Kudos for the shout-out to Razorback, which is a great giant homicidal pig movie.

I for one was always more scared of those two brothers than the powerful porcine.

It also had the blonde lady show her breasts.

Nice.

"Father, please help me."

"Oh yeah, like I'm a priest." There goes the reason for his mysterious hatred for men of the cloth.

Also McCraken put sugar in his horse's gas tank.

Reminds me of Rawhead Rex peeing on the priest.

I mean, who comes up this stuff at the production meetings?

How would they know if they did DNA testing anyway?

Do they have some real Bigfoot DNA to compare it to?

Sucker punched!!!

I'm surprised no one else thought of the invisible idea to save money.

I liked him in True Lies, ecspecially when he pulled the gun out of the tv camera.

Jonah, lots of questions to answer, my man. I haven't seen Zebraman yet but I'm working on it. And I have CJ7, but can't get around to finishing it as something keeps interrupting. It's a cursed movie for me.

Pillow, sadly I probably only have about 700 DVDs and they aren't in a Vegas-esque underground vault. Most of them are in folders. I ran out of wall space (my ManLand area upstairs is limited what with the screen and seating) and decided to start taking movies out of their cases and putting them in folders. I store the empty cases in a closet.

Jonah, I just thought of a few more titles you probably haven't seen: Going By The Book, The Restless, Righteous Ties and The Show Must Go On so I'll include those as well.

As for everyone else, here's what you'll be receiving: Sinking of Japan, I'm A Cyborg But That's OK, Invisible Target, Protege, Shinobi, The Restless, Musa, Silmido and Yamato.

Chitty, Wolfie and Mavra will be receiving the original 8 from the first kit as well.

All in all, the next kit will probably have 12 movies for Jonah, and double that for everyone else. That's who you get for watching so many Asian movies, Mr. Echo! So I think its going to take me longer than expected to get them out.

"Yes, I have my hand up your skirt and I AM going for it!"

Tom Arnold.."Just copy the goddamned files! OK?"

Same goes for everyone.

In fact, should I just throw out a list of movies and everyone chooses what they want?

Daisy may indeed be my favorite so far, but The Warlords was really great, and Chocolate was just insanely fun.

Jonah, I'll send you Shinobi so yank it from your queue. Use that spot for a Hollywood release.

And I'm not doing this expecting anything in return. I enjoy your reactions to the movies as much as you enjoy the movies themselves. You know, like watching somebody open the present you gave them on Christmas morning. It's almost better for the one giving the gift than it is for the recipient.

Although I will say this. If anyone here breaks into it the film industry big time, don't forget the Donor. Other than that, just enjoy the movies.

But the real treat was the elbow drops.

Jesus, I stopped counting after about 50 of them and the double elbow drop from above.

Spike also showed Kung Fu Hustle (classic) and Kung Fu Killer.

Seriously though, consider yourself remembered. But dont hold your breath for my making the bigtime.

"If you're hungry, try a piece of your friend!"

I will search for The Protecter asap.

Awww.

Free beer would be a good way to repay.

Also good work of when to show glimpses of Razorback.

Like when he is behind trough and flings it upwards.

1) Sinking of Japan

2) The Art of Fighting

3) Arahan

4) I'm A Cyborg But That's OK

5) The Myth

6) Save the Green Planet

7) The Restless

8) Shinobi

9) Musa

10) Tears of the Black Tiger

11) Protege

12) Open City

13) Yamato

14) Righteous Ties

15) The Show Must Go On

16) The Restless

17) Silmido

18) Rainbow Eyes

Or Jerry Lewis, so of course they will trash it.

Then in 1993 I read a review about a little movie called Hard Boiled. And I searched high and low for it. In '94 it got an official North American release and it was everything I expected and more.

I immediately watched The Killer and A Better Tomorrow after that. By then my Blockbuster had a decent foreign section so I went through all of Kurosawa's stuff in a week.

The Asian movie scene outside of Hong Kong was dire during the 90s so I turned back to Hollywood for a while.

Then I met my wife. Four years ago I went to Korea with her and we were on the subway and they have TV screens and were showing ads for Tae Guk Gi, Arahan and Ong Bak and I thought, wow, those look great. So I picked up a few titles on DVD, watched then when I got back and the real love affair began. I signed up to every online Asian DVD rental service and had a dozen or more movies coming in every week. I was watching 2-3 a night.

Now all I want to do is spread my love of hidden classics, like Daisy, to guys like you.

I spilled my coffee reading that. You owe me a friggin dress shirt, Vern

Free Martial Arts movies, beer = Really good time. I am checking into the beer via fed ex thing by the way.

Also Enter the Dragon was my first viewing.

A prequel to a movie I didn't like that was a spinoff of a sequel that I thought was mildly entertaining? The Mummy 2 shows what Mathayus eventually becomes. The Scorpion King tries to show us that he really was a cool guy before absolute power corrupted him aboslutely. Maybe, instead of doing a prequel showing us events before the events that led to him becoming king, they could have done a sequel and show us how the king went from Tyrant-killing-hero to evil-must-rule-the-world-and-f ix-it-so-I-return-from-the-dea d-as-a-giant-scorpion-with-a-b ad-cgi-face despot.

