What’s with your weird obsession with Colin Hanks? Every post, on every forum, you bring him up.
“Hey, I’m worried about the situation in Syria. I don’t think Bashar is going to step down any time soon! I wonder if Colin Hanks is going to weigh in on the matter?”
“When discussing gun control in the context of the 2nd Amendment, I think it’s important to know first and foremost that Colin Hanks was great in Season 6 of Dexter.”
“Yeah, I had a little health scare last night. Nothing serious. Someone told me Colin Hanks had food poisoning.”
Saw it. Emily Blunt was nice (hint: she’s always nice). Rest of it was so-so, including Tom’s attempt to boost his spawn’s movie.
When you get to be my age, you’ll be worrying about your colin too.
I wish more people would see Black Dynamite. :/
Orange County was underrated! I should watch it for a second time.
The Avengers. Also Skyfall.
-Tom…and yet again with the Colin Hanks. Sweet Mother of God, do we need to change the forum name to quartertohanks.com?
My vote would be for Army of Shadows.
IRL, it’s The Princess Bride, which a surprisingly large number of my co-workers over the years had not seen before I mentioned it or they wondered why I was wearing this shirt. Among the likes of QT3, though, it would be Primer. Best time-travel movie ever, and possibly my favourite movie of the 2000s.
Hell yes, everyone should watch this movie.
Being lazy here, but I just watched Looper and thought it was pretty good. Is Primer at all similar? I find it hard to mentally categorize time travel movies.

Not even remotely. It’s very lo-fi. Rather than explicitly telling the audience not to worry about time travel paradoxes or causal loops etc, as Looper does, it cares very deeply about those questions and pushes them to their limits. It’s nerdy as hell. It’s extremely confusing the first time you see it. And probably the second time and maybe the third time. It’s very grounded, for want of a better word. There’s no telekinesis or mysterious all-powerful crimelords or anything like that. Apart from the initial premise of engineers stumbling upon time-travel/free-energy by accident, it’s all set in the real familiar world.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. One of the great action comedies.
First time I’ve ever heard of it. Is it the French one?
Oh yes, oh god yes. This is why I’m so excited about Shane Black directing Iron Man 3.
Sounds like fun. I’ll have to hunt that one down.
Amen. For sheer magnitude of awesome/popularity ratio BD wins easily.
Indeed! To anyone who has not seen it!
Yep. It was made in 1969 but wasn’t released in the US until 2006. I’d never even heard of it until someone on this forum described Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy as being similar but not quite as good. Since I loved TTSS, I grabbed a copy of the Criterion edition of AoS and it turned out to be one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Man, that ending…
“Ssshhh…you gonna wake up the other bitches!”
