  1. Hmm, this is a NO GUNS fight. that aughta settle some issues right there.

     

    So who wins this one? I've noticed that the Duke had a lot more fistfights in his movies, but I've also noticed that Clint won more of his (Unforgiven being the only loss, I remember).

     

    Of course this isn't a fight between two actors. It's a fight between their onscreen cowboy personas, which vary, but still have common threads.

     

    I'm sure there'd be a lot of wrangling over just what their on screen personas were etc etc but any explanation more complicated than that will get this thread landed in the Philosophy thread, and I think we can both agree that true cowboys don't have time for figuring out the height of the sun and all that wanky shit.

     

    I have to say that I want to see more of these kindsa post in Fight Club rather than, "How much does Spongebob love IC?"

  2. So, for years fanboys have argued for comic movies that were more like comics and now that Xmen Spiderman, Blade and now Daredevil have come out we have it.

     

    We're fucked.

     

    Because by 'it' I mean that comic movies are copying the comics tradition of using issue one as a setup. Remember how the mainstream complains about "You can't just buy one comic and get a good complete story"?

     

    They're gonna start doing that to comic movies if this get's worse.

     

    It's going on elsewhere too. Matrix was planned as 3 movies from the start as was Lord of the Rings.

     

    At least Matrix delivered a good one off story while setting up the world.

  3. I wish I could make this a joint post with Mike/TopDog.

     

    French fries go best with a mixture of Ketchup and Mayo.

     

    IC can testify to how much we love that shit.

  4. Pakistan crashed and burned against the mighty Australians today.

     

    I gotta say those Aussies are worth every cent of praise they get. They bowled so tight. Nothing loose.

     

    And they were playing without Warne, Lehmann and Bevan.

     

    Poor Warne. He got ahold of some steroids in his cough syrup and now he's been kicked off the team. I like his bowling. I was looking forward to seeing him. Especially now that Shane Bond and New Zealand seem destined for an early exit.

  5. Well, I did say that I hardly ever watch the extras. I made an exception for Fellowship for understandable reasons.

     

     

    Oh yeah... you forgot to vote.

     

    I guess my argument does seem to be split (But hey! we have a thread splitting feature on the board now) 1- dvd extras cost more. Is it worth the price? 2 - Does it help you enjoy/appreciate the movie more?

  6. For a while now, I've been becoming very upset with myself for watching all those "The making of..." documentaries that come with dvds.

     

    e.g.

     

    The Fellowship of the ring has a 'featurette' showing how they filmed the wingwraiths chasing Arwen. The filmed it off the back of a truck that was driving on a paved road (that they obviously never showed). But now, when I watch the movie, during that scene, all I can see is actors in costume being filmed and the damn road is a constant presence in my awareness. It takes me right out of the movie.

     

    I've come to more and more dislike hearing about the production and business of a movie. Like knowing that Spielberg agreed to do Jaws only if he could keep the shark hidden for the first half of the movie. Or knowing how they did those cool 'bullet time' shots from the Matrix.

     

    I hardly ever watch dvd extras these days. Besides the fact that a lot of it tends to be just plain commercials for merchandise/themeparks/etc, I find that it doesn't actually enhance the movie experience for me.

     

    Deleted scenes are the only thing I like seeing on a dvd.

  7. OK, so I feel the need to keep this theead active. Even though I''m the only one interested. IC will post just to say shit like "But it's not even a real sport." Actually Mr. Irish Cow it's the 3rd most popular sport in the world after Soccer and fucking (in that order).

     

    One of my friends suggested today that having Rahul Dravid as wicketkeeper hurst India's chances cuz he keeps missing catches and stumpings. any comments?

  8. what word? Irish? yeah, I could see how that would make you want to vomit. Thanks god I'm not Irish.

     

    Or maybe I am part irish. After all, I love corned beef sandwiches.

     

    Spongbob: Sooner or later I'll get around to visiting Nick and Mike over TX. I'll make you a corned beef snadwish you'll like, garunteed. Unless you're off to college by then :D

  10. Well, Nick likes to toss around LL Cool J lyrics here and dare people to guess... SO I got one for him. Not rap, but still something I think he'd approve of... If he knew what it was.
