TheConstant Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ten minutes into Zach And Miri Make A Porno and it's fucking great already.I really, really loved this movie. Easily Smith's best since Chasing Amy, also his most refined work as director by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I ended up liking it a lot.I never saw what people liked in Rogen, then I watched Pineapple Express and loved it. Pineapple Express was definitely better than Zach And Miri Make A Porno, but both were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I hear Waltz with Bashir is awesome. Has anyone seen it?Finest film of '08, hands down. Granted, the year's not quite over yet, but I'll be fairly stunned if anything bests it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Saw Pineapple Express. Classic. Actually pretty good movie, not just stoner comedy. Sort of re-works stoner movie as action-buddy movie.I can take danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidswords Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I just saw the new James Bond movie, what a complete waste. The action was great, but there was no plot and the movie was too hard to follow...the movie made it sound like there is going to be a third movie in this sequence, I hope it is better then solace...of course, that wouldn't take much.

Some genuinely funny moments and I actually kinda connected with the characters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like another typical Smith film to me (which I'm getting quite tired of since Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), but I'll check it out.It's very much a Kevin Smith movie, except with a stronger script and direction than the last few. He's doing something very different next, a horror movie about a Fred Phelps-esque guy. Edited December 1, 2008 by adaddnaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuffy78 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I was in the mood for some cheesy Horror so I watched Man with the Screaming Brain and Zombie Strippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheConstant Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yeah I thought as much. Probably too visceral for the people reviewing it, a reminder of something they'd quietly forgotten about. After all the attacks were nearly as horrible as something like 9/11, which will probably remain in people's memory for a long, long time.I find it ridiculous that the Christian Phallangists who perpetrated the attacks are now a major part of the Lebanese government. People forget so easily, or maybe they just never cared (which is more disturbing). I would have said something similar about Sharon becoming PM of Israel but he redeemed himself with what seemed to me quite genuine attempts at improving the situation.

AbominableHoman Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 That's it, I'm going to get a copy of Internal Affairs. I think The Departed is easily one of the best films from the last five years.I'm sure there has been plenty of debate on the subject; I believe Colin (Matt Damon) was definitely gay, and of course the child is definitely Billy's (DiCaprio).

Lithium Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Pineapple Express was so boring I actually fell asleep. It had absolutely nothing new and fresh to offer. I could have made a better film myself, for fuck's sake. James Franco was pretty good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbominableHoman Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Lithium, what are you 12?I thought Pineapple Express was pretty hilarious. Nothing groundbreaking as far as a comedy goes, sure; you're an elitist slob if you go into every movie expecting something that is new and is fresh to offer. It was never sold as anything more than a funny stoner-action movie if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a parody, but dude, it was a movie named after a mystical government produced strain of marijuana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuffy78 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I heard a rumor and I hope this stays as a rumor that they want to do a sequel to RZ's Halloween..Bleck! You'd think they way he ended it wouldn't be open for a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
