If you can't talk to your wife about women who are paid to look good on screen then maybe that says more about your marriage than mine

You need to put more work in desensitising here to some of your more abhorrent personality traits I suspect. 
Kari Wurher was the highlight of the cheesefest that was anaconda

Jack The Giant Slayer. I enjoyed this a lot actually. The CGI wasn't top notch but Nick Hoult and Ewan MacGregor are talent

I trust you are talking about something else, as I really don't know what is "abhorrent" about admiring a good looking woman in a movie or on TV.

I was directing that and MN5 and it depends how he's doing it I guess. Sitting on the couch in favorite onesie hugging a cushion and mouthing the words "help me" whenever Angelina Jolie comes on screen would probably be crossing a line with most women for example.

While waiting for the Taipans game last night I flicked through the usual B-grade Friday night movie fare and ended up watching "Eight Legged Freaks". It's so awesomely bad I enjoyed it. at least they knew they were making a b movie and didn't take anything seriously. Spiders are gross. 
Noticed the main chick was pretty hot, but didn't really remember seeing her in anything else. Her IMDB page is littered with b movie badness (and more than a few spider movies) and a quick Google search showed she has no hang ups about getting her kit off. Good girl.</blockquote>
 
She got her kit off heaps in the 90s. She was a VJ on MTV once upon a time and she was all kinds of ridiculously hot. Again as with Rachel Weisz get your favourite clean up receptical ready, dim the lights, put on some of that metal shit you like and have at it Hoss. Google is your friend.

Thank you, how could I forget that?. There was a scene in U-turn that was early enough in her career to dispense with a see through top.

my wife knows who the competition is...

Sleeping Dogs - 1977 film starring Sam Neill. NZ becomes a police state and Sam Neill's character is a reluctant freedom fighter. I've probably seen it before but it was interesting to watch if only for the bizarre Kiwi accents back then and that the NZ military stars in it as the bad guys.

I also like it for the fact that Ian Mune can't act. It's like he's some bloke they've pulled off the street and asked him to do the movie. You can see that Sam Neil is going somewhere though. Rawiri Paratene also has a role as a young soldier IIRC.
 
It would be good if someone made an update with actual production values.
 
I watched About Time last night, the latest rom com by Richard Curtis. Disclaimer - I only watched it because the extremely hot chick from Wolf of Wall Street was in it. Unfortunately she wasn't in it much. But, I quite enjoyed the movie TBH. The main character has the ability to time travel backwards within his life time ... but if he has children and travels back before their birth he'll mess with the timeline (another sperm may win the race and the kids may be different). Jegga - Rachel McAdams is in it and she is her usual loveable self but fortunately (for me) and unfortunately (for you) she doesn't reveal her pale breasts. M4L - zero breasts, sorry.

White House down. Mindless fun. Some of the inaccuracies in the military stuff gave me the shits. But whatever, I enjoyed it Though it was basically Die Hard.

Do not watch Olympus Has Fallen ... it makes White House Down look it's footage from an embedded cameraman.

jegga

It's weird that you see these movies come out at the same time with basically the same story. 
White House down had a few laughs in places but Olympus has fallen was a bit disappointing on a number of counts.

I won't be watching anything that had the stench of Richard Curtis on it anytime soon I hope. Sounds like the time travellers wife would be a better bet . 
I saw seven psychopaths the other night and enjoyed it, Sam Rockwell really is the man when it comes to playing unhinged characters.

Bad GRanpa - pretty much what I expected, cringe-induced laughs.

No way - that is an awful excuse for a story and is really a bit troubling. Why the hatred of Richard Curtis? Is he a commie? ;)
