Network (****)
Saturday night: Terminator
Sunday night: Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Extreme Version DVD; 2.5 hours long)
Last night: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Someone likes those movies a lot... ;D
I don't think I ever really saw them before, and I picked them up one at a time.. Rise of the Machines wasn't as good as the first two.
Yeah, I'd have to agree...I really only liked the first one.
Quiz Show (***)
Ghostbusters (****)
Anybody see WTC? I'm curious to know if it's good.
The pilot epsiode of Monk.
Street Fighter: The Movie. Watched it on DVD last Thursday. Yes, it may suck, but I liked it.
Little Miss Sunshine -- a hilarious dark comedy. Maybe I relate because the characters are all from New Mexico, my home state. Gotta get a glance if you get a chance.
Not a movie, but an anime series:
Keroro Gunsou (quite weird anime with 6 alien frogs (!) as the main characters)
From now, it's show OR MOVIE that you last saw.
An epsiode of Monk.
Watching "Colors" on AMC right now as I make this post.
Anyone who's seen the movie, did you know that the Latino gangsta that shot Robert Duvall at the end of the movie when gang arrests were underway was Gerardo, the same guy who brought us Rico Suave?
...Well, now I'm scared...
The Newlywed Game on GSN is what I'm watching now.
Crank
And it was actually a very very very fun movie. Never seen anything like it. Don't go in expecting to see anything even remotely plausible, it's just a fun action flick. Kinda in the same vein as "Running Scared".
GSN from 10 to 12: Blockbusters, Hollywood Squares, Match Game, and Password Plus. Then watched Press Your Luck at 12:30.
An episode of Columbo (the one where he is on vacation on a boat... ship ;) ).

You are AWESOME!
I just watched Murder, She Wrote. I watched GSN this morning from 9 A.M. to 12 P.M.
I also watched Network (****1/2 out of *****) last night. Fucking AMAZING movie, as usual. Peter Finch was an amazing talent.
Thanks. ;D
That's a very very good Columbo.
Now I watched the newest (German dubbed) episode of "King of Queens".
"Just one more thing..." ;D
Card Sharks on GSN. And the epsiode of Cheap Seats I taped last night.
MST3K: The Movie (**** out of *****), soooooo awesome.
I tuned into Dave Letterman Friday night -- the first time I've watched television in about four months. I did it because Gnarls Barkley was performing "Crazy" and I just love that song. Such an amazing voice in that dude.
NFL Football in America Postgame Show on NBC.
There's a very cool new anime on German TV these days.
It's called "Samurai Champloo" and very good. If you have the chance, watch it. I'm now in the process of grabbing the Japanese original from a *cough* bittorrenttracker.
Anyone see "Crank" yet? That is one unintentionally funny movie
The Naked Gun (still funny after all the years)
Great, great movie. Leslie Nielson rules all.
Some episodes of "Bleach". A very good new animation series.
New? I think it's been around since 2001, no?
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Slime People
Quote from: FamicomJL on October 01, 2006, 01:57:42 pm
New? I think it's been around since 2001, no?
The Manga started 2001 (I think), the anime started 2004. Well, it's
relatively new. ;)
Alright, I wasn't off by too much. :P
Some Match Game '74 on an old tape.
Japanese show "Doumoto kyoudai". Basically a music-related talkshow, but always good for a laugh.
ESPNClassic.
"Monomane Battle" (=Imitation Battle)
A Japanese show where they imitate famous people (singers, shows and stuff). Very funny. ;D
Rocky III
I hope the new Rocky that's coming out isn't laughable. :-\
AMC Monsterfest yesterday:
The Fly (1986)
Poltergeist III (1988)
Children of the Corn (1984)
Halloween (1978)
Some of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Quote from: JC on October 21, 2006, 02:07:47 pm

A new Rocky??? :o
That would be Rocky VI then?
Never heard about that, but if it's true it is better not as bad as part V. :-\
Yup, it's going to be called "Rocky Balboa". He's also making a new Rambo film...
Watching The Simpsons right now, but I watched two episodes of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show this afternoon.
Cheap Seats and about 15 minutes of DoND (Deal or No Deal :D)
I watched the first two. I enjoyed them because they were shocking...not in the stunning sense, but in the weak at the knees sense. But I also found them to be a bit predictable and, unfortunately, shallow. But what can you expect from thrillers, right?
Oh yeah - I saw the Exorcist yesterday - great movie. :o
Pretty funny, too.
I watched the Exorcist for the first time about a year ago. And I can see where you're coming from when saying it was funny. Maybe it would have scared me back in the day when it first opened, because horror was pathetic back then, lacking a whole lot of ability to be convincing. I guess it came more at the turn from that lack to having the ability. Anyway, the only part that got me at the knees was when the chick was masterbating (if you can call it that) with the crucifix. Makes my muscles quiver. I haven't seen a good horror flick in a long time. Last one I remember being good was Scream, but in particular the opening scene with Drew Barrymore. So damn frightening, especially when you live out in the middle of no where like she did.
I'm pretty sure it was masterbating, but obviously very violently. I think I recall blood. Perhaps you could call it stabbing herself, but it seemed to be oddly sexual. And I don't recall that line. I remember how big of a deal it was when I was in my first year of college to visit the Exorcist stair in Georgetown, DC. They are quiet impressive and eerie. And no doubt if you tumbled down them, you'd die. But the house that the priest was supposed to have been tossed out of was too far from the stairs for it to have been anything more than clever filmaking that brought the two closer together.
Pardon The Interruption on ESPN.
A Simpsons clip online...if that counts.
Yep. :)
NFL Live, waiting until 5.
ESPN Classic.

"The Most Dangerous Game Master" from the Captain N DVD set.
Hands down, best choice by anyone so far in this thread.
As in episode, or TV show altogether?
Both.
Mine was The X-Files #3x02-"Paper Clip". I took it upon myself as a New Year's Resolution to re-watch the entire series, in order. It's going great so far.
South Park -- the new "nigger guy" episode. Good, good goodness.
Is South Park funny again? It lost me for a few years.
It's got its highs and lows. Last night's episode had its classic offensive comedy. I find that even the crappiest episodes have at least one memorable moment, which, to me, makes them worth the time.
Watched South Park again tonight. Not funny at all. :(
Missed it again (although I liked the lice one). What was this one about?
The lice one was really good, actually. :D Very entertaining. This one was about Cartman investigating a imminent terrorist attack at a Hillary rally. :P
I saw SAW III. Sucks. No worth it.
Already part II wasn't as good as the original.
I'll watch Saw III when a friend has the dvd.
I just watched the newest Simpsons Episode ("Homerazzi"). Nice. ;D
Monty Python: Quest for the Holy Grail
Star Wars -- I'd never seen it before, and I still missed the last 15 minutes. :-\ Oh well...someday.
American Gladiators on ESPN Classic.
HEROES - CAP 11.
Awesome. I really had my doubts about this TV Show, now I'm hooked. DANG.
Howl's Moving Castle ;)
What a coincidence: I just saw Howl's Moving Castle! :o
Blood Diamond....great film.
I saw Blood Diamond a couple weeks ago. I usually like films with Leo in them. You see, I think Leo's gone downhill since What's Eating Gilbert Grape, which I believe was his first film. Yet, veal, I agree with you. It was a great film, but not excellent because it was one of those scripts where what occurs seems too convenient in aiding the plot, too obvious.
Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori - 18. Now fucking post 19 on youtube you bastards!
Ready to the new TMNT, I watch the James Nintendo Nerd Review, he approve the movie, so I'm just waiting.

:D
I ask the age 'cause maybe he's pretty young and maybe he don't feel the same as I feel about the TMNT,the series, the movies, the videogames, I live that era and I'm really excited about the new movie, 'cause it's always cool watch something new about something old. It's refreshing. And yes, it makes me feel older.
I don't know what Grindhouse is, 'cause most movies here change the name when enter to south america.
Grindhouse looks... :-X
Watched Footloose. :)
Watched "Lost in Translation". I liked it.
I saw Major League again. I like that movie

19, actually.
Grindhouse was hella fun, just make sure you see it with the right crowd. If the crowd isn't into it people start getting up and leaving and making noise. The movie is 3 hours long so make sure you get something to drink!
Saw Grindhouse today myself, and I wasn't nearly as disappointed with Death Proof as some of my friends were. Sure, Planet Terror is better, but they're both way fun.
Watched "Pirates of the Carribean 2". I needed to see it because of the impending start of part 3 that I want to watch in cinema.
Shitty informercials. ;)
If it's not Chef Tony or Ron Popeli, I don't like 'em. :P
Yesterday I watched Columbo. The one with Leonard Nimoy.
Great story, great actors, great movie.
The Fantastic Four on TV this noon.
Someone see Spiderman 3, it's worth it?
Went to see Spiderman 3 yesterday night.
Personally, I liked it. Even better than part 1 (didn't see the second one).
I enjoyed my 140 minutes yesterday. Take this as a recommendation. ;)
De la Hoya vs. Mayweather.
That was a good one.
If just all fights were as exciting as this one. ;D
I liked Spiderman 3 as well, although when he went all "alter ego cool guy" wearing a black suit and strutting on the streets I was so embarrased for em that I couldn't watch hahaha :D
I just laughed at that scene. ;D
Don't you just hate when shit like that happens in a movie. It makes you wonder why they went ahead with a scene like that, as if they didn't view it themselves to see if the scene "worked." Maybe it was for the kiddies. I haven't seen this Spider Man one you're talking about.
I just rewatched Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children for like the 7th time now. It is still one of my favorite movies ever.
I still haven't watched Advent Children.
It was on TV the other day, but I didn't like a character's voice, so I couldn't watch it longer.
I need to get the Japanese version somewhere.
Watched the 3 newest Simpsons' episodes in a row.
Episode 17 of season 18 "Marge Gamer") was actually very nice. Marge and Bart played in the same MMORPG "Earthland Realms".
Has anybody watched it, too?
It was a'ight. 8)
CNN -- a news junkie considering rehab. :P
The Scanner Darkly -- weird. :P
New Simpsons again and some episodes of "Tetsuwan Dash", a cool Japanese TV show.
The Last king of Scotland
-good movie.
I had "Home Improvement Season 6" in the mail today (fresh from the USA = amazon.com) and of course I could not resist watching some episodes.
:D
The Breakfast Club, always a classic.
Ah, Breakfast Club...nice. Got a character you relate to most?
Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones
Just saw Disturbia. It surprised me by having a lot of funny moments. Gonna watch Pan's Labyrinth tomorrow.
Saw the last few innings of the Orioles/Nationals baseball game.
saw florida marlins kick some tampa ray ass!
Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi
Lord of the Rings, the second one. I'll say, I find these flicks so boring. :P
Pirates of the Carribean III: At World's End
It was funny, but a bit confusing.
I recommend it for people who like action movies and/or pirates. ;)

