Monsters Vs. Aliens.
The only scene I actually liked was when Colbert played Axel F for the giant robot. Rest of it was less than meh.

Antichrist.

First movie in a long time to make me squirm. OANST, you'd probably like it. Really nice visuals.


Sekto Springs 03-17-2010 10:57 AM

If it has Willem Dafoe, its automatically creepy.

Disgruntled Intern 03-17-2010 10:59 AM

Once again, I disagree with you.

Anyway, he adds no creepiness to this. He brings sanity. For a time.

I've been interested in seeing it since I first heard about it. I keep coming back to the question of whether it's "edgy" or if it's interesting? What did you think?

Disgruntled Intern 03-17-2010 11:03 AM

It's interesting and beyond edgy. I mean, the content shown borders on pornography, but with the violence thrown in, it's taken to another level, which makes it more interesting for me. Instead of being a "hur hur, tits and pussy" movie, it's a "...what..." movie, despite the presence of genitals, both male and female.

Not for the faint, or young of heart. Worth a watch. Got a good reaction out of both of us. Like I said, I think you'd like it. Appreciate the visuals at the very least.

I've just seen Avatar recently I think. I heard it was good from lots of friends and my brother had the same. So we decided to see it for my birthday. I wasn't really sure what it was about yet, but good is good so we watched it.
The opening was him floating in space for some reason or something.
They soon got on the planet however, and you could see he was in a wheelchair. This forebodes a difficulty he had to overcome through out the entire movie! So anyways then he meets the sergeant guy, who I knew as being a bad guy from everyone else before hand. He was silly and yell-y. Anyways Jake (his name) Sully has to fill his dead brother's shoes (he dies with no reason given, I think.) and take over his 'avatar'.

Avatar's are these Human-Na'vi things that allow a human to inhabit the body of a remote control Organism native called the Na'vi native to the planet they are currently on! Oh! I forgot to mention that the name of planet is Pandora, and these guys all work for a mining corporation or something. They want to mine the planet, but the natives get in the way.

Anyways, on one of his run in his Na'vi body, Jack gets lost and seperated from the others. There were two other scientist with him by the way I think. They're good guys. In this movie, Scientists are good guys, military are generally bad guys unless they're female chopter pilots. Anyways he's seperate and meets another female Na'vi. She's actually like the princess or something of the tribe and lives in a big tree and shows him to the rest of the Na'vi, who accept him because of a sign from the Great Mother Tree that he's the one I think. The one who does something.

So eventually he learns to integrate within their society. Now, the big bad military guys and company chief executives want to use this to their advantage I think. So they say they'll give Jack the operation to afford getting his legs back if he continues to provide them information. Of course Jack agrees at first. But after having experiences as a Na'vi so long he begins to enjoy his life and regret his decisions. He feels as if he should be a Na'vi not a human.
And ummmmmm
some shit happens about them wanting to destroy the great tree they live in so Jack is finally forced to choose sides, in which he sides with the Na'vi, but they don't accept him at first because he was found out to be a mole for the military. He says how it's different cause he learned to love them and it was only a mole job at first, and the cliche whatever, where they eventually accept him once he mounts THE LARGEST BIRD!
It was a bird dinosaur I think.
Anyways, they attack the military guys and eventually win and force the military guys back to wherever they came from. Earth I suppose. Natives enjoy themselves, one nice scientist lady dies, Jack transferred to Na'vi form forever, and everyone is happy.
Except the company guys, but they're the bad guys, but no one cares I think. Because they're the bad guys I think.
Wahaha!

WARNING: The preceding post contains spoilers and scenes of a quizzical nature, and should not have been viewed by people who haven't seen the film :p

Strike Witch 03-17-2010 05:37 PM

Made perfect sense to me.

Mac Sirloin 03-18-2010 08:10 AM

Class of 1984. Very, very 80's, but nonetheless an enjoyable movie. The ending was satisfying.

