[Lady DeVille]

just a friendly reminder...you DO remember what it is I'm reminding you about...don't you?

(ALSO, A.I. opens today!!! *runs out to go and see it*)

[ReaperFett]

AI is Kubrick, never been a fan.

Besides theres a Buscemi film soon, more important:)

[Jeseth Cloak]

Fett you are not a fan because you like bad flicks. :p

[Nupraptor]

Kubrick is one of the best directors ever. :p

[Jeseth Cloak]

I agree! :D

[ReaperFett]

Full Metal Jacket, top films ever. Nothing else has really appealed

[Darth Viscera]

kubrick does indeed rock. especially dr. strangelove. heh, mineshaft space. silly commies.

[Nupraptor]

Is everyone forgetting his most popular film (which I personally consider a masterpiece), "A Clockwork Orange"?

[Darth Viscera]

haven't seen it.

[PraetoriteYominCarr]

It's an interesting movie, to say the least.



That is, if it's the one where the boy kills his mom with a ceramic...

[Darth Viscera]

a ceramic...?

[Nupraptor]

It's not his mother but yes, that's the film. :)

:: Whaps Viscera :: What're you waiting for? Go see it!

[Darth Viscera]

I beg your pardon, but stop whapping me! I'll pick it up tomorrow. it's midnight. only place i'm going is to bed.

[Rama Sha]

Eh Kubrick is overrated.....


I didn't really become intrested till Spilberg took over the chair.

[Keerrourri Sarrtarroa]

Kubrick is a pretty good director in my book.

The good (Dr. Strangelove, Full Metal Jacket, Clockwork Orange)

outweighs the bad (Eyes Wide Shut)

[Lady DeVille]

A.I was....depressing. :( I cried. What can I say, I'm a girl, girl's cry in movies. My nephews (14 and 16) got 'misty eyed'...I bet they were crying too. :lol:

It was a good movie, and its directed by STEVEN SPIELBURG, dimwits! But it was a Stanley Kubrick..something or other. Production? He, himself, is dead.

And all I have to say about Kubrick is....Eyes Wide Shut? That movie totally sucked! Maybe I should see some of his earlier works, but...man, what a horrible movie!

A.I. was good, I really liked it.

[Nupraptor]

Yeah, I've heard Eyes Wide Shut was really bad... I never bothered to see it.

[Jedi Rebel X]

I can't wait to see A.I. Yes, Eyes Wide Shut was a boring waste of time.

[Keerrourri Sarrtarroa]

Strangelove is one of my favorite movies....so funny, topical, and ahead of its time :)

[Roll Anderson]

Wasn't Eye Wide Shut like a semi-porn?

[Darth Viscera]

A.I. was....abstract. Too abstract. Maybe it's just that I missed the first 5-10 minutes of it, but my brain is still all rolled up into a cinnamon roll, trying to analyze every last scene. Info overload. I got the overall plot, I'm just still trying to figure out some of the details, like why the hell was an abandoned city filled with a research team, what is the temperature at which silicon becomes a liquid, and what year that movie took place in. I didn't really cry during the movie, although I started blinking a lot, but I don't think I detected any moisture in my eyes <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\"> ....well, maybe a bit.

Eyes Wide Shut was like a coffee house intellectual movie. It was....mas o menos.

Strangelove is great...perhaps in that it's so damned utterly cliche, which is rather funny.

And no, Eyes Wide Shut wasn't a semi-porn. The nude scenes are few and far between. Semi-porn is like what's on Cinemax at 1am, with the TV-MA DLVS (or whatever it is) rating.

[Lady DeVille]

Full Metal Jacket was good, I enjoyed what I saw of that movie...I saw the basic training bit, but not the rest of the war bit. But I liked it. ;)

I also liked the movie that was based on Heart of Darkness but I have blanked on the name of the movie...it has Martin Sheen in it as the main character....ARGH! Well, I liked that one too...Vietnam war movie (even though the war is not the basis of the movie, simply the backdrop).

