Somebody has picked up hivey habits pretty fast! :lol:

Ah... re-watched "The Fifth Element"... funnily, it gets weirder and yet more amusing each time I watch it - has anybody opinions about that film?

Cheers, LT.

It just ran on Pro7 - did you see it there, too? And yes, I have opinions on the movie. ;)

I really like it. It contains a lot of cool and insane moments. Like the Zorg scene where he almost dies from the cherry (Gary Oldman is brilliant in that role, and to think he also plays Gordon in the new Batman movies just shows his incredible range). Or the scene where he says "A real killer would have asked what the red button was for"

Ah, too many good scenes. The movie might have some "gaps" in logic (if it's so damn hard to get aboard that ship, how do the warriors manage) - but who cares. It is really a fun ride, even complete with a neat, positive message about love.

The music selection is also very interesting. The scenes with Chris Tucker (that's the actor, right?) and Korben when they get aboard the ship is just superbly cut, with a lot of energy and the music fitting perfectly. The diva is awesome. I think the fight choreography to the end could have been a little closer in harmony, but it's still well done.

Oh, and Korbens in the "hostage situation" is brilliant.

So, what was my excuse for not having the movie on DVD again?

Hehe, exactly! I have to make the most out of being in Germany and having German TV-programmes! ;)

And yeah, the best thing about the film is being so... fun and parody-like without actually parodying any specific film (well, except a lot of tropes and modern society and attitude in general).

Cheers, LT.

It's definitely parodying the Die Hard trope of Bruce Willis character wearing only a undershirt (dirty, bloody). ;)
