RV

Great song? Good show? Bad movie? What should be enjoyed and what should be avoided.

I wanted to ask the same thing.
Can't find it here.
Several very good films on that list. And some duds.

I believe Being Human is the film Lonewulf was looking for.

I liked this qoute of his:

What?

Excuse me?

You don't like MIB or MIIB? Two of the greates movies of ALL TIME?!?

[spoiler]PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS!!!


:glp-worship: :overkill:


(But I'm more of a Tommy Lee Jones fan, anyway...[/spoiler]

Ok, I liked MIB, but may FSM strike me down where I stand, I cannot say the same for MIIB. In fact, it is one of the only movies that I can think of that I know I've seen, but can't remember any of it - and in no way was my mind in any sort of altered state at the time.

When I watched "I, Robot" for the first time, I was almost constantly expecting Martin Lawrence to show up. I had a similar feeling when I saw Hugo Weaving for the first time as Elrond. He completely destroyed my preconceived notion of Elrond (while the other main characters hadn't, yet), and I swear he was going to say "Welcome to the Matrix, Frodo." I mean, I think Mr. Weaving is a decent actor, but I still can't understand why he couldn't make Elrond not feel like Agent Smith. With hindsight being 20/20, I think he would've been better suited to play Denethor. That's not to say that John Noble didn't do a fine job, though.

Well, I see my rant about Will Smith has turned into a rant about the casting of LOTR. Not to mention that the entire rant is somwhat off topic, anyway....

Do you mean "One Hour Photo?"

At any rate, I've never seen it.


That's it. I was thinking of "24 hour photoshops", not "1 hour photoshops".

I'm very bad with names, and I didn't feel like going out of my way to look it up.

Am I the only person in the world that liked Kevin Costner in Waterworld and The Postman? I think I am :)

I agree with MM, everytime I saw Elrond in LOTR, I could hear the words, "Mr. Anderson.." flash through my brain.

Yesterday I saw RV at the movie theater. I thought it was going ot be terrible. It was....for the first 20 miniutes but then it got pretty good. I would give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. I'd say it's worth seeing at the movies. Maybe renting it once or twice, but NOT buying it when it comes out on vid.
