Drowsy Emperor Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) He's nailed the aesthetics (not that hard considering he partly invented them), but the CGI is looking very thin and dated. Fake? Ah indeed, I recognize the scene with Fassbinder from the new X-Men. Dunno where they scrapped the rest from.

LadyCrimson Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 This is the trailer I saw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg9laXAH-lk It's on imdb too. “Things are as they are.

Serrano Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Sorry Lady Crimson, my last post was originally about how the trailer for the Alien prequel was looking promising but then I realised that the trailer I had linked to was fake and removed it. Edited August 19, 2011 by Serrano
LadyCrimson Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Oh ok, lol. There were plenty of fake trailers for The Thing-prequel too, so... “Things are as they are.

Oner Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Hikaru no Go.Can't believe an anime about the board game of Go could be somehow so enthralling. And then eps. 60/61 had me bawling like a baby. I keep hearing how Kaiji is the bestest thing evar, and that's about Mah-jong.

CoM_Solaufein Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 True Grit the original. I like the Duke and I like this movie but I tend to favor the newer remake.

Raithe Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Fast and Furious Five. Ludicrous physics. But some pretty cars, and prettier women. Fun driving, a few entertaining crashes and some gunshots. So..generally amusing. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Labadal Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 True Grit, the remake. Went into this movie knowing nothing about it. Wasn't what I expected but was still enjoyable.
Shryke Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Drive Angry yet another terrible terrible movie starring Nicolas Cage. this one is on the same level of bad as the Wicker Man when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Morgoth Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Re-watched District 9. I really like Neil Blomkamps style. He just made a straight no-nonsense Sci-Fi movie. Can't wait for Elysium. He said it's going to be "very violent". Bring it on Neil! With Elysium and Prometheus on the horizon, there's hope no-nonsense, non-kiddy friendly Sci-Fi will be invigorated again. I also hope that leads to some decent game spin-offs (Obsidian?) Rain makes everything better.
The Transcendent One Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Watched on cinema Conan the barbarian 2011,i liked swarzenneger conan movies this not so much. Liked also captain america was a awesome movie ,but thor was better .
HoonDing Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I saw Green Lantern recently, I liked it less than Thor. Acting was pretty bad and the ending fight with Parallax was stupid. I really liked Mark Strong as Sinestro, though. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Orogun01 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 That was Mark Strong!? Typical reaction when someone says that Mark Strong was in a movie, the guy is a chameleon. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Blarghagh Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Well, that's the thing, I usually recognize him because I've watched Stardust a billion times. Sherlock Holmes, Kick-Ass, etc., but I had no idea he was Sinestro. That really confirms how good an actor he is, if you put a bit of make-up on him he's unrecognizable because his voice and manner changes completely with the character. I didn't even have any "that voice sounds familiar".

Pidesco Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I saw Thor this weekend. Good fun even if the plot was so very silly. I mostly just watched it because I'm looking forward to The Avengers.

Calax Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Re-watching Jet Li's "The One". Had to pause it due to laughter because they made a reference to George Bush outlining a universal health care plan before a joint session of congress. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Malcador Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Rewatched Naqoyqatsi. I still don't get this movie. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
LadyCrimson Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Rubber - a very very strange movie about a tire that gains sentience & rolls around exploding ppl's heads via "mind power." I liked it for about 60 minutes & the cinematography was actually pretty cool, but it gets old by the end. True Grit - never saw the original film. Kinda slow, kinda lyrical, some nice moments. Didn't really grip me much, but beautiful scenery. Plus I got to say "Is that Barry Pepper?" Wrecked - Adrian Brody really knows how to pick bad movies to be in, lately. Arctic Blast - lowish budget 'end of the world' movie...cross between ID4 & Day After Tomorrow, only instead of advancing alien spaceship shadows you have ... a deadly creeping ice fog via a hole in the ozone. Acting tolerable and at least at 2am, mildly entertaining in that bad-movie kind of way. Michael Shanks from SG-1 is the male lead. Collapse - documentary consisting of Michael Ruppert yakking for 80 minutes about how farked up the world will be when oil runs out. Stuff like that. Interesting topic imo but the guy's a serious doomsayer nut. I liked his line about crop seeds becoming a new currency in the face of starvation & economic collapse, tho. The New Daughter - Horror/thriller movie about a father who's daughter starts acting weird. Kevin Coster needed a paycheck I guess. I'm Still Here - I couldn't sit through more than 15-20 minutes. “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
Nepenthe Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I'm Still Here - I couldn't sit through more than 15-20 minutes. Considering the name of the movie, that's pretty hilarious. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Oerwinde Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Been slowly going through my list on Netflix. Art School Confidential - Pretty much sums up my views of the art world. Cashback - Was actually a charming flick. Even the douchebag characters you can't help but like. Anna and the King - Actually really liked it. After reading Shadow of the Hegemon I got all interested in Thailand and this just made me more interested. Machete - Dear god if you're a man and don't like this flick you should have your **** revoked. Robert Rodriguez is the king of fun turn off your brain action movies. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
