What movies have you seen recently? Should we see them? Rating?

Beowolf 3D - TERRIBLE. Nothing like story. Best part was when the first kings wife said, "Many kinds of people come to taste the kings mead."

It sounded very much like meat. 4/10

Really, it's a movie with Angelia Jolie and monster killing...... How can this not be awesome.

But I can't wait for Todd Sweeney, hehe need a shave?

I've seen Beowulf, Hitman, Golden Compass and No Country for Old Men recently.

The only one that really held my interest was the last one. Hitman was okay enough to be at least entertaining but it attracts the hugest crowd of douchebags that ever come to our Cineplex. They just go in because they know it has nudity and they're all "LOL TITS GIMME SOME"

Then yesterday we hooked up a DVD player to one of our digital projectors and watched Jurassic Park after we closed up. The Saturdays before that we have been watching each episode of Star Wars, but it was cancelled this week because the one orchestrating the showings had the flu. Anyway in the movie there was a guy in the helicopter at the beginning who appeared to have no pants on. We were laughing at this.

And I have to admit I am looking forward to Sweeney Todd as well. Unfortunately it's already been decided that we're watching National Treasure on that day, but I'm totally going to see it.

nt and Sweeney are the movies to see.

GO SPEED RACER (http://speedracerthemovie.warnerbros.com/cmp/main.html)

Seriously, why?

Well, how bout that thar Cloverfield that's comin' out. The one with the terrible advertising, shown before Transformers as a nameless movie that caught the attention of everybody. It's plot is that apparently a new monster has invaded New York (lol statue of liberty) and it's all shot at POV, we're supposed to get the feeling we're in the movie.. anybody?

Personally just by the trailer it looks really well done and sinister, I'm gonna see it.

Comes out Jan.18.

By far  the most interesting trailer in years, IMHO.

Yay, another Blair Witch Project.

I hear the movie's going to be awesome, I just hate a lot of the hype for it.

Yay, another Blair Witch Project.

Theres one part where they're walking through the abandoned city at night, and they just see a random horse pulling an empty carriage. That's instant ##### your pants spooky.

That's why that  was in there!

Did you just say that cloverfield had terrible advertising? I hope you were being sarcastic. That movie had some of the best advertising that I have ever seen. The mystery, the countless websites, it was even on the news. SO many people devoted their lives to figuring out what it was.


Also, The Mist.  :( *Cries thinking about it*

The advertising itself wasn't very bad, the real problem was the hype, it had more hype than Gurren Lagann! Go look on youtube and you'll see hundreds of "LOLZ I NO WHAT CLOVERFEELD IS ABOOT". People trying to look for clues in the screens, and some poster art, it's just too retarded..

Also, I hear the Mist's actual ending was changed. Spoilers plz.

I saw Eastern Promises.

It's about the russian maffia in England.
If you get the chance to visit this movie, I think you should. The only thing that bothered me slightly was the ending. But to know about that, you should go see it.

Viggo Mortensen plays a very good russian.

MOSKAU MOSKAU.

Sorry. I might pick it up, my cousin said it was good.

Behold, the ending to the Mist!

[spoiler] Everyone in the store becomes crazy christians except the main character, his female teacher friend, his son, and an old couple. The escape the christians from killing them by a hair and make a mad dash for the car. He grabs the gun on a whim. They drive and drive until they run out of gas. His son is asleep. They decide to kill themselves- however, there is only enough bullets for everyone but him. So he does the good deed and kills them all, including his son. He is yelling and sobbing, (the most depressing thing I have ever seen in a movie) and he stumbles out of the car. He hears monsters coming, and he prepares himself for death. Not 10 seconds later does the mist clear and he is rescued. [/spoiler]

The reason Cloverfield is being so hyped is because the creator has mastered the art of gathering excessive attention for his projects.

Look at Lost... even to this day, there are people watching every episode, all of them being freeze-framed and paused endlessly for clues towards a show that's already been airing for 3 years.

Beowulf - 9/10 - Great retelling of Beowulf with some new twists. I loved the CGI; some parts looked so realistic that I couldn't tell if it was animation or live-action.

The Darjeeling Limited - 10/10 - Wes Anderson's best yet, hilarious and touching. The ending shot is one of the most beautiful movie scenes that I've ever seen.

The Golden Compass - 6/10 - Eh, it was okay. If you're an adult you can easily fill in the anti-religion stuff, but it was somewhat entertaining. Could have been a lot better, but if they ever make the sequel, I'll go see it.

Hitman - 7/10 - It's The Bourne Identity's dumber and louder brother, but it's still pretty entertaining. Hopefully they'll make more movies in this series.

The Mist - 7/10 - Well-made horror flick with an ending that was complete balls. They should have just ended it where the novel did and then add the rest for an "unrated director's cut".

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Imporium - 6/10 - This could have been so much better. The kid is damn annoying; you're supposed to feel bad for him, but there's no way that you really can. And Dustin Hoffman could have done without the lisp.

No Country for Old Men - 10/10 - One of the year's best movies, and the badguy is so damn creepy.

That guy was my hero. He was creepy, but kickass.

Yeah. No Country for Old Men kicked ass. It was anything but typical. And if you pay attention, there is NO music in the whole movie. That takes serious skillz.

Speed Racer's Ten Best of 2007 List (no order)

3:10 to Yuma
300
Amazing Grace
American Gangster
The Darjeeling Limited
Eastern Promises
Hot Fuzz
The Namesake
No Country for Old Men
Reign Over Me

...I have missed so many movies this year, and that has resulted in me seeing only two movies from that list, though I agree strongly with both.

"300" was an amazing adrenaline-pump-a-thon and a spectacularly original work of art. It defines badass.

"Hot Fuzz" is one of my all-time favorites, but only 'cuz I'm a sucker for British humor and, of course, the accents. Simon Pegg is a genius.

God...  I read that spoiler for The Mist...

That has got to be THE most depressing thing I have ever read in my life.

I saw Beowulf in IMAX 3D.  The movie itself wasn't that great, but you couldn't have convinced me so while I had those glasses on.  10 story tall screen doesn't hurt either.

Read? Try WATCHING it. The acting was way too good.

My theory the instant I saw it was they are redoing Godzilla.

Awake - 8/10 - Way better than I thought that it would be. Fairly interesting story with some twists that I didn't see coming, and Jessica Alba proves that she can *gasp* ACT!

My theory the instant I saw it was they are redoing Godzilla.

The UK has a show called Peep Show that is shot entirely in POV and hilarious. That's good. That movie sounds lame.

Well, I saw Golden Compass, and I think it was pretty good. Blood and death was cut out, obviously, but nothing that bugged me too much. I can see how working the actual ending into the beginning of the next movie would work.

Also, I saw the Speed Racer trailer.
Is it possible to see it without being slack-jawed in horror?

Thanks everyone, because of you I curiously watched the trailer to Speed Racer. Thank you, you can all burn in hell.

Jokes aside, has anyone else seen the Ironman trailer? Looks fantastic, and the actor who plays Tony Stark looks so much like him. When they started playing Iron Man by the Black Sabbath I just had to laugh, it was so cheesey!XD

The Speed Racer trailer was packaged with all showings of The Golden Compass, and I promise you it haunted me the entire way through the movie.

Cloverfield looks interesting to me, but it's not something I care too much about.

On the subject of POV-filming, there was an episode of Scrubs that had a few sequences shot from a new intern's POV on his first day. It was done pretty badly, and it bugged me because Scrubs is an amazing show, among the funniest on the air. It just felt annoyingly unfunny to do that, but I understood the effect they were going for. Too little effort put into the sequences.

I'm going to look into Peep Show.

Peep Show is funny as all hell, and you all can kiss my ass if you don't like the Speed Racer movie trailer.

I never knew anything about Iron Man until I saw that trailer. Now I'm interested.

I don't even remember the last movie I saw in theators, I probably should work on that.

I Am Legend.

...

REALLY freaked-up movie.

Go see it.

I liked that movie. The random loud jumpy parts were annoying and pointless, though.

[spoiler]When the dog ran into that dark place, and he saw all those infected homo sapiens standing in a circle, I burst out laughing. I KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING[/spoiler]

That movie was damn amazing.  I watched it today.

Godzilla has been retiered until his 60th anniversary. Until then, Gamera will replace it.

I don't see the difference.

Legend looks really good to me, I might go with a friend to see it next Friday.

and it won't be Godzilla, they said it wasn't going to be Godzilla, but a new monster.

Peep Show is funny as all hell, and you all can kiss my ass if you don't like the Speed Racer movie trailer.

AGREE.

It looks fun and light, as it should be, and visually cool.

Legend looks really good to me, I might go with a friend to see it next Friday.

and it won't be Godzilla, they said it wasn't going to be Godzilla, but a new monster.

I'd rather have the Japs do the movie, not Americans, they somehow always ruin monster movies based off in Japan. Example, the american Godzilla.

Don't say "Japs".

In my town, that means Jewish American Princess... you know, the rich, snobby girl-girls that are ever-so annoying.

In the rest of the world it's an 1860's+ racial epithet that disparages Japanese people.

Really? Maybe I shouldn't abbreviate anymore, it can get me into trouble at some point.

Yeah, I wouldn't. It started in WWI, you see.

I always find it funny when someone uses the term and everyone assumes they're talking about a Jewish girl. It's weird living in a predominantly Jewish town - I seem to be the only one that knows any Jew jokes, seeing as I was away at military school for a while. Around here, they just don't get told, so ANY Jew joke will do. So naive...

Does anyone actually watch movies any more? I mean isn't everyone just waiting for the cult classics of our youths to be remade and horribly butchered in cinema format?

People still watch new movie. And people are waiting to see something they've seen before. It's a whole thing.

Every once in a while it happens. Seeing something new, I mean. There are also tons of failed attempts that should at least be given props.

In the action + horror departments, things are starting to go better lately. The Saw films were a gulp of fresh air for most people, but in general both genres have been doing better lately. 300 was the embodiment of what an action movie should be.
Even remakes have been of slightly better quality as of late. Adaptations, as well. I just got back from seeing The Golden Compass again - it was just as enjoyable the second time through, which is saying a lot for me. I'm a VERY picky moviegoer.

The only iffy genre lately is comedy. It's going both ways. Things like Superbad as well as Will Ferrel's movies are trying to be original and succeeding, but other things like Evan Almighty and other attempts are failing at originality. Fred Clause was actually pretty decent, I might add, by the way.
Other attempts are just total failures anyway. Borat is questionable in all aspects.

The movie industry is in a weird jam right now - almost everything has already been done, and there's been enough time in between for them to rejuvenate the old stuff until newer ideas can be thought up... it's kind of a standstill right now.

It's got to a point where we are making remakes of remakes. Which is lame. And the titles of movies are getting lamer as well. Lucky Number Sleven, wtf is a sleven?

Sleven is the main characters name.

Also, Superbad wasn't original, It was American Pie all over again. Coming-of-age comedies haven't been funny for a long, long time.

"OMG LOOK HOW AWKWARD TEENS ARE!! LOL!! SEXORZ!! LOL!!"

Please.

It was clear they wanted to make the name of the movie Lucky Number Seven but were too busy being retarded so they made the main characters name a slight variation. I don't see how this is suposed to be cool.

Smokin' Aces wasn't bad but I was really drunk and drinking in the theator to get much plot out of it, didn't understand the ending at all.

"OMG LOOK HOW AWKWARD TEENS ARE!! LOL!! SEXORZ!! LOL!!"

As far as what you're talking about, that's very true. I mean more in the way that the jokes are actually funny and the humor is very well-implemented, while most comedies nowadays just aren't all that funny the whole way through.

most comedies nowadays just aren't all that funny the whole way through.

That much I'll agree with.

COMING SOON. VERY SOON.

I've managed to not think about it at all. It doesn't interest me THAT much, but it does look pretty damn cool. Who knows, it could be crap.

I'm skipping school to see it, none the less. Screw midterms. Unless it gets a 2 star or less rating.

Meet The Spartans (http://www.meetthespartans.com/)

Did anybody spot that part in the Cloverfield trailer when some random chicks sillouette exploded? Like, her entire abdomen enlarged like there was some alien baby bursting out, theres probably going to be some spawn creatures from the big monster.

NOw I want a slusho....or 7 of them...at once....

U CANT DRINK JUST 6 XERO!

NOw I want a slusho....or 7 of them...at once....

That wasn't my intention....if you paid attention to the viral marketing for Cloverfield you'd understand the reference...like Preventer has.

I'm trying to avoid watching any trailers until we get TV adverts here.

Odd, Cloverfield trailers have showed North America for a while now.

And damnit Xero, why can't you call me WIND like everybody else? Why can't you all do that!?

Did anyone else enjoy I Am Legend? I thought it was awesome.

I'm thinking of watching it, my bro has it and told me it's a remake of "Omegaman". I'm thinking of watching that first.

Actually, The Omega Man was based on the same book I Am Legend is based on.

I've wanted to see it for a while but haven't. I hear reports that there's a pretty damn clear nod to there being an upcoming Batman Superman movie in it.

I highly recommend watching it if you find the time.

Would confirming or disproving a nod need a spoiler button? *dense*

You don't have to confirm, I know it's there. A couple of my friends who've seen it told me.

It uses the Returns logo, unfortunately...

... Oh...

I Am Legend was good. Until the setting was done being defined and the plot set on. In other words when [spoiler]the woman shows up.[/spoiler]

I've wanted to see it for a while but haven't. I hear reports that there's a pretty damn clear nod to there being an upcoming Batman Superman movie in it.

WB is actually making that Justice League movie that's slated to some out some time between 2009 and 2011 (I forget when exactly).

But they're using different actors for batman and Superman, since Bale has a three movie contract as Batman, and that third movie will probably not be Justice League.

Same for the superman guy.

Bale can't be the Batman of JLA or Batman/Superman because it would look weirrrrd.

Not really. But I can see kids in the future not understanding how Batman/Superman doesn't come after Dark Knight but before Batman (original).

Alright, I'm a bit late here, but I just saw Juno.

Magnificent. Absolutely magnificent. Some of the best acting I've seen in a long time, and it was so heartfelt, smart, and clever that I am telling you right now that it made it onto my top movies list, which isn't exactly definite in any way, but certainly doesn't include a lot of movies like Juno.

Hater.

Wall-E (http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/walle/)

Seems like a really childish movie, after all it's made by the guys who made Toy Story, Monsters INC. etc. But I always found those movies funny, so I'm going to watch this one, looks amazing too.

Reminds me of R.O.B.

Toy Story is one of my favourite childhood movies.

The Lion King, for the win.

I've always loved Pixar.

Bah. Give me The Goonies or Little Monsters any day.

Also, Wall-E looks like a midget Johnny 5.

Well, duh, Goonies.

ACTUALLY I saw this kid who looked almost exactly like Chunk today and I was like :-O in the middle of the street.

The Sandlot was MY movie back in the day. Toy Story was right up there, too.

