But wasn´t that part of its charm?

No. If the humans were actually good characters who only appeared dull when compared to the awesomeness of the robots, then fine. But they were actually dull and appeared even duller with the comparison.

I also loved the parts without humans and without dialogue the best.

The message wasn't about the environment, it was about what happens when we sit around and do nothing for our whole lives. Fucking up the environment is just one of the results.

The Thus Spoke Zarathustra moment was still one of the best scenes!

I think that concentrating on a particular message takes a lot of the steam out of the film. The themes of loneliness mixed with child-like wonder are so beautifully done that it's almost heart breaking, and it's this emotional resonance that made the film important to me.

Nic and Tristan Go Mega Dega!



It was a fun, silly-ass movie. If you can get past the fact that the two main characters (Nic and Tristan Puehse or Poose or something) can't act for shit, it was just plumb dumb fun.

You are the gayest person on this forum.

Yup

I can't tell if you're being ironic or not, but you're on the money here.

I was not being ironic. I really liked Wall-E.

It's up there in my top 10.

Zombieland.

I was betting for worse, i'm glad there's finally a zombie film with a little more character.

It's a shame there weren't more fucking zombies in it, though. I expected shit and got shit.

I too was sorely disappointed by Zombieland. Lack of gore, annoying protagonist, not enough Murray.

They look like the Olsen twins in (reverse) drag.

Also, does anyone else think that Zooey Deschanel turned down the role of babysitter, so the producers got someone who looked just like her instead?

I'm kind of a fan of Zooey Deschanel, and I never noticed a remarkable similarity.

saw Predators last night.

It was good. I liked how it had the original soundtrack from the first movie.

Inception- At its core, its a heist film. Its good at what it does though, can't say I was bored at any point in the film really. Not much of a mind fuck, save for some moments and visuals. Also the ending,should of just let the fucking top drop. Would have been much better for closure and a better ending overall, instead of the Shamalan shit ANOTHER TWIST?! Ending they tried to do.

Commando.

It's hilarious how Arnie just runs around and guns down a small army only to have trouble with one slightly beergutted Australian.

Angels and Demons.

Ugh. Particle physics fail.

Die Hard 4.0. It follows the traditional action movie formula of "Into-Brief action-Dialogue-Action-Sex scene¹-Dialogue-Action-End".

I enjoyed it. It may not have been great, but I got what I expected: action and surreal fight scenes.

¹optional.

Just watched Toy Story 3. Fucking loved it.

V for Vendetta. God I love that movie.

Repo! The Genetic Opera. I very much enjoyed it, but I can certainly see how the Hot Topic crowd would exploit it. I'm glad I remained blissfully ignorant of that though, because it probably would have cheapened the film for me.

The Road. I liked it a lot, despite some differences from the book.

Which differences bothered you?

The Crazies. It was more or less exactly what I expected it would be. I did enjoy the ending.

Despicable Me. It was a cute, run-of-the-mill family film. The kitten booklet thing was almost sickeningly adorable. The part at the end with the unicorn book... well... I doubt I was the only adult in the theater that entertained the idea of him putting his you-know-what through that hole.

I just re-watched the original crazies and now I'm debating watching the remake. It looks fun and all, but you just can't top classic Romero.

I seemed to remember the 'narratives' The Man being different in the book, and how it turns out the whole family was following them at the end seemed....unnecessary.

Re-read the end of the book. They dumbed it down and blatantly explained it in the film, but the Man's mistrust of people in general prevented the family from intervening sooner. In the book the boy sees one of their kids at one point, and they hear their dog at another, at which point the Man gets paranoid and makes them hurridly move on.

It's all classic McCarthy, really. He aims to depress, and he always succeeds. The only giant difference I noticed was the over abundance of flashbacks featuring the wife. There should have been three at most, and very short ones at that. Otherwise it was a beautiful adaptation and I'm happy to own both the film and book.

Agreed.

It got the same treatment the "Dead" remakes got. Updated plot, over-the-top make-up, and lots of garish blue/orange color contrast.

DUDE, me too! you have to read the comic book next it's so different!

A long, long time ago, I once saw a film called Surf Ninjas. It was a crappy, early 90's, Rob Schneider, ninja film. I didn't remember much about it, but the other day I was flipping through channels and came across it. The first thing that I noticed that I hadn't been aware of when I saw it as a kid, was that it has the guy who played Willie Loomis on Dark Shadows in it. I fucking love Willie Loomis, so I decided to watch the whole thing.

The movie is bad. The dialogue is terrible, and the acting is even worse. So, I never expected to laugh, which is why when the one section of this film that actually is funny came up, it caught me completely by surprise, and had me bending over, gagging, with lemonade dripping from my nose. Now, without further ado, I present to you: MONEY CAN'T BUY KNIVES.

By different you mean a hundred times better.

Yeah pretty much, I hated how they made the ending so happy in the film and how they portrayed V as a "good guy" but I probable never would've read the comic without having seen the movie.

The best line in that movie "One thing is true of all governments – their most reliable records are tax records." lmao

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't V For Vendetta.

I would have liked the comic more if the art wasn't god-awful.

Were we reading the same comic graphic novel?

This.
The artwork sucked. But I'm a tough critic, and it's more about the story.

I honestly couldn't imagine reading that story with the art in any other style.
