[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Haven't had time. I'm at work 45 hrs a week and have a girl. Final Fantasy XI takes up a lot of my time too.

[seesawbooy]

Mallrats

[pac-man]

I'm in the middle of watching The Day the Earth Stood Still on AMC. I can wholeheartedly say that I have no desire to see the new one now, as this one is more than adequate and doesn't feature Keanu Reeves.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finished Poultrygeist last night. It was really good. I still liked Terror Firmer a lot better but I've only watched Poultrygeist once so far. Going over to my friend Niki's tonight so she can pinpoint the parts she is in.

I loved the line


"You look thirsty, how about some punch!" followed by a punch to the face. Not that it's amazingly witty, I just wasn't expecting it.

[MetalMilitia]

Foot Fist Way - Not bad. Will probably appeal to fans of Napoleon Dynamite.

The Dark Knight - What can I say? It's as good as everyone said it would be. Looks phenomenal in HD too.

Ghostbusters 2 - Caught this on TV for the first time in years and it holds up better that I expected.

[ZeldaQueen]

I'm watching clips of Dogma on YouTube right now.

[Supafly345]

Chinatown

[Fathom Zero]

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

[pac-man]

Double Dragon. I don't know why I watched it, I don't know why I'll watch it again. Terrible, terrible film.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Double Dragon. I don't know why I watched it, I don't know why I'll watch it again. Terrible, terrible film.


Was it on TNT? I see it a lot on there from time to time. Isn't there a Double Dragon arcade game in the background in one of the scenes in the movie?

[RaNkeri]

The Bourne trilogy

[pac-man]

Was it on TNT? I see it a lot on there from time to time. Isn't there a Double Dragon arcade game in the background in one of the scenes in the movie?

Yeah it was on one of those channels that throws movies like that on TV after midnight to get the insomniac stoner demographic. I never noticed a Double Dragon arcade game, but then again I've seen this movie like 4 times and couldn't give a plot summary to save my life. Alyssa Milano is hot, though, so it's got that going for it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol

Plot summary of double dragon from what I remember:

Two brothers and Alyssa Milano being hot. Some fight scene. Some meathead with a machine sticking out of his head steal one of the police cars from the Super Mario Bros movie. There's some radar tracking. Another fight scene. Double Dragon arcade machine. A chase scene involving some run down future hoods. Fight scene.

It's been a while since I've seen it but I think it's pretty close.

[pac-man]

Replace the second fight with the brothers being chased by a bunch of gangs like a shitty neon version of The Warriors and it's pretty spot on.

[Kitsa]

Was Double Dragon the one with the guy from Iron Chef America?

[kahljorn]

I used to have a fantastic planet avatar :(

my favorite thing by him is gandahar or lightyears.

[RaNkeri]

Resident Evil: Degeneration

Best resident evil film and yet it left me with an "Ehhh" feeling

[Dimnos]

Because it has nothing to do with the last three RE movies, it has to be the better one.

[MetalMilitia]

The Bunker - I quite enjoyed this film, it's weird though that all films involving haunted military bunkers are English. I count three that I've seen so far; The Outpost, The Bunker and Death Watch.
Of the three The Outpost is by far the best.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Sukiyaki Western Django - Really great flick.

[Big McLargehuge]

i rented "tears of the black tiger" and it was mind meltingly colored and wonderfully confusing

[Guitar Woman]

The Rose.

eh.

[Mockery]

The Wrestler.

Hell of a performance by Mickey Rourke. The story is decent, but it's really Mickey that keeps you wanting to keep watching.

[pac-man]

The Wrestler.

Hell of a performance by Mickey Rourke. The story is decent, but it's really Mickey that keeps you wanting to keep watching.

I've got to get out to see that this weekend. Read a few reviews and an article in Sports Illustrated that labeled it the best sports movie of the year hands down. Plus you can't go wrong with Mickey (unless he's boxing, that is :\)

[Embee90]

The two most recent movies I've seen that were new to me were 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' and 'Gone Baby Gone.' I loved 'Gone Baby Gone,' but 'Fear and Loathing' just confused the shit out of me . . . I couldn't follow it at all.

[Tadao]

That sucks Embee, maybe you should check out the book at the library. Books usually fill you in on a lot more than the movie does.

[Embee90]

Perhaps. The whole "stoned out of your fuckin' mind" thing never really has appealed to me anyway.

[Tadao]

Don't ever let that stop you from reading Hunter S. Thompson books.

[Kitsa]

I heard Johnny Depp's personality forever changed after he stayed with Hunter S. Thompson for a while. I heard he lived in the basement.

Hunter S. Thompson's basement must have been scary as all hell.

Also, I have a stuffed duck named Hunter S. Thompson.





Hunter S. Thompson.

[Tadao]

H.S.T. was why I gave up all hope on politics and faith in mankind. He made life more real for me. Oh and Embee, most of H.S.T.'s work is written under the influence of alcohol.

[bigtimecow]

lemme see, this weekend we watched:

the cure - cute movie about a kid with aids :( very tear-worthy

wanted - gah, i had my doubts about this film. the first 30-minutes were very stylized and actually really good, but this style fell short for the rest of the movie. if you want sick action scenes, watch this. those scenes are shot very well

dodgeball - classic

animal house - double secret classic

;D pretty good weekend

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

dodgeball - classic





If you still have this available to you on DVD watch it again. Everytime Ben Stiller snaps his fingers in the movie you can hit the ENTER button on your remote control for a hidden scene not found anywhere else.

