Sooo.. last night I saw some movie.. something about Travelling Sisterhood of the Dumb Pants.. well, something like that. It had to do with a pair of dumb magic jeans. That's all I really got out of it. Pretty stupid movie, but it kept my attention.. I think I was just in awe. Its one of those things - its so horrible you can't take your eyes off of it.

In other news, I celebrated Johnny Depp's birthday yesterday. Haha, we put together a Pirates of the Caribbean puzzle while we watched that dumb Sisterhood of the Jeans movie.

I also watched The Long Hot Summer and Meet me in St. Louis. I loovveee Paul Newman. Love. And Meet me in St. Louis is always a classic.

Turner Classic Movies is my savior.

Yeah I'm starting to check the TV Guide everyday to see what's playing that evening

Are they commercial free?

Yes and no. In between features they will have the occasional mini documentaries about certain actors or directors and small spots for newly released or restored DVDs. You know, useful ones. All the movies are introduced by one of several people.

But the films themselves run commercial free.

That's awesome. I should look into that.

I'm going to get to watch Last Days tonight.

A Fistful of Dollars ***

Probably my 2nd favorite Clint Eastwood movie (behind only Escape From Alcatraz, but it might be better than it, I'd have to rewatch that too). A great movie, with a great cast and great score. My favorite of The Man With No Name Trilogy. And I'm getting pissed off waiting for the Region 1 Special Edition DVD

What a great movie. I hope you enjoy it.

Full Metal Jacket
1987/Kubrick

A very interesting film, told in a kind of non-judgemental style. R. Lee Ermey turns in a fantastic if not common performance for him, but he made the first half of the movie. One especially interesting thing was the ever-present flames once the film moved its focus to Vietnam. This gave every scene shot there a sense as if it were being filmed in hell, which clearly helped to reflect some of the soldier's mentalities. Overall, a film that was unique for how routine it seemed. Kind of odd it took Kubrick 7 years to put this together, as it wasn't exactly an epic film of grand porportions or anything like that. Still solid though. My next Kubrick will be Barry Lyndon or Eyes Wide Shut.

4/5 Stars

SPOILERS
The scene in the rest-room where Pyle slowly says "762 millimeter full metal jacket" remained in my thoughts for many days after I saw the movie. Great scene and a great turning point for the movie.
END SPOILERS

SPOILER
Yeah D'Onofrio was great. Kind of wished he had been in more of the film.
SPOILER

Underworld Evolution ** 1/2

A worthy sequel to the original Underworld. However, it's still inferior to its predecessor. Hopefully they'll make a 3rd

Fell asleep right when those two guys from the Mormon church came to Blake's house.

So is that bad for the movie or yourself?

Watch the fucking movie DA.

Posieden

I went to see it in the cinemas and id say it was a great movie with brilliant effects! If your very squenmish id beware as there is a lot of dead people and people being killed by lifts and things falling and being drowned!

omfg ded ppl?

YES dead people (but not ded ppl!) lol

You wanna' see a dead people movie? See Salo. That movie is disturbing to everyone, with it's flagrant pedophilia and child murder.

I looked it up on the net yeah it does look a bit gruesome!

So is that bad for the movie or yourself? [/b][/quote]No no, it's for me. I just dozed off.

Hagen, you noticed at the finale how when Joker shoots the sniper, for a brief shot, his peace symbol button is "hidden" from view?

If anything, while the first half is superb, I always prefered the 2nd half. Maybe its because unlike other Vietnam pictures, a film about the "jungle war" instead was fought in urban battlefields.

Hagen, the major sequence where Animal charges to fight the sniper, I always thought of that as Kubrick's visual statement on the American conflict in Vietnam. That is, you have one person firing away, but still one person that is insignificant compared to thousands of soldiers with better weapons. However, the platoon gets drawn into this firewar, where mostly because of Animal's need for revenge, several of his own guys get wasted. I mean, at least 3-4 are lost, with Animal blasting the whole area with his RAMBO-like machine gun-firing, and what for? To eliminate a chick.

Well, at least a pretentious thought from me.
