At the movie theater. I was struck by how it almost looked like a parody of the first movie, which is quite a feat. Vern, I probably got more entertainment out of your reviews than either of these movies, so thanks for that, I guess...I'll be skipping ST3 and maybe catch the other one on Cinemax2 or something.

...a bit I saw on HowItShouldHaveEnded.com where they parodied the original film briefly in a mention that the best way to fight giant alien bugs is with an army of "soap opera stars." Sums it up nicely, dontchathink. However, that said, I'm with you...I think the original film was eager, earnest, doofy fun - an almost subsersively obvious parody of the old mid-20th-Century propaganda movies and war films. Of course, they had better effects and were overall more believable, but the dialogue certainly hadn't improved any. Still, it worked for what it was. Sequels? Not looking forward to them. I never saw the second film, but the third's trailer was everywhere when I went to see Dark Knight. Casper Van Dien has sort of become like McG - thy very name is a punchline. Deserved or undeserved, the only movie I ever saw him turn in a decent performance in was Sleepy Hollow. Otherwise, he's just pretty, blond, and tall, and he can remember dialogue. That's...about it. Probably a nice guy otherwise, but I'm not going to pay money to see a film just because he's in it. (Though, as I said, the first Troopers movie was okay.) I probably shouldn't bash on Van Dien so much, because he's probably an okay sort, but...like McG...it's so easy to do. Of course, I relented on McG after his Terminator plea, so maybe I should lighten up on Casper. He seems like such a friendly soap opera star, after all.

It was fairly obvious it would never get a good sequel. I actually enjoyed the forst one. It was cheesy, guilty fun that made fun of it's audience. The CG show was a lot closer to the Heinlein novel, though.

What a way to pussy foot around a bad ass action film. The CG and action destroy nearly any action film of today. Its got a bad ass rousing original score, and smokin' hot chicks blasting giant fucking bugs. Grow some fuckin' balls and hold that classic up high and proud.

...about ST is that it seems that the actors themselves don't realize that they're being the butt of the joke. If you've watched the extras on the DVD and seen how wooden Van Dien and Richards are, and remember how earnest and serious Van Dien was during the promotion of the film, it's even funnier. These days he pretends that he knew all along what was going on, but I don't believe him for an instant. If there were any actors in on the joke, it was Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside.

(Regarding Casper Van Dien) "In my opinion he is not Marlon Brando or Laurence Olivier". You f'n sure their, buddy? I mean between acting ability, body of work, popularity, how can you truly tell the difference? Heh. Man, that cracked me up. Starship Trooper 3 could be a 6-panel cartoon on the back of a damn Coca Puffs box. This review was probably longer than the plot outline. Too funny.

There's some dialog about Starship Troopers between Rob Corddry's character and Neil Patrick Harris's "Neil Patrick Harris" in the latest Harold & Kumar which is worth a chuckle. Apparently the DTV ST's can only afford one original cast member at a time.

I think the main failure was the lack of Jolene Blalock nudity (and the blonde religious chick who was with her). A bit like the first Starship Troopers where we should have had some Denise Richards nudity.

by bottombrick
Aug 4th, 2008
06:18:25 PM
ST is a "guilty pleasure" cause its a joke, Doogie Hauser in SS getup and soap opera actors in war propaganda mode. As far as action is concerned Verhoeven had just came off Total Recall and Robocop, troopers is definitely more Showgirls era Verhoeven. In fact, the switch from pratical effects with digital backing it up to the mostly digital crap on display here is probably the best indication of why great action movies died.

Guilty pleasure because by all rights and examination it's a really silly movie that isn't particularly profound or well-done.

Don't act like an elitist because you think you "get it" more than someone else.

Yes, I get it. The joke is on the audience. We're cheering for Nazis. I "got it" when it was made obvious ten minutes into the film. I got it more when I read the book. 10 years before the movie came out.

Doesn't change the fact that I wouldn't bring this movie up during a thoughtful film discussion. It's kitsch. It's low-level satire. It's also fun.

If anyone is sounding like an elitist twat, it is you. By all rights and examinations it is an extremely well made action film. There is a deeper meaning there, sure-- but I am stating my love for this film for what it is on the surface-- FUN.

I'm sorry you wouldn't dare bring this up during a thoughtful film discussion. And I am very sorry you sound like Memories of Murder's gay brother.

I'm always baffled how certain people go the D-list, Sci-Fi MOW route while other actors go on to get regular work of big budget flicks despite being terrible. In no way is Shia LeBouf any better or more talented an actor than Casper Van Dien--and Casper Van Dien sucks ass! I don't get it.

The thing about Wolf Creek
by SirFlibble
Aug 4th, 2008
07:15:26 PM
it was based on a real life event. For us Australians who were hammered by the media with this story for months, it was a lot more scary as it wasn't as fictional to us. Many of us have been in the outback and know how empty it is so for something like that to happen if one of the scariest things.
Wasn't the joke on Heinlein?
by SpencerTrilby
Aug 4th, 2008
07:21:27 PM
I remember reading the book and thought it was surprisingly un-ironic. It read like a right-wing sci-fi epic (not that there's anything inherently wrong with that) but I always thought the movie was more a (good) parody of the book than an adaptation per se. Maybe I was too young to get the more subtle satire on written form, IDK... But even the "dedicated to" at the beginning smelled gung ho if memory serves.

not really, i can't back that up at all

yeah, the thing about wolf creek (which i'm huge on but it was ok) is that in oz there really are these little communities, many of them dieing and they are like traveling into a different world. Most of them are really great salt of the earth types but it is a bit like texas chainsaw massacre or whatever, you get off the main road and you could be anywhere. The difference is that the desolate parts of oz are seriously big. Oz is the size of the us, but has like 5 cities, all around the edge of it. Imagine driving from the east coast to the west coast and hardly seeing a single person the whole time. australia is like that

I went with my mates to see ST at the flicks and I laughed my head off while they sat silent. They really didn't get it. Bizarre. The thing that made me laugh was the gung ho idiots got their butts kicked twice during the movie, and right at the end they say they're going to kick butt. And then the movie stops. And I couldn't help thinking they got their butts handed to them again. Anyway, caught Rogue too, and it was a very well done movie. It took you by surprise, and the Character flip Vern mentions worked for me, as the guy was a jerk when there was no danger, but sobered up when there was, making him a lot more human than you're normal horror jerk .