[Kitsa]

elf. it was better than I thought it'd be.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Step Brothers again.

The year without santa claus - old claymation. Mickey Rooney is awesome.

The curious case of Benjamin Button. This was a really good movie. 3 hours long too.

[WhiteRat]

Teeth

"It's true! Vagina Dentata! It's true!"

[MailCall]

Raging Bull. Got the DVD for Krismus. DeNiro is great as Jake LaMotta--who consulted on the film. I saw an interview he did a while back with ESPN and that guy is the first to say what a jerk he was. That's honesty. But LaMotta was the most fun to watch until Ali came along. The Bronx Bull was a middle weight but he hit like a heavyweight. He knocked Laurente Dauthuille through the ropes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lamotta_dauth2.jpg
and fought Sugar Ray Robinson six times. Too bad he got mixed up with the mob--that pretty much ended his career. The movie shows him knocking Sugar Ray through the ropes but you know Hollywood: the like twisting a story like they work in a pretzel factory.

[MetalMilitia]

[mild spoilers]

The Pianist - Breathtakingly brilliant film. I loved this so much. It's an amazing testament to the human spirit that anyone could've survived the Warsaw ghettos which were so vividly portrayed in this film. My favourite part was near the end when a German officer, obviously aware that the Wermacht were losing at this point, discovers Wladyslaw Szpilman and asks him to play a song. Believing it to be the last song he will ever play it's as though he unleashes all the sorrow and anger that has built up within him thoughout the past 4 years in one perfect song. So taken with the brilliance of this the officer behins to help Szpilman to survive.

[pac-man]

Finally saw The Wrestler. Great movie. Even if you don't like pro wrestling I'd recommend it. I'm not really big into it now, but I was in the 80s/early 90s and this movie had me thinking at times about the "whatever happened to him?" type guys. While it's got this dreary atmosphere, it's really a warm movie more often than not and there are some good laughs.

[WhiteRat]

Maximum Overdrive.

It's definitely going to be filed in the "great movies to drink to" section.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Have you seen it's counterpart called "Trucks" ?

[MetalMilitia]

The Strangers - I'm pretty sure this is the spiritual sequel to When a Stranger Calls because they're both pointless, terrible and use the same basic premise that you never see the faces of the killer/s. It was so horribly clichéd I spent half the time groaning at the screen and discussing with my girlfriend how stupid the victims were being. For example at one point they discover a shotgun and a whole shoebox full of shells. Now what they should've done is gone into a room with only 1 way in and aimed at the door until morning. What they actually did was split up - one of them going outside with the shotgun into some dark woods. Urgh.
It has that stupid thing at the start where it says "BASED ON TRUE EVENTS" - presumably the true events were that someone died once and they filled in the rest with generic horror film scenes (Oh noes a shadowy figure is standing in the distance and in a blink he has disappeared!!)

Really really terrible shit load of crap. Never watch The Strangers

Bag Head - Though I figured out the plot before it finished it was still an enjoyable film. Check it out if you like independant low-budget horror/comedies.

Seven Pounds - This was the third film of the night I watched and by this point I was extremely drunk which hampered my enjoyment slightly. I think it's a good film, it has a decent premise and Wil Smith acts well. Worth a rent I'd say.

[Sam]

Yes Man - It was decent. I have the hugest crush on Zooey Deschanel.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched Madagascar last night. Worth watching it alone for the Mafia penguins.

Later I watched Resident Evil: Degeneration. It was awesome. Can't wait for resident Evil 5 now(Still need to get a PS3 though.)

[MetalMilitia]

Ping Pong Playa' - Surprisingly enjoyable film about a Chinese teenager that wants to be a basketball player but ends up competing in a Ping Pong tournament. Some decent jokes along the way and a suitably heart-warning ending.

Taken - When an ex-government agent's daughter is taken during a trip to France he is forced to employ his skills to track down her captors and serve them some rough-justice. So far as action-thrillers go this was a really good one, basically if you liked Man on Fire then you'll like this.

[Sam]

Tropic Thunder - I love Robert Downey Jr. as Lincoln Osirus. :(

Uzumaki - It was creepy!

Last night I bought Resident Evil: Degeneration on Blu-Ray and I hope to watch it soon. :eek

[Kitsa]

I LOVE uzumaki but there is one part that really creeps me out. Not one of the standard jump scares, either.

I watched "Murderball" and loved it, although the way they focused on the neck scars made me a little self-conscious about mine.

[Sam]

Which part was it?

[MetalMilitia]

Man on Wire - Reasonably interesting documentary. The French are so weird.

[Kitsa]

Re: Uzumaki....

The part where she's in the car and her dad suddenly crosses in front, with his tongue spiralled out and his eye rolled down and to the side looking right at her as he hauls the buckets of clay. That freaks me the hell out every single time.

I also hate the sight of the long-haired girl all dessicated at the end. Supremely creepy to me. I have the manga and it looks exactly the same..

[Sam]

Super High Me - I probably should have watched it high. :(

Maniac Cop - Made me :lol

[Guitar Woman]

Wristcutters.

I loved it :D

[Sam]

Pineapple Express - I really loved this movie and I wasn't even high. James Franco reminded me of a bunch of stoners I know. :(

[Sam]

I watched The Ten and Hamlet 2.

I liked them both!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The Ten is honestly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Especially memorable for me because it's the first time I've seen H. John Benjamin as a person instead of just doing voice overs. I thought he would be a fat white blond guy. Instead, he looks like Carlito from the WWE. Except Benjamin is amazing.

