Yes, I'd agree.

I've got Oldboy and Gozu coming up soon in my netflix queue, too. I've heard such good things about them!

RedEye, Enron: the Smartest Guys in the Room will make you want to quit the human race. Skilling and Lay are despicable.

I am breaking radio silence on The Gamer's Quarter to state that Daphaknee you are wrong on this very important and relevant issue: the writer/director of Shoot 'Em Up also WROTE DOUBLE DRAGON: THE MOVIE.

Well, the movie is listed as being in post production, so I am doubting that this will affect that too much. But man, Ledger seemed like a decent enough actor, so that is unfortunate.

This is sad news.

He was a Perth boy, too. Sad

He was sensational in Brokeback Mountain. Cinema will miss a very major young talent.

Actually, I'll always remember him for how fucking bad his accent is in Brokeback. But yeah, he was decent. I liked him in movies that were otherwise bad, though I don't think he had a hell of a lot of range.

One of my friends called me as soon as she found out. Another cried.

you guys i am watching the matrix 2 and 3 and there is nothign redeeming about htese movies
im so glad that i never got into the matrix

Dracko · . Joined: 10 Oct 2005 Posts: 2613

They are unbelievably boring and shit. Completely uninspired camerawork too.

I just wish the Wachowskis would fuck off and die. They've never done anything of merit and the first Matrix barely counts.

That said, the Animatrix had some cool shorts.

3-Iron wasn't bad, but I really enjoyed [from the land of Hong Kong, which I'm mixing in with Korea because my imdb verification was apparently ignored by my eyes and hands] 2046. I thought the Host fell apart as it continued. The beginning was awesome, but the end was so blah.

Finally finished Reds.

Fucking boring as hell.

I guess they had all these props and shit left from Chinatown and decided what the hell.

Jack Nicholsen, Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton.

Still boring.

I did like the part where Keaton's character bitches out Beatty's character:

"Your going to sneak into Russia so you can convince the COMINTERN that your 14 intellectual friends in the basement are the REAL American Socialist Party?"

Something to that effect.

The Island was ok.

Too actiony, but I did like the bait and switch with the THX 1138 becoming a spoiler.

Perhaps a bit of a Matrix reference as in "the mind is needed for the body to live."

Coulda been way better.

But still I think it was damn good.

A baroque miniseries would have been much much better.

i saw the island on ANA airlines and was wayy to drunk to care
i switched over and played street fighter 2 until i passed out

sediment · Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 1:26 pm Post subject:

the island is alright, though i had THE BIG SPOILER spoiled for me (thanks 4chan), but i felt it was pretty obvious. granted i have a strong family history in biomedical crap.

i saw stardust a couple days ago and it might be my new favourite movie ever. for serious. watch it right away if you haven't already.

ok, so more movies now:

Power Trip:

Wierd propaganda.

Redoing Tbilisi electricity and charging for it. Okey doke.

I'm not sure exactly wtf the meaning/message is.

Rambo: First Blood.

A drama, not in modern terms an action/adventure.

Several injuries, one death.

The death is accidental and happens to a homocidal antagonist who threatens to murder a civilian if said civilian won't help in an attempt to murder an unarmed fugitive who is fleeing from false arrest.

The "colonel" crap/green beret mythology part is not necessary..

Watership Down.

boo-hoo, poor animals.

The visionary rabbit reminded me of a 17 yr old cat my relatives had to terminate a few months ago.

Cat's mind was intact, but the body failed.

I was in the room for the lethal injection. I was NOT in the room for catheterization/sedation.

I'm still pissed about "ze sekrit catheterization", because I think it was done "off-camera" as training for the trainee, who gloated with fascination over the proceedings.

Anyway the death of "Fiver" really reminded me of Malcolm's End.
(The cat's name.)

I rewound a few times for that last bit, then put the DVD back in the envelope for remailing.

The Conversation:

Gene Hackman as paranoid surrounded by fellow surveillance experts.

ok film.

Enron: the smartest guys in the room.

Yeah, people have to have guns.

It's not like the National Guard is going to string these fuckers up.
