The relationship between sam and frodo isn't gay. I think anyone who thinks it's gay is either a chick or uncomfortable with their sexuality.I have the tattoo 'Steve' on my left ass cheek. It was a Navy thing, he saved my life, you wouldn't understand.
This is from the perspective of having read the books more times than I can remember so if Elijah is giving off some fag vibe on film I don't see it because I understand where they're coming from.
It's ok to love your same sex friends in a non homoerotic way. There are people I'd risk or forfeit my life to save on this planet and not all of them are chicks.
But in the book, Frodo was much older than Samwise and didn't give him the doe-eyed glance and groan, "oh, Sam!" with regularity.
there was undeniable tension between Legolas/Gimli and Boromir/Aragorn.

Wait what? Sexual tension? No there wasn't.
Other then Legolas looking like a chick and Gimli being just the right height for a good BJ.

We're gonna watch My Name is Bruce later (which I haven't seen either).
I'm watching the Garfield movie now. Someone fucking shoot me.
Transformers 4 in the dollar theater.
Cartoonist.
Cartoonist.To mention the numbers: he had at least two $5000 dollar chairs. They made Jon ridiculously upper middle class. If he was really that successful, he should've bagged Liz a looooong time ago.
The reason he didn't bag Liz earlier isn't cause she was one of those rare women that don't drop their panties at the sign of a large bank account, but because he had too much self doubt to be brave enough to ask her out.
Well, that one's on my skip list. Thanks, gywnn!
B-but that...was a positive review. :laugh:
I think if you showed this movie to expectant mothers we might have more abortions and population culling is something I can stand behind.
Aside from forced sterilization or education I don't see much hope for that.
I saw Xanadu for the first time recently.

I watched Beowulf last night. There was a lot of stuff I didn't care for in this movie, and I certainly don't remember Beowulf selling out and macking Grendel's mother. Even if she did look like Angelina Jolie, that's still BS.
Beowulf was a great movie. I wasn't faithful to the original, but remember the 'original' is one version that was written down by someone probably 100+ years after the original was told. I enjoyed it.
I find it funny Anthony Hopkins and Angenlia Jolie produce an inbred freak of nature with an ear problem with Angie and Ray Winstone produces an oscar statue that morphs into a badass drake.

Commando.
Actually bought this one out of the five buck bin with Predator 2. Hadn't seen it in awhile. Can't say the villian was very threatening in this one. He looked more like he should be kicking back and watching "Da Bears" then trying to kill Arnie.
And whatever happened to Rae Dawn Chong anyway?
I'm watching a movie called Across the Hall starring Brittney Murphy, can't give a review of it yet but the opening credits are pretty cool and mood setting.
I think it's about a murder in a Hotel, I was expecting from the title...I guess a romantic comedy?
Well that was crappy, they killed off Brittney Murphy(who I love) very quickly then I just lost interest. The two male leads were throwaway 20something who caresies, Brittney should not be hotel room fodder at this point in her career. Bad role choice I guess, pass.
Sin City :D

Okay now I'm watching a movie with Lena Headey from the Sarah Connor Chronicles called The Broken.
Its a pretty darn scary movie about dopplegangers from a mirror universe and they all have this "there can be only one" attitude.
I don't understand this, if I had a doppleganger I wouldn't wanna kill her, I think we would get along awesomely.
Wait, are you saying you're upset about improbable shit happening in a comic book movie?
insane ways to justify it.
The crappy masks concealing the identities of comic book heroes is an age old tradition.
You had no problems with the water vaporizer? I'm surprised you bitch about everything else besides this, when this was the main problem I had with that movie.
It's not Nolan or anyone else's fault you seem to have been expecting Adam West.
I'd run over plenty of random people to stop that from happening and I don't even have a tank.
Death Note, on the other had, was marvelous. The CG Ruyk looked realistic enough to be believable. The story was great, the plot twists awesome. They did an excellent job of condensing a long, drawn out, boring, milked-to-death TV show into a more enjoyable 2 hours for people with short attention spans or not a lot of time.
The second Hulk was better.
"I think Superman is a pretty cool guy. eh fails to kills Luthors and doesn't afraid of anything..."
The Spawn HBO series was far more enjoyable than the Spawn movie...but that's not saying much.
I remember that one of them felt like it lasted 8 fucking hours.
There's nothing boring about dead bodies and finding out who/what killed them. NOTHING.
or the Scarecrow from being an uncool waste
The whole water vaporizer thing didn't bother me. One, it's a comic movie, there's gonna be cockamamie macguffins in there as a matter of course. Second, IIRC the thing didn't vaporize people because it wasn't being aimed at them.
The ending of the first movie kinda fell apart for me. It seemed incredible that he planned this to do that and that to do this. It seemed ridiculously overthought so I wasn't too impressed with it. The anime seemed to have more restraint in that arena. The second movie ended great though.
I guess it was the intellectual games and twists that had me liking the first movie, and you not liking it so much.
I never cared for E.T. all that much either.
You would focus on outward apperances instead of what is in his glowing heart.
I liked Gia.
I'm keeping 3 and Resurrection in my queue, mind you, but it's still balls.3 was ok...Resurrection not so much.
since I don't recall aliens ever engineering their own tech, the Space Jockey landed somewhere where there were aliens and the aliens fucking killed him. We don't need a movie to explain this crap.
I'm keeping 3 and Resurrection in my queue, mind you, but it's still balls.3 was ok...Resurrection not so much.
Watched the "Aliens" SE cut, which I got from Netflix today. It's balls that Hicks and Newt die.
I'm keeping 3 and Resurrection in my queue, mind you, but it's still balls.3 was ok...Resurrection not so much.
I'm not so much knocking the movies in that sentence, I was still harping on about how Hicks and Newt being dead sucks and makes me anticipate the last two films less. It's been so long since I've seen either film, I don't remember how I liked them. Although I think my opinion was probably in-line with yours.
Did they give a reason why that was scrapped? I mean other then Newt being way too old by the time they got around to filming it. (Guess she could have aged in the pod. IE: The Lion-O effect.)
There's something about his stuff that rubs me the wrong way. It's very... smug, or something like that. I don't hate him, but I don't exactly jump for joy when I hear his name come up for a project.
Yeah but you can't say that without the Fan girls jumping down your throat. Ok Firefly wasn't that great of a show ok. No amount of bitching at me is going to change that.
Have you seen what Linda Hamilton looks like these days?
I've been trying to read the Darkest Night stuff from Green Lantern and company, but have not had the fucking time. Am I wasting my money?
BLACKEST Night.
And I saw Dragonball: Evolution. Got it out of the Red Box with a free rental cupon. Wasn't as bad as everyone was saying. Not good, but just not as bad. Kinda funny, and sad, that this movie stuck closer to it source material then Transformers did.
BLACKEST Night.
yeah, that one
I actually gave Dollhouse a chance with the first episode and it was pretty dull shit. Fox must've had nothing else in the pipe to order another season of that tripe.
Has anyone else seen Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li? I saw that shit the other day. M. Bison's abortion scene was one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
I watched a couple flicks for the first time today, the Warriors and the Lost Boys. I liked them both but I liked the Warriors better than the Lost Boys. Either way, the Warriors does not need a remake and the Lost Boys never needed a too-late sequel.
Last movie I saw: The Suicide Club. Next one: TOY STORY 1 AND 2 ON 3D THIS WEEKEND MOTHAFUCKASSSSSS! hellz yeaaaa
I'm still up in the air on whether or not I feel like seeing that.If you go don't drink anything for like a day in advance. The whole thing lasts like 4 hours. I'm still thinking about what time I should go, I don't wanna be surrounded by noisy kids, I'd slap them all

I watched Sex Drive last night, a lot funnier than expected. I also saw Zombieland over the weekend, which has the best celebrity cameo ever.
Bought Crank 2 and Watchmen on Blu-Ray.dude put that theres some friggin spoilers there or something! argh!
Re-watched Crank 2 tonight as I hadn't seen it since the theatrical release. So odd how Carradine's death in the movie was a parallel of his death in real life. I'll probably watch Watchmen over the weekend with the gf.
I still haven't seen any new movies (or old movies) in quite a while. I am, however, watching Firefly. Ðe geeks are right. Ðis is a great show. I wish I had heard about it when it was still on ðe air. I don't have a ratings box or anyþing, but I'd like to þink I could have helped it stay on the air.
So how was Crank 2? I really enjoyed the first one.
I'm pretty sure they were both written and directed by Hayao.
His son Goro is shit.
Ha ha, none at all. She was all "I'm certain Bill Paxton's hot, but I just can't think of a movie where he actually was." And I was all "Weird Science"!
That's pretty much Merla's reason for watching anything. She loves the movie Predator.Predator is freaking awesomeee. I always say the name wrong :-(
Agreed. I'm mouthing it with my best Peruvian accent and I'm getting;
prayDAYtorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
No Love for Hudson.
"How do I get out of this chicken shit outfit?"
Every decade has perfect Bond films.
The first four Connery were perfect, I'm torn on You Only Live Twice. James in yellow-face never struck me as plausible.
Golden Gun and The Spy Who Loved Me were better than anything else in the 70s.
A View to Kill beat out everything in the 80s, which was the worse for Bond. I still like Never say Never Again.
The 90s dominated with GoldenEye, one of my all time favorites mainly because of Sean Bean as 006. TNE and TWINE had its moments, but TWINE's inclusion of Christmas Jones spelled the end for the series when we had the win of Michelle Yeoh's character prior. Bond had to evolve and she set everything back, it was so yech it ruined things.
Now we're in the age of Craig, and I like it. I enjoyed QoS more than Casino Royale. Revenge Bond is a good Bond, especially since he got the proof he needed. Bond 24 should be a roundout film of further kick-assery.
Live and Let Die was too hokey for me to enjoy. Too many stereotypes. "Pimp mobile" was laughable.
and who gives a fuck about the Bolivian water supply?!
I do not like A View to Kill, sorry guys.
Live and Let Die was too hokey for me to enjoy. Too many stereotypes. "Pimp mobile" was laughable.
Still, outside of some SHITTY music choices, these are classics.
I do. It's the worst Bond song, because it starts great and then turns all carnival-y. Fuck Wings.Live and Let Die was too hokey for me to enjoy. Too many stereotypes. "Pimp mobile" was laughable.
I think you hate Wings.
I do not like A View to Kill, sorry guys.
I think you hate Duran Duran.

When? I don't remember seeing that anywhere.
I saw both Predators this weekend, half of Silence of the Lambs, part of Calendar Girls, this French flick called The Closet which was decent, and the god-awful craptacular Little Shop of Horrors musical film with Rick Moranis. Ugh.
I know that but it doesn't make it any less stupid. He had NOTHING to do with the making of the movie. I can't see the audience for Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction dying to see this film either. In fact, I could see them getting bored since it takes 18 minutes to get the plot rolling. For the record, I didn't know who Tony Jaa was either until I saw Ong Bak. They didn't need a name to sell it, there's bone-crunching. Countless bone-crunching. There's Thai boxing, Capoeira, wushu, people getting shot, a dude flipping around people and snapping their arms, a tranny with a whip, that guy who fought brad pitt in troy, "i love u long time" girls, a boat slamming to a helicopter and blowing it up, and elephants!
Damn it, I got the name wrong. And damn it I'd like to nuzzle on Ms. Ricci's chest.
The correct movie name was "Amelie," I also enjoyed "Persepolis."
I don't like that much chesthair either. It'd be like messing around with a brillo pad. Done it, didn't like it.
Apparently you've never seen me be facetious.I don't like that much chesthair either. It'd be like messing around with a brillo pad. Done it, didn't like it.
You apparently never had that level of chest hair in your life, girlie man. It feels nothing like a brillo pad.
I don't have quite that much, but I do know that mine feels like the mane of a ravenous lion.
He can still be inside you.
When? I don't remember seeing that anywhere.
The part where Starscream is throwing about the hatchlings or whatever they called them. That's on the moon. Where the Nemesis crashed. They even released a three-pack called 'Meeting at the Nemesis" based on that scene that for some reason includes Soundwave, who was not even in that scene. I don't remember if they ever explain that the Nemesis crashed or who was piloting it, but I want to say that's how Jetfire got there along with the other 'seekers.' BTW, I hate how they took the seeker name, and removed it from jets. I also hate that only Starscream of the original seekers is getting movie face time.
She was way too manish for men to be fighting over her, even for the 80s.
Yeah, where's Robert Wisden's Oscar? Hyuk.
But dude, didn't Marion Cotillard (Édith Piaf), Hilary Swank (Brandon Teena), Helen Mirren (Queen Elizabeth II), Reese Witherspoon (June Carter), Nicole Kidman (Virginia Woolf), Julia Roberts (Erin Brockovich), Charlize Theron (Aileen Wuornos), Cate Blanchett (Katharine Hepburn), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Truman Capote), Forest Whitaker (Idi Amin), Sean Penn (Harvey Milk), Adrien Brody (Wladyslaw Szpilman), and bunch of others do the same thing? Unless you just can't stand his acting, then that would be something else. Though, even though I didn't see Ray, I thought he was good in Collateral.
Did most deserve those oscars? Eh, it's difficult to say.
Public Enemies was great and, hey, did you know Power Girl has big boobies?AND HOW!
Why did Kirk land on Hoth?
The Batman voice ruined those movies for me.
As for not accomplishing anything, his aptitude was exceptionally high :p
But then there's the fact that Pike, Spock, and the dead chief medical and engineering officers were the only officers on board, with the rest of the crew being filled by cadets.
Oh I forgot about Scotty's little...ummm....goblin. That really had no place in there. I don't even know what the point of that thing was.
The ship in AvP is called something Maru.
Oh I forgot about Scotty's little...ummm....goblin. That really had no place in there. I don't even know what the point of that thing was.
a. Comic relief.b. Sell toys.c. Cute factor
Kirk was just a plain d-bag that got everything handed to him and earned nothing. Pike promoted him for sneaking on a ship, having his daddy die, blatantly cheating and not giving a shit, and getting beaten up by four other cadets because he was sexually harassing another one? FTW. There was no point to having the woman give birth to him in the midst of an attack, no point to the early childhood scenes for Kirk and Spock, Vulcans were acting more human than Spock was,
Chekov somehow fucks up the name "Victor" but gets "Vulcan" right afterwards which was just odd,
Romulans did not look like Romulans to either me or Merla,I think the bald heads and face tattoos where something they did on Mining vessels. That could be a in movie reason. More likely reason was that the studio didn't think people would be able to to tell the difference between Romulans (bad guys) and the Vulcans (good guys)
Kirk had to prove Spock was emotionally unfit by acting totally emotionally unfit himself.
The Uhura character reminded me too much of a grating know-it-all
And I can't believe I just defended the same guy that turned both Transformers movies into steaming piles of dog shit. Just goes to show that if you care about and know something about what you are working on you'll do a lot better job then if it's just another gig to you like Transformers was.

I thought you were saying this was Michael Bay, but I forgot it was Orci/Kurtzman (that's two guys, btw, both worked on both series). In their defense, I feel that Bay had a lot to do with how bad Transformers and ROTF are. That guy is a fucking tool. But I still watch his movies because awesome explosions.
I still like the TF movies for my own reasons. With a better director even with a similar script, I think they would have been much better.
I watched The Delta Force. Despite the annoying repetitive 80s music that played during every action scene (and made me want to kill myself), it was great to see one of Chuck Norris' movies where he actually kicks ass, and where the terrorist are actually Middle Eastern and Muslim and hate Americans and Jews.
...but I gotta say this was better than the last underworld flick.
I think all of this had a point in the story. Kirk was acting like D-bag and Spock like a robot to show you that they had to learn something from the adventure they were about to go on.
You'll notice how defensive he gets when people bring up his father.
And speaking of cheating on the test that's kind of character development too. It shows that he doesn't believe there is a no win situation. If that had continued you'd have seen him get a merit for creative thinking in find a way to beat the unbeatable test. When you are a Starship Captain sometimes "cheating" is the difference between life or death.
His thinking was outside the box and that can be very useful as a Captain.
Even I was going to punish him for it. I mean I admired he'd do whatever it took to win, but I just couldn't believe an uptight organization like Starfleet would ignore it and let him get away scott free.
Course then JJ got a hold of it and so I'll never get a chance at it one way or another.
That one extra that asked "What can we learn from Retard Wars" really made me WTF.
THANK YOU!!! My dad has been trying to remember what movie that happened in FOR FUCKING EVER!! I can't believe I couldn't remember that. FUCKLOL your memory sucks, how can you forget such an unforgettable movie, such a classic?
Was that the one where he was a POW and they put a starving rat in a bag over his head, and he wound up biting the rat to death?That might have been the second Delta Force movie. I don't remember that scene.
Anyways I saw Pandemonium yesterday. Lame. Germans can't do movies
I think they called him Victor Creed several times. Anyone that read Marvel comics in the 80s early 90s should know who that was.
Although I think the guy that played him in the first movie looked the part more.
I thought it was thoroughly Quentin Tarentino. As in, if you like most of his films, you probably liked this one, too. I like most of his films and I liked this one, too.I only like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. He is such a cocky bastard
Stuntman Mike is a brilliant character, a true wolf-in-sheeps clothing that ends up fucking with the wrong sheep.Oh you are such a poet!
Say Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Meant to see this in the theater, but never got around to it. There really wasn't a lot of Half-Blood Prince in Half-Blood Prince though. =\
I also saw this useless movie called "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging" about a British teen trying to hook-up with some random boy at school she decides she likes. I imagine this could've been a great film somehow (it's from the director of Bend It Like Beckham and I really like that one), but it's ultimately terrible. The main characters--the girl who stars and her best friend--come off as the most irritating, spoiled little slags ever. The most irritating thing of all is that normally characters like that are brought down a peg and taught a valuable lesson, forced to live their lives for the better by the end of the film. Instead, those two brats get everything they wanted without changing one ounce! I was also bothered by the fact that as much as the girl wanted a boyfriend, two generally nice guys in the movie ended up liking her and she uses them and then literally shoves two of her friends at them and everybody's happy. Also, the guy she likes has a girlfriend, but making moves on him in front of her is supposed to be justified because the girl's a bitch or whatever. Boo.
Just wait for the 3D TVs to come out.They had 3D DVDs. You get the glasses and everything.
Just wait for the 3D TVs to come out.They had 3D DVDs. You get the glasses and everything.
If this movie was a one and done, they should have had Watson die (when you see it, you'll know the scene) rather than just surviving with minor scrapes.
So I forgot to mention I watched mother fucking Avatar. 3D but not imax (a mistake, I think).wtf are you talking about son? Avatar, imo, sucked ass. It's a 3d version of Ferngully, for god's sake. So baddd, so baddd
btw, thank you Cameron for deleting the alien sex scene.
DUDE! I have heard of this movie! I don't think I could watch it, though.
But the whole movie had itty bitty kitty titties.
I don't mind a nice plump A or B cup, but when the girl looks like a 12-year old boy, I say she needs to get implants.EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Like Porn Star Kitty... something I forget her last name, so I linked a NSFW pic. Basically, I had bigger boobs when I ws 5.
NSFW LINK DO NOT CLICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING NAUGHTY (http://www.tgp.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/kitty.jpg) NSFW LINK
She definitely needs something done, or she could sell herself to pedos.
Oh yeah, I saw that, too. I forgot it in my previous list. Yeah, the lack of HBP really irked me. They had actually casted young Lily, James, and Snape but then either never filmed it or cut the parts out of the movie. Worse, Merla (who knows the books waaaay better than I do) says they actually had the balls to add shit in! Boo.I'm hoping that they include that part into the two Deathly Hollows movies. Knowing about Snape's relationship to Lily is essential to understanding why he does what he does and why he dislikes Harry so much. To keep Snape's past out of the movies is just utter bullshit. It just goes to show that these movies are catered soley to people who have read the books and the writers/directors/producers are all full of shit.
I gave Angels and Demons another shot. Not as terrible as I thought it'd be, but damn if the bad guy's plot relied on a LOT of fucking things going right. It seemed kinda ridiculous. And Tom Hanks' nose has grown. It's Nixonesque in this film!I had the villian of this movie called the instant he appeared on screen. I haven't even read the book and I said "That's the guy pulling the strings." I knew it had to be an inside job, a man who worked for the church. Near the end of the film I had serious doubts and even thought I was wrong, but when the villian is revealed I was like "I knew it!"
I also watched the last two PotC films on TV and was reminded why I disliked both of those films. It was like the Matrix-- the first film was quite enjoyable, the last two were passable.
They have to.
I enjoy the extended Legolas/Gimli interactions.
Never seen the extended editions, but I have read the books. Do they even sell the extended editions anymore?
I can't believe I used to think Legolas was hot :-/ The other day I saw LOTR on tv(the 3rd one) and he acted very girly like. Made even worse by her effeminate Michael Jackson-like voice
Orlando Bloom is a pussy, too. He turned down movie roles because he's afraid of his girlfriend cheating. What kind of sex symbol is that?
Its a guy. Why'd you say her. I don't get it.I don't know what you are talking about :-p
Dude, what? For real?http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1202292/Miranda-Kerr-reveals-just-Orlando-Blooms-keen-leave-side.html
The 26-year-old Australian is said to be the main reason actor boyfriend and Pirates of The Caribbean star Orlando Bloom will not be appearing in the next film.I say bullshit about that, he'll keep trying. If he asked a second time, and now a third, while turning down millions to be near her, he's pussy whipped.
The actor, 32, is said to have turned down the chance to reprise his role as blacksmith Will Turner in the fourth movie because he wants to spend more time with his girlfriend Miranda Kerr, 26.
She has already twice turned down his marriage proposals, but he plans to ask her again this summer.
A source told the Mail on Sunday earlier this month: ‘He has told her he wants to marry her and will propose again this summer. If she says no, he’s said it will be over.’
She's like an ugly Mila Kunis.
From what I remember hearing, he didn't want to film because then she'd be by herself, with other men.
The solid basis of any relationship.

So I almost had a brain anneurism a couple of minutes ago.... found out they are doing a live action movie of Cowboy Bebop now, with Keanu Reeves as Spike? are you fucking KIDDING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?!? why do you guys have to ruin everythiiiingggg, first Goku and now thisss?? worst part is that I found out by watching the "Hitler finds out about the DB movie" video (which btw is hilarious). WHY PEOPLE, WHY?
Not to be snarky, but the Keanu-as-Spike thing has been official for over a year.
LOL thats the video I watched! so funny!
LOL Faye. Fucking high school indeed.
Heard about the Keanu Reeves thing a while ago but it didn't bother me as much since (1) I don't like CB as much as other ppl do (2) Keanu is of mixed descent and (3) I think Spike is, too. I would've preferred a younger more Asian actor but at least (4) he's not that douchebag Shia Labeouf.
I think that would make my head explode. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't she be Asian? Meh, but with 21, Dragon Ball, Prince of Persia, King of Fighters, Avatar: TLAB... so, yeah. Faye will be played by Emma Watson. Ein will be played by a Scot Terrier.
Well hmm I dont know if she's asian in the anime but she doesn't really look asian... oh wait wasn't she supposed to be from singapore ? I think you;'re right!.... hmmm I don't know, I don't think an asian woman should play her since IMHO asian women are fugly. Then again I dont think anyone should play her unless the actress looks EXACTLY like her. hell, this anime should not be made to begin with!
Faye Valentine isn't a particularly Asian sounding name though.
LOL! she has green eyes woman! and purple hair! It says so in Wikipedia and you know if its in Wikipedia its 100% true lol
She looks pretty Asian to me. Almond eyes, dark straight hair... I don't know how much more Asian they could've made her without her look like Mickey Rooney.
Yeah, she's from Singapore. Faye Valentine was what that Guido who scammed her called her, but they had no idea what her name was.
LOL! she has green eyes woman! and purple hair!
She'd be a very successful geisha
A green eyed Asian. Lo Pan was looking for one of those.
Imma chargin mah lazor.

Don't do it.
Balboa was great. I suggest forgetting that V exists and going straight to Balboa after IV. But what about 20 years in between them.
The direct translation should be "Lend me your hand". I hate when they translate movies' names and they totally fucked up with the title. Happens in spanish aaaall the time. I go to Peru and they ask me "So did you see X movie" and im like "what??? wtf is that" and then after they explain me what the movie was about I'm like "aaaaahhh"
And then there's the weirdly titled "I Do: How to Get Married and Stay Single", which is a French movie called Prête-moi ta main but has been translated to everything from "Faux Wedding", "I Do", "Rent a Wife", and "Lend me your hand".
Yeah, "Lend me your hand" was appropriate enough. It worked in English: "lend me a hand" as in to help someone out with something and "lend me your hand in marriage", because, well, that's what happens. The other titles aren't appropriate given what occurs in the film. I don't know who they cater to when they change around titles like that. The people these title changes generally cater to don't generally watch foreign films. I mean "Pan's Labyrinth"? Pan isn't even in the thing. Bendito Infierno was changed to both Sin Noticias de Dios and "Don't Tempt Me". Blah.Wait so what was Pan's labyrinth real movie name?
The fucking faun was the fucking faun!!

