I'm going to see Paul tonight,

anyone seen it and is it good?

Dynamithix 02-24-2011 04:38 AM

I fucking want to see it, but it's probably not even coming to Finnish theaters. Fuck.

IMDb claims it is pretty good.

Doesn't Finland have English speaking cities like Ireland and Wales do? They could have a theater.

Dynamithix 02-24-2011 09:47 AM

I don't know.

Dixanadu 02-24-2011 09:49 AM

You don't check these things often, do you?

Dynamithix 02-24-2011 10:01 AM

Derp!



No.

Human Planet tonight. On rivers.


This video's not from it, but it depicts something quite amazing that I first heard of on the show. In the Indian state of Meghalaya, one of the wettest places on land, in order to cross the raging torrents that the rivers become every rainy season the people use living bridges constructed over decades from the peculiar secondary roots that grow from the trunks of the Indian rubber tree (Ficus elastica) and maintained for centuries. They still build/grow/cultivate them today, as connecting the roots and passages in the forests is still on going after hundreds of years.



They encourage the roots to grow long through tubs of bark, until they are long enough to reach across the water. Once the end has settled on the other side, the connection is secure and they can begin to grow it into a bridge, weaving the base and the sides, waiting for them to grow hard and strong, and even paving them. The very bridge is living, so it won't require repair or replacing from age and wear. I was enthralled.

Here are some finished bridges.

V series lastly, not any movies. :)

I don't even know what Paul is.

I haven't seen many movies lately, but I saw The Wonder of it All, an independent movie shown at my school about the Apollo mission astronauts. What I learned of them was interesting, but the movie itself could have been done better. I did learn that one of the astronauts is a painter who figured out a REALLY AWESOME gimmick of selling his paintings for tons of money by placing small amounts of the moon dust, that he gathered from his mission, on the surface of the paintings to create texture and HUGELY increasing their value. I got extra credit in my theatre class for just watching it which was a great deal.

I also saw The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle yeah I don't even know

Hazel-Rah 02-26-2011 08:12 PM

I saw Kick-Ass, I loved it but I wish they had made it a little less over the top and a bit more realistic, it was fun anyway!

kapteeni13 02-27-2011 01:41 AM

Watched Meet the Spartans previously =D

Dynamithix 02-27-2011 01:42 AM

Yeah, I saw some of Meet the Spartans yesterday and I thought it fucking sucked.

Dixanadu 02-27-2011 02:45 AM

Aye, admittedly some parts were funnyish.

The dancing scenes ruined it.

Josh 02-27-2011 03:04 AM

The Erectile Dysfunction ad. I don't know why I find it hilarious.
"Maybe it's the economy" I'd like to imagine that train of thought as "Hmm, the FTSE is looking lOH GOD MY PENIS"

The only legitimately unrealistic thing was the jetpack, and that's because it had a ton of shit strapped to it. Everything else was plausible.

Wings of Fire 02-27-2011 10:50 AM

Hit Girl was legitimately unrealistic, but I don't think anyone cared. At all.

Dynamithix 02-27-2011 10:54 AM

Hit-Girl was badass.

shaman 02-27-2011 12:15 PM

Burke and Hare.

Really funny and quirky. Plus It's nice to finally be able to say that we have a Simon Pegg character which is slightly different from most of the others he's played.

Nah, you see that's what I was getting at...

They never clarify that she isn't actually a robot, fucktard.

Now you just look stupid.

Now I just look handsome.

Now i'm a combo breaking faggot.

Mac Sirloin 03-02-2011 03:34 PM

Now I have just watched a Wuxia Kung-Fu film called Royal Tramp 2 (didn't get to watch the first). It was unstoppably funny. Released in 1992, was the 4th top grossing film in China that year, and stars Stephen Chow. It didn't really have a plot, but the main character definitely becomes the ultimate Kung-Fu champion by having sex. It is essentially about a horny conman, and everyone is better at Kung-Fu than him. Fucking Masterpiece.

Kid has sex one time and suddenly he's the cock of the walk

Mac Sirloin 03-02-2011 03:56 PM

There was actually a bunch more I added to that post (including a small party about a movie I watched), but then all of the women who control the Vbulletin posting system had their attention diverted from me for a split second and it didn't get posted.

It's a hard life, mine.

The only thing I really liked about Kick-Ass was Hit Girl but mostly that they put Sparks' This Town Ain't Big Enough For the Both of Us. When I heard that song I was like YEEEEEES!
