OFFICIAL i love cricket MOVIES THREAD SPONSORED BY ELLIOT SPITZER & ORAL-B

you know what a was a totally RAD movie was THE LAWNMOWER MAN

http://www.vsi.pl/foto/lawnmower2.jpg

i'm watching timecop. ron silver is a poor man's andy garcia.

i think jean claude van damme's wife is the lady from ferris bueller? i'm having a hard time following this film actually. their version of 2004 is great, everyone seems to drive around in duck boats.

imo i think this movie never lives up the potential of that first awesome battle where the villains blow up timecop's house

also yah schef she is from ferris buller

ya there was also that one scene where there were two ron silvers and he was like "ahhh can't touch me" to ron silver 2 "we can't occupy the same time space" and i was like, aren't they doing that right now already? it's all a little over my head, i think. i'm not into this kind of physics.

so 'role models' was great dudes

Augie's larping girlfirnd was really cute! All the nerdy battlefield shit was great..."it's fun isn't it!". Loved it.

fyi cæk is a physics so maybe ask him

timecop is epochal imho

rescreend wag the dog last nite - pretty hilarious and fun and vaguely otm so long as u can shrug off the mamet condescension which reaches prob its all time peak - woody harrelson tho is def capable of a much more profound lunatic than offered within

Last night I watched The Left Handed Gun, maybe Paul Newman's gayest movie. He plays Billy the Kid -- adap'd from a Gore Vidal play.

that sounds pretty good tbh - whatd u think

so 'role models' was great dudes

not surprised - both rudd and stifler are a+ talent - no leak yet :(

here are links to important film criticism

forgetting sarah marshall
gran torino
the day the earth stood still

elephant--this movie was pretty dumb. probably not the best christmas eve choice in the world, either.

old joy--i liked this movie a whole bunch. i wish it had been a little longer, but it was pretty on the money

ilc seems like the type of borad that wld dig "the house bunny" (which i screened 2night and was v v good)

fyi it has cameos by matt leinart & shaq and the redhead from superbad in a major role

swedish vampire movie is the best thing ive seen all year

yes i agree w/ that it was rad

icey, I reviewed 2 of those 3, we shd replace those newbie scumbags on At the Movies.

Let the Right One In = dull

best show ever needs to happen

saw part of the not at all cool despereaux walked out into the shockingly strange and awful spirit - chirstmas failure at the movies booo - tho thankfully we stopped ourselves before benjamin button

btw stay away from Revolutionary Road

downloading slumdog millionaire screener. watching this before usa trip so i don't have to waste one of my free evenings there on it.

btw The Core is the best physics movie and best movie ever made

i hate this web page more than anything on earth, btw: http://www.intuitor.com/moviephysics/core.html

slumdog millionaire sukked

i watched spiderwick chronicles last nite it was pretty terrible. i was hoping it would be spooky and fun but it was tedious and forced and the plot was way too dumb even for kids i hate that unthinking attitude that con·de·scends kids arent that stupid!! well, okay maybe they are idk but still pretty unnecessary. also maybe complaining about cgi is played but c'mon:

real genius - more like real awesome

most kids are pretty dumb, like a baby probably couldnt do math

fyi real genius was filmed at http://www.campusexplorer.com/media/376x262/Occidental-College-21C83D3A.jpg

i'm pretty sure babies can do math actually i think there's a documentary series about this entitled "BABY GENIUSES" i've seen it around before

"baby boys can but baby girls cannot."
http://petersearle.com/images/steven_pinker.jpg

fyi real genius was filmed at occidental

I was about to RONG your ass, but it turns out it was shot there and at pomona.

guys please help me decide to watch on a ten hour flight:

http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/us/whatsonboard/inflightentertainment/movies/movieshomead.jsp

have already seen: dark knight, hancock, the happening, in search of a midnight kiss, indy, iron man, pineapple express, son of rambow (worst film of 2008, btw) and tropic thunder

id go mongol forgetting sarah marshall and step brothers out of the rest

your review of forgetting sarah marshall piqued my interest, its true.

forgetting sarah marshall is pretty funny. the wave looks good but maybe too heavy for a flight i kind of want to see it now. also wanted and house bunny are good.

i will write capsule reviews of them like mogwai

btw i saw step brothers on the plane and i lold out loud - also i was drunk

on virgin america u can order drinks from yr little tv screen - its an important innovation

i know!

you should get virgin atlantic to use your capsule reviews to replace the ones on their site they have to be better than "From director Shyamalan comes this eco-chiller..."

i flew with them on the redeye and the flight was 20% full or something. i was the only one awake and drinking. i had fun talking to the stewardess about good mixers with whisky and after i paid for my third W + ginger ale she said, "should I just keep these coming?" and smiled. i got five more without paying!

i never get a movie on the plane maybe something to think about for tomorrow

xpost or just flirt with stewardesses and score free drinks!

best time I was the only one drinking tho was when i got upgraded to business on BA to India and I think I was the only non-strictly-observant muslim. was shit-housed by the time i got off the plane. lol gin.

the fall is supposed to be good but u might wnt to watch on a big screen

that virgin america stewardess was literally the hottest stewardess i have ever seen. i had a headstart though because i had met her on an empty flight from LA to SFO the week before. i hope i see her this time.

lol holy shit, VA LAX to SFO is $49 while I am in town. party time.

ok back to movie talk sorry

get pics

will-do

my shortlist for movies is: 21, dark knight rewatch, drillbit, sarah marshall, mongol, step bros, wackness

fall does sound like something to see in a cinema

lol at virgin's blurb for what happens in vegas: "A treat for the eyes, a rest for the brain."

CJ7 sounds really good too lol at "And things get even weirder..." teaser damn you VA now i want to see this movie. also should do a best airline stewardesses poll imo

for our respective flights, i meant - american vs. virgin

i will ask them for free booze and say "i'm liveblogging this btw"

fyi this movie is currently on shotime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Dragon

Produced by Berry Gordy

??
:0

its actually called "berry gordy's the last dragon"

haha all-bad-movie thread

Step Brothers

Funny except when Will Ferrell does that crap where he talks about unicorns and steeds and gates and shit. Richard Jenkins saying "fuck" a lot was great.

Young@Heart

New I shouldn't have watched this on a plane. I get v. succeptible to blubbing when at altitude. Luckily the girl next to me was asleep. Heartwarming stuff.

Gin and Tonic

This is a great drink, although I spilt most of the first one on my trousers and now I smell a little bit of gin maybe. Will wash them before I go out tonight.

oh man the poster for The Last Dragon is fucking amazing

i know i was considering polling it

I am considering buying it

fyi did any of you know that spike lee is in the process of creating "inside man 2"?????

i learned this on imdb while trying to settle the debate, who is older: laurence fishburne or denzel washington (i was right)

lol reading post 1: "i think i would like to see his bookmarks, one day" reading post 2: "ooooh"

capsule review: the spirit is pretty lame, don't go see it

i watched "go" last night and i think i might start a thread about it

should there be an ilc books thread too or does that make us too gay/noize

do it do it

no don't do it stop

that wasnt directed at you max that was directed at spike lee and making inside man 2

JOOKES

we're now watching "casualties of love: the long island lolita story" starring jack scalia and alyssa milano -- i will update everyone on how this is tomorrow.

seen it :/

half watching barcelona right now <3 this movie

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106527/quotes

this was really bad

ok just watched back to the future 2 and i have a lot of questions. honestly, i feel that, like the bill & ted franchise, after a serious and somber treatment of time travel as featured in the first installment, this fast and loose anything goes attitude is way too cavalier and really is a disservice to time travel. why is doc brown ok with altering the future to prevent marty's kid from going to jail, but is against marty having the gambling book? i feel george carlin would've been ok with this btw. also, the dvd extras features a video of "power of love" -- but huey lewis and the news are not featured at any point in back to the future 2. also, why can't doc brown just use his time machine to come back from the wild west to rescue marty from 1955?

there's just a lot of things going on. also there is this thing, found on the internet:

Robert Zemeckis describes the message of the movie as a lesson about the use of information about the future. Information about the future can be dangerous , when it is used to change the world to negative results.

a good lesson to be learned. i hope that zemeckis also will tackle the topic of the dangers of hanging out with cartoons.

also -- marty leaves the hoverboard in '55 -- i feel that this technology is even more valuable than the gambling book.

FURTHERMORE: what the fuck was crispin glover doing that was soooooo important that he skipped this one? gotta go be creepy?

i just recently watched a double feature of "definitely, maybe" and "any given sunday" both of which i think bring up important issues to think about

definitely, maybe is the kind of movie where one of the characters says the title of the movie as dialogue while wearing a ridiculous short kilt at a rooftop party in 1992. also u can really tell it was a romantic/comedy/mystery written by a guy because when he tells superhot girls to stfu they dont find this to be a total dick move but instead fall deeply in love with him. i mean, maybe all romantic/comedy/mysteries are written by dudes but this one def was and the whole "my life in NYC" part was creepy, a little.

any given sunday is a bad movie idk who made it or thought of it or learned that "frenetic" was a word and that it could be used to artfully describe a directorial style but i hate them and cameron diaz, both.