Anyway, I liked A.I., and Visc, I was wondering what the scientists were doing in the abandoned city as well, but maybe it wasn't really as abandoned as it seemed. Just that it was restricted to mecca, not orga, right? I don't know...

[Darth Viscera]

Apocalypse Now. creepy movie.

Still, you expect to see certain things in a living city. Like amphibicopters, other sorts of transportation, people standing on the tops of buildings, pointing at things, etc. Like in the silicon-based lifeform scene.

[Nupraptor]

Just saw AI. I thought it was really, really good. I got a bit choked up during the end, but that's it.

Regarding the scientists: I think they were there to be secluded from everyone else, allowing them a bit more freedom in their work. Also, it's where the main coroporate building was, so they probably didnt want to abandon the equipment there. However, what I want to know is why it was restricted to Mecca?

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

Sorry I just saw this!! :(

Yes..I know what you are reminding me about. I will post very soon. PROMISE!!

Watch out..believe it or not....I've been angry over the last two days due to something personal with me...might be a little MNEH if you know what I mean!!

Again...sorry for the delay. Ummm Have to leave ....meeting some friends. See ya later.


**I just saw Moulin Rouge!! It was great!! Loved it! Ewan is a hottie and he can sing ;) **

[Lady DeVille]

Leia, good...I don't want to beat you up TOO badly. ;)

Visc, perhaps they were secluded so that people who opposed their work (flesh fairs, etc) wouldn't be able to find and or hinder them. So, I guess I agree with Nup. Why was it restricted to mecca? Perhaps they didn't want mecca finding them...Or....

*thinks*

(thinks more)

Maybe there had been terrorist threats against them, and they were afraid that any meccas that came to Manhattan would actually be walking BOMBS!

Okay, I didn't think hard enough, I know... (that was meant to be stupid, by the way)

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

Finally posted..I am Soooooo Sorry LD!!

I emailed you !! :(

Please forgive me!!

[Darth Viscera]

you can stuff your sorries in a sack mister!

btw do eyes have sweat glands? i could swear that they do.

[Lady DeVille]

Visc, they're called tear ducts. Really. They are.

And Leia, I'M SO UPSET AT YOU I COULD FORGIVE YOU IN AN INSTANT!

:) no worries, Solo, your butt is going to be kicked anyway... :)

[Darth Viscera]

Nope. not tear ducts. maybe it was just my eyelids which were sweating.

[Lucious Zaarin]

Boy, AI wasn't as good as you peoples made it out to be.It was pretty good, but Spielburg made a mistake using a nararator. When I hear a nararator, unless it's a person teling about their story (Green Mile, Private Ryan, etc), I want it to be a person, well, without a soul to their voice. Someone indifferent on the topic. Nuetral. But when you get Robin Williams to narrarate, you think back to all those other movies he was in way back. This was a serious movie, and I didn't want to mentally see the Genie or Peter Pan.

[Nupraptor]

When I think of Robin Williams, I tend to think of "What Dreams May Come". Not a humerous role in the least. I also got choked up the first time I saw that movie.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

::Smacks Viscera in the head::

Sssh YOU!!


LD: To add more to this mess is the following...I am having serious IE problems. *sigh* Windows keep shutting down on me and I get illegal messages. I tried updating it. No luck. I just hope the darn thing don't frell on me :(

And..one last thing..I will be away 7/14-7/21. Family trip..no pc access. Just thought you should know!

[Daemon Hyfe]

Hmm... Well, I went to see A.I over the weekend.

I was in the theatre at the part when David is seeing his mother for the "last time", and she has just woken up and they are both crying and he says: "I love you Mommy!"

Then a storm hit and the power went out in the theatre and I never saw the conclusion of the movie.

[Darth Viscera]

ROFLMAO!!!

[Lady DeVille]

*points and laughs at Hyfe* Oh, man, that sucks.

Zaarin, or Lucious (who names their son/daughter lucious!?), or whoever, I thought Robin Williams only did the voice over on the one part, at Dr. Know, or Dr. Who, or whoever the Doctor was who knew everything.

I liked it. so...MNEH! :p
