A good movie it is. It seems to appear you have a Serenity fetish lately.

I've been waiting to see it again since it left the cinemas ... stupid Hollywood producers and their segmented markets ... :angry:

It's been out on DVD for quite some time.

It was released today in Britain. I had a copy on pre-order. (Won BEST FILM from he audience of Johnathan Ross's Film 2005.)

A friend got us into a semi-advance screening of 16 blocks tonight. I had never heard of the movie and was somewhat dumbfounded when one of my friends started describing it as probaly being Die-Hard IIIish with crooked cops in the cab ride to the theater.

 

This movie really started to eat at me the first time Mos Def opened his mouth and proceded to get worse and worse. This was only the 2nd time I've walked out on a movie (Any Given Sunday) but luckily there are several bars within walking distance of the theater.

Bridge on the River Kwai. Sir Alec Guiness and ensemble cast produce a complex (who said old films were simple?) and totally convincing experience. try as hard as I might, I couldn't see their acting and was enchanted by their performances.

It's really a toss between Andrey Rublyov, Smultronst

Saw Descent on pay-per-view last night. A couple of good jumps, and some chunky rotting flesh. Nice.

Coolness. Hope you enjoyed it.

I watched Walk The Line last night. Now my copies of Waterworld and the Warriors will have some company on the DVD shelf. It wasn't a bad film.

Watched it twice through. Thinking about watching it again, now ...

Excellent, excellent movie. I just saw it not too long ago myself.

Just tried to watch Sir Alec as an Arab in in Laurence of Arabia, before my video player died after an hour on the first disc ...

Sir Alec = good!

Did you know that GL had to give him a % of the profits in order to get him to play Obi-Wan in SW? (And it was his idea to kill off the character in the first film so that he didn't have to say any more of the dialogue?) )

I hadn't heard of the % of the profits. Though I did hear he did not enjoy making the film. However, I also heard that he was the consummate professional, and never complained or anything.

I thought it was a % of the profits from sales of merchandise.

I think a few of them got a percentage instead of a full salary for Star Wars, I know Princess Leia did so. The reason was the budget was pretty maxed out for Star Wars, and there was no gaurantee it would be successful. It was a major gamble to take a percentage over a paycheck, but it paid off huge.

Yeah, he got a slice of everything iirc. Ended up being able to buy the village he lived in, and the county, too. Didn't bother him, though, he still drank at the same little pub with all his village friends (I don't know what he did with the moolah).

Adaptation

Videodrome

The X-Files movie.

I watched Walk The Line last night.  Now my copies of Waterworld and the Warriors will have some company on the DVD shelf.  It wasn't a bad film.

Waterworld?

That's for the other movie thread.

(I bet he's a Kevin Costner fan ...)