First result. To quote Peaches, HUH? WHAT?
I love Alec Baldwin.
I love Alec Baldwin.
Do you love the other Baldwins as well?
Don Shula only did the '72 Dolphins. Alec Baldwin did Beetlejuice. Game fucking over.
WTF RAMA
He was the dead husband that was married to Geena Davis. Yeah, I didn't remember either.
The Cannonball Run.
I never saw the last Rambo...or the last Rocky. Although I saw parts of Rocky Balboa on cable awhile back.
I really wanted to see 4th Kind is that out on DVD already or is it still floating around in the theaters.I went to one of those streaming sites online.
I dislike Jamie Fox, yet like Ray Charles. I don't want to sully my memory of Ray with that piece of shit.
Jurassic Park 3. (should've setup an epic fourth movie dealing with Ingen's weaponization of dinosaurs)
You didn't like it?Didn't finish it. I felt bad for Ray at the beginning cause everybody was abusing him for being blind, but then he turned into an asshole and a cheater so fuck him!
Nuri, watch that movieeee its amazinggg. I thought that Thirteen was fucked up, but they are nothing compared to Precious
I watched Quantum of Solace yesterday. I hearby declare it Quantum of Ass. Daniel Craig sucks. I don't give a shit about Vesper. This movie seemed confused about what it wanted to be about. That other chick was orange and her revenge plot was retarded. Bond's brain apparently hiccups a lot. I mean, that whole boat scene was supposed to save her, right? [How did he even know she was in trouble? His motorcycle or whatever caused NO ONE to pay even the slightest attention to him, which made no sense. And then she concussed her head and could've died, but he didn't give a shit even after that entire hassle? And he needlessly made himself known to his enemies.] Other sequences make about equal sense. That Mathis guy's only purpose was to die and even then, he looked like he was gonna be okay until Bond stupidly uses him as sheild. The movie SKIPS over the information Greene gave Bond and Greene's death, which would've made a good ending. Stupid guy at the end gives all those chicks the same dime-store necklace, what a tard. It's like this was penned by some autistic man-child: "Good when things go boom!" Also, the DVD's menu is a fucking spoiler. Oh yeah, and the song. The song sounded like it could've rocked if they had brought back Chris Cornell or gotten someone like Scott Weiland or even fucking Bono to sing it. It didn't seem like a good duet song to begin with. Jack White and Alicia Keys go together like a grape jelly and bacon sandwich. Their voices being put through some cat-screech electronic mangler only made things worse.
I went to see Casino Royale part 2 yesterday. So, yeah, you pretty much have my opinion of Quantum of Solace.
There were two really cool things I appreciated about this movie. First, the nod to Goldfinger with the dead babe covered in "black gold", and, second, the return of SPECTRE in the form of Quantum. The rest I could take or leave.
I thought of some other names for the movie aside from Casino Royale 2, but they all had numbers behind them. The Transporter 4, for instance. They could have called it Joe Blow Super Spy for all it mattered, because the only thing I really felt it had in common with the franchise was the characters of Bond, M, and Felix...what there was of characterization. Either the writers are incapable of writing the Bond character or have just simply decided to forego the "prequel" idea that would involve him growing into the Bond the world knows and loves in order to make him a "modern" action star. M's not a lot more than a mother hen now, and Felix just sat there and grunted in most of his five minutes of total screen time.
The villain here was a joke, though. It was reminiscent of Licence to Kill and Tomorrow Never Dies in that regard, but instead of an ambitious drug dealer or overreaching media mogul we had a shady businessman seeking to use his business contacts and super secret spy organization to control the water supply of a third world country that inexplicably has initiated the switch to a hydrogen economy. *GAG* At least Jonathan Pierce's version of Rupert Murdoch threatened to start a nuclear conflict between China and the US.
Well, the girl was cute...too bad she didn't get more screen time. Or Ms. Fields, for that matter. I was glad they trotted out the old wetworks guy from CR, but it was too bad they just offed him so cavalierly as they did.
In the end, the movie went nowhere. It resolved or developed absolutely nothing from CR, which if they're going to put everything in continuity they should at least develop it.
Go to see it as an action flick, but don't go see it under the impression it's a Bond movie.
Strawberry fields forever (ew) was my only complaint about this movie, since she was completely unnecessary and was just fuckmeat and then a redshirt.
The whole movie showed Bond being an Angsty bitch, something which M and Montes both pointed out.
Sure, Mathis was going to die, but he had to atone for his sins in the prior film. He served as a mentor for Bond, showing him what working in that industry could do to an individual. Mathis was a danger on relying too much on his position to get what he wants, which blinded him to the true danger of the Job.
That's the only James Bond I've watched since Goldeneye. I liked the colors.
Watched Unbreakable. And then some scenes of Pulp Fiction so Samuel Jackson could redeem himself
Dude Unbreakable sucked ass! Shyamalan's movies imo should be classified like this: #1 is, of course, Signs. #2 is a tie between 6th Sense and The Village, #3------, #4------, #84 Unbreakable
Are you saying you didn't like Unbreakable? I guess not everyone can like it, but I thougt it was excellent.
No, that is just not right. I do agree that the three you mentioned should be far above some of his films, but Unbreakable was anywhere near that bad. Of course, I also liked Lady in the Water, which means I'm probably the only one.Hah I never watched that one only cause the reviews said it sucked! I have a couple of friends that were extras in that movie (since they are always filmed in Philly). Have you guys seen the commercials for the new martial arts one? looks stupid
Do you mean "The Last Airbender?" Its not really a martial arts movie (though I'm sure it has martial arts).
Its an American movie remake of the anime, "Avatar: The Last Airbender", not to be confused with James Cameron's "Avatar," of course.
I also liked "The Happening," saw it opening day, but I agree it is not one of his best. It should have been more about the damn bees. The bees dying off was WAY more interesting then the damn plants.
The Last Airbender is an anime where there are four elemental tribes, and one of them, the air tribe, isthought to bewiped out becauseit was thought thatthe next avatar would come from that tribe. Avatars are able to use all the bending magic and they tend to fight the bad guys, the fire tribe in this case. A lot of this could be wrong because I only watched the first four episodes.
I predict a total failure.
IMO: I rank them Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village... and then I stopped.
The Book of Eli is 118 minutes long.
What I've seen lately:
Ong Bak 2 - LOVED this. Tony Jaa, I <3 U.
The House on Haunted Hill - With Vincent Price. Liked it, was disappointed that it ended how it did cause I wanted more.
Elena - Based on a true story of a Greek-American whose mom is executed. Decent. Linda Hunt gets shot... :) but off-screen. :/
Rocky and Rocky II.
Molière - Awesome fucking movie.
holy fuck Ong Bak II is fucking AWESOME. He's so fucking fast sometimes I have to put it in slo mo just to know what he's doing. Nuri you surprise me, I didn't know you were the martial arts- kinda girl
Last movie I saw but wish I had not: Dragonball Evolution.
Derrick wanted to see how bad it was. Now I'm plotting between making him watch Grease with me with the condition of singing along with one song...or watching Sex and the City Movie.
I was at Blockbuster last weekend and very tempted to rent that trainwreck, but I had too many other things I wanted to see so I passed.
Make him do Grease but he's has to sing along to that Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee song.
Are you still going to see the SATC sequel?Damn straight I will! i already planned it, me and my friend are probably going to get tickets for the 12am show, just like with the 1st one.

You are not helping.
Baldwin was in Beetlejuice?
Lo Pan is awesome.
I watched the Mist. Ok movie, awesome ending
Awful movie indeed, and this is coming from someone who does fly American Airlines.Dude AA is like the worst airline EVER. I haaaate it! I remember the first time I took a flight it was an international one and yet for lunch I only got an orange and a fucking bagel. Wtf is that, I felt sooo insulted and mind you I was only 17 but I already had my fair share of flying around so I knew whatsup, and THAT definitely wasnt it.
I watched the Mist. Ok movie, awesome ending
I know a few who hate this movie, but I agree that the ending was bad ass. Most people think it was horrible, but really, how would you react if you say shit like a twenty story cthulu-oliphant hybrid walking about in front of you. You would probably do the same shit.

Wtf is that, I felt sooo insulted and mind you I was only 17 but I already had my fair share of flying around so I knew whatsup, and THAT definitely wasnt it.Well, AA is the only airline with a direct non-stop flight from Boston to Miami after 7pm. I don't know how come there aren't red-eye flights up and down the Eastern seaboard aside from AA. What's even worse now, I have almost a billion AA frequent flyer miles. Yet, I still have to pay 100 bucks to get a coach flight PLUS the FF miles.
Also, he only chatted with the pilot for like 45 seconds? He should have chatted with him waay more than that, since there's no one better than a pilot to talk about spending most of your life on a plane around the world. and how to be a hoe.
There is a spoiler tag.
I have so many miles on AA too of all the times I went to Singapore, but I've never reclaimed them. For all I know they are lost forever. Anyways why would you take a flight so late to Miami? Everytime I go I take the earliest one, that way I get there and go directly to the beach B-)

Why stay at a hotel? didnt you have an apt there?
Yesterday I saw Top Gun for the first time ever. SO.GAY.
It's dwarves lol and dwarf in singular.
Princess and the Frog has too much witchcraft? LOL! i havent watched it yet. Never watched Mulan either. I just stopped watching Disney movies after Pocahontas came out, since it sucked so much.
You did not like Cars? What the fuck?
My mom says Princess and the Frog has too much witchcraft, I say what Disney movie does not?
I like Mulan and Snow White. It is spelled dwarfs, oddly enough. Also the singular is dwarf.
Never watched Mulan either. I just stopped watching Disney movies after Pocahontas came out, since it sucked so much.
Oh shit yeahhh I watched the emperor's new groove! that movie is awesome! i love david spade so so so much :3
John Smith voiced by Mel Gibson got me through that. Hunchback is tolerable and Emperor's New Groove is decent. While I understand why people like Lilo and Stitch, I personally didn't give a damn. Everything else was stink stink stink, clunk clunk clunk. I saw Tarzan, Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Chicken Little and Bolt and they were all retarded. Mulan makes me sad because it could've been good but became racist and started sucking its own nuts halfway through. I liked Princess and the Frog though. I don't think Imma gonna like Tangled aka Rapunzel. They should've done what they did with PatF and Enchanted and moved it present day or the future or some shit. "Omg, it's a fairytale and it's goofy!" Yeah, whatever, we've all seen fucking Shrek already.
I watched The Lovely Bones the other day -_- Peter Jackson's copy of What Dreams may come.
I watched the Mist. Ok movie, awesome ending
I know a few who hate this movie, but I agree that the ending was bad ass. Most people think it was horrible, but really, how would you react if you say shit like a walking about in front of you. You would probably do the same shit.
You know what was great? Titan A.E. That shit was awesome.
Also, all of the jiggly boobs made me want Jello.Jiggly boobs you say.
Also, all of the jiggly boobs made me want Jello.Jiggly boobs you say.
Totally agree on Golden Flower. Amazing.
2012 was awesome? Was it actually?Hell yea. The best thing is that they didn't focus the movie in NY, like ALL disaster movies, but they focused it in California.
Anne Bancroft and her daughter were both extremely fuckable in that movie.The "old" woman does look good, but her fake tone of voice, to make it "sexier", annoys me. It sounds so fake.
You know what was a great movie?
The Faculty. There was this one scene where the lady splashes water on herself. If I could loop it I would.
On the Weather Channel?!
Yeah, but I'll be laughing my ass off when you are all drowning in the Tsunamis.I'm well enough inland and high enough from sea level where it's not a concern. If it's a concern for me, the whole world has issues.
I disliked the ending. OMG HIS HEART DOESN'T WORK! OMG! I WILL GIVE HIM MINE!!!
If only he would be a side character more often.Surely you are not talking about the same guy who acted as Patrick Bateman
Yub Yub forever bitches.
Did you mean Little Women? I did not see that.sorry got too excited. Yes, Little Women
She must. Bale would have been 16 when Pretty Woman came out.
I finally saw Ponyo. It lost steam for me at the end. I was glad at least someone called out that the damn fish had a fucking human face. Sheesh.DUDE PONYO IS FUCKING AMAZING. i love that darned movie. I wanted to name my baby Ponyo but her dad didnt let me do it :-(

I think I would enjoy a Mallrats 2. I do not think they should do another Clerks ... but then again I did not think the should do the second one, either, and I loved it. Plus Rosario Dawson's tits bouncing when she was teaching him how to dance was memorizing. I could watch that scene on a loop for hours. Days even, maybe weeks.I also enjoyed those nice bouncing tits. I'm pissed that Rosario had to turn down Zach and Miri because she was contracted to another, and even shittier film. If she had been in it, we would've seen Miri newd.
Moon with Sam Rockwell was amazing.
I just watched The Lakehouse and now I have a bigger crush on Keanu Reeves. Damn that Charlize Theron (sp? whatevs) is a lucky hoe
Already saw it.
I loved it!
The only review I agree with is the one that says there is and that .
I am about to go buy Iron Man minimates because I liked it so much.
The Machete trailer looked fucking preachy as fuck and it was actually pretty obnoxious. I expected that movie to be about SENSELESS VIOLENCE but now it is about IMMIGRATION. GOD DAMN IT.HATERS GONNA HATE
I enjoyed Iron Man 2. I didn't think it suffered from too many new characters (it only had three, two villians and a new hero) nor was it too confusing. Tony's Dad had a partner he kinda screwed over and the son decided to get revenge while Tony's financial competitor decides to back him. How confusing is that? Tony continues to be an amaing bastard, though I am pissed because I was told we would have cameos of Thor and Captain America in the film. Showing their weapons does not count! Having Iron Man at the end of the Hulk movie counted. BLAH!I dont know, I cant see Robert Downey Jr as a badass. He looks nerdy. And not Tobey Mcguire in Spiderman nerdy, but like Michael Cera in Superbad nerdy
Otherwise, good job. We also saw 'How to Train Your Dragon' (drive-in double feature), which was awesome. I enjoyed it. Iron Man 2 was still better.
Drive-In? Color me Jealous.
Watched The Graduate. How did Dustin Hoffman got so famous? his acting SUCKSSSS in that movie. Also, if I hear "hello darkness my old friend" one more time I'm going to kill someone
I love how the ending of Wayne's World 2 is a total spoof of this movie.
[/quote
omg yes! i totally forgot about this!
Return of the Jedi (Non-Special Edition). I watched the whole trilogy today in honor of Empire's 30th.I don't enjoy Empire as much as I used to. It feels like something is missing.
I don't enjoy Empire as much as I used to. It feels like something is missing.
just watched The Dark Crystal on mute. Never gets old. Where the Wildthings Are should have been just as good.
I love all Retard Wars movies. Some of them just not nearly as much.
What coffee mug? Yeah I thought it was going to be MIND BLOWING but it ended up being sooooo stupid. But the theory in itself is nice. Making a human centipede, ass to mouth? the guy was a genius
Human Centipede looks fucking stupid, but the coffee mug looks awesome.

I've also seen Kung Fu Hustle. The whole thing seemed kinda choppy. Like it was a bunch of TV episodes strung together.Never thought about like that. I might have to go rewatch it now.
It's a adaption of Pride and Prejudice with an Indian twist.God I hate indian movies.
Saw the last 30 minutes of the Godfather 3 . 'twas the first time in my life ive seen anything related with that trilogy. Stoopid movie is stoopid
Oh yeah and I saw the Proposal today. Expected it to be kinda crappy but it made me laugh. It gets a thumbs up. Also, Sandra Bullock's face definetely showing her age now. Still makes her better off than Ryan Reynolds who--depending on the angle--sometimes looks like Alfred E. Newman.Who cares about his face! HAVE YOU SEEN HIS BODY?? OOOOOO
Stardust came from Netflix and I watched it with my mother. I remember one of these boards, here or Bonr, saying it was a great movie. Was it an okay movie?
It's pissing me off that Karate Kid made almost twice the buck that A-Team did.
Fuck Kung Fu Kid.Mr T complained about the A-team movie saying there were too many deaths and lots of sex and that thats not how the series were. So I refuse to watch it.
A-TEAM WAS FUCKING AWESOME
This is the way you do it right, people. Observe this shit. Keep that shit as close to original material as possible and you get happy costumers.
Seriously, fucking awesome.
Rocky 5 sucked.
Mr T is great and all, and I am not surprised that a dude that shows up on bible-thumper TV channels would speak out against those sorts of things, but dude, the movie is AWESOME.
EDIT: I think he is probably just old and does not remember it right, anyway.
And man did they beat you over the head with the message. A blind deaf mute would still have got the message of the movie.

Yeah, I had enough of his pontificating to last a lifetime with the Abyss.
I saw that animated Wonder Woman thing. Not bad. Kerri Russell wasn't terrible but Marg Helgenberger really phoned her performance in. At least she only had a few lines.
Cameron is about to join Lucas, Spielberg, and Burton on the list of directors that have "Lost it".
And speaking of Burton, I saw "Alice in Wonderland." and it was so meh, I had to go to the store and buy a new bag of meh just so I could finish watching it. It didn't keep my attention at all. I kept zoning out while trying to watch it. It really focused more on strange visuals and CGI then actually trying to make a enjoyable movie.
Have you seen the Green Lantern one? I'm on the fence about that. Stuck the Batman one in my queue.
Ha ha, and when it's gone, brother, it's GONE. Seriously tho, why hasn't he joined it already? His Terminator/True Lies days are over. He's possibly doing TWO Avatar sequels. Game over, man.
Tim Burton is really relying too much on being effin' weird. Sorry buster, that doesn't replace a piss-poor story and characters.
I watched the two Robot Chicken Retard Wars specials and the third one is coming soon. I actually found these a lot funnier than Family Guy's spoofs of Retard Wars.
quit the bs fiero. it look like its going to suck, and you know it. Seth Greene (sp?) as a hero? please.
oh shoot thats right! i knewww that that last name didnt sound jewish enough.quit the bs fiero. it look like its going to suck, and you know it. Seth Greene (sp?) as a hero? please.
Ha ha, I read that as "an hero". And it's Seth Rogen. Seth Green's the skinny little Robot Chicken/Chris Griffin/Buffy Werewolf guy.
BASEketball. A cult film from the late 80s staring the creators of South Park. I actually really like this movie. It's one of my guilty pleasures.More like 90s.
And what did you think of it?Have you seen it? I don't really know what to think of it. For some reason I think its a weird movie, but not really. Is it good? it's ok.
What I'm hearing is that if you stalk and spy on a girl she'll end up loving you.
Awesome! And I already have the body glitter. Bonus!
Watched Ju On (the jap version/ original of the Grudge) and surprisingly it sucked. The american version is waaay better. It's still scary though. And no I dont like Buffy but yes I like Bill Pullman
Do you mean the original one or the americano?
The American version is not called Ju-On, so I think she means the Japanese.
I did like it. I just don't generally care for those sorts of movies. I liked it in a "well, that wasn't a total waste of time and I'm pretty entertained" kind of way. Not in a "omg, this thing rocks, imma gonna buy it and watch it again" kinda way.But...I bought it...and watched it.
How can you be surprised that a universe that has telepathic gorillas and star conquering starfish would also have giant toy robots?
...but that Superman is weak to magic.
military team
As far a Brody, since the role wasn't written for him it was just case of the heroic lead living till the end and killing the Predator. Just like Arnie. Brody wouldn't have been who I picked, but that's cause he never came across as a bad ass hero. I think he did OK role, even if he wouldn't have been my first choice. What is far more confusing is a Latina actress, with a cliche Hispanic name as a IDF solider. That was just strange.You do know a majority of Jews have Spanish names because Jews ran to Muslim Spain because they were more tolerant than the rest of Europe, right?
Last Christmas I watched Predator with Kary (it was her first time). Love that movie, but I think the second one is better.

Merla and I saw this doc on PBS the other day called "China Blue" about sweatshop jean factories in China and the shitty-ass treatment and pay.
Makes me feel so old (Shut-up Rama!!).
Saw 2012 on Demand. Where did all that water come from? Also, it felt like the Mayan stuff was forced in by the Studio.holy shit I never thought about that! global warming probs.
I still love John Cusak.
Could so be Tsunamis from large underwater quakes. Lots of crazy shit some people say could happen if it actually did take place. Then others say nothing at all would happen other then compasses would be useless.But Tsumamis wouldn't occur simultaneously all over with the volume reaching the tops of the himalayas, there's just not that much water.
I saw Inception. I might actually make a new thread or something because I have a lot to say about it. It was a pretty, shiny movie. Some scenes were awesome. The acting was top-notch. The story REALLY needed some help. Not a waste of eight dollars or whatever, but I'd rather watch the Matrix again. I think it will do good box office. Whatever further sinks Airbender is cool with me. I kinda want to see Salt but it looks like it'll get the same grade. Shit will explode, stunts will be had, and I won't give a damn either way. My God, Jolie's lips get puffier every year it seems.
The movie showed a polar flip, which is different the smaller shifts. The pole has actually moved a lot in the last hundred years. Course people think a sudden flip like they showed in the movie couldn't happen, that it would take thousands of years, but if it did it's possible the polar ice caps would melt and then refreeze someplace else. That could flood a lot of the areas shown in the movie like LA and Washington D.C. COULD, doesn't mean it would. Truth is no one really knows what would happen since it last happen before recorded history.
And maybe the Mayan stuff was forced, but the 2012 date comes from the Mayans. So if that was the title from the start, then that's what they were playing off of from the start. But a lot of thought doesn't usually go into the movies made by these guys.
...Toy Story 3. Now, I've never seen it, but I ... I just don't think I give a fuck.
How many DVDs did you sell? And why didn't you just toss in Clueless as a bonus to the last customer's purchase?Hmm lets see. I sold National Treasure, The Entity ( I might regret selling this one later), ....omg I cant remember now. Anyways they weren't that many, we are taking most of them with us.
NEVER GET RID OF CLUELESS
WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU? OH YEAH!NEVER GET RID OF CLUELESS
WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU? OH YEAH!NEVER GET RID OF CLUELESS
I'm sorry some woman took it today (finally!). I want to see Inception but I'm waiting for someone to put it up online
Kick-Ass. It was pretty good. But don't get fooled by the title, this movie is really about Hit Girl.
I put Under the Red Hood in my queue but it's one of those that takes a while before Netflix can send it. Or whatever. It isn't Conroy anyway so I don't care about waiting.
They didn't really try to hide who the Red Hood was, but in the end it didn't matter. They mystery of the Hood wasn't the point of the movie. It was strange to hear Bender as The Joker though.
You get over 9000 pellets, my man. OVER. 9000.
Watched The Bounty Hunter. omg I cant believe that piece of crap was more than 2 hours long.Jennifer Aniston's vagina is smelly.
I'd like to go for the bonus Alex!
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Devoured the books. Fell in love with Lisbeth both in print and on screen, which is rare. :love:

ENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNVY! I've had that at the top of my queue forever now and it's "very long wait". Which really stinks because I wanted to see the sequel but don't want to jump in out of order.
Why do I get pinched? I never said you had to see it. :(
I finished Green Lantern: First Flight. It was really good.

David Fincher is set to direct a Hollywood adaptation of the book, for release in December 2011.[11] According to The Guardian, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Brad Pitt were all interested in playing the central role of Mikael Blomkvist, but Daniel Craig was officially confirmed as the lead in July.[12] Twilight's Kristen Stewart and Juno's Ellen Page have expressed interest to play Lisbeth Salander, as well as Carey Mulligan. Also, Emma Watson of the Harry Potter films was said to have chopped her hair off in the hope of getting the role. It is not yet clear which actress will be hired for the role. Producer Søren Stærmose of Yellow Bird, who holds the screen rights to the books, has been approached by directors including Quentin Tarantino, Ridley Scott, and Martin Scorsese.[13][14] On December 16, 2009 leading Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet reported that Sony Pictures Entertainment are in final negotiating with Yellow Bird about the film rights according to Yellow Bird Managing Director Mikael Wallén. Steve Zaillian has been in discussions to adapt the first book.[15][16] [17]
Speaking of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, why did Edgar Wright have to go and say the movie takes place in Scott's imagination? That one statement kinda ruins the whole movie for me.Because it's hipster bullshit?
1. People over 30 don't get it. "Seriously, you're out there working for a living, you've got two screaming kids, do you really want to go spend your hard-earned money watching a kid whine about how he has to be in bands and stuff and hang out a lot? ...for the most part it's happy to be about lazy, narcissistic, 20-year-old hipsters. And if you're over 30, that just ain't cool.
2. People under 30 don't get it. "The film is steeped in video game culture which, while that might seem like something the kids can latch on to, in this case isn't. ... 20-year-old hipsters weren't even born back when me and my now thirty-something friends first dragged out all the cables to hook our first ever Nintendo up to the television for a round or two of Duck Hunt."
3. Geeks don't get it. "And maybe geeks do read the comic its based on, but Scott Pilgrim is not exactly a geek film. This is a movie about a slacker musician who's biggest problem is choosing which of the two hot girls he's dating he most wants to sleep with. "
4. People hate Michael Cera. "The box office performance of his films has grown progressively worse since Superbad, almost in concert with the number of angry “I hate hipsters” comments sure to be left on any internet story invoking his name. Scott Pilgrim just had the misfortune to be there at the place where the whole Michael Cera thing all bottomed out."
5. It's a musical w/o music. "Even if you didn't realize that's what Wright was doing with the movie" [using fights instead of musical numbers for the same purpose], "the same things which people hate about musicals are present in the trailers and, whether they knew it or not, probably had a hand in keeping them away. ... Normally that's ok since there's a dedicated crowd of moviegoers who do get it, and show up for a musical anyway, but the musical moviegoer isn't showing up for a fight movie and neither did anyone else."
I see you. 0_0
WTF are you talking about?? that piece of shit will smith dared to call karate kid is a joke. I think I'm going to get an aneurism right now.
Karate Kid- better than the original but that's not saying much.
it wasn't that bad. it wasn't bad at all really but whatever.

