Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Re: Movies
I am just finishing "God Bless America" (thanks to ES for posting the video on FB). Holy shit.
Possibly the best dark comedic satire done since Network (maybe even better than Network). It felt Jonathan Swift could've written it. Simultaneously horrible and empathetic -- alienating. I said possibly, because maybe I read into it more than is there... Goldthwait seems to think he was saying something important.
... Not easy to watch.

At one point he says: "You know, I'm not asking people to eat Irish children, you know, that's the point..."

Re: Movies
Excellent, excellent movie. Best in a long time. Didn't care for the ending, but that's okay. Adurentibus, I think you would find it very funny/interesting.

I thought the ending was perfect, btw.
Re: Movies
you are probably the only person that didn't see it. like you said it was a fun movie.Jasper wrote:Fuck that other thread - it's not in the goddamn section that says it's for movies.
I saw this last night. It was highly rated, but I'd put off watching it because the subject matter sounded depressing and dreary. It actually turned out to be a very lean thriller that was, in a way, a lot of fun. In any case, it delivers the thrills, so if you want to categorize that as fun, then it's fun. Sometimes I like to go into a movie cold, so the following diminutive sentence could be considered a type of spoiler, if you're a person who wants to know nothing about the plot of the movie:
Liam Neeson is trying to rescue his daughter from the sex slave trade in Eurpope.
So if you like a good old school thriller that doesn't drag at all, I'd check this out (unless you're Larry who appears to violently hate Liam Neeson, or perhaps even Irish people in general - who knows).
Anybody else see this?
how can anyone hate liam neeson?
Re: Movies
I just want to know if he's as well endowed as they say he is... have heard so many jokes about it
Re: Movies
well...as jasper said he is irish and i'm sure you have heard of "the irish curse" so who knows if the rumors are true.
Re: Movies
When have I ever said that? I'd usually skip a movie with him on it, because I think he sucks... but I don't hate himJasper wrote: So if you like a good old school thriller that doesn't drag at all, I'd check this out (unless you're Larry who appears to violently hate Liam Neeson, or perhaps even Irish people in general - who knows).
A couple of days ago I saw 'Enter the Void'. Nice visual experiment, but I'd say it's a bad movie. Boring. It's 160 minutes long and the storyline could hardly be describes as a storyline.

Re: Movies
agreed on Enter the Void: so beautiful, so terrible. worth watching though.

I thought the story was really well crafted and half way through, I thought, this is a really good movie. I found the end trite, and kind of like they just ran out of ideas and thought 'well we gotta end this somehow' and that's what they came up with.
What did you get out of it?

That's David Schwimmer, Eric Avery's stunt double.

Re: Movies
I had no idea that was the cast of Friends. I do recognize Aniston but no, I've never watched Friends. I sure can't brag about being "cool" when I have every season of X-Files, Star Trek Next Generation and Seinfeld on dvd. That was pretty much the extent of the tv series I watched from the late 80's through the mid 90's.creep wrote:"the guy". are you really trying to pretend that you are that cool and has never seen friends?Pandemonium wrote:The guy 3rd from the right looks like a messed up clone of David Duchovny.Larry B. wrote:

Re: Movies
I saw exactly one episode of Friends, and that was all I needed to confirm that it was a vile piece of garbage targeted at cubical-dwelling drones.
Hype was pretty young at the time, so maybe we can overlook the fact that he dearly loves the show (and Bush), but old man creep has no such excuse for counting Friends as his all-time favorite.
