The Movie Thread

[ickle_jim]

its a known fact violence in movies isnt enough to make people violent themselves. You need to play violent computer games and listen to either heavy metal or rap music aswell, once you do all of these things your a time bomb ticking away.

Has anyone seen Dog Soldiers? Some say it's the best werewolf film out there, and some say it's rather bad.

I live in Bakersfield.

And am deeply concerned about a "Running Man" scenario developing if not in my happy little town then in general.

What you didn't see in the movie (never read the book) is the years of erosion of the rights liberties and creativity that lead up to the events of the movie.

Songs are banned.
Controversial artists thrown into prison or worse.

Commando made you gun down school children, too? Life is full of coincidence.

Last movie I saw in theaters was Two Towers. I've been a fan of the books since childhood and Two Towers being my favorite one, I knew it too well.

Jackson said that Two Towers was the film that most deviated from the book, and he was right on. Weird characterizations, plot is all skewered, and the Aragorn-Arwen love is once again over-embellished.

I'm nitpicking though. It's not as good as Fellowship but its still cool. Not great, but cool.

That's the longest post I have ever done.

I just saw the Royal Tenenbaums, and I can't see why some people like it so much.

I found it boring, it didn't really have a protagonist to identify with and the jokes were a bit too weak for a comedy in my opinion. I had to laugh (more like giggle) a few times but that's it.

Maybe it's my sense of humour, but I find Orgazmo way funnier than the Royal Tenenbaums. If I want to laugh I rent a comedy. If a comedy doesn't make me laugh then it's not a good comedy. Although it was better than NOt another teen movie. GOd that one was horrible.
