After wanting to see it for several years now, I did finally see City of God. WOW. Great story, great directing, great visual artistry, strong cast (as much as I could tell for a foreign film). This movie did not disappoint.

One of my favorite films ever. Seriously, I think I laid awake in bed for an entire night thinking about it after I saw it. Which reminds me, i need to see it again.Originally posted by Parrot Head View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

SS and I have spent the past few nights watching movies from our DVD collection that we haven't seen in quite a while. Over the last several days we watched A Serious Man, Jackie Brown, Brick, The Sting and Bottle Rocket.
Do I need to recommend any of these movies? They're all pretty great. And watching The Sting again was a nice reminder that Paul Newman playing poker with Robert Shaw on the train is one of the greatest scenes in movie history. "Ah, don't feel too bad. They wouldn't have let you in here if you weren't a chump!"Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...
None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.
I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

The High and the Mighty (1954) starring John Wayne and Robert Stack.
A commercial flight from Honolulu to San Francisco experiences trouble after the point of no return. This movie is credited as being the first of the disaster movie genre. Excellent film

I'm still trying to figure out how you laid a wake in bed. Is that just a figure of speech?Originally posted by Donuthole View Post

A vulgar figure of speech with which I'm sure you'd rather not familiarize yourself.
