I Have Just Seen… -

I saw the trailer for Grindhouse, that looks really cool. Are you any of you guys interested in seeing that? It's like a tribute to the double features, and they even make the movie look like an old one. It's actiony, has hot girls, and it's cheesy on purpose. Overall it seems like a fun movie.

Seriously, everyone gets capped in the head at the end. At least let Leo live. At least it was good for a gasp, then hysterical laughter.

I was thinking something similar. It was like a '****ing Christ noone wins' kind of way.

If we were to create a Saw thread, it'd be closed, and we'd be told to post here. So it'd just be a waste to even create one.

No, because you'd be discussing something entirely different, not something you have just seen.

I saw Stephen King's It last night, and I hate to say that it scared me (I think it made my caulrophobia twice as bad).
However, I would have been more scared if Pennywise the clown didn't sound like Beetlejuice.

If that's the case, then why have all the "What's your favorite movie" threads been closed? They don't deal with movie's you've just seen either.

I just recently watched Million Dollar Baby. It was my first time seeing it, and I actually thought that the movie was just going to be another one of those cliche work-really-hard-and-just-barely-win-at-the-end kind of films. I couldn't have been more wrong. It really was a very good movie, and it the end really hit me emotionally. Poor ol' Clint.

Last night, Mel Brooks' High Anxiety was on. It was a great film, I don't know which I like more, Spaceballs or High Anxiety .
Here's a part of High Anxiety with a Psycho scene in it. That scene's my favorite. Please notice that my YouTube profile says I'm 21 - when I was making that profile, I was in a hurry, and input the wrong date off by a few years by accident.

High anxiety looks pretty funny! I've never seen it before, but Mel Brooks is a good comedy director and actor.

Because that's a different type of thread. ****ing christ, can you never admit that you've been wrong?

Good ol' Tim Curry. Too bad it was so long. It's a good movie and/or book though.

snuzi · #**218** 03-20-2007, 09:05 PM

I can admit when I'm wrong. I was just clarifying to make sure that I wouldn't be creating a pointless thread

.

Nemo · #**219** 03-21-2007, 03:45 PM

Actually, he's right. It would be closed.
This is more of a movies megathread than anything else, so stop argueing/debating.

Leto · #**220** 03-22-2007, 01:33 AM

You're both right. I apologise for my appauling behaviour. Nemo, my saviour.

I'm such a sad person I've just seen Greys Anatomy. And I watch it religiously. God shoot me down, I love George.

Pan's Labyrinth.

Watch it. Now. Beautiful, poignant movie.

I agree, awesome movie!
I loved the way they mixed both worlds, harsh reality and fatasy

I saw 300 two days ago, it has some "God of War" Feeling, I absolutly loved it!
If you like some "good" brutality and frightening rage, go see it.
Plus it has a very nice visual style, I guess thank you Frank Miller.

***Nate*** · #**222** 03-22-2007, 04:54 PM

I'm looking forward to 300, especially after reading the following on Ron Gilbert's blog (he designed the Monkey Island games).

:

Back in my Lucasfilm Game(tm) days, we would sit around and debate, dream and philosophize that in the not too distant future games would merge into movies and finally archive the same cultural, artistic and popular significance. We'd study their storytelling prowess and techniques of narrative construction. We'd look at the visual language they had built for themselves and tried to pull from that every lesson we could. Games could be as good as movies we'd say. Someday.

I am happy to report that the convergence has happened. Just not in the direction we had predicted.

300 is a vacuous film filled with bad dialog, stiff acting, a pointless one-dimensional plot and interchangeable characters that hardly deserve to be named in the script. The film barely has a first act and does nothing but drive to a preposterous conclusion led along by a sequence of ridiculous events. The Visuals are nothing more than technical masturbation.

Simply put, 300 is the best damn film I've seen all year. I haven't had this much fun watching a movie in a long time. It's nice to see Hollywood is finally striving to be more likes games.

jimi hendrix.. live at woodstock...

I trust that judgement. I'll get around to seeing a pirated copy sometime soon.

Pun? Anything? No points. No points for Leto. You, sir, have re-infected LeChuck's theme into my brain. Doo, do do DOO do do DOO, do do DOO, do do DOOO.

