Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
Bwahahaha!
Ohta: Unfortunately, Kong has destroyed a good deal of the kitchen stadium subduing his sandowrm. He and Godzilla have both stoped cooking and are battling each other.

And something neither one, living on an Island, would ever see.
Well...unless you count the swamp worms, which looked EXACTLY LIKE THEM.]
The worst films of 2005 you should totally see anyway >[link]
I question the sanity of anyone who has seen more than one Uwe Boll movie.
Ouch.
“Memoirs of A Geisha” — Costumes? Check. Beautiful sets? Check. Actors with countless hours of dialect coaching under their kimonos? Check. Okay, let’s get that “Showgirls” script and we’ll change the dates, location and race of the women. Now, where’s our Academy Award nomination? Why you should see it anyway: Because you never knew that a P.F. Chang’s vision of “Oriental” would make this kind of cultural comeback. And when “Showgirls” made its bow in the mid 1990s, no one could have predicted it would become the cult phenomenon it is today. Seeing this now will guarantee you a spot on that future-camp bandwagon.
Heheheheheh:
I know the scene where Racism pushes Sandra Bullock down a flight of stairs deserves some kind of award.
So, we went to see Kong.
Good lord that was a long movie.
Peter Jackson wouldn't know a tight edit if it picked him up, tossed him in the air, caught him with its foot, and then flung him against a wall.
Andy and Naomi were amazing.
But there were several times when I said t River voice Doesn't make sense.
Yup.
Andy and Naomi were amazing.
But this. You know when I cried? On the frozen pond. And I think actually from that point on.
Jackson's kids were in there, again, too.
We noticed that, as well.
However, I thought the pond went on too long (as so much of the film did). Seriously. Eventually even ape-butt gets cold.
So, since Monday, I have seen Kong, Narnia, Geisha, and re-watched Love, Actually and Pirates of the Caribbean. In order of David-Love (from least-loved to most-loved) these movies go:
5) Geisha
4) Pirates
3) Kong
2) Narnia
1) Love
But I do quite like all of them. Pirates and Kong may switch places after the novelty wears off.
Talk about retreading holy ground:
According to IGN.com, writer/director Peter Farrelly (The Perfect Catch) is making progress on his update of The Three Stooges. "It will be an old time matinee feeling," he explains, "And we're thinking of going with complete unknowns or whoever the best actors are - Benicio Del Toro has expressed interest in playing Moe. Jeff Daniels has expressed some interest in playing Larry."
The script is made up of four 20-minute episodes with all the action set in the present day. "The first episode is them growing up in an orphanage...[and] ends with them as adults," says Mr F. "We want to shoot it in March and we want it out a year from now."
