s1ocki, I could tell she was some NY Mag-reading arriviste who came to New York bcz she watched "Sex & the City," she and her friends bolted at the dinner break.

maybe omar's heart will blow up if he doesn't drive a muscle car up an escalator and then have some public intercourse, but surely he could do that while posting form zing

You're an impatient lot. I think it's nice when the reveal threads take a while so people can talk about them. When they're posted too quickly it's all a blur and over too quickly and then I get sad.

Hthe fun of anticipation is the stimulation that causes the feeling of impatience.

yeah we established in the noms thread that shots of the lead just sort of wandering about doing mundane stuff helped make 70s action films great, & this is the thread equivalent.

I just know omar is going to post the rest as soon as I leave the office, dammit.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Monday, 13 February 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago) link
unfortunately the rest will have to wait until tomorrow, i'm stuck in meetings all day and i'd hate to have my boss glance over and see me posting a still for *~SPOILER ALERT~* an action movie
― omar little, Monday, 13 February 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
could probably get a good fight scene out of it tho
― Steamtable Willie (WmC), Monday, 13 February 2012 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
thanks omar!!
by only beef tho is that you didn't bump the nominations thread w/ a link to this one so i missed all the fun today :(

sorry gr80. i was being shot at, so i was pinned down in this thread and couldn't get over to the other one to bump it.
― omar little, Monday, 13 February 2012 23:33 (twelve years ago) link

^^ best shot in the movie. Just watched this the other night and it really stood out as a spectacular shot.

I remember going to Gatorland in Florida, where they claimed they trained/sourced the alligators used in this movie.

Shit...voted in the nominating poll but not the actual one.
Temple of Doom is only the third best of the 80s Indys but still pretty damn good. Took me quite a long time to warm to, though. Didn't really get it til I started to see it as the "disreputable" Raiders. Like a tribute to those 40s serials with the racism and low taste in tact.
The Hurt Locker is awesome and definitely not Oscar bait. Every now and then the academy just gets it right.
Die Hard With a Vengeance is simply a joy. The ultimate ridiculous popcorn action flick. Really, only Raiders keeps it rom bing my fave action flick of all time.
I really need to finally see Branded To Kill and Con Air.

― Jibe, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:51 (twelve years ago) link
For tht mattter need to see Apocalypto, Assault and Vanishing Point as well. Gotta emit tt the gay bashing scene excerpted in The Celluloiud Closet had always sorta scared me away from the latter.
