Pro tip: Sequels for interesting films that are not made by the original creators will always, always, always be a terrible waste of time.

What about The Empire Strikes Back, which was neither written nor directed by George Lucas?

His point still stands.

He outsourced his vision to people better able to make it not suck. He was still involved. It doesn't count.

The only exception I can actually think of would be 28 Weeks Later, which people seemed to like. I don't know, as I haven't seen it.

It's not as good as 28 Days Later, I'd say. It's a good flick tho'.

You can definitely tell it was made by different people, but you can also tell that they tried to emulate the original's style, so it's okay.

Wings of Fire 10-20-2010 07:12 AM

Shame the original was shit.

Shame that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

I like sequels.

I recently saw Crash by Cronenberg (don't mix it up with the 2004 film by the same title, it has nothing to do with the cronenberg film)

It's about these people who find a fetish in causing car crashes and consequently getting crippled. this film is pretty messed up and in many way repulsive, but the characters and their actions are also very very thrilling and exciting.
a haunting and very cold but sensual movie. oh and by the way, if you think of watching it, do not watch the trailer! the trailer is totally misleading.

so anyone seen this movie?

CRASH (Cronenberg, 1996)

Mr. Bungle 10-21-2010 01:13 PM

ZING!

scrabface 10-21-2010 02:48 PM

Jackass 3D. Some of it was juvenile and disgusting. The rest was juvenile, disgusting, and hilarious.

Dynamithix 10-23-2010 04:41 AM

Yesterday I saw Pandorum. It's about humans in a spaceship trying to get to a planet similar to earth called Tanis. But the ship's power was running low and there were some kind of aliens in the ship that weren't too friendly and the main guy had to go change the ship's reactor or whatever, and he ends up rescuing humanity or whatever.

It was fine, pretty confusing but still okay. I'd give it a out of 10.

Nate 10-23-2010 05:30 PM

I finally saw Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. It was much better than I was expecting; pretty reasonable, over all. I'd rate it as better than Temple of Doom.

I agree it was pretty good, but not that good.

Nate 10-23-2010 06:12 PM

Well, I hated Temple of Doom so it would have to have been really shit to knock that off its lowperch.

Dynamithix 10-23-2010 06:13 PM

Oh okay.

ziggy 10-24-2010 07:27 PM

I finally watched Where the Wild Things Are. I thought it was actually













very boring. There I wrote it. I fucking went there nigga.

Mr. Bungle 10-24-2010 07:56 PM

I watched:

The Butterfly Effect:

Some people give this movie shit, but I enjoyed it.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Prequel:

Meh. Average lame horror movie, wouldn't recommend it.


Dead Snow :

Norwegian Zombie flick and it totally kicked ass.

Emesdee 10-25-2010 04:53 PM

Just saw Psycho Shark, and it was probably one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. Such a waste of a title. Half the movie was just women in bikinis playing in the water, and a third of that was the same footage repeated since the main characters are filming themselves playing around. A shark shows up a couple times, but one was a dream sequence, and the second time was at the very end, and was the size of a whale, and in slow motion.

Mac Sirloin 10-25-2010 06:00 PM

I just watched Gooby.



Now, for those of you too lazy to watch that past the first whinely inklings of that fucking family movie violin shit at the start there, please allow me to outline this fucking atrocity of a film:
-The writer/director is named Wilson, the main character boy is named Willy
-It was literally the most mind bogglingly cliche Family Film I've ever seen. The second, the fucking second you see Gooby in his gestative teddy bear form, you know how it's going to fucking end.
-Gooby is...There is so much wrong with Gooby's design. It's ugly, disgusting, unnecessarily Scottish, toxic waste earwax-shit ornage, (or rather brilliant neon shitsmear brown and tan) and is just generally fucking shitty to look at. He's stupid. The stupidest character.

Back to his roots in the drunken ugly fog of Scotland, Gooby has an absolutely grating and fucking catastrophic voice that crembulates through the brain and makes vast armies burst into flames. I hate Scottish accents. My dad always tried to emulate that obscene Austin Powers shite in his own vile horror-bloat of a voice, and they never, never never sound good from non-live actors, so it was just a duality of hateable audio. Fuck Gooby's fractal sound-brick of a voice. Ugh.

Oh, and there's a needlessly English maid who just disa-fucking-ppears halway through and returns, asleep, like, fifteen minutes to the end. My ass.

Mr. Bungle 10-25-2010 06:10 PM

That looks/sounds atrocious. Why watch it?

scrabface 10-26-2010 11:51 AM

anyone of you seen Mulholland Drive or any other David Lynch films?

OANST 10-26-2010 12:28 PM

I've seen almost all of his films.

Mac Sirloin 10-26-2010 06:17 PM

That's because you are the oldest hipster in the world.

scrabface 10-27-2010 04:57 AM

@OANST so what is your idea of what the film is all about?
