But also it resulted in replacing it with another Technology eDonkey, which too is being targeted by MPAA but not as aggressively, and even then there are other options available.

Review: Batman

http://krisandapril.us [for better or for worse] Of course, no one can play Batman like Michael Keaton plays Batman, but Christian Bale does a hell of a job. The story is absolutely compelling, the romance is minor, the action is jam packed, and the comedy is refreshing.

The Dying Gaul

[Max Power Blogs] Atlanta - Saw the movie “The Dying Gaul” tonight as part of the Atlanta Film Festival. I am a big fan of Peter Sarsgaard, probably because he oozes sex appeal and seems to play gay characters often even though he is straight (supposebly). It was a pretty good indie film - about a gay screenwriter who unwittingly gets involved in a three-way relationship after the death of his lover.

What a dirty, dirty shame

serialdeviant.org(y) weblog[serialdeviant.org(y) weblog] It’s about sex addicts, starring Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Isaak, and Selma Blair. John Waters sets up situations (accidental concussions spark a complete loosening of inhibitions and the sufferers begin to openly indulge their deepest, darkest fetishes) and it all just goes crazy. Like all his films I’ve seen thus far (Cry-Baby, Polyester, Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living), it’s rude and shocking, but it’s not in any way pornographic.

He sits and watches the world around him, and as we watch him pondering the comings and goings of the hotel guests we wonder why he is there, and what else there is to know about him. Olivia Magnani plays Sofia, the regular bar assistant at the hotel who has watched Titta for many months and is seemingly facinated by this wrapped up and lonely middle-aged man.

Now that season one is available on DVD, I grabbed it as soon as I could and have been happilly working my way through the 6 DVDs.

The Brotherhood of War (Taegukgi hwinalrimyeo, South Korea, 2004, DVD)

[goyablog] The one-liner take-home universal message of this film is: war fucks people up. The Brotherhood of War (Tae Guk Gi) starts off looking like a sappy patriotic tearjerking war drama that follows the fate of two brothers who are swept up into the Korean War, with the main story line being the elder brother’s love and protection of the younger brother for whom he risks his own life so that the younger brother might be discharged and sent home to take care of Mom. Things get interesting, however, when the elder brother (Jin-tae, played by Korean heartthrob Jang Dong-kun) gets carried away in his effort to distinguish himself in battle for the sake of his brother (Jin-seok, played by Won Bin) and commits a few war crimes along the way involving the slaughter of unarmed prisoners and the like. The better soldier this shoeshine boy becomes””out of love for his brother””the further apart from his brother he becomes.

Kingdom of Heaven (England, 2005, Theater)

[goyablog] I’d guess that three things were stacked against Kingdom of Heaven from getting more than mixed reviews (except from Roger Ebert, who rated it highly, as do I): 1) People predisposed to think that Orlando Bloom was too much of a lightweight for the charisma assumed necessary for the role of the hero Balian; 2) The generous portrayal of the Muslim Saracens (and correspondingly ungenerous portrayal of the Christian Knights Templar as religious fanatics hellbent on war); 3) The not-so-veiled political allegory of the Middle East present; and 4) ””oh! four, there are four things stacked against this film: the above mentioned three plus knit-picky medievalists.

Unleashed (France et al., 2005, Theater)

[goyablog] The speed and pacing of the opening bone-crushing fight scenes (some fights are simply alluded to quickly rather than shown) set Li (Danny) up as a kind of automaton that his master (Bob Hoskins as Bart the loan shark) can switch on and off to do his bidding (”my own guided missile”) so the viewer really doesn’t know Danny’s true state of mind. When a chance encounter with piano tuner Morgan Freeman opens up Danny’s traumatic past and inner child, glimmers of humanity return and seemingly take over. The length of the sequence of his “civilizing” at the hands of Freeman and his 18-year-old pianist daughter allows the viewer time enough to almost forget that Danny used to break backs, crush rib cages, and crack skulls for a living. He loses his automaton quality so that when he is reluctantly forced to kick more ass at the end of the movie it’s done in a very different tone, although the results are similar (he merely maims horribly rather than outright kills his opponents).

