TV/Movies Megathread

I liked the T&A in redux.

Did you also like the T&A in Casualties of War?

You talking about the five year old Sean Penn raped?  Or is that a different movie?

18 year old.

I thought about it and maybe you meant the Frenchwoman.   Not the in-shock USO girls whom the soldiers, iirc, kinda-sorta rape.  In any event it's gross, that much has stuck with me.  I definitely remember they're literally purchased in exchange for gasoline.

I don't remember any coercion or whimpering.  I remember the girls being quite enthusiastic.

Which of course makes no sense whatsoever.  Why would whack magazine centerfolds happily be turning tricks in the middle of the Vietnamese jungle?

I don't remember Redux too well, but I do remember that the added footage screwed up the pacing of the movie something fierce - it just dragged. Much of it seemed either wrong in tone (there was a whole thing about a stolen surfboard that was straight out of a bad comedy) or completely nonsensical.

Worst "longer version" I know of. [The best remains the "international version" of Leon: The Professional, which is like a different, and better, movie].

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

Someone hasn't seen the extended version of Dune.

Someone hasn't seen the extended version of Dune.

Extended Dune is awful, but regular Dune isn't all that good.

Someone hasn't seen the extended version of Dune.

I was told not to. 

[Ideologue]

I got that out of a blu-ray bargain bin.  Not the worst $8 I ever spent, but bleh.

[PRC]

Good documentary out on Netflix called "Jodorowsky's Dune" about Alejandro Jodoowsky's attempt to make Dune in the mid-70s.  Pretty wild what could have been.

Little Miss Sunshine. Best movie I've seen this year.

I think the point of the movie is that nothing makes sense.  There is little rhyme or reason to what anyone does and each place they go is more surreal then the last.  The men want to have sex with the Bunnies but the women seem oblivious and chatter on about random bullshit.  The French dinner scene is similar with people rambling on without a care to what anyone else is saying.  I think the whole movie is a cacophony of weirdness reflecting American misunderstanding and ambivalence to what actually occurred in Vietnam.  It's neither pro and anti-war.  It's just a confusing series of events that have no real meaning.  At least that was my impression.

That says it best.

Little Miss Sunshine. Best movie I've seen this year.

Only took you 9 years. 

If you want to feel old, google the actress that plays the little girl.

She played in Zombieland I see, I remember that now. Doesn't really make me feel old, Emma Stone is only a few years younger than me. I can live with that.
