I watched David Lynch's Eraserhead. I like that movie, sometimes those kind of movies get on my nerves with periods of prolonged silence. Doesn't bother me much... although the mumps woman could have done with better sfx, reminds me of Butters with the balls on his chin.

he probably has got 16gig of space in his brain, because theres certainly nothing else in there taking up the space, acting skills for instance :lol: i know what you mean about johnny mnemonic i found its terrible too, keanu reeves career started when he was perfectly cast as ted of bill & ted..... then for some reason it kept goin when people kept hiring him, the fools THE FOOLS

finished alias</i> season 2. think I saw the finale before and remember why I never watched anymore of the series. it's really stupid. there's this big blow-up. significant characters die or their secrets are exposed (all interesting and exciting), then sidney wakes up 2 years later, so obviously everything has changed in that span of time. oh yeah, she wakes up in hong kong. iunno. it's never believable. james bond type stuff throughout, but that last quantum leap there really annoyed me.
:?

I think my sister has a "woah!" drive.

I just had a chance to watch BG season 2 episodes 1 and 2. I am happy that they are continuing to make a great series. IMHO this is the best scifi series to date. I am glad that someone is focusing on a more mature viewer.

It seems to me like American movies are simply terrible. This year I have been watching more junk after the next. I think the Europeans have much more talent but lack the funding to make it into the US. I am going to start looking for more European flicks because I am starving for some mind stimulation.

An example is that the best westerns were Italian, when Clint started to make them in the States they became sour. The original Nikita was well done but Hollywood screwed that up later. The original Swept away was very funny but the Hollywood version sucked.
I find that to make it into the North American market you have to spend money on explosives, to make it in Europe you need a story and good actors.

Hollywood is not always bad they just go through cycles .

Definite exception! Not germany, that's for damn sure.

The german government pays failed projects, that's why they have such genius as uwe boll (homepage: http://www.uweboll.com ) making movies.