More fluff

[The Rantings of Eric Nehrlich] A couple more books from my mindless fluff library trip. Broken Angels, by Richard K. Morgan. Cyberpunk-y novel about a far future where personalities are downloadable into different human bodies, essentially making people immortal. Not too thrilling. But I read it anyway, because it was from the library and therefore free. Astro City Vol. 1: Life in the Big City, by Kurt Busiek. A graphic novel collection of a comic that I’ve heard good things about. Busiek is subverting the superhero comic by examining what the rest of the people living in a city with superheroes would feel and how they would react. It’s kind of an interesting take on things, but not too compelling...

Moviegoers staying home

[~Tech Angel~] However, I do believe that DVDs have made a big impact on movies.  There have been many times where we've decided not to go see a movie simply because we were on the fence and knew it would be out on DVD in a couple of months anyway.  With the decreased amount of time between theatrical release and the DVD release, this will happen more and more with moviegoers.  I remember when it used to take a year or so for movies to come out and that was the deciding factor in going to go see an "on-the-fence" movie.

Revenge of the Sith

[Something Requisitely Witty and Urbane] Revenge of the Sith will, of course, be dark as any film dealing with a character who gives himself to "The Dark Side" should be.  There was simply no point where I felt the weight of these long forecast (backcast?) moments.  The fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader should have been the titanic clashing of two iconic characters combined with the weight of a moment that we all knew was coming, but can't wait to see.  Instead we got a over-indulgent CGI fight scene in which the characters go through the motions and hit every obligatory plot-point to fulfill the necessary story-lines.

[Just a little something] At the theatres: Watched Star Wars, Episode III (Revenge of the Sith) and I must say that I found it better than the last installment (Attack of the Clones). Though I’m not a Star Wars fanatic, I do admire George Lucas for dreaming up such an immense saga (and that too, not in order!)I guess Star Wars fans will probably like this version going by the way the movie is raking in the moolah. This is also the last installment, the one that seals all the episodes, so I guess the reception is expected.

Donald's Place[Donald's Place] I went to see Star Wars Episode 3 last night at 12:01.  Yep I went to the first showing.  Yes I took a vacation day today so I would not have to go to work.  I don’t know what to say except it is jammed with action from beginning to end.  The best light saber duals yet.  The story was good and there were no annoying characters like Jar Jar.  The stir about the political message in the movie that has been out there is wrong.  I see what they are saying but people for get the story line was out there before Star Was, A New Hope was made in 1976.

Stillman's Barcelona

[The Fifth Column] Really. If you can stand a movie that is basically people reading off of cue cards, that is. Not a whole lot of emotional range in this one, which is perfect since the main characters are supposed to be cardboard cutout Merikkans.

(Compulsory) Star Wars Review

http://chrispoole.com [chrispoole.com] Not going to write too much here as everyone else who seems to blog and has seen it also seems to be blogging about it. But it is very, very good! A definite improvement on episodes 1 and 2 (mainly due to a far stronger story line I feel), and the effects were the best of any Star Wars film so far (this is to be expected I suppose).

[~Tech Angel~] Experts said they expected "Sith" to easily gross between $35 million and $40 million on its first day in North American theaters alone.  That would put it in the same league as "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," "The Matrix Reloaded," "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," "Spider-Man" and its sequel.

What's in a title?

[Mythos of a Sorority Geek] Oh well. I’d like to see someone who can truly make it through life without at some point in time offending someone else, or hurting his feelings. Aside from technological advances, I enjoy watching sci-fi because it gives me a hope for a new tomorrow, be it Heinlein’s often mocking vision of where we are going and what we’re doing to ourselves, Battlestar Galactica’s hunt for a new tomorrow and the strength of the human race in the face of diversity, or Gene Roddenberry’s dream of what the human race will do for the rest of the Universe. Science Fiction is a broad and diverse category, sometimes full of hope and sometimes full of dispair.

