Members T ned Posted January 16, 2012 Members Share Posted January 16, 2012 Originally Posted by rushtallica I just finished the Life on Mars series on Netflix and thought it was pretty good. It starts off as a modern police show but quickly changes gears to 1973 and is a lot like a '70s cop show but with modern production and a bit of sci-fi here and there. BBC version=winABC version=not quite as much, despite Harvey Keitel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, didn't mean it to sound that way. It just sounded {censored}ing crazy to get movie picks from white supremacists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they have their shortlists of 'great' movies, and reading how they go about analyzing certain films is a little entertaining and very wacky. Like i said, the smallest, most superficial details in a film take on a completely different meaning when you're reading it with the mindset (or lack there of) that the people on Stormfront adopt.i.e. 'the jewish metaphor of the Matrix Movies,' 'War Horse - a WWI Bash Fest'... its also kinda funny how hung up they get over the stupidest {censored}... i.e. the shower room scene in "Hall Pass" elicited a little flame about penis size and race... there's even a skewed interpretation of Disney's THE LION KING up there. some people... i pray for their children.

Members cobalt-60 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 25, 2012 way to go eti, i already got it, but did not expect it on youtube with subtitles. good to know. Somebody suggested 13 Assassins, I loved that movie so damn much, and was so happy to see in theaters, I watched it seven times. It was in a small, private wing at the theater with it's own bathroom, so I ducked in and out of that and Hobo with a Shotgun which was playing next door and see it twice an evening.

Members cobalt-60 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 25, 2012 To my credit, their motto is "movies the way they used to be", or some nostalgic bull{censored}, and staying in the theater use to be a legitimate practice. Quentin Tarrentino use to do it as a kid and watch movies all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
