It was mediocre.

I watched Frost/Nixon last night, and even though I thought it was going to be boring (and less entertaining than Glee) I found it to be quite enjoyable. :D

Kick-Ass kicked ass.

In the world of thinking movies I totally missed the first time around, I also saw Memento and Sunshine for the first time this week. I wasn’t too enthused with how either one ended, but the more I thought about them afterward the more I really liked them both.

Memento is excellent.

but for whatever reason I picked up Avatar instead.

ಠ_ಠ

I just bought Avatar. Surprisingly enough, I don’t regret it.

Don’t worry, Willow. That just means you’re brain works.

Thanks. I couldn’t resist.

D: And I envy you. Mmmm, pretties.

I started it, but only watched a bit of it. I need to finish that movie before Jeni kills me. >.>

It may be three days later, but the threat of violence never goes away.

Pan’s Labyrinth is ultra-cool, especially in the original Spanish.

I wasn’t aware you could watch it any other way.

Edit: After fighting in the airport, and much emotional rollercoaster, I decided that I needed pure crack to watch on the plane home — nothing that was going to make me burst into tears at the merest provocation. So of course I chose New Moon. And wow, I did not realise how hilariously bad it was. I did almost give up as I noticed at one point I hadn’t been paying attention for a good five minutes, but stuck with it only to be rewarded with the brilliantly bad acting in Italy.

But I watched part of V for Vendetta later, so that healed the wound.

I watched Serenity, followed by Batman and Robin, two films I’ve been meaning to watch for some time for very different reasons. Their contrasting reputations are well deserved.

Isn’t that the like 4th time you’ve watched that, Willow? A week ago you were like “I’m watching Serenity right now.”

I have just finished all LotR.

contented sigh

I was contemplating on making it another all-day marathon, and my brother was all for it, but my mother hid the movies. :’( I’m hoping if I promise to pause on Legolas she might see the light and agree. There is nothing better than Saturday morning with Yugioh for Lulz, pancakes for breakfast at noon, and LotR while it rains outside. NOTHING. My little brother says he’ll spend the day crying if we don’t get to watch it. I have told her I will also.

Really, the only part worth watching is the 20-minute segment with the HAL 9000 deactivating the life support and getting turned off. Otherwise, it’s the dullest, most pretentious movie that I’ve ever seen.

Hey, at least the special effects are good.

Yeah, most of 2001 was really dull, but for some reason I couldn’t stop watching. I think I went through 8 cups of tea trying to stay awake and keep from going stir-crazy. 2001 is something that I think everyone needs to experience once in their lives. And after that, never, ever, ever again.

My brother is insisting I go see Kick Ass with him tonight, hope it’s good.

Critics say it kicks ass.

But who cares what he says anyways?

I saw about half of Watchmen. The pacing was too slow, and I didn’t like some of the slo-mo, but I did like the visual style a lot in general. I think it kind of sags as a movie under its own weight, as it were. I’m going to finish it tomorrow, probably, but right now I’d probably give it a B.

(I have read the graphic novel and have a tremendous amount of respect for it, by the way.)

I think the idea is that you take some sort of drug whilst watching it.

Kick-Ass isn’t playing in my local theaters due to some business dispute, so I’m going to have to wait for the DVD. D:

I find it funny that sci-fi writers take the whole idea of a “jungle moon” seriously at all.

Setting aside pulp novels, who does take it seriously?

I got The Lovely Bones from fye—I have to wait to get back to Paris to watch it, because I promised my dad. Fathers can be so childish sometimes.

O.O YOU DID?! COME BACK NOW!
Can’t wait to watch it. :D
I watched Casino Royale for the umpteenth time last night. ‘Twas great. :D

All the poker goes completely over my head though.

I know! I was on a long train ride, and my friend and I were bored so he taught me how to play poker. In our game, we used little aluminum foil balls as chips. So yeah, my poker experience was totally thrown out the window when I watched the film for the first time. ;)

I watched Emma (the good version with Gwyneth Paltrow) yesterday. :D ‘Twas wonderful.

Saw Heathers. I was rooting for JD up until

Saw Avatar for the first time tonight. I ended up stopping the movie just after the whole scene where

The official synopsis for Inception:

Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.

But my real question is, where are the Gene Kellys and Donald O’Connors of this day and age

I’ve been wondering the same thing about Harrison Ford.

Yeah but he’s a bit old for us. Like older than our parents. I’m just not going for that.

@arska

Who says We need to wait for the next Harrison Ford? The current one is still kickin’!

He’s 68. If he’s “current”, so is William Shatner.

@hmyd.windermere

What about our generation’s Audrey Hepburn?

Natalie Portman?

I mean, Samuel L Jackson is 61. Why is no one talking about replacing him?

Because he doesn’t look like he could be my grandfather?

Avatar: The Last Airbender Trailer 4

From what I can see the bending looks spot on, and I imagine it will look even better in 3-D. The acting… still kinda mehh, but everything else seems loyal to the show and it actually looks pretty good.

Well, the official name for the movie is actually The Last Airbender. so I don’t think there will be any confusion.

I’m watching Jerry Maguire on TBS. Renee Zellweger’s eyes used to be different.

I did not know it had Cillian Murphy. :3

@ Dan Locke – Hmmmm. But I can’t remember the last thing/anything I’ve seen with Natalie Portman in it, so I can’t say anything.

^^Depends on what you want in a show.

I could have watched it a few weeks ago, but bad quality. D:

I like your thinking.

WHAT. WHAT WHAT WHAT. YOU HAD TIME TO WATCH A MOVIE BUT NOT Castle? BLASPHEMY I SAY.

Don’t rain on my parade! Unlike some people, I like to have fun. :D

I’m watching Clue! I forgot how much I love that movie. It is so hysterically bad yet good. So, so good.

Oh, I love Clue! It’s just so ridiculously awesome/stupid.
