Bullshit about Movies

[Murfish]

Did you seriously just take that from me? Today has been a series of unfortunate decisions for you.

 

[Mr. TM]

Ill give it to you for 17,000,000 rep points.

 

[Murfish]

No, but I will let you wallow in your own personal sea of bad choices.

 

[Mr. TM]

I shall call it...

The North Sea.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

Hey, TM!!! You and Will are not allowed in this thread!

 

[Mr. TM]

why not?!

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

You stole Mer-man's coveted 1,000th post, and Will has horrible taste in movies, although he works in a video store. I'm pretty sure Murfish will let your transgression slide eventually.

 

[Murfish]

Bad taste in movies...

at least that's why I think Will isn't allowed in...

 

[Mr. TM]

Hmm, maybe my taste in movies is bad... turns on Diary of the Dead.

 

[Murfish]

X could have taken it. He posts here more than I do anyway.

Five hours of exile, TM.

All right, here are the bad boys I have lined up for the rest of the week:

Five Deadly Venoms
Hardware
Zabriskie Point
Dobermann
Malena
Opera

Absolutely love this. Only seen it once, and it was well over 10 years ago, but there's some stuff I remember vividly, like the iron maiden scene.

 

[X]

Well I'm about to go see Funny People. I'll let you guys know what I thought when I get back.

 

[X]

Just came back. Funny People wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be, but it was still very, very good. I think I'll write up a proper review for my review thread (which I've been totally slacking on for about a week+ now).

Everyone was great though. The back-and-forth between Hill, Schwartzman, and Rogen was pitch perfect, and my god Aubrey Plaza is simply stunning.

 

[Murfish]

500 Days of Summer was awesome.

I expected somewhere between mediocrity and good from Funny People, so I was pleasantly surprised.

 

[X]

I'd go see (500) Days of Summer, but I don't feel like driving 45 minutes away. I hear it's good, but is it 45-minute drive good?

 

[Murfish]

I made a 35 minute drive to the 'local' indy theater on one of the most annoying roads in existence. I thought that was well worth it, so yes.

The nearest theater to me is about 10 minutes away.

 

[Mr. TM]

about to watcdh some hack em up movie. Cant remember what it is called. Just finishe revolutionary road.

 

[X]

Are you drunk TM?

Havin' a tumbler myself.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Killin natzi's. soon.

 

[rony31]

Killin natzi's. soon.

Cant wait for that shit.

X: I didn't really enjoy Funny People. It had its moments and you could tell it was one of those touchy-feely type movies for the most part, but in the end it just felt awkward. That and it really didn't need to be 2.5 hours long.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

Has anyone else seen this bad boy?

I had heard rave reviews about it for a long time, but I still don't know what to think of it 24 hours removed from watching it (this is probably a sign of its greatness in my eyes). Anyway, I wasn't hot on this director's other film (Dust Devil), and, at the very least, I found Hardware to be a much more satisfying experience.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Yeah, came out on DVD last month.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

Has anyone here heard of Maladolescenza? I've never been able to find out whether or not it's banned here in the US (it has simulated sex between young teenagers); but, Pretty Baby showed a fully-nude, 12 year-old Brooke Shields, and that's legal here. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[X]

I'm fairly certain it's legal in the US Tdigs. The only place you could probably find it online are sites like iOffer though. Not exactly a readily available film.

Am I allowed to call you a filthy pervert now?

 

[NSL]

Has anyone here seen A Scanner Darkly? I saw it once, about a year ago. I remember the story from it, but not too much else. I'm thinking about giving it a second viewing, to see what I missed the first time, but don't know if I want to sit through it again...
