yeah, he's great in it. i'm not sure about oliver stone's hammy hand though.

EmmaH-- the rats didn't carry the plague?? who did??

this is new to me & i'm curious.

Marie Antoinette

Rewatched via cable today, originally saw in theater. I love the shoe-trying-on scene where there's a pair of baby blue Converse Chucks in the background!

When people got the plague it was because a flee infected them, rats just happened to carry the flee.

So it's a good movie I'm guessing? I've never seen it but the adds for it kind of caught my attention.

we own the night. it was ok in parts but pretty awful in a lot of it.

Yeah, I love it. I might be in the minority opinion, though.

oh yeah sure. but it was the rats that took the fleas in the ships.

it was not the fleas or the rats, they were just carriers. it was the practice throughout europe of disposing raw sewage directly into the streams and rivers as well as dumping the bedpans of piss and the odd shit every single morning out the window to drain down the gutters of the streets. fucking disgusting

I dunno if they talked about this, my memory is hazy.

ewww....

rob, that's cholera, not the bubonic plague

the bubonic plague aka the black death is transmitted by blood/fleas via rats

ahhh, either way them euro whiteys were some filth dwelling shit sucking nasty fucks.

true dat

i fnally finished dead ringers. fantastic. i need to see more croneberg. jeremy irons is brilliant in it.
im now rewatching susperia. probably the best horror movie that ive seen. that first murder scene is one of gthe best. i really have to see more argento, especially profondo rossi. i heard thats great

Bad Education.

Saw "Into The Wild", thought it was really good.

yesterday i saw fellinis 8 1/2-excellent
and today i saw greenaways 8 1/2 women - meh. not even close to his other films. a zed and two noughts is my favorite of his so far. still need to see most of them

Unleashed - Jet Li
Better than I expected. It was fun.

i vaguely remember 81/2 women. one thing with greenaway i think is he suffers from bad conscience, white man's guilt, something like that. like nietzsche's "last man".

my favorite of his is the pillow book, and that's because of the extraordinary beauty of vivian wu.

cloverfield - liked it way more than I thought I would
idiocracy - hmmmmmmmm, meh.
