The Movie Thread

[Spevna]

Seriously though, I really do wonder of Norris realises that he is one big joke.

According to his IMDB entry, he has read the lines about him and responded on a few of them.

A website known as "Chuck Norris Facts" has been created as a parody of his career. Chuck is not offended by the website, in fact, has said he feels honored to have a website named after him and says he laughs when he reads the facts.

Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live." It's funny. It's cute. But here's what I really think about the theory of evolution: It's not real. It is not the way we got here. In fact, the life you see on this planet is really just a list of creatures God has allowed to live. We are not creations of random chance. We are not accidents. There is a God, a Creator, who made you and me. We were made in His image, which separates us from all other creatures.

Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "Faster than a speeding bullet ... more powerful than a locomotive ... able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... yes, these are some of Chuck Norris' warm-up exercises." I've got a bulletin for you, folks. I am no superman. I realize that now, but I didn't always. As six-time world karate champion and then a movie star, I put too much trust in who I was, what I could do and what I acquired. I forgot how much I needed others and especially God. Whether we are famous or not, we all need God. We also need other people.

Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer. Too bad he never cries. Ever." There was a man whose tears could cure cancer or any other disease, including the real cause of all diseases - sin. His blood did. His name was Jesus, not Chuck Norris. If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris' tears, it's Jesus' blood.

Out of all the Chuck Norris facts, his personal favorite is 'Before the Boogie Man goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.'

It makes me sad that he has to take something meant as a joke and make a religious point with it.

*shrug* just cos theres some bloke out there who,shall we say "spawned" The Myth That Is Chuck Norris doesnt mean he is the Myth himself. We all need to separate facts from fantasy, and then do our best to ignore the facts

Just out of interest I'm thinking of doing a film day next year in Tsu. If I were to get a projector what films would you like to watch at a film festival. Leftfield is good and cult but of course but mainstream would be welcome too.

Good film there Ash mate but...

...Spoiler alert...

But the ending is such a downer, donchafink? They get killed by a bunch of Rednecks!

Highlight the empty space above.

Prometheus, which is "not an aliens prequel but set in the same universe" apparently. And directed by Ridley Scott.

The Hobbit, this movie and Batman are all definitely films I want to see next year.

[Tenorikuma]

Me too. Heck, I think the original Alien is a cinematic masterpiece.

Save your money and borrow the DVD. It wasn't worth the price of entry, or two hours out my life.
