6/18 JD What movies should I watch?

PrintSo yesterday i went to blockbuster and they said "hey sense ur getting 2 movies anyway why not pay $15 and u can watch however many movies you want for a week." I know this is nothing new and may not be a great deal, but i plan to take as much advantage as possible with this.
I am going to dedicate this week to watching movies. I have been stuck in my dorm without a car and no close movie theater for the last few months, but now I'm not. So I have been on a bit of a movie hiatus and now i am looking to do some catching up. I have already watched the machinist, gran torino, the hangover, and drag me to hell in the last few days. I also traded for evil dead and COD5(which im gonna return cause well its not that good compared to COD4) tonight.
So I am asking anyone out there for some suggestions on movies, old or new, that i really should see. The rules are no chick flicks or movies staring dane cook, but other then that let the floodgates open!

i might check out blue velvet
i have never seen a david lynch film but i hear they are crazy

Blue Velvet
and Wild at Heart are the easiest to watch
Let the Right One In is awesome. Amazing cinematography.
Why are you not just getting NetFlix?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I second Blue Velvet
Just got done watching it the other day.
For some strange reason, I’ve also been watching a lot of gangster movies lately.
City of God, Goodfellas, the Untouchables.
You wouldn’t happen to be going to U of O too, would you?

Gomorra is good
but its in Italian or something with english subtitles.
Its a really good Gangster Movie though
Gommorah is a good movie, I currently have it on my laptop with English or Italian subtitles.
Ten players, two baskets, 13,000 people, one basketball. And we will decide what is done with that one basketball.
You know the knight library has lots of movies you can check out too.
If the dvd/vhs/laserdisc (yes they do have laserdiscs) isn’t on reserve for a class you get it for 3 days. However no renewal unless you’re a gtf or a prof, and the late fines are kind of steep.

Knight Library
Yeah, there’s plenty of DVD’s at the Knight Library. You can renew the films too if you do it in person.
What I usually like to do is get some movies and then when classes are over, head over to one of the big classrooms to watch movies.

The lecture halls in PLC or Lillis seem like they'd be great for watching movies.
I would highly recommend avoiding Columbia 150. I had too many lectures in that room with those horribly uncomfortable seats.

Did anyone else feel as if Slumdog Millionaire was a rip off of City of God?
no ...
i thought slumdog was better than i imagined but not nearly good enough for best picture.. but the oscars suck anyways
by GreatOden'sRaven on Jun 18, 2009 4:20 PM PDT up reply actions
the best picture from last year
was The Dark Knight. of the ones that were nominated, it should have been Frost/Nixon.
by DrivetheLane on Jun 18, 2009 4:22 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't think it was a rip off
What do you think was similar, besides being about a group of kids growing up in the ghetto in two different countries?
The visual style, the storyline, the tone (God was much more serious), all pretty different to me.

Just saw
Gran Torino and that was pretty good. Gunin for that 1 spot was pretty cool as well, especially for basketballheads.
BTW Netflix is much better IMO. I had that for a while, but now I just Redbox stuff at my local McD’s and Albertsons. If you search around you can get free codes as well.

If you missed it
Hot Fuzz was the best movie of 2007
Buffalo 66’ is fantastic
Sweet and Lowdown is one of my favorite Woody Allen films
American Psycho is one of my favorites as well.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Fair warning
Hot Fuzz uses a gore to a crazy degree, for comical purposes. If you don’t like gore and don’t like gore used as comedy, this is not the movie for you.

It’s actually not funny and I cringed most of the way through it

It's essentially a British take off on the Dan Akroyd/ Tom Hanks Dragnet.
So if you liked that, you’ll love Hot Fuzz. Unless you just hate British comedy.
I'm a movie snob
and sometimes movie critic, and I usually favor very serious indie or foreign films, but I also think Hot Fuzz was one of the top 3 or so movies of 2007. It’s gret.
Here are 10 of my all-time top movies, in case anything there might interest you:
Dr. Strangelove
The Double Life of Veronique
Lone Star
Do the Right Thing
Repo Man
The Sweet Hereafter
Amélie
The Thin Blue Line
Garden State
Next Stop Wonderland

It took place across the street. The first month I worked here that’s how people would introduce themselves.

Michael Douglas screwed the author out of a lot of money with that movie.
Kesey did fine for himself
All of that money would have just ruined his eventual destiny….
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."

In a seminar/class I took with him
He sure seemed pretty upset by it still ;-) He said Douglas pretended to be a free flowing hippy creative type to get the rights for the book, and Kesey wasn’t strict about the terms of the agreement thinking he wouldn’t screw him like that and so Douglas used that to his advantage.
I was like, bummer, man. He was a cool/interesting person though.
That's so funny
I’m sure he would be upset by it… probably more so as time possibly put the movie over the book in terms of popularity.
I loved meeting Kesey before he passed away. Fascinating guy. Most of the Pranksters fascinate me. In addition to having the graduate school I wanted, going to Veneta and being a part of the Oregon Country Fair was a huge part of moving up to the Northwest for me.

Braveheart- Very good
The Sixth Sense- That directors only good movie
The Bourne Ultimatum- Solid
Groundhog Day- Funny
The Prestige- Not seen
The Usual Suspects- Not seen
Donnie Darko- Don’t get the appeal here
Unbreakable- This movie is beyond awful. I’ve seen slugs with a faster pace and I’ve seen 6 year old make up dreams that had better plots and character development.
The Pledge – Not seen
The Departed- Dumb
Pale Rider – Not seen… I need to watch more Clint

To me
They are both surreal fantasies. This hurts the Prestige because it tries to act like it isn’t one.
The real choice between them is: which kind of Love Triangle do you prefer.
For Pearl Harbor, please select The Prestige.
For The Princess Bride, please select the Illustionist.

just the quick ear test....not having listened to these over and over again (i'm sure some of these would grow on me)
All Falls Down by Kanye West: Wow. A lot different than “Amazing.” One out of two thumbs up.
Happiness is a Warm Gun by The Beatles: Just not feeling it. No.
Sunshine of Your Love by Cream: Old school sound. Kinda…chill. Not bad.
Say It Ain’t So by Weezer — Heard this on Guitar Hero — I like it.
Juicy by Notorious B.I.G.: Gets annoying. I just don’t like his style. I could handle him being a featured guest on another album, but a whole album of him would drive me insane.
Nude by Radiohead: Pain in musical form. Ughghhhgh
Lookin’ at Me Sideways by Brother Ali. (Listen to his whole album actually, its better that way) — I really liked this one. Favorite out of the list. I might have to check him out.
Parachutes by Coldplay: I dig. I’m surprised I don’t own a Coldplay album. They sound like a good band if you’re in the right mood.
Love You To by The Beatles: Interesting song, trippy youtube video. I wouldn’t download it to the iPod though.
Loyalty by Blue Scholars: Way better than Notorious B.I.G….better than Kanye….almost equal with Brother Ali…those two have different styles…I dig both.
Bottom line: 3 outta 10 ain’t bad.

It's usually the other way around
But I liked The Departed better. Both were cool though, I just like Scorsese’s visual style better.
Hmm… most remakes and do-overs I don’t like better than the original, and I know it is sacrilicious, but I prefer SORCERER over WAGES OF FEAR, the original.
Sorcerer is awesome and came out the same day as the original STAR WARS, and so it bombed and almost ruined William Freidkin (French Connection, Excorcist).
I'll download it
I found Wages of Fear Incredibly boring and the acting bad too, from what I can remember.
Yeah, Wages of Fear is kinda old...
…Sorcerer is very 70’s, in a good way, where nothing is over explained and it’s done in a realistic style.
I think it’s a forgotten classic.
"The rat symbolizes obviousness"
I like The Departed, but it really was more of a lifetime achievement award for Scorsese, not his best. ‘Taxi Driver’ is his best.
by samuelleejackson on Jun 18, 2009 6:08 PM PDT up reply actions
It's hard to say
But I think Raging Bull or Goodfellas are over Taxi Driver, but it’s nearly impossible to pick.
I love Taxi Driver
But that level of anger and disenchantment found in Taxi Driver types that ends in violence, almost never results in POSITIVE violence like freeing a hooker. It ends bad for everyone, that sort of violence.
Now it could be a fantasy sequence like some think, where everything works out, but I dunno.
It’s one of the best characters ever, and a great movie. That bit of, to me, less-likeliness puts Bull and Fellas above it, but barely.
Usual Suspescts and Pan's Labyrinth are stellar, stellar films.
Also, Donnie Darko is awesome and Unbreakable is mediocre to poor, rather than “beyond awful.”
It really seems to depend on the person
I thought Unbreakable was ok at best. My wife considers it an abomination upon humanity.

