Don't you just hate it when they expire from the effort of trying to write something semi-literate, before they get to the end of the brain fart that is ?

I basically gave up on the post after the part saying War was a good movie anyway.

To be fair RulzM if you would like to explain exactly how War was a good movie and after watching it why I shouldn't have felt like I wanted to hire a surgically altered ex-cop /hitman to kill all involved then please do.

No wait I see he gained access to the invite section so what was I thinking,fait accompli . The chance of him now actually returning here are about the same as that of Jason Statham winning an Oscar.

This can't end well.:no:

I tired to watch a copy of the Fright Night remake that I gleaned off the internet but being sourced from 3D and the encoder being presumably an idiot the thing was too dark to tell what was going on. So I turned it off and just did my best to pretend the whole thing hadn't happened.

I'm pretty sure if I had watched it though I would have been disappointed that in ( almost) three decades since the first one, original thought has been replaced by the equivalent of people jumping out and going "boo" and things blowing up real good .:mellow:

You know what you win, that is the dumbest thing I have ever seen posted in a movie thread yet. There has been some stiff competition since this thread is used to spambomb on the way through to the requisite number of posts to gain access to the invite section, but no you stayed and poured your stupid over us all.

Just in case your day job is as a crashtest dummy, a couple of hints for you: google use the search terms 'stay movie' and you will surprisingly get a series of hits, the first of these hits will be the imdb link (you know the internet movie database) the place where all moronic questions like this are satisfied.

Now if your day job doesn't involve hitting solid objects with your head, you should be ashamed of yourself....

His preparedness to give us a double dose of stupid was foreshadowed in his earlier post (#4371)

I think you meant to say, "I'm frightened by education"

Shockingly only one of the previous two posters has any fear of accusations of spamming.

Contagion. not as good as expected. :(

The Three Mouseketeers Musketeers (2011) - Alexandre Dumas' classic by way of Jules Verne if Jules Verne was a 21st century spastic schoolboy.

A film so epically ill-conceived that as we speak History is desperately trying rewrite itself to remove any previous mention of musketeers just so this movie could never have been made.

On the plus side Justin Chambers is grateful that he will no longer now be viewed as the worst D'Artagnan ever.

Other than that someone clearly forgot to tell the producers that Shanghai Knights wasn't suppose to be taken seriously.:mellow:

Oh course if you thought the Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. was spot on brilliant and swashbuckling requires closed captioning for the thinking impaired or airships or Matrix-like slow motion fight scenes then this is probably just your cup of armagnac.

yesterday I whatched Assasination games not bad

H.P. Lovecraft's: Necronomicon, it was good for a low budget movie

Just got Transformers 3 and might watch it tonight with teh boys. Don't really care about the reviews, I need something to make my eyes jizz.

Last night we sat through 682 minutes (682 / 60 = 11.3666667) worth of Lord of the Rings (Extended BluRay). Have to say this is a fucking masterpiece for this generation (and by the looks of the current titles, possible future generations). Everything from the sets, to the score, to the cinematography, to the acting is just superb (esp. for a early 2000 series)! Not a huge medieval fan but enjoyed LOTR. You could tell that J.R.R Toilkien was trying to force his religious and political views of the mid-1900's into a past setting (middle ages). Still that didn't worry me.

At times the plot felt very coincidental. eg The Two Towers: At the time just before all seems lost, Gandalf comes with remaining army of Westfold. Still it shits over films today by miles! I remember watchign this back in the day and felt very suspenseful, especially the scenes with the Orcs and Merry/Pipin

If I had any gripes with the LOTR series, it would have to be with the rock sets and probably Legolas' performance (felt very cheesy)

Loved the books , hated certain liberties Peter Jackson took with them. Sure you have to cut out a lot but the worst and totally unnecessary obscenity is basically anything that takes place within Minas Tirith.

Btw it's ironic that you feel that Tolkien was "trying to force his religious and political views of the mid-1900's into a past setting". He hated allegory ( said as much regarding C.S. Lewis' books - you want religious overtones try Narnia and Aslan on for size) and was simple trying to tell an epic tale in a world that he created .

I watched Terri last night. I thought it would provide a thoughtful window into the life of a misunderstood kid and serve as a sharp, poignant character study. Unfortunately, Terri and his friends engaged in a number of bizarre actions that were contrary to anything high school students might actually do, and the relationship between Terri and his vice principal was revoltingly romanticized. I don't care how small the town may be, there are professional boundaries that a vice principal (and adult) would never cross with a high school student. The whole thing struck me as unreal, and it was also billed as a drama-comedy; there was no comedy to be found, every scene was a depressing monotone of desperation and isolation.

