Movie review thread...

<p>yea, i want to see it (Mrs Mariner is reading the book at the moment). Gratuitous titties is a bonus. </p>

<p>Just got back from Philomena , it was pretty good but very sad too. The Catholic Church comes out of it very badly . As you'd expect Judi Dench was excellent and Steve Coogan who I always thought was a bit of a tool was very good. He shagged Courtney Love a few years ago apparently , I'm surprised he still alive.<br><br>
Breast count of zero thank fuck .</p> -
<p>The new Hobbit flick - had a couple of vouchers, so took the boy to Gold Class yesterday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As with the last one, once you put aside purist tendencies and DON'T expect a faithful recreation of the book, its a great ride. And in fact, those purists calling for Jackson's head should probably get fucked, as the book was quite compressed and breezed through several events. I think he's done a pretty good job overall.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bad bits: Beorn - the fact that Gandalf mentioned straight up he was a skinchanger gave me the shits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, these dwarves can fucking carve up a bunch of orcs while floating in barrels down a river, but can't beat them face-to-face in someone's house? Get fucked. I'm a dwarf fan, so I get the shits when people use them as <strong>edit: comical</strong> plot devices instead of what they actually are: tough-as-nails grumpy fluffybunnys who can take a pounding and march for days then go kick some arse in battle. Elves get the good treatment, dwarves get the short-stupid-human treatment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Evangeline Lilly is fit as fuck. Dragon was good. They're going to need to do a bit of work fixing Erebor once they kill his silly arse though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I struggled to see what the elaborate plot of trying to bury a dragon in molten gold was meant to achieve. No dwarf would attempt any of that shit, knowing dragons are basically fireproof.</p> -

<p>It really surprises me that Evangaline Lilley hasn't had a more successful career . She has everything that appeals yo the superficial male such as myself.</p>

<p>Deceptive Practices. The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay.</p>
'></a>. The other parts are on You Tube too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A documentary about the best slight of hand magician I have ever seen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you want to see any Ricky, try this link for the first part of the film of his broadway show <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href=' -
<p>Finally got round to seeing Gravity on the big screen and have to say I thought it was ace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes the science is hokey, but I can't remember the last time a film had me squirming in my seat like that. I'm now seeing if I can can catch it at an Imax just for the full effect.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thought Bullock and Clooney were great. Surprised at Bullock in particular - didn't think Miss Congeniality could be that good. I had assiduously avoided all critiques and reviews and although I knew the basics I had no real idea what the outcome might be. Some people might say we still don't know ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All in all, I thought it was breathtaking. Easily 5 stars for me. Maybe the joyless debunking from astro-nerds might lessen it a bit in time, but for now it's easily the best space movie I've seen.</p> -
Astro-nerds can go fuck themselves. <br><br>
While waiting for the Taipans game last night I flicked through the usual B-grade Friday night movie fare and ended up watching "Eight Legged Freaks". It's so awesomely bad I enjoyed it. at least they knew they were making a b movie and didn't take anything seriously. Spiders are gross. <br><br>
Noticed the main chick was pretty hot, but didn't really remember seeing her in anything else. Her IMDB page is littered with b movie badness (and more than a few spider movies) and a quick Google search showed she has no hang ups about getting her kit off. Good girl. -

<p>Dude, how THE FUCK are you still married ? seriously ?</p> -
Not sure what you mean
-
If you can't talk to your wife about women who are paid to look good on screen then maybe that says more about your marriage than mine

You need to put more work in desensitising here to some of your more abhorrent personality traits I suspect. <br><br>

I trust you are talking about something else, as I really don't know what is "abhorrent" about admiring a good looking woman in a movie or on TV. -

<p>I was directing that and MN5 and it depends how he's doing it I guess. Sitting on the couch in favorite onesie hugging a cushion and mouthing the words "help me" whenever Angelina Jolie comes on screen would probably be crossing a line with most women for example.</p> -

She got her kit off heaps in the 90s. She was a VJ on MTV once upon a time and she was all kinds of ridiculously hot. Again as with Rachel Weisz get your favourite clean up receptical ready, dim the lights, put on some of that metal shit you like and have at it Hoss. Google is your friend.
