Yes, I am ashamed of the fact that I haven't seen Pan's Labyrinth yet. I really want to see it but I just haven't had time.

While I have not ventured on the sometimes zany, sometimes exciting, and sometimes capillary-pulling-out-of-the-still-beating-heart-due-to-the-pure-ineffectualality-behind-the-whole-hypothesis roller coaster of cinematography in quite awhile.

Nevertheless, Black Sheep caught my eye, so maybe I'll check into that.

I'm not sure if I want to see it. I like the TV show pretty well. I loved The State even more. However, my two favoritest comedy TV shows, Strangers with Candy and Da Ali G Show, turned out to be rather disappointing movies.

I'll wait for the DVD, probably.


Oh so it isn't a case of you judging a book by its cover, it's a case of you not having any taste.

Last film I saw in the cinema was Perfume: the storey of a murderer. I know its probably not running anymore but I loved it (pretty true to the spirit of the book if you've read that).

This movie is brilliant. Absolutely stunning and worth getting to a big screen for.

Stopper: I loved Infernal Affairs, but I was a wee bit baked and had an occasionally hard time folloing the plot :(

Another korean movie i recommend is JSA - it's not so out-there as the others we mentioned, it's about life in the DMZ though

I don't actually want to see Reno 911!, I was just trying to steer this thread back onto its course. Strangers with Candy movie WAS horrible, though, quite sadly. And Borat, not to mention Da Ali G Movie, whatever it was called, were at least disappointing compared to the show.

Nah Borat was a brilliant film purely for its ironic mocking tone... The American frat boys on a road trip being a prime example... I howled pretty much throughout (although the naked wrestling was a little sickening).

That's what I thought he might have meant, too. I was worried I was out of touch of youth lingo these days. Or maybe you're having us on?

anyone notice (well I guess you had to)
how fake it was whenever a guy got his head cut off in 300?

what like, a couple of squirts came out, as if your neck doesn't pump blood into your head at all

go play RE4 and get your head chopped off...a little exaggerated but a lot more realistic

Miller depicts violence very well without resorting to gratuitous aspects of it. Nightmare on Elm Street would probably do the head thing more to your liking. Stephen King is also good for that.

I just saw 300. Oh My God!

I've heard the complaints that it isn't historical because the Spartans talk of justice and freedom while their civilization was a violent and totalitarian society by today's standards. There is a reason they spoke of their freedom and justice. These Spartans were fighting against Xerxes, a man who would have made them into slaves and killed them.

And also, I must remind you that it historical fiction, based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller.

It's violent yet it is inspiring. A group of 300 soldiers; all of them knowing that they will die fighting for their lives, their families, and their beliefs. They fought to the last man and bought the time for their nation to rally and finally send out its army to meet the Persian invaders.

A truly inspiring if violent and intense tale.

You guys had almost convinced me that I should go see 300, so I started looking into it and found the funniest quote from the Rolling Stone review of it:

""...fanboys will thrill to the carnage and presumably forgive the puffed-up dialogue and regrettable lack of characterization."

or this one from the Atlanta Constitution-Journal, "...beautiful to look at and bombastic tripe to listen to."

I don't know, in the unlikely event that I can convince someone to go see it with me, I might give it a gander.

(Oh god, here I am setting myself up for more attacks from the 'fanboys'.)

Well this fanboy says make up your own mind. I'm not impressed by reviews. And Frank Miller rules (next to Garth Ennis that is).
