Richard Curtis is one of the guys behind Blackadder, and thus deserves nothing but your prostate… er, **prostrate ** gratitude.
So what are these so-called “spoiler boxes”? I can see them up there, but there is no “spoiler” button on my editor, and as a longtime web editor I have never heard of a <spoiler> tag. Do you just change the text color?
Let me try that.

[spoiler]No Peeking![/spoiler]
…will parse as: No Peeking!.
I think the dumbest aspect of the “science” in *Face/Off * is that a plot point hinges on the results of one of the switched characters’ blood test. The Cage and Travolta characters have different blood types. Um, good luck with that whole transplant thing (never mind the fact that their bone structures are also completely different, etc.).
I like the movie though. It’s not like it takes itself too seriously. I can accept *Armageddon * for the same reason. It exists to be goofy and fun.
More info found in the Sticky Thread at the top of Cafe Society.
No, no, no. Amateurs. It’s all about Brotherhood of the Wold, man - it’s an interesting piece of action/horror fluff until things begin to be made clear, all of which are dumb and suck. But the real kicker, the thing I always forget about when somebody pops the movie in until I remember and go :wally , is when you find out that
The villian is the guy who couldn’t be doing it becuase he’s only got one arm. Turns out he’s just had the other arm stuck up his ass for a few decades.
Yeah.
I rather adored Ms. Judd in De-Lovely.
And hey, I also liked Love, Actually. There is a time and a place for schmaltz, and that was it. It didn’t pretend to be anything other than it was, which was a pleasant, funny, sweet lovefest. With Colin Firth and Alan Rickman.
BRUCE WILLIS A SLED! ROSEBUD IS A GHOST!
Excellent. Thanks for the tip. I will make it a personal mission to peruse the stickies for more trickery.
Not to mention the absence of security cameras! Okay, so they thought their security could not possibly be breached. But when that level of security is necessary, you don’t even trust the people who do have clearance. There would have been a camera to watch the employees before you even start worrying about intruders.
I’d like to nominate Secret Window.
In my effort to catch up on movies I’ve missed over the last three years, I rented this loser and tried to watch it. Hey! I enjoy a good scary suspenseful movie. I even find it pretty easy to suspend disbelief, a knack that lets me enjoy movies many people detest. That being said, however, I was completely unable to suspend disbelief and allow myself to believe that the stupid writer would actually go back and stay alone in his cabin out in the middle of nowhere after his dog was killed and he was threatened by the extremely weird and menacing Shooter (John Turturro–doing an amazing job, as usual). I turned it off and took it back that night.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I searched cafe society the next morning and learned that Johnny Depp’s character was psychotic and Shooter was actually Depp or something like that. Still, I just couldn’t buy it. Pretty darn stoopid.
That part is believable, actually. You don’t want security cameras to possibly record ANYTHING being entered.
I only heard about this today, my friend says he saw this movie, yes, bear with me, that was japanese. Now apparently it had just been your average mob movie (you know, pistols, some knives, nothing too gruesome or supernatural in this one) until the last scene… when this happens:
The two mob heads are in a room. Suddenly out of nowhere, one pulls a bazooka out from behind his back, the other mob head, rips his own beating heart from his chest. The bazooka gets fired and the other guy throws his heart at him. They heart and ammo collide and the world explodes.
Just, WTF?
