Great movie. Being a not-so-talented old school arcade guy, that movie really blew me away.

Geez and I thought it was impressive when a guy I knew got the top score on Galaga at my old job...

Billy Mitchell and his little cadre should all be assassinated. When he showed up for "Dodge City" and Steve said hello and he just walked by and said "There are some people I would rather not spend too much time around" and then ducked him when he showed up at Billys restaurant I wanted to reach through my computer and choke the living daylights out of him!

The end is great though...Seth Gordon and everyone involved in this film should get every award possible...one of the best documentaries I have ever seen!

Pineapple Express:

I thought it was supposed to be a comedy. Guess I was wrong. And I usually like Seth Rogen.

Honestly, if you haven't seen it, I wouldn't bother.

I watched one scene...my buddy said it would convince me to watch the rest...as I said I watched one scene!

I just watched Harvard Beat Yale 29-29...it was ok, rather boring to be honest until the last 10 minutes. The interviews were kinda lame and sometimes seemed to have nothing to do with any of the footage they showed. Plus Tommy Lee Jones seemed like he was bored talking about it, he showed no emotion whatsoever even when he talked about walking back to the lockerroom for the first time.

Maybe it is because I don't much care about Harvard or Yale, or the fact that the game in reality meant nothing since it was the last game of the season for both teams but I never really got into it.

I guess I liked the old footage. I think the non-football stuff was to show how a team puts aside their differences (especially in that era of war and politics) to function as one. I mean, there was really no in-between back then; look at all the protests and such.

And when does Tommy Lee Jones ever show emotion? ;)
 
Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

The footage was fine I enjoyed that...there was too little of that and too much of the BS about Doonsebury and the war. That stuff should have been like 5 minutes but it seemed to go on FOREVER! And I know that is is cool that Dubya and Gore went to the respective schools but if you arent going to interview them or get quotes from them is it really necessary? I mean at least they had pictures of Meryl Streep and the story had relevance ya know? But hey we got that scintillating story of Gore playing dixie on the push button phone thanks Tommy Lee Jones!

Of the documentaries I have watched of late this rates about 3 stars out of 5. (the AFL one made by HBO is still one of my faves along with the ESPN USFL one)

Well, there is one exception that I can think of: "Natural Born Killers." He was an emotional mess in that one, and it was great:

Edit: Handy: I agree on a 3 out of 5 rating for Harvard/Yale.

Jones showed lots of emotions in Under Siege...he had to since Seagal cant act :p

I know what you two don't do if you didn't like Pineapple Express.

Well then, Mr Science Guy, explain how I like movies like "The Stoned Age" and "Dude, Where's My Car?" as well as "Harold And Kumar" (the first one, haven't seen the second one). :p

The Stoned Age ruled! Dude Wheres My Car sucked and Harold and Kumar was ok...the second one blew.

Pineapple Express was terrible, I mean TERRIBLE! It was everything I hate about Seth Rogan and none of what I like about him. Hell JOE ROGAN would have been more enjoyable than that movie! :eek:
 
Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

Halfway through "In the Loop," and so far it's one of the coldest, darkest, funniest comedies I've ever seen. Also amazingly accurate -- I've met each character in DC dozens of times.

I must have had an extremely powerful Lunesta reaction last night. My house was full of 19 year olds watching "Transformers" (don't ask) and (1) I enjoyed it, and (2) I thought Megan Fox was cuter than the ordinary YDFC boobs on a stick. Drugs are the only explanation, but fun is fun.

I am going to repeat the experiment with Transformers 2.
 
Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

Watched Dirty Harry and Year One over the weekend.

Dirty Harry was freaking awesome - never seen it begining to end before. Was a lot better than most cop movies these days; more suspense/detective work, less absurd fight scenes (characters actually got hurt after a punch or a gunshot).

Year One greatly exceeded expectations. I laughed my *** off at parts of it. A few groan-inducing gross-out scenes, but a lot of it was just plain funny.

You've obviously never seen his new "reality TV" cop show on A&E. :rolleyes: ;)

Only when they mock it on The Soup ;) :D

Dirty Hairy is fantastic...over about a week and a half I watched all of them through Netflix and beyond Dead Pool (with co-stars Liam Neeson and James Carrey) I liked them all. Magnum Force would be #2 on my list :)

I couldnt sleep so I watched Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist instantly through Netflix...it was pretty good even though Michael Cera seriously is a one trick pony. there was brief scenes though where he would stop being Michael Cera and that was the best acting he has ever done! The movie is cute even though it is very cliched.