Athletes tend to go where the money is
there is a lot more money to be had in basketball and football than there is in soccer in America, so more of the great athletes are going to play those sports.
The exception to this is boxing, as unless you grow up poorer you tend to think of other ways to make money than getting punched in the face.

My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain
Years go by I’m lookin’ through a girly magazine
And there’s my homeroom angel on the pages in-between
CHORUS:
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
(Repeat)
Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin’ about her dress
I was shy I turned away
Before she caught my eye
I was shakin’ in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by
Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee
Is really just too much
CHORUS
It’s okay I understand
This ain’t no never-never land
I hope that when this issue’s gone
I’ll see you when your clothes are on
Take you car, Yes we will
We’ll take your car and drive it
We’ll take it to a motel room
And take ’em off in private
A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can’t deny it
Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it!

i bougth the DVD version
of The Descent unseen. It is a directors cut (i think) and judging by the ending (which probably wouldn’t be popular with audiences) it is the directors version. Anyway, I knew it was supposed to be scary so I watched it at night with all the lights off, which I don’t usually do. At one point I yelled, “What the crap is going on!!” my feet were off the floor several times too. “Scary” movies don’t usually scare me but that one creeped me out.

Some may qualify this as a chick-flick
But it’s still one of the best movies of all time.
Casablanca.
That was back in the day when actors could act and movies told stories. Today is all about how a movie looks. That’s why most of them are forgettable. Much better are the ones that have stood the test of time.
Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant was good if you’re looking for a comedy.

I like a lot of the old time movies... this isn't really one.
Not Gunga Din (1939) is a classic and a great movie!
The Princess of Blazersedge
I just DVR'd it
I feel bad that I ain’t done watched it yet, though I’m familiar with the story.
I’m gonna watch it first chance, yo.
Casablanca is great
Most any David Lean movie is great as well… I like Lawrence of Arabia a lot.
Treasure of Sierra Madre is cool.
Shoot, I always blank when someone asks me a question like this. If someone out there likes a movie a lot, see who directed it and check out more work by them.

If you haven’t seen any of these, I would recommend picking at least one (they’re all 3+ hours):
Once Upon a Time in the West
Lawrence of Arabia
A Bridge over the River Kwai
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Solyaris (Tartovsky)
Once upon a time
also highly underrated.. i bought it on DVD for like 9 bucks at target.. no one was interested so they had to lower the price. Im with you on all of the above

What Dreams may come
That one’s definitely debatable. Not just by me either; it’s at 55% on rotten tomatoes, and a lot of the positive reviews are “it looks pretty, which makes up for the plot a bit”. It’s on my very short list of “never recommend this movie to anyone”.
The Jerk
Steve Martin at his best. If you’ve only seen the modern Steve Martin, this is worth a look to understand what made his career.
Yeah, Dreams was so-so, and much more about the visuals than the plot
But I thought they were cool enough.

There are occassional exceptions
I like both Ocean’s 11, and it’s going to be hard to say this since the Rat Pack starred in the original, but I think the remake actually outdoes the original. I appreciate they used the original movie as a template instead of copying it directly. I enjoyed the plot, the twist, and the random references.

One of the most absorbing moments of all time movie making. But I was kind of half and half on the rest of the film, but that scene worth the watch of the movie.

The 4th one is an abortion
And that is the nicest thing I can say about the 4th Indy movie. God I hated that movie, and I didn’t watch it till the other month, because I was avoiding it, so I expected bad but silly but it was bad but awful.
The 2nd one I didn’t like once I wasn’t a kid anymore, but revisiting it now it has so many iconic scenes and some cool moments, but his then-mistress now-wife lady of Speilburg-o’s is so damn annoying I wanna strangle her to shut up.
Plus, Lucas was going through a bad divorce, and was angry at woman and the world, so the heart-being-ripped-out scenes have an added layer of meaning that is both funny and lame and makes you wonder how old he is.

by EvilKaramazov on Jun 18, 2009 10:51 AM PDT up reply actions
You should.
Rumor is that the movie is so bad, Hasbro is worried that it’s going to kill the toy line, which is a cash cow for them.
I heard two different things
One: worst screenings ever.
Two: decent screenings and the bad reports are bad misinformation.
I remember a similar thing when the first X-Men came out, people saying the crowd responses were the worst ever. Now, I think GI Joe looks awful awful awful too, but it’d have to be extremely bad and not just bad but OFFENSIVELY bad to get the worst ratings ever.
Just having explosions and fights is enough to get by with decent scores, I’d say.
Is Channing Tatum playing Snake Eyes, though? Maybe it is offensively bad.
My wife went to high school with him in Tampa. I pretend he is an ex boyfriend and I am jealous of him.
Is Channing Tatum playing Snake Eyes, though?
Ray “Darth Maul” Park is playing Snake-Eyes. Tatum is playing Duke.
I’m hoping the ninja clan’s origin story (thanks to Hama being a consultant) saves the movie.
The scenes mixing real life streets with CGI look really bad
Don’t know where it was filmed, looks a bit like Prague to get the bugdet lower. And I fear the dialogues will sound like they take themselves very very seriously.
I'd be ok if they took themselves seriously, if they do it right
Larry Hama did an outstanding job with the comic book, which had a much more serious tone than the cartoon. (The majority of their universe was caused by various after-effects of the Vietnam war)
I suspect the problem is that the plot stinks, and they didn’t know if they wanted to be serious or parody, so it’s got both.
Plus they thought since Michael Bay changed the look of the Transformers in the reboot, nobody would mind if he changed the look of people like Cobra Commander.
The robot suits look like they’re going to really hurt the movie.
But if they nail the Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow storyline with their clan history, I’ll be there to see it.
It just looks cheesy as hell
And a pet peeve of mine, for trailers, is when they try to make a last shot of the trailer the money action shot, and it turns out to be a really lame shot.
In Alexander, it was him meeting the Battle Elephants. Not that cool to a modern audience.
(I’m forgetting other trailers that do this but pretend I made an extensive list).
And then in GI Joe, it’s cgi robot suits flipping up and down a street dodging missiles. YAWN.
reports that they banned the director from the cutting room
so the editor could make it “watchable”
by GreatOden'sRaven on Jun 18, 2009 1:51 PM PDT up reply actions
They also got reports conflicting with that
It’ll prolly be bad but especially with movies coming out the same time as other movies the same misinformation you get in the draft is spread all over.
And since GI Joe looks awful, it makes it easy to believe the rumors.

I know I'm alone on this one
But I don’t think she is that attractive. I think she looks smelly and sticky.
But, like I said, I know I’m alone. Everyone loves her.
Everyone like the new Star Trek movie? Same writers as both Tranformers movies. They aren’t bad writers at all, but Michael Bay is a bad storyteller. I blame him.
She falls into the same category as a lot of the movies I've listed
She’s hot, but her hype is totally out of control. Of course, the hype for most A list celebrities is. I can go to a Blazer game and find a good handful of people as good looking as the supposed best looking people in America.
I also find People’s arrogance cute. Their “hottest man alive” issues and crap like that. Let’s be honest. The hottest man and hottest woman alive is no doubt someone with an avarage job that none of us know exists.

New Trek
I liked it. What’s weird is how a new entirely different timeline has emerged and I wonder if this will lead to a new series

based on the box office, already, you know there will be another movie.
If they did a new series, they would have to use the same actors, right? I dunno how many actors would sign on to a tv show after starring in a blockbuster movie, though.

That reminds me, I had another complaint
If they do, God forbid, make another Indy movie, PLEASE DON’T HAVE IT ALL BE ON WHACK GREEN SCREEN STAGES. It looked AWFUL.
And it is totally because none of them REALLY want to make a Indy movie, so all they do is talk about how its for the fans and what the fans want, and by shooting it in front of green screens the whole movie they can stay in LA and be with their families. Which is fine, but don’t muck up the Indy series because you don’t wanna make an Indy movie.
Just… don’t make an Indy movie. There, problem solved. The fans would love a real Indy movie, but a half ass Indy movie is 10 times worse, a MILLION times worse than no Indy at all.

