I like the fact that he can be creative and rhyme without the use of repetitive explitives. Will Smith is kuh-oool in my book.

He's black, though...Black people cannot be "kuh-oool" unless we, whites, give them permission to be. We are their owners, after all.
|
*nervous laughter*
I hope you're joking. |
I hope your joking...
|
Hang on... black people invented cool. Any level of coolness we whities have developed is only due to dissection and imitation.
In any case Jacob, weren't you the guy who was criticising me a little while back for using the word 'cool' cos it was so pre-pubescent? |
I didn't use it, i quoted it.
And white people did have "cool" before blacks came along. The blacks just stole it and raped it, like they did with our white women, our pure, white women. The best thing a black man can do is kill another black, dammit. Heathens, the lot of them. |
Oh man, Napoleon Dynamite is the best movie ever. Holy crap. I love it so much. I've seen it twice now and I'm going a third time this Friday. Oh gosh. Best. Movie. Ever.

And I command that the topic of black people and coolness be dropped now. If you want to continue it, PM it or start a thread, rather than going Off-Topic. |
Tonight I somehow managed to get off from work early and saw Hero with a few friends.
I must say, wonderfully choreographed fight scenes, absolutely stunning visuals, but a horridly convoluted plot. I even began to question the use of monochromatic color schemes, which at first seemed clever, by the end of the movie. Overall, I was disappointed. The story line should have been either dumbed-down enough to become comprehensible, or at least been made coherent enough to follow. The fact that it was in Mandarin with english subtitles didn't help much either. I mean, Mandarin goes by super-friggin-fast. If you let your gaurd down, you'll often miss the last word of a sentence. However, it wouldn't really matter if the movie was in english our not. You can smell a rotten plot no matter what culture you belong to. And seriously. How many times can Broken Sword die? Oh my yes. I SO care about this character considering this is the fourth or fifth time he has "died." Trust me, that's hardly even a spoiler. Bottom line: Once again, as with almost EVERYTHING I almost like... great starting concept, poor execution. But to Hero's credit, it does have some impressive fight scenes. ... Kill Bill was better, even if it did have much less action. On the upside, new previews for Shaun of the Dead (Yay! We get it in Merka land!) and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Don't let the lame name fool you. The artistic value of this film shall make it a cult classic. I guarantee. |
Shaun Of The Dead is ****ing amazing, you Americans will love it.
|
Meh, maybe, the Yanks have a completely different sense of humour to the British.
Which reminds me, did 'The Office' do well stateside? |
Mind you Jacob, it isn't the same office we know and love, it was shot again for America, and featured cameos from the famous peoples and stuff.
|
I laughed out loud twice during the preview and giggled profusely. I'll probably like Shaun of the Dead. Plus... zombies. I love zombies.
|
"Facking 'ell! Oh, He's got an arm off!"
That was the bit that did it for me. Same for you SeaRex? |
Merkans have different previews, I'm guessing.
|
Hmmmmmmm, I guess they do.
I think you'll enjoy this film, most British comedies are amazing. |
*****SPOILERS*****
**********Speaking of films i went to see "The Village" last week and was really disappointed, anyone conisdering seeing it personally don't bother if you don't you mind screwed with. The film was set in victorian times (or so i thought) and a blind woman ventured into the woods to get medicine for her boyfriend who had been stabbed. She killed a "monster" by jumping away at just the right moment so it fell down a hole then she went over a wall and the timeline of the whole film jumped a "few" years and she was in present day time. A park ranger in a Land Rover kindly got her medicine and she went back into the woods. Seems they'd been living isolated in a nature reserver a few hundred years behind our time. I wouldn't call it confusing, just plain wierd.********** |
You just gave away the whole movie! Edit your post! Some people still might want to see that movie! :flames:

Hmmm... Hellboy? Looks migthy interesting.

