OT: It's a BUST guys: DA VINCI
twistedude:
My friend who had an anurism, and spends some time watching soap operas now, says both As the Wiorld Turns and General Hospital now incude prominent gay characters.
I didn't like Titanic very much. There, I've said it and I'm glad. Or West Side Stoiry, or The Sound of Music.
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus,
I'll watch the fellows practice
dropping bombs through the clean desert breeze.
I'll have on my sombrero,
and of course I'll wear a pair orf Levis
over my lead BVDs.
I'll leave the city's rush,
the fancy and the plsuh,
leave the snow and leave the slush
and crowd.
I'll seek the desert's hush
where the scenery is lush
How I long to see that mush
room cloud.
Mid the yucka and the thistles
I'll watch the guided missles
making holes in the...
enough...too much...
.Isn't it AMAZING that we all love "Brokeback Mountain"? I have a list of 50 favorite films, and none of the ones mentioned are on it...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Like it's predecessors, good not great film, has a built in audience all hyped up and ready to go years before the film hits the market
Collateral disappointed since Collateral seems to be in many ways a pale carbon copy of Heat, Michael Mann's previous film..just a rehash of preditory and prey again.
The Bourne Identity Surprisingly good, but then how far wrong can you go with Robert Ludlum
Mission Impossible III I haven't seen it but the teenage boys are sure raving about it....Hmmmm
The Matrix Sorry, confusing, convoluted seemed more suited to a video game or comic book
Legally Blonde spare me the whole series blonde movies makes Rees's I'm just trying to make a difference Oscar speech see disingeneous
Million Dollar Baby Excellent first rate film
Erin Brockovich Julia doing what Julia does best..kick ass story the fact that it's based in reality only enhanced that
Sin City I can go the rest of my life and never see this film again
King Kong Excellent effect, probably the best filmed version, but too long and ponderous
Forrest Gump A beautiful fable for now and the future
Contacttoughness and sensitivity, symbolism and passion, and the fact that it is a rare science fiction film, a gem which was released in a time where scientific intelligence in film has become a nothing short of a joke
Moulin Rouge T*R*A*S*H two hours of my life I will never get back for this..even Heath and Jake could not have save this tripe
Titanic Timeless, moving, and epic inspite of Leonardo DiCaprio
My point is we could probably go on all night like this, turning this into a tit for tat example of one-upmanship. Chris has made a very valid point about the marketability of film in our moderan society. Da Vinci code's $77 million weekend numbers back him up. Others have made their points about the more esoteric points of film as art. But Hollywood does NOT let loose the money to make ART unless a few Blockbusters come along to make big bucks first. SO thank god for films like Da Vinci code. The book fans will love it, Hollywood will rake in the cash and WE may get another BRILLANT film like Brokeback because of it.

Mourir pour ce qu'on aime
C'est un trop deux effort.
Rough transl: To die for one you love
Is too sweet an effort.

Sheyne: Out of the X-Men, I'd either be Mystique or Jean Grey, maybe I'd be a non-evil Phoenix ;D
Only 5 days 'til X-Men 3!!!
