I'll have to check those out too. When writing my comment the only WWI movies that were coming to mind were Gallipoli and All Quiet on the Western Front, obviously neither being particularly recent.

Fair point, War Horse completely slipped my mind (I didn't see it, but it is in the queue somewhere).

A movie of All the Shah's Men would be really fascinating. Not holding my breath for that one though.

I would love to see a recent, big-budget movie on WWI and am kind of surprised it hasn't happened. It was like the collision of two different eras (think of how much could be done with costumes/set design), and WWII and so much succeeding history spiraled out of it.

I'll give this one a chance, actually. I really dug Silkworm back during my schoolin' days, and Sun 0))) is one of those groups that I theoretically should/could like but never really did it for me. Maybe some kind of noise Arnold Palmer could work.

I won't say Love, but I genuinely like Predator 2 and think it has gotten sort of a bum rap as an action movie. Predators I thought was just generic and unimpressive.

I'm generally against reboots/excessive sequels/etc. too but I went to see Predators out of extensive love for the first movie and solid like of the Gary-Busey-Meatlocker-Death-by-Blade-Frisbee second one.

I believe this is actually a Rambo III remake.

If I could have some kind of O'Neal filter I could watch the show through to simultaneously gritify/mock it I would consider watching it. Otherwise, no dice.

With ape-sentience being a relatively new thing, the ape labor market is extremely loose. Thus, ape-labor has a strong bargaining position and press for concessions like this. Makes sense really.

Where do bad scripts go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to a tentpole flick by and by
See 'em again every 4th of Julyyyy!

I used to love Seth Stevenson's advertising reviews, many a moon ago. Just the right balance of information and snark (sorta like here).

The things one does at one's boring accounting job.

ZomPEZ. How is this not a thing already? It's a perfect blend of zombie, nostalgia for a thing that is actually terrible, and pun.

Me too. And it retroactively de-shocked some of the other plot points for me because now, you know, death doesn't have to be some big final thing for a character. I wasn't too crazy about it when I read it.

Great point. I can't help but think back to the Haneke thread from Time of the Wolf a couple of days back.

Hey, at least Crassus was colorful! Way better than The Other Guy from the Second Triumvirate.

That is indeed a really fascinating book, my favorite non-fiction book in a long while. One thing the book really hammers home is the near-constant low-level violence and raiding that took place for most of human history. Between that and crime, one was much more likely to meet a violent end (even and especially…

Well there is that (extremely vague, so not too spoiler-y) very stupid plot that Freamon surprisingly goes along with in Season 5 (one of that season's many flaws) but other than that, he's a good dude.

Why don't you eat up and we'll tell ya? *snickers uncontrollably*
