Imagine if Luc Besson had made "The Mummy". Now imagine if he had cast a woman in the lead role. Now imagine if the film was super cool and funny as fuck.

Now go and find a copy of Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec. Tis OSSUM!!1! :awesome:

Just watched that Captain Phillips one. Can't remember the title. It's the one about the true story of the Merchant ship that was hijacked by the Somalian Pirates. I found it enjoyable, and I'd love to know how much poetic license they used in the kill shots. If that is more or less how it went down, that is fucking amazing!

One thing I really enjoyed about the movie was the at the end when
Trigger Warning!!!1! :
he was rescued. The shock and the Navy nurses was really well done and really gave a more realistic portrayal than the usual pulp from Hollywood.

The nurse in the movie was the actual Navy paramedic who treated the actual Captain Phillips, which is why she sounded so realistic. Pity producers can't manage to figure that out more often in medical scenes.

I expect most of you filmies will have already seen this, but I've just watched In Bruges. Dark, outrageous and funny. :biggrin:

Watched sushi girl last night. Tits and torture with a storyline. I enjoyed

Yeah, I suspected that. The whole scene seemed so realistic.

Seven Psycopaths. Not up to the peak that McDonagh hit with In Bruges but still a bloody good flim! Well worth the watching. :tup:

That was the part I liked most. I even mentioned that previously in this thread.

You should stop reading my past thoughts and passing them off as your own because there's no way we came to that agreement independently.

Surely, two or more persons can have favourite moments of the same film independently, and for the same reason.

How did you work that out? O yes, got it at last. Saying "two or more persons can have favourite moments of the same film independently, and for the same reason" obviously equals "Steve and rEv are not the same person". Silly me. :doh:
