quote:Nice way to spell it. I liked "Da Lord of 'em Rings" as well. :P Apart from that, I don't see terribly many movies. Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy was nice. I never saw the new Star Wars movie, but I intend to. Lost in Translation was also one of the extremely few movies I watched and liked. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Spider. I would post a link to an article on Wikipedia here, but, apparently, it isn't permitted. quote: [ Tuesday, July 12, 2005 00:17: Message edited by: Deplorable ] Posts: 356 | Registered: Tuesday, April 6 2004 07:00 |

I will go with American Beauty still standing as my favourite movie, followed closely by Copenhagen. The 39 Steps and Citizen Kane are also up there pretty high. Posts: 2862 | Registered: Tuesday, October 2 2001 07:00 |

Shaun of the Dead, at the moment, it is just hilarious mixed with zombies... What more could you want? Nothin'... Interview with the Vampire was pretty good, and rolls in at second just for the one scene where tom cruise dances with the dead woman... LOTR was damn good too... Films are good.

I didn't know that Copenhagen was made into a movie! It's one of my favorite plays. Now I'm going to have to find it and learn whether it was botched or not. —Alorael, who actually likes Adaptation at least as much for the arguments that ensued after the movie ended than for the movie itself. Catching all the hidden self-references is much tricker than it first appears. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

quote:I couldn't agree more. I loved Matrix part I, but i didn't like the other two as much. I loved Resident Evil I, though I didn't like part II (it had too many corny lines, and that brunett girl looked like a tomb raider wanna be or something). My favs are: The Incredibles Matrix I Final Destination I Resident Evil I The Ring The X-men (both movies, though I'm still waiting for Gambit to show up) Brave Heart Six Sense and a couple of more that I can't remember right now.

I found a true trove of cheap chop sockey kung fu movies. Walgreens is now selling Wu Tang Clan films 3 for $10.00. I found one of the first martial arts films that I really liked Snake Fist Under Eagle Shadows one of Jackie Chan's first films cheap. Yay :D . -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh. Star Bright, Star Light, Oh I Wish I May, I Wish Might, Wish For One Star Tonight.

I have a bipolar taste in movies. Movies that are trying to be great and, in my view, fail even slightly, become despised. Movies that make no pretenses are indulged. Thus I like Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. You've got to respect a guy who doesn't remotely pretend to be an actor. I also don't see many movies. I was tremendously impressed by Ran. It was more King Lear than King Lear. I liked Amadeus. American Beauty was okay. The Usual Suspects was sort of wasted on me, because I had once run a D&D sequence with such a similar set-up that I had Kaiser Soze pegged within the first half hour. Lost in Translation was very good; which is to say that Bill Murray was great. I missed where he went from quick-talking ham into serious actor, but somewhere he did. I generally like CGI movies. The Incredibles was very good. Spiderman 2 was good. I usually avoid serious movies, unless my wife hauls me to one. If I start feeling like a book is coming on too strong, I can put it down, but I don't want to feel trapped in a theater by a film that is trying to disturb me. -------------------- It is not enough to discover how things seem to seem.

That's what they always claim. —Alorael, who is interested in seeing what happens to the Lions of Al-Rassan movie. (He's also interested in knowing why anyone would basically pay for the rights to use El Cid, but that's not entirely relevant.) Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I recently saw American Beauty at an open-air. It's only ... beautiful. But my favourite director is David Lynch, I love all of his movies. Also I like The Singing Detective - the BBC television version from 1986. It was written by Dennis Potter, mise en scene: Jon Amiel. Now Keith Gordon made a big cinema movie but I doubt that an American copy can be as brilliant as the English original. Maybe I'll go and see it nevertheless. -------------------- ^ö^ vegetarians are sexy. Posts: 1420 | Registered: Wednesday, October 2 2002 07:00 |

quote:Well, it even if it's better than Doom 3 it's got a long way to go before it gets out of the "terrible" category. I really hated Doom 3 and no-one else I knew did, but a while back I found someone else who did. - Doom 3 Review My favourtie line is "When I played Doom 3 for the first time, I pondered to myself, "Yeah, this game is alright, but it would be a lot better if it had four colors, three graphics, two players, one ball, and no point." It's so true. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

Ahh... I can't say I agree with you. I loved Doom 3. I'm still playing multiplayer to this day. The single player portion was admittedly better than I thought it would be, pre-release. But I do see how people can take it as a "you either love it or you hate it" kinda game. And I'm sure I'll be disappointed to a certain degree by the Doom movie, but I still feel it'll be worth my $8.50 ticket price. -------------------- The critics agree!
