He's been in plenty of other highly respectable movies
(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0654110/), including "Croupier", "Gosford
Park" (which was nominated for Best Picture for the Academy Award,
btw), and recently "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" (highly acclaimed by
critics :: http://www.paramountclassics.com/illsleep/index2.html ).

...perhaps you're just not appreciating a good drama when you watch his
films. Or I'm probably correct to say that you've never seen any
of his other films.



I never said the movies he's in were bad, I said HE is bad. There's a huge difference.

Orph, yet it is, since some of the episodes you have are no doubt DVD rips. [addsig]

as i said I DO NOT consider it piracy, i did not say it was not piracy.

DVD rip? not likely since its only hours old when i receive it.

it came via dish,cable or aerial crono.

[edit] i have been waiting months for the TNT movie "The Librarian" to air.. its on tonight guys if you were wanting to see it as well.

God, that thing looks terrible.

And, when you said, "It's worth the wait" I figured you meant for retail copies. Since, waiting a day or so isn't really a big deal. [addsig]

Dawn of the Dead (2004) was one of those movies that you didn't think much about it but when you actually see it your like "wow that was an awesome movie". I almost never go out to the movie theatres but I happened to go see DOTD in the theatre when I was super bored and there weren't any other good movies to go see at the time. I really liked the part where the redneck was on the rooftop target practicing with the zombies. That was hilarious.

The director's cut is much more awesome. More zombies and zombie killing. [addsig]

Return of the king Extended Edition is very, very, very long. 4 hours long, to be precise. I still plan to watch all 3 in a row at some point, though it may kill me.

I liked the Librarian. The cinematics were not the greatest but with the limited budget, I think they did well. And I am glad to see Noah Wyle on another role besides in ER. He deserves to move up in the acting world, because he is a good actor.

"Maria Full of Grace" is a sobering tale about a young and rebellious Columbian girl who aged beyond her seventeen years in a course of five days. She was steadfast in the face of adversity, but the harrowing story can make even the most calloused audience quake at heart.

It's a movie worth watching, for anyone from any country. It is in Spanish, with English subtitle. But I didn't feel impeded in anyway by the language barrier. It's out on DVD already in the States.

I've done this three times now, once without toilet breaks in fact! I was very, very cabbaged at the time, though...

It doesn't actually help with the continuity of the plot for me, it still just seems like three different films one after the other. And yet I still do it, dems 3 good films. Every time I watch the films Legolas' lines make me cringe. He's the only character that irrates me in the film version.

I never got the extended editions, I should have held out for a while. What a shameless way to rip people off. I'll prolly still buy it though.

The extended editions are so much better then the theatrical cuts. I don't consider then Theatrical cuts versions of the films anymore.

This might interest you, Mephs. It's about $100 (US) which is a decent deal taking that each one separately is about $40 to $50 (US)

By the way, they said an extended edition was coming out a few months after the theatrical cut when they released fellowship of the ring ... [addsig]

No, I have never gotten paid for my writing. My writing isn't really worth anything. In fact, I am reading "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides currently, and this author never stopped astonishing me with his writing skill. Compared to him, I write like a retarded toddler with cerebral palsy.

Highlight:
He's Dead, duh.

I saw Blade: Trinity last night. It's an amalgam of the other two movies. I am definitely impressed by Goyer's command of the camera and his actors. This is by far the most well made (visually) Blade movie. The story is just sparse because Blade is no longer the focus of the film, like in the other two. In that sense, it doesn't feel like the other two films. There are a few secondary characters I didn't give two s**ts about. It basically has the "Mexico Effect", as I call it. In Once Upon a Time in Mexico there are so many new awesome characters that you really don't care what happens to any one person. Not saying 'Mexico' is bad, I love that movie, but it IS just a fun movie to watch. Trinity is the same just with less characters.

Trinity also, finally, strays from the same three act structure the other two movies have (except Act I, it's fairly the same).

If you liked Blade and Blade II, more so Blade II, then you'll like Blade: Trinity. [addsig]
