Ace Attorney

This was pretty entertaining. Takashi Miike can just shoot everything. 

^ good tip. Too bad I still don't like any of the current stuff.  I really hope the F/W will get rid of the squiggly lines, bright colors and giant logos.. 

dry-aged T-Bone

definitive tranny-vibe..

re Old-boy remake:

in my opinion, the Korean film, while it has some superfluous and goofy stylistic flourishes, adds a surprising depth to the parental/filial guilt -theme that is at the core of many Asian films. 

Spike Lee used to be an alright filmmaker and I actually like Josh Brolin in the role, but I just detest the shot-by-shot US-remakes. It's obvious that Hollywood is starving for new material - there's only so many comic book and toy-franchises to turn into blockbusters - but remaking a film 1:1 with Western actors is just cynical.

If it's already been done just appreciate it and leave it alone. Chances are (as with The Departed) that the end result is just a dumbed down imitation with little merit on its own.  

Call Girl looks alright, but that must be the worst-made trailer ever. Giving away too much while consisting mostly of incoherent, random shots and lines of dialogue. It looks like they try to make the film look more action-packed than it is.

How did you like it SSchadenfreude? 

I'll hate on this so much:

Tyson in his prime

Villa transfers to Atletico for only 2,1million + another 3 mill if he stays there for 2 more years? WTF? 

New Bong Joon Ho

For me it's the semi-untucked shirt that bothers me, besides the cuffs and the laces on the chucks. Overall, it has a T.A. kind of vibe. 

I also had a rib eye at Morton's a couple of years ago. While the meat was good and nicely charred, I was a bit annoyed by the herbs (or herbed salt?) they use, to be honest. It just overpowers the flavors you're looking for in a steak. 

Edit: that was Gibson's, I mixed it up.

Just watched Danny Boyle's "Trance". It was solid, but I'll probably only remember the film for the ridiculously gratuitous shot of Rosaria Dawson's shaved pussy. 

^ Yeah, he played like Arbeloa wasn't even there. Reminded me of Ronaldinho in that classico where he got the ovations at the Bernabeu.

^lol, corny teasing of horny young guys is the essence of k-pop..

If you don't mind me asking, why do you eat vegan? I get the idea of not wanting to eat meat, but I always wondered what's with the no eggs dairy products? 

^ Feels like a bit like pastiche of other movies, which is a bit disappointing for Scorsese (same as in Shutter Island), but still interesting enough. 

Anybody following the Confed Cup? Cracking strike from Neymar: 

^ Thanks.

Somebody know where I might find a voronoi pant in 30 (preferably in Europe)? 

Episode 10 was ok, but a bit of a letdown after the last one. That last scene with the slaves was just awkward, not a good way to begin the endless wait for season 4..
