Oh yeah, it is GREAT CINEMA! Move over Fellini!
I'm waiting for the porn version to come out.
Honestly, I'll probably get it, though it was one of Frank's worst and I think he should have scrapped the comic (historically it was shit also, not like him), but I will put it next to 16 Candles, Conan and Porkey's where it belongs.
It was no Big Numbers or Dark Knight, that is for SURE!

Also, gonna buy Pathfinder. Saw it at the movies - I liked it.

Just saw Pan's Labyrinth.
Loved it.

Hot Fuzz wasn't all it was cracked up to be IMO, tonight I'm going to watch Zodiac, which also got good reviews.

Ibby · 08-02-2007, 09:41 AM

Downloaded the Simpsons Movie.

So far, nothing special.

smurfalicious · 08-02-2007, 10:01 AM

300.

Saw it in the theater, but Man had to have it and watch it horizontal and in hi-def .

Chewbaccus · 08-02-2007, 06:58 PM

Still waiting on the "wholesalers" to sell some copies of 300 to the local used DVD shop

I loved HotFuzz. But, I am a huge fan of that particular comedy team (and the ever gorgeous Pegg, obviously) and I saw it at the cinema which gave it a bit more bite.

Zodiac was excellent.

Tarnation - From the description, I had expected something poignant, perhaps even sad. What I got was bitterness. The filmmaker expresses hate of himself, his mother, the mental health system, his grandparents, nearly everyone in his life. There was an opportunity here to humanize his mother's story, but I guess that wouldn't have been interesting enough, or hurtful enough. Film of his mother shows her at points of stability, rather than during exacerbations of her illness. I did not like this movie, even though I tried to be able to appreciate it on some level, any level. Jonathon Caouette filming himself taunting his post-stroke grandmother reveals his character.

Afro Samurai - Coolest dude with a sword in future Japan

Children of Men - Kind of dingy and dark, but it works for the plot. See this movie.

Watched Hot Fuzz as well - Too Funny - one favorite part is the "big guy" running "thru" the fence.

Life In The Undergrowth was awesome!

Been watching the first disc of Planet Earth, also awesome!

jester · 08-08-2007, 12:00 PM
