kanye's teeth ARE too big and he has canceled his tour because of it http://www.vulture.com/2016/11/kanye...p-concert.html

Inception did NOT make me go "ooohh...ahhhhh coool" at ALL. so fucking boring.
I dug DiCaprio in Revenant. he definitely looked the part of a short guy who gets attacked by bears.... |
That's fine. I think the city folding in on itself prepped an entire generation to disagree with you before the film even came out. Shrug. It was fun for me anyway.

He's 6ft! You'd have to put Bogart, Tom Cruise (as already mentioned), Al Pacino etc. etc. in the bin with that logic. Less of this please, Rob. Anyway, Di Caprio is a decent actor who's done some great films. |
Finishing up my intended Alien releases with Alien Resurrection.

oh man, you're not going the full run? You gotta watch all the Predator, AvP and Prometheus still. Seriously though, Prometheus was so derided but I loved it. |

Ehhhh... I don't know if AvP should even be considered part of the franchise. And the first Predator is cool for fun, but no need to throw it in with Alien. Prometheus, though. Must watch. I also loved it. Kicks the shit out of dumbass Avatar. And those alien dudes were genuinely freaky. Great visuals too. Great mythology. Love the whole "scientists thinking they're being led to God, but kinda being led to hell instead" angle. Prometheus inspired me to re-read The Sparrow for that very reason, so I feel like I owe it. |
never knew there were so many sensitive short stuffs at the SYG!
If DiCaprio is 6 ft tall (in lifts for sure, like cruise and every other short stuff actor in hollywood) then I am 7ft tall. I am 6' 1" actually and I have stood near DiCaprio. He is 5'6" at the MOST. never believe hollywood or NBA lies about height. prometheus SUCKED SHIT. scientists touching strange ooze without gloves? scientists just pressing buttons to see what happens? come on. what a fucking bullshit bullshit movie. |
Prometheus was brilliant. I loved it hard. And it's even better if you watch it and then Alien back to back.
SEV: I told you I'm a total Alien/Predator fanboy. I don't care that they franchises were retro-fitted to co-exist, I stupid love them all. I'm not even talking from a rational place here, so don't try to rationalize it. I just love those worlds haha. |
![]() here is Ellen Page (5'1" tall) wearing heels, and maybe lifts in the heels, standing next to DiCaprio who is DEFINITELY wearing at least 3" lifts. 6 foot MY ASS. |
why do you care so much about celebs' height? I don't even understand this conversation bruh. You're coming off... weird right now.

I like DeCap in a lot of stuff. He was great in Revenant
|
so no absurdity available anymore due to Trump America?
people get offended cuz a white actress is cast as an asian character, but I cant get slightly meh about a height-challenged man playing the part of a 6'8" Jack Reacher? hahahahhahahahha fuck all this shit. |
he was great in Revenant. He has been middling to whatever in everything else....

if you were trying to make some kind of ironic statement I think it went over everyones' heads. |

Maybe we're all just too short for Rob's sense of humour. |

Never, ever gets old watching that. And every single time you're hoping that it ends differently. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is like that. |
Quote:
Take it you've seen The Thick Of It? |
Quote:
oh hell yes! that will get another rewatch also, great with the times and if you have another say 40 titles to suggest that would be awesome :D Quote:
ah ha ha ha! "you're hoping that it ends differently." INDEED. especially cuckoo's nest. damn. that one gets me every time. |
Quote:
Well if you're looking for satire I'm out. Read a piece in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago that basically said that satire is dead when it couldn't be riper for it. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/...cci-few-laughs I watched Cuckoo's Nest a month or so back and goddammit. You keep thinking "The window is open!! Just leave now, for god's sake!" then we all know how it goes. Again. |
satire does not work if the audience is too dull or too brainwashed to understand it is satire....

The Producers seems appropriate. Also The Great Dictator. |

yes-- the movie & tv show. needed subtitles but yeah. why do english shows' "seasons" have only 3 episodes though. aghhh. Quote:
ha! guess i'm an imbecile either way Quote:
yes-- but it has a hero who gives you a heartfelt speech. i need something a little more take-no-prisoners cynical to go with the holiday spirit haaa haaa haa. kinda like brazil. hm... brazil for sure-- MERRY CHRISTMAS!... and terry gilliam... 12 monkeys again? also gonna rewatch cabin in the woods. so great. some john waters definitely. haven't seen female trouble in AGES. bleak laughter, i need bleak laughter at the void ![]() |
wild tales

Some suggestions for different kinds of satire ...
The Graduate American Beauty Dawn of the Dead Shampoo American Psycho This is Spinal Tap Best in Show Beyond the Valley of the Dolls South Park - increasingly so House of Cards Being There Primary Colours Veep A Clockwork Orange After Hours The Producers Wag the Dog CB4 Barton Fink LA Story Death Race 2000 |
Quote:
oh hell, that was soooo good! definitely worth a rewatch Quote:
never saw wag the dog or primary colors-- will add after hours the unusual scorsese? love it never heard of CB4 and yes to all of christopher guest never seen shampoo, will add btw came home w/ ROCKY HORROR (never seen it), JOHNNY ENGLISH and SHARKNADO (which seems to be a parody of itsef) -- also have recently seen SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER i mean THE PRODUCERS (hilarious) but i think instead i'll order BAMBOOZLED which i've managed to keep missing-- prolly not "funny" but eh |
CB4 is awesome.
|
Quote:
also added:half-baked (only seen parts) also added: beavis and butthead do america (awesome) prolly should do idiocracy as well--- ha ah ha the age of idiocracy has arrived already |
^ha! expect to kill some brain cells in the process.
CB4 is awesome and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice is a great companion piece. I mean, all those movies call for massive amounts of pot. some can survive others can't. |
Down Periscope...best role Rob Schneider ever had.

YES |
(originally posted this in the wrong thread)
i'm having a hard time following this rocky horror thing 100% but it has some hilarious parts |
Rocky Horror is more an event than a film. The whole audience participation thing is central to its cult status. As a film in its own right it really doesn't work at all. I suggest you simply slip into some lingerie and start talking back to the screen if you wanna get the best from it.
|
Rocky Horror is pretty meh. There are far better "so bad they're good" films. This one just happened to get the cult following.

i'll do that if there's a next time Quote:
i enjoyed the whole glam rock aeasthetic of it tim curry as marc bolan or what? plus, the biggest reason-- susan sarandon in her bra and panties in 1974-- UAU -- this isn't a bad candidate for video wallpaper at a party actually |
