Hurlshort Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Speaking of Del Toro, his giant sea monster versus robots movie looks interesting. Pacific Rim, I believe?
Oerwinde Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Indeed. Very much looking forward to it. I heard he was interested in tackling Dr Strange for Marvel as well. Would love to see that, but his Justice League Black one will have to do. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Morgoth Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Dredd was never big in the States to begin with. I would still love to see a sequel get made nonetheless. Rain makes everything better.
Oerwinde Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 It only made a couple million in the UK too The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
LadyCrimson Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 So do they include cable On-Demand in sales figures these days? Would that be lumped into DVD rentals? “Things are as they are.

Kor Qel Droma Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I think they have their own category. I did a second viewing of John Carter and The Dark Knight Rises over the last few days. TKDR still put me to sleep in the first hour, but the second half was somewhat better. And I still like John Carter. And I finally finished the last two episodes of BSG. The fourth season didn't wow me too much, except for when they found Earth . Overall, I was pretty impressed with the series as a whole. Saul Tigh grew on me ever so slowly. Didn't care for him much during season one and two, but by three and four he was just about my favorite character. I think next up on my que of things to watch is the final season of Fringe, and possibly The Prisoner. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Lexx Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Crazy, Stupid, Love. is a good movie. Also watched Drive a short while ago. Pretty cool and fancy soundtrack. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
aries101 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I just watched on DVD the movie Snow White and the Huntsman - a very, interesting take on the Snow White story. Speaking of dwarves they are vert different than any dwarves I have any seen. One of them says this: if you start humming, I'll slap you...because one of the others dwarves started singing 'hey, hey to work we go'. Very, very funny :D I've also just watched Total Recall (the new version). To me, it is even better than the Total Recall movie with Arnold S. as the main character. It seems to take the short story We can remember it for your wholesale by Philip K. **** seriously.... I've also just watched My week with Marilyn which is the best portrayl of Marilyn I've seen yet, both as a person and as an actress.

Hurlshort Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Iron Sky - Campy and entertaining for the most part. It was a bit heavyhanded at the end with the whole anti-American thing, but I still got a kick out of most of it.
Hormalakh Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Yeah. Crazy, Stupid Love was a surprise. I generally don't like these movies because it's just about Dating Culture and that's just boring. Of course, I didn't know Steve Carrell was in it. My blog is where I'm keeping a record of all of my suggestions and bug mentions. http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/ UPDATED 9/26/2014 My DXdiag: http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/2014/08/beta-begins-v257.html
Hurlshort Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Crazy Stupid Love was pretty awesome, but I thought it was less of a romantic comedy and more of a bromance film between Ryan Gosling and Steve Carrel.
Lexx Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Ryan Gosling is a pretty cool dude, by the way. I'll have to find some more movies with him. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
BruceVC Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I watched the Life of Pi in 3D on Friday. Amazing movie, highly recommended. The storm scene must be the most realistic scene I have ever seen for a storm. You felt like you were really on the ship. "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
Hurlshort Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Ryan Gosling is a pretty cool dude, by the way. I'll have to find some more movies with him. That's a pretty good idea. I watched some movie with him called Driver recently. It was a bit of a tribute to the 80's, but he was very good in it.
Raithe Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 For an interesting twist, saw this : "What are some good movies that can be boiled down to a premise that doesn't sound like a good movie?" (Example: Five high school kids meet in detention. -- Breakfast Club) How many can you think of? "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
JFSOCC Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Watched Dredd, was a well crafted movie. Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.---Pet threads, everyone has them. I love imagining Gods, Monsters, Factions and Weapons.

Oerwinde Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Saw Madagascar 3 today. I actually thought it was the best of the 3. Though why Monaco's animal control was allowed to operate outside of Monaco I don't know. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Raithe Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Guns, Girls and Gambling One of those Christian Slater straight to dvd type movies. He looks like he's having fun with it. A tongue-in-cheek "mistaken identity, everyone thinks I have something and is trying to kill me" action-comedy films with a few twists. But yes, if you have Native Americans, an Indian Indian (From India), Jeff Fahey as "The Cowboy", Elvis Impersonators - Gay Elvis, Midget Elvis, Asian Elvis, and Elvis Elvis (played by Gary Oldman), corrupt Sherrifs, Powers Boothe as "The Rancher", a Prostitute, a 6' blonde assassin, and a frat boy, all wound up in a story involving a priceless Native American artifact stolen from a Casino on a reservation.. Nothing too stunning or brilliant, but generally amusing and entertaining. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Starwars Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Still holding off to see The Hobbit since I wanna see it with a particular person, but I re-watched the Lord of the Rings extended edition trilogy these last few days. Basically I'm not too hot on the Two Towers, but really love Fellowship of the Ring and Return of the King. Two Towers just feels messy to me, and with plenty of changes from the books that I have quite the hard time with. It just doesn't strike that chord for me that the other two do. And it's kinda weird since, if I remember correctly, they were all shot at once. But it's still somehow a palpable change for me in the second movie. Ah well. But yeah, man do I get weepy at the end of RotK. While there is understandably so much cut, it's really wonderful to see how much time Peter Jackson could give scenes like the final farewell at the Grey Harbor and so forth. So many scenes in these movies should be horribly sentimental yet he makes them work most of the time and that is certainly something. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Katphood Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Finished watching Django Unchained. It was pretty good but I still prefer Inglourious Basterds. Also, DiCaprio's acting was pretty awesome. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
HoonDing Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Hearts in Atlantis. Pretty faithful adaptation of the book. I liked it. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

I know a couple people who were pissed at some of the changes that after hearing Peter Jackson's reasoning for making those changes were much more accepting.
