General movies thread of what have you seen lately?

[Sr.Gabo]

I know, right? I don't know why, but I think Martin Freeman is a better hobbit than Frodo (he's just plain annoying). :O

I actually hated every . single . fucking . hobbit in those movies and Legolas

I think Freeman is a great actor, his Bilbo is likable (unlike every other hobbit) and funny (unlike, well you know)

I also like that the story this time is more personal and simpler. Lets see how this new trilogy goes!

I watched the first Lord of the Rings like 3 times and never watched the others. Since The Hobbit is out, maybe I should try watching the series again.

Watch The Hobbit! You dont need to see the other movies. I say check the other ones as well. I didnt like them that much, but Return is pretty impressive.

Watching a three-hour movie three times is commendable in my book!

I watched the Animatrix. It's a lot like Gotham Knight where it's a bunch of shorts animated by different parties (and they're pretty darned great) and focuses on concepts of The Matrix but also gives a history of how the robots took over and why they use humans for energy.

Yeah, I have a limited edition DVD of Animatrix. I liked the first One, too bad she wasn't. That didn't make sense. :O

[Windstar]

Did it tie into Matrix Reloaded or something? I haven't seen the second one D:

Watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Wow, really great movie with wacky premise. I didn't look up anything about the movie so it was completely unexpected. This is definitely on my list of favorites.

[ehead]

Have I mentioned that I love Eternal Sunshine yet? Its the best film of the decade (for me)!

As for the Matrix, I can't really recall but I guess it did connect somehow with Reloaded.

[Windstar]

Yes, no matter what your avatar is, this is the one that sticks firm in my head.


Fun fact: for some reason I thought it was Owen Wilson before this thread existed.

Glad you liked Eternal Sunshine!

Yes, Animatrix is fantastic. Except for those 2 boring weird ones.

I love LOTR and I have the extended edition... but I'm a little sad they split such a small book (The Hobbit) into 3 films. What's up with that. Oh right, money.

[ehead]

You forgot Peter Jackson.

Keep it that way

I really should see Wrecking Ralph one of these days.

[thomas]

I know they're not very good films but I'd watch Reloaded (ugh) and Revolutions (ughh) just to find out the end of the story. Also, badass fight scenes.

[Windstar]

Badass fight scenes should be worth it. I think I'm going to watch Magic Mike haha. It'll probably be stupid but I like stupid.

I guess if you like the fights the movie is passable. I didnt.

I really cant wait for Django, it looks like Tarantino s best.

[thomas]

Tim Burton's still got it in him! That being said, he really needs to pick a couple of new themes...

Hm. I've never been interested in Tim Burton's stuff... not sure why.

[ehead]

I like 'em.

Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Batman, Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow, etc., all great films. I even found Planet of the Apes fun even though Marky Mark Wahlberg sucked. Also, I'm pretty tempted to get The Dark Knight Trilogy. Still no physical copies available here, ugh!
