Pajiba

I live in the north of Norway, so I will refrain from mocking your pussyness because the 15 years of my life were spent somewhere along the equator.

The first movie looks like someone is going to hand out some righteous vengeance and that's ALWAYS a good thing. I don't care how many times it's been done. Hurray to ass-kicking!

The second one looks...hmm...I'll have to decide, but I do like Ralph Fiennes as a homicidal maniac, he does it so well. Lord Voldemort with a gun.

The first one looks a bit like Denzel Washington Kills Everyone, I mean Man on Fire, so yeah I'm there.

Well, if Cage can engineer the downfall of man, I, BarbadoSlim, shall be the architect of his resurgence and the eventual conquest of the known galaxy.

Get me Spielberg on the phone!

1. Liam Neeson....? As a badass...? It's like my hot-as-shit 3rd cousin just grabbed my junk in the corner of the bar and whispered all kinds of sexual nastiness in my ear. I mean, sure, it looks like a great time, it looks like it'll blow my mind, and I can't wait to fuckin try it out....but I'm not sure if there's something wrong with that?

2. I don't particularly like Colin Farrell, but I love Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. Not to mention Colin won't have to make another horrible attempt at an American accent. Plus...i love it when Brits/Irish/and.or/Scottish use the word 'Cunt'. This movie is like your hot-as-shit first cousin grabbing my junk in the bar and whispering sexual nastiness in my ear. Initially, I'm not to keen on the subject because I know how wrong this whole thing could be. But the more i think about it I figure "Sure...if I was fucking drunk enough it could be amazing. Possibly good even when I'm sober. But either way...I'll have something to tell my friends later."

In no. 2 I meant MY hot as shit first cousin. OF COURSE I would fuck your hot-as-shit first cousin. Hell...I prolly wouldn't even spit on it.

You know what we do when it gets cold in the Midwest? We turn our damn heat on. Do you not have heating units in LA? If it were 47 here, we'd turn some heat on so we didn't have to sleep in sweatpants.

It's in the high 70's in Miami. Unfortunately I'm leaving in 2 days, and then I'll be bitching louder than you, trust me.

PissBoy seems to be having trouble conveying his message, but I agree that there's something a little wrong about Liam Neeson playing the murderous avenger. I just don't see it.

Didn't Liam play Darkman, wasn't that character a deranged avenging wacko?

For those of you having trouble seeing Liam Neeson as a pissed-off avenging badass:

Darkman.

The carnival scene alone should straighten things out.

What is this? This...warm, fuzzy light I am feeling? Deep within my soul....it feels....it feels like....

HOPE

Two trailers that are both entertaining and intriguing, and don't make me want to walk next door and stap my neighbor in the eye. This is good. This is relief.

This...won't last.

Let's not forget Liam's turn as a pissed-off avenging badass in "Next of Kin."

Really? You guys liked that second trailer??

I saw it when we went to see No Country and the resounding reaction to that was "uh-kay".

Then again, I hate Colin Farrel. The only good movie he's ever done was Tigerland and I've been bitterly disappointed in his work since.

Also, finding out that my former flame Ralph Fiennes (so good in so many movies) is a bit too skeevy for my tastes has seriously damaged my ability to watch his movies - I keep thinking if he groped all the women on the set, or just the ones in the airplane flying to the location?

*Sigh* this will be a big pass for moi.

Hi Joker. I live in Norway too, but in the way hotter southern part. It's nice to know there's another Pajiba reader in this tiny part of the world.

I live in flippin Chicago, the city that basically hibernates all winter. My choice, I know, and probably a stupid one, but you can't beat Chicago summers. However, right now it's 33 degrees and I am thanking my lucky stars for such a warm day. We've had snow (Thanksgiving was the first snow of the year, I believe), freezing rain, and hail already. So from a freezing-temperatures veteran, here is some advice: turn your heat on, stay in those sweats (I hope you have warm socks), invest in hot beverages and alcohol, don't be ashamed to drape yourself in blankets, and stop being such a pussy. Also, and take Airborn (it totally fends off those inter-office nasty-ass viruses, I swear!).

Yeah, I'm there for In Bruges.

But then, I have a shameless love for Colin Farrell.

Randomly, when I think of Paul Rudd right now, I think of how much the Reno 911 movie sucked other than him. I love him in that movie.

The small children up here in Canada have it pretty bad... if they aren't being mauled by elk in the winter when they wander too far from the igloo, they are being carried away by the mosquitoes in the summer

nice to see Maggie Grace getting work, post-Lost.

Dammit Dan! I'm all conflicted. It's -2 celsius here (28 degrees for my American friends) so I did want to mock you for the candy-like nature of your ass, but then you dropped an Office Space reference and 2 trailers that didn't suck donkey balls.

Let's call it a push.

We're due for 10 inches of snow and then freezing rain. I'd fuck a goose for 47 degrees right now.

