Yeah, Killing Zoe is not as great as any Tarantino movie but it's a decent bank robbery flick, like you said. I would give it a 7/10. Eric Stoltz and Jean-Hughes Anglade were pretty good.
Anyway, I heard Roger Avary is in jail for manslaughter or some shit, wasn't he going to direct the Wolfenstein movie ? That would be mad. |
he's in jail? whaaa?
Yeah I heard about Wolfenstein. I don't know. He got on this videogame kick. Silent Hill was ok but meh in the end. It looked good though. I wish he just did nothing but Ellis books into movies. |

![]() My favorite Wilder/Lemmon film |
![]() 6/10 Not without its entertaining parts, but overall the plot just didn't satisfy, and I didn't really care about any of the characters. Good enough, but way overrated. ![]() 7.5/10 Pretty good if formulaic rock doc. It didn't make me respect Jim Morrison anymore, but it really just showed me just how awesome that BAND was. ![]() 5.5/10 Suffered from the classic Will Ferrel comedy syndrome in that while the movie has some big laughs, it just doesn't know what to do with itself once it comes time to actually pay attention to the plot. |
Will Ferrel just sucks.
|
Will Ferrell is ideal for 3-5 minute comedy sketches.
his movies are cringeworthy. |

Too many docs and books fiocus so muh on Jim's stage persona and lifestyle instead of focusing on the fucking music. The band was 3 very weird very disparate musical talents. If the Doors had been a NYC band they would have been the biggest media hype ever. |

I really like Elf a lot. And I think Step Brothers is hilarious. |
Quote:
I agree... they focus on OH JIM THE RIMBAUD TORTURED DRUNKEN LIZARD KING SOUL... dudes! Just start by saying "hey -- they were a rock band without a guitar" and already it's like "oh yeah, interesting!" |
Quote:
forgot about Elf. I enjoyed that. I have yet to see stepbrothers. will wathc it whil my fiancee is in las Vegas this weekend she abhors will ferrell like I abhor techno |
Step Brothers ... I don't know. I just think it's great. I mean it's pretty much what you think it is -- stupid. But it's hilariously stupid. Sample:
JM: Were you playing my drums? WF: No. JM: Then why are you sweating? JM: I was watching Cops. |
My brother said to watch it.
I got Fitzcarraldo coming on Netflix. gonna watch that this weekend. tooooooo |
make sure you aren't sleepy and you have 2 1/2 assnumbing hours to spare!

Anchorman is a masterpiece IMO, one of the funniest movies of all time.
Both Step Brothers and Talladega Nights are funny, I have absolutely nothing against Will Ferrell (John C. Reilly is also really good). |
I didn't care for Talladega much. The part about Jesus being a baby was great, but for the most part...
Anchorman was awesome though. |
I rewatched Anchorman recently, it hasn't stood up well over the years - at all. Steve Carrell's character actually came across more as undeniably lame, and annoying than actually funny. Which is a shame, since I really used to love that flick. I saw Talladega Nights in theaters - it made me cringe.
Elf still makes me laugh, and I saw a good chunk of Step Brothers once, which completely exceeded my low expectations. I'll have to watch the whole thing eventually. I personally think Ferrell is at his best when playing secondary characters. Take Mugatu, from Zoolander, for instance. Ferrell completely stole the film. Which is hard to do, considering just how funny, and quotable of a film, Zoolander really is. ![]() He was also hilarious in both Old School, and The Ladies Man, where he played a secondary character in both films. He's incredible at playing off of other actors, but his performance weakens greatly once he's in the spotlight. I also thought he did a stellar job lending his vocal talents to The Oblongs. |
Old School! Damn, how'd I forget that? I love Old School. I love Frank The Tank.
|
wow..
|
it is what it is adam. Sometime entertainment need only entertain the eyeballs and brain being subjected. I mean whatever. I don't care if it makes me a dullard for laughing at Old School. I just do. And it just is.
|
He was cool in Zoolander. That's it.
|
he was funny in Zoolander, but it was whatever. I mean, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson were just as funny in it. It was a stupid movie so everyone worked.
|
I watched Rushmore for the first time in forever today and didn't like it very much at all. I don't like any of that guy's movies very much. Unlikeable characters, plots that don't do anything that interest me, just didn't feel like much of anything. Oh well.
Also been watching THE MUSIC VIDEOS OF MICHEL GONDRY dvd set. Now that's cool. Just being able to have "Sugar Water" and "Let Forever Be" and "Star Guitar" and "around the World" and etc to watch whenever I want to, on my tv, is great. |
Oh, I watched this recently
![]() "REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER" and it was probably the best mockumentary I've ever seen. That girl in the poster wears a Nurse shirt in it.. this one: ![]() ...really good, watch it if you like smart, funny films. |
I feel like Wes ANderson is best if yr young and hopeful (and quirky) .Each year you grow up 365 days more and his films are less relateable.
Never heard of Reg Sex Offender. But that Nurse shirt rules. |
You must be right NR... I'm young and hopeful, Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors (Rushmore being my favorite of his movies) so yeah it's just a thing you have when you're young and I can't even tell WHY I love his movies, I just love them.
(and yeah, that Sonic Nurse shirt mentionned earlier is awesome, I need to buy one of those ! Not a pink one of course.) |
oh, RSO is basically just the smartest, funniest, most inventive mockumentary ever, so it's been completely ignored and probably will never get a "proper" release because it's good.
Anderson.. I just don't get the appeal at all, it just seems like a big boring joke on the audience, really. The emptiness of his work doesn't appeal to me. |
Rushmore I loved when it came out. I still like it. Cept now I like Bill Murray more than Schwartzman.
Tannenbaums I still love. But nostalgia is heavy. Everything else I"m mostly meh. |

I turn 38 this year and I love all wes anderson's films. they contain more truth than most anyone else out there young director today. |

you could do that all day and i would laugh out loud all day but it might catch the attention of the boss lady |

what makes it so funny is this ok his wife is exactly the steriotypical hick chick money grubber.....the kids are true as they come white trash.....john c is wearing the same outfit my dad basically does it points out all of the things i have been thinking all these years about the people in my community. I love everyone and to each his own.........but you honestly dont know how many people here are REALLY like that its fuckin hillarious guess you have to grow up in Callahan to understand |

one of his best they are supposed to be stupid thats his appeal |
![]() I really liked it. Lots of great gore and scary situations. It was a bit different than the horror movies have been. I jumped alot. I did not like the ending. It was too over the top. I did notice a ton of political references and references to society. You have the fear of our own government poisoning us and lying to us. You have the soldier who doesnt know what the fuck is goin on. He just knows what he was commamded to do. The classic struggle of a soldier and how he has been viewed since the 60's. Then you pull in the fear of the country and rural areas which is really intriging for me for obvious reasons. Lots of movies play up on this lately. Are city people really scared of the country??? have we moved that far from our natural state that we are frightened by nature? The hunters gone gun crazy and hunting thier neighbors obviously this ties in with the current Pro gun discussions and fears that arise from those who oppose guns. Its like thier worst nightmare come true. Thats just what I noyiced |
SG -- now see the original and tell me which is better.
|
OK i will rent it. I was curious anyway. Typically the originals are better, but the gore man it was so gnarly. I actually cringed up in my covers
|
hahaha dig. I just feel too many remakes are nothing but less story, extra gore now.