Gonna argue some more about Starship Troopers
by bottombrick
Aug 5th, 2008
12:47:25 AM
So the term "guilty pleasure" should never be used in this context; its faggoty. The distinction is this is a fun movie that is campy and delivers the goods in a few places and is being called a Great Action Movie, and that is bullshit. If you can honestly say to me with a straight face that Starship Troopers is in league with Total Recall or Robocop, then you are Satan/a moron. Fuck its not even in the same galaxy as Point Break, which I just heard it lumped in with. Aside from a couple of pieces of awesome delivered by Richter and career sergeant Zim, the soap opera action sets are Showgirls in space. I'll concede the nuclear slam dunk and the brain bug as being pretty cool, but still a film geek with taste wouldn't have this in his top 50 / 100, or even in the top 5 Verhoeven movies.
Jolene Blalock has become DVD Angelina Jolie
by thevision
Aug 5th, 2008
12:51:22 AM
Jolene has always reminded me of Angelina- same facial structure, same lips; check IMDB and they were born in 1975. I agree with the poster who wrote how some actors are stuck doing DVD and those Saturday afternoon Sci-Fi channel flicks while others-with similar or less appeal-go on to the A-List...different paths chosen and Jolene would be on the cover of People Magazine with Brad & babies and Angelina reuniting with Elias Koteas in CYBORG 3! I've always thought Jolene was underrated and was the best thing in that piece of shit SLOW BURN. If Nolan makes Batman 3 with Catwoman and can't get Angelina to do it-like LA Times suggested- I think Jolene would be great- check out the mask scene in SLOW BURN.

...Satan/A moron or whatever. TR was a clever, face paced action movie with good plot twists and an overall great story. Unfortunately, like many great 80s/90s movies, it is dated and doesn't hold up. Robocop on the other hand, (if all of you poeple so obsessed with this shit movie)would go back and watch it again, is nothing more than an R rated flick marketed to the 80's tweener crowd who got off on grotiouitesque (sp?) violence and hearing the F-bomp dropped a few hundred times. It was a shit movie with shit acting and even shittier direction. This is why the RC sequel will bomb and the TR sequel will never be made (cause they can't!) Oh, and just take the title for example: "ROBO" Cop...I mean, it's lame. Do they even really make robots anymore. I thought Brent Spiner raised the bar on the whole robot-hero idea with STNG.

You guys are glorifying an overbudget, underperforming chocolate-covered turd. Don't pretend "Starship Troopers" is some kind of masterpiece.

...let me clarify: TR is one of my fav sci-fi flicks. When I say it doesn't "hold up", I only mean that it isn't as polished as say "I, Robot" or even the god-awful "Star Wars" prequels. Not to say that makes it less of a movie...just that it is obviously dated (In fact, it is the "grittines" a la Blade Runner and original Terminator that makes it a classic). But you have to admit there are some cringe-worth Ah-nold one-liners in TR.

I was 30 when ST came out and had by then read Heinlein's book maybe three times.

In my experience, the people most often offended by Verhoeven's treatment of the book are the ones who didn't get Heinlein's much more sly critique of society and had taken the book to be an endorsement of their own far-right political thoughts. The second group understood Heinlein's critique and felt that Verhoeven's take was much more ham-fisted. The third and largest group are the asshats who didn't even understand Verhoeven's satire. My favorite group, however, is the bunch who started out as members of group 3 and, like Van Dien, are pretending that the joke wasn't on them after the fact.

They changed SO MUCH from the book that the story was barely recognizable. The CG series was closer to the book, except it lacked the fascist undertones.

The effects
by Shoegeezer
Aug 5th, 2008
10:01:05 AM
Don't know why folk are so down on the effects in this. Considering the budget and production time they're pretty good. There are loads of them, the Skotaks mixed in miniatures with CGI which looks much better than the wall to wall cheap CGI most DTV fare gets. Some of it is quite ingenious - the nightvision camera shots of the bugs outside the compound, the in-camera-effect of the shadows of bugs at the beginning of the trench battle. All the effects shots are well composed, such as the scorpion bug sequence or the stuff with the powersuits. Sure it has some of the worst acting ever (the French soldier girls is completely incomprehensible) and the film is way too long but it attempts to appeal to fans of both book and film, isn't short of action and does have some good ideas stuck in there.
Why don't DTV movies have cooler effects?
by FluffyUnbound
Aug 5th, 2008
11:12:24 AM
I mean, look at a movie like SCREAMERS. That movie was relatively cheaply made at the time, and would probably be even cheaper to make now. Why can't DTV movies have effects that are that good? Hell, there were really good horror/scifi/adventure films made decades before most of the expensive effects technologies even existed. It had to be dirt cheap to make the first ON THE BEACH. So why can't DTV scifi be that good? // Also, did someone seriously just claim that the first ROBOCOP was badly written and directed? You're kidding, right? The drawn-out reveal sequence of Murphy post-transformation ALONE puts the direction in that film high above most other action movies. The writing is pretty much the best satire of the 80's ever done that wasn't directed by Oliver Stone. And you're bitching about the acting? Weller does a great job, as anyone who saw ROBOCOP 3 without him can attest. And there are six or seven villain characters / minor characters who are better written and acted than 99% of action movie characters of any decade.

Well, back in the late '90s STARSHIP TROOPERS was not as popular as it is now, especially on the internet. Alot of nerds and/or readers hated that it didn't have the robot suits that are apparently in the book, and couldn't get over that. But more than that people were offended by the anti-militarism themes of the movie. Jeez, I gotta read that book, because this is the first time I've ever heard anybody claim that it in fact was a satire like the movie is. I remember years ago watching endless online blathering about how the movie insults the book's powerful message of duty to one's country and what not.

In fact, there were endless arguments about whether the movie even was a satire... I think it is fair to say someone had to be pretty thick to not understand that aspect of the movie, but believe it or not you could find many people online who were convinced Verhoeven and fans of the movie had made it up after the fact that it was in fact funny and in line with Verhoeven's previous movies and not some kind of weird futuristic recruiting film. AND there was at least one major critic who declared the movie "fascist" and pointed out the Riefenstahl references as if nobody else would pick up on them and as if the movie was meant to be taken at face value. And very racist against bugs.

In short, STARSHIP TROOPERS was a widely misunderstood film for years, but I think most people have caught up with it by now. The "ROBOCOP sucks" thing is new though and I think specific to the one blatantly wrong talkbacker trying to pass that line along.

Also if I had banning power that asshole trying to make us think Freeman is dead would be banned so hard he wouldn't even remember what computers were.

I'll absolutely agree that Total Recall was a better movie than Starship Troopers. It really pulls a similar joke on the audience: the idea of, "Wait, what are we cheering for?" Total Recall can be endlessly dated. Did we watch a dream sequence or not? IMHO, it was done 1000% better, and much less explicitly.

by Subtlety
Aug 5th, 2008
02:16:58 PM
I don't think so. Heinlein was a devoted Military man (he was in the Navy, and rose to the rank of lieutenant). Now, the book is not quite the fascist doctrine that its made out to be (and the movie satirizes) but there's nothing in the book or in his life which would lead one to believe his intent was to disparage militarism. Verhoven, on the other hand, loves to take concepts and push them to ridiculous extremes just to find out where it takes us... and so his take on Heinlein's fairly pro-military material is... Neil Patrick Harris as the head of the Gestapo getting his guys to rape a Vagina-headed-bug's face. Which is arguably at least as good. Heinlein was a huge figure in shaping Science fiction though (as Vern is no doubt aware, being an author himself) and well worth a look, though for my money "Starship Troopers" has suffered from so many cheap knockoffs over the years.

