I haven't been out to the movies lately. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is coming out in theaters on April 29, 2005 and I would really like to see it. Hopefully it will be very good. I am waiting on seeing the movie version of Frank Miller's Sin City; I found the graphic novel to be a bit excessively violent even for my tastes. I liked 300 however by Frank Miller. I will probably wait until I have a bunch of free time. I think I'd be cross eyed after watching it for an hour or two. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

there's nothing coming out soon that I want to see. but I caught Danny Deckchair last night. Not incredibly funny but as good a romance as I've ever seen. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

I saw Sin City this weekend, and really enjoyed it, but man, was it violent! It certainly pushed the "R" rating to the fullest extent possible. If you see it, I can promise you won't look at Elijah Wood the same way ever again. :) I'm actually looking forward to Episode III, though I have great misgivings after Episode II.

I'd like to see Sin City, the new Star Wars, and probably Hitchhiker's Guide. I'm also wanting to see I, Robot, because I hear it is kinda cool.

I didn't know Hitch-hiker's was coming out this month. Nobody ever tells me these things. Still, I'm a fan of the books, so I'm looking forward to it, plus Harry Potter 4. Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

(tons) Kingdom of Heaven. Because. Just because. (and also I've been hearing/reading about this project for years and it's good to see Ridley Scott do it. I don't care if it's not faithful, it a bloody flick (they'll claim and boast all sorts of things, as those braggarts usually do. meh. Sets. Costumes. Jeremy Irons. Tons of extras and pixelated people swarming upon each other claiming to do it all for this god or that or this honour or that. Yes. Please. For reality and what actually happened during that time I already went to college for. I want action and blood and melee fights up the wazoo. It satisfies my very simple taste. Sin City. Gods. Movies like this make be very spiritual and believe in god (I'm kinda serious) because if so, then maybe there is a Heaven (or Hell, whichever) where I can go and spend more time watching movies like it. I've been a fan of Miller since. . . longer than the cockroaches have been around. I almost got a tattoo of Marv, but a friend of mine already had one, so there. Robert Rodriguez has been falmboyant and fun enough as a director that I've enjoyed all his flicks, some more, some less (From Dusk 'Till Dawn is a fun Vampire massacre film, and it's got a very cool and eclectic cast (the weak link, Mr. T, gets killed soon, thank the gods, excellent director, cruddy actor)) Sin City will come to this country some day, but I can wait. I'm almost certain I'll think it's a brilliant master piece. Also, as a very, very neat note: RR left the Guild because they refused to accept Miller as a co-director. This movie, from what I've been told by my friends who saw it and the preview is not an adaptation. No. This is The Comic on Celluloid (or digital). Pretty much. Man. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Episode III. Thirty years, nearly. Had to put up with Jar Jar. Had to put up with seeing Lucas turn so many of his fans away. It all comes to this. All of it. Finally. Finally after May 19th my life would have had a meaning (I'm a little more serious about this than I should be). The rumours say that the final battle is anywhere between 8 and 12 minutes. Holy Hannah (and her sisters)! Imagine an average, 9 minutes. With the intensity those Jedi fought back then (and I love the Vader/Luke dances, even the Obi-Wan/Vader dance in IV) But like this. It's even going to get, very likely, a PG-13. All Jedi die (except Yoda and Kenobi) Vader gets to kill a few of them himself, hand to hand, in the movie (take a look at the trailer you can see him doing so) I've seen that trailer too many times (three times a day as a dead minimum) Batman Begins: Please. Please. Mr. Director sir, your Memento was excellent and brilliant. Your Insomnia was not bad at all. The trailer looks like Batman bloody well ought to have been and may finally be. Please. Please. Hitchiker's: Meh. Loved the first three books. Trailer looks pretty and loud. More than that? We'll see. Fantastic Four: Oh, crap. One of my favorite comic tiles (specially the first one hundred or so, brilliant, brilliant stuff. Absolutely) ever and. . . I suppose hoping to see Galactus is too much. I get Von Doom, but he lives in New York (it just keep getting better, and better) The guy who plays Johnny Storm sucks rotten eggs as an actor, but, again, Johnny is flamboyant prick, so he may be able to pull it off. The Thing looks okay. Smaller than he should be, but I am glad they went with make up more than CGI (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: may have sucked on many levels, but its Hyde was better waaay better than Van "please stop making movies mr. Sommers, The Mummy was you masterpiece and let it end there" Helsing.) King Kong. My man. My monkey. My Jack Black. Mine or I help you not. Sorry. Anything that Peter Jackson has ever done has rocked my world. Since the first I saw by him (BrainDead, yes indeed. Indeed!) to his early ones to his serious one (Heavenly Creatures) to his mighty Epic popular ones (LotR) to one of the Most Awesome Mockumentaies Ever Made (Forgotten Silver) He cannot screw this up. Sorry, he simply can't. If he does, kiss reality goodbye. Hong Kong Shuffle and seeing Warriors of Heaven and Earth on the big Screen. And anything cool that comes from those awesome filmakers from the East. For years and years they have been making movies like next to no American person even dreamed possible or could possibly imitate. It's good to see them still releasing phenomencally cool stuff. Terrence Malick Movie: Because, in spite of Colin Farrel (he just ain't that great, sorry to say it) it is done by Terrence Malick. Not many enjoyed his Thin Red Line, I did. Charlie and the Chocolate Company: You betcha. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, cool. Big Fish redeemed Burton after that crappola of a movie that I shall not mention that had talking monkeys in it and Mark Walhberg. And Tim Roth. Among others. Mr. and Mrs. Smith: I just hope this loud and big and fun. Emphasis on the last one, please. The first two are way too easy. Besides, as cliche as this may sound, Jolie is in it. War of the Worlds: Because I loved the book, and the 50's version, and every time this pops in cool projects (like the second League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or a very, very cool Anthology: War of the Worlds: Global Dispatches and many other things here and there) and I can't wait for it to either suck and complain how the old one was better, or heck, be the first actual good disaster film of the last whatever eons. The Island: There's gotta be a Michael Bay movie I like. Please. Another Dystopia in a movie, I never get tire of these. The Brothers Grimm: Terry Gilliam. Corpse Bride: Two Tim Burton films in one year. Danny Elfman galore. Wallace and Grommit Movie: Yeah!!! Land of the Dead: Oh man. Finally. About frelling time. I had thought the name would be Twilight of the Dead, but I'm nitpicking semantics. Romero. Zombies. Thank you. (now if Mr. Raimi can give us the frelling Evil Dead 4 he has promised, one way or another for so long) V for Vendetta: Let's see. April saw Sin City (Miller) Now, the Warchowski brother have penned this Awesome comic by none other than Alan Moore. Please don't suck. Please. Chronicles of Narnia: I hope they don't infantilize this with some modern Hollywood idea of infantalization (okay so that word doesn't exist. sorry. I'm going to grammar hell already) Underworld: Evolution: Cool beans! The first one surprised me. It was a very neat B movie. Very neat and cool. I'm glad to see this one. And it has nothing to do with Kate Beckinsdale. Really. Honestly. Bah, I'm a big fat liar. Vampires/Werewolves/Beautiful woman in leather. I'm simple. And many more. (Lots of Independent/European films, most of which I don't keep track anymore since we just don't get that many of them over here, so it's way too frustrating. I go to the rental place once in a while and just rent a bunch and am happy) That's about it. Sorry I didn't control more my film geekedness. -------------------- quote:Random Jack Vance Quote Manual Generator Apparatus (Cugel's Saga) Posts: 604 | Registered: Sunday, June 20 2004 07:00 |