Will Scorpion King 3 be a prequel to the prequel? "Scorpion King 3 - The Mathayus Chornicles" where a young Mathayus has to avenge his brother who is being picked on by the school bully.

Massive armies, swords, arrows and kung fu, it's really hard to go wrong.

Exploding bunnies and cows are in it too.

I even made it through Jaws:The Revenge if that says anything.

How about movies you rented and couldn't finish?

I almost walked out of Timeline, because it was a free screening and terrible, but my friend wanted to stay so I did.

"Pay attention boy, im cuttin, but you're not bleedin"

"That boy's as strong as an ox, and just as smart too"

I quote Foghorn all the time and no one, I repeat no one understands it. Fred, if you and I worked in the same office we'd be laughing all day.

Smart boy, got a mind like a steel trap - full of mice

The Astronaut's Wife. This one was really painful for some reason. Tried to finish it twice, kept falling asleep.

13 Moons-just wasnt happening.

The Legend of Zorro. Never could finish that one.

A movie from the Cube director called Nothing.

Fast and the Furious.

One example, watched this movie with Tom Berenger & Daphne Zuniga at home. We started making fun of Zuniga's accent and the fact that she couldn't hold it - it seemed so poorly done. But later in the film we found out her character was the one faking the accent. So it made sense.

Last summer I was home, bored, and flipping channels and a movie was just starting so I began to watch. Soon, I knew it was "Employee of the Month" but I continued to watch to see how much I could take. I got about an hour into it before I realized I had just spent an hour watching this movie. But then I decided I had come this far, might as well stick it out to the bitter end. Stupid, stupid, stupid movie with plot holes bigger than Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson and Andy Dick's lack of talent, combined. I got just enough out of it to not consider it a total waste of time.

The same can not be said for "Date Movie". I think this film holds the (lack of) distinction of being the only movie I have ever watched that I thought was a complete, total, absolute waste of my time (and I've seen Gigli!). I had to watch it; I could not believe it was as bad as I had heard. It wasn't - it was worse. I thought I might find a few funny jokes here and there. I didn't. And to make things worse - the supposed jokes, that weren't funny after 3 seconds, were stretched into 3 minute bits. This movie had no purpose. There wasn't a single thing in there that was original. There was no reason for it to be made. I am proud to say I learned my lesson and have steered clear from Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans. I will make sure to go see The Dark Knight again, or maybe Tropic Thunder, when Disaster Movie comes out. Why? To give money to any movie that is not the one by those responsible for the anal abortion that was Date Movie.

That's not your dork. LOOK!

Flame feeding Fred.

The point is, Vern got me interested in looking for the killer pig movie and Ricochet...

And seriously fellas, what's with this "let's talk anything among us three or four guys and just post anything non-stop" thing? Is it the new thing? I don't think it's cool, but hell, I'm not any of you three or four guys so what do I know, right?

Damn I need to rewatch that movie. Forgot how funny it was.

Fred, save me some popcorn. Danny is in fine form today.

If it doesn't sound like this is for you then gladly....FUCK OFF.

There's so many greta moments though. Riddick killing the guy by driving the tea cup into his chest, and the nputting down a paper clip or whatever and everyone running away. Riddick killing the huge Necromonger i nthe beginning: "He was one my best men!" Riddick: "If you say so."

I thought it was actually quite clever and often works really well.

"Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb."

Where do you buy your blank media, is it an online store? I'm in the UK but I don't see any reason why I wouldn't be able to log on to an online US store and send a load of blank media your way. I'd just need a delivery address.

I just wanna thank you properly and I don't know how to.

If there's one title I'd like to see it's Grave Of The Fireflies(?) Danny said it made him cry. If it made Danny cry that's a good enough recommendation for me.

Agreed that if Pitch Black had the production budget of Riddick...Damn that would have been even more impressive.

Indy IV made DannyGlovers cry too - but for a different reason Fred thinks!

Sorry I didn't read your post Jonah Echo, but seriously, you guys flood the TB in a way that it's easy to get lost, with many references to previous conversations and out of the blue subject changes. (Sorry again Danny but that sure feels like an exclusive club).

Anyhoo, my questions have been answered, thanks.

But, it had some impressive fights and sets, and action, that Fred can not dismiss. But it is still inferior to Pitch Black.

Anyway Gilk, see anything good over the weekend?

And precisely, Jonah, that's how I felt when I started pissing you guys off. Maybe not the dog shaving part, I would laugh if you do that cuz my dog looks funny when shaved, I swear.

Hee hee. Fred could not let the thread die without getting to number one - even for a only a little while.

We are like the aliens in ID4, but with better people skills and computers that have better antivirus software protection.

Great film that presents real people with flaws.

This sometimes can make the viewer either relate to what the character is going through or find them at fault.

I like a movie that makes you decide which way you want to go.

