The Killing slowed down a bit in Ep.4. Hoping it picks up again.

Crocodile Dundee- You know, this actually genuinely is a good film. Holds up well.

Bubba Ho-tep (2002)

A truly marvelous cult classic featuring Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis as Elvis and Jack Kennedy in a retirement home where they have to fight a mummy.  Bruce Campbell does an outstanding job as The King. :elvis:

The story starts out a little slow at first; but plays out like a fine, if strange, short story.
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

Quote from: Tyr on April 17, 2011, 06:54:29 PMOverall the moral of the story seems to be that the mayans were dicks and deserved what was coming to them.

They were a dying civilization. That's what dying civilizations do.  Look at Russia.

Native American rights groups don't like being reminded that Pre-Columbian societies were made up of assholes.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Which is exactly what it was, before it was a film.  ;) By one of my favorite authors, no less.

I really, really would love it if someone did a movie version of his Hap and Leonard novels - preferably Bad Chili. That would be sweet!

Yes it is.  Don't go anywhere near the sequels.

I don't think the Sioux or Cherokee give two shits about jungle niggers.

I liked it, and I think it was Malthus that recommended it years ago. I tried to convince my friends it was good too, but they turned out to be Phiilipines.

If anybody's a fan of the reinvention of Bill Murray the last several years as an understated actor, check out Broken Flowers.  Successful bachelor-for-life businessman receives an arcane, anonymous letter in the mail telling him about the 18 year old son he didn't know he had.  After prodding by his detective novel junkie neighbor, goes on a road trip to visit three ex-girlfriends that would fit the time frame.
Poignant and delightfully painful.

Dude, that flick was gold. Love the ending.

In other news, I've been watching the Wire. It might be the best television I've ever seen.

It's almost like that song was made for being played while taking out SAM sites in North Africa with an F-16.

Woah. Don't really know how to describe this one, but it was interesting. Child actors are rarely a good thing.

I'm not entirely sure who that slur was aimed at.   :unsure:
