Movie Theme of the Week!

[Thursday Next]

Well Brazil was the first film that came to my mind when I saw the term 'Kafkaesque'.

Sam Lowry: Excuse me, Dawson, can you put me through to Mr. Helpmann's office?
Dawson: I'm afraid I can't sir. You have to go through the proper channels.
Sam Lowry: And you can't tell me what the proper channels are, because that's classified information?
Dawson: I'm glad to see the Ministry's continuing its tradition of recruiting the brightest and best, sir.
Sam Lowry: Thank you, Dawson.

[nebbit]

Mid week change :)

[n3wt]

I think I'll have a change in the morning ;)

[honeykid]

I like that one, Nebs. :up:

[Caitlyn]

I'm thinking The Others would qualify... so am changing to one from it for now...


http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp64/Octopussygalore/Film/431px-The_others_poster.jpg

[n3wt]

My new choice is this :)

http://pixhost.ws/avaxhome/2007-08-01/disturbia.jpg

[Caitlyn]

Looks like Iroquois is up next.... btw, I know I changed back to one of my regular avatars a little early but I thought I was going to be gone until Monday (things changed)... and, I would think Sarah Connor would qualify anyway as her life pretty much was nightmare...

[Ðèstîñy]

Yep . . .

What I need to know is if Sexy has rejoined. He hasn't made any posts since I updated the post count several days ago, so no answer from him yet.

[n3wt]

Woop my choice is coming soon :D I better get thinking :laugh:

[Caitlyn]

Pretty sure Sexy is playing when he's here... which, sadly, doesn't seem to be everyday anymore...

[Miss Vicky]

Honeykid's up again soon? Ha. What's he gonna do, "Drew Barrymore Part 2"?

[n3wt]

[Ðèstîñy]

The question is . . . Can he be as creative as he was the first time around? I liked the Charlie's Angels theme. It went over very well, too. If he's already had 2 themes, which I believe he has, then I can't recall what the other theme was.

[Miss Vicky]

Charlie's Angels was his second theme. The first one was Drew Barrymore.

[Ðèstîñy]

Then he's getting better with each turn.

Can you do even better the next time around?

The pressure's on. ;)

[Iroquois]

Okay, so when do I have to pick a new theme by again?

[Caitlyn]

You're in Aussie land so it's already tomorrow for you... if you want to go ahead and post it, go for it...

[Iroquois]

Alright.

My pick for theme of the week is...

Movies You Hate

Expanding on my last choice, this time you pick a movie that, for whatever reason, you dislike with a passion. It could be a terrible piece of filmmaking, it could be something that offends you personally - anything like that. If you don't like it, pick it.

[Iroquois]

Anyway, my current choice is Knocked Up. One of the biggest comedic black holes to never feature Will Ferrell.

http://katiehann.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/knocked_up.jpg

[Ðèstîñy]

Yep, whoever is up, they post their theme choice on their Saturday/Sunday.
Funny enough, I just had this same theme idea a very few hours ago.

I'll pick something very soon. I'm watching a movie with my son right now. I like showing my children all my favorite movies and TV shows from the 80's and such.

[Miss Vicky]

Nice theme.

My choice may seem a bit obvious, but I have suffered through two of the three movies and will never understand their popularity.

http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walteregan/MoFoPics/twilight_big.jpg

[Cries&Whispers]

Episode I: The Phantom Menace sucked. Jar Jar Binks sucked. The kid who played Anakin sucked. Pod-racing didn't suck so much.

http://www.icanhasforce.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/star-wars-jar-jar-binks.jpg

[The Next Big Thing]

http://johnkennethmuir.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/halloween_cover.jpg

The most overrated piece of garbage cinema ive ever had to endure.

Classic cotton wool syndrome is back.

[mark f]

http://www.slantmagazine.com/images/film/inpraiseoflove.jpg
In Praise of Love (Jean-Luc Godard, 2001)

Of all the godawful, pretentious and completely behind-the-times films which Godard has made, this is the most-godawful. At least I tried to post something visual from the trippy section.

