Mickey Rourke's Russian accent.

Urgh. Did not like that film.

The scenes with RDJ being RDJ were pretty good, but they somehow made the character of Iron Man, and the activity of blowing shit up, boring.

Like Michael bay, everything post-Armageddon.

Back to back?

I didn't have the stomach to finish the first.

Yeah, watched 'em both in a row. The first one was hilarious IMO, but the second one was just plain sick...

Everyone else I've spoken to says that, but I think the first one was -okay- and the second one was -good-.

I thought Iron Man 2 had a more complex story and better character development than the first. However, the first one had Jeff Bridges. So there's that.

Watching Lost, middle of season 3 right now. Goddamn, that story just goes deeper and deeper. Never watched a tv series where each and every episode creates more questions than answers.

I thought that was the problem with Lost, I watched it when it started on TV (I was really young though, but anyways) and kept watching it 'till the second season and I really didn't want to watch it anymore just because of the fact that they kept adding new characters like every other episode, they kept making those stupid flashbacks for every character, the season finale(s) were really stupid and etc. I don't know, maybe it gets better in the last seasons...

It doesn't, the plot twists get increasingly dumber and the ending was a huge cop out and revealed nothing of value.

Watching through Season 1 of Weeds again,

For some strange reason, I seem to be enjoying it more that second time round watching it.

Yeah, I found that knowing what was coming made it seem a bit funnier. Apparently the newest season is amazing.

Actually I forgot nearly everything from it, so everything I'm watching so far is kind of a surprise but I am finding it so much better now :)

Only stuff I remembered was SURPRISE SURPRISE were the cool cars, like Conrad's Buick Regal or Nancy's Range Rover P38

Woo! Two and a half pages worth of posts moved to a new thread.



I really hate you guys.

watched All The King's Men, based on fact. the ending almost broke my heart. David Jason, fucking great actor.

A new picture of Bane. (Dark Knight Rises)

He looks alright. Not like a steroid beast he is usually described as, but not a completely skinny guy either.

Oh and I watched a horror movie called Pathology. It was really bad.

EDIT: If the picture doesn't pop up, you can see the picture(s) here

EDIT: Picture broke for me so I reposted. Working now.

There's a shit ton of super HD pictures of him out for weeks now, you just need to know where to look.

That Empire cover is pretty bad ass though.

The movie takes place eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, apparently. Bruce Wayne's getting old, and that's part of what makes Bane so formidable.

I've been watching The Walking Dead, every episode. The second season as a whole is fucking terrible. I mean fucking terrible, not even the biggest zombie addicts would likely find enjoyment from it, since it barely even has zombies at this point. The entire season thus far has avoided any real plot development since the characters have to stick around a farm and do fuck all, but look for a dead little girl. The entirety of one episode seemed to be The Tale of the time the characters try to get a zombie out of a well. Ill probably watch the last episode of the half-season, but I doubt I will watch it when it comes back. It had so much potential and season 1 wasn't near this bad.

^ This.

Every time I tune into the Walking Dead, the episode is usually about half over (I'm not actually following the series). I leave it on anyway because hey, zombies. Wrong. I have not seen a single zombie in what I've seen of season two thus far. They're not even appearing in the promos anymore.

The Graphic Novels aren't much better. They have this habit of being really pointless to follow since any character can die at any time for any reason. Season 2 might be saved by The Prison/Governor saga.

I watched the Perfect Storm.

It still baffles me how people can go and fish in weather like that.

This is why.


The video should start at 14:35, right before they explain it away.

tl;dw it's because you make buttfuck infinity wads of cash.

I was just dragged to see Breaking Dawn.
I feel...unclean.

I started watching the show Weeds. I think it's pretty good, although I'm not far enough into the series yet to give proper judgement. So far, it's just pretty good.

watched Cross Of Iron. watch it. yeah, it's a bit dated now, but watch it anyway. it's fucking brilliant. honest, raw and, even now, a little horrifying. it's about the Germans fighting on the Russian front during WW2. i watched this over a week ago, and i'm still thinking about it. it isn't a blood and guts fest that leaves your mind the moment it ends, you think about it for a while afterwards trying to work out why they did certain things as all is not obvious.

just fucking watch it. i know you won't, though. bastards.

Took Abbey to see The Muppets. It sags a bit in the middle, but the beginning and end are a hell of a lot of fun.

It's funny, I was never really into the Muppets when I was a kid, but the movie has me kinda pumped. Probably going to see it in a few days.

