Mr Nobody

While I admit to not being familiar with this particular project for which I shall give imdb a good once over to get acquainted with what's in store, it is an absolute pleasure to bring another film of which I greatly enjoyed.

I'm a fan of dark comedies, even more so than most other comedies aside from stand up, and Tom Hanks does indeed star in a movie with a good few black individuals, including Marlon Waynes in 'The Ladykillers'. I must say, I think you both, Peggygee and TVSurfer, especially as folk who appreciate the english language, may also like this film though I do admit it doesn't stand head and shoulders with the likes of those other big name films we've mentioned.

As far as comedy with a dark side, The Ladykillers had me rolling on the floor! I forgeot to add it my favorite Tom Hanks list. In my personal opinion, Marlon Wayans made his bones in this movie. The whole cast was perfect!

I really enjoy Tom Hanks too...he's like today's Jimmy Stewart.

I thought he co-started with Denzel Washington in Philadelphia?

I may have painted him with too broad of a brush.

I tend to keep my eye on folks like Woody Allen or Stephen King who never
seems to have people of color in their films. But I don't get the sense that is
not the case with Hanks.

Wow, was late finding this gem! If you fancy a quirky movie sort of like Donnie Darko or Requiem for a Dream, (though I don't think it'll attain those two cult status) give it a go.

I was wondering when you might make a post about the film I also saw it recently and I would say it is definately one of the better films I have seen for a while. A great story but the prolonged scenes of the protagonists teen years was a little too much for me.

As you too, have only just caught the movie I assume you are still using the trusty site I forwarded to you sometime ago as it was uploaded there a couple of weeks ago.

On an unrelated note I would also recommend Tetro which, is Francis Ford Coppola's most recent film. I'd say a little underrated on IMDb too.

Also great to see a fellow cinephile on the forum Peggygee! I miss the days of studying film at Uni

Right, I noticed that as well, though I think we got so much of those years as that's where all the immediate results from decisions made were happening.

Well, I only use newsgroups, binsearch and usenet. Upon occasion when there's something hard to find there, maybe ninja video but that's about it. I'm really protective of where I go, lest I catch some nasty malware or virus.

Went and read about Tetro, I will be checking it out when I get back to town.

lol got to love Tom Hanks. There was another movie he did I really liked, I can't remember the name but he was a foreigner stuck in a NY airport.

I feel you, although I have found torrent sites to be much safer than usenet to be honest. I recently signed up to a newsgroup/usenet provider and found that because movies tend to packed into rars a lot of them have a virus inside the rar files. I use one torrent site in particular which, uses a collective of 'rippers' who will only upload DVD/HD quality rips to the site. This is to uphold quality but also to help thwart any takedown attempts by exploiting the betamax/lending case from the 70s as the site argues the DVD rips are 'lent' out to downloaders. If anyone interested in cinema and wants a link to the site then hit me up on PM (I'm a little hesitant to give it out on the forum as I see so many torrent sites disappearing as MPAA takes them down with lawsuit after lawsuit).

Actually many newsgroup posters are the same groups posting on the torrent sites. I follow specific groups that are well known and submit quality material. What keeps newsgroups legal, is that there isn't a direct give/receive between one pc to another like with peer-to-peer. Newgroups are more like throwing your trash out (poster's data) and somebody coming to the newsgroup (landfill) and picking up the trash (data).
