He was also in Underworld - Viktor.

Nella, you're the total opposite of me - the movies you don't like are the ones I prefer and I don't care for the ones you like, what I call slice-n-dice. There are a few exceptions, like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street - but only originals and none of the sequels.

too cool for that - a lot more going on besides a disgruntled goofball stabbing sex-minded teens.

I'm sorry!
I just saw that, and yes, that was what I was thinking of.



@urge:sorry, that was a horrible movie, but worth watching because of the performance by Nighy

Yes, it does have more going on.......but I still consider it slice-n-dice. Everyone has their own opinion about things - that's what makes the world interesting. :)

ah - definately not Still Crazy.

Still Crazy is sort of in the same ballpark as Spinal Tap (although not done in docu format)

its about a bunch of aging rocker who were in a band - kind of like Led Zep. who are convinced by one of their members to reform and work their way through small european clubs to prepare for a big concert.

great cast - funny stuff .. and Nighy is fantastic

I tend to agree that it is a bit smarter and more original than the majority of them. I like slasher films, but so many of them are just more of the same. ANOES wasn't. But in my opinion, it still qualifies as a slasher.

Like they were trying to copy the old 60s movies, like the ones with Doris Day and Rock Hudson, and failed?

Not quite
It seems like after they made 4 weddings and a furneral- a ton of movies started showing up with the same 'let's hire a bunch of well-known english actors' ,and it doesn't matter what the story is about.

Sanders. How can you get more smarmy than his suicide note-

"Dear World, I am leaving you because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool - good luck."

Hehe. :o I have never met them. I'm just going by their acting ability and the things I have read about them. Some of the things I have read may not be true so I can't be so judgmental about them and their private lives. I still don't like Sean Connery because I saw the real interview with him. I realize I bashed a few of them unnecessarily.

Nella=Not usually a basher.

That is a famously smarmy suicide note. I guess you're right. There's no competing with George.

Doc, what is that pic in your new avatar?

Doc Faustus 10-15-2008 05:52 PM

A poorly resized Mephistopheles I intend to replace with a decent image as soon as I figure out how.
