  1. I wish I was Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky before he fucked up his face. I also wish I was Javier Bardem in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

    Volver is Penélope's best film by far. Have you seen that one, Lith? It's highly recommendable.

  2. Anyone seen Das Leben der Anderen? It won the Academy Award in 2007 for best foreign film. Definitely recommendable to anyone interested in 20th century history and DDR.

    Yup, brilliant movie, well-deserved an award.

  3. Not to be an asshole, but...anyone else worried that there might be another volcano eruption during the European tour?

    I can see it now. The opening notes to a new song/ Estranged begins and then the world ends!

    That would be kick-ass! :D

    No, wait, wait, better idea. Estranged begins and during the last solo, Slash appears on stage with the rest of the former members and the world ends!

  4. I need some recommendations, if anyone's willing to help out. Someone please name me some classic epic films. And don't go "Lawrence of Arabia!" or "Gone with the Wind!", give me something that I wouldn't think of in the first five seconds after I hear the words 'classic epic'. So yeah, preferably stuff before 1970.

    Thanks!

    I'm gonna try this one. Thing is, I don't actually know anything about the figure, except that he is some sort of national hero there. So, being Spanish, you tell me, is the film, historically speaking, only mildly inaccurate, pretty inaccurate or laughably inaccurate. Cuz most Hollywood historical biopics tend to fall under the last two categories. Especially when dealing with foreign figures, where they can take a lot of liberties.

    Well, I must say that in Spain he’s more a legendary character than a national hero, and that’s why Anthony Mann could give his own interpretation. Most historians would say the film is laughably inaccurate though, but that's because we don't know much about his real life.
