What's the last movie you've seen?

[Eraserhead]

Finally got a chance to watch The Hangover in its entirety. It's a fun movie. It's not as hilarious as some people are making it out to be but I think the real reason its such a smash is because the cast is just so likable.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I didn't know they were allowed to show certain, ahem, organs in rated "R" movies? When did the rules change? Not that I really care, just curious.

It's not that they couldn't, it's just that no one wants to.

Really, what's the threshold on such things between R and X? They showed a dude getting a BJ in the movie.

None, because there is no X rating anymore, and there never really officially was. Now it doesn't even exist unofficially though, it's just a marketing term used by porn retailers. Pixar could market its movies as X-rated if it wanted to for some insanely bizarre reason.

Re: Top Gun, the MPAA didn't really work out the current line between PG and PG-13 until the early 90s, The Living Daylights and The Hunt For Red October are both rated PG too. PG-13 was initially designed for films that went beyond the limits of what was PG traditionally but weren't quite R, Top Gun fits the much laxer limits of PG at the time perfectly. PG-13 was intended originally to be a replacement for "soft R" movies, not "hard PG" ones, and "hard PG" ones hence kept getting rated PG until around roughly '92 or so, when they too were lumped into the PG-13 rating.

Yeah, you're right. It's actually NC-17

The Hangover was fucking fantastic.  Absolutely amazing, from start to finish.

You're a bit to young for a movie like that, aren't you?

I'm 16; Catmusic is too young.

Albino Alligator, 1996 film with Matt Dillon, and Gary Sinise. Good flick.
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, 1994 comedy. Classic.
Adventures in Babysitting, 1987 Chicago-setting classic.

I am currently watching David Lynch's DUNE, a true cinematic work of art.

still below the plotline, not necessarily the marketed, target demographic.  it is hard to think of it this way when finally getting there in the timeline of your life, but, take a step back.  this isn't a criticism.

Drag Me To Hell

Mixed reaction, more positive than negative but it didn't quite live up to the overwhelmngly favorable reviews.

[Stranger in a strange land]

The Hangover. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard in a movie.

[Reaganfan]

Demolition Man, 1993 film with Stallone and Snipes. Good flick.

Midnight Run, 1988 comedy/action film with DeNiro and Grodin. Excellent.

Demolition Man, 1993 film with Stallone and Snipes. Good flick.

I believe that was the first R-rated movie that I ever saw. It's kind of goofy but very fun and definitely underrated. Snipes was awesome. I could have lived without the Denis Leary appearance though.

Predator 2. One of those movies I never get tired of rewatching (I think I actually like it better than the original in that respect).

[??????????]

Gran Turino. Very well done.

[The Mikado]

A few weeks back, but I didn't bother posting it:  Sunshine Cleaning.

I'm soft on films like this, so I'll give it an 8.5/10.  It probably deserves a lower score, but I'm sympathetic to it.

Good Will Hunting. Yeah, I know it's '09 and I'm just now seeing it.

That was a chick flick?  One of the two couples was homosexual (female) and the other was an affair.  Neither worked out.  Hardly a romantic film.

That said, I do like (intelligent) chick flicks.  Stupid ones don't do anything for me no matter how hot the actresses, just like stupid action films don't do anything for me no matter how impressive the special effects.

Seemed like it to me from the trailer. Really though it is a chick flick in the most literal sense, female writer, director and two female leads.

I guess.  Maybe it's old-fashioned of me, but when I hear "chick flick" I think of female protagonists trying to get "the guy" and avoid falling for "the other guy."  Making one of the lead characters a lesbian makes it very hard to think of it as a chick flick.