ThereWolf, before you go out of your way ordering stuff for me, wait until you get the kit first to see if it's to your liking. Since I'm sending your movies across the pond, it's not something I want to have to do frequently so your kit will be huge and is going to take me about two weeks to complete. If the kit meets your expectations, then you can consider sending me a spindle.

I can't believe how rapidly the posts are adding up onto this talkback. It seems to be seeing a *lot* of activity for one so far down the main page.

My DVD player does DIVX Ultra, if that's any help. Huge, eh? Good job I've got some time off coming up in 2 weeks...

And as far as X3 and Indy IV.....frankly I'm tired of writing about both of them. I do not wish to discuss the many reasons why they both suck ass. But I will say Cyclops character was handled like shit, Professor X was handled like shit, Wolverine was suddenly a big pussy, Angel existed for no fucking reason, Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut, Rogue abandoning her only friends in the world, horribly written dialogue, terrible original score, shitty effects (greenscreen on golden gate bridge scene is unforgivable) sloppy pace. Yeah...there was not one good thing about it. The only good thing about that film was the decision to cast Kelsey Grammar as Beast. But of course....Ratner fucked that character up as well.

I truly enjoyed Xmen. A great intro flick. X-2 upped the ante - big time. Until TDK it was my undisputed favorite comic book movie. Now they are tied. X-3 though, it did not suck. But it felt rushed. It felt flat and like they were going through the motions at times. As bad as Superman Returns is, Singer is the better director. But X3 is the more enjoyable flick.

(Talking about Margaret Dumont as Teasdale) Remember men, we're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did!

A farmer buys several pigs, hoping to breed them for ham, bacon, etc.... After several weeks, he notices that none of the pigs are getting pregnant and calls a vet for help.

The vet tells the farmer that he should try artificial insemination. The farmer doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, he only asks the vet how he will know when the pigs are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and will instead, lay down & wallow in the mud when they are pregnant. The farmer hangs up & gives this some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means that he has to impregnate the pigs.

So, he loads the pigs into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back & goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes & looks out at the pigs. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the truck again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs each pig twice for good measure, brings them back and goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes to find the pigs still just standing around. One more try, he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up & drives them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the pigs and, upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed.

The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look at the pigs. He asks his wife to look out and tell him if the pigs are laying in the mud.

No, she says, they're all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn.

Funny thing about Employee of the Month: it is basically the same movie as Grandma's Boy, another awful movie I had watched just a few days earlier.

I really liked "Grave of the Fireflies". However, due to the way the story is structured, I found the emotional impact of the film to be lessened as a result.

X3 to me was 90 minutes of missed opportunities. They had tremendous good-will thanks to X2 but instead of building on that, they pissed it away with a "let's throw everything at the screen and see what sticks" mish mash of a film. I've been a fan of the X-men and eager to see a movie for over 20 years. The first two, while not perfect, satisfied my X-movie lust. The third was a tease that left me with balls as blue as The Beast.

Didn't like it and I doubt whatever slang terms and nudity that were in the cinema version would have saved it.

Wow, this thing would hit 10,000 posts if he joined in.

I agree with your rule about comparable movies. Snakehead's Revenge and even something more high profile but in the somewhat same genre lke Doom are going to be held to slightly different standards.And certainly that will be true of something like X3. I also disliked it quite a bit, and thought it was a huge letdown. And I wasn't even really looking forward to it, except as an evening of entertainment.

Arch, I agree with your Indy IV comments, though Lucas has ceased to get any praise from me, I think Indy was a fun movie and good enough to earn a place in the series. I'm looking forward to the bluray release in October.

Yes real estate scheme. Sink half the continent, and sell new real estate on a rocky, crystalline, cut your feet too ribbons, kryptonite laced (which surprisingly does not prevent supes from lifting the entire thing into ace even though a shard damn near kils him - but I digress), ugly, dark, green tinged, cave filled continent.

How do these keep getting made? I laughed my ass off when the scorpion was invisible. Like they just ran out of money. And who's idea was it to have Randy Couture as a main character? Let him be a minor character but not one of the stars. Also, they seemed to forget that they were in ancient Egypt with all the modern day wisecracking. It was just BAD. It makes me really appreciate Starship Troopers 3.

Sure enough, the thord finds its way into a small crack in her foot.

She is standing in the path trying to pull it out, when an ant walks by and notices.

"Need any help?" The ant asks.

The elephant realizes the ant is small enough to get the thorn out of her foot and agrees.

The ant climbs under her foot and pulls out the thorn, much to the delight of the elephant.

"What can I do to repay you?" The elephant asks.

The ant thinks for a minute and asks "We'll I've always wanted to make love to an elephant."

The elephant thinks about it for a second and agrees, so the ant climbs up and starts going to town from behind.

About this time a coconut falls from a tree and hits the elephant on the head.

"Ouch!" she calls out.

To which the ant replies "Yeah, that's right, take it all baby!"

