Jeeeez....you forgot "Devil's Advocate"

Women are fisher's of men because we all know.... The small ones you throw back. The medium ones you eat. The large ones you mount.

I forgot to add

-Shogun-

the 12 hour miniseries.

I liked Bobo's Grievous Scunge Bonanza.

What others say about boorite!

The sequel was better.

I just saw The Matrix for the first time. That's some real cutting-edge 80s cyberpunk right there.

What I want to know is who would use an I/O device that kills you if you shut it down improperly? It's bad enough that Windows tells you when it is and isn't "safe" to turn off your computer. Can you imagine trying to market this thing? "We've got this revolutionary new total-immersion VR doohickie. It does have one little drawback: If someone kicks a plug out, your ass is DEAD." Uh, I'll stick with the PlayStation until you iron out that little kink, thanks.

Oh, and if someone shoots you in cyberspace, holes appear in your actual body. That's a benefit. I wonder how they designed that feature in.

And did I hear this right-- that the computers feed us this lavish hallucination so that they can use us as energy sources? Batteries, basically? Wouldn't coal or hydro be more efficient? I mean, it'd save the computers the trouble of having Agents chasing renegade humans around their innards all the time. And I don't mean this in a self-deprecating way, but I imagine I'd make a real shitty battery.

Worst of all, this movie copped all the patented Gibson (not to mention Sterling, Rucker, Shiner, and Spinrad) moves, but they left the corporate out of corporate-dominated dystopia. So there goes about three-fourths of the sociological substance of the genre.

The special effects were bitchin'.

Robocop-- now that was an SF flick.

What others say about boorite!

I agree with Boorite about the Matrix. There were holes in that plot you could drive a hovercraft through.

I never understood what the machines actually wanted. They were using humans as batteries so they could harvest humans and use them as batteries, and hunt down the remaining humans so they could use them as batteries too. So if they didn't have the matrix, they could save loads of power on all the rigmarole needed to run it. It's not like we saw a society of robots that needed all this energy.

My favorite movies are The Princess Bride and Orgazmo.

I'm considering adding Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back to the list, but I have to see it about 5 more times before I decide for sure.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead WAS a damned good flick, DexX.

JrnymnNate:

I have to ask a few very serious questions. This is not a flame, it's a genuine request for clarification in the hopes that I might better understand your motivations.

Do you think you're clever? I mean, when you make a post like the one above, do you give yourself a little mental pat on the back for effectively putting me in my place? Do you think that posts like the one above are something that other people will find witty and worthy of admiration and take back every mean thing they ever said about you?

What happens if nothing you do or say will make people appreciate you? Will you continue to stay in a place where there is a great deal of negativity and animosity directed toward you? Will you continue to repeat the same behavior that caused the negativity in the first place?

Are you gaining any insight from the way people have been reacting to you? If several people all say the same thing about your behavior, does it make you wonder if perhaps your behavior requires examination and perhaps modification?

If overcoming the reputation you've built for yourself here is too difficult, might it not be wise to take the lessons you've learned from here, and go to some other online community and start over there? Wouldn't that be better for your self-esteem?

I really want to understand this. Perhaps in helping me understand this, you'll come to some realizations of your own.

Pink Floyd's The Wall - A film about power, pain, madness, lonliness, alienation, betrayal, the after-effects of war -as many of my favourite films are- and briefly, hope. It hits you over the head repeatedly, and it works.

Jacob's Ladder - Again; the absurdity and surrealism of war and what it does to people is molded into one seriously frightening movie.

Catch 22 - Brilliant.

Hamlet with Mel Gibson - What do you know? He can act. And quite well. Really well done.

The Quiet Man - Vintage John Wayne and a beautiful Irish landscape from back when they actually used scripts, directors, actors and plots to make a film work. Maureen O'Hara doesn't look too shabby, either.

The Andromeda Strain - Sci-Fi the way is was meant to be: Stark, cold, precise and with a serious nail-biter of a plausible plot.

The Breakfast Club - A look at high school kids as actual human beings. Which one did you identify with?

Fritz The Cat - Funny as hell. (Animated).

American Graffiti - A slice of Midwest teenage life from pre-Beatles middle America. A gem if you understood the era, campy if you didn't.

Citizen Kane - Yeah, I know.... But they still don't know how they made that opening shot.

Dune - I liked this a lot. The special effects are used to create an environment and not obscure mediocre acting. Sting still can't act, but; all in all a very interesting film.

Quadrophenia - I saw the premier for this in L.A. at the Westwood. Another slice of sixties teenage life, this time from Old Blighty. All this and Who music.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

I tend to be more critical of films than adulatory. It's in the job description.

It's difficult to name an all-time favourite, but some of the best are The Usual Suspects, Leon, Goodfellas, Unforgiven, Die Hard, Akira and Twelve Angry Men.

My favourite film of the last year or so is Brotherhood of the Wolf. My least favourite is a toss-up between Exit Wounds, Proof of Life or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Oh, wait, how could I forget Orphans? It's brilliant.
