[Knight Templar]

That would make a kick ass star wars trilogy. or even one or two movies. one of my favorites of the books

[Stealth]

because thrawn's awesome!


I don't remember what book this was... could have been part of the Thrawn trilogy but i doubt it... it was where Luke has to go fight this guy called Kueller, who's actually a young teenager, but the force is so powerful it's corrupted him, and he's more powerful than "master" luke skywalker now.  He wears a mask to hide his identity and he's uber-evil

Now back ON TOPIC

Don't argue with me, I'm twitching and being disturbed by all of you evidently being obsessed with wierd stuff.

I'm going to go measure the refractive spline patterns of the caustics of that third heirarcy of polys on the Vasudan CB anim #23602 now.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Aliens
Blade Runner
The Exorcist
The Seven Samurai

Could be one of those.

I'll bet no one in this forum can guess what two styles were used in that movie. Both were unique in a hollywood movie, and were hardly used in any Asian movies too. Anyone?

anyone?

*Finnishes punching, a sweaty...*

Phew. Ok, I'm back to normal.

OOOOoooh, how can I forget the Seven Samurai?!! Damn that was a good movie! Akira Kurosawa's second greatest films is ofcourse Yojimbo, which was later on americanized into "A fist full of Dollars" With Clint Eastwood and "Last Man Standing" With Bruce Willis. But nothing, compares to the original.

I like The Fifth Element.   Fun sort of movie.  

Is it just me, or does it seem that to much of Episodes I and II are digital.  Parts of them just look down right fake.  And when you compare it to LOTR (which used lots of models and real sets) or even the original trilogy, it just seems visually lacking.  There are some great scenes, but of them look added-in-later.  Heck, even the Special Editions look better.  Any comments?

[Stealth]

The Fifth Element?  that movie freaked me out!

[Thor]

There, there Stealth, it will be okay.

Are you sure you're thinking of the right movie.  Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich:) , Gary Oldman, Chris Tucker.... comedy:confused:

[Stealth]

no... i'm thinking of another movie... sorry

[Thor]

Event Horizon was scary.  Scared the crap out of a freind.  

[aldo_14]

Diamonds Are Forever (best bond movie, best Bond actor)
Unbreakable (unusually good character development for a hollywood movie, IMO)
Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels  (cool/funny as hell, fantastic soundtrack)
Austin Powers (1 - not seen goldmember yet, tho)

There was also another film I saw a while back - really thought provoking & farily clever- but god knows if I can remeber the name or even the story of it.  I've a feeling it was British, though....

Of a friend... Yeah, I'm sure it did.

lol Levyathon


You're all pathetic... i'll answer my own question:

Question:  What two styles were demonstrated in "Jet Li - The One" that weren't displayed as much in any Hollywood movie yet?  (they were displayed in a few Asian movies, but not much)


Answer:  The styles of Bagua and Hsing-I.  The "good" Jet Li (Gabe) practiced Bagua (circular movements) and the "bad" Jet Li (Yulaw) practiced Hsing-I (straight, direct movements)...  Ultimately, Bagua beat Hsing-I (in the movie and in real life)

Hilarious... I wasn't sure if BW, MJ etc. in a Scifi comedy would work but it did... like a dream
Luc Besson is a great director (and now venom comes and says... ... ...)

[Thor]

It did actually.  I never said that it didn't freak me out either, i just neglected to mention it.    Stealth, that's way to technical for us people.  We know nothing.