Lone Ranger is captured by an Indian Tribe (Native Amurrican). They plan to execute him. But in honor of his past exploits, they grant him three wishes. For first wish, LR walks over to his horse Silver and whispers in his ear. Silver leaves, comes back a few hours later with a beautiful red-head. LR and red head go into tent. Fred think they play tiddly winks all night long, but Fred not know for sure. Next morning, LR whispers into Silvers ear again. Silver goes off and comes back with a beautiful Blond. They go into tent - more tiddly winks -Fred assumes, take place. Finally, the Chief says, 'Lone Ranger ' we have been impressed with your wishes, but you only get one last one, what will it be?' LR slowly walks up to Silver, grabs Silver by the ears and says. 'For the last time, I said Posse!'

Hee hee

Fred apologize if anyone was offended.

First, I'm a little in awe that there is so much love on here for Chronicles of Riddick, and so muh hate for Indy 4 and X3. I personally consider all of them to be in equal ranges of suck. Depending on your personal history with the material, it could be worse or better. For example, X3 was definitely just as stupid and hollow as the other two, but if you're a fan of the comic (like me) it gets a lot worse. Cyclops, who has really been the soul and backbone of the team since the comic's beginning, was handled in an absolutely atrocious manner. I personally believe he represents the greatest of the X-men, so the fact that he was killed so early in the film just makes me feel like the filmmakers did not understand the material. Which really pisses me off. Frankly, I'm sick of Hollywood trying to make these movies using people who really don't understand the story, and are just out for a paycheck. So as an X-fan, the movie is really just awful and disappointing from every angle, with the exception of Beast. He just needed a little more screen time and I would have been happy (my favorite x-man along with Nightcrawler). From a cinematic point however, I feel the film is less flawed, and really stands as an average summer movie, maybe a bit below average. Overall, the movie is really a mess and doesn't even deserve more discussion when there is so much more thought provoking cinema out there.

Chronicles of Riddick is equally as stupid. Another example of style over substance and a sequel that fails before its predecessor. It had its moments, like the death by tin cup, but still ultimately failed for me. Somebody mentioned it would have been cool if the prequels had been more along the tone of the Riddick movie. I disagree completely. In fact, I think some of the problems plaguing the prequels in comparison to the original SW trilogy, can be addressed with the Riddick sequel. Made on a much higher budget, on a much grander scale, the Riddick movie lost much of the heart and soul of Pitch Black. Filmmakers no longer worried as much about creating mood or atmosphere with dialogue or subtle character studies. It was a lot easier to just have a giant CG ship flying through the shot and have everybody zipping around on wires around the sets. Which is exactly the problems the sequels had. Most of the original movies' spirit was buried underneath all these fancy effects and shiny objects.

Indy has the same problem, but really isn't as bad as most people on here make it out to be. It is the weakest of the series, sure, but that's really not saying much, since all of them are fun and entertaining in their own way. Shia, who was a worry for me prior to seeing the movie, really ended up being one of my favorite parts, with the exception of the vine swinging and the cactus nut-bashing. But those moments weren't bad because of Shia. I really doubt those mometents were his idea. I blame the Beard and the Neck for the stupid stuff. The stupid stuff, something present in every Indy movie in my opinion, and something that also adds to their charm. They are all goofy adventure movies with heart and lots of fun moments. KOTCS is the worst because it just makes the same mistake the prequels did, abandoning character study and plot for scale and style. Instead of watching more little moments like Indy with his Dad, or Short Round, or a tense fistfight with an enormour Nazi mehcanic, Indy is falling over countless waterfalls and watching UFOs fly around. None of those things will draw the audience to sympathize with a character, and none of them really do much to further the quality of the films.

This was a little ranting, and I know there probably a couple of parts that are hard to understand, or filled with run-on sentences but I felt like charing my thoughts with everybody.

There is nothing more heartfelt in those two films then the, "Are you with me Jack?" scene. Vin looks like he just watched his puppy get run over. Very very touching performance.

Plainview Rising. nice. i like. also i used to NOT like slow zombie, i thought the idea was dumb. now i do like slow zombies. i get it now. I thought the 28 movies were good, really like the new dawn, and i went out and bought a copy of sean. I do like the fact that the people are usually more evil than the mosters, and romero's stuff is just brilliant. anyway i don't have the same dislike of fast zombies as you guys have

Off they go and Billy comes back first with ten passion fruits. The King says "If you can insert all ten into your anus without laughing, I let you go free." Billy gives it a go, gets to 3 and starts to giggle helplessly. They chop his head off and throw him in the pot.

Bobby comes back next with 10 red berries. The King says "If you can insert all ten berries into your anus, I set you free." So Bobby gives it a go. He gets to 9, but just as he starts pushing in number 10 he starts laughing. They chop his head off and throw him in the pot.

Bobby gets to Heaven and Billy's waiting for him. "I don't believe it You had it done, man. Why'd you start laughing?"

Bobby says "I just looked up and saw Johnny coming back with an armful of pineapples."

He sort of likes being looked up to by the little girl.

He allows the girl and the priest a ride off the planet (great closing shot of the asteriod field).

