. And he would know.
-
It makes her sound like some goodie two shoes or something. Also check out Brandy Ledford IMDB page too. She's no one big, she was in an episode of Droids favorite show, Modern Family. She looked like she could've been some b-movie star. Turns out she's the girl in the Vince Neil sex tape. But her IMDB bio points out her religious beliefs. Hewhores!
-
Went to a good party. The hosts had their Rotty dressed up in a pippy longstockings wig! I almost cried! That poor dog.
-
Kinda hate the giants. Kinda hate the knicks. Kinda hate the yankees. Don't really have anything against the jets or the mets though. I chose the cowboys about 20 years ago when I knew nothing about the sport and they were the first team I saw on tv. I did like the McNair-era Titans though.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
you just couldn't fucking avoid it. This country went batshit crazy for it, unlike any other halloween I've experienced in 5 years here. I walked past a fancy dress shop near my place on saturday afternoon and there was a line to get in that stretched down the street past about 6 shops. Just to get in. Ridiculous.
-
Was pretty laughable to me. I didn't know what was worse that or Giovanni Ribisi as the ANGRY coporate man. They should have hired the bad guy from Speed Racer, at least then it would have been funny.

But they're very easy to hate. My teams are... NFL: Cowboys NBA: Spurs MLB: Indians NHL: Don't have one. Kinda hate Ice Hockey. I'd need to see it live to make the final call on whether I like it or not.

it's been the first for ages on an actual Saturday.

They all suck.
-
I find it difficult to follow. But some of the fights are hilarious.
-
The Yankees I can easily understand. Even I had some issues with Steinbrenner. But as a child Reggie (Jackson) was the straw who stirred the drink. I am not much of a basketball fan. Can take it or leave it really. Hockey is ok. I think Fred and Xi like it so maybe you can ask then about it. But Football, ah that is my first and truest love. It was a struggle in my childhood because both NY teams stunk. Gmen did not get good until the 80's. So, I became a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. To this day they are my second favorite team. But the Giants -even when they make me eat my spleen, will always be number one. Cowboys suck!
-
Nov 02, 2009 9:30:50 AM CST

I would hate the Cryboys even if I was not a Giants fan
by toadkillerdog
Just a blowhard organization. When I was a kid, they had a holier than thou attitude - but the Steelers always kicked the shit out of them, so it was funny as hell watching Landry eat his hat after those games. But Cryboys always had some excuse or other for losing. My favorite was 'That was not the Cowboys out there today', yeah like piss they weren't. I remember a commentator saying 'if that was not the cowboys then who was it, how many teams do they have?' It was a perfect response.
-
but it was the typical highly airbrushed photo shoot and it all felt very calculated and I don't think there was a shot of her box. In the battle of teen idols I give the edge, body wise, to Debbie Gibson's mortal enemy Tiffany because Tiffany answered that age old question does the curtain match the carpet? Why yes, yes it does, and she has implants and tattoos so she's dopey, cheap and easy.
-
Did Tiff do a Pboy shoot - or did you acquire this knowledge elsewhere?
-
Missed the first half hour. It was on Cable so edited to shit. But I wanted to see it, and we needed something on for the trick'r treaters. Its a fucking odd movie. And god are Winnona and Neo awful. Hopkins is pretty bad in it too, I think only when Oldman is present does Hopkins let me down.
-
Documentary.
-
Wow. I did not know that.
-
Hockey is by far the best sport to watch live its great. However watching it on TV is hard but its still way better then soccer.
-
didn't? That strikes me as strange. I always knew Tiffany was filth.
-
Probably needed the money more then the dignity.
-
copying Tiffany when the Shopping Mall hooker had forsaken all dignity to pay the mortgage.
-
tinyurl.com/dzufx8 Scroll down until you see a post with a Tiffany Avatar. Its the only one I found that had an active link. I didn't look that hard though.I figure Gibson didn't do the full monty because she wanted to have some "modesty" or some such nonsense thinking. That and Tiffany showed box so Debbi didn't want to.
-
Jarv you'll like this. Don't know if you saw it, but looks like Being Human is getting its MUCH NEEDED Americanized redo! Can't wait. If America can make The Office better, I think it can do the same for every British show ever made.

Has an Oscar. If this where still 2005, I would like to see the interview. So Mr. Scorsese, the director of Battlefield Earth has an Oscar and you do not? How does that make you feel? Yes it wasn't for anything Battlefield Earth releated. But since then Fighting old Coke Commercials won an Oscar and quick cut editing Matt damon movie won 3. Fucking retarded quick cut editing of Matt Damon won 3 Oscars (two for editing) and Scorsese who was a pioneer for editing doesn't have shit. Ok i take that back Raging Bull won for Editing. So did The Aviator and The Departed. I figured I'd do my fact checking before I got taught a lesson from Conti's School of Scorsese.

did you know australians are far and away the biggest percapita gamblers in the world?the tiffany doco was really disturbing. one guy thought that going in playboy was tiffany showing his love for him. dispite the restraining order. it kinda got funny at the end there, where he was like. i realise now that tiffany never loved me and i never loved her. allisa milano has always been the one for me...........

and again last night. it's a little girl.

