I ordered Pan's Labyrinth off NetFlix the other day and am patiently awaiting its arrival. I need to see that movie.

Yes, you do.

As for me, I can't seem to find the Special Edition DVD anywhere. I mean, it wasn't even that popular of a movie, but everywhere I go... it is outie 5000. Annoying!

Just saw Hot Fuzz. It met and (surprisingly) exceeded my expectations. Not only was it funny, but it transcended a mere parody by becoming an excellent example of the genre it was lampooning in the first place (just like Shaun of the Dead). In fact, despite my passionate love of zombies, I think I enjoyed Hot Fuzz even more than Shaun. The plot was more... engrossing, I guess.

I just saw Pan's Labyrinth and it was probably one of the best movies I've ever seen.

LadySlig 05-25-2007 02:34 AM

I never heard of "Pans Labyrinth" I'm more for...'nice' movies, like 'the notebook' and the like.

OddjobAbe 05-25-2007 11:28 AM

Just seen Jason X. Don't like his futuristic hockey mask. My favorite in the series is Friday the 13th Part III.

Slig 7665 05-25-2007 11:35 AM

I saw spiderman 3 and got the game and I find them both great.

Chubfish 05-25-2007 11:40 AM

I'm ABOUT to see Pirates of the Carribean 3, at worlds end, for my b'day party next day, and after that day it will actually be my birthday! YAY!

Rex Tirano 05-25-2007 03:34 PM

I swear to god if anyone spoils POTC3 for me I will ban them. *Can't go see it for a few weeks due to having no money*

POTC3 - 8/10

Better than the second.

Nemo 05-26-2007 01:38 PM

I just saw...

Pirates of the Carribbean Three: At World's End.
Very goodly,
Funny at a lot of parts,
Actiony at a lot of parts,
More of Davy Jones and the fish people,
Johnny Depp having hallucinations.



SPOILERS! FOR SERIOUSLY!




Minus one point for Elizabeth becoming the Pirate King


[/SPOILR'D]



8/10

Dracula’s Ex 05-26-2007 02:19 PM

Uhh, I'm gonna go see POTC...I like 'old' movies like that...Anyone see Van Helsin? Didnt like the werewolves ears, too high.

Nate 05-26-2007 05:16 PM

...

That's what you didn't like from that turgid, overloud pile of poo? The only good thing in that movie was Richard Roxburgh as Dracula.

Paramite of War 05-27-2007 07:54 AM

Well I saw Pirates and I didn't like it when I was sure I would. Also I saw 28 weeks later and omg did it suck. I mean it wasn't even like a zombie movie it was more like a drama that happened to be because of zombies.

I've only seen this one Jason film ('Jason X) and I thought it was fairly wonderful. The retro music was EXTREME.

Aaaand I've seen PotC 3. Now, I adore this series, absolutely adore it. And this third flick was exceptional, gorgeous stuff. The death scene of one villian was just sheer poetry (you'll know who I'm talking about once you've seen it).

I thought it was amazing and, like the 2nd one, ABSOLUTELY NOT TOO LONG.

Patrick Vykkers 05-27-2007 02:51 PM

Saw it last night. 9/10.

Pan's Labyrinth - 10/10

Damn, that film almost made me cry. Awsome fantastic creatures too. Del Toro does it again.

Technically, that's because it's not a zombie movie.

OANST 05-28-2007 08:20 AM

I saw Spiderman 3. I wish I could have that 2 1/2 hours back. There are so many things I could do. For instance.....

Dance on broken glass.
Eat the worm at the bottom of a tequila bottle.
Tell a dirty joke.
Smoke crack.
Build a time machine and go back in time to abort Patrick Vykkers smarmy, stupid life.
Rape an elderly man.
Rape a retarded man.
Rape an elderly, retarded man.
See Spiderman 3.
Urgh. Now I'm confused.

mitsur 05-28-2007 08:44 AM

Finally got around to watching the finale of 24.

The ending made me feel bad for Jack. Poor guy has saved the country six times and people still shit all over him.

I give it a 10/10 because endings rarely have me feeling any emotion like 24 did.

