Clearly he didn't know about the laws "Thou Shalt Not Mention The Queen's Private Parts." and "Thou Shalt Not Joketh About Thy Disabled Child."

Yes,I know laws probaly aren't written like the 10 Commandments.

I believe he broke the law of decency once too often...Besides, he's not all that funny...And if the only laugh you can get is the uncomfortable "Should I really be laughing at this?" type, then you're not really a comedian...*Shrug*...Just my two penneth, and I can laugh at most comedians...But not if that's what you've got to do...

Um...I'll let you know what I think of A Good Day To Die Hard later...My excitement builds to fever pitch...Truly...

Following up Jaws with the director's cut of Das Boot today. I guess I will have to find another ocean based movie for tomorrow to make it a trifecta. Maybe Oceans 11?

...You could always watch the entire of Seaquest DSV... ...So Schneider, you got yourself a bigger boat then?...

I just found 1 youtube channel with 10 or 11 series of Mock The Week.

And another with some QI,Would I Lie To You and Russel Howard's:Good News.

AND 4oD have every episode of 8 out of 10 cats from series 10 to 15,including 8 Out Of 10 Cats does Countdown.

So if any of you care about any of these shows,I'll link them to you.

A Good Day To Die Hard...

Oh dear... ...Oh very dear...*Sigh*...

No...Just...No...Don't...

Did you watched the German version of Das Boot? I think it's better than the English dubbed version. Of course, I knew some German back when I first watched it. It was awesome to mentally translate the English subtitles into German then listen to see if I got them right . . .

It remains one of my favorite submarine movies ever.

More recently I finished watching the four episodes of Run. It's exclusive to Hulu Plus and is a British drama. Very gritty, and each episode focuses on a single character, all interlinked. The first, Carol, is a mother of two grown boys who, without her knowledge, kill a stranger in a fit of rage on the street. Carol is scraping to get by, supporting the two sons, and watching them repeat the same abusive behavior she endured from her ex husband (their father). When she realizes their crime, her first instinct is to protect them, but then she wrestles with what is the right thing to do? During all of this, she steals from the (?) catalog order company she works for, and sells the stolen merchandise to a young Asian girl.

The second episode revolves around this young Asian girl, Ying, whom we find is an illegal immigrant struggling to pay off the debt to the man who brought her to London. She does so by selling black market merchandise, especially phones (which strongly resemble Apple's iPhones, of course) and bootleg DVDs. One of her disgruntled customers is a (barely) recovering addict named Richard. When Ying tries to escape the coyote who brought her over, a chain of violence follows her.

The third episode is about Richard's struggle to reconcile with his estranged daughter. He is caught on the street during an anti-drug sweep, and though he is clean, his history causes him trouble and gets him kicked out of the shelter where he has been staying. He finds shelter in an abandoned car (he finds an ID in the car for a Katerina Wolowicz, our next character). As he tries to prove his worth to his ex-wife and daughter, Richard has to confront his demons and his past.

In the fourth episode, we meet Katerina, who is another illegal immigrant from Warsaw, whose boyfriend was involved in a ring selling European women as brides for Asian men (mostly Indian and Pakistanis) so they can get their resident applications approved. Katerina finds out the truth about her boyfriend, who 1) was involved with a stripper and has a son with the other woman, 2) was being cheated by his partner in the wedding business, and 3) was the stranger killed by Carol's two boys. Katerina finally makes her escape from the boyfriend's shady partner and we see her depart on a train. Across the aisle from her is Carol. I really liked how the four lives were entwined without the characters being more than casually involved with each other. I also liked how the stories came full circle back to Carol and left things open for your own interpretation of where the stories and lives move on from there.



Umm, don't . . . what?

Die Hard. Isn't that how just about every man wants to go?

No, I won't duck and run from this one . . .

I did watch the German version. At least I think it is. I bought it a few days ago in fact. It is the Director's Cut on blu-ray. The default language was German, and I never really bothered to look and see what other languages it has. I love that movie, but 3.5 hours the director's cut does drag a bit. Granted, that was partly on purpose, as the filmmaker wanted to show the tedium of submarine service, as well as the action.

I do not know any German, but I have actually picked up a tiny bit of Japanese from watching anime. I do the same thing you do, hear the words and look at the subtitles to see if I am right.

*Points*...Bad girl... ... ...

And I mean, just don't waste your time watching it...It thinks it's great and it really isn't...We got to the end and I was like, "Oh, this is supposed to be the emotional reunion isn't it?"...*Sigh*...

The beautiful Mary Elizabeth Winstead ...Was the only highlight of a very silly film...The only decent thing they did with it is keep it to 90 mins... ...

I liked her a lot in the redo of The Thing. I did not realize/remember that she had been in that Die Hard movie. I think I watched it on instant viewing a few years ago, and as you said, it thinks it is great but it is not...

In other news, since McB has been pressuring me for months now, I finally relented and started watching Magnum PI. The first season is, wow, this is Magnum PI? Especially the first two-parter episode, which was obviously the pilot. Thank goodness they changed a lot of things from that one! The theme is what really gets me though. Its this bass guitar thing that makes me think of a Pr0N. It hasn't turned into this one that we all know and love yet.

Deep Blue Sea.

Um, I dunno...Finding Nemo?

That movie was worth it just for Sam Jackson's little monologue at the edge of the pool...



Wonder if I could find Ice Pirates anywhere? Netflix has it!

And you're Mr. Cinema Snob, I presume?

Still doesn't beat the tv version of Snakes on a Plane. "I have had it with these monkey fightin' snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!"


I actually watched many movies and enjoyed many movies where people would find stupid. But only some. I'm not very judgemental when it comes to movies, though.

That's nothing. The TV version of the Godfather has a scene where a guy is told to "go sculpt yourself, jerk!"

Secondhand Lions.

Don't judge. It is an excellent movie. I am a huge Michael Caine fan.

Michael Caine is playing for the Detroit Lions now? I guess an 80 year old actor cannot do any worse than anyone else on that team...

That movie made me cry some not-so-manly tears, lol XD
