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

I just watched 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time. Wow. Pretty unique movie. Definately one of the more artistic movies I’ve ever watched. I enjoyed it.

On a side note, I love discoering little things in movies I should have seen ages ago, that suddenly cause other things I’ve seen to make more sense. Like the “giant space baby” in an episode of Sea Lab 2021, or the intro to that episode of the Simpsons where Homer is an ape among other apes and he’s sleeping against a monolith. No more losing sleep over those two things! :smile:

i saw it the first time alone and thought it was a joke. this is it? i thought to myslef while other people were freaking out. weaksauce:amazed:

I finally saw I am Legend…it was good even though I think it missed on the point of the whole “Legend” thing.

Will Smith was impressive in this move…

No Country for Old Men - Good movie throughout…Didn’t understand the ending with Tommy Lee though, probably have to watch it again…9 out 10

Huh?

Going to watch this now…

its pretty funny cause the legend status made more sense in the theatrical ending

but the original ending which is better, not so much

legend spoiler

Spoiler

because he cured the virus, so he is the legend who cured it, at least thats what i think. in the other ending i mean it doesn’t really hint on that he gets to vermont and ends up curing the disease like in the theatrical version

btw i think the omega man with heston is much better than this movie

Some reviews:

I watched No Country For Old Men a few weeks ago and it was good but not like Best Picture material (considering some of the crap (Crash, Titanic) they have given the trophy to though… maybe.). The whole thing is basically a glorified chase movie that uses the old theme of rednecks/other ignorant people stealing money from the mob/other people you should not be stealing money from and dying. The whole philosophizing about fate shit and the Tommy Lee Jones subplot with the paralyzed ex-cop were uncalled for. It also would have been stronger to have ended the movie with JAvier Bardem walking away from the car crash instead of Tommy Lee Jones eating breakfast.

The Mist sucked. The acting was terrible and the special effects were shitty CGI. If I was in that situation in the supermarket I would be like to the crazy lady once she started freaking out about hell and shit “Are you threatening me? Are you? I am going to have to ask you to leave the store. Someone escort her outside, by force if necessary.”

your description of what it was about is way off…the tommy lee jones subplot was not the subplot really, it was what the movie was about…

Roberth

Or just have him have a car crash & then end it right there & have like a coin spinning on the ground…

damn i loved the mist

the black and white version looks awesome

oh and N OCOUNTRY WOULDA BAEEN SO MUCH COOLER IF THERE WAS A HUGE SHOOTOUT WITH GUNS AND MATRIX STYLE AND THE GUY GETS THE MONEY AND THE GIRL AND IT ENDS HAPPY ANSD JUST DOESNT TRY TO MAKE AP OINT ABOUT SOCIETY AND LIFE I MEAN IM SEEING A MOVIE WHY DO I NEED TO THINK ABOUT THINGS TOO IF I DID ID JUST READ THE BOOK LOL

oh and FROM DUSK TIL DAWN WAS AWESOME UNTIL IT TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE B MOVIE I MEAN WHAT WERE THEY THINKKING TRYING TO BE DIFFERENT!!!

btw grindhouse 6 dvd box set is fucking best thing i own movie wise

the box folds out and posters for every movie

damn its nice

^
Better than the metal briefcase Blade Runner set?

yea the blade runner thing is a rip off, inside the case there’s nothing useful

i’ll take some pics of it later

there’s a funny interview on it where RR finished his movie way under budget and QT spent his half + RR left over and still went way over budget

from watching the movies you’d think planet terror cost a lot more than death proof, but i guess when you do everything [cinematography, direct, put family in the movie, music, special effects, etc.] yourself you can save some money

oh and premonition is the greatest time continuity movie ever made

sandra bullock!!!

can’t believe i bought that crap on blu ray and watched it

but i love that broad

sig - so one of the grindhouse discs has the american theatrical cut with all of the trailers and the shortened versions of the films?

Movies I watched this weekend -

Bride of Re-Animator: really crappy dvd, full frame, bad sound, very grainy. I enjoy most of Brian Yuzna’s stuff but this one really pales in comparison to the original classic. You can tell it is a direct precursor to RoTLD 3 though

Reform School Girls: I’ve been trying to complete my Sybil Danning and Tom DeSimone oeuvres and this one took care of both. Classic stuff, not quite enough boobage but a great finale.

Alice, Sweet Alice - this movie is hilariously over-acted. Strangely attracted to the bad little girl. A few good deaths

Night of the Creeps - not as good as I remembered. some fun 80s makeup efx though

House Party 2 - not as good as the first

im pretty sure that is what it said in the description that he had the link to…

im outi

Roberth

yep, full theatrical with trailers, commercials, and shortened version

Fuck I was reading up on the Grindhouse boxset and I’m tempted to pick it up, I’ll just have to buy an upscaling dvd player since my upscaling BD drive isn’t region free lol.

oh yeah Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2 finally comes to dvd on tuesday. part 3 and 4 have been out on a crappy artisan double feature dvd with full frame transfers and part 3 being the tv edit so hopefully they will re-release those. the sequels are actually pretty strong.

tommy lee jones “subplot”?! that’s like saying the “mafia” subplot of godfather was not needed…

Wow, uh, that actually would have been a pretty awesome ending. :tup: Like fate is flipping the coin to decide whether or not to take Anton’s life.
