I didn't like darjeeling limited that much. he imagery is great though. Also on the dvd there is a prologue with natalie portman's ass in it. :wank

Can't remember what the newest wes anderson movie is called but the one with the fox. That was really good too.

Dammit shy guy. I started watching tangled but didn't finish it yet.

[Krythor]

I'm watching Death Wish II. This film is nuts.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Death Wish 3 gets better and more outrageous

[Fathom Zero]

vuKeUAavpnU

A definitive moment in cinema.

[MarioRPG]

Full Metal Jacket, just because of this.

[Mad Melvin]

Dinner For Schmucks

Oh god. What a waste of time. I suffered through it and the only thing I liked was the mouse tower scene at the end. Paul Rudd and Zach Galiganisafiioafs are really starting to annoy me.


Horrible Bosses

Meh. Some funny lines here and there, but I really hated the main characters. Colin Farrell was pretty awesome though, and pretty much the best thing about the movie.

[Kitsa]

I hated Dinner for Schmucks.

[Mad Melvin]

What did I just say

[Fathom Zero]

NO DAD

[k0k0]

Tell your father that he needs to take out the gaabage.

Dinner For Schmucks

Oh god. What a waste of time. I suffered through it and the only thing I liked was the mouse tower scene at the end. Paul Rudd and Zach Galiganisafiioafs are really starting to annoy me.


I actually laughed pretty hard when that one girl was trying to sexy dance for Steve Carell. The rest of it I could have done without though. :\

[Kitsa]

jeez, apparently I should have added an "also".

Some straight up Bad Company 2 shit for the first minute.

[k0k0]

I want to see killer elite, but don't feel like paying 12 dollars to see a movie in the theater. It looks really good though. I like the part in the trailer where a guy is tied to a chair and beats up on someone with the chair that is tied to him. Then he jumps out of a window while tied to the chair. Just following that scene is "Based on a true story", which makes me laugh so much every time I see it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Yeah, that had me cracking up too

[dextire]

Disney's Halloween Treat. I watch this one every year. :halloween2

[Krythor]

I watched Death Wish 3, it was great.

I also watched The Muppet Movie. So good until Mel Brooks turns up and grinds everything to a halt.

[Aaarg]

the house on skull mountain
it had a lot going for it in the beginning with the drums and the title/credits but then it just kept getting more boring as it continued. shame.

[Krythor]

I watched the documentary Kubrick's Odyssey - Secrets Hidden in the Films of Stanley Kubrick by Jay Weidner. It's basically Jay Weidner arguing that Kubrick faked the moon landings and that The Shining was his way of confessing it subliminally. It sounds like bollocks, but when you actually see it it's quite convincing. I've always hated conspiracy theories but I think I believe this one. :/

[Fathom Zero]

Which moon landings? The ones that the recent satellites took pictures of with things like the flags, footprints, and landing sites?

It's always been a massive rub to me when people draw their own conclusions into something by reading too far into things.

Love Kubrick, though - he's probably the reason why I do photography.

[Krythor]

Well his argument is that they did go to the moon, but that the televised versions were fakes. Not that the moon landings just didn't happen.

Anyway, like I said, I already have deep shame and self loathing about my belief and am not going to push it on anyone. Watch it if you can, it's easily available torrented. Even if you don't believe it, The Shining analysis is excellent.

[Krythor]

I should point out as well that the part where he tries to analyse the moon landing photos is easily the worst part. And there are another two follow up films about the rest of Kubrick's work scheduled for 2012 and 2013.

[Fathom Zero]

I'M NOT TRYING TO PROSECUTE YOU OR MAKE YOU FEEL BAD FOR LIKING SOMETHING. :tear

And that person sounds like has something of an obsession. I'll check it out - I haven't seen a decent documentary in ages.

[Krythor]

Be warned: the quality is of a good youtube video, and he has a terrible way with words. E.g, at one point he says "The Shining is Kubrick's masterpiece. However, I use the word masterpiece lightly, as I do not actually like the film." There are a few more ridiculous lines like that in it. But it's still interesting.

Oh God, I've opened a pandora's box of humiliation that's too late to close. :lol

[Fathom Zero]

Don't worry. If it's bad, I'll be back in a decent enough time to give you the sound beating you justly deserve.

[MarioRPG]

I didn't watch the whole thing, but still enjoyed the parts I saw. I've seen it before and of course had to see my favourite scene.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I started watching Hamlet 2. Almost shut if off after 10 minutes....then ended up shutting it off after 20 minutes.