The first SST is, in fact, one of my favorite scifi movies - I loved it ever since I first saw it in the theater. Someone commented that it's mostly CGI; it's not, if you watch the second disk of the 3-disk DVD you'll see that there's a lot of pracical effects (lots of the bug stuff, the Rodger Young breaking up, etc.) As for the suits and drop capsules, Verhoeven and Davison explain they really tried to get them into the movie but they didn't have the budget for it. I'm really, really looking forward to SST3. BTW, I thought Neimeier and Van Dien commented that the religion stuff that's supposed to be in there is satirical as well?

It was a comment of Militarism and the individual sacrifice for society. In Heinlein's world, you are not allowed a voice in government without personally doing service. It's the antithesis of Marxism and Communism, which is why it draws comparisons to Nazism.

Good point about Verhoven pushing the theme to absurdity, which you eloquently explained and was exactly the point I was trying to make when I said he butchered the novel.

...underestimates Americans' capacity for not only intelligent but for critical thought. Heinlein did indeed endorse the idea of service to one's country, but Starship Troopers is his warning of what could happen if this idea is taken too far. If anything, Heinlein was a Libertarian, an idea which for many Europeans, such as the Portuguese M-O-M, is virtually indistinguishable from traditional American Conservatism. M-O-M calling Heinlein a right-wing extremist is, if anything, a demonstration of how shallow M-O-M's perception of American politics is.

Errr, you DO mean the film, NOT the novel, right? Because the novel didn't really outwardly satire the military machine. You kind of had to examine that one and ask yourself exactly what kind of world Heinlein was describing, and whether he was praising it or coyly criticizing it.

This is M-O-M's problem -- he feels that he, and he alone, can decide whether an American is capable of socio-cultural critique or not. What's painfully obvious is that Heinlein is too subtle for him, although his haughtiness will prevent him from admitting as much.

The fact that Verhoeven's film is a more simplistic version of the story is irrelevant.

Note the following: iF: "Do you find it ironic that STARSHIP TROOPERS is embraced by the left wing and right wing for two totally different reasons?" VAN DIEN: "This movie gets it from all sides. They get pro-War fans and anti-War fans. To the left and right. We get extremists who like it. I was on a plane and Karl Rove came up to me and told me how much he loved it. So I get that. And then, we also get the other side. The Green pacifist party had a screening of STARSHIP TROOPERS in Santa Monica and said “we really missed this the first time around, look at how great this movie is, it’s an anti-War movie.” So Ed and I were asked to speak after this rally. It was unreal. So it’s across the board. The military guys always come to me. It’s something to me, that has such a wide base. It gets missed by many from one side, but it gets embraced by the same people whole-heartedly. I don’t know how to explain it. Every director I met across the board loved it. Quentin Tarantino argued with us, even though we weren’t arguing, for three and half hours of why it’s one of the greatest movies ever made."

when precisely have you lived under an oppressive regime?

My guess unless you are 50 is NEVER. Therefore, you know as much and have actually less understanding of fascism than I do. (I only say less, because of the ludicrously fascist policies that have been enacted in Britain.)

You can still smoke in the pub in Portugal. We can't- and before you tell me that isn't fascist, the first country to try to Ban smoking was Nazi Germany.

We're extremely Anti-EU, they're not. And that's just scratching the surface. We also tend to be monolingual and uninterested in anything in a "foriegn" language. We've got a very, very strong nationalist fervour and (to be honest) a fuck sight more history as one nation than them. Don't forget, America is older than Italy, Germany and France and Spain in their current forms. We're the only nation that has basically been unchanged since the early 17th century. We've got different democracies, a different head of state and a different legal system.

We really do not have a lot in common with Europe.

Me? I loves me some Europe.

Seriously though, I see exactly what Jarv is saying. There are a lot of similarities between England and Canada, what with the commonwealth and all. And Nova Scotia is perhaps the most "fascist" of all the provinces as they have initiated the same anti-smoking bans that exist in England. Not only are all bars and pubs smoke-free, but merchants can no longer display smokes in the open. So if you go in to buy a pack of cigs, the cashier has to go to the backroom to get it. And that meant that merchants had to retrofit their establishments to hold the smokes that previously were kept up front.

Imagine walking into a humidor and finding the shelves empty.

Bush's approval numbers just went up again. He's at 31% right now. To put that into perspective, that means you take 3 people off the street, polling odds are that one of them thinks he's doing a bang up job.

I don't work with anyone who is doing better now than they were 8 years ago. So what gives?

If he wants to continue playing the self-righteous know-it-all film/political snob, then he better prepare himself for some blowback. It's that easy really...no matter how many times we tell him.

The Stiller movie is actually pretty damn funny. Not so much for Be Kind Rewind. Stillers movie is mean and rude and Mecia is actually funny, because he was calm and trying to be the next Cheech, which he has the potential to be. But when he's loud and stupid like his show he's fucking terrible. Be Kind was just way to nice, both are vary easy to sit through though.

My first viewing of it was luke warm. I was expecting something to Eternal Sunshine level of brilliance and heart-break.....but it just felt cold. I've seen it 3 times since, and oddly every time it gets better. I like the characters better with each viewing and noting little nuance and rich details I hadn't before. It is a hard film to crack......its a very strange pace and some things feel like they just dead-end and don't go anywhere. But I love it now. Not to the extent that I love Eternal.....but I doubt I ever will love a weird/romantic film that much.

If we are taking their talkback, then I think we should all agree to try and watch these. I'm actually excited for Rogue, though I didnt see Wolf Creek.

Last year I went with free tickets to see Primeval, thinking it was Rogue, and coming out MUCHO disappointed. Primeval was about on the level of a sci-fi channel original, but without the fun that comes with that.

Real quick, again, it was an easy happy little movie. Kind of a just an easy feel good movie. You can tell they are having more fun then what was made in the end. What pissed me off though was that Gondry made a Swinwhatever they called it version of the movies trailer and they didn't put it on the bonus features. They should've had all the mini movies as bonus features, its pretty bare bones.

They were Draks. And I always remember the scene where Davidtch goes back to the home planet and has his name sung in the line of Jareeba or something like that. It was a fine film, if not very subtle. I thought Lou Gossett gave a really good performance there, but the movie was almost universally overlooked til it started playing on t.v.
At least those are my personal favorites

Sort of like locusts. Going from planet to planet and using up the resources.

Also made the effort to say they picked our planet because they used the same things to stay alive (air, water, etc.).

They also had the biosuits to do battle against us, which overcame their size disadvantage.

