I saw "That's My Boy".

I hope Adam Sandler isn't actually making money on any of these shit ass movies. I'm sure he is though.

[Nick]

From the looks of the box office returns it seems they've been losing money on most of these films, That's My Boy included. Too bad they make it all back when they put a decent film out.

[Ex Leper]

I think Adam is bitter. You can tell he's aware that his movies post Waterboy (earlier for some) have all been garbage, he even makes fun of himself in Funny People. I believe he wants to do more serious movies like Punch Drunk Love but when he tries no-one sees them, so he's been making his comedies as shitty as possible out of spite knowing he will still make money off of stupid people. As for Happy Madison films staring his friends I guess he's just trying to get his friends money without working hard.

[dextire]

Halloween 3 and House 2.
These films made great back-to-back features. I think that's how I'll watch them from now on. :halloween2

[darkvare]

go see looper people pretty damn good

[Aaarg]

troll: awful/great. michael moriarty in a mid-80s horror movie? count me in. oh, his name is harry potter? even fucking better. a monster that turns apartments into forests? sounds good to me.

pink ribbon$, inc.: interesting premise for a documentary. it was ok, as docs go.

jim gaffigan - mr universe: not a movie but w/e. i like that he basically still does hot pocket jokes but they're about mcdonald's french fries and something else i forget already. ten minutes on gym jokes? come on, dude, get some new material.

mst3k - final justice: 90 minutes of fat/food jokes. sounds good to me.

[Aaarg]

lone wolf & cub: sword of vengeance - sweeeeeeeeeeet. i anticipate seeing the rest of the series.

[Kitsa]

Ex-leper, your avatar totally brought me back to when I was a confused kid wondering if he was saying it keeps your la-BOR-a-tory... or la-VOR-a-tory clean. I couldn't differentiate accent from pun.

[Tadao]

What? You have never seen any lone wolf and cub? That's odd

[Aaarg]

i know. wtf is wrong with me?

[Tadao]

What ever you do, don't watch Shogun Assassin :(

[Aaarg]

yeah, wasn't planning on it.

i will watch all the lw&c movies eventually, though.

apparently people don't like the last one because it has magic in it?

fuckin' sweet.

[Tadao]

Dude it was full of blood on snow. Shit was awesome. It's been a while so I don't remember the magic part. Let me google it. Hmm I guess it does, I probably didn't car because I'm used to supernatural ninja movies. :(

[Tadao]

AN HERE IS ANOTHER GRIPE I HAVE

Why the fuck is Lucy Liu being cast again in what might be a great Tarantino kung fu movie? I really hate that cross eyed chink.

[Aaarg]

dude i wasn't being sarcastic about magic. sorcery/black magic/demons/vampires in asian movies is awesome.

[Tadao]

I didn't think you were lol

[Tadao]

I want to watch Prometheus, The Raven and Dark Shadows this weekend, but I'm not really in the mood. :(

[Dimnos]

BUT QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED!

[Zomboid]

Blood on snow is one of my favorite images :creep.

[Tadao]

Well if you like that you will like all 6 movies. Maybe the later ones the most.

So I'm watching Repo Man and actually paying attention. I always shunned it because I'm too punk for commercialism. Now I see Ralphs blue label bran stuff all over the place and it is killing me. I used to drink Ralphs BEER and always wanted a Ralphs TSHIRT but never had the money. :lol

I recently broke down and ordered pixote off of amazon. Worth every penny.

[Kitsa]

King Lear, PBS version.

[Dimnos]

all of these people...

Fuck netflix for not having this online.

[Aaarg]

^ true that ^


so i finally broke down and watched troll 2 last night. i wouldn't say best worst movie but goddammit, it's nice to see those community college drama courses worked out well for some people

we need time for some things to happen

[Aaarg]

also i watched
TELSTAR: the joe meek story
or whatever

because joe meek has always been mildly interesting to me and i like that somebody made a film about him

the movie was junk

played out like a regular boring music biopic like walk the line or great balls of fire and blah blah blah. joe meek was crazy enough to make an entertaining movie about!

also the end was bullshit. you're trying to tell me that he accidentally killed his landlady? nah.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

^ true that ^

Tried watching this at a dinner party two weeks ago and everyone else wanted to shut it off.

From what I've seen my favorite part was when the dad takes off his belt and it looks like he's going to belt his son. Then he yells something about indigestion.

[Kitsa]

I watched like the last 10 mins of The Social Network last night while waiting for Sunny to start and that just looked like a horrible fucking time, I now know I never want to sit through the whole thing.

[Krythor]

You just have all around bad taste Kitsa.

[Babs]

Just watched The Master for a second time, it has solidified it's place as my new all time favorite P.T. Anderson film. The movie is shot on 70mm so you get pristine detail in the shots while having that depth and feel of 35mm. Johnny Greenwood (guitarist of Radiohead) provides his second score to an Anderson film that goes deeply hand and hand with the films visuals, adding a rich but dark aide to the emotion bestowed in what I consider P.T. Andersons' masterpiece. Alongside with powerhouse performances from Joaquin Phoenix (Freddie Quell) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (Lancaster Dodd) and breath taking photography and scenery, The Master transcends the audience with visuals and the raw fear in all of us, the longing of something/someone to follow. The movie deals with the existential restlessness, such as Freddie finding himself with a "self-improving" movement (loosely based of Scientology, mostly the roots) which has dubbed themselves "The Cause". It's not even much a relevancy that The Cause is even being connected to Scientology or any other type of cult, it acts more of a vessel to compel the meaning that everyone faces within themselves that we all have a longing for a "master", someone/thing to follow and abide by. I just can not get over some of the dialog, e.g. “Freddy. Sailor of the seas. You pay no rent. Free to go where you please. Then go. Go to that landless latitude. And good luck. For if you figure a way to live without serving a Master, any Master, then let the rest of us know, will you? For you’d be the first person in the history of the world.” Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The most beautiful thing to ever be shot to celluloid.