[dextire]

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Imock%20misc/demon-wind-vhs.jpg

Demon Wind! This movie is awesome!
It's filled with so many WTF moments that you would absolutely hate this film if you didn't just enjoy the 80's goodness. :halloween2

A few gems from the film that are never explained or addressed: a dropped snow-globe causes the whole house to explode; a journal says the hero must find 7 daggers in order to defeat the ultimate evil (two of the daggers are already collected), never happens; the hero turns into an elf-thing for no reason. :halloween

[Kitsa]

The Infidel. It was good, but it wasn't as riotously funny as I thought it would be.

It's about a British Muslim who, although he's personally "relaxed" in his own religious observations, still hits all of the big requirements and is quite anti-Semitic. While he's cleaning out his recently deceased mom's house, he finds some paperwork and discovers he's adopted. A visit to the agency reveals that he's in fact....wait for it....Jewish! Now he's got to reconcile that with various anti-Semitic pressures he's experiencing. For example, his son wants to marry the daughter of a controversial cleric and he's expected to put on an extra-pious front until the blessing's obtained.

There were a lot of funny parts and I think the overall message has value in the whole let's-hug-it-out sense, but I was confused sometimes. As soon as the guy figures out he's Jewish by birth, he seems to be completely engulfed by the burning desire to out himself one way or another. There was no "hm, that's interesting, but I'm this now and I'm going to get on with my life". He did the very un-Jewish thing of loudly proclaiming- literally yelling- how Jewish he was at every opportunity, and then randomly going out of his way to completely reverse and conceal it. There were a few other iffy plot points, but this was a big thing throughout.

[Aaarg]

dude, demon wind looks awesome. is it online somewhere?


a zed and two noughts
this movie was weird. not coherent enough to be good. some bits were funny, though. also, it got "the teddy bears' picnic" stuck in my head for a few days.

the verdict
paul newman in a 2-hour episode of "the practice," basically. i liked it. made me miss watching law & order.

wheels on meals
jackie chan, sammo hung, yuen biao. not one of their best, but entertaining enough.

network
now i know where "i'm mad as hell and i'm not going to take it anymore" originated. i expected more from this movie - i liked where it was going, at the beginning, and then it just spent the last 90 minutes being boring.

they call me MISTER tibbs
sidney poitier as virgil tibbs is somehow always entertaining. i don't even know why. sidney poitier makes silly, awful movies... but i like them.

the favor, the watch, and the really big fish
this was on the netflix queue because it has jeff goldblum in it. silly movie, otherwise. i don't really get what they were going for.

mid-august lunch
some old italian guy babysits a bunch of other old italian guys' mothers. totally silly, but kind of funny.

contract killer
people love jet li, but i just don't get it. he does some neat-o jumps and stuff, but he's no jackie chan.

[Fathom Zero]

Do they have that Jeff Goldblum mockumentary about Pittsburgh on Netflix? I can't check right now.

[Kitsa]

DVD only.

[Fathom Zero]

WELL SHIT. Looks like I'm going to pirate it, perhaps. PHYSICAL MEDIA IS DEAD, MAAAN

[Aaarg]

fuck that as a result of this upcoming netflix split, we're ditching netflix and keeping "qwikster"

though we'll probably refer to it as netflix still, because... qwikster.

[Kitsa]

qwikster sounds like a chocolate milk delivery service

btw when I was a kid we actually had a milkman. He was a Jehovah's Witness and left Watchtowers in the milk box :themoreyouknow

[Fathom Zero]

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2263/quicksterbypedobear45.jpg

The only Quickster I care about.

Although the fact that they're adding game rentals is rather cool. Perhaps they'll take a bit of the marketshare from the shit Gamefly.

[k0k0]

I had a milk man too! He didn't leave us shit like that. I think it was because my dad was filthy rich at the time and we lived in a really high class neighborhood that we had a milk dude.

[Kitsa]

I still use the milkbox. The neighborhood kids are always trying to bum art supplies off me, so I keep it stocked with chalk and stuff like that. They know when they're finished it has to go back in the box, and they can draw on my driveway if they want. It keeps them from being little shits in other ways.

When they come to the door and ask if i want to be a Jehova's Witness i tell them 'sorry, I didn't see the accident'

[Kitsa]

pickle.

[Dimnos]

I like to tell them Im house sitting for some friends at the moment but that I would love to hear what they have to say at a later time. I then give the name and address of one of my friends and ask them to come by later.

[darkvare]

i watched real steel is actually very good i'm suprised in a very good way

[dextire]

dude, demon wind looks awesome. is it online somewhere?

