Posted this because of the comments of a Chavez detractor on YT-All the fans of Hugo and the woman had to live under his bullshit, corrupt regime-Using logic and reality, she could still not convince the armchair fans.

bareboards2, your arguments all, may be condensed into one barrel of the same bilge.
Inflammatory rhetoric tinctured with convenient appeals to some idyllic world where assholes don't exist.

How bout some wake-up news from June of this year?? Hugo (Penn's best buddy) Chavez, cocksucking "president" of Venezuela, did what all great "leaders" do when they want no dissent and a country full of obedient and easy-to-control automatons:
-Outlawed all private ownership of guns, except of course for the military, the police, and certain private security monkeys. Their judicial system is total shiet, do some reading-up on how completely fucked it really is-

He's been in office since 99', "elected" once again by "popular" vote (give me a break), and if cancer doesn't kill him he'll probably die in office.

Guns are not the problem, society in decline, culture in decline, morality, ethics out windows, retarded ego-maniacal control-freak paranoids asshole douchebags in power..THIS is a much more pressing problem that mentally-retarded idgits raised by the developmentally-disabled twisting-off and going on killing sprees. If this recent shit happened in Inglewood or South-Centra-LA, there would not be a national uproar. It happened in a hamlet in Connecticut and the kid was living in his out-to-lunch, survivalist mother's home that was loaded with a massive collection of guns.

Didn't some Chinese guy twist \-off a few months ago and walk into a school and kill about 30 kids....WITH A FUCKING KNIFE!!?? Crazy fucks are the problem sir, firearms in their hands simply let's them reach-out and touch someone else with crazy. SO, keep guns in the hands of citizens with judgement and restraint and sound minds...Or go live in some shit-hole where only cops, soldiers, and officers of the King have weapons...How about Vatican City?? Bet that place is safe enough for ya??

Sorry Maynard, keeping my guns until I expatriate to a country without retarded fuckers being bred like tadpoles!

I thought the following factoid was cool as shit~

"Bill Finger and I created the Joker. Bill was the writer. Jerry Robinson came to me with a playing card of the Joker. That's the way I sum it up. [The Joker] looks like Conrad Veidt — you know, the actor in The Man Who Laughs, [the 1928 movie based on the novel] by Victor Hugo. [...] Bill Finger had a book with a photograph of Conrad Veidt and showed it to me and said, 'Here's the Joker'. Jerry Robinson had absolutely nothing to do with it, but he'll always say he created it till he dies. He brought in a playing card, which we used for a couple of issues for him [the Joker] to use as his playing card" ~ Bob Kane Interviewed by Frank Lovece for Entertainment Weekly, 1994. Perkowski grabbed the footage from that very flick to create his joker character for this nod to the caped crusader.

Better than Batman Returns and Forever combined iffn ya axe me!

agreed, Foster would play her good, looks similar from that view

Hugo Weaving could play Abbott

Can't think of any actual real arguments so you go for the tried and true scare mongering eh?

I still need to see this movie.

It's a movie that won't disappoint, so make sure you do see it! Defiantly, one of Martin Scorsese's great films and that is saying something.
The "magic" tag helps define the feeling your left with after seeing this film so its use is well used here, for many reasons well deserved and earned...


Personally, I found it to be HUGELY overrated. I really came away from it going 'meh, it was ok'.

* I really disliked the forced colour palette of teal and orange
* I disliked that it was set in France, and yet everyone spoke English
* I found the story just basic fare, with just the fact that it was saying how life changing and wondrous film was being the thing which probably made those in the industry think it was the best thing in the world because it made their profession seem more important than it was.
* I found the humour (especially that of Sasha Baron Cohen's character) to be pretty low level slapstick.

I didn't hate it, but it's not a film I would chose to watch again. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if it weren't so hyped as being the second coming of christ.

For some reason, the animated trailer (didn't know it had non-animated parts either) didn't excite me but then I saw its reviews and high ratings.

Your video, Making Of: A Long Steadicam Shot in Hugo, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

And Ali G and Borat. You can't prank that many people and have someone accuse you of being talentless, whether you appreciate his work or not.


And of course, don't forget hit standout performance in Talladega Nights.
