Movies You've Watched This Week?

But I still love watching the Goonies. Of course if I’d never seen it before and were to watch it now I probably wouldn’t like it as much or at all, who knows.

Good thing I know nothing of this “snore-lax” you speak of.

Of course they’ll be into something at least as stupid and obnoxious, and you’ll have to take them to see “Stupid Shit for Children The Movie” or the “Stupid Shit for Children [i]on Ice”.

“Death Sentence”

Sucked for the most part. The only thing that kept me watching was Kevin Bacon. That guy is such a great actor, he turns a shit film into a watchable one.

I liked the action scenes in that movie, but they were few and far between. The saccharine scenes with his family were unbearable. The great thing about the original Death Wish is the family got bumped off in the first 15 minutes.

I watched Taken with Liam Neeson over the weekend - thought it was actually pretty good.

Step Brothers was in there too, again. I think that’s probably my favourite comedy of the year - I love it.

As long as he doesn’t get his junk out. He had a a bit of a problem with that a few years ago. Bacon’s sausage was the only thing keeping Wild Things from being the greatest movie ever made.

I could do without Kevin Bacon’s junk, or anyone else’s junk for that matter, making an appearance in any movie.

Less junk, more punch-dancing.

But never under any circumstances combine punch-dancing with junk.

Hey, I don’t mind a bit of junk or man ass in a movie… I sit through gratuitious tits and sometimes vag, its only fair.

No, that would be bad! On second thought, it is funny to see a movie where a guy gets hit in the junk, especially if he deserves it or is just a tool.

I suppose in the interest of being fair, I guess it’s okay from time to time. If I was a woman, I’d want to see more man-ass and junk in movies.

Yeah but Vader, the most recent man junk I saw in a film belonged to John Turturro. It’s like if you got to see boobies in a movie but they had to belong to Sandra Berhard or Roseanne. It hurt my feelings.

I just shuddered thinking about all of that. Worse part is that I’ve seen Sandra Bernhard’s boobies. It wasn’t pretty.

I now consider our retinas equally burned. By the way that movie with Turturro was called Box of Moonlight, afterall…forewarning is forebearing.

Junk aside and back on topic…

I watched a Japanese movie on demand at like 4am…called The Great Yokai War. Basically, it was an anime plot…alot of imagination, but set with real actors instead of cartoon. I watched the whole thing though waiting for what bizarre thing was around the next bend.

Zack and Miri make a Prono.

So funny

  • Note to self: Never EVER mention Kevin Bacon in this thread again*

Bound - I thought this was just okay. From what I had heard about it going in, I was expecting a lot more, especially with the lesbian stuff. That was over after like 20 minutes. Then the rest of the movie was one of those, steal the money, hide the body, then kill more people movies. I thought it was kind of funny that same guys that did the Matrix made this movie. I actually didn’t know that going in.

Fat Albert - What I thought might be a good TV parody, ended up being a really lame teen rom-com. It even had the typical trying on clothes montage and then the overly elaborate house party thrown by a teenager complete with a ‘spontaneous’, yet somehow perfectly choreographed, musical number. Blah…

What Alice Found - Hard to believe this movie was made in 2003. It has the production values and look of something filmed on a hand-held camera in the 80’s. The movie was mentioned earlier in this thread, when we were trying to figure out what movie this was. Basically it’s about some dumb girl basically gets picked up by a old couple that then talks her into being a prostitute at truck stops.

Mysterious Skin - Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of my favorite up and coming actors though. He really takes risks with the roles he does and seem to really get into them. I think that’s what made this movie weird, and too gay, for me. He makes out with dudes, plus there a lot of stuff about a creepy baseball coach that molests young boys. Then, there’s stuff about people thinking they were abducted by aliens. This movie was weird and all over the place.

I thought Mysterious Skin was really intense. It definitely went ballistic on uncomfortable topics, I mean like a bull in a china shop…seriously wince-worthy. It’s just I found myself still really appreciating the movie somehow. I think perhaps it was just…brave. Plus they actually played the Cocteau Twins in the soundtrack, that counts for a smidgeon if you’re me.

When it first came out, “lesbian stuff” was a lot more rare, new, exciting, whatever. It’s a lot more mainstream today than it was in mid-90s. My boyfriend at the time just about shit himself he thought it was so incredibly hot.

I actually rented it based on your recommendation. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t think it was bad, but just the subject matter creeped me out a little too much. Like you said, wince-worthy. I guess if you look at it that way, it was a good movie just based on the emotional response I got from it.

I Watch pumping iron about three times a week. Then any john wayne movie if i have time.

I posted this in my training log, but if you didn’t know already (or even care), Tropic Thunder came out on DVD today.

If you buy the Blu-Ray at Best Buy, then it comes with a Booty Sweat t-shirt. I’m going to wear mine with pride.