TK - eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww ;)

I'd pay to watch TK fuck said goose for 10 inches of snow here.

Or maybe I'd rather watch TK take 10 inches in the freezing rain in exchange for 47 snow geese? Need to think on that a little more before I make-up my mind.

I would tag team that goose with you for three consecutive days without snow! Seriously, it needs to stop... my kids have already had three snow days in the last month.

sally, Al Gore is looking for you!

Man up and grow a beard, Daniel.

As I understand it, the moustache is becoming fashionable in Hollywood again lately, so just imagine how much juice you'll have around Tinseltown if you just grow a beard. Not only functional in cold weather, but a savvy fashion statement to boot.

How the pink and purple fuck have none of you people ever heard of the goddamn maelstrom of comic, bloody fucking genius that is Martin McDonagh? Seriously? The disdain for theatrical production is that high?

Martin McDonagh won the Academy Award for his short film, Six Shooter. Go, right fucking now, stop your work, murder your children and download it. NOW!

He's written a ton of plays that are the sickest, most twisted, fucked-up, disturbing and gut-bustingly hilarious things you will ever commit to your eyes. The Beauty Queen of Leenane, A Skull in Connemara, The Lonesome West, The Cripple of Inishmaan, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, and The Pillowman.

I know I'm the biggest asshole in the world, and I constantly make unfunny jokes and bile-filled rants to make myself feel important, and I generally suck at life, but FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, you people NEED to experience the genius that is this man. Wikipedia him, or Google him, or whatever. He will change your fucking life.

I hate Colin Farrell with the fire of a thousand suns, and after his turn in Miami Vice I wanted to take his face to a deli slicer, but I know in this movie, he will actually be fucking hilarious, because all he has to do is open his mouth and let the words of Martin McDonagh fall forth.

Oh, and have a pleasant rest of your day.

Please, Dear God, may the moustache (how weird is that word?) never ever EVER become popular ANYWHERE that I might ever live or visit (unless it is a Burt Reynolds 'stache accompanied by aviators and worn only by men I don't find attractive anyway). Amen.

but perhaps most devastating, the last new "Pushing Daisies" episode until God knows when. This sucks.

Yes, yes it does.

Believable as a bad-ass or not (he is) Liam Neeson is aging well. Was that Famke Jansen?

Dan, I live in Santa Barbara - its cold and I'd really like to whine about it. But, then I remember....oh yeah, I fucking live in Santa Barbara!

Yeah, speaking as a fellow L.A. citizen, I'm just glad it's cold enough for me to wear one of the sixty billion hoodies lurking in my closet. I swear they're reproducing back there or something.

I think that pretty much no matter how stupid it ends up being, I will most likely see I Love You, Man for the reason you mentioned: Jason Segel and Paul Rudd on camera together. Awesome.

So when you get cold, you fear going to the bathroom?

When we get cold around here, we go outside and shovel refrozen ice-snow mix off our way-too-long driveways, chip our cars out of the solid inch of ice formed on them overnight, drive to work on unplowed roads with jackasses who forgot how to drive in the three days since the last snow fall, and then sit in offices where the gray hellscape outside makes having a window more a curse than a blessing.

So man up and go piss already, Sally.

Wow, I think that insertclevernamehere would like us all to watch something by Martin McDonagh. This is just a feeling that I have.

So I'm sitting here in beautiful downtown Anchorage, AK, not feeling sorry for Dan at all. It's still dark this morning (the sun will peek out in about 3 hours), in the 20s (unseasonably warm), very windy, and there's no snow because we had a heat wave last week that pushed us up into the 30s! It's beginning to look a lot like a dingy Christmas.

Also, I very much agree with the suckiness of Pushing Daisies being over.

If there is not an action movie in which the main character is named "Tryler," one must be made immediately.

"In Bruges" looks like an effing riot. And for the record, I happened to like Colin Farrell. He's swarthy. Love the use of Bruegel (or was in Bosch? Dammit I'm forgetting my Flemish art.) in the ad.

I second insertclevername's endorsement of McDonagh. His plays are awesomeness.

Has Ralph Fiennes finally given up on being a romantic lead and returned to playing the type of character he mastered so well in "Schindler's List", namely oily baddies?

Here in central Virginia, Old Man Winter is a schizophrenic asshole. Yesterday it was in the seventies and sunny, today upper forties and rainy. Last week it was snowing. I wouldn't mind colder temperatures if there were a little consistency from day to day. As it is, my sinus' are a mess and I can't ever figure out what to wear.

I LOVED "Guarding Tess", "Con Air", "City of Angels", "Gone in 60 Seconds", "The Family Man", "Matchstick Men", "The Weather Man", and "National Treasure".

He should be shot for "8mm", "Next", "Ghost Rider", and "Captain Correlli's Mandolin".

