    The only real problem I had with teefs was her over dependence on using stupid memes and threadshitting in any thread that displeased her.

    3-D movies are awesome and you are being dumb.

    if you wanna watch brendan fraser cash a paycheck in some stinker called journey to the center of the earth, go right ahead. i would personally rather bleed out through my penis.

    i would like to see teefs return here one day. if only to post a big old image of lensman.

    no, I want to watch stuff like Nightmare Before Christmas and Beowulf in 3-D

    because those movies are pretty great in 3-D

    I don't think I can watch 3D movies, what with glasses

    I mean, can you wear both of them at once? doesn't that fuck things up?


    No, that doesn't fuck things up. Why would it fuck things up?

    If you have two eyes, and you can see through both of them, and your brain isn't crazy, you can watch 3D movies.

    Also, 3D is still awesome. They just need to stop with that "Holy crap he's pointing the spear right at me" bullshit and just film them as if they are regular movies.

    also the new 3-D process is pretty sweet because they don't have to use that red/blue stuff and it doesn't cause eyestrain like the old process either

    I don't know how they do it, but it looks amazing

    i saw nightmare before xmas in 3d and it was fucking sweet

    only downside was for some reason they redubbed patrick stewart's narration, so no more patrick stewart :(

    It's terrible but I don't miss teefs much. While I didn't vote to ban her, I did find most of her antics tiring most of the time.

    Same, but banning is bullshit, thats pretty weak. This place is pretty weak if thats how things are run.

    Peace, this is my last post, you all take it easy.

    I just saw this movie. It was fucking brilliant.
    The characters were all so fucking good. And just witnessing the audience's reaction to the movie was priceless by itself

    I want to talk about this movie.

    I read the Time review at the bookstore today.

    They basically said it was shallow and vapid.

    I kind of think that's the point.

    The point of the movie, if could even be said there is one, is to show that things and people are shallow and ridiculous and often comepletely pointless.

    The character portrayals were all so great. A whole bunch of shallow assholes caring about the wrong things

    It was hilarious, too.

    My friend and I, along with maybe 2 other people in a crowded theatre cracked up at the scene where
    clooney leaves the car with Malkovitch's wife and is holding the giant blue sex position wedge. It made it even funnier when I realized only us few people knew what the hell that thing was.

    I actually felt the movie was more about the danger of unrealistic expectations.

    'Cause everyone was acting like they were in a spy movie - low voices, buzz phrases like "raw intelligence" and "Good Samaritan," going to the Russians - despite their very mundane situations.

    They were just so desperate for their lives to be something more. So they jumped at the first opportunity, assuming they were finally as important as they'd always wanted to be.

    yesss. I was hoping either you or PI would love this movie.

    The final scene and Simmon's little monologue was so perfect.
    when he started summarizing how unimportant everything was, I got so excited because I had a feeling the movie was going to end on that note. After it ended, I could just feel so many confused people in the theatre. I found it to be pretty much perfectly executed

    I was the exact same way. I started laughing, and nobody else laughed, so I just laughed even harder.

    On the same note, when Clooney
    is cutting the carrots and finally freaks out, stares angrily at (forgot her name), and just stomps upstairs like a little kid, stomps back down, and leaves with the wedge
    I just fucking lost it. Just the look on his face...

    Oh god and the look Brad Pitt keeps giving him when they're in the car together, with his eyes narrowed in a pathetic attempt at "badass". God

    when I saw this movie the people behind us loudly went "AWWW" as if the movie had withheld information from us or something

    you know, the "aww" that means "but what happened to the characters"

    the entire way out of the theatre my friend and I loudly made fun of whoever those people were by coming up with possible ways we could have learned more about the characters' fates

    (spoilers)
    BRAD PITT CONTINUED TO BE DEAD

    it's a fair initial reaction i think, given that in MOST movies you are shown what happens to characters, not told what happens to them.

    of course, this is the most basic rule of movies/storytelling, and it's obvious that's exactly what the coen bros wanted to fuck with, and hopefully those people will later decide that maybe this was the best way to handle it.

    but they're not stupid for expecting something else.

    This movie was alright. I thought it would have been way better if the entire movie had been played more like The Big Lebowski or Fargo, as opposed to the pseudo-parody route it went. It was fun, though. I can't say I didn't laugh.

    This doesn't come out in NZ until October 16th. Which isn't that long but long enough for me to moan about it because from the trailer I saw it looks hells of good. On the plus side WallE finally came out here so I guess I can see that.
