Re: new/rented movies: DEVASTATOR!!!!!

I can't reach that link at work, but is that an actual, non-parody Bad Lieutenant sequel? Somewhere, Crow T. Robot is happy tonight. :D

It's directed by Werner Herzog and he likens it to all the James Bond movies...not a remake, not really a sequel, just another story.
 
Re: new/rented movies: DEVASTATOR!!!!!

It's not saying much but GI Joe was better than Transformers 2. Still pretty god-awful though.

Did you miss Sienna Miller in the Baroness' outfit?:eek: :D :cool:

In all seriousness though, I know what you mean. Both storylines are ridiculous and there is some cheesy forced acting but overall when i go into a movie, I want to be "entertained". I was by both of these movies regardless of the plot holes etc.

They got off to great starts with Sienna Miller and Megan Fox though. Any movie with either of those can do no worse than a B-:D

GI Joe was crap. At leasrt TF2 was what it was supposed to be - bad overall or not. Joe was complete cheese disguised as something more, with horrible acting throughout to boot.

I swear to Parise, I was pumped for the GI Joe movie when I saw the promo-standup display at the theater when I saw Public Enemies.......then I saw a Wayans brother was in it, and about a million red flags went up. :o

Also watched "Edgeplay: A Film About The Runaways"

*ing excellent documentary (directed by Vicky Blue, former member of the Runaways). Pretty much a home video, which translates into all the crap that VH1 SHOULD have in their "Behind The Music" episodes.

Unfortunately, Joan Jett had refused permission to use any Runaways music in the film, and did not participate in the filming. However, everyone else is here, and there's some stuff that is unreal. Even while they hold back they still tell some details you won't hear on a normal Hollywood doc/tv doc. Example: Lita Ford flat-out said, "I'm trying to bite my tongue here, but I got a lot of sh* on them, and they got a lot of sh* on me......" but still continues to dish stuff on other members (and don't worry, other members return the favor).

Some parts were kind of rough to watch, as most of bands' troubles on regular shows are sanitized/edited heavily. Not here. There are times when member shed a tear, and a couple times where Blue flat out says, "Ok, we'll break here...." because the story is too raw, too emotional.

I HIGHLY recommend this, even if you don't really care too much about the Runaways, if only because many bands go through this kind of stuff, and it's here you can really see how it affects them.

You've never seen American History X?????

Prepare to look at yourself in a different way, and probably feel really bad about yourself/guilty at times. The dinner scene is a key time. :o I felt sick to my stomach, because one of the views expressed actually made sense, even though it was mostly wrong.

Yes, the half Jewish girl is going to feel bad about some rant by the white supremacist.

I'm only talking the dinner scene. Scarily, he makes SOME points, but his views obviously skew it to the extreme and make it bad. It's those basic points that make sense (whited out to not spoil it; ewe, make note of this and don't quote/highlight):

Where he's saying that if Rodney King had wiped out a couple of kids while high/etc, the same people crying "racist cops" would be villifying King. But since King didn't do that, they are excusing his state of mentality/coherence because some cops used excessive force (arguably, according to the verdicts, right or wrong)

Also how he calls out their looting as plain old looting and doesn't buy any of the crap excuses.
