Ahahaha! That's hilarious that you're trying this "I'll ignore the difference between real insults and trash talking and treat insults the same as trash talking to make him feel insulted and change his stance on trash talking", but in reality I just don't care and it just makes you a complete BITCH. So what's going to happen is that you're just going to be even angrier because you're so butthurt and I'm not going to ever care.

I do think it's RETARDED that my friend Monkey tries to reintegrate himself into this community and he does so in a way that is literally true to himself and funny and you guys take offense and then start just ripping into him. Really nice. What a nice community you guys are.

Guys, can we get back to the original topic of simply rating the last movie you watched and cut back on insulting each other please? I don't want to start issuing warnings.

Now that I think about it there only was that one and that was it, makes the movie even more dull.

Has anyone here seen the How to Train Your Dragon shorts? They're on Netflix, and I don't know if I should bother, what with the record animated straight-to-video sequels have had over the years.

Rented Dredd the other day.

The movie was okay, lot's of gore I guess, but the action itself isn't quite up to par with other movies I've seen.

Also, I get the feeling that for a Hollywood Blockbuster it had a relative small budget

I have yet to watch but will buy soon Steins Gate which is supposed to be a excellent anime show that got ranked really well.


ALso a perfect 10 goes to Cowboy Bebop the anime and Grave of the Fireflies the anime which are excellent show/movie in their own right I recommend anyone to watch these two shows their really well made.


Also I recommend a long running anime show called One Piece. It's a excellent show for all ages kids teens or adults. The only bad thing in it for kids is a lil bit of swearing but that is all.

Hey Fawful, looky here, Lil Kid is an otaku just like you.

Tintin is a terrible movie, and I say that without having watched it. Fawful, you know that I only ever disliked it because you love it so much.

As I type this I am watching the movie Monte Carlo. It's just another "oh no I discovered I secretly look exactly like this celebrity that I've never heard of before in my life and am now suddenly being mistaken for them" movies. The story isn't great. It's quite bad in fact. But the truth is Selena Gomez is hot, so I will watch her crappy movies and listen to her terrible music, because that's what guys do when a girl is hot. If you disagree with me then you're lying. Overall I rate it... 7/10 (Selena herself is an 8.5 obviously).

Last night I watched some B-movie called "Cherry Falls" about a serial killer who targets virgins. It had Brittany Murphy in it, and she was pretty hot. It also had Jay Mohr, and as soon as I saw the way he was acting toward Brittany's character I pinned him as the killer. The story was easily predictable, the acting was horrible, and some of the scenes were just awkward as hell (like the scene where Brittany decides she's gonna have sex with her boyfriend, and starts kicking him in the face telling him to bite her toe "harder, harder". What...??). I give it a 5/10 on the real movie scale, a 7/10 on the B-movie scale (coz Brittany's hot).

At the sake of going off-topic, I will just point out that nobody has the right to tell me what my own intent was. I never said my posts couldn't have been perceived as insulting, I only refuted that it was my intent. That's all I have to say about that.

And now that Monte Carlo is over, I'm watching Almost Famous. It has Zooey Deschanel in it. She's hot too. This is a really awesome movie. I feel like the gratuitous nudity was, well, gratuitous and unnecessary. But an amazing film nevertheless. I give it a 9/10.

We had free premium channels on Directv this weekend, so I caught a couple of movies.

Dream House 4/10

The acting was fine. It looked good. Didn't find the story believable at all; thought the actions of Daniel Craig's character were dumb. Didn't make me feel the least bit of tension or anything. Since this is a ghost movie, and probably supposed to be at least somewhat scary, that isn't good. I sat through it without shutting it off. Not sure why. It just felt like it was okay for no real reason.

Contagion 7 1/2/ 10
I found it interesting to see the work that went into tracing the path of a deadly virus as it moved around the world. There were some parts that were a bit slow, but overall entertaining. I liked most of the acting involved, other than Jennifer Ehle. I don't know what it is about her, but I can't stand watching her. Something about the faces she pulls maybe? Speaking of actresses I dislike, this movie gets an extra 1/2 point for bumping one off in the film.

