    Yeah. It felt like he had a good idea but when it was put to film, it kind of stunk.

    I just finished The Game, and...
    srsly?
    I think I'll start Primer here in a bit.

    I mean, come the fuck on. I'd almost buy it until the cab thing. Nigga shoulda died then.
    The production, direction, acting, etc... as always with Fincher, was excellent.

    Yup. I'm not sure I understood it at the end (will definitely rewatch someday), but it's interesting.

    It was after the halfway point. Either way, it was just ridiculous. Putting his life in that much risk was just insane. Or what if he had decided to jump onto the street like a normal person? There's just too much left to chance for that to be even 5% practical.

    Le Mans - Have only seen a little bit of it but am gonna start it over and watch all the way through tonight. Without having seen really any of it I give it a 5 because it could be the worst movie ever made but it would still be better than Arthur because it stars Steve McQueen.
    Office Space - 8
    Arthur [or whatever it was called] - 3
    Thor - 5
    The Great Escape - 10

    I refuse to watch Dear Zachary because Hardball is the only movie that has ever made me tear up and I want to keep it that way.

    Cedar Rapids - was pretty funny

    Red Riding Hood - better than I expected because i wasnt expecting much. I can see how people would say it sucked but I enjoyed it.

    Blow out - '81 Brian DePalma movie w/John Travolta. Was alright for what it was.

    Triangle - fucking solid ass movie, wasnt expecting such a mind fuck - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1187064/

    Morning Glory - Good but I liked The Ugly Truth better, which has a similar plot.

    cant exactly remember the sixth, probably the 13th Warrior because i tend watch that about every two weeks regardless.

    Ok before I do this list, just going to explain that I watch a fuckload of classic movies. I record them a couple weeks in advance on TCM and FMC and usually watch 4 or 5 a week instead of television at night. I find old movies fascinating, if you don't then fuck off :smug:. Also it musta been Spencer Tracy week or some shit because half of these movies have him in it.




    1. The Seventh Cross - Story about the one remaining escapee from a concentration camp and his quest for survival. Very powerful and well acted by Spencer Tracy. 7.5/10

    2. 30 Seconds over Tokyo - Very good WWII movie detailing the plot to bomb Tokyo, hit those fuckers hard. Stayed pretty true to how it actually happened historically. Good cast. 8/10

    3. Blood Alley- John Wayne and Lauren Bacall flick about escaping communist China on a ferry boat. Never was a huge fan of Wayne's and although Bacall is one of my favorite actresses from this era I give it a 5/10. Anti-climactic ending, when I thought there had to be at least 10-15 more minutes left it just ended.

    4. Sahara - Not my favorite Bogart movie but it was really good. Made during WWII it showed a group of soldiers in the desert killing some dirty Nazi's. 7.5/10

    5. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - The Spencer Tracy version. Tracy is a great actor and Lana Turner is about as faptastic as it gets back in those days. Funny to see how they did special effects back then with him transforming into the seperate personalities. 8/10

    6. Notorious - Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman being directed by Hitchcock, a recipe for a good movie. 8.5/10

    Also a big fan of classic movies Ace. Love Ingrid Bergman. Too bad she got blackballed by Hollywood for getting preggo circa 1950 or she would've done a lot more American films. Gaslight, Spellbound (another hitchcock w/gregory peck) and Casablanca are probably my favorite IB movies.

    Unrated version any good? I actually thought Sex Drive wasn't bad.

    To answer the question:
    Anger Management
    Old School
    Animal House
    Zombieland
    Machete
    Scream 4

    I just started Up.

    :respek: always nice to talk classics with somebody. People who only watch current films really don't know what they are missing. Also TCM and FMC have no commercials and are usually uncut so that is solid. I'm a big fan of Ingrid as well, she was one of the more talented actresses of that era. She was in the Tracy version of Jekyll/Hyde on that list I just watched as well. I've seen Casablanca a bunch of times but will have to watch out for Gaslight and Spellbound. I've seen most Hitchcock movies, Cary Grant is my favorite classic actor and Hitchcock's most frequently used I believe.

    It is what an unrated version should be. They have all these random naked girls throughout, like they just stand in corner of the screen for no reason. They change some dialogue that makes it hilarious. It's almost like a gag reel mixed with a movie.

    It's just so much better than that bullshit where they add like 2mins and call it unrated. It's completely different.

    Yeah I have haha, crazy yet really funny movie. That wine those old ladies were serving sure had an extra kick. Try and watch None But the Lonely Heart if you haven't already. It is one of my favorite CG movies, not #1 but it is up there. It is a different type of role for him but he does it really well, which is why I like it.

    The original features a photographer who thinks he took pics of a murder in the park. He pieces together blown up frames trying to piece together the murder. Lots of shady stuff and no one believes him. Great flick

    from the description on IMDB, sounds like one I will have to catch as well.


    A successful mod photographer in London whose world is bounded by fashion, pop music, marijuana, and easy sex, feels his life is boring and despairing. But in the course of a single day he accidentally captures on film the commission of a murder. The fact that he has photographed a murder does not occur to him until he studies and then blows up his negatives, uncovering details, blowing up smaller and smaller elements, and finally putting the puzzle together.
