Czech bears like budvar and Pilsen are best in whole world!!!!
We Good Czech people in my country, we makes 100% best stuff!!!!
Czech bears? I didn't know that there were bears in the Czech republic or that they drank beer... but that could explain their aggressive behaviour. American bears of course are full of hot air cos they drink Millers, Schlitz or Budweisers.
:) You mean these type of beer drinking bears?...Quote:

Go to the Martin Beck Theatre and watch Katharine Hepburn run the gamut of emotions from A to B
Dorothy Parker's review of The Lake (1933). The irony is that Parker meant it as a joke as she liked Hepburn, but over-rated Hepburn's talent. I can't think of any other so-called 'actress' who appeared in films, other than Marilyn Monroe, who makes me feel so embarrassed when I see them -and luckily its on tv so I can switch over or off as soon as she appears. Its a pity we can't go through the prints and erase her from history. Parker, incidentally, died in a drunken stupor and left the residue of her estate to Martin Luther King (it was actually passed on to the NAACP).
Went to see Bridesmaids last night with my goddaughter.
Laughed ourselves silly. A really funny film with some wonderful dialogue and real roles for women.
At last - a romcom you wouldn't be ashamed to confess to watching.
Watching Season One of Louie. Funny show. Louis CK is always good.

I love Louie CK. Did you ever see his short lived HBO series? That was hysterical.
Bridesmaids. I know, I know. I know. Don't ask. It was better than I feared, but worse than I hoped.
Just read Robert Louis's remarks... well sorry i thought the vomit and shit scene was just OTT and the rest didn't make me laugh at all. The leading lady was cute though - but the denouement was way too sentimental.
Lonesome Dove....All frickin' day long!!!
Pink floyd the wall.....
one of best movies ever....
I just received the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine complete TV series on DVD. Seven seasons on 48 discs will take 4 to 6 weeks to watch even with marathons.

You must be a masochist then, or a man with a lot of time to kill, I mean, Star Trek!
Anyway here in the UK we had a choice of Miami Vice (Michael Mann) or Arlington Road -I was watching Miami Vice but the reception is poor where I live and I couldn't understand what most of the people were saying, but Arlington Road was so silly. Anyway I like Michael Mann as a director, his films always look good, I don't like the music but can see how it fits; I also think he has a skill at action/drama films, there is no fat, its all very tightly woven, although I believe he either chooses to or has had to re-edit films to make them shorter (eg The Keep). His initial Hanibal Lecktor film (Manhunter) is vastly superior to Silence of the Lambs, and Miami Vice is a film I will watch again on dvd just to se Gong Li...its anyway much better than the tv series except for the two actors who are dire -and I dont know why Americans hire people from the UK to play Americans, they rarely get the accent right and I am sure there are home-grown Americans who can do it.
Just watched jackass 3.5 not bad for a DVD release. Rip Ryan Dunn. For Michael Mann films you can't beat heat.
Come on Prospero, it's a romcom, not Bergman! :dancing:Quote:

Lucky Louie? Sure did. Everything Louis CK does is golden. I never miss him or Norm MacDonald when they're on Conan.Quote:

Yep - I agree Stavros re Bits being hire to play Americans. You say they rarely get the accent right, but the real issue is they think there is such a thing as "an American accent.' There are hundreds if not thousands of different regional accents there and most british actors offer a melange of all of them. I know NYC pretty well and in that city alone class and geography offer up a wide range of variations. The worst UK version of "an American" accent i ever heard though was on stage. Frances Barber in a revival of Night of The Iguana by Tennessee Williams. Her attempts at a Southern" accent sounded like something from The Goon Show.
Re Bridesmaids - sorry Robert louis - I did detect a difference between this and Bergman. Bergman is funnier.
Lucky Louie was great on HBO. My favorite show was when his wife asked Louie to look close at her asshole in case he ever had to ID her dead body. Then she sticks her ass up in his face and he just stares at it. I lost it.Quote:

All of the Star Trek series were great. We Americans love Star Trek. I have always been a Trekkie. I own the original series and all of the movies on BluRay HD. But my favorite was Deep Space Nine, and it hasn't been on TV for a while, so I bought it. DS9 was not your typical Star Trek. It was a novel written for TV. A story mostly about the people instead of the special effects.Quote:

"True Legend'...not bad...
Last night. Restrepo.

I realised when Terrence Malick won the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year that I had only seen one of his films, Badlands. So far he has only made five films, and as The Tree of Life will be released I think this week or next week (but in London probably) I bought all the available films and watched them twice, the one I can't get is Malick's short from 1969, Lanton Mills.
Malick's films are all beautiful to look at -a cynic might say so is National Geographic; but there are times, particularly in The Thin Red Line and The New World, when he has an ability to make you feel this is a world before humans, and there are times when one feels humans are making a mess of it, at other times lost in it, and again times when you feel nature is actually indifferent to people. Most of his films seem to focus on the limits of human behaviour, people who deliberately take themselves over the edge (Badlands, Days of Heaven), or who are driven there by circumstance (Thin Red Line, New World); and all but Days of Heaven are based on real events, although even Days of Heaven is historically specific and the moment before the Great War shapes its background. Malick's films need an essay, and this isn't it, but I look forward to The Tree of Life, although I expect it will disappear soon after its release, but will be on dvd.
Agree - tree of life is a must
Not as crazy and exploitative as I was expecting. Not bad.

Watched Frozen River which is somewhat reminiscent of Winter's Bone- excellent movie. And currently watching Days of Heaven which - aside from the cinematography and music score - isn't as impressive as I thought it would be. Maybe it's the Sam Shepard connection: his 'masterpiece' screenplay Paris, Texas was such a disappointment that I'm now prejudiced towards him.
Next will be Gods and Men.
