Damn. You really don't like DC.

Kung Fu movies. I loved the Shaw Brothers.


Michael Crichton or Alan Dean Foster?

sum1

Neither.

I don't know who the Shaw Brothers are.

Science fiction movies or historical movies?

PhoenixRising

Science fiction.

Run Run Shaw and his brother ran Shaw Bros. Studios. They made all those Kung Fu movies like 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Heroes of The East, King Boxer, One-Armed Swordsman, etc.

Apocalypse Now or Platoon?

sum1

Oh I heard of them.

Neither. They're both overrated. I prefer Full Metal Jacket.

Same question.

PhoenixRising

Apocalypse Now, but I prefer Full Metal Jacket, like you.


2001: A Space Odyssey or The Planet of The Apes? The original, not those remakes.

sum1

2001.

Same question.

PhoenixRising

2001.



Spartacus or Ben Hur?

sum1

Neither. They're both crap.

Spartacus the movie or Spartacus the Starz tv show? (Spartacus: Blood and Sex)

PhoenixRising

The TV show.

Rome or The Tudors?

sum1

Rome. Though The Tudors was damn good. HBO's Rome was the best piece of historical fiction onscreen ever.

Same qustion.

PhoenixRising

Rome, because I haven't seen The Tudors. They really aged Octavian fast.


Rob Roy or Braveheart?

sum1

Do I have to?

Michael Collins or The Commitments?

PhoenixRising

The Commitments. I haven't seen the other one.

Wow, I guess neither one is your thing.


Flavored tea or hot chocolate?

sum1

Well, Braveheart was good but bigoted (it seems designed to make you want to kill English people) and it's directed by one of the biggest scumbags in Hollywood, and Rob Roy has a good star, but it's crap.

The Commitments is great. It's basically an anthropogical study of Dubliners and so full of life. Very Irish, using real Irish actors who were amateurs recruited from the local population.

You should see Michael Collins. One of Liam Neeson's best performances. Though the film is guilty of being very biased against Eamon DeValera, one of the foundes of the present Irish nation. Its portrayal of him is hardly accurate. See, the film was made by people from the opposing political party in Irish politics. Until recenty, Irish politics were dominated by the legacy of the Irish Civil War.

Hot chocolate. Tea messes up my bowels something awful.

Same question.

PhoenixRising

Wow, you being an Irishman it's amazing seeing you come to the defense of the English.

I remember watching The Commitments a long time ago. I loved the musical scenes. Hot Irish women singing is always good to watch. Thanks for the info on Michael Collins.

Hot chocolate as well.



Black Tom or Sebastian Shaw?