I can not remember, did you watch it?

I can't imagine any sequel/remake being better than the original.
PARAGRAPH.
Ponyo - It was okay, but kinda rushed and meh at the end. Daddy wizard was planning on destroying mankind and having Precambrian nature take over the planet, is that plan off now that Ponyo has a future husband? Or is flooding half the dry land on the planet good enough? Is any of that water going to recede? What about people's possessions, now drowned? What about people's flooded houses? What about the rest of the world... is Tokyo and New York and LA and Mumbai and Amsterdam now underwater? Is the moon going to kamikaze the earth still? Answers dammit.
I'm working my way through the LotR trilogy extended editions and all the supplimentary material. Fellowship and Towers are watched along with all the behind the scenes stuff for Fellowship. Next comes the extras for Towers, then I move on to Return. After that's done, I'll watch all three with each of the 4 commentary tracks.
It's a bit crazy how much material they crammed on these discs.
He just likes it because, well you know. Which is why we hate it.LOL I didn't want to say it but that's what I thought too!
MACHETE, however, I did intend to watch and it fucking delivers. It was exactly what I expected, making fun of extremes, pretty sweet knife fighting, chaingun on a motorcycle.
Do you feel sad that George Clooney's movie got more money than Machete? Cause I sure do. I can't stand his suave ass for anything. Angry mexican all the way! Also I'll be waiting for a torrent since movies arrive in Japan like 2 years after they come out in the US.
Well, see, this is a prime reason Nuri should give my post editing rights back. I totally fucked up that last post. And instead of being able to fix it, now you'll have to look at my horrible error for all eternity and suffer!!! :razz: >:D
I love Clooney. He was amazing in the Men who Stare at Goats.
Today I watched Obsessed. Good movie , but you can see that it was obviously produced by Beyonce. I hate the "powerful woman" parts in it. too much, Beyonce tries to look like a badass.
Well they did say that people had doubts about him telling the truth since he had a past history of screwing around with his secretaries (Beyonce was his secretary before they got married, remember?).
And yes Fiero, it sucked balls.
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse - Quick thoughts.
- I miss Michael Ironside. This Darkseid kinda blows.
- The character design styles are weird. I'm sure they look good in a comic, but the faces and bodies seemed pretty stiff animated.
Yeah, Andre Braugher voice isn't deep enough for Darkseid but he is a really good actor.
the character models were based on Michael Turner's art. He learned to draw figures by looking at super models. So, yeah I guess his designs translated to animation would look alittle stiff.
I thought the movie itself was just ok. This story doesn't deserve to be a movie. They might have been better off just making up a story if they just wanted to another Superman/ Batman movie.
Well don't worry, Michael Turner is DEAAAAAAAAAAAD!
Speaking of dead, what happened to Mr. Miracle?
There are far greater offenders to show in film school to show what "Not" to do, then Iron Man 2. And I can say that without having seen Iron Man 2.
Transformers 1-3 maybe?

Sounds like you should go watch Iron Man 2.
Though to clarify, I wasn't saying Iron Man 2 should be shown to film students because it's so fucking horrible i.e. the worst offender. I don't believe it is. I'm saying it be shown to students because under the bad stuff was the bones of good flick and all of the crap ruined what should've been on par with the first Iron Man which--despite my issues with it particular to the treatment of women--was a very decent movie.
And yes Fiero, it sucked balls. It got to the point that I was thinking they looked pathetic (except my gurl Samantha of course). And i LOVE SATC but I'll just stick to the series and pretend the movies never existed.
And how come when a naked lady shows up it's always some guy going "Hey baby! Come on over here" and never a concerned guy going "What happened to your cloths? Are you alright?" It never is.
Stupid me for expecting a character in a movie to actually have something to do with the movie they are in. I don't know what I was thinking.

Though I do get your point and agree that, yeah, we want to see Iron Man beating the crap out of other ferro-people.
That Bird shit was all Mickey Rourke's idea. They caved in and let him throw that in, and it was stupid. It's almost as hard to believe that Rourke was physicists in this, as it was that Denise Richards was in "The World Is Not Enough."
Lies! You wouldn't wear skinny jeans if you had balls. Physically impossible.He can. They'd just recess into the body. You know, like babies
Battlestar Galactica: Razor. Watching this just reminds me how much I miss this show. Caprica just isn't as good and I don't watch that. I also got this four bucks.
The Expendables. Funny in some parts, good action but most of the movie is about how badass Sylvester Stallone can be, even though hes old as fuck. Also, some things dont make sense.
Only Sylvestr Stallone would hire the guy who played the russian in Rocky 4 to be in that movie with him. I was expecting Mr T and Apollo too
My penis was in a lot of action movies and yet it wasn't in that movie. NOW WHAT?!
Dolph Lundgren has been in way more action movies than Mr T or Carl Weathers. The point was to have action stars, and that guy did a lot of action movies (just not many hits).
Carl Weathers should've made a cameo selling popsicles. Then his arms should've fallen off, cut off by a ninja wielding popsicles sticks.Did anyone see Carl Weathers' appearance in Arrested Development? it was hilarious.
IT Crowd.
I saw it Faye Faye. Loved it.
I had fun so f u
She'll laugh and then take a bite of her Siberian Tiger burger.
I've heard something similar but I don't know where.Me, I said before it tasted like pork.
wtf is going on? is this a viral thing like the new haircut one?
NO! Go to the real thing (http://www.rentistoodamnhigh.org/). It's funny on its own. And you should indulge yourself by watching the Youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4o-TeMHys0#) of his part in the gubernatorial debate.
There is a sequel, as well.
I watched the Knight's tale and it sucked ass.
Was that the one about Hogan from Hogan's Heroes?wtf ? lol
you fail, she never says those words in that order!
You should ashamed that you know that.
you fail, she never says those words in that order!
Actually she does. And I can post the screen grabs with subtitles to prove it. I went back and checked cause I was sure she did, and sure enough that's exactly what she says and in that order.

PICS OR GTFO. Actually , forget pics i want the video
Chris races up the stairs and runs to Regan's room.
REGAN
No! Please! No!
Chris opens the door and sees objects rapidly flying around the
room. We hear a last gasp scream from Regan until Chris turns to
Regan and covers her mouth with horror.
REGAN/DEMON
Let Jesus fuck you!
Regan has the crucifix gripped in her hand and is plunging it
into her bloodied vagina. There are fresh cuts all over her face,
streaming with blood.
REGAN/DEMON
Let Jesus fuck you! Let him fuck you!!!
Chris runs over to Regan and tries to pry the crucifix from her
hand. They struggle for the crucifix. Regan then grabs Chris'
head and pushes it into her bloodied crotch.
REGAN/DEMON
Lick me! Lick me!
me?
There wasn't nearly as much Megan Fox as the preview let on.
I added Scott Pilgrim to my NF queue but it's one of those titles where you have a wait a month until it's available.OMG PLEASE NURI DONT WATCH THAT PIECE OF SHIT. I WATCHED IT YESTERDAY THROUGH LIVESTREAM AND I SWEAR GOD I RAGED SO MUCH I THINK I GOT ULCERS. its like hipsters heaven, i fucking hate it.
Oh wow, Faye Caps Rage. :lol:
I rewatched Chasing Amy. Heads and tails way above Mallrats but now that I've seen it again, the ending's actually pretty shitty. And the beginning's much better than the rest of the film.
Oh wow, Faye Caps Rage. :lol:Its cause of that damn movie. its so terrible it made me think about how fucked up the world is becoming. who could spend money going to the theater to watch this crap? YA RLY.

Except Ed Norton's career didn't follow Chris Farley to the grave.
I can't see ENG all the way through either. Even though I like him in it... I just can't.
Now, now, don't be a sad llamer.
However, the one I was trying to figure out the most was the villain, Godfried. No wonder. The guy who plays him, Mark Strong (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0835016/), seems to enjoy being typecast as the antagonist.
He played the villain in Sherlock Holmes. He played the villain in Kick-ass. He played the evil prince in Stardust. And he's playing the villain Sinestro in the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
I saw most of Tangled. So... animation looks good. Character designs were hit and miss for me. Backgrounds looked great. Music was decent. Voices were good. I dunno, the jokes kinda sucked. It had a lot of "been there, done that" to it. I was tired of "Flynn Ryder"--shit, that sounds like a pr0no name--taking over the movie. And it was like they couldn't decide on his name. He looked gay. And like a douche bag. I commend them for trying to give him a personality but his fell flat for me. This movie should've been called "Rapunzel" and it should've been Rapunzel's movie. The horse got on my nerves. I'm sure the kiddies love this and that's what counts. To me, it's like "Beauty and the Beast" mated with "Shrek" and this is their bastard child. Also, I liked Rapunzel's hair at the end. Speaking of which, the parents were asking for it. I mean, that bad chick just wanted to be young and she found the flower first. It was her's. She was minding her own damn business. But hell, the queen's sick. So when the rich and powerful get sick, they should be allowed to take whatever they want without a care in the world. And lame stabbing was lame.
I wanna watch that movie! I also want to watch Toy Story 3 but I'm a dilemma, since my husband want to watch it too but I don't wanna baw like a little biatch in front of him (and everybody tells me they cried when they watched it). And I'd feel guilty if I watched it by myself :(
Why can't you cry in front of your husband? If you can't cry in front of your husband, then you two have issues.
If you've farted in front of him, you can cry in front of him.
But ... he's your husband. If you should feel comfortable crying in front of anyone, it's the man you intend to spend the rest of your life with and raise children with and all the other "with"s that might apply.I have no problem crying in front of him for anything BUT a fucking movie. Oh god no. Not even in front of my father. I just hate it.
Legend of Guardians- Fucking awesome! Lots of action, great animation but a cookie cutter storyline. I don't why people hate on Zack Snyder so much. Besides from Watchmen all of his movies have been great but I guess haters are gonna hate.
I thought it was ok. A lot of the cool moments from the book were rushed and there's a whole lot of bad acting going on.
I still don't trust Nolan. I didn't like Batman Begins. The Dark Knight was good mostly because of the Joker. I think that had more to do with Heath Ledger than Nolan's directing.
It is more difficult to pick out the retards in a group of retards though.
Boo on you for not liking it! Boo I say! Although I do think it would have been better without Micheal Cera. I agree with you on that.
I saw Tron today...They were only showing it 3D. Which was bullshit, but it's a long trip to the movie theater from my house and so I saw it anyway. The glasses where all messed up and gave me a massive headache. Actually it might be my eyes and not the 3D that wasn't working right, but all I saw were 3D elements that didn't combine right and it looked like there was a glare on the screen all the time. The most impressive 3D was actually in the preview for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. But there was lots of sword pointing there.
And about 30 mins of this movie wasn't even in 3D. I didn't even put my glasses on till he got to Tron world. They tried to do this whole Wizard of Oz thing where all the real world stuff was in 2D and Tron world stuff was in 3D. So I just pushed my glasses up on my head till the screen got fuzzy.
The movie wasn't bad...it was fun to look at, but predictable. We weren't trying to shatter the mold story wise. The CGI young Jeff Bridges was good...at a distance, if he didn't talk. Problem was there was like a bunch of close ups and he talked constantly. So it was real clear it was CGI when he did that. And Tron was barely in this thing at all...the guy who played Tron was in the movie a lot, but just not as Tron. BAH! The Light Fighter where cool though.
The major thing I didn't like about Scott Pilgrim was Cera as the lead. How someone that dorky and shy can suddenly do kung-fu and kick everyone's ass is beyond me.
And then there was Ramona. She's hot in the movie. But then I look up her info online, and she suddenly becomes not hot:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935541/
http://www.google.com/images?q=Mary+Elizabeth+Winstead&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=GgwUTdewCJrtnQfK1rGQDg&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CC8QsAQwAA&biw=950&bih=639
Okay, some of those pictures are kinda hot, like the third one. But she ends up looking like a generic run of the mill supermodel. Nothing special, nothing I can't find at Miss USA or Playboy.
that better dont be some spoiler up there, Nuri. I skipped it just to besafe.

I certainly have no plans to.
I watched Aladdin and was shocked to find--and I can only assume this comes from being 30 now--that Robin Williams really gets on my fucking nerves. He never did before. And I was left speculating why the hell Disney was so keen to get the duder from Full House to voice the main character when that guy was never particularly famous and wasn't good enough to sing the part. Also, A Whole New World in Greek is awesome.

The Black Swan. Fucking awesome movie, i n every sense of the way. Thinspiration at its best. I feel like a fat whale now.

What? WHAT?
Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman, two of my favorite female actresses (mostly Mila, really), doing naughty lesbian stuff?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!
*runs to car and drives to movie theater at mach 1*
In any case I went and saw Tron 3D.
I think the 3D movies are becoming too gimmicky. Too many movies are coming out as 3D, and many of them should have never seen the light of day. Step up 3D was a prime example of why a large group of people in Hollywood should be tortured in a concentration camp. Next thing you know we'll have 3D romance comedies.
That said, the last 3D movie I saw was Avatard, and I figured that this is Tron and deserves to be seen in 3D. Frankly, after seeing it, I think I may have enjoyed it better in 2D. In fact, all the real world scenes were 2D, only the virtual scenes were 3D. And there were some bits where someone shot something at the camera so it popped out at us.
Also the trailers were in 3D. Like POTC 4.
The movie itself was a bit bland. The special effects and visuals were pretty and shiny and interesting. The plot kinda sucked. It was one of those "We have to get to X through enemy territory" kind of things. There was a portal to the real world. There were plenty of enemies between them and the portal. They had to get there to escape and save the world. They never did explain why the portal to the real world was so far. I assume it was so the programs couldn't get to it, but then why was there a TRAIN going to it??? How could the bad guy get to it so easily?!
And then there was the subplot of the villain being a tyrant, and committing genocide of poor innocent programs, and planning on taking over the real world. Explain to me how a program would escape a virtual world and enter the real world? And explain to me how he would rule the world with his tiny ass army?
There was no tension, there was no sense of dread or danger, and the main character was an obnoxious, cocky, typical 20ish character with no flaws and the ability to learn everything in 5 seconds. God damn, Hollywood needs to stop making characters like that.
So yes, the plot and characters failed. Except for that pale ass guy who ran the nightclub at the top of the city. He was cool. Also, Daft Punk was the DJs in that scene, which was awesome.
They did explain why it was so far. It was inside the digital city, which was controlled by young Jeff. Old Jeff escaped the city and lived on a cliff in digital country.Not really. Unless the city encompasses the city and everything around it. The Portal did seem like it was "IN" the city, until they hopped on the train and flew over canyons and mountains to get to it. Not to mention flying an airplane there.

Another thing that bugged me, and maybe Jeff's character acted this way in the first movie, but he acted like a damn washed out hippy the whole movie, with "dude" this and "dude" that all over the place. It got annoying fast.
I LOVE YOU'VE GOT MAIL. I have it on dvd and i watch it aaaaaall the time! Oh you reminded me I watched Sleepless in Seattle on the plane :3
Yo did you guys know Mila Kunis was blind from one eye for a loooong time till 2 months ago? I wanna watch Black Swan again just to see if it shows lol
Swollen cornea or something like that
Why was she blind in one eye?
Not a movie, but I watched the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget. Stamos frenching Cloris Leachman = hot.
The A-Team. Still like this movie, don't care what anyone says.
I saw it twice in theaters. Haven't picked up the DVD yet, though.
I watch almost everything online. The quality has improved a lot over the years, so if you have a decent connection (haha Rama fail :)) then you never need to buy a DVD ever again except to help out the ones you like.
I saw The Shop Around the Corner, the movie that You've Got Mail was based on. (Although both owe their existence to an earlier play, some lines were lifted directly from TSATC and I tend to think they originated in that particular adaptation since I'm not certain the original play was even in English.) Anyway, it actually had some lol moments, but given there's a suicide attempt due to an infidelity and the male love-interest plays a rather mean joke on the leading lady near the end, I have to say it's sure as hell not better than YGM.

You son-of-bitch!!!
Anyway I got this weird thing about actually having something in my hands. I don't read books or comics online either. If I really want to read a comic I usually pick up TPB.
It sounds cute!
Re: Faye & The Shop Around the Corner, the movie has James Stewart and Magaret Sullavan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shop_Around_the_Corner
Annie? Like, Little Orphan Annie?Yes, Little -the-sun-will-come-out-tomorrow-Annie.
I didn't know Wilsmif's kid was white with red hair...
Forgot to add. Now Will Smith is in talks to do a remake of Annie, and guess who the fuck is going to be Annie? YES, HIS FUCKING DAUGHTER. FUCK EVERYTHING.
Goddamn I hate Will Smith, I got 2 ulcers from just writing this
Have you watched it yet? It might not be that bad.
Then it was time for Yojimbo. I've never seen an entire Kurosawa flick before, and this seemed as good as any to start with. A little long in the tooth, and it dragged in parts but overall I liked it enough to consider checking out some of his other stuff. The swordplay is hilarious, but it gets the point across.
I was going to tell you what it was all about, but I'm lazy and going to let Wikipedia do it for me.Then no I haven't seen it. If you like samurai movies there's a set called ...shit I forgot I'll get the name later. But anyways its about a blind samurai that goes around getting into problems. Its funny too. I know they had it in hulu
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yojimbo_%28film%29
...the three episodes of Young Justice so my roommate might decide he wants to watch it....
The first two episodes are the 'premier' event that aired in December. Third episode aired last week.
nm the name is Satoichi!
Is it the classic Zatoichi and not the lame Beat Takeshi update?Clasic
I remember rewatching Johnny Mnemonic not long ago and noticing for the first time that Beat Takeshi is the leader of the yakuza. Or whatever those dudes were. Japanese organized criminals, must have been yakuza, right?
Madmen of Mandoras. AKA: They Saved Hitler's Brain.
Tremors. Jurassic Park.
American Psycho
Everytime someone says Kevin Smith the only one that comes up to my mind is delicious Hades, RIP.
OH SHIT you are right! poor dude. poor delicious dudeEverytime someone says Kevin Smith the only one that comes up to my mind is delicious Hades, RIP.
He was Ares (and also Iphicles). Hades was a different dude.
And part of Red Shoes but I got kind of bored.
176 hours (or was it 172??) with James Franco. It's an ok movie for such a great actor, I almost fainted near the end
No response on Facebook.
Rama. Have you seen Computer Beach Party?
Last Action Hero
JCVD
Snore.
I'm not watching a movie. I am watching Scrubs. It's still dumb, but yet I continue to watch it.House> Scrubs
Dougie Houser M.D. > House & Scrubs Combined :poo:
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and All-Star Superman
5 fucking stars two thumbs up and a buy it NOW!
I watched half of Machete last night. Mexploitation! Fuck whitey!
Dude, you don't know why he says, "dude"? Duuuuuuude.I just noticed this.

Big Trouble in Little China.
Yup. Just checked. It's still a classic.
a digimon takes over the internet and now a family of anglo japanese people must save the world.

Sounds like a thanks-but-no-thanks for me.
Over the Sarlac pit, they had this thing where all the characters nodded at each other for about 5 god damn minutes.
I heard that "family movie review websites" (read: Christian websites trying to tell you what movies are bad for your soul) were complaining that Ringo had tobacco use. And half the shit from Bugs Bunny and Loony Tunes didn't?
The Men Who Stare At Goats. This movie is just awesome. I'm loving this movie. Oh and third Ewan McGregor movie in less then three days that wasn't a SW movie.
The movie had a lot of potential that I believe was wasted.
Watching Boondock saints 2. This is really shitty compared to the first one. It has a few moments where it seems it's the same writers (I haven't looked to see if it actually is). I can't recommend watching this to anyone.
Someone brought this up, but I haven't had a chance to watch the movie again.
People are saying the top is his totem instead of hers, but in the last scene he is not wearing his wedding ring. Supposedly in every other scene where you know for sure it is reality he is also not wearing his wedding ring. Can anyone confirm that?
The movie had a lot of potential that I believe was wasted.
Amen, I had such high hopes for that movie. Inception should have been The Matrix times ten.
Stan Helsing.
Shit.
That is all.
But couldn't you say the same for most of the stuff you watch? I know I could. Generally I'd rather spend free time watching something I haven't seen before. There are exceptions.
Such as The Fifth Element. Any time I'm flipping channels and that's on, I'll watch it. I love that movie. It's just so fucking weird, it never ceases to amaze me that it actually exists.
But couldn't you say the same for most of the stuff you watch? I know I could. Generally I'd rather spend free time watching something I haven't seen before. There are exceptions.
Jay and Silent Bob has it's moments, but it does lack the edge that the other movies have. Seem he was going for that more mainstream feel. It is the only Viewaskiverse movie I don't own though...so I must agree with you.
In February 2010 Will Smith announced that he will produce[2] and star in the remake of the film which is planned for a 2011 release.[3]
Unless a new movie has some lure like an actor/actress, a setting, a director, or some interesting plot point I'd like to see, I have no reason to watch it. Not even when I'm bored. I can tell most of the time when I like something or not by the synopsis. [Dump most movies on this alone.] Or I'll go read spoilers if the synopsis is somewhat interesting to see if I really want to commit the time.

It is now the only Kevin Smith movie I DO own. And probably the one I've seen the most.
I shouldn't have looked...
Godzilla: Final Wars
I like this one...they didn't fuck around and give us a shit load of story about some swinging bachelor and the whiny/bossy girl that he'll end up with at the end like a lot of Zilla movies. We get right into Monster destroying stuff within the first 15 mins. And damn are there a lot monsters in this one. I'm use to like 4 at most. This one has like 15 in it.
oprah?

I expected better from a Nick Frost/Simon Pegg joint.
lol i didnt know they even made one.Yes they did, with Mila Kunis. She was definitely not the good one for the role. Oh and William Shatner who was as awesome as always
It's on Netflix, that's where I watched it. They also have every season of Red Dwarf. I think I got to six and then I started having problems with it.
Now I have Dark City rented and ready to watch because I keep hearing very good things about it.
And then I saw God on Trial, which is a PBS Masterpieces tv movie based on a legend that in Auschwitz some Jews put God on trial for breaking his covenant with them.

MST3K Fans should know this woman. Shitty way to go, but better than, say, being shot by navy seals.
But you have to admit there was a season or two where it just fell apart for awhile. I still haven't gone back to get past those parts. The early seasons are pure gold.

If it was really in her honor, you'd put the DVD under some old mail and dig it out to watch a year later.
Certainly you also have Attack of the 50-Foot Woman?
Mean Girls
I heard with Norton it wasn't a money thing, but a control thing. That Norton wanted a lot of say in the Avengers movie and they already had too many hands in the pot as is. Maybe he just dared to disagree with the great and all powerful Whedon, and thus had to go.
Mean Girls
Is it okay for guys to like this movie? Because I don't like it...
I FUCKING LOVE IT!
I saw Fearless with Jet Li.
I'm iffy on if I'll see Thor. Ironman 2 was so much disappoint, I'm not sure I trust Marvel movies as of late. The previews didn't really impress me either.
Donnie Darko. Never seen it before and was less then impressed with it as a whole, but the pay off made it worth it in the end.

Pirates!
I will say that I enjoyed it more than 2 and 3, but less than the original. Still, it was mostly entertaining. I wouldn't be offended if they decided to do more, which is probably inevitable.

Really? I haven't fallen asleep at the movies since King Kong. And while I hated Pirates 3, it was atleast wasn't this boring.
Did anyone catch the trailer for that Hugh Jackman Rock Em Sock Em Robots movie?

Watching Superman Batman Apocalypse
Everything was fine until I heard Darkseid's voice.
It's just some black guy talking. That's what they came up with for his voice.
The writing and voice for batman are awesome though so I'm going to keep watching.

