movies

I have no idea what to do with Terry Gilliam. I kind of like him, but I feel like watching his movies is some sort of endurance test.

Brazil is painfully overrated.

Oh look, it's weird, so it must be good

I think you miss the point of that movie.

It's suppose to be dull? That's the point?

IIRC, I saw a subtext of "the dull pointlessness modern life" and all that. But still... boring.

It's one of the best satires in film.

Baron Munchausen is a pretty accessible movie for Gilliam and will always be a sentimental favorite of mine.

She rented and made me watch Twilight. The relationship is now over. Coincidence?

Is this the same movie as New Moon?

have any of you read about how that book series ends? There was a CHUD article about it last week that's kinda spread all over the web that details it and it is bat-[expletive] insanely awesome.

I guess

And the worst part of the movie is that nothing happens. Seriously. NOTHING [expletive] HAPPENS.

Girl figures out that the incredibly pale guy is a vampire that sparkles in the sunlight, they fall in love in two minutes and he saves her from a much more realistic vampire. The end.

I watched Bruno this week. Lots of penis and things in butts.

Holy crap, I had to go there and search for the article "Twilight spoiler" popped it right up at the top. Meyer is such an awful writer, wow. I assume they'll somehow make a movie so they can make another quarter billion dollars, but, jeez, what an absurd premise. Unfilmable unless major book-to-film changes are made, in my opinion.

On another note, this stuff is marketed toward 12 year old girls. Spoiler, for those of you that will never, ever read nor see this series: (if you actually read this schlock - er, I mean fiction - don't read this )

Edward the vamp knocks the human chick up, the baby is super strong and its kicks sever her spine. Edward then gives her a C-section with his teeth. The wolf dude then falls in love with the newborn.

That is for preteens to read? I'm astounded.

oh, those crazy sexually frustrated fundamentalists/mormons.
