Anne Francis was a gorgeous lady.

Also as brunette:

Dark Knight Rises on TV, 1080i.  It was awful.  I don't like Bane's voice either in english.  I guess it has to be seen on IMAX.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Re-watching The ANgry Video Game Nerd on Youtube.

It didn't make it a better movie, unfortunately.

Sav, that's Malevich right? Or Kandinsky?

It's Kandinsky, Circles within a Circle (1923)

Red dawn remake- meh. They at least lampshade fairly early the stupidity of a north Korean invasion. And it has its cool points. But even beyond the base idea the whole thing is just stupid. Stupid in  a way over and beyond the original. It would be nice to see a film about urban resistance in a western country done well....

The first problem is choosing a reasonable enemy invader that passes the laugh test. 

"The invaders from Canada are burning down the White House ... again!"

[The Brain]

Aztecs.

[Ed Anger]

Aztecs.

You need to purchase the DLC for that one.

Maybe a vast Liberal-socialistic conspiracy raises secret armies recruited from Americorps to take over the country?


I should note that this scenario was proposed rather seriously by some Republican friends of mine. They were considering moving to South Carolina to join the resistance and arm themselves.

He said western country.  Doesn't have to be the US.

[Malthus]

Can't do the whole "Wooolverines!" thing unless it's the US. 

[Josquius]

It wasn't the invaders that were the problem there. I could pretend it was some sort of weird alternate history with China invading.
It was that even beyond d this initial leap of faith, despite some glimmers of enjoyable quasi realism, they handled things stupidly.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Haven't seen it, but it sounds like some sort of weird Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 movie adaptation.

Bleu Dawn:

Provincial Habitants conquer Montreal and send Anglos to Provincial French re-education camps.  As the English speaking population suffers through Jerry Lewis films a group of brave teenagers form a resistance.  Can they save the Anglos or is it already too late?