I thought the film was decent until about the scenes in the jungle
Those and the aliens were awful. The chase through the university yard was fun. But maybe the film jumped the fridge earlier :)
Speilberg, even half assed, can't help but put together some good moments
I liked that same chase. But the artifact they were going after was pointless/not cool, Cate Blanchett was wasted and her death was just trying to emulate the end of Raiders, the aliens were lame as well, Indy doesn’t actually DO anything he just get dragged along everywhere…
Ugh. I literally had no expectations, but it upsets me so.
I love Raiders and they could do it again but they didn’t wanna.
I went into it with no expectations
so it was an entertaining waste of 2 hours…
I didn’t expect anything because they showed that Shia was in the movie in the previews

Haha, I like the idea of Short Round
It moved it less from a “realistic-esque” world and into a comic book world with a kid character helping him out, but I’m okay with Short Round.
The really over the top and bad stunts (the inflatable rescue raft escape from a crashing plane for example) and no Nazis and awful lead actress are the worst parts to me.
Does everyone know that Temple of Doom is why we have PG-13 movies now? It was rated PG, parents were angry over the violence, Lucas and Speilburg (and others) argued there should be an inbetween rating, and thus PG-13 was born.
I liked Short Round

i tried watching that once a long time ago

The exceptions are The Shining (because of the acting) and the first half of Full Metal Jacket (because of DiNofrio, who blew it out. He might have peaked with that one.)

Well, the constant theme of Kubrick's work
Is the dehumanization of humanity. through technology (2001), war (jacket), drugs and violence (Clockwork Orange), etc.
So that sterile, unemotional style is what he is going for.
I agree, 2001 is mostly boring but has some really cool parts. If I had to pick a pretentious film nerd movie to watch, I’d pick Citizen Kane over 2001.
Kubrick was famous for making his actors do take after take after take, even up a hundred (which is crazy) on mundane lines, just to rid the emotion out of the voice.
I also understand
If someone doesn’t LIKE that sterile, unemotional style, so I don’t want ya to think I am saying you are wrong.
if what you say is true
then he hits the nail on the head every time. I guess I just don’t care for that style. I don’t deny he’s a great filmmaker, just not someone I like that much.

You have to get the British version. I haven’t seen the American version but I heard it was a crap.

On a Clear Day: great UK film, heartwarming but also hilarious.
School of Rock: I know it sounds like a kiddie film, but Jack Black is really funny in this one IMO.
Singing in the Rain: watch it for the dancing, its breathtaking. Unless Debbie Reynolds is on screen, then just listen to her amazing singing. She was the only untrained dancer in that entire movie. I think she pulled it off.
Almost Famous: SO EFFING GOOD. Great soundtrack too.
Freedom Writers: Amazing true story.
Les Choristes: French film about a boys choir. Not gay I swear.
The Dangerous of Alter Boys: Semi-surprising ending…

Do you know how hard it is to have a movie called Snakes on a Plane be R rated and STILL be boring as hell?!
I was like… guys, it’s snakes on a plane. Get awesomer.
You are CRAZY!!!! Snakes on a Plane is the freaking most ingenious movie ever!!
If I could rec snake a million times and kiss him, it wouldn’t be enough props to give him for mentioning Snakes on a Plane.
This movie changed my life!!! remember the microwave scene? Priceless!!! And uhm.. well.. Sammy Js life altering soliloquy is basically the greatest words ever spoken by ANY ONE EVER PERIOD.

Freddie vs. Jason, The Fly, Anaconda, Ghost in the Machine, The Lawnmower Man, …
Woah woah woah
Don’t group Anaconda in with those movies. It was awesome.
The Princess of Blazersedge
no way!
None of those movies have the philosophical underpinnings of snakes on a plane.
Because… see.. the snakes are a metaphor for all of the troubles and hardships we face in life.. and the plane… see.. that represents our current projection in life… And sometimes.. see.. you get tired… I get tired… SammyJ gets tired.. we all get tired.. of these metaphorical snakes on this metaphorical plane.. so what do we do? What do we do when we get tired? What would you do when you have had it with these snakes on this plane? Well.. clearly.. as SammyJ has taught us.. everyone just needs to strap in… because you have to open the window!
I mean.. seriously.. I don’t think anything ever written or spoken amongst humans in the known past has ever even remotely compared to this sentiment. I’d have the entire soliloquy tattoo’d on my back if I had the money. I would quit my job and become a prophet and selfhelp guru relating these inspirational words to everyone hurting or in pain in the world…
Open up your windows people.. and bring that plane down… that’s the only way to get those snakes off.. because you are tired aren’t you? you are tired of these metaphorical snakes on this metaphorical plane, right?

Interesting tidbit this morning.
Memphis’ view of the draft right now.
Here’s the key section:
Are there any potential trades scenarios that have gone underreported?
Sure. The New Jersey Nets are said to be willing to part with point guard Devin Harris. The Griz should ponder if Harris is worth the second pick.

Haha, you hate David Lynch
What about DUNE? Is DUNE your favorite movie ever?
I love The Neverending Story and I think it has aged well. Big Lebowski is a favorite also, as are most MOST most Coen bros movies.
UHF was great as a kid and is still funny. Michael Moore was famous after Roger and Me, I’d say, but you’re right— not the worldwide super fame and hate he has today.
David Lynch is great when he's forced to limit himself.
Which is how Twin Peaks came to be.
“You can’t do that. There are Network standards. Be creative instead.”
He loves to be weird and confusing for the sake of being weird and confusing
I can like him and be really annoyed with him all at the same time.
I feel like Lynch is like Solondz in Happiness
because he CAN, he DOES..

I like the Awful Truth because it isn't so blatantly political.
it’s more concerned with individual issues and individual people. My favorite episode is when a guy had been denied a kidney transplant because his company reduced him to part time, and so his health insurance got reduced significantly. Moore held a funeral for the man (who was still alive) outside Humana’s headquarters, complete with media circus. The guy was granted his transplant a few days later.

2 of my friends in college rented Gigli just to see how bad it was, and make fun of it
It turned out that they thought it was so bad that they couldn’t even laugh at how bad it was. They were so depressed and pissed they’d wasted 2+ hours of their lives they refused to even talk about what made it so bad.
See, I thought it was bad
But more just because it is BORING.
If it was truly bad, like awesome SHOWGIRLS level bad, then it’d be better.
But it’s just boring as hell and not interesting. Which is worse than being bad.

And speaking of the director of To Live and Die in LA, no love for Freidkin? I love THE SORCERER also, though I wish they just called it Wages of Fear, which it is a remake of.
And I loved Last of the Mohicans growing up as well
I have a soft spot for visually interesting epic-y type movies.

