'War Stories'
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 disliked both Underworld and Van Helsing. But at least I got the chance to mock the latter with Buffistas.
Different subject, my friends and I were discussing actors who never (or at least extremely rarely) die in movies and hit upon the fact that Liam Neeson "always" dies. We thought back through the movies we'd seen him in and the only one we immediately came up with where he lived was Rob Roy. I'm sure people here can rattle off plenty of others, though.
Breakfast on Pluto, Darkman, Kinsey.
(And probably not Batman, if the franchise lasts long enough to bring him back.)
And in Narnia he came back, so it doesn't really count.
The Woody Allen movie -- Husbands and Wives, I think?
And he was in the Steve Martin movie where Steve Martin was a charlatan preacher -- Leap of Faith, maybe?
He didn't die in either of those.
t edit Oh, and Schindler's List.
He didn't die in Nell, did he? And I haven't seen Gun Shy, but since it's a romantic comedy I doubt anyone offs him at the end.
Love, Actually.
In case anyone was unsure - 40 Year Old Virgin = STUPID.
I know, I know. I was not well last night.
Looks like Sean Bean is a good guy less than Liam Neeson survives.
Oh, and I liked 40 Year Old Virgin, though it was a little too human with the pain sometimes--unlike Wedding Crashers which allowed you to maintain a polite distance, all the better for howling with laughter.
I loved 40 Year-Old Virgin. I hurt myself laughing several places, and I thought it earned its sweet sad moments well. (Much like Apatow's other work -- I'm watching Undeclared on DVD, and I'd forgotten how good it was. Like Freaks and Geeks, only with less this-is-my-first-real-show self-consciousness.)

The scene with him riding on his bike and berating himself for being so stupid in front of the guys and saying stupid stuff? I had to laugh in order not to cry, because I've done/I do the same sort of self-berating. Not, of course, for exactly the same reasons, but you know what I mean.
I also liked 40-Year-Old Virgin a lot.