[kahljorn]

so The Master is a good movie?

[darkvare]

dredd violence rules so i'm gonna go watch it again tomorrow and maybe looper too

[Babs]

so The Master is a good movie?

I'm forgainst it.

[Mad Melvin]

Can't wait to see it. There Will Be Blood and Magnolia are among the best movies i've ever seen.

[Aaarg]

i watched plan 9 (on vhs) and then ed wood. also probably something else that has nothing to do with anything but i forget.

[Kitsa]

Bad taste, yep.

[Aaarg]

aliens with butts bad taste?

[Fathom Zero]

lgCnCri2cTU

[Kitsa]

I never really got around to watching it. All I can remember is the alien in the suit or something giving the finger on the cover.

[Fathom Zero]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck man

Peter Jackson is great - everything he touches is amazing.

[dextire]

I didn't really like his King Kong remake. It felt like he took an hour and half movie and stretched it to four hours without really adding anything new.

Watched a movie called When Good Ghouls Go Bad.
I think I've seen it before because I remember the zombie Indian being everywhere for no reason, and the kid thinking that a zombie had a mask on and ripped it off, only to reveal the skull underneath. Very much enjoyed it. :halloween2

[Aaarg]

bad taste isn't as good as dead alive just saying! also he made better movies when he made cheap shitty nz movies instead of billion dollar tolkien wanks. just saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111


not a movie, but we just watched metalocalypse season 3. two rockso episodes is bullshit, but w/e metalocalypse is cool.

also, saint nick, another evil santa movie. dutch is an ugly language and the finnish santa movie is way better!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Bad taste is awesome. I think thats the only movie you can watch 3 times in a row and still enjoy it.


Just went to see 7 psychopaths. Fucking awesome movie but still like in bruges better.

"Peace is for queers"

[All Hail Duke]

re-animator, brain dead/dead alive, and videodrome

been slacking on watching horror movies, so this was a good start

[Nick]

I watched Fido yesterday. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun watching a zombie movie.

[Mike Tobacco]

Tales From the Hood. Far from a must see, unless you're a horror fan that has to watch everything the genre has to offer. That being said, though, it's entertaining and well worth the watch this time of year.

[Babs]

Tell me more about 7 psychopaths. All I know is tom waits is in it and that's enough for me to want to see it.

[Zomboid]

Tales From the Hood. Far from a must see, unless you're a horror fan that has to watch everything the genre has to offer. That being said, though, it's entertaining and well worth the watch this time of year.

The movie that introduced me to the term "nigglings." Agreed, though--it's worth watching.

[Mike Tobacco]

Ha! Yes!

The first time I watched it, I remember thinking David Alan Grier as a villain was awkward as hell. It actually took me a minute to figure out whether or not his character was gonna be funny. Watching it this time, though, I imagined it was an "In Living Color" sketch, and he's pretty hilarious.

[Krythor]

Skyfall in one word: nonsensical.

[All Hail Duke]

moonrise kingdom
love wes anderson moves, and this was his best

[Kitsa]

Elephant in the Living Room, a documentary.

Scary, because it's about here. Literally here, as in the area where I live. Freaky and sad documentary on the exotic animal industry. I know the reptile end of it to be true because I've been at several reptile shows that were busted (I used to raise chameleons).

Here's where it gets creepy- today, before I knew this documentary existed, I could have SWORN I saw a dead tiger by the side of the road. I thought it was a dead deer, but it had stripes. We were by it so fast I couldn't get a closer look.

:(

[Aaarg]

the exotic pet store around here sells a damn monkey. wtf. i've never been, but apparently i have to go soon because they sell fruit flies and suddenly the dozens of fruit flies in my house are dead.

fuck pet stores.


jade warrior - a finnish/chinese wuxia-like? sounds interesting. oh, it's boring and shitty? dang.

[WhiteRoseBrian]

I took a friend to see Wreck-it Ralph and he brought a friend of his. You might think that the basic concept is abstract and unrelatable--at least I suspected as much at first--but in truth it turns into a solid picture. There was very good animation, well-done stereoscopic effects, plenty of gags that made both my companions laugh (not just the videogame-based gags), and a few genuine emotional moments. It proved to be a solid afternoon at the theater.

[Kitsa]

Overheard in a Toys R Us next to a clearance rack of Hunger Games crap:

"Why don't they make toys for Hunger Games? Like, the bow and arrows or something?"

"*snort* Yeah, let's just give kids weapons."


...aaaaaaand point missed.

[darkvare]

i saw skyfall and while it's sort of weird it's still fun and javier bardem is freaking awesome in it

[dextire]

Wreck-it Ralph is great! The story and jokes work whether or not you grew up with arcade games, the artwork is fantastic, and it's more of a movie that's okay for kids than a "kid's movie".
Oh, and King Candy is awesome.

