Highlander.
Great Film made totally Epic by the Queen Soundtrack.
Serious, Highlander was one of my fav films while growing up. My brother was a Highlander fanatic and could quote most of the film, so I had a heads up into the Highlander world. That song that plays throughout the intro is absolutely, fucking awesome! I forget the name of it now, but it set the mood. I didn't mind Highlander 2, but the ones after 2 did my head in. You can't fuck with the clan McLeod!
"From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now." Here we are, born to be kings with the PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE. My fav movie of all time. The sequels sucked, nothing beats the original. I have 2 different special etd DVDs of it.
Do both those DVD's omit the Zeist stuff? Because it's the ultimate FUCKING STUPID move in a movie ever. As for me, picked up some Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Playing DW: Gundam 2 last year gave me a brief understanding of the show, and I quite liked the story given to me.
Planet Zeist was the crappy sequel not the original. There is a renegade edition of Highlander 2 where they replace Planet Zeist with a long time ago...which is just as bad imo.
Yeah, I know Zeist was in the sequel - I wanted to know if they had omitted that from those versions of the film, and it turns out they hadn't. Zeist was only ever mentioned in the Highlander 2 - was never uttered again in any Highlander movie.
Russel Mulcahy (the director of 1 & 2) absolutely blasts the shit out of the studio forcing him to include it in the sequel cause it fucks up the whole mythology from the first.

I watched Machete today; FUCKING AWESOME! Danny Trejo is the hardest fucking actor alive, and Jessica Alba looks as stunning as ever. Remember that Machete trailer before Planet Terror? That is exactly what Machete is like. I love Rodriguez.

Also, is it true that the film got a limited release here?

Possibly, but in all honesty I am not sure; I saw it at Southland, so I'm also guessing it is on at Chadstone and the other Hoyts' and Villages', though something tells me it will be taken off pretty quickly, unless it makes a killing. Even Steven Seagal makes an appearance in Machete.

Seriously, ya'all need to check out Machete. I have a man-crush on it.
Jessica Alba is hot. Steven Seagal is a knob.

In non-communist news - started watching Lock Stock again. Been ages since I've seen it, and all but forgotten about it. Will need to watch more, but subtitles do make the movie more watchable... wat

Rags, because you watch rom-com films, that obviously makes you a little bitch. Same for when you watch Brokeback Mountain, must mean you love sucking uncircumsized cock.
Communism is the only way to go. Didn't you notice where capitalism has gotten us in the last few years? WAKE UP! Keep giving your money to the banks, and their billionaire CEO's.
NO! Says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.
The man in Moscow is much harder than the man in the U.S, or Australia. For example, look at our present and past two Prime Minister's they wouldn't be able to catch a fish with dynamite, but look at Russia's Putin, he can smash grizzly bears with his bare hands, he don't need a fishing line to catch a fish because he catches it with his mouth. Imagine Julia out hunting in the woods, hunting with her top off. Communism is for real men.
Authoritarian is muuuuuuuch different to pure Communism/Marxism. The USSR wasn't controlled by the Proletariat, nor was the Revolution instituted by the Proletariat. Communism has never worked, nor will it to that pesky human trait called Greed. You'll never eradicate greed, nor will you get everyone thinking about the common good. People always want more. Communist states have rarely been truly communist, they've been Authoritarian Dictatorships run under the banner of Communism, but the Party Members at the top always seem to be well fed, well housed, well traveled....yet the common citizen is often poor, overworked, crammed into communal housing and has no say. The State runs and controls their lives, it tells them what they can watch, what they can read, what they can say, what they cant say, what they cant do.... Darth: You don't look like your average horti-fucking-culturalist. Wait that sounds like what Conroy wants to do =P Yet idiots around this country still put him back into the Senate. Either way, Che Guevara was a brutal little murderer. You put Hitler on a tshirt and you're offending everyone, put that Communist little shit on a tshirt and you're celebrating a "Freedom Fighter". Bunch of Left Wing bullshit. CT AND I AGREE ON SOMETHING?!

Seriously, Cloney, Hitler and Che are completely different beasts; Hitler tried to wipe out the 'impure races', not to mention the holocaust, and the general craziness of him trying to make the world an Aryan heaven. Che was fighting for the poor and the peasants. Che's movement didn't partake in a holocaust, so really, you are comparing chalk and cheese.

No, I'm with CT on this one. Murder is murder, whether for duty, profit or fun.
EDIT: Also, subtitles, Darth? Really?

Anyway, just got back from Harry Potter Part 1. Not too bad, but good lord, if you're going to see it - make sure you've caught up with the story, because the films assume you're familiar with the story. Biggest problems were that it felt just a tad too long, and a lot of the supporting cast just seemed wasted - since they're barely in the film. Though that's more of a problem with the book than anything else.
That all being said, I'd love to see how the game turned out - since there's little to no combat, and Harry and crew spend more time talking than anything else.
Also went on a bit of a Blu-Ray buying spree - Evil Dead 2, Escape from NY, Blazing Saddles & Highlander are all mine.

Che was fighting for the poor and the peasants. Che's movement didn't partake in a holocaust, so really, you are comparing chalk and cheese. There is no justification for the type of actions both of them committed. The fact you seek to justify the mans murderous adventures is indicative of the Left.
Stalin created a man-made famine in the 30s killing millions, Mao destroyed the intellectual elites, and any intelligent person who stood up to them, during the Cultural Revolution and destroyed the education system...funny aside, one of my lecturers told us a story of a Chinese Graduate working for their Foreign Ministry in Mexico, she was working in Mexico and had a degree in Spanish....yet she couldnt speak or understand a work of it...why? Because she got her degree during the Cultural Revolution and it was worthless because all they taught was Mao's Little Red Book.
Hitler was fighting for the poor German people who had been made destitue and pathetic by the treaty of Versailles, he was fighting against the evil that had turned Germany into a festering cesspool of poverty.
See, you can see events from two sides of the coin. They were both violent murder's convinced of the rightousness of their own cause.

EDIT: Also, subtitles, Darth? Really? So if I kill somebody on the street, does that put me in the same category as Hitler?
Typical of the Right-Wingers to try and say that there is no difference, when one of them (Hitler) killed millions of people. And I'm not saying either is ok, but seriously, no difference?
And guys, don't believe everything you read.

And guys, don't believe everything you read. Dont get me started on this "dont believe what you read/hear"
The Left Wing douchebags would swallow everything the North Vietnamese had to say during the Vietnam War without question, even though it was proved to be all propaganda and fudged figures....
...but they refused to believe what their own government had to say, and questioned every little detail about everything.
Im not saying the US Government was all sunshine and candy, I'm just saying people will believe what they wanted to believe and question everything that shed doubt on that.
Im sorry, but to say they're different soley based on kill count is ridiculous. Murder is Murder, whether its a 6 people, 60, 600 or 6 million.

It's not murder when it's war - just ask your government.
