I guess I can ask this here, but is the 3 disc edition of Brazil worth the extra 30 bucks or is the standard criterion good enough? I do enjoy extras and commentaries but are they worth the additional cost?

That depends on how much you want to know about Brazil, of course. The "Love Conquers All" version is something to watch once (with commentary) and never touch again. "The Battle for Brazil" is very interesting. However, the single-disc version has a Gilliam commentary that'll tell you pretty much everything you'd want to know.

Alright, thanks a bunch.

Help! In the version of Pixar's Up that I watched, all the text was in Russian. Can someone tell me what Ellie's adventure book says on the cover, and in big letters in one of the middle pages? I found out what the little written note in it says, but I can't find the rest.

I'm pretty sure it's says "My Adventure Book" and while I can't remember the exact wording the page in the middle says something like "Thing's I'm going to do".

Unfortunately none of the video games that WOULD make for good movie adaptations will ever be done, because the games aren't wildly popular enough. Hollywood has forgotten that just making a good movie with a good story gets as many people in the seats as making a poo poo movie for an established fanbase.

They're trying to make a Bioshock movie.

I think you're missing what I was pointing out. Contrary to what MANIFEST DESTINY said, a studio is trying to make an adaption of a game that would make a good movie and that's because of its wide success. It's not as if they're handing Verbinski a copy of Velvet Assassin and saying "Hey you did good with those pirate movies, make something from this!"

I don't think they were playing any joke, he was drinking real beer from the start and the vomiting is real too. One of the outtakes is a bunch of unused footage of Kevin Heffernan throwing up. It's also mentioned in the commentary that when Steve Lemme, who plays Mac, takes the four shots at the beginning that he's drinking real liquor.

They did various takes of the syrup chugging, also. Once with real syrup too.

e: I watched that movie way too much because I haven't seen it in years and probably twice that since I've listened to the commentary but I remembered all that all right away.

I'd be willing to bet that the average American hasn't seen a lot of classic American movies. If you're not interested in film beyond the superficial level I don't see anyone making the effort to spend the time watching movies that came out 60 years ago.

The IMAX at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey is also one of those recline back/domed ceiling ones and I've gotten that same vertigo feeling when they show aerial shots of stuff too. It was intense enough that I can still remember how I felt sitting there telling my brain that I wasn't going to fall into the ceiling and I haven't been there in probably a decade.

Who isn't sure, the movie or twistedmentat?

Actually there wasn't even a question in that post now that I reread it. I've always enjoyed the movie because I viewed it as a commentary on the action films that Arnold was making up to (and past) that point and as linked above sometimes it's just funny by itself.

Danny Devito as a talking animated detective cat who saves the day, what's not to love?

Isn't it common to have someone on fire walking/moving to direct the heat from the flames away from them?

While watching Stagecoach for the first time a year or so ago it dawned on me that those stunts are all practical and how much that changes the tension. I know no one is going to slip between those horses and get crushed but man, it could happen and there's no CGI or model work involved.

OK, does anyone know what quote this is from? Google fails me:

"We're gonna get you a lawyer. A good lawyer. A JEW lawyer."

I swear it's from like Casino or something, but my boss and I say it all the time and can't remember what it's from.

You could be misremembering a quote from Snatch where Avi, the American mob boss, tells his muscle that they're going to bring him to a good Jew doctor while they're driving in a car. I think his nose is broken or his hand is busted, its been a while since I've seen the movie.

There's a lot of history behind the action figure and character which I think explains the reason why he was so popular.