[darkvare]

i loved wreck it ralph kinda helped that i didn't had to listen to sarah silverman lol

[Dimnos]

Oh, the joys of living in Mexico. :)

[Aaarg]

lone wolf and cub 2
hellraiser 4

people watch terrorvision is an 80s movie that's pretty much 80s condensated in a movie her listen to the song to get you pumped xvkx4JFt74o

[Tadao]

[dextire]

It's coming out on Bluray early next year as a double feature with The Video Dead!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Holy fuck. Huge fan of the anime. Can't take much of this seriously though. also it has Malcolm Mcdowell and the kid that played Rufio from Hook.

8EPEPS_4uHM

[kahljorn]

hahahaah omg that thing is so hilarious.

you wer right about him not getting shot imeant to write you about that. Raul karateed that motherfucker up.

also i think my favorite thing about thismovie is how small kenshiro is. and also how gay he looks whenever he punches stuff.
why did they even make that movie

oh holy shit i forgot it had chris penn

[kahljorn]

hahahaa when he kills shin he says, "YOU RUINED MY LIFE SHIN"

theres so much other ifst of the northstar stuff.

charlie chaplin great

[Mad Melvin]

Going to see Dredd later tonight. I'm pretty psyched. I'll down a few beers beforehand so I can handle all the manliness.

[Fathom Zero]

Oh yeah, I saw Skyfall on Sunday.

Is prolly my second-favorite Bond movie and one of the best movies I've seen in a theater in a very long time. It beat Prometheus for me, this year.

[darkvare]

lol one of the movie thaters pulled a shitty move every movie at every hour playing today is the new twilight

[kahljorn]

theres another one?

i thought it was a trilogy shouldnt it be over by now?

[darkvare]

they pulled a harrypotter and made the last one 2 movies

[Mad Melvin]

Dredd was really awesome. Gritty and nihilistic with a touch of subtle black humor. Just the way it should be. I have no idea why this wasn't a success at the box office.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Skyfall......Good fucking damn great.

Growing up I watched a shit ton of james bond but I've always wondered what it would have been like to see the old ones in the theaters when they came out. Skyfall made me feel that way.

Here's to another 50 years Mr. Bond.

[Krythor]

BUT IT MAKES NO SENSE!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

What part of it doesn't make sense?

[Aaarg]

devils on the doorstep
let the bullets fly
howling 2: your sister is a werewolf
iron monkey 2

[Krythor]

The biggest plot hole in Skyfall involves the scene which is embarrassingly stolen from the Dark Knight. The majority of the other plot holes revolve around it.

Without spoiling, the whole London portion of the evil plan doesn't make any sense, and Bond's arrival at that point stops making sense from the casino. I read the wikipedia entry for it a few days after seeing it thinking I must have missed something but no, it's mind boggling.

[Mad Melvin]

Plot hole? In a Bond movie? Fuck that shit, take me back to the days of The Moonraker when things made sense.

[Fathom Zero]

:lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

What dark knight plothole did they take now?

[Krythor]

Plot hole? In a Bond movie? Fuck that shit, take me back to the days of The Moonraker when things made sense.

That's my point, even by Bond standards it makes no sense.

They stole the "HE WANTED US TO CATCH HIM" scene from dark knight. At least in dark knight it made some sort of sense in terms of the character's motives, but in Bond it's just there because they thought it would be cool. From there, the scenes preceding it fall apart. His plan to be caught hinges on Bond going to China, managing to kill the sniper guy and figuring out where that casino chip is from. He then has to beat all those guys in a fight (and not get eaten by dragons), and agree to go along with that woman to that island, then the villain has to hope Bond tries to escape with the gun he gives him and doesn't kill him instead of taking him prisoner.

Probably the dumbest part of the film is the way that his original assassination attempt on M involved him walking into the middle of a crowded court room and shooting her, where presumably she's heavily body guarded. Again, they're going for the "suicidal villain" thing like in dark knight, but it blows.

I also hate the way that Q the hacker (the action movie equivalent of the wizard) is able to "create a digital trail" for javier bardem to follow, but that MI6 aren't able to say, provide more guys / more weapons to hide out at the farm.

It's terrible. I'm a life long bond fan and accept the bullshit like say, the underground train crashing through the tracks at the exact moment that the bad guy wants it to etc, but the basic plot needed heavy rework.

[Krythor]

Even a Bond film as terrible as Die Another Day has its own internal logic that it tries to abide by, even if it's laughable, eg the evil scarred Korean guy gets plastic surgery and becomes a thin, English gentleman can be accepted on some level because the film tries to explain it. But Skyfall doesn't play by its own rules: it wants you to think it's a gritty, realistic Bond film, but can't be bothered doing the heavy lifting to earn it.

[Dimnos]

I haven't seen the new one but jet out of curiosity, how do you feel about tomorrow never dies and the new casino royal?

[Fathom Zero]

I wouldn't say it all hinged on Bond finding him. I believe that he would've made it increasingly easy for them to find him after a while.

[darkvare]

he knew they sent bond after him since he had everything mi6 had about bond after he was tested again

[dextire]

Watched all 4 Critters movies back to back. Enjoyed them all but in going from favorite to least favorite; 2 is by far the best, 4, 3, 1.

[All Hail Duke]

ghost rider:spirit of vengeance

ugh

[Krythor]

I haven't seen the new one but jet out of curiosity, how do you feel about tomorrow never dies and the new casino royal?

Been ages since I've seen either but I liked Casino Royale and think that Tomorrow Never Dies is really underrated. Last time I watched Goldeneye it wasn't as good as I remembered.

I watched Argo a week or so ago. I mostly enjoyed it, although the sappy ending ruined it a bit.

