The only one that I can think of is the President's Subordinate.

Daxter King 07-15-2009 11:40 PM

The whole drama between Megan Fox and Ben was stupid. Really it was more of the unneeded characters for me. The little robot, roommate, alien chick, giant decepticon, and the new autobots.

Saw Harry Potter yesterday. I was disappointed.

Who the fuck is Ben?

Why? Was it actually good?

The roommate is the only one that I can agree on here, also Megan Fox. I can't stand her.

Wheelie (the little robot) was there as Deus Ex Machina for Jetfire-if he hadn't helped to reactivate him, Wheelie wouldn't know he could be an autobot. Also comic relief.

Just watched Torchwood: Children of Earth.


It was pretty much four and a half hours of brilliant build-up, followed by the typical RTD copout deus ex machina climax. Deeply unsatisfying.

OddjobAbe 07-16-2009 06:37 AM

I can remember when I watched a new Doctor Who because I heard that the Daleks were meeting the Cybermen. One minute, there were millions of Daleks. The next minute, they are all sucked away. Terribly shit. I hate Russel T. Davies for his anti-climaxes and shit endings.

Nate 07-16-2009 06:44 AM

That was better than Twinkle Jesus the following year.

Saw HP 6. The only part I genuinely liked was the ending. Even though it didn't follow the book exactly (which I'm thankful for for various reasons), it still kicked ass. The rest if the movie was just a half-assed attempt at sticking to the book by including more of the tedious love drama and not the horcruxes and such. Also, I was expecting zombies; not Gollums! Malfoy and Tom Riddle were fantastic. Both Tom Riddles reminded me of the immortal, ageless child from Cowboy Bebop. I'm also sincerely pissed that they left out Dumbledore's burial. So yeah, I hope David Yates isn't making the next one.

I thought Ben was the main character guy.

The main character's name is Sam. There is no character named Ben.

Really? My mind tried to repress most of that shitty movie.

Strike Witch 07-16-2009 03:05 PM

So basically there were no sublot issues, you just pulled it out of your arse.

No offense, dude, but I find it kind of hard to take any criticism you have seriously when you can't remember the main characters name :/

Daxter King 07-16-2009 03:17 PM

I understand, but I really did hate that movie. I can see how other people would like it though.

Yeah. But it felt like they deliberately tried to find the most unsettling way to end it, even if it made no freaking sense.

What on earth did killing off Ianto acheive, other than driving Jack away in the end?
Killing Jack's grandson was frankly just emotional manipulation.
Why was Jack's grandson the only one of the children to suffer from bleeding death?
If the 456 ambassador was able to escape (though probably injured), why did they not just destroy humanity anyway? I mean, there was nothing to suggest that they'd done any harm to anyone but the ambassador.


Also, were the 456 related to the Raxacoricofallapatorians?

shaman 07-17-2009 03:09 AM

Im pretty sure they wern't related, the raxicoricofalibatorians were made of calcium and so could be defeated by vinigar, they also had a tradition where they hunted as though it were a ritual. The 456 were probably not related to them, or the humans could just use acidic weapons against them also the 456 breathe that poisonous stuff made from cianide and hydrogen and whatever.

where as the Raxco (im not saying that long word again) can brethe oxygen.

And yes, killing off Ianto really spoilt it for me, and jack's running away left a very open ending.

Nate 07-17-2009 03:45 AM

All you say is true. The connection I made was that they were both green and spiky and (at least the individuals we've seen) prone to dodgy dealings.

Let's not forget that the Abzorbaloff was from Clom, the sister planet to Raxacoricofallapatorius and shared similar traits.

OANST 07-17-2009 06:27 AM

Yeah, this sounds fucking terrible.

moxco 07-19-2009 09:28 PM

Saw HP and the deathly hallows yester day. The best in the series so far.

shaman 07-19-2009 09:29 PM

I think you mean The half blood prince?

Leto 07-19-2009 10:25 PM

everyone i know has said it's the worst one yet.

Wings of Fire 07-20-2009 08:00 AM

It can't possibly be worse than Prisoner of Azkaban.

That was my favorite. Sid Vicious Black probably did that though.

MA 07-20-2009 02:55 PM

watched The Patriot the other night. bit too accurate for guns in them days, therefore quite unrealistic. otherwise it was...alright, i suppose.

Mac Sirloin 07-20-2009 11:07 PM

I saw Death Race.

It was adequately satisfying.

Rent it.

Strike Witch 07-21-2009 01:33 AM

Watched the two Transporter movies the other night.

Love them so.

OANST 07-21-2009 06:54 AM

I saw the new Harry Potter. It just meandered around the room looking confused for about two hours. Then we got half an hour of things happening. Not one of the better movies.
