I haven't seen this movie but I've been disappointed by movies like this in the past and I figure the commercials show all the good parts (except the naughty parts) anyway so the commercials are enough for me. Like Titanic, I pretty much know the story and I've seen clips and commercials so I don't think I really need to see this one. Besides, that DiCaprio guy is a total pussy. Has anyone seen Solaris? Now there's a space adventure. |

the only reason to see this movie is to see Caspar's ass -- Christopher is right about this one. (Hey, even if you're straight, Caspar's got an ass anyone can love!) o/w, all I remember about this flick was bugs and nazi stormtroopers....or something to that effect. |

I deemed the plot a little too deep and skipped that one. I figure it's a showcase for CGI and violence, and both of those tend to piss me off. I didn't know about Caspar's Ass, though. |

Opps. Paul Verhovan (sp?), you should have stopped after Robocop. And casting Doogie Howser and the Gestopo was a bad move. I have nothing against Neil Patrick Harris per se, but as of yet, I don't think he can play a convincing Dark Nazi Scientist type. |

aint that always the way? Aside from Blade Runner, I don't think any of his work survived in a palatable form to the big screen. And even then, Blade Runner is a special case because that film only shares vague resemblances to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Speaking of artistic visions though, this reminds me. You know Geiger? The moody guy that designed the alien for Alien and Sil for, uh, I think it was Species? Well, apparently Mr. Geiger hated the final result of Alien (I'm not talking about the other Alien movies, only the original). It didn't live up to his bio-mechanoid vision or something. Anyway, he wasn't pleased and swore he'd never work on a movie again. That was until the Species crew convinced him to design thier she-creature. And he went bonkers over it too. He loved that film. It was most true to his dream. Well, that's what I've heard anyway. Personally, I thought Species was one of the worst collection of images committed to celluloid since Eve of Destruction (hmm..let's cast Gregory Hines as a bad ass robot hunter....sure.). I'm still regretting wasting my 8 bucks on Species. Or something. |

As for Giger, I think his best film-related visual design was for a film that was never released, by the name of Killer Condoms... check out the book (no, not the website) www.hrgiger.com for some shots... |

Yeah, Peter Weller was excellent in First Born, but personally, I'd say his best role was as Buckaroo Banzai. True, it, like Robo Cop, is only a cult film, but it's still one of my fav's, if only because the acting was so..... weird. Starchy, Perhaps DADOES is more like Blade Runner than I give it credit. I just feel that the major themes of the book, missing in the film almost entirely, make the two very distinct. Without Scott's vision for that film, Blade Runner would have been just another early 80's hack sci-fi movie, especially in it's watered down DADOES format. |

Then I watched the movie again. They were right. Also, it had little else in common with the book (which was also pretty fascist, but not specifically Nazi oriented) I didn't like it even before I read the article. |

Nothing spectacular. Just another movie. |
The Bugs live in Communes.(Communists) they have a Brain Bug that leads them. The Brain Bugs look like the hats of the Commissars that led the Russian troops in the early days of WW2.The movie has countless references to NAZI and Allied propoganda movies. The Joke..if that is the word, is would you join the "Roughnecks" in their good fight, as the Movie asks you at the end? Who started the War? The Movie works pretty well on the subtext level, but is not strong elsewhere. It also satirizes "Embedded Journalists", Equal Gender treatment of Soldiers, the Internet Wars. It was produced in 1997, just 3 years after the first Iraq war. |
nice DARRIN thread,eh,heh. with a little cumshot of lucy in there. someone needs to raise a good oatmeal thread from the dead. and i need to put thse animal crackers away. for as good an idea a 5lb 4oz barrel of animal crackers seemed when i was in costco... there really should be a warning label for pot smokers. thank god i don't have a can of easy cheez on hand. thank god i killed that tub of frosting last night. ha. i just stoner-fu'd a fly. FUCK YOU FLY. your days of wonton annoyance are over. won-ton. wonton. wanton. won-ton. i'm going to lay some brie and carrs down on these animal crackers. mortaring this meal with beer, i am. i imagine by late morning tomorrow i'll be passing gas in a cacophany of circus squeels, grunts, growls, whinneys and elephantine trumpeting. you hear that? like a herd of buffalo through dry bamboo, motherfucker is rumbling down to colon city. what happened? mark 10:25, that's what i say. where you going, cheney? me and the devil want to talk to you down in colon city. we'll make you a deal, and i suggest you sit down at this table ready to deal, because your chances up stairs are slim, none and fuck you, you ass. cerviche, mi hombre? i've got a rockman here who will fuck you six ways to september with his granite manpiece. like sandpaper, my friend, a rasp of disturbingly familiar dimensions. there is colonoscopy and colonectomy, dick o pal, and you know which one we're talking about. of course, you wouldn't like that, and i wouldn't suggest you like it or even suggest you experience it, even if you are into unplesant events just for the experintial value. it isn't worth the price of admission, believe you me. so why did i bring it up? why did i bring it up. i don't rightly know, and since you don't rightly know either, let's drop it. let's drop it and you sit right down and we cut a deal. and don't give me any of that blah blah blah bullshit. it isn't impossible but it is so fucking unlikely. you're a goner, buddy. you're going south for certain unless you change your ways. and significantly. seriously. you're getting so many chances too. each heart attack should be a wake up call, making you realize your mortality and the error of your ways. but no, you stubborn SOB. that makes you a perfect candidate for the southern satanic railroad, if you catch my allusion. WHOOOWHOOOO! all aboard, you tumerous whore, you walking cancer. take those teeth out and get your crooked cunt mouth ready. your hypocracy has been moulded into the cock of your eternity. yes, yes loosen those cheeks, it won't be comfortable. oh my, i know, isn't it though. we had so much raw material to work with. and even so, you're lucky we gave it balls. |
