I felt that Norton kind of dropped the ball in the second half, but I was actually referring to how he asked the studio to give him permission to edit it how he saw fit. The director has since tried to distance himself from the movie, because it's not how he wanted it to turn out.
Edit: Just saw The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Such an incredible movie. A lot of the shots remind me of old daguerrotypes. Definitely one of the best films that I've seen in the last 10 years. Absolutely stunning.

Movie: J'eux D'enfants (English title: Love Me If You Dare)
One of the most fun and light films I have seen in the past few years; it remains childish and playful even as the entire story descends into gloom.
Music: Chris Trapper / The Push Stars
You may have a bit of trouble finding anything by these guys, but they are fantastic. The Push Stars was a three-man group fronted by Chris Trapper that broke up a few years ago. Chris has since begun working on solo albums and touring as a one-man show. All of his albums show a great deal of depth and imagination, ranging from forlorn and acoustic (Songs From The Middle Of The World) to fun and upbeat, with a full jazz band behind him (Gone Again). Well worth the listen.

--- Quote from: Legendaryratboy on 20 Apr 2007, 21:08 ---the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer is extremley good and manages to mix Irish fables of fairies and other magical creatures with ultra futuristic technology and criminal masterminds, nad also, the main character is 12 years old and smarter than most adults of any species in the book... talk about creepy.
Other works by Eoin Colfer are also highly recomended, they offer a fresh outlook on many old themes and add his own personal twist of mixing old school Tolkien type fantasy with innoviative science fiction, defiently a good read if youre looking for something refreshing.

Seconding Artemis Fowl, this book series gets insane in it's later parts. Mulch Diggums, a kleptomaniac dwarf that digs tunnels by unhinging his jaw and eating and then expelling the dirt, is one of the greatest characters I have ever read. Highly recommended even if the reading level is below you.
Also would recommend:
Gravity by Tess Gerrisen
A great work of Scifi involving the Internationally space station and a mysterious contaminent.
Timeline by MIchael Chrighton
[Not the shitty movie!] The greatest Medieval/Timetravel story I have ever read.

--- Quote from: Ikrik on 16 May 2008, 22:16 ---Trainspotting the novel was incredible.....and by that I mean it was incredibly hard to read. But still an amazing book, highly rewarding to get through fourty or fifty pages.
I'm thinking of getting into some Grindhouse movies.....can anyone suggest some good (relatively) ones?

Braindead or Dead Alive(U.S. title)
Peter Jackson+Lawnmower+Zombies=Awesome

I just watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang last night, and it skyrocketed up to one of my all time favorite movies. It's a really dark comedy, absolutely quotable, and has the kind of twisted plot that just keeps you going WTF?!?! while laughing your ass off at the same time.
Besides, Robert Downy Jr. 8-) nuff said.
