What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Captain Russ]

Naw, it was pretty fucking incredible. It's totally silly, and so much goddamn fun. I was expecting non-stop soliloquies and St. Crispin's Day speeches from Kenny, but he said fuck that, let's have fun. It was WAY funnier than I ever expected, even when they used the EXACT same joke twice within like 30 seconds. Everything in this movie clicks. Portman/Thor have fine chemistry, but her character was pretty much blandy mcblanderson, she was just there to act as our conduit. Weakest point was that Warriors Three needed more time (Ray Stevenson should be in every frame of this movie) and fuck do I want a movie of nothing but Stringer Bell fucking people up on the Rainbow Road.

EDIT: My immediate reaction: "this might be my favorite comic film behind Dark Knight...need to re-watch X2 though"

I must add that Lord Marshall of the Necromongers as Laufey the Frost Giant King was so friggin' cool (and sadly underrepresented). Motherfucker looked like he was spawned from the same thing that spat out The Darkness from Legend.

Also: the score was fucking perfect. Heroic/alpha as fuck.

Colm Feore is one of the best Canadian actor you'll find. Totally underrated. That being said, Thor was really good. Like, really. And I never liked that superhero.

FilmNerdJamie said it best. How did Laurence Fishburne get so fat scavenging on the planet?

[Abraham Smashington]

Predator dogs are high in fat.

And have "shitty acting" worms in their poop.

The Other Guys - very good, lulzed here and there, and always great to see Keaton in action. Ferrel and Wahlberg delivered; especially loved the scene with Ferrel, Mendes, and the Mendes' character's mom acting as the go-between. Liked the chase scene, and the infographics re: Ponzi schemes, and bailouts (RAGE!), etc. at the end.

Scott Pilgrim - pretty good, though I wasn't sucked into it like I thought I would be. Michael Cera did a great job, but his character struck me as a bit of a dick when it came to romance - still haven't made the commitment to reading the books yet (I will eventually), so those might give me better perspective on the characters. Will probably give this another spin, see if I can get more into it.

Thor - Frickin' awesome. 'Nuff said. Perfect capstone to what turned out to be a very comics-influenced weekend for me (Saturday was Free Comic Book Day, and I revisited some stuff in my collection).

'Hearts of Darkness: A Filmaker's Apocalypse'. Still one of the best documentaries that I've ever seen. The truly candid stuff with FFC going insane is kinda frightening.

"The Horde" on Instant.

French zombie film with bent cops and drug dealers taking on all of infected Paris.

I liked it.

The King's Speech

While good, it would have played better had it been an HBO tv movie. There was no reason this should have won best director compared to David Fincher. However, if Bale had not been in The Fighter, Geoffrey Rush would have definitely won for Lionel Logue.

Sorry, but I loved 'the King's Speech' without reservation. 10/10. I was thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. While I don't have an issue with it winning Best Picture (unlike others), I'm of the opinion that 'the Fighter' was the actual BP for last year.
