Last Movie You Watched.

Well, today I risked $9.00, the wrath of my wife and permanent bladder damage in order to see Grindhouse.

Fucking awesome.

Totally
fucking
awesome.

I think its as good as Anchor Man and Tall. Nights. 

Pretty huge gap in laughs/minute between those two if you ask me.  Sacha Baron Cohen was the only consistently funny part of Ricky Bobby, IMO.

"Will you be my, Katie Couric?"

  I forced my wife to sit down last night and watch "The Deer Hunter" with me last night (her first time). One of my alltime favorites, gets better with every viewing.

her first time? Well, my wife will NEVER watch it again (not cause she thinks it was bad, but the blood and gore factor)
great movie. I went to school in western PA and a lot of my friends and there dads worked in the mills so that part hit home.
I found a lot of it very disturbing, which, or course, it's supposed to be.

i love the scene just before the deer hunt, where john cazale has forgotten everything again, and deniro gets up in his face, holds up a bullet and says "See this? This is this. This ain't something else. THIS is THIS." i don't know why exactly, but i love that line.

  "one bullet"...
I love the contrasts between the different scenes, such as the drab mill town vs. the ornate Russian church...just great cinematography

  My wife was definately disturbed. Its funny, most of the movies my wife finds really disturbing are some of my favorites (Deer Hunter, Clockwork, Godfather). If she came home from a film I haven't seen and was terriby upset by it, I generally know right off that its got to be a great flick.

yea, the one bullet thing - the whole russian roullete and how Walken became a junkie
and when he\Deniro had the deer in his scope, and missed, and yelled "You Happy"

maybe you should watch Deliverance together next. then she'll really think you're disturbed.  :wink:

saw some GREAT movies on the plane, ones i just hadn't had time to see lately...

The Departed - probably one of the best movies in the last quarter century.  masterful from start to finish.

Stranger Than Fiction - fascinating story, and amazingly superb acting from Will Ferrell.  Dustin Hoffman's presence is only an awesome bonus.


also watched Borat (meh, the HBO series is funnier) and Pick of Destiny (which was OK, but nothing spectacular)

Am I seriously the only one who saw this this weekend?

You guys need to get out more. Tell your wives/girlfriends/pets or whatever that you are going to the hardware store or something and see this flick.

Watched a *ahem*   "Liberated" copy of 300 last night and thought it was pretty good.

Watched a *ahem*   "Liberated" copy of 300 last night and thought it was pretty good.

I watched two movies last week. One of them was 300. I really enjoyed, really well done over the top violence, with a very surreal style. Not a good date movie, however.

I also saw Beufort, an Israeli movie about an Israeli base in Lebanon set in 2001 (I think). It deals with the constant shelling of the base, and the eventual evacuation of said base when Israel retreated from Lebanon in that same year. Very interesting movie, that shows a more realistic perspective on military service then, say, Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers, since the behaviour of the characters seemed to make a lot more sense to me, and made the movie feel much more real. Anyways, if you get a chance to see it somehow, I highly recommend it (english subtitles are included even in the Israeli version of the movie, so no worrys about that).

[alcoholandcoffeebeans]

agreed. grindhouse is definately worth it.
so that was the last movie i saw...

last movie i bought was the before sunrise/before sunset duo.
i'm a girl, and deep down i like love stories.
