I watched some movies that I didn’t talk about on here. So here’s a catchup.
Tropic Thunder: Good. Mostly. Could have done with Steve Coogan staying alive though.
Pineapple Express: Pretty shitty, but had its moments.
Heartbreak Ridge: Good. Clint being a bad ass.
Bad Boyz(s?) 2: Turned it off after about 20 minutes. The extacy plot was too dumb for me to ignore. More people die every year from drinking water than die from taking extacy. What are they doing?!?
Three Kings: Much, much better than I expected it to be.
Southland Tales: I get the feeling that this was made to be purposely confusing. The problem I had was that it wasn’t so much confusing as fucking stupid. The Rock’s acting was awful, he was either in normal angry mode or nervous mode. There was no transition between the two, he just flipped a switch and was one or the other.
Escape from Alcatraz: I must have seen this 10 times, every time it’s on TV I can’t help but watch it. Although nowadays it seems like it was just filling a space until Shawshank came out, it’s still a great movie.
Good for you Gordon Frohm.
I have yet to see Tropic Thunder.
You spelled Ecstasy wrong.
Do you not sleep? You watch a million movies, watch a million TV season on DVD, write a million lines of code, and probably more. yer crazy.
Garry Bot on alert!
Well Rob, in the next million years he’s going to learn a million languages too :P
It’s “ecstasy”
Extacy? You mean ecstasy?
at #5,
Oh ho ho, Looks like we’ve got a drug expert here…
At #6, ecstasy isn’t only a drug, it’s a feeling.
Oh dear, I see a drugs arguement arising.
You should go see Max Payne that was awesome.
The same thing happens to me with Escape from Alcatraz, if it is on, I cannot stop watching it.
You should go see Quarantine that was awesome.
I thought Tropic Thunder was the best Ben Stiller movie I’ve ever seen. I even like it better than Mystery Men, which is saying a hell of a lot.
Also, if you like Steve Coogan, you need to see Hamlet 2. It’s like Napoleon Dynamite, but it’s ending is about 50 times better.
Yea I didn’t like Bad Boys 2 either Garry. You should of watched a little more of it. There is a line when the girl is asked to drop her gun. She is in a mine field and says.
“Yea sure I will drop the gun… right by the mine”
I mean honestly the fact that the line made it into the script makes it a crappy movie. Why would you tell the enemy who is about to kill you that you are about to drop the gun on a mine next to them.
I just saw Body of Lies…my friend had seen everything but it. Believe me….it’s not exactly a 15yr old’s movie.
Go watch ‘Taken’ it’s such an epic film.
I bet that what you’re REALLY watching is season 5 of Pokémon.
ADMIT!
yeah they wrote a horribly american role for steve coogan too.
I personally thought that Tropic Thunder was shit, whilst Pineapple Express was quite good.
Forgot something: Pineapple Express had a pretty good soundtrack too.
Tropic Thunder was alright. It was like they were trying TOO hard to make the funniest movie ever made ever.
“More people die every year from drinking water than die from taking extacy.”
The reason people die from taking extacy is due to the fact they drown their brain, by drinking too much water.
I think Pineapple Express would have been more enjoyable if I was a stoner. But the freindship overtones with the stoner undertones mixed with violence is good in my books. Plus the ending was priceless
Tropic Thunder looks really bad so I’m not going to watch it.
Watch the Royal Tenenbaums!
Three Kings is the shit.
So Garry, did you notice Maeby (Arrested Development) in Three Kings? She was pretty young, but she’s in there.
Watch “In Bruges.”
If you saw Hot Fuzz (which you should) you would have already seen the best part of Bad Boys 2. “Shit just got real.”

Southland Tales was horrible. Just awful. Really, really bad. The most disappointing part of it was that Donnie Darko fucking rocked. Darko’s confusing wierdness was genuinely interesting. Southland Tales wasn’t just confusing, it simply made no fucking sense. It had no basis in any reality, so there was no baseline on which to determine anything. No consistency at all. But even if it had made sense, the casting was abysmal and the dialog was bottom-rung. 2 hours of pure self-gratified shit.
escape from alcatraz is AWESOME. glad you like it. clint eastwood has some pretty phenomenal moments in that movie.
