I counter act your card with this...

I've actually heard that some of these cards are worth good money. I have a bunch of them and should get on it!

If you have a Black Lotus, you're rich, Mitch!

I re-watched part of the previous Antoine Fuqua/Clive Owen flick the other day. How did a movie with such a great cast and seemingly easy subject matter suck so bad?!?

They stripped away everything that makes the King Arthur story the King Arthur story in the name of realism and gave us a movie about barbarians.

I am not a fan of Antoine Fuqua, though I did like Olympus Has Fallen.

There's a fond spot in my heart for The Replacement Killers, and I did like Training Day, but... I either didn't like or have zero interest in seeing pretty much everything else.

They stripped away everything that makes the King Arthur story the King Arthur story in the name of realism and gave us a movie about barbarians.

Oh yeah, now I remember. Such a waste. Look at this ****:

Ioan Gruffud
Mads Mikkelsen
Joel Edgerton
Hugh Dancy
Ray Winstone
Ray Stevenson
Stellan Skarsgard

Incredible.

Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz to Star in THE LOBSTER from DOGTOOTH Director Yorgos Lanthimos | Collider

Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz are set to lead The Lobster, which will mark the English-language debut of Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos. I’ve only seen Lanthimos’ previous two films, Dogtooth and Alps, and they’re incredibly weird. Their plots’ defy easy description, and judging by THR’s synopsis, The Lobster sounds like it will be only slightly less nuts: “an unconventional love story set in a dystopian future where finding a partner is a matter of life or death.” If you’re a fan of Lanthimos’ work, that probably makes you giddy, and I hope I’ll enjoy this one more than Dogtooth and Alps

Ben Wheatley's Nex Film Is An Adaptation Of JG Ballard's High-Rise Starring Tom Hiddleston - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Apparently this book is very good, but numerous attempts to film have failed. Nice director/actor combo though. Look forward to it.

Here’s the official synopsis for The Lobster:

An unconventional love story set in a dystopian near future where single people, according to the rules of the Town, are arrested and transferred to the Hotel. There they are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released in the woods. A desperate man escapes from the Hotel to the woods where the Loners live and there he falls in love although it’s against the rules.

Looking forward to watching it this weekend again.

Fond o'that Ender's Game aintcha brother? Ok...I'll bite and give it a go.

 

[orpheus]

I am sorta jealous of high school students who got to read Ender's Game for school. I had to suffer through A Separate Peace. :facepalm:

Haha. I am still planning on watching the movie and then reading the book.
