Yes, Eddie lost that Oscar all on his own with Norbit, was was a hot mess!

Well, enjoy that rare Beyonce compliment. There won't be another one coming for a looonnnnggg time.

And, yeah, Jamie's character was a real bastard, but he played the hell out of it, though. I liked at the very end when he realized that Effie's daughter was his kid and he stood there with that stupid look on his face. Classic.

American Pie. Hilarious!

at the cinema: The golden compass - I thought it was ok, nothing special, I really liked the books and NK looked nothing like I imagined Mrs. Coulter, I don't care if the author picked her.

at home: Chungking Express - I still like it a lot

Has he ever gotten in trouble for using that word a lot? I mean he uses it like no other in all his films it seems. I think Tarantino is a bit racist IMO.

Quentin is a homage-aholic, he grew up with the 70's Blaxploitation films and watched and rewatched them as a video store clerk - hence his casting of Pam Grier in Jackie Brown. The guy thinks in camera lenses not racial hatred

^^^
exactly.
tarantino may be a lot of things but racist isn't one of them.

I don't know whether Tarantino's a racist or not, but that blaxploitation excuse is b.s. Blaxploitation movies died out for a reason. I mean, there are other ways he could pay homage without having to use the N-word five million times in his movies.

And before anybody says it, black directors shouldn't be using the N-word 5 million times in their movies either.

The Break Up. And I still cant stand 'Jenni'

yanna · December 21st, 2007, 08:57 AM

Well, Raspberry, I like Jenni and the Break up was really hard to sit through. I think she and Vaughn had good chemistry and there were some good scenes but that movie couldn't decide whether it was a drama or a comedy and I think it failed in both.

Kirsten89 · December 21st, 2007, 10:54 AM

The Shining. I really liked it and found it to be pretty creepy. They don't make horror movies like they used to.

Dixie Normos · December 21st, 2007, 10:56 AM

^^word.
I watched the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre a year ago, and I'm STILL creeped out...and Dixie doesn't scare easily.

Exactly. It does not look good for that word to be in a film so much.
But then again we're supposed to laugh when they call someone a fag or whatever in a comedy. Our society is fucked up.

I'm gonna have to rent the orignal. The first Nightmare on Elm Street can still freak me out.

I saw Rob Zombie's Halloween this week (I get free rental so i'm not wasting money on this) and it was awful. He completely messed up a great classic.

Dixie Normos · December 21st, 2007, 11:11 AM

Rob Zombie's music I like, so I've stayed away from the movies. I figure they're the types that only interest death-metal pimply teen boys.

ekee · December 21st, 2007, 12:33 PM

Just rented Once. I think I may buy it.
