Milkman delivers Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 08:32 AM) I finally watched A history of Violence over the weekend. Not bad although I expected more out of it given the rave reviews my friends had given it. Also tried watching The Man From Earth based on qwerty's suggestion. Was totally getting into it and Netflix streaming cut it off at the 26 minute mark. When I went back to the description page it shows up as a 26 minute long film which is wrong. IMDB shows it as 1 hr 27 minutes. WTF!! Now I have to go find it somewhere since I got rid of the DVD plan with them. The entire run of A History Of Violence, I kept having two thoughts run through my head. 1.) What is the point of this/What's going on? 2.) Why did they make this?

I ran into the same NetFlix streaming glitch at the same point in the film and had to work a while to place the playhead a bit past the apparent corruption. There was about 1 minute of the film I couldn't access. I enjoyed the film and think it's good as long as you are willing to suspend an amazing amount of disbelief regarding all of the things the protagonist claims to have done, all the events he was at, and all the lives he led in his 14k years on Earth.

MiddleCoastBias Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Until today, little was known about Ridley Scott's next film Prometheus, and even the main detail was one that Scott has intentionally muddled: It's a prequel to Alien ... but not really. Today at Comic-Con, though, Scott, screenwriter Damon Lindelof, and stars Charlize Theron and Noomi Rapace lifted the lid on Scott's sci-fi thriller and showed off the first footage ever. Article from a week ago on Prometheus, the prequel/not-a-prequel to the Aliens franchise. Full article here. No actual footage (just a screenshot) but the description of the visuals sounds legit - The look of the film was what impressed us most. Black and white with pops of clean, bold color, Scott breaks up the white of Fassbender's spacesuit by placing an orange basketball in his hands, and cuts through the dark interior of the spaceship with the fluorescence of a yellow-visored helmet or a blue flashlight beam.

Sidebar negotiations about a possible arranged marriage between my son and Marko's daughter. The deal fell apart due to "philosophical" reasons on Marko's part. I think that covers it in a nutshell.
