Movies (recently seen)

Yes, I just saw a Belgian film in which a drunken dwarf who is angry at the fact that his fat old horse of a countess doesn't love him anymore slathers on some makeup and passes out in a chair before murdering her with his bare hands. He also has a thing for little circus girls.

I hope that didn't wake Drums up from the dead. Probably not, because the girl wasn't a robot.

Anyway, Red Dwarf is where you can fulfill all your unrequited carny carnality needs.

Ha, I saw Red Dwarf a good while back and loved it. Probably a little less today, but some of those lines can't help but endure.

Saw Resident Evil: Extinction.

They finally made one I actually really liked this time, though given the new setting they would’ve really had to of screwed it up something terrible for me to dislike it as much as the first one. (The second one was sort of “Meh”)

It’s basically Road Warrior + Day of the Dead with Milla doing a lot of acrobatics while she kills zombies/mutants.

For your Friday viewing pleasure!

Can't wait for American Gangster to come out, it is going to kick ass.

I've been meaning to thank you guys for telling me to rent Children of Men. Amazing film. Absolutely amazing.

[apotheosis]

Ooohhh, I just watched that one again. I liked it even better the second time.

Few things I picked up that I really didn't the first time through.


1- The use of animals. If you notice there are animals everywhere in the movie. Dogs, cats, sheep, birds, cows, deer, ect. I don't think five minutes went by without them showing an animal in plain sight. I had two theories for why they did this. Either they were showing how humans use pets as a poor substitute for children, or were trying to show mankind's reliance on animals... or possibly how nature prevails over all things.

2- Towards the end, their was a very long sequence that was done entirely with one shot. The camera-work in general was incredible. Best I've seen in a long time.

3- The protagonist, Theo, wears sandals at one point when he stops at his friend Jasper's house. Possibly a Jesus symbol? Far fetched... but I thought it was worth mentioning.




Also, I was thinking, if someone wanted to capitalize on this movie they could shoot a porno titled "Children of Men II: Re-population Time"

[Dragavan]

I've been watching movies I already own... only with RiffTrax playing against them. I sure do miss MST3K and this helps me remember the good times.

I'm going to go see American Gangster when it comes out as well. I might go see 30 Days of Night too. I never read the comic though.

[End Master]

Saw 30 Days of Night. it was one of the better vampire movies I've seen.

Also saw the previews of Beowulf. That looked cool as well.

[Nappi]

man the previews for 30 Days of Night looked pretty good...the comic books sucked big time in my opinion.
I just finished watching 3:10 to Yuma,this movie gives hope to the western genre...of course iffin it had starred any one else besides Russel Crowe and Christian Bale,I believe the outcome would have been very different.Both are powerful actors and a credit to their profession.It was much the same with the movie 'The Quick & The Dead',the movie was laughable but Crowes' performance
was memorable despite his character's lack of development or depth.Of course being a fan of his I may just be biased.
At any rate I recommend it,its a good movie.

[Vesnic]

Yeah, 3:10 to Yuma was very good, almost despite its story. The plot itself meandered a little and was really saved by several excellent performances. Of course, my bloody man fetish might be clouding my judgment...anyway, I actually thought Ben Foster stole the show as one of the slimiest, most fantastically insidious villains I've seen in a long time. You don't wanna fuck with Charlie.

[End Master]

Heh, I remember Quick and Dead. The character I liked the best was Gene Hackman's role, mainly for the fact that he killed Leo Decaprio in it.

(Sigh) Why are they still making Saw movies? They're already got plans to go up to 6!

Yes I know, its money, but Jigsaw's and his apprentice are dead! There was a nice little trilogy (Even if it did get off to a rocky start) that told his story, there doesn't need to be anymore. Using "Flashbacks" and presumably prerecorded Jigsaw messages for the rest of the series just doesn't seem like it's going to work.

Anyway, I'll probably complain to you all how much it sucked this Friday. (Thus contributing to the problem of more being made)

[Shabti]

I watch the Saw movies for the entertainment of watching people get blown up and pulled apart. I absolutely love the traps in the third film. Especially the "Angel Trap"

[End Master]

Yeah that’s pretty much why I’m going to see the 4th one, though I am sort of curious how they’re going to do the whole Jigsaw beyond the grave thing.

At this point I’m discarding any sort of “realism” that some guy that was deathly ill with cancer managed to have the strength to set up and design all these elaborate traps and also plan several years in advance for everything to be set in motion after he died.
