Razgovory

Just watched one of my old favorite films.  Harvey.  Last time I saw that, I was in a mental hospital.  Odd they'd let you watch it there.
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

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

On Everybody Loves Raymond, is it me, or is Frank (Ray's and Robert's dad) the only sane, normal person on that show?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

They all strike me as normal sitcom characters.

Less likable than usual, though. 

On most sitcoms, they make all the main characters likable, except maybe they have 1 unlikable character who will be the source of the conflict to drive the plots.  On that show, not so much.

The Hangover 2. Awful. It's like Lars von Trier decided to direct a comedy.

War Horse. Good movie but depressing as hell.

That's why I refused to see it in theaters.  I still cry at animal movies.

YEAH FUCK YOU ALL TOO LIKE YOU DONT

Yeah, me too.
Terminator has as its core setting a grim dark future where most of humanity was subject to a nasty genocide and the survivors are forced to live in horrific conditions....
But it was the bit where the dog gets shot that upset me.
And that Futurama episode with the dog...ugh...horrific.

Watched True Grit (2010) last night.  Wow.  That's one fucking great movie.

Rewatching the original.  Not as good, nohow.

Watched Sucker Punch. Not at all what I expected. From what it said on the tin I was expecting more of a psychological drama about young women in a mental home (and hopefully a group shower or two). It turned into a comic book thing of women in short skirts fighting era-crossing samurais, and W-W-1 German zombies  and dragons. No group showers. :(

Yeah, but was it worth watching on Netflix?
PDH!

Agreed.  On re-watching I think it's my favourite Coen Brothers' film.

I rank it with Miller's Crossing, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, and No Country.  Five brilliant, iconic movies, each with a distinct visual style.  The killer for me is that Barry Sonnenfeld, best known for the MIB movies, did the cinematography for Miller's Crossing.  Its visual scope is only equaled by True Grit among their works.

Black Swan is on rotation on cable now.  Saw some of it last night.  Some viscious tongue wrestling between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, then Mila eats the pussy of Natalie's body double, but through it all not a nipple is seen.  For those of you who've been saving up that special box of Kleenex for this movie, it doesn't really work as a T&A movie.

Not a T&A movie per se, but I'd still say it's pretty erotic. It doesn't all hve to be explicit you know. I liked the masturbation scene too.
