The Brain

Quote from: Ideologue on December 29, 2011, 03:26:50 PM

The Brain From Planet Auros.  John Agar is taken over by a brain from planet Auros.  A brain with thermonuclear telekinesis.  A brain that likes to rape.  Awesome.  John Growth Medium kills the nuclear rape brain with an axe.


For real?

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

There's also another brain from planet Auros--he's a cop brain--and he takes over a dog.  A German shepherd I believe. :)

War Horse.  Meh.  It was watchable I guess.  Definitely not worth the price of the ticket, and only barely worth the time invested.  No idea how it has a 76% at Rotten Tomatoes currently.  I presume it's based mainly on Spielberg's name.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

Spielberg is one of the most over-rated directors there are.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Silence!

I don't know that Spielberg is even rated all that highly in critical circles.  Well-liked, respected, yeah, but not much more than that.  Maybe back in the day.  Now he's just the guy that makes generally watchable movies.

P.S.: Crystal Skull was fine.  I think people just went into that with a bad attitude.
P.P.S.: However, War of the Worlds is a cinematic abortion.

Eric Bana's coming to blow up your mattress.

I didn't see Munich.  I can watch Jews blowing up people I disagree with for free.

Saw Piranha (3D).  The plot of the movie revolves around hot chicks swimming/dancing naked or semi-naked while a video producer is filming them.  At some point, there are man-eating fishes coming around and eating people.  The goal of the movie was to show naked porn stars in 3D, in regular theaters, to boost sales for porn movies, I believe.

Well, it's a half decent B-movie.  Silly as I expected it, more gore-ish than I tought, and with Caliga approved boobs hanging around everywhere, anywhere during the movie.  I didn't watch it for the acting or the plot, so I did like it, in a way.  Lots of beer helped.
I hear there's a sequel planned, Piranha 3DD.  Probably bigger boobs this time.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Watched Goodfellas: always a good watch. Seen A Bronx Tale for the first time. I thought it was real good.

He definitely is.  ET, the original Indies, Schindler's List are all really highly rated.  He's just not produced a great deal of worth in quite a while.

Somewhat under-rated; loved the dialogue about the car door test.