Well, I enjoyed the whole movie, I got the DVD and the Soundtrack too in real vynil, a character...well the crazy girl is like mine XD
Haha. I think most people who really like that movie tend to be attracted most to the gothic girl, and for me, I get a little of the nerd, too. But yeah, the character dynamics throughout the whole movie are great. I've never known anyone to admit they are like the athlete. :P

Well, I cannot assume the role of the nerd, 'cause I was kinda regular at school, the crazy girl was more like me, 'cause was a person who none know really well, was like a complete mistery.
Great movie. I recommend this classic for everyone.
I can never get tired of the breakfast club and yeah the gothic girl is one character I can more see myself as.
None of them I could really relate to, but it's just funny seeing all these different people in the same room. :P

the wizard
When it comes to video game-related movies, it doesn't get much better than The Wizard, imo. You know, maybe it does...are there any real NWC videos/pics out there? I don't think I've ever seen anything from them other than the ads, merchandise and prizes.

Sorry for the off-topic, but I see the Wizard a long time ago, sadly there's no torrent on internet (trust torrent) to download and enjoy that classic. And here in the argentinean tv they don't show the movie, some know a trust link to download that classic ? I would appreciatte that.
PM plz :)
Sent you a PM about that. ;)

I thought the ending was too cheesy, though; Batman's voice sucks. :P Still, great movie.

oh yea, just saw "Children of Men"
i saw that one a while back. I didn't enjoy it. The story didn't seem complete.
I LOVED children of men, best movie of 2006 for me.
I saw "knocked up" friday and I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a long ass time. I think "knocked up" is going to be this generations "when harry met sally", destined to be a classic, it was that good.
Watched "The cat returns" (Neko no ongaeshi), a Studio Ghibli anime on TV yesterday.
First time I saw it with German dub. The voice actors did a good job. Most voices seemed to fit the characters. Still like the Japanese dub more, though. :)
Watched Rush Hour 2 last night

I didn't see 12 or 13, though.

Actually Rocky 3 is my favourite in the series.
Clubber Lang... need I say more? ;D
Last time I wanted to watch that I found out that the tape it was supposed to be on didn't work any more. :( I guess I need the dvds soon.
3 is great...gotta love 4 though, with Ivan Drago. 3 was good even if Mickey died. :(
Of course 4 is good, too. I like it almost as well as part 3.
Ivan Drago vs Rocky is Cold War at its best. ;D

And that's what makes them so funny.
Yesterday at night I zapped a bit and there was an 80s movie on with Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking some a**es in Israel or somewhere. :D I didn't even bother to look up the movies title.
Top Gun is a perfect example. :P
Saw a show called "Clever" on TV.
There I saw a video about "fainting goats". :D
This was so hilarious that I researched that on the web and found this youtube video.

It sure brought back some memories... I saw a chunk of it about 4 years ago when I was in driving school; it runs through lunch so we got to see movies. :P
This time I saw the whole thing... powerful film.

to the cinema alone is not my choice...
The next is going be
Slither!!
I don't ever go to the theatre alone; that's why I wasn't able to see X-Men 3, Saw 3, & Grindhouse... everybody already saw those while I was working. :(
haha! I go to the theater alone almost exclusively! Its better to go alone early, like for a 12 or 2 o'clock show. My fiancee hates most of the big hollywood flicks I like to see, so I have no choice but to go alone. See always comes along for documentaries, indies, or foreign flicks though.
Anyway, GO SEE TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o
Saw it this afternoon and it was fucking great!!!!!!!! Most fun I've had in a movie in years.

"You've got Playstation?"
"No--I've got Playstation 2."
Damn, I haven't seen that episode yet. Need to watch more. ;D
Scarface - Platinum Edition
I've noticed, not to stereotype or anything, that blacks and some browns have a strange fascination with that film, not really watching it, but wearing it...in Harlem, I used to see a bunch of blacks with Scarface jackets, and similar here in NM among the more thug-inclined Hispanics. They sell lots of Scarface posters at the major flea market in Albuquerque.
Anyway...was it the Pacino version or the original? I've always wanted to see the original because I have an interest in Howard Hughes.
Al Pacino - funny; I wouldn't have any idea what you were talking about if my brother hadn't told me it was a remake.
Anyway, just saw Lawnmower Man... didn't expect Pierce Brosnan to be in it. Whilst watching the credits, one name caught my eye:
Set Dresser JUSTIN BAILEY :P
Documentary on TV about videogames (computergames). It wasn't as biased as I expected. :o :D

I'm latino, definately not thugged out, and have some scarface shirts.
Yeah...I have noticed they sell those posters and shirts at major corpse like Hastings entertainment stores. So, I imagine they're in the general market more than just with thugs. I'm Hispanic myself, but never owned a shirt, nor seen the film.
Its a great film, very 80's.

Anybody ever see MXC? It's a dubbed Takeshi's Castle.
I used to watch Takeshi's Castle when they showed it in Germany. I don't remember the language it was in, though. I think it was Japanese with subtitles, not sure.
Takeshi's Castle was a very funny show.

Wow, I heard it was really good. How was it?
It's got shock value. The stories of the suicidal are ok. I'd recommend it since there aren't very many docs like it. What'll shock the most is how they make suicide from the GG Bridge seem so normal...la-dee-da...that dude's strolling across the bridge...he pauses...oh he's jumping off...Very unusual.
The first half of The D.I. I'll see the second half tomorrow. :)

Movie: Flushed Away
TV Show: American Gladiators Season 3 Grand Championship
Death of a President -- it's a mockumentary about the assassination of President Bush. Quite good actually...and not just 'cause I'm not a fan of Bush. It's very realistic.
I've never heard of something like that.

Sounds interesting.
I watched a cool documentary about sharks and crocodiles, but due to a huge thunderstorm we had to turn off all electric appliances. :(

Personally I liked it. It probably wasn't the best they could have produced, but somehow they picked up a serious issue with pollution and the moral that you have to hold on to the people you love. They carried that message over pretty well.
Gags are about as much as in a regular episode, only that the movie is about 3 times as long, which isn't a bad thing. It didn't seem like 75 minutes to me. That's a good thing, because if I was bored it would seem longer to me. ;)
I'm going to see simpsons tomorrow hopefully so lets see how it goes.
Rocky III
"Rocky IV" and "Rocky Balboa"
Perfume -- enthralling, curious and poignant. But it comes off as one of those movies with too many endings...like the last fucking Lord of the Rings film which had the most endings I'd ever seen in a movie. Had they cut off this movie just a few minutes sooner, the ending would have been much more profound.

I saw that last weekend. I totally agree about the ending being pretty weak. By that point in the movie, though, I was just happy it was over. I think they should have cut about half an hour from the first part of the movie. I mean, what was the point of having an hour of film to introduce the main character? If it had made me feel some sort of empathy for him, then maybe it would have been worth it, but he just comes off as a total creep for the entirety of the movie.
The class of 1984 :D

I wouldn't call the ending weak. It was meaningful up to the last scene in the market. To further disagree, I was totally amazed the entire time because of the unique concept, the underlying theme of sensual (senses) spirituality and the interplay with the profundity of the essence of women. Besides, the movie was largely about quirky characters, particularly the main character who came off as both eerie and beloved -- lengthy character development was essential to the plot.
To each his own...
Hot Rod....it was fuckin awesome! :D

Rush Hour 3 starts next week in Germany. I'd like to see it.

Yeah I liked it well I like all jackie chan movies really but he doesn't do that many exciting stunts like before because of his age which is understandable. I do recommend seeing it.
I actually like the first two Rush Hours, and I'm usually very picky about my comedy.
I watched Elvis: Great Performances today. Cool dude, until he got fat.
Then I'll have to see Rush Hour 3. I liked the first 2 parts of course.
The scene with the woman who wants to chop off the chicken's head for Carter and he starts to panic and then walks off with the live chicken: ;D :D
You Don't Say!
Watched K1 today.
Bob Sapp (=pathetic) vs Peter Aerts and Mighty Mo vs Semmy Schilt.
^^^ NICE!!!! I didn't know there were any other MMA fans in the house! I was a big PRIDE fan now I pretty much just watch UFC and whatever league Fedor fights in (bodog?).
I enjoy watching good fights.
Sometimes I watched PRIDE in Japan, too. Here in Germany they only show K1, though. They don't offer too much in this direction unfortunately.
youtube man, they got pretty much everything.
I saw The Simpsons Movie on Monday
Watched the soccer match Bremen vs Munich (my favs) today. Munich won and scored an impressive 4-0. That new player (Ribery, France) is great. :D
naruto hundo
Home Improvement Season 7. Watched the last episodes of it yesterday, Great show. Can't wait for the release of the last season DVD set.
ESPN's coverage of Michael Vick pleading guilty. :)
I bought the first season DVD set of "Columbo" today and watched an episode.
It was the first time for me to watch it in English. I only knew the German dub from TV.
I must say that I like Peter Falk's dubbed voice better than his original voice. :o Weird...
Watched soccer, too.
Germany beat England in Wembley 2-1. Ain't that nice. ;D
Now Germany won the last match in old Wembley and first match in new Wembley.
watched south park
*thumbs up and Manuel watching Columbo* :)
*thumbs down at Manuel watching soccer* >:(
Well I watched soccer only with 1 eye so to speak. I was on the net during the match. :D

I watched an episode of Taxi.
I sense you don't like soccer... why that? A special reason?
I watched a peruvian soccer match
Enough about soccer. :P :) Just watched a Bob Saget standup special on HBO. I can't get into his crude humor, but he had some good moments.
Really? I heard he's hilarious!
You liked O&A, so you'd like this. His act reminds me of free writing your teacher would make you do in high school, where you just write whatever comes to mind...only...he's in it to shock.
Currently watching Summerslam '94 on WWE 24/7.
An episode of Wheel of Fortune.
super campeones
yikes. I gave that bob saget standup a shot last night....holy shit his routine is awful. i turned it off about halfway and fell asleep. hes funny on his O&A appearances, but his stand-up is just pretty much him saying "thats fucked up!" every other sentence.
Yeah. I know what you mean. His act is very split-brain, multiple personalities, schizophrenic. :-\ Not too great, but I would call it unique.

