julianw Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Stealth. God, it sucked! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The producers reedited the whole film just to give Jamie Fox more onscreen time (since he was all of a sudden becoming king of the world.) The original version might have been slightly more interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Moth Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Pity. I was planning on seeing it. BTW, has anyone here seen Saw 2? I've heard some say it was better than the first, others it's complete crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I enjoyed Saw 2. Certainly feel bad for some characters And I really enjoyed Collateral too. Tom Cruise as a bad guy was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draken Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The only good thing about Stealth was the line, "I will blast you right out the sky!" In became so awesome that I was stating it on a daily basis. "Hey, can you help me out by moving those boxes?" "I will blast you right out the sky!" And Saw II sucked my wang. I mean, I guessed the plot twist twenty minutes in. But the clown doll scared the hell out of me again.

alanschu Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I guessed the twist too. If you haven't seen the first one though, it'd be much harder to predict though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draken Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 That's true. Heh, when I first watched Saw I I was totally expecting it to be a dumb gory slasher flick, so I didn't expect a plot twist or anything of the like. So, when the twist actually happened, I was totally caught off guard. That was the sole redeeming feature of Saw.

LadyCrimson Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) The Thing About My Folks 5/10 - Seeing Peter Falk's naked chest and watching him sprinkle baby powder all over himself has traumatized me. When I watched Saw2 - the acting was pretty bad, the plot was bad, the first one was a lot better. Edited March 14, 2006 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

metadigital Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 the original is a GREAT film ... because it doesn't have an artificial chase mechanism and it has Lord Richard Attenborough and Jimmy Stewart giving some absolutely delicious character acting (the point of the story in general). Just watched Apollo 13. Love it. Going to watch the digitally remastered Spartacus next.

LadyCrimson Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Jarhead...I had to buy it because they've been rented out for days. It was nothing like I was expecting...not the best war movie in the world but plenty to like, good quality filmmaking/acting. 6.5/10 “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Er...my numbers aren't like school grade numbers. If it's an 8/10 or more, it's a 'must at least check it out for yourself'. The junk or 'only a few select people might like this' is 0-3.5 or so. Everything else falls inbetween. “Things are as they are.

Baley Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hiroshima mon amour Overly pretentious ****, beautifully shot, I'm really starting to hate the French "New Wave". Jin Roh "Only in the tales that humans tell, do the hunters kill the wolves in the end" Once upon a time there was a little girl who hadn't seen her mother in seven years.Her mother had dressed her in iron clothes, saying "When you wear out these clothes you may come to me," The little girl rubbed her clothes on the wall trying to tear them Finally she did. She got some milk and bread and a little cheese and butter and set out for her mother's house. In the woods she met a wolf. He asked her what she was carrying. "Milk and bread, and a little cheese and butter," she answered. The wolf asked for some, but the girl said no, it was a present for her mother. The wolf asked whether she would take the path of pins or the path of needles. The girl said the path of pins so the wolf hurried off down the path of needles and ate up the little girl's mother. Finally the little girl reached her mother's house. "Mother, unbar the door!" "Just push on it. It's not locked" answered the wolf. "Just push on it. It's not locked" the wolf answered. But the door still wouldn't open, so then she crept in through a hole. "Mother, I'm hungry." "There's meat in the cupboard. Eat some." It was the flesh of her mother, killed by the wolf. A big cat jumped up on the cupboard and said "That's your mother's flesh you're eating." Mother, there's a cat on the cupboard "It says I'm eating your flesh."' It's lying, of course. "Throw a wooden shoe at it." The little girl, having eaten the meat, was thirsty. "Mother, I'm thirsty."' "Drink some wine from the jar." When she did so, a little bird perched on the chimney. That's your mother's blood you're drinking. "You're drinking your mother's blood, you know." "Mother, a little bird on the chimney says I'm drinking your blood." "Throw your cloak at it." Having eaten the meat and drunk the blood the little girl turned to her mother and said "Mother, I don't know why, but I'm very sleepy." "Come over here and rest." The girl undressed and approached the bed where her mother lay in a strange position with a hood pulled over her face. "Mother, what big ears you have." "All the better to hear you with, my dear." "Mother, what big eyes you have." "All the better to see you with, my dear." "Mother, what big claws you have." "All the better to catch you with, my dear." "Mother, what big teeth you have." The girl undressed and approached the bed where her mother lay in a strange position with a hood pulled over her face. "Mother, what big ears you have," "Mother, what big eyes you have." "Mother, what big claws you have." "Mother, what big teeth you have!" And then the wolf ate up Little Red Riding Hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
