BigSqwert Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 07:26 AM) The book is probably the most depressing thing I've ever read. Same here. I actually had tears in my eyes at the end. I've never cried reading a book before that. On another note, watched Enter the Void last night in bed on Netflix streaming during our power outage. Fascinating film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You easily have the best taste in movies out of the usual suspects in the film thread. Clearly i don't always agree, but we have eerily similar likes and dislikes. I can't recall your take on terminator salvation, but it's doubtful you think it is a masterpiece of epic proportions like someone else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamtheHBOMB Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 09:57 AM) Indeed. I had to look away. What is up with Gaspar Noé doing that? The very end of Irreversible is seizure inducing too -- a minute or so of a flashing black and white screen for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) An interesting op-ed from Pixar's John Lasseter. I particularly enjoyed reading about the new character, Danny Caca, they will be introducing soon. EDIT: Stupid swear filter. You'll have to replace the asterisks in the hyperlink to the obvious letters that are missing. Edited February 3, 2011 by BigSqwert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigklita Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 "The King's Speech" was awesome and Colin Firth gave one of the best performances I have ever seen. He should be a shoe in for Best Actor. I'm holding off on my vote for Best Picture because I haven't seen them all yet but of all the ones I have seen (Inception, True Grit, Toy Story 3, The Fighter, The King's Speech, 127 Hours) "The King's Speech" would get my vote.

I picked up The Road, but when it started off in that same writing style, I just refused to put myself through it again...is the movie watchable?

Kyyle23 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Chicago representing hardcore on the Transformers 3 trailer. The scene with Optimus Prime going off was pretty cool to see, looks like there will be quite an invasion/battle scene. It is michael bay so it will probably suck, but the robot fighting should be cool. Thor and Captain America trailers were pretty cool too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it comical the amount of people who immediately buy in... I was watching the game with some buddies, and I said "Thor was like the lamest character", and one of them replies "Thor is awesome", and I replied, "have you ever read a Thor comic book?" He of course had not. I cannot buy into Thor, such a lame character. The Captain America movie looks solid, even if the costume should have been "movied up".

Brian Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The Thor trailer makes it look cheesy and I don't have much interest. If the reviews are good, I'll check it out. Same with Captain America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
