Link does work.  I recommend you quit being such a faggot.  Mobile sites are for homos.

Finally, finally watched Cowboys and Aliens.  And finally found a movie that Harrison Ford couldn't save.

Although Olivia Wilde makes so many things in life tolerable.

You must not have seen anything Harrison Ford has been in since 1994... and i'm being generous by including Clear and Present Danger.

HOW DAR U QUESTION RANDOM HEARTS 

Not only the worst Harrison Ford movie, but the worst movie of any kind, in the history of all mankind.

Does work? Good.

The end of The Thick Of It. Unbelievable TV. I want the whole thing on DVD now. And I second Gups' recommendation, especially for CdM. "One of the many, many things that baffles me about you is that you remain unmurdered."

Watching this from the beginning now. I think I'll like it as so far (though I know it came many years before it) it reminds me a lot of Veep.

Ah just read that it is by the same man. That explains the similarities.

Any movie that has Kristen Scott Thomas getting her sublime cougar ass fondled in jeans is a gem.

Not only the worst Harrison Ford movie, but the worst movie of any kind, in the history of all mankind.

Still better than 2/3 of the movies Matthew McConnaughey's done.

Doesn't work.  I recommend that I stop fucking up my posts, before I end up all faggoty.

McConnaughey admits he does most of his films just for the money. And that makes the crap okay. Even if it's a sad waste of a good actor.

Rampart again. Very good. It's becoming a favourite.

Y'all will have to tolerate my weird posting style for awhile. Brought to you by apple and autocorrect.

Well they answered that question on Walking Dead today. Apparently zombies do starve.

I protest.  What about Hollywood Homicide?

Goddamnit, I don't watch it until after Sunday Night Football.

Then again, that's not a big spoiler.

GET OFF MY FORUM!




I mostly agree with you, but Air Force One was fun, Six Days Seven Nights was watchable and Indy 4 would have been ok with a lesser pedigree.

When was Regarding Henry.  So sad.

Yo, Joe, do you hate these newfangled cardboard sleeves as much as I do?  About need a pair of Goddamned pliars to pull the discs out.  What was wrong with plastic?

YES.

They're the worst thing ever. They're not meant to keep putting the discs in and out from. Pretty stupid design. I'm sure some accountant figured, "if we make these sleeves 1/10th mm smaller than necessary we save $100K."

See, with the scratching that is said to occur--I'm pretty sure I nicked one of my Indy discs--I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been a class action.  They maybe ought to have run it through legal too.

I watched Lolita today, or Siegebreaker: The Movie.  OK, what is it about James Mason that every woman he meets wants to put his Humbert Humbert inside them?  Besides Dolores, there's Charlotte Hayes, the Farlow woman, and it's possible even the woman who came to his door to complain about the 120 decibel fight with the stepdaughter she thinks he's fucking was hitting on him, too.  I'm just not seeing the appeal of a fish-faced guy with bad teeth and a leering problem.  Anyway, I liked it.  I expected, after reading some material on how the film treated its protagonist, to develop more sympathy for Humbert, but he's really rather dreadful, especially once he becomes Lolita's keeper.  Maybe the advice seems misplaced, but, dude, that's not how you're supposed to act in a relationship.

Negative-wise this movie has a really unfocused middle 45 minutes and Peter Sellers's Clare Quilty may be the most unappealing character I've ever seen in a movie (excluding, of course, Battle Royale II); he reaches Jar-Jar levels of deliberate annoyance in his first scene and he has far surpassed it by the time he starts masquerading as Dr. Strangelove and a state policeman because his Quilty-sense has alerted him to the presence of a fellow ephebophile (and it must have been some pervert shining, because he has no evidence to back up his suspicions except Humbert is HOLY SHIT TRAVELING WITH HIS DAUGHTER?).  Peter Sellers is of course supremely talented; and I suspect only a supremely talented individual could be as obnoxious as Quilty is in this movie.  It was wise to open with the scene of him getting gunned down because he asks for it with every second he's talking in this movie.

One last word, I want to mention the funniest scene I've witnessed in a movie in a while.  As you know, Humbert's creepy fondness for Lolita is recorded in his diary, because he's, I dunno, profoundly retarded; and said diary is discovered by his wife; but, before she can reveal anything to anyone, Charlotte Humbert is killed after storming out of the house and into the path of a speeding auto.  The cut from Humbert standing in the rain over Charlotte's corpse while the cop laconically informs him that his wife is dead to Humbert sitting happily in the bathtub trying to drink a scotch with his pecs is, well, it's hilarious. B+

I have also now watched all of the Planet of the Apes movies within about a week's timeframe.  They are surprisingly good.