I love Pixar movies to death, they're the only kids movies nowadays that I can truly sit through and say that I enjoyed it as much as any other quality teen/adult movie.
I thought I posted the Wall-E trailer. It looks interesting, to say the least.

Rattatouille was jawesome.

You don't wanna know about my brother's cooking adventures after watching Rattatouille.

A review of Cloverfield by the folks at Explosm.net (http://explosm.net/articles/20032)

They've never seen it.

Coincidently, I just read that about an hour ago, but I didn't think anyone here would enjoy it.

Explosm is a great site, with hit-or-miss comics. They're either hilarious or crap.

It's worth checking daily.

For instance, today's pretty good.
Also, the videos (like "I love Noodles" or whatever it's called) are golden.

"I Love Noodles" is indeed golden. So very golden.

You were the one that showed it to me.

Oh. Well, then, roundabout fun for all.

Yep :D

I REALLY wanna see Cloverfield. We have a 90% chance of a Snow Day tomorrow so I'm gonna go see it at the first showing.
It's gonna be sick.
I hope.

I might see it tonight at midnight.

I'll be seeing Cloverfield tomorrow along with something else. Not sure what, though.

I'm kinda' mad because all my friends opted against seeing it tonight, and we're busy all weekend. I got myself all hyped up for it, too.

Even if I don't care too much about it, especially in comparison to all those obsessed fans, it's still one of the more interesting titles to be released lately, and it's one I want to see pretty badly.

I guess there was a whole online thing with it, which I guess is neat, but they always suck. Really bad.
It's like a text based videogame with 404s.

I'm not gonna' lie, I devoutly followed the LOST ARG between the second and third seasons, but I lost interest about halfway through the summer. It was pretty neat.

Oh my #####ing god Cloverfield is awesome as all #####ing hell! That was so much better than I expected it to be!

NOW I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT EVEN MORE.
Since it's a snow day here, and I don't have a ride, I'm gunna have to walk a few miles to go see it.

It's wintery mixing, so it'll be snowy rainy sleety hail-y.
Poop.

I get to see it tonight for free after we close!

MUAHAHAHAHA.

OKAY.
I watched it.
It was great.

Some non spoiling tips-
Right at the VERY end of the actual film, with the view of Coney Island, watch the sky on the right, not the beach or the ocean.
Also, sit through the credits and right as they are about to end the music stops, listen really closely.

Worth the price you'll pay for it but it leaves you wanting more.

I was about to go see it today at 4:40, but my friends all cancelled. Ugh. Pissed me off a bit, since like I said, I'm busy all weekend.

Just go see it yourself.

It's already 5:50 anyway, and I'm not too keen on going on my own anymore. I'm the kind of guy who needs someone there right after the movie to go "HOLY ##### THAT WAS AWESOME" with.

Bring a hobo.

Agreed. I enjoy movies much more when I share the experience with someone else.

I have to admit, while I'm apprehensive as hell, I'm tempted to see Cloverfield based on what I've heard.

Bring a hobo.

"Hey, guys, he says this movie is meant for older audiences. It may not be appropriate."
"Listen, Mr. Homeless Man. If you don't wanna' buy us the tickets and not get your ten bucks and not buy yourself a bottle of vodka, then be my guest."

I never go to movies alone, if I want to see and no one else does, I don't go. I'd rather wait than be one of those guys.

Exactly.

One of those guys tried to cuss us out once back in middle school 'cause we were talking a bit into the coming attractions for Scary Movie 2. He was wearing a bucket hat and was fat so I decided he was a knob. I stared him down.

There have only ever been two movies where I would have gone alone to, and both times I was lucky enough to find someone willing to go indulge in my odd tastes.

Those were the Hitchhiker's Guide movie and The Golden Compass. I actually saw The Golden Compass twice, each time with a different girl that I knew would be easily sucked into all that stuff.

My friend hit me on the way out of Hitchhiker's Guide because he thought it sucked, and yet there I am walking with him talking about much a thrill it was to finally see the movie adaptation and how I could die happy.

My feelings for the movie have since died down a bit, but I think I was floating on the way out of the theater.

No, see, he was falling. Not floating. Moron.

And no. I'm not that guy, either.

Who's to say he wasn't floating down, really fast? Huh? Moron.

That's generally called falling.

Or landing. Or emergency landing.

Failed emergency landing, really.

There's no way to pass an emergency landing, really, as they're not supposed to happen in the first place.

Well, you can still fail them.

By staying in the air, maybe.

Douglas Adams once said that the secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

I saw Cloverfield again; not as jaw-dropping as the first time, but still pretty #####ing awesome. I also saw The Orphanage, which was an okay movie. I thought the pacing was a little too slow, but it had a good storyline and was beautiful to look at...very well done.

CLOVERFIELD, loved it.

I liked that music, too. One guy insisted on standing there through the credits before we could clean it so we basically stood there and hung out, listening to the music. And then I heard it and I didn't really give a rat's ass. It didn't make any sense to me at the time, and now I don't even remember what it was. And I didn't bother to stay 'til the end AGAIN 'cause I'd already seen it.

Everybody kind of feels that way.

Just got back from Cloverfield.

It was pretty decent, and did a good job of making NY feel claustrophobic.

Did anyone else find it ironic that the man with the camera was named Hud?

I didn't find it ironic, but I did notice that. I didn't consciously make the connection with the camera, though. My absent-minded thoughts on the subject were more or less "There's something fitting about that name" but I was still paying more attention to the movie itself.

Hud was a sucky cameraman.

I'm pretty sure that was done on purpose, although I didn't realize the connection until I was on my way home from the midnight showing - I wouldn't have realized it without having played the Descent games years ago.

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM! *spits out*

Cloverfield:

The movie was awful.

First, while the characters weren't bad, the drama bomb plot concerning them was absolutely BORING compared to the ##### awesome that was the monster attack and it's little friends that was going on in the back ground.

The camera was so #####ing shaky that it made me want to vomit. Badly. Wholly half the movie was excessive "shaking the camera" to hammer home the fact it was an "armature filming" angle. And when it wasn't being spun, shaken or waved around, the camera was pointed at the guys feet or wall. They could have kept the camera much more stable and STILL kept the feel they were aiming for.  Really, not even the most retarded, brain damaged paint huffing special Olympic runner up type with parkensons would jolt the camera as bad as the people in this movie.

This idea worked for Blair Witch because it was largely not dependant on the background goings on, but this movie was done on the epic scale of monster destroys city. And the monster was fairly interesting. I was far more interested in what it was, how it got there and how the fight against it was going than these idiots running around.

I'd say the movie was bad. It would have been OK for what it was if they'd handled the camera better, but as it was, I just think the movie took one awesome concept and one boring as ##### concept and made you sit through the boring one while dangling the awesome one just out of reach for 80 minutes.

Definitely too much drama, needed more gore.

I think it's sticking to realism when it keeps you away from that information, really. A lot of secrets are kept from the general public, so it's not surprising that there's no immediate explanation of the events available to these people, and it'd be lame to have some explanation tacked on all half-assed-like after the end of the tape.

But yeah, a lot of people got refunds due to motion sickness, so I can concede that point.

I'm watching To Kill a Mockingbird for my Film & Filmmakers class.

That's a good book. The movie ain't bad either.

Atticus Finch is probably the coolest name ever.

It's up there.

I loved when he shot the dog.

I loved the social commentary on racism BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

You're just a raisin...

in the sun...

Just watched Across the Universe.

What a trip, man. I love The Beatles, and I thought I'd be disappointed with this. I guess I was just expecting something entirely different. I honestly knew nothing about this movie before watching it, and it was a very pleasant surprise.

Although some of it way beyond weird, it all had a nice... well, it was art.
I highly reccomend it.

I finally saw Cloverfield. I was hanging with my friends all day, and then suddenly we decided to see Cloverfield at a theater about two hours away from town. It was really cheap, $2.50 a ticket.

Anyway, I really liked it, but the response was extremely varied between the 10 or so kids I saw it with. A few loved it, a few hated it, and one guy fell asleep.

I thought it was really cool, but it didn't make it to my Class 1 favorite list. Class 2, maybe. (I'm tired of ranking movies, so I rate them 1-5, 1 being absolute freaking awesome favorite and 5 being utter crap.)

So... someone I know spotted "Frank" from I Am Legend in Cloverfield.

And we just saw The Eye at the screening I'm back from, and guess what's in THAT movie:

[spoiler]A FLAMING HOMELESS MAN.[/spoiler]

Well, I wasn't planning on seeing it, but I just got back from Strange Wilderness. A few friends and I went to see it on a whim. We literally saw the commercial, said "Hey, let's go see the movie," and went. It's been a long day.

While it is certainly not a GOOD movie, it was definitely very entertaining in an incredibly stupid way. I laughed a lot, but it could've been because I was already in a goofy mood, but we all seemed to enjoy it. It's pretty ridiculous and CERTAINLY not a family film in ANY way. The movie it most reminded me of was Beerfest - unrealistic plot mixed with stupid yet successful humor.

Trash, yes, but I laughed a lot and I can't deny it.

Cloverfield had a unique approach to camera work. And that's it.

I mean... Love interest stuck across town during a monster attack? Could you get any less original? And the monster designs were just as boring.

I no longer remember the last time I saw a monster and thought "Wow, I've never seen anything like that before."

I looked at your face.

I rolled my eyes.

What overwhelming wit...

I watched Blade Runner: The Final Cut last night. It was the first time that I had seen the movie all the way through; every other time it was just in bits and pieces. Great movie, but that ending was really abrupt. There needs to be more to this story - are the sequel novels any good?

I haven't read them at all but what I've heard is no. QUITE no.

The PC game was good.

I saw Juno and Michael Clayton today.

Does the Final Cut have the voice-overs?

It has every version, so yes and no.

Does the Final Cut have the voice-overs?

There was text at the beginning, but I don't recall any voiceovers. I think what Abe is referring to is the five-disc version that you can get in a sexxxy metal briefcase. Over here you can get it in either the two-disc version (done so all of those who bought the four-disc last fall wouldn't go into a tizzy) or the five-disc (which rocks).

The voice overs were in the original where Han Solo explained everything.

Made a whole lot of sense compared to the first time I watched it where there were no voice overs.

BTW, saw Cloverfield last night. Good movie but... LEAVES TOO MANY GODDAMN QUESTIONS!

[spoiler]
Did the monster die!?
Where did the monster come from!?
Why did the monster attack!?
Did that other girl who went on that other helicopter survive?
WTF HAPPENED TO THAT GIRL WHEN HER EYES BLED!?!?!??!?1?![/spoiler]

1) Those are kind of spoilers.

2) Apparently there's a lot of online stuff you have to look at to explain the movie, and it was intended to be that way.

1) True

2) True

GEEZ SRRY.

And links, please? Going to bed so can't bother right now.

Donno, haven't seen it.

Here's a crazy idea: look it up yourself!

In the time it took to post the question he could've found it himself, heh.

I DID find it myself.

Wikipedia, bitches.

The voice overs were in the original where Han Solo explained everything.

Made a whole lot of sense compared to the first time I watched it where there were no voice overs.

It also gave the whole thing a more noir feel.

I just watched Barefoot Gen.. I don't think I have to explain anything, it was tough..

OMMGMFMGMFMG!!!11

DragonBall movie has been announced, looks like it's actually happening now.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1098327/

Looks like Krillin isn't even in it...

The ways in which that will be horrible are numerous.

...this is... like... ugh.

Can I say...

Childhood ruined?

Not yet.

Heres the rock I bought a month or two ago. It's pretty cool, and it may look small on the outside, but inside it's quite roomy and comfy. I say to my friends I can see Jesus on my rock, but they can never see it.

I'm living under it.

I SEE IT

I'm callin' you Patrick from now on.

As for the new movie: I cannot imagine it working at all. Hopefully, this is just DragonBall and not DragonBall Z.

I think it's pretty clear that it's just Dragon Ball, since it said Piccolo is the main villain.

True, but I'm also hoping it won't spawn another.

Unless they intend to do very well graphically, or something... I dunno. I'm more disgusted about this, really.

The apparent poster.

Honestly, Goku doesn't look that bad..

... No. No. No. No. No.

Yeah, the suit looks cool. But not for DB... OH WELL!

lol @ piccolo.

The suit is dumb, his hair isn't even close, etc.

I understand a human can't get their hair like Goku.. but come on... that's just... retarded.

Which is why you use CG for the hair.

Actually, to tell the truth, I knew about this movie since last year.

No lies.

I've HEARD about a real life DBZ movie like years ago. But never actually saw anything proving it existed until today.

Yeah me too, but I never actually thought they'd do it.

Why does no one seem to notice how horribly fake that poster is?

Why does no one seem to notice how horribly fake that poster is?

CUZ ITS REAL DUH

We all know it's fake, not even DB would have a poster that hideous. Although, the two actors in the movie are the right people.

I was referring more to things like the edges of the clothes, the hands, the hair on the arms, and so forth.

Actually, to tell the truth, I knew about this movie since last year.

No lies.

I did too, but I've always enjoyed that "Hello, and welcome to last week" picture. It fits.

I saw Jumper today. I thought it was interesting and fun, but there isn't anything great about it. I hope that they make enough money for them to make a sequel.

I was interested in that movie till I saw it starred Hayden Christensen.

Not only do I not want to see him in anything ever, I'd like to see him lynched.

Then maybe he'd learn how to emulate emotion

I dunno, I think he's okay. I've heard that he was great in Shattered Glass, and I thought he was okay in Awake and Jumper. He's good for the "everyman" roles like James Franco. Unfortunately, that's about all he can do well.

Watch Life as a House and understand what it is to want him dead.

Hahaha, most people where I work were like "... Oh. Him. Well, #####."

And then there's this girl who was all "Well, he doesn't NEED acting. He's just perfect! Have you SEEN his eyes?"

Anyway I didn't walk into that auditorium expecting anything thought-provoking with amazing acting. It was sort of a movie to just hang out and watch and not really care who the actors were.

In the end I was entertained by the concept and the action in the movie. And, I guess, a bit of the humour. Nothing else really made it onto my "cup of tea" chart.

Honestly, Goku doesn't look that bad..

Yes, he does.

So. Movies.

I liked Charlie Wilson's War.

I wanted to see that, but it came out right at the end of the semester and was out of theaters before I got back to college.

I saw Definitely, Maybe today. It was good. Nice to see Ryan Reynolds do a role that's both comedic and dramatic.

I feel like watching The Last Starfighter.

I own that movie...made me giddy after the first time I saw it. Good stuff.

Oh my #####ing God. I'm watching Firestarter on TV.

##### yes.

I watched four movies yesterday, 3 of them for the first time.

Good Luck Chuck: Meh.
The Number 23: TWO THUMBS UP
...I forgot what the third movie was.
Ghostbusters: DUH FOUR THUMBS UP AS ALWAYS

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The Fifth Element is on TV!

:-D

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The Fifth Element is on TV!

:-D

BOO PEACHTREE TV

I don't care when it's The Fifth Element. M-I-C-K-E-Y? Because it's The Fifth Element and it's too awesome.