If you hold down ALT and type the numbers 0189, you get the ½ symbol. Just so you know.

[Rather Dashing]

That and 7½ out of 10 could be more cleanly rendered as 75/100 or 75%.

[Alcoremortis]

Or 7.5/10. If you want to get fancy and use decimals.

[monkey_05_06]

Or 150/200. 300/400. 30/40. 15/20. 3/4. Etc. :P

True Grit 9/10
(Remake better than original)

Midnight in Paris 7/10
(sloppily executed idea, but how could I not like it with all those artist and authors in it? It's bit like Excellent Adventure with its tail cut off)

[solidnero]

Cloud Atlas

6/10

yeah, it starts off pretty funny, but towards the end it gets pretty repetitive, moreover the overall message of what the 'best' France is was pretty obvious

John Wayne could kick Jeff Bridge’s ass.

P.S. I’m going to go see Zero Dark Thirty. I let you know if it’s good.

[Johro]

My vote is no.

Rating - Don't Watch This Movie: Gangster Squad

So let me toss out a few things right off the top. Emma Stone is gorgeous in this movie. If you're into women, you might see it just for her. Because she's smoking. Also? There are some brutal kill scenes in this film. If you like seeing a guy get split in half while chained to two cars, or seeing a police office and a mob boss bash each other's skulls in with their fists in what has to be one of the epic beat downs of the last few years, you might want to see it. I enjoyed this movie as a sheer testosterone rush of sex and violence, so as a man, from that perspective, it was pretty good.


Other than that though? I'm not sure what it says that, going into the climactic final shootout and beatdown, I kept thinking to myself, "I'd rather be watching Scarface". Don't get me wrong, Sean Penn plays a heavy vicious Mickey Calhoun, mob boss of Los Angeles. He's the most interesting character in the film, but only because he's the villain, and because his acting's pretty good. Penn gets all the good scenes with murder, violence, mayhem and intimidation, so of course his character comes across as interesting.

But every other character is generally unremarkable. You've got a black, knife throwing police officer that's just... there. You've got a Mexican gunslinger that's just... there. It's like they tossed in the two minorities in highest demand right now in politics, just to point out that the police force fighting Calhoun was diverse. They just don't say enough to be interesting. It's not a matter of too many people filling the screen, either. Tombstone, a Wild Western film about a group of law enforces battling a belligerent criminal element had plenty of people on the screen, but they found ways to fill them with personality.

The most interesting member of the force is, ironically, an old western gunslinger still living in the Los Angeles area, and only because he's firing six shooters when everyone else is packing tommy guns. All the other characters are essentially lifeless, just good guys doing good things.

There's some conflict between Sergeant O'Mara, who leads the force, and his wife, concerning his role in an operation that could claim his life while she's on the verge of giving birth to her child. There's also some conflict between him and his intelligence officer, who wonders what the difference is between the police engaging in these violent activities and the criminals they're fighting. That's good material and it only gets lip service on screen, without real time invested into analyzing those internal conflicts. Because Gangster Squad is more concerned with looking pretty, putting period piece costumes on people, having them roll around spouting some somewhat cheesy period dialogue from time to time.

It's pretty. It's got a sexy girl. It's got men beating the hell out of each other between wild shoot outs. But it lacks substance, it's got some cheesy dialogue, and you never get a sense that the movie is more than black versus white. It does give some lip service to complex themes, but never explores them. So, overall? Maybe watch it, if you're looking for a rush of sex and violence. If you're looking for something deeper, rent it when it goes to your local Red Box or skip it all together.

That is sound and true. But it's also the reason why he was not exactly cut out for the role of ragged drunkard Rooster Cogburn, despite the Oscar he took home for it. John Wayne is a real ass kicker. And less of an actor. Also, a 22 year old playing a 14 year old: Not too great.

I figure we see most of her best scenes in the commercials they keep running for this movie. It is so heavily advertised, I suspected it must be completely awful, or they wouldn't have to do that.