The creepy factor was much higher when you just caught glimpses of them.

But then I couldn't get around the flaws in logic with their invasion.

was the alien in Galaxy Quest. Stan Winston(God bless him) made him, and he looked cool, but the thing that struck me about him, because he had such little screentime, was his cruelty for a PG movie. He truly hated, despised and tortured the alien race that had seperated from his. He was a truly sadistic sort of creature, and in some ways the movie glossed over that. He was several shades darker than the movie required, and I think that, more than the jokes or anything else, are what stuck in my mind. When he relishes watching their hope dies when Allen is forced to explain the truth of Galaxy Quest.

They are fat, short, and clumsy. They seem very vulnerable without suits. I always wondered what their everyday life was like. What did the E.T.'s do on their planet? Are they all scouts like the ones that come to collect plants in the film....or do other ones have different jobs on their home planet? What does their planet look like?

Like Ed Harris would be standing there smiling and all of the sudden they whip out claws and fangs and spring to attack.

They rip his arm off so he can't let anyone know on the surface.

Maybe that was just years of unfreindly alien experiences.

In the movies of course....

It's biology and how it did what it did always seemed to puzzle me a bit. However, I think it's utter alieness is part of it's charm. It's a mystery, and how it does what it does is far less important to those guys in that situation than the fact that it can do what it does.

by toadkillerdog

Humans wore clothes for protection from elements - once we left sub tropical climes. It was only later that clothing was deemed necessary for mores. Even today, tribes with little outside contact, rarely wear articles of clothing for any sake of modesty.

Aint no shame in my game. Think about waking up and not worry about what to wear or if you had the latest style.

If clothes were born out of protection from the elements, why is there a law against public nudity?

If the temp is just right I say rock out with no clothes.

Danny you weren't driving the car that him right
by ChittyChittyGangBang
Aug 6th, 2008
02:51:20 PM
Just want to make sure, as I thought of you as soon as they said a car plowed into Shia's truck (what does he need a truck for anyway?)

I can see you waiting down a side street, shaking with anticipation as you see him get closer through the binoculars.

All of the sudden you reach through the driver's window of the 1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and place the sawed off broom handle to the gas pedal and the seat, instantly sending the 305-cubic-inch V8 to a sustained redline.

As Shia approaches your hand slams down the column mounted shifter to drive and pull out in barely enough time to avoid the car's b-pillar flying by.

The Olds back tires scrabble for traction like individual pit bulls.

As the four-wheeled missle from Detroit bears down on its still unaware target Danny smiles.

The explosion of glass and metal-to-metal thud is the final climax of years of frustrated movie watching.

As Danny turns to head home and celebrate he hears a noise.

A slight moan floats across the wind towards Danny, somehow drowning out the sounds of sirens and screams.

Shia is alive...

So Danny turns not towards home, but towards a different used car lot.

The target is still alive.

03:12:04 PM
...for some strange reason he was in Morgan's hometown that very same day when he heard I was hot on his tracks. So he hired makeup wizard Rick Baker to put him in prosthetic black face. The application took 10 grueling hours to get the painstaking detail of all 57 of Morgan's skin tags. And the dental application took weeks to prepare. Nobody could believe an actor with Mr. Freeman's vast fortune could have such a dark yellow shade of teeth. "Surely this is yellow enough," Baker was heard grumbling. Shia held up a picture for comparison -- a still frame from Driving Miss Daisy, and said sternly "No....we must go more yellow still, my friend."

I have no fucking clue where studio heads got the idea that he was leading man material and he had the weight to carry a film. Give me a fucking break. This guy needs to either remake Soul Man or Teen Wolf. That should be the limit of his career.

Aug 6th, 2008
03:34:42 PM
what with all the crossovers and all, but Captain America is usually the best comic on the stands every month. My favorite though would have to be the Immortal Iron Fist. I just fucking love that comic and everything about it. There's one book called Infinite Horizon that I particularly enjoy. It's an adaptation of the Odyssey, but it's set now, and it's about a man trying to return home from the war in the Middle East. The issue with the Cyclops just came out a few weeks ago and the writer handled it in a very cool way. The last Thunderbolts arc was incredible but I hear the new one ain't so hot. All Star Superman continues to leave me in awe. It really is one of the best comics in years in my opinion. I actually haven't been to the local shop in weeks because i have been visiting family in Kansas, and I didn't really have time when I finally came back to Oregon last week. So I have a lot of catching up to do. I will just have to see what's in my box when I get there.

I went to the comic shop and got some shit. one series I forgot to mention is called Criminal, and a new issue beginning a whole new arc is starting today. Eash ar consists of mainly stand alone stories that are really only connected by recurring characters. It's an excellent homage to the entire noir film genre (which is my favorite genre after the samurai film) and is really well written. If you like gore I would suggest the incredible Walking Dead series by Robert Kirkman. The 100th issue just came out and the author is letting it be known that they are now taking it into a new direction. It's really one of the best books on the stands. I would also suggest trying to catch up with the story by gradually getting some of the trades. It's a great story worth every penny.

You know the story that's got the whole Justice League, but it's set in the transitional period between the 50s and the 60s during the Cold War? I have never read it, but I am really excited.

But I really want to read the other issues but i want to read them in order.

The Walking Dead is fucking amazing! Seriously, I hate M. Knight Shazam, but I think he would be the perfect director to make the comic into a HBO series, you can't make it into just a one off movie without it being too Night/28 Days/Dawn Remake/any other Zombie movie.

As excited as I am for the upcoming season of Prison Break as I am? By far the best god damn show on the tele. Now with the addition of Micheal Rapport (which can only mean this will probably be the last season), will only make it that more awesomerer. Fucking Heroes/Lost/24/Terminator/Danc ing with the stars/Dealing Deals/Show Me the Money/Cavement/2 1/2 Men, Prison Break is the best show.... save for maybe Dexter and Rescue Me.

If you're gonna read Watchmen make sure you read Dark Knight Returns too. Both are classics. You could argue that either one is the greatest comic book ever and I would probably agree with either, though I personally hold Watchmen higher by a hair.
I've only scene one episode of the wire
by Series7
Aug 7th, 2008
02:13:56 AM
Because I've never had the HBO, and they started showing it on the BET and I caught the first episode and it was all edited and I am not sure if it was the first Wire episode and I didn't really get into it. As for Heroes, the second season was so terrible because it starts at the same place season 1 started, and its pretty much the same season over again!

Prison Break is just awesome fun, it comes on Monday nights when my brain is kind of fried and its easy to follow, then its followed by Terminator which I am always to out of it to fully know whats going on. Plus Prison Break is doesn't kill off the best actors after like 3 appearances like Heroes did to Malcom Macdowell who was mad he was off'ed. Prison Break kicks ass just because it doesn't try to over think shit, it just goes with it and anything goes. Speaking of PBreak what I said about the Twelve becoming a movie I mainly remembered them mentioning Dominic Purcell being the underground guy, he is in PBreak.