[Tadao]

Caddyshack is still funny.

[Sam]

I just watched Resident Evil: Degeneration and I really liked it. I kept wanting to pick up my controller and play it. :(

[executioneer]

i watched gran turismo man not nearly enough car racing d-

[MetalMilitia]

The Wrestler - Wow, great film. Fantastic performance by Mickey Rourke. I hope he goes on from this to do more as he really is a great actor. The only problem I had was that...

I would've liked to actually see him die at the end and get some reactions from the other wrestlers etc. I don't know why but it just felt like it ended rather abruptly.

Zack and Miri make a porno - Pretty good. The porn scenes were hilarious and the romance plot worked well too.

[executioneer]

haha just kidding about that gran turismo/torino crack i really liked it :(


i liked clint eastwood's portrayal of racist grampa, and i liked how often my expectations of what was going to happen were dashed! i think it was great that the only dude that got killed was grampa ;_; seriously though i woulda liked to have seen more driving scenes with the title car :(

also i kept forgetting the name of the leader of the hmong gang so i just kept calling him "hmong the merciless" in my head lolol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I watched Balls out last night and it was really terrible. I'm a fan of Sean William Scott but the plot, characters, just everything in general was atrocious.

Watched Madagascar 2 after. I liked the first one more.

[WhiteRat]

The Wrestler

Overall a good movie but I just couldn't really get into it that much. I got bored about half way through.

[Skulhedface]

I'm sorry I don't have a more interesting answer, but the last movie I watched was Scooby Doo and the Boo Brothers. This was my favorite Scooby Doo related movie as a kid, and now that I have a child myself and a credit card, I ordered it, it arrived today, and damn if I wasn't going to watch it.

One of the best pieces of film ever made......period.

I need to get me a Shrecko avatar.

[Sam]

I watched Untraceable, and I really liked it, but I am a sucker for FBI/serial killer movies like that. :(

[Dimnos]

I watched The Ten and Hamlet 2.

I liked them both!

Hamlet 2... Is that the one that is modern day or near future or something?

[executioneer]

moulin rouge, i think they really dropped the ball on this one, what with all the references to bohemian shit they easily could have set it up to do bohemian rhapsody at or near the end but noooooo you gotta do some other shittier song instead

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Only worth watching for John Leguizamo.

It was my turn to pick a movie to watch with friends last night. It was between In Bruges and Poultrygeist. Made them watch Poultrygeist and my movie picking privelage got revoked for a month. They just have Bad Taste.

[Sam]

They shouldn't be your friends anymore. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I know. I made them watch Terror Firmer before(one of the best movies ever made) and they reacted the same way.

[Sam]

:(

[Sam]

Tomorrow I am going to watch Tokyo Gore Police. :eek

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

That sounds pretty interesting. Let me know how ridiculous it is.

[Tadao]

I just watched Resident Evil: Degeneration and I really liked it. I kept wanting to pick up my controller and play it. :(

This was ok. Only because every 15 minutes they ruined it with something outrageously soap opera. Fucking Japs. :(

[pac-man]

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. As funny as the first time I saw it.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c0/Interocitor.jpg

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

They need to release the movie on DVD. I have it on VHS somewhere DVD needs to = now.

[Big McLargehuge]

Man on Wire- it was pretty good. EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THE ENDING :rolleyes

[executioneer]

They need to release the movie on DVD. I have it on VHS somewhere DVD needs to = now.
my sister's got it on dvd :/ it's just out of print i tink

[Sam]

That sounds pretty interesting. Let me know how ridiculous it is.

IF POULTRYGEIST GOT YOU SUSPENDED FOR A MONTH FROM PICKING MOVIES, TOKYO GORE POLICE WILL BE A LIFELONG REVOKE.

It was insane.

[Zomboid]

Westworld. Pretty awesome!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I need to get Netflix. I went to see Slumdog Millionaire today and didn't think I was going to like it. Turned out pretty good though.

[WhiteRat]

Happiness

This movie is worth watching just for the opening scene with Jon Lovitz.

[Esuohlim]

I saw Slumdog Millionaire too last night and didn't think I was going to like it at all either, but it was a trip! It was a trip.

[Kitsa]

Just watched Life is Beautiful again, so the bf could see it. What a sad movie.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I haven't seen Life is Beautiful in 8 years but it'll definitely stay with me for years to come.

[Kilgore Cod]

Brazil
They Live

[MetalMilitia]

Good Will Hunting - I hadn't seen this before and I'd heard it wasn't bad so I decided to check it out finally. It was quite good. Robin Williams put on a good performance but the writing could've been better to be honest.

[Kitsa]

Requiem for a Dream. I got squirmy during the NG tube scene because those hurt.

[pac-man]

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. They look at the camera too much (we get it, it's an intentionally shitty movie. We knew that walking in). Other than that, though, it's a funny film and a cool way for Kevin Smith to tie his little universe together. It's not a great film in the traditional sense, but where else can you watch George Carlin, Will Ferrell, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart and many others ply their craft?

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. I watched them back to back on a night where I had nothing better to do, but it was cool. They have a natural flow and evolution. The ending of Begins has to be given credit for the success of TDK because that Joker card gave people boners for another chance to see Batman vs. The Joker. Even had TDK not featured good performances and Ledger's untimely death, the movie would've made a shit ton of money. Nolan tossed up the baseball to himself with Batman Begins and hit the ball out of the park with TDK. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't helm number 3.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze. Ooohhhh so good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx7dt0Wscpc&feature=related

1:50 into is worth watching.

