Hey Bart! Pearl Harbor is not a war movie but just a love story with a war in the background. Ah, yeah, thanks - but why the hell did they have to call it "Pearl Harbor", then? If they went with a more appropriate "I'm missing my love and there's bombs all around" I'd have skipped it and saved my money, wouldn't I? |

What else are they doing at California Adventures? It ain't catering to tourists... |

Guess what Movie Pollice?
Haha.
I finally watched Shawshank Redemption. And tunneled my way out of Movie Prison, through a pipe of fecal matter (very gross), and now I'm chilling in Mexico.
Not really. But I finally watched that movie, and it was really good. I can see why it's on the top 250 or whatever. Anyways, what was the other movie I hadn't seen...?

At the suggestion of Livingdeadgirl (Equilibrium Thread), I am turning myself over to the movie police:
I have seen Young Frankenstein.
I have seen History of the World Part 1.
I have seen Spaceballs.
I have even seen Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
However...
I have never seen, uncut or all the way through:
Blazing Saddles.
Let me have it.

Personally, from that list, I think only YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and BLAZING SADDLES are Movie Police worthy. The rest, especially ROBIN HOOD, not really. Maybe, the Jr. Movie Patrol, but not the Movie Police. But by all means, man, see BLAZING SADDLES!  |

At the suggestion of Livingdeadgirl (Equilibrium Thread), I am turning myself over to the movie police: Wow, Q actually took one of my suggestions. ;D I agree w/ Heineken, YF & BS are the only ones worth dragging the Movie Police outta the doughnut shop for. Leave the others to the rent-a-cops. |

My first-time movies over the past week:
Jerry Maguire (1996) - Cameron Crowe, one of the few people to get the sentimental comedy right. Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT.
Field of Dreams (1989) - By all rights, I should have seen this YEARS ago. But instead, I just watched it last night. That was one powerful film.
About a Boy (2002) - How did I almost let THIS gem get by me? What a great movie. Vastly superior to the directors' following film, In Good Company (which was also pretty damn good).
I'm also borrowing Traffic (2000) from my friend, and will be watching that today.

This week's entry (Just got a membership at two video stores after getting my belated driver's license, so I'll be seeing more movies now):
Traffic (2000) - Excellent movie no doubt, but very overrated. I can see why Soderbergh won the Oscar for it, there were classic moments in the movie, but overall, it was difficult to get into. I really liked it, though.
Jaws (1975) - How the Hell was I missing THIS titan? Especially since I consider myself a very big Spielberg fan, how could I have not seen this movie before last week? I've seen it twice since I bought it, though. Then I watched the two-hour making-of documentary which blew my mind. Excellent filmmaking, and I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not having seen it sooner.
Equilibrium (2002) - I know in THIS board at least, this movie is Movie Police-worthy. I can see why, too. I mean, very few sci-fis out there have this one's imagination. It was like Philip K. Dick meets the Wachowski bros... I still prefer the Matrix though.
Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) - Another Spielberg gem I've been missing out on. What little respect I had for the Day After Tomorrow is lost, because Spielberg did it FIRST, and Spielberg did it BETTER. This had some of the greatest visual effects I've ever seen, WITHOUT the fake-looking CGI timberwolves. It was a beautiful movie with the childish heart of E.T. and the adult seriousness of Schindler's List. Loved it.

Fargo (1996) - Thus far, the best Coen Bros. movie I've seen yet (the others being the Big Lebowski, the Man Who Wasn't There, and O Brother Where Art Thou). An excellent dark comedy that I've been missing out on all these years.
Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) - Easily one of the best vampire movies ever made. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are brilliant, and this was Kirsten Dunst's best performance.

I don't think those guys lose any money. Disney released Pearl Harbor--I think they print their own money. What else are they doing at California Adventures? It ain't catering to tourists... Well I agree with you but I meant that if they had called the flick: "I'm missing my love and there's bombs all around" as Bart proposed they would have lost or rather to be more strict would never have gained Bart's money invested into purchased DVD. That's a seemingly tiny but still important part of how you called it printing money business. If titles were more appropriate and less media hype was present I bet they would lose a lot. |

Tell me about it, Term. I'm lucky I left before I caught Stealth... There are lots of movies that I still need to see... Some of which I've seen before but don't remember, so I have to see them again. |
