Re: The Fifth Element

Hey man, I'm on your side.  Just wanted to suggest a change of venue.  I know when I went through school we were taught U.S. History, and World (read European) History.  I don't remember studying geography after grade school either.  Point is, just about everything I've learned regarding other cultures and their history (outside of studying German in high school) has been as a result of frustration at my own ignorance.  I sincerely hope kids these days are learning more about eastern cultures, especially given the world they are on the road to inheriting.  I have a 6 month old nephew and I joke with my sister about when she's getting him enrolled in Mandarin classes...well, half joke anyway.

...

So...how'd everybody like the wall to wall art in this episode?  Did it help anyone outside of Region 1 stay is sync?  That Luc Besson's something, hu?  I love Ian Holm.  Isn't Milla Jovovich talented? Gary Oldman's got such range.  I prefer Bruce Willis with hair, but I grew up on Die Hard.

I'm pretty sure whoever said "somethingese schoolgirls" wasn't me.

Dude, chill. I don't even know the difference between Irish and Scottish tartan and I don't
know what Uilleann pipes are, so you know more than me big_smile

My post was more of an aside rather than part of the debate. I agree with you, actually.

Re: The Fifth Element

I just introduced the wife to Down in Front. We watched The Fifth Element with the commentary. It is one of her favorite films, so I was relieved that the hosts for this show more or less liked it. For a movie that quite simply is what it is everyone managed to make it interesting. To enjoy this movie you pretty much have to let go and just go for the ride.

It is a little like Dog Soldiers in that respect. Once you see someone get in a punch up with a werewolf you pretty much know what kind of movie you're in for. Same here, only more Heavy Metal style.
