Battle of the Brits #1

I just have to!

Woohoo! Ne morem verjet, ampak zgodilo se je... Prvo mesto je spet prevzel Jason Statham. Gledala sem namreč Mean Machine. V glavni vlogi igra Vinnie Jones, ki je že za časa svoje realne profesionalne nogometne kariere na igrišču delal predvsem pizdarije (watch that crotch lad :)). Med drugim mu pripada prestižni naslov igralca z najhitreje prejetim rumenim kartonom (na tekmi profijev), le-tega je dobil v rekordnih 3 sekundah. Ne štekam, kako je to mogoče... ampak ok. Od vseh njegovih filmov (te zadnje ameriške polomije so katastrofa, $$$ really rules everything i guess) mi je najbolj kul v Snatchu. Itak. Bullet Tooth Tony... in en izmed mojih najljubših citatov filma

Bullet Tooth Tony: So, you’re obviously the big dick. And these two on either side of ya are your balls. There are two types of balls. There are big brave balls, and there are little mincey faggot balls.

Vinny: These are your last words, so make them a prayer.

Bullet Tooth Tony: Now, dicks have drive and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell pussy and they want a piece of the action. And you thought you smelled some good old pussy, and have brought your two small mincey faggot balls along for a good old time. But you've got your wires crossed. There's no pussy here, just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with ya. And the fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your guns, and the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point five O" written on the side of mine should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now... fuck off.

Obožujem filme z dialogi, ki so (1) zabavni (2) zanimivi (3) malce dvoumni in (4) ti dajo mislit. To je (meni osebno) največji plus angleških filmov (pa spet ne vseh, logično). Quotes are fun, arrr! Okej, nazaj k Minmašin... film je iz leta 2001, je nekakšna poangležena priredba filma The Longest Yard (izvedba s Sandlerjem in ostalimi je pač še en "ničposebnega" remake), kjer namesto ameriškega nogometa igrajo klasičen žogobrc (ahaha, soccer stajl), ki mi je neprimerno bolj pri srcu. Film res ni niti približno višek filmske umetnosti, je pa zato Stathamov karakter The Monk fakin anbilivabl. Njegova igra pa brutalna. Evo en kratek filmček, za predstavo...

Clive Owen je na drugem mestu. Definitivno. Tretje mesto pripada Dannyu Dyerju, ki v Mean Machine igra simpatičnega "dee dee dee" zapornika. Mi je vseeno bolj všeč v kakšni testosteronsko obarvani vlogi. Ne da se mi več... Mogoče še en citat, tako, za konec.

[Watching The Monk practise Karate]

Doc: Apparently he killed 23 men with his bare hands.

Danny Meehan: Maybe I should take up Karate.

Doc: That was before he took up Karate.

Nough' said.
Enjoy*
