Ugh.

Oh, and I saw Dogma and sorta enjoyed it.

Uma Thurman....

I read an article today in which Uma talks about her new movie "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" and says "I love comedy and I've been wanting to do comedy forever".

Is it just me? I'd label both of the "Kill Bill's" plus "pulp fiction" as comedy.

Nah, I'd go with "action" instead of "comedy" for those. The resolutions are not funny or lighthearted, and their focus is not comedic, though they include plenty of comedy.

I REALLY enjoyed Clerks last night.

Smith has redeemed himself in my eyes....

Matterhorn Fan · 07-24-2006, 02:24 PM

I hadn't even considered seeing Clerks 2. It looks like a "wait until it's on cable" movie to me, but I'm going ONLY on the TV ads I've seen, which look terrible.

Finally watched Pirates last night with NA and €uro - I feel like I've waited years to finally see it.

My initial thoughts:
More slapstick than I expected.
The captain's facial hair was out of control.
The ships looked absolutely fantastic.
Cannibalism jokes are always funny.
The cursed treasure bit always was a nice touch.
The underlying futility and lack of romanticism of the pirates' lives was well presented.
In all - a slightly convoluted script, fun (if not great) acting, and beautiful cinematography.
It was clear that the filmmakers were fans of the Disneyland attraction and wanted to capture the spirit.

(wait for it)

I am, of course, referring to Roman Polanski's "Pirates" from 1986 starring Walter Matthau. For some reason, the only widescreen DVD presentation of the movie was on a giveaway on the cover of a Polish PC magazine. I finally got a copy on eBay a couple of months ago and was waiting for the right moment to watch the flick....

Man, that film just blows Disney's Pirate out of the water.

Or, maybe it just blows.

Now you'll have to treat NA to a viewing of 'Yellowbeard".
