Be Right Back, Uninstalling

Supernatural is fun, but the earlier seasons are better than the older ones in my opinion.

The Witches of Eastwick was fucking terrible.

Silver Linings Playbook was rather good.

I watched Timecrimes. It's about time travel and things. It's sort of neat, but all it has going for it is how its timeline is constructed. So if you end up figuring things out fairly early and can predict the general structure for the movie, it becomes pretty meh. It's the sort of movie that will confuse people who aren't focused movie watchers and end up boring those who are really into analyzing shit as it happens.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a boss

Quote:http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/2013-g...201237591.html


Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand while the cameras were rolling on the set of "Django Unchained" and kept moving through the scene, never breaking character. His real-life bloodied hand made it into the final version of the film, The Weinstein Company has confirmed with Yahoo! Movies.
It is this type of dedication that helped earn the 38-year-old actor a Golden Globe nomination and Oscar buzz for playing an evil slave plantation owner.
SPOILER ALERT: DiCaprio's hand injury happened during one of the movie's most climactic scenes -- as Calvin Candie (DiCaprio) confronts Django (Jamie Foxx) and Dr. Shultz (Christoph Waltz). Candie has learned the pair have been pulling an elaborate scam on him in order to retrieve Django's wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), a slave on his vast Mississippi plantation.

The ruthless and powerful Candie, who has a disturbing thirst for bloodsport, is angered to the core when he realizes welcomed guests of his estate have plotted against him. As the scene plays out, Candie slams his hand on a dining room table. It was during one take of that scene when DiCaprio unintentionally slammed his hand into glass, creating a gash that later required medical care.
But that didn't stop him from doing his job. As his hand bled quite visibly, DiCaprio kept going, even using the hand as a new dramatic prop. At one point he smears his bloodied hand over Broomhilda's face in an act of evil dominance. And Broomhilda (Washington) looks horrified as he does it. (Perhaps Washington wasn't acting!) And that was the take that director Quentin Tarantino kept in the film.
"Leo had slammed his hand on the table countless times and he moved his hand further and he crushed a crystal cordial glass," "Django" producer Stacey Sher also recently told Variety. "Blood was dripping down his hand. He never broke character. He kept going. He was in such a zone. It was very intense. He required stitches."

DiCaprio and Tarantino were creative collaborators on the film to the extent that Tarantino used research provided by the "Titanic" actor. DiCaprio found a book on phrenology, a racist pseudo-science of the era, according to Variety, and it inspired pieces of Tarantino's script. "Their collaboration raised the stakes and made for an exciting atmosphere on set," Sher said.
Very short flashes of the scene wherein DiCaprio bloodies his hand can be spotted with a careful eye in many of the "Django" trailers that have been released -- but his actual bloody hand isn't made visible in them. You'll just have to watch the film to see it for yourself.

Yeah, I thought so! There was a real split second of very real shock on his face when he slammed his hand on the table..

You have to give Kerry Washington props for letting real blood get wiped on her face too.

The blood Kerry Washington got smeared with wasn't real, that was a later take. DiCaprio cut his hand and went through the rest of that take with it bleeding, but they fixed it up almost immediately and applied fake blood for continuity. Smearing real blood (with or without permission) on someone's face could get you in some serious trouble with safety laws.

J.J. Abrams to direct Star Wars.

I suppose that Redlettermedia weren't the only ones to see it as a good fit.

If he lets Micheal Bay within 100 miles of that set, someone should shoot both of them.

I would rather see someone else handle the Star Trek franchise.

Oh, and in case it ever happens, I'm going to go ahead and say that there will be a Star Trek and Star Wars crossover movie where the Star Trek people travel into a galaxy far far away and meet Jedi. And then J.J. Abrams was actually George Lukas all along.

Ace Attorney was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, although it might be hard to follow for people unfamiliar with the game.

[/quote]I would pay to see this movie. I'm not even kidding. Star Wars AND Star Trek fans in the same theatre, watching a movie where Jedis meet the Star Trek characters?

Either they would become best friends really quickly, or there would be a glorious fight to the death amongst everyone.

I watched Fight Club for the first time ever last night. I enjoyed the movie and it's easy to see why it's a pop culture icon.

Just saw Silver Linings Playbook, amazing movie. Going to see Gangster Squad tomorrow. (they're the $5 movies this week at my local theatre)

I have not. Perhaps it will be watched soon or something.

Saw Memento. I groaned internally at the first scene and already had the movie outlined in my head. I knew how it was going to be structured, and I knew what sort of "twists" were going to be put in there. Consequently, the first 3/4 of the movie felt very long and slow to me. This was amplified by the repetition and overlap of each scene. Yeah, keep cutting back to another scene, but where's the not so twisty twist. Ah, yes, here come the not so twisty twists. Nicely done, neatly packaged. I do appreciate the fact that the movie is self contained and that it is clever at a conceptual level.

I can see why this movie is another icon and I can appreciate that it's well made and relatively unique, but I was ultimately bored by the ride. I find this movie experience very similar to the one I had with Timecrimes, though I did get more enjoyment out of Memento overall.

Long story short, don't give me movies that follow a set of rules established within the first few minutes of the movie. They will get figured out very quickly and I will be bored.

You should see The Usual Suspects... or Dead or Alive (not to be confused with Dead Alive or DOAead or Alive)

the dead or alive movie based on the videogame is a masterpiece of film and should be regarded as such