OFFICIAL i love cricket MOVIES THREAD SPONSORED BY ELLIOT SPITZER & ORAL, B

srsly wtf adam schefter every time i hit post there u are this annoys me because back 2 the future is probably, certainly a more vital discussion topic than my post

MY THOUGHTS: the replacement of claudia wells was a travesty

dud any given sunday -- wtf that movie is classic al pacino screaming bullshit! I HAVE MADE EVERY MISTAKE A MIDDLE AGED MAN COULD MAKE

xpost i am sorry i don't mean to steal your thunder and you've just posted about a v important movie, and had a challops about it i feel. also! i've been remarking for two hours about the replacement of original jennifer versus elisabeth shue! that was disconcerting.

dud=dude

the penis right in your face in any given sunday was quite shocking to me in my young age

seriously -- any given sunday is a really "bad" movie but i just love al pacino's bizarre "whatever i'm just going to yell random shit" performance so much. i do hate cameron diaz in it tho -- i feel she's about to bring the ship down at any second. ann margret is top notch tho.

oh god now we're watching back to the future 3 -- will report later, drunker.

schef i wanted to love any given sunday so much that when i walked into one of the partner's offices and he was watching it i was like "dude, any given sunday! awesome!" and then we started watching it and srsly it is so terrible how can u defend the absolute retardedness of the everything in this movie?

al pacino's ridiculous shouting performance in the last half hour is basically how i defend it -- plus drunken ann margret.

going back to back to the future: a big meta question i have is how does 2008 ski-vest velcro-shoes hipster marty mcfly even have such a bff relationship with eccentric middle-aged life-long bachelor doc brown? i guess it is kind of how i hang out with dr. morbius, except with a delorean, and breasts, but that's improbable too, if you think about it.

if yr talking about the breasts than i agree i thought u were a dude up until right now

whoa! that is flattering, i think. but i am not a dude.

btw back to the future 3 is so far? ridiculous. every scene is identical to the previous films except there are more cowboys and less kanye sunglasses.

yeah thats what makes it awesome imo

yeah, agreed so far -- plus christopher lloyd is a pretty great bro imo. back to the future trilogy, addams family, roger rabbit, taxi, the invention of steampunk in back to the future 3 -- this is basically impeachable.

UNimpeachable lol!

yah sorry schef if that was y'know-ish just a little surprised... i think because i only see u post about like nfl, dude movies and "smashing" rihanna???? bad msgbrd etiquette sorry

we're having a spirited (or spirits-fueled! lol!) argument over natural born killers vs. mean girls vs. getting more snax

did huey lewis do the songs for back to future sequels??

lol! not bad msgbrd etiquette no need to apologize -- a topless photo of me was posted to ilx so i basically go into every convo assuming you've all seen my boobs so it's refreshing when ppl think i'm a dude!

and no, no huey lewis so far--just blipsters and cowboys in the sequels so far!!

i don't understand natural born killers v mean girls v snax -- i think i'd vote for snax btw.

ok SO. amazing thing about the dvd features is this documentary about back to the future hosted by noted banana fan, kirk cameron??? i have no idea why this would've occurred in any sense, ever. zz top got the theme song for backto the future 3 btw.

omg this kirk cameron documentary is lol! i wish i had screenshot ability on my tv reliably because OH. MY. GOD! guys come to my house. i'll show you this.

i'm talkin to myself aren't i

a cover of dancing with myself plays over the credits of mean girls fyi

i love that btw

I think the pitch for Any Given Sunday was "King Lear in the NFL".

recommended: "revolver" starring jason statham its everything i wanted wanted to be a noirish modern fable steeped in cartoonish mysticism and ultraviolence it has andre 3K and big pussy as zen gangsters preaching the destruction of the self as the only true path to freedom and frequent epigraphs in a "samurai" font from something called the book of suicides ~~~~ also some anna wintour-ish henchman in oversized sunglasses leading a coterie of supermodels through an italian cathedral it is *wonderful*

that movie revolver with the morricone score is pretty good too

oh theres some morriconne in this revolver aka blood on the sheets as well

The Rocker on the plane back from NYC. Made me laugh a few times and an undemanding plot. Kids are all sensitive and shy and not all bon vivant, and Rainn Wilson 10x better than Will Ferrell playing a part I assume was written for him. Good plane movie.

Enjoyed this IMDB review:
If you liked "Almost Famous" or "School of Rock," then you will like this movie more. While rated PG13, the movie contains no F-bombs or sex scenes and is a movie parents can feel safe letting their teen and pre-teen children go see.
