I thought it was assumed he was bi-sexual. And anyway, who cares! It's 2005 for Baptist's sake!

The weird but enjoyable mix of "Road Trip", "TCM", "Jeeper's Creepers", "Duel" and "Clerks", "Monster Man"

A wonderfully tasty morsel of political documentation in the form of The Power of Nightmares (2005/UK/Adam Clark) - a non-competition entry at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Delightfully spiffing! :D |

I agree that Stiller pretty much stole it but like I said I think Vaughn can be pretty funny without saying much, sometimes just the look on his face makes me laugh. Haven't seen Locusts yet I'll keep an eye out for it. |
Vince Vaughn is money in Swingers, baby - but Jon Favreau is even funnier with his lead balloons:-
"Well, we're not in Kansas anymore..." |

Last seen movie: Throttle; I give it a 3/5 |
The best scene from Swingers:-
ANSWERING MACHINE (synthesized voice) She didn't call. Mike collapses into his futon and lights a smoke. Beat. He pulls out the COCKTAIL NAPKIN. He stares at the number. He looks at the clock. 2:20 AM. He looks at the napkin. He thinks better of it, and puts the napkin away. Beat. He takes out the napkin and picks up the phone. ANSWERING MACHINE (synthesized voice) Don't do it, Mike. MIKE Shut up. He dials. It rings twice, then... NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE Hi, Nikki. This is Mike. I met you tonight at the Dresden. I, uh, just called to say I, uh, I'm really glad we met and you should give me a call. So call me tomorrow, or , like, in two days, whatever. My number is 213-555-4679... (beep) Mike hangs up. Beat. He dials again. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE Hi, Nikki. This is Mike, again. I just called because it sounded like your machine might've cut me off before I gave you my number, and also to say sorry for calling so late, but you were still there when I left the Dresden, so I knew I'd get your machine. Anyway, my number is... (beep) Mike calls back right away. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE 213-555-4679. That's all. I just wanted to leave my number. I don't want you to think I'm weird, or desperate or something... (he regrets saying it immediately) ... I mean, you know, we should just hang out. That's it. No expectations. Just, you know, hang out. Bye. (beep) He hangs up. Beat. He dials. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leaves a message. (beep) MIKE I just got out of a six-year relationship. Okay? That should help to explain why I'm acting so weird. It's not you. It's me. I just wanted to say that. Sorry. (pause) This is Mike. (beep) He dials again. There's no turning back. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE Hi, Nikki. This is Mike again. Could you just call me when you get in? I'll be up for awhile, and I'd just rather talk to you in person instead of trying to squeeze it all... (beep) He dials yet again. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE Hi, Nikki. Mike. I don't think this is working out. I think you're great, but maybe we should just take some time off from each other. It's not you, really. It's me. It's only been six months... NIKKI (Live, in person. she picks up the line) Mike? MIKE Nikki! Great! Did you just walk in, or were you listening all along? NIKKI (calmly) Don't call me ever again. MIKE Wow, I guess you were home... (click) She hung up on him. He's frozen. He hangs up. Beat. |
almost had me in tears when i saw it the 1st time (the answering machine sequence)
|
Jon Favreau has excellent comic timing, and a great expressionable face.
"It's not you, it's me"... "This is mike." lol! |

the trailer scene at the beginning (after Vegas) too nicely handled by vaughan ... dissapointed - but not bitter :) |
Is Swingers also called Made? Or is Made just a different flick with Vaugn and Favreau as the lead roles?

the Fulci thread made me want to watch it again |
"Zombie flesh eater 2"
One of the better Fulci movies. "The sweet house of horrors" One of the worst. "Dawn of the dead" - remake Aahhhhhh.....Damn good. :) |

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory...Pretty Good...
And...'Stealth' with Jamie Foxx...Hated it...Boring as HELL...Didn't wanna watch it, but it was a double feature at the drive-in and no one wanted to leave after Charlie And The Chocolate Factory... |
Quote:
I have wanted to see Stealth. But after what I've been hearing about it, I'm gonna wait till it comes out on video. |
High Tension again

oh gosh... where to start ? obvious casting errors ( jolie as farrell's mom... now there's an idea ), the horrible accents ( some sound irish, others scottish, jolie sounded like a transylvanian whore ), the jumping back in forth in the timeline which made it somewhat hard to follow, the clichéd peptalks to the troops before a battle... but you really should see it, just so i can get your opinion :)
i love angelina, but not even her nekkid could've saved this one for me :p did enjoy her in mr. and mrs. smith though. don't know why it got trashed so much. i found it fun. |

there we go. you haven't seen alexander because of all the bad hype, and i haven't seen house of the dead for the same reason. now it's official... i must see it.
fun night in view ;) |
