Movie Discussion Thread

The last 5 minutes are bogus, I think. A bunch of unnecessary stuff. Still there was some humor in it. And its not bogus enough to take away from the brilliance that is the rest of the film.

I am pretty excited about QoS. Though it may be no Casino Royale, and there have been a lot of mixed reviews on it (everyone here seems to hate it), it should be fun seeing all the action. People in suits kicking ass is fun.

Hey i wrote a pretty good review on it a few pages back. Basically if you walk in expecting Casino Royale, youll be dissapointed. If you go in with an open mind and accept it for what is, youll find yourself enjoying a pretty good action flick. I found it to be a solid follow up but thats just me.

watching In Bruges again, still one of my top 3 favorite movies this year

Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was ********, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.

Ah. Yeah thats what I am thinking. I find Casino Royale to be really enjoyable, so I hope that doesnt affect my view of QoS too much.

In Bruges was very similar in tone to KKBB I thought...same kind of humour, almost black humour. I loved it.

"I think that might tip just a teenie bit in the direction of culture. Like a big, fat, *******, ******** black women on a seesaw. With a dwarf."

Lots of very good dialogue in In Bruges. I bought it for my collection not long ago. Definately worth it, and one of my top 5 movies of the year.

Just be prepared for a different type of movie. Its action through the whole thing but it makes sense if you think about it in terms of where james bond is in his life at the time. I just read an article where Rollingstone called the girl the dullest bond girl in the history of the movies because she didnt sleep with him. I mean thats the kind of review that brings its overall score down for a horrible reason. I mean seriously people, this is a different direction in Bond.

I really enjoyed In Bruges and its subtlety. Great lines. Apparently I need to see KKBB now.

Just found out that Kevin Smith had to cancel his show by me on the 22nd that I had tickets to. Needless to say, I'm mildly pissed.

Mildly? Id be hella pissed. I heard hes amazing live.

He is brilliant live. I have seen many stand up comedians live and Kevin Smith pwns them all. Sucks that he had to cancel the show but if I am not mistaken he always reschedules and never outright cancels.

I am watching Role Models now. I am through the first 30 minutes. I am finding it fairly funny so far. IMO it doesn't come close to being as funny as Zack and Miri Make a Porno. It is sad that it outgrossed Zack and Miri by 10 mill opening weekend. I just really hope I get to see a Kevin Smith film starring Paul Rudd at some point. My favorite comedy director combined with my favorite comedic actor would equal one of the greatest comedies ever no doubt. Hell throw in David Cross and Jason Bateman (both of whom Kevin Smith wants to get in a movie of his) and you have an instant classic.

Can't say you didn't see it coming though.

This is from the email I received notifying me of the cancel:

Dear Miami University Performing Arts Series Patron,
Thank you for purchasing tickets to our presentation of Kevin Smith November 22. Unfortunately, Mr. Smith has just had to cancel his performance at Millett Hall due to a schedule conflict with the overseas release of his new movie. Regrettably, he is unable to re-schedule his show at Miami University because of future movie commitments. I’m sure you are as disappointed with this as we are.

This ******* blows.

I'm pissed about the Kevin Smith cancellation as well. On the bright side, I am going to see Synecdoche, New York tomorrow with a significant other. Should be amazing.

[HChu]

Man, if everything goes according to plan it's going to be a Saturday triple feature of; Let the Right One In, Synecdoche, New York, and My Name is Bruce with Bruce Campbell in person. God, the next few days will be glorious!
