that wasn't the best part.

Sailboats > Loma Prieta.

so anyway is like uh Sailboats the same dudes as Loma Prieta, or did they actually die? I've never looked into that.

saw storm the bastille tonight, god damn they are ****ing incredible live. highly recommended.

band is from my area i believe, remember jammin their **** back in the day

saw milk tonight, one of the best movies ive seen in a while

sean penn was perfect in Milk

best movie of 08 was Let The Right One In, followed by Happy Go Lucky.

i hated this band when i saw em. the vocalist was so sweaty

a two show tour in your own state isn't a tour.

My mate loves Loma Prieta, and he told me the otherday that they are the same band and Sailboats didnt die. Loma Prieta used to play the song 'Behind Trees' in their live show. Apparently.

Also on my 'to see' list.

I know they "cover" Behind Trees and they sound almost the same so yeah that makes sense

loved this movie, my friend took me to see it for my birthday and i loved it.

thought it was a bit overtly gay. like they were trying to be like "these dudes were fags" way too much.

oh well.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409;17015518]Really wanted to see both of those but haven't gotten around to it. Are any easily online like on hulu or something?[/QUOTE]

I watched both of them in theaters, but I'm pretty sure they are both readily available on different online sources. But they are spectacular films.

I say* films because they obviously TRANSCEND being mere movies

pride, man.

i guess, but like it was so HEY LOOK SEAN PENN AND JAMES FRANCO ARE MAKING OUT HEY LOOK EMILE HIRSCH IS A TWINK.

it could've been subtler and told a story rather than sensationalizing something. its like if you make a movie about black people you don't have them sitting around eating fried chicken and playing basketball. just felt like it was focusing on how the characters were gay a little too much instead of making any actual points.

jared is upset at how they portrayed him :(

i disagree, i think that may have been how your perceived it.
the fact that they are gay is a big part of the whole story, i see where you are coming from but i feel like it was pulled off well.




James Franco is ****ing hot in this movie though, jesus.

James Franco was great in that movie. Sean Penn was the main detractor i guess, although i usually like his performances. love that Mickey Rourke made some comment about how Penn hates fags as well.

i'd say my favorite movie this year was either Hellboy 2 or Wall-E.

Wall-E was badass.

hellboy 2 and wall-e were my number 3 and 4 movies. hellboy 2 ruled in every way

i have a hard time deciding between all the movies i liked. i just saw benjamin button recently. i liked it more than forrest gump i think(shared writer). slumdog was great but i almost wanted it to be a tragedy instead of having the "comedy" ending. I liked Milk a lot, it was really gay, but i think that the whole "van sant being gay in california during that time period" excuses it possibly... i mean i have somewhat of a feeling that people just were that gay. I guess he could've made it more low key for the homophobes out there but i mean... he's never really hidden the gayness in his movies.

What homophobes are going to go see a movie about Harvey Milk?

people who think the band made a movie

i thought franco and penn were absolutely incredible, but have to agree that emile hirsch overemphasized the homosexuality a bit too much, with the shots of him dancing and stuff, little too much. everyone else was amazing though, josh brolin too

i was trying to be shocking, offensive, and extreme.




like sid vicious

Sid Vicious was lame-o.

whatever

also the whole point of the movie was that harvey milk stood for the whole we will not be in the closet and how being so open about it was crucial to the movement's success, so i think that's why the actors played the characters particularly up

Rachel Getting Married was really good.
