Office Space absolutely *killed* me.

And well, if truth be told about funniest movies, I am really easy when it comes to laughing. Shrek and Toy Story are genious, especially with the music bits in there.

I omitted Borat, and I cried all the way through that one. It is the *best* worst movie in the world. I purposefully went when it first came out and tried to avoid ALL talk about it. It is awful and stupendous. And painfully funny.

1. Favorite movie genre: Comedies,Drama

2. Three funniest movies of all time: Borat, Kenny (Aussie movie that was apparently a hit at the Toronto Film Festival, or so it was reported here), This Is Spinal Tap.

3. Three best animated movies of all time: For animation I'd say Cars, for story & script I'd say Toy Story, for all round geniusity I'd say Spirited Away.

4. Favorite movie snack? Lollies. :drool:

5. Theater or home? Theatre. Cos I never get out to go to one. :cry:

Huge Miyazaki fan, me. Luckily for me, it's something most of my family enjoys as well.
Might as well enjoy it, because in my house, they're gonna hafta see it anyway.

I've heard of Kenny, but haven't seen it. What's the story?

Well 'Kenny' is a specialist in portaloos. It's filmed documentary-style, but what makes it great is his natural charm, his one-liners that have become part of the Australian lexicon ('There's a smell in here that'll outlast religion' 'I'm busier than a one-armed bricklayer in Baghdad') & the fact that it's such a feel-good movie as well as so hilarious. (and it's surprisingly not as gross as you'd think, given the subject matter)

*puts on to-see list*

Just saw The Last Mimzy and just because I enjoy Lewis Carroll AND Pink Floyd, I loved this little sci-fi feature.

For those who must know more... go here!

If you are into cult, off the beaten path and/or pop culture flicks, you might enjoy some of this guy's reviews and picks.

Anyone else see Death of a President?


I did last night, but will reserve comment for later.

I have a few edits to make. Ones in italics are the changed ones.


Favorite Movie Genre: Sci-Fi or Comedy

3 Funniest movies of all time: Tenacious D in: The Pick Of Destiny, Office Space, UHF

3 best animated movies: Cars, Kronk's New Groove, Chicken Little

Favorite movie snack: Most anything that carries the name Sour Patch, and a root beer

Theatre or home: Theatre was the best place to see Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and eventually will be for Pirates of the Carribean 3: At World's End. Home for anything else.

B)

I'm making plans for POTC3... even if I am a ninja lover by nature. :ph43r:

I'm going to see it with my friends for my birthday sometime in June, after we finish final exams.

That sounds too fun!

I wonder if they're going to make another Master and Commander movie? It's a natural series based on the books. Love 'em!

They're making the game FarCry into a full-length movie. Now, keep in mind, the setting of the game was tropical. The director is some German guy, and he's already begun filming... in Canada. Because hey, nothin' says "palm trees and beaches" like a Vancouver frost.

Well, we'd buy it in America anyway. :rolleyes: :lol:

What's that supposed to mean? :angry:

Americans are not picky when it comes to historical accuracy, as long as the plot is decent and the action fast-paced.

E.g. Braveheart with kilts in the wrong era.

Oh. For a minute, I thought you were insulting Ameri- HEY!!! :angry:

Not insulting, the box office doesn't lie.

(and notice i said WE americans :lol: )

I did not see any "we"!!! :angry:

Slow down speedbump. ;)

Oh. Well I feel like an ass.

So, as a way of apologizing, :fonz: +5.

*Risks losing major cool points...* squeee!



And now for a new poll:

Which is the best movie on the briny deep? (pick 2)

a. Titanic
b. Master and Commander
c. Pirates of the Caribbean (the series of them)
d. Muppet Treasure Island
e. Old Man and the Sea
f. The Life Aquatic
g. The Hunt for Red October
h. Jaws
i. Das Boot
j. Cast Away

You missed Dead Calm.


Yay for the Muppets! :D

Out of those? I'd go with Red October and Priates...

For realism, Master and Commander FTW. (except for the MOB scene they did a great job)

For overall Crazy-Go-Nuts action, Pirates Of The Carribean series all the way!!

:hail:

Steve Zizzou or however you spell his name :rockon:


What about Mutiny On The Bounty? :D

Okay, how about this:

For spoofs, Spaceballs or Robin Hood:Men In Tights?

Oh, Spaceballs without question.

This has nothing to do with me being an SF fan. Really.

Spaceballs in that case.


< also "not" a SF fan


I'm headed to see POTC Friday night!

*practices swashing buckles n such*

Last King of Scotland.
aka Mr. Tumnus Makes Some More Very Poor Choices

:rofl:

:fonz: +2

JD gets these new fandangled cool points for going to the cinema? :P



Godfather, Forest Gump or Goodfellas?

All 3 were well done but I guess I gotta go with Godfather.
