> [@Nightwatch Trailer](#): > > Believe it or not, I’ve heard _National Treasure_ is actually not bad in an action-y kind of way, despite the laughable name and execrable [sub]Nightwatch[/sub] trailer. I heard it’s good too, but it complety copies the book the da vinchi code, which is great. ---

Peter Sarsgaard is in it (same dude from shattered glass) he was in Garden state (best movie) and he is soo talented, so just for that i will see kinsey ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Wow, I can’t believe I missed that one. Maybe I can find it at the videostore? I’m sure he died some horrible death in that movie, although his fate was probably not as horrible as that which awaited his audience, so his histrionics are understandable. It’s goofy as all heck, and probably not too hard to rent. > [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Any other films out there worth seeing? I doubt I’ll be able to sell _SpongeBob_ to my 40-something guy friends. \*Kinsey \* is supposed to be really good, but I haven’t seen it yet. We saw _Seed of Chucky_ this weekend and it’s hilarious in it’s own totally f’ed up way. Do you and your friends like seeing Jennifer Tilly running around in revealing outfits? Gratuitous gore played for comedy? Demented puppetry? If so, it’s good times. Have plenty of beer first! ---

Yeah…listening to Nicholas Cage say, very seriously, “The back of the dollar bill is trying to tell me something…” pretty much decided it for me.

Probably around 2am, and it’ll wake me from a sound sleep. 😛 quote=cbawlmer]I know there’s no obvious way of knowing this from this thread, but I’m not a man! Cary Elwes was in Shadow of the Vampire. I hope we haven’t used that yet. [/quote] That was actually not a bad movie… sorry about the gender thing, I’m horrible at guessing, ask anyone. Willem Dafoe was just too bizarre as the guy they got to play Nasferatu. ---

Well, I went with _Platoon_ because there are so many interesting character actors involved. I responded to Berenger last time around, IIRC, so I’m going to let someone else use him this time. ---

D’you know, I almost always get him mixed up with Mac Davis? I almost said _North Dallas Forty_.
