nameless_girl Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 theres actually a lot to be said for Krissirges point in a demented way. Gary Cooper, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, these guys had oodles of presence. not terrific actors though, i mean in the classical "i'm-a-chameleon" sense. Yul Brynner you could lump in that list. only problem is the example of Van Damme he cited makes the whole fucking issue obselete because he cant act...whatsoever. at all. he actually literally seems incapable of entering into any sort of character and he has absolutely no screen presence WHATSOEVER.Oh, I know. I'm not saying leading men in these flicks have to be Oscar worthy actors, but some charisma would be nice. Van Damme has so exceedingly little that even William Shatner would make a more compelling action star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 'This Is Spinal Tap' may be one of the greatest movies ever.No matter how many times I watch that movie I find something different to cackle at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I've recently seen Juno, No Country for Old Men, Seven Samurai and a Norwegian flick called Naboer.I loved the first three (definitely getting Juno and No Country for Old Men on DVD or Blu-Ray when they're released in Norway), but Naboer was too fucked up for my taste.

Lithium Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) You like stuff like that, Frankie? Yeah, it means "neighbors". The main person and one of the chicks are like, hitting each other in the face as they are fucking and the chick smears herself in her own blood - it's really fucked up. But the chick is really, really hot, so it kinda gets evened out.And I don't think it's possible to buy it in the US, but if you are that interested, check it out on eBay or some shit. Yeah, I've been meaning to get into mr. Lynch, thanks for the recommendations. Edited February 6, 2008 by Lithium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssiscool Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 a quick review for My Super Ex GirlfriendYes, there are a decent few big-action type scenes... but, IMHO, the quality of the special effects is a bit ropey by today's standards. At some points, anyway. But outside of that, it was a pretty fun flick. Not laugh-out-loud funny from beginning to end, but there were some good (and inventive) parts. The Rainn Wilson character, I hate to report, was a repellent, irredeemable, shallow, womanizing 'best friend' type who I couldn't imagine why Luke Wilson still liked, and who I personally wanted to stab in the eyeball with an icepick every time I saw him. But hey, to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Juno is amazing. Ellen Page is still amazing. I want to see it again now.I saw Cloverfield right after it and that made it seem less impressive in comparison. I officially love Juno. LOVE.

appetite4illusions Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Saw Michael Clayton at the theater tonight. A damn fine movie. Deliberately confusing and complex , but it comes together nicely. If Javier Bardem wins best supporting actor over Tom Wilkinson then I will be livid, Wilkinson stole this movie.

Black Sabbath Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) I'm wanting to see Cloverfield or Rambo again. I really enjoyed both of 'em.I know I'll be buying them when they come out.EDIT: I'm also really wanting to see 'There Will Be Blood'. It looks fantastic.
