I didn't say it was your mancrush.
I said your man love. And well you know who they are. Now if they know is a completely different question.

I saw Indy last night. Classic Indy movie - I don't really care what people thought about it, I loved it.

Deja Vu. 8/10. A great movie, right on par with Minority Report, Abre Los Ojos and some others that I forgot.

Abre los Ojos was great.
Oh man, Penelope Cruz. She's so hot.

Re: Last movies you saw
I just got back from Indiana Jones. I thought it was great. Right on par with the same fun-loving, American adventurism that was in the previous 3 movies.
Seriously, as soon as a foreigner watches one of the action sequences and hears that classic theme playing, how they can they not rush to nearest American citizenship class?
That's good ol' Indy for ya.

Re: Last movies you saw
I just saw Strings. The world is inhabited by marionettes who know they have strings. Quite an interesting concept and was pretty to boot, but a little hard to take seriously at first.
Quote:
The fact that the characters are played by marionettes is incorporated into the movie's fictional universe. That is, the characters are literally marionettes. Wide shots of the countryside reveal millions of strings stretching endlessly into the sky, each one representing an individual on earth. Nobody knows how far the strings reach or who is controlling them. As far as the characters know the strings are controlled by a higher power.
When a string attached to a moveable limb is severed, it is analogous to amputation; the individual loses the ability to use that body part. Once a string is cut nothing can repair it or bring back to life whatever it was attached to. If the "head string" is cut it results in permanent death.
Since nothing can reanimate a body part after its string is cut, repairs to injured individuals must be made using healthy, unsevered parts. An unfortunate collection of poor people and prisoners is kept as a donor class. When a person of royalty or other social importance loses a body part, another is involuntarily taken from a prisoner and replaced with its string intact.
Prisons are designed around the fact that the strings reach up endlessly into the sky. Rather than cells, the prisoners are confined underneath huge horizontal grids, and the range of mobility allowed by their strings is limited by small square openings in the grid through which the strings are inserted and locked within.
Instead of giving birth, a couple fashions a new child out of wood, and the "pregnant" wife begins to grow fine, silky strings on her own. At the end of the "pregnancy" the newborn strings detach from the mother's and fasten to the infant, miraculously endowing it with life.
Later it is also revealed that some people have discovered the ability to "leap" incredible distances and effectively fly for a short time; essentially this is analogous to the puppeteer jerking on the marionette's string and making it soar through the sky. It is only when the protagonist understands the unity of all living things, and the power of love, that he is able to acquire the skill.

I watched Groundhog Day last night. I thought it was brilliant.

Re: Last movies you saw
Yeah mine too.
If you like the concept and you like mini-series, try Day Break. It's about a cop who gets falsely (?) accused for murder. He gets stuck in 1 day to solve the murder. Very good series, even though it starts a little bit slow.

Waaay back when I was 8, I rented the movie on pay-per-view. Then I forgot that I had, and never got to watch it. Until two nights ago. I felt weird finally getting to see the movie

Re: Last movies you saw
The Terminator 8/10
Terminator 2: Judgement Day 8/10
I had both seen them before, T2 a few times. I was especially surprised at how good T1 was! I really enjoyed it a lot and I thought it was very scary in at least 3 scenes.
Next on my list is T3 (seen it once, wasn't too fond of it) and then The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
