Y'all sure do love to talk highbrow cinema Role Models is a good movie If I have to have a serious-person answer probably Casablanca, maybe Almost Famous or My Cousin Vinnie. The Lord of the Rings films are just like this whole separate thing. Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Aug 1, 2014 |

Thanatosian posted:Have you ever watched the movie? It's not really about smoking. And it is totally unsurprising that a judge would enjoy that movie. Yeah I saw it when it first came out, but it wasn't very memorable for me so I don't remember anything beyond "lobbying bad" and that scene where Champ Kind invades Panama

Fellowship of the Ring was great. The other two I don't feel like I'd really enjoy watching again though they have some great scenes. I guess I'm not much of a movie person in general though. I don't see very many.

They're great films but they're also this whole cultural res to the point that it's hard to even evaluate them as a movie. How you feel about hobbits and/or wizards matters a lot more than how you feel about, say, Liv Tyler's acting.

I mean, Walken is awesome in it, don't get me wrong; but the film is one of the greatest buddy action flicks every made. The fight scenes are awesome, the dialogue is definitely genre and corny, but it's self-aware and funny. Both The Rock and Stifler are great. It is, overall, an awesome popcorn flick.

The Whole Nine Yards, with Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet? Grossed $100m at the box office, that one? The Whole Ten Yards is also, honestly, a good movie.

I think you're maybe close to my age HA, so if you lived through the horror of watching animated orcs sing "Where There's A Whip, There's A Way" you will be forever grateful to Peter Jackson. Joementum posted:The Rundown is worth watching for Walken's tooth fairy monologue, but not much else.  in real life and he goes from Friday Night Lights to Battleship, so I'm not deifying the guy by any stretch, it's just that it seems his bizarro wannabe tough guy personality and his tutelage under Michael Mann seem to have created some sort of syncretic working ethos that can spawn the perfect stupid guy movie somehow. OR BATTLESHIP.And, yeah, how could I forget Four Lions? It's on my "brill, da!" list with The Guard. I didn't like In Bruges, much as I wanted to, but I would pretty much watch a movie about Brendan Gleeson baking muffins and muttering poo poo as he watches the morning news at this point.

It's just brilliant in its stupidity. Of course Berg seems like a total I thought the way they worked the board game's mechanic into the movie in Battleship was fun. I also like movies that help people realize that Congress appropriated funds in 2005 to keep a battleship in working order on each coast in case we needed to fight an enemy that sends two battleships against us from different directions.

So a while back someone posted a link to the song "Come all ye coal miners" and there was a bit of Appalachia chat. I was wondering if any of you know of any good documentaries or movies set during industrialization with a focus on labor movements. I have a feeling that it would pair well with the bottle of whiskey and foul mood I have at the end of a long work week. laters~

You could see the old veterans and the mothballed ship coming a mile away, and the movie had already been horrible for like an hour at that point, but man was that the diarrhea icing on the shitcake. I think I was watching through my fingers by then. I still can't believe I paid to see that in a theater and sat through it. Never again, Berg! Never again

Then watch Jessica Lange put Beverly D'Angelo to shame as Cline in "Sweet Dreams." Then watch "Nashville" for the hillbilly music movie trifecta.

Not super informative, but it gives you an interesting look into what it was like on the ground, especially how hard the coal miners continued to have to struggle in Appalachia well after industrialization. Harlan County is also notable for a 1930's strike which inspired a wife of a miner to write the classic 'Which Side Are You On?'

One of my coworkers told me yesterday that he's sure he could endure being waterboarded without breaking. He also knows a guy who was in some branch of the military who won a training exercise by seeing a pilot's name badge through the scope of a "sniper rifle" and another guy who was an FBI informant and had plans to to shoot down a "communication satellite" during the Sochi Olympic coverage. He's a smart guy, but holy poo poo did someone write "gullible" all over the ceiling.

well all you need is a long spine board and a gallon of water. you can find these things almost anywhere. some recommend a towel wrapped around the face but the only important detail is to keep the feet elevated. if he's doing well, don't forget to pop him one in the mouth for resisting. then before you go home tie him up in a stress position by a florescent light, jam a tube down his throat, and leave him with nothing but drowning pool's hit single "let the bodies hit the floor" at 100 decibels.
