In fairness to IGY, the villain did take female form a couple of times in the film.

Only so he could masturbate.

The man. The myth. The legend.

The Crazies.  Not horrible but super generic. 

You have to be talking about the new one because the old one was awful and it has everything that I normally love.

I just finished Terminator Salvation and I actually really enjoyed it. Michael Ironside and all of his dialog was awful. The 'mute' kid thrown in for no reason was awful. The Arnold cameo was awful. And my expectations were minimal. But I enjoyed it a lot. The dude who played the hybrid was great. The action was great. The special effects were great. The story was great (I mean, for a futuristic post-apocalyptic movie with robots).

It wasn't a great movie, but it was really enjoyable and so much better than I thought it would be.

Spot on.

I watched it a few months ago, I thought I'd have a tougher time suspending Christian Bale's tirade to enjoy the movie, but it exceeded my expectations which were extremely low going in.

same here...it was nothing special, but it was good enough

I can't watch Batman Begins or The Dark Knight too many times and that makes hate myself.

The Human Centipede

QuoteInternationally respected Siamese twin surgeon Dr. Josef Heiter has a demented vision for mankind's future existence. He wants to remove human beings' kneecaps so they have to exist on all fours and then surgically graft them mouth-to-anus to form a centipede chain. When two stranded female Americans arrive at his luxury home-cum-hospital looking for help, his long-gestating plan swiftly moves into chilling action with a shocking force. Kidnapping a third Japanese male tourist, he begins the tissue matches, teeth removal, and buttock moulding to create his triplet creature... The First Sequence in Six's intended trilogy features truly unforgettable imagery, clinically dazzling direction, and a so-far-round-the-bend mad doctor performance from German superstar Dieter Laser you'll scream. Behold the grotesque New Flesh. If you dare!"

coming soon...

july 2012 set by warners for third nolan batman movie

im pretty sure bale and the main cast members are locked in to it, too

nolan has not touched a script or anything yet
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.

I'm pretty sure Bale has said he'll refuse to do it if Nolan isn't the director.



Wonder what direction they're gonna go. It has to be The Riddler at this point......but I don't know enough about the comics to know what other direction they could possibly take.
farg Heath Ledger for dying. farger.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

After watching "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus," I miss Heath Ledger a lot less.

The girl in it is pretty hot, though.

Finally watched A Serious Man. I admit that I'm at a complete loss about what the Coens were trying to communicate with this story. Were they chastizing people for allowing life to happen to them rather than taking charge and having a say in one's existence? Were they just making a series of observations about certain aspects of Jewish-American culture? I seriously don't know.

The writing was excellent as always. Not dialog-driven, but the dialog that was there was snappy and effective as the Coens always are. The film-making was great. The story was a total loss for me.

Also watched some dreck called Deception with Ewen McGregor and Hugh Jackman. Crap.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

Tried watching Righteous Kill last night for the 3rd time and I fell asleep.....again.  I know Pacino and/or DeNiro movies are often overrated/overhyped but they still usually turn out to be entertaining.  This one just doensn't do anything for me.  I wanted to like it and stay awake for the whole thing but I couldn't.  I think I'll give up trying to watch it now.

The Informant! - flat out awful.  probably the worst movie i've seen in 5 years.  i don't care if it's based on a true story or not, it was stupid and boring.

Rome

when was the last good movie that deniro or pacino made?  donnie brasco is the only one that comes to mind for pacino and ronin for deniro and those movies were released, what, almost 15 years ago?

that's awful.

At first I was thinking you were off your rocker, but then I looked up the movies Pacino has done.  He really hasn't made many movies over the last 10 years and I've only seen 2 of the movies he's been in during that time.  88 Minutes.....which I thought was ok.  And The Recruit, which I thought was a little better than ok.  Donnie Brasco and The Devil's Advocate were the last 2 movies he did that I really liked, and both came out in 1997. 

Similar story with DeNiro except he's put out more movies in the last 10 years than Pacino.  But yeah, looking through the stuff he's done, there isn't many that I've seen....because they either didn't look good to me or I've flat out never heard of them. 

It's weird because even though I know they haven't done any spectacular work in quite some time, I didn't realize how neither of them has really done much of anything in the last 10 - 12 years. 

Ronin was farging great though.

Saw The Wrestler. Can't say anything new about it than what's been said, but I liked it. And I think Tomei looked great.