Arguably the Crappiest, money grabben travesty in cenematic history.

From Paul Newman in the original to Stephen flippen Baldin...blechhh!!

[nebbit]

Ok my first one :yup: really didn't like this movie :nope:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rZs2dB5wxVs/SxD_sHPhWjI/AAAAAAAAJT0/8Y7VVkYmYcw/s1600/1.jpg

[honeykid]

Iro, this is a horrible, horrible theme. :D

TBH, I've cheated slightly, just because I couldn't bring myself to look at the smug racist all week (I really do hate him), but this is my most hated film so, in the spirit of the game, I went ahead and picked an avatar from it. From Drew to this, the world's an imperfect place.

http://images.starpulse.com/Photos/Previews/Braveheart-movie-04.jpg
The hero of the piece, as far as I'm concerned. I was cheering for him all the way. :D

[nebbit]

Awww poor Honey :laugh:

[n3wt]

Alright.

My pick for theme of the week is...

Movies You Hate

Fantastic theme choice mate :D

Here is my first pic :) I hate Will Ferrel and I really cannot stand Old School I dont see anything remotely funny about it :facepalm:

http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/16035__oldschool_l.jpg

[Thursday Next]

Ok, difficult theme since you have to have a hated film as your avatar all week...

Going with Closer. It may have been critically praised but I thought it was dull, stagey, unpleasant navel-gazing garbage. So there. :p

http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/images/w-film-closer12022004195532.jpg

[Caitlyn]

I might be able to change out everyday... :p Using one from Fast and Furious first though...

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd188/janiceholmes/movies/fastandthefurious.jpg

[Ðèstîñy]

I couldn't stand my last avatar. Since Harry is also in that pile of crap movie, I'll use him instead.

http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/MoFo-Bucket/harry-connick-jr.jpg
http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/MoFo-Bucket/harry-1.jpg
http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/MoFo-Bucket/HarryConnickJr.jpg

[Caitlyn]

Harry's been in a couple of stinker films... I think he's a pretty good actor though... and a great guy in real life...

[Iroquois]

I am truly a magnificient bastard.

[Yoda]

I gotta admit, it's a pretty brilliant theme.

[Iroquois]

It's pretty amusing to watch people's attempts to adhere to the theme in the most marginal ways like picking characters/actors they hate the least. Hell, one guy didn't even change his avatar. Think Des may be breaking the theme, though - I have to wonder exactly what she has against Bug that means she won't even use an avatar based on the movie.

[nebbit]

OK second choice i hate this movie :yup: don't hate me people :eek:

http://i43.tower.com/images/mm106994155/happy-gilmore-adam-sandler-dvd-cover-art.jpg

[mark f]

Even if it takes several months now, maybe my next theme should be "Movies Which You Really Hate But are Embarrassed to Mention". That should qualify as a different theme, shouldn't it?

You must have missed the part where quite a few people would lay out of mine and other's themes. I finally became so tired of trying to pretend there were rules to follow, that I told everyone there weren't any rules. Not anymore. I held true to each and every theme, no matter what it was, but I became very tired of trying to get everyone else to. Now that there aren't any rules, I sure don't want my lacking in the game to be pointed out.

p.s. I don't have the DVD. Understandable so. However, if you can find a picture of Harry that is actually from the movie, then fine . . . I'll use that.

I couldn't participate in such a theme. I'm not embarrassed to mention any of my most hated movies. :p

[mark f]

I'm just thinking out loud here, but do you want people to challenge and debate you over at the "Most Overrated Films" thread or are you more comfortable just expressing your opinions without others' detailed comments?

That's only fair. Don't think I'll bother with the picture-finding either.

I cannot stand these rubbish spoof movies so im having another change here ;) Its a terrible "Mystique" spoof by Carmen Electra.


http://www.themakeupgallery.info/images/fantasy/mutants/epic2.jpg

[Ðèstîñy]

That should have been "Understandably so!".

