Simon ,'Objects In Space'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
OK, finally saw Matrix Revolutions. Now we can return it to Netflix.
After viewing, it's not much of a wonder that we had it in our home, unwatched for THREE months.
Now, we just need to watch Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and then it's Notorious C.H.O and Hellboy! Whee!
Have I mentioned how we suck at watching movies?
OK, so I'm watching Army of Darkness on TV this afternoon. Admittedly, looking for sense in an Evil Dead movie is probably futile, but I didn't remember from viewing a decade ago that all the creepy stuff with Ash's mirror images at the windmill happened before he improperly grabbed the Necronomicon.
I think there may have been some creative for-TV editing, Matt. Because every version (and there are a couple, a la Blade Runner) I've seen has that happen after he fucked up the quote from The Day The Earth Stood Still.
Now that I've seen The Bourne Supremacy, it's doubleplusfunny that Nutty should have asked about krav and rolled up magazines, considering today's class was get the stick, beat up the guy with the knife. Not that it always works, but it's a really good place to start.
Watching the original Manchurian Candidate on PBS right now.
Yahoo is reporting that Eric Bana will be the next James Bond.
I don't think I've seen him in anything, so I'm not sure what to think about that.
This report says the report comes from the News of the World. So not a definitive source.
Mom caught a bit of Army of Darkness when I was tryign to get her universal remote to work... she liked what she saw, which is kind of weird...
And I still can't get this stupid remote to recognize the dvd player, she got it at Christmas and it was working but the batteries ran down. We don't have the documentation but I found a website thanks to Deena, but there aren't any codes for dvd players. In fact there's no information about dvd players at all, it's all just vcrs, cable boxes, and tvs. But there's a button that says dvd on the remote.
I've been trying to just search until the remote works but so far my attempts trying to work the dvd player have just turned off the tv.
I Netflixed a film he did called "Chopper" where he played this famous Australian inmate and I've seen "Troy" and that's it.
"Chopper" was in general, not my thing but he did do an excellent job as Hector in "Troy".
I stopped watching Chopper shortly after he whipped his dick out at the bar. I found I didn't like or hate him enough to keep watching -- just a bit of contempt.
Bana was good, though.
