'Sleeper'
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.
Tonoght I was up for some mindless entertainment. So despite making fun of it, I saw I, Robot. I went in with no expectations except maybe pretty special effects--and that was what it delivered. Nothing about it was original, but lots of shiny stuff to look at.
And, um, Will Smith was good.

Is it worth it for the naked?
There is naked?
A friend had Bad Boys 2 on tonight. Never saw the first one, or the first half of this one, but if there's one thing Michael Bay can do, it's film Will Smith to look particularly pretty.

He was in an odd pose for a person in the shower. I think the odd pose was so you couldn't see his naughty bits. You could sorta see his butt though.
He goes without his shirt quite a lot.
Thanks P.M.
Bad Boys I & II are pretty much only good for the Will-shirtless.
I saw II specifically because I caught a glimpse of Henry Rollins in the preview.
They should TELL you when that glimpse is all your gonna get for the whole damn movie.

Exactly!
Now I'm morbid, but amused.
I live to please. Especially you.

She's back again in Supremacy.
I don't know if it's rentable, but the gigantic Criterion edition of Brazil has a wonderful commentary by Gilliam. He gets entertainingly ranty.
It's weird how we're so critical of Hollywood blockbusters when they don't make sense but movies like this get a free pass.
There's a difference between movies that reward rewatching because the action is complicated or dense, and movies where rewatching just makes you notice even more appalling nonsense. I suppose it's a matter of whether I feel like the creators knew what was happening and why, instead of having the strong impression that they didn't give a damn.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhauser gate.
Is this a discussion about classicly good sci fi films?
Cause this quote really throws me into nostalgia mode for 'Soldier'.