[Fathom Zero]

Goldeneye is really, really campy, but I'm cool with it. The opening scenario was awesome, though.

[Ex Leper]

The Dungeonmaster (1986) - Great cheesy Charles Band film with a cameo by WASP! Not on DVD :\

Beer (1985) - Weird comedy about guys who be come famous for doing beer commercials, OK.

Vamp (1986) - Underrated 80s vampire movie i should have seen long ago.

Ghost Warrior (1986) - Another Charles Band film about a Samuri in modern times, dull.

[All Hail Duke]

philadelphia-pretty good, i guess

[Mad Melvin]

Looper. Not bad. Not bad at all. Didn't expect much, so I was very pleasantly surprised.

[Babs]

Hey ex leper, I just recently watched the dungeonmaster (ragewar) the other day as well. I was wondering if there was a DVD version but all I could find was a VHS copy. Time to setup a petition.

[Aaarg]

just visiting, a remake of les visiteurs

[Ex Leper]

Hey ex leper, I just recently watched the dungeonmaster (ragewar) the other day as well. I was wondering if there was a DVD version but all I could find was a VHS copy. Time to setup a petition.

It's available on netflix but I don't think there is a DVD yet. I'm guessing the music rights (WASP) are preventing it from happening.

[dextire]

Yeah, between WASP and Richard Band doing the score I can see where that could tie this film up in limbo. But who knows, Shout! Factory has been releasing awesome 80s treasures by the score lately.

I just watched The Visitors again a few days ago, Aaarg. How does the remake (sort of a sequel) stack up?

[Aaarg]

all right i watched dungeonmaster since it's going away on netflix. WTF did i watch? weird stuff.

re: just visiting, a lot of the jokes are re-used. it's much more of a remake than a sequel, and less interesting because it's american instead of french (i had enough problems with the fact that a 12th century frenchman could speak modern french, but now he speaks modern english too!). if you liked the visitors a lot, i guess it's worth seeing the stupid remake.

apparently they're making a second sequel, though. i guess jean reno is out of money or something. i'm looking forward to les visiteurs 3.

[WhiteRoseBrian]

I took a friend and his friend out to see Rise of the Guardians--it's a fairly typical children's fantasy, but it's genuinely gorgeous and oftentimes outright spectacular.

[dextire]

Lion Man! King Solomon's son is raised by lions, has his hands replaced with steel claws, and battles by jumping around on trampolines. Oh, and it's Turkish.

[Aaarg]

the thief of bagdad (douglas fairbanks). cool movie.

[Fathom Zero]

I don't know or care what anyone else really thought about Skyfall, but if you didn't think Albert Finney was fucking amazing, then you should be lobotomized.

[Ex Leper]

Tales from the Darkside the Movie: I've had the poster for a while and finally watched the film giving me reason to frame it.

[Krythor]

I don't know or care what anyone else really thought about Skyfall, but if you didn't think Albert Finney was fucking amazing, then you should be lobotomized.

Pointless comic relief bullshit character in a bad movie.

But you're right, you do need to be lobotomized to enjoy it.

[All Hail Duke]

bernie-really good movie

[All Hail Duke]

finally got around to skyfall-thought it was pretty good

[Mad Melvin]

The Hobbit

I dunno. I liked it, I guess. Some of it anyways. I really hated the over used cgi which made everything look like plastic. The whole goblin mountain fightscene was like a videogame. There was also a bit too much slapstick and humor in odd places. Still, worth a watch and I do want to see the sequel.

[Aaarg]

i'll never see the hobbit but you can never have too much slapstick

speaking of which,
a king in new york - chaplin's the greatest.
modern times (again) - chaplin's the greatest.
strigoi - great movie! like a subdued, romanian shaun of the dead.
animal farm (1999) - crap junk crap balls

[Dimnos]

The Hobbit

I dunno. I liked it, I guess. Some of it anyways. I really hated the over used cgi which made everything look like plastic. The whole goblin mountain fightscene was like a videogame.

Des it have the dude that turns into a bear?

[kahljorn]

whats the best ingar bergman film

[WhiteRoseBrian]

I just came back from seeing An Unexpected Journey with my parents and my friend. In our estimation, it was nowhere as bad as some of the reviews have made it out to be. In my estimation, the pacing was appropriate; the 3D did well in showing the world, the characters, the battles, and the dramatic scenes; and it promised an epic cinematic story in the years ahead.

[dextire]

ParaNorman was actually pretty good. I thought it was crappy CGI, but it's actually nice stop-motion.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Running with Scissors
Green Street Hooligans
Wreck-it Ralph

[Babs]

Just watched blood diner, return of the killer tomatoes, cemetery man, four flies on grey velvet, brain damage, and stay tuned. I have no life.

[WhiteRoseBrian]

The very next evening after seeing the Hobbit, I went by myself to see the Life of Pi. It was lovely, really.

[Nick]

At least he's dead now.

[Kitsa]

I had a few days of HBO over the weekend, so I hung around and watched HBO movies.

Picture Paris- I glanced up when I heard the French voiceover, saw Julia Louis-Dreyfus, rolled my eyes...because she is always the character whose husband leaves her in a midlife crisis, and this was more of the same. As it progressed, though, it took a positively delightful turn. I now approve of it.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Mostly lame, couple of halfhearted laughs. I now realize that this was the audition tape for Hunger Games Boy, as Winter's Bone was the audition tape for Hunger Games Girl. Both are doing exactly what they did in Hunger Games. He even injures the same leg.

