Onhell said:If you want porn with a plot it's called the '70s. Or more recently the porn version of pirates of the Caribean, which was so successful it spawned a sequal that got a mainstream theater release in Cali and I think NY. It's got, from reviews I've read, but I do want to see it, don't get me wrong lol, good action, decent effects, STORY and of course lots of pirate sex
And, if I'm not mistaken, that was the first porn to be shot in HD... I almost bought that. -- i may hafta!
Oh, Onhell, is it 'drunken pirate sex'? would be awesome to see a drunk pirate and a pretzel maker go at it in porn.
I've been watching the FOX series Bones on netflix lately.... i always liked it, the whole cop and scientist solve everything. ....and some good Star Trek flicks have come on netflix, watching Star Trek II this morn!
Yes!!!!!!
So, the other day I watched Anvil! The Story of Anvil.
It has been called the real-life version of This is Spinal Tap and quite obviously, there are some deliberate parallels between the two films... only that in Anvil, everything is real.
The film follows the way of the eponymous, Toronto-based heavy metal band everybody has heard about but nobody has heard from. It starts with statements by people like Lars Ulrich, Slash and Scott Ian describing them as one of their biggest influences, and then cuts away to depictions of the members doing their day jobs while desperately trying to produce their new record. They eventually find a passionate but incompetent tour manager who patches up a European tour with big hopes but devastating results. At the low point, the band plays in a Romanian arena with a capacity of 10,000... with 174 people showing up. The film still ends on a high note with a successful gig in Japan (sound familiar?) and the band being able to produce their new album (though not being able to find a record company for it).
It is a movie about the losers of the music industry, at times hilarious, at other times quite sad, and very poignant, especially during the depictions of the deep friendship between the two band leaders. Anybody interested in heavy metal, or the music industry in general, should see it.

Sounds interesting Per, Anvil is a band that never gives up. I really admire that. I have only one CD, the classic Forged in Fire.
I am not laughing. I thought he was really cool in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3:10_to_Yuma_(2007_film).
Seen that one? It's with Christian Bale as well, one of my favourite 21st century actors.

Manufacturing methamphetmines, eh. Sounds similar to 'Weeds' which is a dark comedy on Showcase. I usually watch it on local TV half a season later.
Flash Gordon-the 80's flick. Campy? Yes. The special effects are cheesy, the plot is somewhat corny and cliche. But I love it. Cult classic, and great fun to watch! Queen tunes don't hurt the soundtrack, either.

I'm about to watch the original 'Punisher' with Dolph Lundgren.
I've just learned that George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series is starting its HBO series in early spring. I think Forostar and Anomica (if he still lurks on this forum) may be interested. Link.
Does anyone have early thoughts on the movie 'Expendables'? Action stars and more action stars.

Yes. I want to see it. Badly. I love 80s action films, and Jason Statham.
I'd like to see it as well! I think its going to be one of of those "low plot, high action" movies (which I love dearly).
My Flash Gordon DVD had the original 1936 Flash Gordon movie-serial on it. That was pretty fun to watch as well.

I watched a couple of movies this weekend which I thought worthwhile sharing. The first one is Dead Silence which came out several years ago and is by the same folks that made Saw. This movie is nowhere near as gorey, but still VERY creepy. The story is about a ventriloquist woman who is blamed by the town for the disappearance of a little boy. The town takes justice into their own hands and kill her. Soon after all the people that took part in the lynching and their families start to die in a similar fashion. Fast forward to present day and our protagonist receives a package... a ventriloquist doll, he leaves to get some groceries and in his abscence his wife is murdered seemingly by the doll. Not a spoiler here, but the dolls don't kill, this isn't a revamped Chucky... well almost. Turns out Mary Shaw, the ventriloquist, lives through her dolls and uses them as conduits, but it is her ghost, not the doll, that kills people. She appears in your dreams kinda like Freddy... All and all a very good movie witha brilliant soundtrack and only one REALLY cheesy/stupid moment that almost kills it, well it almost did for me.
The other movie I saw was Remember me with the dude that plays Edward in the Twilight movies, Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan. I initially had skipped this movie because from the previews it seemed it would be a movie about some emo pussy that does nothing but sulk and be moody and has a hot girl fall in love with him because he is "mysterious." I was half right. He is an emo pussy that is all moody and a girl falls in love with him, because he is mysterious. The cool part about the movie is that everyone calls him on his shit and tells him to grow up, that was refreshing to watch. The reason he is all sad is because he hasn't gotten over his older brother's suicide. As the movie progresses he learns that he has been a selfish pussy and has not realized that everybody has problems and just because they don't show it (like his father) doesn't mean they are not equally suffering. It was a surprisingly good movie and the ending (which is fucking AMAZING) takes the movie to a different level. Literally made it go from good movie to REALLY good movie.