Sorry, not that I know of. I own it on an old VHS as there is no US DVD available right now.
But I would definitely recommend tracking it down by any means necessary. :halloween2

Demon Wind and Dead Dudes in the House are my two favorite "hidden gems" that I've found on my own.

[executioneer]

demon wind is on demon oid, i just checked

unless it's a different demon wind

[dextire]

Yep, that's the one!

[Vyvyan Basterd]

watching xmen first class. Having a gruling hard on.

[Rongi]

The last movie i saw was Passione, a documentary on the music of Naples, Italy. Unsurprisingly, the music of Naples is pretty negligible.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finished watching first xmen first class

[Ex Leper]

Howling 3: The Marsupials: Awesomely horrible.

[Aaarg]

dragons forever
chan/hung/biao, awesome. though i think the best scene is in the beginning when jackie chan (a defense attorney!) wins a case and his client goes to shake his hand and jackie punches him in the gut and then the face. the judge, on his way out of the courtroom, looks at jackie and shakes his head. awesome.

tiger cage
all right if you watch a movie because it has jackie chan in it and nothing else, you're usually going to be entertained. if you watch a movie because it has donnie yen in it and nothing else, fuck this shitty fucking movie.

the legend of zu
netflix has this mis-labeled as zu warriors from the magic mountain. this is the shitty re-make of zu warriors from the magic mountain. we got 20 minutes in before turning it off. fuck you, netflix.

Howling 3: The Marsupials: Awesomely horrible.

man, that's my go-to shitty dvd that i make people watch with me. i've seen it way too many times.

i'm naming my second child jerboa jerboa (the first child is aram fingal (RIP raul julia)).

[Ex Leper]

I have the Thorn VHS myself. Recently started collecting tapes.

[Aaarg]

oh god, vhs. my girlfriend refuses to get rid of her vhs collection because then she will no longer own a copy of leonard part 6. and then she changes the subject if i say "why don't you just keep a few and get rid of the rest?"

because really why would you hold on to a ninja scroll tape? legend (starring tom cruise!)? come on.

[k0k0]

Let her keep her VHS's man. I can relate. I have a bunch of my old vhs movies and have had girlfriends try and throw them out. But I still got them.

[Dimnos]

Buy one of those vhs dvd burner things.

[dextire]

But if you do that, you lose the awesome VHS covers. :halloween2

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Imock%20misc/ghostriders.jpg

[Aaarg]

haha, i can't make her get rid of anything.

but i'm not even suggesting get rid of anything worth keeping. don't get rid of the ed wood box set or leonard pt 6 or whatever.

i'm saying get rid of the copies of shit she doesn't even like. things other people handed over when they needed to offload their vhs cassettes onto somebody else. garden state (they still made vhs that late?!) and ferris bueller and whatever else?

we already have an overloaded dvd bookshelf!
http://klimp.dk/glown/bvb.jpg

[k0k0]

Create an overloaded vhs shelf in her honor. I may be speaking to you as kind of a pack rat, but forcing someone to get rid of something that they'd like to keep is something they'll eventually hate you for. I know I hated my ex for making me get rid of some of my jurassic park toy collection. Sure they looked like duplicates but they weren't! They had a different card that came with them and they were painted differently. Fucking bitch.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Aarg, I figured you would find this amuzing.

Get home from work, police and ambulance coming out of the blind neighbors house. Thought he fell or something. Turns out the blind neighbor ended up getting into a fight with his brother and stabbed him.

I was all like "I didn't know Zatoichi lived next door."

No one else got it

[Fathom Zero]

:lol

That's the dumbest joke ever

[Fathom Zero]

I'm going to watch the Quiet Earth shortly. I'm very excited.

[dextire]

I'm sure he just stabbed him in a blind fury.

Watched the Night of the Demons remake again this year. Still pretty impressed with it.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/nocostume.jpg

[Aaarg]

k0ke, i'm not forcing anybody to do anything! haha.

also sweet @ zatoichi references. we constantly reference everything and nobody else would get it. we must be the most boring couple ever. zatoichi usually comes up when she says "i'm so itchy" because i say "zat-so-itchy?" because i'm a big fat d0rk.

also night of demons remake? awful! for the first half of that movie i was like "that dude looks like fat, unemployed edward furlong" before finally realizing "that is fat, unemployed edward furlong!"

and redoing the bauhaus scene with type o negative is awful. i love type o negative, don't get me wrong, but man!

