Random Movie Talk Part Eleventy-1

[Hewson]

(than what's the Victor Hugo biopic going to be called???)

Victor/Victor perhaps?

 

[powerhour24]

Victorious

The Hugo-Back of Notre Dame

Le Miserable Frenchman

The Man Who Laughs at the Last Days of a Condemned Man with the Toilers of the Sea with Supreme Compassion of the Pope: The Victor Hugo Story

 

[powerhour24]

Not 5 minutes later and I'm reading a website about the history of this East-Bumfuck town in Masachusetts and the header is a quote from Victor Hugo.

Stringer Bell, in the flesh.


Today was a good day.

 

[Imperor]

Did you ask him where da boy at?

 

[powerhour24]

Did you tell him he should star in Spike Lee's Oldboy adaptation?

 

[Lancemc]

The 3D in the Hugo trailer looked admittedly impressive today in front of Harold Lloyd Potter.

I know it's killing you that you possess not the magickal skill to put my face onto that guy's body.

 

[No spoken words]

I would never defile that guy in such a manner.

 

[powerhour24]

Sooo I'm watching Biutiful for Bardem and because Inarritu used to be talented, but so far it's boring as hell.

I can do it though. Easily.

Spoiler

Where the hell did that thing come from, anyways?

 

[No spoken words]

It came from Jive Turkey, but, I got obsessed with it quite rapidly.

 

[LMP]

It's the new Swoop.

 

[No spoken words]

Meet the new Swoop, same as the old Swoop.

 

[joyfulgirl]

It's an instant classic.

I didn't think it was at all boring, just hard because you knew nothing good was going to come of any of it. Loved Bardem and all the performances. But a friend of mine was so bored she walked out.

I enjoyed Harry Potter yesterday. Felt very satisfied by it.

In previous Inarritu films the side characters all had some importance, this film had far too many extra things going on, had if focused solely on the man, his family and his struggle with disease it would have flowed better for me. Sure you can have him repenting from a life of crime, but it doesn't need to take up that much of the runtime. It could have easily been under two hours. I was also disappointed in Bardem's performance, it wasn't bad by any means but for him and for all the hype it received, I was disappointed. Again though, that comes down to how it was written.

I've seen all of Inarritu's films and I do see what you mean. I guess I saw all the side characters as fleshing out the picture of a man overwhelmed with life, and death. I did get confused by everything that was going on at times but I remained engaged and I thought Bardem was wonderful. And I loved the opening and closing shots.

The Dark Tower shelved


Oh well.

 

[No spoken words]

Gee, wow, Comcast suits pulled the plug, shocking.

Not sure if Ashley will be thrilled or devastated upon hearing this news.

 

[powerhour24]

I'm relieved, but the talk of possibly moving studios makes me worried Brian Grazer has the rights and that we'll irrevocably be stuck with Ron Howard and fucking Akiva Goldsman. Call up JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof, please, TV series, 'nuff said.

WONG. KAR. WAl.

[Lancemc]

Looks almost nothing like a WKW film... but it's good.

 

[gump]

The Berlin Alexanderplatz set is gorgeous. I can't wait to start watching.

 

[LemonMelon]

So I'm watching The 400 Blows. This doesn't look like that porno of Lance's Mom's weekend at Yellowstone Park (Ron Jeremy goes by Old Faithful), but I'll give it a chance.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Dear friends. I have only seen half of the first Harry Potter movie because I fell asleep during it. I kinda want to see the rest of them now anyway, what with the creatures and all. But I dont want to start with the first one because in case you didnt read the second sentence, I fell asleep during it. I have the rest infront of me right now. Can someone tell me what the second one is called so I can watch it? Thanks

 

[LMP]

Chamber of Secrets.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Thank you sir. That was much easier than all the googles

 

[lazarus]

The second one is garbage, probably the worst in the series.

I'd start with the third one, Prisoner of Azkaban, which IMO is still the best (with Deathly Hallows, Part 1 close behind).
