if you missed "Lost in Translation" when it was in theaters, shame on you. you should know better than that.
but on february 3rd, it's released on dvd so you have no more excuses. i'll be in line will you? i hope so.
seriously, watch it. you deserve it.
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am
amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record:
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet
had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him
of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are
now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

I want to see that now, actually. I was reading about it yesterday. I was also reading about this movie called "thirteen". Have you seen
this Dobs? it looks quite good. Either way, I'm going to rent it. I think it came out today.

have i SEEN it? twice.
it's by sophia coppolla. francis ford's daughter. she was also married to spike jonze [being john malkovich, adaptation, and many of
your favorite music videos].
she directed "the virgin suicides" which was one of the best directorial debuts in the last ten years.
to say that "lost in translation" is visally stunning would be an understatement. and the plotline/dialogue? top shelf. pairing silver
screen vet bill murray with up and coming star scarlett johansson ["girl with the pearl earring"] was incredible to watch.
trust me. this movie is damn near flawless, right down to the last scene.

Indeed. Bill Murray is amazing as always, even despite the fact that it is pretty different from his usual off the wall antics. A lot more subtle, and
an excellent movie all around.

I'm sorry, I was referring to the movie "thirteen" that I read about yesterday.
However, your praise for "lost in transtaltion" is enough for me to give it a rent, for sure. Plus, I love Bill Murray. And he did just
win a golden globe for this role.

no matter how much hype will [almost indefinitely] surround "the day after tomorrow", i'm boycotting it.
even though it does star jake gyllenhaal ["donnie darko"], i hate the movie's director, Roland Emmerich.
reason:
he has made the same movie, over and over and over [ad infintum]. he's the director that brought us independance day, godzilla, and now
the day after tomorrow. notice a pattern? he likes to blow up landmarks and cities. if we didn't notice the first time around, we will this
time.
this is a guy who gets mind-boggling budgets, but keeps doing the same thing. some people might say "stick with what works", but if those
people saw godzilla, they'd question whether or not it actually does work.
in summation:
another big hype movie with alot of eye-candy and media-attention that's bound to disappoint.

Godzilla will always remain one of the worst movies of all time, imo. I did like Independance day, though. Even though I know it sucks. Sometimes you
just get caught up in a moment and you don't care if a movie is shitty or not, as long as you are having fun.

no, he's doing a re-make of king kong. close enough.
the movie you should all be anticipating is "where the wild things are". a cinematic adaptation of the children's book by spike
jonze.

Peter Jackson is doing King Kong, I think. And I also remember hearing that Andy Serkis (Gollum) is playing the giant ape.
Really? "Where the wild things are". I think most children read that book when they were young. That should be interesting.