Yeah I plan on

Hello everyone (I hope you're here chips my Antipodean mate).

Greatest last shot ever- The Godfather. It's just perfect.

Other absolute crackers: Trainspotting and the British end of The Descent.

If we're going to have great last shots, what about great last lines- Alien/Alien3 (same dialogue- different inflection and I think I prefer Alien 3), Casablanca. THis is a good topic.

I also like Lady Vengeance, but really feel the end ruined it.

last night.

I actually really went off Unbreakable. It's a fucking shame because I was really enjoying it, and to a great extent it would be a perfect origin movie. But then that ending makes me want to hurt endangered species it's so shit. And it barely qualifies as a twist because if you couldn't see that coming you should be ashamed of yourself.

I do really like Bruce in it- a great understated performance, and also SLJ puts in one of his better efforts. But that bloody end. M. Night really is a dick.

True story about ET

Aug 7th, 2008
03:27:19 AM
I was listening to the radio a bit ago and Mark Kermode (one of our better critics) was telling a story about how he went to interview the guy that made the ET puppet. The interview was going well and the guy said "Do you want to meet ET". Kermode was excited, so the guy took him out to a shed and in the corner under a load of rusty garden shit was ET. Kermode said it was heartbreaking, because the puppet had actually gone mouldy and was just fucked.

by Lost Jarv
Aug 7th, 2008
03:57:45 AM
I'm not joking- I can name, easily, 10 Yarpies/ Indians and an Italian that have captained England.

It's all a cunning plan to evoke the spirit of 1981. What will happen is that England will be getting thrashed by Australia next Summer. The Kipper's form will be in the toilet and it will be looking like a whitewash on home turf. Horrified the ECB will send out the call to the one man that can beat Australia- and the great MPV will return to lead us to a 2-1 series victory.

You heard it here first.

we used to have an excuse for robbing them because of Apartheid, and Australia weren't exactly blame free. Nowadays we've no such excuse- although, ironically, Pietersen is more English than Strauss who was the other candidate this time.

It should still be Vaughan and the fucking coach should get his marching orders instead. I'd gut this fucking side- keep only Vaughan (I don't care if he's out of form- form is temporary, Class is permanent and he's worth 50 runs as captain), KP, Fred, Cook, and Broad and sack the rest.

I don't give a fuck about Bell-end's 199, he's got less spine than an amoeba, Collingwood is clearly past it, Ambrose (an Aussie) can't bat and it should be Read or Foster if your picking a keeper that can’t bat anyway, Anderson doesn't look where he's fucking bowling, Sidebottom is knackered, Strauss was never that good to begin with and is in even worse form than Vaughan.

I’d pick Shah and Key, make Vaughan open (his best place), play Fred at 6 Broad at 7 and bring back Jones and Grievous.

And that’s a winning fucking side.

I do not feel optimistic about today in the slightest.

And from the Guardian- this sums up exactly how I feel about them:

"The overwhelming emotion is not anger or even frustration so much as a bittersweet sadness, like when you look in someone's eyes and recognise that you no longer love each other, and never well. And a showy, sexy frock imported from South Africa won't change that. Can't fight fate. Yet it's not even three years since September 12 2005, the day we swapped hearts for eternity. How did it come to this?"

For a book around 100 or so pages it packs a hell of a gut punch. Kubrick changed a lot of the story. It's more proof Kubrick is a genius, he was able to tell his own story and it was as good as the book, just different.

The book is good if you ever come across it, pick it up.

Anways, I'm off. We're moving! and its been suprisingly easy. Thank Xenu, but still a lot of work and the Navy chopper pilots are being snotty, in that particularly cunty Navy way. They must be related to MOM.

One other thing, when Pillow comes on line you can congradualte him because his beloved NY Jets just got a new, unheard of quarterback, named Brett Farve or maybe Far-Ver-Ra, not sure. Pillow should be a happy fellow today, more then usual with this news.

I think Pan's and Lives of Others are both classics, and both have characters fighting an oppressive regime and it's members who choose blind fealty over conscience.

Jarv, did you know that the main actor,Ulrich Muhe, who played the Stazi policeman, actually learned that his wife had been an informant who was spying on him during that time period? So, I guess it was rather personal film for him.

Sadly, Muhe passed away from stomach cancer(I think) shortly before or after the film won the Oscar. I don't recall.

Jesus, that's a lot of good stuff going on up above. I swear, these TBs get more weight to them everyday.

I can't believe there's someone else that actually prefers Mr. Vengeance to Oldboy (and I effing love Oldboy).

Sixth Sense isn't as good the second time around, but I have a feeling it would hold up slightly better if you only watched it once every 7 or 8 years. You guys know me, I'm one of those spazatroids that gives M.Night no end of grief because I think he's incredibly gifted but wastes his talents on his poor scripts and inflated ego. And Unbreakable mostly had me up until the third act.

I can't believe Favre went to the Jets. This news is almost as shocking to me as Beckham signing with the Galaxy (I wonder if that came as no surprise to the Brits who understand Becks a lot more than we do).

Full Metal Jacket. Wasn't the novella it was based on called something like The Short Timers? Here's a little known fact. Michael Herr who was a war correspondent in Vietnam wrote a book based on his experiences called Dispatches. Parts of Apocalypse Now and FMJ have been lifted from Dispatches, namely his one-time meetings with the odd grunt that was beyond surreal (the GI in ApocNow with the grenade launcher who hits the VC over the wall taunting him and the helicopter gunner in FMJ who is shooting farmers in the rice paddies).

The movie endings above? Nice. The Godfather is the fanboy cliche choice but that's because it truly is the best choice. Not only best ending ever but one of the best movie shots ever. A close second would be, yes, Dr. Strangelove with Peter Sellers jumping out of the wheelchair before the Doomsday device goes off.

Prison Break? Looks like Jarv and I are in agreement again (3 for 3 this morning) as the first season was great. But season two lost me, especially the hillbilly's character and the inability of the other escapees to just kill him and his odd ability to be able to kill people with only one good hand.

I don't think any sequels that were better than the original were missed above.

Wild at Heart, The Rock, Red Rock West, Adaptation, Raising Arizona, Con Air, 8MM, Bringing out the dead.

It's just when he's in a bad film it's reaaaaaally bad.

An alternative question might be films in which Nicholas Cage has not sucked. That's a shorter list.

In the original film,
by Jonah Echo
Aug 7th, 2008
08:42:18 AM
and yes I'm not citing this as some epiphany, weren't the bugs and troopers presented more along the lines of cowboys and indians or brit colonials and tribesman. The siege on the base is very like Zulu, and towards the end of ST, Van Dien does an almost John Waynian drawl as he says "Must be some kind'a big smart bug.

In any case, it was a force encroaching upon a presumably primitive and inferior race, and then proclaiming their enemy evil after retaliation.

