Mmm, as great as Joshua was, I liked the character of Vorstedt from LW2 moreso. He is still one of the few characters on film I actually have a big distaste for, he was that much of a bastard.
Whereas Joshua was badass, Vorstedt was a complete dickhead in comparison. One of those guys you love to hate.
Shame those two villains couldn't be as well replicated in LW3 and 4. I liked Jet Li too much by the end of LW4, so I was cheering him on when he fights Rigss and Murtaugh, instead of the 'good guys'.
Last film I watched; Cobra. Absolute fun trashy nonsense that isn't at all replayable.
Next up: The Shadow

Yesterday I watcher 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and Eyes Wide Shut. The HD transfer of 2001 is really outstanding. The other two transfers are well worth it, but not as awesome. Though it is worth noting that EWS is now 16:9 as opposed to previous releases.

I'm back with a tan.... Its cold as fuck back here in Chicago. People in the south ( like Florida) have it so good in the winter months.... Luck bastards! LOL!
Made a ton of money for my business and fucked alot of sexy girls while I was down there- good times!
On topic:
If you liked Steam Boy see Memories directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. Its very cool.
I'm watching (anime) Solty Rei and Tekkonkinkreet. The 1st is an ass kicker anime (if you liked Black Lagoon anime watch this one) and the 2nd is a very sweet tale of kids banning together to keep the Yakuza out of their area. Both are stylish and clever.
The BodyGuard was mentioned... I read that was originally written for Steve McQueen. It got made much later with Costner tho.
Saw the doc "Loose Change". Its total crap. Fiction and bullshit on film. People insult the victims of 9/11 (USA) and 7/7 (UK) by saying dumb shit like our governments planned and executed the attacks themselves. Nonsense! Those 'filmmakers' need girlfriends and hobbies...
If you do want to see a good film (fiction) about governments doing political spin, lies and misinformation see Wag the Dog. Its clever and paced well. Cool extras too on the DVD.
The Running Man is awesome. Don't get the 2004 DVD tho. That "special" edition (special as in special ed! LOL!
) has the WORST commentary I ever heard on a movie. They are drunk near the end and just moan about CNN and the media and how the world is one big lie. Nothing about the film nor anything new about the making of it. Lame!
The extras are weak too. Nothing on the film itself but alot on media and communication and bias and such. Its okay, but out of place when you see the direction they take it. It kind of fit the tone of what some people felt about Bush in 2003-2004, yet for it to be on a DVD that I'd still like to watch 15 years from now... It seems forced and dated and hurts the lasting worth of owning the disc. Like some one making a 90s Bill Clinton/ OJ Simpson/ Michale Jackson joke in modern times. In its time it was funny and on point, years later it seems too retro and dates the subject to be put in a 'past tense' category (not of relevant worth so less then valuable) . Not good for a DVD with a cool movie as its main draw IMO.
I got Death Wish 1 & 2. The REAL movies. I got the PAL R4 (Australia) DVD imported. It has the widescreen uncut version of the films. DW2 in the USA is full screen and censored. Man DW2 has the best rape scene on film IMO. Wild violence as payback too. Both top level films-if you can stomach them (theme and such).
If you liked Wild Strawberries then see The Seventh Seal.
Lastly I saw High School Musical 2. It was cute. Disney sap but still good to see. Also there are naked pics of the lead girl on the net (as if you did not know! LOLz!
)
Get the The Rodgers & Hammerstein Collection (The Sound of Music / The King and I / Oklahoma! / South Pacific / State Fair / Carousel) bot set if you dig musicals. Best $60 USD you can spend on a 12 DVD set. It has an ASSLOAD of killer extras and 2 versions of State Fair.
Get Flower Drum Song also. Thats another great film. Seek out the MGM Classic Musicals (West Side Story/Guys and Dolls/Fiddler on the Roof/A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum/How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying/Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) set. That is good as well.
A good Disney film that I recommend is Song of the South. Get it online (download) since you CANNOT buy it in the USA. Some think its racist (that is why you can't get it) but it is no more racist then Gone with the Wind. Its about the 'old south' (hence the style of speech the blacks talk in) and tells a good Disney (family) tale with a good delivery and charm. See it if you have not. Its fun.
Also Pet Shop of Horrors anime is great! Get and watch all 4 parts to that. Very finely made and told stories.
Thats all for now!

.................
Anyone think that Riggs went from, well, mischevious in LW2 and 3 to full on asshole in LW4 lol....
Nobody likes a racist. Which segways into the last movie I watched; This Is The Army.... I really really don't get the whole... uh... "blackface" thing.... Typical WWII propaganda blah, some really amazing acrobatics though, to its credit.Henry Spencer wrote:Mmm, as great as Joshua was, I liked the character of Vorstedt from LW2 moreso.

