Title: Re: HAL Post by: spacey on March 14, 2008, 12:11:02 PM most.boring.movie.evar. Cool lego model, though. Almost as good as this one from this morning's Salt Lake Tribune: http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site297/2008/0313/20080313_032943_stpatsdrink.pdf
(Looks like kind of a sausage fest though.) Title: Re: HAL Post by: Uisce Beatha on March 14, 2008, 12:29:27 PM most.boring.movie.evar. I almost agree. If it wasn't for Eyes Wide Shut it would be #1. Kubrick blows. He appears about five times in my Top Ten *feces* Movies list. I suspect a doppleganger did Full Metal Jacket.

Title: Re: HAL Post by: gleek on March 14, 2008, 01:27:08 PM Kubrick blows. He did a couple of "just OK" films, didn't he?

(http://gardnerlinn.com/strangelove.jpg) Title: Re: HAL Post by: Uisce Beatha on March 14, 2008, 01:35:54 PM A Clockwork Orange is on that top ten list. Watched it twice to be sure and it blew worse the second time.
The Shining rules. Forgot about that one. Have to admit I've never seen Strangelove. Almost... a dozen times maybe but I'm predisposed to think it's gonna suck. ;) But I respect your right to be wrong. :D [sm_devil] Title: Re: HAL Post by: spacey on March 14, 2008, 02:15:13 PM A Clockwork Orange- weird movie based on an even weirder novel. I liked both, but can definitely see how others might not.
The Shining- Used to love this movie. I think I've seen it too many times now. Last time I watched it (last October) I found it sort of boring. Dr Strangelove- Brilliant Cold War satire. A bit dated but still a good romp. Title: Re: HAL Post by: stroh on March 14, 2008, 02:20:09 PM meh.

LMAO. Quote Disturbing Legos Public Forum Letter Article Last Updated: 03/17/2008 07:18:42 PM MDT I am a mother of young boys who love, love, love Legos. When I saw the Lego illustration in the paper, I thought, "How fun. What is this about?" I cannot express my surprise - then concern - then shock - then sickened feeling, as I realized that the cute, innocent Lego people were depicting how to order alcoholic drinks, tip a bartender and do a "pre-group huddle" before entering a bar ("Don't let the crowds stop you - getting a drink on St. Pat's is easy," Tribune, March 14). As a marketing angle, using Legos is an interesting tool to reach your target audience. Ages 21-35 would identify with Legos and would stop to read the little advice bubbles. This half-page Lego portrayal of adult behavior is disturbing for parents of children because of underage drinking behaviors. Children start to make decisions about drinking alcohol and participating in other adult behaviors between 8 and 12 years of age - the exact target age that the Lego company sells products to. I am throwing out your paper today because of the thoughtlessness and danger The Tribune has placed my children in. * Silly Git * Sandy LMAO some more. Title: Re: HAL Post by: Fuzzy on March 18, 2008, 08:00:41 AM I am outraged.

Title: Re: HAL Post by: Walfredo on March 18, 2008, 08:08:14 AM A Clockwork Orange- weird movie based on an even weirder novel. I liked both, but can definitely see how others might not. Agreed. The Killing was also a great heist film.The Shining- Used to love this movie. I think I've seen it too many times now. Last time I watched it (last October) I found it sort of boring. Dr Strangelove- Brilliant Cold War satire. A bit dated but still a good romp. I too think 2001 was meh and Eyes Wide Shut was alright. Title: Re: HAL Post by: spacey on March 18, 2008, 10:19:54 AM What next? Flavored beer in the grocery store? Won't somebody please think of the children?
Incensed and outraged. That's what I am. Title: Re: HAL Post by: stroh on March 18, 2008, 10:24:38 AM Naked Barbies

Quote Think of the children Public Forum Letter Article Last Updated: 03/18/2008 06:23:21 PM MDT I have a 7-year-old grandson living with me. As I opened The Tribune last Friday morning and saw the large Lego layout in "The Mix" section, my grandson was right at my elbow. "Read me what it says, Grandma," was his enthusiastic little voice in my ear. I was horrified to see that the Lego picture was all about how to get an alcoholic drink on St. Patrick's Day ("Don't let the crowds stop you - getting a drink on St. Pat's is easy," Tribune, March 14). What in the world are you thinking? If you are going to discuss adult themes, don't use children's toys to do it. I was so taken aback that I was speechless - horrified, actually. In the future, please think about the audience you are appealing to before you print something of that nature. We will have to get rid of that page of the paper before my grandson gets home from school so he won't try and read it himself. I have always loved The Tribune, but this morning's edition was tasteless and unbelievably insensitive. Impressionable young people read the paper, too. * Silly Git #2 * Sandy Silly Git #1 was surprised, concerned, shocked and sickened due to the thoughtlessness and danger The Tribune has placed her children in [ed: dpic]. Legogate baby!! [sm_rolling] |