It's currently at my favourite sequence in the whole movie - The opera / Diva dance.

And now it's finished.

THE STONES ARE IN THE BLUE CHICK!

The Poster is an obvious shoop.

And Krillian could be one of the uncasted people listed.

And black.

And now it's finished.

NOT IN MY HEART ASSHOLE!

I watched DOA: Dead or Alive with my roommates last night. Fun was had by all.

If you're going to watch Vantage Point, expect to see an action movie. There's nothing thought-provoking about it like the concept would imply.

I saw the Transporter for the first time yesterday (It was playing on the TV Screens while I gave blood).

I was surprised at it being a good movie.

I saw Persepolis last night in my roommate's hometown. They have an indie theater there, and the owner pretty plays whatever she damn well pleases. Apparently last week she ran a showing of all of the short films that were nominated for Oscars; this week she had The Bucket List (if someone wanted to go see it, I'd go), The Savages (Want to see this), There Will Be Blood (Already saw it...it was good, but I don't need to see it again), and Persepolis. Persepolis was really good. Really funny at times, and I thoroughly enjoyed the animation.

I also watched Matchstick Men last night at his buddy's house. Good movie.

Current: Critters 4

Brad Dourif > You

I put the Persepolis book in my drawer at work, I don't know if I'm going to read it though since I watched a decent sized trailer for the movie last night I might opt to just see the movie and not read it first, it looks pretty close to the book anyway. Plus I heard from my boss that the book is VERY indie, in the "it's so thickly indie it's just trying to be indie" kind of sense, so I don't know.

Last night Jess and I rented Across The Universe. We got 5 minutes into the movie (and it already was awesome) and my DVD player #####ed up in a smashingly incredible manner and locked the disc inside it. So I got my  "crappier" DVD player and we watched Old School. I've just finished unbuilding and then rebuilding the broken DVD player just to get the Across The Universe DVD out. I don't really want to watch the movie without her though so I guess I just spent money to rent a headache instead of a movie.

>_>

<_<

The upcoming Horton hears a who movie looks nice.  *Is beaten and mauled*

Anyone think they should make "The Lorax"

Actually, "Horton Hears a Who" does look surprisingly good.

Mike, "Across the Universe" is a gem. Any haters out there who say they ruined the songs are just losers who think they know what they're talking about. Nobody expected the covers to math the original Beatles tracks in any way, it's all about putting them together in a single wonderful, unique experience. It's also a good movie to watch with a girl, so yeah, wait 'till you can watch it with her.
It gets slow at some bits, but too much of it is amazing so you never get bored.

If I don't go out tonight I'm gonna see if she wants to try watching it again.

Good choice. "I Want You So Bad" is my favorite scene.

Excuse me while I math the original Beatles tracks.

The Prudence character is a waste of time and film. Bono was unnecessary, but whatever. It was still good.

I agree with you on Prudence. "...you'll let me be your man" threw me off a bit.

Uhf Bono shows up? I hope it's a second. I hate that kid.

Excuse me while I math the original Beatles tracks.

Heheh.

I agree with you on Prudence. "...you'll let me be your man" threw me off a bit.

She just sucked as a character. There was nothing to her at all from the very start, she was annoying in any scene that she was in other than the final one, and her singing was crap. The whole "Oh my god, is that Prudence" thing during the Mr. Kite circus...way to ruin a great scene.

Ahaha, I didn't even understand why they felt it necessary to stick Prudence in there, though I didn't have as much of a problem with her as you seem to.

I still like the "She came in through the bathroom window," line.

Yeah...which brings me to my main problem in the movie. Unnecessary characters like Prudence and to a degree, Dr. Robert and Mr. Kite, are thrown in just so they can make 20+ more Beatles references. Great for inside jokes, crappy for an actual film.

Fair enough. I'd say they needed filler, but it was a LONG movie anyway.

Fair enough. I'd say they needed filler, but it was a LONG movie anyway.

Musicals always, always, ALWAYS have filler. The difference is when they can actually make it work. Across the Universe made it work sometimes, other times it was absolutely terrible. There was seriously one transition when the characters seriously said "Hey! What's that over there," leading right into the next song. It's like...you've got to be kidding me.

Last night; Boondock Saints and Grandma's Boy for the first. Well actually I had seen the end of Boondock Saints, but yeah. Good stuff, even though Boondock Saints is just a bunch of cool scenes strung together.

Oh, I finally saw Night at the Museum, by the way. It wasn't horrible.

It wasn't good either.

I haven't actually seen a movie for a while... I think the last one I saw was Waterboys, a Japanese comedy about high school boys pulling off a synchronized swim team. Thus compromising masculinity ensued and lots of bullying. Over all the movie was okay... 

Sounds like a movie CHOCK full of lulz.

Sounds like a movie CHOCK full of lulz.

It had its moments. But it was a little dry compared to most western movies because it was Japanese- the humor was pretty damn funny though.

So in my T-kick and through the magic of internet flash players I watched all three Terminator movies today.

The Terminator, 1984
It was good to see The Terminator again, as it's not often on TV and I don't own any of the movies. For some reason I had it in my head that Kyle and Sarah were a few years younger, so I'm glad that got out of my system. Plus I felt like hearing Kyle explain some stuff again to see how it matched up with the rest of it all. And seeing the part they used for the cover of Metal Gear, the part where Sarah's photo burns (which was recently alluded to in the TV series along with that whole massacre), ans seeing Kyle drive a car that looks like the General Lee with a big plasma mini-gun mounted on top it while fighting some kind of massive Skynet assault robot (T-Tank?) during the opening were all pretty cool.

And Sarah Connor's boobies when that actress was still young and good looking.

If it was still 1984 (and I was born and sentient) the T-800 (Arnold) would have scared the ##### out of me. Not now, being that it's 24 years later and rubbery faces with metal and a red eye look like crap. But you know.

What we learned: "The future is not set. You must be stronger than you imagine you can be."

Terminator 2: Judgment Day, 1994
Well of course it's the best movie of all of them. AND it doesn't ##### up the timeline since at the end of this movie you can call it a day; The research that leads to Cyberdyne System's creation of Skynet from the hand and the chip of the T-800 from the first movie. Unlike that T-800 though, the villain of this movie still kind of irks me. It mostly has something to do with watching it when I was a kid, but still, that T-1000 is a creepy mother#####er. He has all the badassosity of Arnold in the first movie, but has that whole "I can charm my way into your house" crap since the T-800 in the first movie was a straight up big honking fiend. A monster. He "never stops", to haphazardly quote Kyle in the first movie. Okay. Wicked. A big ass lummox is coming for you.

But then T-1000 comes in and #####s that up all over the place, 'cause he's still the baddest of asses but then he's got all that sick charm. AND he can change shape, and that's never not creepy. Plus he constantly stabs people through with arm blading. Oh, and shooting him is worthless, running him over is worthless. Stabbing, freezing, teasing, none of it works. The only thing you can do is melt him. MELT HIM. Now, in my life melting stuff comes up all the time. But for you? Yeah I know, I'd ##### my pants too.

But holy #####, John Connor. This kid is 9 or 10? NINE OR TEN? I mean, I know he's messed up and all that, but uh... Whoo. That kid talks like a sailor. I figured he was about 13 just from watching. He couldn't be older but I did the math and he's 10. I'm not sure how long after conception the scene with preggers Sarah is in the first movie, so he could be 9. Either way, that's #####ed. He steals and swears like... Well at LEAST 13. Think about it. When I was ten, I was in grade five. I swore all the time and watched porn and ##### but that's 'cause where I used to live my best friend was like 4 years older than me...

... Maybe it's not that odd that he's ten. >_>

But, the third movie AND the TV series both change John's age at the time of T2 to 13, for whatever reason. Maybe because it feels right.

Anyway the movie ends with the heartfelt moment that still tearjerks a friend of mine to this day. It's all sad and triumphant at the same time like the first movie. And now the machines will never try to usurp the planet... Or so we're led to believe!

What we learned: "The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."... again.

Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, 2003
So yeah. It's Judgment Day finally. The movie was... Pretty throwaway. But I finally saw it so that's good. Hm. Not a lot happens in the movie. It was all in the commercial really. The guy who played John Connor, while looking nothing like the kid from T2, looks exactly like John Connor. He looks like a lot like the guy that played Kyle Reese in the first Terminator. And the guy playing John in the show looks like an inbetween version of the T2 and T3 Johns. So that's something.

T-X is crap though. Of all the Terminator series I've seen in action over the years (T-70, T-800/101, T-850, T-888, T-1000, T-1000000, and whatever the hell Cameron is), T-X is definitely the lamest. I mean, the T-70 was in the "Terminator 2: 3-D"/"Terminator 3-D" thing at Universal Studios and it was literally supposed to be the first humanoid shaped Terminator and the last one made directly by Cyberdyne, so it's supposed to be a piece of crap robot with a machine gun. The T-1 million is lame as can be, except I at least thought that was cool when I saw it ten years ago. Being 12 will do that.

The T-X is just... blah. A bunch of gimmicks fused into one Terminator. A girl was an interesting move I guess, they do it in the show and it works out OK. It definitely would make the bot creepier. Except there's a key difference between "Cameron" (such a clever name ::) ) and the T-X; The T-X looks like total bitch. She slicks her hair up like a shallow man-eater in the first ten minutes of the movie just to prove it. Cameron is small and has that whole innocent young girl thing going. Her expressions (or lack there of) are creepy, but as it was said in the show she's just plain freaky 'cause on the outside she's as sweet as any young girl but inside she's just another one of THEM. Then, the T-X has similar abilities to T-1000. Which is crap. They just wanted to make the threat the same, but it didn't work. Her liquid stuff utterly fails to be useful to her or interesting to me until her face goes all  liquid pissed off at the end. And the fact that she talks like three times makes her even more boring. The ability to control other machines? Eh. Ill-conceived. An OK idea I guess, but implemented badly. It was basically worthless until she got to the T-800.

And the T-800's explanation of John Connor's future death? Crap. Not only is it just gay because the John Connor of the future doesn't seem to type to fall for something as easy as that, but also it just doesn't make sense. In the first movie Kyle Reese says the whole reason Skynet sent a T-800 back in time to kill Sarah Connor is because killing John Connor in the future wouldn't accomplish anything since Skynet's already lost the war and sending Terminators back is a last attempt. So, the whole "a T-800 came and iced John in the future" is a trashy method of trying to make the girl seem important.

Also, this all happens in 2004 and the TV series #####s up by placing Judgment Day in the 2010's. Why? I don't know, but I like it better as I could never imagine Skynet being created by 2004.

That said. It was OK, I guess. But pretty flimsy. Not enough of actual Judgment Day and it screwed around too much. But I liked the almost Twilight Zone-esque ending with the narrative and a truck-out to nukes going off worldwide.

What wtf @ no explanation how Cyberdyne made Skynet without the arm and chip from the first T.

What we learned: There's no stopping the future....?


Aaaannnnnnd that's it for unasked dorkliness on my part. Keep in mind I could only have noticed this stuff because I watched them all in a row, and I've accumulated knowledge over 21 years... Whatever, still dorky.

Be Kind Rewind
The Other Boleyn Girl
Charlie Bartlett

Ooh, I forgot about Be Kind Rewind.

Anyone know if it's good or not?

Well, I just saw it last night with Irradiated-Man.
It was pretty good, it got a 4.5 out of 5 from both of us.
It relies too much on cheap laughs in the beginning (though it was still moderately funny) and starts off kind of slow, but once it actually gets going it's awesome.
Yeah, you should definitely go see it if you're a fan of Jack Black, or if you just like hilarious remakes of classic movies. But be warned, the movie isn't all about remaking movies, though the 'sweding' takes up a big part of the movie their are plenty of scenes in which no classic movies are mentioned or parodied. Still, there are plenty of nonmovie scenes in which classic movie themes are implemented, one example is Jerry (Jack Black) getting in an accident with electricity and coming back from the experience with a strange ability.
Yeah, but like I said, it's a good movie, it's funny and it leaves you with a warm feeling at the end. I'd suggest seeing it with a friend.

I just saw 'I Am Legend'.
Great movie, disappointing last 10 minutes.

I got tickets to see a sneak preview of Never Back Down. I thought meh, I like fighting so it could be cool. Not really.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's flaw was really the writing; The production value was good, the acting was fine, some interesting choices with the camera but it was fine other than the movement of the plot being just plain dumb.

There was not as much fighting as I thought there would be, the best fight is in the middle of the movie where the main character fight like three or four guys in the middle of the street in the day time and no one does anything. The movie was basically Fast And The Furious but for fighting. Character evolution was pretty lacking, so a lot of what the characters would do or decisions they'd make didn't really make a lot of sense and weird things and looks just sort of happen seemingly randomly. The fighting is obviously faked since 90% of the shots of someone doing a move are match cuts, but it's cool that the characters do MMA fighting (not a big surprise since UFC is so popular). If the movie had a plot to speak of, it would have been good.

And the guy from Blood Diamond. is. always. sweaty. even. when.. there's.. no.. reason... for... it... He also has a line I can't stop mimicking.

I got tickets to see a sneak preview of Never Back Down. I thought meh, I like fighting so it could be cool. Not really.

I'm predicting you should brace yourself for a big let down.

I just reviewed the movie, genius. I saw it last night.

Sano is currently suffering from a rare form of AIDS that disables him from reading past the first paragraph of any post.

I hate Sano and I can say that a lot since he can't read this. Whoohoo! Sano is stupid and nobody likes him! Yay!

Oh, OK.

What a jerkface, but haha he'll never know.

Hai guyz!
I DUN CAR!

You keep saying that like it's believable.

He's like Naruto but lamer.

"Believe it! I dun car!"

DattebayoRamen.

I stel dun car.

STOP STEALIN' DEM CARS, GOSH.

WE GET THREE NEW MOVIES TOMORROW. OH LORDY LORD WHAT FUN THAT WILL BE. Especially when we only have 3 cleaners instead of the usual five because people are selfish and booked the entire week off.

And one of them is Never Back Down, yea?

Haa...

Semi-Pro: It was okay, but nothing great. Part of me feels like the unrated version will be a bit funnier. Not sure if it was necessary that they went for an R-rating.

Vantage Point: The idea seems awesome, but the movie was just okay. How they kept showing stuff backwards and then starting again at noon got to be pretty annoying. It seemed like this would have worked better as a novel.

Just watched Run Fat Boy Run.

I enjoyed it immensely. Sure, it's no Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, but it was never supposed to be.
Very funny movie, but then again I'm biased to love Simon Pegg.

I saw Horton Hears a Who.

For a kid's movie I'd say it was pretty damn good. Plus I laughed pretty hard through many parts of the movie. I just got a kick out of how ridiculously random it was. I count at least three scenes where I could NOT stop laughing until it was over. There are parts where I laugh just thinking about it.

[spoiler]I forgot the name of the orange little thing, but when it started floating at the end, I was hysterical. That thing might've scared the living crap out of me if I was a kid watching it.

