as before, I don't agree much with a lot of your tastes, but I admire your effort
That said, why not use sql/php ? |
I'm making a vb.net windows app with a SQL backend. Haven't had to do php yet, but I may do that in the future.

Not quite a movie, but I took my twins and my niece to the see the Dreamworks How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular today. Not as good as the movie, but it was pretty good. They did some interesting stuff with the digital projection system for the backgrounds along with some solid wire work, and had tremendous detail on the animatronic dragons. They moved pretty slowly though naturally, which took a bit of effect away, but all in all it was pretty good.

It's interesting. You'll never look at Ned Beatty, the same way.  |
did it move ?
 |
I thought it was a damn good movie. Probably the second best 70s movie (behind Taxi Driver of course) I've seen. Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight were so badass. That Ned Beatty scene was a tad awkward. Once that scene began I knew how it was going to end. Ospreys right I don't think I can ever see/hear Ned Beatty the same way again. Watching Toy Story 3 again is going to be a bit strange. |
2nd best 70s movie? It's great, but there's all of Coppola's movies to contend with, especially the Godfathers, and the French Connection. |
I thought the 70's were a pretty weak era, when it came to film. I liked Deliverence, but I don't know if it would have made my top 20 of the that decade though. Personally, my top 10 of the 70's are:
1. The Omen
2. Star Wars: A New Hope
3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
4. The Excorcist
5. Jaws
6. The Wicker Man
7. The Rescuers
8a. Zombie
8b. The Boys From Brazil
9. Brian's Song
10a. Smokey and the Bandit
10b. The Aristocats |
Nevermind it's third
1. The Warriors
2. Taxi Driver
3. Deliverance

I just got done watching Eastern Promises for the 1st time. I was literally smiling from ear to ear when it ended. Probably the best movie I've ever seen.

I also enjoyed this film. I'm a Naomi Watts and David Cronenberg fan in general so I'm not surprised I found it interesting.

Got my wife to watch Trading Places for the first time in her life. Love the movie but it's not nearly as funny as I remember.

I was just talking about this movie. Die Hard was on and the a-hole white guy cop was Clarence Beeks (the guy who gets violated by a gorilla) in Trading Places, and I brought up how he was in that and Breakfast Club. I also saw that movie in a high school economics class because my teacher as apparently trying to teach us about commodity trading.

I've learned that when it comes to film, TheOsprey's tastes are about as far from mine as they come. That's whats great about art, everybody can find different things great/horrible, but the guy refuses to watch the Godfather. I don't think there's much else I need to know.

That happens alot, especially with films we saw as a kid. There were several movies I saw at a young age, that I loved, but when I re-watched them later in life, they were much different than I remembered. In most cases, they went from a rating of 5 out of 5, down to a 3 out of 5. The one film that I saw as a kid, that has maintained a high rating after 13 viewings is The Incredible Mr. Limpet, starring Don Knotts. I don't know why, but something about that film just resonated with me. I love it. |

I've heard A Serbian Film is disgusting and tasteless. I read an article about it and it seems exactly that.

| I finally got around to watching The Fighter. It was good, not great. I really don't know why it garnered so much love from critics. It's a solid movie, but as far as films with fighting sports as a theme, I thought Warrior was far, far superior. |
