And we know anything that involves Charles Dickens and Sir Michael Caine automatically wins.

OANST 04-04-2012 03:43 PM

They're not my dad.

Dixanadu 04-04-2012 05:09 PM

I watched John Carter.

I thought it was great. The alien dick/dog thing was hilarious.

Crashpunk 04-05-2012 01:52 AM

The season finale of Spartacus: Vengeance. It was predictable but they had a lot of moments I wasn't expecting. I didn't think it was as good as Blood and Sand but it was certainly close.
I recommend the series overall if you like heavily over the top, gory, very explicit and slow motion effects in every scene much like 300. If not, avoid it like the plague.

I thought it looked good. Until i saw the little Disney logo in the corner. On the other hand, maybe they've realised that no one gives a shit about Disney films, and they haven't since 1999. Maybe it can be... ok.

The only explanation is that Nepsotic is a retard and confused Walt Disney Studios with Walt Disney Animation Studios (AKA The Disney Animated Canon).

Nepsotic 04-05-2012 07:43 AM

yeah thats what I mean. But seeing that Disney logo puts me off stuff.

Wings of Fire 04-05-2012 08:01 AM

So you won't be watching any of the Marvel Studios movies then?

Dixanadu 04-05-2012 08:03 AM

What's so bad about Disney? I liked their old films, and still do.

Besides, while I was watching this film, it didn't seem Disney-esque at all. It had a slight FFXII feel to it.

They are almost all the exact same movie just reskinned, and then there is the whole insipid garbage aspect of them to take into account.

Fuck you. Bambi was the shit.

OANST 04-05-2012 09:42 AM

Nooooo. Not really.

Dixanadu 04-05-2012 09:50 AM

Yes, it totally was. Such an endearing tale.

Anyway, my sister got me a pirate-DVD. She said it has all the 'Land Before Time' movies on it. Totally psyched, actually... I used to watch them all the time as a kid.

OANST 04-05-2012 09:51 AM

Those aren't Disney. And they are pretty goddamn awful, too. The first one isn't that bad, but they just keep getting worse after that.

Dixanadu 04-05-2012 09:57 AM

I know they aren't Disney, I was getting back on topic.

I could take your word for that, actually. I remember the first one more than the others.

Huh.

Wings of Fire 04-05-2012 10:15 AM

The Land Before Time is a beloved classic.

The Land Before Time II through XIII are... not.

OddjobAbe 04-05-2012 11:22 AM

I saw a couple of those with my nephew a few years ago. Quite honestly, from what I remember, they bored the fuck out of me.

Last night, I watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly after finding my copy. Fucking fantastic, it'll never get boring. I've watched a lot of Westerns recently.

T-nex 04-05-2012 12:02 PM

The Land Before Time had decent people working on it.

I think after that first one, the people working on it changed completely, and it all just turned into boring meaningless movies.

The first one had that 'epic' feel to it that good cartoons have :)

Wings of Fire 04-05-2012 12:33 PM

By 'decent people' you mean Don Bluth.

OANST 04-05-2012 12:37 PM

She meant George Lucas.

T-nex 04-05-2012 12:43 PM

I wasn't aware that George Lucas had worked on it. That's pretty decent. Too bad it didn't contain lightsabers.

Wings of Fire 04-05-2012 12:43 PM

Oh

Well he's not a decent person either, but for entirely opposite reasons.

Crashpunk 04-05-2012 12:57 PM

Went to see The Hunger Games today with some mates. Everyone has been ranting about it so we just had to see it.

I can't give a amazing review but it was a great film, A very good film. It was a predictable from the very start but it didn't really matter. I should really read the book it's based on because like most films based on novels, It leaves a lot out.

OANST 04-05-2012 01:03 PM

It just looks too "Twilighty" to me.

Crashpunk 04-05-2012 01:16 PM

It's better then Twilight. Anything is better then Twilight.

OANST 04-05-2012 01:23 PM

Well, I'm sure it's better than Twilight. It just looks like it has the same aesthetic. And that turns me off.

Mudokon_Master 04-05-2012 01:43 PM

So why does everyone hate Twilight again? I've only seen bits of the first one and it looks kinda cool I guess.

Wings of Fire 04-05-2012 01:47 PM

Because it's plotless, sexist, self insert cardboard romance garbage.

OANST 04-05-2012 01:47 PM

I just involuntarily farted.

Dynamithix 04-05-2012 01:58 PM

I watched the new South Park episode, Jewpacabra. It didn't really make any sense, the first half of it was good but then it turned really strange and nonsensical. Ehh, they're just running out of ideas.

I think they ran out of ideas like five seasons ago. The network won't let them quit.

Because it's insipid softcore erotica written by an overweight, sexually frustrated Mormon for prepubescent, midwestern girls whose concept of "love" has yet to evolve beyond hormone-based infatuation. Not to mention that even if you ignore the massive conceptual flaws and terrible characters, it's also just fucking boring.

Wings of Fire 04-05-2012 05:15 PM

'Edward looked at his newborn son, he was both dazzling and dazzled.'

Real line guys

Sekto Springs 04-05-2012 05:19 PM

You just know she was rubbing her greasy snatch while she wrote that line. Gross.

It just looks too "Twilighty" to me.

The books (which I read all of, in a day, last summer) as a series are crap. Specifically the second third, the latter is taken up by 2/3rds of the story focusing on the protagonist grumbling about being in the hospital, over and over and over again. But the first book is good, and the 'romance' isn't really there and when it is it's not heavy handed, just to add more 'depth' to it. All of the hype makes it look like a humungous Twilight clone, but it's honestly just a fun, uplifting movie about children murdering the fuck out of one another. You should just get fucked up on acid or something and watch it. That's what I'm going to do.

I can’t take Hunger Games seriously because of how much it just sounds like a Battle Royale ripoff.

Battle Royale for tweenage girls is the vibe I'm getting.

Best. Review. Ever. Also isn't Edward like 100 years old? that's just creepy.

It's not.

Strike Witch 04-06-2012 04:59 AM

I heard the actual problems with the film is terrible pacing, infodumps everywhere, and the main girl is an awful mary sue and none of the other characters are at all interesting.
