jae

Nightbreed was on tv yesterday. It was fun to see it again, though the make up effects weren't half as good as I remembered.

that's still a classic movie and David Cronenborg rocks. One of my favorite villains

Did I tell anyone I got to see Midnight Meat Train. It was really good

finished watching Mirrors the last half hour wasn't so great but then again it had its moments.

Predator 2 wasn't better than the first movie, I couldn't even continue watching it halfway through.

Even Demolition Man was a more entertaining movie, overly silly as it was.

 

Btw, did anyone catch the Last house on the left trailer? Interesting twist to the "Innocent trapped by killers" sheme, in my opinion.

Yeah i saw it and it had nice slick polished look to it and what about the musical choice... very interesting

Assholes on bicycles who, while passing you walking, randomly look over at you and say "suck my cock, bitch!" when you were having a perfectly good day.

That's why you walk with a stick and put it into the spokes and watch them fall flat on their face.

Kenneth Olbermann.... and the mainstream media...

my roomates hygiene

people on the bus who think they can come up and ask me for a ciggie and then get incensed when i say no

people who try to take my order in any other language then english

Tourist who ask for directions than totally ignore the turn you told them to make

It was more that his vomit was splash down and not a singular stream. i felt sorry for the cat though. If it wasn't feral i would have washed it. The guy is an idiot... One night when he passes out with his door open... and I'm not going to say anything so I won't incriminate myself

Is Brick as good as it looks?

Is beer good? lol

I saw Atonement and loved how everyhting worked so well in the movie from the timing and pacing to systematic tink of the typewriter.

Davince Code was rather bland although it did have a nice musical score.

Rented the Good shepard for tonight though, hopefully it will be interesting

I just saw the trailer for last on the left remake....

I would have speculated it would be Friday, or Thank God its Friday. Apparently its simply Wilt, after Wilt Chamberlain, the basketball player who while playing for the Philedelphia Warriors scored 100 Points in a single game. His jersey number was 13.

 

He also reportedly slept with 2300 women, roughly the length of 100 Bullets in pages.

It's actually 20,000 women he said but I can see the correlation...

Fucking brilliant naming of the series. I was looking at on Amazon and I was like Wilt? and soon released who they were referring too. I need to run down to the dinky rack this weekend and pick up dirty although I heard its on 4 issues and was thinking to get them together. But you need to read the story of the 100 point game though it's amazing....

I just watched a guy puke off a balcony and onto a cat....

I still see it taking a load of time to get made and Sam Mendes is at his best when creating aspects of American Life; whereas, in Road to Perdition, Mendes softened the story and added a Jude Law's character but then the major problem everyone had with the movie was you couldn't attach yourself to the characters. Wherein, A History of Violence movie albeit different from the graphic novel works because the audience is more involved with the characters.

and a few overdone cliches in the movie.

 

That's an under-stated version of my view of the film.

Bits in the woods = success.

Bits in the scummy working class northern township = massive non-success.

 

In summary: OHMYGODTHOSETERRIBLECHAVSAREGOINGTOBECHEEKYTOMYWIFE!

I definitly concur with you at all points... The ending was completly ludicrous. And I'm sorry at some point at being chased and tortured fight and flight comes on in high mode.

let me fix the link so you can see it...

i wont hide it just click or copy and paste

Eden Lake finally came out for rental over here in the colonies... It was brutal and effective but there are some gaping plotholes and a few overdone cliches in the movie.

I finally saw Death Wish and found it to be quite interesting and when you read about the movie and do researxh you find that people applauded whenever Bronson killed a bad guy in the movie.

the little warts over at coming soon are threatening a boycott of Fox if they delay they movie... I could really care less if it comes out I probably won't go see and then maybe I might... since the last film I saw in the theater was the dark knight and before that it was the proposition...

it's mainly a synopsis, a summary of executions, if you will. a who's alive and who's dead and who the fuck was that type thing. i culled the 411 from the unofficial 100 bullets site and wiki. wiki was further along than the site was.

Do not spoil the thread. or I will set furrber upon you

I haven't picked up any titles in ages and probably going to keep it that way for awhile but I don't think Vertigo is going to start any new projects with all the dismal ones they had over the past few years

I made a commercial on youtube for the webchat site that I'm on...

its just a really stupid thing really but...

Predator was half and half when it was first released. My brother thought it was mind numbing and one of his friends loved it and told me everything about it. So I can understand hagren's point of view on the movie.

I'm like that with the Warren Beatty flick Reds... I thought it was nothing but hour of him and Diane keaton arguing followed by a mini biopic of the guys life.

I just saw Pineapple Express It made me feel like I was high when watching it. But not the quintessantial stoner movie, they made it out to be.

I read the first one it kind of reminded me of this comic book about this cynical bastard but maybe I'm just having a bit of deja vu.... Actually I quite liked it and will read the second one when I finish reading the Baroque series

I have a lot to catch up on this thread with....

I watched Plunkett and Macleane on Hulu and found it to not as good as used to view the movie. Mainly because the story starts out with a certain weirdness and tongue and cheek and ends up being boring a droll. It's what happens when three guys right the script.

Saw Hancock and actually enjoyed a will smith film. I actually enjoyed it better than Iron Man which was a great film.

Burn after Reading was crappy and boring and you could tell the Coen brothers realized it. In how they copped out of the more ridiculous moments in the picture like John Malkovich beating up the gym club manager at the end.

Cannibal The Musical is fucking brilliant.

 

we have been watching the Masters of Horror box sets, which are overall dissapointing.

 

(The Joe Dante one is great, though.)

The second season of masters of horror is very forgettable although I did enjoy a few of them... The first season though with Larry Cohen's Pick me up was a bright spot... and I did love Argento's Pelts for the second season

I just picked up quicksilver by neal stephenson and Queen of Bedlam by robert macgammon. I'm about 50 pages into each book and both stories are fascinating

Rerented two great movies. The name of the rose and listened to the commentary by JJ Annaud which was rather interesting and watched Pale Rider. I love the ending shoot out.

Frank Black was a great character. He didn't have the nuanced method acting of House

 

Blimey. What the heck does Jae know about Hugh Laurie that we don't?

Not too much. Don't get me wrong but method acting leads to these over the top performances while most are enjoyable. I prefer a more natural style such as Edward Norton who mixes method.

As far as Carnivale being boring in the first season. I completely disagree on that John and was meant to be six seasons with a story arc over tow seasons. The third season would have seen the nature of Sophie The Omega and what here powers were to become.

Let's see... I finished the Talisman, finally, and was glad to get to the end. I tried reading Sleeping Doll and found that I cannot read Jeffrey Deaver on the bus so I'm skipped that and moved on to Imajica by Clive Barker which is holding my interest for right now. I also picked up ,In the Woods by Tania French and cant wait to start that one.

I also read this summer Stef Jenney's The Tenderness of Wolves. Brilliant novel about a murder and woman's quest to find her son with subplots throughout the narrative. It takes patience to read this one too and a keen eye due to the shift in narrators. I read a few others but there not as memorable. Oh! I finally got my hands on a copy of Fluke by James Herbert. His early stuff is a lot of fun to read.
