Woah, what'd I miss?

You didn't miss a thing. It was less drama than the recent Gaga-related fiasco.

Quoting MadMan (view post)

I think that ROTK is the best in the trilogy, but I like FOTR the most out of the bunch.

How's that work?

It works by MadMan saying it.

Watermelon Man was better than I expected. Such an energetic melting pot of styles. And Cambridge really give it his all in the lead.

**soitgoes...** · 07-07-2010, 11:10 AM

Weekend (though it seems 24 hours too soon for this):

Irreversible (insanely stoked for this now)
Ceddo
Killing of a Chinese Bookie
Eraserhead
Being There
Real Life

A little something for all my moods.

The Children
Amedeus
Predators
Dial M for Murder

So I finally saw Showgirls. I have to say, it's an insanely fun movie. Verhoeven's tracking camera makes it all very dynamic, with characters often appearing out of nowhere and doing stuff with the speed of a cartoon. I also don't think I've ever seen an American movie that's not porn so interested in skin. I'm not exactly gonna comment on the "is it a satire?" debate. I think some of it is clearly intended for laughs and some of it is funny because of how ridiculously dramatic it all is. The dialogue, however, is completely fucking surreal, specially Gina Gershon's. I wouldn't mind a Nomi Malone lap dance right now. Agent Cooper seemed to be having fun.

**dreamdead** · 07-07-2010, 12:24 PM

Forbidden Games
Beloved
Lost: Season 5

Madman has outdone himself. He is truly... mad.

STFU.

The dementors are so clearly a pale imitation of The Ringwraiths it's not even funny. Ringwraiths exude terror. They have weight, substance, intelligence and freakin' implode when they're killed. Dementors move around like cattle and they have all of the physical substance of poorly rendered CGI.

I see you rather enjoyed That Day, kopello. My Ruiz army is growing.

Yea I really enjoyed it, great dark humor. Reminded me of one of Bunuel's later works.

First time I watched FOTR, I loved the Wringwraiths up until the point that Vigo shows up and drives them all away. They lossed a significant amount of 'bad ass' points during that scene.

Made me sad.

I haven't finished it yet. I've been busy with other stuff.

**Milky Joe** · 07-08-2010, 12:27 AM

I saw MacGruber. It was hilarious.

**BuffaloWilder** · 07-08-2010, 01:00 AM

I'm being cautious - take a vote, should baby doll and I continue our raucous Fincher-centric debate with a word in edgewise by everyone else, or would my response get deleted?

I only deleted the stuff that involved people making personal comments about other people. Raucous debate is perfectly fine. And usually, people kid each other without it being an issue. This particular discussion seemed to be heading in a bad direction though, so I just cut it off.

**Spinal** · 07-08-2010, 01:09 AM

Also, just because I deleted one of your posts, it doesn't necessarily mean you did anything 'wrong'. It might have just meant it was a part of a larger discussion that was getting in the way of film discussion.

**BuffaloWilder** · 07-08-2010, 01:27 AM

I didn't know you deleted any of my stuff in particular - but, it did seem like that whole debate got a sizable chunk wished away into the cornfield.

Yours truly is a vengeful hand, Spinal. :lol:
