Well...that figures ha ha.... @bondjames thanks for the information. And a classic too! Very good.
...and found it on iTunes, from 1998, that makes it her film before TWINE, that's cool.
From the pics I see and description it sounds like some sort of neo-noir? I may just buy it instead of renting it.
That would make it the second film only I actually own...ahem...the other one being The Sound of Music....well....that's a stretch! I guess.
Yes. An undisputed classic, that one.
I may just as well start to widen my knowledge about contemporary cinema by watching Wild Things and Starship Troopers then.
I admit I have never seen a sci-fi movie before. Unless Avengers belongs to that category, a chore to sit through that was, but then I only go to the cinema sometimes, for the socializing.
In a sense MR could qualify as science fiction, though Cubby referred to it as "science fact". I'd say it's an honorary sci-fi film.
I can think of few better places than Starship Troopers to begin a foray into science fiction cinema.
It also comes with the equally incomparable Dina Meyer.
Pick up Starship Troopers now if you would like to see more.
You will press play...AND YOU WILL WIN!
I'll give it a go. Sometimes I love being around in this time and space. iTunes seems to have about anything just ready to watch (purchase or rent).
A - A very clever and extremely well executed critique on society
B - A terrible pulp movie
You either love it or hate it. Personally I love it, I think it falls in th first category. But indeed it isn't the best introduction into sci-fi. Still, fun to watch.
Wild Things is just what the title says. It's Denise at her best acting too.
Oh they certainly are, but you know, Verhoeven is like Tosca, he's not for everyone ;)
ha ha ok, I'll keep that in mind...
if it's over the top violence I may like it actually, I just hate very realistic, torturous violence, I can't see anything that show or suggests rape either.
I still don't know if Felix's wife was raped or not, is that established?
I just find the violence too graphic in LTK, Krest's death is bad enough, why show it!!!!
I got to start somewhere and I admit Denise Richards is w***ing material for me.
My favorite though is Eva Green, but she is a Goddess in general. Divine and perfect.
Verhoeven is as over the top as you can get in mainstream cinema, it's like a crash course in human anatomy with all the Body parts flying around, and i have to admit Total Recall had traumatized me quite badly as a small kid lol.
But Verhoeven also had a nice eye for attractive ladies ;)
it's the other of his famous tropes.
Girls and Violence, mix it all together, make it over the top and you have a Verhoeven movie.
Maybe we should move this particular conversation somewhere else just to get back on topic.
Well that would be a honor, if people would think I am you!
Surely no one would have to dual account @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7
And if they did, we usually spot them ;)
Like Sean spotted lovely Ursula on the beach in DN.
@001
No one should get anything "fixed" IMO.
We are all @Thunderfinger's accounts. This is his martix. We don't exist.
It is as if I should have said it myself.
You mean you did, because he did, so you did.
INCEPTION.
Also, is that GIF at the top of this page from Wild Things? I've never seen it, but apparently I should fix that ASAP.
It is from Wild Things and it's the first ever movie I actually purchased myself after seeing that GIF.
I need my fix of Denise Richards, on repeat, pause and slow-mo button in use heavily.
On that 108" screen I luckily got here.
...I want to watch TWINE....like now...strange...
EDIT: Another good one from that era is Palmetto with Woody Harrelson and Elizabeth Shue.
This can't be Thunderfinger's matrix, you see, because I do not agree with—I do not agree with—

Wild Things is better than TWINE.
You may call me Your Imperial Highness or Your Magnificence.
