Random Social Chit-Chat v. Illuminati Confirmed

Why don't you try writing reviews for some of the movies you've seen? And either keep them for yourself to read or post them on IMDB, Netflix or other such sites. Or start your own blog. And if you haven't already, reading reviews from some of great/legendary reviewers can be very enlightening, A.O. Scott is my personal favorite, Pauline Kael is excellent as well as Andrew Sarris. I think having a base of knowledge on film history really enhances the viewing experience because you can see how genres have progressed or degressed as the case may be. I've got this book called "American Movie Critics," its an anthology of reviews by the greatest critics. Even just discussing film with some friends can be a lot of fun. I always try to convince my friends go out for coffee or something and talk about the movie we've just seen.

Anyways, these are just some tips for making the cinema experience a little less passive.

well apparently they have some 'special' ways of dealing with an alien invasion. in any case i keep watching it, and it reminds me of someone with congenital defects falling down a very long flight of stairs. you know you shouldn't laugh but you still do.
next to the walking dead one of the most hilariously retarded shows on air.

i hope it's not horrid. i saw a video of the girl she is portraying and good jesus christ i cannot find it in myself to watch a movie with that woman (or her emma watson avatar) in it.
 
I've been watching BBC America a lot more lately. It makes me feel like I'm in the UK. Well, not really, but kind of.


I'm curious about this Dr. Who I keep hearing about. I feel like I've heard of it elsewhere but I can't remember where.
 
I've never seen Blade Runner before, but am going to rent it from Netflix. Should I get the DVD that has the Final Cut or the Theatrical/Directors cut?
 
Michael Clarke Duncan, Dead at 54

Obit-Michael-Clarke-Duncan.jpg


Physically and vocally-imposing actor Michael Clarke Duncan, who received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for his role in The Green Mile, died Monday at the age of 54.

The six-foot-five actor had suffered a heart attack back in July, and reportedly died due to complications from that, said Ducan's fiancée, former The Apprentice contestant Omarosa Manigault.

Born in the lower-class South Side of Chicago, Duncan preceded his career as an actor with turns at ditch digging, bouncing, and stripping before moving to Los Angeles, where his impressive proportions got him work as a bouncer for the likes of Will Smith and Jamie Foxx. His big acting break came when he scored a part in Armageddon that had him strutting in slow-motion alongside Bruce Willis, who took a shine to Duncan and got him a meeting with Frank Darabont, leading to his casting and later acclaim in The Green Mile.

Though he'd never again receive the sort of accolades he earned for showing up Tom Hanks, his role as The Green Mile's gentle, innocent, magical death row inmate cemented his status as a Hollywood's premier enormous, bald, African-American talent (sorry, Tom Lister, Jr.). Following his turn in the Stephen King adaptation, he again worked with Willis in The Whole Nine Yards and later in Robert Rodriguez's Sin City. He also lent his iconic, booming voice to a wide variety of animated projects, and selflessly served the fanboy community with parts in Daredevil, The Green Lantern, and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. Duncan is survived by his mother and sister.

Color me fucking bummed, you guys. :(

EDIT: Really? This isn't news worthy of its own thread?

there were already posts in here about his death, so i figured you'd wanna be part of the convo. and it's not an issue of being worthy. Max made a good call posting about it here, because otherwise it'll end up as clutter that falls off the first page after a dozen or so posts and then is gone forever in the next purge.

anyway, he is good stuff in The Green Mile and The Whole Nine Yards. RIP.

Isn't that the case with about 90% of the topics on BL? ;)
 
THE ONLY GIRL I'VE EVER LOVED
WAS BORN WITH ROSES IN HER EYES

okay, I'm done MrGrunge. It's out of my system now. Promise.
 
I've just started watching Cape Fear (the 1991 version) and I'm already having trouble taking it seriously mainly due to the fact that thanks to The Simpsons I can't picture De Niro as anyone but Sideshow Bob. A similar thing happened when I watched The Shining. I hadn't realized how many scenes, sounds, and songs had been parodied from those movies.