If you're thinking The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians, it was Frank Welker. He used his Dr. Klaw from Inspector Gadget/multiple evil ghosts from Real Ghostbusters/non-altered Soundwave voice for his Darkseid.
But that flick should have been called Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. The guy was barely in it.
Hangover 2.
It was just aight for me, dawg. I think I may have laughed out loud once, the rest were mild snickers and grins.
I don't know why people think Hangover 1 was funny . It wasn't. Maybe I have to get high next time I watch that for it to be funny.
One Hour Photo. Fucking amazing, not many thrillers in which you end up feeling bad for the "bad " guy. Robin Williams is amazing
DO IT, WATCH IT NOW. NOW. GO.One Hour Photo. Fucking amazing, not many thrillers in which you end up feeling bad for the "bad " guy. Robin Williams is amazing
I can't believe I still haven't watched that. I really enjoy when comedic actors try a different sort of role. Which is why Endless Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Punch Drunk Love rank in my favorite movies. Robin Williams in that role has to be incredibly interesting.
X-Men: First Class! Fucking great movie! I still can't believe it!
X-Men: First Class! Fucking great movie! I still can't believe it!
Are you shittin' me? It looks like all sorts of wrong! You mean to say you enjoyed this?
See, I don't get that. My cousin was saying something about everyone online being in love with X2, and I was like, "What? Why?"
I liked the first X-Men movie. Everything between that and First Class was garbage as far as I'm concerned.
I'm assuming the upcoming Wolverine movie scraps everything that happened in Origins, because First Class is a raging maelstrom of retcon.
Fright Night.
The Thing
Btw they are doing a prequel and its coming out this year. Surpisingly, no one from the Smith family will be in it
Saw First Class yesterday and thought it fucking blew.
Better than the last 2 X-men movies atleast.
Good. Be sure and let us know if it sucks major ass so we don't all waste our money on it.
I'll never forgive TF for the huge glut of useless crappy humans that had no business being in a movie that should've been primarily about sentient robots. Also, "what's crackin', lil bitches". No, son. No. :nono:
Phantom Menace I actually didn't think was too terrible when I first saw it. I think in part I because I just thought of it as "okay, this is kinda odd but it's building into something great, you'll see" and then the great part never happened. EVER. :mad:

2nd Unit Camera guy is an epileptic. Who are you to say he doesn't have a right to work just like the rest of us!
They can deprive us of sinestro all they want. Because most of us have no fucking clue who sinestro is. Us being the general public.
So I saw Green Lantern and I can say that it was okay, I'd even pay to watch it again.
The screening was actually in 3D, which worried me but not for long. This had some of the best 3D effects I've seen in a movie. I think Hollywood is starting to reach a smart point with the 3D effects. Subtle effects work even better than extreme in your face ones, and this movie did a good job of a mix of both.
Now, enough about the effects. The story was somewhat mediocre at best, but worked for what it was. It didn't try to be more than just another comic book movie, so I think they were able to set the tone well for the mixed target audience they have. The main villain, Parallax and his little buddy Hector Hammond definitely differed from their comic storyline (which didn't really relate to each other), but in a way that didn't feel inexcusably forced. Most of the Green Lantern designs that I originally hated looked much better in motion, such as Kilowog. Sinestro was a strong point of the film and a bonus scene during the credits show his path will go down the one you expect it to if you know anything of the Green Lantern mythos (a scene which I proclaimed was in ways better than the entire film). A couple of plot points hinged on things that didn't really make sense to me (Hal asks the Guardians for help to save the humans, and then asks permission to defend Earth on his own, which is something he shouldn't have to do as it lies in the sector he is supposed to be defending) and some others that are a bit more of a spoiler to discuss. Many of the characters were written well, and matched their comic personalities. Hector Hammond (who again, should have nothing to do with Parallax or the 'yellow powet of fear') was better characterized than I expected, his extreme jealousy showing even while possessed.
Sadly, the two disappointing characters were in the main cast: Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris. Hal started the film as cocky as he should be, but then his required daddy dying flashback and pretty much pusses out for most of the film, occasionally showing how courageous he is, but mostly being a big fat wuss who cries about how the ring shouldn't have chosen him. He had done this at some point during the comics, but he wasn't such a fucking baby about it. I think they took some inspiration from a Kyle Rayner storyline for that, which is also dumb because fuck that. Carol was closer to right, I think. She gets pissed off at Hal when he does something dumb, but when she finds out he turned into a glowing space cop and saved the world, it was if he never did a stupid, inconsiderate, asshole thing to her before. Granted, the biggest thing they referenced was him forgetting her birthday, which really isn't that fucking bad, but whatever. His biggest fuckup actually happens in the movie (along with the aforementioned pussyfying flashback, but it works out fine and that being a fuckup pretty much doesn't matter.
Again, I would pay to watch it again, even with 3D surcharges. Ryan Reynolds did better than I though he would as Hal, and I still think Nathan Fillion would have made more sense, and had more of the voice that I hear in my head for Hal, but I can live with. Hopefully they'll get his characterization right in the next film if one comes (I fully expect it). All the aliens were well done with some unimportant exceptions of characters that they did things that I was disappointed with (re: killing them, but someone has to die for there to be a real threat, right?).
I'll give it a 6.9/10.
Of the comic book movies I've seen so far this year, I'd rate them so:
Thor 9/10
X-Men: First Class 7/10
Ugh. Man, you're right. I'll never understand that school of thought, because I'm the exact opposite. If I really want to like something and it lets me down, I fucking reject it outright.Cognitive dissonance! You're predisposition to like something increases when you've already made a financial investment. Ideas are hard to change.
It's like if I buy a game for $60 and it sucks, I'll be pissed. But then there are people who will convince themselves the game isn't that bad... because they paid $60 for it.
I'll never forgive TF for the huge glut of useless crappy humans that had no business being in a movie that should've been primarily about sentient robots. Also, "what's crackin', lil bitches". No, son. No.WTF? Shia is great!
This last question will cement whether aDam is insane or not.
Did you think shia was good in Indy 4?
QuoteI'll never forgive TF for the huge glut of useless crappy humans that had no business being in a movie that should've been primarily about sentient robots. Also, "what's crackin', lil bitches". No, son. No.WTF? Shia is great!
If you liked Goonies,
ET,
Gremlins,
and Cloverfield this movie is for you.
This last question will cement whether aDam is insane or not.Oh man... tough question. Shia is good, but that movie is so horrible. I can't seem to seperate the performance from the movie in my mind. I'd have to rewatch. Generally though, he's always excellent. He was not the problem with that movie. I have 3 Mutt Williams toys...
Did you think shia was good in Indy 4?
Goonies, ET, Gremlins, and CloverfieldET sucks. That alien has to be retarded. How exactly is this a member of a space farring race? Imagine a human in his place. Imagine Captain Jean Luc Picard. He's on an alien planet, and a child of the race of the planet he's surveying, and should have knowledge of, shows up. He hides in stuffed toys, freaks out and knocks shit over in a shed. Does reason win him over and get him to come out? No no no... this advanced being is lured by little chocolate treats. Imagine a Jean Luc Picard, knowledgeable of the hostile environment he's in, throwing caution to the wind because of a trail of alien candies, but otherwise being a stupid bitch. Fuck that movie.
I always got the impression that ET was also a kid.That's a pretty colossal fuck up on his parents' part to leave him there!
Black Plague, with Sean Bean! Not terrible for something so under the radar.Oooooh, I totally hated that movie.
...and Cloverfield?
and Cloverfield?
...and Cloverfield?and Cloverfield?
yeah...the alien looked like the Clovefield alien's little brother.
Revenge of the Sith.
Last Man Standing.
Just another remake of Yojimbo starring Bruce Willis. At least this one gave credit to Kurosawa, unlike Fist Full of Dollars.
...I got to learn some lantern lore which was fun
You can with your foot.?

Dark of the Moon!
Too long. But it was entertaining.
The rest is bullshit. and to all of those people who loved this movie fuck you.
I am trying to draw a floor plan of the Addams Family house.
I have never seen that. Should I?
'Transformers' at the top of the heap again with $47 million
No it's a good thing. It needs to be seen as a money maker.
Because years from now someone will reboot transformers properly ala batman begins.
No it's a good thing. It needs to be seen as a money maker.Wow. This is absurd. I like to remind people who bitch about Michael Bay that the alternative isn't to have Christopher Nolan direct. It's to have Paul W. S. Anderson, Stephen Sommers or Uwe Boll direct. It's Transformers. It's not pulling in major bucks because of the amazingness that was established in the 80s. It's pulling in major bucks because Michael Bay made it into something marketeable.

What I'm seeing from non-fans who love the movies is that they love watching big-ass robots blowing shit up...not because they love Sam's folks, not because Shia's so funny, not because of the love story, not because of the military. A little T&A didn't hurt, either.
Sorry, what I should have said is that's what I'd like to see happen. There's precedent for it in both the cartoon and comics, and I thought it worked well in both.
No more human soldiers emasculating Decepticons, thanks.
I should also add that I enjoyed all three movies to varying degrees, the second being the lowest on the totem pole, obviously, but the third still had more than a few elements I could have done without.
And they could add Headmasters and shit like that.
The Hobbit: Still pretty great after all these years. It's eerie how much of it informed the eventual creation of Thundercats.
The Lord of the Rings: Fucking awful. I don't care what anyone says, rotoscoping is not animation. Fuck, half the time they don't even bother to draw over the actors. Lazy garbage.
It just reminded me of something else I hate.
You know those comic book "artists" who take photographs of people and then trace over them? "Look at me, I can draw!"
BULLSHIT.
Even worse are the ones who take existing comic book art and trace over that.
It's called plagiarism.
Also, Powermasters, Pretenders, and Beastformers aka Battle Beasts.

Ju On 1 and 2. It sucks. FOr once, the american remake is better
I can't accept that this movie is written by the writer of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, one of the worst damned movies ever made.
Yeah, right? They didn't care and neither did I.
When the credits rolled, I was just like, "Oh well, that's the end of that."
And wasn't a lot of that Snape flashback shit supposed to be in HP6? I could swear...
At least they got around to it. I mean, they kind of fucking had to.
Or maybe it's just been way too long and it's all jumbled up in my memory.
and should never waste your money seeing anything theaters.
Judge Dredd.
Fuck.

I read some review in the paper that said it would've been better off as a straight western than adding in all of dem ay-lee-ans.
Did anyone see the Smurfs? They added new Smurfs. Was that really necessary? REALLY?

NO. Unless some of them were females. That was a serious sausage fest. The guy at Gamestop said it was pretty good but he works at Gamestop so what does he know.
Tangled!I agree. Felt a lot like Beauty and the Beast to me too. It really felt like the CG was trying to emulate the style of a classically cel animated film, but still in nice looking 3D. It was great.
I consider this the first "true" Disney CG movie. It's got all the charm of the classics. Just visually, so much of it could have come straight out of Sleeping Beauty, or Sword in the Stone. I like it.
Anchorman on BluRay. Wasn't worth seeing in HD.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE HUMANS DAMMIT.
Why would you even suggest such a thing?
If Aziz left P&R, I don't even know that I'd want to watch it anymore.
I'm planning on taking in Conan and skipping Fright Night...so after I do that I'll copy the part of my brain that has the movie on it and then you can eat it. Since I don't plan on seeing Fright Night, you can do the same for me. I've also seen the original Fright Night so you can have that as well. Now I just need to find the right bit for the drill.
apes was great
I wanna see conan pretty bad but I still need to see cap and hp first.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was fucking awesome, yo!Is James Franco yummy in it? any full frontal nudity by him?
No, but they give you plenty of the ape to compensate.
So he's playing the part of an ape? wtf. what a waste of a beautiful face
I don't remember any ape dongs. The truth is those apes would be masturbating and banging like fiends. But I guess the general public wasn't ready for the truth.
Oh no... Not "The Boys Are Back In Town" for the credits. Now you've just made me want to watch Toy Story.
Oh no... Not "The Boys Are Back In Town" for the credits. Now you've just made me want to watch Toy Story.
The only movies that should ever use that song for ANYTHING should be the toy story franchise.
I'd really like to know what M. Night was thinking when he cast those kids. In his past movies he's done a pretty good job with selecting his cast. Then again he was probably just there to get a pay chell and didn't care who the studio put in the movie.
I didn't realize they still sold Snapple.
I didn't realize they still sold Snapple.
I know we both live in the same state and surely that means you are presented with the Snapple ads that are presented to me.
That's something you could learn from a Snapple lid.
"Did you know they still sell Snapple?"
That statement seems pretty arbitrary. I could just as easily say, "ROTF wasn't that bad compared to part 3 and the part where optimus ripped off the fallen's face was pretty cool."
They're both awful movies, each with a smattering of entertaining moments. But overall, garbage. Saying this garbage isn't as garbagey as that garbage is meaningless.
I'll agree that humans are the absolute worst part of anything pertaining to Transformers. Always and forever.

Fast Five. Wow this movie... was like an 80s cartoon or something. The Rock's character was like a parody of itself.
Cop: Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
The Rock: You know I like to eat my dessert first.
Cop: Bla bla good news.
The Rock: All right, now give me the veggies.
At one point he slaps are moving car as if to ask it to move faster.
Budget $2.5 million
Box office $324,138
Black Dynamite...again. I just love this movie. Every time I see it on I have to watch it. I should just go ahead and buy the DVD.
It'll probably be about as good as Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Well, maybe not that good.
I saw Megan is Missing and O-M-FUCKING-G. The last 20 minutes are tough man. I'm never letting my children use a computer, liek, evar.
You guys should watch it
Never say never.
Tron: Legacy.
I know not a lot of people liked this movie, but I really enjoyed it. Other then the 3D headache I got the first time I saw it.
Aww, that's heinous. I'll wait for a Blu-ray rip.
There is a new animated batman movie. I liked it. It started kinda slow but it delivered in the end. It's more about Gordon than batman.

but..but...Price said to party like it's 1999...
I remember dvd being a lot better than VHS but I don't really think that bluray is that much better than dvd.
Am I wrong?
I've got both the DVD version of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and the BluRay...there is a huge difference between the two. But unless they have the original masters to make the HD transfer then it won't do it much good.
I remember dvd being a lot better than VHS but I don't really think that bluray is that much better than dvd.Depends on the standard. DVD was about a cleaner picture, but ultimately at the same resolution as VHS. Blu-Ray is really just a much higher resolution.
Am I wrong?
This depends greatly on the production of the bluray disc. Some of them are at or below DVD standards, but they can sell them for a higher price because "OH LOOK SHINY BLUE BOX!" A good production bluray should beat the DVD everytime.I bevelie statements like this are largely false. While some Blu-Rays look better than others, I've never seen one that looks worse than a DVD. I think people just watch too many Blu-Rays and see a bad one and forget what DVD looks like. Similar completely untrue statements include "Old movies don't look better on Blu-Ray".
Oh I bought the DVD years and years ago...when I first got the BluRay I was looking for some cheap disks to buy to try it out and I found that one for a like 8 bucks, so I bought it cause I liked the movie so much. I had planned on selling off or trading in the old DVD one but just haven't got around to it.
At least I didn't buy them both, new, shrink wrapped together like I've seen at Wal-Mart a few times. I don't get that. If you are going to buy the BluRay, you are either upgrading from the DVD, or don't own the movie at all. Why the fuck would you want to buy both at the same time?
Because you only own one Bluray player and you might want to watch it in another room?
Similar completely untrue statements include "Old movies don't look better on Blu-Ray".
Human beings never exaggerate. It's just not in our nature.
Never.
Never.
NEVER.

Won't there come a day when the standard outstrips the current one, and "old" (digital) movies actually won't look as good anymore?True, but I don't see any other major change happening with resolution while we're still in the 2D world. 1920x1080 is really at the top of what the human eye can really appreciate. DVD was outdated when it hit the shelves. Not that people had TVs that could do better, but the technology was out there, and theatres just looked better. A movie will look better on film than in HD, yes, but it's not a big enough difference that you could really see it, especially on a TV. I mean even with a 60" TV, do you really think a human could see the difference between 1920x1080 and say some theoretical doubling of that, around 3840x2160? I'd be surprised if most people could...
I remember way back when they first started talking about theaters installing digital projectors, I thought, "Oh, that's cool," and I just assumed the theater I frequent had them.
But in the past year or so I'm noticing most new movies I go to have (DIGITAL) after the title, and the picture is just so fucking crisp and clean, I can scarcely believe it.
Also, all our auditoriums now have widely spaced, reclining leather seats, which is glorious, although completely unrelated to picture quality.
I'm assuming you have SilverCity locations in Ontario and know what I'm talking aboot.
The runtime of just over two hours might have been a little much. Condense that shit. 90 minutes is the sweet spot, never forget.

The only Silver City in Dallas is a strip club. They probably have leather chairs.
I kinda like the found footage angle: "...and these bitches were never found." As pretty as the landscape was though, I'd like far fewer of those shots. They could still keep it in Norway similar to how the English-lang Dragon Tattoo movie was keeping shit in Sweden. I agree that I don't think the trolls could be relocated. Har har, maybe in Canada, eh? And instead of Hans, they'll have joe.I'd buy it. I've never even seen anything north of Quebec city. I'm sure there are vast expanses of the North West that have never had a human set foot on them.
Puss in Boots. I liked it. The plot was not at all what I expected, but that's okay. Easily better than all the Shrek sequels.Special olympics. I like cats but I hate Antonio Banderes and the Shrek franchise so I don't think I can watch this. How many scenes have out of place post 1970s music that the characters interact with?
I watched the Mel Brooks Dracula movie not long ago.
It has its moments.
I really hated that movie. Peter MacNicol is horrible in everything. He fails at life but acheived some kind of success doing it. He's on the short list with the likes of David Arquette in the realm of people who suceed dispite not only have no ability, but being overtly offensive to more senses than most humans thought they possessed.
A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas was excellent. Defying all logic, this series manages to improve with each new iteration. I hope they keep making them until the end of time.
Immortals was a horrible piece of shit. And I'm pretty sure IDE was in it.
I also saw some of Tangled...not bad, but not great either.
Also, and this is really just nitpicking, but putting "Princess" right there in the title is some of the laziest shit ever. I get that the story is a spin on The Frog Prince, and that the title was originally The Frog Princess, but come on.
I thought both Flynn and Rapunzel where both pretty annoying. Flynn just seems like a total douche. I mean I know we get a scene later on that lets us know he acts that way due some deep rooted insecurities (much like IDE), but still the guy needs to be at least kinda like able if we are to believe he is gonna end up with the girl here. I mean that stuff he does is funny, but he needs to at least show some cracks of his later potential. Instead it is all "Here comes the smoulder."Flynn was your typical bad boy, and I thought it was funny how quick everyone was to forgive a thief.
And I liked Rapunzel better with short brown hair. I know that short defeats the purpose of a Rapunzel story and I don't care. But really Blond=Magical. Ugh.Well yeah you can't just make it not be a long blond haired Rapunzel.
I liked Tangled. I was so distracted by the fact that Disney was finally doing CG right that I probably overlooked a lot of problems.I liked Bolt as well!
And Pascal is awesome!
The chameleon was cool, but I constantly found myself wishing he could speak. He'd be voiced by Ludacris, and there would be a rap segment inserted unobtrusively somewhere in the middle of the film. He'd stare at Rapunzel's ass frequently and have various exclamations such as, "Dayum, girl," and "What-what," and at one point he'd ask her if the carpet matches the drapes, "Cuz dat would be nasty!"So a Dreamworks movie?

Here's my new movie of the year that I've been talking about on my FB, it's hitting DVD on the 18th I think.
Seriously, it's magnificent.

sooo, I watched about a third of The Last Circus on the Netflix and I turned it off. Damn you and mostly damn that trailer for making me think that movie was going to be good.
Is that on Netflix? I really need to watch it again to see if I like now. I really hated it the first time I saw it.
Equilibrium:Cult classic? Is that what we call movies that are unpopular or unknown these days? There was way too much sense crime by every character in this movie.
Heard this is a cult classic, decided to give it a chance.
Halloween (The Rob Zombie one.)
He really humanized Mike Myers too much. Like it better when he was just killing machine with a very loose back story.
I just saw the new Mission Impossible. It was a decent watch. It has more funny human moments than any of it's predecessors and I think that makes it more entertaining.

I really liked the story.
Is it like MI3: good enough to sit down and see once and never watch again?
Is it like MI3: good enough to sit down and see once and never watch again?It's a lot like MI3, which I apparently liked a bit more than you...
I'm rewatching the Matrix. What is the conclusion for the whole "the idea for the Matrix was stolen" thing? Like as in all of your opinions on this?I think it was all bull shit. It looked similar to Dark City. Yeah, because they reused some sets from Dark City. The idea of a world in a computer was not new, but they didn't claim it was. I don't see people complaining that every movie with a relationship is a rip off of the last...
(I agree with the thought something you don't see is scarier then something you do.)
How can you hate them? Some of the shots are really beautiful in 3D. If anything 3D versions of 2D movies are the best because they can't do any "poke you in da face" moments because there were none there to begin with.Uh... where do I start? It's a 2D movie, they made all this 3D after the fact, it's George Lucasey history of film raping at it's finest. It's completely unnecessary, a gimmicky cash grab, it's a total insult to the film and history of movies on a fundamental level.
If anything 3D versions of 2D movies are the best because they can't do any "poke you in da face" moments because there were none there to begin with.Nonsense. Just because they don't have another problem other bad movies have doesn't make them good. Any good 3D movie should just be a 2D movie shot in 3D, but that's not what people do, because they're idiots.
So what if it was put in after the fact? There is no film raping going on here. It looks really cool, breathtaking in some parts. There is no way you could look at it side by side and say the 2D looks better.Better? It's a change to the movie. It's unecessary. If they want to make a "better" looking movie, make a new one, don't fuck with a classic.
I appreciate that the original is still available, as the alternative is simply absurd, but still I would much rather just see the original film in theatres than this stupid 3D rerelease, and if audiences had better taste, doing so would be more viable.
I think they actually are showing the classic non 3D version along side it. Does this appease you?I love that they're doing this, but wish it were so in my local theatre.
http://www.mrmovietimes.com/movie-theaters/century-8-north-hollywood.html
Yeah, but what is available is a shit transfer from the 1994 Laserdisc. They never bothered to clean it up, since I'm sure no one in their right mind would want to watch the original instead of his amazing Special Editions...or at least that's what he thinks. GL can fuck those films up all he wants as far as I'm concerned, I just wish he'd release the original unchanged version on the same format at the same time. The fact that he refuses to do that is where my problem lies. Course I'm sure it would hurt his ego if the originals outsold his edits.Well yeah, but that's really his problem. Could have cleaned them all up in the first place. I agree, release both and there's really no harm no foul. No one bitches about ET, though it's a shit movie.
I'm more interested in that new Harry Potter movie. Supposedly it takes place in an alternate timeline where Harry has no magical powers, and he investigates ghost sightings. Sounds pretty sweet.
I felt like I was gonna have an anxiety attack for about the last half hour of the movie
It does seem that Vampires have super Gaydar since it seems every single one of the guys is either gay or bi...but somehow none of the chicks are.
Oh the Lesbian vampire goes all the way back to the novella Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu published 1872...
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Okay, this movie is crap, but! If you're a fan of Cage's unique weirdness
The Live Action TF flicks caused me to disavow the Live Action TF flicks.
Then the scene from the ads where they're running through the forest being shot at in slow motion shows up and I'm suddenly awake for the rest of the movie, which is mostly entertaining from that point onward.That slow motion scene had to be the worst part of the movie. To actually DRAG a bullet-time scene on for 10 fucking minutes. 5 minutes in: "is the bullet-time over? No?" 10 minutes in: "Can I kill myself now?"
Two hours was too much.
The third had promise, but damn if they didn't dash that to hell half-way through...and it was largely through the demolition of Optimus Prime's character that it was accomplished.They dashed it to hell by having it be human-centric again... and having the autobots disappear for most of the chicago part, only to pop up briefly out of nowhere for a 5 second cameo.
I love Transformers, but I never got all the love for the Autobots. I always found them a bunch of boring generic characters and back in the original cartoon there were new ones popping up every week. I had trouble keeping them apart.
I was always a Decepticon kid. The thing I missed the most in the movies was the classic Megatron/Starscream dynamic.
The Hunger Games. I honestly didn't care for it. The movie completely failed to make me empathize with any of the characters. It's as if the the director said, "Shit, everyone coming to see this thing is already aware of all the personalities and motivations, why bother wasting any screen time on that stuff?" I would hesitate to call it outright boring, but it was definitely dull.
I saw Cap America the other day.
Wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, but there are just too many superhero movies coming out these days.
Was Captain America good? The first half, maybe.
And I can't help but notice how fucking goofy Cap looks standing next to everyone else in those Avengers trailers. His helmet is especially awful.
If you're going to remove Hawkeye's mask and Thor's helmet, you might as well let Cap keep his off as well. It looks like shitty cosplay.
I wasn't really accusing you of bad taste, just stating my own opinion of the Captain America movie. I felt like as soon as he took an active role on the battlefield it all just went to shit.
Green Lantern sucked. Daredevil really sucked. Spider-Man 3, I've actually grown fond of with subsequent viewings. The entire sequence where the symbiote turns Peter into an emo hipster and he's strutting around the city while that jazzy rendition of the Spider-Man theme song plays is quite possibly the greatest thing in the history of cinema.
Also, this:
Yeah I don't know how they could cast a better J.J. then they did in those movies. That was so spot on it wasn't even funny.
I am now seriously creeped out. It's been so long since I saw the movie I forgot that part even existed.
Spider-Man 3 should have just been Sandman's movie...with a set up of Venom for 4. We didn't need new Goblin at all in that movie. And it doesn't help that he turned into Extreme sports Green Goblin. They tried to cram too much in there, and they didn't do it well.all of this... where's my like button?
I don't think we can agree on SM3 except for the video you linked, but that's because of James Franco more than anything else. James Franco is awesome.