That's only fair. Don't think I'll bother with the picture-finding either.

It can be entertaining. harry connick jr bug =
http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/MoFo-Bucket/hconnick.jpg

I "wanted" to use A Return to Salem's Lot. I rented that about 20 years ago . . . the days of VHS . . . and it was the movie that made me decide to never rent movies again. That it wasn't worth the money. That's hate. There's a big difference from hate and repulsed by. I can't stomach Bug. I thought it was completely different than what it was. That movie is f@cked up.

Anyway, I can only find one picture that I know is A Return to Salem's Lot. It sure is pink.

http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/MoFo-Bucket/ppvd5ift69tnb0332u0j.jpg

I don't think I own a movie that I truly hate. If I did, then I could make a freakin' avatar like I normally do.
Trust me son, I'm not trying to be mean. I've joined in with everyone's theme, if I've been here to do so.
I'll look through my movies in a bit.

That sure is pink.

-------------

I hate this movie.

Not Another Teen Movie (2001)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N8S12N56L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

[Thursday Next]

Ok, I don't usually change midweek (and it's only Monday), but:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K2YMlxQJXcA/SxQW-AdjcOI/AAAAAAAAAYM/77TWfUZO43E/s1600/18364904.jpg

Tagline: Everything that has a beginning has an end.

One case where you wish, actually, they hadn't bothered with an end. Equally appropriate tagline could have been: Every good film franchise is inevitably ruined by the bloated second sequel.

I really, really hated this film.

[n3wt]

Im loving this theme im wanting another change already :)

[nebbit]

Nebbit... did you actually watch that thing??? If so, you have more nerve than I do... :p
There's not many movies that I can't sit all the way through but this is one of them :eek:

[n3wt]

Im loving this theme im wanting another change already :)
Here it is, if im honust I liked Scary Movie 1 and to an extent the Scary Movie 2 but come on 3 was just terrible so my next avatar choice is Pam Anderson in Scary Movie 3 :facepalm:

crafty. getten pam anderson as an avitar good sir. You just know Honeykid is wrestling with having to admit Drew has been in some stink-o-rama's m so as to justify haven her in his Av.

There's been a few stinkers, (she's made films with Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler, y'know) but hate is on a whole different level, for me. :D I think I'd rather suffer every Adam Sandler film than watch Braveheart again.

[Caitlyn]

Aren't there anymore films you disliked?

[Miss Vicky]

Of course there are, but I haven't settled on a new avatar.

[DexterRiley]

This is a fine theme as it allows me to express a few different sub-categories of movies that i hate.

1. shatty inferior drek that capitalises on the name recognition of the title , and dares call itself a sequel, as if they are remotely related.
example used: Slapshot 2

2. Big name talent in a film that could have just as easily starred Wings Hauser and Marc Singer (or any other number of B-movie grade thespians), and gone straight to video.

example: Righteous Kill

3.Movies based on popular novels that stray greatly from the source for no apparent reason.

Now, I understand literature and film are two completely different mediums, and as such there is bound to be discrepancies between the two. I also begrudgingly accept the reality of financing 1st novel adaptations, so I understood that Morgan Freeman as the lead in Kiss The Girls was an OK choice, as the movie worked as a stand alone entity.

However, when it came to adapting Along Came a Spider, which in the novels by James Patterson provided a wonderful foil for our hero Alex Cross....to
Kill off Gary Sonji in the climax, thus eliminating a good number of worthy sequel novels..well i just hate it. hate i say. HATE IT. especially with the tag line "the game is far from over"

At least you weren't neg repped for hating the movie you chose. Especially by someone who doesn't even play this game, or join in with the discussion. I believe he should still have to explain himself. Shouldn't he, rauldc14?

[honeykid]

As he doesn't play or anything, do you think you were neg repped for hating it or liking it?

[Ðèstîñy]

I wrote that I hated it on the post.

