I'm all Timmayed about The Lone Ranger.  Better not fuck it up, Disney.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Hopefully Depp can pull it off.

I don't recall there being a Ronin 2 or 3.   :homestar:

They are going to fuck it up with that matrix twat.

I'm not concerned about him; he can pull anything off.  I just hope it's not a fucked up storyline.

For war films there's so many to choose from I'm surprised at the omission, one of may favourites being 'The Train'.
Yep. And the Thin Red Line which is one of my favourite films.

I have not seen that yet.

It sucks.

I saw Thin Red Line in the theater when it came out (last movie I recall seeing that had an intermission). It was marketed a bit as Saving Private Ryan with all those stars in the Pacific, and I went in with that expectation. Hated it.

Caught it a few years later on TV and enjoyed it a lot more. It's now one of my favorite war movies (though it's more meditation than war).

I've been playing a bit of Empire: Total War with the DarthMod recently. One of the songs on loading screens is Händel's 'Lascia ch'io pianga' from 'Rinaldo'. Which gives me flashbacks to the opening of Antichrist with Willem Defoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg fucking in slow motion while she watches their son fall to his death.

Thank you, Lars von Trier.

Not sure, either. I've seen the movie twice - that opening scene is - cinematically - stunningly beautiful, but that doesn't mean I need constant flashbacks of it. :P

Easter TV program sucks. Even twenty or so years ago, it was usually the Holiday to show overlong monumental movies: Ten Commandments, Ben Hur, El Cid, The Robe, Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, maybe a 4 hour Italo-German version the Nibelungs from the 1960s for breakfast etc.

Now it's Twilight, Pirates of the Carribean: At the Ass End of the World, "reality" shows and crappy made for TV romance movies. Many stations just run their usual Sunday program on Easter Sunday. :bleeding:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
