I'm particularly prone to confusion on these matters because I don't display anyone's avatar or sig.  Waste of bandwidth/hate the increased load time.

Whoever said The Descent sucked ass was 100% correct. Bleh.




Ill take credit for that.   

Now go rent Saw 3.   If you are listening to Slayer then I know you are down.   :yay

I saw it in the theater. I enjoy my gore on the big screen for the most part.  ;D
Maybe the voices aren't real, but, they've got some pretty good ideas...

Wathched This Film is Not Yet Rated. Typical whiny Hollywood stuff, but it had to be done. the entire thing is so ridiculous. you have to follow their rules, dont have another option and the mpaa is closely in line with all the major studios. and their rules are outrageous and ridiculous, unconstitutional and unamerican. yet its the only game in town. great stuff.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Saw a couple of those Pixar/animated/whatever movies that haven't been released on DVD yet...  :paranoid

Open Season - thought it was OK, nothing great.  The hunter might be a little creepy for kids.

Happy Feet - awesome animation and sound, and the music is OK (that "Hit Me Up" song on MTV and the radio is nowhere to be found in the movie), but I don't see how kids aren't bored with it after about 30 minutes and the novelty wears off.  It needed a storyline, so they decided to throw religious, social and political overtones into it.  yay!  Basically the movie tells us that your beliefs are bullsh** if they're different, you're a loser if you're different, humans suck, and zoos turn animals insane.  Thanks!

Crank  :cfhead :cfhead :cfhead 1/2 - Great from start to finish. Made me want to drink Red Bull and have sex with my girlfriend in public

Thank you for smoking  :cfhead :cfhead 1/2 - was good, not great. Thought they could have done a little more with it.

Crank is really that good? I thought it would completely suck.

It's different. The story never really develops into anything substantial but it's non-stop action. Take into account that my 3 1/2 rating is based on a 5 scale.

Which translates to a seven on the vigy scale.  You're welcome.

yeah but with the ten scale you get a more true number

a four does not equal an eight necessarily

on a 5 scale a four is often undeservingly given because you know the movie doesnt belong with threes but then when you see it at four only one star from a classic movie you are like "hmmm its not that good either but id rather have it there than with some of the schlock i rate a three"

so a four out of five many times would be like a 6-7 on a ten scale

capesh capish? capeesh? microfiche? capiche!

Notice I use halves? Do the math and tell me what that translates too.

i can't believe you Romes are arguing over a number scale that no one else cares about anyway