Double post, but for good reason.

Me, Jordan and Stephanie (newest acquisition to our crew) went and saw Arthur Christmas. Is that not ringing any jingle bells? Let me refresh your memory with its stagnant, deplorable and utterly despicable ad-campaign.


You can stop cringing now. The hill begins going upwards rather drastically.

So first of all, with all due respect to Sony Pictures Animation, Aardman, and that shithead who voices over all of these damnable trailers: Fuck that commercial. It's the most plebian, misleading and generally infuriating thing I've ever seen. Multiplied by several trillion after seeing the movie itself.

I'm cynical about Christmas. I like the time with my Family, gettin' stuff, givin' things, Egg Nog (LOVE me some Egg Nog)...really, the day itself is fine. But the detestable period between November 1st and December 24th is what we can call my 'Grinch Period'. Any ad I see for a toy, a store, a show, and of course, a movie just sends me into a frowntastic little spat of jaded, miserable hatred for Corporate X-Mas. It's disgusting.

But this movie...

This movie...

Changed that. At least for 2 hours. It's a wonderfully put together story that tells us that you can't attribute Christmas to any singular negative or positive, that you can't both love and hate Christmas. All those bullshitty ads? I'm wrong to think they're 'Christmas ads'. It's not an anti-corporate, pro Christmas-luddism epic, a central part of the story is that in this day and age Christmas really can't be without a bit of a crutch from technology, good organization and a delicate sprinkling of massive corporate salesmanship. It's hard to say it's got any message in particular.

What matters is that it was excellently written, had gorgeous 3D animation (Also saw it with 3D glasses, it wasn't in your face but it was there) and had a very likeable cast of Characters, all of whom were inexplicably British. That just added to the charm. Also, Canada! There was an entire scene that took place in Toronto. The SAS elves were neat, but not overwhelming, the whole 'BADASS SPACESHIP CHRISTMAS 4000!' was essentially the opening scene, without which the vast majority of the film wouldn't make sense. It was really great. The only shortcoming was the soundtrack, which wasn't very memorable. It wasn't bad, it was just clear most of the money went into the writing staffs brainholes and the rest went into making the various beards and sweaters seen throughout the film look amazing.

See it with your friends or with some children if you can catch some. Just top notch.

I didn't mind the trailer, but I did mind the implication that there's only one child in the world who isn't getting any Christmas presents. Also Arthur's voice.

You should have seen the ad campaign over here. They went into a sponsorship deal with Discount Furniture Stores.

Aardman is a British company. They may have suffered from 'Oh yeah, we forgot about the rest of the world' syndrome.

Also England is the most pagan i.e. yuletide country that doesn't require the American audience to learn a language with no vowels.

I think this is the fourth time I'll watch it now but, Snatch! If for nothing more than watching Tyrone trying to get out of his car and Mickey's pikey speak.

I love Snatch.

"Ya like dogs?"

I watched the first Digimon movie a while ago from Youtube. It's pretty good actually, I liked the first series when I was a kid. It was never as 'cool' as Pokémon though.

Oh and the Finnish dubs of Digimon. Dear lord, the Finnish dubs.



SO ENTHUSIASTIC!

^ Eh! :)

Recently watched Bolt. :fuzsmile:

Watched Tintin in 3D. It was awesome. I recommend checking out the 90s Tintin episodes too. I also saw The Book of Eli, Taken and How to Train your Dragon. Watch them all if possible!

I just realized they kind of addressed this. At no point is it explicitly stated that 7 Billion Children received presents. Rather, I think it's stated at some point that 2 Billion was the victory mark for the year. It may have been a technicality, but it was cool.

I actually thought that was a good trailer, bar the using of the Kill Bill music. Can we please just ban that from trailers from now on? The Team America parody was amusing but now it's getting a bit old. I'm not really one for "christmas movies", so I'll probably wait to see it on TV. But it does seem pretty good and audiences will lap it up.

"Did she say, ELF?" - "No, she said HALF!" (referring to that sofa commercial mentioned by MeechMunchie)

*Twitch*

When the trailer for Tintin came up before Arthur Christmas some lady behind us, that is an adult woman who brought her children, loudly tried to work the title through her sweaty brain and erupted 'The Avalanche of Titan' out of her despicable mouth.

SOME MEN JUST WANT TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN

Found season 7 of The Simpsons in my Dad's garage. I know what I'll be doing tonight.