Classifying Action and Comedy Movie Types
So Mort and I obviously have different views on Grandma’s Boy and he brought up that it’s silly to argue movies. I agree and disagree.
When I go to a movie, I am expecting different things, and I will criticize one movie for things that makes me like another movie.
Comedy- Obviously for these movies, the goal is to make you laugh. It doesn’t matter if the plot makes no sense, characters do things out of character, etc. It is a comedy. If you are enjoying it and laughing, then it’s good. This is why a movie that by all rights is awful (Grandma’s Boy) can be so good to some people.
Raw Action- This is an action movie that is made to be an action. The plot is secondary. For these movies, I put aside serious plot flaws since I know that enjoyable part is supposed to be the action. If you go into these movies expecting some deep plot/story, you will be disappointed. If you go in expecting action, with enough plot to keep it from being totally mindless, you will be pleased usually. Prime examples of this are Rambos, Predators, and Transformers.
Action with a story- These are action movies that also want to have a plot and make you think. I will criticize these for crappy plots, loopholes, etc. Movies that fall into this category are Batman: The Dark Knight and Watchmen. This is part of what bothered me about the new Batman. Everyone talked about how wonderful the plot was and all that jazz, but it was filled with so many plot holes that I wanted to cry. If it had just let itself be a true action like most movies I would have probably liked it more… but since it wanted to be “deep” I looked into the plot aspects more and found a lot of stuff that I hated. Watchmen meanwhile did a lot better job of actually having a story to go with the action, so although I might have been less thrilled throughout the movie, I left liking it more than I did Batman.
The Princess of Blazersedge
From dusk till dawn blends these elements nicely
I thought the dark knight was crap BTW
"The problem with tweeners is that sometimes they’re exactly what you need to plug the hole and sometimes they are the hole."
-LaughingJon
Yeah
As with everything there are grey areas, but the genre “action” is too broad for me. I liked Transformers despite having some of the same major flaws that made me annoyed with Batman. But that’s because Transformers was just an action movie whereas Batman was supposed to be an action movie with a plot.
The Princess of Blazersedge
I agree with most of tht
Specifically, I was watching Grandma’s Boy in the mood for a dumb comedy and I could care less how much it made sense, I just wanted some silly laff laffs. And I was so bored by it…
BUT, I like to debate movies and discuss ‘em, as much as I like talkin’ Blazers. Blazers is actually easier to debate since there are set ways to determine a player’s worth, and while people can have differing opinions it is easier to see “who is right”.
With movies, its totally subjective, and pointing to various stats (how much it made, awards) mean nothing when discussing art, or what you enjoyed about a movie. So, debating and discussing is fun, but not much convincing or productivity comes of it. It’s still fun though.
One movie that is “bad” but I think is real funny for various reasons: DIRTY WORK, starring Norm McDonald. I hoped Grandma’s Boy would be more like that, just silly and dumb but funny.
I prefer to compare movies with what it is trying to be, like you do. I compare an action movie to an action movie, not to Shiloh.
Does it succeed with what it is trying to accomplish? Etc.
That's the thing
With comedies you can’t really argue who is right. You might find a stoned monkey not funny where I find it hilarious. There is no logic or reason to one of us being right.
You can analyze action movies, especially those with a plot. Like in Batman. The guy is supposed to be a human, but the movie randomly gives/takes away powers and abilities. At times he can jump 4 stories in a parking garage and land on a moving car, naturally crushing it. At other times he cannot take on a dog… yes a dog.
Or the fact that Joker is supposed to be all about anarchy and stuff like that, but he plans everything out perfectly and he even has contingencies for everything. Not exactly what you’d expect from a fan of anarchy.

For you GI Joe and Transformers fans out there
In case you’re unaware, Rhino/Shout is re-releasing the original cartoons this summer, with special features, toy commercials, the PSA’s at the end… everything.
we were talking transformers a couple days ago in context to 80’s cartoons. Mortimer broke the bank on creepy exploration cartoon. For transformers, if you are interested in the cartoon, I recommend getting the chinese import box set. It has everything you need (movie included).
by EvilKaramazov on Jun 18, 2009 11:22 AM PDT up reply actions
Pretty sure Shout did a remaster of the series beyond what the Chinese import has done
They’re reporting that they personally did the remaster work. Plus fresh interviews, and the previously-unavailable original toy commercials. They didn’t just put a new box around existing materials.
No movie, but there’s an anniversary edition out now anyway.
Creepy exploration cartoon?!
THE MYSTERIOUS CITIES OF GOLD is awesome not creepy!
I got it from Amazon just yesterday, it made my day. Hadn’t thought of it for years, and then boom it’s been on DVD for a month or two.
I only watched the first episode, and I was surprised I remembered the cool music.
Once I remembered it that day of the junk drawer and researched it to try to remember it better, I saw lots of communities about it online. That was cool and weird. I would run home after school to watch it, I loved it.
I hope it’s still good.
hehe… I watched the entire opening sequence, with the narrator set against the picture of a solar system after we talked about it…
for as much as I talk about transformers, when you watch it, you realize the first 8 episodes or so, make no sense—everyone can fly.
by EvilKaramazov on Jun 18, 2009 11:28 AM PDT up reply actions
That always bugged me too
The Decepticons were supposed to be the flying ones, right? But everyone could fly.
I hated Go-Bots as a kid because I thought it was a rip off of Tranformers, and to me it was “unrealistic” because the toys had them have a plate thingy over their “mouths”, so they had no lips, but in th cartoon all the Go-Bots had moving lips.
Thus, Transformers was better because some robots of plates over their mouth and some have lips. NOT EVERYONE IS THE SAME.
I haven’t thought of Go-bots in like 15 years… Do you remember this:

Actor: Ben Affleck, if anyone actually rates him as good anymore. Just bad. Also Keanu Reeves. The guy is just an awful actor who gets roles that fit him thrown his way. When he tries to deviate from these roles… he is terrible.
Actress: Most of them. Soooo many mediocre actresses who keep getting parts because they’re hot.

Actor: Dunno, typically the people who make it big aren’t ever underrated.
Actress: See above

I would rank the Star Wars films thusly:

3) Revenge of the Sith
4) Return of the Jedi
5) Attack of the Clones
6) The Phantom Menace

though the drop for #2 on that list to #3 is bigger than the grand canyon.

Yeah, I think the first Star Wars is way overrated
WHEN viewed through the prism of awesomeness that Empire is.
i respectfully disagree.
A New Hope was better in every way. I think the only reason Revenge of the Sith is even #3 is because of the ending where we get to see how Darth Vader came about. But that really is a horrible movie. In fact, I’d switch it with Jedi.

This is why Star Wars fans hate me
1) Revenge of the Sith- Despite Hayden failing, seeing the fall of the Jedi and the rise of the Empire was just way cooler than seeing the Empire falling later.
2) Empire Strikes Back- Empire pwning some more!
3) Attack of the Clones- This is where we saw Vader get born, Storm Troopers get invented, etc.
Gap Here
4) A New Hope- Is kinda meh…
5) Return of the Jedi- Not a good movie really
6) Phantom Crap- Okay, this one did fail bigtime.

there are a lot of reason to watch Star Wars, and almost none of them involve the dialogue.
don’t destroy the classics
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."
- Nic Batum
yes
but a lot of the criticisms of the new 3 movies is that the dialogue is bad, when the dialogue for the originals wasn’t good either. They aren’t measuring them with the same yard stick.
ugh
Good point, I guess. It feels blasphemous to even consider measuring them the same. I wasn’t the same person when each of them came out, and I judge the first 3 with the cloud of reverence from my childhood.
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."
- Nic Batum
I thin what could help things
Is we convince Lucas that Phantom Menace didn’t happen, Attack of the Clones is actually episode 1, and he can have a new episode 3 movie to really end things on the right note.
Or, pretend all 3 didn’t happen, start episode one with Anakin as an adult (about Luke’s age), and have the turn to the darkside more gradual and convincing and not from being a vagina over a girl.
And get him a non-yes-man producer like that Rick fellow is, and a real live GOOD screenwriter like he had in Kasdan before.
This is a good idea
And maybe we can all forget that Anakin and whats her face fell in love when he was what 7, and she was like 17. They don’t see each other for a decade and insta romance!
Creepy…
Basically, episodes 2 and 3 outside of Anakin were completely awesome movies.
The Princess of Blazersedge
He was influenced by all of those
Female Teachers Runs Off With Young Male Student stories in the press those days.
The Star wars prequels were ripped from the headlines, he would say!
It’s like… it’s Star Wars. It has a lot of awesomeness in it inherently. It shouldn’t be so tough to make a satisfactory movie that we don’t need to make excuses for.
Not only does Phantom Menace suck, NOTHING THAT HAPPENS IN IT HAS ANY BEARING ON WHAT HAPPENS IN ANY OTHER MOVIE. You could cut it out and still totally understand what is happening.
That isn’t a good sign for a movie in a 6 part series.
i should probably say
“It wasn’t as bad as whoever acted out Anakin in the subsequent 2 and 3”
that was horrible.
your bad for believing a mod

His script for that Tony Scott movie with Keira Knightley, Domino, was bad also.
I thought Darko was cool the first time I saw it but I think it mostly does a good job of appearing like it knows what it is doing.
It’s much worse than Donnie Darko. It feels like the director wanted to “Travolta” the whole cast. There is almost nothing good in this movie. He also expects viewers to read three comic book vignettes that are not in the movie before it even starts. Terrible script, worse editing.
People love to have homework before being able to watch and understand a movie.

