"From Hell" got knocked out of there pretty fast. Did anybody see it?
Is it worth seeing on the big screen?
From Hell reply

Take it for what it is, and it's a great movie; definately see it on the big screen (unless you have $5,000+ invested in home theater equipment). Remember, it's a MOVIE, not a historical textbook; the authors follow one on the better dramatic options, but not one of the most likely. It is also NOT the text of the graphic novel; as the medium changes, so does the focus. Enjoy it for what it is, don't whine about what it is not.

You lost me on the end of your post, but thanks, I'll check it out.
Looking forward to the upcoming preview for the new "Star Wars" due this weekend.

I saw it and enjoyed it as well, but I must admit I have a secret lech for Johnny Depp, so that goes a long way toward heightening the movie experience. Fairly good rendering of the White Chapel slums before the turn of the century. Nice plot. Medium gore.

"Life as a House." Wasn't that the alternative title to "Shallow Hal"?

Has anybody seen, "Life as a House"? If so is it good?
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply

'From Hell' is okay but Johnny Depp's London accent is terrible. Almost as bad as Dick Van Dyke in 'Mary Poppins'.

When's Harry Potter out? Is anyone going to see it?
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by scichick (imscichick@ivillage.com) on November 14, 2001 6:15 AM
Harry Potter starts Friday, November 16th and I've already got my tickets. I going with a group, I didn't read the books, but it looks like a pretty good movie. If I like it, I'll probably read the books later.
I seen Monsters, Inc - loved it! Domestic Disturbance - that was alright, too, and The One - pretty good. Jet Li sure can be a good guy as easily as bad.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply

I've heard it's comparable to "American Beauty".
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Irishgrl18 (Irish@me.com) on November 14, 2001 5:46 PM
Comparable to "American Beauty" huh? Hmmmm..... Has anybody seen it?
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by The Original Shemp (Daddy-O@shempsrule.com) on November 14, 2001 6:19 PM
I went to an advance screening of it on the weekend and it was very good. I haven't ever read any of the books, but I really enjoyed it.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 15, 2001 11:00 AM
Harry Potter sucks...I think Life as a House is the best.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply

Can someone set me straight, is the movie called Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone or Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone?
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on November 19, 2001 1:16 PM
Probably the Who-Cares-Stone.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 20, 2001 6:46 AM
Harry's potted and the sorcerer's stoned
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on November 20, 2001 9:53 AM
Is the movie heavy like a stone?
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 21, 2001 6:45 AM
I you mean will it sink? then the answer is yes.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on November 21, 2001 9:32 AM
I think not. Too many people are going to watch it.
Remember Titanic? It also sunk, because it was loaded with theatre tickets.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 22, 2001 2:24 AM
The only reason Titanic sold so many tickets was because it had a big sinking ship that sank and everyone knew that it would. Sink that is.
P.S... Harry Potter is a good movie, okay?
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on November 22, 2001 10:49 AM
I'm thinking that we all have to shut up, because the movie is going to start.

Buy me a soda and some Oreos, please. I save you the sit.

No way man, I don't wanna miss the trailers.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on November 27, 2001 7:33 PM
Fine. Next time you get here later, buy yourself your own tickets.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply

That's it. I'm gonna go sit down the front.

All right, but you can't rest your head in the back wall with carpet on it.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 3, 2001 3:16 AM
What the hell does that mean!?
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on December 3, 2001 4:01 PM
Come at the end of the room, and you'll know!
Otherwise, watch the movie with pain in your neck.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 4, 2001 7:51 AM
Come at the end of the room!? What kind of perverted movie theatre is this!? I'll come in the privacy of my own home thankyou very much.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on December 4, 2001 11:25 AM
Let's clear this: some theatres have carpets on the walls. If you go at the last file, you'll have no one at your back and you could rest your head on that soft surface, while you're watching the movie, besides that you take out the place to that stupid couples who goes to the cinema because they can't make out in their own house with daddy, or even afford a motel.

I don't know where you go to the cinema but it sounds like depths of some South American prison to me.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on December 5, 2001 4:42 PM
I live in South America, but not in a prison. Here, we have nice theatres to lay down and fall asleep with all those Hollywood movies of yours.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 6, 2001 7:19 AM
And what kind of masterpieces of cinema have ever come out South America? Go back to running around in your loin cloth and sticking berries up your nose amigo.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on December 6, 2001 4:14 PM
I've seen excellent movies that you could never understand because you don't talk spanish.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 7, 2001 4:09 AM
I could understand them if I watched them before your country dubbed them into Spanish.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on December 7, 2001 12:02 PM
What, DVD on zone 1 doesn't have english subtitles?
I suggest you: learn another language for the next time you travel out of your country.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 10, 2001 5:14 AM
Look, I know it's difficult for you to understand but what I was saying was that the films you consider to be South American are actually American movies dubbed into Spanish. Go on, prove me wrong, name one good Sounth American movie that has acheived world wide success. Then I'll name you thousands of American ones.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on December 10, 2001 11:25 AM
Of course you could name it! Your film industry is bigger than ours, and that's why everyone in the world could watch it!
South American movies won prizes in Europe festivals. "Official History" (exact translation) won Academy Award for foreign picture in 1986. Even more, the actress Norma Aleandro, defeated Meryl Streep ("Out of Africa") in that year's New York festival of cinema!
But you will never watch too much non-USA pictures because you make so much movies that you fill all your theatres, and there is a little room for us.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 11, 2001 4:11 AM
Meryl Streep isn't exactly stiff competition now, is it. Besides, I happen to watch loads of non American movies and the best movies outside the USA come from Europe or Asia (South America is way down the line buddy, 'Official History' from 1986? come on you're scraping the barrel there) I've seen Igmar Bergman films, British films like Trainspotting and Billy Elliot, and Italian and German movies too like 'Run Lola Run'. I am interested and willing to watch movies from anywhere, It's just a simple fact that your country doesn't produce many movies. Don't critisize American movies when your country can't do any better, Ok?

This year maybe we get another Academy Award Nominee, "Son of the Bride". And we can't do more movies, but we can make it better sometimes. Your thousands of movies aren't all great, are they?
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 12, 2001 3:54 AM
Of course they're not, but there is no way you can argue against the fact that there have been more great movies to come out of America than any other country in the world.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on December 13, 2001 3:11 PM
The best proportion in best movies over the total realized goes for Italy. Check the amount of classics.
RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 14, 2001 5:24 AM
Proportion doesn't mean a thing. There are a few Italian movies that spring to mind as being really good such as, 'La Vita Bella' and 'il Postino' but believe me, having lived in Italy for 7 years there are a fair few crap ones to come out of there as well.