Mel Brooks' History of the World Part I
"I COME WITH THESE 20...*crash* 10! 10 COMMANDMENTS!"
What an amazing film.
Great movie. My wife saw it for the fist time and liked it too.
Hmm...I've never seen it (but I've seen clips of that part on TV, JL). I'll have to remember to watch it. :)
You definitely have to watch it at least once.
Most of the scenes are great.
"We are now armed with mighty joint!" ... classic. ;D
Basically, any movie directed by Mel Brooks is going to make you laugh your ass off for 90% of the movie...the other ten doesn't have jokes. ;D
I last saw Goldeneye
"Identity"
This one had a very nice *unexpected* twist at the end. It was good.

My wife is now watching a rerun of the MTV Video Music Awards. Man, was B. Spears drunk on the stage or what? ::)
She was terrible, nuh, manuel? Actually, I got pretty fed up with the whole show pretty quickly. It flashed from one thing to the next...playing to the short attention spans of most people nowadays. Bugs me. Plus, it reminded me of a kick back to the decadence of the American 80s. Lots of partying, nothing more...
B.Spears....sucks!
Yeah, JC, I quickly lost interest, too. My wife watched the whole thing, but I just looked over at the TV every now and then.
robot chicken
Watched a rerun of women's soccer.
Germany vs Argentina 11:0. Quite a lot of goals there. ;D

Kill Bill Vol.2
1408
I must say I quite enjoyed that one. It had some interesting shock moments and wasn't as predictable as many other "horror" movies these days.
I think I'll get the DVD too, as soon as it's cheap enough.
Resident Evil Extinction
I saw a preview trailer for it and it seemed like a very generic "action movie with good looking actress, but nothing more".
So how did you like it?

It had videos of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario. Now I know I want both! :)
I guess the first thing to buy for me in Japan will be a Wii. Hopefully there will be a price-cut. (One is allowed to dream, right?) :)
Well with the holiday season right around the corner I wouldn't be surprised if the price is cut especially since Sony is planning on doing the same for their crappy PS3....

Hollywood sucks and so does most of the shit it puts out. But! I liked Juno. If you haven't seen it, it's probably the most clever comedy since Napoleon Dynamite (a movie I hated, by the way, and one I hate to use for comparison purposes). Juno is highly recommended -- it's the best movie I've seen in about three years, which is saying a lot, because I'm very critical, almost cynical, when it comes to films.
Yeah. I heard Juno was a great movie. I can't wait to see it.
I saw There Will Be Blood. Daniel Day Lewis is the man of course. It was really good and I like how it sort of documents I time of early america we don't see that much. I've read a lot of reviews which have have praised the soundtrack a lot (which is by Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead) but honestly I thought the movie seemed to rely on the soundtrack a little too much. The use of music was slightly manipulative and made you feel like you were being pulled along by the music rather than any kind of story. That's how I felt at least. A lot of people didn't seem to have this problem. See it and tell me what you think.

Today I had a day off work and relaxed by watching 2 episodes of Columbo.
"Candidate for Crime" & "Double Exposure"
AVP 2. What a load of shit that was. I still can't believe they actually allowed the viewers to witness a chest burster ripping out of a 10 year old kid and a pregnant woman during scenes-no morals at all.
20th Century Fox should of let Ridley Scott or James Cameron direct the franchise. Obviously the director did not read the comics or the books!!! They really screwed-up the AVP legacy. ALIENS will always be the best film out of the lot.

German TV gets crappier all the time. :o
Really nothing interesting on any more.
When there's a good movie it's packed with an hour of commercials. >:(
I wish they'd show Columbo more often. They don't, so I watch the DVDs.
Oh, and the Baywatch dude... he isn't really THAT popular in Germany. Must be some modern urban legend. *seriously*

Why is all german tv synchronosized?
for example the a-team. I heard from a german carpenter a couple of times ago that home alone is called in germany Kevin allein zu Hause. Is this right? :o
Germans don't understand English and they don't want to read subtitles. That's why everything is dubbed in German.
Home Alone is indeed "Kevin allein zu Haus". Home Alone 2 is "Kevin allein in New York".

I've ordered the 8th season box set yesterday. It will be out in June. :D
also yesterday:
I watched soccer. Switzerland vs Germany 0:4
Nice game. 8)
Looking forward to the Euro Championships in June. :D
Waterworld -- has some good humor, but kinda lackluster. I've been ill, so I've been watching too much TV. :P
No Country For Old Men with my new girlfriend. I love that movie so much.
People have been begging me to watch that (it was filmed in my state and we take great pride in that, for some reason). I'll have to give it a go.
Watched a documentary about Chernobyl and how wild animals are living there without human influence now. Very interesting.
That sounds like a cool documentary. Reminds me of when scientists discovered an almost completely sealed cave. It'd been sealed for millions of years, they said, and the creatures they found inside had been isolated, in their own ecosystem. You can imagine how different things would develop. To point out the obvious, none of the creatures had eyes.
I watched No Country for Old Men. While I found the serial killer character to be compelling and unique, I didn't like the movie at all. Kinda slow, kinda boring -- and the story didn't seem to wrap itself up like it needed to.
Hot Fuzz
Very entertaining and quite similar to Shaun of the Dead (what could you expect with the same director and main cast).
I love Hot Fuzz. I actually think it's funnier than Shaun.
Animal Cops Houston!
Ratatouille and Rush Hour 3
Some bonus materials from the first season DVD set of King of Queens.The making of is very interesting.
I watched America Deportes which is a futbol recap of the Peruvian tournament. Some of these teams should be playing better.....The intros to the before the match are really enjoyable though. That's one of the reasons I watch the show.

Too bad it'll only ever be the second-best comic book movie this year, since The Dark Knight will completely destroy it. ;D
yeah, i thought the same.
it was very good for a comic book movie. especially after fantastic four imo

That is painful to hear. Sorry you had to do that.
Bleach (in Japanese of course.) Love that show.
I just saw Speedracer, yesterday. It was quite excellent, but I of course liked the cartoon as a child. So, my opinion might not mean much.
a korean movie called black house.
Saw Speed Racer on Saturday, I loved it. It's not for everyone, though...it's REALLY over-the-top and cartoony.
Watched an episode of Columbo to calm down a bit.
Grave of the Fireflies. :'(
simpsons show
I went and saw Iron Man the other day. There were some cool parts and the CG was great, but overall the movie sucked. :P
Rikki-Oh: The story of Ricky.
Most violent movie EVAR. Hilarious Engrish, though.
walk hard
Hook. I adore that movie. RU-FI-OOOOOOO! Yeah, if you couldn't tell my name is a play on Rufio.
Just saw a midnight showing of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Probably the third best of the Indiana Jones movies...better than Temple, but not as good as Raiders or Last Crusade.
I saw Narnia the other day. It was alright, but nowhere near as good as the first one.
Harold and Kumar 2!
watched some Columbo while falling asleep two nights ago. I rented the first of the movie sets. Him and Monk rock.

Did it come complete with extremely offsync dubs? :O
Was the brother in Speed Racer always saying he wants to meet speed but now it's not the time like in all the cartoon episodes? :P
Samurai Champloo (series), but this time I watched it in Japanese. I have to say the English dub is uniquely on par with the Japanese, if not better in some ways. It's one of my favorites.
I also watched the GunGrave series a bit ago. Such a great anime, and I don't really like anime all too much to begin with.
Oh? I have never seen GunGrave, but I have heard good things. I will have to check it out sometime.
You won't be disapointed!!!
It's one of those shows where they show you the ending first, and then build up to it from there. :) Sooo good. :)

Listen to me corina, we have to get outta here! :P
That plastic bag is the most beautiful thing in the world... while I'm enjoying a government developed joint! :P
Still a great movie! Kevin Spacey hasn't had a better performance...
My younger bro is into film editing, and wanting to study film in college. Were watching the film a couple of times, once with the script in hand to compare and chat. Kinda fun, if you've never analyzed film.

Futurama: the beast with a billion backs
The Incredible Hulk. It truly does justice to the Marvel Universe, with references to Stark Industries, SHIELD, Nick Fury, Captain America's "super soldier serum", and a surprise appearance by another established superhero...

Yup. And there's also a bra drill and an appearance of the flying guillutine

The scenes in the Surplus store are a real treat... Anyone know any people like that propertier? :o
Gangs of New York, which is my favorite movie. Daniel Day Lewis is a treat to watch as Bill The Butcher. I think it's his best role yet.

