He was Nightmare on Elm Street? Don't mind iice, Vesc. She's married to half of Hollywood. ![]() |
Get over Johnny? Why would I want to? I didn't notice him in the 90s. There were too many matinee idols and muscle-bound action figures who stole your heart with the thunder of bullets and perfect dropkicks. ![]() |
Can't blame a gal for tryin. He's divine. @Spiked LOL at that film buff colleague of yours. ![]() |
You wanted 24-hour programming? Guess they assumed everyone was at work or school till 4pm. |
iice:Like you'd release any, even if there were a hundred of them. ![]() But seeing you're in a generous mood can I have Depp? @Spiked I haven't seen the darned thing either.Just watched a bit and got bored. Doesn't sound like you missed much |
Hammer House of Horror! British and yet, terrifying.That lie lie A Team. 'BOSS' will lock them up in a barn filled only with hay and nails and donkeys and the next thing they have manufactured a tractor from those ingredients. Best lie-lie team of the 80s. ![]() |
Karma! You sly thing! Why on earth are you Dereloaded now? At least it wasn't KarmaReloaded. ![]() His acting in Pursuit was really great. I wasn't at all surprised he got an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. What happened to this guy? Time was anything he starred in tickled. So he was bent on saving the world most of the time,but at least he showed you a good time. The Wachowski Brothers even offered him the role of Neo in the Matrix,but he turned it down. iice:And you say the movie isn't stupid? His EYES?Ohh. No wonder he was haranguing an unconvincingly blind Harrelson at the start. Keep piling em up you polyandrous weirdo. ![]() |
Wow. ![]() iice, two tongues abi? May brein find diamonds in soils of Nigeria and cut those tongues with them. |
His performance in Pursuit didn't impress you? I mean, really? iice:Dreadful-sounding plot. Did he kill the seven that died or what? His seven pounds of flesh?He divides himself into seven pieces for seven people or what? The whole thing sounds stupid. And take your claws out of Shreiber. How many guys already? Leave something for other women na. Ah-han! |
And to think I almost skipped peeping into this thread. I don laugh tire.Vesc you villain! I stopped feeling guilty about teasing you on the 80s thing pronto. Dereloaded[i] so[/i] reminds me of Karma. It's uncanny. ![]() |
You and Shreiber again? Will Smith is halfway to losing me as a fan. The only reason I keep an eye on his movies is to catch another performance like The Pursuit of Happyness.Doesn't look like it'll happen. Gimme the skinny on Seven Pounds so I know what happened without punishing my eyeballs. |
phantom:You want Vesc to vex abi? I remember Jimi Odumosu's tv serials.Guy made the only naija horror to scare me as a kid:Evil Encounters. I think he also made Fiery Force. LTV 8 & Channel 5 made your screen dreams come true. Other channels did not exist. You ever saw Man in a Briefcase, Randall and Hopkins,The Professionals, Hawaii 5-0 and the rest? ![]() |
You're still banned from watching that movie. Caught a few minutes of Defiance. Shreiber had the the accent down pat.Craig struggles with his. I tried really hard to watch Seven Pounds,but kept getting bored. It doesn't really look promising and I'm done watching shitty movies. |
Why was he keeping those long fingernails? I didn't get that part. |
vescucci:Um, er, Because you weren't there? ![]() Soooo. You missed out on Uncle Gaga, Muppet Show,Danger Mouse, Voltron,Atom Ant, Blue Falcon,Shmoo and Terrahawks. Don't worry honey. Just start a Sesame Street thread with iice. I know you saw that one. ![]() |
vescucci:You're right. SORRY! |
He might have left because he was guilty. He might have left because he had a shady past where he'd been guilty of those things and it would convict him now, though he was innocent this time around. He might have been guilty. He might also have been innocent. Each sister represents each facet.He explains all his actions,including the shirt. He might have been lying. He might have been telling the truth.That's the import of Streep's powerful final words, and why the movie ends with those words. They pull the rug of certainty from under your feet, and leave you with doubt. He was sleeping with boys at the school?You really think a movie would be nominated for Best Picture for belabouring the obvious? |
That was putting it nicely?He-he. He might have assaulted little boys in the past,but in the case of the black boy he might have been innocent; he might have been trying to help the boy,exactly as he'd told the other sister,who believed him. But if Streep made a case against him his past would convict him and he'd be found guilty. So he opts to give in and leave instead. When Streep breaks down and confesses she had doubts, she meant he might have been innocent, not of his past misdemeanors,but of the one she accused him of. You thought he was guilty? It's likely, but I wasn't sure anymore after Streep confessed her doubt. |
Oh he'll definitely end up with one of those. Lab-tested board-certified professional asshole that he is. |
Oh yeah. Bad fairy .I was hooked from the first minute. Yeah, I liked Chicago. My fav number was Queen Latifah's actually. But Moulin Rouge revived a moribund musical genre, and is fantastically unique. How could Chicago win Best Picture when Moulin could not,when the latter inspired every musical after itself.There was method in Moulin's madness. Unrewarded genius grieves me. Finally saw Doubt. Good movie. Very good dialogue: Meryl's scene with the black mother is delicious. The end came out of nowhere and I was like,wth? Perfect title; after being borne along on Streep's tide of unshakable certainty the movie leaves you with nothing but. SPOILERS BELOW O! |
iice:iice Depp Viggo Mortensen you are hereby sentenced to NEVER watching Moulin Rouge. You will henceforth watch Mummy 3 and Transporter 3 and Home Alone 3 and Herbie 3 and George Clooney as Batman. Bailif, take her away. |
spikedcylinder:LOL! You're crazy I swear. Vesc, where did you see Karma o? You saw both Chicago and Moulin Rouge? Didn't it piss you off Chicago got Best Picture and Rouge didn't? DeReloaded: ![]() Singing in the Rain? West Side Story? All those great old musicals? Rent ko, purchase ni. Moulin is King. Deal with it. ![]() |
