[Hivemind] Snow falling on Computer Towers while Neon Lights Blink Away

[ASH]

Making food. Watching the soap opera's that I watch and surfing the net. I have ten thousand things I should be doing. But screw it.

Partrick Swazy in drag bad!

I usually have lots of movies to suggest. Course, we haven't been frequenting the local artsy movie house here lately (though we did just see Master and Commander there).

another one, I believe it is by the same guys as the other two, is "Strictly Ballroom."

It's about the Latino Ballroom competitions in Australia. Like the others, it is quite good and the dancing is great.

Hmm... I seem to have a thing for Australian movies, it seems....

Acutally, I just like foreign films. Haven't done it in a while, cause we stopped renting movies for over a year, but we used to just peruse the foreign film section at blockbuster for something we hadn't seen that looked good (preferably something french, chinese, italian, or japanese).

Strictly Balroom is a great movie. It has Jon Leguazamo(sp?)
in it. The director also did Mulan Rouge. How is master and commander? I have not seen it. I am not a big Russell Crowe fan.

Good movie, but needed more "fightin' round th'world!" from Russell Crowe. He didn't even punch out any Brazilians.

Master and Commander was good. Both myself and orchid liked it (we do like Russel Crowe). Ship scenes were well done.

Got my folks to go see it. My dad liked it. My mother, while she didn't like it, could see that it was very well made.

As far as foreign films go, I like Hong Kong action films, martial arts movies, and Italian gorefests.

I just have not seen any Russell Crowe movies that I liked. I was one of the few who disliked Gladiator, and A Beautiful Mind. But, I have heard alot of great things about Master and Commander. My mother-in-law liked it. We will probably see it this week.

My mother refuses to see it on the basis that "she doesn't like Russell Crowe." She also asked me why I went to go see the Matrix if I'm not a fan of Keanu Reeves. Does this logic make sense to anyone else? You don't like an actor, so you don't go see a movie with them in it? If I'm alone on this I'll shut up.

 

[ASH]

I dont understand that logic either. I know a guy who wont watch Tom Hank's movies for the same backwards reasoning. I mean an actor can be totally different from one movie to the next.

You're thinking of Baz Luhrman's other two films, Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge. But Leguiziamo is NOT in Strictly Ballroom.

On the other hand, it's Luhrman's best film.
