Movies

Just downloaded Fritz Lang's two Niebelungen flims "Siegfrieds Tod" and "Kriemhilds Rache". They're over eighty years old, silent and looks so damn awesome :kickass:

Bourne Ultimatum ruled supreme .... have at home but did not yet see ... but the general reviews agree with yours

Hostel II was surprisingly solid .... yeah, not bad although it did drag a bit

Superbad is overrated ... no fucking way ... better than Knocked Up, which takes the overrated title ... 40 year old virgin is still the winner from the team involved in these.

Paprika was disappointing ... what's this?

Derailed I dont even remember this coming out. Pretty good. Has a great twist that I never saw coming.
 
I wasn't expecting much from Idiocracy but I found it absolutely hilarious. Why the hell didn't Fox market the shit out of this?

Really? I watched it for a bit (with high expectations) and was bored to death. I only hung in for about 20 minutes...maybe I need to give it another shot.
Idiocracy is not a good movie, if you are watching it like a regular movie. It must be watched for the subtle jokes, and if done properly, the brilliance is revealed. Part of me thinks the editing was just bad, but another chunk thinks Mike Judge did that on purpose to prove a point.

As for why it was not marketed: if Americans understood half of what that movie lays forth, most large corporations would go bankrupt within hours because nobody would put up with their huckstering any longer. Maybe I'm giving too much credit to the average dullard, but I do believe that.

Have fun:

Derailed, Idiocracy and Balls of Fury are all on my want to see list. Idiocracy is on HBO OnDemand so might check it tonight.

What's Santa Sangre about?
 
Would be feeble to put a vast story of two different time periods in one sentence, it will also be full of spoilers (at least it is that way in the IMDB plot summary that was going to copy/paste - tells you more than half of the story). Long story short: young man tries to cope with childhood traumas and their impact on his current life, but like in "Transformers" there's always more than meets the eye. On the dvd i have it is described like "Fellini meets Freud" or something, it is very fellinistic, it is a huge character study, then again it is very surreal, symbolic and abstract too. Well basically this is the Fellini part.
 
sounds interesting, kind of Sold on it ... the imdb description makes it sound really bizarre though.
