They only started that when the realized that losing the war was the probable outcome.

Actually haven't been a fan of many of Smith's recent movies.
By any chance, is there any book comparison in the class?

And how would you go about preventing the spread of zombies?

well we had to write the paper on how each of us would have went about preventing the spread of infection, using techniques that we learned, like PPE's, Personal Protection Equipment (i think? i don't pay much attention, too boring of a class) and things along those lines.

and, it was the second time that i had saw the movie, but i thoroughly enjoyed it, even the second time around. i actually paid close attention to what exactly was going on in the movie, and i loved the different twists and turns in it, it made it stand out.

Just watched Let The Right One In. Really, really good. 9/10 probably. It's just a very good film.

Angrist · 02-13-2009, 06:11 AM

Germy, do you watch any other European movies? I'd like to know what people here think about them.
Not that I watch them so often... 80% of what I watch is from Hollywood.

Oh and Fox, thanks, didn't know.

The Germanator · 02-13-2009, 09:22 AM

I'll watch any European or foreign film which is recommended to me or that is easily accessible here in the States.

It mainly just depends on what kind of becomes a "hit" over here, and I say that lightly because despite how many awards Let The Right One In has won, last time I checked it was still only playing in about 6 cities in the whole country.

Some classic European films I enjoy are Der Letzte Mann (The Last Laugh), Der Blaue Engel (The Blue Angel), Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) which is one of my favorites.

Of course I love Amelie, that's a great one. In the end, I still end up watching mainly American films, but subtitles don't bother me in the least and I'd say the % of quality European films is much higher because if it makes it to theaters over here, it's probably pretty good or else no one would have picked up the distribution rights.

Wow. Good call. I went to check your facts because I know kamikaze attacks date pretty far back in Japanese history, but yeah I guess Pearl Harbor was kosher.

It's like...I'm learning stuff on GT, lol.

Kind of a WWII whore :P

Though I am interested in WWI and Vietnam also.

I watched Outsourced last night. Really great movie, I enjoyed it throughly.

Angrist · 02-14-2009, 02:30 PM

Yeah Outsourced is a great happy end movie. Kind of like Amélie, Garden State and Im Juli.

I saw Lakeview Terrace and Step Brothers on wednesday when i stayed home from school. I thought Lakeview Terrace was decent, Samuel L. Jackson does a good job as Abel Turner. Step Brothers was pretty funny, the part of the movie when the two "boys" were sleepwalking was hilarious.

And I saw Slumdog Millionaire last night. Another great one, but somehow it wasnt quite as good as I was expecting...I dont know, maybe I had this one too hyped up in my head? Still great though.

The Germanator · 02-14-2009, 11:01 PM

I saw Slumdog Millionaire today as well. I'd agree with you in that it wasn't as good as it was hyped up to me. It was pretty well done in many ways, but it's definitely not the best movie I've seen this year. It kind of reminded me of a more tame and not as good City of God in it's own way. Anyway, I was glad to see it.

I also got done watching Bottle Rocket a little while ago. It's Wes Anderson's directorial debut starring Luke and Owen Wilson in their first roles as well. I liked it a lot, it kind of goes well and shows Anderson's style. Probably not his best, but pretty damn good for a first film...

Oh yeah, I also watched Zach and Miri make a Porno last night...It was okay. It had be laughing out loud a few times but the story was just silly. I know I shouldn't expect much more from a film with that title, but Kevin Smith has shown better before.

KillerGremlin · 02-15-2009, 05:46 AM

I saw He's Just Not That Into You. It was pretty awful....or maybe it wasn't. Women's only goal in life is to get treated like shit until someone will marry them, right?

Angrist · 02-16-2009, 07:12 AM

I saw The Interpreter. Was pretty good, 7.5/10 or so.