A lot of comic book movies are tedious because they spend so much time working on the origins of the hero. It's become sort of formulaic in my opinion. It's why so many comic book sequels are so great. They can jump right into the fun and just share more adventures with the character. There are lots of movies that just jump right into the action without even bothering with sharing how the protagonist got where they are. Origin stories aren't as neccessary as I believe everybody thinks they are, especially not for someone as universally known as Superman. Take Han Solo for example, one of the best heroes in movie history, and most people don't know Jack about his past unless they dig through a shitload of expanded universe stories.

Remember, he went into the crystal chamber and gave up his kryptonianess to be a human.

So be it.

Xiphos_2: Thanks, good point. Maybe I'll even go so far as to be bold.

And in the spirit of joke telling, I will now pass on the only joke I can every remember: "A Budhist walks up to a hot dog vendor and says Make Me One with Everything."

Criticizing a movie for failing to be another movie entirely instead of addressing the problems within the film itself usually is not a good way to judge a film. That being said, I do agree that Superman Returns was a miss. Are we ever gonna get a movie with Supes versus Bizarro? How much fucking fun would that be? I want a balls to the wall superfight complete with smashing buildings and creative airborne combat.

I still think the kid having powers is a suck hole of a plot point. I'll stand by that one.

DGDB your post at 04:27:56 PM is what I was trying to get out but failed miserably in saying. Thanks for picking a Lame-O up.

hours later the boy has forgotten all about it when his father storms in. 'boy, did you chop down the thunderbox?' 'no" the kid says.

'let me tell you a story. when george washington was your age he got an axe for his birthday and the first thing that he did was chop down the old cherry tree outside. when his father asked him if he had done it, he said - father, i cannot tell a lie. and because he told the truth, he wasn't punished'.

'now' the boys father says 'son, did you chop down the thunderbox?''father, i cannot tell a lie.' and with that the boy's father picks him up by the arm, and thrashes the shit out of him. in tears the boy says 'but george washington didn't get a thrashing' 'yes' the boys father says, 'but george washington's father wasn't in the cherry tree.'

Am I wrong again? I do tend to ride roughshod over subtext. I haven't been to college either.

Old WW2 song. Altogether now...

If I'd gone to see AVP:R at the cinema I wouldn't just have walked out, I would have tried to dismantle the projection booth on the way.

To the tune of 'Colonel Bogey' I believe. Don't ask me to hum it.

'sung along'?? That doesn't sound right.

"Help who?"

"The bombardier."

"I'm the bombardier."

Sorry, Mavra. I'm tired and I just panicked when I thought there were crossed-wires (looks sheepishly at his feet).

Great. I can go to bed now knowing that Hitler's balls are in very good hands.

Goodnight!

"He can only be seen when he isn't there to be seen. When he's there, you can't see him." Probably twisted that quote.

Can I suggest excercise so you don't end up like Harry or volunteer work.

Already told my fiancee (Japanese) that if we have a boy he will be named Musashi, she seemed much more ok with that than me wearing a katana during our Japanese wedding.

I agree, there are probably plenty of good books coming from "here" I am sure, wherever that may be (there are lots of Australians and British that frequent this site as well so I won't make any assumptions on that matter, unlike your gender), but don't let that be a reason to not explore literature from other cultures. There is some good shit out there. Trust me.

Thank you for making it all clear to me diox.

ON FIRE!!!!!

1.) American authors are more than capable of the questionable statements you have claimed pertain only to "foreign" and "japo" authors.

And 2.) No matter the subject, if the author is of a high caliber, he or she is more than capable of producing a compelling intelligent story.

I'll try to resist wasting any more energy addressing your ungrounded and idiotic claims. Mainly because I'm pretty sure you're just writing that crap to get a rise out of people and don't really mean anything you are saying. Nobody can really be as ignorant and close minded as you are pretending to be.

Still waiting for that intelligent retort.

Am sure your fellow Americans are proud to have you as one of their fellow countrymen.

And Generation Kill is American by the way, full of Americans, based on a book by an American.

Why the hell are you still on this TB baby? Didn't my big words and logic scare you? Are you not frightened of my experience in foreign literature and culture? Haven't you realized I am much more prepared to provide an intelligent argument than you without even having to rely on phrases like "they suck and stink of failure."

You have yet to site a single reliable piece of evidence for your claims. At least I have pointed out one American author who has the same qualities you sited as the faults of many foreign authors. But did you come back with an example to counter? Nope. With you it's always "this French guy" this or "that pedophile" that.

I asked for a retort jackass. That's when you reply back to me, hopefully in a witty or biting manner. At least make me laugh. Instead, you came back at me with a confused question and offered more repetition of the same idiotic rantings. I want a clear example for your claims, and I would love it if you actually addressed the points I made against your claims. And while you're at it, make papa a sandwich.

Move it along people. This bitch just got pwned.

"Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck maybe somebody's mother, she lives all alone in a swamp, where it's very cold and damp, well you may think that this is the end, well it is..."