New Year's Day: I'm amazed this held my attention, given all the people in it I can't stand, but it sort of did. I think I just weather-sealed my brain and stared blankly at the screen as I ate tortilla chips. America!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

God bless america.

night of the comet - a bad movie but with some pretty good ideas
true legend - like a classic wuxia but with modern shitty camera work and cgi!
alamar - interesting enough. some nice shots.
cinema paradiso - crap.
the relic - crap.
home movies (again) - awesome.

[Dimnos]

Night of the comet is awesome prick. >:

[kahljorn]

while she was out or something

this movie is so stupid it makes me mad

so its a woman on the run from some thugs.
first shes in a car and they are all having a car chase. theyve already shot a cop that tried to stop them from messing with her. she has a hella far lead on them. she stops at a deserted gas station for what. to call the cops? wtf is that gonna do.
turn down a sidestreet you stupid bitch.
soi they catch up.
more chases.
they skid out.
she manages to go through a deadend sign and crash into some shit.
rather than getting out and immediately running away, she spends like ten minutes rummaging around and grabbing a loud and heavy toolbox.
then she sits around and does nothing until the thugs finally show up and crash their car. they dont even notice her car. she is just standing there. waiting for them to get closer.
finally they get close and she runs with her loud and heavy toolbox.
look at that they somehow noticed her.

ten minutes later shes still "running" by which i mean runs ten steps then hears the bad guys yell so she stops to turn around and LOOK AT THEM AND LIKE WAIT FOR THEM. EVERYTIME THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE. EVERY. TIME. LOOK I HAVE A LEAD ON THEM. TIME TO STAND AROUND AND DO NOTHING FOR A WHILE> OMGZ THEY CAUGHT UP! TIME TO RUN! OK I THINK IM KINDA FAR NOW TIME TO STOP AND LISTEN TO THEM YELL AND PEE AND DO ALL THAT OTHER SHIT.
ok now i somehow got kinda far from them but i found them again what i went in a circle. time to sit here and listen to their music and everything they have to say. for three minutes
OMGZ THEY SAW ME TIME TO RUN AND FALL.
runs across river.
OMGZ I GOT FAR AWAY TIME TO STOP AND WAIT FOR THEM BETTER NOT FORGET MY LOUD AND HEAVY TOOLBOX.

ten i fell asleep
watch this movie if you like having things to yell about

[Tadao]

Been watching a lot of Rifftrax.

[All Hail Duke]

cliffhanger-dumb but entertaining

[Tadao]

Lol the wife had that on when I walked into the room and I immediately changed the channel.

[obihahn]

Just watched Terminator 2 on BluRay. Damn, that movie has some low volume conversations and lots of super loud explosions, shootouts and music...so the loud stuff was SUPER loud, unlike the soundmix on my DVD of the same flick.
My neighbors must really hate me by now.

[Kitsa]

Lincoln.

If you're a history nerd, it's great. There are a few departures from reality and some license was taken (all of the pro-slavery guys are weasely and unctuous, for example), but all in all it was a beautifully shot film. No pun intended. Har-de-har-har.

Daniel Day-Lewis was fucking amazing and Tommy Lee Jones stole the show.

[darkvare]

django fucking loved it gonna go see it again on tuesday

[WhiteRoseBrian]

Yesterday I had a bad stomach flu, so I spent part of the afternoon on the sofa streaming from Netflix. I streamed Killer Klowns from Outer Space. For some reason I was disappointed. Either it didn't feel quite zany enough or I just knew too well what to expect after seeing James Rolfe's review.

[Mad Melvin]

Django Unchained

It was ok. Better than Inglourious Basterds or Death Proof, but it dragged on too long and was kinda forgettable. Still, I was entertained, which is more I can say for most movies these days.

[Aaarg]

kingdom of heaven-it was ok

Theatrical or Director's cut? Theatrical version is shitty as shit, but the DC one is actually quite decent. Despite Orlando Bloom who has the same expression the whole movie.

[All Hail Duke]

after looking it up, it was the theatrical

[captain516]

I wish Django Unchained involved a giant machine gun at some point.

[Tadao]

They could have had a giant Gatling type machine gun. They did it in Lone Wolf and Cub. :(

[kahljorn]

but gatling guns have chains

[Tadao]

Hahaha that took me a few seconds.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Insidious. It was really good. Only complaint was the incessant banging on the bass keys of a piano to make you jump. Especially because they actually have a piano so everytime I heard it go off I just pictured some asshole ghost dropping the macho man elbow on the keys.

also I'm pretty sure the main demon is darth maul

[Kitsa]

Watched Identity Thief in the theater. It was okay I guess. It sort of felt like watching a really long sitcom.

Also, watching Melissa McCarthy masturbate with a shower massager, while you're sitting next to your mother, is awkward.

[WhiteRoseBrian]

Most recently I streamed The Adventures of Tintin. I wrote more about it in my blog, but I'll just say here that it's a decent diversion with some really good graphics and some spectacular action sequences.

[Tadao]

I could never get into that comic. I think it was featured in Heavy Metal a long long time ago and I kept shipping through it to get to the sex and gore comics. :(

I watched Casino Royale for the first time last week and it was better than I thought it would be, I've tried watching Q of S a few times but I always wind up changing the channel. The probably put long commercials in the worst places.

It was weird watching the couple from As Time Goes By being government type people.

[Tadao]

Oh, I'm reminded that I watched The Man with the Iron Fists. Even though that dumb crosseyed cunt has very few scenes, the movie still sucks. I hope Django is better.

