Laozi Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 The Omega Man The beatnik zombies really put this film over the top, that and the only cure is Charlton Heston's blood. I'm surprised they haven't remade this one, but in the end glad that they haven't. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Hurlshort Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 For those of you who seem to hate Sixth Sense...did you know about the plot twist? I had no idea, and I thought it was brilliant. I think that's one of those movies that requires you to be clueless going in. I actually disliked "Signs" but mostly because of the ending. I thought "The Village" was better. It wasn't because of any plot twists, as they were pretty predictable, but just the whole attempt at a Utopian society was interesting to me. It reminded me of The Giver. Adrian Brody was pretty good too.

And there's a "zombie boss" that wants him to join them? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Laozi Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) Ya, that's the one. All the zombies, being zombies, have to hide during the day time. I think it was this movie that let the NRA know they had their man. Edited March 8, 2006 by Laozi People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

kumquatq3 Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Anyone see Ultraviolet? I liked Equilibrium alot, so I have high hopes. NightWatch is...eh...
Baley Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Equilibrium has quite possibly the most risible ending in the history of film. I'm gonna jack off to Johnny Depp in Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man. Wish me luck, God-Fearing Champions of Good.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Watched "To sleep with a Vampire" on the horror channel. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]

Kor Qel Droma Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I watched Rocky II last night. Was number 3 the good one? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Surreptishus Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Nah, Rocky is the good one. Rocky II is the same thing with a different outcome. I'm not sure of the point of Rocky III - avenging the death of his trainer who died of old age? At least it has Hulk Hogan doing his best wrestling ever. The film also has plenty of not so subtle homo-eroticism. Rocky IV - ermm, he avenges the death of his friend against the USSR? Then he preaches unity. Rocky V - tries to go back to its roots or something Rocky Balboa... who knows?
Baley Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Catch-22 Decent adaptation, I strongly advise reading the book first. I'd have preferred a mini-series or a more surreal interpretation of the events, but the finished product is still pretty damn good.

Don't forget that one of the better outcomes of Rocky III was Eddie Murphy's great stand-up routine about Jedi Mind-tricking Mr T. :D OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
