What's this about LV's return to RM? I know you've been around less since the new job. Did you quit that job or something?

No, I started posting many years ago when I was like 14. Then I left when I was like 17 or something. I just came back a year or two ago.

48" UHD

The first movie I'm going to watch on blu ray is Monsters

awesome

LOVE Southland Tales.

I prefer Donnie Darko, though I don't expend you to agree on that. Either way, Southland Tales is excellent.

Any opinions on The Box?

The worst of the three. But I still enjoyed well enough for what it is. It's uneven. A better idea maybe than execution but it's not a bad movie by any stretch. There's stuff to like, for sure, but it's a bit of a chore and not as gripping or tense as it should be. It's the only on of Kelly's films that I've seen just once, so my memory is fuzzy. I recall Diaz being just fucking terrible but all of the smaller players being great (Langella, Rebhorn, Holmes).

Hmm. I have been skipping The Box in my queue for a while now, perhaps I can let it go.

THREAD INTEGRITY PLEASE

LV, what are your opinions of Richard Kelly, specifically The Box? Should trag drop it from his queue?

Hey LV, I'm watching Resident Evil: Afterlife right now (very underrated). How hot is Ali Larger in this?!

I didn't see this until now. I've only seen Donnie Darko.

Haha, on SyFy? I was watching it for a while too. Definitely a good movie.

Yeah, was flipping through and saw it was on

hi lv...i came across this and was wondering if you still felt this way?

Nope, I feel the opposite now.

do you like gladiator at all? i haven't seen either in at least ten years, and i'm wondering how i would react to them now

I do like it, though I liked it a lot more when I was younger. I think the action setpieces hold up very well, and it has some great performances from a great cast, but a lot of it feels...lightweight? It's a little silly.

I do think the contrast between the theatrical and extended cuts is interesting, though. The former is pretty lean, and plays like a revenge-fueled action movie. The latter is almost a political thriller, full of backdoor machinations and talky tangents. I'm not sure if one or the other is better; they're just very different.

I loved Braveheart when I watched it semi-recently. I thought it had aged much better than Gladiator. I love Mel.

Do they cut off the whole package (dick and nuts) in one swoop during a castration or do they just do one or the other (and if so which one)?
