MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES! ACK!

[Thermofusion]

Word, my man, I fucking love Total Recall.

(forced fake laughter) You think this is the real Quaid?

(pause)

It is! (blammo)

[Captain]

So many classic film moments.

Hey guys I went to Scanner Darkly in the theatre when it came out

[Good Intentions]

Sigh. So did I.

[elpollodiablo]

I did too! With Jeb!

[YojimboMonkey]

I did not but I'm pretty sure I saw Total Recall in the theater the day it came out.


damn that was some time ago

[jebreject]

I did too! With Jeb!

Oh yeah

I liked it okay

Probably the most true-to-the-source adaptation, but, you know, not the greatest movie

[G.C.R]

Oh fuck Deep End was fuckin great! I like all the Skolimowski films I've seen so far, but I think I liked this Best.
I also watched this Preston Sturges film called unfaithfully yours in which Rex Harrison thinks his perfect wife cheated on him so he has these long fantasy sequences involving violently slitting her throat - it's a comedy, obvs

[elpollodiablo]

Waiting patiently for whit to come post about Savages.

[jm]

prolly gonna watch OG Total Recall tonight, thanks guys.

[Captain]

Saw Beasts of the Southern Wild today. Game over: movie of the year.

F'real, so good. Despite a light-hearted feel, the movie was quite heavy. Very rich characters that never feel overwrought. Gorgeous location and art direction. Absolutely stunning work.

prolly gonna watch OG Total Recall tonight, thanks guys.

Great decision

[Good Intentions]

Agreed.

[Greg Nog]

Oh, I finally watched Jaws for the first time the other day, and found it kind of boring.  It mainly made me want to watch a lot of Blue Planet.

[G.C.R]

It IS pretty boring, eh? I was surprised by that when I saw it for the first time a couple years ago. I think the moral is to just watch Piranha or Piranha 3D again.

[dumbfish]

Read movie name as Jews. Gives a real interesting spin to the whole thing.

saw moonrise kingdom. i liked it. the wes andersonness got in the way of the beginning but after the story panned out a bit i either got used to it or it became a good movie. it was fun to watch! some of the action scenes- like when stuff blows up- was like a paper illustration. That was on purpose but I wasn't into it. It didn't take away from the rest of the movie though.

[Greg Nog]

I watched Disney's Hercules last night, and it was one of the most middling pieces of crap I've ever seen.  It felt like a bunch of Disney interns were tasked with making a movie, so they all did the best they could in the house style.

Also kind of hilarious how they're like, "Yep Hercules's mom is Hera, she sure does love him, ok"

[Trousers and Pat]

Oh fuck Deep End was fuckin great! I like all the Skolimowski films I've seen so far, but I think I liked this Best.

nice! I'm slo-o-owly going through skolimowski but that one should be up next. I caught Moonlighting in the theater at like 2 this afternoon though (heh). loved the soundtrack and the uneasy mood, the way it treated everything as dead serious, which I guess it is when your setting is so precarious... also the guy's dramatic voice-over narration reminded me of a diary from some crazy trip into the jungle or something

*ps thought this movie might help me finally understand the "moonlighting" reference from ninja turtles the movie but no that's the other thing I guess. Oh Well!

i loved it. of course, i hate the boy scouts as only someone who was forced to join a boy scout troop run by a bunch of weird-underwear-wearing mormon neighbors can hate a kids club. as with piano lessons, my parents relented after two years of torture. thanks, ma & pa.

favorite part in the film was how the soundtrack ends with "cuckoo, cuckoo" repeated about ten times.

I think one of the things that got me into this movie was because I always wanted to be a boy scout. Although I was a girl scout for 9 years and we did a lot of camping stuff it wasn't nearly as in depth or cool as in the movie which was pretty much how I imagined boy scouting to be.

too bad the actual boy scouts of america is run by a bunch of bigoted butt heads.

I watched the first part of Dune tonight, the david lynch one. I've seen it a bunch yadda yadda but I have been wikipediaing and looked up frank herbert and he is SO AWESOME. and it turns out my step dad's dad knew him because they were both in advertising in the 50's in sanfran and my step dad said he has an autographed copy of the book with a note written to his dad being all "one of the characters in here is based on you" !!!!! my step dad said he could never figure out which one. hopefully not the baron.............

[Dick]

I have frequently thought about how much I would love to be like a communist scout troop advisor type dude. 

I just want to be able to teach kids how to clean a fish and start a fire without explicitly endorsing bigotry.

It would be cool if it was Picard
