Also, this movie has THE best knock knock joke ever

.

**Asher** · January 10, 2003, 23:04

I really liked the movie. It was actually enjoyable, a laid-back movie but not boring either.

Very well done.

**Bereta_Eder** · January 10, 2003, 23:07

really? it was good?

thats nice to know.

but i decided i didnt want to see this one though right from the beggining,
its just that its theme has no allure on me whatsoever.

jeses ive been a bit cut off from cinema lately

last movie i saw was a couple of weeks before
bend it like bechkam, very recommened too.

dont even know whats playing these days

**Pekka** · January 10, 2003, 23:12

What about the theme?

**Bereta_Eder** · January 10, 2003, 23:17

a guy gets on different roles and the FBI tries to catch him

i just dont find it attractive and i think i already know more or less how it will go.

or i am just immensly bored by american easy cinema any more...

if it isnt a mega producion like LOTR

i seldom go anymore to these movies.

Bend it like Bechkam was refresing!

(still not even close to other nelgish films)

also there is the man without a past which i want to see and also greek cinema seems like its starting to flourish now and there are a tones of movies from there i havent seen.

i just cant stand easy american cinema anymore so easily as i did in the past.

and catch me if you can seems to be just that
(but i can be very wrong too)

I thought Bend it like Beckham was good too. Man without a past.. I didn't like it (I did it, I went to see it). But that's ok, I can see what appeals in it, it's just not for me. The security guard in it is cool though.

Ok, catch me if you can.. well sure you're on the track, but you have to remember that this is based on a true story, which makes it more interesting (for me at least)..

SPOILERS SPOILERS WARNING!:

----

The guy for example dresses as pilot, and then just simply goes dead heading (flying free, as a pilot) all over the world, and decides to learn flying stuff, so he can chat with other pilots.. Then he decides to go work as a doctor, and he just does it! This man is like 17 years old or something.. He doesn't necessarily change his roles for avoiding FBI, he does it for kicks and fun. He gets nearly 4 million dollars cash for different kind of frauds and jobs too.. I mean you don't find it appealing if someone just goes up to let's say hospital and apply for a job, claiming to be a doctor and harvard graduate, just for fun?

**Bereta_Eder** · January 10, 2003, 23:44

Pekka, not really

mainly because i dont find it to be so extraordinary

but it IS really special that he would do those thing, but i just know that i will be bored by the WAY hollywood will choose to present them.

so its basically because of the way this theme is likely to be presented.

i just dont like... how to say it... carricature characters anymore in films....
unless the overall theme of the movie interests me in which case its ok.

barein mind i had a friend who would go out with different girls every night.
who has made love to more young girls than i could ever imagine
who would just hit on a girl waiting in a bus station and would have good chances to be sleeping with her tomorrow

and that is my childhood friend.
hell, i cant keep up with how his mind works, or his energy

now HE is exceptional and is REAL life

decaprio playing doctor to get chicks just doesnt appeal to me as something that extraordinary

also bare in mind, they say based on a real story and the movie can be something entirely different.

not that i am discparaging the movie.

it can be very good, as you say it is who saw it.
it just the theme that doesn appeal to me and the caricaturish way characters are likely to be presented in that particular theme.

**Pekka** · January 10, 2003, 23:48

You don't have to go and see it

. But you know what they say.. life is more amazing(?) than fiction.

You're friend is a lucky guy.. but that's nothing, I just had 5 chicks in my car, and one of them offered his butt for me to touch

.

**Pekka** · January 10, 2003, 23:50

I mean HER. But anyway, I could see this movie to be disappointing to someone who read the book.. I need to read it ASAP.

**Bereta_Eder** · January 10, 2003, 23:55

I just had 5 chicks in my car

yes that you did

BTW i dont think he's lucky, he's just obsessed. we have gone out a myriad of times with different girls and i would often get embarassed at the way he held himself with them, the things he said and the games he played (not insensire words, just shock shots to get their attention) but he is my childhood friend and i am his and we will always be dear friends and close. but he has drove away all of his friends with his obsession which is also his only intrest, although he is a really good person. he just has this thing.

his moto when i asked him if he doesnt care that so many girls think he's an imbecile was: athens has 5 million people (=so many girls)

anyway, real life does suprass fiction. more than once

**Pekka** · January 11, 2003, 00:04

So he's a player.. I think there comes a point when it's not cool anymore, you know, using people too much. Lack of respect for someones feelings and so on.But what can you do.. friend is a friend even if he has some bad habits

. Besides, you can get some rebounds yourself hanging with him!

**Bereta_Eder** · January 11, 2003, 00:09

i used to get all the sophisticated chiks who would not fall for his "childish" games and they wanted someone more serious (that would be me thank you very much

)
as you said friends are friends but is very difficult to be around a person who doesnt care acting like a complete jerk in front of girls all the time. you just get embarassed by it.. believe me. but we always respect eachother. its just that his acting many times has made me hold my head with my hands (inside my mind) because it i SO out there ALL the time
apart from me and a couple of other also childhood friends he doesn have any other friends.
and he's also tired of what he does, but also afraid that he cant do/be anything else by now.

**Pekka** · January 11, 2003, 00:17

Ok.. I think 'players' wouldn't have so much friends.. since they are too busy getting women all the time, and maybe they won't let people too close to him, or people who get close see something they don't want to see.
Don't know.. I knew one, he was my friend but now we're not so close anymore. Mainly, because he was always with a new girl, so we couldn't hang out a lot, he was always on a new game, and third wheels are not welcomed then. I had enough.

**Bereta_Eder** · January 11, 2003, 00:34

his kind of sorrow was that he didnt have any friends or close friends. i practically walked away because i couldnt stand his VERY out there behavior all the time.

he didnt mind company when going out with girls. on the contarry he wanted it.

whenever i called him up or he call me up he always had some new girl "and her (female) friend" so we could go out and noone would get bored.

but most girls run away from him after one night, others run away to his bed. all after a very short time left him. but when each night is with new one and a new one... you do the math

he's used to that way of life but it is a very high energy and thick skin one

but hes obsessed with that. he doesn talk about anything else, and he doesnt do anything else.
but he had some very good looking girlfriens let me tell you

funny how we never fought about a girl now that i think about it.
if i liked someone he would say, hey go ahead, yours and he would back off
