Topic: Blood Diamond

[iPPi]

Just saw this.  Pretty good movie, but I felt it was kind of long.  Lots of parts that felt a little drawn out, but overall, I enjoyed it.

[MysterD]

I'm waiting for this to hit DVD.
Should be soon, I'd guess...

[MysterD]

I'm watching this on DVD.

Good line here....

EDIT:
Just finished watching it. Hell of a movie.


The Departed Spoiler & Blood Diamond Spoiler

What is up w/ Leo DiCaprio dying in films lately....?

That's pretty much what I thought. I really liked Blood Diamond, but they still found a way to stick some cliches in there heh.

The cliche in the 70s was for everyone to get naked in movies.

Now the cliche is for everyone you care about in movies to end up dead.

  It's a phase.  It will pass.

Aww shit, I just realized it was a double spoiler... or was it?

Anyway I was looking up reviews on rottentomatoes, and one made me laugh. It said this was the goofiest message movie ever, which I found funny because that's what I was thinking as well. The movie has a serious message, some fantastic acting, coupled with a goofy weird love story and a guy who has plenty of rambo moments.

It was like a hindi movie! A bit of everything.

Wait...I thought we're in 2007 now, not the 70's.....

Are you joking about my age?  Watch is, sonny, or I'll break my geritol over your head and beat you with my cane.

[Quemaqua]

I would pay to see that.

Cobra vs MyD PPV!

Actually, no, I wasn't.

I was taking a stab at how you said how everybody gets naked in the movies in the 70's....
My sarcastic line was questioning if this still remains the same, in current times, given how many movies are loaded w/ nudity and sex scenes...

[Cobra951]

Haha!  Paranoia setting in, I guess.

Yeah, there's still nudity, but it will always be some young starlet who had to do that to ever get her shot.  Once upon a time, the headliners were shedding clothes left and right in American cinema.  Obligatory tit shots all over, and quite a bit more on occasion.  You don't see that much anymore, and it's now regarded (once again) as a questionable thing to do, not career advancement.

Kind of like how Anne Hathaway did "Havoc" to get out of only being offered roles for movies like "Princess Diaries", hehe.

Ahhh....

I remember Sharon Stone saying, "I'm the only actress I know getting paid to keep her clothes on...." hehe.
