The Last Samurai

[Boond]

i usually dont like tom cruise...but wow this was an excellent movie...i was impressed, moved, depressed, elated, amused....it was a rather powerful film, i thought....and there were ninjas ;)

[HoboFactory]

I like this movie too, though generally I dislike Tom Cruise, mainly because he seems to go with quantity over quality when it comes to his roles. This I think was something of an exceptional film for Tom Cruise and overall it's a real good movie....oh and the musical element was just beautiful.

[The Foot]

Yeah great movie, but don't like Tom either

[Skwu]

I like Tom Cruise as an actor. However, I did not like the film's ending.

 

SPOILERS ALERT!!!!

 

Come on, all his samurai buddies get mowed down by a gallet(sp?) gun. And surpise, surpise Mr Tom Cruise only gets in the leg. His friends are swiss cheese! Come on!

[Mr.Domino]

goooooood movie very well directed, i liked it alot

[Boond]

Skwu, this movie was largely based around real life events...gattling guns did mow the samurai down...moreover the american did live and did deliver the guys sword...however, i think in reality he succumbed to his wounds and died

I really liked the movie. It was a lot better seeing it in a threatre than it was at home though.

Yea, Since I wanted accuracy and realism, I should read a book or watch the history channel. Tom Cruise can never die. He's immortal.

 

This is a interesting read though:

damn i missed the theater experience

[S.E. Hardy]

Everything is better when seen in a theatre.

[Boond]

oh i agree...but i cant afford it

[S.E. Hardy]

Roger Ebert.

[Skwu]

Roger Ebert.

What about Roger Ebert?

[S.E. Hardy]

He's the only one who can afford to see all the movies he wants to see in theatres. Not only does he got to see them for free--he gets paid shitloads to do so. Hense "Roger Ebert".

[Boond]

lol serra you and me should do a show...and get to see movies for free in our own theatre

[S.E. Hardy]

I will own a theatre one day. I have it all set up in my head. It will be like the ArcLight, only better-and cheap.

 

So far this year, I have seen 97 movies IN THEATRES--it adds up. And those are just the ones that I couldn't wait for video for. I can't imagine how many movies I would see if I didn't have to pay, and go to school, and work.

[Boond]

lol....especially if you could stop the theater real to go to the bathroom...and if you had a kitchen in there...you wouldnt have to leave except once a week for groceries...

[S.E. Hardy]

Well- you see in the theatre in my head each screening room has it's own bathroom in the back with a TV in it that is playing the movie-so even if you gotta go-you don't gotta leave. You don't miss anything or have to ask your friend what happened.

 

If I build it--I will go.

[Boond]

as will I....i might even have to take a vacation wherever it ends up being built...

[S.E. Hardy]

I don't know where I want to build it. I live in LA when I'm not living somewhere else. But space is kinda hard to get ahold of here. Lucky for me, I don't have to worry about that tonight--only getting together rent for my apt.--First world problems.

[Boond]

well at least your arent living with your parents anymore...gah i could use some freedom

[S.E. Hardy]

My mom calls EVERY night. Tonight she kept me on for an hour-all I wanted to do was watch 'Bonnie and Clyde'.

 

 

 

WOW-this has gone so off topic. ADD thread.

[Boond]

well i will come to your theatre at least once no matter where it is

[S.E. Hardy]

thank you. I'll give you free popcorn swimming in delicious yellow chemical sludge.

[Skwu]

Yea...but then you would become overweight from the sitting and popcorn.
