You could argue that Natalie Portman was famous years before that movie. She co-starred in Leon- The Professional. Great movie, too.


The Professional came out in October or November of 94...

Yeah she was totally famous...I think her parents did a good job (better than Drew Barrymore's parents) of keeping her out of the spot light at that age.

EDIT: Apparently Leon and Developing came out in the same year.

Leon killed him.

You know that empty feeling you get sometimes when you finish something good, like a favourite book or a fantastic tv series?

Leon was one of the only films that I got that real empty feeling with at the end on the first watch.

Leon was fucking brilliant. If Siskel was so smart, why is he dead?

Hah, score 1 for me.

This whole movie had a thread of sexual tension between the two. At least, that's what I thought about it

remember that age? when emotions could become like a thunderstorm?


No. I'm still waiting on puberty...my beard is a clip-on

totally agree but with the directors cut we get to see so much more and many things that were only implied before are given voice.
1.matilda is 12.remember that age? when emotions could become like a thunderstorm?imagine living in that fucked up..unloving family.no safety..no comfort and all you have is your 4 yr old brother whom you take care of.
2.leon is the adult and in the 1994 release we see him respecting boundaries but he seems a bit..off..in the original.THIS scene in particular clears all of that up.we see that leon shut down a part of himself at 19.THAT part of him never grew up nor matured in any substantive way.

so while matilda has found her knight in shining armor to bestow all that pre-pubescent hormones onto,we find out the leon is around the same age emotionally.
it is due to this very unique situation that we get to see leon literally morph in front of us.
kinda like the grinch but with guns,blood and screaming.
i would go as far to say that the character arc for leon is the most profound i have ever seen from any movie.

You didn't like Leon - so you get Battle : Los Angeles I loved Leon - it's a great movie - I thought Oldman was great in it. Oh well, I'm going to watch it again now...

thanks man!

Happy Birthday, Kenneth.
Great offering joedirt-If those here who fancy themselves informed or knowledgeable of the entire process of those who wield the real power of government and who control the contrived and fundamentally fucked economic system in the US and the world which, in effect, keeps everyone butt-fucking apathetic and enslaved would demand answers to some simple questions, well, the emperor wears no clothes doesn't quite begin to cover it.

Elections are shit, because the people who vote for the most part in the US, are fucking ill-informed idiots who watch too much fucking television, eat shit disguised as food, and raise their children to be optimistic, dutiful putties.

Here's to Gaetano Bresci, Leon Czolgosz, and anyone else who decided that something radical must be done to affect radical change.

Nicely done on creating a dubstep playlist! Here's another one

  • b. Such stories considered as a group: the realm of myth.