Gangs of New York, which is my favorite movie. Daniel Day Lewis is a treat to watch as Bill The Butcher. I think it's his best role yet.
I agree. I have never seen him in better form. Of course, I have not seen "There Will Be Blood" yet...
Is it just me, or does Liam Neison sign up for every role where he is a mentor, wise-man, father-like figurehead? Go Dead Rabbits!
"There Will Be Blood" was a movie I actually enjoyed. Some people may find it a bit drab, but I loved the brooding sense that builds to it's climactic end. It's a great historically accurate time piece about the oil industry as well.
That comment about Liam Neison is seemingly true. Off the top of my head, "Batman Begins".
I just saw Hellboy 2. I actually think I liked it more than the first, and I really liked the first one.
Saw a midnight showing of The Dark Knight. Easily the best comic book movie I'd ever seen, and honestly one of the best overall films I've watched in my lifetime. Nearly flawless.
Mythbusters.
Downloaded 40GigaBytes (=6 seasons) of Mythbusters the last day (took around 14 hours), which I now watch randomly every now and then. ;D
Fun with Dick and Jane
The Dark Knight in IMAX. What an incredible experience.

Eastern Promises.
Viggo is too cool for school 8)
Xfiles!
Reign- the Conquerer (anime)
I watched a few episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion again after a few years and now I don't actually need subtitles to understand what they say. I must say it's much nicer without all the subtitle-reading. :)
battle for the planet of the apes
The Dark Knight (finally!) Superb flick..
Incidentally, it was hard seeing Maggie Gyllenhaal in this movie.. her nostrils were enormous. Its like they filmed her scenes with the camera under her nose.
Yeah the Dark Knight is a great movie. I still laugh from time to time when Batman speaks....LOL!
Watching Pulp Fiction RIGHT NOW
Watching the Olympics opening ceremony
Same here.
Chapelle's Show (With the R. Kelly spoof "I wanna piss on you")

Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget.

OOHHH YEAHH SHE IS..... :P :P :P
soooo??? She doesn't check the forum.... ;D
You still can find people hot even when you are married. :) RLLY! ;D
Saw the new Woody Allen movie, Vicky Christina Barcelona. Not up to his best standards, but the man still makes a great film.
Haveing Scarlett Johansen and Penelope Cruz doesn't hurt....
Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XVIII
Finally saw Jumper. I read the book dozens of times since I picked it up in high school. I could pull a George Lucas fanboy rant and quote "this movie raped my childhood"...
Or I can just say its a complete mockery of the book's message and characters.... and if anyone ever picks up this book they will find out how well written it is..
I saw more olympics yesterday
Me too. Japan won gold in softball... Makes the wife happy. :D
ohh yeahh softball hmmm I watched that closely....ohh yeahhh!
Cute girls, eh? ;D
I liked the jumpsuits China wears...with the cool flame red, orange then white near the neck... their designs for this years Olypmics were excellent.
Oh and what was INSIDE those suits..were very nice too! :P
i hate to watch sports in general. especially hockey, tour de france shit, iceskating, soccer and so.
turning is cool and i wish that there was american football here on the tv. but thats not populair enough i think in europe.
Stargate Continuum
I watched the US Womens Beach Volleyball team kick China's ass for gold. It was awsome.
Just watched a tape recording I have on John McCain speaking at my university in 2002. Didn't say much that could be used against him. :( He did call himself old and senile. :)
And 6 years later he's older and more senile. Perfect. ;D
Why do I always think of French Fries when I hear his name? ::)

I've been rewatching Twin Peaks recently. One of the best shows of the late 80's/early 90's, right up there with MST3k and The X-Files.
I saw Burn After Reading last week. Pretty funny movie, heh.
Yeah, it was OK, but they killed off the best character too soon. :P
A Clockwork Orange.
The documentary included on the Rodan/War of the Gargantuas set. Now I need to watch the movies themselves.

Max Payne. Not bad, actually. Pretty close to the games, more so than most adaptations.
Watched Alien last night. I'd never seen it before, and while I'm bored by a lot of movies, I really liked it. :)
No Country for Old Men. Highly reccomended. Can't believe Woody Harrelson scored a role in it. Josh Brolin really has come into his own with his acting, from "Goonies" teen to skate rat in "Thrashin'" (skating against the Daggers! Radical!), and now pulling off roles in Planet Terror, No Country for Old Men and "W". He's overdue for some recognition. He wasn't a bad SNL host, either... too bad he was overshadowed by so many cameos that night.
I saw "No Country For Old Men" in the theaters, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Max Payne.
Some parts were a lot like Resident Evil...
Gremlins 2: the New Batch.. it was so awful I was thoroughly entertained. Thank god they had gene-splicing potions laying all over the place!
Hopkins vs. Pavlik -- what a joke Pavlik is! :P
Saw V
How is Saw V? I'll probably wait for it to come out on dvd instead of seeing it in the theatre.
It was OK. Not really shocked with the ending either like how the commercial said.
Labyrinth -- best character? Hmm...I love that old garbage woman in the trash dump, so annoying and creepy...As old as I am, I still have trouble watching those things that can remove their heads.
I saw 30 Days of Night with the girlfriend a few hours ago. It wasn't really what I expected, heh. I was entertained none the less. :)
Election news on NHK.

Did you like it?
Yea it was funny, but its not as good as the last 2 movies though.

I hope what you heard is right.
I'd love to see a new season of Futurama.
Nightmare Before Christmas. Its never too early to scare young children with this movie. Also in the special features is Frankenweenie!

I agree Jedi. They could have improved it by having Grandpa put Windex on everyone as cologne while he said his last line

Encino Man
I saw both Yes Man and Seven Pounds in the same day, thanks to an enterprising friend of ours who works at the local theatre. Yes Man was funnier than I expected, honestly, and I'd watch it again given the chance. Seven Pounds is an amazing movie, but...one of the most depressing things I have ever watched, and I felt like I had to give my brain a bath afterwards to wash all the misery out. I totally watched them in the wrong order, maybe seeing Yes Man second would've cheered me up.
I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown... I really enjoyed Linus and Lucy's younger brother, Rerun. He is sorely underused, and this special highlighted him and showed how appealing he can be. Who can get booted out of kindergarden for harassment? That's Rerun, telling a girl with braids that they should run off to Paris someday. In retrospect, Rerun says, "I don't even know where Paris is!"
Yes Man - good stuff

Tiger Joe, (1981) starring David Warbeck, Annie Belle, Tony King, Alan Collins, Giancarlo Badessi, Director Anthony M. Dawson, Dare To Stop Him! In this action-packed tradition of Rambo, Tiger Joe, starring David Warbeck, Allan Collins and Annie Belle (House On The Edge Of The Park) explodes as three U.S. military men return to the steamy jungles of Cambodia and dare to challenge the enemy hidden there. Tiger Joe (Warbeck) once an Air Force Phantom pilot during the Vietnam war, is now a gun-runner for the Cambodian nationalists. He and two of his war-time buddies risk their lives for the nationalist cause. On a very dangerous mission, Tiger Joe is shot down, captured and tortured by the enemy guerrillas. His only hope of survival is to somehow escape and travel inside the jungle. Through the help of a beautiful medic, Tiger Joe breaks out and takes on the guerrillas on his own. They tried to stop him, but Tiger Joe was ready for the battle of his life!
The particular print of the movie I have is in a letter boxed format from off of an S-VHS Master Tape to DVD transfer, with Japanese subtitles appearing [burned in] at the bottom of the screen even though dialogue is in English. It was not a stand alone movie however, but rather came in a (3) DVD box set with 9 other films called: MERCS: Soldiers of Fortune 10 Pack DVD Film Collection (http://www.amazon.com/Grindhouse-Experience-Presents-Soldiers-Fortune/dp/B001BBH68Q) for a mere $14.99 at BEST BUY or $17.99 on Amazon. Don't expect a slick budgeted masterpiece, but it's action in the vein of RAMBO: First Blood Part 2 and Uncommon Valor, which are both equally good films, though it's interesting to note that this film predates the 2003 film Tears of the Sun by 27 years and deals with similar issues of "Ethnic Cleansing/Genocide" and the people caught up in it... though this flick was going for the pure entertainment angle and delivers a plenty, though it is B-GRADE and paced. It's not all lock 'n load and rock 'n roll. I had a lot of fun with this film, I think anyone who accepts it for what it is will to. Sucks I'm just now discovering this David Warbeck dude, he seems kinda cool... only to learn he died in 1997. :(
Across The Universe
EDIT- Just got back from Valkyrie.
Don't go to it, it isn't good.

He's from Hong Kong, not all them yella skinned slanty eyes are the same.
Hmm...I didn't know that :D
But, I saw him in this one movie...had Bronx in the title, I don't remember exactly what it was..
But he wasn't speaking English because his mouth wasn't moving with the words...and he was the only guy in the movie that did that..It wasn't for comedy either.. ???

Several episodes of Simpsons season 19.
WOO! I LOVE the Simpsons! ;D I still need Season 11 on DVD, but I have 1-10 on DVD already plus the movie (and the Tracy Ullman shorts) :P
I can't believe iTunes just got the Simpsons, and it's only current seasons
Same here.
I always wait for the DVD boxes to drop in price. In a few months I'm ready to get season 11.
Dou you collect the "head" boxes or regular ones?
I try to collect the heads, but I mostly have the regular ones. I have 8, 9, and 10 in head forme, and I plan to get 11 the same way (Krusty FTW!!)
Hannibal. Fell asleep for an hour of the movie....didn't found it boring I think I was just real tired.
I have the heads for 6-10. Of course I also want the Krusty head.
How many heads are there?
That 70s Show
They started with season 6.
Nice :D You have them all so far except Krusty..
I'm very proud of you :P

Game Center CX has been fansubbed only up to the second season :'(
And manuel, that's probably because you live where Game Center CX is being broadcasted, like local soccer matches don't get broadcasted in the city of origin to encourage people to buy tickets & go to the stadium instead of watching it on TV.
I don't think those tapings are open to the public
Manuel, use a web proxy located in a non-japan place.
Been there, done that. Too slow. Unless you get a private one with a fat link or something.
BTW if somebody finds some good Game Center CX torrents (even raws) please pass the knowledge and PM me ;D
Me, too.
I only found torrents for 3 episodes. RAWs would be nice, too.

