Orange Twofers

[jacey]

When my ex bandmate, H, is not away gigging we make a point of doing the cinema on a Wednesday afternoons, taking advantage of the Orange 241 deal. We generally go an see every SF and fantasy movie out there and as a result have sat and munched popcorn through some crap (Dragonballs), walked out of Tron 2, and caught some good stuff we might not otherwise have made an effore to see (Ironman 1 and 2).

Just occasionally it's a thin week and there are no SF/F movies on offer that we haven't already seen, so we cave and see something else. This week we made the horrible mistake of going to see 'Bad Teacher'. The trailer looked OK, but regrettably it showed all of the best bits (there aren't that many but they can just about scrape enough to make a trailer) and none of the worst bits. I recommend you avoid this movie like the plague unless you really want to see Justin Timberlake dry-humping Cameron Diaz in the most charmelss, unfunny and unerotic manner possible.

This should have been funny. Sadly it just sucked.

Ah, you rock. Mark Harmon _and_ Alan Rickman! I must admit, though, that looking at the photos on IMDB, Mark Harmon is infinitely better looking with silver hair and a few more years on his face. He was almost too pretty when he was younger.

Other than the NCIS box sets, I have 24 Mark Harmon titles, and not counting the Harry Potter films, 31 Alan Rickman titles. Hmmm, there's a lot more MH stuff, but so much of it is TV and not on DVD. :(

Amusingly, in Louis L'Amour's Crossfire Trail, MH plays the suave baddy to Tom Selleck's cowboy Hero and in Quigley Down Under (classic cowboy film) it's AR playing the suave baddy against Tom Selleck. Iirc, Mr Selleck gets to punch both of them. :)

It's an interesting way to watch films I'd never otherwise see - AR's Snowcake and MH's I'll Remember April, both excellent mainstream films.