Beauty and the Beast.No. Belle is not in love with the Beast when he is horrible person. He does change, but that's not the point. She doesn't tough out the bad for the good. She's there for the bad with no choice, and only falls in love with the good man he becomes.
It was on TV and I hadn't seen it in a long time. It really is the ultimate "I can change him" story.
You know what constantly looks dull? The look on Jennifer Lawrence's face. Seriously. As far the promotional material or preview footage goes, this chick doesn't ever look angry, sad, motivated, or even hungry. She's always got this weird, fish-lipped "I'm lost at teh Wal-mart" or "I hope I can blame that fart on the the dog" look on her face.I've got something to perk her up.
lol, "creepy ass prince".Dont you think he's fucking creepy? and the bad guy, whatever his name is, looks exactly like Raul Julia. Wtf is up with these ethnic cartoons, I hate it. It's like they try to cover all ethnicities on purpose, just to show off
And Iron Man 2 was torture. So much so that I'm not even bothering with anything that came after it. BLEH.
And was I the only person just not impressed with Tangled?YES! It's great.
Yeah, but that's because Hulk was sharing screen time with everyone else. They used him sparingly, and whenever he actually did something, it mattered. There was weight to his actions.
When you do an entire movie about Hulk, it becomes diluted to the point that he's just another action hero, and you stop appreciating him for what he really is.
I think all of these characters work better in bite-size doses, complimenting one another. That's why it's going to be really tough for any of their subsequent solo outings to generate the same kind of fervor as The Avengers.
Like Toe said, I don't give a shit about seeing another Thor, or another Captain America, or even another Iron Man, which is already a sure thing. What kind of bullshit contrivances will they have to come up with to explain why these guys aren't calling in their bros for backup?
I thought that Bond guy ws ugly until I saw him hooking up with the Lisbeth girl.
The battleship did in fact sink, and yet the line was never uttered.
I'm way behind on Ghibli. Haven't seen Earthsea. Haven't seen Ponyo. Haven't seen Arrietty.I'd skip Earthsea and Ponyo. Earthsea isn't horrible but is kind of a mess in many ways. Ponyo's just kind of stupid and juvenile.
I had no idea Starman was a John Carpenter film. It's pretty unusual for him when you set it next to all his other stuff.Yeah I had no idea until I saw his name in the credits. There are similarities, but it's certainly a very different kind of movie to his other stuff.
I liked Ponyo but I agree that it was lukewarm as a whole. It was nothing I'd ever see again.I looooove Ponyo! I always get a little misty-eyed at the end. And the song at the beginning ( Umi no Okaasan) is beautiful :3
Also I hate spaniards and their retarded accent so maybe that's why I think it sucks
Ramona and Beezus
Ramona and Beezus
Is that on Netflix or cable?
I went to Prometheus last night, unfortunately I didn't get to finish watching it due to anxiety
Watched Coraline, got bored near the end. Is it supposed to be a kids movie or something? it looks a bit too dark
I always wanted Lorenzo Lamas to star in a Ghost Rider movie. Maybe it was from watching too much Renegade.

I think almost anyone would have been better then Cage, especially in this one.
Especially in anything except Raising Arizona.
Who wants to watch some movie about a failure who gives up on life? Ooooh it's unpleasant. People "like" unpleasant. WTF? I don't watch movies to feel bad. Fuck this movie.
Yeah, that's basically why I never saw it. It very well could be an excellent piece of cinematic work. But it's a downer-flick so fuck it.
Especially in anything except Raising Arizona.
How DARE you!!!
3 of the best movies ever are:
1) Conair
2) Face Off and
3) Leaving Las Vegas
all of them with the Nick. Hater
Leaving Las Vegas is a stupid piece of shit movie. Who wants to watch some movie about a failure who gives up on life? Ooooh it's unpleasant. People "like" unpleasant. WTF? I don't watch movies to feel bad. Fuck this movie.
Face Off and Con Air are indeed incredible. I will add The Rock to that list. There was a period where Nic Cage did nothing but great action movies. That time is long, long gone.
I'm sorry but I wouldn't trust the taste of a guy who is obsessed with Sailor MoonToo bad, 'cause it's the best show EVER!
Hot Tub Time Machine.
Eh, I laughed a couple times.
I always think of that interview Aaliyah gave where she planned to wear her Queen of the Damned contacts or fangs or something for Halloween. And then she died before Halloween came. :(
Watched Queen of the Damned for the 9209202th time. Cheesy as fuck movie but with great movie and the best eye candy ever
Now I want to read the Vampire's Chronicles.
Mary Elizabeth WinsteadOooh I didn't know she was in this!
Mary Elizabeth WinsteadOooh I didn't know she was in this!
B==================D~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cool World is funny
Rama if it makes you feel better, even the studios that did the movie knew they were going to fuck it up. THey only had like some months left before the license for the Vampire Chronicles ran out so they just pulled the whole concept of the movie (two books into one movie) out of their ass
They have 10% of my daily intake of calcium ok? its serious stuff
I watched Chopper Chicks in Zombietown yesterday. It was a Troma film so pretty much what I expected. I only watched it because it has the chick with 3 boobs from Total Recall in it.

No. The actress has 2 boobs. The one on the left (viewer's right) is the prosthetic I believe.I watched Chopper Chicks in Zombietown yesterday. It was a Troma film so pretty much what I expected. I only watched it because it has the chick with 3 boobs from Total Recall in it.

I've never walked out of a theater, but I came very close to it with Revenge of the Sith and Matrix 3.Wanted to with Sith, but was with other people. I just spent the time laughing at how bad the movie was, when no one else in the theater was laughing. I exploded with laughter during the NOOOOOOOOO scene.
I haven't even seen a trailer yet for spider-man, and I can't be bothered to look for it on youtube. I've seen way too many superhero movies the past few years. I need a break from the genre
In the end that suit was overshadowed by bigger issues for me. With number one being Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. Not at one point did I believe this was Peter Parker and not generic modern kid number 1. They could have just changed his name to "Picked On Kid" in the script and it would have had the same effect. His delivery was like a spazing third grader had a baby with Jeff Goldblum.
Nope. No James Franco.Did he die in the last movie?
Nope. No James Franco.Did he die in the last movie?
It's a reboot, Faye.
It's a reboot, Faye.
shit I replied with a comment about Batman lol im tired
What do you mean by reboot?
I'll be honest: the DKR lost me when it got casted. So... when can we expect the next reboot?
I think they could have chosen a better Catwoman. Someone like Michelle Pfeiffer who was the best catwoman EVER.
The other day I was practically forced to watch Sucker Punch (and by forced I mean they turned the tv on, put it on a channel and left- the control and cable was in japanese so it was practically entrapment). It was bad. So bad that after 20 minutes I just turned the tv off (I never do that, I rather watch the whole movie just to say I did). Holy fuck I can't believe people paid to watch this movie
But, don't you know? No one ages in Hollywood
Lol. She's old now.
This made me literally laugh out loud. Thank you
I paid money to watch it in 3 fucking D. We were one of the first to see it and did not know what we were getting in to. I did not leave the theatre merely because god damn that is some nice eye candy.
It's okay. Bruce Lee is kicking his ass in heaven.
That's the most embarrasing way you could kill yourself (by accident tho). Wait, maybe asfixiation by choking on your own dickey would win
Firstly, Liam Neeson and Maggie Gyllenhaal had already left a sour taste in my mouth. And I do not like Bale as Batman. So then we had Hathaway as Catwoman, which I wasn't wild about. Next we get Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, and JGL. Because it's all, "hey, I'm directing Batman, let me invite all my friendsafklgvwkr;b". Even if it means utterly whitewashing two characters (Hollywood, this shit is tiresome) and making up a you-know-who [Yeah, I'm trying to avoid spoilers, btw, because forbid someone enters this thread and is U SPOILD BATMN!!!EIRDlk] when he had several pre-existing ones to choose from. (Since when was that part of the character's real name anyway? Bleh.) I don't doubt the cast has good actors in it but they aren't the only good actors out there. I think Bane and, ahem, Miranda could've used more fitting actors.
If you needed to be reminded, I found Batman Begins as a giant borefest. TDK was decent, but it was Nolan's first Batman that I had watched. While entertaining for what it was, I was not exactly hungering for more. Me seeing the last Batman depended on Nolan casting people I'd actually feel like sitting through one of his movies to watch and this cast didn't cut it. I was curious enough to read a crapload of spoilers and none of what happened in this film interested me in the least. I'm ready for a new Batman and new director at the helm.
That's the most embarrasing way you could kill yourself (by accident tho). Wait, maybe asfixiation by choking on your own dickey would win
I don't see how this could be an accident.
2nd...after only a year of being Batman he takes 8 years off? Do what? Ugh...just ugh.
Also, Kirstun Dunst's boobies.B======D
Tucker and Dale Versus Evil
Two hillbillies are in the woods and a bunch of college kids end up killing themselves. It was pretty damn funny.
I thought Tucker and Dale was hilarious.Werd. I've lent this movie out so many times that I don't even know where it is anymore.
I rewatched a 2000-something adaptation of Persuasion that had aired on PBS and was reminded on why I had dismissed it as being inferior. Wow, just so many problems. Do not fuck with Austen's material. Just make it as she wrote it and you won't go wrong.
Sorry, sorry, I was referring to a straight adaptation of her novels (of which there are several mistakes out there). Zombie and sea monsters are okay if that's what's being adapted for screen. Weren't they supposed to make a Pride & Predator movie? What happened with that?
Total Recall (2012)
I'm not sure why this one is getting so much hate. It didn't blow me away or anything, but it was far from a bad movie. Most of the action scenes were really well done. There was one plot point at the very end that bothered me, but other than that it had a cohesive story. C+
I'm just gonna come out and say it... SPOILER ALERT!!!
When Colin Farrell wakes up in the ambulance at the end and Jennifer Biel is waiting for him, only it's actually Kate Beckinsale, why didn't she just fucking kill him when he was unconscious?! That entire scene was ridiculous.
I'm just gonna come out and say it... SPOILER ALERT!!!Because it's all a dream in Rekall so nothing can happen when he's not conscious.

This could work, except... when have you ever been unconscious in a dream? And besides that, could you even be killed inside a dream? Speaking personally, it's never happened to me.Should we accept this to be the interpretation of the film, which I do, then any "unconsciousness" in the dream world would just be you blacking out. This isn't really a dream, it's artificial sensory perception caused by some kind of computer system, so yeah it makes sense that you perceive sleep or unconsciousness. Can you be killed in a dream? Not in our world, you'd probably just wake up, despite the urban legends that claim otherwise. Of course you can die while sitting on a chair in Rekall. That's what happens to Arnie in the first movie.

I'm white myself, so I can't relate to the plight of the common POC.
And I'm not about to apologize or feel guilty for something some other white people are responsible for.
I actually do feel quite guilty.
I'm sorry.

No, two glasses one guy. Then the guy sat on them. And it was supposed funny somehow. And later his father sits on olives or something?
I didn't know there was a 1 guy 1 cup.
I really liked that too and I remembered there was hope that would become a series. Instead it became another victim of G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
Oh shit.Jennifer Biels of Flashdance fame?
I typed Jennifer Biel. It's Jessica. Jessica Biel.
Did anyone even notice?
I thought Cover Girl died in the first movie.
You know, it's that scene where they walk right into Dennis Quaid's office, wound him, but allow him to live so he can sound the alarm thereby making their escape a matter of life and death and costing them a dozen Vipers.
I can understand they needed an action sequence there, but the setup for it was fucking bonkers.
No, but it's because no one cares about her. Anyway, it was close enough. ;DI really liked that too and I remembered there was hope that would become a series. Instead it became another victim of G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
It needs to be one. But Snake Eyes + Scarlett plz. Dook iz overrated thank you.
So Fifi, did you ever say why you don't like Duke?

Did she? I've tried to forget that movie. But we are talking about the Resolute universe which is a different thing. In that I think Bazooka and someone else died....but I think Cover Girl is still alive.
Nevermind. I just checked my facts, and apparently there already was an Ace Ventura 3, sans Carrey.
What in the fuck.
There was a 2nd Mask without him. Son of Mask. I don't think there was a Mask 3.
There was also this thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_%28film%29That was actually a good movie imo
The best thing abou Ace Ventura was the Cannibal Corpse cameo :headbang:
I went to The Expendables 2 on Sunday. Money well spent.
I went to The Expendables 2 on Sunday. Money well spent.Amen. I went last Saturday. It was what is was. And that was much fun.
So I saw the movie and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to be a boring poc like Pandemonium but alas, I was wrong and I'm glad.
It wasn't really boring, I actually liked it. Maybe it was cause of the nice eye candy (fassbender) or because I got a big ass tub of candy pop cr0n :3
I went to The Expendables 2 on Sunday. Money well spent.Amen. I went last Saturday. It was what is was. And that was much fun.
I don't remember how to call it in english.... it's when they put sugar with the cr0n when they're popping it... Anyways they had that, plain, butter and curry (puke)It wasn't really boring, I actually liked it. Maybe it was cause of the nice eye candy (fassbender) or because I got a big ass tub of candy pop cr0n :3
candy pop cron?
You got to Dolph exploding the terrorist and couldn't watch anymore? Your loss. The best movie up yours in recent memory occurred not thirty minutes later when they nuked the bridge.I hope you guys are joking. I can't sit through more than 10 minutes of the first movie.I went to The Expendables 2 on Sunday. Money well spent.Amen. I went last Saturday. It was what is was. And that was much fun.
I saw The Three Stooges, and now my head hurts. What is most disappointing is that the three actors they had play the stooges just really got into their roles and I totally believed them as the stooges. The problem was a just abysmal script...it was just sooooo bad. I mean anytime you have Moe endd up in the company of the cast of Jersey Shore then you know you've made a wrong turn some place.Holy shit.

BUt you know, it could have been worse. Fuckin' Will Smith could have played one of the stooges, with his two wonder-brats playing the other two
I bought the dvd of Grave of the Fireflies cause I've heard is super sad and depressing. But now I don't want to watch it cause of the same reasons lol but I'll get to itThe best way to describe it is thus: the story starts with a nuclear explosion, and it's all downhill from there.

Goldeneye...probably my favorite Bond film of them all.
Haywire was great. I was surprised to actually feel bad when you-know-who ate it, because at the beginning of the movie it was like, "Oh my God, he's beating the shit out of her!"
But then of course she beat him even worse, so it was all good.
Goldeneye...probably my favorite Bond film of them all.
Good movie. GREAT GAME.
Honestly I enjoyed all the Moore Bond movies except View to a Kill.
Honestly I enjoyed all the Moore Bond movies except View to a Kill.
But that one has my favorite Bond song. Also, Grace Jones. ♥
Also, I rewatched Clueless today. Yay for it making it to Netflix streaming.
I don't know why you guys like Goldeneye.
Pierce Brosnan is just awful.
Clueless and 10 Thing I Hate About You are great!I <3 u
I don't know why you guys like Goldeneye.
Pierce Brosnan is just awful.
I watched Mean Girls. And What Women Want. But as it turns out, what I wanted wasn't that movie. Ho ho.
I think Julia Styles is decently hot but for whatever reason men don't generally seem to find her attractive.
Saw the Avengers the other day.
Glad I didn't see it in the theater this summer. I mean it was an ok film, but really not worth all the hype IMO
Down with the american superheroes! its time for the Vikings to shine!
Down with the american superheroes! its time for the Vikings to shine!
Have I told you recently that I love you?
I can't remember if we've talked about it here before, but if you want to watch a good Viking movie, check out Valhalla Rising.
Just watched the Grave of the fireflies.
Fuck this shit.

It involves a pile of poo and your wiener
SADDEST MOVIE EVER. Even though I read a synopsis of it and KNEWWW what was going to happen, i still cried like a little bitch. Oh yeah and hours later i was still thinking about how fucked up and sad it was. GoddamnJust watched the Grave of the fireflies.
Fuck this shit.
What does that even mean?
You did it to yourself.
I rewatched Batman: Dark Knight Returns Pt. 1 the other day. I do believe they pulled off what nobody thought they could...I can't wait for round two.
...so then you'd give it a 1 or a 2? Out of 5? Or 10? You gotta be more specific!I lol'd a little

Indian food is people.No but Fantastic Mr Fox is one of my favorite childhood books! Is it computer-animated??
The Darjeeling Limited is a decent Wes Anderson effort. Have you seen Fantastic Mr. Fox and/or Moonrise Kingdom, Faye? Those are also good, along with everything else he (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0027572/) directs.
Darjeling was like a comedy without enough comedy. Once the laughing stops and it's all estranged relationships with fathers and dead kids I wasn't having a good time any more...
As for India...
Pros:
Girls with big eyes
Cons:
Music
Clothes
Movies
Sound of language
Religioin that everyone sucks the dick of but fuck it it's still a religion

I saw Hanna.This is a serious review of the film:
Hell nah, girl. They animated that shit by hand. Stop-motion all the way, and it looks amazing.
I saw Prometheus the other day.
Not a bad movie, but it raised more questions then it answered (then again I never saw the Alien movies). So it left me a bit unsatisfied
I saw Battleship.What were you expecting from a movie that has that crazy ho Rihanna in it?
Terrible movie if you want plot and characters.
I saw Battleship.
Terrible movie if you want plot and characters. Great if you want to see shit blow up good. Only refreshing thing here was seeing an alien
seeing an alien
an alien

Yeeeeeeeeeeeah. That happened.
Anyway I saw Dark Shadows. I still don't know if I like this movie or hate it. It has a lot of good parts, and a lot of bad parts. The good parts were really good and the bad parts were really bad. I'm so confused. I'd have to go with bad...I mean when a werewolf shows up without any mention of werewolves it is just a little too Deus ex machina for me. But I will say that the house of Collinwood was amazing. I think I was more taken with the house then the movie.
Yeah I knew about the TV show. They use to show it on Sci-Fi during the early 90s. But given this movie is for the layman that might not have ever seen that show it is the writer's job to explain those sort of things. Which they didn't.
Well I looked it up and a lot of these stories do line up with the old show, but some don't. But since there are over 1200 episodes of Dark Shadows...I don't think I'll be getting to the bottom of what is or isn't right anytime soon.
Ha ha! That improves the movie significantly if I look at it that way. And that comment, "Get a proper job." If the Powet-thing actually was your job, why would you go get a job at McDonald's because some a-hole on the internet thinks you need a "proper" one? Getting paid for making vids > flipping burgers. What a stupid asshat.Ha. Seriously. I wonder how actors feel when they get bitched at for sucking. "Hey I got $20 million for my last flick. You get a real job!"
Terrible movie if you want plot and characters. Great if you want to see shit blow up good. Only refreshing thing here was seeing an alien that wasn't completely unbeatable and human actually could fight back. Other then that it was shit, but some of it was a kind of "Hee hee...cool" shit.Battleship was great!!!

Holy balls, fuck that. Was it a soap opera?

Yes it was. Ran on ABC daytime TV from 67 to 71. And Barnabas Collins didn't even show up till episode 202.
Saw Moonlight Kingdom last night. Very good movie. When Wes Anderson writes an adult they sound retarded. When he writes children they sound witty and quirky. Much better...
TCM definitely didn't air Madagascar 3 last night.
Yeah, but they wait till the end to use it and it plays over the credits.
Yeah, but they wait till the end to use it and it plays over the credits.
I actually really like the Madagascar movies, and 3 was better then 2.
Young Frankenstein
Man, did I ever dislike Machete. The first ten to fifteen minutes were amazing, everything after that was just awful.
I don't remember that at all.
I don't remember that at all.
It happened.
All the Punisher movies were teh suckThe Thomas Jane movie was based on Ennis' first storyline, "Welcome Back, Frank". Thank you, Hollywood creative license. Not having a mob-stress being mauled and quartered by an irate polar bear just ain't the same.
They should make a movie of one of Ennis' Punisher Max stories
I think you should explain why you are telling us what you reading in the "The last movie I saw was..." thread. '__'
Also, there was a previous wizard like this kid that people called Dahg Mahn. which translates to Dog Man.
PrometheusNothing about the film makes it inconsistent with being a direct prequel to Alien aside from the size of the Space Jockeys which is really a non issue.
It was ok....I can see why people where pissed at this thing though. This thing was clearly meant to be a direct prequel to Alien and was probably so right before they started shooting. I mean it really seemed they just went through the script and just replaced words like "Eggs" with "Vases" and "LV-426" with "LV-223" then rewrote the last five pages of the script. "Oh...another ship. How deus ex machina of you." I think people would have been a lot happier if they had just left this a direct prequel to Alien like it was clearly intended to be.
Watched Inception the other night. It put me to sleep.

I still haven't watched Inception either.
Does it even matter at this point?
Went to see Skyfall today. The good news is that it was far better than Quantum of Solace.
I am extremely humored by different opinions on Bond movies.
I've not seen Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace. We watched Skyfall last night.
My room mates think QoS is better than Skyfall.
I liked the film, but have nothing to compare it to.
The Other Guys
Anchorman
Step Brothers
Late to the game on all counts. All three movies were great and apparently directed by the same guy, which was a total coincidence. I was just watching "Will Ferrell comedies".

You know I've never used a Rifftrax before. Which is odd considering how much riffing material I actually own.
So not only do you steal copyrighted materials, you even steal the high speed internet to do it with.
You sir are my new pirate idol
Bambi 2
Bambi had actually some funny parts. Bambi 2 is bullshit (his dad sounds like a pr0n actor circa the 80s)
Exactly how I would expect the dad of someone called Bambi to soundlold
Killing Them Softly.At first I thought you were talking about Dave Chappelle`s standup show
I liked it, but it wasn't terribly original. It paints the familiar picture of organized crime being populated by unglamorous, mundane fuckers that we've seen plenty of times already over the past twenty years. I did enjoy the final scene, which basically plays out as a condemnation of all humankind. At least that's how I took it.
The Hobbit.
I don't know what to think about all the stuff they added that wasn't part of the original story. I'm pretty sure I didn't like it. Also, some scenes were way too fucking verbose. It was really obvious how much they were stretching out the running time.
But overall, not bad. My favorite scene was easily the escape from Goblin-town. To me, it evoked the greatness of LoTR more than anything else in the movie.
The Hobbit.
spoilers, goddamnit
I heard Tolkien decided to give the elves long blonde hair after seeing Rumble at a bar :3
Not much left of that hair these days I'm afraid
What? The whole "I am woman, I make my own choices" schtick the previews were running with?Yeah. Mulan. I wasn't surprised by it. Everything related to that plot was very well choreographed in the trailer. Then they did a bear thing. I just found it a little obvious and given it was from a movie studio that has not has a good female character in any movie to date I wasn't really impressed. Disney did it better, repeatedly, for decades. Pixar is a hotbed for male dominated stories. Belle and Ariel did what Merid<hack> did more subtlely and better years ago. Mulan did it just as poorly in almost the same movie a long time ago as well.
Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph are arguably better than most of Pixar's recent output.Haven't seen Wreck-It Ralph but I prefered Tangled and Bolt to anything they've put out since Wall-E.
Just saw Antz yesterday. Didnt like it at all. Except for Sylvester Stallone <3A poor man's "A Bug's Life".
A poor man's "A Bug's Life".I lol'd. Havent seen A Bug's life yet. Is it at least funny?
Oh yeah so I saw the Hobbit. WAY too fucking long. Wanted the movie to finish like 6 times before it did. I did not appreciate the dead animals.
I saw the Amazing Spiderman this afternoon. The only amazing thing about the movie is how they managed to cast the least suitable candidate voor the leading role. I won't be upset if there won't be any sequels.
Oh yeah so I saw the Hobbit. WAY too fucking long. Wanted the movie to finish like 6 times before it did. I did not appreciate the dead animals.Were you seriously expecting the Hobbit to be only 90 minutes long? I love that it was 3 hours, they went through so many good scenes that would have sucked if they were edited out. Didnt notice any dead animals..where were they?
I lol'd. Havent seen A Bug's life yet. Is it at least funny?A Bug's Life is great. I haven't seen it in a while but I remember really liking it.
Were you seriously expecting the Hobbit to be only 90 minutes long? I love that it was 3 hours, they went through so many good scenes that would have sucked if they were edited out.I expected maybe 2 hours. It's the Hobbit! It's a little kid's book!
Didnt notice any dead animals..where were they?In the forest before they met the weird hippie with shit on his head.
Apparently, several animals involved in the movie died due to abuse and poor conditions. I was telling Merla that when I do see the Hobbit, every time I see a horse or something, I'm gonna wonder if it was one of the ones that died.Even worse! I forgot about that. -_-;

Apparently, several animals involved in the movie died due to abuse and poor conditions.

Also, the movie's 169 minutes long and is part one of three. Considering how stretched out the material must be, I think that's too long. That's extended cut length. It's longer than the first part of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and that one was based on a single book. It's like watching the last episode of singing competition like AI or the Voice where they strettttttcccch out a five minute moment to two or three hours. Somebody told me it takes Bilbo, like, 30 minutes to pack. Can anyone verify that?
But dem dwarves be funny (one of them is hot too :3)
I remember hearing that about the animals but Peter Jackson said it wasnt true.
So? I find the image of dead animals upsetting, whether they're real or not.
But they were obvs fake :-\
Beauty in the BeastI'd be looking for the other way around really...
I'm watching Beauty and the Beast. Our TV in the living room has a sound issue so most stuff sounds fine but sometimes in a show or movie, someone will say a line and it won't be audible because it's supposed to heard with the other speaker that doesn't work. So some of the songs in Beauty and the Beast come out sounding "censored". Ha ha. And I keep wanting to type Beauty in the Beast, which I'm certain is a whole other movie.

