Hey, I don't diss your kids - don't diss mine. I thought those were off limits, no? Or are you exempt? Cuz your kids' real dad is someone on this board, but nobody's quite sure who.
I was hooking up with this Chinese chic in my early 20s. She was so hot...... she taught me that FURNITURE is Oriental and NOT the PEOPLE.
Yeah, objects and food are oriental. People are not. Even before I learned this, I never really said that about the Japs, though.
The Hobbit. Excellent movie! [video=youtube;nOGsB9dORBg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOGsB9dORBg[/video]
I saw Winter's Bone the other night. I thought it was really good. Jennifer Lawrence really carried the film. Also, made me glad I grew up in Portland and not the Ozarks.
I must be the only person here that watched "John's dead at the end". I watched Ted a bit ago and it is funny, but John's dead at the end is the only movie that at one part I actually LOL. Sounds like not only no one has watched it but no one has heard of it. It is off the wall, but it's a movie you have to watch all the way through.
John Dies at the End (2012) 99 min - Comedy | Fantasy | Horror - 25 January 2013 (USA) A new street drug that sends its users across time and dimensions has one drawback: some people return as no longer human. Can two college dropouts save humankind from this silent, otherworldly invasion?
Here are the 2013 Best Picture nominees: "Amour" - Haven't seen it. "Argo" - Great, fun "Beasts of the Southern Wild" - Excellent "Django Unchained" - Weirdly, I am the only person I know who found it too violent to watch at the end. Walked out. And I love QT. But it was just too over the top for me. Maybe I was in a weird mood. "Les Misérables" Maybe my favorite movie of the year, but then again, it is probably my favorite play ever. Let the snarky comments begin! "Life of Pi" - #2 this year fro me. "Lincoln" DDL was unbelievable. Really interesting "Silver Linings Playbook" - Seeing it soon "Zero Dark Thirty" - Awesome. Fuck Osama.
Have now watched both The Raid: Redemption and Dredd. They're not quite the same movie (Raid is a lot more kickass, but the "slo-mo" in Dredd is cool). Don't understand why Dredd tanked. They should've just marketed it as: "Avon Barksdale, Cercei Lannister, the new Bones McCoy and the best friend from Juno in the same movie" and the nerds would've flocked. (I guess you need to love the character, though, and that basically requires growing up in Thatcherite Britain, which narrows the audience.)
Rented Searching For Sugar Man for tonight. Looks interesting. [video=youtube;8hEojBYmR-o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hEojBYmR-o[/video]
Winter's Bone: it was good, but afterwards I thought: that was basically an episode of Justified, only grubbier and without Raylan. John Dies at the End: I didn't even know that had come out yet! By the director of Phantasm and Bubba Ho Tep, so I will definitely be checking that out The Hobbit: I think the "it goes on for ever" criticisms are overblown, but I didn't understand a couple of the changes. I get why they invent a big albino Orc to be a nemesis for Thorin (probably going to kill him in the Battle of Five Armies) but they fucked up the troll party. Basically Gandalf just splits a rock that was hiding the sun instead of the whole "imitating their voices" thing in the book. The riddle game was the best thing in it (natch) and Golem continues to be the best CGI character ever.
I liked Sugar Man. They left out some things in order to make Rodriguez's story more dramatic though. I still enjoyed it a lot.
I watched the Hara-Kiri remake by Takashi Miike, it seemed kind of pointless. Just watch the original from the 60s.