Last movie I watched was last night with the wife, a funny film called Forgetting Sarah Marshal, that was on the double bill feature, as before that we watched JOHN RAMBO. As far as "last TV Show" I watched... well, I only ever watch ONE TV show these days, so that would be: Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

AGREED. I went into the film thinking... "Great, ANOTHER dumb comedy film" since, generally it's all my wife likes to watch... but she was willing to watch John Rambo kick some shit and atomize Burmese Thugs with a .50caliber machine gun, so it was only fair. But I figured since I've always had a thing for Kristen Bell/Veronica Mars, why the hell not? Movie ended up being more enjoyable than it had a right to be, and I even found Mila Kunis freaking hot/attractive in the flick, as generally she just has never appealed to me (though maybe it had more to do with her role as "Jackie" on
That 70s' Show). We watched the unrated extended version though, and I could have lived my whole life without seeing Jason Segel's cock like 4 or 5 times throughout the film, but it could have been worse. I wanna know why we didn't see Kristen Bell get nekkid personally, would've only been right, though Mila did flash the audience in a photo. ;D
I think Russell Brand (Aldous Snow of Infant Sorrow) stole the movie though. I'd never even heard of the dude before but I still have "Inside You" in my head. Damn that guy! >:( As for tonight, the last thing I saw was the 1983 Aussie film with Nicole Kidman of...
(http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll294/MX_5000/BMXBandits.jpg)
picked up a FULL FRAME DVD of it sometime in October of 2008, last year (had never head of it before) at a Walgreens Drugstore for .99cents, and it's turned out to be the best dollar I've ever spent money wise. While I'm still an avid BMXer myself (riding around on a 2008 GT Fueler rechristened "SCOPEDOG") and enjoy the movie, though not as much as the 1986 classic of RAD... my daughter absolutely loves BMX Bandits, so I've probably seen the flick like 200 times since purchasing that budget DVD.
*LOL* It helps get her to sleep to, so I'm not complaining.
WALL-E and then Bill Maher
My dad thought Wall-E was good...
I'm not sure what to think of that... :P
What did you think of it?
It was cute for about the first 20 minutes and then I got bored. That love scene with the two robots twirling out in space was fucking stupid -- but it is a kids' film.

Good to see a fellow Leiji Matsumoto fan (I hope) on the boards.
I've been clinging forever to my VIZ Video English Subbed copies
on VHS for their correct and superior translations to the (2) movies,
but I had to finally bite the bullet and purchase bootleg DVDs of the
films because I didn't want to ruin my VHS tapes. Sad thing is, as
with most Hong Kong "boots" the subs are all wrong half the time,
Captain Harlock is called
Captain Hook in the subs, even though
we hear Tetsuro Hoshino clearly say: "Harrokuu" ??? Go figure.
Making me want to bust out a double feature of GE999 and the equally
depressing Adieu GE999 movies, right now. Haven't watched ither of
them in probably (2) years. You have fine taste my friend.
YES! Matsumoto is awesome! Uchu Senkan Yamato is like the best thing ever. I noticed a lot of similarities in the art style between that and Mobile Suit Gundam 0079.
An episode of 6teen. I forget which one.
Slumdog Millionaire -- much, much better than I expected. Epic, in a way.

Interesting comedy questioning religion.
I've been debating whether to watch that. I like his comedy, but I don't like preaching to the choir -- which is what I expect it to be.
I though it was entertaining and insightful for a comedy. I don't see what you'd have to lose by checking it out.
An hour and 41 minutes.
...and the $4.99 rental fee from Blockbuster, too, I suppose. You don't have to watch the entire show if you don't like it, though.
So, let's say 20 minutes of viewing, $4.99, the time you spent driving to rent it, the cost of the gas you used in your car, and the calories you burned and the water vapor and CO2 you exhaled to acquire said video would be your loss. ;)

Forgotten I'd bought this rare DVD of an even rarer
1955 film noir, one of the last of it's kind really. I remember
being surprised GENON of all companies (they normally
release Anime) having put it out a few years ago. I had never
watched it since buying it, and before that I hadn't seen it since
the Austin Film Institute had shown a screening of it in 1995 for
their Film Noir Week at the Dobie Theatre in Austin Texas.
I'd highly recommend the film to aficionados of the Film Noir.
4 episodes of "Operation Repo" on TruTV.

This will be aired coming Sunday in the US.
Just got done watching the first episode (this week/tomorrow is episode 5 I believe) of the new FOX show Doll House with Eliza Dushku. It's kind of a so-so cross between La Femme Nikita from the late 90s with Peta Wilson mixed with equal parts ALIAS with Jennifer Garner and a fucked up 1960s episode of The Outer Limits, with mind erasure thing of the shitty John Woo flick with Ben Affleck called PAYDAY. Can't say I'm too impressed, but I finally got the time to check it out.

I honestly had no idea who Joss Whedon was until after I read that Penny Arcade thing you posted up... then I Googled him which led me to Wikipedia. Never realized Buffy (or Firefly for that matter) was penned by this guy. DOLL HOUSE isn't horrible, I just think I've seen the story done too many times before, in one vein or another... [Counter Strike, La Femme Nikita, ALIAS,] and done much better. But if he can maintain his edge and know where the hell he's going, something that apparently JJ Abrams cannot do as his 4th Season of Alias started to turn to absolute crap, and season 5 was a joke, ending the series in such a half assed manner I'm still fuming over it all. Thus... perhaps I will give DOLL HOUSE a second chance.
Just got done watching...

Pretty interesting stuff really, always wanted to see the
60s TV show, as I remember watching the remake in the
1980s with Greg Morris' son (that got turned into an NES
game), but only ever saw reruns on syndicated reruns in
the early 90s. The episode in particular had these four
neo Nazis trying to recover a secret treasure left by Hitler
to start up the Fourth Reich... but the IMF stopped them of
course. Never did care for the Tom Cruise revisionist rebrand

Yes indeedy, Dead Alive is one of the greatest campy and gory horror movies ever made! Peter Jackson needs to make another masterpiece like this. Anyone seen his other gore movies? Or his take on vulgar muppets, "Meet the Feebles"?
last movie I watched was Jeremiah Johnson about Robert Redford as a mountain man back in the frontier days. Interesting film.

The Dark Knight - about freakin' time!
I saw half of Let the Right One In
Twilight.

Last movie was There Will be Blood. I think the last show I watched was the news before school.
Twilight is fun in a cheesy way- up to the baseball game. After that, it lost my interest quite a bit.

I'm a huge Lee Marvin fan and had never heard of this Police Drama
TV Show, so when I saw the box set yesterday night at SAM'S Club I
picked it up as a Birthday gift to myself. ***It's interesting seeing
Chicago back in 1957, and I love the Film Noir approach it took
which is worlds different from today's Law & Order, etc.
8)
ACES!
What does the "M" stand for?
M is for "Murder". Basically THE M SQUAD was a
1957 prototype for what would be the norm later on
police shows. It's a homicide detachment but also
serves as an "all purpose special duties unit" as well
answering only to the Chief of Police and no one else.
It's interesting to see. I think the format would work even
in today's TV series because of how quickly it moves, and
let's face it... we're in an age of immediacy and AD/HD, with
guys like me having been weaned on MTV Smash Cut music
videos. Put in the present day, at only a half hour (though it have
to be an hour long these days) it could work. Though I pray to
GOD no one would remake this show... it's perfect as it is.
This series will be remade with Justin Timberlake in the leading role.
Haha, it's only a joke. The leading role will be Brad Pitt of course. :P
Stuart Little .... I have no excuses.
Stuart Little is a nice movie. I even have the DVD set with both films.
The Wizard is on HBO Family tonight -- I'll be watching!
Iron Man -- gawd that was terrible. (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2/jerahcordova/shock.gif)
Knowing. Good stuff.
The Dark Knight for the 11th time. Damn this movie is still good.
Last night I saw an episode of Clerks on Adult Swim. It was that episode where J sues Dante for leaving a spill on the ground in his store, and J slips on it.
The ending was fantastic! :D
I love Clerks! I have all 6 episodes on DVD :P
The last show I saw was King of the Hill
Yeah, Clerks is great. Too bad they only made 6 episodes... :(
Last movie I watched was called "What We Do is Secret." It's sorta a biopic about the band "The Germs." Pretty well put together, even if there is some artistic license in there.
How I met Your Mother, Murtaugh.
And if you like the Clerks cartoon, you should watch Clerks 2.
I've seen all the Clerks movies and spinoffs....
Ahh, such a great series
man vs food. The food looks sooo good!
DUDE I'M WATCHING IT TOO! :O
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
Pretty good movie.
Hostel
Not as bad as I assumed based on the reviews.
Brainiac Science Abuse
Clerks. The movie. Didn't think it would be black-and-white.
Very low budget.
I prefer Clerks 2.
Parks and Recreation. I know nothing about television, since I don't watch it much, but it was great. But I love dumb government because it reminds me of my small town's government.
Southland -The pilot episode premiered tonight
It was good.
Lakeview Terrace
STAR WARS - a musical journey!
was frickin' awesome.
Repo! The Genetic Opera.
Saw 5
My dad hates scary movies :P
Then show him Scary Movie 1 and 2. They might change the way he looks at horror movies. XD
I saw the first few minutes of Terminator 1, but then my mom came, so I had to go back to her house.
Terminator series=win. I look forward to seeing Terminator 4 in a month.
Mythbusters (some eps from season 1)
Alien
American Psycho -- man, that movie has some hilarious moments.
Hostel Part II
Was that good? I saw the first one in the theaters and like it but felt like a sequel was unnecessary.
I reasonably enjoyed it.
It's nothing to write home about, but if you liked part 1, you'll probably not hate part 2.
Yeah Hostel II wasn't bad. It had its surprises! 8)
Saw both Peter Pan and Castle in the Sky last night.... and part of Kiki's Delivery Service today. I'm ready for any movie thats not a cartoon at this point. :P
Star Wars "Episode IV" (unaltered version)
Goonies! Finally! Yay! Do the truffle shuffle. :P
You say finally, does that mean you saw it the first time?
Yeah, now I can go play the game now. ;D

Yes, it's on pay-tv channel WOWOW as far as I know. But I don't have pay-tv and the Japanese dub is crappy anyways, so I just download the newest episodes some hours after they were aired in the USA. And 10 years after they were aired I buy the overpriced box sets. ... I hope somebody from Fox reads this and understands what I'm trying to say with this...