They’ll also make the online ESPN Magazine columns insider (except for BS). Maybe I need to subscribe.

Daye, Austin
Curry, Stephen
Calathes, Nick
Blair, DeJuan
Green, Danny
Flynn, Jonny
Harden, James
Thabeet, Hasheem

I’m shocked to see Lawson and (especially) Daye so high. Wouldn’t be shocked if KP targets Lawson or Blair if he trades up, or Green, Darren Collison or Calathes if he stays put.
Hollinger’s numbers hate Jordan Hill and DeMar DeRozan.

as he puts a big emphasis on age. No mention of Rubio.

ok, here's another joke involving speeding.
The Pope is in Los Angeles for some reason and he’s being chauffeured in the pope-mobile.
His chauffeur asks him: “so is there anything you used to enjoy that you can’t do now that you are pope?”
Pope says: “you know, funny you should mention that… I used to really enjoy driving my own car.”
Chauffeur: “well, I have no problem with letting you drive for a while if you want.”
So, the two switch places and the pope starts driving. He gets going really fast and eventually gets pulled over by a cop. The cop comes up, sees the pope and immediately goes back to his car to radio into base. “I pulled someone really important over,” says the cop. The officer at the base says “Who, the mayor of LA or something?”
Cop: “no, a lot more important than that.”
Base: “well, ok, did you pull over Arnold?”
Cop: “way bigger than that.”
Base: “what, you didn’t pull over Obama did you.”
Cop: “Let’s just say I don’t know who this guy is, but he has the pope for a chauffeur.”

But when she gets in and sees him she thinks “nah, that fat balding guy can’t be him.” But she finally asks where he went to school, and he names her school and graduation class.

Man:How this going to help me get better?
Dr.: It won’t, but it will make what time you have left seem like forever
A man goes to the doctor
and the doctor determines that he is so stressed and depressed, that he needs a real life change to pull out of it and live a long life. After the exam, the doctor pulls the wife aside into his office. He says “for your husband to get better, you need to do everything you can do make his life easier and enjoyable. You should cook him healthy meals, keep the house clean and free of allergens. You should also engage him in (marital relations) at least 2x a day. Every day. This is the only way he will survive this period in his life.”
The wife leaves the doctor’s office, and the husband asks her what he said.
She said “he says you are going to die.”

There once was a captain of a sailing vessel
that would often be attacked by pirates (the Jack Sparrow type, not the ones with Uzis). Each time before they would engage the pirates in battle, the captain would call his First Mate and say, “Bring me my red shirt!”, and each time the pirates would be defeated by the captain and his crew.
After a while, the First Mate asked the captain why this red shirt was important that it needed to be worn for every battle. The captain replied “If I am wounded in battle, my red shirt does not show the blood, so my crew will contine to fight unafraid”
The next day, the ship spotted 10 pirate ships coming towards them. “What are we to do? Normally we only fight one or two pirate ships, but now there are 10!”, the first mate said to his captain.
“Simple,” the captain said “bring me my brown pants.”
I liked most of AI, but hated the ending-it wrecked the movie. They changed directors in the middle of shooting, and I think it really affected it.
Pan’s Labyrinth is a must see. I really like Minority Report, but I have some friends who can’t stand it, for some reason.

They changed directors for AI?
No they didn’t, Speilburg directed it all and wrote most of it too. It was just a project in development by Kubrick for a long time.
You are right. Kubrick owned if for many years, story-boarded it, but could never come up with a decent ending.
Spielberg came along, completed the movie, and came up with the craptastic ending. Did you like AI?

Most, but hated the ending
Kubrick wanted to have animatronic robots for forever and paid this one dude to create them over several years and lotsa money spent. I dunno what ya mean by storyboarded it, do you mean scripted it? Outlined it?
Most of the movie was much more Speilburg than Kubrick, so I’m betting most of it got changed. It was much too poppy and parents-son-relationship focused to not be Speilburg.
Kubrick wrote it based on a short story called "Supertoys last all summer long" or something like that.
He worked on the project for over a decade, outlined most of the story, cast many of the characters who did voices for the robots, but decided before he died decided that Spielberg would direct it. Kubrick never had a satisfactory ending; he also put off making it for so long, partially, because he wanted to cast a real robot in the lead, but the technology wasn’t there yet. Spielberg cast Haley Joel Osmond, and sprinkled many subtle nods to Kubrick throughout the production of the movie. And you are right, Spielbergs influences are all over the movie, naturally, and I blame him for the terrible ending.
The movie looks beautiful, I have to say, and I really enjoyed the first two acts.

It was one that coulda' been great
If it woulda’ ended with Haley at the bottom of the ocean, it woulda’ been a lot better. Not great, but better.
But, Speilburg refuses to ever have a sad ending, because his first movie released in theatres bombed because of the ending (or so he thinks/says).
So, AI had to end all upbeat. Lame :-(

I got treats to enjoy! TCM has been showing some great stuff lately. And, it’s in the proper aspect ratio and unedited.
I like all of thosr that I have seen, but I wish I could see what Idiocracy was like before it was taken away from Mike Judge by the studio. Just feels like it could be more, it’s a good idea.
I need to rememer to check through TCM more often
I saw The Trial many years ago as part of a ‘Literature as Film’ course in college. Amazing movie, IMO.
I think I included Idiocracy more for the concept of the dystopia as opposed to the quality of the movie itself, which could have definitely been.. more.

TCM and FMC
Both don’t edit and show the movies how they are supposed to be shown. And, of course, no commercials.
Those are two of the most underrated channels.
AMC makes me mad because it is always edited, has bad commercials, and doesn’t show the films in the proper aspect ratio (unless they are really old and already fit a standard TV’s 1.33/1 aspect ratio).

Akira is an anime. If anime is not your cup of wax, venture no further that way.
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."

I'd say it's a GOOD anime though
Some anime super sucks, but just because it is anime doesn’t mean a good movie can’t be made in that style. I actually don’t like most anime at all, but if someone doesn’t watch something just because it is anime (and not judging it on their own merits) I think they are a racist of some sort.
hah!
I am definitely not trying to imply that fanfaraway a racist!!
I totally agree. I have a bit of a anime background, but there are a few animes I frequently suggest to many people. Akira definitely transcends the typical anime market.

If Cain could win the Cy Young this year
The Giants would have a starting rotation with 4/5 Cy Young winners and STILL not be a playoff team!

Obviously Sanchez wins it next year so that Giants entire rotation has one...

Nah, I think good candidates from their current depth charts depending a bit on who they draft would be: Memphis, Indiana, Atlanta, Charlotte, maybe Orlando among the top teams. Portland would be pretty much the same situation as last year.
It's funny that Kings fans argue with Grizzlies fans that Rubio doesn't want to play there
Who cares, when the Grizzlies take him (which is the wise thing to do) they have his rights, and if he really doesn’t want to play there they can arrange a trade e.g. for a PF like Thompson or dump a bad contract on the KIngs and pick who is left at #4. Why let him drop to the Kings for nothing?

saw it when it came out in theaters. was disappointed. It comes out on video around Christmas.

I dunno about that
Speilburg owned the rights to Schindler’s list for forever but wanted to wait till he was mature enough to direct it. He owned it for over a decade, I believe.
Scorsese has often wanted to show he could make a money making, Hollywood movie, because he so often doesn’t, and has said he did Cape Fear to make a profitable Hollywood movie.
Speilburg may have been attached to do Cape Fear a one point, though, that could be true.

As a producer, Steven Spielberg shopped directing duties on this film to numerous colleagues, because he was afraid he couldn’t do the story justice. He was turned down by Martin Scorsese (who was interested but ultimately felt it was a subject that should be done by a Jewish director), Roman Polanski (who didn’t feel he was yet ready to tackle the Holocaust after surviving his childhood in it), and Billy Wilder (who turned it down because was in retirement). Apparently, it was Wilder was convinced Spielberg to direct it himself.

CAPE FEAR:
Steven Spielberg was originally set to direct. He later recommended Martin Scorsese for the job and personally called the director, letting him know that this was a commercial film that had potential to be a hit, which would exercise more power for Scorcese to make his films.

