Surreptishus Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Ugh... Myspace. I'm pretty annoyed that this movie will open in the UK 2 weeks afer the US. <_< I just cannot wait that long
Judge Hades Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Catch a plane, watch the movie, then head back.
Surreptishus Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Catch a plane, watch the movie, then head back. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There were some brits who did that for The Phantom Menace. On average it cost them around
Laozi Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 (though they brought back Super Memory this month, grrr), <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Supermemory, wtf? So did he have super sense of humor too? Seriously? 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.
Judge Hades Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) For Phantom Menace, I but they would be. I wouldn't spend more than $2 USD to see that movie. Edited June 22, 2006 by Judge Hades
Krookie Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Come to think of it, I snuck into the theater to see Phantom Menace.
Meshugger Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 The film will probably not suck, but it won't be Superman without Christopher Reeve (i blame my childhood memories). I can't help having a soft spot for the hero Superman though, since many of the other heroes are a bit too emo-ish for me.

Dark Moth Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 As much as I want to see it, I gotta admit, the Superman outfit looks so cheesy on a real person.
thepixiesrock Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Kevin Spacey is playing Lex Luthor. That alone is enough for me to watch the movie. If I had a favorite yogurt, then Kevin Spacey would be that yogurt of movies.

Judge Hades Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I think they did a good job, at least of what I have seen, in keeping the feel and look of the original movies.
jaguars4ever Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Come to think of it, I snuck into the theater to see Phantom Menace. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fire-exit Sneak or Movie Hopping Sneak?
alanschu Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Fire-exit sneak is so 1980s. It's all about the movie hopping sneak.
jaguars4ever Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Quite right Brother Alan. You can never go wrong with the old hopperoo. DISCLAIMER: This post in no way advocates theft of theatre passes from Cinema corporations or their subsidiaries thereof. Kids - stay in school and say NO to drugs!
alanschu Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 With the big megaplexes, it's almost too easy. My roommate and I can watch movies no problem, and one day we were board and successfully got in 5 movies. Of course it usually means seeing a crap movie as filler. We didn't quite see all of Boogeyman, but we got the gist of the movie. Maybe missed the first 20 minutes. Off the top of my head, we saw Million Dollar Baby, Hitch, Boogeyman, some other thriller, and ended with Hide & Seek. We just did the 5 to see if we could one up the 4 we did a long time ago. The Mummy Returns, Crocodile Dundee in LA (haha, lameo thriller...though my roommate had never seen any of the dundee movies so all the old recycled jokes were new for him), and then One Night at McCool's.
jaguars4ever Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 While I applaud your tremendous effort, I can't help but sympathise with your plight, Alan. For you see, the Happy Hopper never even has to miss the first 20 minutes. It's all in the planning you see. You don't hop blind, but you print out the schedule for you designated cinema. Next, crease the page along its horizontal & vertical axes, and fold and slip it into you pocket. At the opportune moment, this surreptitious sheet will show you the way...
alanschu Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) We don't hop blind. We went exactly into every movie that we planned on going to see. We use http://www.edmovieguide.com which is conveniently a movie guide for the Edmonton area. From there, we plan our movie adventure out. It may have been possible for us to catch 5 movies without missing any part of any movie, but at the same time we also have some movies that we want to see. Edited June 23, 2006 by alanschu
Kor Qel Droma Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I always thought that Chris Reeve was just too plain skinny to be a convincing Superman. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
LadyCrimson Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I love Zod, over the top goodness. Hackman's Luther seemed great in it's day but on re-viewing it feels over the top in the not-good way. Smallville's Luther is great. Too bad the rest of the show, imo, isn't. Reeve was a good all-purpose Superman but there could be better. I don't think this new guy will be it, tho. If Kevin Spacey wasn't Luther I probably wouldn't see the new Superman until it was a $1 DVD sale. “Things are as they are.

astr0creep Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 If Kevin Spacey wasn't Luther I probably wouldn't see the new Superman until it was a $1 DVD sale. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a hard time believing that. This is like a lot of people on this forum that were thrashing Oblivion before it came out and most people here ended up buying and playing it. Hype is hard to resist because it's basically brainwashing. 3 months ago there were already Superman Doritos in grocery stores and threads like this one only feed the hype. You may not go see it on release day, but you'll go see it. I'd bet a pseudo cookie on that but Dark Raven already won the only one I had... :D http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
LadyCrimson Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I've seen 4, maybe 5 movies in the theater in the past 12 months. When movies come out on DVD, well, let's just say 90% of the time, if my husband didn't bring them home all the time, I still wouldn't see them till they came out on TV...and even when hubby rents them, I don't always watch them with him. When it comes to films, at least, I can usually resist hype. I like movies but my serious passion for them cooled about 10 years ago. :cool: “Things are as they are.