(however during the extended party scenes my girlfriend made the comment "is the soundtrack to this just punk-o-rama 3?" i had to correct her, because "code blue" was actually on punk-o-rama 2)

[dextire]

Scream 4. If you're a fan of the series, this is one of the best (aside from the annoying opening sequence). :halloween2

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Did a netflix instant search for rent and I spit on your grave came up instead.

pretty much the same movie.

[Ninjavenom]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101420/

God disembowels himself with a straight razor. The spirit-like Mother Earth emerges, venturing into a bleak, barren landscape. Twitching and cowering, the Son Of Earth is set upon by faceless cannibals.

This shit was pretty wild. DO NOT watch this while high.

[Fathom Zero]

That's one of my favorite movies ever. Most if not all of it's on the internet.

[All Hail Duke]

best worst movie

pretty good/funny considering it's about troll 2

[Kitsa]

Inside Deep Throat. It was entertaining, I guess. Sort of sucks how the money was sort of mafia'ed up and the director/stars never saw any of it.

I read Ordeal and the part with Sammy Davis Junior and Linda Lovelace's husband really threw me. Never looked at that guy the same way again :jokesetup

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I actually liked that too.

I forget but there's another terribad action movie that's getting remade. Hell, probably twenty of them are and I just don't know it.

Nothing but trouble was such a horrible movie. I had to see it again recently just to see if I was remembering it as horrible or if it actually was.

[dextire]

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth. My personal favorite of the series. :halloween2
I love the idea of Pinhead's past self battling the present version.

all right so i've mostly been watching law and order: criminal intent because netflix has like 9 seasons on instant (fuckers)

but the other night i watched a chinese ghost story ii, which is awesome.

part 6 tonight..jason lives:lurker
the best in the series

[Aaarg]

LOL U BLEW UP THEM LURKERS!

[Pentegarn]

What's up with this Halloween3 dude? Sophisticated spambot? Hyperactive 12 year old who can't lay off the emoticons? I am not sure, but I can't see it ending well for him if he continues like this

[Krythor]

I sort of miss when the internet was basically all posts like his.

[darkvare]

oh internet, why did you grew up?

[k0k0]

I remember I had a webpage dedicated to The Critic when I was 11 years old. It stinked! (yes I know, stunk doesn't work though)

[Aaarg]

have you watched the critic since then? it sure isn't as funny as when you were 11. :(


also, i finally saw dawn of the dead. much better than i expected. i don't like zombie movies.

[All Hail Duke]

i love the critic to this day

which dawn of the dead?

watched american werewolf and return of the living dead last night to start a mini horror marathon

[k0k0]

I downloaded all the episodes of the critic and watched them through recently. They aren't as funny, but I still love them a lot.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Have you seen any of the new Critic episodes? I heard they were funny but never bothered to watch them.

I might have pink eye and the halloween 3 guy just made it worse.

[Aaarg]

w/e fuck y'all it wasn't as funny as when i was 11 then!!!!!!

also the original. i usually shy away from horror films made after, like 97

[All Hail Duke]

watching that and the og TCM tonight

as for avoiding modern horror, wise move since it's all torture porn and shitty remakes

although House of the Devil was pretty good, but then again i have an odd fascination w/ Tom Noonan...

[King Hadas]

Robocop 2. I don't understand why people always shit on this movie. I've avoided watching it because of it's reputation but that was a mistake, it's fantastic.

Leviathan. Another Peter Weller movie I watched recently. The first half where they're introducing the characters and the setting are pretty good but the second half with the monster is terrible.

Rewatching Jacob's Ladder right now. Completely fucking forgot about the creepy subway people in the beginning. Gaaaah.

Know what movie is way more depressing than I ever remembered?

Jacob's Ladder :(

Anything that vaguely resembles John Carpenters The Thing is awesome in my book! (Aside from the prequel...)

You watched it on Netflix didn't you?

[Mad Melvin]

Watched a couple of horror movies.

Scream 4

OH LOOKIE HERE HOW WE MAKE FUN OF OURSELVES AND THE PREVIOUS MOVIES BUT WITH A FRESH NEW TWIST WHERE WE ARE BASHING MODERN HORROR MOVIES BUT IRONICALLY BECAUSE THIS MOVIE IS ALSO A MODERN HORROR MOVIE! AREN'T WE WITTY?!

So yeah, didn't like it. Seemed like a horror movie made for hipsters. And what the hell is wrong with Courtney Cox's face? Looks like an emotionless blob of shiny plastic.


John Carpenter's The Ward

Ghosts of Mars was a putrid piece of a turd and I thought Carpenter gave up directing altogether because of how bad it was. Suffice to say, I was very interested to see what made him come out of retirement.

