Tomo assisting Seibei on his hair for his final battle I hadn't had much to do this afternoon, and still had a couple of movies to watch, which I bought a while ago. One of them was Tasogare Seibei (Or the Twlight Samurai) which I had never seen before. It's a pretty nice movie. It's a nice, somewhat casual story about a samurai (Seibei) that's been taking it a bit easier after his wife died of TBC. He basically wants to be left alone by family who are choosing rich wives for him to get him out of poverty, at some points it has got something of an Ozu, with all the family drama. After a while he gets in contact again with his youthfriend (Tomoe, a girl of course), and the romance, which is of course very shy and respectfull, starts to grow a bit. Seibei is a bit stubborn, so the romance stays out a bit till later parts in the movie, where presure gets high when Seibei needs to fight a dangerous samurai. All in all it's a prety modest movie, about a modest samurai, here and there some really interesting parts in it. Everything is done on a easy going pace, it's calm and relaxing, for same maybe slow, but never boring. If you find it at a renting place, take it with you, it's nice to see sometime. It was good, and nice, but nothing too special. So I don't really know where that 8.1 from IMDB is comming from, as it wasn't a 'masterpiece' or something. I'm keeping it on a 7.5

No, of course not.

Don't know, maybe it's comming up with Johny Depp because I have a little beardy. I don't know.

Right, took a good straight faced picture for it now.. Gary Barlow - 72% Guy Pearce - 71% Johny Depp - 71% Alexis Denisof - 70% David Beckham - 68% Chad Michael Murray - 67% Kim Rossi Stuart (yea, this actually is a non-korean guy) - 67% Patrick Dempsey - 64% David Lloyd George - 64% Joel Madden - 64%

Perhaps the one with the big nose. ;)

They're fun because they boost your ego, Bubs. Look at my result. You Are An ESFP The Performer You are a natural performer and happiest when you're entertaining others. A great friend, you are generous, fun-loving and optimistic. You love to laugh - and you like almost all people equally. You accept life as it is, and you do your best to make each day fantastic. You would make a good actor, designer, or counselor. What's Your Personality Type? http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyourpersonalitytypequiz/ I mean, that boosts my ego, right?

The world would be a whole lot better if little green men in UFO's came down to earth to abduct rednecks.

Not, we should go out together sometime. :P

Shame we're not allowed to post real life pictures to compare. Though my daddy gave me permission to put a photo of myself on the internet.

Hahaha, this is really cool! :lol: Oy, I used the Orlando Bloom look-a-like pic. :P 73% Johny Depp. *weird* But also this... haha, I'm going to try more pics. :')

Ok, I dare you to... do the boogie-woogie! \ *How2PK Boogie-Woogies* All night long baby! Now gimme a twist!

New album pl0x.

You've got about three very important decades in the history of cinema. The first is of course the period from lets say 1895 till 1910 with especially the LumiÃÆÃâÃâère brothers and MÃÆÃâÃâéliÃÆÃâÃâès, basically inventing cinema, and giving the first 'rules', the first special effects etc. Then you've got the sixties, with everything being re-invented by the critics of the Cahiers du Cinema, who started making movies and came with the Nouvelle Vague streaming, also giving a real boost to art-cinema. And then you've got the 20s, with masters like Eisenstein coming up with Montage, Lang, Wiene and Murnau comming out with the German expressionism which has got a major influence, you've got Chaplin and Keaton giving the base for the comedy genre, and finally you've got BuÃÆÃâÃâñuel, brining surrealism to the big screen. And this was done by making Un Chien Andalou (or An Andalusian Dog), a mind-blowing short movie of 17 minutes, that may even be the most analyzed, perhaps even overanalyzed piece of celluoid in the history of cinema. There's some decent explanation for the opening. the famous scene with BuÃÆÃâÃâñuel sharpening his razor on the leather and the woman's eye being cut open, which is of course an easily recognized metaphor for montage in movies (You really don't need Robert Short's horrible audio commentary to find that out). But after that everything is a litte bit harder to explain. Personally I believe that it is about loneliness and sex mostly, and everything men want and need to do to get into the heart of woman and their hunger for that piece of ultimate intimacy. The famous cutting scene. Where is proven how the montage can set the mood and horrify the audience. This truly is a very great piece of cinema, not only for bringing surrealism to the screen and being an influence to a lot of modern directors, this movie is more than 'historical value', with all it's symbolism, nightmarish atmosphere and dazzling editing work this movie will give you more to think than most movies released nowadays. It should also be noted that DalÃÆÃâÃâí helped writing the script for this movie, as he would in BuÃÆÃâÃâñuel's next and final, but feature length, PURE surrealist movie L'Age D'or. Both movies can't be missed by anyone who is seriously interested in movies, and basically everybody should see Un Chien Andalou. 10/10 For those interested, you can buy a combination box of Un Chien Andalou and L'Age D'or at Play.com, it comes in two discs, one with Un Chien Andalou and the documentary A propÃÆÃâÃâósito de BuÃÆÃâÃâñuel and L'Age D'or with full audio commentary on the second disc. This is the UK-release brought to you by BFI. And there's also a release for our American friends, which can be found here. :) [EDIT] Always wondered what Debaser by the Pixies is about? It's about Un Chien Andalou. ;)

Fine, wanna take this to the dancefloor? =;

Don't worry. Of course they'll get home, just a little bit later. I'm sure everything will work out just fine. :)

There's enough said about the test already, so I figured I might as well answer what came close enough to myself on the questions that didn't really apply to me.

I'm bussy watching The Pink Panther, and after the first 45 minutes I already think this is the worst movie I've ever seen. This is absolutely terrible, I'd be ashamed to send something like this into theaters. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece or something, but this is even worse than I thought. Everything is just like this big chain of lamest jokes ever. They really aren't funny. And then, at the end of every scene, comes a joke that's even worse than all the jokes of that scene combined. What were these guys thinking? Are they even thinking? I honestly can't imagine somebody thinking this is funny, or a good movie. AVOID AT ALL COST! *shakes head*

Yea, it's quite stupid. Just ask them to name as many good albums they know from this year, and then ask them the same question of albums released in 1968. Music nowadays really isn't that bad.

I liked her back then. Now she just looks, acts and sounds like a cheap you know what. :( Yea, though Dirty is kind of sexy. :oops: :3>

Liverpool, Barcelona and Feynoord. 8-)

Christina Aguilera - Genie in a Bottle. <3

Matt's friend was right. ;) Great album btw. I don't think Matt's friend is browsing the forums, so it's Matts turn again. ;)

They're kings of an unexisting kingdom.

It's bad weather, so I started watching some movies I already saw... I started with Cul-de-sac which is one of the coolest comedies out there. Too bad it's so underrated in the oevre of Polanski. Together with Noz w Wodzie and Repulsion this is my favorite Polanski. :) That was the first one, I'm going to do some more in a few minutes. :)
