that was badass as hell.
the part where he's escaping from the embassy in the beginning is also sweet.
Yeah, all the martial arts type stuff was cool, but it wasn't anything that I haven't seen before. The scene out in the snow seemed much more...brutal. I don't know it had more of an ohmyfuckinggodthatwassweet sort of feel, maybe because it was on a smaller scale than the embassy scene.

You know what, speaking of Clive Owen the last scene in Privateer 2 was unforgettable to me. Even back when no one knew who he was that man had screen presence.
I try to avoid thinking about Serenity because Joss Whedon has a hard-on for killing endearing characters and overall it just wasn't as good as Firefly, but
[spoiler:06a172b883]The space fight between the Alliance and the Reavers was fantastic. Especially when the gigantic fucking space hulk comes out. The sense of scale was really, really there. Also: The nerve cluster scene between Mal and the operative.[/spoiler:06a172b883]

Someone already mentioned "Die Hard: With a Vengeance", but I have to restate that this movie is AWESOME. I don't care what people say, it was the best Die Hard movie by a mile. Some of the quotes were great, too (I'm not spoilering them because they don't give away anything from the plot). Shamelessly stolen from IMDB:
John McClane: Look I fail you cover my ass. You fail I cover your ass! Zeus: And if we both fail? John McClane: Then we're both fucked!
[McClane hands Zeus a gun] John McClane: You know how to fire one of these? Zeus: No. John McClane: No? Zeus: Hey, all brothers don't know how to use guns, you racist motherfucker.
Zeus: Why do you keep calling me 'Jesus'? Do I look Puerto Rican to you? John McClane: Guy back there called you 'Jesus'. Zeus: He didn't say 'Jesus'. He said, "Hey, Zeus!" My name is Zeus. John McClane: Zeus? Zeus: Yeah, Zeus. As in father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?
[about to call Simon with the answer to another riddle] Zeus: Wait a minute, wait a minute, it's a trick! I forgot about the man. John McClane: Man? What man? Fuck the man! I got ten seconds here! Zeus: The riddle begins, "As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives!" John McClane: So? Zeus: So, the guy and his wives aren't going anywhere. John McClane: What are they doing? Zeus: Sitting in the fucking road! Waiting on the moors! How the hell should I know?
There are so many more great ones, but they'd take up a whole page. I loved that movie.
Alright, i'm pretty damn sure i'm the only one here who's even seen this movie, but -
Cold Mountain -
[spoiler:6fa6790837]The part where Stobrod Thewes and Pangle are camping in the forest. The two confederate soldiers find them, and join them around the fire. They sing a heart wrenching ballad called "I Wish my Baby were born". Then the soldiers execute them both. For a fucking chick flick, that scene gets me every time.[/spoiler:6fa6790837]
I actually ended up buying the soundtrack that movie 'cause of that scene. Money well spent.
Sure, Dead Man's Chest has some entertaining and genuinely awesome moments in it, but those were all swamped with slow and plodding actions scenes. I was expecting a movie somewhat similar to the first when I walked into theatre - something cool, fast paced, entertaining, funny, and tinged with the supernatural. Plus, pirates! I was a bit wary because the first movie didn't need a sequel at all. The second movie wasn't nearly as tight and well coordinated and the first one. It's like they forgot that repeated action sequences are boring. Like, really, really boring. It might just be me but anytime that movie lurched into a sword fight or action sequence I found myself idly wondering when the hell it would end.
And I know this is nitpicky and I usually hate when people point out stuff like this, but the characters just didn't think things through. Like:
[spoiler:911930e9ba]
Hey, we got the chest! Admiral Whyamibackinthismovie wants it for himself! Prettyboy pirate wants to destroy it! Jack wants it to barter for his life! Why doesn't Jack use it to call off the Kracken, and THEN prettyboy pirate can destroy it.
NO! LET'S NOT! LOLTHREEWAYSWORDFIGHTLOLZ.
[/spoiler:911930e9ba]
Jack couldn't use it to just call off the Kraken, it's not a command device like a remote controller, it's more of something that you say "Hey I have your heart, call of the beast or I stab straight through." So he had to hold on to it to *show* Jones as a threat.
I am also an avid POTC fan, I have read the screen-play religiously and I love the films. I am actually heading up to Anaheim in May to the premiere of At World's End and I will also be at the local midnight showing here. I live and breathe POTC it seems most of the time, I am known as "that guy who is a pirate" and "Captain Jack" at my high school, I hold all of the same mannerisms without even making the effort. :P
[spoiler:9e48a9b705] It was during that assault on that Village during the battle of the Bulge. I think it was Spiers running through the smoke of that tank shell hitting the ground. HOLY SHIT, AWESOMESAUCE.[/spoiler:9e48a9b705]
[spoiler:e5ee9ba33e]teri dies. "hooray! we beat the terrorists and saved the day! HOLY FUCK MY WIFE IS DEA-beep. beep. beep. beep"[/spoiler:e5ee9ba33e]
i was hoping to god she'd die the entire fucking season. what an annoying bitch.
[spoiler:e5ee9ba33e]the final made me so goddamn happy.[/spoiler:e5ee9ba33e]
also, Big Dookie, what you say is absolutely correct. With A Vengeance is the greatest Die Hard movie yet. very good, very well done.
[spoiler:47ce93a5cf] The first scene with "Ivan", the freaky ghost train and when what really happened to make Reznik like he is is revealed [/spoiler:47ce93a5cf]
Agreed, that scene was really desaturated, dark and creepy... just awesome.
Tommy and Jimmy beating a made guy to (near) death as Donovan's Atlantis picks up in the background, in Goodfellas.
Marky Mark briefs his team in The Departed. "My theory on Feds is they're like mushrooms. Feed 'em shit and keep 'em in the dark."
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman introduces himself in Full Metal Jacket.
Uma and Vivica beat the shit out of each other in Kill Bill Vol.1

Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
Just about any scene with the Brain Gremlin. But, my favorite:
Are you having a run on the banks there yet? Well, it's rather brutal here. We're advising our clients to put everything they've got into can food and shotguns!
Charade and Dr. Strangelove have some of my favorite writing in any movie ever, and they're both from way before when I was born. Just shows how good classic scripts are.
And in closing, I don't think this back-and-forth needs any introduction:
What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that's happening now, is happening, now.
What happened to then?
We missed then.
When?
Just now. We're at now, now.
Go back to then.
When?
Now.
Now?
Now!
We can't.
Why?
We missed then.
When?
Just now.
...When will then, be now?
Soon.
...how soon?
Sir!
What?
We've identified their location!
Where!
It's the moon of Vega!
Good work. Set a course and prepare for our arrival!
When!
At 0900 hours, sir!

A lot of people I talked to laughed at that scene. At first, it was shock, then as it continued, they stopped taking it seriously, so all the dramatic weight was lost.
The movie it's a remake of, Infernal Affairs, is superior in every way apart from the badassness of Mark Wahlberg, a better shrink/girlfriend character in The Departed, and Alec Baldwin digging the hell out of the Patriot Act.

Clive Owen was that sniper? Badass! I totally forgot about that. Europeans are hot, but European snipers are hotter.
I can't believe I forgot 24...
[spoiler:a6394b8862] Teri wasn't my favorite character but she had her moments. Like takin' the rape bullet for her daughter (ugh, that's rough) and I think she totally shot some guy at some point. Maybe. But that was indeed an intense scene.
Also, when Aaron Pierce calls President Logan a disgrace to the office after being tortured. He's bloodied and bruised but musters the strength to calmly call the President a disgrace. He's almost as badass as Jack. He saved the russians and Mrs. Logan from the terrorists and he always manages to maintain a strict sense of honor and duty while bending the rules a bit to help out Jack. That guy rocks.
When Henderson realizes Jack gave him an empty pistol, and then Jack takes him down. Sweet vengeance.
And when Jack finally, finally kills Nina.
*nina feebly reaches for a gun*
Jack : "oh no you don't..." BLAM BLAM BLAM
Good times.
[/spoiler:a6394b8862]
Both Kill Bills have some magnificent moments. My favorites are the Oren and The Bride's battle, set to "Don't Let me be Misunderstood" and the bit right before Elle loses her eye. Oh, and the "her baby is still allive..?" bit too.
"I'm going to kill you with your own sword. Which,in the near future, will become MY sword."
"Bitch. You don't have a future."
And about dead man's chest... My impression was the Kracken had "locked on" to Jack. I thought it was sort of mindless and didn't really have a mental connection to squidface. So Jack shows the heart to squidface, squidface is like, oh damn, you got my heart yo, and calls off the kracken. Bill then stabs the heart. Problem solved. Three way swordfight not needed.
I'm thinking it was the first Indiana Jones movie, when the second sword-wielding-type jumps into the "fight circle," flashes his sword around a bunch, and Indy's all "oh fuck this" and shoots him.
Also, I was a kid when Air Force One came out, so the "Get off my Plane" line was basically the most badass thing I'd ever seen at the time.
the only moment in any film to make me scream a heartfelt "NO!" at the tv:
"i float like a.."*SPLEURGH*
pre-emptive edit: i'm aware it has already been mentioned, rightly so.
edit the 2nd, revenge of edit: tv shows, the Scrubs episode "The Screwup". There'll probably be a thousand "it's been done before" rebuttals, but i'm convinced this is one of the most poignant things i have seen in one hell of a long time.

"My Screwup" is the saddest episode of Scrubs, and one of my favorites. Good call.
I'm thinking it was the first Indiana Jones movie, when the second sword-wielding-type jumps into the "fight circle," flashes his sword around a bunch, and Indy's all "oh fuck this" and shoots him.
The best part was it was all improvised. There was a supposed to be a huge fight scene there, the sword guy had been training for weeks, and when it came time to shot the scene Ford was sick and wasn't up to it, so he came up with the idea of Indy just shooting him.
It worked out great, but you have to feel sorry for the guy who trained rigorously just so he could get 5 seconds of screen time and fall down.