since you guys are all lord of the rings freaks, i figured i'd let you in on one of the funniest movie critics ever, Neill Cumpston. this is
his review for the third movie.
CAUTION! FOUL LANGUAGE WITHIN.
HOBBIT-MAN: THE KING RETURNS
Whenever cool movie series get to the third movie they suck dicks like they’re trying to become Emperor of Dicksuck-ylvania. George Lucas had Star
Wars, and then Empire Kicks Ass, and then all of a sudden it’s Planet of Furry Faggoty fuckheads. Then he had to make two more to feed the Suck Demon
that was holding his children hostage, and those movies went beyond gay to where they’re paying old people to take a dump on them.
Even this summer, with MATRIX: SUDDENLY GAY and TERMINATOR: I LOVE COCK, the Rule of the Suck-y Third Movie got re-proven. If the third X-Men movie
had come out this summer it probably would have been some crippled crock of crap where Wheelchair Charlie traps Fuck Yeah Wolverine in an illusion
mind-trap where Wolverine thinks he’s a time traveler from a hundred years ago romancing Meg Ryan in right-now New York. Of course, the X-Men movie
would try to redeem itself in the third act by having Wolverine realize it’s a mind-illusion and cut Meg’s head off and play dodgeball with it, but it
would be too late and here comes my extra large Sprite at the screen.
But guess what? One movie series turned that rule on its head. One 3-movie series said, “Wait a minute, we’re going to make the 3rd movie SO tits it
will make the FIRST two movies look gay.”
I just saw HOBBIT-MAN: THE KING RETURNS and that’s the movie I was talking about in the last paragraph. This movie will make you forget that if you
stick a knife in your belly you’ll bleed to death so do not bring a knife to this movie.
It’s also, thank fucking God, LOUD. Even if you bring an iPod so you can listen to VH during the Elf parts you’ll take it off because I swear to
fucking Roth you do NOT know where the next big bang is going to come from, or when something big is going to crunch someone’s skull while you picture
that person getting their skull crushed is really your neighbor upstairs that plays Dido all day or that dude at the Starbucks who’s always reading
and looking all smart.
Oh yeah, the movie is also 3 hours and 20 minutes, and I think it’s almost four hours if you sit through all the credits (it was all pencil sketches
of the characters, which I think means they ran out of money). So if you bring some chick who’s all like, “I have a spinning class tomorrow” or “I’m
thirsty” tell her to go home and watch Gay Dudes and the Straight Guy because this movie takes fucking commitment. I saw the one dude in front of me
who was with this girl, and the President of Warner Brothers came out and said, “This movie is three hours and twenty minutes,” and before I could
say, “So what, gaylord” the chick says to the dude she’s with that she has to GO. And he LET her go because this movie kicks so much ass you can SENSE
it even before it starts. And this chick was a stone fox, and he probably could have made out with her, but he was like, “I’m going make out with this
movie,” that’s how good it is. See ya, hottie.
This movie starts with the origin of Golem – that creepy guy who looks like Iggy Pop and wears Tarzan pants and wants the invisible-ring. He’s still
on a quest with the two hobbits - Rudy from the film RUDY and Fredo - to throw the ring into a volcano (this is like a serious version of JOE VERSUS
THE VOLCANO). The ring is also evil but you keep thinking, while you watch it, that someone should put it on and check out some boobs. I have a
feeling those scenes will be in the DVDs.
At the same time, the two other midget-men and the giant hippies have seriously fucked up that one evil guy’s tower (he was Count Duke in Star Wars:
Every Cock in the Universe Up My Ass Part II), and they hook back up with Magneto, and also that chick with the bow and arrows and finally the Giant
Midget with the Axe. Oh, and also that I Don’t Want to be the King/I Am Destined to Be the King Dude is with them, and he has this whole other story
where he pretty much decides to be the King because, I mean, pussy for miles. This is where I started getting really confused, though, because they
start talking about kingdoms and alliances and there’s a lot of lines like, “Rohan shall ride!” and “Gondor still stands!” and “Flabadan Son of Rectum
must wear the mantle of Bloggith!” and also there’s some shit with the elves that’s like being in a fucking candle store for twenty minutes.
But the movie is only doing this to set up the BATTLE OF SHIT-YOUR-PANTS, which isn’t the actual name of the battle but SHOULD be because you will
shit stuff you did not eat when you see it.
It all has to do with the fact that one of the midget-men takes this orb from the bad guy and he looks into it and sees the glowing eye’s plan (or
part of it – something about a tree dying and Enya music playing). So he and Magneto go to this huge white city where the king is being a dick and