Also circa WW2. Don't recall the name of the tune but it's well known.

Sorry, Fred.

Have a better one.

Off to bed then. Toodles folks.

I thought it was a great heist flick. It also had one of the most satisfying beatdowns in ages when The Stath put teh pwn on the porn king and Craig Fairbrass.

Furthermore, when was the last time anyone heard Peter Bowles say "fuck"?

When are they gonna give him his own spinoff already?

I posted a link up above for a nifty video that some Star Wars fans with too much time on their hands created. So I suggest you check it out to be amazed: http://tinyurl.com/5rpxuv

Ho w goes it DocP? I watched the Bank Job late at night and I was fighting to keep my eyes open. So after replaying it in my head for a week it kept getting better. It is indeed a solid film.

Between this and Mongol, the other big epic I saw this year, I think I slightly prefer Mongol but this was well worth the watch, and I'm looking forward to having a movie night at my house soon where we show it, perhaps back to back with Daisy.

Two more films on the roster. Between Running Wild and Bloody Tie, which do you recommend?

Also, I said this yesterday but in regards to the next shipment, send me everything. That way I can have some movie nights and invite several people and spread the HOD gospel of asian film a little further.

Wizard of Gore with Crispin Glover?

Don Quixote, began by one of the greatest directors and finished by one of the worst?

A Steve McQueen movie I'd never heard of, and then Harry suggesting people actually watch "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2"?

I'll throw out Lean on Me with MoFrees in it.

You'll get everything in your batch, believe me.

Favorite teaching movie? The Substitute, baby! I remember thinking Stand and Deliver was great, got many a laugh out of Summer School and bought into the schmaltzy nonsense of Mr. Holland's Opus.

O.K., Hod, I'll check out Bloody Tie. I'll probably play it on the computer tonight while Im writing.

Chipps,yea, the idea of showing Temujin as a doting and faithful husband is an odd choice, especially given the promiscuity thing you spoke of, but it's that relationship angle that actually elevates the movie above just another Conan take-off or faux historical battle epic.

Don't forget Class of 1999 wherein the teachers were cyborgs who eventually declared war against the students.

So is the summer movie release season officially over?

For me it's been a great summer watching foreign films. It looks like 2008 is going to go down as one of the best years ever for film.

But guess what? I will have to wait for DVD, as we do not get small release movies, just the wide releases.

Bummer.

I'm only down 10-7 right?

I was jumping back and forth to the article about Great White being anchored out to sea by Universal.

You know me and creature features, I had to check that story out.

Anybody seen it?

Burn After Reading

Appaloosa

What Just Happened

Miracle at St. Anna

Max Payne

Body of Lies

RockNRolla

The Brothers Bloom

Quantum of Solace

Nobel Son

And then I think after that we're into the winter.

Also, lets not forget the bleak sci-fi Blindness. I'm up for that too.

And The Duchess, with Kiera Knightley, who I think is good enough, she could be relegated to period films forever and do great work there.

Heck, Im even sort of interested in Ghost Town.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist looks interesting. As does Passengers, which is the only movie currently on the fall roster that looks like a competent creepy film. Where are the horror movies?

And don't say Quarrantine or Saw V. I already saw Rec. and never made it past the first Saw.

Here is the mission for this TB. Find out what happened to Trick R' Treat. Anyone remember this? If you don't search the site, youtube the trailer, or pull out your 300 dvds and watch the previews. This looks like the perfect Halloween pic, and it was supposed to be released last Halloween. WHERE. IS. IT?

There is Eastwood's The Changeling but I'm waiting to hear more.Same for Synechdoche, NY

Australia and The Soloist also look intriguing.

Also in the Great White talkback someone mentioned rumblings of a Jaws remake?

Dear God, had anyone else heard of this?

The site is also a great way to keep up with films that fly under the radar.

Sort of like the tripods in War of the Worlds.

Only with an extra leg and better stomping ability.

Cruise get your running shoes ready.

I was about to dispatch Ninja Fred for mission to Hollywood.

I always enjoyed that movie for some reason.

Good schlock indeed!

End of the movie is both men have enough of her condecending attitude and toss her into big sharks mouth.

Jane and LL detonate her with leftover car battery and jumper cables.

I haven't seen a smackdown like this since Tony Jaa ascended a staircase.

Turns out the hybrids were going to be used for war, but were thrown out.

Book was at least better than movie.

But the best adaptation so far was The Beast about the giant squid.

Pretty damn decent for a TV movie.

Enjoyed both times.

I kind of like the idea of gaint killer squid.

It was something different for a change.

Talk about an interesting election. We have a two candidates at opposite ends of the age spectrum who will end up choosing running mates that are much younger/older to balance the ticket out.

But I guess any creature added to almost any movie would achieve the same results.

Sort of like Orca.

If I was baby creature in film I would be nervous.

I would like to see how a grizzled bunch of fishermen would handle the beast.

Instead of trying to study it or worry about why it was there, they would be figuring out 100 ways to fuck it up.