And other stuff like Entertainment Weekyl and Premerie, is that they idealize and mythicalize these sort of things to create a nice story with how something came about., A lot of it just isn’t true.
Speilburg is “set to direct” about 80 movies at any given time, so he was likely attached to a remake of Cape Fear and all and passed it on to Scorsese, but the stories of how stuff comes about or why someone did this and that that are all over IMDB are usually just fantasy to make it seem cooler.
Like the whole “Speilburg refused to show the shark” in Jaws mythology that was around for forever… the robot shark just wouldn’t work is all. It ended up helping the movie. But for years, that was the story and accepted as fact.
The last line was why Scorsese said he made Cape fear, to have an actual hit, because he has very few actual hit movies. I usually just go by what I read in interviews or hear in interviews and stuff with the people involved, but they’re always lying about how things came about as well.
The USUAL thing is, it just isn’t usually so dramatic with how something came to be. If a story about why someone made this or that or became cast in this role or whatever is really cool and dramatic, it is usually a lie.
Here's a few of my favorites off the top of my head
Sin City
Apocalypse Now
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Unforgiven
Full Metal Jacket
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
Salem’s Lot
Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke
The Shinning
AI
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Where the Buffalo Roam
Princess Bride
Buffalo 66
Dead Man
The Spirit
tainted sin city for me
some really cheesy dialogue in that one, but it is overcome by the story and most of the acting

What makes a good actor/actress?
People have been bringing up actors and actresses. This is my 1 criteria.
Would someone else have done the role as good/better?
I look at movies with Norton and Depp and I cannot picture anyone else playing the part. Meanwhile I see movies with Brad and Matthew and can think of a dozen other guys who could do the part better. (I will admit Pitt totally worked for Fight Club, but a lot of his parts are totally interchangable with other guys.)
The Princess of Blazersedge
I agree.
Depp is one of my favorite actors and it’s really hard to imagine another actor playing any of his roles. One of the things I like most about him are the obscure roles he likes to choose.
yeh, but when he bombs, it's really bad.
he is brilliant in a lot of movies, but I thought him in willy wonka was wayyyy lame. maybe i’m just a wonka hater.
it wasnt him that was bad
it was the fact that it could never live up to Gene’s version
GENE WILDER FTW in EVERY one of his movies

I think I said this in a different post
Brad Pitt is one of the best actors around IF.. he is a secondary character.. his lead roles are miserable.. but if you look at his movies where he ISN’t carrying it.. he blows it out of the water..
for ex.
Fight Club
Burn After Reading
Oceans 11
12 Monkeys
Snatch
Se7en
True Romance
even Mr and Mrs Smith
or Interview with a Vampire (which sucked)
compare those to his lead roles
Legends of the Fall
Meet Joe Black
The Mexican
Troy

Word, I like your theory here.
I haven’t seen a few of the “good” ones, but I agree that in Oceans, Fight Club, and 12 Monkeys he played a great supporting guy. Aside from Fight Club though I’ve never seen a movie where I couldn’t picture someone else in his spot. (I haven’t seen Benj Button though.)
Norton and Depp both make most of the characters I see them in.
I think this is the problem with female leads in Hollywood. They are all so interchangable to me.
The Princess of Blazersedge
i actually liked him in Meet Joe Black...but he had anthony hopkins helping him out i guess
i can’t even remember who the chick was, but i’m sure she was alright.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith was really good I thought.
But yeah, Pitt is like Pau Gasol—-sucky with the Grizzlies leading the show, brilliant playing second fiddle to K*be.
Evil Dead 2 is better
If Evil Dead 1 has been built up to you for a long time you might say “ehh it was okay”. But Evil Dead 2 is awesome.

i just saw Alien V Predator
and that nearly offended me in its badness. If there was ever a movie that should have been rated R. I even saw the uncut version. And it was still a PG-13. Terrible terrible terrible movie. It’s hard to think up the really bad movies though cause I forget them so quick. if they’re bad enough to stick in my head, I usually like them. Like The Wizard and Ernest Goes to Camp.

I think that part of the problem was
that she had read the books the previous week and then wanted to know what the movies were like. About half way through the second movie she decided that she made a bad choice finding out.
We're the other way around.
My wife loves them. She saw them multiple times at the theater, and has the extended edition DVD’s (a gift from me).
I tolerate them in a very similar fashion to how she tolerates the Blazers.
I have to go with Lord of the Rings, though the sheer length of the 3rd one made me briefly hesitate
and I would actually put Bourne 2nd, as unlike Indy and Star Wars there is no stinker among the 3.

Tough one.
I like many of them. But if I had to choose I’d have to say Lord of the Rings was the best. Even more so since I have the extended versions. Can’t wait for them to come out on Blu-ray. Also looking forward to the new Hobbit movies as well.
Best Trilogies as judged by El Presidente
- Star Wars — The Original Epic Trilogy
- Lord of the Rings — Brought the trilogies to a whole new level. Brilliant cinematography.
- Die Hards — Yippie ki yay!
- Terminators — I liked the second one the best I think
- Star Wars — the Rebirth (Episodes I, II, and III)…a lot of people hate on these, but I liked how Lucas revived the series. They were all fun to watch. I thought the first episode was better than the next two.
Matrix trilogy wasn’t bad, but I thought the third one was a let down.
"I thought the first episode was better than the next two"
I have never, ever, ever met anyone who thought that.
Like, literally.
I’ve met those who didn’t like Empire the best, didn’t like the OT as much as the new trilogy, but to put Phantom first? Over the other 2?
That is a first.
I mean no offense, I am just in shock.
agree
I know people who debate clones vs. sith but Phantom is almost universally regarded as the red headed stepchild.

One thing Phantom had
Was the best light saber fight, at the end, intercut with complete and total lameness with the horrible space battle (who thought I would ever type "horrible space battle? That should be a contradiction in terms) and the who cares cartoon battle of Jar Jars versus cartoon tanks.
ur right
Maul v. Qui-Gon is probably the best light saber fight, but I did also like Anakin vs. Obi-wan battle in Sith.

Which one was "CSPAN in Space" where all they show is debates in the Galactic Senate? That's Phantom Menace, right?
And most of all, it has a mumbling alien vs. aliens that talk with a French accent. I rest my case.
There are scenes of the senate in a few different ones
But the primary one where it’s used is the first.
Anakin in numbers 2 and 3 just ruined it for me.
He’s such an annoying brat, it just makes it a grind to watch.
I'm not sayin' I'm just sayin'
If someone thinks Phantom is the best of the New Trilogy, it is a sure sign they aren’t ready for marriage. Hell, they shouldn’t even have to pay taxes or go to war either, they just aren’t fit to be a contributing member of society.
I’m not saying you’re a bad person, just a “broken” person.
He plays the journey to the dark side as a series of angry eruptions, which I don’t know if it’s his inability as an actor or the inability of Lucas and his writers to come up with something better. I hated the ending to 3. If that’s how it went down, Vader would have killed the Emperor a long time before the rest even started :)
Besides the ending I was also incredibly disappointed that they portrait the young Anakin all the time as someone who is “good with repairing stuff”. And then they didn’t let him build his own suit, which I thought all along was the purpose of including this in the plot. That left me very disappointed.
To me
It just needed to be more gradual, and not just a petulant response to teen love lost.
He needed to make it so we could almost go “okay, I see why he went this way, that really sucked what happened to him. I can see his point”, even though his decision ultimately ends up destroying billions of lives and star systems.
He coulda’ lost more body parts before getting burned to a crisp in the volcanos, so he could repair his robot legs and other limbs to show he can repair stuff good, if you liked.
There was no real reason he would trust the Emporer for so long and do what he wanted, unless one bad moment is enough to turn him… which it isn’t realistically enough. That’s why I favor the “forget episode 1, have a more gradual traansition to the dark side over 2 and 3 and not have it happen all at once” Yeah, Palpatine was like a father figure, but that isn’t enough if Anakin is allegedly good inside.
It needed more motivation, and not just rely on “well he’s supposed to become Vader now so he just does”.
Lucas is a guy with GREAT ideas, but needs someone who can edit his ideas down and help him hone them and not give him free rein. Free rein for Lucas creates the New Trilogy and Howard the Duck.
yeh, basically the whole new three episodes failed hahahha
they were fun to go watch at the theater, but the plot and acting was lacking in many areas.

