The Brothers Bloom.
Probably one of my favorite films of all time.
I think Forbidden Planet is a pretty cool guy. eh melts doors and doesnt afraid of anything.
The second Matrix was actually pretty good. Sort of the reverse of Hype Dissonance or whatever it’s called.
(500) Days of Summer
Probably another one of my favorite films of all time.
^^I wanna see that! I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
It. Is. Awesome.
My sister has been gushing about it but I was never very interested.
It. Is. Awesome.
This. ^^
So I gather you didn’t like (500) Days of Summer. I just might have to go see it for myself to spite you.
AgonyBooth makes it sound bad. But then, that is what they do.
Oh my gosh. Guardians of Ga’Hoole (or whatever it’s called) is coming out and I’m so excited and those books MADE me who I am today and I’m naming my firstborn son Soren! Ah! I wonder if I’ll actually be able to find anyone to go with me…
I totally cried when I watched the trailer yesterday. I don’t even know why. I just did.
No idea. Actually I have no idea what it’s about, so I wouldn’t know.
Actually I have no idea what it’s about
The (500) Days of Summer Chronological Chronology:
Day 1: Tom and Summer meet.
Day 3: McKenzie calls Summer a “superskank”, and Tom is turned off to her.
Day 4: Summer rides the elevator with Tom, and reveals she’s a Smiths fan.
Day 8: Millie’s engagement party, where Summer says she used to be called “Anal Girl”.
Day 11: Tom plays Wii tennis with Rachel, and mentions how he talked to Summer for 20 minutes about “Bananafish”.
Day 22: Tom is put off when Summer says her weekend “was gooood”, and he tells his guy friends that their nonexistent relationship is off.
Day 27: McKenzie tells Tom that Friday is karaoke night, and the whole office is going.
Day 28: Karaoke Night, where Summer sings “Sugar Town” and Tom sings “Here Comes Your Man”, and they have a conversation about love.
Day 31: Tom and Summer make out in the copy room.
Day 34: The big IKEA scene, which eventually leads to Tom having sex with Summer. (Three days after the first kiss? They move fast.)
Day 35 (presumably): The big Hall and Oates dance number. Guess what? It looks much lamer when you realize that whole production happened over a girl Tom was chasing after for less than a month.
Day 45: Summer sings the Knight Rider theme song into her cell phone for Tom.
Day 87: Tom and Summer buy porn at a video store, which leads to them attempting crazy sex in the shower.
Day 95: Tom gives Summer a walking tour of downtown L.A., and introduces Summer to his favorite spot.
Day 109: Tom goes to Summer’s apartment for the first time, with lots of uninteresting conversation about her dreams. (Wait, this is over two months after they first had sex. And he’s only now seeing where she lives? That’s just a little strange.)
Day 118: Tom and Summer are in the car when Tom asks what they are to each other, and gets a vague answer.
Day 154: Tom tells Paul that “It’s official, I’m in love with Summer!”
Day 167: Tom comes up with the “I love us” card.
Day 191: Tom and Summer go to an art exhibit, but then decide to go see Vagiant instead.
Day 259: Tom gets into the fistfight with Mr. Douché at the bar.
Day 260 (presumably): Summer tells Tom about her ex-boyfriends, including the Puma.
Day 266: Tom and Summer yell “Penis!” in the park.
Day 282: Summer and Tom are again at IKEA, but this time Summer is bored.
Day Unknown (presumably takes place on or before 290): Tom and Summer go to see The Graduate, and then Summer breaks up with Tom.
Day 290: Rachel consoles Tom at his apartment as he smashes plates.
Day 303: Tom looks like hell at the office, and gets an email from Summer hoping he’s ready to be friends.
Day 314: Tom goes to the movies alone, and imagines timely parodies of French new wave films and The Seventh Seal.
Day 321: Mr. Vance provides The One and Only Laugh I Had in the Entire Movie.
Day 322: Tom tells no one in particular that he hates everything about Summer, and gets thrown off a bus. And the way this happens in the movie gives the impression that Tom got tired of Summer, not the other way around. Seeing as how she broke up with him a month prior, I don’t see how her “knobby knees” could possibly still be bothering him.
Day 345: Tom’s blind date with St. Alison.
Day 402: Tom and Summer meet up again, and ride the train to Millie’s wedding.
Day 408: The “expectations vs. reality” party, where Summer reveals her engagement.
Day 440: Tom hits the snooze button on his alarm.
Day 441: Tom hits the snooze button on his alarm, and then goes to a convenience store in his robe.
Day 442: Tom finally goes back to work. He’s a total asshole to everybody, and then he quits.
Day 450: Rachel tells Tom he’s only remembering “the good stuff” about being with Summer.
Day 456 to 476: In this montage, Tom interviews for architect jobs, while Summer gets married. Yes, it appears her wedding lasted 20 days.
Day 488: Tom and Summer have a chance meeting in the park, and talk about how Summer is now married.
Day 500: Tom goes to an interview and meets Autumn.
I could never watch it if the AB recap is even 25% accurate, due to twee level.
Tom goes to an interview and meets Autumn.
So, it’s Summer and Autumn. Really? Oh well, I still want to see it.
The whole Autumn thing gets sprung on you in a really cool way. It’s not an attempted thing of Great Symbolism, it’s just saying, life goes on.
(500) Days of Summer is an awesome movie.
Spy Game. It was alright. Actually it was pretty good, except I really can’t stand Robert Redford and there was this chick in the soundtrack who kept flatting. Drove me mad.
Freddie as FR07.
Nothing beats childhood.
Except maybe singing frogs and French princes.
:3
The Lovely Bones. Quite good, but it could have been better, especially after reading Adapt or Die on II. Anyhoo, Mr. Harvey scared the crap out of me, so at least Peter Jackson did something right. ;P
Adapt or Die
Really? Because I thought my review was quite negative. I was attempting to limit my bias though. Hmm…
I was watching part of Contact today. I like that movie. I’ve only really seen it once though. I really want to read the Carl Sagan book now.
Really? Because I thought my review was quite negative.
Right, which is why I thought the movie could have been better. ;)
Oh, sorry. I thought you were saying that it mislead you, so you expected the movie to be better than it was. Sorry.

