Baley Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Reckon some of you would enjoy this: Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe - YouTube. Imdb Plot Summary: A film exactly described by its title. German film director Herzog had made a bet with fledgling director Errol Morris that, if Morris made a film, Herzog would eat his shoe. Morris went on to film 'Gates of Heaven', so Herzog kept his promise. While eating the boiled shoe, Herzog carries on a dialogue with the film premier audience on film, art, and life.

Pure ART. Personally, I just watched Ray. Man, Ray Charles is the least sympathetic blind character ever. I did not enjoy because he was pretty much a dingo throughout the entire film and since I had the foreknowledge that his career did, in fact, not fail, I pretty much spent the entire film being annoyed at life's injustice. Jamie Fox played it well, though.
Cantousent Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Pixies directed me to the real movie thread. :Eldar's giving pixies a bemused smile icon: So, my wife forced some sort of Loony Toons w/Brendan Frazier movie on me. Then I made her watch Millers Crossing. Finally, we ended with the Quiet American.

Pidesco Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 That Looney Toons thing is a Joe Dante movie, isn't it? Also, the other ones were pretty great choices.

Cantousent Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I don't know about the Loony Toons movie. I mostly played Hitman while she watched it. Thank goodness for good headphones. Millers Crossing is one of my favorite movies. I've introduced my wife to some real classics. What a deprived child. She hadn't seen Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, or Groundhog Day if it weren't for me.

astr0creep Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Torque. A horrible movie. Horrible, horrible, horrible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I worked on a game for that movie. It was cancelled due to crappage but apparently the game project was a go because Torque is one the top 100 money makers of all time... No kidding... http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Surreptishus Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Saw Superman 1 and 2 this week on TV. (Still waiting for "Returns" <_< ) Lots of flaws in the second one. I suppose being aware of behind the scenes turmoil makes them more evident. I really hate Margot Kidder as Lois Lane. Looking at her drug addled features and listening to her scratchy voice is irritating. Even the ridiculous soft focus didn't help. Clark Kent was achump to fall for that Lois Lane.
Hurlshort Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 I just watched "Grandma's Boy" Now I must admit, I went in expecting very little. I thought it might be worth a few laughs. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It was like a Cheech and Chong movie for gamers. The whole plot revolves around a group of game testers. It was fairly realistic, although the game testers were treated way better than they are in reality. It wasn't that far from the mark in many ways. I'll go ahead and recommend it to any gamers out there. Don't go in expecting high art, but it is worth a few laughs.
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Grandma's Boy was almost as bad as House Party 4. Take that as you will. And it's no movie, but I watched Scrubs Season 1, and the comedy gold ensued! I highly recommend it. And I want to see that Werner Herzog movie now.

OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 XxX: State of the Union was bad too. Ice Cube sucks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Or more like... I suck Ice Cubes! Come in a yay haw!
Krookie Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Har, har, har. Oh he was bad in "Are We There Yet" too. I watched Windtalkers today. It was the most unrealistic war movie I have ever seen. Ever.
Krookie Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Nicholas Cage didn't reload his gun the entire movie. I mean, c'mon. COMMON.
chris the jedi killer Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 I've been waching my friday the 13th dvd's :D A coward dies a thousand deaths but a soulja dies one~ 2Pac

LadyCrimson Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Once Upon A Time In The West Ahhh...that's a classic. I really miss westerns like those. “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
Musopticon? Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Crash. It bugs me that the only person who consistently showed character throughout the movie was the locksmith. The politician was sleazy, the movie producer didn't have any balls, and then when he did he went all f**king crazy about it, the rookie cop, while seeming to have a change of heart during the middle there was still a goddamn coward when the sh!t hit the fan. Hell, I ended up liking the carjacker better'n anyone else. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I saw that too. I thought it was dull and didn't really characterize anyone. Some rough racism commentary, but not really a good movie. Oh, I also saw the ending of American Beauty. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

Kor Qel Droma Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 I watched the original Dawn Of The Dead last night. It was alright, and I've seen it before, but I kind of prefer the modern one a little more. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 That's what she said! Man do I derail. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll derail your face. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll be waiting. With your mum. And the new Dawn of the Dead with Ving Rhames? That movie had it's good parts. Good body parts. Get it?