[Tadao]

Watching Blackhawk Down. Pretty intense movie :eek

[liquidstatik]

..

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The tintin animated show was really cool.

Casino royale is amazing.

Q of S ......really disappointing.

Skyfall though is fucking great.

[Tadao]

I have to watch QS before Skyfall to get the full effect of the series, right?

[Zomboid]

Full effect? Yeah, I guess, though I think it'd still be enjoyable if you had pretty basic knowledge of the series. QoS doesn't change a lot.

[Tadao]

I was under the impression that all 3 movies are really just one long movie.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

CR and QoS go back to back, You can watch Skyfall as a stand alone.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Also, Kitsa, have you seen The Gift ? I watched that at 6 am this morning and thought you were in it. Like in a red headed Cate Blanchett kind of way.

I tend to see similar face structure, eyes and nose with chin recognition though.

[Mad Melvin]

Cloud Atlas

I really liked it. Have to see it again, 'cause i'm sure I missed a lot of small details.

[captain516]

Superfuzz. Ernest Borgnine and Terrence Hill are two cops in Miami, and the latter gets superpowers. Not a very good movie by any means, but I can't hate it, I find movies like this to be stupidly endearing.

[Aaarg]

a chinese ghost story iii. not as good as the other two (probably due to the lack of wu ma), but still a great movie.

what an excellent trilogy. jeeeeeeze.

an actor's revenge/revenge of a kabuki actor. beautiful movie, great plot, etc. best movie i've seen in some time.


i love the way older movies look, and i hate the way new movies look. suxxx. i just can't see the artistic merit in filming everything in front of a green screen and adding the environment in post. just build a damn set. :(

for a chinese ghost story 3, somebody built a temple demon... and then blew it up. they also built a giant demon tongue... and then blew it up. iron man doesn't even wear a real fucking suit sometimes. nobody gives a shit but me. sigh.

[Tadao]

Have you seen the movie "Lost in La Mancha"?

[Aaarg]

nope! i do like don quixote, though.

[Tadao]

You should see it, it explains a portion of why producers and directors work in controlled environments.

I long for the days of Kurosawa. He would wait weeks to get the right weather for the battle scene. It's just not possible anymore.

[Tadao]

gXzA9tVv38Q

Sure, It's awesome to have an idea and be able to physically make it real on film. I can't do it and neither can you. You make me a movie with no CGI with and awesome display of giants and explosions with a plot that follows through, then I can respect your hate for CGI. Until then my friend, you are just another critic.

[Tadao]

and I know you wont get all GW on me because you actually have a mind of your own.

[Aaarg]

I like obvious sets, though. I like movies that look like elaborate theater productions. Any old Shaw Brothers movie has some silly-looking fake set pieces, and they manage to make it work every time. Revenge of a Kabuki Actor has several scenes shot in a dark, closed set - no props or set pieces, just black floors. I guess it's a matter of taste, really.

I don't see why what was possible in the 60s and 70s isn't possible today. It's a pain in the ass to make a movie as stunning as Ran, but in the end... you have a movie like Ran.

I think I just really respect the problem solving when it comes to "special effects," especially in horror movies. The Evil Dead II is pretty awesome for that. You want to achieve the effect of having a severed hand running across the floor? Build a fake floor with a gap in it.

CGI can do a lot more with a lot less and provides more jobs to people in the business, so I guess there's that. I just don't like the way movies look now and I liked the way they looked several decades ago.

ramblr

[Tadao]

I find myself favoring older movies where plot moves at a slow pace and actors talk for 3 minutes to finish 1 point. :(

[Aaarg]

haha, monologues are ok!

[Kitsa]

Nope, was not in The Gift.

My agent went out of business soon after my last extra gig. I hope it was a coincidence.

[WhiteRoseBrian]

I took a friend and his friend to see Oz the Great and Powerful. I'd say it was just decent--decent and nothing more. I thought I should decide for myself since I had seen good reviews and weak reviews.

[Tadao]

What underwhelmed you?

[WhiteRoseBrian]

I'm thinking it's mainly the casting that underwhelmed me. I especially doubt that Mila Kunis was right for one particular witch (I'm keeping this vague to avoid spoilers).

[Tadao]

I'm not a fan of hers or James Franco.

[Aaarg]

UGh those are the people in the new oz movie?


potiche
a factory owner has some health problemz and is super-stressed by his workers striking because he's an asshole. he gives his wife temporary control of the factory and she hates him and basically gives the workers everything they want and makes it an awesome place that everybody loves and then the man comes back and fucks everything up and then she divorces him and runs for an MP position.
the french are super-silly. this movie took a little while to get going (actually the opening scene is pretty funny, but after that it takes a while!).

[Tadao]

:lol that looks horrible

Speaking of horrible, I watched Quantum of Solace in full last night.

[Aaarg]

no way
http://glown.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/mystics15.jpg
totally awesome
http://glown.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/mystics08.jpg
(not really kinda slow and hard to follow and only available dubbed and without subtitles and the people are hard to understand because it's a shitty old dub)

i don't know, any movie where the opening credits play over a black background with random balinese masks is A-OK in my book.
http://glown.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/mystics01.jpg


(PS in the middle image, a penanggalan is sucking a baby out of a pregnant woman's vagina)

[Tadao]

I searched and you are correct. I can't find a non dubbed version.

Hey Brian, was that dumb bitch Mia Kuntz (or whaterver) voice as annoying as it always is in the Oz movie?

[Aaarg]

would i lie to you? mystics in bali is one of the few krasue/leak/penanggalan/flying-head witch movies that still exists let alone has an english translation at all.

