^It's an undeniable classic! (Y)
Unfortunately falls into the so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again category <_<
^And it looked so promising on paper... I haven't seen (or heard of) it, no. But I'm no fan of this trend to quasi-intentionally set out to do that - i.e make it so bad that it's good. The Rodriguez/Tarantino Grindhouse concept was brilliant - but it's inspired lazy imitation. :|

^Yeah. But see I loved Planet Terror and Death Proof - there's a giant chasm between those, and other films that have tried to do it. Although there's that inherent ridiculousness to them, you could tell that Rodriguez and Tarantino have a genuine love and reverence, not to mention understanding of the style. When that's not there, it comes off so contrived, and just flat out bad.

And well, I guess when the lead is a porn star, you can only expect the bar to go so high

Robert Englund was embarrassing in it too.. but I forgive him freddy_krueger.gif

^I loved those films too - but, Tarantino particularly, has this knack to inspire lots of shitty riffs on his films. I suppose 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' though? But all those low-life "gangster" and narrative-jumping films that followed in Pulp Fiction's wake got rather tiresome...

Btw, did any of you see that The Girlfriend Experience - the Steven Soderbergh film starring Sasha Gray - since we're talking about films starring pornstars? (Well, not those films - they're in loads of them anwyay!) She wasn't bad at all.

How can someone even try to imitate Tarantino? That´s silly. He´s the brand, the genius, the crazy man... I love his movies even when I hate them.

Our birds came back again . Do you all still have birds or are you part of the south they fly to ?

No, never saw that.. but I remember being intrigued by it. She was over here promoting it a couple of years back.

Sorry B, I just HAD to post it here

Adriana Lima facts:

1)Adriana does not flirt with men. She just chooses.

2)Philosophers think about sense of life just because they didn`t see Adriana.

3)Nobody knows what was first. Sex created Adriana Lima or Adriana Lima created sex.

4)There are three things in the world, we can behold interminable. They are all belongs to Adriana.

5)Chuck Norris is just the result of Adriana`s and God`s love.

6)Sex with Adriana gives immortality.

7)Her child does not want to let off tit for hours.

Where did you get that from? Or is it just the manifesto on her sub-forum?

^Well it is the summer now - I guess they fly off somewhere too come April/May when it starts to get colder...

In truth I have no idea, as central Buenos Aires is the same as any major metropolitan city in that all you see in are palomas/pigeons. I have to say that when I lived in Melbourne it was cool as you saw loads of lovely bright coloured birds flying aorund al the time: galahs, rosellas and lorikeets. Really pretty. (Y) I'm sure out in the pampas there is lots more to see though. They probably leave the north for there if anywhere - it's just cows and grass.

These remind me of all these Chuck Norris 'jokes'

^Actually I think all's fair in that field - as both sets can butcher each other's accents with equal aplomb! But, yeah, the stiff-upper-lip or down-to-earth Brit-girl stereotypes are achingly hackneyed, Mr. Icon. My concern was more about the actresses themselves though, how they come across in interviews and chat-shows - it seems that Emma Thompson set down this template of being terribly self-deprecating and unfazed by Hollywood "glamour" which all who've followed in her successful wake slavishly follow... I find it a little tiresome and forced.

This pretty much nails it:

Haha, interesting. I really, however, want to see 'A Dangerous Method'. Keira will probably play herself again :-p

I´ve found that on youtube below one of the videos of hers it was so precious, just like Lay said, the Chuck-kind-of-jokes

Speaking about birds... we´ve already placed feeding nesting boxes many tomtits came, they were so adorable

^Probably! I didn't know about this film, so thanks. Mortensen, Fassbender and Cassell are likely to put a lot of female bums on seats too. And possibly not the normal demogrpahic for a film about Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud (although these actors are thinking-women's crumpet aren't they?!! ).

^Naturally!

Actually, I just like to see nature doing it's thing. And pretty birds are nice to see - makes a change from the vermin and bugs of the city... I just wish the colour pallet was better in Buenos Aires.

Joe hasn't come back on this yet (after instigating 'bird-talk'). Who does he think he is, Limerlight?!

^Never fear, if I was going to play Star Wars with anyone - it would be you, Red!

Thing is though, I've found the droids I was looking for:

^Pretty much the same. You have to go out of the city to see anything distinct or interesting... Like your tomtits. Nice pictures!
^ what about pigeons?
^Pigeon overload here, I guess all big cities have them? Flying rats...
