'Dirty Girls'
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.
Who, I learned, was the ONLY emperor of Qin! He ruled with an iron fist for 30-some-odd years, died, and his son was promptly overthrown.
Which events were the backdrop of the opera (not the movie) Farewell My Concubine.
If not for movies, I would know nothing at all about world history.
I love Milla. I think she's my Angelina Jolie-lite.
I once saw Milla as the opening act at a Crash Test Dummies show.
She has an amazing voice. And? If that was not a 'stage persona', she's got a few screws, loose, bent, melted and sauted.
I'm pretty eh on Milla as an actress, but I've found a song by her that I really like off the Rules of Attraction soundtrack.
She may also be Juliette Lewis-lite.
exactly! That's so it.
Resident Evil is so not comparable to Event Horizon. Event Horizon wanted to pretend it had a point until it turned into a gore fest. Resident Evil was a gore fest from the beginning and was perfectly fine. It embraced its goriness.
And the commentary's a hoot.
Event Horizon wanted to pretend it had a point until it turned into a gore fest.
Was is the hooks in Jason Isascs' back that fooled you?? Seriously, I never guessed that EH had any pretense at all. I mean, okay, "arty excessively baroque engineering design", yes. But the minute the not-survivors were recorded doing their thing in Latin, I just started laughing and didn't stop.
Event Horizon was on the spooky space mystery movie track until Kathleen Quinlan took a header onto a metal deck twenty feet below. Then it took an abrupt left turn onto the incomprehensible gore fest track. And then Sam Neill put his eyes out.
Oh, man, I shouldn't have looked at Paul W.S. Anderson's IMDB page. I didn't actually realize he did both movies we'd been talking about. But Mortal Kombat and Soldier didn't suck. I wonder what happened to Event Horizon.
