Tell him/her well done - and if ever filiming in Scotland to give me a tinkle if he/she needs actors.  I have no experience to speak of - but I believe Im good.  Maybe thats just arrogance...either way worth a bash.

[Penicks]

okay i'll tell him that lukas989 from the internet said he did a good job

[lukas989]

Also tell him theres a lot to be said for high school movies from the eighties.  He could do a lot worse than checking out the likes of Lucas or The Breakfast Club for inspirational movie-making.

jehovah's witness is such an insular religion. they are borderline cultish but it was incredible seeing the extent of some people's faith. this was a very good movie. trans-religion romances fascinate me. there was one scene that totally pissed me off. it was the part where three older male elders questioned the main character, who was a 17 year old female, about how far she'd gone with her non-believer boyfriend. NO, IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS ASKING IF HE TOUCHED HER BREASTS AND VAJ. and the whole concept of shunning and expelling people is mind boggling. there is not one instance in the bible where jesus shunned anyone. if anything, he embraced the people who were shunned by the religious authorities in his day. you'd think a church claiming to be the true church would be more consistent with jesus' example (he did, after all, save an adulterous woman from being stoned to death!).

this whole film just made me think in a way i liked.

Battle Los Angeles (2011)

Sooooooooooo bad

4 out of 10

[blixa]

watched the broken, which surprisingly i didn't like. it was kind of scary but i was disappointed with the ending. i was disappointed that there wasn't a premise because it was one of those movies where i wanted there to be a reason for the central theme of the film.

i'm a sucker for lena headey though.

her face is just magnificent.

[bright lights, big city]

yes that's true, even though i did laugh when her character got cracked in the face in Game of Thrones. Her character is just so despicable!

Hangover 2 is pretty bad. It had some funny parts, but as a movie, it is literally set up exactly like the first one.

gotta agree. had some funny lines, mainly from Alan, of course. but overall it's a disappointment because what you said... basically the exact same movie, but without Heather Graham's boob.

my friend sent me links to download that show, but i haven't yet. my boss is really into it.

do it. right now. best show on tv. even ahead of Breaking Bad.

i've heard hangover 2 is bad from several people but i don't want to believe it.

i really want to watch horrible bosses.
