Truly it was quite a coincidence. I just happened to see it on late night and watched the last 1 1/2 hours of it the last time several weeks back.

No, I've seen it probably 4 times. Great movie.

For real? What a coincidence!

Was it for the first time ever?

I haven't seen it in probably a dozen years at least.

Frozen - Blood Test

lucky760 says...

Wait a second- what's wrong with the actual Frozen?

Have you seen it? From your libelous words, it seems you haven't, but you're missing out. It's a pretty great movie, especially for being made by Disney.

Now that's a Frozen i'd watch. None of that silly singing and lots of bloody violence. I'm in! *promote

true romance-gary oldman and his iconic character drexl

Grimm says...

This is a great movie. Slater is the star and the glue that holds this movie together....but it's filled with some of the best scenes some of our greatest actors with rolls so small they are borderline cameo roles.

Samuel Jackson and Gary Oldman, this one with Slater and Oldman, Walken and Hopper, Brad Pitt and Gandolfini , Gandolfini and Arquette, Chris Penn and Tom Sizemore.

It didn't do well at the box office because they didn't know how to market the movie.

Calvary Trailer

ChaosEngine says...

Went to see it last night and I'm still mulling over what I think about it. It's undoubtedly a great movie, I'm just not sure that I like it.

I mean, the script is phenomenal, it's beautifully shot and Gleeson is amazing in it.

But there were a couple of things that just didn't sit right. Chris O'Dowd really can't do drama and Dylan Moran doing "Bernard Black becomes obscenely wealthy and turns into an arsehole" felt completely out of place. And I am absolutely mystified as to who told Aiden Gillen (the doctor) that accent was a good idea. It sounds like a parody.

In some ways, it felt like some kind of commentary on post-catholic Ireland. I haven't been home much in the last 10 years, but I don't remember that much open depravity in small town Ireland.

But still, I think its merits outweigh its faults, and the fact that I'm still thinking about it can only be a good thing.

Very cool movie magic - How did they do that?

Sarzy says...

I'm guessing that either the mirror was a green screen, and they managed to seamlessly combine the two shots, or the mirror was actually a glassless window to an identical room, and they added the second Jared Leto in post. Or maybe there's an invisible cut when the camera pans with the first Jared Leto, and when we see his back we're actually looking at another actor, and the real Jared Leto is standing behind the fake mirror. I dunno. It's pretty seamless.

Great movie, by the way. Really ambitious and super stylish (but not in an overbearing way).

Irish are the niggers of Europe? Reginald D Hunter

ChaosEngine says...

Well, a little context is in order here. I wonder if Reg even knows where this comes from. There was a very popular movie in Ireland called The Commitments, about a working class Dublin band who play soul music. (Great movie btw, I'd recommend anyone checking it out)

There's a scene where one of the musicians asks if they're not "a bit white" to play soul music. The manager responds that "The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once and say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud."

Everyone in Ireland over 20 will have either seen this movie or heard this quote.

Ireland has a really weird relationship with race. If you grew up in Ireland before the 2000s, you literally never saw anyone who wasn't white. Yes, literally. As such, Irish people will say casually racist things all the time. Sometimes, like anywhere, it's malicious, but most of the time, it's genuinely not meant as offensive.

One of the reasons I sifted this is that I actually went to see Reg this weekend. He was freaking hilarious, and in fact his entire message was explicitly stated to be one of unity.

I'm paraphrasing here, but his closing line was something like
"There is no black pain, or gay pain or female pain. There is only human pain, and when people do bad shit to other people, it hurts us all."

It's racist against both people of color AND Irish in my eyes.
You don't have to be offended for something to be racist. It only requires a differentiation by race (and not even necessarily a negative differentiation as I understand the term). You having the self control to not be upset by other people's racism (or in this case 'nationalism') is a good thing, but does not erase the racism, it only lessens it's effect.
In my opinion, calling anyone a 'nigger' (even yourself) is racist, no matter the intent and no matter the race of the speaker. The word itself is a racial insult.
I feel like calling an entire nationality any derogatory word is technically nationalist, but is intended to be racist as (in this instance) it's intention is to separate all Irish from other Europeans as a separate race in order to degrade the entire 'race' (nation).

WTF Happened to Movie Posters?

Jinx says...

When fans complained about the Bioshock Infinite box art Irrational decided to post some alternates to be voted on. This one won http://irrationalgames.com/insider/poll-winner-announced/

I feel like there is easily the capacity to make great artwork, but in this case they opted not to make it the default cover art because they were afraid Joe public wouldn't "get it" or something. It's typical risk aversion. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the budgets for these movie posters were actually greater than it has been in the past. I'd wager that some great movie posters are produced that we never get to see.

4 Rules to Make Star Wars Great Again

longde says...

I tend to favor Plinkett on this subject. When you have compelling characters and a well-told, focused story, you can break all four of these rules and still have a great movie.

I do like rule 4, though.

47 Ronin

00Scud00 says...

And disagreement is cool with me, I often disagree with people who like musicals but I can do so without being a jerk about it, I'm just not into them. An active imagination is often considered a sign of intelligence and higher thinking. I'm pretty sure creative minds like Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, just to name a few, are not lacking in the intelligence or comprehension departments. Gene Roddenberry could be responsible for god knows how many people going into the sciences, inspired to make the future, he imagined a reality.
Lincoln was great movie and I'd be all for seeing a movie based on the 47 Ronin that was more historically accurate, but that doesn't mean I can't also enjoy movies like Pacific Rim. As for 300, the movie was actually based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, which I doubt was ever intended to be a factual account of the event anyhow. Movies like this one are, for better or worse a product of market forces and the society we live in.

newtboy said:

Well, I guess we disagree. To me, the supernatural and magic are for those without the experience or intelligence to comprehend that they don't exist, or those that wish to live in a fantasy. To me, that mindset is infantile.
I feel that adding magic to a great historical story is like putting sugar on broccoli, it's done to make something good palatable to non-adults, but it ruins it for adults and destroys what was good about it in the first place. This is an adult story with adult themes and adult actions, it didn't need magic, dragons, or 'The One', and the additions only degrade and confuse the amazing facts.
Would you have liked to see a Muslim dragon guarding Osama in Dark Thirty? (I know, not a historically accurate film, I'm just making a point). Wouldn't you have found it out of place in a movie about our (recent) 'history'? How about if Lincoln had to fight a confederate dragon in Lincoln (not Lincoln vampire hunter)? I feel like that would have infantilized those stories, as it does to any factual story.
