The last movie you watched?

^
I hope that post isn't censored. mr Censorship has went berserk lately.

 

Why would it? There's no ill will intended. Skaara can take a joke.

 

Lots of jokes that could be interpretative slightly as offensive are being removed. Like your one for the position of the religious leader/

 

Then simply don't take offense but suck it up and have a laugh.

Qué?

 

The one with an add for a new religious leader. it was removed.

 

Well, that's unfortunate. Twas a good one.

 

I dunn get it ._.

 

Oh... *Sad face... Tear*



Edit: What are your thoughts on "District 9", Cerberus? I'd like to know because I myself rather enjoyed the film from a sci-fi perspective.

 

Sister My Sister

Adored it! Unpredictable, very unsettling and slowly shifts to something horror-ish near the end.

8.5/10

 

Ridley Scott's "Alien".......

Nuff said..

 

Saw it again too last week. And went through all the extra's on the blu ray Anthology as well.

 

Glad to see another fan of the series... I don't care for Alien 3 or Resurrection at all. I think they were crap. Alien and Aliens were legendary films - I enjoyed how Scott and Cameron took the idea in two completely different directions. One is eerie, desolate horror while the other is in-your-face action and adventure.

I'm sure your response is somewhere on the forums, but what were your thoughts on Prometheus? The first time I watched it, I thought it was okay - but after a few other times viewing it, I absolutely love it. I think the Weyland still-alive B-Story wasn't necessary, though.

 

The Road

I really enjoyed it but I probably should have waited until I read the book before I watched it. I couldn't wait though, because I have just started reading TLOTR: The Fellowship Of The Ring so I want to read all of The Lord Of The Rings books before I make a start on The Road.

 

Resurrection, I can understand(*). It's Hollywood rubbish. Cameron's Aliens, while truly a landmark in cinematic history, is my least favourite of the three. I can't stand Cameron's military fetish and the movie itself is just too much of a glorified action spectacle. But my personal favourite is Alien³ Assembly Cut (the true version of the film). It's the darkest and most mature entry in the series. It's got balls by not presenting itself as a forgettable feel-good summer blockbuster. The atmosphere is brooding, its visual style and cinematography exquisite, the dialogues well-written, the characters fascinating and Goldenthal's score for the film is one that I, as a musician, find absolutely mind-blowing. Sadly, it's also a very flawed film but knowing how FOX butchered this nihilistic work of art, one owes it to himself to see the forest for the trees.

As for Prometheus... It's a smart sci-fi flick, smarter than the crap that gets greenlit nowadays, but I think its story is one that should be left to our imagination. Explaining the origin of something just kills the mystery...

EDIT: (*) If you haven't done so already, check out Jean-Pierre Jeunet's other films. They're phenomenal.

 

funnily enough, im watching 'The Road' tonight. Never seen it before, but i have read the book. You should pick it up vanilla, its fairly short - you can read it in a day - and in fact the preface recommends reading it in one sitting... Didnt think much of the books ending, so will have to see how the film turns out.

 

I liked the ending. I have the book, i'm just waiting until I finish reading the three LOTR books first.

 

One Hundred Steps.

 

So recently I watched A good day to die hard, Operation Argo and now I am watching Fortress of war (Брестская крепость)
A good day to die hard was maybe the worst Die Hard-film to date, because the punchlines were dry, the plot bad and the acting poor. I can't give it lesst than 3, though, because it's an action movie and it's special effects and stunts are good.
A good day to die hard:
3/5
Operation Argo was way more interesting than I expected and I was really emotionally drawn into it
5/5
And so far I'm liking Fortress of war, but I'll update this post when it's finished.

 

300! Most bloody, cool movie I've seen, maybe I'm being shallow but it is a movie I never get bored of

 

^ I feel the same way, there's just something awesome about it. I love that "badass motherfuckery" it has