Review (not mine): Star Wars III

[Twenty Onwards] The new Star Wars will be the first movie i'll be watching in a theatre in months, because its not every day i prefer to go pay 10 bucks and take a chance. However, for Star Wars, i have spent $11(+$5 concession stand) and will be waiting in line for hours to get a good seat, so this movie better be good. One of the toughest critics in the United States are at the NY Times, but they have actually come out and said this is the finest Star Wars movie ever made even better than the first original one. Its a hell of a Review and plus you can see trailors for all the movies in the saga along with other stuff.

"Advice and Consent"

[BloggerRadio.com] Frank Rich recalls the 1962 film, "Advice and Consent" and reminds us that right-wing gay bashing and sexual hypocrisy have been standard operating procedures for a long, long time. Rich mentions homophobic Jesse Helms' political operative Arthur Finkelstein, who just wed his same-sex partner in Massachusetts as one current example; and anti-gay Spokane WA mayor James E. West, just caught trolling for gay encounters on the Internet, as another.

HEART ON HER SLEEVE

[Clive Davis] . .She then read her bit about Carlos Rojas, a videographer documenting violent atrocities against his indigenous ethnic group in Oaxaca. "Brutalized, attacked, imprisoned and tortured by the Mexican military, the Mixe found themselves without a voice," Cameron read. Then, looking up at the audience, puppy dog eyes wide, she ad libbed, "I think we all know what that feels like, right guys?" From the back of the auditorium came the response, "I want to do you, Cameron!" She smiled and waved. "You guys are so awesome!"

Jackass

http://laniels.org/weblog [Stephen Laniel’s Unspecified Bunker] My only complaint — and it’s comparatively minor, in the faceof my laughing — is that they could have been jackasses (therebyfulfilling their mandate) without making so many jokes aboutpenises, anuses, fæces (yes, “fæces”) and vomiting.I feel bad about liking it, because I wonder whether I’m infantile.(Answer: I am.) It’s possible to be a jackass — if by that word,we normally mean “doing things that anyone else would considerembarrassing” — without being so juvenile.

I am going to watch the Star Wars movie

[The Fifth Column] I do not look forward to it. I am pretty sure it is going to be the worst thing since I suffered through the second LOTR movie. And yet I will still go, because of the mystical lure of childhood or some crap. Perhaps I shall take the baby red and we will go to a matinee. That is the safest way to avoid the children, although we will undoubtedly be surrounded by people wearing White Wolf tshirts. On the whole, I prefer the children, but the movie is usually marginally quieter when the only noise is the goofball behind you talking about the West End Games stats for Jabba the Hutt. I don't know why that kind of guy thinks that his knowledge will win him the ladies. It is a mystery to me. I don't think that my fund of useless knowledge is going to earn me respect and adulation, even if I like to daydream about finding someone who adores me for my command of obscure trivia. I certainly don't walk up behind the pretty boys at the gym and say 'You know, Julius Caesar had a relationship with a...

Carandiru (Revisited)

[Falsafah] Victor Navas, Fernando Bonassi and Hector Babenco spent three years to complete the script and its nine preliminary versions. The official website stated that, "the greatest challenge faced by the scriptwriters consisted in turning the fragmented episodes in the book Estacao Carandiru into an organic and cohesive narrative". It also said, "In order to account for the human diversity found in the correctional facility, they chose to tell the stories of several book characters throughout the film, in a new narrative model for Babenco, who borrowed this model from the movie Short Cuts, by Robert Altman. Thus, scenes from the day-to-day lives led by the inmates at Carandiru are alternated with each inmate's personal story, creating "windows" in the narrative that connect to the outside world".

A temporary escape from Room 4

[What You Can Get Away With - Nick Barlow's weblog] A few years ago, news that a new Star Wars film had premiered would have got me really excited, but then I saw The Phantom Menace. Now, the only thing that gets me interested in news of the latest premiere is that Natalie Portman’s head is shaved, which indicates that filming of V For Vendetta appears to be going on nicely even though it’s now got a new manbehind the mask.