I just (literally) got home from seeing Sin City and I must say... I'm very impressed. Being only "familiar" with the graphic novels, I wasn't always sure who everyone was. All three stories had a protagonist that spoke to me, personally. If you are 17 or older (here in the States), go see it. High violence, lots of sex themes, and grisly, yet touching, tales of heroism in a world of darkness. I give it a 95/100. -------------------- The critics agree!

PoD: Yup. That's a cool film (like all the stuff PJ does). Great car (the Beatles in their Sgt. Pepper's customs is just too cool). It's also nice to see him without the bushy beard. You know, films like that, or the Evil Dead series or some of the stuff by Full Moon, Hammer, etc, just go on to show that you can make some darn fine Horror films for the price of a shoe-lace (well. . . almost) and make it funny and cool (and sometimes even horryfyingly scary). Sin City: Man. You U.S. Citizens/Canadians are so lucky. I have no clue when it will come here. While you guys are watching that, the newest pre-release here (midnight show) is a Mandy Moore flick from 2003 and "Hide and Seek" (which at least came out this year back in the States) Sin City (2): From what I've been told, it's supremely faithful to the Comic in plot and feeling. (I can see how it'd be violent, in the first Graphic Novel, "Sin City," Marv gets shot at, beaten, stabbed. It's wonderful because most of it has no dialogue and little narration, just he storming through the building (reminded me of the ending of Better Tomorrow II (John Woo!!! Make more good films again!!! Please!!!) And the last panel of the book, or one of the last, seeing him kneeling holding the little girl close to him. Damn, I'm getting goose bumps.) -------------------- quote:Random Jack Vance Quote Manual Generator Apparatus (Cugel's Saga) Posts: 604 | Registered: Sunday, June 20 2004 07:00 |

From what I hear, Sin City is virtually a shot for shot film version of the comics. Same angles and all that. I won't see it. When a film contains multiple castrations, you know it's gone past the regular run-of-the-mill movie violence. I will, however, see the Hitchhiker movie. I love the books, and the trailer cracked me up (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy has this to say about movie trailers...). -------------------- Sex is easier than love.
