TOMBSTONE
Those are all great. Also worthy are Outlaw Josey Wales, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, The Magnificent Seven, Valdez is Coming, A Man Called Horse, Bad Company, and The Professionals.
I was never one for the less gritty style of most John Wayne type westerns, but I did enjoy some like Rio Bravo, Chisum, Red River, The Comancheros, The Cowboys, The War Wagon, and Rio Lobo.
Finally, Winchester '73 and Shenandoah, both starring James Stewart are quite good, and if you're in the mood for something truly epic, How The West Was Won is one Truly Epic film that I don't see much mention of. Definitely check that one out.
If you're in a musical mood, Paint Your Wagon and Cat Ballou can't be beat. :p
True Grit's pretty good, too. Bonus points for Eyepatch Duke and Dennis Hopper as a horse thief.
Forgot about that one. That's saddens me.
Unforgiven. Now THAT was a movie.
Shutter Island. It is pretty freaky, and reminded me of Identity.
Watched the first 15 minutes of Boondock Saints 2. Did they intentionally try to make it a comedy?
I don't know what the first one was supposed to be.
My feelings exactly,Quote:

Better than Hot Shots 2, for reason of being a more structured parody!
So it sucked then.Quote:

It's always hard to watch grind on DVD. Much of the music turns to mud.
Watched the important bits of Saving Private Ryan on Bluray. Holy fuck.
Shutter Island is much better than Identity though.Quote:

Their TV's showed the footage of any and every camera in the colony.
It's on Netflix instant stream, I really really recommend it.
Just started Season 6 of Lost.
Yeah... um. Maybe it'll pick up later?
It doesn't.
Don't be a sucker. There's plenty of write ups in this thread that will save you valuable time to go eat vegetables or get hurt in the gym.
go each vegetables?
That sounds rather time consuming.
I had a buttcheecks moment.
Just finished Spartacus. Fantastic series. Good to see most everyone get their revenge. I wonder what will become of the cripple. Best scene in the season was Alithia smashing the girls head into the steps.
You're such an angry little man. :(
Why so angry?
Because I'm sunburned.
That is your own fault!
watching the Road Warrior right now, Awesome :)
I wasn't passing blame. Just telling you why I was angry.Quote:

watching Cobra right now, holy shit I forgot how awesome this flick is. I haven't watched it since I was a kid
Total Recall again. It is still amazing.
Barry Lyndon, it's one of a few period films that keeps you interested for 3+ hours. Maybe Ryan O'Neal's best role, it's a tie between this and Paper Moon.
A tie for 2nd you mean.
What's Up, Doc?
I really like Barry Lyndon.
Watched "Speed" last night, man. Bad movie!
The best bits were Hopper taunting people. Keanu was a 90's puss.
It will always be so. I never get tired of that movie.Quote:

The bus jump was perhaps too much?
Just watched District 9. Yeah, way late to that party...but I liked it!
I saw most of The Great Escape- It really is great! I want to watch the whole thing now. I like how it had the director, half the cast, and the composer of Magnificent Seven. Steve McQueen is dreamy.
Bad News Bears- The old one. Those kids sure do swear a lot! <3 Tatum O'Neil. I wish she didn't have such a shitty life and that she'd had a happy childhood. Maybe things would've been different.
Nothing super great, but still a lot of fun to watch.
I've been watching American Chopper all day, I love this show
I watched the batman porn spoof tonight, those parodies keep getting better and better
also tori black makes a goddamn spot-on lee merriweather catwoman

As "good" as it looks.
I saw Prince of Persia last night. Way better than I expected it to be, but so much cheese. The action was terrific though. A lot of the platforming was ripped right out of the game and kind of cool. Funny how it's pretty apparent how racist a choice it was to make the main character white.
The Muppets Take Manhattan- another blast from the past. This movie is just one gigantic special effect. Is this the first time the muppet babies appeared?
They're making a new Muppets movie, talk about a tough hill to climb.
They've been making new Muppet movies for a while now.
Not as far as I'm concerned.
I'm talking about theater releases.
I just finished watching The Decline of Western Civilization. Mostly horrible California punk bands performing for the camera and being punk. Fucking embarrassing. The Germs are the worst band in history. Fucking horrible. 0/10
Most embarassing "scene" ever.
Except for Fear... those dudes know how to fucking work a crowd. Totally awesome.
I watched this. It was alright, but hardly as cool as you're implying.Quote:

It's the "access to a gun range" bit that really seems to fire up the imagination, IMO.
It's worth watching.
It was entertaining, the most entertaining part was watching his relationship break down when he tried to have it on camera at all times.
Yeah, I just finished watching this. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation!
Muppets suck.
The Sydney Film Festival Started this week and I just came back from a screening of Near Dark (they're doing an retrospective on vampire movies). Such a fucking good movie.
Prince of Persia.
What a piece of shit. I would have never guessed Persian accents sounded just like English ones.
Also? The chick who looked decent on the poster, wasn't all that hot on the screen. So it made it especially hilarious when every male character in the movie was all OMG YOU'RE SO HOT OH SHIT I JUST CAME IN MY PANTS whenever they saw her.
Also? C'mon Ben! You were motherfucking Ghandi fer christ sakes! Enough with all these paycheck movies!
Bullshit, he was motherfucking Ghandi, he knows what poverty looks like and wants no part of it.
I just went to the premiere of an Australian genre film called Red Hill. It was really great! It's basically about a jail break near a small outback town. It was beautifully shot, perfectly paced and high in tension throughout.
It was kinda funny, my friend and I rocked up in regular clothes while every second guy we saw was in a tux or at least semi formal wear. We really didn't fit in at all.
Revolver.
Yeah.
Fargo. First time since the 90's. I like it more, now.
The Road. Kinda neat to see all the places in the film they shot locally.
Watching the Avatar series, about halfway through season 2. What a neat show!
It really is.
They do a really good job establishing a consistent "lore" and sticking to it, so far! I like seeing the care they put into the show.
It's impressive that it pretty much keeps that quality for the entire run of the show. It's a satisfying beginning, middle and end. And it's something to see a cartoon that doesn't look like it was made using Flash. There's some really beautiful stuff in there.
i fucking love that show so much
I must remember to rep Rumpy when I'm back online.
I could maybe handle how stupid todays cartoons are if they didn't look so awful! WTF! How come cartoons from 60 years ago look so much better? The drivel Hannah Barbera churned out in the 60s and 70s looks disneyesque compared to todays shit.
Since, I haven't been around ...
Italian Job - Awesome movie. Great Story and just a fun ride.
Grandmom's Boy - Oh man this was hilarious.
Munich - Great story. Awesome performances and the music was amazing.
Shoot'em Up - Thank god this film was only 5 bucks. Not even worth that much actually. It was freaking terrible. Worst movie that had a pretty good trailer.
I agree. There's people that actually love the film. I can't imagine.Quote:

Did we need further proof that Dyne doesn't get it? No.
But we got it.
Shoot'em Up was terrible. I think even Despair hated it.
Despair hates good movies and loves bad ones.
Citing his opinion does not help your cause.
Shoot'em Up was Awesome! and it was so much fun to watch
Just got done watching Wall-E for the first time, I loved it
I thought Shoot'em Up was pretty entertaining for what it was. Having a negative opinion of it just gives it too much credit.
Fuck you :p Shoot'em Up fuck fucking DOPE.Quote:

Shoot 'Em Up was rad fun. Good Saturday afternoon drinking movie.
Now, I watched Prince of Persia yesterday, shit was boring. I will go re-watch Shoot'em Up instead.
Or finish La Horde.
Ok, finished La Horde - Pretty cool French zombie flick. Yeah, I know zombies are played out to hell and back, but their thrills and kills work in this one.
Group of cops are go for a raid to kill some drug dealers in one of the Paris projects, when zombie Apocalypse strikes. So both sides have to team up to shoot, stab and kick their way out of the building and away from zombie hordes. Fast, brutal and gory, with some great thrilling zombie action. Its got the new, fast zombies ( I guess with time I am growing to enjoy new zombies, and at least here they are real dean and not fucking infected), and fuckers are mean. But so are the heroes.
Definitely recommended to fans of the genre.
I mean how can you hate a movie where a guy gets murdered with a carrot and they have sex during a goddamn gunfight?Quote:

So no Asians and no American animation for you.
Serious answer. I think it is people being cheap. The pilot of Ventures brothers was flash. And Kim Possible was done like half on American computers and half in Asia I think (maybe all on American computers).
IP: Hey, go where the work is.
You could probably make your own cartoon with flash. Just live off all that money you made selling that st...oh wait, you threw all that shit away. Sorry.
So, any chance of 12 oz. Mouse coming back?
I threw away a dvd box just this morning, thinking of you. (A metal box)
NO. Anything on Adult Swim that's not Boondocks is not going to come back after cancellation. The show that OzMo was going to turn into never happened. :lol:
(500) Days of Summer and Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus: Enjoyed both.
what, a camera looking at a dog turd with 50's martini music playing in the back ground?Quote:

Shoot 'em Up was so wild it got an ex of mine wet as fuck. I love that movie for doing that.
I tried to watch RockNRolla but fell asleep about 10 minutes in. Fuck time zone changes.
Rocknrolla = way better than Revolver, no where near as awesome as I used to think Lock, Stock, and Snatch were.

There's no way slavery would have lasted until today. Economic sanctions by the civilized world would've killed it dead decades ago. See: South Africa. Mr-K might be a hick Southerner but he is correct.
The Blind Side.
It was a nice movie but I don't understand how Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for it.
Well, it was better researched than I had expected, and based upon the assumption that the Confederates would have succeeded in gaining Britain and France as allies, succeed in the War, overthrown the USA, annexed it, then proceeded to invade Mexico and Central America, run it with slave labor and govern with apartheid, and ultimately become a world power 50 years ahead of schedule. Of course, the CSA lacked the organization to win the war, or even enough battles to gain European allies, much less do everything else. But that's the scenario, and the idea is that once we gain world power, we dictate the culture, much like we do today and get shit for Michael Jackson and Coke. It's just more thought out than you'd imagine a satire to be. And due to that, it changed my option from %5 possible to 40% possible.Quote:

We already had near slave labor, the differences between the amount a person not on slave labor makes versus someone who can JUST barely afford his family is almost negligible. I DOUBT we would get anywhere 50 years ahead of time, or that invading canada and mexico would be all that profitable.
