The King of Comedy.

One of the best movies of the 1980s.

I'm curious; do you guys think the bit at the end was just more fantasy? I actually thought he was pretty good at stand up; his material was good, his timing was fine, and it was really, really edgy.  In a horrifyingly dark kind of way.

No.

Finally got around to watching "State Of Play"... the movie not the series. Well crafted silly political thriller. Been awhile since there's been a decent newspaper movie. Good acting all around. Solid script, though I figured out the twist early on, they played it just right in terms of story beats.

watched the above sandwiched between most of Blade Runner & The Matrix (missed the first few minutes of each) which were playing on some HD channel sans commercials. New Years rung in just as Joey Pants started unplugging people, feeling up Trinity. Is it a sign of the year to come?

District 9
Invention of Lying

District 9

Was that any good? I was thinking of checking it out.

District 9

Was that any good? I was thinking of checking it out.

It's fun, amusing at many points, action-packed, humorous and generally pretty inventive.  The opening sequence starts as a documentary sort of flick and slowly makes a transition into an action film.  The switchover threw some people off, at first, but I loved it and thought it fit in very well with the overall story.

As I value your opinion over a wide swath of the knuckleheads here, I accept your positive review.

Finally saw the beginning of A Room With A View.  I'd seen it maybe 5 times before, but for some strange reason always starting from the tennis match scene.

It is worth a rental, like too many smaller films it was overtaken by the hype machine that swelled around it.

The Gamers:  Dorkness Rising.  I was thoroughly entertained by this little gem.  It's about a group of D&D players and pokes fun at a lot of the stuff that comes up during sessions and whatnot.  I highly recommend it for those  individuals on the board who partake in such games.  Well worth the viewing.

I saw this. Loved all the cameos by the icons of gaming. Looked like it must have been fun as hell for them to make.

I found District 9 boring. Even the mecha fight at the end seemed dull.

I really liked it.  It was the most entertaining moving of the summer.

That doesn't mean much.

Just watched history of violence again. Very good movie. wish they showed more of a back story, but then i guess that would change the feel of the movie.