A below average horror movie with a twist, apparently. Couple of nice scares, but you pretty much see every "BOO!" moment coming from miles away. Suprisingly, I didn't guess the twist ending so thats a plus. Worth a watch, but very forgettable. Shame.

[kahljorn]

I like ghosts of mars :(

[Mad Melvin]

That is why you don't have nice things.

[All Hail Duke]

texas chainsaw massacre, ed wood and pee-wee's big adventure
(i don't need to rate them since you should already know how good they are)

the hitcher will be on later and i'll be watching that as well

I no longer trust your judgement, mad melvin.

THANK YOU. People shit on it because they never really understood that movies about a cyborg cop fighting crime in future Detroit are inherently kind of, you know, goofy and fun as hell. Fuck the third one, though >: ninja "robots" played by one actor, my ass

Leviathan. Another Peter Weller movie I watched recently. The first half where they're introducing the characters and the setting are pretty good but the second half with the monster is terrible.
Z3QJtzFy7Rg

Fuck yeah, that movie was so goddamned boring in the second half. I had more fun watching that steaming pile Deepstar Six, for God's sake. Though I LOVED their ingenious plan of getting rid of the water breathing aquatic monster living-mutant-corpse killerbeast by putting it in a body bag and, you know, putting it in the water. AND IT WORKS. awesome

I disagree.

[Pentegarn]

I just rented 2 vids. Limitless and The Conspirator, and as a rare treat I enjoyed both

Limitless was a decent flick about a guy who samples this drug that opens up the human mind to 100% functionality. Everything you ever experienced is now accessable, none of this psychic or telekinesis bullcrap that people think would happen if you had 100% brain use. Just good old fashioned firing on all cylinders. He ends up with the bulk of all that is left of the drug. With his ability to comprehend, intake, and plan enhanced exponentially, he soon becomes a wizard of wall street. But soon others covet the drug and problems arise as his supply dwindles. I liked that the ending was not what I was expecting, but not in a dumb Shamalamadingdong way, in more of a clever way where the obvious ending was not where they went.


The Conspirator is a bit of Historical dramatization of the Mary Surratt trial. An interesting flick, with some decent performances. If you dig historical movies, give it a shot.

[kahljorn]

if he had 100% brain power why didnt he just make more of the drug

[Pentegarn]

He did, and then he did something even more clever

[Aaarg]

became a medicine man

[Pentegarn]

I think his name is Mother Shebooboo now

[Mad Melvin]

In Bruges

I have always disliked Colin Farrell, so thats the main reason I hadn't seen this one. I was bored, so I decided to give it a chance, since i've heard some praise for it.

Holy shit. I just can't believe how awesome it was. It was funny, original and extremely well paced. If you enjoyed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, you'll propably enjoy this one too.

[Aaarg]

yeah, i was totally surprised by that movie.

[Ex Leper]

Kevin Smith: 2 Fat for 40.

[Kitsa]

I watched that not long ago. I've gotta say, the guy is amiable. I grew up with Kevin Smith movies and associate a lot of warm fuzzies with them. Every time I went to his store in Red Bank, Walt Flanagan was at the checkout.

Slate just did an article (http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/movies/2011/11/kevin_smith_s_career_reviewed_.html) on him and has some good points, though.

[Dimnos]

You grew up in the 90s?

[Kitsa]

I was born in 77, so Clerks hit right around my junior year of high school.

[Kitsa]

Red State. As I said previously, lots of warm fuzzies for Kevin Smith but what a fucking mess.

[Pentegarn]

That's the one where he invited the Westboro Baptist Church to the premier of, gave them about 20 tickets, and about 10 minutes into it they all left because it was 'too dirty'. Smith said he wasn't upset that they left, he was upset that they left before they could see his WBC scene

[Kitsa]

Yeah. Well, I mean I think I caught all of the major themes and most of the minor ones. ("Which is scarier, the religious nutjobs or the government", "People do crazy things for authority figures", "Won't someone please think of the children", etc)

Although Michael Parks is fantastic and this was right up his character-actor alley, I thought that some of his sermons, particularly the big opener, ran a bit long. There was always either too much exposition, or too little of it. There were some timeline jumps, like going from John Goodman eating his breakfast and us finding out what the fuck he had to do with anything, to John Goodman standing outside the compound with a full raid team. I thought that really messed with the smoothness and continuity of the film.

I did enjoy the lady from Mr. Rogers yelling "Cocksucker!" out the window just before she went down in a hail of bullets, though. I did enjoy that.