Terminator Salvation: I really enjoyed this movie. It was cleverly put together in a way that allows someone who has never seen a movie in the Terminator series to be able to enjoy it. The visuals were very impressive and the music and sound effects were even better! These important aspects really help to get you into the movie. I would recommend Terminator Salvation to all you cool Famicom World dudes. Too bad there will not be an 8-bit Terminator Salvation video game. ;)

Most shows will be on as long as they roll money in.
Having said that, Futurama will get a new season next year. Woohoo!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAT??? OH HAPPY DAY!! I thought that was said and done when it moved to Comedy Central, guess not! ;D That's awesome. I'll be looking forward to those! Comedy Central is probably more popular than Adult Swim due to the fact that it's on 24/7, so I guess improved ratings must be the cause.

I saw that episode again. Moze actually tells Cookie she's off to get rid of something she refuses to touch lips with, & he recalls that when he sees the body (wearing Faymen's clothes) out the window.
Ned then tells him "It was me. I lost control, & I'm losing control right now."

If you like Metalocalypse, you better like Home Movies, since they're by the same person. I can see a lot of Home Movies stuff in Metalocalypse, anyway, I like it. :P That was also the last thing I watched, I have no idea what episode it was, because I was really tired, but if it was in Squigglevision, that's probably why you didn't like it. The first season was the weakest out of them all imo.

The only Cartoon Network/Adult Swim show with Squigglevision. Didn't that Dr.Katz show have it first?
Yes, it did. For whatever reason, I thought that was on Adult Swim, too. It was, right? Oh, and Ed, Edd, and Eddy was also in Squigglevision.

Dr. Katz was never on Adult Swim. It aired on Comedy Central and that's it.
I'm fairly certain Ed, Edd, and Eddy is not in Squigglevision. The characters are squiggly, but they don't move around like Squigglevision animation does.
You're right. According to Wikipedia:

* Dick and Paula Celebrity Special

The Simpsons on Fox
How come there haven't been any new ones lately?
Because season 20 is over.
I think season 21 will start around September. Can't wait!
Oh yeah :P Neither can I! It sort of makes me wonder how many seasons are left. I've always liked the Simpsons. Sure the show has changed over the years, and usually, most people prefer the early seasons over the new ones, but I like them all.
On a separate note, The Cleveland Show is also premiering this Fall on Fox.
Don't listen to all the whiners. I know I don't. I still reasonably enjoy the Simpsons, and if I ever stopped caring about the series, I'd just not watch it any more. If people are so tired of it, why don't they just stop watching and quit yapping? It's not that it hurts anybody when the series runs on another 10 seasons.
OMG - this was pretty funny. I thought it was going to be lame at first:

Crap! I forgot about that movie! I saw it on Adult Swim, but I wanna get it on DVD really bad. What's the Deleted Movie about?
The deleted movie is the movie that Master Shake shows you clips from on the Star Studded Xmas Spectacular episodes. It's basically the same movie, but with certain events happening differently.
In my honest opinion, I think some of those parts should have been in the final movie.
The Simpsons
The one where Abe falls in love with Marge's mom.

Watchmen
FFFF YEAH
I watched it with him. It was awesome.
I saw Watchmen the Director's cut last night. I've read and reread the graphic novel since 1992. It is definitely a movie for the fans, although I have to agree with some critics over the excessive slo-mo scenes.... but coming from the director of 300, I expected it. Anyone notice the Comedian's apartment door had "300" on it (in homage to the director's last movie) regardless of the apartment not being even close to the third floor?
I bet everytime I watch this movie, I may notice something new. That's true in the comic as well, and both can stand on their own.
How much added footage is there in the director's cut?
24 minutes are added. The Holis Mason death scene is new and worth the add on. I haven't seen the theatrical version so I'm not sure what else was added.

I like the original, with Dare to be Stupid XD
The IT Crowd- A British comedy about IT guys working in the basement of a big building. It's really funny! Sucks it never came to the states if I'm correct. My brother and I are watching it on this Netflix direct thing his TV.
Youtube sometimes recommends IT Crowd to me. Maybe I should give it a try?
I recommend it. It's definitely a break from your average sitcom.
I also forgot to say we went to see G-Force yesterday...because my brother really wanted to see it. (???) I liked it better than Transformers 2 :D
When we got home from that, we watched Stepbrothers, also funny!

Inglourious Basterds :) pretty cool movie about killin Nazis
I kinda want to see that. Was it a movie that stood out, or was it pretty borderline?
Why did they spell bastards with an "e"?
i mean it doesnt stand out really. if you've ever seen any other work of tarantino he basically does the same thing. its a spaghetti western with ww2 stuff. and its spelled inglourious basterds because tarantino said that that is the way you say it and the movie title is in "Tarantino Spelling".

I'd never heard of that first one. So this one must be a remake, I guess.
I would've just gone with the double-name.
nope its not a remake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglourious_Basterds
Ah, that better explains why it didn't have a double name. Tarantino didn't want to copy someone else's work, it was only based off of that movie.
By choosing that spelling with the e the movie's searchability on the internet is much better, because all results point to this movie.
Brilliant! We should become Famecom Wourld ;D
Just came back from seeing Inglourious Basterds. Amazing movie.... just amazing...
I'm curious but I don't like Tarantino.

Rocky marathon! Currently watching Rocky 4
Rocky Marathon = The Win!
I also hold one once a year when I get in the mood.
At the time I always watch Tom&Jerry with my son.
ah well was disappointed they didn't aired Rocky V but that's ok. They still showed Rocky IV which is my favorite one which is hard to pick in the first place.
Zelda CD-i Remix. :-\
http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/zelda-cdi-remix.php
Edit:
This was a little funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnA1nL9DN8g&feature=channel
Previews/trailers of several German movies.
I watch that together with my student to improve his listening skills.
Rocky IV was, argueably, the best Rocky of them all. It had an awesome soundtrack (which I own), the obligationary death, an alien robot, James Brown dance sequences, Bridgette Nielson pre-ugliness, the beginning of Dolph Lundgrens illustrious career, and a better ending speech.
In essense, Rocky I and II had the meat and potatos, III had the veggies, but IV was the dessert, completing an excellent meal. V was the cheap mint you get afterwards with the bill.
Rocky Balboa... anyone want to fill that one in?
I don't know - Rocky IV seemed like a fancy light show to me - Rocky III had heart to it. I mean, real heart. How often does someone trade their passion for glory? Rocky lost. It was well played out.
I'm not saying IV was bad - it was good, I liked it.
And Rocky V - cheap mint? Why does everyone hate it? Sure, it didn't have much of a score, interesting fights, or much of anything "showy." It was realistic. The struggle was actually a struggle, not like Rocky IV, sure he was avenging a death, but he had it all. V they were poor all over again! What food item describes that?
I glad you brought up your opinion too, Jedi. While I can appreciate III in certan ways...
-how it started the frequent music montages, as opposed to I and II used sparingly
-how it set the tone for any non-Appollo opponent of Rocky to be involved in a death of someone close (or as in V practically the death of Rocky's spirit.. But that's another debate for another time)
-the incredible chemistry between Rocky and Apollo, and the training...
There was one reason III isn't higher on my list.
-Clubber Lang...the anti-Apollo. No finesse... all power...a big brute. As a bad guy, his character is paper thin.
III had the drama where it needed it to drive the story, but a nemesis, Lang was argueably the weakest out of the 6 movies.
I liked V a lot as well. It was nothing like the others but it had some great moments. I like the fact that he goes back where he started and all the memories from the past come back. It was a great way to end the movie saga. I also like the part near the end where he punches that don king wanna be, I never felt such a great feeling!! "sue me for what?" har har har!
I also thought V isn't as bad as everybody says.
It's a good movie in my book.
Ooooh lets talk about V..it was very hard to get past Paulie being able to become Power of Attorney to all of Rocky's finances, and losing it all...
.. And Rocky not knowing he could make plenty of money (even back then) on speaking engagements, advertising and hawking products or services (he was smarter than he was in II)..
Wouldn't any bank give a loan to a proven money-maker like Rocky?
So... instead Rocky dragged them to the poor area he grew up in. I don't neccessarily consider that taking care of your family in the best way.
I know they just wanted the story to take place with Rocky back where he started, but Rocky Balboa (the movie) had a better "back to your roots" set up.
In essence...
While V had some entertaining parts, the " Go For It!" catchphrase they tried to
incorporate was almost mockable, and Rocky's blantant way of ignoring his only child was highly annoying. Rocky just seems selfish and self-serving with his pride, living vicariously through Tommy.
Is this movie my least favorite? Absolutely.

