Milkman delivers

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 05:07 PM) I guess I'm tired of the Pitt/Clooney "cutesy/clever" movies. The Coen Brothers are sometimes too smart for their own good (although still not in league of M. Night Shymalan)...they're writing for Hollywood and other writers, not "flyover country." Frances McDormand was the heart of that movie. I almost wanted it to go back to Michael Collins, with Clooney and Swinton reminding me of a much better movie. I gave Vicky Cristina Barcelona an exta 1/4th star for Scarlett Johannsen and Penelope Cruz making out, lol. Actually, the actress Rebecca Hall (she was also in The Prestige) was my favorite...Patricia Clarkson is always good, too. I was annoyed by two things....the over narration (intrusion of the voice) and J. Bardem constantly reminding Penelope Cruz to speak in English. He must have said that about 10 times! Once was enough...maybe because I was watching an on-line version with Chinese subtitles and my Spanish is getting a bit rusty. Never been a big C. Farrell fan. Brendan Gleeson is really underrated, and I thought Ralph Fiennes totally stole the movie with his comedic lines and delivery (much more fun than the overbearing The Constant Gardener, which was actually a much better book). In Bruges was definitely a "dark" comedy, with some serious themes...but it kept my interest, and the scenery was so different. The French actress (blonde hair) was cute, too...she's a keeper, I think. The next Julie Delpy, perhaps. Michael Clayton, for the first bold part. For the second one, I completely agree.

RIP.

I just got back from Frost/Nixon. IMO, there's your Best Picture. And I'm still of the opinion that Mickey Rourke deserves Best Actor, but I now wouldn't be that upset if Frank Langella won. A fantastic movie.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 12:14 PM) True. Always. With tall cool tropical umbrella drinks. The person below me is jealous of me because I made and drank several perfect potted planters punches last night and they didn't. Yesterday was a Monday. I'm not so much jealous as I am afraid that you're an alcoholic. QUOTE (Texsox @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 12:19 PM) True My copy of Sippin' Safari is on backorder. The person below me has bought a lottery ticket for an upcoming drawing. I hardly ever play the lottery, so false. The person below me wishes he could drink on a Monday night.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:47 AM) I figured it out just watching the trailer. Haha, I don't doubt that at all.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:43 AM) Maybe it was a bad night because I totally missed it. Usually with those movies I figure it out right away or the end scenario is so unrealistic that the movie sucks. This one was neither for me. I think it depended entirely on having Pacino and De Niro as its stars. It was decent enough for a slow night rental, but even those two couldn't save it for me.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 09:44 AM) Is that the one where Tom Hanks tries to save Sarah Marshall deep behind enemy lines in WWII? No no, it's the one where Steve Zaun and Jack Black save their friend, Amanda Peet, from her boyfriend that runs her life (played by the guy from American Pie).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 08:55 AM) So the wife and I have recently become addicted to Redbox, and have seen a whole slew of DVDs over the past couple weeks... Here are some quick thoughts. Saving Sarah Marshall was a must see. This was second to 40 year old virgin in that group of movies (superbad, knocked up, etc). Just hilarious. We actually watched it again, and it was even funnier the second time around. Rightous Kill was great as well. To be honest we rented it because Pacino and De Niro were in it, but wow. I won't spoil anything, but it got me. Hancock was god awful. I kept waiting for something to grab my attention, but it never did. When was the last good Will Smith movie? Legend was a bomb as well. Wall-E was a good movie. I don't know about all of the hype it got as one of the greats, but I did enjoy it. Eagle Eye I commented on above. I just couldn't get into the movie the whole time I was watching it. It didn't have one shred of believability, and I kept thinking that I had seen it before. Then I thought of War Games, and it was over. Get Smart I enjoyed. They really didn't give Steve Carrell as much of the Maxwell Smart lines and tics as I thought they would, but it wasn't bad. I completely disagree. That movie was terrible and predictable.

QUOTE (TheBlackSox8 @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) which did out of nominees? just curious what you think, I thought it would be either slumdog, revolutionary road, or benjamin button. I still haven't seen Frost/Nixon, and I won't be seeing The Reader or Revolutionary Road. So, I'm not sure about those three. The movie just didn't give me a "Best Picture" vibe. I mean, it was good, but not great.

I'm definitely rooting for the Cardinals.

I watched 1408 last night. It was so bland that I can hardly remember watching it. I saw Slumdog Millionaire earlier today. It was a very good movie, but I'm not sure it deserved to win Best Picture, which it did just now on the Golden Globes.

Mickey Rourke wins the Golden Globe!

Sort of true. I'm paying attention to the awards that I care about. The person below me sucks, but won't admit it.

Who is in both of your avatars?

QUOTE (The Bones @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) Movies I've seen recently... Ghost Town 5/10 In Bruges 6/10 The Visitor 7/10 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 6/10 I still need to see a few more movies from 2008 before giving a top 10 list or anything but I think this has been a down year for movies. I could name about 5 movies from 2007 that I liked more than any 1 film from 2008. I completely disagree.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 11:40 AM) Are you gonna avoid commenting on Cruise? Well, he sure wasn't bad in it. I guess he just didn't live up to his usual standards, as he's one of the best actors around.

QUOTE (TheBlackSox8 @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 02:11 AM) It's all opinion anyway... I really wanted to like it a lot, but couldn't. Clint Eastwood's performance was entertaining, and there were some great lines of dialogue from his character. I give it a 6.5/10 For entertaining me, I'd give it an 8. Eastwood has that "cowboy" role nailed down. The lone stranger thing just suits him.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 01:49 AM) Find me on the Soxtalk facebook page and ask me. I don't know everyone's real name... And I don't know yours, ha.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 01:48 AM) I know you won't let us down. I don't know if I get it. Do you mean that I'll keep you busy with deletions and such?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 10, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) I just hung out at the Soxtalk Facebook group and harassed everyone into being my friend. You didn't ask me, ya douchebag.

All quality guys. Congratulations.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 10, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) The biggest play of the game (the 3rd and long pass to Heap on the last drive) should have been a delay of game, and the fact a missed call was such a key factor in a playoff game is a shame. I'm still also curious as to if Flacco stayed in bounds when he rolled out at the very back of the end zone on a 3rd and long pass play before Baltimore punted in the 4th quarter. However, at the end of the day, Tennessee had 3 giveaways (one at the Baltimore 32, another at the Baltimore 17, and a third at the Baltimore 6) zero takeaways, and 12 penalties. You have nobody to blame but yourself when you put up those numbers and lose a playoff game. Those are the two biggest things that crossed my mind during that game.
