It's called The Simpsons Move, and they got away with our money.
 
Don't recall any badass racing scenes in that one. Recall very little of it really.

Pretty sweet little video from the On The Waterfront Criterion Collection DVD/BD about aspect ratios.

i was on board with Fast Five's mindless entertainment up until the very end when someone decided to start wiping boogers inside their physics text book and hoping the audience wouldn't notice.

For me, all traces of reality went right out the window when they flipped a bloody BUS of people and NONE died. Then, at the midpoint, they said they need a guy who blend in "anywhere"... so they call an Asian dude... into Rio. Ya just have to embrace the crazy. :lol:

Also, while both their careers have mostly failed to live up to Arnie's and Stallone's, the Diesel/The Rock throwdown is pretty epic, the Arnie vs. Sly fight of this generation... that the Arnie and Sly generation never actually got.

I liked that. It was like they let you know right away how crazy the movie will be.

There are a lot of Asians in South America.

^^ No killing allowed. Unless it involves ray guns, then it is okay.
 
I just watched Kissing Jessica Stein for the first time in over a decade and I could have sworn that it contained a scene with a performance artist shooting paint out of his ass onto a canvas, but it didn't. Does anybody know what movie this scene actually took place in?
 
i thought bruno contained something of the sort.

Definitely not Bruno that I'm thinking of. The movie I'm thinking of is older. Plus I can't stand Sasha Baron Cohen when he's doing one of his characters so I've never seen any of his character movies.
 
Well 2 Fast to make sense sucked all kinds of major ass, I gave up midway and took it back saying my dvd player wouldn't play it. Still like Tokyo Drift. Fast & Furious was a proper sequel to the first in the series with nothing lost by skipping the second, and I enjoyed it as much as the first film of the series. I liked Fast 5 but don't think it was quite as good as Fast & Furious. The upcoming one looks like fun, although I hear that they will be lowering the amount of street racing in this one (Probably cause street racing isn't something to be proud of, or look up to (I knew a guy in high school who got killed by street racers on his birthday while crossing the road to get a Pizza or something, I wont lie and say he was a friend because I didn't really like the guy but it was bullshit that that happened to him)) but I do worry it might lose some charm in the process because these are kind of escapist kinda films, break from reality and such, whatever.

...

I'm not sure that I liked Gone Baby Gone, I think something is wrong with that movie. Something about the twist doesn't feel right, it makes you think and that's good and all but I dunno, it's like (and I could be wrong here) it was telling the audience to sympathize with the bad guys and that seemed pretty fuckey to me, considering the subject matter.
 
saw park chan-wook's (or bak chanuk, for a more accurate romanization) stoker today. the cinematography and sound design blew my mind. there was something interesting about every scene.

i might not have been in the mood for such a cold and unpleasant story, but my visual cortex was treated to something subime.
 
before i went to see stoker, i avoided reading any reviews or seeing any trailers.

afterwards, i found this. purdy cool, if not a bit more frenetic than the actual movie.