And about dead man's chest... My impression was the Kracken had "locked on" to Jack. I thought it was sort of mindless and didn't really have a mental connection to squidface. So Jack shows the heart to squidface, squidface is like, oh damn, you got my heart yo, and calls off the kracken. Bill then stabs the heart. Problem solved. Three way swordfight not needed.
Also, I was a kid when Air Force One came out, so the "Get off my Plane" line was basically the most badass thing I'd ever seen at the time.
At college, I want to major in Harrison Ford.

pre-emptive edit: i'm aware it has already been mentioned, rightly so.
edit the 2nd, revenge of edit: tv shows, the Scrubs episode "The Screwup". There'll probably be a thousand "it's been done before" rebuttals, but i'm convinced this is one of the most poignant things i have seen in one hell of a long time.
The best part was it was all improvised. There was a supposed to be a huge fight scene there, the sword guy had been training for weeks, and when it came time to shot the scene Ford was sick and wasn't up to it, so he came up with the idea of Indy just shooting him.
It worked out great, but you have to feel sorry for the guy who trained rigorously just so he could get 5 seconds of screen time and fall down.

[spoiler:75af75c3f7][Monty standing in the men's bathroom, talking to himself in a mirror with a "FUCK YOU" written on it]
Monty Brogan: Well, fuck you, too. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck this whole city and everyone in it. Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back. Fuck the squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking job! Fuck the Sikhs and the Pakistanis bombing down the avenues in decrepit cabs, curry steaming out their pores, stinking up my day. Terrorists in fucking training. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! Fuck the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped up biceps. Going down on each other in my parks and on my piers, jingling their dicks on my Channel 35. Fuck the Korean grocers with their pyramids of overpriced fruit and their tulips and roses wrapped in plastic. Ten years in the country, still no speaky English? Fuck the Russians in Brighton Beach. Mobster thugs sitting in cafés, sipping tea in little glasses, sugar cubes between their teeth. Wheelin' and dealin' and schemin'. Go back where you fucking came from! Fuck the black-hatted Chassidim, strolling up and down 47th street in their dirty gabardine with their dandruff. Selling South African apartheid diamonds! Fuck the Wall Street brokers. Self-styled masters of the universe. Michael Douglas, Gordon Gekko wannabe mother fuckers, figuring out new ways to rob hard working people blind. Send those Enron assholes to jail for FUCKING LIFE! You think Bush and Cheney didn't know about that shit? Give me a fucking break! Tyco! Worldcom! Fuck the Puerto Ricans. 20 to a car, swelling up the welfare rolls, worst fuckin' parade in the city. And don't even get me started on the Dom-in-i-cans, 'cause they make the Puerto Ricans look good. Fuck the Bensonhurst Italians with their pomaded hair, their nylon warm-up suits, their St. Anthony medallions, swinging their, Jason Giambi, Louisville slugger, baseball bats, trying to audition for the Sopranos. Fuck the Upper East Side wives with their Hermes scarves and their fifty-dollar Balducci artichokes. Overfed faces getting pulled and lifted and stretched, all taut and shiny. You're not fooling anybody, sweetheart! Fuck the uptown brothers. They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take five steps on every lay-up to the hoop. And then they want to turn around and blame everything on the white man. Slavery ended one hundred and thirty seven years ago. Move the fuck on! Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus violating plungers and their 41 shots, standing behind a blue wall of silence. You betray our trust! Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants. Fuck the church that protects them, delivering us into evil. And while you're at it, fuck JC! He got off easy! A day on the cross, a weekend in hell, and all the hallelujahs of the legioned angels for eternity! Try seven years in fuckin' Otisville, J! Fuck Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and backward-ass, cave-dwelling, fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fuel fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal Irish ass! Fuck Jacob Elinsky, whining malcontent. Fuck Francis Xavier Slaughtery my best friend, judging me while he stares at my girlfriend's ass. Fuck Naturelle Riviera, I gave her my trust and she stabbed me in the back, sold me up the river, fucking bitch. Fuck my father with his endless grief, standing behind that bar sipping on club sodas, selling whisky to firemen, cheering the Bronx bombers. Fuck this whole city and everyone in it. From the row-houses of Astoria to the penthouses on Park Avenue, from the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho. From the tenements in Alphabet City to the brownstones in Park slope to the split-levels in Staten Island. Let an earthquake crumble it, let the fires rage, let it burn to fucking ash and then let the waters rise and submerge this whole rat-infested place.
[pause]
Monty Brogan: No. No, fuck you, Montgomery Brogan. You had it all, and you threw it away, you dumb fuck! [/spoiler:75af75c3f7]
For some reason, I read that as "Passion of the Christ 2: Dead Man's Chest"
I wouldn't call it one of my favorite scenes ever, but Anna Paquin is sexy as hell when
[spoiler:939213bf7f]Monty and his friends are in the bar and Anna Paquin walks in, in goth makeup and high as a kite, doing one of the best Hollywood depictions of rolling on E I've ever seen, and sits down next to Philip Seymour Hoffman and does her jailbait routine.[/spoiler:939213bf7f]
Smouldering hot.
