Deraldin Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 It wasn't six times in a 2 week period! It's nine times since May 11th... that's eleven weeks! Pfft. Nine viewings in 11 weeks is nothing to be ashamed of. 11 viewings of a recent movie in 13 days? Now that might be bordering on obsessive...

Perhaps, but at least it's "cool" to be obsessed with TDK... No one's even seen Speed Racer... Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.

Deraldin Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 We all know it was Sex in the City. That was released a month earlier!
theslug Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Yay! Someone else finally saw it! It wasn't six times in a 2 week period! It's nine times since May 11th... that's eleven weeks! And honestly, after the first time I saw it, I really didn't mean to see it again in the theater... but then I got a chance to see it at the IMAX while I was out of town and well, I couldn't pass that up. And it was that viewing that I fell in love with this movie. So then after seeing it in IMAX I had t see it on the regular screen again to compare the experience... then... I wanted to see it again before it left the regular theaters... and then I've seen it in five times since it came to the cheap theater (at the beginning of July - that's 4 weeks!)... and right now, I'm planning to see it tomorrow with the kids again... but that *should* be it until the DVD comes out in September... on the 16th... I'll be at Wal-Mart at midnight... Anyhow! On the Racer X thing... No, I don't think the Wachowskis ever really meant for the Rex/X "twist" to be a twist. At least not for the fans of the series. The movie is full of scenes that make it perfectly obvious who he is and in the series it was always known that X was Rex. I think they included the "reveal" to Speed to reinforce the themes of grief that run all through the movie. One reason he wouldn't reveal his identity to the family is that he is an agent for the CIB and if it got out that he was actually Rex, the family would be right back in danger again. Another reason is a bit of a tribute to the anime in that X never did admit it to Speed, even though Speed confronted him about it several times. Then, of course, there's the obvious have to save something for the sequel bit (which we're not going to get *pout*)... but overall I agree with you. There's no reason X can't tell the family he's Rex... except that he's a big coward and doesn't want to put *them* (him) through that again. Now for Spritle, as annoying as he was, he was pretty damn perfect for the role. I could have use a little less of the sugar fueled insanity scenes and more of the cut scenes that showed him as more of a person and playing the same role to Speed that Speed did to Rex. But overall, I have to say Spritle and Chim Chim have grown on me considerably. I absolutely love their anime imaginings and the look on Chim Chim's face when he sees Cannonball. And now... a breathtaking image from the film... Announcer: Oh my god! Did I just see that? A rear single set jump into a flying kick? I know he blew it at Fuji, but this kid is flat-out magic!

Hurlshort Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Alpha Dog - It was ok. The story was really interesting, but there were a lot of hard to watch moments. It's also a pretty insane example of what bad parenting can lead to. Seriously, there wasn't a decent parent in the bunch, there are just terrible decisions after terrible decisions. And I didn't have much sympathy for the kid. He was a 15-year old idiot in the movie. Hopefully that was pure fiction, despite the true story it's based on.
taks Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 i finally watched saw III. meh. i heard it was gory but not as scary/suspenseful as the first two. i found it to be neither and i saw the ending coming a mile away. the first one had that "holy ****" aspect, and the second one hit on my all-time worst fear: needles. when that chick jumped into the pit of needles and started screaming i almost passed out. i couldn't watch. i've heard the 4th one is pretty good. guess i got to wait till it hits showtime. watched pulse not too long ago, too. sorta boring. it seems like my wife and i watched the new house of usher, too, and she got bored and went to bed. apparently it picked up towards the end but i don't remember the details so i'm guessing it still wasn't all that great. i saw the original with vincent price eons ago and loved it, but i was a big vincent price fan as a child so my judgement is biased. taks comrade taks... just because.
qt3.14159 Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Found it! Why does a movie need memorable quotes? I saw it the other night, and it was fantastic. If anything, the lack of dialogue helped the film by focusing the designers and the audience on the Keaton-esque silent comedy (and tragedy). The first 20 minutes-- before there was even a single word of dialogue-- was the best part of the film. Because reciting sound effects and acting out the on-screen action to people who have yet to see the movie just doesn't have the same effect. I agree with you completely that the lack of dialogue in no way hurt the film. It was impressive just how much they got the characters to express with just a few simple motions and just four words. I just wish it was longer. 90 minutes seems so short. I really liked the movie. So much so that I've already seen it multiple times just looking for things that I missed in prior showings. So it was Wall-E? 11 times in 13 days? damn, that is obsessive... So I saw SR for the 10th time today and it was just as awesome as all the other times. Actually a little better because they moved it into a slightly larger theater with a larger screen and it was a little more in focus than it had been the last couple of times I'd seen it. Though, still no where near as sharp as on imax or the digital projection I first saw it on.... I am SOOOO gonna have to get a blu-ray before September... I did confirm that this is the last week it will be showing... I'm sad now... Mostly I'm sad for all the people who will eventually see this on video and be going, "holy crap, I could have seen this on IMAX?" Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.