Also, retarded anime spoof FTW.[/spoiler]

Like I said in another topic, I saw 10,000 BC.

It was ok, would've been better if I saw the beginning though (went into the wrong theater).

Dumbest. Idea. For. A. Movie.

Ever.

http://www.imdb.com/video/editorial/me60357838/

I second that.
We males need to come up with OUR version of Teeth.

Wow. Okay. There's a hundred urban legends like that, all of them are stupid. The princess on Drawn Together has some monster cooch too. And that's just so subtle. Abstinence. I get it.

Ahaha, I heard about this ages ago on Explosm.net. First thing I thought of was what Mike mentioned from Drawn Together.

It looks ridiculous. When I first heard about it, I thought it was an old movie that's been out for a while, but now I see it's not out yet.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was somewhat right.

I've heard that the Killer Condom movie is even worse.

Is that real? Because that's actually a good idea for a comedy-horror. Not a horror parody, mind you. Just a horror that's so ridiculous you laugh, whether or not it was intended.

I don't think that's what it is though. Plus, gynecology makes me uncomfortable. There are certain things that I just don't want to see. Like a girl peeing. Never.

Is that real? Because that's actually a good idea for a comedy-horror. Not a horror parody, mind you. Just a horror that's so ridiculous you laugh, whether or not it was intended.

Yeah, it's a German horror flick.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116791/

Hehe, wow. I'll probably never see that in my life. Shame, too. Killer condoms could very well make for some really good guilty-pleasure sort of "wow, this sucks" entertainment.

"wow, this sucks"

lol

I seen Doomsday on sunday, and I thought it was by far the best movie of the year.

Dumbest. Idea. For. A. Movie.

I don't get it... does her vag have teeth or something?

Dumbest. Idea. For. A. Movie.

Ever.

http://www.imdb.com/video/editorial/me60357838/

I don't get it... does her vag have teeth or something?

Very yes.

I'm not cool with that.

None of us are. It seems like the kind of movie that girls would go see to get a feeling of empowerment and listen to "we're not gonna take it" (the #####ty one from the PMS commercial) on the way home.

No it doesn't. It just seems like a bad movie. It's not female empowering at all since it puts forth the age old idea that there's something wrong with them, which is ##### you find all over stuff from back in the day, case in point; Original Sin.

Apparently this is what happens if the ##### troll forgets to climb out when she reaches 21.

Wow, not even Dr. Mario would touch THOSE genitals.

Wow, not even Dr. Mario would touch THOSE genitals.

Are you KIDDING me? Have you ever MET Doctor Mario?

The movie wouldn't load, so I Youtube'd it.

WTF.

Dr. Mario probably installed those genitals.

You know, it's easy to scare people after watching Shutter. All I had to do was cling to the wall and wait for people to turn the corner.

Stupid movie. Really stupid. Two people predicted something very close to what actually happened, and I was predicting minor things that were proven right in the next instant.

One part succeeded in creeping me out but the rest of the time I was laughing. Either way it's no skin off my ass, I watched it for free and I got to hang out with coworkers while doing it.

Here we go again.

Wow. That's pretty good for a fake.

That's one hell of an April fools joke.

That's one hell of an April fools joke.

A very high quality one anyways.

Uh huh. Right.

It's not actually good. It's good until the first shot of Ganondorf, and then is starts losing quality faster and faster since not only do Ganondorf and Zelda look like ##### but so do some of digital stuff. Like it's high quality but so obviously not movie quality. I think the thing that looked the best was those flying spinny things in the desert. They should have kept it to a teaser trailer's length as there some nice shots that could probably be convincing surrounded by an assload of clearly bull##### stuff. It's about one of the best looking fakes out there (naturally, since IGN has the budget) but it's still plainly obvious that it's an AFD prank.

Ahah... Ahahaha... AhahahAHA... HAaHAhaAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAH AahhahsHaHaHAhaHAdubfsieu!

http://joblo.com/dragonball-pics

You just made my morning!

WOW.

HA.
HAHAHA.
jeeeeezum.

That was supposed to be Dragonball? It seemed like random people taking pictures of themselves.

Guess I missed the pics? There aren't any on the site anymore, the studio made them take it off.

D:

Oh well. You missed some funny looking crap. It was like one big cosplay convention.

Hopefully it's better than this, but I doubt it, this movie is pure genius.

*shudder*

LOL.

I'm gunna get shot for this... but... Speed Racer... What are everyone's thoughts?

Everyone I know in person is like "It's gonna SUCK, the original show SUCKED and so will this" but I'm willing to give it a chance.

Upcoming movies that REALLY interest me are Iron Man, The Dark Knight, and Wall-E. I haven't been paying too much attention, though, I'm just forced to because I'm surrounded by this subject when I work.

Even worse than Speed Racer:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472181/

Wow... what the ##### is happening to Hollywood?

Not only is it fully CGI, not regularly animated, but it's meant to be a trilogy.

My teacher was telling me about it today and I didn't believe him until I looked it up at home.

Traditionally animated.

I think Speed Racer looks like fun. It's Speed Racer for god's sakes, it's meant to be all about looking nuts and not about content. TRUST me, I've read some Speed Racer comics before.

Upcoming movies that REALLY interest me are Iron Man, The Dark Knight, and Wall-E.

Not a big movie guy and I don't watch much of them, but I'm interested in Wall-E.

Even worse than Speed Racer:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472181/

Are you serious?

#####ing Smurfs?

I know, right?!

And I'm interested in Wall-E because I love everything Pixar's ever done.

The Forbidden Kingdom was decent. It was like a martial arts version of The Never-ending Story.

In all reality, it's a Wapanese boy's wet-dream.

This shows how up to date I am about this crap, since the article was posted March 5:
Watchmen Movie Costumes (http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/05/first-look-complete-watchmen-costumes-officially-revealed/)

Just about everything makes me shriek like a small child on helium (Dr. Manhattan isn't there, unfortunately, but I guess there's not much costume there to start with), with the possible exception of Ozymandias. I'm hoping it's just the photo, but he looks too weedy.

Also, armor nipples. :(

Watched "No Country for Old Men."

Not bad, but I don't recommend it. It's like they quit 3/4 of the way through.

Watched "No Country for Old Men."

Not bad, but I don't recommend it. It's like they quit 3/4 of the way through.

What, with the ending and not seeing everything? That's actually how the book is from what I've heard.

Nah, it's just an abrupt stop, it never even hit a climax, just kind of got resolved I guess.

Watchmen Movie Costumes (http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/05/first-look-complete-watchmen-costumes-officially-revealed/)

A Watchmen movie!?

Man, I need to research this...

Yeah I saw the costumes a long time ago (It feels like, donno when). They're looking pretty sweet. I was worried the movie was going to have everyone looking EXTREMELY gay.

I saw the new Harold & Kumar tonight and absolutely loved it.

For a stupid comedy it's very entertaining, I highly reccomend it. Some really funny lines in there.

Plus, the stuff with Neil Patrick Harris is epic.

Oh, and wait 'till the end of the credits. We did by accident, we were just sitting and talking, and then we got a nice final laugh.

Haha, yeah.
I can't believe she thought the poem was lame, though. I thought it was awesome.

Also I was cleaning the auditorium before the credits even finished and when that part came up the day after I saw the movie, I was like "omg"

Ahaha, I need the written words to the poem. It was brilliant.

(http://i30.tinypic.com/23swtb8.jpg)

It's very weird seeing Heath Ledger's name there.

I wanna see them make a sequel.

What?

Anyway I don't find it weird to see his name at all.

I'm really excited for this, though, for the record. I don't usually care about superhero stuff TOO much, but I've always had a thing for Batman.

"lol asr has a ting 4 batmen!" Yes, assholes.

What?

I meant, a "Dark Knight 2".

so many bat mens.

Well they're making a third "Batman Begins". Dark Knight being the second one. After that it's the first Batman and on from there.

It's a sixth Batman. And just watch the trailer, it's obviously going to be good.

I want to see Speed Racer.

I wouldn't say it's 100% for sure going to be good, but I hi-*reads sig*

Yeah... yeah, you probably do.

IRON MAN SCREENING TOMORROW. If it's allowed, that is. I remember nearing the summer last year we had to wait a week to screen movies like Pirates of the Caribbean or Spider-Man 3 to honour the company's wishes, even though they have no way of finding out. But I'm pretty sure it's Iron Man.

Also, I thought I already said so, but Forgetting Sarah Marshall was priceless. Saw that two weeks ago and I was laughing really hard. I have "Dracula's Lament" on my iPod. I'm trying to avoid playing it too much though because it'll lose its humour quicker that way, but there you go. This doesn't say much at all, I guess, but it's an excellent movie in my view.

I WANNA SEE IRON MAN.

I WANNA SEE IRON MAN.

Then watch it.

i has no moniez.

Gonna get some tomorrow and go with my girlfriend though.

I see. So, when're YOU gonna be an iron man and stick it to'er? Eh!? Eh!?

##### off dude.
It ain't like that.

*rolls eyes*
: '(

---

No Wind, I'm not pissed, stop whining.

I'm not whining, I'm just saying yer takin' it too seriously.

I see. So, when're YOU gonna be an iron man and stick it to'er? Eh!? Eh!?

Jokes about boning cross the line.

But I was just playiiin'!

Oh fine : \

IronMan was unbelievable.

I do not walk out of many movies this satisfied. I can honestly say this movie was amazing.
Clever laughs, true thrills, awesome action, and great acting.

I never knew much about IronMan but I love Tony Stark's character. Very entertaining.

And trust me on this, stay 'till the end of the credits.
[spoiler]He really IS in every movie.[/spoiler]

I will see it tomorrow.
It shall be grand.

Unbelievable. I'll just keep saying that.

I've heard good things from die hard Ironfans (I totally just made that up, and for now I think it's excellent) so I can't wait to see it. I worked all day so I couldn't go when I knew it wouldn't be packed and was supposed to go tonight but no dice so I'll see soon hopefully.

I dont know much about Ironman eiether, but from seeing the flying mechanical suits and explosions on the trailer I can say that I'm hyped to watch the movie just for the action.

As you should be.
It does not disappoint, save for the fact that it ended.

It was a great ending, too.

Just saw Iron Man. It was great, and I DO know about Iron Man.

I'm not sure if I like Jarvis the Ultimates way. I know why they chose to do it that way (it's far too Batman otherwise, given the current timing of releases), but Jarvis is so damn charming as an actual person.

Hopefully if they make another I'll get to see some [spoiler]War Machine. As he is completely badass. Iron Monger was cool but I totally knew that Ob was double dealing the whole time. Crimson Dynamo would make a cool villain in the next movie. [/spoiler]

See, this movie actually made me feel bad for missing out on IronMan comics as a kid.

I only ever read a small handful of Spidey ones, and rarely ever, even. It just wasn't my thing.

But IronMan is something I could've really gotten into. And if it isn't, the movie did a really good job of making me think so.

I watched the One Piece today.

It was alright, but impossible to understand if you haven't seen the show. The movie is basically one of the more important story arcs in the series (30+ episodes) condensed into an hour and a half movie.

...Not that anyone here actually cares, though.

But IronMan is something I could've really gotten into. And if it isn't, the movie did a really good job of making me think so.

The movie was exactly like the comics, pretty much. Just like the good two Spidey flicks.

... I'm gonna photoshop a pic of IM in the movie into WM.

I watched the movie, I loved it to bits, but it could've used more action. But thats just my need for flashy explosions kicking in.

I loved the WarMachine part, I was expecting that guy to be him XD

Also, like ASR, I really wished I could have gotten into Ironman, I remember watching the 90's cartoon but can only remember the first episode. I say a lot that he's my favorite super hero, even though I know ##### all about him =.=

[spoiler]Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Furry. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU)[/spoiler]

Well duh, Rhodes is War Machine in the comics.

And it's Fury.

[spoiler]Haha, I know very little about superhero comics in general, so I kept thinking he was saying McFury. I've heard it several times for the past three days, too...[/spoiler]

Hahaha. Nono, Nick is the man. Ultimate version or regular, doesn't matter.

I made a War Machine out of a movie photo, though it doesn't show much. It was hard and he doesn't have the big ass shoulder cannon stuff but it looks OK. I'll show it later.

We were sitting in the theater, and my friend goes "...but Nick is white!"

It's not the colour of his skin that matters, just how big his cigar is.

Try not to crap your pants. For all who want to see what Two-Face will look like...

Sort of looks like the B:TAS version.

DAYUM that looks good.

Acid will do that to you.

I went and saw IronMan the other day. I thought it was really good. I walked in though knowing absolutely nothing about him though. I saw him make an appearance in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3, but I didn't know any of his back story. I was pleasantly suprised with how good the movie really was. I half expected it to suck due to it being like the sixth superhero movie to come out, but it kicked some ass.

MANK!

That's quality.

Iron Man is the best Marvel comic to film movie they've ever done.  I wasn't expecting it to suck, but frankly I was stunned by just how good it was.  And the casting was phenominal all the way.  If you've not seen it yet, be sure to stay through till after the credits.

I wasn't expecting it to suck, but frankly I was stunned by just how good it was.

Perfect way to describe my same thoughts. I never advocate movies like this, but I've been telling everyone specifically to go out and see it.

We were sitting in the theater, and my friend goes "...but Nick is white!"

In the regular (616) universe he is. In the Ultimate universe he's Black, and they a lot of the movie stuff from Ultimate universe. It would have been too hard to cast the 616 universe Nick Fury (he was played by Hasselhoff back in the old Captain America one, and that was no good) so they went with the Ultimate Nick Fury which was an obvious casting choice.

Man... all of you guys keep saying to stay after the credits. What did I miss? y.y I guess I should just go see it again.  :)

You missed a commercial, pretty much.

Actually, Hasselhoff played Nick Fury in his own made-for-TV movie. Fury never appeared in any of the Captain America movies.

I might see Speed Racer tomorrow.

YOU CAN DIE.

I cringed when I found out Matthew Fox was in it as Racer X.

NOT MY JACK

I cringed when I found out Matthew Fox was in it as Racer X.


NOT MY JACK

He's actually great as Racer X.

I saw Speed Racer yesterday afternoon. It was fun, and it's obvious that the Wachowski brothers love the series - I'm sure that Tatsuo Yoshida would've been proud of this film. At the same time, I was left disappointed by it. Even though it's visually impressive, it's not a great film, yet not bad either. Probably the most impressive "meh" I've ever seen. Good luck to this film trying to break even; it sure as all hell won't in the USA.

Positives:
-Feels like a smarter, 2 hr. 15 min. version of the show.
-The acting is pretty good, although Matthew Fox was really the only one who stood out to me.
-The trippy visuals are awesome.
-The race scenes are pretty damn ridiculous and equally awesome.
-If you were planning to go see while on various illegal substances, you made a good choice.
-The movie is visually stunning.
-It's great seeing Peter Ferandez as a TV announcer (the original voice of Speed Racer, I recognized his voice immediately) and Richard Roundtree (the original Shaft) as a race car driver.

