When they legalize drugs and prostitution in the one neighborhood?

I know that's a Hugh stretch but actually, no.

It's when they kidnapped a handful of dealers and dropped them off in the middle of the fucking woods.

Commmmmmonnnnnnn

I allowed the Hamsterdam thing as an interesting philosophical discussion point as much as something literal. Maybe that was forgiving on my part.

I don't even recall the bit about the kidnapped dealers. I have been saying it repeatedly but: it really is time for me to rewatch the whole thing.

I thought I remembered that scene, but then I realized I was thinking about The Sopranos, with Paulie and Chris.

"Hunting us with what, his cock?"

I LOL'd so hard at that Sopranos scene.

Favorite Sopranos scene for me has to be when the guy dies taking a dump or when Chris' annoying as fok gf gets whacked after going rat.

 

[Mudcat]

Adriana's (sp?) whacking is definitely the most memorable and disturbing Sopranos scene for me.

That's another series I need to rewatch in its entirety.

Django Unlimited is awesome. Such an entertaining movie. Definitely worth a watch.

 

[roguejuror]

Django Unlimited?

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I liked ZDT better but neither wowed me.

Seems to be a "soft" year for Best Picture nominees if these two are in the running.

Ima watch Lincoln tonight.

Lincoln should win it easily.

Django Unlimited?

"Hunting us with what, his cock?"

I LOL'd so hard at that Sopranos scene.

Foking classic episode.

Tony: He’s some sort of Russian green beret from the Interior Ministry who singlehandedly killed 16 Chechen rebels.

Paulie: The guy killed 16 Czechoslovakians and he’s an interior decorator.

Chris: Really? His place looked like shit.

One thing that caught my eye recently is a new movie starring Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe called Broken City. Not that the movie itself has grabbed me - I have no idea about it - but I noticed that Wahlberg is being consistently billed above Crowe in the ads.

I certainly remember a time not so long ago that would not have happened, no way. Seems like Crowe stock is slipping.

That's because Russell Crowe is in a supporting role and Mark Wahlberg is the protagonist (i.e. main character).

Supporting actors almost never get billed above the lead.

 

[Mudcat]

That may be the most argumentative sounding agreement I have ever seen.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I don't know if it's necessarily agreement. It's because he's in a supporting role and not because of his "stock." If it were the same movie and Crowe played the protagonist, he'd be billed above Wahlberg.

 

[Mudcat]

Of course.

We have tried watching 7 psychopaths twice now, I really wish I could stay awake through the whole thing, I am beginning to think watching at bed time just isn't going to work.

 

[Mudcat]

Huh. I heard pretty good things about that one too. Was planning to check it out sooner rather than later.

Still probably will but I guess the praise is not unanimous.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I've heard disappointment over it as well. Still haven't watched it, but I'm thinking it will be a dud.

It didn't last long in the theaters considering the cast...
