The Dark Knight Rises

 

I thought this would be good, but it was far better than I'd hoped for. Really enjoyed this; slightly corny at times, but mostly great and with a fantastic ending.

 

Oh, and Marion Cotillard > all other women! :quagmire:

"Apollo 18" (2011)

 

Faux-documentary style "found footage" horror flick purported to be filmed during a doomed 1974 hush-hush secret mission to the moon, where the astronauts encounter something nasty on the lunar surface and it all ends badly.

Basically a sci-fi twist on the "Blair Witch" formula, this flick started off slow but when it finally started kicking into high gear I actually jumped a couple of times. Better than expected.

Just watched w/my 9 year old...

"Air Bud: Golden Receiver"

After mastering basketball in the first "Air Bud," this sequel finds the heroic Golden Retriever discovering that he also has a talent for football. Naturally, since this is a Disney movie, he helps his owner's (losing) team make it to the state playoffs, but some creepy animal thieves are lurking in the wings, hoping to steal Bud and make him the headlining act of their traveling animal circus.

Fun for kids, relatively painless for parents.

I'm gonna have to watch something gory and violent later tonight to counteract all the sweetness in this flick!

As an antidote to "Air Bud: Golden Receiver"...

"PIRANHA" (1978)

 

Classic fishy B-flick from Roger Corman in which a horde of hungry piranhas escape from a secret Army testing lab into a Texas river, and immediately begin munching on the local population whilst a skip tracer and the local drunk try to stop them. Nothin' fancy here, just good ole fashioned action packed gory mayhem. This is one of the best "B's" of the '70s in my book.

Fun fact: Steven Spielberg hired director Joe Dante to do "Gremlins" on the strength of his work on this film, which he called "The best Jaws ripoff I've ever seen."

"Whip It" (2009)

Drew Barrymore's directorial debut is a quirky dramedy about a dorky Texas teenager (Ellen Page) who discovers a whole new side of herself when she joins a rough-and-tumble women's roller derby league. The trailers I'd seen promised something a bit more action packed and slap sticky, but I was entertained.

Extra props for Page's character owning a vintage Stryper t-shirt that becomes a major plot point, and for Juliette Lewis still being hot in a totally skanky way as Page's arch-rival from another derby team.

"The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" (2007)

[media=]

[/media]

 

Absorbing documentary set in the high pressure world of competitive classic arcade gaming (yes, there really is such a thing), focusing on the battle to set a new world record high score on Donkey Kong. The main players are Billy Mitchell, a smug prick with a mullet who's held the Donkey Kong record since the 1980s, and challenger Mike Wiebe, a middle school science teacher and decent family man who simply yearns to make his mark on the world somehow. Color commentary is provided by a variety of other major playas in the competitive video game world, i.e. a lot of sad-sack middle aged fanboys who have probably never seen a naked woman.

This movie plays like one of Christopher Guest's mock-umentaries ala "Best in Show" or "This Is Spinal Tap," but nope, this is the real deal... these people actually exist. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll roll your eyes and say "Wow, I am *really* glad I don't live next door to that guy."

"Tommy" (1975)

Lavishly produced, totally over the top bizarro film adaptation of The Who's famed rock opera about a traumatized "deaf dumb and blind kid" who becomes a pinball champion and then a messiah.

Great cast including Ann-Margret (hot!), Jack Nicholson (who actually sings, briefly!), Tina Turner, Elton John, and Eric Clapton.

The movie doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense but it's certainly a worthy watch just for the trippy visuals, particularly for the scene when a drunken Ann-Margret rolls around in a puddle of baked beans. :D

Piranha - probably the best movie I've ever seen, and anyone who's seen it may not agree but can probably figure out the reason. ;) Deliciousness everywhere! The underwater scene with Kelly Brook and the blonde girl with implants was out of this world. Aside from the obvious exploitation of sluts, the movie itself was better than the norm when it comes to this kind of stuff. It was stupid and knew it was, but didn't come off as ridiculous as similar films. Good stuff. :)

    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
