TV/Movies Megathread

[Ideologue]

Yeah, that and the ending are the two scenes I liked.

I want to say it might have worked better as a short film?  There's no real place for forty minute pieces, if there ever were.  Well, outside of television, of course.  I feel like we're missing out, culturally, a bit that films--that is, cinematic works with the production values and high-caliber acting of feature films--have to be an hour and a half long, or longer.  I suspect there's a lot of stuff that can't really support the feature length that would nonetheless find an audience at a far shorter length.

The two movies aren't too much alike, Coppola's being far, far better, but take the Brown Bunny, which is utter piece of shit at its feature length, but would be pretty decent movie at 25 or 30 minutes.  Also, you could get your big screen porno swerve on, Taxi Driver.

I really liked Lost in Translation. Only seen it once though, maybe I'd feel differently after a second viewing.

I find watching it hard though because Scarlett makes me weep for what I cannot have.

Word. Any film that begins with a long take on Miss Johansson's bum in panties deserves praise.

This.

You know they make pornography for what's ailing you, right?

You can see Scarlett Johansson's bum in luscious pink  panties in a porno? Which one?

There are plenty of asses in pornography that meet or exceed Johanssen spec.

Yeah, but those all have some other dude's cock stuck in them.

Just saw Too Big to Fail.

Good cast, excellent production values.  Not at all flattering to McCain.

Yeah, I really liked that.  Giamatti made a more interesting Bernanke than Bernanke.

Traditionally, audiences have demanded an identifiable protagonist.

I prefer a girl by herself and looking at the camera.

Sunny D and rum... yum yum??

[Duque de Bragança]

Saw most of Dinner for Chumps.  Bleh.  No pace, lines not that funny.  Love interest is very easy on the eyes though.

That's a remake, right? Serves you well.

[viper37]

yes. it's a bad remake of Le Diner de Con.

Yi, have you seen the French original?  That was funny

[viper37]

Priest.

Not a bad movie but far from great either.
I can't say I got bored, but I never felt any kind of suspense either, or any emotional attachment to any of the characters.

Characters are blend.  The story is trying to be some Judge Dredd with Vampires, but it fails, miserably.

I don't recommend viewing this unless you're an avid fan of pre-Twilight vampires.

[Admiral Yi]

yes. it's a bad remake of Le Diner de Con.

I'll keep a look out for it on cable.

It's from 1998.  Better look for it on the web

Dail up. 

IFC and Sundance show old ferenghi flics once in a while.
