    I haven't seen equilibrium but I might someday because it actually hasn't been hyped up that much to me

    unlike the big lebowski which was supposed to be so hilarious you guys

    I just think the Big L is an awesome movie, in classic Coen Brothers form. I'm a big fan of their dry comedic style.

    Equilibrium is seriously about as badass as they come. Plus its got hot ass Christian Bale in it kicking ass but not being bothered with name taking.

    christian bale and sean bean in one movie, it is bound to be good

    Fucking yes, dude. Terry Gilliam at his best.
    I bought that flick on a total impulse probably 4 years ago and even after getting rid of large chunks of my dvd collection I've always held fast to it.

    I haven't seen it since I was younger and on chemicals of a nefarious nature.

    It's not the best movie to watch when you're coming down off mescaline, let me tell you what.

    I just really felt like they didn't spend enough time on any one part of the story, so I never actually felt involved in any of it. In the end I left the theatre feeling like I had been told a great story, by a crappy storyteller.

    Everyone I know has seen it at least twice.

    Even my Foster Brother and his girlfriend have watched it, and he doesn't watch anything unless it's full of big explosions and half-witted one-liners.

    Elijiah Wood is more feminine looking.

    Well they're pretty close, but the size chart to make Tobey's face was flipped when Elijah was made, so The massive size of T's lips were translated into E's massive eyes.

    whatever they're both ugly.

    Honestly I find its an age to dork ratio thing, with that movie. In that, the younger people are, the more of a dork they have to be to have seen it.
