My friend Brooks and I watched two films on Thursday.

Coffee and Cigarettes -
Fantastic, fantastic movie. I loved every little bit of it dearly, as it was a great set of "slice of life" vignettes. I'll have to actually buy a copy of the DVD when I get the chance.

Meet the Spartans -
Awful. My God, was it awful. Now, understand that we had known this going in, as we occasionally enjoy seeing awful movies, but this......don't even bother. Worst movie I ever saw, and the only thing I have to say about it is that I feel sorry for Kevin Sorbo and Diedrach Baker for having to be in this.

Rambo

I am now 35% manlier than before.

We'll have to run that past Partymember. He seems to be the expert on gauging the manliness scale.8D But Rambo really does look good. I'll try and watch it sometime. I'll just have to take some time beforehand to prepare myself for the violence that lies within.;)

LOLOL

i felt pretty gosh darn manly after watching that flick.

If you have a weak stomach seriously reconsider seeing this, dude, i was cringing throughout. Seriously. Not your regular blood n' gore, its a pretty accurate depiction of genocide. Nasty stuff.

Thanks for the warning, bud. I've seen the trailer (dismembering, soldiers turned to hamburger via machine-gun, etc) but the genocide thing... I've seen my share of war movies, Schindler's List probably being the most difficult to watch, but I usually brave through the gore and violence if it has a point (Black hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List) and not just gory for the sake of it.

Yes, it is accurate, except for one thing.

The civil war/genocide in the Sudan has been going on for much, much, much longer than the Burma violence. Therefore, Burma is not the longest-running civil war.

Other than that, yeah... I really enjoyed the film. Between this movie and playing Contra 4, I am soon going to become the manliest manly man ever yo manly my way across the manly country.

That much manly should earn you a theme song.:D

That song about Barnacle Bill the Sailor is coming to mind for some reason. :cheesegrin: 8D

I can't even remember the last time I sat down and watched a full-length movie from start to finish; when I want entertainment I usually end up in front of my computer or watching a TV program that comes in half-hour blocks. Kind of sad in a way, I suppose, but it seems to work for me. :)

Yikes, so much male posturing. This thread is in desperate need of a woman's touch once again.

Last movie I watched was The People vs. Larry Flynt, which I can't say left me with any particularly strong feelings of gender identification, though Woody Harrelson gave a charming performance as the infamous peddler of, a-hem, specialist adult art, and I like just about any movie where James Cromwell manages to show up.

I don't read this thread, but I wanted to say that late last night I watched Slingblade and I was completely floored and stunned. It's seriously one of the best films I have ever seen. When I can afford it I'm going to get the DVD; I assume there's a commentary, and I want to hear it. All I'd ever heard about that movie before was people quoting the "french-fried potaters" line, I had no idea what the film was about or if it was a comedy, horror, or what. I mean, I cried after seeing this movie. That's how awesome it was. Okay I don't read this thread so I won't see any replies to my post, I just wanted to share. :terrsmile:
