kevinxabney Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Watched it last night and liked it a lot. I love Edgar Wright's style so much. I can't wait for Ant Man. First Scott Pilgrim and now World's End - he's more than proved he can handle action / fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I can't wait for Ant Man. First Scott Pilgrim and now World's End - he's more than proved he can handle action / fighting. The end of Hot Fuzz too. I listened to some podcasts with Simon Pegg while they were promoting the movie and his accent is so thick, he dials it back quite a bit for movies. It was thick enough where I didn't catch everything he was saying, surprised me. I only watched Clerks a few months ago - which is funny because I've seen just about every other Kevin Smith movie 30 times before that. I spent a good chuck of my teens and early twenties watching Clerks (and his other films) repeatedly. I don't know if it still resonates with me like it did then, but it was one of my favorite films for quite a while. I'd recommend trying to track down the Clerks cartoon. It's different, but it was pretty amusing. Chasing Dogma is worth reading (if you like comics). I can't remember if the Clerks comics were good or not, but I want to say there were.

kevinxabney Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yeah, I was really into Kevin Smith stuff in high school but got into a lot of it again via Comic Book Men - That show led me to the Tell 'em Steve Dave podcast - which led me to other SmodCo. junk which led me right back to the movies again.

Rip Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Watched Escape From New York for the first time last night. Definitely entertaining, was expecting more gore and action though for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Watched Man of Steel last night. Wasn't sure what to expect. I don't really care for "Superman" as a character or his world much, but I really like Z. Snyder, so was hoping he'd be able to pull it off. I was dissapointed. Lots of action and "realistic" super hero fighting, but in the end it's still a really cheesy premise and idea. Way too much time spent on Krypton and with Russell Crowe in general. Lots of backstory that's not as necessary for a character like this one. I was also not into Amy Adams as Lois Lane at all. She just looked really frumpy and dowdy next to this young guy who's ripped as fuck. They needed an actress than could stand next to him and actually look like a love story there would make sense. She just looked like his mom. Question for those who say the flick:Zod and his minions make their broadcast and show up to collect Superman, who has agreed to go quietly. Zod's main lady friend demands Lois also come with.... but why? I was very confused with that piece. Essentially all they did was throw her in a holding cell which she later escaped from with the help of Obi Wan... I mean Russell Crowe. Her being there made no sense. I'm not really sure how I feel about the destruction sequences either. I mean... we're looking at millions of people killed during Zod's teraforming attack... and then thousands and thousands more during Superman's fight with Zod. No one seems to care much though. It doesn't appear to be a big deal. Given the manner in which Superman beats Zod.... why didn't he just do that to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Watched Prisoners last night and I liked it quite a bit. It isn't something that normally wouldn't have showed up on my radar, hearing people in here talking about it piqued my interest. I normally have trouble sitting through a movie that's over two hours, but it kept me engaged for the duration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch. Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I saw Bad Grandpa last night. I had a real low expectation but I thought it was ok. It would probably have been a lot worse if I had just downloaded; the sneaky beers probably enhanced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 saw the hunger games catching fire. i really liked it--pretty spot on adaptation of the book. a lot of people were complaining about the ending, but that's exactly how it went in the book. the crowd was generally really stupid though.

ronniegwilliams Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Just finished "You're Next", and I don't think that I could endorse any horror flick within the last five years that way that I would endorse this movie. Some have called it generic or predictable, but what film within the genre hasn't been either of the two? The only times in which it would be considered predictable would be by those whom have watched far too many horror movies and would be able to call what's gonna happen, no matter the movie. Seriously, this film has redeemed most of the bullshit horror I've seen in the past couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaNoise Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I saw Catching Fire as well. I thought it was done much better than the first movie; the change of directors really helped push it to the next level. However, I still am adamant that Peter Jackson should have directed these movies because he did such a great job adapting LOTR and now The Hobbit- imagine what he could do with The Hunger Games. Nonetheless, the actors chosen for the other tributes were spot on perfect and the violence and other effects were just right. Yeah the crowd was funny, its so awkward when a movie theater claps together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stopped watching horror movies because they've become so incredibly awful, so I might have to check this out. Also, people who always try to guess what's going to happen next are not fun to watch movies with. I'm a big fan of buying into the fiction contract and letting the story unfold in front of me.

radiatorhums Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I watched the [REC] trilogy over the last few days. I'd seen the first one three or four years ago, but I didn't remember it very well (due to friends and beer being distractions). I liked 1 and 2 quite a bit. 2 picking up directly after 1 worked really well and made it feel like one long film, as opposed to two. 3 was a complete departure from the series and the choices made were very odd. Instead of being a handheld cam film, it was filmed traditionally. It also fell more into the horror comedy category. I liked it as well, but not as part of the series. I'm looking forward to the 4th one, but I'm really curious about what it'll be like. I'm hoping that it's more in the vain of 1+2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Watching "a band called death". Movie is OK. They really didn't do enough in my opinion to warrant a full documentary, though. Pretty cool that they shot interviews in my local record shop (Car City Records, now closed). The dude that put the record on sale for $800 on ebay sold me a ton of stuff.

I love FNL! I think it's one of the best shows in the last decade, up there with Breaking Bad and The Wire. Season 2 has one kind of spotty story arc, but it's solid past that.

Rip Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Slowly going through every season of South Park and American Dad. I'm up to the second disc in South Park: Season 3 and the third disc in American Dad: Season 1. I think American Dad is definitely Seth MacFarlane's best show.

fuckoffleatherjacket Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I started watching the Larry Sanders Show(I needed something light to watch at night that I could fall asleep to) and its pretty good. It's a lot better than I thought it would be its really quick-witted. Also Just finished the 5th season of the Sopranos which was fucking crazy.