Negatives
-It feels like a 2 hr. 15 min. version of the show.
-It feels long for a 2 hr. 15 min. movie, as the pacing is somewhat crappy.
-The script isn't the greatest
-Too much time is spent building up a plot that feels like it should have ended 20 minutes earlier than it did.
-The PG rating ensures that you'll be seeing this with bratty 4 and 5 year-olds unless you go to a late showing.
-Not really a negative, but where's Connie Orr (the original voice of Trixie)?

Oh yeah, and for those of you who really like the show, there's a subplot introduced that may cause your brain to go bat-##### crazy. It's okay, really. Don't flip out...it resolves itself.

I flipped out when I found out Matthew Fox was playing Racer X. I was just dumbfounded. It does not seem like his sort of role at all... hehe.

I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night. Very funny movie.

I was honestly surprised with his performance as I didn't think much of him in Vantage Point.

I was scared because I thought it would make me think LESS of him, and as an avid Lost fan, I didn't want to think of him as a ridiculous Speed Racer abomination.

So, this is good news.

Saw Iron Man last night, and I agree with all the awesomeness spoken previously of the film. I'd have to consider it my second-favourite comic book movie of all time, right after Batman Begins and right before The Mask :S

I saw the Harold and Kumar sequel last night. It was fun. Felt short. But I liked it.

Want to see Speed Racer soon.

I saw Speed Racer again tonight. It was a lot better the second time, probably because I didn't have any expectations that needed to be met and there were no little kids in the audience. Still not a great movie, but a lot of fun.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AoNDp03udhg

Ogawd.

...George Lopez?

I almost barfed.

What do you expect with the cliche crap Disney comes up with now?

This is leaning more towards stupid than cliche.

I couldn't even finish watching that. And I'm by myself right now too.

I'm embarassed to watch it BY MYSELF. That's how bad it is.

What The #### was that?

I think I'm bleeding out of my eyes.

O.O

That was more vile than HSM. WTF?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AoNDp03udhg

Ogawd.

Ogawd is right.

Yes.

WTF???!!!?!?!? Sums it up nicely too.

I don't feel like living after watching that.

I seriously want to go find the guy that made that. Terrible things will be done >.>

Uuuuuhhhg! I WAS right. Hollywood is completely out of ideas! That trailer made me honestly want to punch kittens.

Kittens!? WHY!? CHIHUAHUAS!

Oooooooo CHIHUAHUAS!

...

*hits Chaos in the back of the head with a pipe*

I hate that the song is stuck in my head.
I might gouge out my memory.

Good thing I watched only 15 seconds of it. I can't remember anything other than those dogs. And George Lopez (lolwtf?)

This movie has restored my faith in Disney.  ::)

Guys, don't go see Iron Man.  It's the worst #####ing movie ever.

Get this, the guy wasn't even made of iron. He was just a man in an iron suit. But get this, the suit wasn't even made of iron. It was like a technometalwhadjahoozit.  Total BS.  Iron can't even shoot lasers. I looked it up. I'll bet the flying was fake, too.

In conclusion. Iron Man sucks. Save your money for Jack Black's panda movie. At least you'll see some real action instead of a couple of pussies firing puss grenades at each other.

I give it a 5/5.

---

Hey, and don't see Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skullzzz either.  I mean, old people, are OLD.  And plus Shia Lebouf. I'm surprised I typed that correctly. I'm surprised this movie wasn't MORE RIDICULOUS! I mean, Russians? Aliens? Am I spoiling the movie? Do I care?

Did I mention Harrison Ford is old as balls? I think I did not. So now I did.

In conclusion.  Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skallsz blows big wads of crazy. Kung Fu Panda is sure to be a karate CHOP at the box office, so you should see that instead.

I give it a 1up.

I don't want to even bother with the new Indie, but I'll get dragged to see it eventually.

All it means to me is that A) Hollywood is deep into the revival fad and Back to the Future 4 is probably on the way and B) they're going to stop making those delicious Limited Edition Indiana Jones Mint Crisp M&M's soon.


In other news, I bought Pulp Fiction on DVD today on a whim. Mainly because I remembered it being #####ing awesome the last time I saw it, and that was when I was 5-13 years old, somewhere in that range. I can't remember.
Watching it now, when I can actually understand and appreciate it for the wonderful film it is, I'm now safely adding it to my small list of Favorite Movies Ever Made along with the likes of Jurassic Park, Shaun of the Dead, and Back to the Future 2, an honor that the likely imminent Back to the Future 4 will not be sharing.

Back to the Future 4 wouldn't even make sense and anyone who knows those movies knows that.

Kind of like how they're making more Terminator movies that happen during the war with the machines even though that's incredibly stupid. But you know, whatever, the third movie ruined the entire point and message of the series anyway.

ASR, There is one part in that movie that i use a partial definition in my relationship with my girlfriend.
In Jackrabbit slims when they are sitting there quiet for a few seconds and "Don't you hate that? Those long awkward silences, but you know you've found someone special when you can just shut the ##### up for once."
Paraphrased of course.
Pulp Fiction is one of my favorites too.

Yeah, but I've heard that line before. From here:
(http://sinfest.net/comikaze/comics/2002-07-13.gif)
For some reason, I love this lone comic strip by itself. And yeah, this is obviously from after Pulp Fiction was made, but I didn't remember the line from the first time I saw the movie, so yeah. Sinfest wins.

Pulp Fiction really is one of those "perfect" movies. I almost applauded whilst sitting there in my own living room alone.

Back to the Future 4 wouldn't even make sense and anyone who knows those movies knows that.

Trust me, that's not enough to keep it from ever happening.

I just shared that with my girlfriend.
She loves it.
Dude, ASR, you're the man.

Indiana Jones made me laugh. Like, the story itself was cool to me. Nothing overwhelmingly awesome, but good for an Indiana Jones. But like, all the main characters should've died probably well over ten times before the movie ended, and some of the stunts the characters pulled off could just NEVER have happened in real life. It was so ridiculously unbelievable that I found myself laughing at it. Still, it's nothing you wouldn't expect from an Indiana Jones film. I guess there's a nostalgia factor involved, but I enjoyed it, and I would so see it again.

[spoiler]He survived a nuke BY HIDING IN A FRIDGE. A #####ING NUKE. I LOL'D.[/spoiler]

Yeah, that was like. Whoa.

I liked the part with the siafu ants. I liked that part because I remember watching this documentary about killer ants and the siafu was one of those killer ants they talked about, and then they were in Indiana Jones and I was like YO YO YO I KNOW YOU ANTS.

They aren't massive and huge like he says they are.

I saw Iron Man a few weeks back, and being a fan of the comic, I have to say... I loved it.

It had everything I wanted out of an origin movie... Except one thing.

What it had:

1. Witty, drinking, playboy Tony Stark.
2. Perfect casting
3. A very true to the source, albeit more contemporary, telling of the origin.
4. Tony Stark coming off as eccentric and brilliant, rather than just a cold Genius.
5. Pretty awesome pseudo-technology
6. Cool looking suits
7. Rhodey and hinting at War Machine
8. Tony actually drinking
9. Decent looking fight Scenes

What it lacked:

1. Well, not really lacked, so much as the fight between Iron Man and Iron Monger could have been longer.


So really, Iron Man was AWESOME.


Surprisingly, I'm REALLY looking forward to the new Hulk movie.

Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors, and co-wrote the movie.

From what I've seen, he seems to understand Hulk better.

Tim Roth as the Abomination ALSO looks pretty cool.

And they made it clear that this movie is a reboot, which I am HAPPY about, since the 2003 movie SUCKED. (Absorbing Man is his father, WHAT?)

Also, creators have made it clear that the fight scene at the end of the movie, between Hulk and the Abomination, is twenty minutes long.


[spoiler]There will also be a cameo by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), in the vein of Sam Jackson as Nick Fury in the Iron Man movie. [/spoiler]

Also, there's another Captain America Easter Egg, like in Iron Man (The shield is in one of the background shots), an it's the Super Soldier serum (or so they say).

Then after that, it's Hellboy II: the Golden Army, which, at first, I was weary of, since the first one wasn't very good, but after reading the comic (that was basically the opening sequence of the movie), and seeing trailers and footage of it, I'm optimistic.


And The Dark Knight looks so good. Batman Begins was really great, and this one doesn't look disappointing, and though at first Joker's look had me suspicious, I think he can be great.

And that Two Face picture on the previous page didn't hurt.

EDIT:

And for those that haven't heard, the Captain America movie in 2011 will indeed be set in World War II, which is #####ing awesome.

I too am excited for the new Hulk Movie.
I love Edward Norton's acting.

I wish Jarvis had been a man instead of a computer system.

Problem with the new Hulk is that directors or producers or whoever are pushing/pushed for a Hulk Smash type movie and Norton is pushing/pushed for a whole emotional thing. The indecision makes me wary.

I wish Jarvis had been a man instead of a computer system.

Really, I didn't mind Jarvis as an AI, since, on the whole, he wasn't as important to Iron Man as say... Alfred is to Batman.

Well I figure if they had made him a man it would have far too Batmanny of a movie especially with Dark Knight coming out later.

But Jarvis is so charming. I miss him. In the comics too.

Saw The Strangers last night.  Pretty good.  Liv Tyler is sexy.

Creepy murderers who listen to old records are not.

I watched Iron Man on Monday. It was cool. But not super cool. Just cool.

Iron Man is like a maturized Megaman who's lost his taste for blue and anti-alchoholism.

I suggest you watch this.

Iron Man isn't anything like Megaman.

Iron Man isn't anything like Megaman.

No, I meant like the costume colors and Stark's drinking habits, and . . . never mind.

I've heard how awesome Iron Man is, and to compare it to Mega Man for some reason actually makes me think less of it.

Not a whole lot mind you, but a tiny bit.

Still stupid.

I saw Prince Caspian last night. I thought it was pretty good, certainly a lot better than the first one. Hopefully this one makes enough money so they make Dawn Treader.

I also watched 17 minutes of City Dragon, a kung fu flick that I picked up over at a dollar store. Wow, this movie is amazingly terrible...starring M.C. Kung Fu. Who says everything in rhyme. Thankfully, I finished my lunch and popped it out of the DVD player...whether I pop this in again remains to be seen.

Bad movies are only fun with friends.

You can find a great double feature at the dollar store.
'Attack of the Giant Gila Monster' (actually not that bad, still great with friends)
and 'The Creature From the Haunted Sea' (worst filming I've ever seen, basically so lame it's hysterical).

The next "bad movie" on my list is Teeth. We never actually buy any usually,  but I might make an exception with Teeth.
It's become an epic joke with my friends, we always reference it and how stupid it sounds but we've never gotten off our asses to watch it.

I watched Tank Girl the other day. Made me so happy to watch it again.

Teeth looks hilarious.
Tank girl is loltime.

"I'll need a magnifying glass and some tweezers."

My favourite part is when she's going after the truck and she's in the tank like "Tank Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllll!" I don't know why. Tank Girl's such a badass. And Jet Girl is pretty sassy (not in the movie, but by the end of it at least and apparently in the comics).

I'm gonna start reading the comics at work.

Tank Girl's good? It's going to be shown on Teletoon this week for the big "F'N MOVIE" thing. Just wondering if I should watch it.

Yeah they're showing on Tuesday. Whether it's good depends on you, really. It's one of those old 1995 post apocalyptic punk rock movies based off a comic book. I personally love Tank Girl. It stars the girl who played Kit in A League Of Their Own (one of my favourite movies from back in the day) and, get this, Ice T is in it!

Oh, yeah, I saw Indie today.

Nothing amazing, but it was a fun ride. The refrigerator part was the best.

Seen Tank Girl (actually, a while ago >_>)

I liked it. It was pretty WTF a lot of times but I really liked it. Especially the comic book parts.

Saw Don't Mess With The Zohan yesterday.

I thought it was pretty dang funny, also Dave Matthews plays a white supremacist.

Would you recommends it to a Matrican?

Saw Don't Mess With The Zohan today.

It was pretty cruddy. I honestly didn't think it was anything special. Yes, there were tons of funny parts, but for the most part it just wasn't a good movie and you could easily live without seeing it.

I didn't think it was anything mega-special either, but I think the parts that were funny were enough to warrant a movie ticket to watch them though.

I ranged from laughing really hard to getting really annoyed that the movie wouldn't just END already.

Kung Fu Panda was much better.

My friend guessed one of the plot-point "twists" early on, but it was so cliche and obvious that I was dumbfounded that he'd actually lean over and say "I bet this is going to happen: _________."

When the reveal in the movie came up an hour later or whatever I said really loud in the theater "HEY DARRYN DO YOU WANT A GOLD MEDAL HEY HEY WAIT I BET THERE'S GOING TO BE A JOKE WITHIN THE NEXT MINUTE OH WAIT THERE IT IS DO I GET A GOLD MEDAL NOW" and nobody got mad, the rest of the audience laughed with me and my friends while Darryn moped and acted all angry.

It was like my friend trying to spoil Indiana Jones for me by saying that Shia LeBouf was Indie's son. Everyone knew that the day he was CAST as Indie's son.

I didn't know that, but assumed that, so it's cool you said it. I'm going to see Indy on tuesday, finally.

I still want to see Zohan, don't care what you say. Mainly because my friend who is from Israel and has a similar accent (they didn't really get it right) wants to see it and I'm just gonna pretend it's all possible and that my friend can do everything the Sandman does in the movie and does so on a regular basis.

I saw Taxi Driver the other night after picking it up at Wal-Mart for $6. Great movie...it kept me guessing the whole time because I really had no idea what Travis was going to do next.

I also watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night with my folks. I thought it was pretty good and fun, but not great. It got more ridiculous as it went on, and I'm not sure that I really liked the whole sci-fi approach that they took with this one. Oh well; it was one hell of a ride and I wouldn't mind seeing another one.

Ya feelin' lucky, punk?

Taxi driver is a great movie, anyone who hates hookers and drug dealers should watch it.
Absolutely crazy.

Who hates hookers and drug dealers? I don't understand.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTALS II

Going to stay up extra just to watch it.

Seen the first one last night, loved it. Heard II was the best and III was the worst. Going to watch II soon. Going to watch III anyway tomorrow.

Wrong. The first one is the best, the second one is good, and the third one is pile of steaming cannibalized transient bodies.

The second one is just fun 'cause of Vanilla Ice and Super Shredder.

Yeah II was pretty badass.

But I was badasser.

III was just ass.

Ya feelin' lucky, punk?

That's the Dirty Harry series, dude.

WELL EXCUSE ME, I know he says some thing into the mirror that gets really cliched till the end of time.

WELL I FEEL ASLEEP(!!) HALFWAY INTO THE FILM. >:(

Sucks. :( There was about an hour left of the film... But what I did saw from it... the first was better.

Going to see how bad III is tonight.

I think you missed the point of the movie.

WELL EXCUSE ME, I know he says some thing into the mirror that gets really cliched till the end of time.

