For the last time! The thing was nothing like a cross between a wolf and a man. IT WAS A FRIGGIN’ MONKEY.

You don’t get to question my taste in film until you grow up.

Ooooh. Okay. Right. Sorry. Good of you to clear that up. You don’t have to take anything I say seriously. I should never have questioned your opinion. Of course I can’t have credible opinions. I’m just a kid, y’know?

Stop this. If you insist, resort to private messages.

I think you two should just make out already and get it over with.

Just because HP had “men who turned into wolves” it doesn’t mean it’s a rule of the universe that all werewolves are men who turn into wolves. Just look at Twilight “vampires”. Everybody has their own interpretation, SMeyer imagines vampires as “sparkly beautiful blood sucking people,” whoever made Wolfman had his own way of imagining a werewolf. This is the most ridiculous thing to fight over. We all have our separate opinions and interpretations.

Bahaha, Puppet, you missed the point. I know there’s all different kinds of werewolves, and that’s fine! I just was trying to defuse the situation by pointing out that the movie people were told “okay, so it’s a wolf, but it has a tufted tail, narrower pupils, different ears” and they came up with, well, that. Harry Potter werewolves are actual wolves. I didn’t mean to imply all werewolves have to be that way xD

Watched the A+E Pride and Prejudice while on the treadmill.

It’s the only way they can make me run. :)

Mom’s trying to convince me that I need to see the Passion of the Christ. I’m not going for that. I told her: “No way, mom. I’m not sadistic.”

Her: “Oh come on! You watched Silence of the Lambs!”

Me: “That’s different. That’s not an hour and a half of someone being beaten to death. Crucifixion was really nasty.”

Her: “Well, you’ve watched other sad things. What about Schindler’s List.”

Me: “Also different. Yes, it was violent and sad, but the point of the movie was not just the misery, but that Schindler was saving people from it, that way it’s uplifting as well as depressing. Also, the violence, while horrifying, wasn’t the focus point of the movie.”

There’s no way I’m seeing it. I amy watch Jesus Christ Superstar, though. I’m just not sure which movie is better.

I’m seventeen and a half. But I’m not even a Christian, so I’m not obligated to see it.

I just don’t LIKE watching long, drawn out torture. I don’t think I could stomach it.

Absolutely no one is obligated to see it. Which is why I haven’t seen it.

Well, people are always like: “ormg u watch it cuz jesus suffered 4 u!”

Even if I believed that, I still wouldn’t watch it. Christian Torture-porn doesn’t appeal to me.

But pretty eyes!

No really, they are astonishingly pretty.

I watched it.

I cried.

Don’t watch it when you’re 12. It screws you up. Trust me.

It’s only rated R here in the US, which means overly Christian parents are free to force their children to watch it.

It makes Biblical stories fun even to non-believers, and without any potentially offensive material at all!

Yes. I find it very disturbing how the religion is based around a torture symbol, and that the story is told to young kids.

Than you missed the whole point.

O_o That’s because it’s 18/NC-17, why the heck were you watching it at 12?

Because of this:

It’s only rated R here in the US, which means overly Christian parents are free to force their children to watch it.

Funny, Chronicles of Riddick , and Alien vs. Predator never scared me like that.

...

facepalm

I wasn’t particularly phased by watching the Passion, but I’m Catholic so bloody Jesus stopped phasing me around age 7. I’m pretty weak to gore in general, but that’s mainly guts and brains and such, rather than puncture wounds. I did enjoy watching it though, if only because I remember it being a really pretty movie, and the Latin was fun to try and decode without having studied it.

All the Evangelical friends who got me to go were bawling uncontrollably though, and I was surrounded by girls, so it was even worse. I felt a little heartless.

And also, venerating the cross itself is strange. It’s a symbol of torture.

It’s a symbol of sacrifice now.

Fiddler on the Roof, and I just realized that Tevye has really nice eyes.

This pleases me.

I saw Egg! I mean Bland! I mean Ann! :D

I have Lost In Translation, Unforgiven, and Children of Men on mine.

I <3 Colette. She and Ego are my favourite characters.

She and Ego are my favourite characters.

O’Toole was an absolute cutthroat. Loved his work in that movie.

Ditto and ditto. Ego was awesome. :D

I feel bad about not watching it. I performed it a few weeks ago, so I feel I should’ve watched it.

Really? I watched the beginning and found it hilarious, and not in a good way.

West Side Story ruined the idea of street gangs for me.

Moulin Rouge is hilarious.

Just finished The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Nothing compared to the first film. :/

Me too!

Serenity. Again. I just love Summer Glau’s fight sequences.

^^I watching that right now.

And I love that quote.

That quote is so awesome. It chokes me up just a tiny bit.

What in the world do you stand for that Zombieland goes against? Are you pro-Undead Rights? Are you anti-Ghostbusters? WHAT?

The only thing I didn’t like about that movie was Columbus using a double-barrel shotgun for the whole movie, especially for a guy so focused on sense and efficiency it’s a really impractical choice.

:3

I completely and absolutely disagree on the shotgun.

The shotgun is the Zombie Killer™, it’s iconic, when zombies invade you grab your shotgun and blow their brains out. Plus, there’s nothing more badass then pumping a shotgun.

Well yeah, in a case of a real Zombie Invasion I would want a flamethrower. But it’s a movie, double barreled shotguns are a must when it comes to fighting zombies.

I disagree. Has anyone fired a good .45? That would be my zombie weapon of choice. :D

Or this. I’d really like this:

Or this:

Or this: (I hid it because it’s badassery is so huge)

Or anything huge and badass that can discharge small things at a high velocity.

Like a spud gun from hell.

Epic.

Helven Aprovaledge is granted.

The Portal Gun would be my weapon of choice against a zombie horde. :D

Iwantonesobadly

I’d just take off and nuke the site from orbit. It would be the only way to be sure.

What about a Lancer from Gears of War? You know, the machine gun with the chainsaw bayonet.

My weapons of choice against zombies:

Anyway, unrelated to Zombieland, but I spent 2 periods today watching Twilight like the worthless teacher I was subbing for expected, and 2 periods watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II(which I borrowed from a student to use). I haven’t watched any of the TMNT movies in like a decade, but hilariously, they actually seemed like superior movies. The turtles emote better than most of Twilight’s actors, and the characterization is at least a million times stronger. Some of the jokes actually worked, too, unlike most of the ‘funny’ lines in Twilight which make me want to harm myself.

I actually want to watch the TMNT movies again now.

Clash of the Titans was strictly average.

It has some cool battle scenes (the Medusa part was neat) but the characters are pretty flat and the 3D can’t be described as anything but disorienting.

The SciFi channel is showing Eragon tomorrow night at 9 Eastern/8 Central. I think I’m going to microwave some popcorn and crank up the lulz.

Oh man. So a theater in my town has “midnight movie” events every weekend, which are a load of fun. This weekend is The Big Lebowski, and next weekend is Serenity. I’m stoked!