I went out to a bar the other night and used the moves at 2:45.

Turtle Power

[Kitsa]

TMNT2! :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQFuwXXW0Uc

I know (or used to know, haven't spoken to her in like 10 years) the girl in the middle at 1:58.

[Kilgore Cod]

The Forbidden Kingdom

Not as horrible as everyone said it was, but nowhere as good as I was hoping. Its like another attempt at those brightly colored flashy newer Martial Arts flicks like Hero and House Of Flying Daggers except not as pretty and the action is kinda boring and that white kid was annoying.

[Kitsa]

I just watched Reality Bites for the first time.

It was funny, but not for the reasons they were probably hoping it'd be.

[Sam]

Saw 5 :\

[pac-man]

I've seen more than that.

[Sam]

BAH-ZING!

[pac-man]

Ha-cha-cha-cha! Tip your waitress.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

MAX PAYNE. Wow was this ridiculous. I really liked it though. Most of the scenes felt like you were actually in the game. Some scenes were over the top but really, who cares? I want to go watch Four Brothers again.


My friend ordered "Disco Godfather" and "The Human Tordano(Dolemite 2)" from Blockbuster online in 06/2008, they finally came in today so we're going to get a fish fry, get beer then get ridiculous with Rudy Ray Moore!

[Tadao]

Just watched Saw 5, all the way till almost the end I wanted to watch all 5 together, but then the end happened. They had the wrong tag line for this movie.

[WhiteRat]

Currently watching Purple Rain on Fuse.:hypno

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Revolutionary Road - Fine flick. Leonardo DiCaprio is the next Marlon Brando. Hopefully he just doesn't get fat later in life.

[Shrubfest]

Zorro. Catherine Z-J just got nekkid.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched "The Human Tornado" the other day, :meat. Dolemite is the man.

[brokensaint82]

just caught Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back the other day on showmax...brougth back soem memories...some good...mostly bad but still memories

[MetalMilitia]

Let the right one in - Pretty cool film. In fact one of the better vampire films I've seen.

Defiance - Kind of meh. I don't even remember how it ended.

[TheBigMan045]

Last movie i watched was The Warriors, classic movie done cheaply but it doesnt detract from the movie. I've wanted to see it for ages and got the chance to hire it out and watch it, the basic idea behind the movie may seem simple but the director makes it work so well

Yeah jo8136 calling a truce with Tadao is like trying to convince the World that Hitler never existed, it just wont work

Also for not seeing the edit button to stop fucking double and triple posting

[jo8136]

Thanks for the memo BigMan. I just hope I dont get banned

[Sacks]

I hope I get the memo about you being banned.

[Zomboid]

If I wasn't so sure that mockery would come in here and give us all shit, I'd be reporting all of that guy's posts >:

[TheBigMan045]

Just trying to bring it back on topic here but another movie i watched recently was Bullitt, best described as an average movie with a wicked car chase scene. A bit hard to follow in places but the car chase through San Fran is cool

[executioneer]

guys i've move some of the posts in htis thread to http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69701545 so if you wanna keep playing slapfight take it there ok

[WhiteRat]

Pineapple Express

A little disappointing but it was great for some cheap laughs.

[Kitsa]

I watched part of "Ice Spiders" on sci-fi but it was so damn stupid I had to stop.

[Tadao]

That comes on in 2 hours! Awesome!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

That sounds terrible

[Kitsa]

CGI done by 4th graders, it looks like.

4th graders might be a bit generous.

And the WORST acting I ever did see.

[toolz88]

here,here for Ice spiders that movie was terrible but the most recent movie i've seen was Hellraiser:Deader it was on sci-fi last night that was a rancid movie to be sure of

[MetalMilitia]

Revolutionary Road - Not bad. Kind of reminds me of Mad Men but that's probably just because of its setting. DiCaprio and Winslet are really quite good actors and this saves the film. Had two lesser actors been in the lead roles I could see it being rather crap because to be honest the story isn't THAT interesting by itself.
It also occurred to me that it'd be hilarious if this was the sequel to Titanic.

The Reader - Kate Winslet again, this time playing an illiterate Nazi war criminal that seduces a 15 year old boy and learns to read... so yeah it's kind of an odd story but it works. Much better than Revolutionary Road and actually quite upsetting at the end.

[Sam]

That sounds sexy. :eek

[Sam]

A couple of nights ago I watched Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People!


Mushroom people are freaky to me. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finally watched Disco Godfather. It wasn't very good. Dolemite and Human Tornado were way better. Disco Godfather felt more like an after school special. The last ten minutes were just torture.

The film starred Rudy Ray Moore and Julius Carry

R.I.P

[Guitar Woman]

Strange Brew.

Glorious testament to the bravery and lifestyle of the Canadian man

[TheBigMan045]

Sex Drive. Funny in parts and the GTO is an awesome car to do a road trip in, and the talking donut costume is fuckin funny just watch it for that

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Strange Brew.

Glorious testament to the bravery and lifestyle of the Canadian man

I think I still have my Bob and Doug McKenzie talking figures somewhere. I really want to watch SCTV now.

[WhiteRat]

Bug.

I had never even heard of this movie before I watched it but I was pleasantly surprised. Clever how they tied all the characters together.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

More stand-up comedy but I'm watching John Leguizamo's Sexaholics again :)

[MetalMilitia]

Body of Lies - A competent thriller but nothing special. Good performance from DiCaprio but Russell Crowe annoyed me.