"You talking to me? Are YOU talking to me?! [looks around] Well, there's nobody else here, so you MUST be talking to ME!"

THAT'S IT.

Thank you.
*'tarded*

A friend of mine dressed up as the main character for Halloween.

I haven't seen the movie.

WELL I FEEL ASLEEP(!!) HALFWAY INTO THE FILM. >:(

Sucks. :( There was about an hour left of the film... But what I did saw from it... the first was better.

After you watch it, watch the Angry Videogame Nerd's videos about the Turtle MOVIES (not the games, but that's good stuff too). And then you'll know.

I went to the premiere of the Incredible Hulk last night.

IT WAS AWESOME.

Holy crap, so so so sosaidfoaisjfoasidfj goooooooooood.  And Liv Tyler is sexy.  Again.  That's two sexy movies she's in that I've seen this year.  Ed Norton did an outstanding job as the Hulk, it was amazing.  The Abomination/Hulk fight was SUPREME.  Giasf9sdu8hf I wanna see it again. Right now.

God there were SO many throwbacks to the classic Hulk TV show.  Like a newly-arranged "The Lonely Man" segment, and friggin Lou Ferrigno.  And of course Stan Lee had the most awesome role of all,

[spoiler]as being the only person in the entire United States to drink the ONE bottle that was poisoned by Banner's gamma infected blood, hahaha[/spoiler]

Just go see it. Today.

It gets a million points.

I really want to see it, and I had plans to do so today, but suddenly I'm going to Baltimore for some family bat mitzvah and ugh.

IT'S AWESOME

I'm going to watch The Happening tomorrow.

M. Night Shyamalan is a meh story writer but this one looks kinda interesting...

I at least want to know what's happening.

What's happening?

His career is dwindling.

I saw Kung Fu Panda. If you're a fan of martial arts flicks, then you'll like this one. Otherwise...you may not.

I'm going to watch The Happening tomorrow.

M. Night Shyamalan is a meh story writer but this one looks kinda interesting...

I'll give you odds that the twist in it (because I'm pretty sure this one actually has one) is that's just The Reckoning from biblical and all the people who live are actually the damned one. But that's just my guess from trailers/commercials and I could easily be wrong.

You are easily wrong.

The Happening was an aaaaaaweoijawoeijaowiejaosome movie!  Good lord, two awesome movies in two days.  I'm impressed with myself.

After you leave the theaters, I promise you will become paranoid about everything around you.  I still am.  A little bit.

I went to the premiere of the Incredible Hulk last night.

Someone texted to me that The Incredible Hulk was awesome, and it's from a number I don't recognize.

^Rofls

Also, I can't go to Thunder Bay today so... Not watching The Happening.

Tomorrow I will though.

That Hulk was awesome. And it turns out it was just some girl I dated, but nothing ever happened with.


Also, watched Punisher: Warzone trailer, and it looks bad.

Got back from watching the Zohan, pretty okay. Needed more action and flipadeedoo's. The only good humor was the stuff coming from the Zohans mouth. It was a 5/10, wouldn't buy the DVD or own it in any other way..

Just saw The Incredible Hulk. It was great. I'm not gonna bother comparing it to Iron Man like everyone undoubtedly has/will. They're both equally great but are totally different from each other so there's no point talking about them together.

Anyway there's nothing I didn't like (except that holding Hulk's hand showed how much he wasn't actually there, but it was fine). Just that it ended, and I even had to pee for the ENTIRE movie. Like even going into the theatre but there was a line outside and I didn't want to leave it, though I could have as my friends would have stayed there. Whatever. I made it.

Don't bother to stick around for credits, there's nothing at all after them (and thank God they aren't as #####ing long as Iron Man's).

I think now that Marvel isn't outsourcing anything in their movies, the quality will be constantly up to par with these two. Iron Man and Incredible Hulk were done with the same quality as Spider-Man 2. Like it just LOOKS great and quality, if you catch my drift.

Like... Spider-Man 3, looked very cheaply done and just not as clean and fine tuned as #2, for example. And X-Men 3 looked about the same as Spider-Man 3. Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, and Spider-Man 2 were made on a whole other level of quality, I can't really describe it so I hope you all get what I mean.

You are easily wrong.

Then I expect the twist is dumb. Unless there isn't one. Either way I have absolutely no plans to see it. I looks good but I just don't really care enough.

I saw Indy and Kung Fu Panda (drive in movie double feature).
Good movies.
Nothing to say that hasn't been said.

My friends saw The Hulk when I was in Baltimore but, hey, we saw IronMan twice, so if this is just as good I might convince them to go again.

Otherwise I'll have to resort to another friend... I hate taking her to movies because she talks the whole damn time. I saw The Golden Compass and Jumper with her and both times she was asking questions like "is that even possible?" or "what movie is he/she from?" and such.
If it wasn't my second time seeing The Golden Compass I would've been angry, because I had been anxiously awaiting that movie.

Yeah that ##### is totally annoying. I know a few of those.

I'll admit, I'm glad she was there for Jumper because her comments were better than the movie.

So is a jumper form Osh Kosh B'Gosh, I'll bet.

Saw Hulk.  Excellent movie.  Not as good as Iron Man, but then I think Iron Man was the best Marvel comic to movie ever (yes, it's better than all 3 Spider Man movies).  Hulk, never the less, was still fantastic.  Was Marvel in charge of the FF and Daredevil movies?  If so, I guess even Marvel can ##### up thier own movies, if not, they need to reboot FF and Daredevil like they did Hulk.

Before Iron Man, Marvel used to outsource their movies. Mainly on the writing end of it, I guess. So I'm really sure FF and Daredevil are other people's fault.

I'd love to see FF fixed so Doom is.... DOOM.  And not some schmuck business man in a trench coat with a hood.

I watched Rise of the Silver Surfer on HBO or something a month or so back.

It was horrible, and you can't get around that no matter how you spin it. Even the special effects sucked.

I didn't mind either of the FF movies THAT much. The first one was pretty dumb and all, obviously, but I didn't care since I was sure it would be. The only reason I saw the second one was because Silver Surfer was in it. It was better than the first. Surfer was awesome for all the 7 minutes he was actually Silver Surfer until whatever crap happened to him and he became some loser painted pewter.

Galactus was total ass. I figured they wouldn't do the real Galactus, sure, but they didn't even do the Ultimate version which they so love to use for everything in their movies. I don't really like Ultimate Marvel, like, at all, but I get it. They just made him a storm with like a cloudy hand or claw or some weird thing. It was like the Beast Planet from Shadow Raiders or Unicron but made entirely gaytown USA.

Doom sucked ass in both movies. That wasn't even close to how awesome Doom is. He's my favourite comic villain and they #####ed him over.

Anyway both movies were bad but they weren't as bad as Daredevil, which doesn't make any sense at anytime in the movie and is totally #####. I could probably (but won't) watch both FF movies again. But Daredevil just makes me physically angry.

I'd love to see FF fixed so Doom is.... DOOM.  And not some schmuck business man in a trench coat with a hood.

Funny thing is, the actor who played Doom, Julian McMahon, can actually do a really good European Accent, but was asked not to.

I think if the script... If just about everything wasn't horrible, he'd have been a decent Doom.

Script was my main problem with both FF movies. The acting itself is meh, even though some of the actors can do better. I thought the special effects for The Silver Surfer while he as still silver and a badass were cool.

It was more a reference to the costume they used for Doom than the actor.

Definitely. The cloak was bull#####.

I liked that he had a rocket launcher though. But his costume was assed up.

The Fantastic Four comics have never been great...I don't see why anyone would expect the movies to be.

The originals suck so bad that if you the FF Essential Vol. 1, the first three issues they don't even have their powers yet. And in those days comics were monthly AT BEST, so they had a lot more pages per issue.

The FF comics nowadays are so-so. Depends on who's writing the arc and which FF book you're reading. I read a bit recently, but.. Meh. Stopped reading.

I watched "Let's Go To Prison" recently.

It was a very dark comedy but I enjoyed it for what it was. An interesting viewing, to say the least.
It's very different than a lot of the stuff you see nowadays and delightfully unique in terms of plot.
Sure, it's got a lame twist but it sort of fit, you know?

All in all it was pretty bland and felt really empty, and there wasn't anything very special about it. It wasn't particularly funny at all and it certainly wasn't dramatic either, and the story was nothing noteworthy, so I guess what I'm saying is... it's interesting in its own right, but not really all that good.

Will Arnett is really underplayed, too, compared to what I've seen in Arrested Development and even Blades of Glory.

K. I'm finally going to see The Happening today.

I'M GOING IN. WISH ME LUCK!

Got a ticket from work for an advance screening of The Love Guru tonight. I'm gonna go 'cause it's free and I kind of want to see this. I don't know if I think it looks good or not.

I think it looks like crap.

I thought so at first but after seeing a bit more, I don't know. Could surprise me. The price is right, anyway.

Mike Myers makes me laugh.

I have no idea whether or not it will be a good movie, though. I'm hoping good, because I'll probably end up seeing it.

The Fantastic Four is meh, to be sure, but one thing is certain: DOOM IS MADE OF VILLIAN BADASSNESS.  He's easily one of Marvel's best villians, right up there with Magneto.

The Fantastic Four is meh, to be sure, but one thing is certain: DOOM IS MADE OF VILLIAN BADASSNESS.  He's easily one of Marvel's best villians, right up there with Magneto.

Doom > Magneto

Hulk 2099 beats them all!

Speaking of 2099, I kind of liked Doom 2099.

What about in the old Guardians of the Galaxy when doom was completely an adamantium robot (except his brain was still his) and he had Wolverine's claws because apparently he kills Wolverine in the future?

Anyway Love Guru was OK. It's pretty much Austin Powers type humour with new characters. Starts worse than it ends up, but it's still just alright. Nothing great.

Hindu leaders are absolutely pissed with it.

Well what else is new? The only reason Clone High isn't on is because people got pissed at the Ghandi character, who was the best one. And in the nest Iron Man movie, doesn't anyone really think that no one will get offended by a villain called The  Mandarin?

I'll get pissed if its like the Amazing Iron Man animated movie. Seriously, Mandarin comes back, possesses some chick and Tony gets all emotional, thus freeing her from the Mandarin. BECAUSE THATS HOW YOU BEAT SUPER VILLAINS

They're apparently going to do it more like the whole Extremis arc in Iron Man. Where the Mandarin is trying to make the world really Darwinist so that only the strongest end up surviving. Which is just a ripoff of a few other Marvel villains.

Well what else is new? The only reason Clone High isn't on is because people got pissed at the Ghandi character, who was the best one. And in the nest Iron Man movie, doesn't anyone really think that no one will get offended by a villain called The  Mandarin?

Yeah man, I really love those oranges.

FINALLY saw Wall-E today.

Masterpiece.

Pixar officially cannot make a bad movie.

Wall-E was a spectacular movie.
Best rated G movie I've ever seen.
Going to see Hancock tomorrow.
Screw the critics, it looks cool.

Like, honestly, Pixar is magical. Everything they touch is golden.

Jeff Garlin did a great job, too.

I really want to see Wall-E, I didn't even notice it's out..

I hear he beeps and clicks and whirrs the whole movie and that makes me wary. But I might check it out.

He says about 3 different words in the whole movie.
Which doesn't really matter, because most of the emotions are conveyed without.

I hear he beeps and clicks and whirrs the whole movie and that makes me wary. But I might check it out.

It's called fantastic storytelling.

Be wary, but have faith in Pixar.

The short film beforehand was great too.

What I liked was that Disney doesn't like commercials, so we didn't have to add the corporate commercials to the trailer pack for all that crap before the feature presentation, meaning it starts sooner. Of course that means when I check the movie when it starts, it goes straight to that #####ing Beverly Hills Chihuahua trailer, but it's easier for me to check the sound that way... not that I ever need to.

And oh yeah, I enjoyed the movie, except there was a misframe during the screening, meaning there was a line in the middle of the screen, and the bottom of the frame showing above the line, and the top showing below the line, so I had the keys thrown at me during the movie and I had to run out of the auditorium and all the way upstairs to fix it. But that has nothing to do with the quality of the film itself, it was just... unusual. I liked it though, I just missed a part.

Then there was a second misframe at the credits, and I'm like "How the hell did he manage that?" One of our staff at each time is responsible for making up the films, and I was trained on it recently, and I find it actually quite difficult to ##### up. It's just a matter of using your eyes and cutting on the proper line.

Sounds like working in a theater is fun.

I've heard it's not.

I really they tell the story well without dialogue, that I knew. I'm just not sure if I'd rather see something else in theatres and wait for DVD for Wall-E.

There are speaking parts, like Jeff Garlin as the captain of a ship and some humans and one robot, which has a really cool steering wheel design.. But not much.

Hm. Well there's still lots I want to see so I don't know.

Hancock is great.
Very quick ending though....

[spoiler] HANCOCK DIES!!!!![/spoiler]

I watched Charlie Bartlett last night/this morning, and Shooter today.

Both were pretty good.

Robert Downey always rules, and so does Mark Wahlberg.

Four Brothers is the dopest Marky Mark movie I've ever seen.

Seeing Hancock tonight.

Watched Wall-E today, it was good. Seemed like it was too short.

I also sat in the isle to watch it. There were no good seats.

Hancock was great. I loved every minute of it. The opening scene to the end, all wicked. Just really good, I don't have to say more. You can't really predict the story until you see the movie, which is nice. You can't really predict anything IN the movie until about a few scenes before it happens, so that's pretty good since most movies I can predict from the trailer, or the first part of the movie anyway.

It was Wall-E or Hancock tonight. I'm very happy with my decision as Wall-E is more of the kind of movie I can see anytime, as I don't think I'll ever really have to say "Have you seen Wall-E?" in a conversation before blowing some spoiler. And it won't come up at work when talking to nerds. Which is my entire day.

I got passes to an early screening of Hellboy II. That's gonna be dope.

Also that preview before Hancock with the dog, Bolt? That's like the first talking animal 3D Animation movie I've actually wanted to see in a looong time as I have been very utterly completely totally tired of the whole overused "let's made a 3D animated movie... ABOUT ANIMALS DAT TALLLLLK!!!1111" genre. So that'll be fun. It's like Homeward Bound. OK, not really, but if you've seen the preview you know what I mean.

YES, Mike, that's what I said about Bolt! They showed that preview before Wall-E, too. It was the only preview packaged with it.

It actually looks like something I'd like.

And Wind, Wall-E was not too short.

I got passes to an early screening of Hellboy II. That's gonna be dope.

How the hell do you keep getting passes to stuff?

He has a friend who works at the theater?

I'm going to be watching Hancock today.

I don't think I'd use any early passes because that means I'm forced to see it on a certain day.

Then again, if it's a movie I really want to see, then yeah, I guess I wouldn't mind.

And if you see it early, there should be less people.

People being the primary reason I don't go to theatres anymore.

It's generally full, actually. And that's the only annoying part. Having to go on a certain day isn't bad, because it's free. Free trumps having to go on a wednesday night.

