You see? She has used a capital 'I' on the misspelled "Im"... thus proving that she is not an alternate ID of one Robert J. Kamphausen. For, we all know that 'Rob', as he is known in these circles - does not use capital letters.

Elementary!

Saw "Collateral" over the weekend. Good movie.

Tango & Cash

The Full Monty
Oceans eleven

Dodgeball, Elf......and Anchorman which sucked by the way.

I liked Anchorman. But then again I was rocked!

I was half asleep and only really watched the first half hour......so I will give it another try,,,,,,Vince vaughn cracked me up.

I just finished watching an all-region, subtitled, un-cut version of Jackie Chan's "Project A" for the second time. I often prefer original Chinese version to the American versions.

I'm currently in the process of trying to unload my collection of American versions of Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies on VHS, which are dubbed and significantly cut, and I wanna use the money to buy the original Chinese versions, for seveal reasons:

1) The dubbing is so atrocious that it ruins the entire movie for me. I don't mind English subtitles - I've seen enough subtitled movies where I can read subtitles and follow action at the same time.

2) American versions often take HUGE chunks out of the movie and change the script to Westernize it. Disney and New Line are notortious for this. If I'm gonna watch a movie, I wanna see the whole thing. Besides, Disney and New Line didn't make the movies - what right do they have to take stuff out of them?

BTW, it's actually illegal to buy the original versions of these movies WORLDWIDE - including in China and Hong Kong! Disney bought the rights to them, and only their versions are allowed to be sold. And they only sell the edited dubbed versions, and refuse to release the movies as they were originally presented.

If you don't believe me, go here: http://alliance.hellninjacommando.net/purpose.htm. This is a website called The Web Alliance For The Respectful Treatment Of Asian Cinema, which appeals to Hollywood movie studios to release Asian movies as they are, un-cut and in their original langauge.

Dunno bout Disney owning the rights over here.
Most of the Jackie Chan DVDs I own are available with both Chinese & English audio & have been released by Hong Kong Heroes.

Anyway just got a load of DVDs through the post so I aint gotta buy anymore now for ages.
Kindergarten cop
I-Spy
Quantum leap:season 1
Starsky & Hutch:season 2
Magnum P.I.:season 1

What DVDs is HK watching?

Take yer pick: HEROKILLER's DVD collection

Just got LOTR Return of the King: Extended.

Also Garden State with hottie Natalie Portman.

I actully saw Garden State last Monday and really enjoyed it.

Mrs. G-man and I rented three movies this weekend: "Man on Fire," with Denzel Washington, "the Terminal" with Tom Hanks, and "Anchorman."

We both fell asleep during the latter two, but both enjoyed "Man on Fire" (though Mrs. G-man thought "MoF" was a little bloody in spots.)

"The Butterfly Effect" with Ashton Kutcher was AWESOME!!!! VERY well done, nonpredictable plot, and the special effects were amazing....I really liked the end...if only guys could be soo sweet in irl

Just watched an evening with Kevin Smith yesterday.
Laughed my bloody tits off!
Highlights being the story of the Superman film and the first time he slept with his wife.

Loose shoes
Kuffs

Bless you HEROKILLER!

The fuckers at www.imdb.com go on and on about the ending, but the pricks won't tell what it is!

The film ends with a cast list!

Basically, Cameron Mitchell portrays the killer of the piece, who during the course of the film kidnaps his nephew's girlfriend, tying her up in a hotel room and tormenting her....



Then, close to the end, boyfriend saves the day by killing Uncle Nutcase. The boyfriend then goes into the bedroom to free the gal, and everything seems kosher, until....

Boyfriend practically rapes the gal, and reveals he murdered her brother....seems he was as nutty as Uncle Fruitcake, and that there may have been more than one killer.

Girl catches sight of a pair of scissors on the nightstand...then a quick cut to her in the parking lot walking away from the hotel in a blood stained nightgown....the end.

Thanks HEROKILLER.

Did you know that one was "banned for 12 years" or some rubbish?

Was it that graphic?

It's pretty brutal...the murders, but it's all obvious special effects.

The implied rape....is exactly that, implied.

I know the film pretty much became a big target after the nailgun scene was featured predominantly on an early 1980s episode of "60 Minutes" that was condemnin exploitation films, which gave it it's "bad" reputation.

As for being banned, the only place I can think of was the UK, when it was caught up in the notorious "Video Nasties" scandel from around the same time.

I saw this a few weeks ago, loved it, so of course Bravo has no plans of showing it again, since that would interefere with their "Project Runway" marathons.

Watched Inu-Yasha: Affections Touching Across Time Saturday, and will more than likely watch it a couple more times before I return it (thank you, Netflix). It's not tied to the continuity of the manga or the anime series, but it is a good stand-alone feature.

Can't wait for Castle Beyond the Looking Glass.

Signs
Meet Joe Black

I loved both those movies.

Master and Commander. I friggin' love this movie.

Picked up these two DVD releases after work tonight....already had the earlier releases of both on disc, but I'm a.) a sucker for supplementary material and b.) a huge fan of director Luc Besson and actors Jean Reno and Gary Oldman.....

About the Professional DVD: What does this new one have that the previous super-duper special edition doesn't? I'm quite happy with the previous disc...

Its special features include:
Ripping off people who bought previous editions
The ability to make the DVD company more money
A little button you click on the screen that gives you a presentation of a fat bloke in a suit pointing at you,laughing uncontrollably while bathing in money!

Tonight's purchases (a disposable income is a terrible thing to waste...heh)...

I just ordered, and will have by Tuesday at the latest:

House Of Flying Daggers 2-Disc Special Edition (NTSC Region 3)

Spaced - Definitive Edition (Pal Region 2)

One Missed Call (NTSC Region 3)

God bless all-region DVD Players! Gos bless Diabolik DVD!!!

Stopped by the local Blockbuster tonight, picked up three discs used (gotta love buy two, get one free sales):

matchstick men.....with nicolas cage......good twist at the end.

The Village by M. Night Shamalan......way sweet! Absolutely loved it!
