Uh while I don't speak Dutch I'm pretty confident to say that the text is fake. Well, I speak Dutch and I can tell you throughout the translated english version is actually milder than the Dutch version.

On the upside, the capabilities of the actors were a lot better then the original. On the down side, they went with a "my name is conan, you killed my father, prepare to die!" storyline. I think thats what lost it a lot of points. The dialogue was the standard ropey sword & sandal type, but it looked fairly decent and they obviously worked at trying to deliver their lines with real intent. Some of the fight scenes got a bit messy and hectic. I'd have liked to have seen where they'd have taken it with a sequel, but that's kind of doubtful now. It looked good, but it had no tension. I think that's the biggest problem with this movie. Despite his godlike status, Khalar never seemed like he would be a match for Conan. All in all, I enjoyed it for being truly a B-movie, but while The Scorpion King felt like a bad version of Ahnuld's Conan, this one felt a lot like a worse version of The Scorpion King. At least that movie didn't take itself so damn seriously while doing things so incredibly silly.

Thank God it's the last one. The Reboot's been announced. ?_?

I agree, Cameron does have a huge ego and it needs a good pounding, and Ridley Scott is a better director (though I feel he's made a few clunkers, no director is perfect). I think Cameron has a similar problem to George Lucas in that he doesn't get challenged anymore. His decisions are met by an army of Yes Men and not by critical thinkers.

Why does does contributing to the film medium make something a good film? I've never understood this. I've seen Citizen Kane. I know it's pretty much the biggest contribution to the film medium ever. Doesn't mean that it's not on my list of movies to change the channel from in fear for my mental health because it bores me to braindeath. I also don't feel Avatar is completely devoid of merit, if anything it still made meaningful contributions in effects technology and it was an artistic endeavour on the part of James Cameron to create something that felt real. The fact that he failed at that (although there seem to be plenty of people who disagree on that assessment) does not mean it was meant as a shallow cash grab. James Cameron very obviously believed and had a lot of passion for this material and believed in his story. Failure or not, it's unfair to compare it to "for teh explosiunz" flicks such as Cowboys vs Aliens (with all due respect for Jon Favreau, I feel that his approach to directing films is to make something entertaining, not something meaningful) or Independence Day. Agree to disagree? At least it's not Transformers. If there's any film series completely devoid of merit it's that. It epitomizes all the things geek culture decries in filmmaking and yet they won't stop going to these films, to the point that every subsequent film in this series so far has made more money than the previous.

Man, whatever I was expecting of The Dark Knight Rises, that wasn't it. That looks fantastic. Are you nuts? Obviously Avatar was essentially Independence Day. It's like I'm always telling people that Herbie is essentially Citizen Kane. I don't see the connection between Avatar and Independence Day either. I always felt it was more like Dances With Wolves (which was a ripoff itself, if you want to classify all "going native" stories that way) meets A Princess of Mars. I don't get the hate for it, the story was not the point of that movie anyway so why do people focus on it? It was plain and simple spectacle, and it succeeded at that very well. Plus, in Star Wars the farmboy became a knight to save the princess from the black knight's fortress. Story? Meh! I don't see the need to focus on the stories in these kinds of films. I think movie goers have just become too jaded. If it came out during this day and age Star Wars would never have succeeded.

Cowboys vs Aliens was just Independance Day during the west. I don't understand the love for it. It was entertaining, but very stupid.

I thought he just sang the song, pretty sure Shaft was Roundtree.

I certainly hope you're wrong. I know the is involved, but I hate it and I hope they're reduced to very little influence. There's no reason to go dipping back into that storyline, they finished it off. I hate second death star plots. And even though I know is an established character in comic canon, relatives showing up in sequels is almost always a sign that the movie is going to be terrible, canon be damned. Here's my prediction for Dark Knight Rises.

Are you Denis Leary? How dare you steal Bill Hicks' routine!

That and anything that needs retargeting is essentially not worth mocapping at all, it'll be more work than keyframing it by hand.

Needs more Christmas Spirit.

While I like christmas, Krez does have a point. The thing is, though, is that Christmas possibly acts as a gift bottleneck. Plenty of parents and spouses go "ooh, I should get this for my child and/or significant other... wait, I'll wait 'til Christmas, it'll be a good gift for then!" so I think it might even be counter to waste. I think the bigger problem, from an environmental standpoint, is the horrible waste of all these decorations and leftover foods that just go into the trash. Or am I thinking too positive about people? I know I give my girlfriend gifts as often as I can just because I enjoy the look on her face.

I vote for Life Day!

Good luck homie. Thanks Tig. It just that this group seems so much worse in comparison to the group I was in for my other class where everyone showed up to all the meetings, work was done on time and without complaint, and there was no insulting the capabilities of other group members. Why couldn't I have had that group in both classes? All 8 of us were taking both classes anyway. My current group hates me because they came up with a game concept that's tiny but they think it's a lot of work, and when they came up with it and the manager divided the work I said "oh, so we're going to take the easy way out this semester?". Sure enough, they're all hard at work and failing deadlines while I've got until the end of january to space out about five hours worth or work.

Liam Neeson has always alternated the magnicifent with the horrible. He was in Krull for godsakes.

I still feel dumb that it wasn't until after the Guy Ritchie film that I realized that House is essentially a medical Holmes, with Wilson as his Watson. Here, it even sounds alike!

Keep in mind that these scans are from EW. They photoshop and airbrush everything into ****.

I've been using one of those daylight wake up lights for a while now, didn't think it did anything. But now I've spent a few nights at my parents place because my apartment had a bug problem, and I didn't take it with me, and I feel exhausted all day.

Didn't Stephen King write a book about this?

Now that's chaos theory.

Scratch that, Ashley is the new Steven Tyler.

If only. But as much as a I love Gargoyles, they're not leading by any stretch of the word. They were barely leading back then.

Perhaps he dropped her off first and then went in search of a parking spot. It's not a huge stretch of the imagination.
