Huh....

PT Anderson wanting to adapt a Pynchon novel.

It might make a good flick (it's about a stoner LA detective in the 60s), but it's pretty much the only book of his I couldn't get through.

Saw an advanced screening of The Tomb with Stallone/Arnold last night. Pretty decent action flick with an over the top 80s feel. Funny how no action star nowadays can come close to captivating an audience as the old geezers from the 80. These guys can be mowing people down in wheels from the scooter store, and it would still shit on all these pretty boy faggoths Hollywood tries to push down our throats.

who is a current day action star? Statham? ... he's the only one I can think of.

Liam Neeson seems to be turning into one though ...

 

[Reign in Acai]

I actually quite like Jeremy Renner, but he doesn't have the range of bad assery of an 80s action hero.

 

[lurch70]

you mean he doesn't have charisma/personality

 

[Reign in Acai]

Nah he's decent enough, I just can't buy him being a Rambo type bad ass. He could definitely be a younger Liam Neeson though.

[refraction]

Heard of King of Kong, never saw it. Gonna look for it now though. No idea wtf Baraka is though.

 

[lurch70]

Sooooo......is it good?

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

my "top 10" always consists of 8 or 9 things i've already rated

 

[lurch70]

KILLER JOE was pretty fucking cool ... some weird black comedy, neo-noir ... McConaughey in his best role yet ... not sure about that ending though.

I am on Season 2 already can't you see?

 

[dorian gray]

Nice! The 15 year old looks pretty good

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Evil Dead remake. You can never really remake it in such a way as to recapture its original cheesiness. I think it would be an insult to Bruce Campbell to do that. But this...this looks alright in that it's a different version with less cheese and more realistic grossness.

[dorian gray]

I'll go see it

 

[lurch70]

hmm ... first half of that trailer looks like Cabin in the Woods ...
also looks like the humor is gone.

does look gory though in a Cattle Decapitation video kind of way.