The Disney one?
this reminded me, I used to loooove the Beauty and the Beast tv program, you know, the one with Ron Perlman. My mom too. I just found out the dude was Ron Perlman like a couple of months ago and my mind was blown
For me, Emma Stone was the only good thing about the movie

I thought her acting was mediocre.
I thought her acting was mediocre.
Well... I wasn't really referring to her acting abilities
I knew him from B&tB, then Hellboy, then for his voicework (I ♥ his voice), then in the movies Alien Resurrection and Cronos, then for Sons of Anarchy, then for some other movies that actually deserved to be named even less than Alien Resurrection. Perlman was one half of why I watched Sons to begin with. The other half consisting of Katey Sagal and motorcyles.
Oh, yeah... can't wait for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Rim_%28film%29
Am watching Commando now. He's about the drop that dude off the cliff right now. "I lied."One of Arnold's all-time greats. I nearly whizzed myself when I found it at Walmart in a three packed bluray with Predator and Terminator for ten bucks.
I watched You've Got Mail. Sorta. For the 10,000th time. Except I finally bought it on DVD and got it just today. So the VHS can kinda retire. Although disappointed that the songs are not captioned or subtitled in any way. I like to think in the event I go completely or mostly deaf, my DVDs and shit can accomidate me. So I tend to be annoyed by little things like that.I LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie.

Yeah. As in music that plays in the background and sets the mood, not like Tom Hanks singing or something.
Dollars earned doesn't make a movie good or bad. It does, however, determine if it is a flop or not.
Richard Gere is still alive?And more delicious than ever
Bolt was a Disney-only production.QuoteTangled and Wreck-It Ralph are arguably better than most of Pixar's recent output.Haven't seen Wreck-It Ralph but I prefered Tangled and Bolt to anything they've put out since Wall-E.
Really. You don't have to watch it all at once. It's separated into acts like most of Tarantino's stuff.But once I start watching a movie I need to watch all of it! :(
Faye, I know this will be very upsetting for you, but...
Keanu Reeves is a terrible actor, and a horrible person.
I'm so sorry.
Unless you to take her eggs, then she will bust a cap in your ass.
I never noticed that "haters gonna hate" bird at the bottom of that picture. Has it always been there?Unless you to take her eggs, then she will bust a cap in your ass.
lol, ha, totally didn't know she was chick though. That's what I get for only sticking around during that three-way fight with Godzilla, Mothra and some other joker. Merla thought Mothra was so cute.
I saw Wreck it Ralph, which was quite dissapointing.Have you watched Grave of the Fireflies already?
Not a lot wrong with it, pretty standard Disney fare, but it didn't get a single laugh out of me.
fuuuck i wish i knew he lived in nyc when i was living there. i would have so stalked his sexy ass

That movie presented a very uncompelling case for UFOs being aliens.I WANT TO BELIEVE
What's bull shit, the movie or me not buying the bull shit movie?omg please dont even let me start on that
Polygraphs tests are not admissable in court for a reason, they're unreliable. This was the only "evidence" presented in the movie. The rest was nonsense. From how it was presented it sounds like the UFO could have been something as mundane as the moon.
If there's alien life they're either more intelligent than us so they'll find us first, or they're dumber than us in which case I want nothing to do with them.If they're dumber than they won't be here. Even if they're more intelligent they still might not be able to get here.
Oz the Great and Powerful was Francotastic!
That's always how I thought about it. If Aliens were showing up and taking people. I doubt they doing it to impart some cosmic wisdom. Nope, we are more likely just the wild animal in the reserve that needs to be tagged and bagged. Take some blood, get some eggs or semen and then dump you back off someplace wondering what the fuck just happened. Just like we do to animals.
And dwarves get taller and some of them hotter? There's hot dwarves?DAMN RIGHT. Fili and Kili (especially the latter)are hawt. Cant wait till the 2nd movie with my favorite elf is in it.
You know what bothered me the most? That Radagast the Brown had bird shit in his hair.
I just watched Twister. I love this movie. I actually went to see it to the theater with my dad when it first came out
Muppets was so fucking horrible. I didn't even see the part with Selena Gomez in it. Wish I'd caught that as the part of that piece of shit train wreck I was exposed to.
There were no jokes aside from it being Muppets. The trailer was the same. Here's a very standard story and *record scratch* MUPPETS!!! So? Who the fuck cares. They're Muppets. The Muppets need to do something funny to be funny. The mere presence of Muppets does not make anything good. And the singing. Ugh. Horrible singing. This movie just did nothing to engage me on any level. I do not love Muppets so there's nothing here for me.Muppets was so fucking horrible. I didn't even see the part with Selena Gomez in it. Wish I'd caught that as the part of that piece of shit train wreck I was exposed to.
Why was it horrible for you? I'm interested in knowing.
Spoilers: They don't make it to the Lonely Mountain yet. I ruins it 4 u ho ho ho.dewbnu,;/
No, man, her daughter's like 8 or 18 or something.18? i wish
So your kiddles are Lilli 'n Vivi? :)yes lol
So Hunger Games appeared on Netflix streaming and I decided (despite my issues with it) "why the fuck not" and watched it. Thoughts:Im surprised, I thought she was supposed to be a good actress? (not watching that movie anytime soon tho)
2. Jennifer Lawrence has one facial expression: chubby-cheeked, semi-gaping duck-pout.
3. I don't see why Jennifer Lawrence is hot shit. If this movie is anything to go by, she kinda stinks. This movie would've been better with an actress that fit the part.
I see your point. Muppets are the only thing to enjoy about it and if you don't enjoy Muppets... well that's that. Did you even like The Muppet Movie? Have you seen it? Did you watch Sesame Street as kid or just shake your fist at the screen? I'm assuming Sesame Street got ported to Canada somehow because it seems obvious to me...Probably as a child but I was an idiot. I recall liking Sesame Street but I never recall having a fondness for anything but the Muppet Babies as Muppets go.
Jennifer Lawrence is hotThis.
Im surprised, I thought she was supposed to be a good actress? (not watching that movie anytime soon tho)
I think a lot of people like her for her personality. Did you see that video of her and Jack Nicholson? I thought it was cute (him more than her)
My eyes!!! Why do they burns-es us!?lold. totally read that in Gollum's voice.
Adrianne Palicki
That's how I read all Beck's posts. Aloud. In public.
Yeah, I was able to sit through the Hobbit a few times. Goddammit, I wanna see the damn Sherlock dragon already.
Yeah. You know. Benatar Cumberbund. He's in everything these days.

When you say "Sherlock", you are of course talking about Elementary starring Lucy Liu, yes?
Spring Breakers.What does that means? Do you get to see James Franco's john thomas?

Goddamn, feller. Once in the theater was enough for me. And then fifty-something hundred times once it came out on DVD.
If I was there I just would have been "but...they aren't elves. They are Hobbits. I bet they do make good cookies though."
I have to say I liked it far better than I thought I would. I was very skeptical of turning the Hobbit into a huge movie trilogy, but it turned out pretty well so far. There are still lots of scenes I would have cut out (like most scenes with Radagast the Poopstained), but overall it's a very entertaining movie. It also helps that New Zealand is as beautiful as ever and the music was excellent throughout the entire movie.
When part 2 comes out I might actually go watch it in the cinema
If I was there I just would have been "but...they aren't elves. They are Hobbits. I bet they do make good cookies though."
Except I was talking to Arwen... as Eowyn. Because, you know, she never had a shot at Aragorn's Lonely Mountain or whatever. It was literally the part right before she put her hair in a ponytail and removed her earrings.
wtf all the bitches in that movie are fugly. serena (or is it selena) gomez looks like a maid i had. vanessa hudgens(sp?) has a moustache etc etc
It probably means he popped a mad boner for the little girls.
Oblivion | Tom Cruise! Science fiction! Kind of bland! Kind of derivative!
I watched like 5 minutes of "Little Buddha". Keanu Reeves as a hindu, wtf Hollywood?
What does that means? Do you get to see James Franco's john thomas?I don't know what that means but yes.
It probably means he popped a mad boner for the little girls.Not sure I'd phrase it that way.
I feel bad for Keanu. He really is shit now. Nobody wants him in their movies anymore, so he has to do his own thing.you shut your filthy mouth!
Why not? You're, like, her mom's age, right? If you had tapped Selena Gomez's teen mom, you could've been her daddy. ;DShe's like 1 or 2 years older than me by my math. I'd do the Mother/Daughter on that family.
Ha ha, two pieces of Texas toast with Canadian bacon.
She references it in one of her more popular songs.
I mean um, I don't listen to that stuff.
Watched half of Django yesterday. TOO LONG
I saw Iron Man 3...liked it for the most part, except how they handled the Mandarin.

I just watched Evangelion 3.33 last night. Holy shit. I'll have to elaborate in the Anime Thread at a later date.
Don't worry. I'll have to watch it at least another two or three times to form a somewhat coherent opinion on it. It was a mind-job, all right.lol whats new? eva has always been a mind fuck
On the Standard Evangelion WTF Scale from 1-to-10, this whole movie hovers precariously around 15.REALLY??? Do you know if its being streamed somewhere or just downloads atm?
REALLY??? Do you know if its being streamed somewhere or just downloads atm?
Finally finished to watch Django. So much unnecessary blood, Tarantino over did it. Also didnt like it much cause again IT WAS TOO DAMN LONG. But Christoph Waltz is amazing

So it was a Tarantino film?
I was all up in that shit way beforeChristopher Walken's ass?
What's wrong with Whedon? I think Avengers has major flaws but it was the best we could hope for.
Saw Django.TOO LONG
Despite another awful performance by Pitt, I quite liked it
Maybe it's just that your attention span is too short dear.
Not that mine is any better, cause I just realized it wasn't Pitt but DiCaprio that was stinking up Django.
Went to that new Star Trek movie last night. And I think I'll have to say it's all right.
Whatever Abrams ends up crapping out for Disney, I have every confidence it will be infinitely better than the prequels. Perhaps even on par with the originals...? Hmm-hmm! Hmm! Hmm! Hmm-hmm! (http://youtu.be/TdiJt19PZlY)
In my mind Pitt came in for a 30 min cameo make out session with DiCaprio.
Can you guys please tell me where the f--- is the accent of Rapunzel's mother from? My daughter loves the movie and I think its cute and funny but everytime I hear the (fake) mother's accent I want to kill myself. Sounds kind of bostonian- staten island mix. Terrible terribleI get a New England vibe out of it but then I'm not American so I'm not too keen on all the nuances.
I went to see Star Trek into Khan today. I described it to a cousin as being "quite enjoyable but annoying". It was fun in the same vein as the previous flick but so beholden to Wrath of Khan that it became a huge distraction. I would go so far as to say it was a total remake of TWOK, but since that was a damn good movie, at least they drew from a good source.
Speaking of TWOK, I just finished rewatching it a few minutes ago. It was the better movie, in my estimation, but I still enjoyed STiD.
Lois looks dull. They should've vamped her up.I would love to see a Vampire Lois Lane!
One of the reasons I so fondly remember Superman 3 is because of Annette O'Toole as Lana. It made up for Richard Pryor's ass being in it.Wasn't that only 4, also known as the worst movie of all time?
How about Supergirl? Remember that one? Yeah, you do. Just admit it.
I watched these three Masterpiece Mystery movies about two Navajo cops based on some book series. I liked it. Too bad they only made three. It was nice seeing Wes Studi actually play the stern but good-hearted hero as opposed to the freakish "savage" role he's best known for. Like evil Last of the Mohicans Indian. Or fierce Dances With Wolves Indian. Or fuckin' blue Space Indian from Avatar. Or... um... fuckin' Sagat.
Anyway, I finally saw Clerks II. I can see why that critic asshole reviewer walked out of it. I liked most of the characters, the basic premise, some of the jokes. Others fell flat and everything seemed lazily put together. And the donkey thing. Yech. That reeked of being put in for a dare or as director wank of some kind. Overall, the movie really needed someone to put their foot down and edit it better. And what was with Jason Lee? It was like someone sucked the life outta him or something. Shit.
I also really liked it. It is my favorite of all the films he has done.
I just recently saw Zak and Miri Make a Porno, and I really liked that one.That movie, to me, was a 101 min long (yeah i checked it) cringe
I have to say I almost squealed with glee when I heard the critics completely destroyed the movie
After Earth is a decent movie. Shyamalan is not yet creatively bankrupt.
I just recently saw Zak and Miri Make a Porno, and I really liked that one.That movie, to me, was a 101 min long (yeah i checked it) cringe
I like that one a lot too....I get called crazy a lot but my least favorite of his films is Chasing Amy. I'm not saying it is bad or that I hate it. I love that flick, but out of his stuff (that I've seen) it is my least favorite. But I haven't seen like Jersey Girl, or Red State. I just recently saw Zak and Miri Make a Porno, and I really liked that one. But I mean if you think the Donkey Show was done a bet then this one...wow.
After Earth is a decent movie. Shyamalan is not yet creatively bankrupt.I have to say I almost squealed with glee when I heard the critics completely destroyed the movie
I know I've seen Jersey Girl. Oh wait, it's coming back to me. George Carlin was in Jersey Girl. And Raquel Castro who later came out in the Voice played the kid. *GOOGLE* Okay, and Liv Tyler. You know, I remember liking it but talk about being forgetable. I recall now that it was decent but people watching it and expecting all the madcap shit from a regular Kevin Smith film are going to likely be pretty fuckin' disappointed. Which probably explains why it bombed.
mfw
Ha ha, when I read the reviews and the box office disappointment, I swear I could feel the warmth of your smile.
fucckk i forgot that one! brb searching it in youtube
I have bulldog skin when it comes to cringe stuff, but there is one scene that made that happen to me too. And it wasn't Jason Mewes dick either.
I saw Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires and Watchmen: The Director's Cut. Which the Director's Cut wasn't that much different then the theatrical cut. I thought this was the one that had all the Black Freighter stuff added in, but nope.

I can't stand all the squeeing fan girls that guy has.THANK.
Anyone else miss all the nudity the 80s had? they seem to not have any nudity in modern movies anymore.For sure but there was way too much bush in the 80s.
Watching lots of stuff I never would have... like... What to Expect While Expecting. OMFG that movie is awful.
Interesting fact about the matrix. I don't know if any of you were familiar with that lady (that at the time I thought was a nut) who said they stole her script. Turns out they did steal it and she sued and won.
But I'm not paying perfectly good money on the two train wrecks that followed it.
Hmm, might chell out Iron Sky if it's still on streaming.
ZOMG ITS THE 47 RONIN TRAILER WITH MY HUSBANDO KEANU
Admission is a mediocre comedy starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd who are both better in other things.
Why would you not care for them banging and going to war? You have a better plot device? No you don't.

Because nothing can be criticized unless the critic has a better solution. Gimme a break, swampie. Besides, there's a million cooler, less petty reasons for two supers to go to war.
Didn't know Flashpoint was out yet. Thanks for the heads up.
It must really suck for Superman that the only chick he can have sex with without killing is either his relative or Wonder Woman. Actually...that doesn't suck. I'd have sex with Wonder Woman.I always thought he should have taken up with Maxima when she turned into a marginally "good guy". Angry tsundere redhead? Sign me up!
...though I did like the JLU dynamic of Diana and Bruce.
Does heterosexual sex piss you off or something?
I watched Monsters Uni a couple of weeks ago. It was funny (couldnt understand a lot since it was in german unfortunately). Havent seen the first one completely so I wonder if it was funnier than this one or not
Now my girl wants to watch the Smurfs 2, fuck.
Oh, oh yeah, I saw Snow White and Huntsman. LOL K-Stew can only make that one disgusted face. Someone stop giving this chick work.Maybe when she stop sucking the directors' dicks.

I saw The Conjuring a week or two ago. It's pretty good.shit im dying to watch that one but the only movie theater near here shows all their movies in german :(
I thought I had watched another movie since then, but I can't think of what it was.
I subjected myself to some of Titanic since it's now on streaming. I can't believe this movie was such a huge hit. It's LOTR length for no good reason. And there wasn't any other shit for his ass to float on? He just *had* to stay in the water and freeze? There were so many things wrong. Don't worry, I washed it out with some DS9.Did you know theres "Titanic 2"? Think about that for a sec.
I can't believe this movie was such a huge hit. It's LOTR length for no good reason.Sounds like 1/3 of the Hobbit.
Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters. Not nearly as bad as I'd heard, but not a shining example of high cinema. But it wins the award for worst use of Famke Janssen who acted under heavy makeup for the majority of her screen time.
"I Declare War" and "Justice League Flashpoint Paradox" The best two movies I've seen this summer. Hollywood really let me down this summer. I still have hope for Elysium though.

I wouldn't put too much hope in that flick...but even if it is good that movie has flop smell all over it.
Oh, OH, are we taking bets? I think it'll just about break even. Not enough to be a hit, but enough to merit a shitty sequel without Damon in it. Or if he dies, the sequel will be certain to have Damon in it.
Well 11 mill on Friday...so that's like a 33-35 mill weekend. If it doesn't drop off too much in the 2nd week it might make the break even and even point. Maybe even a little bit of profit. Really thought Planes would put up more of a fight.
I want a full ensemble cast of all the joes vs all of cobra. Huge battles, insane vehicles, etc. Just like the fucking cartoon.
Anyone seen the Guardians of the Galaxy comic con trailer? I still don't understand what this is suppose to be. Are they super heroes, space pirates or some kind of Firefly ripoff?
What would have been cool would have been to have GI Joe 1 be about Hawk, Duke, Ripcord, Scarlett, and Snake Eyes whooping up on Destro and Baroness and 2 be about Roadblock, Flint, Lady Jaye, Jinx and John McClane beating Zartan, Firefly, and Storm Shadow, and then have them all join up for the conclusion of a trilogy to kick Cobra Commander's ass. But they didn't plan anything ahead with this, and we're left with an incredibly bad piece of celluloid crap and one somewhat north of marginal movie.

Miyazaki stuff if very same-face. I can't unsee the previous characters of the earlier works from the later films.I thought the same thing! When I was first saw Jiro I was thinking "thats so lame he looks like Mei's dad in Totoro" but then I looked at a pic of the real Jiro and holy shit thats exactly how he looks like
Watching a Miyazaki movie is like watching a live action Asian movie. All the actors look the same and you can't tell them apart because they have Asian names.lold

They're coming to inspect all the apartments on sept 11. I'm not supposed to have a cat. IF they fucking send my cat back the pound to die I will do something so drastic it will change the world. Specifically the eastern seaboard. They better not fuck with my cat. I'm a level 11 intellect they will fucking pay brainiac style if something happens to that cat.

Saw the Conjuring. Scary shit. Ive always been a fan of the Warrens
Then I watched Hot Rod. Weird but funny.
One of the family members still say its real and the dad never denied it either.
Weren't they the ones that were saying that Amityville was real though?
Carrie is the shiznit. I only expect disappointed when watching the new one with that girl that has no appeal whatsoever
Weren't they the ones that were saying that Amityville was real though?
No I don't think so. Fucking Hollywood man, why do they remake all these good moviessssss! let the movies alone!Carrie is the shiznit. I only expect disappointed when watching the new one with that girl that has no appeal whatsoever
Weren't they the ones that were saying that Amityville was real though?
I thought Chloe Grace Moretz has looked pretty good in teasers for it. It's not going to live up to the original, but I think it will be better than the other 4 or 5 remakes.
No I don't think so. Fucking Hollywood man, why do they remake all these good moviessssss! let the movies alone!
I doubt the new one has a slow motion high school girl locker room with 70s bush.Nor the main actress' tittays
Funny story...that's not Jesus. I thought it was too at first, but I watched a making of the movie that came on the DVD and it is actually St. Sebastian. And they went back and filmed those scenes after the scene where Carrie's mom is impaled with the knives. They went back and found that saint and made the statue to resemble her and then filmed that stuff in the closet. In the original script Carrie was suppose to stop her moms heart with her mind...which is what happened in the book.He looks pretty bang-able in the google images.
Thor: The Dark World.
It was good, but I didn't like it as much as the first one. More Loki and Darcy...less Jane Foster. Would have made the movie a lot better.
Portman shits up anything she is in.Dude have you seen Closer? if you havent, watch it. By far my favorite movie ever and she kills it.
Maybe she should've put on her Black Swan get-up and done a little dance.
Portman shits up anything she is in. The weakest part of V for Vendetta, weakest part of Your Highness (which is saying a lot because that whole movie was shit.), weakest part of The Professional, not the weakest part of Mars Attacks, but that was the script and directing, but after that...weakest, and a tie for Hayden as the weakest part of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
I have never seen Black Swan or Closer...maybe she is better in those, but to me it's like watching cardboard act.Dont watch Closer then. Lots of thong action in that movie. But youre right she has no ass.
And for the pete's sake stop putting her in thongs in movies...she doesn't have the ass for that.
I have never seen Black Swan or Closer...maybe she is better in those, but to me it's like watching cardboard act.
Could be much worse. I was sitting with my cousin's sick children this weekend and all they wanted to watch was Adventure Time or something. The animation was shitty.Goddamn she likes to watch it too.
I also saw The Hobbit 2 this weekend.Wait until they release the extended versions in a couple of years.
It was pretty good, but they kept changing stuff that didn't need to be changed and it was mostly to shorten stuff. which is ironic in this flick.
Was Legolas that much of an ass in the book?Legolas wasn't even in the Hobbit book!
Darn I just remembered I knew that (someone mentioned it before). I feel dumb now.Was Legolas that much of an ass in the book?Legolas wasn't even in the Hobbit book!
In fact, Gimli was around 65 years old when the events of the Hobbit took place. He was considered too young for the quest...the next youngest, Kili, was 77.
Brothers, but not twins. Fili was the older of the two and was actually Thorin's heir. Filil was 82, and Kili was 77.wait why was Fili Thorin's heir? are they related?
And I was wrong about Gimli's age. I looked it up...he was 62 at the time of the Quest of Erebor. Not that it really matters, but still.
Fili and Kili are Thorin's nephews, and he had no son. Fili was the older of the two, so he was next in line.intredasting
Key word: WAS. *snerk*
They could do a shit movie, I would still love it.(same for Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movies)

This reminds me, I've been meaning to re-watch Joe vs. the Volcano. I saw it when it first came out but remember nothing about it. Because I was nine. And probably too busy partaking of a king-sized Reese's to pay attention.
I remember seeing Return of the Jedi. That would have been 83....maybe 84. Unless it was a re-release. But I also remember having ROTJ action figures and bubble gum cards.Shit man I was born in 83. How old are you exactly?
I saw the desolation of Smaug today.
Yeah I know it's late, but I'm not much of a moviegoer

Anyway great movie, although Stephen Fry could have been a little less Stephen Fry (learn how to act old boy).
Still amazed that they managed to turn a little book like the Hobbit in a major blockbuster trilogy, but it's working. Looking forward to the third part.
Oh, and they showed a trailer for the new 300 movie, I probably want to go see that as well at some point.
Pls grow your hair again, dress like Legolas and come visit me
Frozen: cant believe this shit won 2 oscars. Cant believe Let it go won an oscar for best song, it sucks. Why is a 60 year old granny doing the voice of a 21 year old? She seriously makes her sound like a grandma and her singing voice sucks in my opinion. Everytime she would sing crescendo I was waiting for her voice to crack. YES I know shes a broadway star but that just proves that you need two things to success in that field: 1) be good at sucking dicks, and 2) be a jew.
Also it was completely unfunny, only laughed a couple of times and that was because Olaf is a little weird. Also a song every 5 minutes? fuck that. The main guy was ugly af too and the faces of the two girls made me want to punch them. 2/10 (1 point for Olaf and one for the girls' dad who is/was a total dilf).
tl;dr: will hide the dvd so my daughter doesnt make me watch this pos again
At the premiere, I was surprised to learn the movie was now being marketed to the 'seven and under crowd.'
and Legolas scaled back even more.
A lot of what is in the movie wasnt in the book and viceversa so I can see why people that loved the book dont really love the movie.
I also saw Desolation of Smaug. Which should be renamed Desolation of Snore. Tauriel needed to be scaled back and Legolas scaled back even more. Half of this movie should've been cut. It could've just been put into the inevitable Extended Edition anyway. The Orcs or whatever have entire scenes to themselves. I don't want to watch the fuckin' Orcs have a fuckin' dialogue. And that "one ring" music. You know the music. It makes me want to strangle someone. We freakin' get it: Frodo has the one ring and shit and he's like tempted or whatever. Even the dragon's shit was too drawn out. The dragon reminds me of those old people I sometimes get on the other end of the phone at work and you know they have no one to talk to and they're fuckin' lonely so you just listen to them talk out of pity but, really, you'd rather be making a sandwich instead because they have nothing worth saying. And did the Bard say he was "born and bred" on the water. He was bred on the water. I know what he meant but the line came off weird. Like he wasn't even allowed a bed or sack of potatoes to do his business on.
I like what they've done with the Hobbit.
Sure they added a ton of shit that wasn't in the book but you already knew that when they first announced they were making a little book like that in a major blockbuster trilogy.
At least the second part didn't have all that stuff with Radagast the poopstained

I'm dreading the Hobbit 2 Extended Edition. All the first EE had was more of the same extraneous additional stuff that I hated. The only exception was the single scene which should have been included in the theatrical version where Elrond explained to Lindir why he didn't support the Erebor mission. You know, something that's kinda sorta important...way more than watching 12 nasty-ass dwarves skinny-dipping in an elven fountain. I don't think I'm going to buy another EE with more of the shit I hate to get the one odd scene that should have been included to start with.Wait who is Lindir? In which page can I find it? ( I dont remember reading this at all, holy shit my memory is getting worse and worse)
47 Ronin.Wait so does that means that you liked it?
It was terrible. *Thumbs up*
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
This is the one were they kill off Godzilla to make room for the 98 Godzilla movie. Which worked out real well...
Relevant.Wow everybody hooks up with everybody in Hollywood huh. Who's that asian girl on the far right?
Who's that guy with the purple background, is that Fez? (whatever his real name is)
The guy with the Purple Background isn't guy from the Big Bang....looks more like Fez from The 70's Show.

