I don't ever want to see Alice in Wonderland.

 

EVER!

EVER!

 

Why is that?

[Guest Shockwave]

when you're forced to be one of the forgettable characters for halloween, you get resentful.

I saw GI Joe today for the first time. I found it decently priced and picked it up.

 

I have to say, I really thought it was awesome. That, and Sienna Miller is so damn @#@*$#@ hot. Yes, hotter than Megan Fox.

 

I want me an Accelerator suit.

Don't we all?

Yeah I was surprised by the movie. I thought it would be lame, but it turned out great

Sienna Miller is ridiculously hot in that movie. Yesterday in Sociology, we were doing some icebreaker game to get to know people. It was "I'm seeking common ground with [enter some quality of a person here]" Someone said "I'm seeking common ground with someone who has seen GI Joe." Someone else replied "Sadly". I really liked it, to be honest.

 

 

I'm a huge fan of IMDB stalking people, downloading movies and finding hidden gems.

[Sir Exal]

You're all idiots re: GI Joe.

 

Anyway, just saw Audition today on DVD. Officially the most disturbing movie ever. Go watch it.

Cough Cough *Looks like it sucks* Cough...sniffle.

[Guest ThePoet]

The A-Team? Really? Why would Liam Neeson tank his career like that?

 

Since we're sharing, I am looking forward to Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe. I have a hunch it will be Gladiator ten years later, but Gladiator is awesome. Also want to see Iron Man 2 and Harry Potter. Stupid Harry Potter. I made fun of the books for a long time, the my wife made me read them. Sadly, I'm now an addict.

Part of the reason I won't see/read Twilight. What if I actually LIKED it?

There is only one reason for reading/watching them.

 

You lost a bet.

2nd reason.

 

You've been captured and tortured by enemy forces.(AKA, female relatives)

1) The trailer for the new A-Team is out and it looks horrible. After Qui-Gon, is there really any role which could make me hate him more? Neeson's career peaked with Darkman.

2) I haven't looked forward to a Russel Crowe movie in a long time.. and Robin Hood? Why did this need to be made? Crowe is a decent actor, but even he can't wipe away the stench of Kevin Costner.

3) Iron Man 2 will be good, and I'm excited about the addition of Mickey Rourke and Don Cheadle. Less so Scarlett Johansson, though she'll look good in leather. As long as they focus on that instead of - you know - letting her talk and stuff, it should be fine.

4) As I have kids, watching the Potter movies is mandatory. I'm glad they are ending it though, as I'm tired of feeling guilty about finding Hermione "cute as a button" in Potter 1 and "totally doable" in Potter 7.

5) Life Lesson Learned for Poet: Wives are evil and ruin your life. Avoid them at all costs.

[Guest Shockwave]

2nd reason.

No, cause then you can pretend to fall asleep or get up and leave the room/theater.

 

Although a better 2nd reason is that you're going to get lucky.

[Guest boston_celtics]

I read Twilight, and Harry Potter, and watched the movies, of my own free will.

 

Why?

 

Metallica puts it best. "What don't kill ya, make ya more strong."

Seconded man...just...no

 

Never thought buildup would be so effective

[Guest Shockwave]

Okay, I didn't see a thread for this, but it is a bit movie like. And I hate to admit it, but Turtles Forever was good. It was released by 4Kids, but still...it even had the old school gritty turtles.

 

If you haven't seen it, here's the link:

Not Metallica. It's actually a famous quote by Nietzsche

 

Now that that's out of my system.

 

Better statement:

 

Which Trailer during the superbowl was the best? and which was the worst?

[Guest Forge]

Not Metallica. It's actually a famous quote by Nietzsche

Methinks Boston was right.

 

It's a long way off, but I'm looking forward to Prince of Persia.

[Guest boston_celtics]

Nietzsche used proper english in his statement. That was a line from "Broken, Beat, and Scarred."

[Landon]

Nietzsche used proper German in his statement. That was a line from "Broken, Beat, and Scarred."

 

Had to do that.

[Guest boston_celtics]

Had to do that.

 

Ooops, my bad. Completely slipped my mind he was german.

I want to punch anyone who honestly thinks Avatar was either the best or most meaningful movie of the year.

[Guest Soberguy]

Avatar was a good action movie with a wholly unoriginal plot, sketchy dialogue and great special effects. It was fun to watch, but it was hardly Oscar-worthy. MAYBE you could argue a nomination, but there is no chance that it's the best film of the year.
