http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/ It's probably in my top 20. <3 There are people on its IMDb boards saying that they hated it and it was boring and it made no sense. :\\ I loved it and thought it was fascinating and it made complete sense... and lol at the IMDb thread entitled 'is it gay for sam1 to blow sam2?' :| | ||

I love this movie so much. GERTY was my favorite. Kevin Spacey's voice + the smiley faces on the screen = epic. | ||

Forum Posts: 4842 Comments: 381 Reviews: 13 | okay. watched it. while I wouldn't call it 'awesome' - in my book, this term applies to The Matrix Trilogy and 2001 A Space Odyssey and Baraka and maybe a few others ; oh and to the Passengers script - , I liked it a lot. Liked the sadness of it; and above all, Sam's acting. I'll have to watch more of his films, soon. liked the smiley faces , too. | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Music was by Clint Mansell, who's mostly famous for Requiem for a Dream. Have you seen that? Seriously depressing movie.
Which of Sam Rockwell's films have you watched? ...Meanwhile, a friend and I agreed that it would be gay for Sam1 to blow Sam2, because clones are different people. The only time when doppelganger slash is not gay is when time travel is involved and it's basically still the exact same person. We deliberated about this for a while, because people do change over time, but eventually we decided that it still counts as the same person. Then we wondered about alternate universe selves, especially if they have a same source universe and both branched out from that same source, and whether this would be like the time travel situation. In conclusion, gay: Cloneslash, twincest, Neo and Conor. :| | ||

Forum Posts: 4842 Comments: 381 Reviews: 13 | yes, I've seen Requiem... Twice. Read the novel, too.
The Hitchhiker, of course. - - - gay or not, in those circumstances said Sam 1/Sam 2 moment would be just a pity f***. | ||

Forum Posts: 330 Comments: 131 Reviews: 0 | I also watched Moon recently - thanks for the encouragement, I'd not have known about it otherwise and I liked it, a lot. Not surprising that many felt it boring, it was a bit too cerebral for the average audience, not nearly enough visible chaos and mayhem (visible being the key term, there was plenty of mental chaos and mayhem ;).
As for senseless, it made so much sense it wasn't funny :(. But for those who watch a film with everything in their brain switched off save for the eyes.. understandable that they didn't understand. | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | I like mental chaos and mayhem more than the visible sort. :D Not to mention that most visible chaos originates from mental chaos... | ||

Forum Posts: 202 Comments: 28 Reviews: 0 | Ani, you're right (as usual) Just watched Moon and thought it was amazing. Especially Sam Rockwell's performance just blew me away. What a guy. And to think that he plays Zaphod in Hitchhiker's Guide and Bill Wharton in The Green Mile! Totally different characters. He needs more awards. | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Glad you enjoyed it! :D And yeah, Sam Rockwell is awesome and totally deserves an Oscar. He's never even been nominated, which someone on Tumblr claims is why the world didn't end yet: http://oscarforrockwell.tumblr.com/post/38607366850/ Have you watched Galaxy Quest? It's a hilarious sci-fi comedy, and Rockwell acted in it too. he's got amazing range. incidentally I run a fansite: http://www.sam-rockwell.com, though it never really took off, and sadly has no community like this one. | ||

Forum Posts: 202 Comments: 28 Reviews: 0 | Haven't seen Galaxy Quest yet but I'm going to be on the look out for more of his movies.
I like your fansite but that is a piteous forum! I almost feel sorry for Sam, that no one wants to discuss him and his work like we do here with Keanu! *wishes there were more hours in a day* | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Galaxy Quest is one of my favourite movies ever. It's also got Alan Rickman in it being awesome. :D
haha, yeah. XD There are Sam fans around - the fansite is actually a team effort, with a few people who helped out with most of the gallery, and someone else is hosting it. There are also quite a lot of fans on Tumblr, and there was a fanblog there called 'Sam Rockwell is Underrated' that got pretty popular before its owner deleted it (and her personal blog) for some reason. :/ But a community never managed to form outside of that; it seems to be mostly isolated fans, or small groups of fans. Fandom dynamics are fascinating. | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Sam is famous for his dancing:
"I’m shameless. I get a little carried away sometimes, but it was appropriate for that character. As long as it’s not inappropriate for the character. It seems to fit so far, but eventually, I’m going to get caught — like if I’m playing an accountant or something. Not that accountants can’t dance, but there will be some part where people say, “Take it easy with the fucking dancing, Rockwell." - Sam Rockwell on dancing Also, someone made this Tumblr: |
