A Linkin Park thread!
I'm gone!

Are you going to watch it on a computer Max? 

The cinematography is way too great to be kept on a computer screen. 

If you want, you could put the downloaded result on a DVD-R/DVD+R 

I'll do as you suggest, karma, and convert to DVD first. It's pretty hard waiting till evening and not sneaking a look.
iice, you LOTR fanatic, you!

@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.

Wow, its a party in here.

@Mad Max

Kirstie Alley

I first saw her in Star trek, then All the Look Whos Talking installments

Village of the Damned too,

Her TV work, Veronicas Closet, Cheers. . .

She is funny, smart. . .

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.

She's creepy. I think she's half alien

WHAT THE!!!   

Sure, we are all part alien of some sort!

Not so fast,

you didnt say why you liked them o

Lol

Am I supposed to? I'll take 2 pages if I do that

I can't believe it.
I spent hours agonising which had to go between TOY STORY and The Sixth Sense,to make room in my TOP TWENTY for this movie.
PAN'S LABYRINTH is breathtaking.A wondrous marvel, one world a beautiful,distorted,dark,magical mirror of the other.
The movie works and is so great on so many levels,from the music to the directing to the script to the costumes, I don't know where to begin.
HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW did THIS not win Best Foreign Language film? It's an amazing movie in ANY language, and it's impossible for any movie to have beaten it in that category. It's so good, so skilfully done, that within minutes I forgot I was reading subtitles, and was swept away. When it ended we couldn't talk,it was so bloody fantastic an experience.

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.

Im so glad you loved it I was teary eyed by the end. Mercedes' lullaby didnt helps matter either lol

I was VERY annoyed that it didnt win esp for best score. It won best cinematography/makeup/art direction but i be it should have done better than that. Should have swept the awards sef

Did you get to watch it on a DVD-R?

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.

Bruce Willis just saved someone's life in India. Yes. The best actor of all time came to the mind of a tourist at gunpoint, he remembered Die Hard, and acted accordingly and it saved his life.
Bruce Willis you're the greatest. Ignore The Bitch Called Demi and move on and on and on. She was never the star you are.

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

The senor,he ees makin de joke?
A Fish Called Wanda
The Bitch called Demi?
It's really pretty funny.
But mebbe I'm wrong.

How did he save a life, the tourist made like John Maclaine?How o?
The best actor of all time? Bruce Willis?
Vesc, how've you been?
Karma, this movie has joined my major Oscar peeves. I'm mollified it won cine,makeup and art direction, but then all I can think is, is that bloody all? It should've gotten[i] at least[/i] a nomination for best screenplay and won in other categories,like score and directing. Yes. It's fantastically assured directing. Man, what a movie.

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!

Thanks for recommending this.

You;re welcome

He made another movie last winter called "The Orphanage" also in Spanish. Pretty great movie. I really liked it. You can check that out too

Didnt you just love the score?

Have you seen Curse Of The Golden Flower

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.

How did I embarrass Bruce Willis? You don't own him. He's my best actor. Please get out.

Mad_max have you watched Tropic Thunder? It's a Ben Stiller film. Funny. What is vulgar about Knocked up and 40 year old virgin?Very very funny films

Watch Angelina Jolie in The Changeling. You will not be sorry. She's now the highest paid actress in Hollywood. Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts and others have their pay falling.
