Was it about an amateur movie reviewer?

Apparently Willem Dafoe's little-known brother, who took a turn at acting after a mediocre career in chartered accountancy.

Watched The Terminal again (it was on the telly and I was bored). There's a great kafkian story buried in there, but Spielberg is the completely wrong man to tell it.

Then again, he would have been the completely wrong man for Catch Me If You Can and he aced that one.

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.

CB and I went to see Penguin 3D at the Orlando Science Center.  The movie is similar to "March of the Penguins" but about king penguins rather than emperor penguins, narrated by David Attenborough rather than Morgan Freeman and IN 3D! rather than in 2D.

The theater they showed it in also serves as a lecture hall and consequently has a stage.  One little boy (about 3 years old) got up on the stage and started to walk towards the penguins until his father grabbed him and took him back to his seat.  It was cute the first time; not so much the next fifteen times.  Finally his sister (who was about five) grabbed him, yanked him off stage and kept him in a headlock throughout the rest of the film.  It was a marvelous cinema experience.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

One of my best moviegoing memories is when shortly after the "Today is our independence day" speech in ID4, there were some screams, the lights of the cinema came up and there were two guys engaged in fisticuffs on the stairs.  :lol:

Watched a bit of some Spanish movie yesterday.  Javier Bardem is like a shitty knockoff goods street vendor wholesaler.  Maybe drugs too, they were speaking too goddamn fast.  Then he finds out he has cancer and will die in a couple months.

It was not as peppy and upbeat as say, La Belle Epoque.

On the final night, saw Waiting for Godot with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Enjoyed No Man's Land better though seeing those two do physical humor was entertaining. :)

Great now, I'm Jealous of Garbon.
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

A documentary 'The Gatekeepers', interviews 6 of the 7* Israeli Shin Bet directors.

Worth watching if you have an interest in Israel and the middle east.






* served from 1981 onwards, the one not interview had died years ago and obviously they didn't talk to the current head, in post for the last 3 years.
