What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Ed Hocken]

Is Poker still a big thing? Please tell me we've gotten that out of our system.

[Captain Russ]

I still see assholes putting that goddamn thing on TV screens at certain places.

But hey, if it makes me drink more to dumb myself down enough to watch (because talking to anyone with a functioning brain has long since gone out the window if I'm in a place like that)/numb the pain, then they're doing their job.

Fucking bartenders.

[Ed Hocken]

Watching a poker tournament versus watching a fishing competition? Which is a greater waste of time?

[Captain Russ]

I'd rather be fishing than losing money.

Watching either is the fastest way to suicide/oldmanhood.

BACK ON TOPIC: I know full well that my neuroses stand in the way of me just putting the goddamn DVD in and watching it, so I assume Rounders is great. I just can't motivate myself to see it because my taste is more than suspect as it is.

Having said that, I saw part of Jennifer's Body yesterday. I wish I hadn't. Fucking dreadful.

As long as I don't have to watch golf.

"Slutty Famke" was on the cusp of making it into my previous* post. I could've done with a smidgen more of her, though.

How gay is Mike for not railing her in his apartment?

I can completely see why. Grosse Pointe Blank is a bit like that for me. If I'm not sure what to watch, G.P.B. always goes down well. I don't worry about "killing" it either, since it actually gets a little better every time.

Yep, that's it. I'd love to be able to watch Grosse Pointe Blank, but I was having the worst trip of my life (ended up in hospital, arrested 6 weeks later) the last time I had it on (7 years ago) and am frankly terrified of watching it again in case I have a panic attack.

Sounds to me like you've got a whopper of a story to tell!

I was deeply disappointed with him at the precise moment she headed for the door.

Yep, that's it. I'd love to be able to watch Grosse Pointe Blank....

Sorry to hear about that, mate. Sounds beyond terrible.

One thing Rounders put beyond any question for me is that I don't belong within 5 feet of a poker table, high-stakes or otherwise. I'm a cavalcade of "signals" like fidgeting with my hair or clothes, scratching the back of my neck, and making odd faces as it is. Imagining how that would play during a game of Hold 'Em doesn't bare thinking about.

Hugely disappointing, wasn't it? It didn't even come close to living up to the Heathers meets Buffy premise it was sold to me on.

[Captain Russ]

It was. Independent of how the Pilgrim movie goes, that poor bastard Johnny Simmons has been the Herald of Flops.

I want a hometown kid to be in something good, but so far the guy's been in some horrible crap, J's B being the latest.

I even tried to watch the Spirit. I gave up about an hour into the proceedings, even though Sarah Paulson gives me the horn (pink triangle on her sleeve or not).

That makes two of us!

I've taken considerable flack for this before, but The Spirit - for all its flaws - didn't bug me in the least. I actually enjoyed its silly mix of stylized cartoon violence and distractingly hot girls. Subterranean expectations put in place because of all the bad advance word on the flick had to have been a part of this, because I'm well aware it's not very good.

However...

Stana Katic... ummmm.

[Martin]

The wife tricked me into watching Michael Jackson's This is it.

I wish she tricked me into a threesome, or getting my nails polished by a hungry Siberian Tiger, because no matter how much I liked 80's MJ, this was a 2 hours of life that went by with tremendous pain.

Depends on the participants...

FFM? Nothing but win!
MMF? A tad awkward... actually, quite awkward.

It's dreck, but I thought the noirish Dick Tracy vibe was alright.

Until the Miller-approved narration popped in to tell me how much Denny wanted to fornicate with his city.

Katic made my eyes hurt in a good way.

We dug it. But we're fans of MJ from back in the day. Dude was a crazy performer.

Just popped in motherfuckin' 'Death Machine'!!!!

It's corny, it's cheap... but fuck me dead, I love it so!
