I didn't see "The Sixth Sense" till it came out on video. Personally I didn't think it was that great at all. That little kid was actually kind of irritating.
"Green Mile" comes out on DVD today. What I'm looking forward to is being able to just skip the first scene with the two damn old people and ignore the last scene with the same two damn old people. Apparently the gave Tom Hanks so much fucking money for that and they couldn't afford to hire old peole that could act.
Oh, and that last scene...Jeez...Everyone in the theatre is crying their fucking eyes out...and then we gotta listen to that stupid old geezer babble for 10 minutes!!! God - how can you make movies for a living and not know how bad that was.
But if you cut the old people, the stuff in between is damn good.
Anyways - here's your five best movies of the past year or so:
"Dogma"
"South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut"
"Fight Club"
"Man on the Moon" (even with pesky and glamourous rock icon Courtney Love)
"The Green Mile" (Lasherz Cut)
Of course, as soon as I post this I'll think of 5 that were even better, so.....
Damn Lashman...here I thought I was the only one who had the honor of experiencing that whacked out double feature...two fantastically subversive movies, each in their own way...almost restored my faith in Hollywood...until the next morning when I awoke to the little Havocmakers watching Galaxy Quest...ah well. Truly though, saw these two flicks on the same night and was like wow...
Malkovich deserved so much more recogntion at the Oscars than what it got...I didn't watch the opening credits for it, and believe it or not was like 45 minutes or so into the film before I realized that the wife was Cameron Diaz, and Cusak, what can I say about this guy...have watched all his films (even the crap like Road to Wellsville) since I first saw him in Sixteen Candles...besides Malkovich, my other two favs of his are, Better Off Dead, and Grosse Pointe Blank...Malkovich though is ground breaking work from everyone involved.
Fight Club...man what a twisted fucking movie...hehehe...right up my alley...Meatloaf with breasts was worth the price of rental...lol...and what a twist there at the end, NEVER saw that shit coming, I was like, "whoa no way." And the final scene...poetic as hell...I too highly recommend both of these to anyone.
About Sixth Sense...I leaned over to Mrs. Havoc in the theater, and told her what the "big secret" was gonna be when the movie went to Willis sitting on the bench outside the kid's house 15 or so minutes in...wasn't surprised at all at the ending, actually felt justified instead because of the "shhh no he isn't" way she kept replying everytime I would point something out to her...lol...that's me, just causing havoc wherever I can...not a good movie date I'm afraid...
Lash - you know, in all my years on this mortal coil, the one thing I was sure of, the one thing I knew with all certainty, was that I'd never see the words "Courtney Love" and "Pesky" in the same sentence.
Well I do need to admit that I'd never see the movie 6thSense again because once you know the ending it kinda shoots the whole thing...and despite the fact that I'd realized the twist about 14 minutes into the film I still enjoyed it due to my keen and intense interest in the paranormal and my own acceptance of the presence of ghosts...plus for some perverse reason I liked seeing Bruce Willis looking like a regular semi balding 40 something...don't ask why I can't explain it at all.
"That..why it's just a little bunny rabbit.."
"No it's got these sharp fangs and such.."
(fingers curling into the fang shape)