And I HATED "Raising Arizona" but I am apparently the only one.

Hey Nick! Cut your hair, stop using bronzer, and quit acting with 19 year-olds as your love interest. It's just creepy.

Alabamapink:
Hieronymus Bosch
Glad to see I wasn't the only one who picked up on that reference to hell

and I second TK, middle of a freaking snowstorm here in NH, 47 degrees is when we break out the T-shirts!

I have one simple solution for the cold: I simply stay under the covers until it goes away. I don't care if that means I'm waking up at 1:30 in the afternoon or sometime next spring. It's frightening out there, and as a girl, that toilet seat is freezing.

In Bruges? Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell? I'm so there. Colin Farrell may be a dirty dirty man but... well really, there's no but. He's dirty. I love him.

I live in Santa Monica. It gets cold here...
at night.

P.S. Is the most gorgeous man walked up to me with a winning smile and asked if he could buy me coffee and I asked his name and his name was Tryler- I'd shoot him on the spot. Because nobody should have to have to live with that.

esp. not the cute ones.

I live in the caribbean, so we are is always warm and we can go to the bathroom without any fear

uh, concerning nic cage in "adaptation," imdb-fun fact is that spike jonze told mr. cage to go against all his "instincts" and do what jonze told him to.
moral: don't give the nic too much credit.

'In Bruges' looks exactly like my kind of movie. I'm glad to see Colin Farrell trying his hand at comedy - I think that will suit him a lot better than the straighter roles he's been trying to play.

Hmmm that Colin Farrell thing might not be that bad, it's got Lord Voldemort and a midget getting smacked around. I might be willing to overlook faux Sonny Crockett stinking up the proceedings.

Daniel, did you mean to spell it Schwaz-renegger? I kinda like it better that way. That dude is reneging on his schwaz. Hee.

Another Chicagoan here to rain (freezing rain, at that) on the parade. A bit of sunshine to get the last of the ice off the car, and now it's all blowy and cold and nasty. Sweatpants, hooded sweatshirt, and lots of tea and hot cider.

Anyway - nice that there's a couple flicks coming up that might not totally suck, but who's 'taking the one for the team' re The Chipmunk Movie?

Halfway through the trailer I was considering suicide techniques for speed and lack of pain. And that was just the trailer. Who's the poor sod who has to sit through the freaking movie?

Pissboy - I love you. I laughed my ass off at your comment.

Bah. I live in the Pacific Northwest. We don't get snow, we have to drive to it.

We ALSO don't get sun.

We get grey. Today it is a wet cold grey. I expect in the next few months we will get a wet, warmish grey. And, if... by chance... the sun actually makes an appearence at any time, no matter how cold it gets, everyone will be outside in swimsuits, sipping mojitos and generally blinding the neighbors with their pasty white skin (even the black guys have pasty white skin around here...)

Yup. Gonna be a grey christmas.

Oh: The movies sound good. I like Fiennes from Strange Days, I remember the trailers for that movie going 'whatever this dude is selling I'm buying, call my lawyer, I'm gunna need 'im.'

I'm sort of anticipating In Bruges, if only because of Ralph Fiennes, and the fact that I have (drumroll, please!) been to Bruges! But I though it was kind of awesome.

But I'm a recent transplant from Texas to Western MA. We got about a foot of snow today, and I am alternating between childlike wonder at it and gut-clenching fear at having to go to class in it tomorrow.

Ah, nothing brings out a good string of commentators like the weather. I had thought that 47 must be below zero, so reading that Dan is bitching about 10 degrees?! In f'ing December?! Ah, I'm just imagining the balmy glory of 10 degrees- all the patios in Canmore would be open, my finger tips wouldn't be white when I waited for the bus, and those damn kids across the street wouldn't have been able to draw a penis in the snow on the back window of my car...

I've been to Bruges twice in the last ten years, even though I live only 60 miles away from it. It has got to be the dullest town of our country. That, or Ostend.

But I'm rooting for the movie! And the soccer team!

Weather report: 3° Celcius, Cloudy, Rainy, Windy, garbage can lid flew away, never to be seen again.

4 degrees in Norwich, England and I'm freezing my tits off.

ps why has no-one mentioned how great Nic Cage is in Valley Girl? the wonky teeth? the triangle of chest-hair? god that is a fecking brilliant film....

How this mutharfuker still get work is beyond me.

If you want to get people interested in watching the trailer to "In Bruges" or excited about the movie, why didn´t you mention that Jordan Prentice was in it instead of Colin Farrell (ugh)? Anyone who has been credited as Howard T. Duck (in "Howard The Duck") and as the Giant Bag Of Weed (in "Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle") gets my vote as the most interesting actor in the movie. Although it´s an obvious visual midget joke, the bar scene with the drinks in the movie´s trailer actually made me laugh out loud.
