Saw Tropic Thunder last night. Hilarious film :D

@Bosco: Rachel is hot, indeed. ;-)

Sean Young went a bit loopy, though. She was in the running for the Cat Woman role way back when, and she didn't get the part. She would have made a pretty good Cat Woman, I think. And apparently, she thought so too. When filming began, she showed up on the set anyway decked out in Cat Woman gear making a diva-like stink and got in the director's face. She had to be physically removed from the set. I can't remember if there was a restraining order on her. Needless to say she didn't get much work after that (her other notable role was Young Doctor's In Love? I mean, come on!!). She was apparently a PIA to work with.

I think Sean Young's role as Rachel was her crowning moment. She exuded such class and style, she was perfect and such a classic beauty. Too bad she couldn't keep the momentum going.

I think I'm going through a phase or something, cause I'm starting to dig a lot of chicks in movies from the 80's era.

Anywho.....

saw the movie 'Stardust'. What a surprise this movie was. Cross breed of Princess Bride, meets, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, meets, Big Fish. Box office bust, but incredibly sweet, funny, and entertaining.

Yeah Stardust is great :D Admittedly I only watched it for Gervais's performance, albeit brief.

From the top of my head the best 80's women who kill me are the huge breasted woman from Police Academy :o and the woman from Weird Science :o god dayum!

Plus, Bosco is a chocolate sauce.

hehehe - I saw Weird Science in the theater when it first came out.

I didn't make it through all of Stardust, it just didn't hold my interest I guess (but maybe I'll give it another chance) but the book on the other hand. OMG the book. By all means, you MUST read the book! Must must must! It goes by fast and sweet, I promise. Neil Gaiman is an astounding author who literally transports you to another world when you're reading. He's that good. I guess that's my problem. I love his books so much that I feel the film adaptations of his books don't do the stories justice.

Just watched Taxi to the Dark Side. It made he sad for many reasons, and it's a horrible realization to know that the Bush Administration has made America a less safe place in terms of the world.

Quantum Of Solace

If you like Bond, don't watch that movie.

Burn After Reading is a decent film, although I wasn't convinced by Pitts performance (although some of it was funny). Coen Brothers know what they're doing.

Also watched Max Payne, it's certainly a cinema film because of the effects which are amazing. I tried to view it as objectivly as I could because if I were to compare it to the game I would say the film was a steaming pile of shit. It wasn't bad, like I said; the visuals were brilliant but it lacked character development. I didn't feel Paynes rage, or Mona Sax's affection for Payne. It was all very empty.

Saw Quantum Of Solace, and I'm prolly the only person who thought it was good. It seemed like it would lead to something more, and it prolly will in the sequel, but I like the new Bond after a long time.

Anyone caught Slumdog Millionaire yet?

Been hearing fantastic reviews from friends abroad who have, except for the fact that Indian slumdogs can speak English with a Brit twang now.

Fuckin ironic that a Boyle film based in Bby doesn't have an India release date yet!

Weird Science! A classic!

Bill Paxton is the shit. He's done great movies from Tombstone, Twister, Titanic, and has the TV show Big Love.

I think his best was from Aliens.

http://www.cinematic...xton-in-aliens/

Bill Paxton had some great lines in Aliens. That movie is regular fare in my household. There were a lot of great lines in Aliens, but my favorites are "Game over man, game over!!" and "Why don't you put her in charge??" I got the "put her in charge" schpeel recorded on to my phone.

As for Quantum of Solace? I know it sounds shallow of me, but Daniel Craig is one fucking fine speciman. I'm not one to fawn over celebrities because they are good looking. It's just not something I do. But man, Mr. Craig is a good looking man. His lines could consist of 'wha wha whaaa... wha wha wha" al la Charlie Brown Peanuts Gang cartoon and I wouldn't care as long as I could watch him move on screen.

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

Oldboy! Well wow. I don't use the word "amazing" willy nilly, I save it for special occasions and this is one of those; Oldboy is amazing. It's a South Korean (subtitled) film about a drunk man who's life takes a turn for the worst when he is abducted. It has incredible dialogue, visuals, and a story so it works on so many levels. It is a tad fucked up though, so not something to watch with the family. If you plan to watch a film, make it Oldboy.

Not many women i know feel the same as you Whirly, they think he's mingin...I think he's a good looking fella though, and I liked QoS.

Old boy is a great film - apparently they are planning on remaking it for the american auidence but having will smith as the lead.... I just can't see it myself.

If you liked old boy there is film called ichi the killer that is very similar also very violent

The american version of oldboy is going to be adapted from the manga comics not a straight remake of the korean film so they might be quite different. Iguanapunk you should get the two vengeance films as well. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, along with Oldboy they form Chan-wook Parks venegance trilogy, brilliant director. Speaking of brilliant films a swedish vampire/love story called let the right one in, difficult to discribe but what a fantastic film, beautiful atmos and acting from the two child leads.

Old Boy was a great film (some incredible fight sequences as well) but it did creep me out. Y'all who've seen it can guess why, hehe. I was so not expecting that. But it was part of what made the film brilliant, that twist. I really can't imagine the need for an American adaptation of the film. I mean, why not just leave well enough alone?

Ichi The Killer was just brutal. I don't think it was a bad film - there is brilliance in it's brutality and it's the type of film that stays with you a long long time after viewing it which is the mark of a good film. But man. Ichi The Killer was absolutely brutal to the point I had to look away during certain scenes. I can usually stomach a lot of violence, it doesn't bother me much but the overt sexual violence in the film made it very difficult and uncomfortable for me to watch.

Visiting Uwe - The Uwe Boll Homestory

http://www.ws-avantg...de/visitinguwe/

Okay yesterday I watched Wall-E in 1080p. that was pretty nice but a little sad at the end..Definitely Pixars best work...especially with regards to the animation but the story-line, message, etc = quite refreshing compared to say....Finding Nemo.

Recently I have bought: Hell Ride & Sukiyaki Western Django. ++

Just watched Seven Pounds, that film is heavy. Probably the saddest film I've ever seen. That was followed by Obama's speech, to much for one day!

Zack & Miri Make A Porno

again great job by kevin smith