Oh, and I saw a doc the other day presented by Chris Rock called Good Hair. It's about black women's hair. It was very interesting but it spent too much time on the whole hair competition thing. Cutting hair upside down and from inside an aquarium and to a marching band? WOW. I had no idea weaves were so goddamn pricy. Or the horrendous chemicals that go into relaxers.One week in Philly will automatically make you an expert on all things wigs
I do feel like watching Robin Williams, you know, since he died and all.ight.Really? To me is the exact opposite. Ive been meaning on watching Hook for a while now (got the dvd in London) but I definitely don't want to watch it anytime soon. RIP
Last I checked on Instant Watcher, a lot of people are queuing Robin Williams movies. I don't have that feel. He was a talent and I didn't dislike the man but I recall reading about his depression years ago and you could see (or hear, whichever) the total desperation in the man which really made his performances uncomfortable. And I'm not even referring to his dramatic roles.
...Optimus was even more killcrazy than in the last one...
Why oh whyyy is Scarlett Johansson being considered for the lead of Ghost in the Shell? She doesn't have the body or anything for the matter. Ah Hollywood. Well at least it wasn't any fucking person from Will Smith7s family.
The Wicker Man (The Nick Cage one) and it was terrible.
Never saw TF4. Probably never will.Meeeeeeeeee! It comes out on Friday so Im planning to see it twice on that day, morning and night (the 2nd time with my husband). Im leaving for Germany on Sunday so I def won't have time to watch it again on the theatres, hence why Im going twice on the same day.
So...who's seeing teh third Habbitt movie this week? I'm probably going to wait until the week after Christmas when I'm off-work.
I've been watching a lot of Muppets lately. It's a good thing.
Saw the movie. and Goddamn. It was SO GOOD. I knew how was it going to end and holy fuck it still shocked me and gave me a million feels. Martin Freeman's acting was gut wrenching at the end, I still get shivers just thinking about it.Freeman's a good actor, but way too quirky for my liking. But he did nail that part.
Im not going to spoil anything but fuck you Peter Jackson for making the Tauriel+ Kili "thing". I literally shook my head and snorted at a couple of scenes because of these two.I totally didn't care for this aspect of it and don't understand the genesis of it. Sure, I understand wanting to throw an important female character in there, but why? So she can get saved by Legolas or Kili or whatever? That's totally negating the point of her inclusion.
Dain (and his war hog) was BOSS.Word! I could watch a whole movie of irritable Scotsmen hollering BUGGAH and riding armored boars through trolls and shit.
I may end up watching Hobbit 3 but only when Merla inevitably buys the DVD release. Kinda like SW and Transformers, I just don't care like I used to. What I am interested in is someone making all three Hobbits into one solid Hobbit film. Or even two, I suppose. If any of you see that shit floating around online sometime, hook me up. Because somebody has to do it. So it must be done. They could even cut that Tauriel bs for Faye-Faye. I'm totally down for an editted Hobbit. But bloated-ass films don't cut it for me.There are fan cuts of the first two that are allegedly awesome (here's one for instance) (http://www.fanedit.org/ifdb/component/content/article/79-fanedit-listings/fanfix/962-the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey-arkenstone-edition), but I haven't been able to find out where to download them yet.
All told, this movie was just proof that Hobbit should have been two movies rather than three. Aside from the Smaug attack and people mobilization at the beginning, the whole movie was nothing but slow development of the battle, and the battle itself was far more drawn out than it should have been. And when it's over, Bilbo just...goes home. No stopping by Beorn's, no stopping at Rivendell, no getting treasure at the troll hoard...I guess we were lucky to get him home in time for the auction, and then fading out to Ian Holm. No Gandalf & Balin visit, no showing king Dain and king Bard coming into their own...they're just left behind. Maybe they'll include that in the extended edition; I'm expecting a huge EE for this movie, since excluding the credits it was barely over two hours long.
Me: Well...they should have stuck with just two movies 12:48 AM
Me: This thing was barely over two hours long (discounting the massive credit sequence) 12:49 AM
Me: First fifteen minutes was killing Smaug 12:49 AM
Me: Next fifteen was Elrond and Saruman ninja-ing Dul Guldurian orcs to death, Galadriel hulking out and beating the Necromancer, and Doctor Birdpoop whisking Gandalf to his love shack long enough for the old fruit to remember he sentenced Bilbo to death by sending him dragon hunting 12:52 AM
Me: Then it was lake townies getting to Dale, being fed by the moose-borne ninja master of Mirkwood himself, and Legolas and token female elf heading off to Gundabad for some reason. Or to mack, or something. 12:54 AM
Matthew: Ouch...at least it wasn't the second one, amirite? 12:55 AM
Me: Then it's a lot of grimacing and threatening until Dain showed up on a freaking ARMORED BO HOG and started whooping head! 12:55 AM
Me: Easily the coolest part of the hexology 12:56 AM
Matthew: Besides the rabbit sled, you mean 12:56 AM
Me: No that was ghey 12:57 AM
Me: Rhosgobel = faggotry 12:57 AM
Me: So any way, Thorin gets a cool battle to the death, but they messed it up by having Azog whack Fili and Bolg snuff Kili first 1:00 AM
Me: None of the other dwarves had any worthwhile part in this show 1:00 AM
Me: I really liked Bard in this movie...he was a boss 1:03 AM
Matthew: Please tell me there aren't any more thinly veiled penis jokes 1:03 AM
Me: OH... Forgot about the Beorn bombardment. 1:03 AM
Me: No none I remember 1:03 AM
Matthew: Bard was pretty meh in the last one...glad they redeemed him a bit 1:04 AM
Matthew: And the wind lance crap in the last one was stupid too 1:05 AM
Me: But anyway...Beorn rides in with the eagles, jumps off, maximizes into Beast Mode in midair and immediately begins mailing everything in town 1:05 AM
Me: Wind lands were nowhere to be found... It was actually cool what they did 1:06 AM
Me: But the freaking war hogs and beast wars air force...I really enjoyed those parts 1:07 AM
Matthew: Sounds like fun 1:16 AM
Me: Thorin's use of battle goats was fun, too... just not enough 1:16 AM
Matthew: And it sounds like it wasn't as ridiculously long and tedious as the first two 1:17 AM
Me: I could watch a whole movie of nothing but those three thing 1:17 AM
Me: No, no...you'd be wrong, there 1:17 AM
Me: It was quite tedious except for this fleeting parts 1:18 AM
Me: The ending was crap 1:18 AM
Me: After the battle, Bilbo literally just says later dudes, then he and Gandalf ride home in time for the very abbreviated auction 1:19 AM
Me: And then it switches back to Ian Holm as old Bilbo in time for Gandalf to arrive for the 111st birthday 1:19 AM
Me: Tha end 1:20 AM
Me: No burial of Thorin, no installment of Dain and Bard as kings, no visit at Bagend with Gandalf and Balin 1:21 AM
Matthew: But I'm sure the extraneous Billy Boyd song at the end made up for all of that 1:22 AM
Me: It was unobtrusive 1:22 AM
Me: If I hasn't known it was going to be done, I wouldn't have noticed 1:22 AM
Me: I figure the armchair directors that bitched and moaned so much about the end of ROTK influenced that 1:23 AM
Matthew: Yeah after 9 hours of movies, how dare they drag out an ending by making it meaningful 1:26 AM
Matthew: I hope Christopher Lee got a nice sendoff 1:27 AM
Matthew: At any rate 1:27 AM
Me: He was totally ninja 1:28 AM
Me: Didn't look nearly as crusty add he did in hobbit part uno 1:28 AM
Me: Then again they might have said screw it let's CGI him up 1:29 AM
Me: I mean, over half of Legolas' screen time was CGI 1:29 AM
Me: Going to bed now... I'm so old 1:32 AM
Me: Hope I dream of armored bo' hogs... 1:33 AM
Me: And skydiving bears 1:33 AM
Me: And battle goats 1:33 AM
Me: http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/OpZ8mZy.jpg (http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/OpZ8mZy.jpg) 1:34 AM
Matthew: Legolas kinda looks a bit like Barbie these days 1:39 AM
Matthew: It's nice that they gave Holm a refit though 1:40 AM
Me: The war hog was like a Rohirrim low rider 1:40 AM
Matthew: And oh my, Billy Connolly 1:40 AM
Me: Holm didn't look so old and decrepit in this as he did in the old LOTR pitchers 1:41 AM
Me: Scotsmen screaming "BUGGA", swinging war hammers and riding bo' hogs should be a movie by itself 1:42 AM
Matthew: Oh sorry, Lee not Holm. Dunno why I was thinking Bilbo. Though he could've used a touch up as well 1:42 AM
Me: Braveheart with souce 1:42 AM
Me: Lee looked not a day over 70 1:43 AM
Matthew: He looked pretty grim in part one. They musta done a lotta work given how ancient he looks irl 1:45 AM
Matthew: He has some videos on YouTube and he looks/sounds a thousand 1:45 AM
Me: Those were from the EE extras 1:53 AM
Me: He was pretty feeble 1:53 AM
Me: Like I said they may have just CG'ed him up this time. 1:53 AM
The master did not die in the book until a while after the battle.
Cap1 was my favorite Marvel movie. Cap2 might top it, but I'll need to watch them back to back to say for sure...they're definitely my top two. Iron Man 1 is probably tied at third with Avengers, which I'd follow with Guardians. GotG being in my personal top five...it wasn't so bad, now that I think about it, but it wasn't great (just like the first Iron Man, basically). Still better than the latter two Iron Men, both Thors, and any Hulks.
Isn't James Franco in Spring Breakers? I believe they mentioned that a time or two during his CC roast.Yes, he played the white rapper guy, looked exactly like that one that is kinda famous (can't remember his name right now but he looks trashy af).
For Your Height Only- A spoof of James Bond starring a 2' 9" little person as Agent OO. Whole movie is on YouTube for anyone that is curious.

In the later part of that, did he actually sneak in that place with three bullets in his gun? It seemed like he shot three guys once and then ran out of bullets. Oh well, that's what I get for skipping around but it was still funny to see that.
nothing about Beorn (despite his divebombing a phalanx of orcs during the Eagle sequence) starting a new race of Beornings that could henshin into motherloving bears...just, screw you guys, I'm going huuuumm to Bag-damn-end!
And while I didn't think the whole elf-dwarf relationship had much chemistryThey aren't supposed to have any chemistry at all, they have hated each other since almost the beginning
I meant Kili and Tauriel. Not much actual chemistry there.And while I didn't think the whole elf-dwarf relationship had much chemistryThey aren't supposed to have any chemistry at all, they have hated each other since almost the beginning
Thingol was also ok with them but we all know how that ended
As per usual I'm way behind when it comes to watching movies, but I finally made a little dent in to-watch movie pile.
I saw the following:
300 - Rise of an Empire
Awful, awful movie, it's a miracle I made it through to the end. It's not like the first one had much going for it in terms of plot and acting but at least it had some interestingly filmed action scenes. This movie just bored me to tears. The only good thing I can say about it is that the lead actress has a nice pair of tits, but since I already saw them in the Sin City movie even that added nothing.
Also ending a movie just before the big battle is about to start is stupid. I guess they're planning to make a third one but I won't be seeimg it.
I would make it my lot in life to hold them up for her everywhere she goes.Ive heard big boobs get sweaty underneath
Already watched Kung Fury. Damn fun.
Kung Fury: The Trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72RqpItxd8M)
Kung Fury: The Music Video (starring David Hasslehoff) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTidn2dBYbY)
Kung Fury: The Full Movie. 30 minutes of Fucking Awesome. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5P_LAqiVg)
What 80s tropes does this movie NOT have?
Explosions, Hitler, Nintendo Power Glove, fake VHS tracking, David Hasslehoff, Kung-fu, renegade cop, Nazis, Shiny chrome lettering, neon grids, 80s style CG and animation, laser raptors, viking chicks with chain guns riding T-rexes, Thor (real one not marvel one) product placement, 80s sports cars, obvious green screening, did I forget anything?
Also, Hitler in the movie is played by one of the Lonely Island guys. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3NzmHdsHwQ)
For something that's just 30 minutes it's worth it.
I would make it my lot in life to hold them up for her everywhere she goes.Ive heard big boobs get sweaty underneath
(no i don't have big boobs)
Jurassic Park actually...and I just noticed something for the first time. They evacuated everyone but a skeleton crew from that island because of the storm, but let the test group STAY? WTF man...it is like you wanted them be eaten by Dinosaurs.

(no i don't have big boobs)
They do.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had tits, Fifi. Please tell me how to handle tit sweat since you know so much. I shall defer to your wisdom.
Except you're describing a magic support system which holds large tits perfectly up and away from the body and allows cool, dry air to pass underneath. It's like saying "Oh, you don't want to sweat in your armpits? Why don't you hold your arms away from your body all day long under the AC?" You're in Texas, too. Don't your balls get sweaty? Don't you have sweaty balls? Sweaty Texas balls? Balls that are sweaty in Texas? Kinda a similar principle, ain't it? Do they make tiny bras for balls? That would be so cute.Would you call it a bro, like on Seinfeld, except for bollocks?
Watched Inception 3, almost had like 3 heart attacks goddamn. Kinda cheesy sometimes but its good, especially those jump-scares. And that dude from My Best Friend's wedding was in it. He's still a hottie.I had no idea there was a second Inception flick, much less a third.

But, anyway, sound like someone has some product testing to do given the parameters you just mentioned. That should be entertaining! And more than a little sticky, and little than more stinky.
Saw the Lego Movie.It had awesome parts but overall I was not very impressed. It had some really entertaining moments and the Lego bricks flying everywhere was pretty cool.
I was talking about titsweat, actually. Let me know out the teabagging works out for you.

Yeah, and it got weird in the end.
RoboCop. The new one. No good.
This is a thing that exists, and if any of you have seen it, I'd be really interested to hear what you thought:

From what I understand, it's played entirely straight...
so Jurassic world was fucking awesome. I was very disappointed on the lack of Goldblum but almost squealed like a fangirl in love when I saw the easter egg.
No, you guys. Jurassic World was so fucking dumb! How could you? :laugh:
Which easter egg? I noticed several.
Also, yes, great movie.

His book was shown when the dude from 10 things I hate about you was talking.
Btw him and Private Pyle was fucking awesome too.
Fuck Chris Pratt.
Watched Gone Girl. Entertaining movie, but was it necessary to show Batman's flaccid penis? And why? Btw I cant stand NPH at all.
Also watched Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. Really liked it. I can't believe how much of an amazing actor Jim Carey is. I watched that movie where he's unknowingly in a tv show (can't remember the name) and he was good in it. But he's sooooo much better on this one. 10/10
I'm glad I saw Fury Road on the big screen. It was a "WOW" experience for sure.
Yeah, and it got weird in the end.How so? The whole point of that was everything that was happening in the movie was actually the kid controlling the legos and playing with them. And the evil villain represents his dad who wants to keep his lego city exactly a certain way and doesn't want his kid playing with it.
I was very disappointed on the lack of GoldblumOnly reason I wanted to see this was in hopes he'd be in it.
Ant-Man....Had a rather lame bad guy that was a rip off of the one from Iron Man 1, but other then that pretty great. But then I have a man crush on Paul Rudd so he can do no wrong in my book.I used to have a crush on him during his Clueless years.

Actually, I'm surprised Armie Hammer can still get work
Okay. Just watch.
Okay. Just watch.
I was sold on it by that 5 minute trailer they released at Comic Con. But like you said, publicity was abysmal... I forgot it was coming out already.
I saw Shamalamadingdong's The Visit last night, and while it's still dumb as hell, it's probably the most watchable thing he's made in a long while.
Apparently it cost a modest 5 million to produce, and it's already earned close to 30!
The SO loves his stuff (her favorite is Lady in the Water, if that tells you anything).

Apparently it cost a modest 5 million to produce, and it's already earned close to 30!
heh some friends were extras in that movie
I didn't even know that existed. Neat. The SO loves his stuff (her favorite is Lady in the Water, if that tells you anything).
John Wick is great.
Keanu's looking his age, but he's still got those moves.
Wait, Keanu's looking his age? No immortality anymores?Keanu looks just how Keanu is supposed to look. And that is delicioso
Saw the trailer for Crimson something with Tom Hiddle something. Looks good. Guy is buttugly i cant understand why so many women find him hot.
Sweeney Todd. How is this such a popular movie I have no idea. So so so so so boring, had to force myself to finish it.
I'm so over Johnny Depp. I'm trying to pinpoint when that happened and suspect that Alice in Wonderland is what pushed me over the edge. I still think he's a good actor, but his eccentric/weirdo shtick is overplayed and he's too big a star now for someone to just slap him and tell him to knock it off. The last film I've liked him in the past five years was Rango.

I hope this is completely non-inclusive to The Last Airbender.
Crimson Peak -- I feel like they were intentionally misleading with the promotional material for this one. It completely subverted my expectations. Definitely worth watching.
Goosebumps -- If you're not a Jack Black fan, stay the heck away from this turd. He's the only entertaining part of the movie, but even he can't save it. Not even close.

I remember when I thought Vin Diesel had talent. Ha ha, good times.I really don't know why he has all these main characters? he's not attractive (at ALL), not funny,not super muscular. He's just huge and with a strong voice. Is that all it takes now?
You'll never get that five minutes of your life back.

I miss the good ol' days when you had to be super hot to get a main position in a movie :sighs:
One unavoidable aspect of any Bond review is the matter of Daniel Craig. I’ve heard people talk about raw sexuality and animal magnetism and stuff, but I don’t see it. It could have to do with my being neither female nor homosexual, but I can sense little charm or charisma present in the man.
Whether this is a professional failing or the fault of the director, I don’t know, as I’ve not seen him in any other capacity. With that said, I did sense some chemistry there between him and his partner at the start of the movie, and later a rapport with M herself. This inclines me to believe it’s to some degree a directorial matter. I think he did a much better job in this movie than in the previous two of making Bond have something less of a mechanical feel and a little more humanity if, sadly, none of the classic Bond swashbuckling wit.

Fact: you will see this and think either “intense” or “derp”…no middle ground.
Train Wreck: Funny...predictable...but funny.
I also saw Zootopia and that Bunny and Fox were totally gonna fuck when that movie is over.
Oh and it had a not so well hidden social message, but Bunny/Fox sex is what I took away from it.

Did you steal Rama's account again, Doug?
They already green lit that sequel.
In the sequel they send another Shere Khan to the past, but this time he is good!
Anything of note on the DVD or is it a barebones one with the movie and trailers for shit?
I have a similar problem with Anchorman and Anchorman 2....kinda like the first one, second one was total shit.
I want to laugh every time I saw an ad for BFG because I kept wanting to call that movie Big Fucking Giant.
I wasn't familiar with the book, either. And then on another website people were saying it stacks up unfavorably against the '89 version, and I was like whaaaaaat?
And I forgot to post about Femme!busters. Ghostbusters with chicks instead of dudes. I bet if this goes forward, they cast Melissa McCarthy, two other hotter white chicks (including Kristen Wiig maybe), and Maya Rudolph. Maya will chell off so many diversity boxes pants will be wettened. Hurr hurr. And the plot will involve one of them obsessing over a ghost-boyfriend because "ommagawd so old i needz a man."
I can't stand Bradley Cooper's face. lol. I just don't like it. Also, I would prefer more than one minority fem-buster. But we all know that shit won't happen. We'll be lucky if we actually get Aisha Tyler or a black woman at all. We'll be twice as lucky if they don't pigeonhole her into the "sassy" box.
Am I just picky, or has DC's straight-to-video animated stuff looked really crummy for quite some time now? Am I just remembering the older stuff as looking a lot better than it actually does?
The newest one I saw was Gods and Monsters, and it looked pretty good. The story was whatever, but the look of it was at least reminiscent of JLU, etc.
Maybe I'm too hung up on visuals.
I think the main problem is that they tried to cram waaaaaay too much into one movie, and everything comes across as really fragmented and rushed. There are flashbacks throughout, and they almost seem like clips from previous movies.
Yup! You watch Justified?
You watch Sons of Anarchy where he played a transsexual? That did things for me.
I didn't know your dad had passed. I'm sorry to hear that.
Oh man, BH6's villain was SHIT. Tadashi should have been the villain! I'd leave it to the writers to figure out how that would work, but yeah. That villain was SHIT.
That's part of the reason I've never bothered to watch it. I remember seeing the trailers and absolutely hating how all the characters looked -- especially the protagonist! Looks like a British child actor.
I didn't even think about that. Neither did the writers, obviously. That cloak was just Carpet from Aladdin, yeah? I was surprised to see him again after all these years.
"Trans?" What? :lol: Nah, man, was the carpet still a buddy. A pal. An amigo. A true, blue friend.
See? He was Clayface in B:TAS? WTF?
The first time I ever saw Perlman was with Linda Hamilton on TV's Beauty and the Beast. But after T2 I wasn't sure who's who, but anyway. You need a burly ugly dude to play the role of a burly ugly dude, he's your man.
Oh, God, I can't stand him either. Which is sorta a shame if only because he seems like a genuinely nice guy. But, yeah, I can't stand him.Yes everybody always talks about how nice he is, etc.
The Rock is great in Moana. He sings. It's great.
Also, Jemaine Clement's scene is glorious.
It did! The villain, played by Jemaine Clement. I thought he looked like a demented Randy Savage. An even more demented Randy Savage.
I've probably mentioned this before, but I really liked the MiB cartoon. It built off the movies, but it really did stand on its own. I've heard people say it's more like the comics, but I've never read those so I can't comment.
Oh, I'll bet the CG has aged horrendously. I suppose you can say that about most CG, including Jurassic Park! A lot of people like to claim Jurassic Park's CG is timeless, but to that I say BULLSHIT.
I like MiB but cant fucking stand Will Smith or anyone from his shit family.
Smith's father, Will, revealed that his son sought an emancipation ruling, with the consent of his parents, as a fifteenth-birthday present. Will revealed to the media that Smith's primary motivation is the establishment of his own residence and also explained that his children are not subject to strict parenting conduct: "We generally don't believe in punishment. From the time Jaden was five or six we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life."[15] However, Smith and his father appeared together on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on May 15, 2013, and Smith said:QuoteThe thing that people don't get is everything at his house is free. So I can get anything and everything at his house, so I'm going to be there for 20, 30 more years. He [Will Smith] says that as soon as I have a movie that's bigger than one of his movies I can get my own house.[16]
It did! The villain, played by Jemaine Clement. I thought he looked like a demented Randy Savage. An even more demented Randy Savage.
I have no idea who this guy was until now. And even now I still don't know who he is. A singer? Actor?
I think I watched MiB3. Didn't they go back in time or something? That's about all I can remember of it.
Good CGI is always just five-to-ten years away from being bad CGI. And nowhere is that difference more profound than when watching old movies in HD or UHD. It's worse than bad compositing used to be.
I hate this garbage. I hate that it will make obscene amounts of money. I hate that people will begin referring to it as the "best" St*r WarzzZZ movie, and their "favorite" St*r WarzzZZ movie.
Are you familiar with those guys at all?
Correction to the above: the movie I saw was actually called "Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things." What a pretentious title. "The Minimalists" are actually two guys involved with the film. They get to be "the minimalists," you know, 'cause the domain happened to be free and all.It's certainly pretentious, not to mention....not minimalist.

