Unless he's moved recently, he lives in France. I think that tells you all you need to know.

I liked the first one, and I'll probably see this one, and definitely the 3rd one (due out next summer or something)

I just saw "Gladiator" for the first time. I was impressed.

Oh yeah, did you hear about the only war that France ever won? It was against the FRENCH!!!

Forget Depp. Keira Knightley... :naughty:
Yeah, all 75 pounds of her. No thank you. As the Greatest Living American, the Nature Boy Ric Flair, once eloquently and accurately stated, "I like the girls with the full sweaters.'

Ordinarily I'd be agreeing with you, but I've heard some interviews she's done and she seems a genuinely fun type of girl to be around. Plus, I love that accent! Variety. Spice rack. Life.

I'll pass on this and wait for Clerks 2.

I'm gearing myself up for nothing but disappointment with the upcoming Clerks in Color. I hope I'm wrong, but let a classic be a classic.

Anything Kevin Smith does is good...with the exception of Jersey Girl, and that was ok. Mallrats never gets the play it deserves.

When a movie like that comes a long, I make my best concious effort to dissociate the two movies. Usually it works and I can enjoy the sequel on its own merits. I have a feeling this one will have all the goofy laughs of the first, and probably lack the same level of emotional connection with the characters. Honest good goofy laughs is usually enough to compell me to watch a movie, with my student ID card during matinee times.

Pirates was pretty good. Saw it at the rumored, soon to be defunct, Franklin Cinema, which is a real pisser because it's the only theater left in the entire South Nashville area that was open when I was a kid, other than Hickory Hollow Mall which I think you probably have to have a passport to visit these days.

As for the new Clerks, I just can't see how they could ever recapture the initial impact of a line like, "Try not to s*&% any d@#$ on the way to the parking lot!" I'm a sucker though so I'll probably go see it.

I liked the Silence of the Lambs dance in the trailer.

I hope Berserker makes a cameo

"Would you like some making f*** berserker"

I saw "Star Wars" (1977) , "Empire Strikes Back (1980)", and "Return of the Jedi" (1983) at Hickory Hollow Mall (the theatre outside of the mall). I remember seeing "Flash Gordon" there, too. (inside the mall)

I saw "The Champ"and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at the theatre near Steinmart on Nolensville Road.


Good times.

Good times.
A few that I can remember, I saw at various places around town:
"Star Wars" at Cinema South (the one that was by Stein Mart on N'ville Rd) my grandad was visiting from Texas and he took me :D see you really do remember that stuff;
"Empire Strikes Back" at Melrose Cinema on Franklin Rd.;
"Return of the Jedi" at Hickory Hollow outside the mall;
"Karate Kid" at Hickory Hollow inside the mall;
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" at Harding Mall, the old two-screen theater that you had to go inside the mall to enter and not the more recent one that was stuck on the side of the building;
"Enter the Ninja" (first Rated R movie I got to see in the theater) at the Bell Forge Cinema near Hickory Hollow;
"Sixteen Candles" (first real movie date) at 100 Oaks Cinema that was outside the mall in a strip next to a pool hall (maybe a Gameland?);
"Police Academy" at Brentwood Cinema, my mom had to go with me bacause I was maybe 13 or 14 and she laughed more than me; and
"Jackie Brown" at the Belcourt, that was the last movie I saw there before it turned into arthouse cinema but I still go there sometimes I something sounds good.

Other theaters that I remember going to numerous times but just can't think of any standout experiences right now are the Franklin 8 and Franklin 12 that were pretty much accross HWY 96 from one another, Fountain Square, Lion's Head, and the Belle Meade Theater. i'm leaving off the Franklin Cinema since I had it in my prior post. Also, when I was a kid several of the downtown theaters were still standing but by then they were all either abandoned or showing porno. I guess people who were born after home video had really caught on will have a hard time beleiving that folks used to go to a public theater to watch X-rated movies but it sure happened.

POTC two was one of the best movies i've seen it was really really cool. A perfect mix of action, adventure, drama, and bit of comedy. Maybe the third will actually take place in the carribean lol.
