    Yeah I have to agree, the movies are never as good as the books... @Shiek, got that right.

    LoTR movies have some obvious differences to the books but many of the general ideas are still ok.
    Sure, there are shortcuts, omissions and some hollywood bling thrown in (all to be expected) but they aren't that radically removed from the original theme.

    But having the author say only the title is the same is pretty bad

    Ikr?
    But let's say somehow a close friend who just happened to like that crap roped me along into their browsing.
    I cried my eyes out at how fooled I was. It's been a year since we spoke eye to eye without me bitching about my mental anguish

    I don't even watch the movies anymore, I've just been so disappointed in the past, I've given up.

    What's that.
    Who do I want to kill?
    I'd chose Stephanie personally, she's the indirect cause for my therapist bills
    If only you knew the man who dragged me to that movie....I said it, MAN!!!!

    The only way I'd be dragged to any of those movies is in a body-bag.

    Still, I DID see a couple decent movies in the past few days. Went and saw 2 guns, which was good, and pretty funny. As well as Elysium, which is pretty damn awesome IMO. I had doubts, because of Matt Damon. The movie was really good though.

    I was practically having a lobotomy during the movie so I know that feel

    But I hear nothing but good things about Elysium....Netflix it when it's on their database?

    He's not the worst actor ever, I suppose. I can definitely think of worse. At least it wasn't Keanu Reeves.

    Pirate it before it's on Netflix.

    Seriously though, see it in the theater, it's worth it. I still kick myself for not going and seeing District 9 in the theaters.

    Oh I'm sure, right now it'll be pointless until there's a proper release.

    Uh...I knew that.

    I would, but where I'm at the premiers are kids shows and gay crap.
    can't really get off base on such short notice either, buddy up and all that military jazz.
    So moral is, never go in the military without a set of wheels