Me watched Shadow of the Vampire last night for the like, umpteenth time. Still semiamusing.

***Nate*** · #**225** 03-23-2007, 05:47 AM

I saw Hot Fuzz last night - absolutely awesome. In the beginning it's a fairly normal yet very funny big-town-cop-in-small-quirky-British-town film but the final 20 minutes packs in all the absurdity of Shaun of the Dead multiplied by five. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to laugh.

snuzi · #**226** 03-26-2007, 06:26 PM

Watched Casino Royale last night with my girlfriend. Still can't get enough of that movie.

OddjobAbe · #**227** 03-27-2007, 08:47 AM

I like the film Psycho.
It's a classic horror/thriller/whichever you'd categorise it under - you never saw anything happen, it was just the tension that would scare me. In High Anxiety, there was a scene taking the mickey out of the scene where the man stabs the woman who's in the shower.

ANN NEELY · #**228** 03-27-2007, 12:14 PM

I saw The Last Mimzy on Friday. Weirdest. Movie. I've seen since Jacob's Ladder. No kidding.

On Saturday, I saw The Day After Tomorrow, and I really enjoyed it. The part with the ice was especially sweet.

Arxryl · #**229** 03-27-2007, 12:52 PM

I watched Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom and The Last Crusade last night, and even though there were multiple editing mistakes, it was still good for a watch. And another, and another, and another...

And I really do want to see that Hot Fuzz movie. Me, my mom and my bro are going to see it on April 20th. The trailer was cool, so if the movie is anything like the trailer (god forbid that ever happen) then I think I'll enjoy myself.

OANST · #**230** 03-28-2007, 09:28 PM

I just watched Harsh Times. It was just one more movie where Christian Bale proves he is the best actor of his generation. The movie was written and directed by the same guy that made Training Day and I think that caused the lackluster reaction to it. People just expected more Training Day and when they didn't get it they were disappointed. Harsh Times is completely different. This is much more of a tragedy while Training Day was more about getting what's coming to you.

ANN NEELY · #**231** 03-31-2007, 04:58 PM

I recently watched Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle; it was very beautiful, funny, and the voice acting was perfect! I really enjoyed it just as much as his other movies!

Just finished watching the original The Hills Have Eyes. It was kinda hard to follow, and ended abruptly, but interesting, none the less.

Facsimile · #**232** 03-31-2007, 06:50 PM

Saw Hot Fuzz last night. Absolutely brilliant. Once more they have produced a film which is hilarious, but excellent as a movie in general, as well.

Alf Shall Rise · #**233** 03-31-2007, 10:01 PM

I saw Van Helsing last Friday. Not the most best movie, but it reminded me of Castlevania a bit.

What, because it had Dracula? Nice, nice one.

Plus it's far too long.

Anyone here a fan of Gilliam's Brazil? (Except you, Mutual Friend)

OANST · #**235** 04-01-2007, 08:57 AM

Brazil is amazing. Love that movie.

OddjobAbe · #**236** 04-01-2007, 10:59 AM

I just finished watching an the second episode of Only Fools and Horses: The Complete Seventh Series. Hilarious. Got to love Only Fools and Horses. Best ever comedy.

Arxryl · #**237** 04-01-2007, 11:01 AM

I, like many others, have just seen Happy Feet. It is a pretty good movie, if not sexually suggestive...

And it has a good message.

Leto · #**238** 04-01-2007, 10:06 PM

:

Good boy!

I found it in a bargain bin for $5! ****ing crazy I though. Hadn't seen it in a while. Also in the bin I the great $1 movies, Physco Cop and The Ring of Terror (that one was actually 0.45 cents... I bought it for the pricetag).

Alf Shall Rise · #**239** 04-02-2007, 12:23 PM

That just that, but the Van Helsing himself looked like a Belmont, and there were many creatures that were the same from Castlevania.

ziggy · #**240** 04-03-2007, 12:02 AM

I saw Blades of Glory, sooo funny. It's a really gay movie, but it's got lots of lol moments notstop. I recommend it, if you're into that goofy stuff.
