Scorsese, DeNiro, Tom Green!


From Jono Prosser:

Hey Ted

Great site you've got here - I like the brotherly messenger section especially. Here's my movie list, many of which I have seen since Belgium last year - perhaps some of your analytic magic is brushing off? Anyway, I hope you are well and the life of girls, sun and e-whatever is cool in California. And for when it isn't, well you've still got Graham Greene.

See Yah

Jono (of Remonval & Leiden fame)

PS - I hope the ribs are okay!

Being British, I have 12 favourite movies, in no particular order apart from the first three:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The Deer Hunter
Requiem for a Dream
Goodfellas
Toy Story 2
Robocop
Road Tip
Being John Malkovich
The Sixth Sense
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Memento
Oh Brother, where art thou?

I could only muster seven worst films before I started to foam at the mouth with fury at having paid the entrance charge......(they are truely THAT bad)
Point of no return
Anaconda
The General's Daughter
Guest Hotel Paradiso
Solo (with Mario Van Peeble) or, shite as we say in Scotland.
Hard Rain
Striking distance

Okay, here's what tedstrong.com has to say: I spent Xgiving with Jono and Randy and Seth and Kate and Jen and the rest (the Professor and Mary Ann) in Belgium in 1999. Haven't heard from Jono in long time, but there are still pix of him on my Belgium page in the Archives section if you want to see him.

Anyway, I liked Crouching Tiger, haven't seen Deer Hunter, thought Requiem for Dream was too over the top and silly, Goodfellas is great, didn't see Toy Story 1 or 2, Robocop is only okay, but I haven't seen it since original release. Road Trip was funny, with an engaging cast. Malkovich is a modern classic, Sixth Sense is nothing more than light entertainment. Holy Grail I loved as a kid, haven't seen it in a long, time but still feel I have the dialog memorized. Memento was good. Oh Brother Where Art Thou was good.

Bad movies, Point of No Return was a pointless American version of La Femme Nikita, but I didn't hate it, and Bridget Fonda did the best she could with it. Anaconda was dumb, schlocky fun with Kari Wuhrer and Owen Wilson. The General's daughter was crap. Hotel Paradiso didn't see. Solo certainly didn't see. Hard Rain and Striking Distance I missed too.
