The term "galpal" was created in the 19th century, when French aristocrats tried to think of a nicer way of saying "sex giver".

 

And now I have to watch Miss Congeniality, ya know, for the boobs.

 

Boobies for teh win!

No no silly Drafette the boobies are in 'Waking The Dead'. Not the crappy Sandra Bullock flick.

Woot! No crappy Sandra Bullock flicks for teh win!

Your mental health thanks me, Draken.

watched Red Eye. it wasn't as bad as the movie critics claimed it was. but it wasn't the best movie either. worth watching i guess.

especially the home-cooked trachiotomy ; )

Good. As if my mental health hasn't dealt with enough already!

 

This just in!

Red Eye: Crap

Hustle & Flow: Not crap

 

Stay tuned for more at eleven.

Predator 1: Awesome!

I liked predator 2 better actually.

Predator is the best. It's got Arnie

I liked predator 2 better actually.

 

Heathen!

It's got Danny Glover, Jamaican human-sacrificing gangsters and better chase sequences. Beat that with a stick.

Not to mention a quick reference to Alien.

Too true. Seeing Predator was one of my best movie memories, having going being total happenstance.

Although you will not hear me argue the fact that the first Predator owns, the second one should get it's due points for not having Danny Glover saying 'Riggs! Riggs!'. I was going to say ' I'm getting too old for this sith' as well, but I'm not sure if he uses that in P2. Either way it also features Gary Busey. Who was also in one of the Lethal Weapon movies. Coincidence? Hmmmm.......

I saw a Gary Busey movie the other day Rough Draft

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120039/

It also has the guy form the Mummy in it: Andrew Vosloo.

 

This movie is bad, but laughably bad, maybe not in the league as Ed Wood, but never the less funny

Gary likes to follow the pills and hookers more than quality acting roles nowadays, I'm afraid. They keep showing this waste of an hour and a half movie called "Frost, Portrait Of A Vampire' on one of my movie networks and it is one of the worst excuses of a movie I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of crap movies.

Rockey 1-5 and I can't wait for 6 in febuary of next year!

Not to mention a quick reference to Alien.

And for 10 long years we waited... For a disapoinment nearly comparable to Alien 4.

 

All my boyhood dreams shattered with those two releases. What utter manure.

 

Why can noone make a decent sci fi anymore.

i think it's because they hate us. <_<

Watched Red Eye last night. What a total POS. I smashed my DVD player to teach it a lesson for showing it to me.

Aliens. I love this movie and it's enticing soundtrack.

how many movies can put that kinda ache in a man's chest?

 

the reason why filmmakers keep making king kong is 'cause it managed to reach those producers or directors on an emotional level as few other films has. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Amen.

 

Kong ain't Shakespeare but for sci-fi he's epic tragedy.

 

I was about 10 when I saw the original, and it was one of the first films I wholly connected with--the first ending that filled me with an irrational yet persistent sense of loss. Since then I've seen tragic heroes in better films (Depardieu's bunny-raising brute in "Jean De Florette"), and my throat has grown lumpy watching sentimental apes (I rooted for the love struck Gill-Man), but Kong remains for me the most fantastic of doomed kings.

 

I liked Jackson's version. Editing warts and all. It wasn't the best film of 2005, but I was entertained. Once again, I was a 10-year old at the circus, and it was a three-ring visual feast. Sometimes that's enough.

 

 

 

Edit: it occurs to me that my Depardieu reference is misleading. It's not horror or sci-fi. Depardieu portrays a hunchback, yes, but he's not a necessarily a monster. (Although the villagers think his hump is a curse.)

 

And re: the Gill-Man...Dr. Frankenstein's monster is more poignant and Quasimodo's more heroic, but as remakes go the Creature is ever so timely: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485799/

Transporter 2

The Shop Around The Corner. Classic romantic comedy. Great.

Last in theater : King Kong

Last on DVD : Serenity for the 4th time since 25 dec

 

Oh and I also saw Bloodrayne. Immense pile of bantha poodoo, except for Kristanna Loken who is ok, plus a nice scene involving metal bars and her boobs.
