A little late with this, but that's my way.



The awful, mind-numbing idiocy of Deadwood being cut off mid-story is that the creator left to make a god damn show about a bunch of surfers who you just wanted to slap every time the camera caught a glimpse of them. He abandoned a masterpiece to make a piece of shit that is so awful it will never even make it to DVD. Worse still, he used a couple of Deadwood actors, Paula Malcomson (Trixie) and Dayton Callie (Charlie Utter) in bit parts.

Shame.

Again, thank you for the suggestion.

Everyone hates my musical tastes. Here is another reason why:

The Avett Brothers will be my new favorites for a while.

They're like John Wilkes Booth meets Angus Young,
Or Earl Scruggs meets Sid Viscous

Google their YouTube stuff. For instance Seeing them perform is just some wild ass shit.

I guess that about covers it for now.
 
Hey girls! you'll love Definetly Maybe and guys if you get dragged to see it by your wife or girlfriend, you'll live through it.
 
Here's the real movie, Goya's Ghosts and it's a true story. Javier Bardem, now one of our favorite actors, yes the movie is from 2006, is the star.
It sure got the taste of the last movie out of my head. Thank Goodness.

The story of Ian Curtis and Joy Division.

I must say the have been most haunting. I'll
be watching the movie tonight.

Just finished The Proposition. Most excellent.
Thanks for the suggestion.
 
Father Luke, let us know if CONTROL is worth of watching, because i want watch it too.

I saw "Coffee and Cigarettes" last time. Well, i drink coffee, i smoke a lot so it was pretty funny when i saw film only about this and heard a lot of stories about it. It's a good movie with boring moments.
And the best part of film - for me - is "Somewhere in California" with Pop and Waits.
 
Withnail & I is pretty funny.. If you like Hunter Thompson, Not that it has anything to do with Hunter,... other then the same sort of craziness.. Oh and Ralph Steadman also does the posters.. the commentary is In my opinion hillarious ...

How to get ahead in advertising is pretty funny as well... my opinion of course everyone's different..

Altered was pretty good if you like horror/ suspence, it's low budg ..but worth it & very well done NOT slasher porn!!!

I have Teeth coming as well from netflix... sounds... exciting to say the least.. almost David Cronenbergish ha-
 
Saw Moliere and was surprised. I liked hearing the French.

Last night I saw a very visual movie The Darjeeling Limited. Owen Wilson is a bit strange but he is Owen Wilson.

Wow someone saw this film. I worked on this film and never thought it would see the light of day. This was done by the same guys that did the Blair Witch project. It was their follow up movie. Nice guys.

that is funny.
 
recently:
sicko by michael moore. extremely distressing movie. i'll admit i cried. man, your health system is pretty fucked in the US. i know, i know - you only hear the horror stories, and nothing about all the times people are really well taken care of... but still. socialised health care is no walk in the park, but here in nz at least you have the *choice* - health insurance affords you a higher level of care, but if you can't afford it at least you don't have to live in utter fear of getting sick or getting in an accident.

the prestige much, much better than the illusionist but nothing spectacular.

second season of deadwood... it's got me hooked, unfortunately.
 
Just watched a movie from New Zealand, Eagle vs Shark it was like Napolian DynamiteBelow the equator. In all fairness it did have a better story. My wife and daughter pick the movies, they do good.
 
sicko by michael moore

(Sicko) <- Also recently: Nothing new... since one of my best friends lives in the USA and I regular visit them for about 7 years. They have explained me a lot about the American health system.

Right...but still. Very Sad.

Okay, back to the movies. Soon on tv here, second Mr. Bean movie. They say: bad movie, cliché-humor. Ok, ok, I guess they're right, but still...

Re-visited Down By Law recently. Still love it as much today. I had forgotten that one of the three main characters was played by Roberto Begnini.
 
Into the Wild

Kinda disappointing, to tell you the truth. I was told it was a very good movie, and -once again- expectactions were not met. I found it a bit sugary and a tad too long.
 
not an important movie, but fairly remarkable:
'The Bucket List'
with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.


Both of them very different characters, but caged together in a hospital room - set to die of cancer.

Then they start to 'break out' and do everything on their 'Bucket List', which is the list of things, they want to do before they 'see the buckets' (or something like that - I'm not that much into English idioms. But you get the gist).

A mature movie with two fine actors, old enough to act a decent part about upcoming death and how to handle it. (still not a GREAT one, sorry.)


ps:
if anyone here has seen it, I'd be interested to know if there was ONE scene, when you - all of a sudden and fully unexpected - had tears in your eyes.

pps:
there are some minor continuity-mistakes in it and even a Major one (when Nicholson rips the list apart and at a later point Freeman has it un-teared), but don't let that spoil it for you.

The term is "kick the bucket", meaning to die.
"See the buckets" however, is what Michael Jordan was able to do over and over again throughout his career. A :) for Bulls fans and a :( for Knicks fans !
 
Spanish movies are not my cup of chai, but I just watched a pretty good one: La Soledad. Grab it if you can: no soundtrack -well no music,- no computer images, no effects, and a good script. Many people might find it boring, but...

Heya Roni,
No,
I haven't seen this movie
(but now its Definitely 'on my list')

Just wanted to say I love you're line about tears.
I always think I'm a serious goof ball
(well, yeah, I am, lol,
some commercials make me cry)
Because I'm moved to tears alot
(the movie Crash comes to mind immediately)
And never afraid to say it
nor
show it...
and us guys, well we're just not supposed to be like that.

And you weren't the first to mention 'tears' in this thread,
And I love us all for that.
I think Buk attracts us emotionalites..
God, can he make me cry.

that's all :)
 
Lars and the Real Girl.

A bit different to "Love for $17.50" :D
 
rewatched bringing out the dead (scorcese) - it wasn't until the end credits that i realised why the character of noel looked so familiar... he was played by marc anthony! he did a pretty good job.

also watched american gun - a very unsettling film about gun violence and its impact in america. it's kinda three separate stories, and they end pretty abruptly. very disturbing.

i also saw the assassination of jesse james... - really surprised by how lacklustre i found it. after dave's review of it, as well as another friends', i was anticipating a movie that would have the same effect on me as no country for old men, but that wasn't the case at all. i mean, good acting, beautiful cinematography... but it just couldn't hold my attention.

- Fight Club
Can someone explain the appeal of this movie to me? On half a dozen different occasions I've passed it by on cable and thought, "Well, okay, let's see what the fuss is about. I'm just not giving it a chance." And every time I'm left feeling like I'm watching a badly filmed, badly acted, horribly edited 70's drive in movie.

This is one I'm never going to get...
 
My kids like the movie and it could be the allure of the split personality mixed with the anti establishment and secret society. You know that whole secret back alley thing. Besides it has Brad Pitt, Ed Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, and Meat Loaf with tits. The ending lost it for me. I don't think, for whatever reasons, Brad Pitt is taken seriously in some of his roles.