Gran Torino - Finally got around to watching this and loved it. Eastwood is really great, though he kind of reminded me of Hank Hill

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

My Bloody Valentine: 3d (Except the theater only showed it in 2D when we went.)

Wow was this ridiculous. It would have been better if I would have went when they were still showing it in 3d. All these other people in the theater were getting upset at me and my sister who were sitting toward the back.

We just kept exclaiming "Ahhhhh, this would be in 3D right now!"

I did really enjoy the way the flick opened too.

[Sam]

I watched the live action version of Devilman and it fucking sucked and was one and a half hours too long. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Bad times, usually live action versions of things are terrible. I remember watching a live studio version of Cutey Honey before. :(

[Sam]

Ugh. :(

[RaNkeri]

Max Payne :(

[Babs]

Well here's 3 movies I just watched. Story of Ricky, Return of the Living Dead, and just finished Mallrats.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I liked Return2 when they have the Zoombies running down the street.

[Kitsa]

Pineapple Express. It was a big chunk of mediocre pot-comedy interrupted by hilarious Borat-style fight scenes.

[Babs]

The more I watch that movie the less I like it, it's one of those films that are good to watch only once.

[MetalMilitia]

Paul Blart: Mall Cop - I'm one of those crazy people that actually quite liked King of Queens and think that Kevin James is pretty funny, even when he's in completely shit films like Chuck and Larry. As such I was willing to check out Paul Blart: Mall Cop despite it's dubious reviews and I'm glad I did. It's certainly not breaking any new ground so far as comedy goes and there are some rather stupid elements to the film but overall I enjoyed it.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - Again I watched this film purely for the fact that I like Michael Cera. It reminded me a lot of Lost in Translation to be honest, which is good because I like Lost in Translation. I think it's a slightly better film than Juno, but that could just be because I don't like Ellen Page. Cera's performane is as good as usual. I don't know what it is he does but he has some strange ability to make lines like "I promise you sir, this is not a taxi" hilarious.
Anyway, it's worth a watch.

[Kitsa]

We watched Friday the 13th part 2 last night.

It's hilarious how long they took to figure out what Jason was/did. Especially in Part 2 where he gets kicked in the balls.

The bf actually thought Jason X was called "Jason Goes to Space", which I like better because it puts a madcap muppet-caper spin on it.

[Tadao]

I like Kevin James, he stand up show has funny too. I'm sure mall cop is just fine on a lazy day.

[Fathom Zero]

Bug.

I had never even heard of this movie before I watched it but I was pleasantly surprised. Clever how they tied all the characters together.

I already know the twists of the plot, but is it gross?

[pac-man]

Religulous. Funny and thought provoking; I'm always impressed by Bill Maher's broad knowledge of many religions. But it's a preaching to the choir type ordeal. If you agree you'll like it; if you don't you won't and would likely dismiss it sight unseen.

[kahljorn]

I watched nosferatu three times in a row :( IM SO LAME.

SO LAME.

[RaNkeri]

Man, Nosferatu is awesome :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The Core again. You'd think I would just leave it alone by now.

[Kitsa]

Where the Buffalo Roam- I'm not sure whose Hunter S. Thompson I like better. I think Bill Murray's is better going on voice alone, but Johnny Depp was better with expressions and mannerisms. Both actors' attitude problems reputedly date to their character study of Hunter S. Thompson. Great writer and interesting guy overall, but he spawned this disease of wannabes who can't differentiate drugged-out insanity from pathetic deliberate wackiness.

American Splendor- I really like Harvey Pekar. Paul Giamotti was perfect for the role.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0akXKxbflM

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I have to finish watching American Splendor. I tried watching it with my ex-girlfriend and she fell asleep. We are no longer dating.

[Babs]

I indulged myself in Sleepaway Camp 2. It's a true cheese fest but that's what I'm looking for.

[MetalMilitia]

Teen Sex Comedy #2141 (Sex Drive) - Not the worst film ever with a few amusing parts but otherwise a by the numbers teen sex comedy.

Burn after Reading. It had its funny points but was a little disappointing overall. A lot of the time, I thought Brad Pitt was trying to do a French Stewart impression.

I was completely unprepared when he got shot. Not that I'm against Brad Pitt getting shot, but it changed the tone of everything. I know the Coen brothers can go dark, but there wasn't a big "format change" like that in Fargo or Big Lebowski. A dark movie was a dark movie and a comedy was a comedy. Anyway, it was jarring.

Edit: My mother recommended "Delta Farce". I left halfway through. Wacky redneck hijinks are not my thing.

[King Hadas]

Apocalypse Now: I'm no master of movie madness but I'm pretty sure this is the greatest movie ever made.

[WhiteRat]

Burn after Reading. It had its funny points but was a little disappointing overall. A lot of the time, I thought Brad Pitt was trying to do a French Stewart impression.


I didn't expect the movie to be as dark as it was, but I was thoroughly entertained.

[RaNkeri]

Casablanca

[Tadao]

Just watched Bill Maher's Religulous. It was great, but I was hoping he would talk to Jehovah Witnesses. He didn't and I'm sharing this movie with my mommy who is a JW. She doesn't have the same beliefs that all the nut jobs on this film have, so I guees she's not that bad. :rolleyes

[Kitsa]

My ex-in-laws were JWs. UGH.


