the french movie "the intouchables"

That main dude was really good in it.
I was happy to hear he's gonna be in that new X-Men.


As a Whedonite or whatever, this **** had me geeked:

This is a thread for gentlemen, good sir. Take that paltry analysis elsewhere.

 

[venom lyrix]

if you guys havent already check out the french movie "the intouchables" i saw it last year just a overall great flick and based on a true story..

One of my favorite films I've seen in a verrrry long time. Absolutely amazing

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Yeah I saw the Intouchables popped up on demand. I'll check when I have the chance.

Don't know if I mentioend it already but Robert Pattinson is really good in Bel Ami and the movie is pretty solid but I dunno maybe I'm just in to smashing Christina Ricci and Uma Thurman Period film btw.

 

[JCMojica24]

Starting up Blade Runner! Closing the laptop and taking the phone off so I can watch in peace. Will let y'all know my thoughts on it.

 

[iYen]

The soundtrack for intouchables is so good!

 

[iYen]

Who's going to be in the next xmen movie that was intouchables?

The black guy or the white guy?

 

[pabstblueribbon]

I would love to hear your guys thoughts on the Americans

 

[iYen]

Look I'm not bashing you just a little surprised... Generally speaking if your a movie fan (especially people that post in here regularly) the first 3 Star Wars should've been something viewed already without having to ask what the allure is but that's if you call yourself a movie fan. If your just a casual watcher, then I guess I can understand...

This makes no sense. Who determined these criteria of being a movie fan?

Why is there a criteria for enjoying movies?

I think the term you meant was movie elitist.

 

[iYen]

Thanks for the info cp and big j.

I've probably seen a bunch of star wars spoilers over the years without realizing it.

What's this guy's name?

He looks like the old guy from Lost.

The one who benard hates.
Why is there an altered version and what do you mean by "altered?"

Here is what the DVD's look like that you need to find. They have 2 disks I thing, one the OG, one is the altered version that you should never ever ever watch. You want the theatrical versions.

Thanks for the info.

What makes the altered version so unwatchable?

 

[hymen man]

Joe Pesci? Really?

 

[iYen]

Joe Pesci? Really?

The guy in the gif is joe pesci?

 

[Master Zik]

The guy who throws the old lady (if that's even a lady) out the car is Joe Pesci.

Who's going to be in the next xmen movie that was intouchables?
The black guy or the white guy?

Black guy, speculation that he might be Bishop.

 

[iYen]

I couldn't tell that that was joe pesci since I've only seen him in home alone.

He wears a beanie so I'm not familiar with joe's hairstyle.

 

[hymen man]

Wasn't trying to be rude.. but I just figured Pesci is a well known actor that his face is immediately recognizable

But you said you've only seen him in Home Alone.. that to me is a bigger problem!

Go watch Casino and Goodfellas.

NAOWWW!

The unaltered Star Wars DVDs are those he's listed. Lucas has refined (many believe for the worse) the original trilogy a few times, the 90s special edition and then again for the initial DVD release.

When it boils down to it, purists want the original trilogy unaltered. The DVDs above are as good as it gets right now. The Blu-ray sets all have the altered footage in it. There's a lot of charm lost when viewing the new versions of IV, V, and VI.

For a newcomer, watching the altered versions won't be a deal breaker. You won't notice apart from a few very key moments, where the effects look far too good for when the film was made.

More importantly, instead of fussing over which version to see, just see them. But watch them as they were released, not I-VI.

My girl digs the original trilogy and hates the prequels. . Keeper.

So you ain't seen Star Wars, and now he ain't seen Goodfellas or Casino?

No Raging Bull, Once Upon a Time in America, Lethal Weapon, My Cousin Vinny, A Bronx Tale? None of em?

RIP CPs blood pressure in the morning when he sees this.

No one has to see anything. Especially Star Wars.
Those movies are so blasted into everyone's faces from childhood on that if you watched it now, you'd feel like you already saw it before.

Lebowski, man. That movie is something else. Jeff Bridges is brilliant. He IS the Dude.

5 Things You Might Not Know About The Coens' Cult Classic 'The Big Lebowski'

4. The film hasn't just spawned a long-running festival, but also a bona-fide religion.

Famously, the cult has grown so large around the movie that it's now the center of a festival dedicated entirely to the film. Starting off in Louisville, Kentucky in 2002, four years after the film's release, Lebowski Fest generally involves a bowling night, a screening and a garden party, and has, over the last few years, spread to New York, Las Vegas, Austin, Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, Boston, London and L.A. (where Bridges himself made an appearance one year, performing his own version of Bob Dylan's "The Man In Me"). But the film's following doesn't stop there. In 2005, Thailand-based journalist and Lebowski-super fan Oliver Benjamin set up Dudeism, a religion/philosophy/lifestyle inspired by the central character of the movie. Officially called The Church Of The Latter-Day Dude, it's inspired by the way that The Dude lives his life, mixing elements of Taoism (minus its more metaphysical elements) with Epicurean philosophy. The religion (which might sound like a joke, but is taken seriously by many) includes Epicurus, Laozi, Buddha, Christ (another long-haired bearded guy in sandals, though not jellies, it should be said), Walt Whitman and Mark Twain as among their ancient prophets, and has spawned its very own holy book, The Dude De Ching. So far, the church has ordained 160,000 ministers, and you can do the same and find out more about it on their website. Bridges himself approves. The actor just published a book, "The Dude and the Zen Master," with Zen teacher Bernie Glassman, and at a Q&A, when asked what the Dude himself would thing of the growing church, he said "He'd be flabbergasted. And he would dig it."