The cowboys and indians thing worked well enough for me. The terrorists reading isn't as good, and kind of contemporary knee-jerk.

However, it's entirely likely the new film may go that way. I think it's more of a historically relevant view, than just relegated to the last ten or 15 years of contemporary events.

I find it a gentle and entertaining film, with lots of humor and a lighter touch, but not completely vapid. I think there is alot there, and it's all handled well. It falls into my top four of Star Trek films. It is dated to a very specific time, but it's a lovely little time capsule.

Even the fake southern accents by the kids on little Forrest Gump's bus were that bad.

by Jonah Echo
Aug 7th, 2008
08:48:51 AM
and several at the time, they all make the references- I think Harry might even have shared my cowboys and indians view. I'm not someone who finds Starship Troopers terribly precient, or even terribly witty, but it was basically a smarter than it needed to be creature flick.

I don't really find it anymore culturally relevant in this turbulent time than in the perceptually less turbulent climate of 1997.

But, Im still looking forward to ST3.

Worst Accents of all time:

Kevin Costner in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and Keanu Reeves in Dracula. And Sean Connery in anything that isn't Scottish (Russian Submarine commander? Spanish/ Japanese immortal) I know these have been parodied endlessly, but there is a reason.

right, Jarv, it wasn't subtle..
by Jonah Echo
Aug 7th, 2008
08:52:57 AM
and it was mostly there to make the movie something of a spoof of the Heinlein novel. Heinlein's work was sincere. He was a saber rattler for sure. They would have done well to handle his story more straightforward, without the parallels. I think he would have had a far more relevant movie as a result.

Starship Troopers is a big budget B movie. Nothing more or nothing less, and it's not really something to be ashamed of. Robocop in concept is just a B movie, but what they did with it was so much more.

on Starship Troopers wasn't Heinlein, or Iraq or 60s westerns. I think it was Archie and Jughead comics. And yea, that's been mentioned before. Verhoeven's work isn't about subtle homage. It's like grabbing a bunch of choice ingredients, leaving them in big hunks and then stirring them into a swirling broth of his own making.

Costner and Connery have the worst accents. BUt I swear, when Connery unexpectedly showed up as the King at the end of the movie, the entire theatre I was in screamed Sean! It was awesome.

You know, I can't remember. Saw it just the one time. I do vaguely recollect a neat long shot at the beginning but that's it.

I don't care that Costner's accent in Thirteen Days was horrible. That movie was fantastic. Bruce Greenwood and Dylan Baker need more work.

Speaking of Gary Sinese and Forest Gump, the other day we were listing effects shots that knocked us on our ass the first time we saw them. Regardless if you hate the movie, everyone here must admit seeing Sinese without his legs was the ultimate "how did they do that?" moment.

I love Open Range and Dances With Wolves and will put them on a top 20 best western list any day.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is one of those movies that has a lot of bad but also a lot of good going for it. Rickman and Freeman overcome Costner's accent and a less than stellar performance by Slater. Plus, the summer it came out was one of those awesome summers you endlessly reminisce about and makes everything associated with it that much better: starting out in college, mad in love with your girlfriend at the time, discovering the Nintendo with your buds and drinking beer around a campfire on the beach. Summer of '91. Good times.

If a team is down 4-0 and they keep playing and win the next three, then it goes into the history books as a 4-3 series loss, which at least looks better.

Team can also redeem themselves by at least making it close.

But on the other hand, they can also get skunked 7-0 in the series and reaaallly feel bad about themselves.

But as you said it is mostly about revenue.

I think thats probably why I always felt Dracula was the weakest of the classic Universal monster films. There is really no story there for me......he is a vampire. Okay...he's creepy and sucks your blood. I just felt there should be more about him, where he came from, why he is what he is-- all that.

Dracula
by Sithdan
Aug 7th, 2008
09:46:43 AM
Well, the same could be said about Michael Myers and the more recent incarnation of the Joker. We don't know anything about them, where they came from (aside from a brief backstory about Michael), and that makes them more terrifying. It's the fear of the unknown. I know when Michael was given a more in-depth origin in the Rob Zombie remake, it was critically panned. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Maybe I should re-watch the '92 Dracula. Some movies get better with age.
It's a fine line
by Lost Jarv
Aug 7th, 2008
09:49:15 AM
Some Characters do better without a backstory (Myers leaping to mind), but with some it helps flesh them out. Especially Dracula- seeing as the novel gives really quite a lot of info and the 92 Dracula followed it faithfully.

I'm sorry Danny, but it really was. Shoehorning in Tom Sawyer was so obviously a marketing decision.

Sean did kick some ass in it, but Mr Hyde was dismal (probably the worst ever on screen), Sean and Tom Sawyer bonding made me squirm, Nemo was also embarrasing.

No, really not a good film at all.

Mike Myers and Joker....
by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD
Aug 7th, 2008
09:51:33 AM
Yeah...but those are totally different. Michael Myers is just that-- a mindless killer. And I dont really give a shit about learning anything more about him. And the Joker is meant to represent mindless violence just for the sake of fucking shit up, so he needs no back-story and the lack of an origin makes him more intimidating because he just pops up out of nowhere and you have no idea what his motives are. Dracula is a romantic character. We should feel for him. He is not a monster, he is a cursed individual that hates himself for what he has become.

Really? You didn't like Hyde. I understand the hate on Sawyer.....but Hyde? Man, I thought that was the most fantastic combination of practical suit/CG for a humanoid type character. I wish they did something similar for the Hulk. Use an actor in a large suit for close-ups and CG just for the wides. I thought he worked great. And I like the guy that played him. And its the first time Nemo is ever shown in his intended nationality I believe. And Dorian Gray was awesome too. Stuart Townsend was perfect in the role. The only one I didnt really like was Mina....just because I thought she could have been a lot hotter.

It's probably a dreadful movie and many of the effects are inexcusably bad, but it's Connery's last role and I still love the suit they created for Mr. Hyde.

There's a new topic. What mainstream movie do you keep blinders on for even though you know deep down the movie is grade A crap but there's something about it worth redeeming to you?

by Lost Jarv
Aug 7th, 2008

and an intelligent use of the character. It wasn't so much Nemo's nationality that was insulting, just the performance- it was the Indian equivalent of Nicholas Cage's Gotta lotta pasta accent in Captain Corelli.

With Hyde- first time was good, and the mix of suit/ CGI was a good idea, but they nobbed it completely with the Uberhyde at the end and the design with the hunchback was just horrible.

I like Jason Flemyng and have done ever since Lock Stock, but the "good show Edward" nonsense in it was him phoning in a performance.

I read somewhere that he hammed up his natural accent for it. If that isn't true then I stand corrected.

Also, nerdily, there's no reason why Nemo had to be native Indian. With his resources etc at the time he would more likely be a white English colonial asshat.

