Tonight I saw The Last King of Scotland. It's about the regime of General Amin in Uganda during the 70's and a Scottish doctor who became his personal physician, based on a true story. Pretty good flick overall, though not mindbending. Forrest Whitaker is one hell of an actor, however.

Pfft, he's a big faker...

And he's coming to whip your ass Ghost Dog style!

I just watched "Grandma's Boy" this weekend...

...about 6 times...

It's f\/cking hilarious! Quite possibly the best worst movie ever! It has absolutely no point or plot...but the comedy is pure...stupidity! Watch it (drunk!).

Has anybody seen 300 yet? Awesome / overrated? The trailers look awesome, but it wouldn't be the first time for a movie that sucks. I'm thinking about catching it on Wednesday (20 peso night) if I can con my wife into it. We're planning to see Pan's Labyrinth tonight since she hasn't seen it and I wanted to give it another view.

Better than the trailers. REALLY gory though. I'd have to put it in my top 5 all time action movies. The spartans fighting techniques were pretty freaking awesome.

I saw it Friday night and was in awe for about 3 hours afterwards.

REALLY gory though, did I mention that? Good sex scene too.

 

[the_bird]

Good sex scene too.

You *had* to say that. I hate going to the movies, but SWMBO has been dying to see 300 - and a little bit o' tittie might be enough to get me to go along, dammit.

It better not disappoint!

 

[Dude]

Or what, tough guy?

 

[Cheesefood]

Or what, tough guy?

He'll flood HBT with posts condemning you, then he'll threaten you with bannings and delete your posts. Friggin mods here suck. Bunch of power-tripping ahole dbags.

Wow, didn't take you long to catch on...

GET BACK IN LINE, MAGGOT!

Here's another classic I just replaced from the Walmart dump bin....

1941!!

Sweet. SWMBO claims she wants to see it, but I have a feeling she'll regret it. Maybe she'll let me sneak out next week to catch it. We were going to catch it here in Mexico, but it doesn't open until March 30th Wednesdays are 20 peso night!

 

[kornkob]

I've thought many a time that this was some sort of evil cloning conspiracy, but I never mentioned it because last time someone mentioned a conspiracy (kornkob I think is was) they immediately disappeared.
Uh, oh! See you guys (or not I guess).

Don't worry-- I think that the AmishCanadian Conspiracy has been sidetracked for the time being.

But we should remain vigilent--- they could be back trying to steal our buttons and back bacon at any moment.

300 was particularly good in iMax. (although I confess that I didn't pay for it--- work took us to see the movie opening day)

Good call...I'll have to check with ours to see if it's playing. There's an IMAX down here, but it's not showing anything particularly interesting.

 

[todd_k]

Just saw 300 and it's a good one. Sort of a combination of Gladiator and Lord of the Rings. I knew it was based on a graphic novel but I didn't know it was based on a true event.

I can't believe Iran is all PO'd about this movie....

 

[Dude]

I saw it again last night....just as good the second time.

 

[Orfy]

Dude, have you changed your logo colour for good or just for the day?

Just for the day. (Tomorrow it will be red, for the color of my eyes, and for all the bloody marys I'll be drinking!)

 

[Orfy]

You know what, I fany a day of bloody marys.

What's your recipe?

Hang on , new thread........

I saw Blades of Glory last night. Low humor but I found the whole thing to be pretty funny. Have to like the "Will Ferrell" movie though.

Speaking of Will Ferrell I also saw Stranger Than Fiction recently, I thought it was a damn good movie.

I'm dying to see Blades of Glory, even though I didn't like Talladega Nights very much. It was more the script than the characters that were problematic.

 

[TxBrew]

I didn't like Talladega Nights either or find it that funny. Anchorman was so-so as well. Blades of Glory I was laughing the whole time.

 

[todd_k]

You can't leave out his cameo in Wedding Crashers.

Honey, look! I'm hang-gliding.......Aaaaaahhh.... I'm dead!

 

[LouT]

For movies that I can, or have and still will watch over and over:
Rocky 1 and 2
My Cousin Vinny
Midnight Run (Robert Deniro and Charles Grodin, it's funnier each time you watch it, since you notice more and more of the subtle stuff)
Top Gun
The Jerk
Mad Max (the first one, great flick)
Son In Law (if you're in a no-mind Pauly Shore kind of mood)
Friday (Ice Cube and Chris Tucker are hilarious)
Rush Hour (the first one)
American Pie (actually #2 beats out the first one for side splitting laughs, to me).
Rat Race (that one guy that makes the funny faces, I can't remember the actor's name, but I just crack up looking at the guy, plus the premise for the movie is a riot)

 

[Bernie Brewer]

A bunch of these have been mentioned already, but here goes a partial list anyway......


The Sting
Memphis Belle
Remember the Titans
the Replacements
The Right Stuff
Glory
Ghettysburgh
The entire 9 episodes of Ken Burns' Civil War Series (sense a pattern here?)
The Longest Day
Inherit the Wind
The Spirit of St. Louis



A ton more I can't think of at the moment

 

[pantherbrew]

Anything with Sam Elliot. The greatest hippy biker guy in the movies. He was a good beer drinker in Roadhouse..

 

[c.n.budz]

True Romance
Gangs of New York
Once Upon a Time in America (if you have an entire afternoon to watch it)
South Park; Bigger, Longer, Uncut
The Big Lebowski (obviously)
Caddyshack (the movie that inspired me to drop a baby ruth bar in a hotel pool and yell "Doody!!" )

I can. Actually, they're probably not so much PO'd as they want to get their own population riled up and angry at the West.

AND...SWMBO gave me permission to sneak out one night and watch it after the spawn has gone to bed. Sweet.
