spiderman 2: best shit ever

Once upon a time in mexico: absolute crock of shite.

which is odd, as i'd have expected it to be the other way around. oh well.

 

[Goodbye]

there you go now


PLOT SPOILING STATEMENT TO FOLLOW!!!! IF YOU HAVE NOT, I REPEAT NOT SEEN SPIDERMAN 2 DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaysus buh de bih in de operaytun rowim when doc ocks tenticals came to life was the most expensive instalment of de evil dead trilogy yet! fuckin ROCKED!!!

 

[Alan Remorse]

was it me or was that part way too violent for a PG movie? im far too conservative.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Escape from L.A. is on BBC1 London later

I like it

 

[Alan Remorse]

i dunno, its years since i've seen it but LA isnt half as good as Escape From New York, it just doesnt have the same "bleak" feel, and its much too stylised for my liking... still its good for a laugh, AND it has Steve Buscemi and Pam Grier so you can hardly complain!

you'd miss donald pleasance though

 

[Alan Remorse]

my fave carpenter movies are still Assault on precinct 13 and The Thing.

 

[oh shit]

my fave carpenter movies are still Assault on precinct 13 and The Thing.

have you seen Dark Star? Best thing ever.

 

[Alan Remorse]

shit yeah, Dark Star is fuckin brilliant! The Red Dwarf of the seventies!

and who could forget Big Trouble In Little China...

 

[nlgbbbblth]

speaking of Kurt Russell, I've just finished watching Breakdown

very enjoyable Duel-like thriller
great truck scene at the end
J.T.Walsh - pure evil

 

[Ed]

kurt russell is great.
Big trouble in little china is one of my favourite films ever, he's really good in the thing aswell which is another of my favourite films. Generally i just think john carpenter is amazing.

 

[RENODIVORCE]

Cool you all like John Carpenter Flicks, Hella good for sure. Do any of you like Quentin Terentino movies?

 

[thegoone]

if its half as shite as spiderman 1 then spiderman 1 will have been twice as shite as its sequel

spidey 2 is deadly.
much more of a sam raimi movie with nods to dark man and evil dead

there's another cameo by bruce campbell too. he's starting to look a bit old though

Kurt Russell rules. Escape from New York is amazing, Escape from LA is nowhere near as good but has one of the best endings to any film ever. The Thing is totally amazing too of course.
They Live is surely the best John Carpenter film though, totally incredible. It even held the record for the longest fight scene in a film. Anything with Keith David is always going to be amazing. Actually apparently the fight scene was real too, except for when they punched each other in the face. Amazing.

Ahhhh just noticed someone mentioned J.T Walsh, fuckin amazing! One of the best rent-a-bad guys ever, too bad he is dead he ruled.

I watched the Nunchuka scene from Enter the Dragon yesterday, amazing.

 

[ostrichsyndrome]

I watched American Splendor... it a pile of shit, anyone who says this is good needs their head checked.

i also watched willy wonka, kinda fun after all these years

 

[george mcfly]

assault on precinct 13 and the thing are definitely carpenter's best. i think precinct 13 just wins it for dialogue and for the most amazing arm breaking scene in any movie ever

after that, the fog definitey and prince of darkness, even if they're both basically a re-working of precinct 13
(which is a re-working of rio bravo anyway)

 

[Alan Remorse]

i must say i dont really like The Fog, far too slow... Actually, In The Mouth OF Madness is a deadly Carpenter film too, totally underrated. Big Trouble In Little China is just amazing. But Precinct is my fave.

i think Spidey 2 was totally class, and i dont go for that sorta thing at all. Its true that its definitely more of a "Sam Raimi" joint, and im a sucker for the whole "inner turmoil" thang.

yeah, was talkin with my girlf bout how Bruce is starting to look a bit old... we'll always love him though.

 

[Goodbye]

I'm a huge fan of carpenter, but ghosts on mars is by far one of the worst movies i have ever seen

 

[Alan Remorse]

yeh its bloody terrible

 

[Cormcolash]

As far as I'm concerned John Carpenter died just after he made Escape From LA, and therefore couldn't have made any films since then.
