You are absolutely correct about most rockers think they are so so so important. I have a friend, who is a lead singer of a somewhat successful band, and he can't get enough of himself. That being said, I still feel like Bono's ego is a little bit larger than your ordinary rock star's.

Well, I have a different view of Bono.

Lets just leave it at this:
In the words of Fechin,

BONO RULES

Okay...haha. Inside...lol.

Haha.

Ryan Gosling, now?

Ryan Gosling is beautiful.

Did anyone see Half Nelson?

Yeah, I didn't remember how gorgeous he was in the Notebook until I watched it yesterday. Love that movie. He's so ah-dorable in the ferris wheel scene.

I didn't mean to interrupt your Ryan Gosling conversation...sorry

okay, yoru avatar did you check...i think i've seen that pic somewhere?? where did you find it?lol

Exactly. The big ego comes with the territory for being a rock star. You have to have some amount of ego just to do that job. The ones that come across as having no ego are simply better actors.

nothing to watch last nite, so I poped in Holes. It was actually pretty good. jon voight creeps me out though

Didnt think my bono comment would set off a chain reaction but atleast it's become a pretty good topic of conversationlol still dont like him though

I loved Holes. It was a great movie and they really took care to align it to the book, which is refreshing. I went last night to see Bridge to Teribithia, which was one of my favorite books growing up. They changed a LOT but it was still pretty good. I was very surprised, though, because judging from the reactions of the people in the theater, my sister and I were the only ones who had read the book. That's too bad because it is beautifully written. I hope they don't stop teaching it in schools just because there has been a movie.

HOLES was a good book.

BONO STILL RULES!

I never got to see pans labyrinth, sad about that.

jam 4, did you see the piece on U2 that said they are basically a underground christian movement?

No, When was this piece?

I think they are more about "Coexist"ing than Christianity...

It was the theme of the Vertigo tour...

it was on 60 mins a few weeks back. i'll have to find it for ya, was interesting

Okay.

Any chance we can stop the Bono/U2 hate? They are my fav band and I am really starting to get annoyed about this whole thing. You clearly hate them and I respect your opinion but I think we get the point.

Dare us not forget this is a MOVIE thread.

If you want to fight about if U2 is a cult or whatever PM each other about it.

Thanks

Here is the 60 mins piece: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/11/17/...in1053542.shtml

Says nothing of them being a cult.

Niiiice, Fechin.

My friend and I are both in law school and we both like movies, so we are starting a legal film series. Last night we watched "A Few Good Men," which I had never seen before - I liked it overall, but some of the lines were over-the-top-dramatic.

Here's our list so far:

To Kill a Mockingbird
The Paper Chase
Anatomy of a Murder
My Cousin Vinny
Rashomon
12 Angry Men
The Crucible
Judgment at Nuremberg
Shawshank Redemption (somehow I have never seen this one, so I can't wait!)

Our library has a lot of these on DVD for free rental! Wahoo!

That sounds like fun! The original 12 Angry Men is one of my favorite movies of all time, just for the pure brilliance of it. The entire movie takes place in one room, and yet it is intense, never boring, and some of the actors deliver incredible performances. The majority of movies don't ask you to think. This one does.
A Time to Kill and The Rainmaker were also great, although I guess I'm biased because I happen to be a John Grisham fan.

LOL

Star Wars Rules!

Maybe I'll watch A New Hope tonight after work

I'm sorry, but I think the Lord of the Rings is way better than Star Wars...

Well hard to compare when Lord of the Rings where based on some of the greatest books ever written.

Lord of the Rings are some of the best films I have ever seen and are better made than most of the Star Wars films.

Though Star Wars is my favorite and always will be it's been such a huge part of my life.

Well, I've seen all the Star Wars, and I still like LOTR better.... *please don't hurt me.........

Each is too his own LOTR is hella awesome

Mhmm, you know it! Aragorn is a hotty!!!!!!!! Also Frodo.