What kind of mind works like this? Cheesy lyrics over lightsabers?

thirteen

[Edward Fearon] I suppose it falls under the catagory of ‘instructional’ material, designed to show young girls or their parents what happens when a teenage rebellion goes too far. It isn’t a bad movie in the sense that it’s frustratingly written or poorly acted, but it should have been more moving, or at least involving. Wide angles and a lack of close-ups keep us away from the individual characters, leaving the focus on their strained relationships instead. It quickly became clear that this movie wasn’t aimed at me, but I should still have been able to appreciate its value to another audience and I couldn’t.

The Interpreter

[Edward Fearon] It was the most satisfied I have been coming out of the cinema in quite a while. Sean Penn gives a compelling performance as the recently bereaved secret service agent Tobin Keller, investigating the dubious eponymous interpreter, Silvia Broome (Kidman). The story really kept me interested from start to finish, and there were none of the usual “but why?” and “that would never happen” exasperations that movies in this genre usually incite in me. It had an excellent blend of the political with the personal, without blustering moral diatribes or maudlin sentimentality.

[Edward Fearon] As a fan of the original radio play, the books and the television series, I have been very keen not to judge the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Movie too harshly before I see it. After all, it was not only sanctioned, but concieved and almost completely written by Douglas Adams before his death. The more I hear about how it has been recieved, the more difficult it is to not expect dissapointment, but hopefully I will enjoy it, when I see it early next week. Here’s hoping…

[Jacqueline Mackie Paisley Passey] For those of you who didn't see this post until after everything was over, I'd posted a list of cities, links to buy tickets, and rumors about the May 26th sneak preview screenings for the Firefly movie Serenity.  Tickets started selling around 3 or 4 AM Pacific time for Seattle with other cities added throughout the morning but the official website was not being updated.  Lots of scattered information was being posted to various fan message boards but there was no central collection of links and information.  So I took it upon myself to create it!  It was a wild ride as I updated this post with new information every 10-15 minutes all morning until the official site started updating again this afternoon.

Octopus 2 Reviewed

[Divester] Octopus 2 Reviewed Posted May 9, 2005, 3:14 PM ET by Willy Volk Filed under: Atlantic, Boat, Media, Stories This weekend I had the, uh, good fortune to watch Octopus 2. I never saw the first Octopus; no matter. The story: after innocent people disappear, a scuba-diving New York Harbor Patrol cop named Nick (who always looks as though he's just been insulted) begins to believe a giant, man-eating octopus is terrorizing the city. Nick has to save the city before the octopus - which has grown large enough to overturn a four-ton tugboat - attacks 4th of July revelers in the East River. Surprisingly, the scuba scenes were realistic, but that’s about where the realism ends (e.g., If excess amounts of Silenium in the city’s harbor caused the octopus to mutate, why didn’t it also affect Nick?) However, for a cheesy Saturday night horror showing, it was great. I rate it: a solid B. Has anybody else seen this movie? Favorite line: “For Christ’s sake: we’re talking...

Kung Fu Hustle (Hong Kong, 2004, Theater)

[goyablog] In 1930s Shanghai, the ruthless Axe Gang takes on the residents of the Pig Sty Alley slum, where lurks several Kung Fu masters to defend the ordinary folks. The Axe Gang gets their collective asses kicked, so they hire Kung Fu masters of their own. And just when you thought you’ve seen the ultimate fight, another hits you in the face, making you wince and laugh at the same time–”cracking up” has never been better used to describe my reaction to the film. If you’re not into HK martial arts action comedy, you will just think it is stupid in the way I always thought Benny Hill was stupid.

New blog tag line

[Jacqueline Mackie Paisley Passey] TypePad customer support (they are so awesome!!!) are helping me clean up some bad HTML that might be causing the intermittent problem of the middle column not loading. They told me I had to remove the meta tags from the blog description field, so while I was at it I decided to change the description too. The old one was too long, and I didn't like that it ran onto a second line on many people's screens. Ten years ago I used to say, "I want to be a Heinlein heroine when I grow up!" I realized today that in many ways that goal is still something I'm working on. So, this blog is now "The bildungsroman of an aspiring Heinlein heroine" -- short, sweet, descriptive, and amusing to those in the know. :) Speaking of sci-fi references, has anyone figured out what the title of my blog's menu is a play on yet?
