Gorgon Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 I especially like that he is thinking on the run and relying on his own initiative rather than silly gadgets and dry martinis. Although the basic premise of being a secret agent on the run is going to get old eventually. If there is no resolution it's going to be like one of those TV series where nothing ever really changes. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
mr insomniac Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) Unforgiven I love this movie, but then I love most Eastwood movies. Hackman: "You just shot an unarmed man!" Eastwood: "Well he shoulda armed himself, if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend." Classic. One of Clint's finest. Yep, agreed. One of my favourite movies of all time. EDIT: Oops. Just finished watching the LOTR Extended Edition movies over the past few days. Edited June 30, 2007 by mr insomniac I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Wistrik Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Unbreakable - awesome, just awesome. The Machinist - ugh, though I enjoyed the playing of the Theramin (sounded so much like The Day the Earth Stood Still). These guys obviously don't know much about insomnia. I could teach them a few things.
Hiro Protagonist Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Just came back watching Transformers. Its surprisingly good and that the concept they introduce the transformers in the movie is in a much more believable and realistic, in a science fiction manner. Notable actor would be Shia Belouf. His performance certainly cracked up many audiences in the theatre with his on screen improvisional jokes. I liked how they used the same guy who did the voice of Optimus Prime in the cartoon. And there were plenty of references to the original series and comics.
Kor Qel Droma Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Blood Diamond. Decent movie that gives you a lot to think about. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
astr0creep Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Doesn't Transformers come out next week... ? Office Space. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Omelette Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I went to the preview release, for the critics to critic and all, of Transformers. I wasn't expecting much because it's a Michael Bay film...yeah... But I was surprised. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was. It was a rather decent film to go and watch and it gave me a bit of nostalgia, too. If you liked the show and the toys, then I think you should see it. It was decent enough to go watch and the way they transformed was so fluid and beautiful. Definitely check it out.
Krookie Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Return of the Jedi was on before, so I watched a bit of that.
theslug Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Unbreakable was on tv so I watched that. Cool movie, bruce willis and samuel are usually good actors and i thought it was a good movie with a good ending. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

Kor Qel Droma Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 I caught the Passion Of The Christ for the first time since seeing it in theatres. I forgot its basically a torture film. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Wistrik Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 A second The Bourne Ultimatum trailer, with a bit more info. Apparently the movies are based on books (I haven't read any Ludlum) so there's hope for an eventual conclusion after all (not that I mind these movies). Watched... Hulk.. earlier. Sorry, I'm just not into comics, but I did enjoy watching him tear stuff up. His dad was a mess . I readily noticed Natacha Atlas' vocals in the background. Rawr.

The Bourne movies are loosely based on the Bourne books. The books were Cold War era spy novels, whereas the movies have been updated. I only read the first Bourne book, but the character was a lot more hardcore than the Matt Damon one. More neutral in his attitude towards being an assassin, less tormented soul.
Hell Kitty Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 There are actually 5 Bourne books, though only the first three are by Ludlum.
Oerwinde Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 just finished The Maltese Falcon. It was ok. Good ending though. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

The worse parts for me were the whole spiderman goes emo and him strutting down the street. I thought WTF??!!11?

Tale Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Got my ticket to see Transformers at 8! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Kor Qel Droma Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Got my ticket to see Transformers at 8! Be sure to use the spoiler tags this time around. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Omelette Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Got my ticket to see Transformers at 8! I think you'll like the movie. I wasn't a die hard fan or played with the toys a lot, but it was entertaining. And it's better than what I expected from Michael Bay.
Tale Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Got my ticket to see Transformers at 8! Be sure to use the spoiler tags this time around. I never use spoiler tags when I lie. It ruins the fun. HEY GUYS, I JUST SAW TRANSFORMERS AND THE X-MEN SHOW UP AT THE END TO KILL JACK SPARROW! So, Jazz turns out to be a Decepticon spy. I want to say I saw it coming, but I really didn't. There were little clues around and I'm kicking myself for not noticing it, but I didn't see it coming. The entire thing was masterfully done, I'm sure I won't be the only one that is experiencing this. What the heck?! Transformers was absolutely awful. Megatron turns out to be an RC car. I mean that literally, he's about 3 feet tall and Starscream steers him around by remote. The plot centered around both the Decepticons and the Autobots eating the humans for fuel, which really made Shia Lebouf's character seem like an idiot siding with either of them. If I feel like really riding the edge, I make a fake spoiler that's just the opposite of what's going to happen. That way people go in expecting it to happen, then get incredibly surprised when it doesn't. But what's more beautiful is nobody can tell anyone else that I lied without themself revealing a spoiler.

And it's better than what I expected from Michael Bay. I'm a big Die Hard fan. One of the first DVDs I got when I got a DVD player. That and Seven Samurai. As for Transformers, I'm not one of the big obsessive fans. My main interest in the series was actually Beast Wars because of the way the show developed and actually ventured into more mature concepts in the latter seasons. I'm not expecting any similarities to that in the movie. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Deraldin Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 I went to see Live Free or Die Hard today. As an action movie I thought it was really nice, however the whole plot to steal everything was really poorly thought out and such a thing would never be possible in real life, because I can't imagine a government being that stupid.
