    I did not care one about Blu-Ray one iota before this sentence

    is the difference really that grand?

    2001 is one of those movies that looks spectacular anyway. The DVD is great, but the Blu-Ray is that much better.

    2001 kicks the fuck out of everything.

    what is incredible about 2001 is that it does not date, at all

    I do not know how the fuck Kubrick nailed that

    alright, so as a rule i'd knew that if a bunch of you hated it I would by default love it

    said rule is still in effect

    now, for my thoughts on the film:
    The film is its own beast. The violence part of the equation most notably. I note that many of you think that things hinted upon in the book are bonked over the head of the viewer. I call bullshit, as aforementioned hints are nearly non-existent in this. It's trimming off a lot from a story that was pretty lean for an ensemble piece. It was outright the only way to convey that information to someone who hadn't read it before.

    Only qualms I had with this? That goddamn sex scene's hilarious song choice.

    so

    i didn't get to see this

    because bella botega first acted cool that a parent was buying my ticket, then wanted them to show ID, and THEN wanted them to buy another ticket so that a parent would be there in the movie

    because i'm too young to handle floppy blue dicks

    Man, I'm chatting on AIM with some of my older friends that moved to Colorado a while ago, asked them what they thought about Watchmen.

    They hated it.

    They also hated the graphic novel.

    But they're like fucking huge comic book nerds.

    What?

    Lord of the Rings.

    The LotR Movies are an upgrade.

    The books were too much description, not enough doing.

    Tolkien had a hardon for backstory, and loved writing page after page about shit that goes nowhere.

    You think an uncut Watchmen film would have been too long?

    I think it's possibly the best transition we could have hoped for -
    the changes made sense, and olthough I would have liked more Rorschach/psychiatrist scenes (especially because of the influence Rorschach has over him)
    , but I loved every bit of it.

    9/10....even if Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah was off-putting ;)

    yeah,
    oh, rather than me figuring it out on my own, SHOW ME MY PAST, MAGIC JOHN. it was really awkward and forced.

    The movie was so good though, it's a shame Malin Ackerman can't act for shit.
