Book of Eli is the better film of the two, easily. It was just preachy as hell because the main character is actually (mild spoilers) literally protected by god from getting shot from near point-blank range in one of the early scenes .

Also, the whole movie basically about how powerful and super-amazing The Bible is.
My kind of film.

I suppose that is preachy then, God protecting him. I just thought you meant that it said BE A CHRISTIAN OR ELSE. I dont really see the bible one as being that preachy though, other than the fact that any religious text would have done a similar job. Wouldn't make sense if the villain was after them all though, so they just chose the bible. The bible is also probably the most easily obtainable in the USA, so it makes sense that thats the one he is after.

28 Days Later is so overrated though.

I just saw Lawnmower Man for the first time, I loved the N64 quality CG <3

Anchorman. I laughed quite a bit in that movie. It didn't try to have a stable plot or sensible ending and pulled it off well. The fight scene was just surreal.

I also saw Sita Sings the Blues recently. It was amazing! I loved how they poked fun at the various tellings of the story being different and the plot flaws (dropping jewlery, despite leaving for the forest with nothing). It's free, too. You're mad to not see this movie, if you haven't already.

Regrettingly, I actually liked the movie, though, as Mac Sirloin pointed out, it was super preachy. I want there to be a another, more ambiguous point to the film, but it's it's just too blatantly jesusy.

Referring to The Book of Eli.

Dinner For Schmucks.

Funny, but few laugh out loud moments. It was sort of hard to watch at points because of the sheer awkwardness of some situations, though I think thats the point.

Might wanna check out Repo! The Genetic Opera if you haven't seen it yet. Repo Men is pretty much based on it, just leave the opera out.

Don't be put off by the opera part, it fits very well with the movie and the songs are pretty catchy. Check the trailer here.

Oh my god, you presumptuous little turd.

OWF isn't some kind of fag-waggle SOOPER SEKRET KLUB or something. We're a fucking forum. Yes, we have our fair share of in-jokes and dumb shit like that, but you've had absolutely no constructive role in the community to warrant your flagrant retardation and spouting of assumed

Now, if you weren't clearly fucking lobotomized, maybe you'd have taken the time to actually watch the trailer for Repo and realized that not only is it very loosely an Opera but you're also a tremendous fucking garbage hound. What the fuck are you still reading this for? LEAVE. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.

Yeah, you could, or you could just stop fucking acting like it's all one big joke. You honestly don't know enough about the community to legitimately post the way you post. Just stop thinking you 'get' it.

Looking at what I posted recently makes me feel physically sick, it's only when you read back do you realize at how much of a dicktoss you actually were/are. And I'd like to thank Slag? for making me realize at how much of one I actually am.

For those who aren't familiar with her, this is the Off-Topic Fairy.



She swoops in to a thread where spam is occurring and ongoing beyond it's normal half-life, waves her magic 'wand' and makes everything right again. No-one yet knows what happens when people attempt to spam after that moment, but I imagine it would be horrible.

I recently (about a week ago) saw Where the Wild Things Are. A bit late, I know.

I found it insanely depressing, for which reason my mother didn't like it at all, but since the book always depressed me about as much I enjoyed it considerably. It had touches of black comedy too, which I always enjoy.

I haven't seen that for years, but I remember him swimming down forever to get the woman out of the car after it fell in the river. And there were big glary red eyes.

It didn't make much sense.
