He didn’t, true. But the drugs were being taken by the lowlives, who he was hobnobbing with. It’s the decadence I’m interested in, see; if everyone around me is taking drugs and gettin’ it on with beautiful people, they won’t care if I only opt for one of those two activities.
I thought Vin was hotter in [bPitch Black**, myself. He was so bad.
jarbaby - I am with you, Vin Diesel is HOT, he looks like his name.
I need to check out Pitch Black.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
Saw the movie. Thought it was stupid, pointless fun. I guess I was a little surprised at how it was exactly like a Bond movie wrapped up in a teen-approved, “extreme sports” package. I was expecting it to be a little different - more edgy, perhaps. It was a completely inoffensive stunt-o-rama, nothing more.
As for the writing - the minute I realized that it was a re-packaged Bond film (and by the way, try to deny that the reason that this film “works” - if you liked it, that is - is because Diesel packs a little of the Sean Connery masculinity into the mix - other than that, what is different from any other Bond film) - any hope for quality writing went out the window.
Bottom line? I don’t listen to the Backstreet Boys expecting to hear the Beatles, y’know? (okay, I don’t listen to the Backstreet Boys period, but you get the idea.)
BTW, the best Bond-like film, IMHO, is still True Lies.
He is so hot in Pitch Black that some posters may remember that I actually pulled a muscle in my stomach “vigorously thinking” about it later.
<cough>
And we eagerly await the arrival of Riddick, so that we may worship at his alien ass-kicking feet once more . . .
And the fact that the movie opened with a Rammstein concert has nothing to do with it, hmm? 
I have no idea what you’re talking about
Well, that just goes to show how huge a nerd I am. In the theater, I really really did think to myself, “Oooh, jarbaby’s going to love this.”
Not that I have ever met or direcrtly spoken to jar. Viva la Internet!
According to GQ, he also likes Dungeons and Dragons.
And what is Brian Urlacher going to say.
There’s always room for two hulking babes in the Jarbaby bed of conception.

For what it’s worth, I totally enjoyed the movie. Everything about it was unrealistic. How on earth would you expect an American extreme athlete to infiltrate an Eastern European gang? How is it an American is able to bark out orders to a foreign police force and they will obey him? In the movie, Vin Diesel refuses cigarettes, claiming they’ll kill the guy offering. Later on, he’s proved right. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Rammstein in the opening sequence. I was sure jarbabyj would really enjoy this movie.
I took my 12 year old nephew to this - he loved it. This definitely isn’t the kind of movie you go to expecting realistic plot lines or good acting. But wasn’t it like, totally AWESOME when he like, grinded with that cafe tray!??!! RAWWWWWK!!
And let’s not forget how hot he looked doing it. In that faux fur coat.
YEEEEOOOWCH
I’d like to bake him a cake with low fat frosting…if you know what I mean.
Uh, no, but I’m instinctively shying away from inquiry.

i went into this movie expecting to see a stupid action movie, but thought it would be a lot of fun, a guilty pleasure. I was totally disappointed. First problem, this guy is supposed to be a heartthrob action star, but that kiss was the UGLIEST, NASTIEST thing i’ve ever seen on film…it was just completely akward. Second, during the scene when he did a rail slide on a catering tray, that in itself was really really cheesy, but the sound effect was worse than nails on a chalkboard and made me want to rip my ears off. As a point of fact, someone had asked what VIN DIESEL’s name is, it is Mark(c?) Vincent. This movie was made with considerable effort, but all of it towards hitting a target audience, it was made much like a tv show, by committee. I’d take any james bond flick over this film and would nto see it again.
There’s a line in the movie where someone says “Bitches, come?” I wasn’t going to bother with this one, but if they’re going to be making Robocop jokes, maybe it is worth my time.
-fh
The equivalent cackle-worthy line in Robocop was “Bitches leave!” Clarence Boddiger was a much better bad guy than generic eurotrash.
My inner 13 year old child really enjoyed XXX for what it was. It made me cackle pretty much right through it.
