how you look > how you act.

welcome to hollywood, it is why maybe 5 or 6 good movies come out from it a year, and the rest of the good stuff is independent/international.

Of course, names and looks brings the big bucks, and if i were a production company CEO or pres., i'd probably have no problem living with a few crappy movies under my belt for the cause of making some cash. The key word is "few". Doesnt change the fact that quality is too often sacrificed in that purpose. Audience is giving them right to act this way because that industry is forever successful even if its 90% crap coming out every year, just by ratio income/cost. I suggest that quality remains quality as it will bring people to the theater too. Gladiator was a really good movie, simple but good plot, made the bucks, got the awards. Yeah,it took some work, some money,time, thats called "investment". Somewhere somehow you have to take a risk and back it up. Philanthropic arguments will not cut it i know, profits will. Quality can cash in profits, and big time. Not necessarily talking about movies going into specific topics or deeper subjects that requires emotional involvement or overall understanding of the situation thats featured, but just something at the very least "innovative" in the way its presented or the story, just to show a bit of respect to the people not just "we are aware you'll spend your dough on this anyway, so we'll just make sure the actors speak english and looks good"

Pretty much the same argument can be applied to music. The sad thing is that those industries became what they are on quality and hardwork. 70's gave place to creation all around even with the unstable social environment. Now i feel we're "stalling"

This thread is great

My car locks are frozen so im stuck at home tonight! Go to hell car wash!

i have a garage and want to get my rave on, but there is nothing worth the money tonight so i am going to sit at home and masturbate to reruns of Good Times.

I like George Clooney. I think he does a good job. I haven't seen him have to try all that hard with any roles, but I think he comes across well in the movies I've caught him in. Up in the Air is one of my fav's of '09.

I think I'm one of the only people that didn't like The Departed.

Don't wash your car when it's below freezing.

Unless you have a garage.

I hate the vampire movement. I applaud the guy though who made it romantic to get bitten by vampires, as technically im still trying to figure out how they could have boners if their hearts stopped (i presume their heart stopped, if it doesnt, issue solved)

dilated arteries by hormones could be a plausible solution. That reminds me of "mallrats" with the whole superman debate. Movie really worth checking out.

Penile rigor mortis.

I really like Clooney, especially in From Dusk Till Dawn. Watched it last night again and the shit Clooney sais is hilarious sometimes.

BTW WD40 sparyed on your key and some twisting left and right works like a charm! The car is unlocked and warming up!

Yeah, I noticed that I can't delete posts in this forum, but in others I can. I wonder if that's intentional, and if so can it be changed?

I think Malek wants us to suffer if we write emberassing stuff and decide to try and delete it after.

Oh man thats instant clasic right there.

im a Arnold hoe big time

Just finished Young And Dangerous. Good movie, nothing havent seen before but its definately worth watching. Thinking of watching the second one now.

Originally posted by Johnny Jon That i know i think "The Departed" covers elements of all three "infernal affairs" movies, but i cant confirm since i havent seen The Departed and say this based on what people told me as i held my ground of "asian original versions is da sh*t". I'd compare it to "watching star trek movies vs watching star trek the serie". You can watch star trek movies without being a "trekkie". If you are the "trekkie" type, watch the entire serie first as the asian serie goes into details, work the historic, lets the characters develop and even change, and i think the three of them cover a crap load of years. I have trouble thinking that "The Departed" went into details as deeply, although im sure Scorcese and his team insured that the necessary stuff was there. Maybe it'd be best for "MediumCoke" to answer you hehe, my two cents on this subject.

man it's been so long ago that I've seen Infernal Affairs 1, 2, 3, I can't really remember hehe. But I'll tell you something about HK movies. They'll go into such depth in terms of character development, it blows my mind. I mean, they'll make sequels and a part 3 and a part 4 to further explore characters and their pasts. 10 years ago, I'd say this is a waste of resources and they shouldn't have made those movies. Fast track to today, I think it's genius! These days, nothing gets me more into a movie than the amount of detail and effort that is put into it.

You're right. It's nothing the average HK movie fan hasn't seen before but later installments of Young & Dangerous explore interesting social issues that were relevant at the time of their release like HK's delivery to Mainland China, corruption in Taiwanese politics. That character "Chicken" flees to Taiwan, they explore his adventures in Taiwan in one of the Y&D. That's the kind of detail I was talking about. It just riles me up big time.

Mine is vampire Salma Hayek says: Welcome to slavery and George Clooney replies "No thanks, I already have a wife." HAHAHA Another moment of Robert Rodriguez gold is in Planet Terror when they finally give El Wray guns akimbo...damn funny moment



BTW, The Road = fuckin wow

Keep your eyes open for The Crazies coming out soon, the remake of the George A. Romero classic.

Finished Young And Dangerous 3 last night. Not as good as the first two but I think ill finish the series anyway. Number 3 was funny as hell because the bad guy was a chinese guy from Holland that looks/talks/acts exactly like Bruno.

Originally posted by Johnny Jon I have admit, three kings was good. Am i the only one who thinks George Clooney is overrated? Except maybe for Syriana

he was very good in Burn After Reading. I personally think Brad Pitt is overrated but he is box office and is casted in some very good movies.

Next month looks to be a good one for couch potatoes/bored. 2010 Olympics.... looking forward to watching some events and to rid of all the excessive pre Olympic hype you see everywhere.

Fantastic Mr Fox was amazing! Has anyone else seen this yet?

The Men Who Stare at Goats is a pretty good movie with Clooney. Up In The Air was alright but nothing special.

i listen to beats + video games

Yeah; very good film. Interesting to see how the usual Wes Anderson style-ism carries over to stop motion...
