Maybe a little bit of variety, if it's just going to be the exact same film i would rather watch the original and far superior film. Paying money for something i have previously watched before and in a much better film makes no sense to me sir.

I don't get all the hate for Taken 2, I loved it. Sure, it's basically the same movie, but what else would expect out of a sequel to Taken?

It's not the same movie though, far from it. The first wasn't a masterpiece by any stretch but it was a great, exciting and dramatic action movie. The second is awful in every way. The writing is lazy, it just floats along without really building up to anything and the climax is laughably bad. Neeson stumbles his way through the cringeworthy dialogue and the fight scenes are a terribly choreographed jittery mess with the editor splicing it every 2 seconds... it's embarrassingly bad.

With the glaringly obvious product placement in every other scene (everybody in Istanbul drives a Mercedes) it's clear they're just squeezing every penny they can out of the surprising success of the first film.

Dark Knight Rises comes out on blu-ray on December 4th.

And I pre-ordered Ted even though I haven't seen it. Looking forward to it. :)

When is ted out ? I have to admit i used to have a huge blu ray collection but sold it becouse nowdays i download blu ray rips

Ted comes out December 11th. Check this site out for any blu-ray info: www.blu-ray.com :)

Also, not to turn this into the blu-ray thread, but unless you're download the BD rips that are like close to, or over 10gb, you aren't getting anything close to the quality of a real blu-ray, and even then it's not like the actual disc. Also, it depends on your TV/speaker set up, so in all honesty, it might not matter to you as much as it does to me. I download them also, but I can easily tell when I put in an actual blu-ray, how much better the quality is, especially in the sound.

I agree with everything in this post, but I still liked it. I found it entertaining.

Watched:

A Time to Kill - Samuel L Jackson, Matthew Mahogany and Sandra Bullock, black bloke drills these two white guys for raping and trying to kill his 10 yr old daughter, the rest is like a courtroom thing trying to get his some justice in Mississippi.

Liam Neeson is pretty good, though I haven't heard of Liam Nelson. I'll have to check out this movie you're talking about.
