Volourn Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yeah. But, I enjoyed it nontheless. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laozi Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Yeah Death to Smoochie is awesome, and plus the female lead is hawt. Watched Garden State on IFC last night. Despite Natalie Portman and Zak Braf efforts to make themselves the cutesiest couple ever, somehow its pretty easy to just suppress my hostilty and enjoy the film. Edited January 19, 2007 by Laozi People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Apocalypse Now. Just awesome. A Scanner Darkly I want to see, I think I'll buy the DVD this weekend. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It fails to keep the mystery it's trying to uphold.. and comes off as a movie more about drugs than an actual story.. like a cross between Waking Life and Requiem For a Dream.. where the story goes out the window like in Waking Life (but still feels cool) and like in RfaD, speculates on the degredation of the human mind when we succumb to our weaknesses.. and after the seeing the movie I couldn't understand why they choose the title A Scanner Darkly .. a few dialouges briefly touches on the subject "what does a scanner see?", but that's about it.. the movie is far more about what we choose to see..

kirottu Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Death To Smoochie - Edward Norton again but this is a comedy. Basically about this perfectly moral barney type character who is a nobody that replaces the corrupt Rainbow randolf on the biggest childrens tv show. You see the darkest depths of children tv and such and its an awesome movie. Robin Williams, Edward Norton, and Catherine Keener. It also features Jon Stewart and Danny DeVito. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh man, I forgot about that one. It's an unheralded classic! "I'm Rainbow ****ing Randolph!" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah Death to Smoochie is awesome, and plus the female lead is hawt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I blame you guys for making me watch it...

Pop Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Saw The Last King of Scotland. Forest Whitaker was brilliant, as expected, and they did a decent job of making it clear that the progressive, "I want to help these people" white protagonist had his head planted at least partway up his ass (although they confused his altruistic motives and blindingly stupid self-aggrandizing a few times) Still, the editing and the quickening of the pace towards the end were somewhat obtrusive. Kind of a cop-out ending, too. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tel Aviv Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Saw Night at the Museum last night. I wanted to watch Rocky. It was worth the price of admission though just to see **** Van Dyke play an ass kicking villain (!!!) . I've never been a fan of Stiller and Ricky Gervais just played Brent once again, but Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson were the bee's knees. Obsidian! They've blocked out **** but that's his ****ing name!

I would expect that the book is much superior, though, simply because the medium is much more suited to the main conceit; IIRC there was a lot of voice-over interior monologue in the film to explain the plot, which is always a bad sign (and certainly not something I want to watch).

Richard Linklater is a big fan of Phillip K.D, which shows in all his films .. following your post I went online to do a little research as to why PKD choose the title of the book - and after reading it I understood more clearly.. - minor spoiler warning for those who haven't seen the film - The title is a reference to a passage in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 13, which states: For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Just like Archer looks at his life through scanners to better understand.. - minor spoiler warning for those who haven't seen the film - Edited January 21, 2007 by Rosbjerg Fortune favors the bald.

I've never been a fan of Stiller and Ricky Gervais just played Brent once again, but Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson were the bee's knees. Obsidian! They've blocked out **** but that's his ****ing name! You know I liked the film but felt the opening with Stiller and his son was done so poorly as to be quite unbelievable in just how poor it was done. And the movie ultimately didn't NEED IT AT ALL. It was useless pap that I can't help believe some studio exec felt needed to be in the script so the film would have some "heart" or "meaningful meaning for families". **** Van Dyke was fun, as was Mickey Rooney being punch happy. Film I saw yesterday though was Pan's Labyrinth Really good, really moving, really brutal at points. Very well made. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