Watched Girl, Interrupted again (I own the DVD), which goes down in Kitsa history as the only movie Angelina Jolie was good in and the only Whoopi Goldberg movie that Whoopi didn't ruin.

Then Friday the 13th, which I expected to be better than it ended up being.

[MetalMilitia]

Pulp Fiction - I've seen this film so many times but I still love it.

Kill Bill part 2 - Another decent film. My favourite part is the kung-fu training sequence.

[pac-man]

Kill Bill vol. 2 > Kill Bill vol. 1

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The World Is Not Enough. It's still good but I remember liking it more when it came out.

The ending line "I thought Christmas only comes once a year" while he's sexting Christmas Jones is amazing. I hate how in the videogame ending on N64 it was changed to "Merry Christmas" instead.

Watching Pootie Tang right now.

[RaNkeri]

The 1994 Frankenstein

[pac-man]

The one with De Niro? Great flick.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Friday the 13th remake. It was okay. I was actually expecting it to be pretty terrible.

[Esuohlim]

Sex Drive. It was ok I guess, I don't know.

[pac-man]

Into the Wild Green Yonder. The Futurama DVDs have all just been long episodes; there hasn't been a big focus on continuity between them or a story arch to tie them all together. They've introduced new characters and built upon the canon of the series without getting away from the strengths of the series. So, Wild Green Yonder is another hilarious episode of Futurama, full of references and jokes tailor made for videogame nerds and sci-fi fanboys. It waits until very late in the proceedings to acknowledge that it's the very last Futurama we're likely to see, and by then there's no time to reflect; probably for the best as a long goodbye wouldn't have been nearly as hilarious as this was.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Did you get a burned copy? I want to see Into the Wild Green Yonder bad. I heard they finally

Introduce the number guy and why he's important to the Futuram story.

[pac-man]

Don't expect any earth shattering revelations, but yeah he's got a big role.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Damn, I read that he was supposed to be really significant to the Futurama universe but also that the writers were happy if that was the last of Futurama.

P.S

Hopefully it's not.

[Babs]

I just got done watching Friday the 13th part 3 and the Final Chapter.

[Tadao]

Quarantine. I was ok until halfway though it when I realized I was bored and not nervous at all. I decided to watch the end even though at this point I could care less. It really is a shitty movie.

[Sam]

I watched Choke and I liked it! :eek

[kahljorn]

I watched burn after reading and it made me kinda depressed :(

[Kitsa]

Was the closet scene a surprise?

[kahljorn]

i read your spoiler :(, but i didn't expect it to happen when he was smiling like a gentle jackass.

all the people that are worth a damn in that movie... and the ones who aren't...

lol though, "THE RUSSIANS?"

[Kitsa]

I just rented a bunch of 2-for-$1 Asian Extreme shit. I'll report back.

[pac-man]

Body of Lies. Good flick, nice tension, pacing, and acting. Definitely represents the higher end of post-9/11 terrorist movies.

[Sam]

I AM ABOUT TO WATCH "HOT ROD."

IT'S NOT PORNO. :rolleyes

[electric ninja]

I watched Hot rod a few days ago, I enjoyed it.
um, that was a big hill

[Kitsa]

i read your spoiler :(, but i didn't expect it to happen when he was smiling like a gentle jackass.


Yeah, I didn't expect it either. I'm sure they did it on purpose, to jerk it abruptly out of wacky and make it really dark and sad :/

Especially how we were looking at it almost first-person immediately beforehand.

[WhiteRat]

Choke

If you've read the book, you'll definitely be disappointed by the ending. They basically just cut out a huge part of it for reasons that I don't know.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Is it worth reading?

[Kitsa]

The Signal. Jaysus was it some stupid shit.

I don't know why, but every time I see AJ Bowen, I think he's Ryan Reynolds with a bushy beard.

There was only one really quality kill, but even that just turned out to be a dream sequence. Glad I only paid 50 cents to rent it for a week.

[kahljorn]

choke is a horrible book. What the hell is with all of his characters going to support groups and acting like they are cool anarchist types? It's so fucking typical and annoying. i bet he writes his stories while wearing sun glasses.

[RaNkeri]

Spawn

It was ok, hasn't aged well

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I love John Leguizamo but I'm not even sure if he liked this movie.

[WhiteRat]

choke is a horrible book. What the hell is with all of his characters going to support groups and acting like they are cool anarchist types? It's so fucking typical and annoying. i bet he writes his stories while wearing sun glasses.

I didn't see any parallels between the guy in Fight Club and Victor in choke, but that's just me. And for the record, I didn't even like Fight Club.

[RaNkeri]

Robocop

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched part of Rambo: First Blood: Part Two with my roommate who hasn't seen it. I made him watch the part where Rambo finally takes out the one soldier with a explosive tip arrow that has been dogging him up till that point in the movie.

[kahljorn]

Maybe its just me then.

[Fathom Zero]

Early screening of the Watchmen. Aces.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I want to see the Watchmen.

Watched the beginning of Hook last night. Going to finish it tonight. I love me some Bob Hoskins.

A minor note, the kid from hook is the same "The Kid" from Dick Tracy and also the nerd kid from can't hardly wait......he might be in Congress right now.....for real.

[pac-man]

And let's not forget his memorable role in What About Bob

[executioneer]

i saw taken and it almost gave me a heart attack and a seizure at the same time, good thing i stopped drinking caffeine a while back

[Kitsa]

why?