The special effects were great for the budget he had, but the shakycam. I hate the shakycam so much.

[Aaarg]

MAKAI TENSHO: SAMURAI REINCARNATION was a major disappointment. i don't know what i was so excited about the trailer isn't particularly good. the movie took itself a bit too seriously for what it was. i like the idea (dead warriors reborn as devils and killing the shogunate), but it was pretty boring.

BLACK MAGIC is pretty great. almost anything that starts with the shaw brothers opening is going to be pretty great, so whatever.

[Ex Leper]

Patrice O'Neal: "Elephant in the Room". One of the funniest comedians I've seen in a while. I hope he recovers from the stroke he had recently.

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes

I actually really enjoyed this one. On paper this seems like a totally pointless sequel (or prequel) and I was expecting some mindless CGI-action with bland characters. I'm glad I was wrong. I was amazed at how "human" the ape character was, considering that it was all cgi and with no dialogue. The scenes between John Lithgow and James Franco were also quite touching.

I dunno, I just really liked this one. I got the same warm fuzzy feeling I got when I first saw Jurassic Park when it came out. This is not a masterpiece by any means, but as far as blockbusters go, this is one of the more entertaining ones i've seen.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Donnie Darko, American Beauty, and In Bruges recently as well. American Beauty I think tops all of those if I had to pick all that I've seen within the month.

[dextire]

War Bus 2. Cheesy 80s Italian movie where an "American" infiltrates Afghanistan in order to steal a school bus. No, really, this movie exists. :)

[Mad Melvin]

Drive

It was the best new movie i've seen in a while. Loved it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I really want to see the new muppets movie

[Krythor]

I don't. Maybe it's just because I hate Jason Segel, but I hate that he's written it and got his mug in it. It just seems like a vanity project. "I can die knowing that I made a Muppets film." I WANT TO BE SICK EVERYWHERE.

[Fathom Zero]

He just really likes the Muppets. He's a superfan.

[k0k0]

Even some of the people who voice the muppets refused to do it because the of some of the things in the script weren't in the spirit of what they would do.

[All Hail Duke]

full metal jacket was on, so i watched it

pretty good, kinda eerie

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

good movie, awful dubs

[kahljorn]

that's a trilogy :O

there's two more after that

[Kitsa]

rewatched the second half of Apocalypto. Forgot how good it was. Mel Gibson is total batshit insane but he makes a pretty movie.

[Fathom Zero]

I like to forget about the next two and pretend it's just one movie. The others are like made-for-TV abortions.

[All Hail Duke]

i've been told that the other two are total pants, but i'm gonna sit through them anyway

[Kitsa]

A documentary on Mildred Fish-Harnack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildred_Harnack). She's the only American woman executed under express order of Hitler. She really pissed him off.

[kahljorn]

i liked all of them

[Zhukov]

I watched some French film about art and love. It was good, but excruciatingly boring - luckily for me my friend's sister was having loud sex in the room next door.

[monicat]

One day... not that excited about it, but maybe it's just me being too sarcastic.

[Aaarg]

night of the living dead - great
return of the living dead - silly
duck you sucker/a fistful of dynamite - too damn long

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

^ Love Return of the living dead trilogy, 2nd one is my favorite though.

I started watching duck you sucker as well but got disinterested.

Starting watching season of the witch. Nicholas cage hasn't been set on fire yet but theres still half of a movie to go.

[Aaarg]

we'll probably watch the others someday, as we're prone to do that.

man, know what's an awesome trilogy that gets better as it progresses? it's alive.

duck you sucker gets less interesting as it goes along, to be honest. after a while the plot gets boring and the awful accents get increasingly hard to swallow.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

return of the living dead 2 is kind of silly but also amazingly awesome. its got all the same actors playing pretty much the same characters from the first one.

I watched the Its alive movies when I was real young(maybe 10) and they kind of creeped me out. Haven't seen them since though.

[Aaarg]

aw, lame, i didn't like any of the characters in the first one! i liked the split dogs and the butterfly specimens and i think the highlight of the movie was when they pierced the cadaver's head with the pick ax and it didn't kill him and the kid was like "THE MOVIE LIED?!?" i laughed way more than i should have, at that.

it's alive is great. the second one is all right. the third one is the most over-the-top and it has michael moriarty and he's great (as seen in THE STUFF (just can't get enough (of the stuff))) and also the ending is the best.
an evil baby survives, for the only time in the series.

but there was a remake a few years ago and it's atrocious. really. and it sort of gets this anti-abortion vibe as it progresses. and it's just bad.

