I wonder why that is...
Commercialisation i guess. People usualy are at home around the holiday times... i guess the big channels want to draw in ratings etc...
As to why they repeat those films... who knows...

Going back to the Dune Trilogy.
I have finished them a few weeks ago now, and never commented because I wanrted to see if over time my views would change.
I found the better book to be Dune Messiah.
In children of dune, you could rip off a hundred pages, and there eould be no diference to the actual story.
Dune was good, but it was best when still at the plotting stage. After that slightly downhill.
Good read, poor end to the trilogy, with the only expanation being 'it was in the prescient visions.'

Kung Fu Hustle is a movie Spotty Seema*
:roll:
i think you mean to say Hong Kong Fui!!
The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

now you really are talking hong kong fooey what a guy what a piece of heaven
indeed........part time janitor, part time super hero!!
even tho he knows no moves.....he always manages to fluke something!!
he was never the sharpest at Fighting class in Hero School!!
but he was an exception as he had a likeable character, and he was a part-time superHero!!

the movie 'dark water' was not so much scary as sad so very sad about a mother's love for her child, a childs need for a mother and a mother who did not love her child and another mother who did not love her child
you shouldnt watch sad films then.
Back in BLACK
seraph i had to write something to get my fav thread on page 1 from page 3
this should be renamed the films thread
have you watched any good films lately? recommend any?
films ehhh....
well... lets see....
White Noise (freaky if your paying attention)
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (already been discussed here.. v.freaky)
Batman Begin (Awesome prequel)
The Kingdom of Heaven (didnt think i was gonna like it ... but was fantastic)
War of the Worlds (New tom cruise movie... big disappointment)
Wedding Crasher (v.v.v.v.funny... couldnt stop laughin)
Back in BLACK
lol I agree with the above - wedding crashers was awesome.
I love that crazy ultra competitive guy that tried to kill them playing football
lol i thought he was on steriods or something...
loved it when he eventualy gets wacked at the end... well not WACKED waked as in the Italian mob meaning of the phrase... but punched.
I like good gangster flicks too... watch Sopranoes a bit...
Oh i also saw Meet the Fockers.
Back in BLACK
lol it was roids rage!!! I completely missed that.
hahah athat makes so much sense - I had a friend back in high school who used roids.
Wow...
Godfather and Goodfellas are def the best mob films
Have you ever seen Oceans 11?
It's not really a mob movie but it's gambling and stealing so it might as well be.
Thats one of my all time favs
i will watch them
and you guys should watch the 'butterfly effect', and kung fu hustle
and a rather sad movie 'the assassination of president nixon' shaun penn
I've actually seen 'the butterfly effect' i personally thought it was really good... altho it didnt do really well at the cinema... the same with Gothika.
Watched Kungfu Hustle... you just get the whole matrix theme throughout the movie... TheOne...String-KungFu effects... and the end fight scene looks disturbingly like the one from Reloaded... mixed with comedy... and a bit of a love story with the lollipop girl thats not really explored at all. But it was okay... not too bad.
Anyone watchd 'The House of Flying Daggers' or 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'??
Back in BLACK
Butterfly Effect was really good (and disturbing).
One of those ones you start recommending to everybody and then double check yourself because it's not suitable for all audiences.
lol for example your little cousin...
Watched crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Good moves, dissappointed by the love story (keep them out of films!)
dissapointed by the plot, it was a little bit, not really a plot like.
However, wanted to wartch Kung fu Hustle and ong bak.
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.
Through cheating, stealing, and lying, one may get required results but finally one becomes
tru... there was too much of a love story thing in House of Flying Daggers... and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was mostly about a stolen sword... until you get to the vengence, murder, and cultural oppression part.

Did you watch Jet Li's 'the legend' now that was a film.
A group of armed stooges guarding the imposter leader.
Entr Jet Li:
Blind folded and recovering from have his nerve endings cut up, carrying a bag of swords.
"you cannot defeat me, my actions are guided by heaven."
Show starts (proverbially) stooges going down left right and centre.

ive got fist of legend by jet li.... is that the same one? Havnt watched it.
speaking of which. Jet Li has retired from Kungfu movies... he now wants to do family dramas etc.
Back in BLACK
jet li's 'hero' was the better movie
house of flying daggers only the title was good
crouching tiger now thats a film
old movie 'deliverance' is really good and disturbing i only came across it recently
Anyone ever watch the 'Once Upon a Time in China' series?
Back in BLACK
is emily rose one worth watchin? i dont want to be dissapointed....
and white noise the one about those sounds thru that machine and the horses or sumfin yeah? oh god....bringin back memories....im scared!!
- Jet Li is a loada rubbish, avoid all his movies
- Crouching Tiger wasnt bad, pretty kool at the tiem - 1st to do all those walking on trees effects
-House of daggers was awesomly cool i thought - 3 different stories in one film
- Kung Fu was overrated - OTT action, sumtymz ok. rarely funny
butterfly effect the ashton kutcher one?
in King Kong -.......apparently theres some similarities to the story of Yog and Mog...

Watch Ong Bak.
No wire effects.
And a unique ending for a film.

Having watched number 1, I have to say I agree.
Not seen any of the other 9 (could be because they are america only...).
