No, it's pretty darned good and I can't remember the reason for Bridges being so loyal to Heard, but he, in a perfect hardscrabble way, is, and it's a really good movie.
BTW, the Bush speech about what has happened is more fun if, after every sentence, you go: Huh, REALLY??
I have a great new high concept for a movie called "Barell of Monkeys," but after "Sunshine" I'm reluctant to reveal the clever plot elements here. Not that I'm paranoid, far from it, but I am world-wise, and I have people on the internets and copywright lawyers working round the clock, so all you back off of the "I Bash Harold" concept," quick, before I change my mind...

Or ordinary form, depending on your perspective.
Ok, teaser, we open we are on a cruise ship that looks very ADVANCED and there's something curious about the STAFF, and we find out that the year is 2038, and we assume that this is a pleasure cruise set in the future, and then we hear military drums and we see as people are lured/torn in cross-cutting from their co-bon vivants to a secret chamber deep in the ship, and then, after we see that they've all been put in place and the McGuffin revealed, the SERVER from earlier is confronted by the CAPTAIN FROM EARLIER, who takes off his CAPTAIN's HAT, and they BOTH LAUGH, and the former captain says, you should go sir, and extends the CAPTAIN'S HAT, and the CAPTAIN says, putting on his hat, as we draw away, "No, you?" "Cigar?" "No, I don't smoke." "That's too bad..."
[CREDITS, OPENING]
"Barell of Monkeys"

And for madupont (or anyone who's interested), here's an update on the Dylan flick coming out this November. http://movies.msn.com/movies/TIFF07/dispatch4?gt1=7701

OK, the idea is that in the future the government runs all transportation, and a supposedly-wealthy run of fun cruise folks have already been genetically pre-selected for survival, the idea being that from a cruise ship you have the 5 min. advantage to fire a team of five men and five women, selected some, pre, some inentionally not, and fire a nuclear submarine "ARROW" into the sea floor, to preserve genetic material, etc. So one guy wakes up and says, "Fuck all, where did my martini go??," etc. And they SLOWLY FIGURE IT OUT.
Why not just preserve genetic material and create people from a couple of scientists you preserve, that was an idea, and they died, who is left around to screw if you kill all the scientists in a bad LOVE TORPEDO.
Oh, and they are cryrogenically frozen like ALIEN for a couple hundred years so that everybody they know and cats and dogs are LONG DEAD.
So, are they the only ones. How do we get to the surface. Who is the android, who is the mole?
It's basically MOONRAKER ON A SMALL NUCLEAR SUB.
Plot point at the end of ACT II, and spoiler: You live in a NUCLEAR MISSILE, and all that HAL STUFF...
Basically it's Wargames meets Submerged meets Boat Trip meets Deep Star Six meets Logan's Run meets Beerfest.
I don't think we'll get a PG-13, but that's only because we want 11-yr. olds to watch it on Cinemax 4 instead of COCAINE ISLAND or whatever those bouncy boob channels are...not that in, what was it Paul Simon said, I took some comfort there, but I digress...
...I am pitching to the void...
only because I remain...
Truly yours,
the bottle

 The next sink may be the one I puke in...
...I am pitching to the void...
The problem is that I'm not straight...
We're in the service of the queen Harold...
Definition of insanity?
We have a weiner.
May I make a little suggestion, jbottle? If you've got to puke, dish gays or void out somewhere... Then do it over in the Gay Rights forum... And not in the new Movie Club. It hasn't been up a day yet... And you've tried to queer it already. Couldn't wait could you, little jbottle boy... Like the proverbial skunk at the picnic... Homophobes like you are dime-a-dozen... Just like skanky whores... The internet is full of losers... And you're one of them, baby. You're on Ingore now, have fun... Playing with yourself... & Detective_Winslow.  |

Oilcan, I've got Cutter in my queue, too, and look forward to a chat when all relevant parties have watched it.
The film club seems a bit turbulent but might get focused when a particular film is chosen. The only difficulty I foresee with choosing a film that everyone has seen is that time dulls memory, i.e. unless we've all seen it recently, there won't be as sharp a discussion. Sounds like it's more a matter of picking a film, watching it, then discussing. Doesn't mean it can't be an old classic (and they have the advantage that they are easier for everyone to obtain quickly -- or many may already own a copy).

I'm impressed with the deluxe treatment being given Blade Runner. Hard to believe it has been 25 years,  http://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-4086232-9828850?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=blade+runner&Go.x=9&Go.y=7 quite a few choices. |

Is it puget_opolis? Makes sense. Knock down "Caddyshack" for the 183rd time, you'll feel much better.

A little Loggins with your logins?
3:10 to Yuma this weekend, though I'm disappointed at local theaters failure to grasp an obvious marketing strategy to boost matinee attendance and show the film at precisely...

harrie, got a copy of The Hollywood Reporter? I bet this is not out of turn around. But I don't bet much, literally p'nuts.
madupont, Ummm, no. But I checked it out, and are you referring to the Cillian Murphy bit? (http://tinyurl.com/28bpe2) If so, thanks for the heads up -- I hope he doesn't get overexposed. If not, then what did I mss? Whoops, no, actually I was referring to Love in the Time of Cholera. I may have ended up in the wrong half of the two movie-forums divide? Don't know how many years that I have been arguing with myself whether reading The Hollywood Reporter is "worth it" or not? (at least 14 or 15...) |

Watched a movie called "Steel" this afternoon, or rather the later half of it. It was an enjoyable movie. Goodness prevailed. Silliness took the stage. The downtrodden were upheld. Good triumphed in the end. There was a lot of action, falling, running, shooting magical new weapons, and, best of all, when the girl in the wheelchair wheeled around and began shooting from the hip - the hip of her wheelchair that is.
If they show it again, I hope to watch the whole movie.