Best Wishes for the upcoming addition to your family. Cheers!

Some more. Why does it always put a bloody space in after a tiny bloody url?
-
What are tit braces?
-
Right. Stop that. It's silly. You know full well there are no such thing as "tit braces" and I was merely pointing out that Ms Knightly's jugs are rather, shall we say, petite.And she's wearing Bobby Ball braces in the advert.

I prefer the Broncos but they tanked it bad vs. the Ravens this weekend. Oh well they're still 6-1.
-
only she's forgotten to put some braces on in that picture. The little minx.

Ever seen Freddy vs Jason? Final Destination 2? I give you Odessa Munroe!http://www.celebritymoviearchive.com/tour/movie.php/8944

In no way was I disparaging the Transformer Movies in the ST TB the other day, I enjoy them for what they are. It was because of that twittering twat lockes that I even mentioned them, Star Wars and Lost as well.
-
Is there some reason I should?Oh. I see. Gratuitous jugs. There aren't many things better than gratuitous jugs in a movie.
-
----big Robots(Hitting Each Other) are exactly that. You either enjoy the Robots and iggy the rest of the junk Bay makes you wade thru, or jest don't bother. LocksBoring needs a Goat. Need to get him hooked up w/ Mammaries.

Always Noted_Sage.
-
Right back atcha buddy.
-
Nice one Morbius!
-
I want to hang myself, I've been so busy with work and life and sidework and ugh. Eventually I'll make my way back here for all the interesting conversations.
-
I'm confused. Is it out where you are already? Which is a location I've already forgotten... Australia or England?
-
Ipswich Queensland to be exact I believe.
-
And Droid is the one trapped in England. So again, I'm wondering how Chipps got to see The Box so early?
-
Little insane lockie and Memories of an asshole life Unit are usually in an adveserial postin. Its a slap fight between two people that have the muscle tone and intellecual capacity of a molusk with a learning disability.
-
or one of those test thingys that they do?
-
... From those asshole producers who want to see what went wrong with their own eyes.
-
i was just guessing about screeners. Sometimes don't movies open or screen overseas before the US? I really don't know I'm working on memory here about things I've read. That's a dangerous road to walk.
-
Odessa was in Freddy vs Jasonand Final Destination 2. The Giants play the Chargers this Sunday, Chargers are usually hit or miss and the Giants need to step it up a bit. Could be a good game. Brees and the Saints looked good tonight.
-
2 things that make any film automatically better: Gratuitous tits and Midgets.
-
Or I suggest we decamp to Burt's Rec Room. This is ridiculous now.
-
i won our office sweeps on the melbourne cup. thirty dollars. woohoo!i didn't even see 'the box' immediately when it came out. i just checked what was on it was the best looking thing. I'm surprised no one else had seen it. I'm glad i left what i said really vague, i assumed people had seen it. I live in brisbane, in queensland australia (i come from ipswich, which is one town over and brisbane's poor cousin). usually we get movies after everyone else, sometimes ridiculously long after. this trend has changed of late, mainly due to major productions or stars coming from here or new zealand (like lotr, matrix, star wars and few others) weird.
-
so far as i'm aware. nope, it's just out here, at a guess at least since last thursday, cause that the day movies seem to come out here. the cinema was basically empty
-
England v Australia on Saturday. I reckon Australia will win by about 6 points. Wilkinson is back, though, so we can probably keep in touch.
-
I don't know what the fuck is happening to WotM but someone is fucking with Frank's shit in a frightening way. He's now called "cock bastard" and his section is renamed "bag of cocks". I've fixed it, again, but am thinking about taking it down for being too much of a pain in the ass.
-
someone did it to him, or he did it to himself. Fucking weird.
-
My computer is having conniption fits at this TB, so I suggest we roll over to Burts Rec Room. I can't post anymore after this one so I'll put everything in it. I also just looked at WotM and saw that Frankies name/page has been changed. It has to be someone from the CoC because if i remember correctly i coined the phrase "bag o' cocks" in reference to Bradley Cooper and no one else besides us uses it. To my knowledge. Also, why Frankie? He seems to be the least likely to be a target. Which makes me think he's doing it to himself. But why would you do that? I say take it down and we'll confer with Frankie when he turns up. And that's it. I'm off to see Burt.
-
so the real question is - will i have passed out before the game?
-
For those that wish to convene under the banner of the sacred stache the link is: http://moonwolves.wordpress.com/bgrr/
-
around here!
-
That must be very exciting. A chippette on the way! Will you name her Jeanette? Brittany? Perhaps Eleanor?
-
are all on youtube. Oh happy day...
-
The reason the place is dead is becasue the TB got to big for the at work english/Aussie contingents computrs so they decamped for Burt Gummers Rec room at Werewolves on the Moon. Here's the address, http://moonwolves.wordpress.com/I would think that if there's a new Twitch it will be back to crack a lacking.
