Has anyone else seen this movie?

From what I had been reading, and reviews from friends - I already was pretty sure I would love it, and I did. What a fantastic movie.

My biggest complaint, is that this smart, beautifully acted and directed film didn't get a general release here in Australia. I had to go to the local "art house" cinema (Dendy Brisbane) across town to see it. It depresses me that a dumb, CGI wet-dream spasm like Eagle Eye would be shown everywhere, forever- and film like Moon doesn't rate a national release. We may never have another movie culture changing SF movie like 2001 because not enough people would see it. Honestly, I doubt that 2001 would make a national release in this era.

I found some of these really funny.



"If you watch Raging Bull backwards, it's about a fat comedian who becomes a boxing champion and the more he beats his wife and brother, the more they like him."


"If you watch The Big Lebowski backwards, The Dude finally gets his rug back."


"If you watch The Shining backwards, it's about a murderer who is convinced by ghosts to give up the drink and settle down for a nice vacation with his family."


"If you watch 300 backwards, King Leonidas helps the messenger out of the well with his foot and tells him 'SPARTA IS THIS!'"


"If you watch Thelma And Louise backwards, it's about two women with a flying car who slowly realise their place is in the kitchen."

Digg shares an Unreality article on ten fan-made trailers, with their embedded YouTube videos to video game movies -- "It's pretty obvious that pretty much every movie that has ever been based on a video game has been utter crap. When the best of the genre are Silent Hill and the Resident Evil series, you know you're in trouble. Quite simply, movie producers and directors don't 'get' the games they turn into movies, and if they do, those games should have never been adapted into movies to begin with. Video game fans, it seems, have a much better idea about what the genre should be -- if it's bad arse, make it bad arse, and if it's silly, well, make it silly. After the jump, take a look at the work of said fans, and enjoy ten awesome trailers to fan-made video game movies..."

It's only Moon that made me realise how cool this guy is. Here he is recounting a Tim Allen joke on the set of Gentlemen Broncos. I would sift this but having found it on aol the embed code threw up a dupe to another older, different and dead video. Odd. Anyway, felt naughty so i uploaded it to my YouTube account.




Feel free to sift.

It's Bad-Ass

Ok, I'll admit off the bat I like the Matrix trilogy. All 3 of them. I've always heard other people berating 2 and 3 as if they were terrible, terrible movies, but I never understood why. Instead of trolling the internet trying to figure out why they sucked, can't you all just fill me in?

Thanks

He got his first silver star on the old Sift just over a month ago but he already collects his second one, now for drinking 50 rums sifting 50 videos. Incredible, I guess he has figured out the taste of sifters....

Griefer Queafer has some really great sifts. And like he says himself: "Please Love My Pqueues ;(" - please do!.

Great work! Congratulations!

Seriously, what crappy, crappy news. I'm certain the man had a comeback in him. Now we'll never know. He made so many classics -- Planes, Trains and Automobiles (my personal favourite), Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club... just look at his filmography. The man was pretty much untouchable in the '80s. What a crappy day for film fans.

I went to see Moon at the Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF) but it was sold out.

Has anyone seen this movie? No spoilers please.

Unfortunately I can't work out how to embed it, I assume it has embedding turned off.

But this video is awesome for all the special effect wizards in their native environment back in the 70s. Or, as the submitter says
"Crude home movies from the 1970s depicting activities at a certain location in the San Fernando Valley. "

Okay, so when I was a kid growing up in Puerto Rico, I remember seeing this weird movie when I was relatively young. As best as I can remember, this movie seemed to be something from before the 80s, though it might be early 80s at the latest. More likely though, this was something from either the 60s or 70s which had just been put on TV and dubbed into Spanish.

I don't know if this was a US film or not and worse, I only remember one scene:

At the very end of the movie, a man and a woman are put into this giant machine. The interior of the machine may have had throw pillows in it. When the machine is turned on, all sorts of 60s/70s psychedelic special effects happen and they are fused into one hermaphrodite-like being that walks out of the chamber to some macabre sounding music...

For some reason that scene always stuck with me, but I have never been able to identify the movie, likely some bad, seldom referenced sci-fi thingy.

A'ight sifters, have at it. Remember that since this happened on PR tv, it may not be a US film... very possibly it was foreign.

... with a very well written essay by Hank Stuever on how the gay community reacts to Bruno. (which I haven't seen yet - so no spoilers please)

Everybody knows that women are stupid. Even alien_concept. Everybody also knows that women's taste in all things entertainment sucks. They like the show "Friends" and the movie the Wedding Planner and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. When they were younger they didn't think it was necessary to put the black barbie heads on the white barbie bodies. Yup we're like 2 different species.

Guy's taste in the arts, however, is scientifically proven to be more universally profound. I've compiled a list of movies that embody a broad range of emotion and maintain importance to a male's psyche. I'd like you to share your top guy movies too (unless you're a female, then you can go bake me a tasty cake)

1. American Beauty
What an awesome and empowering movie this is. This guy, who has been sucked into the soulless paradigm of the "American standard" finds a way to break out and play by his own rules.

2. Cashback
A chick flick converted to meet a male's standards. This is a breakup/broken heart love story but with a lot of original comedy, interesting cinematography, great music, slight fantasy-twist, and most importantly; ass, titties, and more vagina than you can get away with in an American made movie.

3. Falling Down
Michael Douglas acts out the things we've always wanted to do. Every time he does something crazy, we all have a little party in our heads.

4. Life is Beautiful
You know, sometimes it's important for one cry in order to realize that one is human. Even men. Men don't find it necessary to cry at every f*cking chance they get because they feel like they need a proper outlet. This movie is one of the only proper outlets. The only other proper time for a guy to cry would be if he were just kicked in the balls. (I didn't cry during the movie PS I Love You, I had popcorn in my eye)

5. City of God
Ball-Flexin' awesome tale of a city plagued with the problems associated with poverty. Namely drugs and gang wars. As the movie takes place in a town outside of Rio De Janeiro over the timeline of a few decades, this movie is full of awesome scenery, foreign culture, great cinematography and it's action-packed. Superb character development and a complex story make this movie one that you can watch repeatedly to fully understand the intricacies of character relationships (direct and indirect).

"Ah, the pop culture dad. Is anyone more bumbling? Film and TV have provided us with a bevy of memorable dads, all perpetuating the stereotype of the well-meaning, but dim-witted (or borderline psychotic) pop. (Actually, sometimes it isn't borderline.) In honor of Father's Day, we salute a few of the greatest moments in pop culture dad-itude. They all deserve a "Father of the Year" novelty award ... and possibly psychiatric counseling."
