I want to watch The September Issue. I think it would be fun to be an intern.


It's good that they do speak the languages....and didn't just use British or even American accents, but like I said, I'm lazy Still a great film though.

I thought about applying to German Vogue as an intern but they want their intern to study something to do with fashion and they don't pay a cent.

[crfan177]

Yeah that's kind of the problem with most internships....they don't pay anything. So basically, I think your parents have to have money for you to get into the fashion industry. I know I couldn't afford to be an assistant.

Isn't Diane Kruger born and raised in Germany?

I absolutely loved "Inglourious Basterds". I know he has his critics but I find Quentin Tarantino a complete mad genius for genre mixing his films. He makes a fantasy gore war film by incorporating other genres he loves. His dialogues are always so well done and well executed by the actors in his film. His choice in music is always a delight. Haters gonna hate, but I love QT.

I just hate when Aldo sticks his finger in the actresses leg. Yuuuuuuuuuuuck. And all the scalping as well. Ew.

It's good though, because that part of the movie is so QT, but for the most part the rest of it is not his trademark guns and gore. But I could be wrong, because to be honest, I don't watch movies with lots of guns and gore

[Myss Blewm]

The whole theatre was squirming from pain and discomfort when Aldo stuck his finger in Bridget's bullet wound. Oh my gosh that was painful.

Well, I would say it's a fair amount of guns and gore. In the bar he does a classic Mexican shootout scene. And at the end in the theatre there was guns and explosions galore. And there was plenty of scalping to go around....complimentary head bashing from the Bear Jew. I think it's very QT because the dialogue is so exquisite, like when Col. Hans is having an intense conversation with the French dude housing Jews at the beginning of the film. That was the most perfect scene out of the whole film. I was absolutely taken away with how it was written, shot, and acted. I do think this is one of his best films to date.

She is. But she's spent so much time in other countries that she's lost her native accent. I don't know, she sounds strange when she speaks German.

I think I have a new respect and love for Kathryn Bigelow. I've always respected her for being a strong female director as well as she did films that were "against" the typical female directed genre. It was not until I watched "The Hurt Locker" did I finally see the brilliance of her work, did I finally understand why she chooses to do the films that she does. As anyone should know, I love a good film with a very strong female lead (I mean, shit, two of my favorite films of all time are "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Coraline" and we need not repeat how awesome the two leads are in those films), so it was quite the surprise to me at how much I loved "The Hurt Locker". No woman in sight except Evangeline Lilly (OMG Kate!) in a very tiny role. I don't even know where to start with the review of this movie. The cast? The story? The intesity of the film? How well it was made that it put all other "Middle East war films" to fucking shame because it didn't sugarcoat it nor give a political bias as to what the filmmakers think of the war? It's just....ahhhhh sooo DAMN IT! I can't think straight! That's how good it is! I cannot think straight! I waited for three weeks of hunting Red Box to Red Box to finally get my hands on this film, and I think I'm going to treat myself tomorrow and buy the DVD. New favorite film! The last film I was THIS excited about after seeing it....probably...."Coraline"! This film for some reason struck a huge chord with me. Messy rant, but damn!!!! I love this movie. I watched it two days ago and my blood starts pumping fast when I think about this movie again. I can't stop thinking of how good it is. The actors in this film are all so good, it didn't seem like they molded into a role; it was like they were real people and the cameras just happened to be there. The plot was so well done, what a real way to show us what has been going on in the Middle East, and at the same time what a way to tell a story of the various men and the different things they all go through. And despite all that I just said, what a great piece of fictional action flick. It was just done to perfection that trying to describe it does it no justice. Love, love, love. If it doesn't win for "Best Picture" I will write a rage letter to the Academy.

....I waited for three weeks of hunting Red Box to Red Box to finally get my hands on this film....

I've been waiting for it to be there every time I get a Red Box! Maybe now I'll just have to hunt it down like you did!

[Myss Blewm]

It was so damn difficult Mari!! Every time I went to the grocery store/Wal-Mart I would stop by the Red Box, cross my fingers and browse for it. But it was always "Sold Out". So one day last week I dropped by my local grocery store and half-halfheartedly thought, "It's not going to be there but I might as well look " And I was shocked to see that they had a copy! Now I think I'm going to go buy the DVD.

And if people who visit this thread but not the Percy Jackson thread, don't go watch that movie if you're a fan of the book series or Greek mythology. The movie screwed it all up really badly.

[Djoserai]

I really wasn't planning to see Percy Jackson, it does spark any interest even though I really love greek mythology.

They fucked up Hades so bad.

The bad part is, is that I think I've seen it a few times but didn't really think to get it. Then it progressed to me saying I'll get it next time. And now I can't find it. But I think I've really just gotta hit-up all of my surrounding Red Boxes

[Myss Blewm]

I had my brother go hunt for it last night since I couldn't find a copy at the stores to purchase. He found it at McDonald's of all places. I bought a copy on Amazon.com but I have to wait until next weekend for it to arrive.

I hate how they always portray him as some greedy satanic man who is power hungry and always wants to topple down Zeus and Posieden.
