Movies: Summer 2004

In the SST forum, users are free to discuss philosophy, music, art, religion, sock colour, whatever. It's a haven from the madness of Bulldrek; alternately intellectual and mundane, this is where the controversy takes place.

And if they fuck it up, me and everyone here re going to Hollywood, to KILL BURN and DESTROY whomever fucked one of the best ideas ever.
That would be Troy Duffy - he can't fuck the idea up because it's his.

Basically, the BDS and Il Duce go back to Ireland, but when some murderers in Boston start mackin' on the BDS style and framing them for murders (evidently, they're hitting the innocent...I guess), the BDS and Il Duce go back to America to kick some unholy ass.

I'm not sure if this film has been mentioned already, but I'm looking forward to Immortel, one of the few French films I'm looking forward to, reminiscent of Luc Besson's Fifth Element.

FUBAR is almost always a good thing. I like fubared things, because I rarely know what's coming next--an increasingly rare treat.

Oh it definately looks weird. But also incredibly good as well. It's pretty high up on my must view list.

The sequal to The Bourne Identity. The Bourne Supremacy. July 23. I enjoyed the first one, I'll watch this one. Different director this time though, we will have to see how this one turns out.

I know this isn't a summer movie, and it makes me look bad to have read this review. Very un-mocho of me.

This part of the plot line caught my attention.
Apart from discovering that he's a conservative voter, she has to deal with a new boss, strange contractor, and the worst vacation of her life.
So being a conservative voter is automatically a "bad thing" in Hollywood? WTF? Of course the person writing the review could simply be a flaming liberal.

After having read the books, wasn't all that impressed with the film. The film itself was okay, just not as good as if you know what I mean. But then books usually do things like that better in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to the only movie I will likely see this summer - Spiderman 2. I love my parents, I love them good. They'll be driving about ten hours round trip to see us, watch the twins and let us go to a movie. They deserve mucho gratitude.

Then you might be in for a long wait, it seems that the European distributors are some legal spat with the production house. Don't ask me to found that, since I got this off a colleague who's really into the comics the movie is based on.

In some parts of the UK, it's pretty socially undesirable. Or so I'm told.

Ooh, looks watchable.

I'm hoping for something soon that's:
a) Controversial, and
b) Not a documentary

Not getting my hopes up, though.

Or Bridget Jones could be a "flaming liberal" and the man she loves (Mark) happens to be her opposite politically. Jeesh, it's not a Hollywood thing, it's a character/plot thing.

My summer time movie thoughts:

Movie I'll Like no matter what: Spiderman 2. they'd really have to screw the pooch to not get my buck. If I see one movie at the theater this summer, it will this one.

Movie that sounds just bad ass, but I won't see: The clearing starring William Dafoe and Rob Redford. I'll see this on video I think.

Most potential to suck: King Arthur. Hands down. Followed by I, Robot. I am pretty picky in both those genres. (Well really just the one, SciFi.)

Movie I want to hate but can't: Bourne Supremacy. Don't know why, I loved the first one, but this one just gets under my skin.(So far.)

Movie i'll wait to believe when I see it: Aliens V. Predator. When it really gets released I believe in it! Until then "Lalallalalalallaal"


Movie I won't tell any one i enjoyed: Princess Diaries 2.

Best Potential Horror flick: Exorcist the begining.

I'm expecting Aliens vs. Predator to be #1 on the suck list.