I got passes to an early screening of Hellboy II. That's gonna be dope.

How the hell do you keep getting passes to stuff?

We get passes at work. I guess they send them to us for publicity or something, as we give some to our usual customers. It gets people talking about the movies, which is the ultimate advertisement.

Where do you work now? I remember you working at a deli.
Gonna see Hancock and Wall-e this week. Probably a twofor.

Hancock seemed a lot cooler than he ended up being though.
[spoiler]
One of God's angels? the hell?[/spoiler]

They never said that.

[spoiler]They were just CALLED gods, angels, and now superheroes. When he asked what they are, what she literally said was "Gods, angels" with a comma and then mentioned that these days they're called superheroes. What they actually are was never actually explained at all in the movie. I like that what they are is still ambiguous.[/spoiler]

Well if they won't explain it thoroughly then I won't see it.. I saw the trailer and it said something about a "secret". Too bad it wasn't that thrilling..

Also, I'm not going to see it, so anybody who has seen it wanna tell me about the main villain/threat?

Well if they won't explain it thoroughly then I won't see it.. I saw the trailer and it said something about a "secret". Too bad it wasn't that thrilling..

That's not the secret. And it's not even important.

The move is awesome. Don't be a chud.

Reading spoilers before seeing a movie is stupid too, by the way.

[spoiler]Also, all that that meant was that they've been called many things over the years. Whatever they are.[/spoiler]

So... I just went and watched Hancock.

I finished watching it five minutes ago. Yep.

Anyway, the guy who plays Leonard in The Big Bang Theory was in the background in two scenes.

Wall-E. Kicked butt.

And SO DID HANCOCK. Great movie.

Hancock got really bad reviews in my town. Louisiana is terrible at reviews. because Hancock rocked face.

It got meh reviews everywhere because it's forced to be compared to other superhero movies this season, and there's so many this year. But the movie was awesome. I think I'm gonna be Hancock for Halloween.

Gee, your costume will be hard.
 >.>

I'm gonna' be a pirate. I'll just carry around blank CD's with "Hancock 2" and "IronMan 2" written on them in permanent marker.

Gee, your costume will be hard.
 >.>

Eat me, dough boy.

Great little fake site for Wall-E. (http://www.buynlarge.com/)

Definitely text-heavy, but ripe with parody.

---

Finally saw Hancock earlier today.

I like it quite a bit, but even though they're both very different movies and really shouldn't be compared, I think I liked Wall-E more.

A friend of mine made a parody of the movie's title.

Hancock-Footpussy

I laughed my socks off.

I didn't.

A friend of mine made a parody of the movie's title.

Reading that post caused me to lose the ability to feel joy. :(

Sorry Sano, want some cheese with that whine.

Cheese makes me poo funny.

Green veggies make me poo funny.

You're fat.

So's Rosie Odonell.

My friends and I joke about movie titles and they're porn-film counterparts, like Scattatouille, Kinky Kong (which is real), and Armaget-it-on.

We decided that if anyone brings "Hancock" up in any of these conversations, they get shunned.

Shun me all you like.

Hancock-Footpussy
Hancock-Footpussy

See, the thing is, that's not even appropriate.

Neither is Armaget-it-on.

See, the thing is, kids my age find this stuff hilarious. Sorry if you don't feel the same.

Neither is Armaget-it-on.

See, the thing is, kids my age find this stuff hilarious. Sorry if you don't feel the same.

Exactly that is what is wrong.
Note: I didn't even chuckle.

I think we find it funny because all we can do is joke about it. You can't blame us for being curious. And what better way to kill the cat than with funny curiousity?

I wasn't going against you, I was just saying the word you used that is quite similar to "kitty" was a little too vulgar for MMM.

Don't get me wrong, I swear quite a bit. I hate taboos and censorship, and I'm never afraid to swear in public or talk about questionable things, but I'm ALWAYS smart about it. There are always places where that stuff is not appropriate.

And here, I at least respect that Abe tries to keep it kid-friendly. I'm blowing it out of proportion right now, because I don't really care this much, but now I have to explain it to you.

None of the ones I posted were vulgar, just humorous. I do find porno-movie-titles very amusing, and I have a large mental list of ones my friends and I have come up with over time, but I had to choose wisely which titles to post on MMM.

The three I chose are harmless, with Scattatouille being the most offensive while it really isn't even offensive at all, just moreso than the others.

Whatever.

Oooh, I'd like to take this moment to proudly proclaim that I sometimes watch pornos and fast-forward through the sex scenes just to watch the actual movie. It's a great past-time.

Yeha, it's quite funny to watch the bad acting in pornos.

Sometimes they're funnier than most comedies.

Hancock doesn't even have the word "hand" in it. Yeesh.

A friend of mine made a parody of the movie's title.

Hancock-Footpussy

I laughed my socks off.

Your friend's jokes are over 200 years old. And over 300 years lame.

My friends and I joke about movie titles and they're porn-film counterparts, like Scattatouille, Kinky Kong (which is real), and Armaget-it-on.

We decided that if anyone brings "Hancock" up in any of these conversations, they get shunned.

Scattatouille is from the 2008 MTV Movie awards.

I invented a gay-porn called "You've Got Male", years before Family Guy made up "You've Got Male Genetalia".

Yeah, I know Scattatouille was in the MTV Movie awards but we though of that one ages ago.

We were specifically talking about Pixar movies. It was hard thinking of good ones. We decided that "The Incredibles" and "Monsters Inc." would just stay the same, sort of like what MTV did with Iron Man.

We had Fisting Nemo, A Thug's Wife, Hummers (a stretch for Cars), and I forgot if we ever thought of anything for Toy Story or Wall-E.

Yeah. The closest to almost decent I ever heard for Toy Story  was "Sex Toy Story" from MadTV back when it was good.

Hellboy II tomorrow!

And only a few days 'till Journey to the Center of the Earth.

I only want to see it because it has a t-rex and Brendan Fraser is one of my few man-crushes.

It looks like the same old Brendan Fraser in oldy times stuff, but 3D would be interesting.

A friend just told me he got passes to see it tomorrow, but I'm already going to Hellboy II.

I really like the art style for the Hellboy movies and obviously the comics, too, but I've never seen or read any of it.

It looks like the same old Brendan Fraser in oldy times stuff

And then after this we've got a third The Mummy. Monkeybone still kicks ass, though, and Bedazzled is only good because of him. It's not really good though. AND he had the best guest episodes in Scrubs, even better than Michael J. Fox's.

I've read some. Started a few weeks ago but a frienemy keeps coming into my store so I have to talk to him and thus can't read. I watched the first live action movie online today. One of the animated movies is on TV right now, but I'm only kind of watching because I'm about to go to bed.

Oh, I forgot to say I saw a movie poster for a new X-Files movie at the theater.

Wha?

Could be cool.

Yeah should be alright.

And now, What if Michael Bay wrote The Dark Knight (http://my.spill.com/profiles/blog/show?id=947994%3ABlogPost%3A355506)?

Yeah should be alright.

And now, What if Michael Bay wrote The Dark Knight (http://my.spill.com/profiles/blog/show?id=947994%3ABlogPost%3A355506)?

Everyone read this.
They hack ALL the internets.

Ahaha, I read the whole thing.

"Something out of a comic book!", "this happens seventeen times", and "let's hack the internet" all made me laugh pretty hard.

Modern movies as Russian folk art (http://ziza.ru/2006/06/16/rastamanskie-narodnye-skazki.html)

Cleverly done and quite brilliant. I don't recognize some of them, though, and I can't read Cyrillic. Whoever the artist is, they've done Terminator, Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Spiderman, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Anaconda, and War of the Worlds.

Anyone want to try and figure out the ones I couldn't identify?

Those are pretty cool. But yeah, I only identified the same ones you did. I don't think I would've caught The Matrix though if you didn't say it, even though now it's obvious.

The one before Anaconda could be Fahrenheit 451.

I second that except I say that it definitely IS.

Ahaha, I read the whole thing.

"Something out of a comic book!", "this happens seventeen times", and "let's hack the internet" all made me laugh pretty hard.

"She wears glasses because she's also the smartest woman in the world" was the first that got me, heh.

I'm gonna check out the link Yubi posted when I'm home later tonight.

OK. Hellboy II was good. I really liked it. Better than the first one story-wise, funnier than the first one, plus it has Johann Krauss! And Hellboy doesn't look made of plastic. And Abe Sapien's voice is different, but not bad. Might even be better actually. He looks more alive than in the first one too. Also Snare is in it and is wicked.

Edit: On the Russian thing, I think the one before the one that is most certainly Fahrenheit 451, that could be Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but that's just a pretty half-hazard guess. I have absolutely no idea what the first one, the Croc one, or the one with the guy using the computer are.

Although come to think of it, that computer one could be Johnny Mnemonic, since he seems to be putting a USB stick up his ass. But that's a more reckless guess than Fear and Loathing.

The Fahrenheit 451 movie sucked REALLY bad... Even if you watch it before reading the book you would find it bad.

Which is sad because the book is beautiful. Some of the best writing I've ever read.

I heard another movie's coming out in 2009, though, supposed to be truer to the book.

I thought the movie was pretty good.

[spoiler]The girl lives in both the movie and the play, Bradbury noted this and while he didn't exactly agree with it, felt that it made the story better for general audiences[/spoiler].

Although come to think of it, that computer one could be Johnny Mnemonic, since he seems to be putting a USB stick up his ass. But that's a more reckless guess than Fear and Loathing.

The USB one is the most confusing because he looks exactly like JohnnyDepp!Wonka, but for the computer. I'm not familiar with Johnny Mnemonic and I haven't seen Fear and Loathing yet, so I wouldn't know.

I think I heard that the crocodile is based on some actual folk tale than a movie? I don't know. For all I know it could be based on a movie that was based on a Russian folktale about a crocodile. Talk about recursion.

Johnny Mnemonic is about people that can store data files in their brains and then can also transport the data to someone for money. Keanu Reeve's character takes on   a bigger file than he's got space for and it starts #####ing him up. A story unfolds, blah blah.

I think Matrix and Terminator are the most obvious ones. Matrix has the déja vu cats, blue pill, poses, the phone, etc. Terminator has the metal half face, the bike, the blackmith's shop in the background (allusion to either where Sarah Connor killed the first Terminator or where T-1000 and the second Terminator bought it, probably the former).

I finally saw both The Hulk and The Love Guru.

The Hulk was FANTASTIC. Everything I was hyping it up to be. I know I'm a bit late, but still. Marvelous stuff. Ed Norton's my dog.

The Love Guru was... actually not terrible. I liked it a HELLUVA lot more than Zohan, and they're both the same sort of movie: big-name funnyman makes purposely juvenile movie not to be taken too seriously.
Love Guru might not be the best movie nor the funniest, but it was definitely entertaining and fun to watch. Mike Myers is just funny, though.

*sputters with horror*

Ew. Get a tan.

... what is this twilight thing?
*reads Wikipedia*

...

...

... This is the most unimaginative thing I think I've ever read about.
Could the author possibly think of an ORIGINAL storyline that hasn't been done to death?
Maybe more original titles?
Maybe some characters and character-based relationships that AREN'T based on common mythologies?

Oh man, and I bet the main character is one of those damn annoying girls who won't shut up.

I've known about that for a while. A few of my girl friends are OBSESSED with that series, and I hate everything vampires so I always make fun of them. They told me about the movie this instant it was announced.

Oh man, and I bet the main character is one of those damn annoying girls who won't shut up.

The main character is Bella, short for Isabella Swan. She has ivory skin that doesn't tan in the sun. She's a newcomer in a town that strangely bears no resemblance to its real world counterpart (I know a person who's lived there). She's wildly intelligent, has read all the classics from Chaucer to Shakespeare, and becomes obsessed by vampires because they're all smokin' hot. The plot doesn't start proper until about four hundred pages in, because up until then it's all about her romance with Edward. (The book is five to six hundred pages in length.)

Why do I know this much? Because people I thought were my friends posted great long excerpts of it at me in AIM until I wanted to die.

... whoa, whoa, WHOA.

The main character is a MARY SUE?
WHERE IS THE AUTHOR
WHY IS THIS BOOK POPULAR
I'M GOING TO GRIND SOME BONES TO MAKE MY BREAD
I NEED MY MEDICINE

Ew. Get a tan.

The girl is nice though. I couldn't care less about the man and his exposed oval nipples.

He looks like my only gay friend so it just fits for me, really.

Anyway.

TODAY I GOT A PASS TO GO SEE THE DARK KNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY!




















Jealous?

Eat a dick.

No thanks, I'll go see The Dark Knight before you even have the option to and do it for free instead, thanks.

Well, after you do that, then.

I watched the 2008 Rambo on Comcast at a party. It's pretty good, even though it has no real storyline and just lots of blood and gore. But it's politically incorrect. In truth, Burmese people didn't torture citizens as severely as it was shown in Rambo. Maybe they did in the past, but these days Burmese soldiers are more civil. I should know, I'm Burmese.

But are you a Burmese SOLDIER?

Yeah, deep, deep inside my heart, I am evil and twisted and dumb and I wanna be a dictator. Which I do, I adore Hitler. "Heil Hitler!"

I used to be like you.
Then I realized that he was a just a scared little German midget sociopath.

I idolize Stalin now.
at least i think so

A scared little German midget sociopath with a tootbrush moustache.

In other news, I flip open a Shonen Jump mag and I get bombarded with 'New Live Action DBZ Film!'

God please help me.

Yeah. Not funny.

Anyway, you can't know what goes on in the military of yours or any other countries unless you're running them, and running them directly.

So talk to Haliburton.

Just got back from Hellboy II.

I love del Toro's artistic styling, and he can write a fairly decent story line, but the romance sub-plots (of which there are many) felt forced and unnatural.

A love story poisoned the first movie, and this movie doesn't handle them any better.

I don't like Liz-Hellboy romance crap because it never happened in the comics. I didn't mind the other romance but I see what you mean. But this movie was more of a B.P.R.D. movie than a Hellboy movie all in all, which is neat.

Yes and no.

The BRPD aspects held my attention quite well, but it also gave me the feeling that there was more interesting stuff happening elsewhere for a good portion of the movie.

Yeah I see what you mean, but I didn't mind it.

I just now came back from watching Hellboy II. I liked it.
Mind you I've read very, very little of the comics, but the movie itself holds up solidly.

The romance scenes are a little overdone at points, but so much awesome crap happens later because of it that you can't complain. They tie in things and keep the movie's plot pretty solid and devoid of loose ends (well, mostly).

This sort of thing is important when you're marketing to more than a niche audience.
I'd say it's a good compromise, but I'm curious to know what Lunche thinks (probably hates it).

No thanks, I'll go see The Dark Knight before you even have the option to and do it for free instead, thanks.

