Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I've done quite a few commentaries with Sexy Celebrity and with Daniel M and Weeman in their commentary threads, so I guess it's time to create my own thread.

Here is a link to the index for all of my commentaries, including those in other threads:

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Okay... so this was Raul's idea and now he's offline. WTF.
Am currently sitting at the DVD menu, which is playing some music that's becoming rather obnoxious. Raul better get his butt in here pronto.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I'm here now, my bad

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

That's if it's not too late

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Took you long enough. Let me know when you're ready.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I'm on the main screen. Lets go.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

play pressed.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I've pressed play. Let me know if I'm too early.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

sepia toneed dreamworks logo,

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Gladiator- the Roman Empire was vast!

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

It's been awhile since I've seen this. I think I'll like it even more.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

You're a tiny bit ahead of me, just now at the text about the empire

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

There is Russell Crowe aka Maximus decimus

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I haven't seen it in awhile either. It used to be my favorite movie. I saw it five times in the theater and countless times on DVD and VHS.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I'll pause for 30 seconds then.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I love the score in this movie. It's the only soundtrack i own that isn't pop/rock music.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Won't Sexy feel betrayed by this? Did you get his approval and blessings?

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Sexy will be fine with it.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

How freaking hot does Russell Crowe look in that armor?

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I love the cinematography of the film. Especially since it was released in 2000.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

great movie, will be popping in to check out comments
ENJOY

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

On my signal, unleash hell.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Apparently this bit of forest was going to be cleared out anyway, so the filmmakers got permission to burn it down.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Site's being slow for me. Here's hoping we don't get a database error.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Can you imagine the type of film this will still be in 30 years? It's going to be a classic for sure. Thank you Ridley Scott.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

What we do in life echoes in eternity!

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Love this battle scene!!!!!

This site is starting to remind me of the Nintendo system I had as a kid. You know it will work at some point, but it's just so hard to get rid of that gray screen. Maybe if you blow on it a little.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Also best song of the score.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

This battle is badass. A guys arm literally gets chopped off. What if Crowe didn't make it out of that battle alive?

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

And a guy already on fire, gets stabbed in the back. Ouch.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

And there's mr. Phoenix

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

and Maximus is barely even scratched as he surveys the carnage

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

You're definitely ahead a little bit.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I remember when I first saw this movie thinking "That guy who plays Commodus is really talented. Too bad he's so damn creepy."

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Crowe was insanely good but the support cast was excellent, particularly Phoenix and Connie Nielson.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Should I pause again Miss Vicky?

I agree. Also Connie Nielsen is really beautiful.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

You have proved your valor yet again, Maximus.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I think you're only ahead by a minute or so

Oh heavens yes she is.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

"Rome salutes you, and I embrace you as a brother."

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

The guy Crowe hugged and the one next to him look very familiar but I can't think of their names.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Maximus the farmer. I still have difficulty imagining that.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

"Don't get too comfortable. I may call on you, before too long"

I'm terrible are remembering names of supporting cast. I'm always thinking "Hey that's that one guy from that other movie"

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

So would this movie qualify as the best non porn incest movie?

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Sadly until now, I didn't realize Marcus Aurelius is the same guy who plays English Bob in Unforgiven.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Shirtless Joaquin. Yummy

Probably.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I haven't seen Unforgiven in ages.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I vaguely remember not particularly liking it.

I did you a favor watching this movie. Next up: Naomi Watts or Rachel McAdams:)

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

People point out this scene as being a goof because Maximus says his wife has black hair, but the actress who plays her has brown hair. Actually his line was ad libbed and the actress hadn't yet been cast.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

"I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark. Rome is the light"

Anytime anybody watches this movie, they are doing themselves a favor.

Most definitely, it's in my top 100 after all.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I think the only Naomi Watts in my collection are king kong and The Ring. Mcadams I've got Wedding Crashers and State of Play. I don't care for either actress.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Marcus Aurelius has in just a few words, sealed his fate and Maximus's.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Commodus is not a moral man. You have known that since you were young. Commodus cannot rule. He MUST not rule.

You are the son that I should have had.

That's because you are a girl though:p


This film is much more quotable than I thought it was, it's just hard to keep up.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Connie is absolutely stunning in that outfit.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I've always liked the first encounter between Maximus and Lucilla.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I forgot to say I like the part where Marcus said she should have beena mana would have made a great Caesar.

There are plenty of women I'm attracted to, but neither of them are on that list.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I wish Nielsen could have gone on to do more, but she never really did.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Connie Nielsen's on the list, though.

Mows not the time perhaps, but id be interested to know who's on that list.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

The scars on Cicero's face are real. The actor got those when he was mugged at knifepoint. His attackers slashed his face up really bad.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

By the way, Crowe is probably my 2nd favorite actor, at worst 3rd.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Commodus strokes the bust of his father.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Are you ready to do you duty for Rome?

Yes father

You will not be emperor

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Crowe's my second favorite actor too.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

We are pretty synced right now.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Here comes Commodus the crybaby

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

None of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Commodus is actually one of the few movie villains that I've felt kind of sorry for. It can really screw a person up to not be loved by their parents.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I don't feel sorry for him after that. The cruel man killed him.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Your emporer asks for your loyalty, Maximus.

Take my hand. I only offer it once.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Hell of a performance by Phoenix though.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Hail Caesar.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Lucilla kisses Commodus. Hail Caesar.

Yes and the first of three Oscar nominations to leave him empty handed. The academy sucks.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Your family will meet you in the afterlife.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

At least give me a clean death. A soldier's death.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

This scene is pretty bad ass, too. If a little unrealistic since he'd cut the hell out his hands grabbing the blade like that

He will get one someday. I like him in everything except The Master and We Own theNight, though the latter not necessarily his fault.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

Love the flying sword bit.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

It's seems we like the same quotes, Miss Vicky.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

I thought his performance was fantastic in The Master. It was the movie itself that wasn't good.

Yes, mainly PTA to blame.

Re: Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries
 

This part is absolutely heart wrenching.
