Girl, loads of people/geeks love those books . I know a couple of people anyway. It was sad what happened to Arwen at the end (its in the Appendices I think, and not the main part of the book} Anyway, "the hobbit" was pretty rubbish, so you can hate on me for that if you want I think I said before on hear I love those LOTR movies, but I havn't seem them that often (not yet anyway). | |

TheMightyCelestial said: Flowers2 said: The Godfather III
I was lucky in that I didn't see any of the Godfather movies til much later in life than most people. I didn't get the chance to watch 'em until sometime during my early college years. And the first one I saw was the third installment. So I got to see it without the comparison of it's 2 predecessors. And, IMO, on it's own, it's a very good mobster movie. Obviously, it can't compare to the first two, but in the genre of mob-flicks, it kicks it's own particuler brand of mafia ass. Plus, with it's redemption-themed, politically-charged corporation/Vatican storyline, it's a pretty goddamn smart movie, too. Now while I haven't watched it as much as 1 & 2, I still like it & I still find watching the whole series as a trilogy to be quite a fulfilling movie-viewing experience. Now, if only Sofia Coppola would've gotten shot at the beginning of the film instead of the end, maybe this flick would get a little more respect. | |

I found out that one of the cheeziest, syrupy, overly-sentimental movies in history is my secret guilty pleasure....
....wait for it......wait for it..... GHOST!!! I always feel like I should start batting for the other side whenever I watch it... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

What, no one digs Kurosawa?
Seven Samurai I even love listening to the audio commentary.I think I've watched this at least a dozen times. It's got everything, action, drama, comedy, & one of the greatest actors in the world Toshiro Mifune. [Edited 11/24/08 8:17am] | |

Flowers2 said: Harlepolis said: Denzel had a swagger walk in this movie.. Girl, where ya been? Denzel has this same signature walk in EVERY movie and I mean EVERY movie he has done. Thats why you gotta love the chocolate man! His style of walk is even more evident in "Malcolm X"...the scene when was stutting inside the bar with his red zoot suit.... it should be a sin to have a walk that sexy.... I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

alwayslate said: I Knooooow I ain't the only that loves this flick. I have seen this more times than any film except maybe Purple Rain. "And my office hours are from.....9 to 5"!!! "This is Big Red Davis, from Big Red Records" "You call that your best combination....well that ain't shit!!" "Hold my cane, watch and you just might learn something". "Tell Jimmy he can't hide!!!" "Ya'll sure ya'll wanna hang wit' old Eddie Kannngggg??!!!!" Hey, I always thought Eddie's last name was Cane, but later I found out it was King...always sounded like Cane to me.
