Klatu VERATA Nictu. Baglicker.

"Klaatu birata nikto", a reference to the classic science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still. However, the phrase as spoken in The Day the Earth Stood Still is "Klaatu barada nikto." Ash repeats it as "Klaatu varata nicto", straying even further from the original. Warren, pg. 239.

You win, sort of.  The actual screenplay:

WISEMAN JOHN
                  As thou removest the Book from
                  it's cradle, you must recite these
                  words.  Clatoo, verata, Nicto.

                            ASH
                  Clatto Verata Nicto.  Okay.

                            WISEMAN JOHN
                  Repeat them.

                            ASH
                  Clatto Verata Nicto.

                            WISEMAN #1
                  Again.

                            ASH
                  I got it.  I got it.  I know your
                  damn words. All right?  Now you get
                  this straight: I get the book,
                  you send me back. That's the deal.
                  After that I'm history.

ASH
                  Okay.   The words.  Say the words.
                  KLATOO!... VERATA...  uh...  Uh...
                  Necta... uh... Nectar...
                  Necktie... uh...

        He hesitates, then calls out boldly.

                            ASH
                  KLATOO... VERATA...
                  NECTtphhhhhhhhhh...

        He deliberately muffles the last word that he can't remember.
        The wind stops.  It seems to have worked.  He looks about with
        growing confidence.

Hollywood Land - good flick. i enjoyed it. i think the sleazy movie GM had him murdered. 4/5

[Zanshin]

Caught Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai the other day.  It was okay.  I was hoping to like it more, but the acting was really stilted, and the plot felt pretty cardboard.  I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it-- which is weird, I guess, because I get the feeling that people generally either love or hate this movie.  For me, it was pretty average.

The gun twirling stuff was pretty gay, and it didn't make any sense that Ghost Dog was a fat guy.

2.5 of 5

[MURP]

Notes on a Scandal - 7/10  Great acting all around
Last King of Scotland- 7/10  More good acting.  Interesting true story so it says.

ghost dog is one of my all time favorites

8/10


s hunter on fractured

It might do to think of a thriller as a soap bubble of belief at play in the winds of your imagination. With a substandard issue like last week's "Perfect Stranger," with Bruce Willis and Halle Berry, the bubble pops almost immediately. It isn't even off-screen before its illusion of substance and coherence has vanished into mist. And if you don't believe, that theater seat gets awfully hard awfully fast.

At the far end of the bubble spectrum, of course, would be classics like "The Third Man" or "The Silence of the Lambs" whose bubbles never burst and whose characters and storylines stay afloat in the weather of your skull forever. Even to mention them is to call up a deep and abiding shiver of pleasure.

And in between is something like Gregory Hoblit's "Fracture," which stays afloat through its entire running time. You're even thinking "Hmm, yeah, nice twist" and "Oh, hadn't thought of that" or "So that's how he did it." There's even a little goose at the end; Hoblit knows what he is doing, and in fact directed the much better "Primal Fear," which was released in 1996.

Then in the multiplex parking lot -- or maybe as late as in the car, on the road, almost home-- it goes blooie ! It just goes thermonuclear on you, like one of the big, ringed "Star Wars" explosions. You realize how totally you've been had, how any kind of scrutiny causes it to detonate.

"Primal Fear" is an excellent movie.  If this is even "Primal Fear" lite, it's worth a watch.

Reviewing a movie, and mentioning that there is this big shock ending kind of ruins the big shock ending because you're going to be looking for it the entire way though.

Unless you like to be one of those dorks who says at the end "I saw that coming half way though" like those around them actually care.

Why?  And I don't mean that in a condescending way.  What about it makes it an all-time great to you?  Like I said, I think it was okay...and I can see liking it more than me-- but nothing about it really screamed "great."  It really didn't even treat the Samurai concept all that faithfully.

[ice grillin you]

it has one of the coolest vibes of any movie ive seen
i love the soundtrack that goes with it
i thought forrest was brilliantly understated
i loved the ending
i thought it was cool how they took an acient idea and brought it to the modern day world

i know little to nothing about the samuri "concept"...perhaps not knowing helped me in liking the movie