annoyed: |
Yeah, the yeye gal was just silly eye candy. LeBouf keeps impressing me though. And to think the guy never went to acting school. Liked that 'car' of his: correct Transformer guy,totally in tune with the boy's horniness and trying to help. Ewan Macgregor is the central character, leaving a privileged existence to become a penniless writer in pursuit of Freedom, Beauty,Truth and Love in the absinthe-soaked Bohemian quarters of Paris. Words cannot capture Baz Luhrmann's genius here, and I will NEVER forgive the Oscars that this movie did not get Best Picture. Please watch it. It's demented and funny and heartbreaking and uplifting, and unlike anything you've ever seen before. spikedcylinder:Sure. They're different movies and excellent in different ways. Must see that Doubt today. kadman:Really?Why'd you think so? |
Supernatural: intriguing storyline,seriously crappy dialogue,even crappier editing.Did sophomore film majors put this gig together or what? And the father with his lacklustre Pete Edochie acting. |
DeReloaded:I left them to it o. Will see the movie today. ![]() @Spiked Doubt was nominated for Best Picture,right?Is it better than Slumdog? @iice You compare Sweeney Todd to Moulin Rouge? The horror. Maybe my brothers can recall Transfomers cartoons.I cant.Megan Fox didn't seem capable of existing without pouting or parting her lips in the movie. She got the Jolie thing down so pat they offered her Tomb Raider 3.You sound like you still play with those Transformers toys. Do you? ![]() |
Will watch Doubt today then. Male creatures are all over my living room defiling my screen with Prisonbreak. Scofield's older brother is the fakest,most unconvincing tv actor I've ever seen.His younger brother shoulda let his overacting,untalented ass rot in jail. |
No.I watched Voltron,G-Force,Fraggle Rock,Terrahawks,Speed the Racer,etc ![]() iice, PLEASE watch[i] Dogville[/i] and Moulin Rouge. I know you hate musicals,but each of those two movies is an absolute masterpiece. Moulin Rouge is unforgettable. I promise you won't be sorry. Soooo.You watch Jet Li movies,abi? I was sort of enjoying The Forbidden Kingdom until the ass appeared. ![]() |
Specifics would be nice. Still,you know all this how? What are your sources, if you don't mind my asking?The power of God controls evolution.Hmmm.The thought that a species might have evolved mechanisms to deal with and adapt to its environment disturbs me not at all. But that's as far as I go with evolution. I don't believe human beings evolved from some industrious single-celled organism. Did we evolve a spirit as well? You believe God created man by evolution, don't you? All the unsolved mysteries of science will be solved if science goes beyond studying the manifestation of Nature but also studies the power that is the manifestation and makes the manifestation possible in the first place. How on earth can science study the power that makes the manifestation possible in the first place? Physics studies the interactions of energy with matter,biology studies the minute processes of life and death, and chemistry studies the chemical properties of substances. Most scientist don't even believe in the existence of a 'power'. The Grail Message's sort of your holy book, isn't it? I mean, in the sense of a publication that outlines one's religious beliefs. I mentioned I read it in my teens. Some parts were very intriguing, others were patently unconvincing.I only have dim recall. But I vaguely recollect the author lectures you but cites few sources and authorities himself. He teaches but appears to expect one to take his word for it,on a number of issues. I'm not sure any man has the right to demand so much of others. I read someplace we only use 10% or so of our brain.I amuse myself imagining what the other whopping 90% is capable of. Superhuman feats that are superhuman only because they'd be new, but if we'd been using a 100% per cent all along, would be pedestrian? Sometimes I think there are aspects of the unaccesed 90% that would enable us to plainly see and interact with the spirit world. Perhaps synapses misfired and some 'insane' people were merely pushed into unknown brain territory. After all, 'sanity' and 'insanity' are slippery concepts. Carl Jung, who knew first hand there's a spirit world because he experimented so much with it, wrote Psychology and the Occult. He made a remarkable statement: That some of his personal, very real and solid experiences of the spirit world is dark matter found only in the insane, the stuff of psychosis. I'm digressing. What are your thoughts on aliens and UFOs? Do you think were the only form of 'life' in the universe?Perhaps there's life out there that isn't carbon based. You know, life forms stranger than anything we can imagine. The Bible didn't say humans were the only beings he made,and the universe is certainly large enough. We only know the tiniest fraction of the Milky Way,our galaxy. There are untold billions of galaxies in the universe. Is there some unfallen race out there? Are there fallen races that float like balloons and exist on, oh I don't know, wooficus biscuits? Would they need salvation too? Of course you can't say for sure. Or can you? But your thoughts would be nice. |
@Vesc Schneider's only mildly amusing.Early Devito was freaking hilarious though. Ruthless People's a classic. ![]() @iice Only saw Transformers recently. Had a surprisisngly good time until those car things started to talk. Dialogue went downhill from there.Don't hurt the humans. Don't hurt a hair on their precious heads . Lame. Except for Labeouf's car, the villains were way cooler. I cannot believe you placed Kidman in the same category as Biel. @Spiked Have you seen any of these movies? Which are the good ones?No spoilers o. Australia, Doubt, Defiance, The International,Marley and Me,Valkyrie. |
iice:I only liked Wedding Singer. His movies are so bleeding sanctimonious and maudlin. I like laid back, easy going Wilson. Can you believe I first came across Torturo in O Brother Where Art Thou? Haven't seen him in any comedy since. |
