Once Upon a Time in the West - If you've ever liked westerns and haven't seen this one, you owe it to yourself, but be forewarned - it's different (that's why you should see it). It's almost three hours long, and the pace through almost all of it is slow, but that's part of what makes it great.

[The Ragin' South Asian]

I really like Charles Bronson's character in that.
I almost bought it the other day, it was only 10 bucks at best buy

[extropalopakettle]

Henry Fonda plays a great villain too - not a typical role for him.

[The Ragin' South Asian]

yeah, he was good too, but i think the whole " henry fonda is a villian!" thing was lost on me since i haven't really seen him in anything else.

The Exorsist-the Original w/the deleated scenes added.

3 1/2 out of 5 Stars.

I can understand why at the time of its release it was terrifying and for the most part it holds up today, but it is dated. I would recomend it to anyone, if you like that type of movie.

50 First Dates

3 out of 5 Stars

I have seen this movie a few times now. The first time I watched it I wasn't that into it, then one nioght I was bored and there was nothing else on so I watched it again and have found a new appreaciation for it.

DIG! - This movie chronicles the rise to stardom of the band known as "The Dandy Warhols," while also chronicling the total mess of a band known as "The Brian Jonestown Massacre." An interesting comparison between a well-balanced commercially successful rock group and a not-so-successful group of musically inclined drunks! I'd never actually listened to the music of either band before seeing the film, but after seeing it, I still don't intend to.
On the whole, I liked the film, but heroin abuse makes me queazy, and heroin addiciton combined with creative musician types makes me sad.
***, or, for The Master, ***** for gratuitous drug abuse and filth!

...well, it may not have been entirely gratuitous seeing as some of it was central to the saga of 'The BJM', but they certainly drove the point home.

Still one of the best movies I've ever seen. 11/10

Sounds more like a load of crap to me.

Forgot about my latest movie:
The Fearless Vampire Killers or: Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck
What a hilarious movie, especially strange coming from Roman Polanski, director of the dark, serious Knife in the Water, Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, Ninth Gate, etc. Great performances by Jack MacGowran and Alfie Bass that had me in hysterics. Certainly worth checking out for fans of horror (especially Dracula), but still funny if you like to watch some wacky antics. Also, for those who have seen it, was the end not the best? Ouais!

Charles, why did you post that? Shame on you, Charles. I've been a fan of you three kids for a long time. We didn't raise you to post like that!

Please don't disappoint your GL supporters like this again.

I actually enjoyed his writeup. Then he took the troll bait.

[Mackay]

Alas! Just had the urge to say it =]

[The Master]

IS has just been a complete asshole since I have returned. He has never responded with anything more than a stupid insulting one liner. I have been ignoring it, but it has been constant and I really couldn't believe anyone could be this childish without joking.
MY WORDS ARE ERASED! EGAD!

Ack...

The Master, I just went to quote your post and edited half of it out by mistake...

Never trust a sleepy girl with mod powers. *d'oh*

FWIW, before the Master makes it back to fix what I've done, he said he didn't realise that the language he was using was an issue, but if it was, he can tone it down.

He talked for a little longer about IS, but... I forget

[Internet Stranger]

He was probably saying something along the lines of how wonderful I really am after all.

And to stay on topic:

I saw Bubba Ho Tep. Mith, send me back in time, I just need 90 minutes back, please.

Internet Stranger is exhibiting the classic pre-convention behavior - trolling.
Rumor has it, he really is a nice guy. He's just trying to throw everyone for a loop before they meet him. (Ask Huey, he knows)

IS hopes everyone will be incredibly surprised when he bakes toll house cookies for everyone and in general behaves like a real creme puff for the entire meet-up.

[extro...]

I don't understand what the fuss is about. IS's posts provide a subtle earthy counterpoint to some of the loftier posts - a gentle contrast to the sometimes orotund. Shall we compare the music of the violin to that of the kettle drum? And yet the symphony would be much the less were it lacking either of them. And when I hear this symphony, I find myself overwhelmed by happiness and on the verge of joyful tears. Isn't that why we're all here?

Ah, sarcasm. When I see any post by the beloved and adored extro, I can't help but burst into a rousing song about the benefits of irony as part of a balanced diet, and then stop to gaze enraptured upon every subtle nuance and witty remark that composes the most beautiful of overcontrived and crazy comments. Is it not through this that we all learn and grow? Do we express our sense of humour in vain? *sniffle* Something like that, anyway.

I haven't seen any movies lately, but The Fifth Element is still my 2nd favourite film ever (and I'm not even a sci-fi fan). If you haven't seen it, go go go. My favourite is The Truman Show, despite it having made me paranoid. Such is life.

My mother despises the Truman Show because she thinks it is responsible for the birth of reality television.

I just saw one of the best movies ever!

Has anyone here seen The Princess Bride?

[Dmi]

You mean, has anyone not seen the Princess Bride?

I was going to say I just saw Star Wars and Lord of the Rings for GL reasons but On Golden Pond is on. Good movie and Henry Fonda's last film.

Jane is in it and she looks great butt she tries too hard to look hot. First of all she has some kind of fake tan and then during a scene where she's scampering around in her bikini, she noticeably keeps pointing her toes (while sitting a wriggling around on the dock) and keeps tighting all her muscles - what a tart. I liked her better in Barbarella.

Still a good movie. It's hilarious when Henry Fonda throws the freshwater clams into the air and then strikes them with the wooden canoe paddle. (Too bad he doesn't use it to spank Jane's extremely buff butt)

Sideways

Quirky. Surprised to see full frontal (male) nudity. They never gave you a clear shot of his face, but I think it might have been Antrax.... or Agamemnon. Come to think of it, he was yellling, but I didn't detect an accent, so probably wasn't either of them. Maybe Samadhi.

I was young, I needed the money

[extro...]

Sideways was interesting. I mean, before seeing it, I was expecting it to not live up to all the artsy-fartsy hype about it. And the fact that it is credited with rising sales of Pinot Noir, and declining sales of Merlot, makes me think it appealed to a bunch of spineless saps. But afterwards, I kind of liked it. Yet I like Merlot, and haven't yet had a Pinot Noir that didn't strike me as watery. But I don't have the sort of refined palate the likes of the main character. There was something sad about this character who has this incredible appreciation for fine wines, but who [spoiler?]steals cash from his mother to afford himself the luxury.

Last three films I saw, from best to worst.

Downfall - a German movie about the last days of Hitler. Absolutely stunning. Doubt I will see a better film this year.
Untold Scandal - Korean version of Dangerous Liaisons, which looks gorgeous but you can't empathise with the characters enough for it to work properly.
Kingdom of Heaven - Ridley Scott's not-as-good-as-Gladiator movie about the Crusades. Direction and cinematography first-rate, acting and script somewhat less than first-rate. Why do I think I shall be saying the same thing about SWIII?

[And, fwiw, I thought Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy was fascinating: a 1* movie for Adams fans, probably a 3.5* (out of 5) for most other people. I'm a long-standing Adams fan, so I didn't like it, but it was clearly using Adams' ideas and not some random script-fixer's. And there were some parts that were genuinely inspired: the new Marvin was superb, and Zaphod's second head was handled interestingly.]

[The Master]

Glad to hear about Downfall. It is coming the theaters around here in a couple weeks. I'll be sure to check it out.
