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.

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.

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.

We just got a new TV and blu ray player, so we've been watching a lot.  The Bourne Trilogy has just been completed though.   :D

_Children Of Men_
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206634/

As if I needed anyting more to be DEPRESSED ABOUT.

Michael Caine does his usual best to put such an anchor into a movie to be believable no matter how impossible the premise.

Just reaffirms my FreeStateProject commitment.

Quite a remarkably depressing film, actually.

That's one of only two movies that I've ever bought for myself. Love it.

The other movie I bought is "Two Lane Blacktop"- a real sleeper, but I like it.

Both movies are excellent.

I'm gonna start watching these. They have ones on immigration, outsourcing jobs, gun nuts, coal mine work, etc.

EDIT: Apparently both Megavideo and Hulu took it down so I'm not watching it yet.

Since I brought up The Siege, had to watch it again.

It's so sad that it lost its punch because reality surpassed it in many ways.

Machete. A real WTF kinda movie. A silly action film, and it had Lindsey Lohan in it too. Lots of good fighting, even if it was as over the top as it gets.

i'm in a film noir funk right now

the third man w/ orson welles - 1949

...''Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.''  - harry lime (orson welles)
