I was really disappointed (though not surprised) to find out hti smovie sucked. especially with guy-freakin-fleegman from Galaxy Quest as Zaphod Beeblebrox...

that is like someone settingoyu up for a perfect joke and you screwq it up... its just wrong...

I was disapointed as well. Mos Def's character was pretty good, but otherwise Im totally agreed.

Snakes on a plane was awsome :D I laugh my ass of .... Samuel L. Jackson is one best actors :)

Horror Hotel

Oh yes, Galaxy Quest. Another movie that sucked ass instead of being funny.

And who told Tim Allen he was funny? That guy should be shot.

Hm....

I personally felt more for the depressed robot than any of the living characters, maybe except for John Malkovich part. Would have loved to see him in the leading role. Think that would have changed my point of view on the entire movie. Him or Jim Carrey.:D

sure...........we believe you :p



shatter dead

murder rock

i LOVE Hellen Mirren !

believe it baby ... one of the UK's finer products :)

i love Galaxy Quest ... great movie ..

you do struggle with English Language comedies ..

maybe its a cultural thing for you ?

My brother let me borrow his dvds for a long ass time....I still have them. Well one of them is HItchikers Guide and everytime I try to go watch it I end up turning it off. I still have never watched past 30ins of it.

Galaxy Quest was genius.

What was that noise?!
Nothing!
But, the creature... Is inside out.
Did he just say the pig lizard was inside out?!
*God awful squeel as the crreature spews fluids*
And it exploded.


:)

Laugh my ass off every time.



One of my favoriteparts is when Tony Shalub starts makingout with Lilari, and guy goes. "Heey guys... get a room... hey, oh.. OH! That's not right!...Oh..."

Shut up, you.

I laughed my ass off to Dodgeball. ;)


But true, i dont get english and american Stand-up comedy/comedians. And i find Danish stan-up to be the most hilarious kind of comedy to watch.

But i don´t get swedish or norwegian stand-up either.:confused:


Conclusion: Stand-up comedy is a very cultural thing. :rolleyes:

i think this will apply to a lot of movies as well .. Dodgeball was very visual .. it will be an individual thing from movie to movie .. depending on how many of the jokes are topical or culturally rooted. sometimes it's a very subtle thing ..

That might be.

But how can Galaxy Quest be one of those movies???

Of course, i´m not a scifi nerd either, so the jokes could´ve got lost on me there as well.:rolleyes:

pretty much .. it played with a lot of the cliches - on screen and off - of the star trek people and their fans

yes. you dont have to be a trekkie to get them. knowing one makes it a lot better though.

knew a guy who was glassy eyed with dreams and envy wqhen Starfleet academy had a big display at the mall one time... fat losers in outfits handing out pamphlets....

I understand poepl in the SCA. I can get people dressing up like leves because they like lord of the rings or dungeons and dragons.

I even get the star wars dorks.

But trekkies are a race all their own. Yes, trekkies. A "Trekker" is a trekkie that for some reason thinks on edork label is offensive, and another dork label is just fine.

can someone please translate this post into english for me ?

:p :p

That was hilarious. :)

Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby- 4/5

Accepted- 3/5

Howl's Moving Castle. One of my favorite animated movies.

Airplane: The Sequel

Easily as good as the first one. Non-stop laughs from start to finish, I loved it.

Although I don't think it touches the first one, I definately agree with you that the sequel is a proud addition to the original. I love watching them back to back, both are hysterical.

The Changeling

It was OK, but not as great or atmospheric
or terrifying as everyone told me. And I waited the entire movie for the *amazing scary chandelier jump out* which never happened...... What jump were people talkingt about? The chandelier fell, and it wasn't even a jump..........

7/10

Yes great movie, but Spirited Away is my favorite by Miyazaki.

Ginger Snaps 7.5/10 - I liked this modern take on the werewolf myth. I thought the two lead girls did a great job. I also loved Mimi Rogers as the clueless mom. Overall I enjoyed the movie. Also taught a valuable lesson, if your a teenage girl on your period, do not go outside during a full moon.

I loved Spirited Away too. I think the guy is one of the most talented filmmakers around....if he ever did a live action flick, I bet it would be unbelievable.

Brick

8/10 very smart movie, i like movies that make you think.

It is a shame most of America does not share the same mindset as you :(

I loved BRICK and have recommended it to several...but not to all

Yeah, brick does look really good...nice style about it, from what I've seen. It's one of my "to see" list.
Another I'm really hanging out for, similar style, but not quite is called zen noir. Trailer up at:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/zennoir/
Check it out.

Hellraiser 2. It's entertaining, but I have to admit most of it makes me giggle. Especially the doctor during and after his transformation into a REAL "head doctor". When he's supposed to be yelling, it seems like he's doing a very bad Pavarotti imitation. Like if you had a drunk Italian uncle named Vito who would drink too much wine and try to sing opera....Well, I guess if you don't have a drunk Italian uncle you wouldn't really know what I'm talking about. Anyway, the singing monster cracks me up. Pretty funny stuff.

"The jacket"

Second viewing.


Does the ending make any sense at all really??? Does the whole movie?? And why "The JACKET"? The jacket did nothing for him. NOTHING!!!


I must admit that i liked this movie a lot the first time i saw it. But now i don´t know....

I thought it was pretty good...Kristofferson is great in it.

Yeah, it IS.... pretty good. But the story is actually kind of a mess with very few explanations given.

Cellular

This was a little better & more believable than I was expecting, but still pretty run of the mill. Nothing too bad or too spectacular here.

C+



Rumor Has It

Why oh why do I let my wife have a say in what we watch... ever? (Oh wait, I know. I like getting nookie.) This movie was stupid from start to sappy finish. The only remotely interesting parts of this came when they tried to tie it in to The Graduate by saying that Kevin Costner was the grown up underclassmen from that far superior film. Other than that, this was crap.

***MINOR SPOILER WARNING (Not that you are gonna rush out and see this one anyways though)****

One thing that bothers me in chick flicks... Aniston cheats on her fiance (Mark Ruffalo) with Kevin Costner, then apologizes and everything is suddenly roses again. What the hell is that? If I was Mark Ruffalo I woulda told that bitch to start packing. Is the message in this PG-13 romantic comedy that it's okay to be a whore as long as you say sorry and/or were confused?

D-

Yes. if chick flicks have taught us nothing else, its this:

Cheating men should be thrown out with the grabage. Find someone with abs, a horse schlong and likes buying you flwoers while making sweet, tender love to you (except when you feel naughty) PArade him in front of your ex. Laugh. Rinse, repeat.


If YOU cheat, well. Things were rough. He didnt understand you. You hadnt experimented enough before him. Those 36 other guys before him didnt count. He should take you back because you are a strong beautiful soul who is truly sorry you turned into a slut for a few months. He should buy you flowers. Oh yeah, and if he doesnt have abs and a horse schlong, it was HIS fault. Dont go back.

Only if you went down on 'em back in school and you're never going to see them again.

As a society, we're destined for the shitter.

same here ..

with totoro as a very close second ..
