i hardly think the phrase "bearded pal" is hardly relevant

and i bought starsky & hutch, not miami vice :cool:

hell no man !

some of my favorite movies are old school romantic comedies and i'm more than happy to chat about them here ..

i pity anyone (or just blame it on youth) who sticks to the horror genre alone - that would be pathetic.

Titanic was just a bloated mess for me .. i didnt approach the film not wanting to like it - i just let it happen and it really hit me the wrong way ...

i didnt have fun, or find it clever ...

i think i feel the way about it that you do about a lot of the UK stuff you feel misrepresents your part of the world ..
well - in a way - but different

like Miami Vice .. i know at least 3 britts who rushed out to get those boxsets (you zwoti and our old bearded pal) and absolutely dig those shows ... when i always found them to be an embarrasment.

(i did like The Sweeny though )

for a guy who values risk taking in film i'm suprised you liked this one at all

I don't know, Titanic just sails along in its own inoffensive and blockbusting way. Of course it's riddled with trite Hollywood ideals and innacurate historical interpretations (guess some relatives linked to the ship might find this offensive), but unlike the challenging elements of underground exploitation cinema this can be enjoyed without the need to 'confront' the film.

I'll defend any man's right to switch off (no not the TV, comedians) and gaze idly at the box for a few hours while digesting his Christmas lunch - gimme Titanic over Harry Cunting Potter or Pearl Harbour any day.

Standout scenes: the ship going down, it breaking in two, the unfortunates crashing down and bouncing like ragdolls, and, especially, the eerie 'graveyard' where everyone is dead and floating.

Miami Vice is quality for its occasionally meaty storylines, cool music (where are you now Mr Hammer?) and nice atmospherics by Michael Mann.

The Sweeney is classic hardboiled British cop drama, like The Professionals (before it went a bit soft) and Juliet Bravo.

Er... scratch that last one...

:D

any jean claude van dam movie from the eighties and or low budget werewolf/killer shark movies... check out shark attack 3, it has the best line in any movie i've ever seen - some chick: "well, what do we do now?" some dude: "why don't i eat your pussy." that is comedy gold to me!

re switching off .. as previously stated - i've taken a perverse liking to the latest Steven Segal efforts just to watch how they try in vain to hide how fat he is ..

(i will confess to liking harry potter movies though :))

pearl harbour was poop for sure ..

there is no doubt that titanic had some very effective moments .. my gripe was that had it just stuck to the actual reality of the events as they happened it would have been far more gripping.

the one moment in the film i really appreciated was when the people who made it to one end of the ship were hovering straight up in the air over everything below .. and one girl looked into the lead girls eyes as she was slipping ... and there was that crystal clear reality - understanding that they shared that the girl was going to die and there wasnt anything they could do about it ... and she quietly came to terms with it ...


it was a small moment but for me the most effective thing in the whole movie ..


and again.. i'm a big fan of David Warner so it was nice to see him ..

i wanted to add .. that michael mann was a bad name in my house because of miami vice but i had to bite that down after he consitantly made films i really liked..(the Keep, Manhunter, thief)