Big brute? This guy was fast! Notice how Rocky got killed in 2 rounds? Also how he lost weight before his rematch? In fact, I think that was the quickest Rocky fight of all the movies.
I could say everything about Ivan Drago you just said about Clubber Lang - all power... big brute. As a bad guy, his character is paper thin, I mean - what's his motive?
If he dies, he dies. Where does that come from? I liked near the end how everyone's all over him when he's losing. A little sympathy for him there.
Is it just me or does this not make sense? Drago was taking steroids! Rocky was seriously at a huge disadvantage in that one - he was taken out of his natural environment, running up mountains, (mostly) under supervision - & he still wins. Good plot, but unrealistic in the fight sense - I think it was a bit of a tacky motivational setup. I liked the speech, too.
Rocky III, he needed to get his ass kicked in gear, & same goes for Rocky V (ok, he didn't "need" it this time, but it happened - it's called "real life" - something that the fourth Rocky was less of).
QuoteRocky's blantant way of ignoring his only child was highly annoying. Rocky just seems selfish and self-serving with his pride, living vicariously through Tommy.
Was he ignoring his son? Yes. Can we blame him? Ok, yes. But try to understand, his career is finished - that's it, & everything is gone. He's trying to breathe life into himself again, & this is the only readily available solution (to him).
On a side note. Anyone remember Over the Top? I just wanted to punch that spoiled brat kid of his. :P Rocky had a better father-son depiction.
Good rebuttal Jedi. I will start with your points on III.
I believe Clubber Lang won that fight because Rocky was not prepared for him. Mick the manager was purposefully making Rocky fight crappy fighters to protect him. Rocky had gone soft, even in his training, had no eye of the tiger that Apollo will ignite later. The decisive edge of that fight did and should have been all Clubber's. I didn't feel it made him the superior fighter or develop his character any better. As the movie progresses, Clubber just becomes a bigger jerk more and more.
On IV..
I feel Dragos's character had some meat to it. He is a soldier of his country during the Cold War. He is sacrificing his body and doing what he is told, for the good of Russia. There is a bit of quiet nobleness about him, whereas we see from his eyes when he is in America our excessiveness and cockiness.
Seeing Drago as Rocky's enemy might as well just yell out "USA vs. USSR!", as evidenced in the exploding boxing gloves at the start of the film... and I feel Drago was a good representitive of Russia, the steriod useage, technology and drive to stay ahead of the USA, not just in a weapons race, but also in the boxing ring.
Drago had the decency, like Apollo, to accept his loss at the end.
I can agree with all of your points on V. I had higher hopes for Rocky to do the right thing by his family, all around.
Yeah, that kid from Over the Top should have been hit by a truck after jumping out of the Stallone's semi. Isn't that the same kid from Flight of the Navigator?

Ace Ventura
flash forward - it's ok but has that familiar 'Americanism' vibe that erodes the best parts of its character.
It's like, you can't just walk down the road Fiennes! you gotta have it in slow-mo with flame and explosions and a revenge face to boot. Shame, as it basically stops you relating to it as if it MIGHT be real life, which is where it's core success lies.
Oh well, I can look past it. At the moment it's in danger of becoming the new lost or heroes - starting promising, gaining hype, turning shit.

That doesn't come out til later this month does it? I heard it doesn't come out till the middle-end of the month. Our town's theater has the movie too. Everyone's saying it's for a special showing, so I don't know when the actual release date is.
Zombieland came out on October 2nd in the US. I don't think it's a limited release; however, I do know that for some reason or another a bunch of theaters didn't have it. It was kind of strange, actually. But definitely catch it if you can.
If not sooner, I'm definitely going to see it this weekend with some friends. It looks like a fun movie.

Saw V - I think it went downhill after Saw III, not that Saw II was that great either. :-\ I don't know, the whole series is questionable. Saw I is the only definite good one I can honestly say.
I've seen all but III, and I'm waiting for VI to come out. I dunno, even without seeing III, IV made an amount of sense to me. It was the first one I saw. I will agree that Saw I is probably my first or second favorite one, though.

I saw that movie. I thought it was kind of umm.... Weird.
And it ended in a sort of bad way. Instead of a good ending, he just lets the...things.... down, then sails off.
Um...semi-spoilers ahead for Where the Wild Things Are. Fair warning.
Well, yeah. The monsters are all metaphors for his life, personality, and imagination. He tried to make sense of them and make everyone happy. Life and people simply don't work that way, so there was no way he could do what he promised. The lesson is that you can't make everyone happy all of the time. It dawns on him that his mom is a far better "king" than he is and so he returns home, perhaps also realizing that he's a brat and that his sister understands things that he doesn't.
It wasn't a happy ending, but it managed to be a realistic ending without being a total downer. It shows that life isn't simple, but that there are people who love you and that there are still a lot of good times to be had -- just not all the time. That was my interpretation, anyway.
A Bug's Life - I still like this movie.

It was suspenseful, but just not good. I liked the movie overall, though. The entire time, I was thinking of what the ending was going to be..
the soup :)
Daily show with jon stewart... Gonna see 2012 this weekend.

Seinfeld Season 2
Columbo.
Last episode of season 5.
K-On!
Robocop, and Starship Troopers.
Star Trek, I wish I caught it at the cinema. I didn't expect it to be so good.
2012 (for the second time)
I'm currently watching seasons 1&2 of Ren & Stimpy. I got all of the seasons + the "lost" episodes.
Glad to see another Ren and Stimpy fan, it's too amazing!
I loved it ever since it originally aired. It's nice to see them in their original uncut format this time around, though.
straight from the horse's mouth!
The DVDs are still semi-censored. Check the Amazon reviews for it -- a couple of them list the missing scenes.
I did see the very first one, which seems to list all of the episodes (5) which were edited for the DVD. Still pretty nice to see it in it's (almost) full quality. The digital remastering was done very nicely, too.
The Neverending Story... Awesome.
Goodbye Lenin
Ridiculous concept and quite hilarious.
some show on c-span... ???
The newest Simpsons episode.
I quite enjoyed that one.
I laughed very hard at Lisa's "loser, loser". Hilarious.
INK.
It wasn't half-bad. In fact, I liked it very much. I may even order the Blu-Ray... (edit: Just ordered the Blu-Ray)

Cool! Yesterday i watched Jim Gaffigan King Baby. Twas hilarious! Last movie i saw was Selena for spanish class.
"What was the idea behind Hot Pockets? Was there a marketing meeting somewhere? 'Hey I got an idea, how about we take a Pop-Tart and fill it with really nasty meat? You could cook it in a sleeve thing, dunk it in a toilet."
@Nightstar, yeah, I saw King Baby last night too. Great stuff.

Seeing him ham it up and lashing his tongue out in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was pretty funny. Hope he keeps doing movies on the side.

I just saw that, too. This should probably be added to the list of favorite Saw movie.
Well, it's basically just Amanda's trap. So I wouldn't really go as far as putting it in the poll. The trap is, however, one of my favorites in the series.
It's a wonderful trap :P
Like dork said it's a like draft for Amanda's trap.
The philosophy is great too :

Today and tomorrow, I'm going to watch most of my DVDs I got for Christmas. I just finished seasons 11 of The Simpsons, and now I'm starting to watch season 12. After this, the Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon!
Avatar
I finished watching that a few minutes ago. It was OK -- creative, but too long, typical epic battle and I've got a headache. :P
Yeah. It was alright, but I don't understand the buzz surrounding it at all.
I think a good portion of the hype was completely over the special effects and Cameron's method of filming. I've heard it looks really awesome at an IMAX, but if I want to see a movie, I want to actually like it.
Halloween.
Alpha Dog. There's something compelling about the end of that movie.
King of the Hill
A bunch of Sherlock Holmes Black and Whites. I love them.
Jurassic Park. Ugh.
Just got back from Avatar. Saw it in realD-3D at this big theater in Council Bluffs. The plot was somewhat generic, but it was still really good. The environment was absolutely stunning with those glasses though. :o
I didn't recycle the glasses like you're suppose to either. They're sitting beside me.

Home Improvement.
Revolutionary Road -- what a sick ending.
And now I'm watching Burn After Reading...again. The movie gets better each time I watch it.
The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special on Fox.
It was actually really cool! :D There's this guy in the UK that has basically a house full of Simpsons memorabilia. Over 3,000 different things. :o

watched The Hurt Locker yesterday. Really liked it. I've been in a bit of an Iraq war mood as of late. Watched the full series of Generation Kill as well. Having wisdom teeth removed the other day means I'm rocking the couch for a while.
How does it compare with the book? Does it stay on topic or does it look like they changed a lot of stuff (yeah, I know - change real life incidents :P).

This is how I felt through the whole movie: (http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr343/JediQuestMaster/Image1.gif)
Some of my friends went to see it and their opinions varied from "it sucked hard" to "eh".
"Sucked hard" may be a little too harsh to describe it; MAYBE - who knows, perhaps it perfectly describes it. :-\
I watched Back to the Future II yesterday and Back to the Future the night before. unfortunatley, I can't watch III because some jerk broke it at the video store.
DVR'd the first episode of TAEASGJ season Cinco. I hope the theme of the episode was a gag. I would like it if they kept all the awkwardness, creepy puppets, and other things intact. For the most part, I think they will, but you can never be for sure with them. I also don't like how they changed their personal appearance. >_>
Yeah I miss the old intro. Also, they need more Spaghet! I saw an ad for the the next one, it involves Eric going through puberty. ;D
The Crazies "remake"!
Everyone in my school wants to see that because it was partially made in Lenox, and I think it looks ok. What did you think of it?

I like the original better, but for a remake its not half bad. I saw it because I am a huge Romero fan and like to see remakes and compare.
Phew. Just watched the Puberty episode. All original awkwardness is still in tact, which makes the first episode even better. :D
Blankman. :D a very cheesy movie but still good and funny.
Using my dad's laptop to catch up on my Youtube subscriptions. Right now, I'm watching James Rolf's "Forgotten Video Formats" special, and AVGN's Pong Consoles review.

Purple Rain
Saw the new Alice in Wonderland over the weekend. I went to the Friday matinee showing with my girlfriend and we were the only two in the theater ;D
Did you like it? I haven't much liked recent Tim Burton films. I enjoy Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks and Big Fish, though.
It was okay. Worth the matinee ticket price. Despite looking so dark, it manages to be odd and silly, which is something I enjoyed.
Also, the trailer for the new Karate Kid movie actually looked good.
I have pretty much enjoyed everything he's been involved with except for Mars Attacks & Alice in Wonderland.
I've seen:
-Batman
-Batman Returns
-Nightmare Before Christmas
-Beetlejuice
-Edward Scissorhands
-Corpse Bride
-Charlie & the Chocolate Factory
(And Karate Kid looks promising, by the way.)
I'm usually horrified by remakes. Charlie was the worst. I was so disappointed by the Oompa-Loompas and the songs. The squirrels were cool, at least.
I always thought the original was a disappointment, I mean - what happens to the kids?! :o
He tells you they're alright - but we don't see them again.
I did like the original "gum-chewer turning into a blueberry" incident; I can't stand CGI sometimes, especially the "fatboys" in Alice in Wonderland.
Last movie I watched was on my Television, I watched Ghost Busters 2!!

