The Cinema / Rate the last movie you saw

[Muckfoot]

Some parts were brilliant, some parts were alright, some parts were awful. I'd call it alright overall too.

Yeah, this summarises my feelings about the film pretty well.

[Stevil]

Love the show, never watched the movie.

I just can't imagine them stretching it out for that long. It's like when I watch the South Park movie. Only the first half hour is solid, the rest just drags except for when The Mole shows up.

The only cartoon show-to-movie I've ever enjoyed was Beavis & Butthead Do America.

[usedtabe]

That is just dumb. But yeah the temptation of multitasking is so hard to resist. It was easy when I was on my ps3 because I couldn't do anything else and enjoyed it(scrubs first 2ish seasons) but then when you are on a computer it sometimes feels like you are wasting your time if you aren't doing something else at the same time (says the man who feels like sleep is a waste of time). not that watching tv isn't productive or not worthy of time, just part of my brain says (you could be doing something with your hands too.)

I'm the same way if on a computer. It can take me all work day to watch one 45min episode of a show, regardless of it's a super slow day.


@Stevil: I actually enjoyed the ATHF movie surprisingly. I had the same sentiments thinking that it wouldn't be good in anything longer than 20minute episodes but they did a decent job with it. Best intro ever. EVER.

[ClownBaby]

The fact that the band in the intro is Mastodon helped quite a bit. Also I quite enjoyed it as well. The "story" feels almost like several episodes stitched together (and they air it on TV like that sometimes), but doesn't wear down. They do enough backing off of the crazy shit to not overdo it, while still giving you what you came for.

I'd watch a Venture Bros movie. Can't think of many other cartoons I'd watch one of though.

Not the same but similar, the Always Sunny movie was pretty well done also. Same thing where it still works when they air it as multiple episodes.

[ClownBaby]

Well...that looks awful.

[Stevil]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.....

[ZombiePlatypus]

I'm gonna see it. For as much as the trailer shows, it really doesn't tell us a whole lot. Doesn't give anything real to judge, y'know? Schwarzenegger looks a lot better in action than he has in production pictures, which is good.

He looks silly as hell firing that gun out the back of the school bus though.

[Stevil]

I was really expecting else from the synopsis, something a little slower and grittier.

The film looks pretty flimsy - a bunch of cars full of angry goons are going to drive through town and Arnie's gang has to stop them (when these guys could drive on a b-road or something, I dunno) - but then, some of the action looks a little inventive with the cinematography.

[ZombiePlatypus]

(when these guys could drive on a b-road or something, I dunno)

I was thinking the same thing. I really don't see how his town becomes "the last stand" battle ground in this chase, but yeah.

[ClownBaby]

He looks insanely ridiculous firing that shotgun at the end.

[Stevil]

It's hardly T2, innit.

[ZombiePlatypus]

It's a big dumb '80s movie made with modern panache. Hopefully it isn't shit tier like most of The Expendables ended up being.

Speaking of, I'm gonna catch the second one this weekend. I have no shame about it.

[Muckfoot]

The first Expendables would have been awesome
if they had removed 95% of the dialogue. Some of the script was fucking awful.

[ZombiePlatypus]

I'm just here to drop off another aging action star trailer:



It's what I do.

The Last Stand is the English language debut of an interesting Korean director, whereas this flick is Walter Hill's first directing gig in quite a while. Hill did some good shit a couple decades ago though. I love The Warriors, and dig Southern Comfort, The Long Riders and 48 Hrs. Red Heat and Last Man Standing ain't too bad either.

Bullet to the Head is also the flick that Thomas Jane got fired from in pre-production because Joel Silver wanted an "ethnic" partner for Stallone in order to fit in with his own personal formula for a successful "buddy" action movie.

[Panzadolphin56]

Looks better than the Arnie thing.

Also, has he had elocution lessons or something? He sounds remarkably clearer than I've heard him in anything from the last decade or so.

yes...Yes...YES! YEEEEESS!

That trailer was pretty good. Nice to see Walter Hill doing some old school action with a decent budget. Also, you forgot to mention Trespass!

[ClownBaby]

Warrior is pretty fucking good, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Gatsby, have you seen Bronson?

[Stevil]

Click back a couple of pages, he didn't like it.

[ClownBaby]

What a turd.


Gatsby, have you seen Chopper?