Michael Dudikoff is the greatest action hero, ever
I liked the old days where my action stars weren’t actually expected to know any “kung fu” or “how to fight”. I liked a average looking white dude with feathered bangs just throwing punches and kicks aimlessly as people fall all around him.
Here's a great trailer from CANNON films
I wish Cannon was still around, making awful martial arts themed homoerotic shoot-em-ups.
Haha, I didn't know this
AMERICAN NINJA was called AMERICAN WARRIOR before the title was changed.
With all the Ninja talk in the trailer, how could they not ee what the title should be? It was destiny.
American Warrior/Ninja trailer.
Check out all of the CANNON FILMS trailers, or anything from the production team of Golan and Globus.
Here is
Michael Dudikoff introing a Cannon movie called URBAN WARRIORS.
It reminds me of "Hi, I’m Troy McClure, you might remember me from such movies as “American Ninja” and “Platoon Leader”.
I thought Friday the 13th was a docudrama – doesn’t count.

Released in 2000 in France, 2001 in the US. His best-known US film is Gothika. It’s not a through and through great movie, but it has a really nice atmosphere set that cites Shining a bit. It has a sequel that is not so good.
You damn liar
You said the title was THE CRIMSON RIVER, but I can see plain as day it is called LE RIVIERES POURPES. What are you playing at, Norsktroll?

needless to say, I’ve never been the same since. The number of ways that I scream and cried during those movies defies any logic. But it does make a great story when I explain why the movies I cried the most during were Amistad and Gia

Red Dawn
We have discussed it before, and it deserves a return. Best movie ever with some of the best quotes out there
No one in the world can beat me at RBI baseball 3(nes).
I heard they shot Red Dawn in the mornings
And The Outsiders at night.
That’s how it works in Hollywood, I tell ya.
All this movie talk
makes me want to visit Universal Studios. I haven’t been there in about 18 years. I’m sure that it’s completely changed by now.
Which one?
Last time I was at the California one was like 1995
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."
- Nic Batum
The one in California.
My dad took myself and my younger brother down to spend a week. Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farms, Magic Mountain, Universal. I certainly would like to head back down and do it all over again.
Great times
I think Disneyland has changed the most in those years as they added an entire new park to it.
It would be a lot of fun. Was the Viper up at Magic Mountain when you went? I like that one!
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."
- Nic Batum
Not that I can recall.
I would have to say that my least favorite park was Knotts Berry Farms. It just so happened that on the day we were there some high school that was still in session decided to have a field trip there on that day so all the lines were long.
One of my favorite restaurants we went to was Midevil Times. Ate with our fingers, horse jousting, sword fights… it was a blast. Actually I enjoyed myself throughout the whole trip really. Yeah, I want to visit California Adventure too.
did the same thing....pretty fun.
the best is if you can do it in May….the parks are EMPTY. you go on a Tuesday or something and they don’t even make you get off the rides. We rode the log ride at Knotts like 3 times without even getting off to get back in line.
There is an insane amount of comments about movies.
So which one should I watch?
Certified blazer.fangirl
I say that only half jokingly
somehow I got my wife to say “If you are willing to be potentially seen renting ‘You Got Served’, then I will watch it with you”. It wasn’t as bad as I expected. The ‘villian’ has terrible hair, a Rasheed Wallace jersey makes an appearance, and it has probably the best line in movie history:

I just googled it and the You Got Served Take it to the Streets
is the second one.

I didn't really like either Step Up movies.
But they’re good for watching on a rainy day with my dance buddies. When Step Up 2 came out, we got free tickets (because they send tickets to dance schools, HELLA SWEET!).

Anyone seen PRIMER?
I think it’s a cool lil’ super cheap time travel movie from a few years ago.
Some people thought it was too confusing, but I liked it quite a bit… especially for what they accomplished on a very small budget. The acting and dialogue is very naturalistic, so it can be hard to tell exactly what is said at times, which also confuses people, so subtitles help a lot.
If you like sci fi and wanna try sumthin’ cheao n’ new, try PRIMER.
Haven't seen it, but heard you have to watch it 3 times to figure it out.

Batman I and II—-great movies.
Mission Impossibles
Gone in 60 seconds — Cage and Jolie.
Italian Job
The Rock
Walking Tall (cheesy, but funny)
The Rundown (again, heesy but funny)
Flight of the Phoenix
Did you see the original Flight of the Phoenix? Like Pelham 1, 2, 3 that was another movie that really didn’t need a remake.
i didn't
but I think the remake with Dennis Quaid is kinda’ cool. That model plane dude is so annoying the whole time…it’s a crazy plot twist when you figure out what he really does for a living.
Well originally it's a great book. But in the 1965 version it's also a great film. And that role is played by Hardy Kruger.
The special effects are less spectacular, but the character actors are awesome.

Apropos Hardy Kruger and great action movie: Hatari with John Wayne and director Howard Hawks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatari!
Now that is real live dangerous action. Peta would run wild against that movie today.
which batman do you mean
Batman Begins/The Dark Knight?
or
Batman/Batman Returns

FIRST KNIGHT?!
You need to watch that again, it is AWFUL. Worst King Arthur movie ever.
Go see Excalibur, it is cool. There is a R and PG version, don’t worry!
i haven't seen excalibur...i'll put it on my list.
i haven’t seen first knight in a couple years, but for some reason i have it catelogued in my mind as a good movie. Isn’t that the one where he’s like “My last…act….as king….is to command you all……..TO FIGHT!!!!!!”
Yeah, and it is wiggety whack
I swear, that is one of the worst movies I’ve seen. The costumes, the acting, the lame-butt visual style… one of the Zuckers did it (they of AIRPLANE and NAKED GUN fame), the one who also directed GHOST, and it is just awful.
A few years ago at your age means you’ve changed and grown immensely, so don’t worry if you like (or think you like) something that is actually bad. Good at 14 is embarassing at 19. It happened to me all the time.
I promise, First Knight is awful and you won’t get into a good college if you disagree.
Well I'm already in, so either I'm an exception to the rule
or deep down inside I really know First Knight is a bloody awful movie.
Must be a bad school then
In this economy, you can’t afford to make this mistake. Watch it again, and repent.
REPENT.
Apropos Naked Gun, I recently caught Leslie Nielsen in a horrible movie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Travesty
It’s some US, German, French co-production. And I assume the actors all spoke in their own language. It’s unbelievably dumb.
Some of it felt like his old role in “Forbidden Planet” (which for its time was a great Sci-Fi flick), ignoring that 50 years of improvements in production had passed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet
Everyone should have watched Forbidden Planet. The effects haven’t aged worse than those of many movies made much later. I think it influenced a lot of the original Star Trek, and is still cited in series and movies.
No, it's an awesome old sci-fi movie
I like it a lot, and other cool sci-fi of that era.
1950s style robots FTW!

is king kong worth renting?
I’ve heard people who like it and people who say it was an epic waste of 2.5 hours of life.
I thought that the movie could have easily been at least 1/2 hour shorter
Half the movie seems to be close ups of peoples faces with this look on their faces:
It's not so bad
Like others say, I agree it is much too long but has some awesome moments and scenes.
Jackson gets how to use special FX to really wow ya and it has some great action scenes, it’s just some of the subplots are totally pointless and when ya watch ya don’t care about them and it’s just wasted time for an already super long movie.
It is better than most think, I’d say, but I can’t blame Jackson for indulging himself since it’s the only chance he’ll get to do something like this after the mega success of LOTR.

I love the trailer, where the critic comments start off as “a dramatic tour-de-force” and other serious comments, then “a laugh riot”, “the best comedy ever” and etc.
My wife hasn’t seen it, this month I gotta take her. ADULT SWIM on the Cartoon Network actually played the whole movie a few months ago, secretly. They didn’t advertise it, and it wasn’t on the guide, I was just gonna watch sumthin’ and noticed it was on.