[Caitlyn]

I've never understood why someone would negative rep someone else just because they like or dislike a movie... If I did stuff like that, I'd be after Honey all the time for trashing Braveheart... :p

[Ðèstîñy]

It's pretty pathetic. Especially when they can't even say anything. They just hit the thumb and run.

[DexterRiley]

I have been on other forums where if you want to leave a negative rep, theres space to explain why.

Though not a fan of the neg rep..honeykids choice of Braveheart as a hate film..has my trigger finger itchin.






























j/k HK

[honeykid]

lol... Sorry guys. If it helps, it's not just the film itself that I hate (though I really did) but everything that went on around it over here and then to win awards on top of that? :nope:

[Caitlyn]

I think we should have a Braveheart discussion... in another thread, of course...

[Ðèstîñy]

I have been on other forums where if you want to leave a negative rep, theres space to explain why.

Yep, and he could have here, too. The post comment section. I think all rep, good or bad, should have to have a reply of some sort.

[Thursday Next]

I hate Braveheart too (sorry Caitlyn!)

[Juno MacGuff]

I haven't really ever watched the entire Braveheart film, but I am always up to learning more about a film even if I don't like it.

Nope, no neg rep for picking Twilight.

Actually the only neg rep I've ever received was for saying something along the lines of "Tom Cruise isn't that great of an actor." LOL.

Actually the only neg rep I've ever received was for saying something along the lines of "Tom Cruise isn't that great of an actor." LOL.

He's a loony, too. :p

[Iroquois]

Loony actors would actually make a pretty good theme, now that I think of it.

[Ðèstîñy]

True. A few are coming to mind right away.

[Miss Vicky]

Loony actor theme? Hmm... Well at least it'd give me an excuse to use a Joaquin Phoenix avatar.

[n3wt]

Ive already chosen my theme for Saturday :yup: Hope y'all like it :D

Always happy to see Kate. Especially a red headed Kate. ;)

Ah! My little toe!

Haha

[genesis_pig]

I hate Prince of Persia, I hate it so much I wont partipate this weeks theme.
I would hate to use it as my avatar.

[nebbit]

I will be away for 2 days so I am going to use an old favourite till I come back. :yup:

[Juno MacGuff]

Wait..... I think I missed something. What is the theme of the week?

[honeykid]

Movies you hate. :laugh:

[Caitlyn]

You guys probably all know I don't hate Sarah... I just normally change back to one of my regulars right before the new theme starts...


Curious to see what HK comes up with... I have a couple of Drew ones picked out... just in case... :D

[Ðèstîñy]

Newt's next.

[Caitlyn]

So he is... I need a nap... :D

[Juno MacGuff]

Movies you hate. :laugh:Well I missed this one obviously.

[Miss Vicky]

The theme changes every weekend, so if you wish to participate in the themes, you should make a habit of checking this thread every Saturday.

[honeykid]

Curious to see what HK comes up with... I have a couple of Drew ones picked out... just in case... :D

I chose Drew first time around, so I can't pick her again... Can I? ;):D

[genesis_pig]

You can use "Photoshop Drew in your Favourite Poster" theme.

[honeykid]

Not really a movie related theme though, IMO. Plus, I can't photoshop for ****. :D

[Juno MacGuff]

How about Favorite Character from the movie Whip It. :)

[honeykid]

Possible, but too narrow. You really need to have something rather general or specific, but with lots of choices.

[Juno MacGuff]

I wanted to start looking for my Babe Ruthless picture. :)

[Ðèstîñy]

How about "My Favorite Blonde"?

[Juno MacGuff]

How about "My Favorite Blonde"?That is a good one, but not for Ellen Page. You could also do one one Favorite Bald Headed Characters. Did Drew have a film where she shaved her head?

[genesis_pig]

I like the blonde one...

Few others where you could use Drew:
Remakes (Charlie's angels)
Child Star
Fairy Tale Adaptations
Back to school
Movies about memory

[Juno MacGuff]

Also movies about fire(Fire Starter)

[Miss Vicky]

Somebody needs to come up with a theme where I can use Joaquin Phoenix. :(

Loony Actors would work. Child Stars (if you use the term "star" loosely) would work. Back to School might work depending on how you define it. Movies About Fire would work.