SeaRex 05-28-2007 08:15 PM

Saw PotC3 today. I must say, it was my favorite one so far. The first two felt a little disjointed at times (although they were still very enjoyable movies), but this one was very clear as far as plot direction and character motivations go. Great writing, great plot, and great comic relief. Just a good piece of spectacle.

And really entertaining characters as well. Of course there's Jack, but Davy Jones, Captain Barbossa (who was probably my favorite character in the whole movie), and the other Pirate Lord characters really stood out as well. Even Will Turner wasn't so bad. However, despite the fact that she was such a pivotal plot element, I really didn't care about Elizabeth. Her character felt so flat and uninteresting.

And also...

MAJOR SPOILERS.





OK. The Calypso scene: stupid as Hell. I commend the writers for not taking the cliché "let's make Elizabeth Calypso reincarnated" path, but c'mon. A giant lady that turns into crabs? Stupid, stupid, stupid. Make her all screamy and then explode into a giant burst of water or something else that makes sense and doesn't require lame giant growth.

Still, I loved the fact that Will dies. Not many franchises would have the balls to kill off one of the main characters, and I salute PotC for that. Plus, it was just handled really well. So that kinda almost makes up for the Calypso travesty.

And finally, I actually didn't mind that Elizabeth became the Pirate King. It made sense; her becoming King was the only way for Jack to get what he wanted.






END SPOILERS.

Rex Tirano 05-29-2007 03:27 PM

Thank you so much Nemo and SeaRex for your spoiler lable warning thingies. I shalt now love you forever and always. Continue to keep up the goodwork!

I saw the series finale of Lost on Sunday. Oh my. How excited. I don't think I want to wait another year for the next series. Best ending to a series. Ever.

I don't know how they're going to keep it going until 2010 though... :S

Nemo 05-29-2007 03:49 PM

Anytime, Rexy.


*Bows and steps quietly into the darkness*
















Blast, now I'm in the mood for a roleplaying game.

OddjobAbe 05-30-2007 12:33 PM

Last night, I watched Jason Takes Manhattan. I know what you're thinking. 'Will he shut up about "Friday the 13th"?'

It was quite good. Didn't kill people with his machete though. He didn't kill as many people as usual, either.

snuzi 05-31-2007 12:14 PM

Yes yes yes! I finally saw Pan's Labyrinth! It was fantastic! Even better than I expected! The ending was awfully sad though.

I'm currently in love with Metalocalypse. I can't believe I didn't know of it earlier! I don't even know if it's playing on TV here yet.

Last thing I saw at the movies was Jackass 2, which was brilliant of course. I'm looking forward to Borat and The Prestige getting here.

the last movie i seen was jackass 2 it was awsome and hilarous *laughs* I watched borat it was freakin hilarous!

Edit: Also:
Sacred mudokon, stop posting things like "i g2g bye..." and "..............................." This isn't a chat where you can do things like that.

OddjobAbe 05-31-2007 01:11 PM

Sorry for going off topic, but what does 'i g2g bye...' mean?

Rex Tirano 05-31-2007 01:58 PM

I just saw PotC3, and TBH I don't know whether I liked it or not... Alot of it was hilarious though, mainly due to the writing. A much better film than the second.

Spoilers Coming up! Warning! Spoilers!




SO they've basically set up yet another PotC film, for Jack to go after the fountain of life/youth/whatever. How silly.

Like SeaRex I didn't mind that Elizabeth became the pirate king althought I thought it was going to be Jack who became the pirate king [I could see Elizabeth voting for him you see].

I didn't like the Calypso thing. Again, great that it wasn't Elizabeth but yeah... It took me ages to realize it was crabs that she turned into. I just thought it was barnicles or something, only when Pintel shook the crab off his nose did I get what they actually were.

I loved the line "Mister Gibbs you may throw my hat if you wish" *Gibbs throws the hat* "Now go get it!" Heehee. :D




End of spoilers!

Lat night, I saw Wild Hogs. It was great. Really, really funny. A lot better than I expected.

Dracula’s Ex 05-31-2007 10:30 PM

Ha, I like horror and thrillers. 28 days later and 28 weeks later was enjoyable. So was Serenity. Hide and seek, and The Plague were good as well. Anyone see those?