With all that LW talk...
I hope you guys have seen The Last Boyscout. That film is amazing! Its by the writer of the 1st LW (the best one). Top level film.
Happy Turkey Day to those in the USA!
Till L8r...
Edit: On the "This Is The Army" thing... While blackface in some films viewed with today's eyes is a bit distasteful (even then to some it was) it fit the Hollywood trend of shooting films on sound stages like they would plays with the same style of famework. Many 30s through 40s films had a musical spin/segment that would include black face numbers- as did a more then a few live stage and dance hall bit of the day (20s and 30s mainly).
See Holiday Inn (classic film ) a movie which has a notorious but on point for its day and time black face scene.
Kind of like the many musical shorts that had women in the pre 'feminist' time depicted as just being focused on 'girly' things and not being capable of real leadership.
A contrast to female leads like in the Thin Man movies (made in same time era) where the lady is smart and can work on her own too- yet still be supportive of her man.
Just the times the things were made in... (BTW in the 50s despite what TV shows men and women did NOT sleep in separate beds at night and did actually fuck! LOL!

DH2 and DH4 (newest one) are kind of weak but still okay. One is the best and 3 is very good as well.jcgamer60 wrote:Just watched Die Hard 1 for the first time. Awesome movie.
I won't bother with the sequels since they probably aren't as good, but all I can say is this movie was really well done.
Read Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp (later reissued as Die Hard). Its the book that the 1st one is based on. Very good read.
Lethal Weapon 1 and 3 are the best of that series. With 2 and 4 being weaker... Just my opinion of course, but funny how that synced up too.
I'm watching Futurama - Bender's Big Score now. Its funny! (if you like Futurama)
Saw Cougar Club... STUPID! Waste of my time.
Going to finally watch all of season 3 of Jem and the Holograms. I bought the bootleg DVDs from Canada and will pop them in soon (this weekend for a bit).
Got caught up on Nip/Tuck (USA tv show) this season.
Watching also Bogie & Bacall - The Signature Collection (The Big Sleep / Dark Passage / Key Largo / To Have and Have Not). Good films!
Need to see Romancing the Stone too.
Thats all for now.

Bunty Aur Babli, ahaah~
More bollywood, this time a G-rated Disney calibre silly Bonny n' Clide badly paced/directed overacted overproduced though redeemably hilarious (at times) romp. It's worth the character of Dashrath Singh alone though, the hilariously inarticulate hard-boiled detective who becomes... less-than-hard-boiled and even more inarticulate when he's drunk. His sad love story came to a head in a vid I posted in the "What Are You Listening To Right Now" thread....
Next, whatever's sitting in my harddrive.

Well, I liked one and two best in Lethal Weapon, but only one is a true classic.Lethal Weapon 1 and 3 are the best of that series. With 2 and 4 being weaker... Just my opinion of course, but funny how that synced up too.
But isn't it funny how #4 of a film series tends to suck or at least be the weakest of the series?
Superman #4
Lethal Weapon #4
Die Hard #4
Star Wars #4 (not episode IV but the forth fil released aka The Phantom Meanace)
Batman and Robin
Of course Rocky V was easily the worst of the Rocky series.

last night I watcher Across the Universe. Very nice surrealistic musical film, it has some very neat ideas and excellent execution of them.

Thanks for the recommendations i'll check them out as soon as i'm finished with the movies i plan on watching next "for the first time".
Im going to watch these movies in the following order:
Bladerunner
Terminator 1 and 2
alien 1 and 2
apollo 13 (maybe)
I was born in 88' so i missed out on a lot of greats
Also i watched Rambo 1 recently, and i don't really find anything special about that movie. Story was pretty shallow. I prefer the "bourne" movies.

The same could be siad for pretty much all of Sly's movies apart from about 3 (Rocky, Cop Land, Rocky Balboa). For what it is First Blood is pretty cool.Also i watched Rambo 1 recently, and i don't really find anything special about that movie. Story was pretty shallow. I prefer the "bourne" movies.

If we're talking science fiction movies here, those are some of the finest ever made. Blade Runner is Ridley Scott's personal favourite and is loved around here generally to the point of obsessive love, Alien is about as good as science fiction horror gets (alongside The Thing, which I recommend if you like this film), Aliens is just another typical brilliant science fiction film from James Cameron, T2: Judgement Day is my favourite action movie alongside Die Hard and T1 is also a classic, which verges on a horror film towards the end. Apollo 13 is loaded with great performances, but will most likely let you down after watching those amazing films. Overall though; great, great picks. Cannot emphasise that enough.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Storywise Rocky 1 and 2 are the best, its all downhill after that, exception for rocky balboa. I can't wait to watch blade runner, i hope it lives up to my expectations because of Snatcher.
Yeah, guys thanks for recommendations. If it wasn't for Henry Spencer i probably wouldn't have tried Snatcher in the first place. As for Lethal Weapon, how similar is it to Policenauts? I hope its just the main characters.
One of the reasons i'm super excited for Policenauts is because it seems to have a mix of space and detective stuff involved in the storyline from pictures i've seen. I really enjoy learning about the solar system etc.. Which is why apollo 13 is one of the movies i'm considering watching. I just don't like too much fiction like Star Trek or w/e, with the exception of Star Wars. I've practically taught myself about astronomy thanks to the internet. I recently watched a documentary called "in the shadow of the moon" which is great if you're interested in the old Apollo missions.
Also, Henry, let me know how On The Waterfront is. I love some of those old black and white movies. The sherlock holmes movies were good.