Favorite Blondes does not. Neither does Bald Headed Characters.

[honeykid]

Well, we're just going to have to wait and see what N3wt comes up with. You never know, you might be able to us the people you want.

[Juno MacGuff]

Well, we're just going to have to wait and see what N3wt comes up with. You never know, you might be able to us the people you want.Does he make his decision tomorrow?

[Ðèstîñy]

Yep, and he's on super early, for our timezone.

[genesis_pig]

What about actors who have tried another profession. Phoenix would fit with his Rap gig.

Yep that would be nice.... also Sportsmen or musicians who have turned actors.

[n3wt]

Hi Guys sorry im a tad late getting online been mega busy this morning, but here is my choice for this weeks theme... Drum Roll Please...

Films that have made you cry with laughter,

So thinking back through the vast amount of comedy films I have seen there are so many that have made laugh so hard I have had tears running down my face. Maybe its not just the film it could just be one charactor from a film/films. Any way I hope you all enjoy the theme and im looking forward to seeing some great avatar choices :yup::up:

EDIT: If you havent seen a film that has brought you to tears, you could choose a film that you thought was hilarious.

Here is my first choice :cool:

Naked Gun

http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/naked-gun_l.jpg

[Iroquois]

And if you haven't seen a movie that made you laugh so hard you cried?

Seriously.

[n3wt]

And if you haven't seen a movie that made you laugh so hard you cried?

Seriously.
Then maybe you could choose a film that you have found hilarious :rolleyes:

Have you never seen a film that made you cry with laughter?

Seriously.

[Caitlyn]

I don't think everyone would want to look at the toilet scene (yes I have a wrapped sense of humor) or the "nasty shot" scene from Trainspotting.... so... I'm going with Beatrice and Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing....


http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u159/sweetpea_nes/foulwordsarebutfoulbreath.jpg

[n3wt]

Nice choice Cait :up:

[Juno MacGuff]

Have to go with Forgetting Sara Marshall. There are so many scenes in this film that left me cracking up laughing.

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii316/misshope48/HOLLYWOOD/forgettingsarahmarshall_poster.jpg

[DexterRiley]

Ist Movie i can remember laughen my Ass off to the point of salty discharge streaming down my cheeks, is Eddie Murphy's Concert tape Delirious.

http://thecia.com.au/reviews/e/images/eddie-murphy-delirious-poster-0.jpg

From the opening Mr T, through the campfire with auntie bigfoot, ice cream.Elvis ..theres so much funny contained here its awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2EIra4SYoE

[Miss Vicky]

I don't think any movie has ever had me actually crying from laughter (or else my sleep deprived mind is just unable to recall any), so I'll just go with my favorite comedy.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa271/valtelina/lebowski.jpg

[n3wt]

Great choices guys :up:

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m295/dexterriley_2006/Picture1.jpg

[honeykid]

Apart from stand up features, one of the very few films that's ever made me cry with laughter (and it only gets funnier with repeated viewings)

http://customerservicevoodoo.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/tap.jpg
This Is Spinal Tap

[DexterRiley]

nice call HK. the stonhenge segment gets me every time.

[mark f]

Under normal circumstabces I would have to go with Richard Pryor Live in Concert, but I've used that recently, so I'll take this one instead.

I didnt think of that :laugh:

[Thursday Next]

Now I think Life of Brian is a better film, but I found Holy Grail more laugh-til-you-cry funny, especially the first time I saw it. But since I used Holy Grail quite recently for the Medieval theme, I'm going to kick off with Life of Brian this week...

http://finisimapersona.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/snf0311ll_682_413122a.jpg

[Ðèstîñy]

Laugh until I can't breathe works better for me. How about a "Laugh until your bodily functions don't function properly" theme? Maybe someone here has peed themselves laughing so hard. Anyway, since The Naked Gun has been called, I'll name Airplane, and make a better avatar when I return.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TV863B5ML._SL500_AA300_.jpg

[TheUsualSuspect]

http://www.erickagoodwin.com/storage/apatow-40-year-old-virgin.jpg

[n3wt]

Great choices guys, Life of Brian is another film that has made me laugh till I had tears coming down my face. Dest great choice :yup: I was going to chose Airplane its so damn funny.

