I watched Caligula the other day.

Take a bad movie with overpaid, quality actors doing horrid work, put them in sets stripped down to the bare bones due to budget cuts, and then splice in hardcore pornography every 15 to 45 seconds for several seconds at a time, including some of the grossest double-female muff-diving I've ever seen + manblowjobs (the unattractive kind). It wasn't even trainwreck fun. Just plain bad.

Which Oscar did that guy get anyway? Right as it ended I was thinking to myself that, although his character was crucial, I didn't think he really acted enough to get an Oscar. Then that woman muttered what she muttered

Best Director Joel and Ethan Coen
Best Picture Scott Rudin, Joel and Ethan Coen
Best Screenplay - Adapted Joel and Ethan Coen
Best Supporting Actor Javier Bardem


I guess that best supporting actor guy was him

hahaha I totally fell for it until about the 3 minute mark.

So i watched "Sunshine" and i feel complete. Gave me a touch from the overall feeling that "The Fountain" transcended to me (don't really know why though - different material) so that means a lot.

yes, it was really good. I don't know why but from the reviews I was expecting some "alien" to show up towards the end and ruin it ... am glad it was not the case.

people complained about the last 1/3 of the movie, but I thought the message and delivery was great and certainly open to a lot of discussion.

amazing special effects without making it look CGI at all ... almost a throwback to old school Sci-Fi

i watched "children of men" last night, way more violent than i expected...pretty damn good though

i'm having a motherfucker of a time typing this, i have a brace for my left wrist cuz i fucked it up at the impaled/splatterhouse show on saturday, as well as bloodying my nose on the back of some dude's head due to an ill-timed headbanging accident

Finally saw No Country for Old Men. Liked it. Very good move. And obviously, Javier Bardem was amazing. Perhaps I was expecting too much. But I didn't think it was an all-time classic. Perhaps I need to watch again.

Been watching this american movie "Notorious Betty Page" today. About her life story and all. Completely changed my opinion about her. I used to dislike her. Now I know she's not a person I thought she was.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

Which dvd shall I watch? The Big Lebowski, Big Fish, Dog Soldiers, or The Goonies?

 

[dill_the_devil]

The Big Lebowski ftw.

 

[Demilich]

2nded.

What is up with The Goonies? I never heard of it, but someone from my dad's work just randomly lent it to him one day and we haven't watched it yet. Good shit?

Watched American Psycho the other day for the third time. Man, that movie rules.
Evelyn: *sobbing* "Where are you going?"
Patrick: *pauses* "To return some videos."

bwahahahaha

DOG SOLDIERS

[Tide In Mind Out]

2nded.

What is up with The Goonies? I never heard of it, but someone from my dad's work just randomly lent it to him one day and we haven't watched it yet. Good shit?

You've never heard of THE GOONIES? :zombie:

Fix that ASAP. You haven't been a child of the 80's until you've attempted to eat a Baby Ruth Sloth-style.

TRUFFLE SHUFFLE

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

So I watched none of those. I ended up falling asleep.

 

[~Neurotica]

Watched during weekend:
An American Haunting - what an utter piece of shit.
Corpse Bride - it's okay... pity that the corpse bride was actually prittier and nicer than the alive chick who won in the end.
D-War - Maaaan... One of the shittiest shits I've ever seen, seriously.

watched "tapeheads" with john cusack and tim robbins last nite. started out promising, didn't deliver.

 

[Krilons Resa]

watched High Tension with a bunch of peeps....eeh i dunno

 

[dill_the_devil]

High Tension was okay, while it carried on ripping off the plot of Dean Koontz's novel 'Intensity' wholesale - then that cheap-ass twist ending came along, and utterly derailed the entire movie.

Just finished watching the 172-minute unrated edition of American Gangster. It's a testament to the quality of the movie that, even after watching it for nigh on three hours, I could easily have sat and watched more had it continued. I think Ridley Scott is now indisputably my favourite director.
