Man on the Moon - Film about Andy Kaufman
Confirmed my suspicion that he had very little going for him
i couldn't fucking stand him.
he did an atrocious elvis impersonation.
was funny when lawler dropped him on his head (or was that staged?)
another reason to detest REM, for immortalizing him in song.
Turns out the Lawler thing was staged, like most else in his life. I think that's why most people didn't like him--practical jokers need to understand timing. He was "on" all the time, and most of his bits, having no humor, should have been dropped. Again--I think much like Jim Carrey.
District 9. Again.
Such a fooking good movie.
Has to be in my top five. I don't see anything beating Blade Runner, Serenity and Stargate, so I guess that makes it #4 or #5.
Stargate? Really? Explain why. I saw it, a long time ago.
Let's see...great score, great acting, great script, good effects, good use of comic relief, good story premise...
The only things I didn't like were that creepy Swiss midget they cast a as a kid, and that they used rotated images of Earth's moon as images of the other planet's three moons. There was also the weird part where they could see through the Stargate with the robot and track it on its journey, which doesn't seem very likely at all, but it was a minor necessity for the plot.
Kurt Russell and especially James Spader were very good. I thought it was Spader's best performance. The Israeli chick in it was great, and it was her first ever feature. The alien dude made a creepy villain, which fortified the whole story concept.
Maybe you just didn't understand it.
