Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Re: Movies
well...as jasper said he is irish and i'm sure you have heard of "the irish curse" so who knows if the rumors are true.
Re: Movies
When have I ever said that? I'd usually skip a movie with him on it, because I think he sucks... but I don't hate himJasper wrote: So if you like a good old school thriller that doesn't drag at all, I'd check this out (unless you're Larry who appears to violently hate Liam Neeson, or perhaps even Irish people in general - who knows).
A couple of days ago I saw 'Enter the Void'. Nice visual experiment, but I'd say it's a bad movie. Boring. It's 160 minutes long and the storyline could hardly be describes as a storyline.

Re: Movies

I thought the ending was perfect, btw.
I thought the story was really well crafted and half way through, I thought, this is a really good movie. I found the end trite, and kind of like they just ran out of ideas and thought 'well we gotta end this somehow' and that's what they came up with.
What did you get out of it?

That's David Schwimmer, Eric Avery's stunt double.

I didn't see the film there, but then again I can't find ES's page anymore. :cona:Adurentibus Spina wrote:I am just finishing "God Bless America" (thanks to ES for posting the video on FB). Holy shit.
Possibly the best dark comedic satire done since Network (maybe even better than Network). It felt Jonathan Swift could've written it. Simultaneously horrible and empathetic -- alienating. I said possibly, because maybe I read into it more than is there... Goldthwait seems to think he was saying something important.

Re: Movies
I had no idea that was the cast of Friends. I do recognize Aniston but no, I've never watched Friends. I sure can't brag about being "cool" when I have every season of X-Files, Star Trek Next Generation and Seinfeld on dvd. That was pretty much the extent of the tv series I watched from the late 80's through the mid 90's.creep wrote:"the guy". are you really trying to pretend that you are that cool and has never seen friends?Pandemonium wrote:The guy 3rd from the right looks like a messed up clone of David Duchovny.Larry B. wrote:

Re: Movies
I saw exactly one episode of Friends, and that was all I needed to confirm that it was a vile piece of garbage targeted at cubical-dwelling drones.
Hype was pretty young at the time, so maybe we can overlook the fact that he dearly loves the show (and Bush), but old man creep has no such excuse for counting Friends as his all-time favorite.

Re: Movies
The other night was friday the 13th so some channel was showing the poltergeist movies.
I actually liked Poltergeist 1 when I saw it as a kid and liked it today also.

Re: Movies
Just saw it. Surprisingly good and entertaining. I thought the script was too 'play-like' and lacked something more filmish, but it was consistent throughout the movie. The girl's character (or portrayal, not too sure) was too cartoonish for my taste and she lacks acting skills. There were some very good moments. The part that I didn't like happened near the ending, but I'm not going to comment on it to avoid any spoilers.Adurentibus Spina wrote:I am just finishing "God Bless America" (thanks to ES for posting the video on FB).

I'd recommend it.
Re: Movies
Well, I did see friends but my favorite tv show was My So Called Life (I even e-mailed the network president -was it NBC or ABC?, don't remember- about not cancelling it). I saw months ago Freaks and Geeks.
About movies, has anyone seen American Pie Reunion? is it worth going to the movies to see it?

Re: Movies
Dude... the girl was supposed to be like that. It's not a drama. It's a black comedy, and those elements are probably Brechtian. It would be bad if people actually identified with those characters.Larry B. wrote:Just saw it. Surprisingly good and entertaining.
