For Christmas, Minna got me the boxed set of the "Man with No Name" trilogy; the famous Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns filmed by Sergio Leone. I'm a sucker for these kinds of movies, and we've been enjoying the brooding anti-hero ( Read more... )

As miusheri said, we went out to see Gran Torino tonight. This afternoon, actually. I was stunned to find that the 1:45 showing was still counting as a matinee- I thought that, nowadays, matinees ceased with the first showing. I'm not complaining- $5 tickets on a lazy Sunday afternoon are nothing to complain about ( Read more... )

This looks awesome. I'm a sucker for Clint Eastwood flicks, and I'm a sucker for Westerns. And look at that trailer. Sure, it's a modern day setting, but tell me that story structure isn't a Western in disguise.

I need to go to an alternate universe where this film was actually made. I will then return here with a copy, and we will all gape in astonishment in the awesome coolness of such a thing.

Y'know, by having a presence on the Internet, by having this "friends" page that I read regularly, I'd imagine that people would tell me about important things. Things like the fact that Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell starred in a low-budget sci-fi slasher flick together. But now I see how it is- you can't be trusted to reveal this crucial facts ( Read more... )