A little confusing, but very good regardless.
I watched Dr. Horrible the other day.
I watched Dr. Horrible the other day.
What happens when awesome!Neil Patrick Harris and awesome!Joss Whedon come together in harmony.
Saw The Incredible Hulk for the first time the other day. Much better than the Ang Lee version.
Where the Wild Things Are. It was sad.
Battle Royale.
“Don’t worry, my father was a fisherman.”
Just got Dr Horrible from the libray. I’m watching it now with better quality than on youtube. Plus, Commentary! The Musical.
Commentary! is fantastic.
You know, though, there are links to it through Hulu. So you don’t need to view it through Youtube’s crappy quality.
Began watching Gattaca. It seems good so far.
It’s a freakin’ classic. Everytime I watch it, I love it even more.
I saw Iron Man 2 today. I enjoyed it, but it didn’t blow me out of the water on any level.
Began watching Gattaca. It seems good so far.
I really liked that movie.
Gattaca was great. I still need to see the end to it though.
._. Sometime…
We’re watching Life is Beautiful in class right now. I’m irritated that some of my classmates can’t stand Guido and hate the movie so far. It’s so wonderful and heartbreaking. I cry every time I watch it.
I hope that once we get to the second half of the movie, they will like it better.
O_o How can you not see the end of Gattaca?!
D:
We watched in class and I was gone the day we finished it.
I know, it’s terrible. I know what happens, unfortunately.
@ Diamonte: We watched Life Is Beautiful in school too, and I absolutely loved it. Wonderful and heartbreaking just about describes it. Also, who can hate the movie and not stand Guido? He’s adorable, and his son…I just wanted to hug him!
Yes, I love that movie.
We’re finishing Gattaca tomorrow…don’t spoil the end!
I’m irritated that some of my classmates can’t stand Guido and hate the movie so far.
It’s the same with my class. In the span of a month, I found out that most of them hate Trainspotting, Daria, Dr. Horrible, and Doctor Who.

How can you hate Guido? He’s so adorably goofy!
I love that movie so much. I’ve seen it so often I could watch it without subtitles and still know what was going on.
Whoa. Déjà vu.
D: Someone doesn’t like Life is Beautiful?!! They have no concept of art… I love that movie! It’s so moving.
I just watched Hercules on the TGV with my friend. I was struck once again by how mythically inaccurate it was.
But Kevin Sorbo and his beautiful abs are just so damn drool-worthy.
We watched the beginning of Studio Ghibli’s Castle in the Sky. It was good so far.

This is my favorite Ghibli, more than Spirited Away, more that Howl’s Moving Castle, heck, more than Kiki’s Delivery Service, and that was my first anime. I love that movie so much! fangirls
American Psycho was good, if completely nuts.

