That Wolverine movie. :bleeding:

And I had been drinking. :(

Plus side : the X-Men movies look like masterpieces in comparison.
LOL I went to see it last night and my reaction (re comparison with the X-Men movies) was the same. I mean, seriously, it had none of the moral ambiguity of the X-Men movies; hell, "Last Stand" (the third of the X-Men movies) which is widely regarded as the worst of the trilogy looked positively Bergmanesque in its depth and character complexity.

It had nice CGI, and Hugh Jackman's naked ass is always a plus but overall it was crap.

:huh: Never thought the X-men movies were especially morally ambiguous. They make it very clear who they want the audience to identify with and root for. (I didn't see the 3rd movie though)

Saw Wolverine this morning. Some of the editing was choppy in the 2nd half, but other than that I thought it was good. Not great though, the only really memorable part for me was the opening montage, that showed Logan and Victor fighting as the decades passed.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Beneath The Valley of The Ultra Vixens, by Russ Meyer. funny spoof of Valley of the dolls, sort of, maybe actually a spoof of Beyond the Valley of the dolls, actually. either way... lots of Boobies, dicks and fucking, punctuate some offbeat pseudo folksy narration, as if it were some wild kingdom documentray about nympho housewives.

droll cheeky. gotta be in the right mood tho'

6.9 what the hell other numbers would you use to rate such a film? outta 10
:p

No, the plot was entirely senseless. I'm not going to be posting spoilers (in case someone wants to witness it on their own) but there was almost no explanation for any of the characters' actions.  Which could be fine...as I went in knowing that there wasn't much plot just a lot of action. Unfortunately, the action sequences also left much to be desired.  All in all a horrible except for Jackman's body.

There's a new Jim Jarmusch film out, called The Limits of Control, featuring Tilda Swinton.  Paging Habsburg!

"Must Love Dogs" has been on twice in two days.

Not a bad movie at all, but you know, the only thing that would improve these kinds of romantic comedies would be if velociraptors broke out, and just at that critical plot point of Act III, they gouge everyone's fucking internal organs out while they're still writhing and screaming.

That's my kind of romantic comedy.  Yeah.

"Gods and Generals" followed by "Gettysburg".
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I disagree - Magneto is a very sympathetic villain in all three movies and you can understand his motives. His conflict with Xavier is clearly not your typical Hollywood bad guys vs. good guys thing.

"Gods and Generals"

My condolences.

I was a bit dissapointed in how the two movies boil down to a few "points" considering that they last 6 or 7 hours in total. those points being

A) Union top officers incompetent
B) Lee brilliant with Stonewall, lesser man with Longstreet
C) Southern men have great élan
D) Northern men have great determination

I just think that is a bit simplistic and wrong, given what we really do know. The myths that drive the view of the war are very strong in this case. I refer you to Lettow.

Yeah. The Stryker guy was completely one-dimensional. Only near the end of the movie there was a totally feeble attempt at explaining his motives (OMG A MUTANT KILLED MY WIFE!) but it was so unbelievably lame and sort of an afterthought.
