I’ve Just Seen… II

[Sekto Springs]

Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. I loved it, though a few parts weren't very clear to me, such as the whole flute in the windpipe thing, but I put two and two together quickly after the ending.

I really want to see Harry Brown. Anyone else seen it?

i've only seen A Nightmare on Elm Street 3. i didn't mind it, and that was only because i enjoyed wondering what the fuck he was gonna do/be next. i thought it was surreal, but not scary.

but like i say, i haven't seen the first one.

I think he's talking about the remake that just came out. The originals are all gold. The remake, like Mac says, is fucking terrible.

It's also widely accepted among the Freddy fanbase that the third film was one of the best. I can't say personally, they all have their iconic moments. I remember the sixth one being pretty meh, but I did enjoy New Nightmare for what it was.

Just saw Iron Man 2. I liked it a lot, but it wasn't as good as the first movie. There were a lot of parts in the first half where several characters were talking over each other that got on my nerves, but otherwise I liked it. Mickey Rourke's character was great, and I found him to be the most likeable character, surprisingly.

[Sekto Springs]

The Lovely Bones. It was okay, but I felt that alot of parts were either laid on too thick or not thick enough. The mood of the film would shift too quickly, and then stay in that mood for too long. Some of the acting was very hammy, and some of it was painfully lukewarm. Mark Wahlberg did an okay job though, which was surprising. I guess because this was outside of his usual repertoire and I'm used to seeing him in terrible action films.
The montage of Susie's "perfect world" had serious pacing problems, and just seemed awkwardly placed. I was also hoping there would be more character development with her friends and family, but it seemed like she would just randomly check up on them. It would occasionally have some kind of connection, but it was just patchy at best. Nothing really happened linking her family/friends to the killer until the end of the film, and the rest was just lots of pretty pictures and tired metaphor.

Hopefully that was succinct enough without needing spoiler tags. Not that anyone actually cares.

You should check out Four Brothers; he's absolutely brilliant in it.

[Disgruntled Intern]

Fantastic Mr.Fox. Fucking LOVED it.

[Wings of Fire]

Me and my flatmates declared an emergency movie night and watched Mongol.

Genghis Khan's touch will break you in two.

[Nate]

Just like my massive wang.

[Strike Witch]

I watched Godzilla vs. Gigan.

Godzilla and Anguirus are like an old married couple.

"Hurry up, Hurry up!"

"Okay, okay!"

[Wings of Fire]

Just like my massive wang.

He says that to his wife just before they have sex.

No joke.

[Nate]

Are you talking about me, or Genghiz?

[Wings of Fire]

Do you have a wife?

[Sekto Springs]

The Frighteners. Damn good film. Way better than The Lovely Bones. Get back on the ball, PJ.
Also, Leto's daddy helped make it. No really.

[Nate]

Do you have a wife?

I don't, but maybe you believe I do.

[used:)]

Iron Man 2. It was okay. The unsuccessful imitations from the beginning gave me some chills, especially the one that twisted the guy's spine. There were plenty of good laughs too.

I wonder if they just added Justin Hammer's line in after realizing the finished scene would have been really fucked up if not.

I watched Van Helsing again a few days ago. I was at once reminded how awesome it is.

[Disgruntled Intern]

Teenagers from Uranus. I lol'd. A lot.

[Sekto Springs]

I recently watched both Death Note films. I enjoyed them, vastly more than I would have if I tried to sit through the entire anime I think. I never really got on the whole Death Note bandwagon, but I figured it was worth a look. I wasn't disappointed. I wasn't blown away, but I wasn't disappointed.

Ill probably watch L: Change the WorLd as well when I have some more time on my hands.

[Disgruntled Intern]

So I finally saw Avatar. I didn't like it.

I know half of you are going to bitch and say that I didn't see it in 3d and blah blah blah, but I see movies for their fucking merit, not lame effects. Avatar was stupid.

[OANST]

I haven't bothered and I probably never will.

[T-nex]

In all honesty, Avatar isn't much to wow about, apart from the graphics I guess. Personally I really liked it as it's my kind of movie( i like cheesy flicks with sci-fi/fantasy elements and nice eye candy), but I think it'd be stupid to say that everyone has to like it. The story was rather simple, and not original. But I do think the story was ok anyway. I mean, it doesn't lie about humanity.

I'm happy about the graphics though. I used to really dislike 3D effects in movies because it was so evidently fake, and would have been much better with the use of puppets(For instance, the Alien movies used puppets and the effects are way better than many modern movies IMO).
But after this movie, I have faith that using CG will not cheapen movies as much as it did in the past.

I guess what I'm saying is you're not missing out by not watching Avatar, the story you can get from other movies, and really the graphics was the wow factor of the movie(which if pointless if you don't care about graphics).

I'm with you, to the bitter end.

Blah blah blah visual medium blah blah seeing it in 3-D would actually have made a difference blah blah otherwise it was stupid.

Saw The Hurt Locker, I liked it, but it wasn't deserving of best picture.

So was I until my god damned wife and mother in law fucking badgered me into submission.

The second movie is about a billion times better than the second season, and the movie ending is so superior it isn't even comparable. Even though the first movie is slightly weaker than the first half of the first season I'm giving this one to the live action films.

[Josh]

A film called Dorothy. She's a girl with Multiple Personality Disorder possesd by dead people.

Everyone knows it's the women who essentially control the men Beware, soon men wont even be needed anymore!

[OANST]

Pussy is a fairly powerful mind control tool, yes.

[T-nex]

Plus if you kick a man's balls he'll fall to the floor and cry...

[MA]

doesn't that work either way?
