I actually...-=cough=- liked the first XxX. I have yet to see the second one though. Now that that is off my chest, I liked Mr. and Mrs. Smith alot, I may have said that already. and Chicken run is a classic, anyone brave enough to work with stop-motion animation rocks, I guess it took like 2 years to film that movie.

the wedding crashers is ridiculously funny. its both slapstick and dry humor. i was laughing so damn hard, i didnt think it would be that funny but its better than Old School.

i never saw chicken-run.

my mom wanted to go see that movie.

uh...
i love monty python, my parents and i always used to watch that on PBS back in the day when they repeated it like what, 5 years ago? ah well.

eric idle is great.

i just got the jetsons DVD set today, im watching it right now. its funny!
i saw the 1960's version of THe Ladykillers last night with the guys from "the pink panther" you kno w the guy who played clouseau and the guy who played inspector dreyfus? those actors...it was a good movie! oh and i love the pink panther movies. and the cartoons.

that was a pretty crazy movie, KIDs I was traumatized after I saw half a man scoot himself across a subway car on a skateboard..singing "IIIII AIN'T GOT NO LEGS!" -=clanks money=-

Yeah that was crazy..... I also just saw once agian the Omen.... Good movie..... I have to revisit those old time classics to value for what they were..... And those movies used more of our own imaginations rather than all that gory #### they show nowadays.....

I've never seen "The Omen" I've always heard it was good, I do like how these older movies did use more of your imagination and feeling. these days it's all about computer graphics, which half the time take you out of the movie. it's so unrealistic and annoying. they try so hard to make this enviroment for you to be in for 2 hours, only to be ruined by the computer graphics. (although they are getting better day by day)
Kill Bill 2 has one moment where I felt genuinely claustrophobic, when she is placed in the coffin and buried. tarantino doesn't even use film for like 5 minutes. I'm sure he does, actually but it doesn't seem like it, it's pitch black on the screen and it's extremely dark in the theater, and you're right there with kiddo. stuck in this coffin. wanting to scream. it was a wild feeling because that's totally something you don't ever feel in a movie. a complete sense of helplessness. and he conveyed that sense in such an awesome way.

Yeah man I totally agree.... The 70's Amytiville Horror was another great classic.... I still need to watch the remake of it..... I still also haven't watched Kill Bill..... 1 or 2.... One day I will....

well...god dammit. I guess I just assumed everyone saw KB 1 and 2. Sorry. Didn't mean to ruin anything there.

It's cool..... I am not that kind of person where if you talk about it it ruins it for me...... I don't care.... But as of now I won't see Kill Bill probably until next year..... It just hasn't appealed to me..... I am still trying to catch up with some older movies.....

Smell the Vapors · Post by **Smell the Vapors** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 11:59 am

when you say older movies, which ones do you have in mind?

draven · Post by **draven** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 12:08 pm

Like pre 2004..... Not like 1950's films or stuff like that.... SO far I am every where with movies.... I just saw the Omen and today I am going to see a comedy standup act by Carlos Mencia..... SO if you have any suggestions let me know.....
