So yeah, 4 days later (you guys really need to watch some movies, geez).
I saw Pacific Rim - enjoyed it - It's kinda corny, but the battles are awesome, and it's the closest you'll get to a live action Anime flick probably any time soon. 3.5/5
Jarhead (2005) - Excellent film. By the director of American Beauty (on of my all time favorites, and Skyfall). Definitely a film that has gotten better over time. 5/5
Kinsey (2004) - Awesome film about Dr. Alfred Kinsey, who taught at Indiana University, and basically modernized how the world thought/felt about sex. Liam Neeson is always good. 5/5
I think that about catches me up for now! :wacko:
I watched Charlie Chaplin's classic "The Great Dictator" on a local TV channel. I almost died of laughter!
Kill Bill, Vol. 1 -- Watched this for the first time ever just the other day. Mindless, bloody & gory fun, par for the course for Mr. Tarantino. Recommend, but don't expect anything deeply cerebral.
Looper -- The trailer, as always, is lying to you, don't expect JGL and Bruce Willis to team up and kick ass, in fact, they spend most of their time kicking each other's. The protagonist and antagonist are the same guy, but it's noin that regard; again, nothing deeply cerebral, but worth a watch for the unique idea.Spoiler warning:
^Not sure what trailers you saw for Looper, but the trailer clearly states they are the same person, since that's like, the whole point of the movie.... Maybe pay closer attention to trailers from now on??
Caught Club Dread tonight - it's no Super Troopers, but it's still pretty funny. Bill Paxton is classic in the movie, and it's a pretty good gut punch to the horror movie stereotypes. 3/5
Saw Pacific Rim last week and it was good, but I found some of the action very hard to follow. Might be the IMAX's fault, I dunno. I'll have to re-watch this when it's on DVD.
I agree with Flavaflave here, hell they even modify JGL's face to make him appear like a young Bruce Willis.Quote:

I did read your post carefully, and you were making comparisons to Fight Club, suggesting that you weren't aware of them being the same character, and my original point still stands - the trailers never really made it look like they were going to team up at all. Maybe don't try to be such a snarky smart ass next time?Quote:

For god's sake, this is almost an anti-movie.
Yeah, sorry, I was being kind of assy in that last post. For what it's worth there was supposed to be a :wacko: after my little bit about watching the trailer carefully so it's probably my fault it escalated anyway. Besides, if I truly didn't like you I wouldn't have helped you out :wacko:Quote:

The Wolverine.
Although they took some liberties (again, seems to be a constant in FOX's Marvel universe..) when introducing some characters, the result was much better than Origins. But that wasn't too hard, right? :wacko:
Don't miss the stinger! :O (can't wait for Days of Future Past)
The Heat, Man of Steel, Evil Dead, Source Code, The Thing, The Amazing Spiderman, and Scary movie 4.
I'm definitely loving my hbo atm
Wreck-It Ralph. Pretty cute. ^^;;; Although I seriously cry at eeeeeeeeverything these days, and it's embarrassing. :'D
Does Wolverine lead up to some climactic ending involving the Avengers? Because that's what most Superhero movies are doing right now, and fuck I miss wolverine in the AvengersQuote:

It's not.Quote:

Hence why they had off brand Skrulls and why they had to be very careful about avoiding the word "mutant". Which I believe a ridiculously long legal battle had reached the conclusion that it's okay to use the word "mutant" but not to go into much detail about mutation (since that's X-Men territory).
The post credits scene leads to.. something, but it's X-Men related being Wolvie a mutant and all, nothing to do with the Avengers.Quote:

The funny part is that, apparently, they would leave his sister, Susan, white, which makes a lot of sense :wacko:Quote:

Garfield said he wouldn't mind if Peter were gay, so yeah, you are onto something :wacko:
Maybe her superpower is having white privilege. :wacko: Or he`s adopted and no one loves him. Which would explain why he`s the black sheep of the family. :wacko:Quote:

In a related story Garfield states that the villain of SM2 should be a Monday instead of Blue-Man-Group reject Electro. Somehow I agree with the cartoon cat.
As for the gay thing, it would explain a lot actually. The leotards, the catty wisecracks, the constant bemoaning of the fashion sense of others, his overcompensating, the way he`s way too attached to his mother figure. It can work.
Or they just cut out the middleman and jump into making a Superior Spider-Man film. Octospidey would make for an awesome mincing homosexual (because I`ll be damned if the Doc was actually straight) whilst his mass murdering antics can appease the Batman audience. Which is apparently the only audience that exists these days. Win-Win. :wacko:
I saw Wolverine and it was pretty good, definitely worth seeing in theaters (sorry I didn't wait to watch it with you Ray (small, small tear)) Way better than first class, that was...not very good.
Just hope the movie is at least 3 hours long if they have to explain all that :wacko:Quote:

Better yet, Nermal for the next movie and Mondays to close the trilogy.
Why don't they leave things how they are? What's going to be next, a nazi Spidey? :wacko:
I guess you mean Origins, right? That wasn't too good :oQuote:

Other notable King adaptations are Dead Zone (Walken version), Misery, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile and The Shining (Kubrick version). The rest of his movies are total butt. I dare you to disagree :wacko:
Come on people, watch more movies!!! :wacko:
I watched Lawnmower Man (1992) - 3/5 - It's been a LONG time since I've seen this, and it really is an interesting movie. I didn't like how towards the end the "Lawnmower Man" developed tele-kinetic powers, because I felt the movie was MUCH smarter than that, but all in all it really wasn't that bad. I still have a little trouble believing the town retard has a rock chiseled body though :lol
Tonight I caught Hot Fuzz - somehow I have not seen this movie, even though I'm a big fan of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright - and I thought it was fantastic. 5/5 There's nothing better than a buddy cop movie that knows it's a buddy cop flick, and totally rips off every other buddy cop movie out there.... even going so far as to name drop all the movies, within a movie i.e. Point Break, Bad Boys, Lethal Weapon, etc. Fantastic movie :wacko:
The Wolverine.
Very good. Much much better than that first pile of poo. I'm going to have to watch this one again. This one fits in the top tier of comic movies to come out the last decade.
The stinger was something else that's for sure.
4/5
So I take it some good quality vids are popping up? Time to search....Quote:

Saw Elysium last night. It was alright I suppose, not a huge Matt Damon fan, and the plot was kind of weak. But the SFX were pretty solid.
Recently re-watched some stuff I picked up on Blu-ray:
Casino Royale, then Quantum of Solace.
Alien & Aliens.
DTS-HD MA ftw :]
I saw that as well - I wasn't too crazy about it either. I really didn't care for District 9 all that much TBH, so I kind of knew what to expect when going into this one.Quote:

And Ashton Kutcher is just a hack - plain and simple. He can't engage me in any movie I've ever seen him in.
Are you saying you didn't like Dude, Where's My Car? ^^;;; But yeah, that aside he hasn't done anything of worth. I don't get how actors like him get famous, it just seems like he's famous for being famous :shrug:
Uhh, on topic. I watched Children on Men the other day. I was kinda let down, considering some really positive reviews I'd heard over the years. It was ok, and had an interesting/different plot. But I found myself annoyed that they created a huge unique world, and didn't bother going into most of it. Maybe there's more books or something :shrug:
Pacific Rim - 6/10 .....so many unanswered questions....
Turbo - 7.3/10 A bit more partial because it's a kids film and stuck with jokes as such, rarely seen anymore, plus the soundtrack is catchy while it's on.
Loking forward to -Jobs, The Butler, and some other movie but i forget it's title :wacko:
