  1. ^^I was halfway through the trailer when I realized that was Ex-Uma Thurman and not Steven Dorff from Blade. This looks like a solid film.
  2. Baytor: So true! Whatever happened to Pat Lee anyway? He was such the comic book up-and-comer there for a while and the he just faded. Panch: THANK YOU! I didn't read all your review lest it be spoiled, but your first line and the two things you emboldened give me hope. Those tools over at aicn.com have been teabagging and hot costnering the film all week. They're such geek elitists over there. I usually only get news at the site and skip the reviews for just that reason.
  3. No you don't. Ralph Machio will have his say on Saturday after he see's it on Friday night in glorious IMAX! Life-size on-screen Optimus=win regardless of plot!
  4. The Stern clip I linked is one of many bits he did mocking an interview Baytor Keifer did for Inside The Actor's Studio in which his pretentiousness shined like a
  5. D'oh, sorry! I forgot I was conversing w/ a jabroni. Keifer Sutherland is an actor an a popular TV show. He's also a giant d-bag that starts bar fights and is way too full of himself, like you, "Oh, He Who Is Unimpressed By Shiny Things."
  6. ^^Kudos on the Adventures of Young Indiana Jones sets as well as the complete Batman: TAS set. Nice w/ the Falcon riding atop the highest perch as well. What i that purple and black eyeball thing though? This is motivating me now to get my shelves organized. I've got a special section for DVDs I haven't watched yet and it's grown disproportionately large. I need to just go ahead and organize 'em by genre like the rest of my stuff.
  7. Heather Graham is hawt n all, but those pics scream "desperate for a career revival!"
  8. On DVD: Afro Samurai: Resurrection C+ If you were a fan of the five episode mini-series then this film should satisfy you as it is basically more of the same. The titular character battles a gaggle of misfits, cyborgs, robots, and his own conscience in a seemingly never ending sequence of stylized bloody battles set to a sparse soundtrack by hip-hop producer RZA. Flash of Genius B Greg Kinear gives a great performance in this overlooked yet uplifting indie gem that focuses on a small slice of American history with a healthy dose of legal drama thrown in for good measure.. This film is based on the true story of professor and inventor Bob Kearns who invented the intermittent windshield wiper. The story focuses on how Ford Motor Co. stole Kearns’ invention, the lawsuit he brought against them, and the toll the 12 year ordeal took and him and his family. This movie reminds us that the “American Dream” is not something easily achieved or oftentimes even earned, but rather something that must be fought for—and that fight requires tenacity and sacrifice. Miller’s Crossing A- If you haven’t seen this 1991 Coehn Bros. film about prohibition-era gangsters then add it to your “must see” list. Gabriel Byrne stars as an advisor to an Irish crime boss (played beautifully by Albert Finney). This film is an homage to gangster noir, and definitely has the signature blend of violence and dark humor the Cohen Bros. are known for. However, this film is more than just a satire or homage to a genre—it is a worthy addition to the genre itself.
  9. And your favorite word is gravitas. We get it, Kiefer. We get it. Now get off yer high horse, pull the stick outta yer arse, and try not to start a bar fight whilst hopped up on coke and tequila.
  10. It's not playing in any theaters around here, so I'll likely have to wait for DVD or a good DL.
  11. I'm totally gonna put that on a t-shirt and sell it on e-bay.
  12. whoa, wait, what? rogers may be resurrected? bucky was just beginning to get it going. apparently i need to get around to reading issue #50. i also haven't read any of the mighty or new avengers since dark reign started...
  13. You must not be a Star Wars fan then. The kind of guy who saw Jersey Girl in the theaters and bought the DVD.
  14. Soooo you're saying the two Dorkman short films were better than Yoda vs. Emperor, Yoda vs. Dooku, Anakin vs. Dooku, Emperor vs. Windu, Obi-Wan vs. Anakin, and Maul vs. Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon Jin? It's one thing to say the prequels were a disappointment, bed even. But to say those fan flicks are better than this: That's the crackpipe talkin', man. Craaaaaaaaaaaackpipe talk.
  15. The big-eyed chick was also Ted's ukulele playing gf in the last season of SCRUBS.
  16. Slowly...put...the...crack...pipe...dooown. Hugs not drugs!
  17. I'd never heard of those before. They were quite good--exactly what I'd imagine a real life saber fight between two nerds to be. Seriously though the editing, fx and cinematography were all well done. The Ho bros. speed and agility combined w/ the RvD2 guys film know-how could make for the ultimate fan lightsaber fighting film.
  18. ^^ Heh, I wish it existed. I was just saying they SHOULD make that version.
  19. Good luck to all y'all FL types in your quest for fitness! I'll have to be w/ metalheart on this one and cheer from afar. I've been thinking about doing a detox for a while now. Just to get all the junk outta my body. Some people swear by them, but there are just as many people who say detoxes are worth bupkiss. I've been one procrastinating, lay-zee SOB this past year in regards to working out. I just hate exercising. I mean, there's a new gym literally down my street and I refuse to go. My Wii Fit has been collecting dust since November. I'm jiggly. Not good. Self motivation has never been my strongsuit, but maybe I'll get my shit together sooner than later. Hopefully.
  20. ^^ That is an oldie. I think I remember seeing that around the time of Episode 1, no? Those guys should go back and do a "special edition" and add some FX like scorching the grass whenever they stick the lightsabers into the ground and CGI out those cheezy sunglasses.
  21. ^^ Nice one. It makes me want to watch Fight Club again. Here's a few by the infamous wormyTV: Would I like that Bryan Singer snoozefest wiped clean and have this movie instead? Yes, please! For the love of gawd someone make a Thundercats movie half as cool as this trailer!
