Pretty stoked for a Canadian movie that doesn't look like total shit (Hobo with a Shotgun notwithstanding)

saw the trailer for that yesterday and thought it looked pretty awesome.  i looked up info on it and it said that it came out in 2010 (maybe just at festivals?)  a lot of the reviews were pretty brutal, but I still think it looks pretty awesome.  also, with a carpener-esque analog synth score by one of the guys from Black Mountain and I'm eating this shit up with a spoon

I just saw Drive for the first time. It was pretty good. Watching christina hendricks get her head liquified was interesting.

Nailed it with my Valentine's Day selection, thankfully. As much as I loved Rango, this better take the animated Oscar.

Saw it, really liked it, the first of the new DC animated stuff, hadn't seen anything since Mask of the Phantasm

Siskel & Ebert Review Batman Mask of The Phantasm

Found it and watched it, I really liked it too. Totally into the animated Batman again, brings me back to my childhood

I don't know if it's just me but lately newer movies have just been awful.  The only decent movies are ones that are older that I have not seen.  I have not seen one in a long time that I thought was just incredible.  It was a weird movie but Nuts with Barbara Streisand was good only because it was different than the norm and I was in a similar situation last year:



I know most things to do with her are God awful but this was actually a very powerful movie.

Yes, this is just you. Of course there are shitty movies but those have always been around. If you would just expand your horizons a bit you would see tons of great movies. I have a pretty selective taste and I thought 2011 was a fantastic year for movies. You're smoking crack if you think there aren't that many good movies anymore.

saw chinatown for the first time, good watch.

right now I'm watching "Człowiek z żelaza/man of iron" in the polish version. it's a movie from the 80's and about a journalist who tries to spy on a member of solidarnosc. the movie is shot in my hometown gdansk and the main character has the same last name as I have, which pretty wierd, because it's a german last name that only my family had in communist poland.

Kramer VS Kramer



Great film, heartbreaking at times. My parents went through a similar split but my sister and I lived with our Mom. Made me really reflect on how hard it must have been for our Dad only seeing us once a week for dinner and every other weekend. I loved the movie

Bloodsport



Finally the avatar is explained. This is the first JCVD movie I've seen. What are his best movies? This movie wasnt without its 80s cheese but Van Dam is a badass

Brick



Second time seeing it. Made it easier to pick up on the fast paced dialogue knowing what the fuck was going on. Absolutely love the editing style of this one. Every shot and camera movie feels meticulously planned out, one of my favourites.

Lincoln Lawyer



After seeing trailers for it, did not give it a chance. It looked really shitty. Way better than I though it would be, still not great but solid. Really good cast, nice surprise to see Cranston in it, I thought William H Macy was good for the small amount of screen time he had. Outside of Dazed and Confused I think this is one of McConaugheys better ones

50/50



Another Joseph Gordon Levitt film. This guy continues to get better with every film hes in. Played this one perfect, not too overdramatic. Made some of the scenes leading towards the surgery tough to watch because he was so nonchalant about the situation.

And shes just a plus, shes really sexy

I watched Stripes the other day and laughed my ass off. Bill Murray needs to do more movies.

HALP

I need to pick a monologue to do for a theatre class. If y'all have any in mind, please let me know.

Hello, little man. Boy, I sure heard a bunch about you. See, I was a good friend of your dad's. We were in that Hanoi pit of hell together over five years. Hopefully, you'll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your dad were for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other. If it'd been me who'd - not made it, Major Coolidge'd be talking right now to my son Jim. But the way it turned out, I'm talking to you. Butch. I got somethin' for ya. This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-grandfather during the first World War. It was bought in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee,. Made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. Up 'til then, people just carried pocket watches. It was bought by Private Doughboy Erine Coolidge on the day he set sail for Paris. This was your great-grandfather's war watch and he wore it everyday he was in that war, and when he'd done his duty, he went home to your great-grandmother, took the watch off, put it in an old coffee can, and in that can it stayed until your granddad, Dane Coolidge, was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War II.

Your great-grandfather gave this watch to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Dane was a Marine and he was killed -- along with all the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death. He knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin' that island alive, so three days before the Japanese took the island, your granddad asked a gunner on an Air Force transport, name of Winocki - a man he had never met before in his life - to deliver to his infant son who he'd never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your granddad was dead, but Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father his dad's gold watch. This watch. (He held the watch up - and paused) This watch was on your daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured, put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew that if the gooks ever saw the watch, it'd be confiscated and taken away. The way your Dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slope's gonna put their greasy, yellow hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it in one place he knew he could hide something - his ass. Five long years he wore this watch up his ass. Then, he died of dysentery. He give me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. Now, little man, I give the watch to you.

Ding!

Yeah I thought about the watch monologue but I think it would exceed our time limit. I was thinking of Morgan Freemans "rehabilitated"(?) monologue in Shawshank.

Im downloading 20 Gigs of DragonBall right now. When it was on TV when I was a kid I would watch it but I was always bad with sticking to a schedule and missed tons of episodes. Im not even sure how many universes, series, characters there are or any of that. Ive just heard it goes bat shit crazy.

Liev Schreiber did all the voiceovers for HBO's 24/7. Most epic narrator voice next to Morgan Freeman

I watched Inglourious Basterds again last night. That one and 'No Country For Old Men' are pretty close to perfect movies for me

Gotta say, I've never watched anything as unsettling as Twin Peaks. It is amazing but I'm shitting my pants, the first 3 episodes of the 2nd season are insane

Easily the scariest show I've seen

There is
- Dragon Ball: 153 episodes, which is the more funny series because a young Goku is the main focus
- Dragon Ball Z: either 291 or 279 episodes depending if the series also intregrated the specials or not
- and Dragon Ball GT (created with the consent of Akira Toriyama, but not by him and thus horribly failing): 64 episodes

And there are also a bunch of specials and movies, most of them take place at some point in the series (or are a part of the series), and sometimes the facts are a little bit changed. For example in the series some characters are dead at one point and they appear in the movies, so they are like a seperate story.

But the specials are part of the series' story and they are real nice, like "Bardock, Father of Goku" or "The History of Trunks", but I suggest you watch these at either a specific time in the series or after the related saga, so it doesn't get confusing.

I also found a real dragon ball gem on a yard sale about ten years ago; the 3 original movies from 1986



and I also found this recently online: Dragon Ball Episode Of Bardock - FULL VERSION - HD [ENGLISH SUBTITLED]
It's a special from 2011 continuing the special 'Bardock, Father of Goku' and I was fucking stoked!

You have to be kidding, I saw that movie high as fuck in the cinema and it wasn't even funny then. So predictable. Worst ?5 i've spent in a while.

Watched this two nights in a row because I was too hungover to understand it the first time. Great story, voiceovers and animation.