I have never rooted harder for a creature than the shark in Jaws 2 to eat that girl that just sat there and screamed (you know sparrow tits.)

I also rooted very hard for the monster in Cloverfield.

I gotta go with recordings/flashbacks that use the exact same movie footage we saw earlier.

Nothing is worse than security camera footage that shows us the scene we saw earlier not from a security camera viewpoint but from the actual camera.

And then when a character is remembering a conversation they had earlier and we get the exact same footage except it's either black and white or washed out. unless you have a photographic memory you won't remember the conversation word for word or how the room looked or even what the person was wearing. For me it would be refreshing to see a memory sequence where things were a little off than what they actually were.

After I wrote it I ended up seeing two things that were slightly similar to the last part-one wasn aold Outer Limits episode called Tourist Trap, and the other was a fim with Rhada Mitchell called Visitors.

I accept them in action movies where the hero has to build something and we see quick cuts but to show us character development without actually showing us the details is lazy writing.

And I love the map tap mention. No director is above using it.

Overall the movie wasn't as good as the first one, but it sure had its moments of fun.

I hereby proclaim I will not bring it up in a TB again.

But like all Spielberg movies that miss the mark, it has a scene or two for the time capsule and the T-Rex attack on the trailer was almost as good as the attack from the first one.

Never fails that the car in the chase is visibly different from the car rolling end over end in the crash.

Sure most people may not notice, but I do.

Also when a slow motion shot of a car lands from a huge jump, you can see fenders and suspension damage, but the car drives on in the next take.

Why show the damage if you are going to show the car complete a split second later?

But the very next cut back from Pitt and Freeman has the steering wheel straight again.

I always notice those things and wonder why they can't in post-production.

My fave crappy readout was in Mission to Mars when Connie Neilson actually looks at her oxygen readout and it starts flashing the words "POINT OF NO RETURN."

Also notice when he walks up to the bar and is flashing the stats of the vehicles he is looking at.

It says Chrysler for the car and it is clearly a Ford LTD.

Little things like that bug me, as they are small details that would have cost nothing to simply get right in the first place.

Imagine what he could do with that.

The book even has a dinosaur and shark encounter at the first.

Worst offender recently: a movie I adored with this one exception-Dan in Real Life. He should have eloped with Juliette Binoche and left those daughters behind. Seriously, what child actually says "We so prefer her to YOU."

And what's with all the fat schlubs who have smokin' hot wives? When does this ever happen?

That's when I know to give "The Tap", which is the signal for dismount for whatever girl I was with.

But you are right, as the pointing of the toes and tingling is more a guideline and not an exact point of reference for potential impregnation.

Digital readout would be more precise and give very valuable added seconds of orgasmic pleasure.

Predator did this well back in the 80s, by presenting some new tough as nails guy every few minutes and then having the Predator cut through him like hot butter. I liked that, but since then we always get this tough character introduced, and we all root for him, but he gets taken out five minutes or so after being introduced.

Good brief use of interesting side character in horror/advenure: the old fighter pilot in Mummy. He has maybe ten minutes of screentime, but he is utilized well, and his final moments actually fulfill his back story. Nicely done there.

Also when T-Rex blows breath at Neil and Lex when they are by the overturned Explorer. It blows from below to knock his hat off and the T-Rex is above them looking down.

I always hate that part.

I remember seeing the kid at the computer in Big playing the ice cavern game thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

I did, however, enjoy a scene in the previously mentioned Lost World where that Robert Bakker clone was hiding in the waterfall from the t rex, saw the coral snake on his shirt and freaked out, getting eaten.

Jeremy Irons didn't get a proper send off in DH3.

Love that scene and the background info Speilberg and Ford discussed about it.

Knowing the Crown Vic would not be able to keep up in terms of speed or handling around corners.

Also, when the hero comes after villain he just suddenly has a family member in his hands, with no previous explanation, like he pulled them out of his pants or something.

Girl crashes into tree and is thrown forward through the windshield and lands in front of the car!

Trust me, you don't just fly through safety glass like that.

Classic.

Of course we were all drunk and having a very good time.

That movie goes good with beer snuck into a theater.

FBI lady said it was a chance they were willing to take.

Ha!

Wasn't long until we started screwing her in the hallway that led to the alley beside the theater.

You didn't even have to take her as a date. She would be there with a friend and all you had to do was talk to her and flirt.

I nailed her during The Golden Child and when I told my friends about it Sunday afternoon, one them had screwed her too during the same movie on the same night.

Her dad also showed up at a party one night a year or two later at the Fairgrounds and knocked a guy out with one shot!

She was awesome and her dad was like the guy Indy fought under the plane in Raiders.

She also went to my church.

Another guy moved to our town a few years later and admitted he was a virgin to us.

So we quickly set him up with her as good friends would do.

We came and picked him up later that night as he snuck out of her house.

He said they were both naked on the bed and she grabbed his buttocks and slammed him in.

He had a tear in his eye and we asked what happened.

He said he wanted his first time to be special and she ruined it for him by being all aggressive!

