Yes, but on the flip side I don't have your twin obsessions for cardboard and denim.

Secondhand Lions in the queue for tonight.

Lost in Translation in the box.

Great, I will have to see if it is availible at Blockbuster or something. Did they do a good job of portraying Dorian? Hmm. I'll go watch it now...

Thanks Cirdan!

It's been a while but I remember liking it very much. It is B&W but then the story is old so it still works. Enjoy

I saw The Butterfly Effect the other day, last Friday. It was excalent, everything was better then I thought it would be, except for the stupid teens talking behind us, and a verble fight breaking out imbatween two groups about talking to much (shut the **** up! no, you shut the **** up). *sigh* can no one shut up during movies?

I finally rented The Time Machine, which was really good, and Merlin, which was equally good. I also rewhached Hook the other day, and Pirates of the Carabean. They were great.

I saw the most facinating film last night. It's called Millenium Actress and it's anime.

This guy is totally obsesed with this actress who has gone into hiding, but he finds her and the film is about him interviewing her about her life. Her life and the movies she has been in blend so much that it is hard to tell them apart. Through her life she has been chasing a robber that she helped and fell in love with to give him back his key. In all her movies she is chasing someone that she loves as well. Also, there she has visions of a mysterious old woman who follows her through her life. The old woman tells her "You cannot escape your fate. Your fate is to burn in the flames of eternal love. I hate you more than I can bear, and I love you more than I can bear."

It's a really wonderful movie.

Passion of the Christ this afternoon, YAY

BeardofPants · 02-24-2004, 10:40 PM

Just saw it. Didn't see much to 'yay' about.

Damned depressing, it was. See, it's sad enough that he supposedly died for our sins, and if you believe that, well and good. But I don't. So, if he existed at all, as far as I can see, a good man died in vain. And it sucks. Barbaric animals.

Grey_Wolf · 02-25-2004, 03:21 AM

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
(MOOT, MOOT, MOOT, MOOT, MOOT) and League of Extra-Ordinary Gentlemen (MOOT, MOOT, MOOT, MOOT, MOOT).

I thought of Rating System for the 'moot:

1 Moot = lousy
2 Moots = mediocre
3 Moots = good
4 Moots = very good
5 Moots = Excellent

...What say ye?

Katt_knome_hobbit · 02-25-2004, 03:55 PM

Your idea is moot moot moot moot m00t.

I am in the middle on Dr. Shivago <-- I can't spell.

It gets five moots!

no i was YAY ing because i got to see it that afternoon and it was a good film, no im not a christian but i still respect him in the same way as Socrates both died for their beliefs rather than change them... hmm i might go see Once Upon a Time in Mexico today but i saw a bit of it awhile ago and it didnt look to great, no Desperado

Katt_knome_hobbit · 02-29-2004, 02:22 AM

There is a movie that I love that just came out on DVD and video called CAMP and it gets 3 thousand sold out seats in a theater, all with people screaming "MOOT!" at the top of their lungs!

It's about musical theater camp for teenagers.

Lady Tinuveil · 03-08-2004, 06:49 PM

I've just seen Lost in translation, Matchstick men, Face off, Finding nemo, & Gacy.
I just got a dvd player, and bought Confidence. Has anyone seen it? Has anyone seen Gacy?

Catgirl · 03-10-2004, 12:12 PM

I just finished watching Hidalgo the other day, and I thoguht it was pretty good

It was not the BEST movie I have seen, but it might just make the top 10. It had good action and a very good plot line. It even had some really good humorous parts. And even as me not being a Horse lover, it was not that bad.

hectorberlioz · 03-10-2004, 12:44 PM

Yeah, I thought it was great!
sorta reminded me of Indiana Jones, which is fine with me

BeardofPants · 03-10-2004, 03:27 PM

Millane, did you ever go see Once Upon a Time in Mexico? Was it crap?

I went to see 21 grams last night... .wow..... it was even BETTER than Mystic River!

Sean Penn is freaking amazing!

sun-star · 03-10-2004, 06:51 PM

I've just seen "Girl with a Pearl Earring". I liked it a lot. I've always been a bit dismissive of Vermeer and co. but maybe I'll take a closer look now. This is not a film for impatient people though - it was very sloooow

i didnt think it was that bad, as i suspected a far cry from desperado but still watchable at least, i love Johnny Depp at the moment, probably my fav actor for now so there you go, hahaha i also got round to watching Whale Rider (finally

) great film but no Once Were Warriors though i was happy to see Bully and Muller and Boogie

Lady Tinuveil · 03-16-2004, 03:33 AM
