I intend to watch it tonight , hope its good.

Anyone elde got any good recommendations?

Yeah....Collateral. Its a great script, fab cinematography....but the really interesting thing is it shot totally in high def electronic pictures. The death of film is nigh.

I ate Napoleon..one of my favorite deserts...
;)

Saw Collateral the other night.

Yup liked it.

Haven't seen "The Manchurian Candidate " yet though...

I have it here, haven't watched it. Might tonight unless I go out.

Garden State
Bourne Supremacy
We don't live here anymore
Last Samurai

are also on the menu.

Napoleon Dynamite was my favorite movie of the year, but it isn't for everyone. If you love Wes Anderson movie (The Royal Tennenbaums, Bottle Rocket, Life Aquatic, etc.) you'll really like this movie because it have a similar feel to Anderson's movies.

Collateral was a great movie and much better than I thought it would be. I thought Jamie Foxx matched Tom Cruise in the acting department.

I didn't care for the Manchurian Candidate remake, but probably only because I loved the original so much.

rhymer, yup, digital filmmaking is taking over, but I don't think film will ever die, at least not in the near future.

I am home with the flu and am powering through flicks at the moment. Just watched Romeo is Bleeding for the first time tin ten years. Wow. A desert island film for me.
If you haven't seen it, it is a descent into hell pictutre. No Hollywood ending here.
Gary Oldman and Lena Olen.

You are probably right. I have been predicting the death of film for 15 years. But I have only ever shot video. It is dead in the still picture market though.

yeah, Hollywood, as a whole, is slow in adapting new technologies.

I read an interesting article in the current issue of DV magazine about Francis Ford Coppola predicting the death of film in Cannes in the 80's and how his daughter, who was in attendance as a child, went on to shoot on film.

I think it's a great medimum for indy filmmakers who can't afford the higher post-production costs associated with film.

I just bought a 1080i sony camera for four grand. it looks great. It will probably last me about six or seven months until something better comes along, but it is the first entry level high def out there. You could do cheap productions with this for sure. It lookds amazing. If anyone is shooting video, now is the time to give your stuff some legs.

Flashy Statement:
My daughter was in a film by Francis Ford Coppola once.



Truthful Explanation:
The Kids club aboard the QE2 orgainised a little playlet for the kids to perform for their parents on the final night.
FFC was also onboard and of course he made a home video of it.

:)

I think that was after my dinner with the Queen.

Here we go again , huh , rhymer?

come on nicky....a little sense of humour goes a long way. Its a freeking wind up.

cool. Good on ya.

When you're "nice" you make some very valid points and contribute well to the board.

I won't draw first blood.

;-)))

Me neither. I have been in this business since 1998 and have learned a few things over the years.

wasnt my cup of tea, but interesting enough..


saw Shaun of the Dead, laughed my ass off, im not sure if it was intentionally that funny or not, fucking brits, but there are some LOL moments:)

Well, Grimm. Like how to make money. Need a couple of tips kid? Now go stand in the corner and repeat "I will not act like a wanker" 500 times and when you have finished you may apologise and join us at the table. Now run along and learn how to be a good boy.

rhymer,

I would guess grimm makes more this month than you will this year.

And has the distinct possibility of becoming wealthy.

Just a guess mind..

Not a piss , just correcting a gap in your knowledge :)

You know, Nick, I have been hearing this same thing over and over for years. I sincerely doubt that that is true otherwise he would stinking rich already. However, if it is, it matters not to me. But I am still not sure exactly what it is he does. It was a fair question. I have yet to fathom why folks think I am a pauper on these boards. This is a position that a few might want to reconsider. BTW, I am doing my best to be nice. But Grimm is pushing buttons.

In this latest incarnation you HAVE been nice , and I have enjoyed your company on the board and treated you as I have found you.

However , in all honesty , you do have about 300 wanker posts in your previous incarnation.

As for Grimm's wealth , alledged or not.

I KNOW categorically he turned down a firm and real offer of One Million Dollars CASH for a website.

I would assume being able to turn down that amount of money would infer wealth?

