This is real: Seth Rogen took to the Senate and continued being a voice for Alzheimer research. While still funny, Rogen was serious and made the case for his mother in law and others like her known. Check it out -

You know the sad thing is all but 2 senators left before the committee began... One ******* even took a pic, tweeted it out, & then left... :smh:

Look at those empty seats.

Tribute reel for Alfonso Cuaron. The films used Solo con tu pareja, A Little Princess, Great Expectations (What an under appreciated movie), Y tu mama tambien, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men, & Gravity.

For those that care, the music used in the reel King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King, Brian Eno - By this River, & Steven Price - Gravity. If Gravity starts winning all the technical awards, I think we might see Cuaron win best director & possibly Bullock win best actress.

Took a couple days to watch a few movies. Since the last post I've watched

-Blue Velvet
Pretty good actually. Relatively normal for a David Lynch movie. :lol:
-Dog Day Afternoon
I went through a short time when I was younger watching a lot of Pacino. This was just one of the movies I never got around to seeing the whole thing. Great movie. Pacino's character was great.
-Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
I haven't seen too many westerns. So I don't really know how to rank it but the movie was really good. I really like Paul Newman as an actor.
-Room 237
I love videos like this on Youtube with people's interpretations, so I loved this whole film.
-Sexy Beast
Pretty good movie. Wasn't expecting it to be what it was. But I enjoyed it. Great movie to just throw on and watch with friends.
-The Crow
I only watched it because I heard it was good and I remember seeing it on VHS trailers as a kid. It wasn't bad at all, but it was VERY 90s. Loll
-Upstream Color
Very interesting movie. At my local art museum we have a small section for films but they're films shown on three separate screens. When the scene where the young lady is on the bed, towards the beginning, the camera puts emphasis on her hands and feet, I immediately thought of that section in the museum and how great it would be on there.
-Filth
Extremely entertaining. Another great movie to watch with friends.
-Syrup
Not very good. Lol. I liked the concept because I love marketing and stuff like that, but the movie was just wasn't good. Poorly written. Poorly acted.

I'm gonna watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Almost Famous, Warrior, The Fighter, and The Game over the next week. :pimp:

That's what I plan on doing. Might have to do a coin toss between 12 Years and DBC. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Sheeet, you better watch 'em both... 12 years is a great movie & DBC is a solid movie driven by great performances. Not to take away from the performances in 12 Years though because one just hates Fassbender. Ejiofor & Nyong'o deliver outstanding performances that are definitely Oscar worthy. If it weren't for Matthew McConaughey's performance in DBC, I'd be strongly pulling for Ejiofor. If anyone wins outside of either of these 2 I'll be mad as heck. Pulling for Nyong'o also...
 
Been putting off watching This Is 40 since, as a pretty big fan of Knocked Up, I had a feeling I'd be disappointed. Finally checked it out on HBO last night and I was, in fact, disappointed. It had its moments, but overall was too long, too slow and too depressing. The first couple Apatow movies -- 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up -- managed to mix in some serious moments and still be very funny. His latest films have gone too far in the serious direction IMO. He's gotten too ambitious in wanting to make Albert Brooks-esq. dramadies. I think there actually is a good movie somewhere in This is 40 if it was about 30-40 minutes shorter and edited differently.

I think maybe Mr. O said this a while back, but Apatow needs to hook up with a good editor who can reign him in and get him back to making the kind of movies that really made him a household name.

Man...this hit on all of the superfilm fan in me, or that I've seen from time to time. I don't even especially like The Shining, like that, but this was would've been the most fascinating docu-w/e I saw last year, if it wasn't for Act of Killing.

I'm gonna watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Since I don't feel like putting anymore thought into it, Kiss Kiss has been my #1 since I saw it. :smokin

I though This Is 40 was enjoyable, but not really funny..Definitely not up to previous Apatow standards..I felt like the freeloading dad character damn near ruined the whole movie..I just couldn't get my head around a guy that puts his family into financial trouble to give his bum of a father money..Especially one who, literally, never pays him back a dime..It just seemed too far fetched to me..

it was straight but i'd like it a lot more if it wasn't billed as a quasi sequel to KU

I actually had to look myself up. :lol: Yeah, This is 40 just goes on forever, and there's so much that felt like deleted scenes that got stuck in. It's just...the worst instincts from Funny People got worse for this. And the title is just awful. It has the exact same problem that Girls did, where everyone got pissed to find that this naked chubby white girl and her privileged friends were supposed to 'represent this generation of women.'

The This is 40 family are so not a normal family at all, that people went in expecting something universal and found a white creative-money family with rich people problems, and just ugly attitudes, and it turned damn near everyone off immediately. They just needed to cut some of the jokes, that really, really, really weren't funny. And the ones that were, they decided to run into the ground. And some of the subplots that were the most pointless wastes, like that Megan Fox and Charlyne thing. And they needed to name it Rich People Problems or something.

There were a lot of good things in it. Megan Fox was actually good. Melissa McCarthy had some scenes. Albert Brooks. The bj scene. :lol: I would just never recommend anyone with a pulse watching it.

^ That's the way I felt about Wolf Of Wall St. Best part in the movie was Matthew McConaughey's scene... The rest of the movie was lets show excess, then sex, excess, then sex, excess, sex, excess sex, some more excess, & finally another sex scene & then let's show Leo have a seizure, downfall, & them boom fini.

how about both,

I'm watching both. Starting off with DBC first :smile:
 
Man, Matthew McConaughey played the role of a partying trailer park cowboy to a T. :x
Seriously, watching this there were parts where I could have mistaken him for one of buddies' dad or grandpa. Here in North Texas there his type roam around except most that I have met aren't as homophobic :lol:
His acting and his character hit close to home, literally and figuratively. It's :smokin

Oh and Jared Leto :wow:

Great.
 
:lol: @ Bacon. That was really good.

Back in the day that would've been a super bowl worthy quality commercial.
