I'm always interested in the point at which "I don't like this." becomes "This is shit."
I always thought taste was subjective. _____________________________________ ::swoon:: |

Well, yeah. Totally subjective!
Um. Unless it's Uwe Bolle's In the Name of the King. Then it's always just shite.  |

 Becoming Jane "A biographical portrait of a pre-fame Jane Austen and her romance with a young Irishman" Beautifully shot story of the young JA, but oh so difficult to watch, for a heathen such as myself. The acting was fine, the sets were lavish BUT the dialogue was so precise, proper and so damn olde worlde. One for the tradishionalists and the scholars amongst us. Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy were very watchable but i don't think i'll suffer it again. Jeez, made Coco Avante Chanel seem like a action flick! Tarantino - love his angle and adored his early work, thought Kill Bill was quite tiresome, yet his last double bill was very watchable. Not seen the new WW2 brutefest todate, having heard mixed reviews. I'll no doubt catch the torrent; can't see Mrs Bic enjoying it. |

I don't know why they even let that man make movies anymore. My friends and I tried to watch Bloodrayne and we couldn't even get past the first 20 minutes. Haven't touched one of his POS movies since then. _______________________ "The cure for boredom is Curiosity. There is no cure for Curiosity" - Dorothy Parker |

Yeah, whatever deal Uwe made with Satan was well-crafted indeed. Actually, they were probably both pretty happy about it.
Uwe gets unlimited sponsorship to keep making movies, no matter how terrible he is at it. Satan gets to sponsor the celluloid equivalent of hell-on-earth. Doesn't even have to wait for people to die to torture them! |

Good Dick - Weird little film about a video store clerk who falls in love with a really damaged girl and stalks her home to try and get to know her better. Really quite good! A love story, but thoroughly whacked compared to the normal Hollywood love story.
(And no, that is not the guy's name.) |

All this talk about Tarantino has made me go back and watch some of his movies again. Watched Reservoir Dogs again and that movie is just wonderful. So many little things add up to greatness.
I also watched Death Proof, which I think I enjoyed more this time. It's still slow, but I expect it so it's not as offputting. It's definitely not his best work, but has some good moments. But yeah, Death Proof is proof positive Tarantino has a foot fetish. No denying it. ------------------------------------------ Looking to escape reality at every turn. |

Take-out - I really wanted to like this movie, but in the end I just can't.
The idea is cool--he has until the end of the night to pay some loan sharks $800 or they double his debt--but the main character plays it just too taciturn. I think he got to actually emote like 5x in the course of 1.5 hours of acting, maybe? So about 70% of the film ends up being shots of him biking somewhere looking concerned, walking somewhere looking concerned or just standing there waiting for them to pay him (looking concerned, of course). And the production quality is pretty low too. In the end, I just can't recommend it. |

Jorge Cervantes' ULTIMATE GROW - This is a very fun, info-dense presentation on how to build a small grow room inside a house. All stages of construction are covered, albeit not always in fine detail (but this DVD is meant as a companion to a book, so what do you want, everything?)
It's not that I want to grow my own crop or anything, you understand? I am a fan of PROCESS: how people do the things they do, especially things that are conducted in secrecy or away from the public eye. Or maybe just unusual things. Anyway, there's something innately interesting about the process of growing something clandestinely inside a home that normally would thrive on its own outside in the wild. What a backwards world we live in. Thanks law-makers. Thanks racist southerners. Thanks Nixon. Fuckwads. *************************************************** * MEB_Registered: 20122002 |

Heh. Been observing that process lately, even contributed some time, as a scientific investment, in said project. State lisenced and producing now...very interesting. Head bloodied yet unbowed. |

G.I. Joe. I don't know if I would say good, but alright. I do think it was more fun than the trailer made it out to be.
District 9. Is not "The X-Files" meets "They Live". Final Destination 3-D. You know, I was raised by television, and I always feel I live in movies like this. Home, what it is. Call it Thursday night at the club. |

The trailer for this made me burst out laughing. I've never actually watched any of the series; looks like total tripe to me. Bleh. On that note, finished up season 3 of DR WHO. Well, season 3 of the latest production. I mean, this show has been around since the 60's. Bit hard to keep them all straight sometimes. Good thing the plot's about time traveling, then, innit? = D *************************************************** * MEB_Registered: 20122002 |

Just got done with disc 4 of Firefly again. That show makes me simultaneously so happy and so angry.
So happy that I get to watch 12 episodes of incredibleness. So angry that those morons at Fox cancelled it before it got the audience attention and the 5 year run it truly deserved. |

Funny. Not revolutionary, but funny enough. Adventureland I loved it. It made me feel like Almost Famous does. _____________________________ Albert's path is a strange and difficult one. |

The Boat That Rocked
Magnificent. Uplifting, and hilarious. Idiocracy This movie is a pretty accurate depiction of everything I hate about the World, and about North America in particular. I laughed. Uncomfortably. I'm now off to make overeducated socialist atheist babies. _____________________________ Albert's path is a strange and difficult one. |

Idiocracy is up there in my favorite movies, possibly my #1 movie. Not in a feel-good' way necessarily (although I laughed harder watching this than any "comedy" I've ever seen) but in a nail-on-the-head, hard-hitting, important way.

My reaction to 'The Boat That Rocked' (I think it's here somewhere) was dramatically different, but I'm glad it worked well for you.
