A Linkin Park thread!
I'm gone!

@Max, your quote is too accurate. You memorize conversation in movies?

Well, I don't know for sure. As in I can't say I recall the words but words like that only make an impression on you if the film was great. The words are in some kind of prose. So I'd say LOTR. The cursed king said something about the fair passing on and the miserable lingering when he was burying someone. But he didn't speak these words. They're probably a woman's. Probably spoken to Aragorn (who else).

It could be from another historical fantasy but I'll stick my head out here.

Tilda Swinton

Is the flavor of the month!

Here is a Write up by Walter Kirn on meeting her,

The movie was based on a novel I’d written, Thumbsucker, about my agonizing adolescence. The director invited me to suburban Oregon to spend a few days on the set. There, I met the woman playing my mother: the Oscar-winning British actress Tilda Swinton. She instructed me to call her Tilda and invited me to her trailer for a chat.

She struck me at first as less than stunning. Her skin was pale, as though sun had never touched it; she was wearing a costume of homely nurse’s scrubs; and her short red hair was dyed a mousey brown. We sat across a small table drinking coffee and talking about our love lives (I was going through a divorce), and I couldn’t believe how comfortable I was. Tilda was a Hollywood leading lady—the first one I’d ever been alone with. I should have been too awestruck to lift my cup.

But the awe didn’t take long to set in. Fifteen minutes into the conversation, Tilda’s unorthodox glamour overwhelmed me. Her pallor turned luminous. And because she lacked the curves and cleavage of the stereotypical female star, there was nothing to distract me from her assured, refined intelligence, which was the sexiest thing about her. In even her most ordinary gestures—raising her coffee cup, patting her pockets to find a ringing cell phone—there was a magnetic elegance. She moved the way thought moves, with a quiet fluidity. Her beauty was pure, unobstructed, metaphysical. But it had a physical effect. By the time the director called Tilda onto the set, my head was swarming with inappropriate fantasies whose moral saving grace was that they featured my movie mother, not the woman who’d given birth to me.


 

WHAT THE!!!   

Sure, we are all part alien of some sort!

Not so fast,

you didnt say why you liked them o

So that's Alley. She doesn't seem to be in movies anymore.
Tilda again? You guys must just loooove this woman.

Diving Bell's a true story.
PAN's is fantastic. Now watching Hustle, which is good.

Indeed I deed. Great idea. Too, I don't know to else to put it, too big to be contained in a PC. I honestly don't know about the oscars anymore, if this movie cannot win best foreign language film. What's the basis for the other film winning, then? It's one of those rare movies you experience,and not merely watch. And it's joined my Top 20 all time list. Thanks for recommending this.

You'd do well to refrain from derogatory language here, please. Thank you.

Mama Mia. I'vebeen quite good but I'm not so thrilled by the prospect of the next few days coming up. How've YOU been? Plus where? Forget that dude. He was embarassing Willis who happens to be a favorite of mine. Seems like Pan's Labyrinth made a great impression on you. You used to see things when you were a kid, Max? Tell the truth!

No I haven't seen the curse of the golden flower. Title sounds like something Jet Li would do. Or the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon girl, the one who leaps off the mountain at the end. I forget her name. Is it good?
Hmm. Definitely checking out The Orphanage. PAN's score was great. It should have won the oscar for that. But after being cheated at Best Foreign Language I guess they may strip it of score too. Asses.

Ja, Vesc. I used to see you. 
What's up with the next few days?
I've a project with a deadline, and it is so eating into my me time.

Curse of the Golden Flower. I think I may have it at home somewhere. Will check it out.
After I'm done with Bruce Lee. Kung-Fu thursday.
Ya-ow!
Ka-pow!
Eeeiii-yah!

Which reminds me. That mad Stephen Chow who made Shaolin Soccer and Kung-fu Hustle, isn't he making movies anymore?

CJ7.
I like the guy a lot, so I will be seeing it.
Green Hornet? Seth Rogan? I'm drawing blanks. What are those?

Oh.
Ah.
Ew.
Knocked Up and 40-year old virgin I've seen, ane they aren't my kind of comedy. Too vulgar. I don't mind vulgarity if the movie's really funny, like Scary Movie 1, but those aren't all that funny.
Kung-fu Hustle 2? He's madly talented. He doesn't need to get on the part 2,part 3 bandwagon until he bores people to death. Though I can't imagine that guy boring anyone. A comic genius, really.