I think I may end up having a new avatar everyday :laugh::yup::laugh:

[Sexy Celebrity]

http://img4.ifilmpro.com/resize/image/stills/films/resize/istd/2677559.jpg

Nobody will understand, but, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.


My avatar is one of Deuce's dates, who has a throat hole.

[mark f]

A woman with a throat hole? Shocking! Yeah, I know... (or maybe not).

[Iroquois]

Finally settled on a good contender with (surprise, surprise) The Blues Brothers - the scene with the Penguin beating the brothers with a ruler has left me gasping for air on at least one occasion.

[mark f]

Yeah, that whole "Mission from God" bit is just about priceless.

This may not be worthy but it's historical.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kbPbsoXfHE

[Sexy Celebrity]

Squeeze for yourself!

[n3wt]

Nuns on the Run is a hilarious comedy and there are quite a few times ive been in tears laughing at Robbie Coultrane and Eric Idle. I definatly think im going to end up having a new avatar everyday :laugh:

http://www.lovingit.co.uk/images/2009-07_nuns-on-the-run.jpg

[n3wt]

Mall Rats is a fantastic comedy and there is a scene that always gets me, when Willam is trying to see the sail boat hidden in the magic eye picture. When the little girl says,

Little Girl (http://www.movieforums.com/name/nm0296847/): [looking at a Magic Eye poster] Wow. It's a schooner.
Willam Black (http://www.movieforums.com/name/nm0839486/): Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a Sailboat.
Little Boy (http://www.movieforums.com/name/nm0468356/): A schooner IS a sailboat stupid head!
Willam Black (http://www.movieforums.com/name/nm0839486/): [becoming enraged] You know what? There is NO Easter Bunny! Over there, that's just a guy in a suit!

Gets me everytime :laugh:

[honeykid]

OK, it's my week. I had a few ideas for a theme but, as I know it's going to please, at least, a couple of you, I'm going with...

CHILD STARS

As they are now or as they were then, it doesn't matter so long as they were famous before the age of 16.

I know what you're thinking. Who the hell is HK going to pick? Well, it may come as some surprise to you that I'm going for...

http://entertainment.wagerweb.com/wp-content/uploads/wpf_drew%20barrymore%20001.jpg
Drew Barrymore

I know, you're shocked, aren't you? ;)

[sarah f]

Bobby Driscoll

I'll change though and go with Natalie Portman instead...

EDIT: Finally had a few minutes to find another picture of her from Léon...

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/Caitgee/Movies/cap066-1.jpg

Leonardo DiCaprio

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/Renoir11/Movie%20Stills/leonardo-dicaprio.jpg?t=1279933851

He wasn't really famous before he was sixteen, but he was working. Besides, he got famous right after that.

Well I suppose you all would have guessed my choice. She started her career at the age of 10. Ellen Page

http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz132/cinemaflix/ellen-1.jpg

[Miss Vicky]

I'm sure this will come as no surprise but here is my choice:

http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walteregan/MoFoAvs/tigerbeatleaf.jpg

Back when he was known as "Leaf"


http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walteregan/MoFoAvs/joaquin-phoenix-269151.jpeg

And more recent. I think I'll be changing my avatar every day for this one. :D

[honeykid]

Loving the picks so far. :highfive:

A few pics for me and Juno, though I'm sure there are other who'll enjoy them.

Kevin Bacon is actually 22 in that film, and he started his acting career in Animal House, at the age of 20.
Honeykid wants them to be famous before the age of 16.

[Caitlyn]

Kevin's one of the lucky ones isn't he.... always looks younger than he really is....