A follow-up to their Half in the Bag review:
They liked Beyond, didn't they? I remember that pissing me off, because I fucking hated that movie. Or maybe just one of them liked it? I can't recall.
holy SHIT guys John Wick was SOOOOOO GOOD. GO AND WATCH IT NOW NOW NOW NOW
NOW
holy SHIT guys John Wick was SOOOOOO GOOD. GO AND WATCH IT NOW NOW NOW NOWWick 2 was as awesome as the first...
NOW
Does another dog die in this one?...with 100% less canine deaths.
I haven't seen any other Lego movies, but I'm willing to bet the production value is way, way more impressive in this than in that other one you mentioned.
You guys are actually kinda making me want to see JW2 in the theater. Do you have to see the first one and can someone go into this pretty cold?It helps to have seen the first, but it's not like there's some major plot points you're going to miss. Essentially, he had to make a bad bargain to survive in the first movie, and now it's coming back to haunt him. And it opens with him reclaiming his car that was stolen in the first film.
They'd better. That was a heck of a setup. John Wick 3: Everyone Dies & Return of the Boss.
Saw Kong: Skull Island and it was pretty awesome.
The previews were a little better too, including Blade Runner: 2049.
I had to run to the john in the middle of the movie, during which time I seem to have missed the part that explained why Drax was so "in your face" with the laughing and joking. While funny I felt it was out of place, and I've since read reviews that mentioned a certain Drax/Mantis moment, and I just don't remember seeing it.
Guess I should just load up and see it again! And not drink anything beforehand!
"Crisp Rat." I can't stand him either. I hate his smug face and I don't want him near any animals ever again.LOL yes that guy. Unfortunately hes going to be on the next Jurassic World. Fortunately Jeff Goldblum will be in it too so Im hoping he'll steal the show .
For the first time ever, the wife watched Alien, Aliens, and Blade Runner (Final Cut). Fun times. I remember preferring Aliens to Alien when I was younger but at this point, I'm not sure what I was thinking.
Blade Runner is a classic, and it has some really powerful scenes, but man... is it ever boring in spots. I can totally understand that people have trouble getting through it.
Rurouni Kenshin movie #2 - Kyoto InfernoHavent read your review because I dont want to get spoiled but I just bought the three movies on DVD. Cant wait to geek the fuck out to all my old husbandos (although I already saw the guy who plays Aoshi and hes not hot at all). Ive seen the Kenshin-Soujirou fight scene on youtube and it looks fucking AMAZING.
Oh, yeah, and Merla and I prefer Aliens over Alien but we'll never argue with anyone with reverse taste when it comes down to the first two movies. Preferring anything that came afterwards is pure madness though. I do admit Alien Resurrection became guilty pleasure of mine when I re-watched it around 2009.
The newest Pirates of the Caribbean. It was good, entertaining, and a bit funny (not as much as the first ones though). I have to say whoever cast Henry did an excellent job, the guy looks like a man version of Keira Knightley, it is amazing. The main girl in the movie is fugly tho. Now I need to watch "On Stranger Tides" since thats the only one I havent watched yet.
I'm still going to see it.
Wonder Woman. First half: Good. Second half: Godawful CG shitfest. I can't figure out why it's reviewing so well. It has a promising setup, but then it just completely falls apart. Disappointed.Damn thats completely the opposite of what everybody else is saying.
Flounder felt a little gay in the stage musical version I saw considering he was played by an Ellen-looking chick and totally had the hots for Ariel. Ha ha, the Prince did look like her dad now that you mention it. But Dan Stevens is only seven years older than Emma. Googling him now, it's the hairstyles. They gave him shit hairstyles that really aged him.Maybe youre right. The hair was atrocious.
It doesn't help that his chin is weak-sauce, either. Chins like that really need a beard.True but a beard would have made him look even older!
Still deciding whether I like Valerian or not. It's no Fifth Element, that's for sure.Havent watched but Cara Delevigne(sp?) is overrated as hell and cannot act.
Shit I forgot I wanted to watch Dark Tower! I dont even think they have it in the movies anymore :(
Watched Annabelle. It was ok. Lots of jumpscares tho, i dont really like that.
Waiting for IT and Kingsman 2 :guitar: :guitar: :guitar:
That kind of sounds like Chicago style, only that's cheddar popcorn and caramel popcorn mixed together, not all-in-one.
Just got back from Kingsman 2, which I liked a lot more than the first one. I actually didn't even want to go, but I'm glad I did.Kingsman 2 was fucking awesome. "Whisky" was fucking AWESOME. Idgaf about racism or shit but im pissed that Tatum got his name on the trailer when he was in the movie for a shorter time than the latin guy. Cause he was AWESOME. Tatum looks like a body impersonation of Herpes tbh.
One of these days I have to watch Blade Runner all the way from start to finish. Every time I catch it, it's either already running, or I go to sleep in the middle.
Ha! I saw Your Name a while back and didn't get the hype either. It was a cute story but the characters were so cookie-cutter and bland I couldn't feel anything.
Jared Leto seems like the type of guy that likes to pretend his partner is himself when he's having sex.
Didnt know the poster for Eva 1.0+ 3.0 was out until I saw it at the Eva store yesterday. CANT WAIT (yes, again)

Oh, you'll wait. Wait, you shall. Wait, wait, wait.
Just like me. (http://shwiggie.com/boards/emoticons/atch.gif)
Pixar is kind of dog shit now. Like, I wonder if Disney poached all their best people or something, because Disney's CG stuff has been way better than Pixar's recently. Did you guys see The Good Dinosaur?I've seen it, and the graphs are beautiful, and so is the music (reminded me of the music from the movie Contact). The story is meh.
You better prepare yourself, because the feels are REAL. I man cried.
I man cried.
Did you have to watch that garbage Frozen "short" ahead of it? God, that was trash.
This is super nitpicky, but Laura Dern's purple hair rubbed me the wrong way. Made her look like an over-the-hill YouTuber.
The Resistance is a bunch of poseurs. They beat the Dreadnaught early on in totally ridiculous fashion...with bombers...in space...yeah, think about that bullshit for a second. Then they jump to lightspeed, and then they sit around getting blasted at for two WHOLE hours. Granted, the thing about hitting hyperdrive straight into the First Order/Second Empire was freaking inspired...but why in the hell didn't they plan that from the get-go? And tell Poe about it so he doesn't commit mutiny? And being that he was demoted for not following orders earlier (which frankly should have been a court-martial if we're an actual military here) how is he not executed as a turncoat? And then they evacuate all super secretly to the nearby M-Class (heh) planet, while the 1st Order idiots obviously wouldn't have figured out without Benicio del Toro tipping them off.Just...arghh! This movie was twice as long as it needed to be. They accomplished exactly NOTHING with this movie, unless you're talking about Ben Solo and Purple Hairldo. I destroyed a whole day off going to a good theater an hour-and-a-half away. At least the recliner was comfortable. Some of the trailers were fun, but I can't tell you what the movies' names are aside from the Avengers. I liked the one about the Matrix ripoff populated with video game characters in particular.
Which brings me to theCollectorCodebreaker thing. That was a complete and utter waste of time, a worthless jaunt that serves only to give Finn something to do other than whimper about Rey being gone. Oh, and it conveniently explains how 1st Order breaks the Romulan cloaking device the Rebellion/Resistance bought off an evil capitalistFerengi from the planet newcomer Rose hates so bad. Was this nothing but a diversity diversion exercise or something? Give the token minorities something to do? And if that sounds insulting, it damn well should be. The only benefit was working Phasma the shiny blaster-proof bitch back into the story, only to (apparently) get the axe.
Since when is Leia a force user? She's always had a bit of force awareness, but never anything like force manipulation. That was completely out of left field. But ignore that: what pivotal role did Leia play in this movie at all? What a waste. They'll never have the chance at a do-over, either, and I find that a total shame. I figure in the next movie she'll be traveling throughout the Outer Rim drumming up Resistance allies, which will explain her absense without whacking the character (I think it'd be fitting if they made Leia live on in the SW universe).
Re: Luke, I'll go back to my overriding theme: What. A. Waste. He did nothing worthwhile except finally explain why Ben turned to the dark side. Yeah, he fucking failed him, all right! God damn, son, you are indeed the shittiest Jedi Master in the history of forever. The only thing he accomplished was delaying the invasion of the base at the end, and then after force projecting a ghost to "fight" with Ben, he gives up the ghost and dies watching twin sunsets like in A New Hope. Come on! What a pussy.
Then there's Rey, who had to deal with Luke's whiny ass and finally kick his ass in a fight before giving up and moving on. But she's a woke Warsie, wanting to sense goodness in a surprisingly-stout-built Ben Solo (seriously, his man-boobs look like Arnold Schwarzenegger's from twenty years ago), and she gets fooled by Ben and Snoke. So they face off a la Palpatine, Luke, and Vader in Return of the Jedi. But Ben pulls an actual awesome move in bifurcating his boss! But...dammit, who the hell WAS Snoke? It's like how many licks it takes to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop, the world may never know who that sumbitch actually is. Then they fight the Neon Genesis Crimson Guard in a cool battle...only for them to re-enact the "I am your father" faceoff from Empire Strikes Back, only this time with Ben Solo taking over the 1st order and Rey barely escaping. Then, no sooner does he become the new supreme leader, he reverts to being a screaming whiny child. You'd think he'd have grown up a little with Uncle Luke threatening to murder him in his sleep rather than regressed, but anyway.
I lied. I would watch Luke's "Got Milk?" ad again and again for all time.
I dont know what is wrong with Matthew McConaughey's face, it always looks like its melting.
And they're making a sequel! AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!
When I saw the trailer, everything about it just absolutely screamed that it was trying to be all things to all audiences. All that did was make it utterly repugnant to me. No thanks.
I didn't hate Last Jedi. There were things I didn't like about it, sure. Rose and Finn can both GTFO, for instance. Other stuff. Hmm. It was still better than the prequels!
Also, I'm probably reading way too much into it, but the character Oprah plays in Wrinkle seems to lean a little too heavily into how I imagine Oprah actually views herself: an omniscient fairy godmother-like entity.
"I'm here to tell you how to think and feel, and you'll get a car! And you'll get car! And you'll get a car!"
There's a relevant video for that!They be hatin' brah.
I saw Isle of Dogs. The animation was nice. It's weird to feel let down by a Wes Anderson movie. The story and its characters just never clicked for me.
I wasn't bothered by Wes Anderson telling a story set in Japan.
So, you might think the body of that post contradicts my opening statement
That's also because it reminded of Fantastic Mr. Fox (in both visuals and general feel) and how fucking boring I found the second half of that film.Fantastic Mr Fox was one of my favourite books when I was a kid and I was pissed the movie did it no justice imo. Who the fuck was that little cousin anyways? Why add him?
It was ten times better then The Last Jedi.
Yeah. I recognized Starscream. Don't know the last time I recognized a bot from they way they look in a Bay film. It's usually just random name slapped on random bot.
Regarding Deadpool 2, I just assumed the subtitle should have been "Deadpooler". The first time around was entertaining, but subsequent viewings weren't much fun to me. A new movie with more of the same just doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in. But that's basically my opinion of Solo and more TF movies, for that matter.
Same. I told some of my co-workers I wasn't gonna see it and, I dunno, I got the impression they thought I was offended or something by the first one. Like, no, the first one was a perfect, fun, raunchy good-time. But at the same time I didn't need anymore of the same thing. Would've been more fun to start mashing him up with other things now. Make him more like a co-star or supporting character to someone else's story. I think he'd work better this way. I wasn't confident that the second one would deliver that. And to be honest, I was a bit put off by Domino. Don't care she's a black girl but I totally crushed on old school Domino so I wanted that look from her screen version. What we got looks like someone's OC.
But people seem to like it, so don't mind the old grouch.
I think I'll pass. Not really something I was ever looking for or needed in my life.
Smerla and I went to go see a screening of Pom Poko and of course she cried. She said she wasn't gonna but I knew she would because she always does. The ending gets her every time. Meanwhile, the ending just legit gets me fired up. Probably because this city's growing so fast and every forest and field is mercilessly bulldozed over so we can house the influx of people, their too-many kids, their too-big vehicles, and their too-much fuckin' stuff in their too-big house. Or made to erect shitty apartments and outdoor malls. And after all that, the idiots in charge of planning don't even make things walkable. Like, they make all these apartment complexes but don't give the people living there a place to buy a carton of eggs without forcing them to get into their car and drive somewhere. Or they build all of these damn office buildings without giving the workers a coffee shop nearby or a place to eat lunch that's in walking distance. Bleh.
Are you SURE you want to live in a city?
I bought all the Ghibli movies Disney released on DVD back in the day. I have Pom Poko, and I know I watched it, but I can't remember what the story was actually about other than the inflatable scrotal sacs.
Of course, this reminds me Tim Russ, who played Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager. Literally every time I see him, no matter the role, I'm only thinking of his small line in Spaceballs: "We ain't found shit."
...I just don't like the character designs, particularly Superman's suit and tree trunk neck. They've been using this template in all the recent Justice League-related animated films, and it's awful. They desperately need a new look.It's the New 52 aesthetic. It's the new normal. Give me red trunks any day. Can't beat the classic.
Like, everyone should watch it simply to make up their own mind, but it's so bizarre.NO, this turd should be shunned like the leprous mass it is. Good God, man, it's bad.
I saw Ocean's 8 which was every bit the waste of time I thought it was gonna beWhy don 't you watch ME next time bb ;)
She probably gets jobs by giving jobs. Just like the rest of Hollyweird.True true.

You obviously haven't lived in NYC lol
And how about that asshole next door that not only turned on the lights, looked at her, and didn't let her in but also didn't bother to call the cops to say there was a screaming girl outside. Halloween night, I guess. So ignoring anyone who's in distress makes plenty of sense.

Who would have thought there would ever be a movie where Lena Headey and Nick Frost were a (believable!) married coupled.

Wonder Woman. First half: Good. Second half: Godawful CG shitfest. I can't figure out why it's reviewing so well. It has a promising setup, but then it just completely falls apart. Disappointed.Having not seen Aquaman yet I would say that Wonder Woman is probably the best of the current DC universe movies. BvS was mostly a piece of shit, being that the whole premise was to have Batman and Superman fight for fanservice and the rest of the story was just half assed thrown together. And holy fuck did I hate Lex Luthor. MoS was decent, the fighting scenes were magnificent but the drama felt too forced (am I supposed to feel sorry for Kent's dad just standing there and letting a tornado suck him up?). I tried to enjoy Justice League but it felt like it was missing something... maybe back story for most of the characters.
Although I'll agree that it fell apart, just for me it was after Stryker was killed.
So.... did anyone forget about WW2 which was far worse than WW1?TOTAL tangent time, here.
Shazam. I was on board for most it, but it got a little bit too hokey at the end. Like, any sense of tension there might have been was completely undercut by how goofy everyone was behaving. Jokes are fine, and this movie is definitely funny, but try to keep that shit to a minimum in your climactic action scene.
This is what I hate about movies these days: this need to do this kind of snarky bullshit that ruins dramatic tension in a film.The thing was, there was not a whole lot of snark in
I saw the end battle of the first Transformer's movie on TV.
And I only mention it because of how badly it's held up. I remember mostly enjoying Transformers 1 in theater before the series went all downhill. But I seem to remember thinking the final battle was way too chaotic and suffered from too much jiggle camera, and it seems even worse watching it now. It's almost impossible to figure out what's going on half the time in the damn fight. And of course, now, every damn movie has to have chaotic jiggling camera shots at bizzare angles where you don't even know what the fuck's going on half the time.
Again, I'm fully aware of my middle-aged manitude. I'm sure kids will enjoy this movie. I just thought it would be way more "something for everyone"-ish. And it's not.
ugh....Andrew Garfield. That's already a strike against it right there. I can't stand that guy.
The best fight of the movie happens right off the bat, and nothing that comes after it can even hope to compete! Story-wise, it makes total sense, because he's fresh at the start and gets more and more worn down as things escalate, but still! That initial barrage had the audience gasping and laughing and groaning in quick succession, it was just relentless.The book thing was great (asmuch as the pencil thing) but I thought the best fight was the dog fight (not really spoilers because you can see it in the trailer). Needless to say I think the movie was AMAZING. And can't wait for the 4th one. Also Im tots going to watch it again when it comes out in Japan (sept/oct I think).
- Bucky is a criminal. Falcon isn't. Bucky is a tremendously compromised person morally. Falcon isn't. Besides, they can always flim-flam a way to get the super soldier serum into Falcon.
Be careful equating the two: Bucky was busy being a part-time assassin while Cap was busy being a full-time popsicle. Massive difference...just ask Tony.- Bucky is a criminal. Falcon isn't. Bucky is a tremendously compromised person morally. Falcon isn't. Besides, they can always flim-flam a way to get the super soldier serum into Falcon.Well, about the criminal part, I don't think that would be that big of a problem. Captain himself was a fugitive from Civil War to Infinity War, although he didn't exactly do a lot of superhero stuff during that time. And other heroes have had moments where they were considered "criminals", or the police tried (unsuccessfully) to arrest them (Batman for instance).
Did they really have to have that scene where Tony was checking out Steve's ass in the past? Normally I wouldn't care one bit about this moment, but this is going to have all those damn Tumblr fangirls screaming their overly-emotional heads off about how their fucking Tony-Steve gay bromance is now canon. "Omg omg I told you they were really gay for each other." Sweet Jesus that's going to be annoying.That's only because you're a homophobe.
Solo...for like the 6th time. This movie has a sweet spot for me, I love it. I tried to watch Last Jedi again, but I get to Holdo and I'm just like..."ugh....no. I can't do this. If she would just tell Poe...you know what, no. Not going to watch this." and turn it off.
Midsommar: Unsettling.Like Hereditary? I havent had time to go to the movies at ALL and I wont have time either so Im missing all the good horror movies D:
I saw The Crow. First time I'd ever seen in the theater. Thank the lord for the Alamo Drafthouse. Just wish it was closer.
I haven't actually seen Hereditary. I watched a review back when it came out, so I probably ruined it for myself.Midsommar: Unsettling.Like Hereditary? I havent had time to go to the movies at ALL and I wont have time either so Im missing all the good horror movies D:

Alamo Drafthouse is so lovely. Glad I've got one 15 minutes away. That's our first pick theater now.
It really is. If it wasn't like an hour away I would go there every single time.My go-to theater is exactly one hour away from my driveway. The more local has become so crappy that it's worth the extra hour round-trip travel time to get there. And if you are a loser like me who only goes to a movie a couple times a year, it's even less of a big deal.
Finally saw Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Pretty good. I hope we get more of this type of stuff. Not necessarily an ass-load of direct sequels as studios are prone to do with any type of hit these days, but I mean more Sony animation projects with Spider-Man that don't tread what's already been done with the character and do interesting things with animation. Although I concede that the former is far more likely.
Anybody else witness the yet again updated Han/Greedo scene? It's practically slapstick now.
Oh Jesus it just dawned on me that you're rewatching the movies in "chronological" order! Why, man? Why?!
You know, Sonic the Hedgehog is not a bad movie. In fact, it's actually pretty good, all things considered.
Which is a shame, because I think hardly anyone is going to show up for it.
Yeah, I heard about that. And then Warner had venues change the title from Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn to just Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey because they thought moviegoers were confused or something? Nah, guys. People didn't go because they're still scraping the horrible taste of Suicide Squad off their tongues. Doomed from the start.
Ah well.

Ah well.
I think there was some good logic to this decision, as far as name recognition. The listing mostly only had "Birds of Prey" because the full title is super fucking long. Harley Quinn is the main thing here, so while the full title is fine, they should have done this for showtimes to begin with. It isn't the only reason the movie didn't do well but I think it's a factor.
Watched Kubo and the Two Strings. The animation is incredible but I couldn't help but thinking throughout about how white the cast is. Matthew fucking McConaughey as a samurai? Ugh. But the animation was so fucking good, and the story is decent.
Tenet is a lot better than I thought it would, but also so self-serious that it crawls all the way up its own ass.
And then it dawns on me that that describes pretty much every Nolan film.
True. Tbh for me, The End of Evangelion is the real ending, these movies are just a bonus that I won't take seriously.Rebirth was just a cash cow to fund Anno's other pet projects. He hasn't made any bones about it, which is one reason I haven't cared much for them. That, and the third one blew massive chunks.
The Snyder Justice League was better than the previous effort, but still felt bloated despite the dearth of character development. It was a bad implementation of a unified DC movie series from the get-go, but at least this gives the Snyderverse an actual send-off and rights the studio's wrongs.
Gotta love open registration.
I watched Black Widow.
It was ooooookaaaaaay.
I feel like the MCU is coming up on its first major hurdle. Shang-Chi and Eternals both look so, so bland.
But then, they could end up sucking and still make bank, it's not as if that's never happened before.
People seem to enjoy riding the Marvel train regardless of wildly variable quality.
Are you a fan of Lynch's Dune? I am. Maybe that's my biggest problem with this new one.
See, Lynch's Dune is just Dune to me. Straight up. I would have been a little kid when I first encountered it, and it made one hell of an impression.
Later I played Dune II for the PC, and aesthetically that one lines right up with Lynch's film. It all just makes cohesive sense.
Then I read Herbert's book. Woof! No thanks.
Maybe Villeneuve’s is a more authentic take on the source material, but to me it just comes off as a lame new autotuned cover of an old song I love.
The French Dispatch was very disappointing. I don't think I've ever been bored by a Wes Anderson movie before. If you had told me he'd go on to make something I'd like even less than Isle of Dogs, I'd never have believed you in a million years, but here we are.
I had to look that up.

Picking up a cup of tea, Whedon said he could no longer remain silent as people tried to pry his legacy from his hands. But there was a problem. Those people had set out to destroy him...
...and would surely seize on his every utterance in an attempt to finish the job. “I’m terrified,” he said, “of every word that comes out of my mouth.”
...Whedon was asked over and over to explain why he wrote stories about strong women. For years, he would answer by talking about his mother. ...Whedon referred to his mother as “extraordinary, inspirational, tough, cool,” and “sexy.”
Returning to the couch, he affected a sort of Vincent Price voice. “And now,” Whedon said, “tales of horror and woe.”
“It took me a long time to realize I was writing about me,” [Whedon] told me [about writing Buffy the Vampire Slayer], “and that my feeling of powerlessness and constant anxiety was at the heart of everything.” His avatar was not a fearful young man, however, but a gorgeous girl with extraordinary courage. He wanted to be her, and he wanted to fuck her.
A high-level member of the Buffy production team recalled Whedon’s habit of “writing really nasty notes,” but that wasn’t what disturbed her most about working with him. Whedon was rumored to be having affairs with two young actresses on the show. One day, he and one of the actresses came into her office while she was working. She heard a noise behind her. They were rolling around on the floor, making out. “They would bang into my chair,” she said. “How can you concentrate? It was gross.” This happened more than once, she said. “These actions proved he had no respect for me and my work.” She quit the show even though she had no other job lined up.
Had he made out with an actress on the floor of someone’s office? “That seems false. I don’t understand that story even a little bit.” He removed his glasses and rubbed his face. “I should run to the loo.” When he came back, he said the story didn’t make sense to him because he “lived in terror” of his affairs being discovered.
“I’m going to run to the loo,” he said. Later, he would let slip that someone had advised him to pretend he needed to pee if he felt uncomfortable with a question.
When I pressed him on why, he noted “it messes up the powet dynamic,” but he didn’t expand on that thought. Instead, he quickly added that he had felt he “had” to sleep with them, that he was “powerless” to resist. I laughed. “I’m not actually joking,” he said. He had been surrounded by beautiful young women — the sort of women who had ignored him when he was younger — and he feared if he didn’t have sex with them, he would “always regret it.”
"Joss Whedon had nearly two years to get his story straight. He's likely spent tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars on PR, crisis management, and coaching. And his response to the allegations is: 'They all misunderstood and/or are out to get me—also my mom is sexy'???"
And yet on RT the critic and audience ratings are just shy of 90% approval.
I don't get it.
Maybe I have to try shoving my head further up my ass?
Yeah, I'm just thinking about the scene where Batman and Gordon get the clue about the "winged rat" and they're bouncing ideas off each other like it's a party game or something. Winged Rat? Could they mean a bat? As in Batman? How about the Penguin? A penguin has wings! Could Penguin be the rat?
And I'm just thinking, like, could this absolute God-tier repartee have been pulled directly from an old comic book? This sounds like some dumb shit Jeph Loeb could have crapped out back in the day.
And then... AND THEN... later in the movie Falcone gets found out as the actual rat, and fucking Gordon has this smug AF "gotcha" quip where he says something like, "...falcons have wings, too..."
Maaaaaaaaaaaan. What. The. FUCK. So stupid. So, so stupid.
Oh, and I'm really curious what the film industry is going to look like ten years from now. Lightyear came out 5 weeks ago, Black Phone 4 weeks ago, and as of the past 24 hours they're both currently available to watch VOD.You know they've figured out how to make money with streaming when they went there and stayed there after the pandemic's worst days had passed. What do I think it will it look like? Much the same, but without movie theaters at this rate. They can't charge enough for snacks to make up the shortage, no matter how hard they try... yet they most definitely will try.
Black Phone is a relatively small scale horror flick, but Lightyear? That one's got to sting a little for Disney.I don't know but have heard tell that Lightyear was an utter flop. It's back to the
Of course, Disney's probably pretty gun shy about making Westerns these days.Ha! Literally.
I haven't watched Lightyear yet, and maybe there's some kind of bait and switch going on, but from what I understand of the marketing materials, the premise is just fucking bizarre.
GAY GAY GAY LESBIANS BROWN PEOPLE !!TALKING CAT!! GAY. serious themes.
Wait! Are you telling me you watched a five-hour critique of a two-hour film that you haven't even seen yourself?!
Now THAT is madness.
Structurally, pretty weird. I'm trying to imagine someone trying to watch this just as a movie without any context, but why would anyone ever show up to a One Piece movie if they don't know One Piece?
