Yeah see I really liked Zoolander and I own Anchorman and could watch it a hundred times and still find it funny. But 40 year old virgin made me want to hurt people.

I guess something either tickles you or it doesn't.

I feel the same way about movies like Zoolander, Dodge Ball & anything with Rob Schneider

I love Zoolander.

All about the Blue Steel!

i also like Dodge Ball and Rob Schneider, i reckon they are fuckin funny to watch. Rob Schneider in 50 First Dates had me almost crying with laughter.

I actually didn't mind 40 Year Old Virgin because I watched it without the expectation that it would be on a par with Anchorman. Whilst it definitely missed the X factor of Will Farrell, I enjoyed it for the shameless piece of fluff that it was.

Expectations are the biggest killer when it comes to any form of entertainment, be it music, movies, books, TV or stage shows.

dust · Post by **dust** » Mon May 08, 2006 2:59 pm

^^ its your fault that I watched it and had expectations. You said it was good and i will never, ever forgive you.

just kidding i luff you nic

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:02 pm

Then I must humbly apologise!

The first time I found it fairly average, but it was definitely funnier on the second viewing when some of the better elements of the script hit home.

Definitely no Anchorman though!

I'm hurt

Yeh 40 year old virgin was pretty lame. Im not usually a fan of all the Ben stiller, Rob Schneider, Will Ferrel etc stupid humour...but i absolutely loved Anchorman though.

Caught it today at Nova (for free!!) and it's excellent. It's a little disjointed but it's a real feel-good film.

Bigup Lauren Hill and the Fugees... and Dead Prez too.

So much talent out there... seriously

not too manly to say that "Todo Sobre Mi Madre" always brings a tear to my eye. Almodovar is an amazing film maker - even his lesser films always have something to captivate me.

that was a bit of a Marisa Parides fest for you last night, too!

It always makes me cry!! I saw the film at the cinema with my mum and i absolutely loved it. I now own it on dvd and everytime I see it I have a little blub.

I can safely say the Almodovar is one of my favourite directors. He always depicts familial relationships with so much warmth and soul and every film is quirky without being too weird.

Post by **system** » Thu May 11, 2006 12:47 pm

and he has his brother do a cameo in every film! how family orientated is that.

he's also one of the few openly gay directors to actually depict people of every sexual orientation realistically. Agrado, from AAMM, is a great example alone!

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Thu May 11, 2006 2:35 pm

Victoria Abril is awesome too. It's all too rare these days that an actor can play totally different characters instead of just being themselves in every film (ie George Clooney, William Shatner).

PahMaLa · Post by **PahMaLa** » Thu May 11, 2006 3:25 pm

Finally watched Naria The Lion, The Witch & The Woredrobe. I have mixed feelings, as I've also just finished reading all of the books. It was enjoyable to watch but.

she's hot! he never uses her anymore though.

dust · Post by **dust** » Thu May 11, 2006 3:58 pm

Yep she's wicked. She was really great in High Heels, but i think that's the last Almodovar film she was in.

Post by **system** » Thu May 11, 2006 4:01 pm

very true. she was amazing in "Nobody Will Speak of Us When We're Dead", which came out about a year after HH.

she still gives amazing performances, but must have fallen out of Pedro's good books.

dust · Post by **dust** » Thu May 11, 2006 4:05 pm

maybe she wouldn't put out.

Post by **system** » Thu May 11, 2006 4:16 pm

it's happened with a few of his favourites, like Carmen Maura & Cecilia Roth.

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Thu May 11, 2006 4:21 pm

You guys are so high-brow. I thought Almodovar was a Spanish Sesame Street character...

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Thu May 11, 2006 4:28 pm

Not sure I'd call Almodovar high brow. Have you ever seen Kika?

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Thu May 11, 2006 4:29 pm

He's not really high-brow, I was just feeling feisty...

I'm Slovak, and Hostel is just way off the mark when it comes to poverty in the area. And there are def no gypsy kids roaming around the area asking for candy or $1 coins.

BUT IT'S SPOT ON ABOUT HOW GOOD THE WOMEN LOOK!! :jawdrop:

Can any slavic women plz call me. My mum wants me to get married, but i can't find the right girl.

Nah, haven't seen Hostel yet, have to wait for the DVD release. Gutted I missed it at the movies, I just never seem to go to the cinema anymore. Will try and get down there for Hills Have Eyes this week. That Slither movie looks potentially repulsive too, but I reckon it will be shithouse.

I've ALWAYS been meaning to check out the Italian zombie classics, but I never have! Been meaning to watch ZFE, and have been told to see Zombie Holocaust and the old Dario Argento movies.

Watched the Family Stone last night. Was pretty good for an SJP movie.

Seeing 2 new episodes of the Sopranos tonight. So excited!!!
