Well... she needs to get fixed up before she can fool the the camera into a flattering picture. Ok ok, i'll drop the 'hot' part. 2 out of 3's good enough for me.
Strap this on your ass, pal. I loved him in that movie and as a colour commentator with Gorilla Monsoon but that's about it. He couldn't theorize his way out of a paper bag. I happened to catch him on Larry King with Oliver Stone and he was a total nut job. Coincidentally or not, i think it was the next day that King announced his retirement.
This was like the 'talking over Teague drinking game'. You look at what Alvin Sargent wrote and you think 'why did people hire him' but he did the screenplay for Paper Moon, which if you haven't seen you really should, and won an oscar for Ordinary People, so that keeps your career going during the dry spells i guess.
Doc Ock's flabby shirtless trenchcoat was the dumbest supervillain look of all time. In the old animated Spider-Man, he'd sometimes fight crime at the north pole, i have no idea what he was swinging from.
What in the hell was all that hate for Kirstin Dunst! She's hot, has a great rack...
I'd heard the director's cut was a big improvement on the theatrical. I just watched it and enjoyed. Thanks for mentioning it.

please don't make me watch Kingdom of Heaven again... I've wasted 6 hours of my life on that film, and that's enough.
I had a hard time understanding the accents, especially at the beginning. And the dialogue was a little surface-y, or comic book-y but otherwise i thought it was great.
Someone talks about an iphone being much faster than anything seen in the movie or that was used to render the cgi.
Looks like an iphone does 3.5 mflops and a cray-1 (seen in the foreground briefly as they sneek through a computer room) did 136 mflops. So an iphone's about 40 times slower.
But keep in mind the cray was a frickin $8m supercomputer, the fastest in that room. Plus the cost of building a room with a raised floor, a UPS, an operator's salary and the power use of about 6 average US homes. And an iphone doesn't have a cool bench built into the case.
For comparison, modern desktop CPUs like an intel i7 920 are about 25,000 mflops.
It's a prequel of what happened in the Norwegian camp ( that just so happens to have Americans in it) It's still going to be called 'The Thing', which is a bit fucking pointless, if you ask me.
It might be a prequel but it looks like a shot for shot remake with Kurt Russell replaced by... Lucy McClane from Live Free or Die Hard? Wow, yeah that sounds really bad. But i'll wait till i see it before calling it crap. Not a lot of sf movie coming out these days.
Also, everyone knows the Alien prequels are dead, right?
Really enjoyed this one, wish i hadn't missed the live chat. I didn't think i could learn anything new about Star Wars but there was a ton. Rick James? David Fincher? Great enhancements too, the lovingly selected Carrie shots were appreciated.
For the Vader death thing: i always thought he didn't disappear, then Luke gave the body a respectful funeral (he was his father, and turned good at the end afterall), which "pleased the Force" or whatever, which in turn let him RIP and do the ghost thing.
For a guy who crashed his bike a few times with no helmet, i think Busey's doing pretty good for himself. Meatloaf? The impact he had in Fight Club plus all the music royalties and he still has to do stuff like this?
This is a business, not art, and too many mortgages are on the line to just sit back and wait for perfection.
I dared to argue that some movies aren't art in the Inglorious Basterds poll and was shot down like a Mitsubishi Zero. I'm glad to see you've come around.
*insert joke about Zarban's sexual confusion here*
Yeah a lot of cuties in 10, including Julie Andrews. And the leading man is... Dudley Moore? wtf? A great old school movie.
I'm not a huge Bond fan but i love when Connery, sitting in a chair shoots the traitor in cold blood then slowly takes the silencer off (Dr No?). I always liked Dalton, he could've been the best if the movies were better. The actual actors were all good come to think of it, with Brosnan at the bottom.
They always seem to be out of touch with the times or rebooting, why don't they just wait till a great script's ready instead of 'time to make another one, start writing!'