[RaNkeri]

Robocop 2

[WhiteRat]

i saw taken and it almost gave me a heart attack and a seizure at the same time, good thing i stopped drinking caffeine a while back

Just saw this a few minutes ago. Definitely lived up to my expectations.

[Cherry Nirvana]

Pineapple Express - LOVED IT! Definitely going to buy it.

[electric ninja]

I just watched Space balls with some mates, I was the only one who found it funny.

[Babs]

Wet Hot American Summer, i love it.

[Zebra 3]

Stauffenberg ('04)(TV) - The German historical war drama on a plot to kill Hitler which doesn't star the little gay spaceman Tom Cruise.

[bigtimecow]

the life aquatic and chasing amy

got both for my birthday and haven't seen them in years. i appreciate the life aquatic a lot more now; when i first saw it i don't think i really understood a lot of the contextual and dry humor (being like... 16?). but chasing amy is still wonderful

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I went to go watch Life Aquatic two days ago and my copy is missing. Did you get my copy for your birthday?

Wet Hot American Summer is a great movie. I still like The Ten better though but only slightly.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched the new Futurama movie last night. I liked it but need to watch it again. We were drinking and playing Monopoly. I won.

[Tadao]

I just watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

[WhiteRat]

Watchmen

Not for the general public, as it seemed that most of the people who walked out of the theatre were saying it was terrible and they didn't understand it.

I loved it and would probably go see it again.

[Kitsa]

The Wrestler.

Infuckingcredibly good.

I've got a very good stomach for gore real and fake, but there was one particular scene that made me and the bf squirm like fucking pansies.

[pac-man]

They Live. As always, it's the best fucking movie ever.

[Babs]

hahaha I just watched they live not to long ago on like stars or some shit like that. roddy piper coming to kick your ass to put some glasses on your face.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum.....

[Babs]

and i'm all out of bubble gum

[pac-man]

They Live is one of those movies that I almost wish I forgot I saw, so that seeing it again would be like watching it for the first time.

http://theplanninglab.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/06/they_live.jpg

[Babs]

Amazing movie, I can't even get over the fact how amazing it is. But anyways..

Just got done watching Bird with the Crystal Plumage and keep help to point out how bad Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof ripped off a lot of the cinematography and scenes over all. Oh yeah, and some of the films score as well.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Went to see Watchmen. I thought it was a great fucking movie. Admittedly I have not read it before watching it but great stuff nonetheless.

Definitely worth seeing again.

[MetalMilitia]

Role Models - Not bad. Not really as funny as it perhaps could've been considering the subject matter (LARPing) but still a non-offensive comedy.

[Zhukov]

I just watched Wanted, but I am trying to erase that mistake of a movie from my mind, so I will also mention the second last film I saw, which was The Class.

Superb. I loved all of it, and I wanted it to go on for longer. It had me turning in my seat from the RAW EMOTION. It's amazing that something so simple can be so engrossing.

There are some really good films coming out lately, and I've still yet to see Slumdog Millionaire

[kahljorn]

I SAW THE PREVIEW FOR WANTED and knew it would be shit :( that scene where he's like standing in the middle of the road and the car does some moves and suddenly he's sitting in the passenger seat..

i got a boot leg of gran torino and it was pretty awesome :O What the fuck is with that song at the end though when clint eastwood is singing all gruffily? I can't get it out of my head and it was such a ridiculous ending to a great movie.
"MY GRAN TORIIINO"

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Just saw Slumdog....meh. Honestly, didn't care for it in the slightest. It was flat and frantic as well as repetitive. Not to mention a lot of deux ex machina moments. The acting, aside from the young stars, was nothing special. There was a really lazy love story in there as well. The musical numbers were just too much...annoying more than anything else.

Seriously, not a awful movie, but a movie I would watch again.

[Babs]

Just watched Story of Ricky again, I'm obsessed.

[kidneyboy]

Tonight I watched Return of the Living Dead and Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning. Not a bad night!

[MetalMilitia]

Punisher: Warzone - I pretty much hated everything about the 2006 film so I was a bit reluctant to check out this one, but I'm glad I did. Aside from some awful acting (though Stevenson was good) and a really rather poor storyline (also terrible dialogue) the film delivered buckets of gore and action which is really all you can ask for in a film life this.

[kahljorn]

DID YOU GUYS HEAR THE SONG AT THE END OF GRAN TORINO?
SERIOUSLY IT WILL NOT EXIT MY HEAD.

[Babs]

GOD DAMN STORY OF RICKY AGAIN!!! NOW I HATE IT

[kahljorn]

IM WATCHING NOSFERATU FOR PROLLY THE SEVEN HUNDRETH TIME THIS MONTH SO DONT FEEL TOO BAD :(

I watched solaris last night though that movies fucking awesome :(

[kahljorn]

not the one with george clooney
NOT THE ONE WITH GEORGE CLOONEY
NOT THE ONE WITH GEORGE CLOONEY
PLEASE TRY AGAIN IN FIVE SECONDS

[Kitsa]

Dammit Babs, watch Untold Story or Ebola Syndrome or something.

[Babs]

I think I'm going to have check out this so called Ebola syndrome, sounds pretty pleasing to eyes if I don't say so.

[Kitsa]

It's quite an amazing movie. It may -almost- make you sick. It's not as bad as "The Untold Story". But it's pretty close.

Imagine heads being ripped off chickens, frogs being gutted alive, a man who looks eerily like Tadao masturbating into steaks he's cooking at a restaurant, and that same man raping a dying ebola patient.