**************The Village Spoilers******************
I hate spoiler warnings - I like to surprise people. But I was attacked last time; it seems people don't like surprises. :
Basically, a man who had lost somebody precious to him through crime (stabbing and the like) and was a proffessor, and called around a bunch of other people in the same position. This is in 1980's, most probably. Possibly aerlier, into the 50's-70's. Anyway, all these people come up with a plan. That is, they go create a utopian village in the middle of an isolated wooded area where no such grief could ever strike them again. The main guy creates the notion of monsters in order to both sccare people out of the ilsolated area, and to scare the villagers into staying within the confines of the village. To make it more real, they proclaim that the colour red attracts the creatures (and so they must hide it) and they throw raw animal meat into the forest to them. The place for their village is in the middle of a park reserve where nobody is allowed to go, and it surrounded on all sides by a wall. Rangers patrol around the wall with siren cars (the monster howls, making them more real). Within the village, the 'elders' create a late 19th Century lifestyle, using only 19th century things. They even pay the US government to make flying planes and choppers over their village illegal, to increase the 19th C feeling. Utopia is nice. They have children and the like, and the main elder has a daughter who is blind, whilst another has a child with 'problems'. We're not sure exactly what they are, but its probably autism or something of that nature. Anyway, the generation of children grow up in their victorian lifestyle, until an illness strikes and one of the new generation wants to go outside of the village and forest, claiming the monsters won't touch him, to get medicines for the ill person. The elders refuse; they don't want their cover and utopia blown. This guy then falls in love with the blind person, and there is much courting and jealousy from the autistic (who loves her as well, but she cannot love him). While working one day, the autistic comes to the guy who is in love and stabs him in the stomach. He runs away with the knife and is locked up in his house. While the guy is dying on some bed from the stab wound, the blind lover trieds to persuade her father to let her go get some medicines for him. He ends up revealling to her that the monsters are fake, and that they needed to be invented for their protection, but does not mention the jolted timeframe or irregularties in their utopia. He ends up letting her go (for love and stuff), and she goes into the forest. However, the autstic has found one of the monster suits and broken out of the house and is chasing her in the forest. He ends up inpaling himself while trying to attack her on some sharp things, and the blind lass finds the road which leds out of the reserve. She asks a guy in a siren van to take her to medicine point, and he does so. he gets medicine (this is Shyamalan's cameo), and takes her back. She doesn't know about the car, cus she's blind 'n' all. She comes back through the forest and gives them the medicine. He ends up recovering, and the elders have a conference where they say that they'll say the monsters killed the autistic, making the monsters even more real. Nobody is any the wiser of their dreams for utopia. Clues that they're only pretending to be 19th century: The alluminium fencing right right right at the beginning in the opening scene of the funeral. Because everyone is obssessed with Shyamalands twist, here they are: #1: The monsters aren't real, the elders dress up #2: It's actually in modern times, as shown by the nature reserve walls, the modern truck, the newspapers, radios etc etc etc near the end. People go into his movies looking for the twists. That ruins it. Go into the his movies wanting to watch a good movie. The twists are natural and nice (which people didn't like). Don't expect a Sixth Sense film here. |
I really liked I, Robot. It is my movie of the year, but I have only seen like four.
|
Anyone seen Hellboy? Is it worth it?
What about Bourne Supremacy? Do I have to have seen Identity? |
Bourne Supremacy has the worst direction I have seen in a long time - they really need a steady-cam.
|
Have you seen Saving Private Ryan or Blair Witch? Those films made me nauseous.
|
I think 'The Blair Witch...' is such a good film. Thooperliciously spooky...in a...amateurish kind of way.
'Saving Private...' is good, if only for the semi-amusing deaths. |
Well, being such a big fan of Spielberg, and with that film being mentioned on the letter from him, all year I had been waiting for the Terminal to come out, and by god it was worth the wait!
But I am looking forward to my upcoming film 'Joe & Gramps 2' for the BBC |
Leeum, you clearly did not understand The Village at all, so don't go calling it crap.
I thought it was good, but not as scary as I had hoped. ***Spoilers*** I was disappointed that the monsters weren't real. I also never saw the fact that the director was trying to hide that they were in present time. I thought that was a given right from the start. I just thought they were amishes or something. |
:
I just saw that as well. During the first half hour, I was like, "Hey, this is pretty clever, I like it..." but then it just dragged. And dragged. AND DRAGGED. Jesus. ****SPOILERS**** I thought it was so pointless how they used like 50 billion arrows to kill the main guy at the end. Honestly, I can just imagine the janitor having to go through and pick all of those out of the doors. Such a horrible job. |
The Village was a wonderful movie. It sucks to see all these people bluntly hating it just because they didn't understand it, goddamnit.