Well now that likelihood goes up in certain states (where the education is poor and extremely underfunded).

Perhaps, but the candor between the two was sudden and extreme. People tend not to express their deepest feelings of inadequacy and most fragile hopes to others without a fair amount of prior interaction, especially when such interaction is between a volatile authority figure and a severely bullied student who has learned to bury his emotions. The progression from awkward first contact to complete comfort in one another's presence was so abrupt that it seemed forced and unnatural.

I'll take another crack at it. If these two were emotionally damaged and at least 1 of them was superficial, it'd be prime. It might be obvious that I've now switched to being an observer to such a dynamic. It settled just as nonsensical to me while witnessing it amongst my social circle as this movie seems to have unsettled you. I'm now actually pretty curious about this movie, which before now I've never heard of.

The Thing 2011

First things first. This movie is a prequel to the 1982's The Thing. I liked it and the back story was semi-refreshing, but the CGI was horrible and looked about 10 years old. There's a good 10+ human meals to be had during this 100 min movie and the director takes advantage of it. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is just gorgeous with her big brown eyes, her pretty lips and... sorry. Um, um. I was a little disappointed with how fast the story tells you about the alien. There's no imagination to wtf is going on and is literally served to you on a warm plate early on. Unlike the original where you don't really know what's going on until later. I guess that's not too bad for those who've seen the 80's version, but for newcomers it might not be as "thrilling". Lastly, you'll wanna stick around at the end of the film so you can get a brief 2 min continuation into the 1982's The Thing. I liked it and it was worthy of my loot. Mimics, blow torches, and false teeth. 7/10

So the story,special effects,acting,direction and cinematography were worse than the original. So explain to me again the point of this movie?

Because special effects.

Oh, BTW...I watched Cowboys & Aliens the other night.
That's about all I have to say about it.

But there were cowboys and aliens so any chance of a lawsuit has pretty much flown out the window.

Drive, actually, it was best film in this year.

That's not saying much, the films 'in' this year have been a letdown by and large. The Ghost Writer and Inception being two that didn't suck, while I've yet to see Four Lions, which looks promising.

You didn't like Warrior (RT) Artemis?

Apparently Drive is slow but when it gets into gear it's a ripper of a flick, is this true? It's not getting screened here for a while, haven't even seen a trailer or even a poster at the local cinema. We have some "coming soon" posters for Warrior, that looks awesome btw!

A couple of great films this year if I try to recall them. Win Win (2011), Kill the Irishman (2011), X-Men First Class (2011). The last of those surprised me, I thought I was going to hate it, but then the TRS review convinced me to give it a shot. So I don't know whether it was low expectations (which can skew the relative perspective) but it was a great movie.

Errrr....good point, the lights are on but nobody is home right now (at least that is my excuse & I'm sticking to it) :snooty:

TRS = Totally Rad Show? I thought I was the only one on this board to watch Revision 3 shows :\

I'm starting to lean toward TV shows for entertainment. Some series have more substance even though they have 1/4 of the budget ... Terra Nova being an exception :sick:

Yes, the Totally Rad Show. They review shows and movies in a way that I can pick apart what I'll like about it and what will disenchant me. Usually I tend to use it to reinforce my original opinion, but some of their review have gotten me to watch certain shows/movies that I had refused to otherwise. Examples, X-Men, Avatar: the Last Airbender (animated series), and I know there's more. I did stop watching for awhile after seeing Public Enemies, one of the worst fucking movies I've ever seen, and they had all these praises for it.

My views too. Pretty much agree with most of Jeff Cannata opinions.

Anyway, just finished Transformers 3. Yet again, Michael Bay has succeed in making my eyes bobble out of their sockets. Turned off my brain for 2 hours and watched what $195,000,000 (estimated) get's you in the industry. An underwear model and shit blowing up!

I feel Sheila LePoof has the same issue that Vin Diesal has, he tries too hard to act. Although his performance in Eagle Eye was decent, maybe it's Michael Bay's influence?

I guessing that Michael Bay's direction consists entirely of two phrases, "Fuck subtly ,make it bigger" and "Get the second unit to shoot that".
