No personal gain? The soldier is a mere puppet/pawn in the personal gain of his "leaders". *shrugs*

I'm fairly certain the thousands who stumbled out of the death camps barely alive were eternally grateful for those mere puppets and their leaders' personal gains.

pulp fiction was the only movie i saw at a cinema that people actually got up and walked out of after about an hour. absolutely true

Tropic Thunder.

I really enjoy films with/directed by Ben Stiller... However this one isn't that good... Has a few moments... But not that great.... So I think in my opinion it is the worse role I have seen Ben Stiller in, saying that it is also the worst role I have Seen Tom Cruise in and also Jack black in......

5 out of 10... Watchable...

That is unfortunate, Alex. Tropic Thunder had sooooo much potential.

Hey bro, as I said that is just my opinion... You may like it? Just to me... It was quite a poor film.. Sure there were some slim areas where there was comedy that made me smile... Normally in his films there is comedy that will make me laugh.. And a fair bit of it at that.

Kaena: The Prophecy is a cultural nexus of ideas.

Take Antlife, cross it with Final Fantasy, hit it on the head with the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction then ray trace it. You've got Kaena.

And I liked it. I've not often laughed at someone getting their head blown off. It was interesting as I generally dislike movies that don't take me out of reality and into the movie. This one was always a movie and even a take off on a movie, all so contrived, edge of reality I thought it facinating.

Now for folks walking out of movies...first one ever was Deliverance, the Ned Beatty seen had them leaving in droves, similar scenes in Borat and Team America that folks couldn't take.

I've seen that with Mars Attacks (the theater manager literally gave refunds to the audience with that one.)

Concerning Ned Beatty's "scene": was it the one where one of the "hillbillies" told his character to squeal like a pig? There's a d@mn good reason people walked out during that scene (male rape is not something most people are comfortable with.) Bit of trivia here concerning that scene: during the filming of the movie, after that particular scene was finished, it took six men to keep Ned Beatty from killing that one actor (and that was just a fictional assault!)

It wasn't part of the script (or in the book the screenplay was based on.)

Its pretty bad when the best thing to come out of a movie is the theme song...duelling banjos. Great song, too bad its associated with such a horrible flick.

[17th Angel]

Made of Honor.... Terribly slow start... Warmed up... Funny, middle-ish to end great.... 6.5 - 10.

Realitive Strangers... Pretty darn funny... Good morales to be learnt also.. About a rich successful business guy from rich family... Finds out he is adopted.... Has the pleasure of meeting his real parents..... 8 - 10.

The Promotion.... Parts are pretty funny, could of been better, disliked the ending..... 6 - 10.

Baby Mama... Very frustrating come the end for me lol... But all in all pretty good EH! Worth seeing 8 - 10

Also watched "nuns on the run" yesterday lol... I've always loved that classic

*thinks* What else I seen latley.... Hmmmm Oh, 'You don't mess with the Zohan.' lol pretty good An Israeli Special Forces Soldier fakes his death so he can go to New York and become an hair stylist lol.... It sounds much better than it is in all reality, funny watching him progress and how him and "his people" act towards the palestinians.... Specially come the end 7 - 10.

I'd said I'd never laughed so hard about someone being killed. That was true but was surpassed this weekend with....Burn after reading.

And now while infidelity is something that has always bothered me. I must say I laughed quite a bit at that too.
