  1. Why is it that the richer people become, the more expensive/greedier they become?
  2. I was trying to be a smartass. I failed. I apologize. I'll be killing myself, later on, if it helps.
  3. Book John Williams? Why are we booking him? What's he done?
  4. Both films deal with loss, the effects of loss, and how to reconnect after loss.
  5. They'll have the alfalfa sprouts and a plate of mashed yeast.
  6. Ah, yes! The "Game of Thrones chick" Actually, I have seen EDGE OF TOMORROW, and it wasn't 99p, it was 25p
  7. Some from an all-time favourite film: "Where are you from, Nash?" "Lots of different places." "Are you a faggot, Nash?" "Why, Garfield, are cruising for a piece of ass?" "Garfield, cover that head!" "Hi. I'm Candy." "Of course you are." "'Real smooth shave'." "Hey, man, what does 'baffled' mean? What does 'incompetent' mean?" "Hello, pretty." "My cut has improved your voice." "Nice to see you again, Kurgan. Who cut your hair?" "I am in disguise." "Happy Hallowe'en, ladies." "You have the manners of and goat, and you smell like a dungheap, and you've no idea of your potential. Now... get out!"
  8. "I loved you, in WALL STREET!" "I loved you, in WALL STREET!"
  9. Didn't like her in TERMINATOR GENISNYSNS, or whatever it's called.
  10. Sometimes, it's what people cover up - and how they do it - that makes them desirable.
  11. Hmm. Let's see? Do you: 1/ have a full beard, or a handlebar moustache? 2/ wear check shirts all the time? 3/ drink Brewdog? 4/ wear cords? 5/ wear some sort of hat (either something like a Trilby, or a driving cap)? 6/ smoke roll-your-owns? 7/ carry a leather satchel around? 8/ live in West London (Portobello Road; Notting Hill)? 9/ like to be seen at trendy cafés, reading À LA RECHERCHE DU TEMPS PERDUE? 10/ look like, sound like, or behave like, a twat? No? Then you're not a hipster. Ps, nice deck. Thorens, is it? What's the arm and the cartridge? Is there a power supply?
  12. Think she's hot as f. in this? Try UNLAWFUL ENTRY. Two words, dude: red Speedo.
  13. Thanks, @MaxMovieMan. I found "Boss... the President's been shot" on YouTube. I've always wanted this.
  14. Yep, it's a cult exploitation trash B-movie, alright It's so bad, it's good.
  15. Adequate for, or adequate in, Alex. Like most actors, she has a decent am-dram ability, but, like most jobbing actors, she's unable to rise above the source material. That's ok, because few actors are. To be fair to Ms. Blunt, I don't think that she has had a role that has really challenged her, which says more about the roles that she's offered, than her acting ability. Is it me, or is the poster for A QUIET PLACE, a direct rip-off of PANIC ROOM?
  16. Cattle mutilations are up. Ain't that the truth BEN-HUR is, quite simply, one of the greatest scores ever written, and a very strong candidate for the accolade: "Single Most Important Musical Work For Cinema".
  17. Oh, I have lots of love for THE SIXTH SENSE, but not as much love as I have for SIGNS, and THE VILLAGE Come to think of it, I need to rewatch TSS. Part of my work with children is to to teach them how to connect; with the world, with others, and with themselves. At the heart of the film is a mother and son who, despite desperately wanting to, don't know how to relate to each other. Yes, I'll watch again, asap, and, hopefully, get some ideas. Thanks for the tip, @filmmusic.
  18. It's a "absolute delight" watching Caroline Munro in anything! Along with Valerie Leon, that was my teenage years sorted
  19. Somehow, Carol Ann kneeling in front of the TV with her hands on the screen, and the little teddy bear on the floor, really spooks me. It's oddly prescient.
  20. So Emily Blunt says that there are a few things that frustrate her? Yeah, well, there's a few things that "frustrate" me, about Emily Blunt... her acting ability, for instance Agreed, about M:I-DR. If it had been released last Christmas, it would have cleaned up. The only serious competitor was WANKA. It's interesting how such unexpected films became hits, and those expecting to be hits, weren't: A film set in a 1950's high school with a cast of 30 year olds playing teenagers, and based on an off-Broadway play, vs. an A-list disaster movie about honey-makers. A romantic drama vs. some silly kids' movie set in outer space. A science fiction epic starring the actor de jour vs. a film about a broken family, where the middle child discovers an alien in a forrest. It just goes to show.