In today's world, that would infer a pretty good upper middle class existence. I am really not trying to be argumentative, but people on these boards seem to have a very skewed idea of wealth. It might be money in Cleveland, but its a studio flat in Monte Carlo. It all depends to what you aspire. I have been around long enough and have lived a pretty wealthy existence in my time. I live a modest but very sucessful and happy lifestyle at the moment. A million dollar website is just an asset. That is only a bungalow in West Van.

Edit: to be fair, a lot of those "wanker" posts were in response to complete misquotes and out and out lies. When you are swarmed, you react.

best zom rom com ever ;-)

they did a great job, IMHO, of balancing in-jokes and creating their own genre classic that stands on its own....

Classic english flic and humour ;)

Evil dead 3 still cracks me up with bruce campbell ... shit that is going on now after suffering the indignancy of "the jerry springer opera" lol seriously ...

something to offer is not money.. there is gobs of money to be had by the nmembers of this board..

ahh nick.. you know (prolly to the dollar, or close thereof) my worth.. but the point is.. it doesnt matter, now does it,.. knowledge is power.. you have it, i have it, many others have it.. but our foe, while rampant with pugilistic nutsack, is lacking in fortitude. so be it, there are paper tigers 'round every bend:) no matter how big the sack.. if its empty, its,well, well, empty:) haha

cheers:)

and ahem, you still havent asked the PERTENANT questions, you nimwhit, what do I have to do whack you upside the head? :unsure:

hah schoolyard piss

whats next, "your mama" jokes

oooh i can't wait

saw both..

Collateral was excellent..slick, fast paced, well acted.. youll enjoy the fuck out of it....


Manchurian candidate was OK, however i am biased by seeing the sinatra version.


however denzel does a good job.. just watch it first then indulge yourself with the original:)


and pick up "Citizen Kane" while your in that section;)

Peaches judging from your taste, you will like them all

Garden State is the cream of the crop tho

nick, how was I, Robot?

i could not agree more

Army of Darkness and the evil dead trilogy is the work of Sam Raimi, same as The Quick and The Dead..

masterful at gore with a premise.. i knew brits, americans,aussies, germans and such loved the same films


ahh i love it

I'm just popping my head in....

[[ doing a double feature tonight.

About 2/3rds the way through "Two Brothers" with widfe and the kids.(the one about two tiger cubs?)

There's been some blubbing like bitches , but eventually I stopped. ;-)) ]]

Just to see how it was going and how if rhymer was disturbing our board.

Obviously not.

;-)))

Grimm I can't accurately assess how much money you have, as well as I like to believe I can assess the knowledge , reputation and integrity you have.

The latter I'd hazard to guess will ALWAYS outstrip the former.

I have Garden State here, but haven't watched it yet....I'll probably go watch it in a few minutes

I didn't care for Bourne Supremacy, but it was ok

The Last Samurai was excellent except the stupid ending...god how I loathed the ending...

already saw garden state.. love zaxh braff, am in love with natalie portman...so what can i say, perfect movie... close. but not quite, but really close.

Zach Braff kills me on Scrubs, and Natalie Portman is definitely a hottie (the only reason I sat through the torture that was "Closer") and have heard nothing but good about the movie

I ended up not watching anything last night - long (and boring) story.

Anywhoooo - I enjoyed I-Robot. Reviews sucked but I liked it :)

and ahem, you still havent asked the PERTENANT questions, you nimwhit, what do I have to do whack you upside the head? :unsure: [/b][/quote]
Sure kid. Worth? Well, I suppose that is subjective. Money? Now that is easier. Accomplishments? Well, I would bet you still have a few of those hills to climb, but I could be wrong. Pushing buttons would not be one of them. Nick and Peaches speak highly of you for your wealth. See my second point.

you havent been 'round long enough to know that pushing buttons is a hobby opf mine, good day, pilgrim:) [/b][/quote]
Well, you need to hone your craft.

I know mine as well, and am proud of my accomplishments. I hope you are as well. Porn, IHMO, is a very minor accomplishment. Its a living. I would assume you have a wealth of history that does not just involve making money. Then I would tip my hat to you, for sure.