Because its not the real world. Its a make believe world that exists in the minds of children. It should be theatrical and over the top.

but you just leveled the guns against Isaacs. Isaacs Hook was the best to date, because he actually played to the children. Hoffman's Hook was a prancing queen, who picked the most obvious, high-pitched note for Hook he could. Isaacs actually seemed like the kind of villain a child could hate-one that was equal parts jealous rival, and potential parental unit.

Isaacs Hook = boring
by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD
Aug 7th, 2008
10:32:28 AM
I don't know which was worse, Isaacs' boring ass flat performance, that homo Pan's annoying lisp, or Tinkerbell. All three were equally terrible. And the flying was lame as hell. It looks way too jerky greenscreeny with that artificial motion blur. I hate that crap. The only element of Isaacs I did like was the perverse moments with Wendy when he is almost hitting on her but not quite. That movie is completely dull and forgettable, and its quite sad because a studio won't give that story a shot for a long long time because of it. Hook is not really Pan.....its a sequel to the Pan story-- I wanted to see a proper Pan story that would be remembered for generations to come, and they totally blew their chance. The girl who played Wendy was great though. I will say that.

Dragonheart as much as I thought I liked it as a kid, caught part of it the other day and turned it off because it was bad. Maybe because I was watching it on basic cable which makes everything seem bad for reason?

I nearly walked out when he said "Converse, Late 20th Century Vintage, cool".

I fucking hate them trying to sell me something in something I'm already paying for. If he'd just been wearing it, I'd have been fine.

On this topic, I hope everyone that works for Pearl and Dean burns in the 7th circle of hell. Why do Cinema owners not understand that if we're paying over $20 a fucking ticket to see something it is not acceptable to show 30 minutes of FUCKING ADVERTISEMENTS first.

That's my pet hate. It's now got to the stage where me and Mrs. Jarv turn up, buy the ticket, fuck off to the pub for an hour and come back just in time for the start of the movie. You may miss the trailers, but I'm an AICN geek so it doesn't bother me.

the local odeon we go to is NEVER cleaned. So it's worth minimising the time that we have to sit in a fucking bin. And if you complain to one of the knuckle dragging troglodytes that allegedly works there (not that I've seen one of them ever do anything apart from eat Pick N Mix), then they look at you like you've just raped a baby and are requesting that they help you dispose of the body.

We actually stopped going to it, and go to the more expensive cinema that's a bit further away.

And it's time and money well spent.

I heard the blue tone was all Mel, when he took the film over. It was the first I ever heard of an unorthodox color correction-- but of course fucking Traffic gets all the credit for that.

Peeing on the corpse scene, I haven't laughed harder in years. It makes Ben Stiller/ Will Ferrell shit all the more pathetic to me, that the funniest movies are almost always comedy/crime type films. They can do the comedic thing with a ton of cool action type shit in between and come out far more enjoyable. Val is funny as hell in Kiss Kiss. I can't think of another performance that year that was better as far as comedy goes.

I'm saying that a guy like Shane Black and a guy like Val Kilmer who can do a ton of other cool shit can come along and make one of the funniest films in years, and comedy is not even their thing. They are capable of so much more as well. Guys like Ferrel/Stiller/Rogen/Apatow/Sa ndler.....all those buffoons-- comedy is their bag. Thats basically all they are capable of, and they still manage to fuck that up almost every time and come away with films that are generally not funny nor entertaining. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang shames anyone who considers themselves a comedic filmmaker/actor in the last few years.

Val and I were doing what we normally do, stroke each other off while watching our favorite TV show. (J.A.G. if you must ask!)Anyhoo, Val's got this thing about having his cat watch him ejaculate, really gets him off. God, knows why, but boy oh boy does he CUM HARD when I force Mr. Whiskers to watch. So I'm sitting there, cat in one hand, my hard cock in the other, waiting for the ice Man to shoot his goo. Stroke stroke stroke...Nothing. "Fuck it" I say to myself and start ass fucking Mr. Whiskers. You can safely say Mr. W wasn't too pleased with this. It was frantically trying to bite me as made him my bitch. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and in a moment of passion I snapped the fuckers neck! Val had his head cocked back over the couch,eyes shut, still trying to finish so he didn't notice. I continued to fuck the recently deceased feline so he wouldn't think anything was wrong. Before I could finish though, he tore the cat off and began to blow me. He was sucking the feces of his beloved dead cat off my schlong!!! Strange enough, he never asked about the cat though after we broke up, I heard though the grapevine that he was fucking one of Danny Dickbloods dogs. XOXOXOX!

'Date-rape chemicals' may be banned 3 hours ago Ministers are planning to ban two chemicals which can be used as date rape drugs, it has been announced. The substances are legally available but when absorbed by the body they rapidly convert to the drug GHB, which was banned five years ago after being implicated in sexual assaults. Scientific advisors have warned that the drugs may be contributing to the "significant problem" of drug-aided rape. The Home Office said it now intends to control the two chemicals, known as Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) and 1,4 butanediol (1,4-BD) as Class C drugs after a consultation period. A Home Office spokesman said: "The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs found they were increasingly being used as a legal substitute for GHB, particularly as a 'club drug', and can lead to dependence if used regularly, unconsciousness and even death by intoxication." The chemical industry will be asked for its views on controlling GBL and 1,4-BD, which are widely available as cleaning fluids and industrial solvents. Earlier this year a seven-year-old girl from south London nearly died after eating toy beads coated with 1,4-BD, which caused her to suffer breathing problems and lose consciousness. The Home Office also revealed plans to control 26 anabolic steroids and growth promoting drugs, in addition to nearly 60 which are already illegal.

Yes there is a sense of accomplishment in talking with people you enjoy about films you love and destroying all other TB's in posts. They are quick little "Gotcha" stories that rise and fall fast. Little snippets of information of the latest big budget bullshit that will most likely end up a disappointment. Here-- we talk about the films of yesterday that everyone seems to forget. The films that have already earned major replay value. Its fun....and entertaining, and it helps me keep my sanity throughout my work day.

Now lets talk about you friend. What is your excuse? And explain to me the sense of accomplishment you get from random semi incoherent posts with sex jokes that aren't funny most of the time. I can post random shit about cum, cunts, cocks, and assfucking too. It doesnt make it funny. There is no context to your humor. It is too hit and run in style. I think I'm the only person that reads your shit, so if you are doing this simply to entertain me then I do appreciate that. Let me tell you-- it would be a lot more enjoyable if you joined the conversation. You have opinions of your own and you have proven that a few times. Why not join in? As lame as it is for us to get a sense of accomplishment from the number one spot, it is far more pathetic for you to get a sense of accomplishment from posting random shit no on reads.

its a misconception fatty foods cause acid reflux. Its mainly cause by "Acidic" foods. Stay away from tomatoes, chili peppers, lemons, pineapple, and grapefruit-- none of which would be considered "fatty foods" really. If someone is having a reflux problem from shit like buffalo wings or steak-- its generally from the spices in the sauce.

