Die Hard 4.0. It follows the traditional action movie formula of "Into-Brief action-Dialogue-Action-Sex scene¹-Dialogue-Action-End".

I enjoyed it. It may not have been great, but I got what I expected: action and surreal fight scenes.

¹optional.

Just watched Toy Story 3. Fucking loved it.

V for Vendetta. God I love that movie.

Repo! The Genetic Opera. I very much enjoyed it, but I can certainly see how the Hot Topic crowd would exploit it. I'm glad I remained blissfully ignorant of that though, because it probably would have cheapened the film for me.

The Road. I liked it a lot, despite some differences from the book.

Which differences bothered you?

The Crazies. It was more or less exactly what I expected it would be. I did enjoy the ending.

Despicable Me. It was a cute, run-of-the-mill family film. The kitten booklet thing was almost sickeningly adorable. The part at the end with the unicorn book... well... I doubt I was the only adult in the theater that entertained the idea of him putting his you-know-what through that hole.

I just re-watched the original crazies and now I'm debating watching the remake. It looks fun and all, but you just can't top classic Romero.

I seemed to remember the 'narratives' The Man being different in the book, and how it turns out the whole family was following them at the end seemed....unnecessary.

Re-read the end of the book. They dumbed it down and blatantly explained it in the film, but the Man's mistrust of people in general prevented the family from intervening sooner. In the book the boy sees one of their kids at one point, and they hear their dog at another, at which point the Man gets paranoid and makes them hurridly move on.

It's all classic McCarthy, really. He aims to depress, and he always succeeds. The only giant difference I noticed was the over abundance of flashbacks featuring the wife. There should have been three at most, and very short ones at that. Otherwise it was a beautiful adaptation and I'm happy to own both the film and book.

Agreed.

It got the same treatment the "Dead" remakes got. Updated plot, over-the-top make-up, and lots of garish blue/orange color contrast.

DUDE, me too! you have to read the comic book next it's so different!

A long, long time ago, I once saw a film called Surf Ninjas. It was a crappy, early 90's, Rob Schneider, ninja film. I didn't remember much about it, but the other day I was flipping through channels and came across it. The first thing that I noticed that I hadn't been aware of when I saw it as a kid, was that it has the guy who played Willie Loomis on Dark Shadows in it. I fucking love Willie Loomis, so I decided to watch the whole thing.

The movie is bad. The dialogue is terrible, and the acting is even worse. So, I never expected to laugh, which is why when the one section of this film that actually is funny came up, it caught me completely by surprise, and had me bending over, gagging, with lemonade dripping from my nose. Now, without further ado, I present to you: MONEY CAN'T BUY KNIVES.

By different you mean a hundred times better.

Yeah pretty much, I hated how they made the ending so happy in the film and how they portrayed V as a "good guy" but I probable never would've read the comic without having seen the movie.

The best line in that movie "One thing is true of all governments – their most reliable records are tax records." lmao

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't V For Vendetta.

I would have liked the comic more if the art wasn't god-awful.

Were we reading the same comic graphic novel?

This.
The artwork sucked. But I'm a tough critic, and it's more about the story.

I honestly couldn't imagine reading that story with the art in any other style.

David Lloyd has since grown a bit as an artist, but his style represents everything that I don't like about dark-age comics. You have to understand it's entirely a case of personal taste. I felt the same way about the art of Watchmen as well. The only reason I felt I could let that slide was the irony present in drawing that particular story in such a cliched style.

The only art I've really hated in any must have graphic novels I've obtained is The Dark Knight Returns. I can barely stand that pile of overhyped shit without the stinky artwork.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Frank Miller's artwork myself. Sin City was okay though, if not purely for some of the clever lighting techniques he used.

I have just seen "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World".

Older than pretty much everyone here (1963), but dang was it good.

Saw Inception in the theater. Interesting movie, somewhat complicated story but very enjoyable.

Just watched that animated film Bee Movie.

It's...odd. It definitely doesn't feel like a kids' film, but it's still a kids' film?

I dunno. The humour made me smile a few times though.

Inception! God damn I wanna see that again it was great and it had the new Tron Legacy trailer before it!!!

The Sorcerers Apprentice. I liked it I guess, I mean, it wasn't a masterpiece or anything, but I liked it.

Saw Inception. It was pretty good, it made me think without being pretentious. The 5-layer thing was done pretty well, I liked how they kept cutting between realities. I saw the Dom Cobbs (terrible name)-did-inception-on-his-wife thing coming a mile off, but it didn't stop me enjoying the film. Also <3 gravity switches.

I'd have to see it more than once to form a proper opinion on it, but it's the closest thing we're going to get to Psychonauts: The Movie.

Watched Wolf Man. It was alright. I liked the atmosphere and style.

Oh, and Clash of the Titans and The Men Who Stare at Goats.

To Hell with CotT. Fancy puppet show with Sam Worthjackshitington. MWSaG was meh. It seemed silly and rather overrated to me. Did have its funny moments, though.
