Ignore what those senses say, sir!
I can't deny his bad films outnumber his good films, but even in a lot of those he's still entertaining. It's always disappointing for me to watch a film he's in that I already know is going to be bad, only to get the impression he was turning up each day thinking "I really need the money here."*

*He sold a lot of his comic collection due to financial difficulties. Personally, I'd gladly pay extra just to own a comic that was once his.

He had to offload a few of his castles in Europe too, poor sod.

Koyaanisqatsi in the cinema. It was a bit bloody good.

The Trueman Show - near the end of the film which i'm watching with the family; that ending gets me everytime.  :'(

Definitely one of Weir's best film. Moving and beautifully directed, not to mention an outstanding score. Jim Carrey is absolutely superb (and Linney is fucking scary!).

Ghostbusters 2Ghostbusters is, of course, one of the greatest films ever made.  Ghostbusters 2 is... not.  I had a bad experience watching this in the cinema fadó fadó, so disappointed that I recall playing catch with a pair of shoes to pass the time.  However, an accidental too-tired-to-change-channels re-watch last night showed me a movie that was far better than I remember.  Bill Murray is his usual stellar self, Sigourney Weaver spends much of the movie in pleasing deshabille, baddy Vigo and his portrait are excellent and the dialogue, while not as snappy as the first one is still very funny.  Ultimately it's the dull opening setup, a slow plot and possibly the unlikable colour of the ooze SFX, that means it falls a bit flat.  The core characetr stuff is still well worth watching, Ray, Egon and Winston in particular are a hoot when separated from Venkman (who does tend to steal every scene he wanders through).  It's better than remake Evolution anyway.

Monsters inc in 3D.. Interesting to note that in the re-render they did away with depth of field, because your eyes will create it instead..

Honest, film Epic Movie is the true shittiest film I ever see! Don't know why bosses who see the preview of it let it happens!

Because some idiots of my generation have no sense of humour.  :lol:

I'm on Lethal Weapon 2 of a Lethal Weapon marathon. It's as anthropological as giving African children something to eat but ask them not to share with each other. Or at least it's not that.

I've said it before Krom, but you are an f'ing poet.

Cage is an eco-terrorist...in as much as he must have killed thousands of trees and had their essence transferred into him to be as wooden as he is!

That said, i just watched The Safe, and Jason Statham is never going to win an Oscar, but you can usually depend on him delivering some no brainer action. Usually.

Stay away from The Mechanic is all I'm saying.

Um.. you all been drinking?

Cheers anyway. Beeteedoubleu, seems you asked, in a way, Patsy Kensit looks like the female stock Hugh Grant English woman with the droopy eyes and goofy grin. And, it's at the point where I've realised it's got the first big screen nail gun scene I saw, in it.


The Mechanic is [spoiler][ a sit down jobbie though, and you won't feel you've wasted too much if you go for one half way through] [/spoiler]tho.

I always think of it as the Platonic Chekov's Gun.