Maybe the punk rockers aren't in it. I think maybe just the two starting cast from part 1 and then the crematory guy.

[All Hail Duke]

pretty much, i guess
there's also a returning cast member as the michael jackson zombie near the end

[All Hail Duke]

watched a christmas story for the hundreth or so time

[executioneer]

why

[Kitsa]

Watched Hangover 2. Not as funny.

Sometimes I forgot that I wasn't watching Due Date.

[All Hail Duke]

the expendables
what a piece of shit

[Krythor]

I watched Batman: Year One. What a stinker. I've said it before and I'll say it again: why does all American animation have to look like anime now? It's not even as if they're taking inspiration from anime and using a few similar techniques, they're actually trying to make it look Japanese. I picture directors standing over the animator's shoulders saying, "it's not stiff and awkward enough yet, make it look more Japanese." Alot of the style of anime is down to Japanese animation studios producing more material on a smaller budget than their American counterparts and therefore having to cut corners with generic designs, recycled shots, stiff action and one syllable mouths. And everyone wants to copy it? Pathetic.

I've been watching Batman: The Animated Series this week too and it's astonishing that it's now almost 20 years old and had more character, style and substance to the animation than this horrendous piece of garbage Batman: Year One.

I've read alot of criticism about the voice acting. I didn't think it was that bad.

[Lone Wanderer]

Tomorrow Never Dies I never noticed till now how over-the-top Johnathan Pryce was in this movie. Not much of a Bond film IMO, if the film had came out in 2002 it might've been more relevant with its message of global media.

[Krythor]

I remember thinking when that came out how ridiculous the storyline was, but you're right, as time has gone on it's become better. If some of the more ludicrous aspects like the guy owning a stealth boat were dialled down it would probably make a good Daniel Craig film. I really like the opening scene at the arms fair.

I used to always think Goldeneye was the best of the Brosnan movies. I watched it recently though and it's weird how everything about it on paper sounds great but is executed so poorly. I feel sorry for Brosnan, being one of the best Bonds in the worst Bond movies.

[Fathom Zero]

I really really really really really really like Goldeneye. It's second only to Goldfinger, for me. Diamonds Are Forever brings up the tail end.

And The Living Daylights is really good, too. The rest of the movies involving Blofeld are good, as well.

[Mad Melvin]

The Thing (2011)

Not as bad as I expected. I kinda liked it, actually. It wasn't that good of a movie plotwise and there was pretty much zero characted developement, but I really like the fact that they made this movie with the utmost respect for the original. It ties really well to the things we see in the norwegian camp in the John Carpenter's version. The special effects were pretty good and the movie was entertaining from beginning to end. The thing that sucks the most about this film, is the pacing. It was too damn hectic. There was no time to develop any of the characters and it really puts a dent on the tension and atmosphere when you parade the alien on screen just after 20 minutes. I'm really hoping for a director's cut version.

[Krythor]

I read somewhere that Blofeld is rumoured to be the villain in the new one that's coming out. I don't know if that's true or not but I hope so. They better include the cat.

[Fathom Zero]

I just love that villain archetype and he's the epitome of it. I'd probably see the next one if that were so.

[Ex Leper]

Toy Story 3: Very depressing

[Dimnos]

I read somewhere that Blofeld is rumoured to be the villain in the new one that's coming out. I don't know if that's true or not but I hope so. They better include the cat.

I hadn't heard anything about Blofeld, but I heard they were getting one of the old bond actors to play the new bad guy.

[executioneer]

i saw the new muppet movie it was pretty good!!!!!

[Dimnos]

I see my man Dr Teeth in all the commercials. Is he in the movie as much?

[Pentegarn]

He is in it quite a bit actually yeah. They covered all of the Muppets remarkably well.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

How much screen time did Foozie get?

[executioneer]

a bunch!

[Kitsa]

I'm a little curious about Darkest Hour but probably not enough to go see it in a theater.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

a bunch!

Does he talk all gangster too?

wait now i'm confused

WOKKA WOKKA YOU DUMB BITCHES.

Foozie is the gangster fozzie.

i didn't knew fozzie was a gangaster i guess is one of thosse things that go missing in translation

oh i forgot about that dude :( he has almost no time on screen i thought you had just typoed

I see my man Dr Teeth in all the commercials. Is he in the movie as much?

Jason Segal puppeteered (?) both Dr. Teeth and Animal, by the way.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I watched 12 dates of christmas abc movie last night.

It was like made for tv lady groundhogs day.
Minus side it had no Bill Murray.
Plus side it had Mark Paul Gosselar in it and no the lady that looks like elaine from seinfeld in it.