[Aaarg]

other recent movie watchinz

THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN (terry gilliam) - gilliam's movies are always pretty fun (even though it seems like the last few i've watched have all included a gang of 5-6 men having adventures together). watching terry gilliam movies reminds me i still need to watch BRAZIL. also his wacky adventure movies make me think of jeunet or whoever - the french guy who did amelie and the city of lost children. i think he should make a new movie.

THE TRIP - rob brydon and steve coogan go on a trip together. what i liked about this movie: long, drawn-out, boring scenes in which steve and rob go back and forth spewing gibberish. what i didn't like about this movie: scenes without rob brydon.
a big theme in the movie is that people don't like steve coogan and he's a douche, but everybody loves rob brydon and he's likeable. this was portrayed very effectively, to the point that you're wishing the steve-coogan-only scenes were shorter.
ha ha h

THE NAKED CIVIL SERVANT - i guess i mentioned this a while ago when i watched the recent "unofficial follow-up" (an englishman in new york). based on quentin crisp's autobiography, this movie is basically john hurt being flamboyant and openly gay at a time when that was illegal/etc. john hurt is cool. quentin crisp was cool.

[Tadao]

I watched Sinister and Cloud Atlas last night.

Both were good, yet both were very predictable for me. I don't mind, I don't need a twist. It's just nice to enjoy stories for what they are for a change.

Sinister gave me the creeps. It never scared me, but the whole flow of the movie was very eerie.

Cloud Atlas is what it is. I'll probably watch it again next month to pick up on things that blew past me the first go round. It's probably on of those movies that you watch a few times.

[Tadao]

Just finished The Hobbit Part 1. I think I'm burned out on the whole thing.

[captain516]

Hey Aaarg, know of any Serbian/Croatian/Yugoslavian movies that are worth a watch?

[Aaarg]

i'm not sure if i know of any, period. i've seen a handful of czech and hungarian movies, but that's about it as far as eastern europe goes.

here's a croation animated short that i love.

i7rYZd45E_E

[captain516]

I'm really interested right now in the culture of the old formerly communist countries. My family's from Russia, so I'm at least a little bit familiar with Soviet cinema and music.

I've seen like one or two Czech movies too, but I'll totally take a movie from Hungaria. And maybe what's his name, the other garia.

[WhiteRoseBrian]

Pardon me for the delay, Tadao. I'm only familiar with her work on Family Guy, so I can only say that she barely sounds like Meg Griffin. There's already a sequel in the works, by the way, and all the actors apparently signed on.

[All Hail Duke]

death race 2000

entertaining 70's cheese

[Shadowdancer21b]

I also just recently watched Death Race 2000 for the first time. Netflix doesn't always suck. I have also started watching Korean dramas with the missus. I'm getting old.

[All Hail Duke]

hugo

it was ok i guess

[WhiteRoseBrian]

My friend, his friend, and I went out to see The Croods. It was a bit better than I expected.

[Dimnos]

Oh man, their cave people but their just like us!

[Captain Conquest]

Rope, Day of the dolphin, O-zone ( :x ) and Pumpkinhead :chatter

[Tadao]

Just watched "The Collection". It was good until the end. I like that it was fast paced, otherwise it would be completely boring. Then the end happened and it was typical and predictable. :/

[Aaarg]

O-zone ( :x )

oh my god. i was trying to remember this movie a few days ago. "you know, that really terrible movie with the black guy and the junkie zombies?" nothin'. awful movie.

[Mad Melvin]

oh my god. i was trying to remember this movie a few days ago. "you know, that really terrible movie with the black guy and the junkie zombies?" nothin'. awful movie.

Is it awful in an entertaining way? Weird coincidence, we're having a VHS night with a few friends this saturday, and the point is to watch random shitty movies we picked up at flea markets. Ozone is one of them.

It wasn't. What a piece of shit.

[All Hail Duke]

dirty harry

corny as hell, but very entertaining

[Tadao]

Skyfall, strangely, I like the other 2 better.

[Aaarg]

It wasn't. What a piece of shit.

yeah sorry i wasn't around to tip you off that it has no redeeming qualities.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I want to watch iron sky. Netflix exclusive about how when the nazis lost in ww2 they went to the moon....and now they're back with nazi space revenge.

[SuperYuriGagarin]

Iron Sky took for god damned ever to actually come out.

[Dimnos]

Watch it, its horridly ridiculous. :lol

[SuperYuriGagarin]

I saw The Raid: Redemption not too long ago. If you like martial arts movies, Die Hard, or the recent Judge Dredd movie. You will probably like it a lot.

[Tadao]

I've downloaded Iron Sky 3 times and never watched. :/

I just get this feeling about it.

[Tadao]

Went to see Great and Powerful Oz last night. It was fine, nothing great and the fact that they seemed to deepen Mila's nasily ass voice helped me like the movie 10 fold.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched part of iron sky. Ridiculous.

I really want to ser the New oz movie.

[WhiteRoseBrian]

My friend and I went to see the new conversion of Jurassic Park. Let me copy and paste what I typed on my blog.

"It’s essentially a basic creature-feature. The plot is a bit thin and by-the-numbers but it does maintain tension. There is some effort to give personality and development to the characters. The ground-breaking special effects still hold up today. As for the conversion, it is not always spectacular, but it does not have to be—it is often enough to feel like something extra added, it is technically competent, and the extra depth can really be seen in the larger-scale scenes or even some of the close-up shots."

