I watched an assload of movies this weekend.

[Bouncy Ball]

Maurice--very good. Before Hugh Grant was really big.

Birth--good, but I thought the ending was a cop-out.

Hotel Rwanda--can I just say :cry: and DAMMIT!

Poltergeist--oldie but a goodie. Watched it Sat. night with all the lights out, giggled and pointed out continuity problems. Yeah, I'm a blast to watch movies with, LOL.

Then today, saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at the local movieplex. It was good. Had some laughs. That's about it. Had to move down a few rows because the guy behind me sounded like Darth Vader having an asthma attack. I've never heard anyone breathe that loudly in my life.

What movies have you seen lately?

[Zuni]

1. I didn't see any this weekend

but let me tell you, Poltergeist is one of my all time faves! :scared:

[Bouncy Ball]

3. The scene where she's explaining the chairs moving around the

kitchen very abruptly cuts off and suddenly they are standing in front of their neighbor's house, asking him if anything strange has happened in his house.

One of the worst, most blatant out and out mistakes in editing I've ever seen in a film.

But hey it's a good flick. They're here!!!

[sundog]

2. Maurice is great

it's the only thing I forgive Hugh Grant for :P

and Rupert Graves... sigh :loveya:

[Bouncy Ball]

4. I hated how stiff Hugh Grant was in Maurice

but I read some reviews and apparently his character was kinda supposed to be that way.

It's an E.M. Forster novel and the only screen adaptation of his work I hadn't seen (Howard's End and Room With a View are the others) so I HAD to rectify that.

It was a dreamy movie, though.

[sundog]

7. I have Hugh Grant issues

aka I can't stand him :P

[Bouncy Ball]

8. I normally can't.

But he was very young and especially yummy in Maurice and wasn't playing what later became his typical character, so I overlooked it, like you did.

Plus I enjoyed Maurice partially because I kept thinking how much it would drive fundies BANANAS to see it.

[Floogeldy]

5. Oceans 12 and The Forgotten

I didn't mind watching them, but I will probably forget them soon.

[Bouncy Ball]

6. Yeah, I've been passing those two up for a while now.

I never saw Ocean's Eleven so why bother?

[Floogeldy]

11. Oceans Eleven is worth the rental price

Oceans Twelve is just confusing.

The Forgotten leaves a lot to the imagination, in a shallow way.

But I love Julianne Moore. What heterosexual male in his right mind wouldn't? ;)

[belladonna]

21. The Forgotten was a HUGE disappointment

It was one movie I actually looked forward to seeing, and gawd, what a disappointment when I finally managed :thumbsdown:

[RandomKoolzip]

9. "Assload?"

Is that more than a buttload, less than a shitload?

[Bouncy Ball]

13. It's more than BOTH a buttload and a shitload

combined.

So don't use "assload" lightly.

Hey congrats on the shirt design! :toast: I love it! My daughter wants one!

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Danke, danke.

I just wish that I had actually made up the damn slogan.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. I haven't seen any in a lil while

I haven't seen a movie in a while.

[Huckebein the Raven]

12. Well, I'm watching Goodfellas right now

I haven't been to the movie theatre in a while but that will change come May 19th for sure.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. "As far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a gangster"

[Huckebein the Raven]

16. Do I amuse you ?

:P

[Kathy in Cambridge]

17. What's so fuckin' funny about me?

[Huckebein the Raven]

18. I mean you're a funny guy that's all

:P

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. "The Shining" is starting on Cinemax

I've seen Goodfellas a bazillion times...still an awesome movie though.

[Huckebein the Raven]

22. Thanks for the heads up

:)

[BigMcLargehuge]

19. recent views -

Sin City - great visual feast

Deep Red - I hate Dario Argento... low rent Hitchcock knockoff

Into the Sun - another snorefest pseudo-actioner from Steven Seagal

Zatoichi: Blind Masseur - one of Shintaro Katsu's finest outings

[leftofthedial]

23. wow! I just usually bring them home in a bag.

[Elidor]

24. My SO rented some real duds

Walking Tall with that moron who calls himself "The Rock." It wasn't a total loss, but it was close enough to count.

The Weirdest Movie in the World, AKA the Saddest Music in the World. I can't explain that one, but then, I needed a crib sheet for Eraserhead, too.

I bought the Blade Trinity pak and we watched II & III and lots of extras. It was decent.

Spider Man II was good and the extra features went on for hours.

AVP wasn't total suck, but it tried mightily. A couple good alien-predator fights, but mostly mediocre stuff.

Young Adam was monotonous and downbeat. Couldn't watch it.

The Butterfly Effect was dreary and violent and negative. Didn't like it.

[driver8]

25. I love the scene in Poltergeist where the woman is explaining how

the one guy videotaped a spoon moving an inch across a table in 5 or 6 hours. Craig T. Nelson takes her upstairs and says, "an inch, huh"? and then opens the door. Everything in the room is moving around very fast and the woman about sh*ts.

[mark414]

26. damn you're right

that is a great scene

[Skittles]

27. SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH

:D

Rent The Door in the Floor if you want to watch a strange movie! :o