I would not know anything about that LOL

wow. Never wanted to start a fight about u2. Thats been taken alittle far. I'm not going to say another word about it though.

watched the crush today and cat woman...bad movieslol why did i watch themlol

Thank you Fechin,
for the U2 clarification.
BONO/U2 shall never be dissed again.
They should have never been dissed in the first place..but...Ok I am done.

Also,
STAR WARS is a classic and should be apprieciated.
The movies are real cool.
Also,
LOTR is very well made.
And the whole Aragorn hotness ordeal too.

My Cousin Vinny is one of my favorite movies ever made.
A Few Good Men is Tom Cruise at his finest, along with Jack, of course.

I'll bash U2 all I want. I don't care for them. Actually it has nothing to do with U2 themselves but with one of their fans. A guy I went to high school with was a creepy obsessive stalker type. (this was 1990, the term "stalker" hadn't even gotten into the pop vocabulary yet) One of the girls on my cross country team had to go to the school administrators to get him to leave her alone. Anyway, besided being a creepy guy he was also a huuuuuuge U2 fan. I mean like he was an even more fanatic U2 fan than we are office fans. I guess he kind of "tainted" U2 for me. U2 sucks. U2 sucks out loud.

Oh, also. I saw a promo for Black Snake Moan. My God does that look like a piece of s**t. Oh Samual L Jackson. Is there any script that you'll turn down?

Maybe he got tired of being the world's highest grossing movie star. (He passed up Harrison Ford a couple years ago.)
Sometimes there's relief in lowering people's expectations. He and Ford both seem to be taking that road these days, come to think of it.

http://boxofficemojo.com/people/?view=Acto...ross&p=.htm

They say Tom Hanks is the B.O. King. They don't count cameo roles etc etc...

Yeah the guy really needs to do some good movies I mean I like SJL but it's been awhile since he has done something good in my book.

That makes complete sense. When I saw the interview where he was bragging about being #1 at the B.O., it was including movies like Star Wars, in which he only had a minor role.

Little known fact: Harrison Ford was acutally in ET, but they cut out his part, so he doesn't get credit for it.

Cool I never knew that

Plus all of Ford's roles were main ones: Han and Indy etc.

I thought I heard that Sam Jackson had that title or something now

That's how this conversation started, on the previous page.

sorry muffy...wasn't paying attention too well. fighting with my mother again. Read it again more carefully....guys are right he doesn't turn down anything.lol please dont talk about black snake moan.horrible isnt the wordlol next up sam jackson does the remake of a beloved classic...mary popins...you wait til will happenlol

Has Samuel made any good films?
Good as in Oscar worthy?

Fill me in.

Pulp Fiction he was Nominated for an Oscar

He's got some real talent but lending it to real junk lately

Thank for that Fechin...

Slipped my mind.



Is that the only one?
Hhaa

I wonder where Hugo Weaving falls on the Box Office list. He was in all the Matrix and LOTR movies. That right there should put him up pretty high.

Boxofficemojo does not have him on the site for some reason. It would be interesting to see if they would count his roles in LOTR since it was minor.

Just got done watching "Contact" great film.

Are you kidding me, Fechin?

I was watching Contact too!
CW right?

Wierd...

I agree, great film.
Crazy how they didn't believe her!

I rented Marie Antoinette tonight. I thought it was quite good. I've read that a lot of people didn't like it.....for whatever reason I like how Sophia Coppola portrayed the time period with all the bright colors. I also liked how she put modern music as a soundtrack with a period film- it was different but I thought it worked well.

simpsons movie preview looks really great!

SLJ did win a bafta for his role in Pulp Fiction, so that's the perfect example. I thought his performance in Jackie Brown was even better. He was also great in Jungle Fever, A Time To Kill, and Die Hard 3.

I think Black Snake Moan looks really good. Good enough to catch in the theater. It has 88% on the Tomato Meter, that's all I need. Plus, I loves me some Christina Ricci.

Enough of this SLJ hate.