Holy Shit we laughed for WEEKS about that!

I'm just glad Stormin' Norman didn't catch him, as he would have had more than just tears coming from his eyes.

He and I guess his brothers and sisters were playing in the little grass median in the parking lot.

All of a sudden he drops his daiper and takes a dump crouched down like a dog, finishes and pulls his daiper up and keeps running and playing.

This was when I was a kid and I still remember it crystal clear.

My wife and I and a friend saw Deep Blue. We were almost the only people in the theater save for a group ofpeople that just kept wandering in and leaving, and not the same group, but a whole host of random visitors. One elderly lady wandered in halfway through, fell asleep, and then woke up when the scene playing was a school of shrimp. The lady looks up and yells at the screen "SCRIMPS! WHY ARE THERE SCRIMPS ON THE SCREEN!" and clearly enraged, storms out of the theater. She was one of about five people that just dropped in during the course of the movie. I think she was the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Well, almost nothing.

A friend and I got ten sheets to the wind one night and decided to see a movie. So we picked up a bottle of Goldschlager and went to see The Phantom Menace the week before it left the theater. We finished the bottle before the pod race scene and then spent the rest of the movie roaming around the theater throwing up in just about every aisle. Thankfully, the theater was empty.

Never so drunk in my life. I don't even remember leaving. Just waking up the next morning in the middle of my living room floor.

It seems this group has a limitless supply of topics.

All the girls would start screaming and jumping around.

So yes, we naturally took them to the theater and I guess it was the darkness that made them sing.

So you could see people in front of us and around start picking up their legs and looking around.

But nobody left and nobody complained even when they were singing.

Stand By Me was the movie, so maybe the audience thought it was coming from the movie or something.

We also did the same thing with birds, as we had a live trap and could catch small sparrows or Robins and sneak them in with a brown paper sack.

That would get people moving, as the bird would fly around finally heading up into the space above the theater.

It was even funnier when we sent them down the hall at school, as you could hear the screams following the bird down the hall. Damn I wish I was a kid again.

The bar was melted, and I put the batteries ontop of the clear cassette and covered them in the brown chocolate. When it hardened, it looked like nothing so much as a large turd. And the cassette top allowed us to easily slip it off and on the armrest of the theater seats.. We watched person after person stare at it, back away from it,etc. until finally one guy sits down almost on top of it, and starts looking at it, and then playing with it, eventually discovering the ruse.

You don't have to serve to be patriotic. A lot of vets down at the VA could use some company and an open ear. Vets are the greatest Americans you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting.

It was no classic mind you, but it entertained.

Like the idea of a house floating in space.

You could drink beer on the front porch and whizz into space and watch it float away.

R. Lee Ermey is a god.

"To know the man is to smell the man's flop sweat." hahahahaha.....

You log on here and hurl insults at IMAGINARY PEOPLE that probably all have Roald Dahl like characteristics, and then you get titillated by the IMAGINED responses these IMAGINARY people have. I am quite serious, and not trying to slag you. I think you need some help. Whether you are a 30 something soccer mom doing this to vent after her kids tore the house apart, or you are the school football team logging onto the libraries' computer, or if you are Judd Apatow himself, you might want to actually think about what you are doing. I feel legitimately sad for you.

I wished I grew up in bigger town, as we were the ones others are probably telling stories about as far as pranks.

2) Typed "penguin", hit Enter

3) Read Danny's post

4) LOLMAO

5) Slurped cum off an ugly fat cock

(5 is for egg salad)

Lucky that guy wasn't in the theater I saw it in. He probably would have gotten jumped by the lovely gang sitting near the front.

That shit will kick you in the balls and laugh in your face.

If you gave Dirk a drop of Everclear he would turn into the Cloverfield monster within the hour.

And be twice as likely to pee, vomit and tell everyone how much he loves them in a drunken display.

Our dumbasses got a bottle one night and started riding in a huge field covered in snow (It was one of four snows I remember in my lifetime here) and we started taking shots.

It was about the third round that I started buzzing and immediatly went into drunk mode in a violent transition just a few shots later.

We thought we had run out of gas, but we were in about 12 inches of mud just spinning our wheels.

You can finish a bottle and put it in a dark room.

Then place a lighter need the open end and it will light up the room.

Then put one bottle of Everclear in.

It would get an entire crowd drunk.

But beware mixing sweet drinks with alcohol as the hangover is brutal.

I git fdrunk on Hurricanes in New Orleans and my head was stapled to the mattress the next day.

Take out space of course

"Bro, what happened?"

"Nothin'. Just had to get something off my chest. Chillaxin now."

"We/you don't know exactly what we're/you're dealing with here."

I think it's a studio stipulation that this be the first line written in any script.

Damn that penguin keeps repeating on me.

and remember back in the day you used to sit around drinking with your mates and say, just once, just once i would like to see the invincible van damm character die in one of the first scene. then along came executive decision and deep blue sea. I read the Segal practically refused to do that scene.

But you don't need a Seagal when you've got the mighty Kurt.
