zeppelinrocksnexttognr Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Finally got around to watching "the Raid: Redemption". Great action flick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Ken Park Yeah, ballsy film. Lots of questionable stuff going on in that and pretty much all of Larry Clarks flims. Ever seen his movie Bully based off a true story? That movie is in my top 10.Yep, I've seen Kids too.Speaking of Larry Clarke, I finally saw Another Day in Paradise. Not as good as his other films, but I liked it. I think I've seen all his work now. Edited May 13, 2012 by Lithium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Beauty and the Beast, sat down to watch it with the missus, was actually quite sweet y'know Do you ever find with birds that they expect you to compromise ALL the fuckin time and sit down and watch stuff that THEY like even though they know you don't, just for the sake of like, y'know, "do it for meee" and you do it and then when the shoes on the other foot and you're like, y'know, lets watch something you fuckin like it's always like, it's too scary, it sounds too sad, it sounds violent it sounds blah blah fucking blah. Apparently compromise is a one way street and it means do as she fuckin says or you might not get none later. Tis scandalous i tells ya, scandalous!

vicious Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 saw the avengers. didn't think it was nearly as great as everyone went on about it. i liked it, it was very funny but some parts dragged and the end fighting scenes just turned into a massive CGI mashup(michael bay style) that went on 10 minutes too longmaybe the movie was over hyped that raised my expectations too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I saw the avengers again. This time I understood what was going on. Also the first the 3D glasses sucked and I could see the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxocubeingravy Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Watched Sherlock Holmes 2 last night. Decent enough, although I'm not sure if I liked it better than the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) I went and saw The Avengers last night. This will be the last superhero movie (other than Batman) that I go to see. It was formulaic crap, with cheap laughs and monotonous action scenes that are too quick to take in with the human eye. And the 3D did nothing but add $5 to my ticket price.

wasted Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 they really ever use the 3D. at the beginning there was some shots of the stage. Roberto Downey Jr. got 50 mil for THe Avengers. 50 mil!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the first time I saw it the glasses weren't clean or something so I couldn't see the screen very well. I suppose Batman will be better. But it's still dude in a mask. talking in a very preposterously deep voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Nolan directing though, you know that the cinematography will at least be good. Prometheus is the only Summer movie that I have any expectations for.

I keep watching Inception over and over, I just like the music and how it's all put together. It's like a Sci-fi version of Mad Men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Watched this 90 minute PBS documentary on the Prophet Muhammad. Was really good, really factual and historical and not overly biased in it's assessment of the facts of, y'know, the historical context of the Qu'ran and stuff. It's difficult to find good documentarys on faiths, especially when they are sponsored by the faith in question but this one was REALLY good Don't suppose anyones gonna wanna watch it but just in case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7ALduQCmkg Edited May 22, 2012 by sugaraylen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 i've seen TONS of religious films and documentaries, i find that shit fascinating. I know The Ten Commandments by heart almost, the Charlton Heston movie i mean, i'm talking bout i could read for Vincent Price, Edward G Robinson, Yul Brynners parts. I find myself rooting for the bad guys though, which is quite silly I think it's something to do with the fact that the better actors play the bad guys, the actors i have baggage with. One of my favorite lines of cinema history is out of that filmPharoahs General: He opens the waters before them....and he bars our way with fire...let us go Great One, men cannot fight against a GodPharoah *imagine Yul Brynner accent* : Better to die in battle with God than live in shame!Now in how many ways is that the most supremely evil concept in the world, from a believers perspective, it's just delicious Basically, he knows Gods God, he knows he ain't got a chance but he STILL don't give a fuck! I think i identify with the wrong characters for the wrong reasons The Pharoah was the first badass! And Edward G Robinson, i love the expressiveness that he does his dialogue with, like, y'know, the disdain and disgust that he spits out the words with, it's brilliant! Or Vincent Price, with that indescribably beautiful voice of his, when he's captured Joshua and tied him up between those two pillars and he's whipping the fuck out of him and Joshuas like:Joshua: One day you shall hear the cries of slaves in bondageVincent Price *sounding smug*: This is not that day Joshua...*whips the fuck out of him* He just makes it sound wonderfully and supremely evil.

Race with the Devil has Peter Fonda and some cult or something. Anything with religion it just brings up too many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
