I actually saw two good movies….
I haven’t been to a movie theater in about eight months because last year it seemed like every movie I went to totally sucked balls. And I can’t afford to drop $10 and up for ball suckage. It’s called netflix, maybe you’ve heard of it? So yeah, I had lost faith in going to the theater. Well I’ve already seen two good flicks this year, so I guess I’ve got the faith back a little. Either that or I just pick better movies now.
Yesterday I saw "Pan’s Labyrinth" and it was surprisingly good. I got dragged to it and figured it was going to be some Harry Potter bullshit for kids but it was totally entertaining and super violent so I’m positive it’s made for adults. I also highly recommend seeing "Children Of Men", one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. Pretty cool soundtrack too (Deep Purple, Donovan, King Crimson, Jarvis and John Lennon) aside from the lame songs by The Kills and The libertines, I didn’t need to hear those. Check out the trailers for both movies as well as a clip from the British TV show Bo’ Selecta! The British may have shitty teeth, weather and food but they’ve got way better music and TV. Dave Clifford linked me to that and I figured seeing as how he’s too busy blowing guys to post here anymore, I would. Thanks Dave. Oh, make sure you watch the Bo’ Selecta! clip til the very end… there’s a pay off.
Children Of Men

I wondered if you guys got Bo’ over there, obviously you’ve got the ‘in the USA’ one at least. The Michael Jackson bit never, ever gets old.

Yeah, I agree, those are two really good movies, better than most that I’ve seen in a while. The new David Lynch film was really interesting too. Laura Dern is awesome in it, and the plot (or lack thereof) runs like a fever dream. If you got 3 hours to kill, go check it out.

oh yeah, and check out bobanddavid.com … Bob Odenkirk just updated his “Thingy”, and he makes a pretty funny joke out of the evil creature from Pan’s Labyrinth…

these are the two best movies that came out last year… children of men just barely edges out pan’s labyrinth in my book. now go see “the departed”, its fucking killer. what i want to know is how marky mark became such a good actor. he got nominated for an oscar, and i shit you not, he buries every other actor in this film (including jack nicholson)!

wow…what the fuck just happened? that jenny mcarthy thing…im speechless, for once….

Yes - Pan’s Labyrinth reminded me of all the good things about movie-going. Not quite what I expected but wonderful.
(And enough with the teeth jibes!!)

Children of Men was a real yawn fest. I don’t see why it’s getting all the hoopla. Sure there were some cool action scenes near the end of the movie, but the ending sucked and the plot was convoluted and pretty far fetched. Now the Departed, that’s a movie! Hopefully Scorsese will finally get an Oscar for all the badass movies he’s made including this one. I also highly recommend Little Miss Sunshine. That movie is a fucking riot, and well made as well. Consider yourselves schooled.

who comes up with movie titles? who thought “Little Miss Sunshine” sounded like a winner? the same genius who vetted “Million Dollar Baby”? now The Departed, that is a good name for a movie. at the ticket counter i can say “two for The Departed” and not feel like a total gaywad.
marky mark was the only reason i agreed to see Invincible, and he didn’t disappoint there either.

Pan’s Labyrinth ~ Has to have one of the most hate-able bad guys I’ve seen in a long time, as well as that creepy eyeless thingy. Hope this wins something, it’s got so many levels and is so well done.