[Dimnos]

Dinosaurs demolishing ass in 3D; win!


Simple enough.

[Kitsa]

Forgot to mention it when I saw Stand Up Guys. The acting was great. The film itself was absolutely full of plot holes and kind of required you to just shut down your brain and go with it. But whatever. It's Walken and Pacino, so when it comes out, watch it for the acting.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Dinosaurs demolishing ass in 3D; win!


Simple enough.

OFFICIAL tagline from now on.

[All Hail Duke]

in the mouth of madness-the fuck was that?
21 jump street-much better than i thought it would be
adaptation-really good
men in black 3-not bad
john carter-meh
attack the block-pretty good
stranger than fiction-good
three days of the condor-pretty good

[WhiteRoseBrian]

Late last week I streamed The Grey and later Big Fish. The Grey became intense and grim. Big Fish became a bit sentimental but still respectable in its efforts.

As of this edit, I just came back from seeing Iron Man 3. Frankly, I was disappointed.

[All Hail Duke]

underworld awakening-piece of shit

[WhiteRoseBrian]

Star Trek Into Darkness was decent.

[Dimnos]

more or less decent than the last?

[Tadao]

I kinda want it to be awesome :(

[All Hail Duke]

watched no holds barred for the first time in years

don't know what i was thinking

[WhiteRoseBrian]

more or less decent than the last?

If you're talking about the previous Star Trek, unfortunately I hadn't seen that, so I can't comment on that.

[Dimnos]

Thats what i meant by last, the last one to come out.

[Tadao]

God dam chains are weighing me down.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Star trek into darkness. Saw it twice. Iron man 3. Kinda meh

[WhiteRoseBrian]

Epic was formulaic but very competent.

[All Hail Duke]

wreck it ralph-it was ok

[Dimnos]

Into Darkness, definitely did not disappoint.

Loved the last fight between Spock and Khan.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Into Darkness, definitely did not disappoint.

Loved the last fight between Spock and Khan.

I had trouble not bursting out with laughter during the bridge fight scene when music started playing. All I could think of as the cable guy. Bulla luh la laaaa la laaaaa.

[Kitsa]

Liberace: Behind the Candelabra

Nope, won't get that image of Matt Damon boning Michael Douglas out of my head anytime soon.

[cqmorrell]

Blood Beach, 1981. Think of a really low budget Tremors, nine years before Tremors, and set on a beach on Los Angeles. Really slow and boring, I just skip to the bits where the monster pulls people under the sand. And, oh yeah, the monster looks like a sandworm from Dune if it were gene-spliced with an artichoke.

[Mike Tobacco]

Pitch Black. I saw that a new Riddick movie was coming out this fall, so I figured I'd re-watch the original for the first time in about 10 years. It's a much better movie than it was given credit for back in 2000. Plus, unlike the sequel and videogames, Riddick has a personality and there isn't a bunch of stupid sci-fi fantasy mumbo jumbo. He's just a badass murderer. Supporting characters are good too, except the Haji kids who wander off all the time. Also I think this is the first movie to use the phrase "skull-fuck."

[Aaarg]

i was in an appalachian mountain mood last night so i double-featured two flicks filmed in/near western NC.

songcatcher - the scenery is magnificent & the music is good (could have used more banjo numbers!), but the acting is bad and the movie kind of feels like it's made-for-TV.

deliverance - i'd never seen this until now. i'm glad to find out the whole movie isn't about rapist hillbillies. turns out lots of it is just some dudes floatin' down a river. ok!

[All Hail Duke]

brave-it's ok

[Kitsa]

For some reason, the music in Brave really annoyed me. I can't explain it, other than it was like Pocahontas but Scottish.

I liked the animation, but saw it in 3D and got a massive headache.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Man of Steel is the best Dragonball Z movie ever produced.

It's a bad Superman movie though :T

[WhiteRoseBrian]

I just came back from seeing Man of Steel. I even recorded an audio review and posted it. Overall I just thought it was decent.

[Dimnos]

Decent enough to bother with a review. :lol

Does any of you like anything anymore?

[All Hail Duke]

the skin i live in-a really good, fucked up movie

[Kitsa]

I heard from a lot of smart people that The Purge was horrible and from a lot of people I know to be stupid that it was great.

[Caricage]

The Pram Maven documentary

[All Hail Duke]

dredd-not bad, but i didn't think much of the villain, and i'm not a fan of slo-mo so the constant use of it was really annoying

[WhiteRoseBrian]

On Sunday evening I went to see Monsters University. I'd say it's above average.

Today I streamed Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. In all honesty, it didn't do that much for me in spite of its strengths.

[All Hail Duke]

phantom of the paradise-such a good movie

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Miami Connection

[Ricky Butler]

Twins. The last time I had seen it, I was six. I was surprised to find that it was as funny as I remembered--which is interesting, considering that many things I thought were funny as a child turned out to be one turd after another as an adult.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The Twins sequel is coming out soon.

[Dimnos]

World War Z, the jews did it.

[All Hail Duke]

battle royale-very entertaining

[WhiteRoseBrian]

Last week on the Fourth, my friend and I went to see Despicable Me 2. Formulaic, but not bad at all and often funny (and the Minions steal the show).

[All Hail Duke]

dark shadows-wasn't as terrible as i thought it'd be, but i doubt i'd watch it ever again

[WhiteRoseBrian]

Nightmare Before Christmas is a bit overrated, but it's a minor classic.

As for Pacific Rim, if you temper your expectations you should be in for quite a ride.