Your hole is getting deeper
In future podcasts people will say “yeah Prez likes that player, but you know he also liked Waterboy, Star Wars Episode I, Spider Man III, and called Air Force one the best airplane movie. So I’m not sure how much we should trust his intuition on that one.” :)
air force 1 is hands down the best airplane movie ever.
i’ve seen waterboy once and wouldn’t die for it….just has a couple classic lines
I do think Star Wars I was not that bad. I actually liked Jar Jar Binks (yeah yeah, throw the tomatoes).
Spiderman three was DEFINITELY not worth walking out on. It wasn’t as good as I and II, but it was still worth the 9 buck movie ticket.
Airplane movies
Airport is much better. Despite the name it has great airplane scenes, and multiple real character studies. Kicked of all disaster movies since. Oscar winner direction, won at least one Oscar.
Heck, United 93 is a much better recent airplane movie.
There is also a similar one whose title I can’t remember (I don’t think it’s the same, I think the international title is something like Giants in the Sky), where a small sports airplane crashes into the cockpit of a Jumbo in flight killing or severely injuring the crew, and then a stewardess has to take over aided by the captain who has gone blind. Then a second military plane comes to bring over a new pilot via long line, which is the exact scene Air Force One stole for the most dramatic highlight.

Part of it is growing up in Battle Ground (or wherever ya grew up, I imagine it being rural) and only getting to see the big releases.
All ya gotta do Prez, is check out some critic’s best type lists, learn what director’s ya like, check out their other stuff, browse the video store and see what looks good, and you’ll be a film expert like the rest of us.
I grew up playing more video games than being a movie junkie
And, truth be told, Star Wars Episode One on Playstation was the bomb diggity when it came out, so that is probably clouding my judgment. I guess now that I’ve grown out of video games I’m getting into movies more. Maybe some movies are just an acquired taste.
That plus I think I just have eclectic tastes. I appreciate movies that others deem flops. I didn’t mind “The Core”, but every person I’ve ever talked to thought it was the lamest movie ever.
Strange Brew

KP wants to keep both Freeland and Koponen, and it looks like Freeland will stay in Europe a few more years
Joel Freeland, the 6-11, 250-pound forward from England who was a late-first round pick by Portland in 2006, had a big season playing professional ball in Spain. "He has made a quantum leap to the point where he is getting multi-million-dollar offers and will probably stay in Europe," Pritchard said. "No doubt, he wants to be in the NBA, but he wants to come over when he’s ready. He said he wants to improve a couple of more years, so when he comes over, he can make an impact. I kind of liked him saying that." … Finnish guard Petteri Koponen, another late first-round pick (2007) obtained by the Blazers, played behind Earl Boykins with a pro team in Italy last winter. Pritchard said Portland will retain rights on both Koponen and Freeland, with a cap hold costing them about $1.5 million for the duo next season.
http://www.portlandtribune.com/sports/story.php?story_id=124529314241049700
Maybe if we bring in a PF backup veteran, Freeland could one day be his replacement instead of now being an end of bench player.

You need to get into the classics. I enjoy a lot of stuff made before I was born. In fact I’m often amazed how good movies that are over 50 years old are both in terms of story and acting.
Just last week I watched “The Sons of Katie Elder”. That Western is better than 80-90% of stuff on TV and in cinemas today. And the scary thing, it’s not nearly the best Western and not even nearly the best Western with John Wayne or Dean Martin.

It's a classic!
The stroller-down-the-steps-shoot-out scene in the Untouchables is an homage/rip off of Potemkin.
Anyone see HAXAN? Super creepy silent movie from Sweden I think, about witches and demons and evil stuff throughout the centuries. For a filmgoer who was scared that bullets were gonna hit him when the guy shoots at the camera in THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY, to see some of those visuals had to have been eternally nightmare inducing.

As a youth
I liked that director a lot, Brian DePalma. Since my youth, I’ve realized he had blatantly ripped off Hitchcock and others quite a bit, but I still love his visual style.
He did Scarface, Carlito’s Way (which I prefer to Scarface), Blow Out (an underrated movie that I really like), Casualties of War (ehh), Dressed to Kill, Carrie, Phantom of the Paradise, Mission Impossible, Femme Fatale, Body Double, uhhh… lotsa stuff.
His work with cinematographer Steven H. Burum are my favorites, visually.
I do like DePalma
how did he rip other people off?
Best of Senator Clay Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4-QyAzY64&feature=related
"Nice Signature" - Claire
Mostly Hitchcock
Body Double = Rear Window
Dressed to Kill, Raising Cain, parts of Femme Fatale = Psycho
Blow Out’s plot similar to The Conversation (a great, great Coppola movie), and Blow Up.
Great train station scene in The Untouchables is from Battleship Potemkin.
Obsession = Vertigo.
huh
I could see that.
It doesn’t really bother me though I guess. Has he acknowledged that he “got inspiration” from those films?
Best of Senator Clay Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4-QyAzY64&feature=related
"Nice Signature" - Claire
He was defensive about it for a while, has changed his rationale a few times.
The worst ones to me are the totally, totally, obviously blatant Psycho rip offs. And it’s the worst part of Psycho: the explanation of why Norman did what he did.
I think Blow Out is better tan Blow Up, and I think it’s not that similar to The Conversation but it is used in the case against that movie.
As a kid I was sad that the shoot out in The Untouchables wasn’t original. It was my favorite scene as an 8 year old young Morty, so when I learned it was a “homage”, I was like maaaan, DePalma, c’mon.
have you seen the stairway shootout in Naked Gun 33 1/3?

Drafting LOL
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/marty_burns/06/29/draft.grades/index.html
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/marty_burns/06/29/draft.grades2/index.html
GM John Paxson got perhaps the draft’s best prospect in Thomas while adding the big defensive guard he needed in Sefolosha and another decent prospect in Khryapa. Though Thomas doesn’t solve Chicago’s desperate need for a low-post scorer, it’s doubtful Aldridge would have done so right away either. Meanwhile, Thomas also gives Paxson a blue-chip piece for a future blockbuster trade (maybe Kevin Garnett?).
A-
With his first top-six pick since Wally Szczerbiak (1999), GM Kevin McHale opted for the playmaking abilities of Foye over the more complete skill set of Roy. Did McHale really value Foye more than he did Roy, or was it a toss-up and he just decided to save his team a little money by taking the extra $1 million in cash from the Blazers? At any rate, Foye is a Chauncey Billups-type combo guard who should help make up for the loss of Rashad McCants to a season-ending injury. In other moves, McHale landed Smith, a banger from BC, and traded Jones to the Sixers for a future second-round pick and cash. Mavrokefalidis, a 6-11 Czech center, is under contract with his Greek League team and will stay overseas or in the NBDL for development. The bottom line is that McHale had better hope that Foye turns out to be better than Roy. Otherwise he’s going to look bad again.
C
The risk for the Blazers is that Thomas or Foye may become a better player than Aldridge or Roy. If so, Portland fans will remember it and all those draft-night moves will be seen as nothing more than sound and fury signifying nothing.

New boss Michael Jordan is a gambler, so it’s not surprising that he rolled the dice on a guy who could be either a huge star or a huge bust. MJ opted for the potential “next Larry Bird” over the raw potential of Gay. After Jordan’s experience with Kwame Brown, who can blame him? Morrison is a gifted scorer who should fit well with Gerald Wallace, Emeka Okafor and Raymond Felton, and he’ll surely give the ’Cats some much-needed box office appeal. But can the ’Stache defend on the NBA level?
B+
love it
The highlight of the night for me personally was seeing Portland single handedly destroy a trade the Timberwolves and Rockets had in place (#6-Brandon Roy, for Luther Head and #8-Randy Foye) by forcing Minnesota’s hand and taking Foye a pick early at #7. That ensured that the Timberwolves had to trade arguably the 2nd best player in the draft to the Blazers for Foye and cash considerations, a move that was entirely lost on ESPN at the time but should go down as one of the most ballsy ever.
Despite the ridiculous criticism that was levied on Portland as part of the embarrassing draft night coverage provided by ESPN, the Trailblazers had a fantastic night and had every right to call it a "homerun."

What worries me a bit is that DraftExpress also says Bayless could be a Billups-style guard
Apparently lots of combos got that label yet there is just one Billups. But overall the DX draft ratings in recent years were more accurate. They gave Seattle a C for the Durant draft year by the way :)
Seattle didn’t get value for Allen and selected two players that play the same position. I still don’t understand that move.
I’m not that worried about Bayless. If he doesn’t turn out, we can always sign a point guard in a few years with the mid-level exception. There will probably be a guard who sees the rest of the roster and the glaring hole at point.
