Anyone seen a good movie lately?

Nicholson was only good for his first 15 lines per scene.

You mean.. he was only good AFTER his first 15.

Hot Fuzz... entertaining. Worth a watch if you liked Shaun of the Dean but not nearly as good. Not one scene where I actually laughed, but fairly constant chuckles. Probably won't ever watch it again. 5/10

Also, finally saw the original Dawn of the Dead all the way through instead of catching it in 25 minute chunks between humping your sisters. Neech.

Anyway, it wasn't as scary as Night of the Living Dead (and not nearly as scary as the DOTD remake) but a REALLY good movie. 9/10

`Star Wars' fans get marathon screening

1 hour, 41 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES - Seventeen hours in a darkened theater not so far away? Welcome to the "Star Wars" marathon.

A free showing of all six "Star Wars" movies began Wednesday morning at the Los Angeles Convention Center and was expected to end at 2 a.m. Thursday.

The event kicked off a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the release of the original film.

Several thousand people showed up for the screening, which included brief intermissions.

"Because the saga spans 30 years, it spans multiple generations of fans as well," event spokesman Jonathan Zaleski said. "There are people in costume, families. It's an interesting mix."

"You get the usual assortment of Storm Troopers running around," he added. "I imagine it's pretty uncomfortable to sit for 17 hours encased in plastic."

Lucasfilm Ltd. supplied the digital prints for the movies and is involved in "Star Wars Celebration IV" at the Convention Center. That event, open to fan club members Thursday and to the paying public Friday through Monday, was to include costume contests, exhibitions of movie props, autograph opportunities from "Star Wars" celebrities and even a Storm Trooper "Olympics."

Holy shtein.  That's freaking nuts.

and not nearly as scary as the DOTD remake

it must have been a comedy then...because the dotd remake wasnt remotely scary...great movie but not scary...in fact it had more humor than horror

[rjs246]

The remake had enough scary moments to be appealing to horror fans and enough tongue in cheek moments to keep it interesting.

Anyway, the original is more character study/social commentary than horror. In fact, it wasn't really scary at all outside of apocalyptic themes being inherently frightening.

[ice grillin you]

the og looks unwatchable
the citizen kane of horror movies

[ice grillin you]

actually i was thinking of night of the living dead

but the original dotd looks like some zesty toilet paper too

[rjs246]

Liar.  Like anyone can keep you from seeing the dreamy Orlando Bloom on the big screen.