Aside from the animal cruelty, I was pretty impressed by this movie.

[kahljorn]

sounds a lot like pink flamingo :(

[Kitsa]

Nah, it's not the same. John Waters is a different creature altogether, Pink Flamingos is kind of over-the-top campy. I mean, so are the ones I was talking about, but it's not the same kind of campy.

Ichi the Killer gets close, but it's way more structured.

I'd put Ebola Syndrome and Untold Story in a category all their own. Riki-oh is about as close as you can get, which is why I recommended them to him.

[kidneyboy]

watched Coming to America and Used Cars earlier, now it's late and I'm high, so I popped in Class of Nuke 'em High for a good time.

[MetalMilitia]

The X Files - I want to believe: Awful film. I don't like the x-files in general but this was so ridiculous.

[kahljorn]

Imagine heads being ripped off chickens, frogs being gutted alive, a man who looks eerily like Tadao masturbating into steaks he's cooking at a restaurant, and that same man raping a dying ebola patient.

I meant that some of the events sound similar. Divine wears a steak in her panties and goes for a walk to marinade it, then later cooks it. Her brother fucks that girl with the chicken in between them, and snaps its neck in the process.

[Kitsa]

Oh. Well, then, yeah.

[kahljorn]

;o

have any of you guys ever seen Solaris?

AND WHY HASNT ANYBODY COMMENTED ON THE SONG AT THE END OF GRAN TORINO WTF THAT SONG WAS HILARIOUS BUT HORRIBLE SO HORRIBLE...

[MetalMilitia]

Far Cry - The problem I have with most game-films is that they often completely change the storyline from the original game so the only people that could conceivably care about the film - fans of the game - get nothing from it. Far Cry is a text-book example of this. I mean yeah, it's a bad film and there wasn't ever any real question of this (being that it's a Boll film) but it has gone from being a relatively decent Island of Dr Moreau rip-off to being a generic action film about super soldiers or some bollocks.
The acting is some way between moderate and very very bad and it has quite possibly the worst sex scene of any film ever.

[Kitsa]

I watched part of "Still Waiting". It had its moments and I would have watched the whole thing had time permitted, but it was a lousy sequel. The majority of the original cast had the good sense to stay away; the funniest people were long-gone, and the people who remained tried to crank it over the top to step into those shoes.

The character who took over Ryan Reynolds' part (different name, same persona) was no Ryan Reynolds.

I kept thinking the new manager was William H Macy. It looked like William H Macy with dark hair.

All in all it was one of those movies that you know isn't any good, but it entertains you enough that you shrug and put down the remote.

[MetalMilitia]

Transporter 3 - Same as last two really. Decent action film but nothing special.

[Babs]

THE BURBS!!!!

who hearts Mr. Petterson?

[Kitsa]

Religulous.

It was okay. It wasn't blow-you-away-fantastic and profound like it was made out to be, at least not in my opinion.

If religion is the opiate of the masses, I think that (in the case of the pacifists, at least), they should be allowed to take their opium if it makes them feel better. I don't feel inclined to ridicule people for not believing the same thing I do. If they're not hurting anyone, I don't care.

I realize that toward the end he was speaking more of the non-pacifist religions. But good luck eradicating religion from the world, Bill. If it happened it'd probably end up like the battling atheist (agnostic?) otters on South Park.

The Dead or Alive movie was actually pretty good. Other than that most VG based movies are terrible.

[Babs]

ok so it goes in this order

Story of Ricky (YOU KNOW I LOVE THIS GOD DAMN MOVIE)

The 'Burbs

Wet Hot American Summer

Shit, I'm starting to see a pattern in my movies now. I love this.

I've recently been getting the hook up on free movies too. Stores let me buy any VHS tapes for 99 cents no matter what price they are and 2 of my friends are managers at a pretty decent video store. FREE SHIT IS AMAZING ESPECIALLY WHEN GET TO CHOOSE!

[kahljorn]

lol i like how in the synopsis of Religulous it says, "Raised catholic but really half-jew" :lol

im sure movies like this appeal to dipshits about as readily as that one about creationism/evolution.

[MetalMilitia]

Marley & Me: I think it was Kitsa that said films about dogs are predicable because the dog always dies... well at the risk of spoiling this film...

the dog dies

anyway, the storyline wasn't really interesting and Jennifer Aniston looks old and portly. Wouldn't recommend anyone watch this unless they really like puppies (Tadao).

Killshot: Directed by John Madden...

John Madden, the American football guy?

John Madden?

Well needless to say this wasn't a good film. It did have a genuinely potentially interesting plot but it was ruined though poor direction and just bad film making. It was just "meh". Watch The Wrestler instead.

[kahljorn]

Eh, Jennifer Aniston was never good lookin anyway.

at least now she can be one of those homely faced old ladies who brings you cookies o rsomethhin. that's where her agent should be taking her thats all ill say

[Babs]

Sassy Shemales 7

[kahljorn]

unfunny guy on imockery 8

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The Last Dragon - Who's the baddest MoFo of a movie? Sho'Nuff!

[Esuohlim]

I saw Wanted last night. It was brainless fluff and very heavy-handed (PIECES OF CLOTH WITH SECRAT CODES)

[Babs]

what the hell? I really did watch sassy shemales 7 you prick!!!

[kahljorn]

oh llol sorry didn't sound like something they'd actually make a porno out of sassy shemale faces are usually annoying.

[Tadao]

NO KIDDING!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The old ones at least.
