I read Saw first too. Heh.

I think I'm going to wait on The Pacific until the whole lot is done too. Breaking Bad also I think I'll wait as eagerly as I want to see it.

Series like that actually work better when seen in a bunch. I haven't seen an episode of Pacific yet, much as I highly anticipated it. I'm gonna wait, and then do a marathon one weekend.
I am seeing Breaking Bad weekly.

Speaking of Breaking Bad, can anyone explain that ritual that started off this past season? (Bunch of Mexicans crawling through the desert, two gangsters pull up in their nice suits and start crawling with them).

You need to learn how to read, moron. I'm well aware his life wouldn't have turned out any differently necessarily... All I was doing was pointing out that I THINK it's wrong and should be illegal for companies to make 10's of thousands of dollars from some part time employee who died after she stopped being their employee. If it happened to your wife, I daresay you'd feel that Wal-Mart and the insurance co. were profiting off your misery.

The difference that would have happened is just that. No wal-mart getting insurance money is one thing that the dude wouldn't have had to feel shitty about. He already felt pretty shitty with his wife dying. He felt shittier because of this happening.

I'm done hijacking this thread about this now, as usual on Languish I forget that all the ignorance is willful and immovable. No one is ever wrong here. :assholes:

BTW not one word I ever write on Languish is ever promoting me as being a "great guy" ... I don't think in those terms. ie: my opinion is right, thus I'm awesome. I know I'm awesome, my opinions are neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things. And unlike the majority of posters here, they actually change once in awhile.
Nice.  You're from a universe where people care about others and I'm a moron.  I guess we're done with that topic.

I didn't get that either, but apparently they were crawling towards a shrine to the Saint of Death.  It's some kind of Catholic cult in Mexico, I guess crawling gains you favor with her

Kick-Ass was incredibly awesome.  Best super hero movie ever.  So glad I saw it in the theatre and didn't just download it, although I'm doing that now too

Not many movies where you can say it would have been even better with more Nicolas Cage

Darth Wagtaros

nicholas Cage made the movie.

Yes grumbler we are. :p

edit... though I do apologize for the "moron" comment... didn't need to go there. I often type angry. The other is obvious hyperbole. I just always somehow think I'll get some agreement on Languish. It almost never happens, but I'm an optimist.
:p

Nic was awesome.  I don't think I've liked him in anything since Leaving Las Vegas until now

What's not to like about the Wicker Man remake? It's full of win.

Kick Ass- hmm....I knew nothing of this or the comic its supposidely based on until I read a angry review which prompted me to check out the trailer and everything. Then eventually the film.
I knew it wasn't a traditional superhero film despite the trailer but...I didn't expect quite what it was. I expected more Kick Ass going around doing crappy things. Instead its...myeah. And Red Mist sucks. Enjoyable but not great.

By the looks of it the comic book is more angsty and depressing.

I just read it.  The movie is better.  The story is basically the same but there were some changes they made in the movie that I think greatly improved things

Savonarola

Dark Victory (1939)

The incomparable Bette Davis plays a young socialite who develops brain cancer.  The film explores Bette's reaction to the cancer, her initial operation and the cancer's resurgence.  The ending is  :cry: :cry: :cry:

The biggest weakness of the film is that the male love interest, George Brent, is bland compared to the two supporting actors who pursue her, Humphry Bogart and a very young Ronald Reagan.  Even in 1939 the Gipper sounded the same, I half expected him to say "Oh there you go again," at some point.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