*weeps*

I just finished watching Hellboy 2, less than legal ways of course.. Good stuff, When Mike told me that Liz and HB didn't actually have a relationship in the series I never would have imagined what happened in the movie would happen. But I digress, the action scenes were pretty solid, didn't help that the screen size was ass though. After watching the first movie I really wanna get into HB, and after watching this, I want to even more. Of course, buying the comics and catching up on the series is gonna be a burden, so I'll find some other way.. some how

Also, the Dark Knight doesn't interest me, not one bit. Not a fan of DC.

This movie hurts me.

Disaster Movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWy5abFkaMk)

Why do these guys keep making movies? God #####ing damnit..

heres the poster for the movie, incase you don't want to watch the trailer (which I recommend you don't)

(http://www.moviesonline.ca/movie-gallery/albums/userpics//poster_disaster-m.jpg)

Ugh, I've been bitching about this for a while now. Definitely watch the trailer. Just so that you know how horrible it's going to be. There isn't even a funny joke IN the trailer.

Not only that, but nothing in the trailer has anything to do with any sort of Disaster Movie.

I mean, look at the poster. Nothing in THAT even has anything to do with a Disaster Movie!

One of the posters I saw had the statue of liberty half-underwater wearing a snorkeling mask, an obvious spoof of The Day After Tomorrow. However, how the ##### do you a spoof a movie like The Day After Tomorrow?! That movie was so bad that it was awesome, but the point is that it's bad. But I do love it. I mean, Jake Gyllenhal gets chased down a hallways by GLOBAL WARMING at the end! And there's wolves!

Anyway, with The Day After Tomorrow, they're quite a while late anyway.
The only other poster I saw had like Indiana Jones crushed by that boulder that chases him. And it says "ROCK ON." I literally stopped in the hall of the theater with my friend to point it out and talk about how horrible it is.

These aren't movies.

They're just horrible abominations of mixed pop-culture references.

The Day After Tomorrow was that apocalyptic snowstorm movie, right?
I liked it, but then I like ice and snow.

I make it a point not to watch any movie with "Movie" in the title.

The first thing that happened in that trailer? Iron man being squashed by a car cow?
... what was that about?
That doesn't even make enough sense to be funny, unless you're a five-year-old.

The rest of it is just more of the same poorly coordinated slapstick "comedy" with very, very poor acting.

I believe he was crushed my a cow. This movie is terrible.. I remember watching Scary Movie and it was alright, funny even.. but this is just going too far.

I have a friend who talks about these movies all the time, and thinks their spoofs are hilarious. I shun that friend quite often..

The first Scary Movie was decent, and the second one wasn't horrible either. I almost enjoyed Scary Movie 3 because I was a big fan of The Ring and Signs.

Everything afterwards has left me speechless.

None of them are any good, if you ask me.

They're all inane attempts at comedic spoofing.

I'm just saying the first two Scary Movies were the closest to anything watchable.

Everything just spiraled out of control afterwards.

Scary Movie 2 is one of the worst things ever created.

I saw that and the Ali G movie in one day and contemplated suicide soon after.

I went to see Hellboy II on Friday.

I threw up about 30-40 minutes in.

It was unrelated to the movie though, but I didn't get to see it all, so that sucks.

I saw that and the Ali G movie in one day and contemplated suicide soon after.

I hear NOTHING but bad things about the Ali G movie.

I like it.

Anyway these people should just spoof their own movies. At least that would contain them to not ruining other people's ##### with crappy ass costumes like that Hellbitch in the poster.

.... Movie Movie?
I would have to shoot everyone.
In the world.

Mike, I promise you they will get to that point. They will run out of things and spoof their own movies, somehow.

I can't wait to not see Spoof Movie and Meet The Coneheads.

I just finished watching Hellboy 2, less than legal ways of course.. Good stuff, When Mike told me that Liz and HB didn't actually have a relationship in the series I never would have imagined what happened in the movie would happen.

The first volume, to me, is hard to get through at times, since Byrne wrote the dialog for it.

Everything after Seed of Destruction is GOLDEN though.

WHERE THE ##### ARE THEY GETTING THE MONEY TO KEEP MAKING THESE #####TY MOVIES!?

...This is why I always just mark this thread as read.

Jeez. Those movies only get made because kids in middle school think it'll be cool to go see. Much like when I was there and the first and second Scary Movie came out. I saw Hellboy II and Meet Dave on Sunday... I think. Didn't have high expectations for Meet Dave, and then I started laughing uncontrollably within the first 2 minutes and it seemed to never stop. Very solid comedy. And Hellboy 2 was freaking AWESOME. Del Toro amazes me again. And I'm going to a midnight showing of Dark Knight tomorrow. Needless to say, I'm freaking excited.

I heard Meet Dave was really funny, but it was also really crap. Eddie Murphy even skipped his own premier to see it.

Meet Dave is supposed to be funny? Huh.

The Dark Knight was awesome.

Harvey Dent was #####ing wicked.

Joker was pretty much perfect.

And I saw it in IMAX, so the sound was like real life clear and the screen was huge and I got there early enough that I didn't have to crink my neck at the massive massive IMAX screen.

I just wish Bale didn't have an awful Bat-voice, and that he'd close his mouth more often.

I haven't seen a movie at IMAX in years! I feel it's about time I do that again.

IMAX is Canadian tech. You're not allowed, Michigalec!

No matter what you have over there in Ottawa, the IMAX at Science World is better. Way better. Is yours a huge #####ing globe? I thought not.

Alas, there are no feature films shown there.

You have NO idea what we have. But clearly the IMAX in the movie theatre was not a globe, so you have this round señor Grasas-so!

Watchmen Trailer!

http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/watchmen/trailer

Holy #####ing son of a #####ing #####.

Looks awesome. Though I still need to finish reading the comic...

When's it supposed to come out?

March '09.

Ah, well I got plenty of time then.

Better read it a few times.

There's so much stuff in it, that every time you read it, you find something new.

I'll watch another time. No sound on this computer.

Just saw The Happening. I liked it. I think of the ones I've seen it was his creepiest movie, only in that when nothing's happening he still uses all the creepy filmmaking elements. Which is actually annoying as you don't get much time to not think something is about to burst out or something. Also, [spoiler]he usually finishes his movies. The guy kills the alien. The man is a ghost and #####s off. The lady goes back to the water, etc. This one... Just ends. And they starts elsewhere.[/spoiler]

Just saw The Dark Knight.

Absolutely amazing. 10/10.

RIP Heath Ledger.

The Dark Knight.
Went to the midnight release with a bunch of friends.
Over 800 people there.
LONG FRIGGIN MOVIE.
Like, wow.
I'm very surprised.

I thought it ended like 4 times while I was watching it.
TOO BAD HEATH IS DEAD.
The Joker was freaking great.

Best scene in the movie?
Tractor Trailer?
No.
Bike up the wall 180?
No.
Batman walking through a rave and beating the ##### out of people for no reason and throwing a guy off a fire escape?
##### yes.

It really was an AMAZING movie.

Things to make it better:
-Less cliche lines from the cops (seriously, it was bad)
-Bale's Batman voice was a GREAT Solid Snake impression. But it's doesn't belong.
-Sonar eyes looked retarded, and why not just turn them off?
-Batman's fist fights were too robotic, and didn't feel authentic.
-It needs more BAM! CLUNK!! WASHOOOOM!!!

Was there anything after the credits?

The Watchmen trailer is OMG SQUEE HAPPY. Still fearful it's going to be ruined, but slightly less so.

HOLY #####.

I went in to Dark Knight with high expectations and it SURPASSED them.

In fact, I was blown away!


That was a great movie.

I really need to get the hell out of my house and go into a theater.

I feel free as a bird without parents. I need an elaborate scheme to kill them and replace them with artificial clones.

God, shut up.

He did great, but #####ing hell everyone is blowing all this ##### way out of proportion. He did awesome, and it's a shame, but ##### he's going to win awards posthumously MORE because he died than because he did a great job (which he did, yes).

And I have to say, Harvey Dent was the biggest shine in that movie. Not to take anything away from how perfect Joker was.

Just... Hrm. It's SO much.

Best Joker intro/magic trick ever.

My favourite part of the movie, I think.

I think I was more excited about the Watchmen trailer than The Dark Knight. Both equally sexy.

Best Joker intro/magic trick ever.

I'm gonna make this Pencil disappear!


Also, when we first see Two Face, I actually cringed. It was awesome.

His eye looked TOO fake the first time you see it, but it looked fine every other time.

Quite fake.
So much I didn't like it.

Same. Only in that first reveal. It was fine later on.

Also, the half and half was TOO perfect, I mean, his lips being full on one side and all ripped apart and stuff on the other didn't seem right, like one would be pulled over to the other side a bit or something.

Still, the fact that he could put up with that pain and not bleed like crazy is creepy.

He's gonna be in the new adds for Clearasil soon.

Computer broke, so I missed a bit.

Sounds like working in a theater is fun.

The company sucks, and I mean major ass. But this particular building, Cineplex Aurora, has a good cast of people, and it's enjoyable to work with good people with a sense of humour and a management that's capable of getting off their asses and helping out when things are rough.

A friend of mine made a parody of the movie's title.

Hancock-Footpussy

I laughed my socks off.

Sadly, there are people older than me that would find that quite funny.

Anyway.

TODAY I GOT A PASS TO GO SEE THE DARK KNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY!

I hate you.

Haha, I had to close thursday night, and we ended up being one of the theatres that played the midnight show. It wasn't fun. And the big GM, the General Manager was there to see it and thus wasn't working, and he seemed about to explode at us for simple things, and it's like, I'm only one person, I can only do so much. But oh well, at least he wasn't yelling. He was just maintaining that "I think you're doing a bad job" tone that pisses me off because he has no idea what I've been doing.

I'm finally going to see it tonight, because I've been working and this was the first screening we managed to find time for. Have to wait 'til 1:45 when the last Dark Knight finishes before I can start the movie, though. I'm sure it'll be worth it. The past few days have been a bit draining, and I finally have something to look forward to, so that's good.

EDIT: Oh yeah... some of us were speculating about Johnny Depp as the Riddler. I don't really know much about the Riddler, so I have no opinion, but what do you guys think? Not to say it's actually going to happen, or even that the Riddler would actually be in the next film, but rather do you think he'd do well for the part?

Harvey Dent has the strongest optical nerves ever.

Or his eyeball has floaty-powers.

Frankly, it's incredible he's even able to talk. Because he can't make such facial movements.

Still, the fact that he could put up with that pain and not bleed like crazy is creepy.

No it isn't. His face logically should have been completely cauterized.

Not to say it's actually going to happen, or even that the Riddler would actually be in the next film, but rather do you think he'd do well for the part?

No. Very very no. Not Depp, no thanks, never.

Anyway at work (at the comic store job, rather) we were speculating all day friday as to what villains could be in the next movie.

I want to see Catwoman portrayed or at least acknowledged (with her good costume, the goggles one, or with the stitchy Michelle Pfeiffer costume, or an amalgam of both) but if she was in it she'd have to be the secondary villain (like Scarecrow and Two-Face).

We thought about The Riddler, but again he'd have to be the secondary villain. Riddler isn't even homicidal. Although, with Catwoman being a cat burglar and Riddler being a clue master, it would actually get a lot of the World's Greatest Detective vibe in there, which would be cool. Though one of my friends says The Riddler is confirmed as the villain in the next movie, I've not heard anything official and I think it's rather soon.

Beyond those two we have to start asking the question; Do we start to delve into the world of superpowers? So far these Bat movies have been based more or less on the realism angle, and superpowers could blow all that to ##### if it's done even fraction off.

Clayface would be sweet, but not big muck monster Clayface. The Clayface who is like, just toxic and #####s people up.

Someone at the store thought Poison Ivy would be good, as long as she just did the pheromone thing kind of like Scarecrow and his gas, and didn't have all the plant controlling #####e.

I like Mr. Freeze's origin and stuff a lot, but he's SUCH a comic booky villain that it could be weird. Very weird. But at the same time, they could make it work because at least he has a loose vague basis in science.

I liked how Fox said, "It can protect against cats." When he did, I immediately thought of Catwoman in the next movie. Possible hint to the next movie? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?!

The writers were clever.

They weren't that clever.

I think this is what they meant:

Wasn't Harvey Dent in the movie? He'll probably be the next villain.

Well, Wind, I suggest you go see the movie.

Your post did make it sound like all the praise wasn't warranted, even if you said a few times that it was. I know you were tying to say that he's receiving extra accolades because he's dead now, but the generally disdainful tone of the post skewed your message.

Starting off with "God, shut up." didn't help much either.

The original post wasn't intentionally ambiguous but I realized how ASR could have taken it badly when I saw his own post.

Mike, you're like this close to the edge of looking like a fool.

Quick, smoke bomb!

You fool, Mikero doesn't need smoke bombs.

He just points in a random direction, shouts, "Look over there!" comically says, "Yoink!" and runs away. Don't you know Mike at all?

I like to say that I saw The Dark Knight this evening, but thanks to Yahoo!'s incorrect movie times, I can't. Thanks to this, I won't be able to see the movie for at least a week due to not having any more days off this week.

La-dee-#####ing-dah.

That truly sucks, man.

It's very hard to develop any sort of relationship with a ninja.

"Oh honey, let's do something romantic tonight! What would you'd like to do?"

"I'm looking forward to killing you. Right now."

If she said "would you'd like to do?" I would HAVE to kill her.

And he didn't either, apparently.

I watched The Dark Knight. Really good, everything up until Joker getting arrested was boring. And I thought that was the end of the movie but the rest of it really surprised me, after that scene everything was spectacular.

Also.

None of it was boring, you tardorama.

I just watched the Watchmen trailer like four times.

Wait. Watched the Watchmen...

"Who watches the Watchmen?"

Cool.

Like I said, Batman doesn't make me excited. For all I care he can walk into some doughnut related establishment (say Jolly Pirates for instance) and proceed to take a two hour long dump.

Can you believe Jan Wahl from Kron 4 News gave 'The Dark Knight' two and a half 'hats' out of four?!

Jan Wahl is the so-called 'movie guru' of Kron 4, which is a San Franciscan news channel, just in case you Canadians or whatever-else-ians haven't heard of her. Her rating system uses hats because she's the only person in the studio who's always wearing a different dress hat every day, as she has cancer and is balding.

That cancer must really be getting to her.

You can't trust anyone's mind who's part of California show business.

Not even my Sister?

Cool.

I've gotten really interested in The Watchmen as of late and I'm going to buy the comic soon. It better be as awesome as you all say it is.

It's not "The Watchmen" it's just "Watchmen".

And this comic doesn't need a gun... To blow your mind.

Watchmen is awesome. I just finished it last night.

I plan on reading it again soon.

Yeah, as a kid I barely read comics, but still enough to have a general idea. And usually they were just like Spider-Man, and I just read them at a friend's house. Obviously reading random issues on random days isn't enough to get me into them.

...but lately, I keep getting interested in tons of them and I feel like I missed out on my childhood a bit.

Anyway, as I already said, Watchmen has caught my eye and next time I have a chance I'll definitely get it. Promise.

Promise.

YOU BETTER. OR ELSE...
