The SRK Movie Fanatic Thread (REVIEWS, QUESTIONS, RANTS, STARS...ETC.) EVERYTHING!

Watched Freedomland last night. What a piece of shit that was. I wanted to just strangle Julianne Moores character the entire movie, she’s soooo damn annoying.

here’s the imdb entry - it’s dated 2008, but it doesn’t seem to have a cast list or anything, just a writer and director…

The Last House On The Left is being re-made, with Wes Craven on as a producer. After being desensitized by all the Saw-esque movies, I don’t think anything they can do in the re-make will be quite as shocking as the original.

I actually thought Weeds got goofier as the seasons went on. That’s either a good or bad thing. I thought season 1 was more serious with the family dealing with the lost of their husband/father but season 2 and 3 threw all of that out the window and went bonkers. I honestly wished season 2 and 3 was more like season’s 1 tone but it’s still entertaining.

Michael Bay acknowledges what makes him awesome.

How the fuck are they going to remake Sanjuro without Toshiro Mifune? They will probably put some metrosexual pop star in the role.

Michael Bay, master of explosions.

i just ended up downloading 3 since i figure i’ll buy it anyway and i do pay for showtime. i think a lot of people might be turned off by all the anti-religious stuff in 3, they’re not very forgiving. plus for some reason nancy turns into a huge whore in season 3.

dunno it seemed like in 1 it was just hijinxes, but in 2/3 people were getting killed, dealing with more than just pot, etc.

i just saw they’re making a season 4, no idea why. it seems like the last episode of season 3 would just be a good end for the series, i wouldn’t be surprised if the next season sucks for that reason, but then i guess they would have to cut out that celia scene at the end.

i’m gonna have to pretty much wait for the dvd of season 3…i have a moral issue with pirating. in ur case, i think you’ve paid your dues as it were…

yea i’m usually against pirating, but they got my showtime money anyway and i’ll buy the blu ray who knows ha

looks like where the wild things are might be completely reshot

if WB does that i hope they release both versions like they did with Exorcist

Last few movies i watched

Brave One 7/10 Nothing new & the ending was ok
Mystery of Spices 2/10 Weird movie w/lots of mumbo jumbo indian talk
Gone Baby Gone 8/10 Figured out the ending & but still worth talking about
American Gangsta 7.5/10 Movie felt a bit long, like the story though

I just watched Paris Je Taime. Some weak shorts but overall I found it exceedingly enjoyable, touching and it even throws some “Fuck your preconceptions” at certain points. Recommended.

That’s the one with the red front cover, right? Has a really nice cast?

I went to see Jumper. It had some potential but Hayden Christiansen is such a bad actor. If they do the inevitable sequel the right way, it could be awesome. First thing to do is fire Christiansen. Fuck that dude. Even Keanu Reeves at the height of his “dudedome” was a much better actor.

i never seen a movie with hayden christiansen, but he does look like someone i would hate just from commercials on TV

i saw rambo 2 and 3 for the first time ever this weekend. kind of epic, but in a bad way. the first movie was so good then it just gets really unbelievable haha. i love how in the third one he was setting detonators all over all at 10 minutes except they exploded one after another all over the base. oh and he infiltrated a whole base with an afghani kid and a random pakistani guy. i’ve been around pakistani people before and you can smell them 100 yards away, so i don’t buy that

pretty crazy how no one wanted to make the first one and then stallone changed most of it and made it great. stallone gets a lot of slack but he seems like a really smart guy and knows the business very well.

i want to see 4 but now its out of theaters here :frowning:

anyone see diary of the dead? a theater not in the ghetto is showing it and wondering if its worth the 30 mile drive

You’ve never seen Star Wars episode II and III?

i never seen star wars 1,2,3,4,5,6

i wanted to see the originals, but i never got around to it

It’s surprising to hear of someone who hasn’t seen any of them.

How very queer.

didn’t have a TV growing up or through college

i bought a small one when i was in grad school, but didn’t really get into movies until like 4 years ago when i got a job editing TV shows for Discovery Channel and filming documentaries for an educational company

lot of “classics” i haven’t seen yet, maybe someday.

i really got into movies though when i bought my 1080p projector and home theater set up about 2 years ago

blu rays + HD DVD’s sold me

You went from not even having a TV or watching movies for most of your life to getting professional work in the television industry?

Very queer, indeed.
