Punisher: WZ was fun times. Great level of gore, unique killings. Not much of a story, but I enjoyed it...

I fell asleep while watching The Spirit.....may have to give it another shot - I was pretty baked.

I watched Australia on the plane home the other night (and a really cool lightning storm out of the window). It was one of those crappy films that was clearly made for an Australian audience. Wocka wocka wocka.

I see what you did there...

Watched the The Day The Earth Stood Still remake the other day. Perfect role for Keanu Reeves, but I wanted to beat Kathy Bates' character to death with Will Smith's son's character's bloody corpse.

yeah, me too!

Is it a horrific mvie or not? Simply delineiating these movies as watchable or not is a very good seperaor of watchabiltyl

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Just saw Outlander, which I *ahem* t0rr3nt3d, as there was no way I was ever going to be paying actual money to see it. It is a stupid, stupid, stupid film... But nonetheless a fair bit of fun. Which I suspect is all it was meant to be; I mean, a retelling of Beowulf in which Grendel, his mother... and even Beowulf himself are aliens wasn't going to be the smartest movie ever made, was it?

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

IMO, it's watchable. Not great, not horribly bad...it's fast paced. Hope that helps:P

I'm 30mins into the original on tv. It is absolutely astounding! It is like some kind of chav manual. There are no words to describe the hilarity.

Just been pootling about and spotted this,

http://www.pajiba.com/trailers/hunter-prey...ser-trailer.php

Might be complete crap but it looked pretty cool and Apt, they've got shields !

Also I heard a while back, can't remember who/where, that they were going to do a remake of Clash of the Titans.
Does anyone know anything about this or is it a cruel lie.

Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.

Nice one.

I hope they don't make a complete balls up of this, i'm not even sure a remake is a good idea to be honest. The cast of the original, barring that himbo Harry Spamlin, was immense ( Olivier, Maggie Smith, Tim Piggott-Smith) granted they were 'hamming' it up a lot of the time. CGI needs to be spot on as Harryhausen's models in the original are timeless. I'm already starting to worry though with ref to this article, I don't remember Hades being the original and " Draco of the Praetorian Guard " ?!? What the fuck is he, Roman ? I hope they don't mash a load of history/myth together and come out with a mushy incoherent turd of a movie.....

Hmmm! Cool, although I started a thread on this remake a while back and the Pajiba article said it was gonna be a mini-series ? I don't really care as long as it's JUICY !

Huh, I don't know what I'd a prefer more, a nice FX network miniseries or a bonafide big-screen adaptation. The mini-series would undoubtedly allow for a more comprehensive representation of the book, but an honest 2.5-3hr, R-rated feature might be killer, if dude can pull it off - which, let's face it, is rather unlikely, considering it's hard enough to adapt a 400-page novel into a watchable movie, let alone an 1100 page one.

God, why are they going with "80s and present" rather than "50s and 80s" like was in the book? Makes absolutely no sense, since most of the 50s part of the book are very 50s. e.g. the wolfman and haunted houses etc.

Don't fuck with the Culture.

This should help.

Holy shit. Do you realize what this means? There's only one conclusion—one inescapable fact that must be faced, no matter how impossible. Armageddon—Armageddon is smarter than this movie!

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
