...aaaand just watched God Grew Tired of Us, about a group of the Lost Boys of Sudan who moved to Syracuse, NY and Pittsburg, PA.

Pa'li Makto 09-21-2011 10:02 AM

Sounds interesting. ;)

Empty Glass 09-21-2011 07:09 PM

It is, especially when the people profiled in the film discuss what they enjoy about living the U.S., and what they dislike/what they miss back in Africa.

Regarding the latter, this is one of the parts of the film that stuck with me the most and made me think (at 0:44):








Definitely see the whole thing if you get the chance!

Transformers: Dark of the moon

Went to see it in a theater for 2 bucks and I was still blown away since I saw it in 3D Two months ago. I loved it. The greatest emeotional impact ever of the all the films. Didn't quiet reach the bar that the first one set (Though it came very very close) But it's definatly Redemption of the Fallen. :xD:

guyguy 09-23-2011 09:20 AM

seen Drive last friday
pretty sure it was a better book than movie

guyguy 09-24-2011 07:34 AM

seen killers elite tonight. way better than the last time i went to the cinema
also watched roughly 45min of collector edition avatar earlier!

Pa'li Makto 09-25-2011 01:24 AM

This is London. It was really confronting at times but the movie had a great message.

LOVEavatar 09-25-2011 07:13 AM

Men In Black! :awesome: Classic! Awesome every single time (and just as funny too). My dad refused to watch it because of the "gore" lol :P

Empty Glass 09-25-2011 07:24 AM

Ah man, I've been meaning to watch that movie again lately! :D Can't remember any true gore though... :P

Icu 09-25-2011 07:31 AM

Saw Moneyball today. Good, but nothing too special about it imo.

Exactly! A little slime and exploding heads is enough for him to be grossed out. :facepalm: Parents... :P

The last movie I watched was "The book of eli"
I think it is a very good film.

This is the trailer.

Dancer in the Dark. Seriously, while it has it's happy moments, that is one damn sad movie.

Moco Loco 09-26-2011 05:52 AM

127 Hours. I thought the guy irl was kind of a dumbass, but the movie was very good and didn't use excessive flashbacks as a crutch, though there are a fair share.

guyguy 09-26-2011 08:32 AM

seen Constentine at a friend house earlier

txim_asawl 09-27-2011 07:23 PM

I'm currently watching the Simpsons episode "The Fool Monty", 22nd seasons, episode 6 - yes, that's the one with the Avatar parody couch gag in the opening - Bart Makto. :D

I had to chuckle at Raymond Scott's track "Powerhouse" being used in one scene... after all, that track inspired James Horner's score for Honey, I shrunk the kids...

Space Battleship Yamato. got to say, they did a pretty good job adapting it to a movie :D

LOVEavatar 10-04-2011 09:29 AM

A.I. This was the first time I watched the whole movie. The originality is f***ing amazing! I just love every second of this, I even wept a few tears during the end. :'( One of the most touching movies I've ever seen by far! It's depressive, sad, scary but also quite happy sometimes. It's unique in its entirety, from here on it will be one of my most loved movies of all time. :love: Steven Spielberg, you've done it again for me! :) 11/10!

LOVEavatar 10-04-2011 08:52 PM

And just seconds ago, Black Swan.

To be honest... I don't know what to think atm... I'll just sleep on the subject and then come back tomorrow.

Pa'li Makto 10-05-2011 05:28 AM

I want to see that Black Swan movie eventually..

I saw The Mummy last night and The Mummy Returns today.

Icu 10-05-2011 07:29 AM

Black Swan was definitely one of my favorite movies from last year.

And LOVEAvatar... I didn't really like A.I. I don't know, maybe I was just expecting something different. The whole thing kind of felt "off" to me. The world... I couldn't buy into it. And I kept hoping they would drop the whole thing about the "Blue Fairy" but oh no.

I know it's popular though so idk, not everyone can like every movie that "almost everyone" likes I guess :)

Make sure you're in a good headspace when you do see Black Swan - I was warned off it when it was out in cinemas (I have anxiety, and was in a bad state), and when I finally got around to seeing it, I was SO GLAD my friends had vetted it for me. Really glad I saw it, but IMO, not something to watch if you're feeling fragile.

And yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay the Mummy and the Mummy Returns. Those are my comfort movies, I love them (third movie, what third movie, I heard rumours about a third movie, but they can't possibly be true...)

Last movie I saw was Tron: Legacy. Whee, that movie is fun.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I read the title and thought, "Dude, there were mummies in China?" :P

Nope, can't hear you, there is no 3rd Mummy movie, la, la, la, la, la *blocks ears*

On a more serious note, actually, yes, there ARE mummies in China! Admittedly, the ones I know about are Caucasian, which has caused all kinds of problems given from how long ago the bodies were, but there ARE Chinese mummies.

Sorry! I just....ugh, yeah. It's kind of like the Star Wars prequels! There are, clearly, no such thing. <.<

The Tarim mummies! First read about them in a book I have on mummies, but I find them utterly fascinating.

Advent 10-05-2011 11:04 AM

I see.
And yes, the star wars prequels are very ...strange. Though it is funny seeing 'Darth Vader' get manipulated by the old man. :P

Also, I looked up the 'alleged' third Mummy movie, and it seems kinda like the second. Undead armies and such.
In other news, I recently watched Mulan 1 & 2. Excellent Disney movies. :D

Thanks for the helpful advice ma tsmuke, I will make sure I'm like a vegetable when I see it. :P

The first two are the best aren't they! Ancient Egypt needs more movies made about it! :)

As stupid as this guy behaves in the prequels it's a wonder that Jar Jar did not manipulate him. :facepalm:

This made me laugh. :D I have not seen said film either (and perhaps I never will, looking at some of the reviews), though I have fond memories of the first two from way back when.

Human No More 10-05-2011 07:38 PM

I'm not sure if it was the first or second (never seen the third), but I love the part where they are faced with a huge crowd of zombies and just pretend to be one, and it works :D
Tried to find a video, but failed.

Empty Glass 10-05-2011 07:43 PM

Ah shoot, I know exactly what scene you're talking about and now I'm trying to find it myself. :D

LOVEavatar 10-05-2011 08:34 PM

Pulp m***er f***ing Fiction! :awesome:

I know, I know. I'm a bit late for such a classic, but holy f**k! That $hit was gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood! :D :D And that's all there is to say really... one hellova movie!

That movie is ace!! I love the part when they try to revive Mia and they just act so chilled after. ;) Plus Mia's speech about people coming up with chatter to avoid awkward silences. :)

Hah yeah the first movie and they just start chanting "Imhotep..Imhotep." :)
Jonathan was always the funniest. :)

I found this but I haven't listened to it because I'm at university right now and the computer's on mute..
This is the right scene though.

I only saw Pulp Fiction once with a group of people who were interrupting the whole time :( guess I should give it another try :P
