Okay, now I might go and see it. I like little lizards.

Avatar, my thoughts:

About 20 minutes in I just stopped caring about how corny the script was, the cliche characters, and the predictable storyline. Every person played their part so well that it all became cool again. Coupled with the magnificent eye candy of Pandora, I was utterly enchanted for three hours and remained that way for a good while after leaving the theater. I saw the revenge by nature coming form a mile away, but even then, I almost cried when it happened. Seeing all the soldiers get their asses kicked brought tears to my eyes. And, of course, the ending was just swell. Music was ace. James Horner never disappoints. As usual, Sigourney Weaver kicked ass. Glad to hear there will probably be sequels. I just hope it doesn't decay. And I agree. More helicopter lizards!

i don't get the whole "light on story" thing some people have been saying, they obviously just want to be a critic

Shut up. You let me blather in peace.

Leto · #**785** 12-20-2009, 01:55 AM

i was letting you blather! you said the story was cliche but done well, which i agree with. cliche story =/= light on story though, amirite

That's true. I guess they don't mean not much, but they mean simple and easy to follow.

I mean, really, how long has it been since there was a movie so awesome that also conveyed a deep, underlying message of conservation?

Wall-E?

I didn't see that, but wasn't that more about consumerism instead? Hmm, I guess the two kind of go hand-in-hand though.

I've never been a Tarantino fan. I watched Pulp Fiction and my only reaction was "What was the big deal about that?". I haven't seen any of his other films.

But I fucking loved Inglorius Basterds. Maybe it's just the Jew revenge fantasy in me, but I thought it was brilliant.

I'm not sure how true that is; I've heard him interviewed about that film. He's vague about why he chose that name, yes, but he didn't deny that there was a connection.

I'm pretty sure it has the director of the original film in it in a cameo. He's credited "as himself"

Just watched:
Zombieland, Chariots Of Fire, Inkheart, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and Yes Man.

There all good

Wings of Fire · #**793** 12-20-2009, 04:34 PM

I just watched the eleventh pokemon movie: Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

I actually quite enjoyed it.

slig# 5719 · #**794** 12-20-2009, 05:05 PM

I've only seen the first Pokemon movie, I did enjoy it though. The parts I liked best was when the pokemon fought without their skills and what happened to Ash when Mew and Mewtwo where fighting.

I've also seen the first Digimon movie, that's good too but the end of each part was pure cheese fest. I watched a subtitled Digimon X-evolution, that was awesome even though there were no humans in it. It actually has quite a sad storyline.

Wings of Fire · #**795** 12-20-2009, 05:08 PM

I think everyone's seen the first pokemon movie, it's something you'd only possibly find good if you were into the first wave of pokemon and WERE THERE.

I mean, it's pretty damn awful.

slig# 5719 · #**796** 12-20-2009, 05:17 PM

Yep that's where I was, although I only liked near the end the rest wasn't that great. The beginning was... cute, but that's it.

Oh God now i've got that song (try to catch me) stuck in my head.

Muppets? Hell yeah! I think Gremlins is also on tonight.

MA · #**803** 12-21-2009, 07:31 AM

Gremlins always makes me feel ill. and there's some strange, sexual undertones in it too. director must have had a fetish for them.

OddjobAbe · #**804** 12-21-2009, 10:28 AM

FUCK. I missed Muppets because I was out.

slig# 5719 · #**805** 12-21-2009, 10:43 AM

I watched "The Ten Commandments"

It was good but over four hours was a bit much for me.

Lucky muppets people.
