Okay, I've worked very hard to eradicate all traces of Event Horizon from my memory so everyone can just stop talking about it RIGHT NOW.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

I have no particular bile for anderson, but if you can hunt down the original script for soldier, you may decide that anderson's soldier does suck. My old link is dead, but I recall a western in space/what starship troopers should have been kind of deal.
Of course, this may be one of those times when my memory decides that what actually happened was dull, so it invents something more exciting for me.
Oh, and I also saw milla's band once, and think she probably is genuine euro-crazy. She did marry Luc Besson after all.

Okay, Resident Evil lovers, why??
Nutty, did you miss the part where I mentioned I'm a giant fan of the video games?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I do hate the carefree-woman-liberates-stuffy-man genre
My least favorite is Crazy Person Is Saner Than The Rest Of Us.
Hmm. I mostly agree, and yet, one of my very favorite movies is Harold and Maude, which could arguably fit into both categories.
Resident Evil, well, it didn't suck as much as I expected it to! But there is much I will forgive for Milla. Probably too much. She and Kate Winslet tip my Kinsey scale, ooh baby. And her album's pretty good too--she has a kind of Kate Bush-esque thing going on.
Okay, and having asked about The Apple over in F2F, I have now read Jess's description and oh! I must see this movie.

Well, also, I hate Milla Jovovich with the passion of a thousand fiery clambakes.
I can understand indifference to, or not really caring for, but how in the hell could she ever inspire that much hatred?
Of course, I've heard her album, and she does have a damn fine singing voice; very Kate Bush, actually. So I may be pro-biased. The fact that she pulls the crazy while singing? Just icing.
Event Horizon was a great concept (i.e. Solaris as a horror movie), but then they just made an outer space Hellraiser out of it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Three words -- The Fifth Element.
Sean, your hyphenated enthusiasm is making the board scrolly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Three words -- The Fifth Element.
Two words -- Bruce Willis.
Two more -- Chris Tucker.
I had no hate left over.

Is that better, Jessica? I edited it, but it never scrolled in my browsers, so I can't tell if I fixed it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I LOVED the Fifth Element. Mostly because I'm the hugest sucker EVER, actively like Chris Tucker in a dress, don't care one way or the other about Bruce Willis (part-dependent), and saw it late at night.