Now that you know....your joke is not funny.So fuck off.

She not tricked. She left FBI, and joined Lector in Argentina. They have Romance, she keeps him on short leash. Fred might be wrong about here eating people too though. Fred has to re-read that part, but in movie they cut out her romance with Lector.

The book's controversial ending has Lecter presenting Starling with the exhumed bones of her father, which he "brings to life" by hypnotizing Starling, allowing her to say goodbye. This forges an odd alliance between Starling and Lecter, culminating in their becoming lovers and escaping to Argentina. At the end of the novel, Barney (the hospital orderly) sighted Clarice and Hannibal at the Teatro Colon of Buenos Aires

In both movie and book it suffered from moments of stupidity. I'm really reaching here because it's been several years and I forget but the Italian cop, he cornered Lecter at the museum (???) and didn't have ANY backup and ends up getting disemboweled.

Frankly, I'm tired of that cliche. The killer appears unconscious? He ain't. Pick up the gun (don't leave it lying next to him) and put one in his head. You're about to arrest the world's most dangerous diabolical killer? Have the place swarming with so many cops he'll either need a Star Trek teleporter to escape or Rambo at his side.

I read the book before I saw the movie but that chapter just blew it for me and the movie filmed it identically.

The movie got it right by removing the romance at the end but at that point I really couldn't give a crap.

The reason he didn't kill Lecter was b/c he'd get a bunch more money for him alive. He was a well-trained detective with a little too much confidence. What about Colin Ferrell in Minority Report, he was a great foil for "hero" Cruise who realizes the truth and gets whacked by the true killer.

Money is a huge motivator and the Giancarlo could not tell anyone else on the force b/c he was basically playing the role of the bounty hunter, that is why Lecter punishes him in such a public way. Starling tries to warn him, but she tries to warn everyone, no?

That is some bad ass fucking Spielberg.....I would never call that film sentimental and soft in anyway. I heard from someone that the only real difference from book to film is that precogs were retarded and deformed in the book and in the film they are just crack babies basically. Can anyone confirm?

not so much like the movie. I love the movie. It's classic Spielberg. And it wasnt that sentimental, thogh I heard originally Spielberg had a final title card that appeared over the scene of the cabin, saying that Precrime was retired, and then...gave the number of murders committed the following year in the District of Columbia. They totally should have left that.

If you wanted a downbeat ending, do what some do with A.I. Stop watching when Anderton goes to prison and Tim Blake Nelson puts him away, talking to him about dreams. Cut to a dream of his son, and end it there.

For the rest of us, give us that happy ending. Im not so miserable I want to see the good guys lose and evil reign supreme, even in hard edge entertainment.

Happy Endings
by frongbak
Aug 7th, 2008
03:40:35 PM
Maybe I am a miserable bastard but I think a movie can have a happy, sad, or ambiguous ending as long as it stays true to the spirit of the film, Aliens, one of my favorite movies ever, has a perfect happy ending, Terminator 1 has a happy ending but the final photo echos to inevitability of the future a brings a bittersweet tone that speaks to the intensity of what we saw before, Seven has an intensely painful ending that works for it's painful story. I just feel that sometimes Speilberg wants all his films to end on the same happy note, regardless of what we've been exposed to previously. I think AI was a sick joke played on Speilberg by Kubrick. He knew SS would bring to it flawless direction but a complete inability to deal with the darkness of the ending. He gift-wrapped an incredible story with a poisoned center. That is why it is a fascinating, infuriating movie, that I hope will be recognized as the flawed masterwork I think it is, but that's just me, I could be way off.

is good bad and ugly a true sequel? it is more a thematic continuation. I always thought it was a prequal. here is my reasoning. 1)a lot of actors show up after they have died in other movies but you could maybe pay that they survived. van cleef does not play the same character but you could at a stretch think maybe he does. big one 1) in the shoot out in the grave yard at the end of fistful, if you freeze frame it there are grave stones marked in the 1870s. the third movie was set during the civil war 2)1860s. the problem with this is that at the start of fistful no name is broke. at the end of ugly he is rich. but with a bit of imagination you can make it fit. that said i recently read lenoie in an interview where he was unequivical that it was not following the same character (clints)

Good call on Red Planet. If I'm stuck for something to watch, can't make up my mind, I often turn to Red Planet. Sounds like a back-handed compliment to the movie but I don't mean it like that. The editing seems all off in the first third, like Terence Stamp's performance has been hacked around. And the scene when Kilmer and Moss almost get close - using that as a flashback was a mistake, should've used that at the start, real-time.

Very cool soundrack, agree completely. The bit near the end when he's on Mars and she's in orbit, all hope gone and he says "I should've kissed you." A pause and she replies, "Yeah, you should've kissed me..." The comm signal dies and the music cue comes up - absolute gold dust.

for me, definitely the one between Liam Neelson and Tim Roth in Rob Roy. It's one of those classic sword fights that actually helps to further character development and transcend the flashy moves and twirling blades (I love the Errol Flynn Robin Hood, but that's a good example of what I am talking about in terms of style over substance).

Have you seen Cashern? Its got some intense sword fighting scenes. I may be wrong but there is a good sword fight in Army of Darkness.

I'm trying to think of a good sword fight where someone has a sword and someone else has like leg of lamb or light, like some good Tom and Jerry episode.

Luke Goss is a fucking mad man in thst movie. Probably the best action scenes I have seen in an American produced film after the Matrix films.

Have not seen Cashern yet but I keep hearing shit about it. I need to find it soon I guess.

Army of Darkness is campy fun, but I really doubt it's gonna win any awars for its fight choreography. Nothing special there.

Another great stylish sword fight for me with a bit of vapid style thrown in is the clash between Achilles and Hector in Troy. that's just some creative stuff, and i loved Pitt's aggressive movement throughout the scene, like when he's pacing around Bana like a hungry lion looking for the strike. Really good stuff.

Toy Story (Warner Village theater in Watford England)

Matrix (Dana Mall Cinema in Bahrain)

Die Hard with a Vengeance (West Ruislip navy base theater England, shitty ass theater)

Nightmare Before Christmas (potomac mills mall theater, VA)

and Forrest Gump (West Ruislip navy base theater England, shitty ass theater). I am sure about those. Here are some I need to let sit a few years: Speed Racer (Mall Drive Reagal, SC)

Kong (tyson corners mall theater, VA)

and Wall-E (Mall Drive Reagal, SC).

Now note, you had to have seen these movies inside the walls of a movie theater, VHS/DVD/BETA/LASER DISK doesn't count. These have to be the movies where after you saw them and you talked to someone else who said "Well I'll wait" you thought to yourself how stupid that person was.

I don't think anything is gonna catch fire right now Series7
