Xbox Live: Movie On Up

Three Kings?!?!

Surely you jest...Three Kings?

I await your justification of including this in the same list as Unforgiven and Clash of the Titans with trepidation.

Three Kings isn't fit to carry Don Rickles' jock strap. Much less Clint Eastwood's.

Bonus Dark Side Points if you know why I brought Don Rickles up...

Hell, Mars Attacks!>Three Kings by several orders of magnituide.

Are these to rent or to actually buy?
If renting, how long will they be playable?

Just some questions I thought about upon the first announcement.

Think I might need to get me some points!

When you say "SPOnG" list of films, who exactly do you mean? I certainly would never forgo six foot ginger supervixen Nicole Kidman's pert buns and cute boobs in favour of a Batman movie of any description.

And Deep Blue Sea is unrelenting in its averageness.

yeh, I surely wasn't endorsing the other two movies I didn't name...

I don't think I've seen the Batman flick, and Deep Blue Sea...meh...

Superman III, though dated and horribly contrived, and NOT featuring the only Lex Luthor worthy of the role (MISTER Gene Hackman, Possibly you've heard the name? the Greatest Criminal Mind on Earth!), is prolly a better flick than any recent Batman...just for Richard Pryor...the bit about 'tar' was classic...

But theres a special place in Movie Hell for Three Kings, that POS Marky Mark/Clooney/Cube vehicle should have been dumped into the swamp and never seen the light of day. Its a pale, crass shadow of the original, and I don't recall it ever giving up the props to its daddy.

edit:I bet Powers Booth did a dece Lex, though...(animated, Superman: Braniac Attacks)

now if they offered Superman II:the Donner Cut...now that would be a slam dunk.

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD.

... Even with all this accumulated knowledge, when will these dummies learn to use a DOOR KNOB?

*directed at person who made up list (from Superman):Do you know why the number two hundred is so vitally descriptive to both you and me? It's your weight and my I.Q.

I mean me because I am in that kind of mood today. Also, the following were not included:

Solaris
White Sun of the Desert
Old Hottabych
Professor Dowell’s Testament
Andrei Rublyov



She lost all mystique for me after BMX Bandits and her marriage to the dwarf-king. Although I am fully supportive of her current husband - Urban kicks country ass - I've seen him live you know.



As I say, I'm in that kind of a mood today.

P.S. Also they did not have any Marx Brothers' movies such as A Day at the Farming Collective, Potato Soup or A Night at the Show Trials. I am such a Marxist/Leninist fanboy.

and the cheap, crypto-knockoff of Kelly's Heroes?

to answer the following question, which was not directed at me, but I'm going to answer anyway...

Kelly's Heroes
Apocalypse Now Redux
Animal House
Caddyshack
Cyrano de Bergerac (the b/w one with Jose Ferrer)
War Games
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Predator
Doctor Strangelove
True Romance

all I can think of before my edit time is up...

Ah, it's that time of the month is it.

So, if you weren't a KinoClub spurning bitch boy, what films would you want to see in the Microsoft MediaWhorepermarket? Real ones, btw, not more fanciful chimera from your unsubconscious.

I am not going to dignify that with a proper response. Pass me some chocolate and red wine.



KinoClub is for lamerz. Right, I would mostly like to see:

Razorback
Scrooged
Ferris...
Clerks
24 Hour Party People

But I can get all those anyway... so what is the point of this unless they can serve me up movies I can't already get? I still want to see the head in the sand conversation from White Sun of the Desert (Beloe Solntse Pustyni/Белое солнце пустыни)

Agreed it needs to be full of up to the minute blockbusters, or impossible to get hold of cult Asian stuff. Three year old b-movies ain't gonna cut it chez moi.

But talking of movies. I am sooo looking forward to this little gem Tyrion alerted me to this morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSpCWJnnWVI

Sweet Jebus!! That has surely got to be *ABBIT?

If not, I am going to suspend my usual art-snobbery and indulge it up to and beyond all reason.

*All Best Bits In Trailer

no Star Wars :(

Doesn't everybody who wants Star Wars already have Star Wars?

Cheers

I stopped myself from listing that one...only versions in which Han shoots first need apply...all others get thrown in the Sarlacc pit.

tim:Sure on mouldy old VHS...

Dunno, but I've been after the directors Oira sukeban for some months, without success. So if anyone knows where I can get a copy...
