Title: Fantastic 4 and other movies
Post by: The D on Dec 08, 2005, 10:45:48 PM
I rented Fantastic 4, never seen it before.

I like the fact they tried to get good characterization in there, having the characters react to their new powers in their unique ways and shit like that.

However, it seemed to be missing... something. Like a good plot perhaps? Like ANY plot perhaps? Like not having a movie way too short and rushed?

The whole bit about the villian losing his company and turning evil to get revenge reminds me of Spiderman, but at least in Spiderman it worked well. Here, it was lame.

Odd that Ben was only change completely back to normal with Doom's help.....looking oddly completely normal with no deformities of his skin, but then he jumps back in the machine without VonDoom's help and changes back as easy as pie.

Also, I tried to imagine Ben and the blind black chick doing 'stuff', and I can't wrap my mind around that horrible image, thankfully.

She was black in the movie?

Gay. Why don't they just make a Black Panther movie, or another Blade shitfest.

This title is a lie.  Where are these "other movies"?

Yeah, I remember them saying over at Shwiggie's about her being black.  Marvel has to prove that they're equal opportunity though, as proven by DMX playing the Submariner in 2009.

Is Ben Grimm's wife supposed to be white in the comics? Or even something special?

These OTHER movies will come when I type them. I'm still in the middle of one.

Didja know George Carver didn't invent Peanut Butter?

New Battlestar Galactica: Miniseries/Movie

After not having cable because my mother won't buy it, and I'm too poor for the $50(0000000000) a month bill, I have not seen the new Battlestar and have been clueless when you guys talk about it.

No more. I was able to rent the movie, but no movie place has the TV series. The DVDs came on two double-sided disks. The disk menus said "Turn over for bonus features," but neither disk worked on the other side.

Now, I rather liked the movie..  however, I had two issues with it.

First off, the movie tended to drag a little too much, even for something that was a little over 3 hours long. It had rather boring moments with heavy drama or character crap, with little action in-between. For a sci-fi movie the whole thing sure felt too much like a soap opera.

The bigger problem I had, though, was about the vehicle design. I loved the fact that everything looked realistic and modern. The Cylon ships were all new. The Cylons themself looked dangerous. Galactica had the same basic shape but a more agressive look to it. However, out of all those changes, the Vipers, for some fucking bizzare reason, looked EXACTLY like they did in the first series. You would think if they changed every single other fucking spacecraft that they'd change the vipers, but they still look like shitty little air show stunt craft. Even the launch tube looks like a duplicate from the old show. I expected all the people flying the new vipers to be still wearing Egyptian helmets.

I like the Mark 2. The Mark 7...which are the new vipers are ugly as hell.


And the Series is better the movie, so if you get the chance to rent it you should buy it.

What the hell was with that?

I don't think the TV series is out on DVD yet, for some odd reason. Pisses me off too.

I don't like the Mark 2s. They updated the rest of the series, why did they keep most of the fighters looking like the original ones?

That he would suggest you buy something, especially after already paying to rent it.

The TV series is out on DVD. Its been out since I think Aug or Sept. I was just looking at it at Wal-Mart the other night cause I'm thinking of getting it. If the place you rent movies doesn't have it by now, they proably won't be getting it.


Well the reason the Mark 2 are in there is cause they are the older fighters that didn't have intergrated computer systems. Just like the Galactica herself. As to why they used them....It could be that some of the old full size model from the orginal show where still around and they used those to save money...or that because things like Starbuck being a girl, Boomer being and Asian Chick, and Tigh Being white that they thought they might lose fans of the old show and so they threw in some things they would reconzie so they'd actually stay in their seats long enough to actually watch the movie. Just a guess though....I don't know the real reason they did it.

Inu Yasha 3

It felt like any episode of IY, just longer. InuYasha and Sesshomaru bicker constantly, IY and Kagome bicker constantly, IY is stubborn and boldly and recklessly strides into danger, Miroku constantly gropes Sango, and, even though she loves him or so we're lead to believe, she slaps him, showing how her village of demon slayers show affection... through violence.

The same old shit. I found the second movie mildly more entertaining, if only to see Naraku get his finally.

No blockbuster or hollywood video in 50 miles seems to have the series for rental, even though they have sex in the city, desperate housewives, lost, american idol. Fuck that. I'd ask for it for christmas but it's way too late.

I didn't find anything mindblowingly awesome about this movie. The only redeeming value was the DVD begins with the Advent Children english trailer before everything else.

Sounds about right.  The boy was voiced by a girl, right?  Was it obviously so, because that's how I remember it sounding in the preview.

Look on the bright side, you can turn around and take out all your pain on a guy.....thus making his life almost as shitty and preserving the heirarchy.

Bah, making his life shitty would make mine shitty by association.  I rather be able to sprinkle it on a broom, thus bringing it to life and enabling it to do my chores, such as sweeping and carrying buckets of water down the stairs with its little cartoon-like hands.

It sucks at first, but then you devolp a immunity to it, but of course you have to pretend it still hurts your feelings or they'll just find more inventive ways to hurt you.

One of the managers at work, the new guy no less, told me I needed a boyfriend.  Prick.  He's the frickin' new guy, he should try being a little less offensive.  I told him, "Why?  I have no use for a boyfriend.  And I mean, NO USE." and walked away.  He acts a little weird.  Like he'll say 'good morning' to me like three times within the same fifteen minute span.  Yeah yeah, you said it to me already, McDouche.  Jesus, I can't tell if he's nervous around me or just retarded.