just eating dinner while every puke-ugly bad-ass on the planet starts surrounding it, ready to open a Wal-Mart that only sells ball-stomp. There’s
this one medium-sized battle in a city that is like the last line of defense for the Big-Ass White City and it’s pretty cool, with a lot of
head-crunching and these huge flying bat demon things that I swear to God grab horses and the dudes riding them and fuck them up from the floor up.
They’re really loud, too, and a lot of chicks and older people were covering their ears.
Meanwhile, Rudy and Fredo and Golem are getting closer to the volcano, and Golem makes Fredo hate Rudy, and then tricks Fredo into a cave where
there’s a giant spider and fuck that was really scary because even in real life giant spiders are bad news.
Someone told me that all of the spider stuff actually happens in the second book in the series, and that they had to tweak some of the stuff that
happens in the books to make the movies work. You know what? Good. Books suck. They used to be good back when people didn’t have movies and TV and
dressed like Davey Crockett. People also used to ride horses and drink tea, but now we have cars and Sprite. Move the fuck on. Peter Jackson did an
amazing job adapting these books, and now the movies are so kick-ass that some people are going to go back and READ the books, which wouldn’t have
happened if he’d just filmed the books exactly as they are. Happy now, smarty?
Let me give you an example of how NOT to make books into movies:
This summer a huge bucket of farts came out called LEAGUE OF ADVENTURE GENTLEMEN. It was about how a bunch of characters from old-timey books got
together and fucked up bad guys. And NO ONE SAW IT. Why?
First, they picked a bunch of characters like Invisible Man and Mr. Hyde and Dracula-Woman and Huck Finn. These are all characters from books that
were written five hundred years ago. Huck Finn was actually written before writing. These are the kind of books they make you read in summer school
but you’re all like, “fuck you, I’m going to play Sonic on my Sega” and you totally complete all the levels by August. So who the fuck is going to go
see a movie about characters and people they’ve never heard of (the movie acts like you’re supposed to know who these people are)? Like I said before,
MOVIES are the new books, so how about this for a movie (I even thought of a good title):
TEAM 1970’S FOOT-TO-ASSERS
The movie opens: A cult killer tries to assassinate Chauncey Gardiner, the President of the United States. Before the brainwashed assassin dies he
gasps the word, “Cyrus” and takes a poison pill.
Senator John “Bluto” Blutarsky forms a super-team to infiltrate New York and take down the “Cyrus” cult. This team is made up of “Bruce” (from ENTER
THE DRAGON), “Dirty” Harry Callahan, a now-teenaged Regan MacNeill (who is a stone boner machine and also has devil powers), “Quint” from JAWS, who’s
upper torso washed ashore after the shark attacked him, and who has now been made bionic by Oscar Goldman and OSI, and finally Beau “The Bandit”
Durville, who’s driving his Trans Am.
They enter New York with the Bandit driving like a fucking maniac, and Dirty Harry shooting people out the window and Regan making people’s heads
explode and shit. Wow!
They get to the center of the Cyrus Cult headquarters in the middle of Central Park and confront Cyrus. He’s controlling his subjects with a glowing
Chevy Malibu. Bruce goes totally Jackie Chan on everyone while Harry and the Bandit battle their way to the car. Quint dies bringing down all the cult
killers, and they drive off with the Malibu. They also find out that Cyrus was trained by the Parallax Corporation.
Back at the White House, they get their next assignment. They must take down the Parallax Corporation, which is being run by Gregory Marmalarde. They
are creating an Army of brainwashed super-killers at their facility at Crystal Lake. These new killers are indestructible and a step above the cult
killers of Cyrus. For this phase of the mission they are joined by CIA agent Vincent J. Ricardo (from THE IN-LAWS) and off they go.
They blast their way into Parallax Headquarters, only to find their way blocked by the new generation of super-killers – hockey-mask wearing
motherfuckers who have all undergone the “Vorhees treatment”. Bruce and Regan take on the killers, while Harry and Vincent go for Marmalarde. That’s
when he reveals his newest, greatest killer – New York taxi driver Travis Bickle, who’s undergone the “Vorhees treatment” and is a virtual arsenal of
different guns, knives – all of which appear from his wrists, chest, even eyes. Bickle killed Marmalarde’s frat brother Douglas Neidermeyer in
Vietnam. Harry dies fighting Bickle, but not before killing Marmalarde. Ricardo searches the Parallax files, only to find that Parallax is only a tiny
part of a much bigger, much more evil power – the Thorne Corporation, run by Damien Thorne. He has a huge facility in the Nevada desert, near Area 51.
Their final mission is to deliver the Chevy Malibu to Area 51. The Chevy contains a weapon which can defeat Thorne’s final plan.
