Ended up watching Freeman's Mind. It's a Let's Play style machinima of Half-Life: Source with the guy talking as Gordon the entire time. He talks a little too much, but I'm finding it hilarious.

Episode 27 is Gordon Freeman as a pirate. I can't breathe. hahahahaha

This reminds me of what Spoony did with his walkthrough of SWAT, where he spoke as if he was a police officer doing an episode of cops. The part where he tazed the mother in the first section had me :shifty: .

Karate Kid - The new one that is actually Kung Fu kid. Ok, I was a big fan of the original, I grew up with it really, but this new version was awesome. The setting was phenomenal, Jackie Chan was on par with Mr. Miyagi, and Will Smith's kid has some great acting chops.

Yesterday I watched The fighter and Unstoppable both great films

Working for the railroad, Unstoppable made me chuckle on a few points. Though, they were spot on how the 'corporate' aspect of it works.

Unstoppable is a good flick, as for the 'corporate' aspect, I think it's always the same across the world no matter what the business is be it trains, to auto parts and everything in between. Corporate greed=bad for the masses

I saw the picture of the new Wonder Woman costume. I was not impressed.

 

I also watched Inception a couple times, making it a total of 3. I know it's an 'interpret in your own way' type of movie, but I'm still convinced most of the movie is a mind-screw, and that he's still dreaming...that it may all be a vision of his own inception being done on him. And I was correct...his kids are definitely wearing the same clothes. There's only one time they wear different clothes, and it's not at the end.

Dang, someone told me they were wearing different clothes and I gladly accepted it, as that meant a nice happy ending. Now my world is a darker place, thanks LC :)

That's because they are wearing different clothes. They are very similar though. They are also supposedly played by a different set of actors in the ending scene. The kids wear subtly different clothes in the initial scene, the beach dream scene and in the ending scene.

Different clothes, different kids, are we sure he hasn't just walked into the wrong house by accident and they're too polite to say anything?

Sucker Punch is getting wrecked in reviews. :fdevil: I was going to see it, but I guess I'll wait to rent or a showing on TV.

Sucker Punch looks awful from the trailers, like a soggy jambalaya of every allegedly kewl internet culture meme EVAR:

 

Hot chicks in Japanese schoolgirl outfits with... katanas? CHECK

 

Counter-factual r/w history with a twist...? CHECK

 

Hi-tech firearms...?

 

Giant fighting robots...? CHECK

 

Impossibly large swords...? CHECK

 

A smidgeon of American gothic...? CHECK

 

DRAGEONSSSSSS? CHECK

 

My advice is to go watch Time Bandits which is what this movie appears to be trying to be, just with some heavily armed **** cat dolls. Honestly, if some smartasshat director thinks that's going to impress this high-ranking geek callsign then he needs to go back to work and try again. Harder.

Errr...not CHECK I think.

 

Sucker Punch's plot is - AFAIK - about a girl injustly imprisoned in an insane asylum who concocts an escape plan with fellow "inmates" which is presented as a series of fantasy adventures for the girls as the line between their realities and their fantasies blur subjectively for them.

So what would you call the strange WW1 stuff?

Its part of the girls' fantasies. I can't call it counter-factual r/w history because it doesn't claim to be historical; ie the setting isn't an alternate universe WWI.*

 

 

*as far as I know - with a title like Sucker Punch I'm expecting a swerve. Will know after I see it...

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

 

Which was just great from start to finish. Was also a vibrant blue eyes overload with Paul Newman and Robert Redford starring together. The bickering between the two throughout the film was priceless, I really liked the way they handled the ending, too.

But it's up there with Casablanca as one of the classic films about friendship...

Funny how movie titles gain a whole new perspective as one's mind becomes more corrupt. :(

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I saw SUCKER PUNCH and quite liked it; I think it isn't going to be a film for everyone. Its a heavy visual film; much of it metaphor since the story is a double layered fantasy about events that happen in the real world (that is barely glimpsed).

 

Kinda wish that hadn't cut most of the musical numbers - what we see in the end credits looked grand.