...Really? Castle in the Sky was great, but not as great as Spirited Away in my opinion.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
When I saw that, I didn’t know what anime was, and I loved it. I had forgotten about it until it was mentioned on here a couple of months ago. I thought that I didn’t like anime, but how much I remember enjoying that movie makes me want to try some more anime to if I maybe I would like it after all.
American HIstory X. Not even an hour in, and it’s pretty brutal.
When I saw that, I didn’t know what anime was, and I loved.
Same here! I was a sheltered child, though.
Up again. It’s still too sentimental for my tastes, but it was funner to watch this time around because my mum loved it so much.
I like Up much more than I thought I would. I haven’t really liked many of the newer animated films, so I was pleasantly surprised.
Saw 10 Things I Hate About You on TV and it might now be my new guilty pleasure.
Then, I went to Blockbuster. I wanted to rent Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Pan’s Labyrinth with my five dollars, but apparently, just to rent one movie costs $5.50. I was very pissed.
My sister had money so she bought 500 Days of Summer (which I saw and actually enjoyed), Sherlock Holmes, and Avatar.
I thought 10 Things started out super funny than became more about the romance and so I was bored.
It wasn’t perfect, especially the very neat ending, but I enjoyed Heath Ledger way too much.
Heath Ledger and David Krumholtz together in a movie, with a weirdly over-simplified and occasionally wrong but startlingly accurate portrayal of high school life. Win.
Which one was David Krumholtz?
I started Serenity and watched it until a storm rolled in and the power went out. Ah well.
I saw Batman Begins. I like how it explains basically everything about his character in a thematic way that makes sense.
Just watched Legally Blonde again. OmgIlovethisfilmsomuch. :3
I love both films previously mentioned. :D
Today I saw Blessed, which is this B-movie about Heather Graham being impregnated with demon-spawn. It was boring and pretty much sucked. The best part was the end whereAnd that’s only because they actually did something that was disturbing instead of just boring.
Saw Get Him To The Greek this afternoon. I don’t get why people like Russell Brand.
Had to watch The Scarlet Letter for extra credit for English. Yes, the Demi Moore version.
I don’t get why people like Russell Brand.
He’s the primary reason I don’t want to see that movie. What exactly is he famous for besides having one of the most punchable faces ever?

lulz TwiLite is awesum.
I am ashamed of my peers.
gag
@Diamonte
I am ashamed of my peers.
I would be, but MTV hasn’t actually been relevant since the early ’90s. I mean, do you know anybody who watches it?
I haven’t seen Obsessed, but seeing the participants is enough to make me think “...really?”
Because all great kisses must look incredibly painful.
Call me desensitized, but I wouldn’t consider a naked guy getting out of a car’s trunk and beating on several people a gigantic WTF moment.
Wait, somebody actually got scared by that movie?
Meh. I haven’t seen Up In The Air, so no actual complaints here, though it does seem like she only got voted because of her Twilight role.
ô_o
ಠ_ಠ
ಠ益ಠ
Beating Harry to a pulp, getting a random new outfit out of nowhere, and failing to kill Dumbledore does not make a good villain.
Somewhere out there, Colbert is raging.
Personally, I thought Ed Helms was the best in that movie.
щ(゚Д゚щ)
...and, no comment.
I’m looking forward to Avatar 2. My guess is that it’ll be what everyone was expecting the first movie to be.
Also, Ridley Scott’s about to do an Alien prequel. And a 20,000 Leagues under the Sea adaptation. I’m rather excited about both prospects, but I’m afraid that he might die before doing either – he’s 72 now, and he has to do his Monopoly movie first. Let’s hope for the best.
And a 20,000 Leagues under the Sea adaptation
Hell, yeah! That’d be great.
Monopoly...like the board game?
Monopoly…like the board game?
You got it. I have to admit that I’m not exactly looking forward to it, but, if anybody can make it work, it’s Scott.
Unless he gets Daniel Day-Lewis as Uncle Pennybags, I won’t be watching it.
How is that even a movie? It’s a freakin’ board game! Admittedly, they made a movie out of Clue but at least that has some kind of murder-mystery plot. Monopoly is just collecting property and hotels and making people give you pink money.
How is that even a movie? It’s a freakin’ board game!
The idea is that some normal guy gets sucked into the game somehow.
...Yeah.
...
And Hollywood can come up with nothing better?
Minority Report was better than expected.
I wish I had the words to describe how much I hate “sucked into a parallel dimension” plots.

I agree. Memo to writers: Star Trek did it, and they did it better than you. They will continue to do it better than you. You will never be as good as Star Trek. It was probably overused before they did it, and it will not be made fresh and original by you unless you are a literary genius. Your argument is invalid.
@sansafro187
I wish I had the words to describe how much I hate sucked into a parallel dimension universe plots.
FIXED. Also, The Chronicles of Narnia.
Yeah, my bad. I clearly need sleep.
Movie editions of things do tend to have more sex and violence, but a TV remake in this day and age would have had more too.
I’m pretty pumped for it, been waiting to see Sharlto Copley in something else.
MTV Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Clip
I can recognize all the scenes from the book… so far so good.
Leap Year. Cute but overdone. Mostly I liked it for the rural Ireland scenery. Mmmm.
I saw a poster for that, did it actually have anything to do with Leap Year?
That was a pretty awesome clip. I’m once again optimistic for the Harry Potter movies.
They say the movie is going to be split into 2 parts, because the book was too long for them to fit everything into 1 film.
I saw Leap Year as well…I found it very trite. But yeah, I liked the scenery, which was probably the only good part of the movie.
I saw a poster for that, did it actually have anything to do with Leap Year?
Yeah, the plot involved the main character trying to get to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on February 29th, which apparently according to Irish tradition is the only day a woman can propose to a man.
Ah, okay.
And doesn’t he have to say yes, or something? I didn’t pay close attention to the movie, but that seems awfully manipulative to me.