Josh 03-18-2010 08:16 AM

Zombieland. It needed more zombies.

Disgruntled Intern 03-18-2010 10:42 PM

And less uglies.

Sekto Springs 03-19-2010 03:45 AM

The pilot of Ugly Americans.
Fun premise. Chuckled a few times. Nothing amazing.

Disgruntled Intern 03-19-2010 09:30 AM

Oh yeah, I was wondering about that. What channel did it air on? Maybe I can catch it online.

used:) 03-19-2010 10:30 AM

Comedy Central. I liked it and will keep up with it.

STM 03-19-2010 10:58 AM

indeed, I was wondering is this one a remake or part 2?

used:) 03-19-2010 02:57 PM

What?

Mac Sirloin 03-20-2010 09:58 AM

I watched the entirety of Tim and Eric: Season 4. Good shit.

Wings of Fire 03-22-2010 09:06 AM

I saw the twelth Pokemon movie, Arceus and the Jewel of Life last night.

It was alwight. The plot was nothing to write home about, but the animation was pretty top notch, it had good music and as a world building experience it really fleshed out the pokeverse.

Alcar 03-22-2010 03:22 PM

Watched FLCL in its entirety last night. Was rather shocked to find out there were only six episodes.

Alcar...

OddjobAbe 03-22-2010 03:25 PM

I've been watching Game On ('90s comedy). For the most part, it's really funny. I've also been watching Sooty with my nephew. I think I enjoy it more than him.

Who cares when episode 4, 5 and 6 were one of the best hours I've ever spent.

How'd you get to see Arceus and the Jewel of Life, WoF?

Wings of Fire 03-22-2010 04:44 PM

Why I watched it ilegally online of course, Used:)

HOHOHO

I had to.

OANST 03-23-2010 07:36 AM

I almost did it myself, but I thought that the implication was enough.

Wings of Fire 03-23-2010 07:50 AM

I buy all the games and the strategy guides, figures, models, plush toys and posters.

The Pokemon Compay is not going to miss my money.

I remember that animation. That guy does lots of neat stuff.

Mac Sirloin 03-23-2010 06:17 PM

Diary of A Wimpy Kid. It..uh...It was really, really bad. Yeah. I totally wasn't incredibly impressed, if anything I was disappointed. Exactly. I mean, who would like a kids movie? Some kind of queer, that's for sure. Mm hm, uh huh.

used:) 03-26-2010 12:13 PM

Interiors, Woody Allen's first serious film. Wonderful.

MA 03-27-2010 05:23 AM

watched Sugarhouse. i think you either love it or hate it. either way, Andy Serkis was still fucking brilliant.

also, don't watch any of the trailers. just don't. they're incredibly misleading and make it look like some shitty action movie with one liners, which it is most certainly not. for example, there is hardly any music going through the film as a whole, apart from certain scenes, but the music used in the trailer puts a totally different feel to it.

anyway, i enjoyed it.

Mac Sirloin 03-27-2010 11:00 AM

Watched Riki-Oh last night. Kind of like Big Trouble in Little China; it's a weird blend of light-hearted dialogue and batshit insane intense violence, but if you were to remove the blood, it would be an excellent kids movie. No joke.

I liked the bit where that guy tried to strangle Riki with his own intestines.

Emesdee 03-27-2010 06:07 PM

Just watched The Stuff, a mid-80's horror/comedy about evil marshmallow fluff that mind controls people. To think there was a time when something like this was scary to me.

I think my favorite part was when Riki punched one of the gang of four's forearms off and uppercutted through his lower jaw, and then that same guy deliberately saved Riki moments later by holding up the hydraulic press so Riki could escape.

I want to watch is again RIGHT NOW.

Jenifers Body.

Would have been better if there was no Megan Fox and if everybody didn't keep saying 'it's a feminist horror film'. SHE IS A SUCCUBUS FFS!
