I just started watching Drunken Master and I have to say that I absolutely love the old cheesy sound effects. It makes every single movement seem so cool. That WHOOMP WHOOMP sound whenever they move kicks ass. Life would be much more interesting if I had a sound effects studio enhancing everything I did. Hell, by the time I finish watching this ( Read more... )

I loathe hippies. I hate them with every fiber of my being. I wish I could stomp them all to death.

And, yesterday, I was forced to endure almost two hours of hippie crap at Randy's movie night. The event featured Across the Universe, a musical based on nothing but Beatles songs. In that way, I guess it follows in the footsteps of Mama Mia and ( Read more... )

A few years ago, a horror movie was released that involved a buncha girls going spelunking and getting attacked by horrible monsters. The entire thing looked absolutely ridiculous in previews. A lot of shadows cast on walls and rapid camera movements intermixed with lotsa girls shrieking. For some reason I don't even recall, I actually went to ( Read more... )

If I were to ever weep while watching a movie, it would be right now. In anticipation of snagging the entire run of Highlander the tv show, I decided to look up the franchise on Wikipedia. I was surprised to see that another movie had come out completely without my notice starring Adrian Paul. No doubt this was due strongly to the fact that it was ( Read more... )

So at least a couple of people on the ol' friends list have mentioned getting into tussels with the significant other lately. Partly, this entry is for you since you can read this and know that no matter how dysfunctional or fucked up your relationship can be at times, you'll probably never meet or cross this line (On a sidenote, if you _have_ ( Read more... )

I never did mention this but I saw Blade Runner for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Randy invited everyone up to his place to see the ultra-wonkish new version of the film on blue-ray. He had recently picked up a PS3 and wanted to christen it with a movie night ( Read more... )

I'm watching We Were Soldiers on TNT and those rat bastards cut out my favorite quote of the whole movie. It's the part where Mel Gibson's character is reassuring one of his officers who's a bit uncertain about the future. Gibson suggests that they might offer up a prayer and here is what he said:

Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: Our Father in Heaven, ( Read more... )

Alright, so sue me. I didn't end up going to bed. I decided to drop off a couple more comments, responding to someone's suggestion that Karate Kid III might be one of the worst movies of all time. I couldn't let that sort of thing lie, could I? I mean, it's like claiming that Scott Bakula was the worst Star Trek captain of all time with Kate ( Read more... )

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and it's filled with people who are filled with shit.
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
This past Sunday, a bunch of us headed out to see Sweeney Todd. For some reason, it was deemed acceptable that we catch the 10:20 showing, which in my opinion is an ungodly hour for a movie on a Sunday. Not ( Read more... )
