Though this scene is of course the sexiest scene of any John Hughes movie:
#t=6m30s

No one can argue with that.

I got hard.

Never seen it

It's every John Hughes cliche rolled into one film with no substance whatsoever. Has the hottest version of Jennifer Connelly, however.

I actually liked that movie for more than just that scene

way better than that weird science shit anyway

[Eric P]

Party Girl - still probably my favorite ny movie.

goddamn hipsters

[Mandark]

That got turned into a sitcom for about a month on Fox, didn't it?

[Eric P]

no idea.

i can't see it translating

maybe as an ugly betty style drama, where she's a librarian by day trying to get her life together and at night she throws wild parties.  insert the theft and wacky friends it may be able to sustain

I saw Kick-Ass last night. Good film, but I fucking hate Mark Millar. I don't know what it is, but I can't stand his characters. Everything but the writing of the movie was excellent, especially since the director from Layer Cake did this. I still couldn't get around the extremely unlikable, annoying characters.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

Mark Millar is like the ultimate nihilist.

Mark Millar is like the ultimate nihilist.

I've vowed never to read his books because what little of him actually gets into the films already angers me, I can't imagine being able to handle the condensed pretentiousness and stupidity of his style in book form.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

Kick-Ass was both amusing and infuriating in comic form. It's making me not want to watch the movie all that much.

Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010, Bansky)

Fucking awesome. Probably the best street art documentary I've seen (even better than Style Wars which is great), and more importantly a pretty fascinating dissection of art and artists as a whole. See this if you can. My third favorite of the year after Shutter Island and Mother.

It's out in Seattle, theater is pretty close to my house. Either going to see this or Ajami tomorrow.

Even talented writers like Jane Goldman couldn't fix the millarisms of it.

Sony might be forcing reshoots on The Green Hornet...For 3D?

Christ, this film has such a checkered history :'(

[Cormacaroni]

Kutaragi-esque, really.

Seth Rogen is to blame somehow. Him as The Green Hornet? I mean..really?

It's a comedy film so that really isn't a big issue.

Pixar's "Brave" will be released June 15, 2012, and a sequel to "Monsters Inc." will hit theaters Nov. 16, 2012.

[Cheebs]

Looks like Ridley Scott's next movie is indeed the prequel to Alien. It sounds pretty far along. It should be interesting to see how it turns out since Ridley Scott's filmography over the past few years has been all over the place. Body of Lies and American Gangster were pretty average while Kingdom of Heaven was one of the best films of his entire career.

Gothic, scifi horror

Even with Ridley Scott's mixed record recently I don't think there is a single other director that would be a better choice to try and revive the franchise.

Yep. Monster's Inc. 2 though is the best news ever.

All that is left is an Incredibles 2. Toy Story 3 and Monster's Inc. 2 are the best possible sequels they could have done other than that. So 2/3 so far.

I have heard some big time spoilers about the end of Toy Story 3 and wow, Pixar has some balls.

They really should be doing Incredibles 2 instead of Cars 2. 

[Cheebs]

Brad Bird is doing Mission Impossible 4 apparently so I doubt even if they do it it will be any time soon. 

[ManaByte]

Brad Bird is too tied up in trying to do live action to do Incredibles 2.

Who wants a sequel to Cars sigh. Incredibles 2 could be so awesome, and expand an already interesting world

Pete Doctor is directing Monsters 2, fyi. Some places are saying it's a new or unknown director.

ManaByte, share your FUCKED UP drugs, because the movies you added to the list have nothing to do with Pixar.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Well, now Pixar is a part of Disney and is actually calling the shots for the animation division, so technically, kinda-sorta, they are Pixar films.

And even though I'm two days late to the argument, I also agree that Infernal Affairs bests The Departed (which is still a really good film).  The Departed is a full 40 minutes longer and adds little besides a hammy Jack Nicholson performance and a ridiculous love triangle.  I can honestly say IA was to me, the more entertaining film.  If I wanted to get full Canto-faggory I would also point out that Infernal Affairs II might actually be better then the original film, which would make the hierarchy...

IA2 > IA > The Departed > IA3

but that's just me.

[Eric P]

IA3 was horrible

but IA2 is def the better of the films

Little Mermaid wasn't nominated for best picture.

And it was re-released in theaters...in LA

Beauty and the Beast is perhaps the most overrated animated Disney flick.

Ichirou gave Avatar an 8.4/10 in his initial review.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

Ichi also shat on Inglourious Basterds iirc. Ichi

Watched Predator again recently.

The assault scene is so amazing. The movie is phenomenal in every way except for the fact that the actual Predator effects have not aged well at all. If the exact same film could exist with modern effects for the Predator's weapons and vision (not Lucas shit CG, but something good), it would pretty much be the greatest action film of all time.

Just got back from seeing it with the wife. Brilliant. What do you think about the theory that Banksy is really behind the whole Mr. Brainwash persona and he's just pulling a fast one on all the sheep willing to buy the rehashed/stolen crap that's being passed as art?

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Cars did pretty good box office numbers, but the merchandising was massively successful, outpacing every other Pixar release.

I'd guess that's why.  It sure as hell ain't due to the huge crossover appeal of Larry the Cable Guy.

[Veidt]

I hope Brad Bird doing MI4 means Abrams is now in the market to actually go back and do The Dark Tower. He's definitely my favourite young new director. He reminds me of Spielberg. In many ways, I've never went through the Spielberg generation of films. By the time I was old enough to understand E.T, it was already out dated. I have to say though, I really liked A.I.

So that's why I'm not into Spielberg. Though I recognize that at one time, he was great.
