Don't quit your gay job.

Wow! I was glad you had a gun in there. For a second, I actually thought you could do that, like it was some big gay thing.

Badly is an adverb. So to say you feel badly would be saying that the mechanism which allows you to feel is broken.

Who taught you grammar? Get out. Vanish.

Don't worry, I saw Lord of the Rings. I'm not going to end this 17 times.

You're an idiot. You know that. You know, if you looked in the dictionary next to the word "idiot", you know what you'll find?

A picture of me?

No! The definition of the word "idiot". Which you are.

Well, for starters, she's been fucked more times than she's had a hot meal.

Yeah, I heard about that. It was neck-and-neck and then she skipped lunch.

Still gay?

No, knee-deep in pussy. I just love the name so much I can't get rid of it.

So what do you do for a living?

Uh, I'm retired. I invented dice when I was a kid.

It's like someone took America by the East Coast and shook it, and all the normal girls managed to hang on.

Fuck, this is bad narrating. Like my dad telling a joke. "Oh, wait back up. I forgot to tell you the cowboy rode a blue horse."

Wow, I feel sore. I mean physically, not like a guy who's angry in a movie in the 1950's

It used to be more of a movie store, but they have such a large selection, there's not much of a store now. It's like netflix, but you walk up and tell them what you want, and they go get it. They only have about 5,000 cases on display, so it's not a big browsing store.

And they have a little 100 seat screen in the back. And they have classes.

August 30th they're starting kamp katrina, a verite doc about a woman who opens her yard to people who lost their homes in Katrina. It played at SXSW, won best doc at IFFBoston. It'll play here next year. I'm trying to get them to sign that and their previous movie with Cinema Obscura.

So, it's great, but, it is fairly depressing.

The Son by Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne

i saw this movie on stylus's list of the best films of 2000-2005 and decided to give it a try. it's about a guy who works with teenagers who just got out of jail. one of his new students turns out to be someone who killed his son and went to jail for it.
very interesting camera work in this film. it's often very close to people's faces and gives the movie a certain feel of anxiety. that was probably my favourite thing about that film. but overall it wasn't that great.

not waking up hungover the last couple of weekends gives me all kinds of time to watch movies in the daytime

heading out to see Superbad in a bit.

zodiac was incredible, saw it last night.

superbad was pretty funny, saw it last week, will probably watch it again.

Better than Children of Men.

what the fuck. Glad this is about 80 minutes because I'll need to watch it at least two more times.

Ha, fuck yeah.

I'm going to get it from Netflix again some time. I was too lazy to rewatch it the next day. Gotta see that shit again, though.

This thread makes me need to see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang again. Like, immediately. Well, tomorrow.

wasn't worth watching

Didn't I warn you?

oh well

The italo disco scene was hilarious, though.

there was a girl with big breasts which was very nice too.

Be Here To Love Me

I saw this yesterday for the first time:


Just watched this one:

slackmo and paves posting upthread makes me feel like rethinking kiss kiss bang bang as being better than i remember it.

It's a funny movie. Like Zero Effect, it's a mainstream film sadly destined for not much more than cult status. And yeah, the whole "I know this is a movie" narration might seem a bit obvious and played-out, but man, is it just a massively entertaining, endlessly quotable little film.

Native american Joe Pesci.

I think it's about accurately rated, a second life on internet message boards is about what I feel it deserves

It's also got a pretty compelling/entertaining commentary track featuring Black, Kilmer and Downey.

In a sick way, the scene with the girls in the car was the best one.

how was it? i want to watch it, cos i really like capote.

It was excellent. Philip Seymour Hoffman was fantastic. I recommend it, Artem.

Seconded-- the rest of the film isn't that great, but Hoffman's performance is so good it really doesn't matter.

I'd still probably rank it as one of my favorite movies of the last 2 years. It only gets better upon repeat viewings, and whoever recommended the commentary track upthread is spot on. Normally I get bored with those, but Kilmer, Downey and Black have great chemistry.

It's the kind of film that I watch, and get dumbfounded that "Wild Hogs" can gross $100 mil+ while KKBB is relegated to cult status. I mean KKBB is a smart movie, but it's no subtitled fellini flick...and it still has a ton of action, tits, humor, and gay jokes. How is that film not making money?

In a semi-related note, I started watching In Cold Blood the other day (gotta rent it again to finish it). Pretty radical script for its time, I think. Pre-psycho Robert Blake is compelling.

It probably has to do w/ demographics. How many young people pay to see movies w/ middle-aged leads?

Stardust

Hey - this is surprisingly good. I'd call it the sleeper hit of the summer. It doesn't waste time with a lot of setup, just launches into the story full-steam ahead. Excellent performances all around, solid effects + photography. All in all, a genuinely good adaptation of Neil Gaiman's fascinating fairy tale. Made me feel like a kid again, goin' to the movies on a Sunday afternoon with Mom.

Do you mean today or back then? Travolta was in his mid 20s and Newton John was in her late 20s.

Wow. It is indeed suprising to see the word "good" in a sentence describing that film. I haven't seen it, but the previews made it look horrific. Is De Niro as poorly cast here as he appears to be?

inside man

I guess to sum it all up there's major issues with the plot. devisive moments where characters are drudged around to literally extend little to nothing about the circumstance and in the end it sort of just leaves off pretty much where it began. stuff happens and people move on.

most of the performances are pretty good. spike continues to plug his favorite tracking-dolly shot and the soundtrack was probably more deserving of a more put together thriller because this one was really no big thrill.

I'd call it the sleeper hit if it had been a hit, but it's bricking hard. DeNiro's supposed to be great in it, though. Glad to hear it's worth the time.

I keed. But Stockard Channing was 34 fer petessake.

Johnny Depp is 43.

I dunno about the "bricking hard" thing - the film's been out for almost 3 weeks now and the theater was pretty full on a Sunday night. Hot Fuzz (another entertaining-yet-offbeat film) only lasted 2 weeks out here in Vegas, and I totally expected Stardust to do the same. Guess the word-o-mouth's getting around. Expect big DVD sales around Xmas.

Yo, raumschwein: DeNiro is hilarious in his role. Everyone does a great job, actually.

It's made $26 million in three weeks, including this past week's pull of $4M. It'll be lucky to pull $35M in its U.S. release, and it cost $70M to make. That's bricking hard.

Keira Knightley is 22.
