I enjoyed everything about Ressurection up to the part where the queen suddenly has a womb and spawns an ugly white Xenomorph with eyes. It's just one of those movies that isn't good, but it's fun to watch.

Saw Oblivion the other day

Definitely think it failed at a lot of what it was going for, but I still really enjoyed it. Definitely had more creativity going for it than the fucking 4th Spiderman reboot or whatever comic they're still milking

I definitely thought they could do more with the ending, although they were already stretching the time out. Specifically, I would have liked to know what happened to the rest of the clones after the Tet got blown up

They probably wandered off to their towers and lived the rest of their lives up there with vickie or w/e her name was because that's what they were programmed to do

i doubt any of the others saw another of themselves, so why would they have a reason to do anything different? that's what i just assumed anyway

I finally got around to watching Django Unchained and sweet fuck was it radical.

I loved the cinematography, and I really like the way the scene where Candie and Schultz bite it was set up, specifically The contrast in lighting between the study and the dinning room, and how bright that white cake stood out.


Also I loved all the shooting and explosions: those were cool too.

World War Z is coming out soon. Judging from the commercials I've seen, it looks like it will have nearly nothing to do with the book. Just technical zombie-wise, they're runners, not shamblers like in the book. There's already talks about it being a trilogy series, and the screenplay writer said that it would be accurate to compare the film to The Bourne Identity.

Here's the kicker, though. The author, Max Brooks (Mel Brooks' son), had "zero control" over the screenplay, yet feels that the writer "found a way to tie it all together. The last draft I read was amazing." So if it does turn out to be shit on a stick, don't feel bad for blaming Brooks.

Just watched the phoenix wright movie. It's strange but good. There were a few times where the framing was off and the movie felt a bit dark. Maya was kinda inconsistent too.

But the choice of cases and the changes they made to tie everything together worked really well. There were some trippy things they did with their court system that I really digged.

It was just a fun experience.

I went with my sister to go see The Great Gatsby yesterday. I didn't dislike it, but the R&B music really took me out of the movie, and I could have done without the parts where the text and vocal narration were happening at the same time.

Oh, my head hurts... y'know what, I'm going to protest World War Z on its opening day. I have a Guy Fawkes mask, ma's store sells materials needed to make picket signs, and I have the feeling I'll be available from dawn until dusk that day. People need to know from the moment they arrive: they are purchasing a ticket to see garbage. And if anybody fucking dares to call me out on whether or not I've seen the movie, I'll throw it in their face that the trailer was bad enough a shit on the original book. It's like if the Twilight movies were even worse than they are, but the books somehow didn't suck and were true to the mythology. It's that bad. Can I get an amen?

They changed it now it sucks so now no one can enjoy it?

I'm going to watch it because I like zombie movies and I don't expect it to be like the book at all.

At least the book had a unique framing device and an interesting story. Now it just looks like Generic Zombie Movie #34918.

i'm gonna be honest here

most zombie stories have a unique framing device and interesting story

they have it so much that it's no longer a unique factor.

While I agree with one having his own opinion on something, even to the point of making it public, I can't help but feel that your plan is a wee bit obnoxious.

The last time someone told me a movie was going to be shit, I didn't think "Oh my God I had no idea, I'm going to see something else instead!" because I don't just wildly buy tickets for movies I don't think I'll like before hand for $15. In fact, what I did think was "Fuck this guy, I'll judge it for myself."

Shit, I caught wind that Oblivion was going to suck just because it had Tom Cruise in it, but when I saw it, it turned out to be one of the better movies I'd seen. Does World War Z look like it won't be following the book by the same name? No, but then again, I won't be watcing it to get a book I'd already read read back to me with Brad Pitt (just so we're clear I would still watch the shit out of that). I'll be watching it because it's a neat goddamn premise.

You can still do it if you want, I just want you to know you'll probably get nothing out of it besides a wasted evening that could've been spent on something more worthwhile...

...like watching a movie at the movie theatre...

Never thought much of the movie, seeing the sheer amount of zambambos kinda spooked me. After doing some digging, ho chizz is this movie a clusterfuck, read up peeps.

I heard Pitt and the director ended up having go-betweens when they needed to discuss shit because they refused to talk to one another. And I already know the movie was delayed for months because they were over budget and having other issues.