[Sexy Celebrity]

For some reason, when you say "child star", I don't think of Kevin Bacon getting murdered in Friday the 13th.

P.S. I chose Macaulay Culkin.

[eMilee]

execellent theme idea there, HK!!! i am shocked it was not something all drew!!!

my first choice for the week.. Baby Peggy

Yeah, sorry n3wt, but you can't really call a 22 year old a child can you? Mental age, maybe, but not physical age. :D

You know what the man says, n3wt, "Rules is rules, mate."

I picked Kiefer Sutherland, who barely makes the cut. :)

[Classicqueen13]

All right, there was a little problem with my pick. Kiefer was 17 in his first film appearance. My little sister said 16. No big deal. I'll just chose another.

I figured HK would prefer I picked them over Shortie from Temple of Doom. Loved their movies when I was a kid.

Hey, you pick whatever you want that fits the theme, CQ. If it was up to me, I'd pick Drew Barrymore each and every time it was my turn to pick a theme. :D

[Juno MacGuff]

Chunk from The Goonies.

http://www.flaab.com/flabble_images/blog_images/truffle%20shuffle.jpg I loved Chunk when I was little and first watched the goonies when I was about 7 or 8. What ever happened to him?

[Ðèstîñy]

Fiscal and journeyowns, I'm adding the both of you to the theme list. I'm up next, and already have my theme picked out. It should go over decent enough. 7thson will jump in later on when he has more time.

Wait, so what's the theme now?

[Ðèstîñy]

I would assume so.

Child stars, and make sure that they became a star before the age of 16. I think I have that right.
I'm letting everyone know that 7thson isn't joining in with his theme choice for a bit. However, when he wants to, he gets to jump back in right away.

[Miss Vicky]

The theme is still child stars. The new theme doesn't start until Saturday (that is, Saturday for the time zone of whoever is up next).

[Juno MacGuff]

I would assume so.

He's probably confused over how you guys decide who goes, and in what order, and what the criteria are for choosing themes, like I am.

EDIT: That's what I thought

[Miss Vicky]

The order is determined more or less by post count. If you are participating, Destiny will add you to the list. The more you post, the higher up on the list you will go and the sooner you will get to choose your theme.

When it is your turn, you can decide on a theme. Any theme that is broad enough for everyone to participate is acceptable, though it is asked that you not use any theme that has already been chosen.

This week's theme (Child Stars) was chosen by honeykid.

I loved Chunk when I was little and first watched the goonies when I was about 7 or 8. What ever happened to him?


according to the extras on The Goonies, Jeff Cohen is a entertainment lawyer!!! can't you see him in court doing the Truffle Shuffle??? hahahaha

I thought I would have a Morbo avatar just for the time being :D

[Juno MacGuff]

Can't wait for the new theme so I can use another Ellen avatar. :)

[Caitlyn]

I was getting attached to my Labyrinth avatar... but had to go back to being "me" for a little while before the next round... :)

[Ðèstîñy]

Can't wait for the new theme so I can use another Ellen avatar. :)

I really can't swear anything about her, because I've not seen much of anything she's ever been in. I couldn't say anything back when you asked, because I didn't want to say anything to give my theme away well before it was time. We shall see.

Courtroom Movies

Judges, juries, lawyers, defendants, victims, etc . . . Anything legal, minus police officers and private investigators. We've already used those two.

I want to use at least 5 movies this week, but I doubt I'll have the time. I'll start with . . .

Reversal of Fortune (1990)

Glenn Close, Jeremy Irons, Ron Silver, Annabella Sciorra . . .

Can The Trial be considered a courtroom film. I have a feling it's not, but thought I'd ask anyway.

[Ðèstîñy]

If this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trial_(1962_film)) reads accurately, and they did have a bit scene in a courtroom, then yes, I'll let it count. I won't be too picky about how much time is actually spent in a courtroom. My movie is a perfect example of that.

[genesis_pig]

I'll go with The Firm for the time being.

I wanted to pick Sleepers, but couldn't find a decent pic that would look good as an Avatar.
