Did you see Brad where he plays the Irish pikey guy in Snatch? I secretly think that is the hottest he has been since Legends of the Fall. But oh, thanks for this, ........ :) :)
Pam: To be fair, no, I haven't seen him in Snatch and now that I think of it, he did a pretty amazing job in Babel, too. But recently? Not only have his movies stunk, man looks downright haggard. Angelina, I hear, is rough on her men. And I don't mean that in a good way.
Karl: It's a must see, for sure. Let me know what you think.
yeah before brad pitt became a white rastafarian billy goat gruff. still havent seen fight club! can you believe that? brad was hot in thelma and louise. from there it was all down hill. fast.
Chickory: See, I found him a lil' too scrawny and earnest in T&L. Legends of the Fall, I think, was the height of his gorgeousness. Hah! Baaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Kym: I think I saw a clip of Snatch once. Could you understand it? In all those macho Brit flicks, it seems the men just mumble so.
I was going to say Snatch too! I didn't like Fight Club, found it very hard to watch. I hate boxing though so it took that to the extreme. I love him as Irish Pikey!
Moi, you are funny! I always laugh when TV shows put subtitles for Aussies, Irish and New Zealand people that are speaking English! LIke Kym, I guess you have to be around people with those accents to "hear" them!
Troll: One of the few films made after 1979 that I've put in my top ten.
K9: Snort.
La Diva: I found the violence very elegant. And funny.
Boxer: Now, or later? Personally, I'm going to give him a chance to divest himself of BatShitCrazyAngelina and shave that beard before I write him off entirely. But I'm losing my patience.
Kym: As a teen cruising alone around Europe, I met a cute Irish boy on a train trip from Munich to Cannes. He tried his damnedest to woo me but I blew it because I kept saying, "What?" Had the same problem with S.B. when we first met (heavy, heavy southern accent). For some reason, he just kept repeating himself.
La Diva: Eventually, I do get an ear (witness my spousal unit), but it takes me a while. Then I start picking up the vocal mannerisms.
Moi, i'm not usually bothered by violence. But watching these guys hit themselves just seemed sick. I thought the movie to be self-serving. What do you mean by "elegant?"
Elegant in the way that it was choreographed (I'm a boxing fan) and elegant as well in its meaning, in the way the violence initially represented a search for feeling and meaning and identity. A kind of redemption for the hollow, purposeless direction these men were made to believe their lives were going. And then ultimately ironic (and funny), as the violence coalesces into a movement and then escalates to anarchy and nihilism.
Got it. You know what's funny about me? I can watch a movie or hear a song and depending on my mood, I'll like it or hate it. Must have been in an impatient, bad mood when watching this movie! haha! Sometimes I watch a movie again and get a completely different take on it.

I love it! It's still a great speech and I love the "we're the middle child" idea. Thanks for playing!
I remember the first time I saw this movie and my jaw dropping at the end. I never saw it coming. Great movie.

Good afternoon Moi,
Another one, I've been meaning to see.
Boxer: "You are not your duvet." Bwahahahahaha!
Buzz: Anarchy never seemed so right on.
Pam: To be fair, no, I haven't seen him in Snatch and now that I think of it, he did a pretty amazing job in Babel, too. But recently? Not only have his movies stunk, man looks downright haggard. Angelina, I hear, is rough on her men. And I don't mean that in a good way.

This was the movie we wanted K9 to see but couldn't remember.
Shamu: Oh, that's right! This one and Velvet Goldmine, I think.

I've seen Babel, and think it's an excellent movie. Now miss Moi, put Snatch on your must see soon list. You'll be glad you did.
Chickory: See, I found him a lil' too scrawny and earnest in T&L. Legends of the Fall, I think, was the height of his gorgeousness. Hah! Baaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I think this came out after I started boycotting Hollyweird. Anyway, I haven't seen it.
i like earnest. and willing. grrrrherhahahaha

oh jeez, he's still hawt to me.
kill me.
yah. I understood, but I had an advantage growing up with a british accent around since I was eight. I forget that not everyone else did. :/

I'm the same way :o)
I typically dislike violence, but I love watching live boxing matches. I've never watched Bambi, however, but think Pulp Fiction is a great movie.
I went to An Affair of the Heart today. I say a charm that said "shoe slut." I smiled and thought of you. :)
