What kind of star rating would you give The Cooler?

Okay, maybe I didn't know it. Sounded familiar yet I never saw Envy. Is that still in theaters?

I liked your recap of Eternal Sunshine, HG. I haven't seen it yet (disappeared from theaters before I had a chance), but I wanted to.

Nothing's wrong with it. I was just disappointed that it wasn't what I had been hoping for in a movie about AVH.

That was my problem with the whole movie. I heard they were making a Van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman and I was imagining something like Bram Stoker's Dracula but with the focus being on a younger version of Anthony Hopkins' Abraham Van Helsing character. So I was stoked. Then I saw the trailer...

I don't mind that age doesn't mess with a Jedi's ghostly appearance. But, and I think we've argued this here before but I don't remember the results, wouldn't it be more appropriate for Luke to see his father's Jedi ghost appear as he does the one time Luke actually sees him? As Sebastian Shaw? And, if death doesn't mess with the ghost, then why does Obi Wan still appear as Alec Guinness and not as Ewan McGregor?

I saw Manhunter which was the original version and I didn't like it much. Haven't seen Red Dragon. I heard how bad it was and, after seeing Hannibal, I decided I didn't want to further ruin my love of Hannibal the Cannibal from Silence of the Lambs. Red Dragon the book is spectacular, though.

It could be argued that it's a killing spree. He's killing all of our childhood memories. He's killing our hopes and dreams of owning the OT on DVD in its real version. He's killing our respect for him. Not like we're dead or anything, but it's a type of "killing", per se.

I once thought that as well. He didn't with Hannibal, though. I'm sorry, but I just hated it. IMHO, of course.

Here's a better way to think about it Shimmy. In the U.S., you would have only lost $29.20.

Burned bacon is good though. Nice and crispy... yum. And, no, I don't want to hear any quotes from Pulp Fiction.

But, based on your definition, it still kind of works. I like to think of Shimraa as a "split from reality", don't you?

No, they shot the footage while making the original cuts of the films and just edited out the footage. They are not going back and shooting all new stuff after the theatrical release. All their actors have committed to other projects. Elijah Wood even said in an interview that he finished all filming work with LOTR about three to four years ago.

Thank you, Dr. Jung. I was referring to a derivation of an old childhood rhyme.

It was fantastic.

Another fantastic movie I just rented and am now planning to buy is The Cooler with William H. Macy, Alec Baldwin, and Maria Bello. Damn good movie about a Vegas "cooler" (Macy) and his relationship with his casino boss (Baldwin) and a waitress in the casino (Bello). Alec definitely deserved his Oscar nom for this one.

In case you're wondering, a "cooler" is someone who can turn a casino winner into a loser just by his very presence. He has such a negative vibe about him, that a hot table turns cool.

I don't hate the character of Hannibal. Just the book and movie of that title. Stupid, contrived piece of garbage.
