Seen any good movies lately?

I was looking forward to Dorain. They made a film of it way back in 1945. It was good for it's day but could use an updating. Now I am seeing that early reviews ar not good. Not terrible, but they say it is boring. I'll probably see it anyway. I love that Dorian Gray guy. I want to have a pic like that which gets old while I stay young!

You're right actually - i remember watching the earlier version of the film. It was in B&W, wasn't it? I enjoyed watching it, but I can't imagine enjoying thris modern one. Who's playing Dorian in it? He obvviously has to be some handsome dude - Is it you, Parador?

I just looked it up on IMBD and see that there was a 2004 remake that got poor reviews. The original Dorian was an actor named Hurd Hatfield. He never got very famous for anything else. Here's a little blurb about him from imdb -

Like Dorian Gray, Hurd Hatfield maintained a good, relatively youthful appearance well into his seventies. He credited this to the fact that he neither drank nor smoked and exercised regularly.

Yes - it is in B&W. The cover of the video is in color though. Yes, I have a copy that I haven't watched. I got it for $1 at a shop in Boston in the spring.

The Dorian Gray character showed up in Sean Connery's last movie - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Stuart Townsend played Dorian in that film. He made a great suoperhero. You could stab him and shoot him up with guns but it had no effect. Heck, he could fight it out with Wolverine! That would make a cool movie.

Wolverine is a FANTASTIC movie.... loved it!

For the cinematic qualities? Or just becasue you get to see Hugh Jackaman butt naked?

no lol it's not about the butt, the whole story is fantastic. Better then all the X-men movies and i really enjoyed those too.
Part of the X-men were filmed here in Ontario actually, was cool to see familiar things.

That's exactly what it is, it's how he got to who he was in X-Men, fantastic movie.

I've literally seen all new movies that have been out etc.... There are some great ones out there.

The last house on the left- or whatever that was called was a good movie too, triggering and creepy, but good.

Also there's a movie called Eden Lake- weird I didn't dislike it and I didn't love it.

Angels & Demons another FANTASTIC movie if you like Dan Brown a must see.... for sure.

Yes, I remember that - It was a rather strange movie, but I have it copied onto a CD (yes - a CD - believe it or not; major video compression involved). It would be bad for the mental health to remain forever young like him I think. It's best to fit in and go through life as everyone else does, I think.

It would probably be best to put on makeup to make yourself look older if you were Dorian I guess. But when I hit the age where I couldn't score with young hotties that would be IT!! I would have to fake my death and start life over somewhere else.

They made a couple of films in VT back in the 90s - What Lies Beneath and Me Myself and Irene. It was pretty strange to see places I know on the big screen. I wouldn't have recognized the video store though. They turned it into a camera shop for the shoot of What Lies Beneath. But they didn't put it in the film.

And I still think you want Hugh's butt!!!
