I've had a random urge to see Invasion of The Body Snatchers again (the Donald Sutherland version). That movie gave me a minor dump-truck phobia.
Radical.
Radical.
I wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be the center of attention. I wanted the glory, I wanted the fame. I wanted the pretty girls to come up and say, "Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede."

The rubber plant was surprised. If the rubber plant could have spoken, it wouldn't have said anything. That's how surprised the rubber plant was.
Just watched Little Miss Sunshine, was not what I had expected as I thought it was just going to be one of those slow moving type movies. But MAN I have not had a movie make me cry, laugh and feel all warm and fuzzy inside all at once. Haven't said this before about a movie in a long time...one of the BEST movies ever!
Also watched (Not all at once of course):
A Scanner Darkly - had read the book and the book was rather so-so and didn't really get my head around it, but when I saw it visually it made me to aahhhh...dahhh now I freggin' get it!
Marie Antoinette - Visually nice, a bit boring as it was a bit monotous, just like her life I guess...

I think the Wachowski brothers (Matrix) are doing a similar film called Invasion...apparently the studio got them in to rewrite 70% of the script.C.I.A. wrote:I've had a random urge to see Invasion of The Body Snatchers again (the Donald Sutherland version).

300 is superb btw. Only a Scotsman could play a Greek. LOL

what was stupid about it?
Why did this phenomenon cause every contry except Britain to destroy itself?
The Fishes wanted the baby for their political agendas... but what agendas?
It could have been a great movie, and I have no problems with unanswered questions, but when it renders the movie pointless then it's just stupid.
It doesn't matter. The infertility is just a metaphor for the human race's loss of hope.Hardy wrote:Why did the planet just suddenly become infertile?Will wrote:really? i thought it was fucking brilliant.Hardy wrote: Children Of Men - Well shot, but fucking stupid.

One of the main things about it is that people don't understand why it happened. Perhaps it was pollution? Punishment from God?
Why are sperm rates generally decreasing in the real world?
I don't think it really matters but here's an explanation for you...Hardy wrote: Why did this phenomenon cause every country except Britain to destroy itself?
Perhaps the idea is that society has pretty much fallen apart because no one gives a shit anymore because no kids equals no future. But why do you necessarily believe the propaganda fed to the inhabitants of the film that Britain is necessarily much better off than the US or Australia? Britain looked pretty fucked up to me anyway.
Their goal was to enact change by bringing the government down and putting themselves into power and they saw the baby as a tool to do that. They only wanted to save the world if they could run it, making them just as bad as the people they wanted to replace.Hardy wrote: The Fishes wanted the baby for their political agendas... but what agendas?
I don't think leaving out some exposition renders it pointless at all. I thought it was a really effective critique of our society, which is one of the things science fiction can do really well.Hardy wrote: It could have been a great movie, and I have no problems with unanswered questions, but when it renders the movie pointless then it's just stupid.
Plus there was some fucking cool bits like having love-interest Julianne Moore cop it half an hour into the movie and that one take battlefield scene. Awesome.
I agree that not everything requires an explanation, but there were far to many holes and loose ends in that movie.Will wrote:It doesn't matter.

The battlefied scene at the end was fucking magnificent though.

the whole point of that movie is that it has dubstep in it.Hardy wrote:I agree that not everything requires an explanation, but there were far to many holes and loose ends in that movie.Will wrote:It doesn't matter.

Caught 300 last night, meh. Was not expecting anything in plot and dialogue, but I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. Pretty much has nothing going for it other than fight scenes, the novelty of which wore of after 5 mins of killing. Some highschool drama club grade performances across the board too. Again wasn't expecting anything good, but when it's painfully shit. thumbs up for graphic decapitations though.

Saw 300 last night.
Was good, but was also a bit too much like watching gay porn. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But, as a rule, I prefer not to pay $15.00 to see 20 men wearing nothing more than leather jockeys and red capes striding with waaaay too much gusto towards me.

I also saw 300 and thought it was poo. Agree with CIA on the gay porn thing and the dialogue was sooooo cheesy. Effects were all good, but then i got bored seeing men being speared in slow motion.
I was also a little put off by the blatent religious/political undertones of the good white man driven by loyalty and determination fighting to the death to protect his morals from the corruption of the nasty asian/black man.
And what the fuck was going on with the flute-playing goat?
Then i watched Casino Royale and that was just ok too.
Someone point me in the direction of a really good film before I give up on them all together.

"Half-Nelson" and "The Science of Sleep" were both very good. Both forthcoming.
