just saw a ghost rider commercial this morning. that looks like the dumbest movie ever.

True, but then again, the prospect of Nicholas Cage being engulged in flames isn't exactly a bad thing.

Plus Eva Mendes is in it, so. . .

Watched Snakes On A Plane last night.

It successfully met all good B-Movie qualifications. Gratuitous, unnecessary boobage. Stupid laughs based on physical humor. A few, 'holy shtein why is that actor in this movie. What the hell has happened to their career' actors. Ridiculous methods of killing the offending snakes.

Very enjoyable.

I did not know that. When was the original released?

I was impressed. I mean who wouldn't be into a movie with a big conpsiracy about a gov't supported corporation brainwashing our troops and the next president! I mean its almost as realistic as it gets today, to the 5th power!

The original is from the 60's with Sinatra and Murder She Wrote.

mussa · January 17, 2007, 11:12:51 PM

I looked it up. Looks sweet. Read a bunch of reviews and pretty much sums up that the original was da bomb, new one def doesn't stand up. Either way I liked it, but I'm sure the original is better. Going to blockbuster.com now...

Murder She Wrote

That cracked me up too.

The original Manchurian Candidate is excellent. The remake was hideous. Sick degenerate that I am, I did get a kick out of watching Meryl Streep coming on to her "son" in the movie, though. Good times.

Zanshin · January 18, 2007, 09:05:41 AM

Can't stand Meryl Streep. I find just about anything with her in it pretty much unwatchable. Not sure why.

Strong and talented women intimidate you, Z. It's alright. We're here for you, buddy.

Zanshin · January 18, 2007, 09:23:39 AM

I think that's what it is. It bothers me that she's so overrated, and I get the feeling she's bought into the hype. Or maybe I'm just allergic.

That said, I doubt she's that strong. I'd kick her ass.