Thorne’s compound is patrolled and protected by driverless trucks from DUEL and a bunch of those devil limousines from THE CAR. Two teams are sent in
– The Bandit, driving his Trans Am with Regan and Bruce, and another driver named “Kowalski”, who will drive the Malibu along with Ricardo.
They battle their way through the devil trucks and demon limos until they penetrate Thorne’s headquarters. He’s got every character from every
boring-ass indie film in the last twenty years strapped to posts in this huge chamber full of leather-y ALIEN eggs. The eggs are hatching and putting
face huggers on the douche bags from WALKING AND TALKING and SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPES and CHASING AMY and everyone from every Henry Jaglom film ever
made and killing them.
There’s nothing anyone can do – they have to stand and watch while all of these characters are slowly and horrible killed before our eyes, and they
hatch into Aliens. That’s when “Kowalski” opens the trunk of the Malibu to reveal: ROY NEARY, JR. This is the half-human/half-alien offspring of Roy
Neary from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND and he starts going outer space whup-ass on the aliens along with Bruce Lee. The Bandit looks at the
camera, winks, and smiles. (There can be a lot of shots during the closing credits of The Bandit cracking up).
Ricardo and Regan work their way to Thorne’s headquarters where there’s this huge demon battle between Regan MacNeill and Damien Thorne that will make
the audience go, “We need new words for ‘HOLY FUCKING SHIT’”.
__________________________________________________ _
See? Use characters from movies thirty years ago, instead of from books five hundred years ago. And by the way, that’s only using characters from 70’s
films. I also have plans for an 80’s team of ass-kickers and a 90’s team. Everyone who was into movies from before 1969 is dead, and we’d actually
better hurry with the 70’s thing, now that I think of it. Also, I totally copy-wrote this with the Writer’s Society, and I also know a 400 pound man
who will man-rape anyone who makes this movie without me.
Okay, back to HOBBIT-MAN, although at this point it’s just wall-to-wall awesome. The Battle for the White Mountain City has trolls and elephants and
catapults and a battering ram that looks like a dragon head on fire. Also, earlier Gandalf scares off the flying bats-things with his glowing staff.
In the battle for the White Mountain City Gandalf just runs around giving orders. How about turning the bad guys into babies or something with his
staff? But that would actually cut down on the ass-kicking so, actually, fine.
The I Don’t Want to Be The King Guy gets a bunch of ghost warriors to fight, and that’s just awesome when it happens, and also the elf chick with the
bow takes down an elephant all by herself, and the Giant Midget keeps killing people with his axe.
Then when THAT battle’s over and you’re thinking, “Just air comes out when I spooge now” they stage a whole OTHER battle at Evil Town to distract the
orks so Golem and Rudy and Fredo can get to the volcano. And I won’t reveal what happens in the volcano except to say it involves Fredo and Rudy
getting right to the very edge, but at the last second Fredo turns evil and decides not to throw the ring in, and puts it on instead so he turns
invisible, buy Iggy shows up and bites off Fredo’s finger and Iggy falls with the ring into the lava and Evil Town is completely destroyed. You will
have to find out the rest for yourselves. I hate spoilers.
You can totally leave at this point but there’s an extra half hour of everyone relaxing and going home and being happy and I guess they put that in so
you can realize your pants are choked with poop from all the battle scenes, so thanks.
There’s also an Annie Lennox song over the closing credits. ????? How about Led Zeppelin’s “Ramble On”, which is where they got the name Golem, or
“Ain’t Talking ‘Bout Love” by Van Halen?
Peter Jackson has proved with these films that he is the man to bring A-TEAM to the screen. Five stars. Best movie of the next four years.

i saw the league of extraordinary gentlemen... i have to say it was terrible. like one of the worst movies ive seen in a long time.
thanks for the list Chris.
oh btw i saw "Night of the Living dead" last week.. it's a horror flick frome the 60s where dead people come back to life and
kill/eat everyone. it's classic. but the best part is that all the main characters die in the end. yay!

yeah, sorry again for the profanity. i would have edited it out, but i'm a big fan of freedom of speech.
also, anyone who thinks that this is just some idiot who reviews movies for fun, notice the phrase "...the President of Warner Brothers came out
and said.......", and this review was released before the movie was. this means that this guy is in some way respected enough to be invited to
the media premiere. my guess is that he's a respected movie critic who has created the reviewer "Neill Cumpston" as a way to have
fun.
if you're interested, he reviews other movies too......
