What movie did you last watch? - Page 22

FenrisQueen · 01-10-2005, 02:47 PM

Well, i watched both the believer and CAMP today, so I'll talk about both of them.
The believer is about a jewish Skinhead, it's a very interesting movie, though I had to cover my eyes at some of the scenes.
CAMP is about well, arts camp. It's actually a very funny movie.

Al: At least it wasn't a puppy!

Ahh yes, the name. Its been my screen name for a long time. Here's the story, if you're interested:
My last horse (I JUST sold her) was a thoroughbred and her registered name is Cordialwelcome. When we bought her several years ago I made it my screen name and I haven't changed it since.

I rented it again. And then the DVD was scratched so we went back and got it on VHS. I went though *SO* much for this movie- I traveled the United States, and I went back to my local video source *twice*. What I do for a little classic Shakespeare...

Cordial: Cool.

On the topic: Punch Drunk Love. I really liked the images in it, the camera angles and just the design of how the scenes were set up. The plot wasn't awesome, but it was worth the four dollars it costs to rent movies these days.

winged_dreams · 01-11-2005, 07:55 PM

My friend was supposed to get me Punch Drunk Love for Christmas but he's in Japan right now. The last movie I watched was Secret Window. I liked the movie but I probably liked it so much because it had Johnny Depp in it. I'm just a little obsessed with that man!! *drools*

edible_eye · 01-11-2005, 08:03 PM

secret window was a fairly decent adaptation of a short story by stephen king. it was a good movie, regardless of the johnny depp factor, although he played a good part.

Watched "Caravan of Courage," which some of you may remember as one of the two Ewok Adventure movies that emerged from the wake of Star Wars' box office success. Early 80s. Not animated. I remember seeing this back when it first came out, but about the only thing I carried out of this film after having just seen it now is how to fight Ewok-style. That is, if anyone ever drops a small log on your foot, you turn around and run after the dipshit who dropped it on you, who will be on the ground for only reasons the editor would know, tackle him, and slug him good in the spine.

Actually, this movie wasn't nearly anywhere as bad as it's sequel. That would be "The Battle For Endor," which starts looking more like "Lord of the Rings" than the third-rate Star Wars spin-off it actually is. Witches and magic and troll warriors and all this silly shit. Neither film is spectacular (Deeeerhh), but "Caravan of Courage" is at least worthy of showing to a very early generation/your kids. Has a decent message about believing in yourself and whatnot and it's mildly entertaining. Second film has nothing to offer. They kill off the girl's entire family (the most influential characters are given a ho hum death) in the first five minutes, never really come to a resolve over that, and deliver no real message throughout the course of the film.

If you've seen these films before, it's pretty cool to see them again and slap your knee and say "Oh yeah, I remember that!" Typically these were films you've probably only seen once (if at all), so 20 years later it's kind of interesting to see them again in a new light.

Ewoks! e_e loves Ewoks!

edible_eye · 01-11-2005, 10:55 PM

heh. vile creatures.

how the fuck did he come up with that as an inspiration for a warrior race?

AlKilyu · 01-12-2005, 01:03 PM

EDIT: Sorry e_e!

^_^

ice · 01-12-2005, 04:14 PM

I think anything short of the real Ewoks are crap... I mean... when I was in first grade we'd play Star Wars and there'd be Ewoks... and bla. Real Ewoks are fuckin' kickass.

alkilyu -

braveheart defines life for me... well, that and spider man. somehow, you've managed to defile both meanings of life i hold dear to my heart, in less than a month.

ouch, man. really.

and howard dean? that hick-freak-wish-he-was-a-tough-guy?

ouch.

quick note: i can't claim credit for this pic.

AlKilyu · 01-13-2005, 08:14 AM

I am sorry e_e. I can't help it, the man is a fountain of creativity for me.

I made this

but the one you made/found is much better.
(that cat's face is really doing that in the original pic of it!)

edible_eye · 01-13-2005, 06:56 PM

heh. good one. your creative skills are unparalelled.

i found mine. as i said, i couldn't take credit.

TeapotScar · 01-13-2005, 09:32 PM

Heathers, but that is *OBVIOUSLY* the best movie *EVER*. It needs to be watched at least three times. The color of their outfits, the shots, the filming, the directing... sheer brilliance.

The Village

I was completely un-surprised by the ending. The *ending* ending- the part that was supposed to be really surprising, I had just *assumed* from clues given in the movie. The forshadowing was *way* too strong. However, the amazing artistic ability of the director kind of makes up for it. Also, the acting was phenomenal. Except for that one crap speech about love. All speeches about love are crap.

Nike · 01-14-2005, 05:24 AM

...watched some of my Werner Herzog dvds again...

ohh, I love Kinski...

"If I, Aguirre, want the birds to drop dead from the trees, the birds will drop dead from the trees. I am the Wrath of God! The earth I walk upon sees me and quakes!"

eh, and Dune, the old one....always liked the soundtrack so much.

My favorite part of Heathers is at the funeral where the nerds crack wise to the jocks and they get one in a head lock. He tells him to say he loves sucking dick, then forces him to say it like he means it. THEN, when the nerd is "saying it like he means it" complete with the "mmm", that's the funniest part of that movie to me.

I caught on to the ending of The Village early on too. I didn't want to see it but went on a date. My date was scared and stupid. I was bored and stupid. I have to say that the "special" character reminded me of Arnie from "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" in that I just wanted to beat the piss outta him constantly.

A series of unfortunate events

rosaf · 01-14-2005, 10:20 PM

The Village
Pretty disapointing

Granny-like_the_apple · 01-14-2005, 10:31 PM

The last half hour or so of Animal House. It's weird, because I totally would've sworn that I've watched it and hated it, but nothing was familiar and I liked it.

Oh, and is The Village the one where [um, possible spoiler alert? not that anyone cares, or should care, since it's obviously such a crap movie] it's just scaaaary old people in the woods? Remember when we were talking about that one crap movie in Blockbuster, S?

tiffany_the_writer · 01-14-2005, 11:27 PM

Animal House!!!! Cam and I LOVE that movie!! And I LOVE Tom Hulce too. I rented it from Blockbuster when my grandma was baby sitting us. Tee hee heeeee it's so easy to get away with stuff when grandmas are baby sitting. That's also really weird because I was just thinking I should go rent another movie he was in... maybe it's a sign! tee hee.

The last movie I watched was "A fistful of Dollars". Yay Clint Eastwood!!!

Haha- yeah I love that part. Especially because you can see the angel carrying the cross, directly behind Ram and the nerd. And you forget! He says "mmm- I can't get enough of it." Ha. Great movie.

And Granny- yeah, that's the one. It sucked as much as that kid said it would.

AlKilyu · 01-17-2005, 03:54 PM

That's great man! Happy to hear it. I will drive up and meet her once I get a newer car. I have a shitload of dough burning a hole in my pocket and no idea what kind of car to get.

Fucking beautiful.

Did you ever by chance ask JW if a soundtrack to ABT2 exsists and where I could get it??

Loy · 01-21-2005, 11:18 PM

Since he doesn't own any of the actual rights to the soundtrack, or what to do with it, it would be pointless to ask him. However, I'm sure some company overseas has released it (a lot of times with film soundtracks, the ones that don't get released stateside gets a european release since there's a bigger market over there for movie memorabilia).

And "GBU" is next week....tonight, it's "Suspiria" and "Tokyo Story" (she didn't like horror films until I showed her "Cure"....then again, she didn't like guys until me, so there you go).