I will be happy long as there are no cage-dancing muppets like in the 2002 TV Special.

Norm Macdonald's new stand up. It was hilarious.

Kimjongilia. It's on Netflix.

Really liked it but could have done without the interpretive dance.

I realize you're not joking, but you still made me :lol.

Sherlock Holmes 2, and apparently he and Watson are kung fu martial arts masters. Pretty sure thats not book accurate, but whatever, it was alright. And ladies: come for the Jude Law, stay for the naked Stephen Fry.

I got Cowboys vs Aliens for Christmas. I liked it.
At least the Aliens were actually bad guys instead of just misunderstood.

[dextire]

Starship Troopers and Starship Troopers 2 back-to-back.
I knew the second was going to be bad, but it's absolutely terrible. :lol
It did have The Sentinel in it though.

Did they wear bandito masks too? I still want to see this.

Sorry, no bandito mask wearing on the aliens part. Although...
There are bandits. And Indians. And a riverboat.
If you think you'll like it after watching the trailer, you'll definitely like it. :)

James Bond + Indiana Jones fighting aliens fits right in for me. Going to add it to my list.

leonard part 6 - timeless stupid comedy
snake in eagle's shadow - awesome
hellraiser - sweeeeet
hellraiser 2 - sweeeeeeeet
hellraiser 3 - ok
a very long engagement - not as entertaining as his other films, but better than i expected anyway
arsenic & old lace - p. funny though i don't really like clark gable
chinatown - i don't really get why this one is so loved
amadeus - same goes for this one
executioners - the sequel to the heroic trio. worse than the original? i don't remember. crap.
bonnie & clyde - all right. faye dunaway has this weird thing where she's really pretty from some angles but not so much others

[kahljorn]

did you notice that the first star troopers has the cop from psyche in it for like 30 seconds

[dextire]

arsenic & old lace - p. funny though i don't really like clark gable

I don't even remember Clark Gable being in it. I think it's Cary Grant's best movie though.

did you notice that the first star troopers has the cop from psyche in it for like 30 seconds
Yeah, but if he hadn't spoken I wouldn't of even realized it. :)

La Haine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAxWdDzGZDU). Hadn't seen it in ages, and it's still awesome. I saw it in an entirely different light this time around, though.

all right i don't really like cary grant then haha

[MailCall]

Sherlock Holmes: Game Of Shadows and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Both films made me laugh.

Stranger Than Fiction

It was pretty good, actually. Original idea and Will Ferrell was ok in a more serious role.


The Departed

It's been a couple of years since I last saw this. I think I liked it even more than I did the first time. Good movie and Mark Wahlberg's character was still pretty funny. The only thing that stood out as a negative was Jack Nicholson's irish accent. It was horribly fake.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

To me Mark Walhberg can do anything and I'd prob watch it.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

I Heart Huckabee's was awesome. Cowboys and Aliens is the fucking shit, go see it.

Anyone ever heard of The Music Never Stopped? J.K. Simmons is the lead in it. It really the only movie I've seen that I could really call "the happiest/saddest movie ever". Really, really good flick.

Chronicle. I'd suggest it is a must see.

Not really a spoiler, but there was one moment in the movie where I yelled "Oh My God!" and I never do that. I was expecting snarky looks from my fellow moviegoers, yet most of them said much the same thing.

[Mad Melvin]

Not really a movie, but I watched Terry Pratchett's documentary "Choosing to die". :tear

It was really hard to watch and I never want to see it again. Still, it was an important documentary and everyone should see it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Parts of the King of Fighters movie. I don't want to partially watch it again but I do want to know why people were shooting lightning at other people.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I loved the lorax growing up, when they made horton hears a who I was hoping they would eventully do the lorax. The lorax was announced a while ago but I just found out Danny Devito was playing him. <3

Thor was the last movie which I have seen in theaters.......

[Zhukov]

Just saw a WWII movie from the 70s called Cross of Iron. It was Germans on the Eastern front, in English language. Pretty much sucked.

Boring, plenty of cliches and historical inaccuracies, and it had a very underwhelming ending. Somebody told me to watch it, as it was supposedly a classic.

One of the characters was casually talking about how tough it was in the encirclement of Stalingrad... despite everyone who survived being a POW until at least the 1950s. That really annoyed me.

[Mad Melvin]

Samurai Cop (1989)

It was awesome. Nothing in this movie worked. The acting was godawful, the plot made little sense, the dialogue was very odd and there were unnecessary sex scenes just to show boobs to the audience.
