SteveThaiBinh Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 End of old topic I'll be stopping by the DVD shop later today and hoping something will jump out and say "Watch me!". I haven't seen a decent new film in ages. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Gorth Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Not really a movie, just a few more episodes of Rome season 2. Then I listened to the Bladerunner soundtrack for a while and took a look at my old DVD. One of the very first movies I bought, the media is beginning to show it's age, scratches, cracks, stains what have you Maybe I should get that big box of all things (theatrical, directors cut and some even more extended/complete version) Bladerunner on blu-ray. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tigranes Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Hrm. Does anyone have an idea for a flick I could send my parents to for Christmas? Was planning on Opera, theatre or classic/jazz concert but there isn't a right one at the moment, so a simple movie/dinner treat will have to do. I won't be going. Problem is, stepdad's a kind of dull fellow in that respect. Unlikely to go for anything too funny, too dark or too weird. Probably likes multicultural stuff, though. Any "steady ship" movie around?

Gorth Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 That sounds terribly politically correct Sorry, not much help there. It's the stuff I try to stay clear of at all cost. I suppose The Rocky Horror Picture show wouldn't be a good idea (even though the 25th anniversary edition is awesome) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Kelverin Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Tropic Thunder Lasted about 20 minutes, then turned it off and did something more entertaining. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Hurlshort Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I thought Tropic Thunder was worth watching based on Robert Downey Jr.'s performance alone.

Gorgon Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 57.2% There were a lot of black and whites that are probably considered classics, but that you would never see unless they happened to be on tv. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Amentep Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Just 58.4% which doesn't say much beyond I tend to watch trashier films than some of those that got listed. And there were a lot of modern dramas I skipped. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Kelverin Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 74%. Weak. Not bad, not bad at all. I am missing old movies (hard to get, or not interested) and have not seen some of the new ones listed. yet J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Hurlshort Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 48%. There were a lot of movies I remember seeing bits and pieces of, but I don't remember sitting down and watching the whole thing.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Guess I'm average. 56.8%. In my defense, many of them are on my "to see" list, several of which I have lying around the house. And others are just fairly recent movies I haven't had a chance to see, or didn't care much for; with a couple of exceptions, I tend to stay away from the Pixar plague. I was surprised with the amount of old movies I remembered seeing, though
taks Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 anything with john wayne in it i've seen. my dad was a fan, to say the least. they didn't list any laurel and hardy or abbott and costello movies, however, which i've probably seen all of. either way, i too was amazed at some of the old movies i had seen, but forgotten. live 40 years and that happens i suppose. oh, i was something like 55.6% or similar. taks comrade taks... just because.

Volourn Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Dragonheart - Entertaining movie. Fantasy done right. The villain is such a tool. L0L Chasing Amy - More evidence that Ben Affleck is simply underrated as an actor. Fantastic movie all around. Also, currently mid way through Xena Season 4.

Trenitay Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I also recently saw dragonheart. It is indeed a very good movie. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
LadyCrimson Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 On cable this afternoon I watched a 1996 Aussie film called "Dating the Enemy." I turned it on because it had a pre-LA Confidential Guy Pearce and I was curious. But it was one of those tired-plot body-switching movies - guy and gal switch bodies etc. So I didn't expect much but I thought maybe it'd be mildly amusing. Despite a few good jokes that worked (guy in the woman's body having menstrual cramps, stuff like that) it was abysmal...one of those films where the movie stars wished they'd never had to do, I bet. “Things are as they are.
