Pokemon Live-Action Trailer

Maybe I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but after I saw this on a friend's facebook profile, it has been bugging the living crap out of me. m It's too silly to be real, yet too real to be fake. Guns?! (A girl putting a gun to her head, no less.) Shot with the faux-gritty Hollywood "realism" of...

Re: Children being killed....

Battle Royale is the first thing that comes to mind, then of course, Haneke's Funny Games Going all the way back to the OP, I don't believe Funny Games has the killing onscreen, and afterwards the body is obscured. Along that logic we can include Hitchcock's Sabotage . Also, in FG you could cou...

So does [spoiler]Bunuel's Los Olvidados[/spoiler] count?? Details are sketchy but the last shot is pretty vivid.

Re: Children being killed....

lolz. Sick Girl (2007), (not the MOH short film) is the only one I can think of. But I consider this a challenge, so after a short and introspective respite, I shall be back. BTW the film is terrible, but the part in question is pretty fantastic, using your delightfully perverted log...

Re: Your favorite movie scene ?

The scene in The Virgin Spring when [spoiler]the vagabonds offer the daughter's clothes to her mother. The flash of realization on her face freaking destroys me.[/spoiler]

Re: To the people who actually rate out of 100

I can't put it into words, it's just a gut feeling. I admit that most of the time there isn't much difference between a 62 and a 63, but sometimes there totally is. This. I follow whatever my gut says it should be. Occasionally I've modified my ratings to better fit my tiers/changing opinion over t...

Re: Your DVD Stats

I have about 750 DVDs, 200 LDs and 156 Blu's, mostly UK imports (thanks, BFI!). I would use DVD Profiler to keep better track but I'm Mac-only at my house. :evil:

It's all in flux after I discovered Big Lots is clearancing out OOP Warner Bros. titles. I added about 50 in the last week :?

Re: Annoying Theater Experiences

When I saw Shutter Island I had That One Guy Who Commented On Everything in front of me, but luckily he never got past the third preview: after seeing the Death at a Funeral (Chris Rock) preview, he shouted, "They need to make more shit like THAT!" I shouted back, "IT'S A REMAKE!"...