I have allowed quite a few of my friends locally to watch it and all of them were amazed by how great it truely is.
The film is very fun to watch all the way through, it has a few slow parts but all the slow parts are definitely needed to fill in the story.
It is definitely my 4th favorite Star Trek film, out of the 12 that exist... which says alot about how good it is. It is a must own for any Trekkie or just a casual fan of Star Trek IMHO.

Best? It's an interesting movie but not a film that would be considered awesome/best. If you think about the story and characters it's just idiotic.
I watched and liked it but it's a cheesy movie that I won't even spend money.
Btw, don't take it personal, I don't, each one has his/her own opinion, just stating mine.
Watched an episode of the 1987 version of TMNT & found something interesting (Episode 9):
Anyone who has played TMNT (The Arcade Game) or TMNT III for the NES will find this theme familiar:
http://www.box.net/shared/q9yofalai0
I never knew that was from the cartoon!
I wonder if there is any other music in the TV series besides the main turtle theme Konami has implemented into the video games?
Here's the full episode:

I told my brother not to rent it, but he said he really wanted to see it & did. So then I decided to see Dragon Ball Evolution with him...
bad is an understatement - even with my extremely low expectations.
It's lower than whale snot at the bottom of the ocean.
The cast is horribly cast, the story lacks motivation... it seems like someone was just making some random film & tacked on Dragon Ball themes & called it a Dragon Ball movie.
I'd rather watch Super Mario Bros.
I'd rather watch Nostalgia Critic give bad reviews to movies I like.
I felt I had to make an obligation to go to IMdb to give it a "1" score.
Who was the target audience anyway? Fans of DB will recognize it as a butchering of DB & people who aren't into DB won't care much anyway to watch it.

Cowabunga Shredhead - best '80s TMNT episode!
I went with my girlfriend and we saw "Get Him to the Greek", it was so funny; far superior to "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
They both sound dumb just like "Killers". ::)
I like them both, I hope they make a third part.

Saw it! In 3-D! :o
It was everything I'd hoped it would be. (http://www.websitegoodies.com/smilies/sad0125.gif)
So it's worth seeing, eh? What did you like about it? How is it different from the other two?
Last movie I saw: Hammer's first horror movie, the Curse of Frankenstein. It was actually much worse than their later work, which wasn't a big surprise. Peter Cushing wasn't his usual brilliant self, and Christopher Lee looked pretty lame under all that makeup. It may have been the goriest movie I've ever seen from the '50s, though.
Last TV show I saw: the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the one with John Oliver in South Africa for the World Cup. Fun stuff. Skipped the interview with the comedians, I dunno why he even bothers with those people anymore; it's not like anyone watches the show thinking "Gosh, I hope Will Ferrell is gonna be interviewed on this political satire show!"

Like Nenson said, very emotional.
And the main focus didn't seem to be on the 3-D, sure - there were some scenes that cried out "
look-at-me!" but they fit in with the movie very well.
And I remember seeing the first Toy Story & realizing how brilliant it was, not just because it was CGI (the first of many), but because it was such an emotional story. It was part of my childhood, & it's great to see it once again.
Seriously, this is
NOT another sellout series.
Oh yeah, & Lee Ermey. :P
It was fantastic! It got a little dark later in the movie, but it was very heartbreaking. I loved how (no spoilers :P) in the end, the clouds were the exact same in andys bedroom... It just tore me up :'(
I knew there was something peculiar about the clouds! I just couldn't put my finger on it! :o

I just watched the pilot of the UK version of The Office. Being a huge fan of the US show, I'm not sure how I'll like this one.
You do know the UK one is the original and the US a port, right??
I've seen both but being a Brit I much prefer the subtelty of the original.
To me the US one is great for its own reasons, but I think a lot of British humour doesn't translate well over to the states because it's often poltical humour or very dry.
Yeah I know our version is a remake of sorts. I've seen a few of the episodes of series one and I like it so far, Ricky Gervais is pretty damn hilarious. That said I prefer the US version's fluid narrative and laugh out loud humor. I also have to struggle sometimes to understand their accents haha. British humor doesn't translate all that well in the US in most cases, but I do love Monty Python.

Watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with subtitles on Saturday. I'm terrible at following movies like this, but I absolutely loved the way they used computers. Instead of making up fake programs, they just used actual Macs the whole time. Hacking was the girl running a shell script that connected to the other computer with VNC. Instead of "zoom! enhance!" it was "open with Photoshop, adjust contrast, and use the histogram tool to remove the brightest whites."
Watched Moon today, which felt like a great Twilight Zone episode. Good stuff.
Haha, I watched 20/20 on Friday night. They had a segment about a 600-pound guy. :o

Hah! I watched that one, too! And I never watch that program :P.
Last thing I watched was an episode of Dragon Ball. I've got my wife started on it with me, and we're about 4 episodes into the original how ;D. Only 140+ to go!!
You should just stick with the first saga. The first two at most.
After that it goes downhill. :-\
Saw 4

Heh, well I haven't seen all of it, but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree :P. I really enjoyed the Red Ribbon Army, Commander Red, and General Blue sagas, which is all the further I've gotten. I also hear the Piccolo sagas are pretty fun. I'm just hoping that she enjoys the show enough to stick with it into watching Z. I just picked up the first 3 Dragon Box releases for really cheap.
Rambo (IV) - it impelled me to look into the situation in Burma right now.
Mecum auto car auction
Totoro
The Proposal, horribly generic romantic "comedy"(I didn't laugh once)
4th Episode of the 'Dirty Pair' 1985 animé.
The series looks much more promising than I expected. :D
The Futurama episode about the "eye phone". Epic!
And Leela has a boil named Susan? WTF?! ;D
The new Futurama episodes are great! I'm so glad they're making more now!
Gremlins 2 ;) . This movie is good, but game on the NES is so f***in' awesome ;D . After playing the game I wanted to see a movie too ;) .
Gremlins 2 is great! One day I'll need to get the DVD...
20/20. I need to stop watching that.
Currently watching Napoleon Dynamite on MTV. I love this movie so much.
Metalocalypse season 3
some HBO movie about the USS nuclear submarine the alabama it was actually pretty good
The Cable Guy
In Language Arts 11, we started to watch Roots today.
one piece episode 467
New episodes of Regular Show, Adventure Time, and Mad Magazine on cartoon network. Cartoons are making a comeback, baby!
Earlier today I also watched Back to the Future 1, 2, and 3 for the first time. What a great trilogy! Only wish I watched it sooner.
OMG BACK TO THE FUTURE IS ONE AWESOME TRILOGY!! One of my favorite movie sagas ever!
Yeah, great trilogy.
I'd love to watch those again, too.
Jhon Woo´s The Killer
I love the shooting sequences! :P

Turtles Forever
I had no idea this existed until recently, but I really enjoyed it. The 1987 turtles meet the 2003 turtles and they did a really good job with it.

I think they did an "okay" job of it.
Where did the nuggies come from?
And the 1987 turtles smiled too much. I honestly don't remember seeing teeth on them.

In other countries, it's supposedly called
Death Turkey, because Thanksgiving isn't celebrated in many other places, so look for that if you can't find it under ThanksKilling. Now I'm watching
Monsturd and
Retardead. In that order.
Monsturd got a sequel. The quality of these movies is so incredibly high, I've never watched anything so sophisticated in my life.

Speaking of high quality, the first two Killer Tomatoes movies were really good. ;) Not on instant queue. :(
Mindfreak. I'm bored as hell and netflix canada still lacks anything good really. Most of the stuff is unavailable because they are taking their sweet time ::)
Things like simpsons, south park and a lot more common popular shows and movies still say "Not available" :(

I rewatched Tron with some friends in anticipation for the second one. Hopefully we'll see that one before break is over.
nintendodork, Tron: Legacy was a thrill with quite a few good references to the original. If you like the original then you will likely enjoy Legacy.
True Grit
Tho Cohen brothers have done it again, go see it!
wanted to see true grit anyways lol. That good, hey?
Gulliver's Travels! :o
It was a very silly film and quite funny.
My friend keeps complaining about how the movie sucks compared to the book because it loses lots of it's charm in a modern setting. Having never read the book (or seen the movie), and if I think of the movie as it's own thing, it seems like it'd be a decent movie.
I saw the movie Little Fockers with my brother and his Dad Saturday when I was away. :)

On Blu-ray it's beautiful, the restoration was excellent.
I've saw the HDNET rips so I'm assuming Blu-ray is even better.
I suppose you just watched the DVD version?
Yeah, just watched the DVD.. Watched it on PS3 though, so I guess I could have gotten the bluray..
But older movie DVD rentals are only 100yen for a week. I bet it looks great on bluray though.

I plan to watch that tonight. From what I hear it isn't about zaney conspiracy theories, but rather more about our dark future and what we can do about it. An interesting movie for sure.
Also, just finished watching Deathnote in it's entirety, which is the first anime I've ever watched.
the green hornet
I've been watching endless coverage of the revolution in Egypt.
I just saw I Spit on Your Grave (1978)
I was able to watch the whole thing free if I downloaded the Veoh player - it sucked (the Veoh Player) For some reason it was defaultly muted, & I couldn't unmute it. ??? I could still watch it fine online.
Anyway, the movie was rather interesting: bad acting, bad close ups, good plot, one seriously screwed up character, sadism, & a disturbing castration scene. :o

Wasted a few hours watching the Shining & wasted another hour reading about the hidden messages Stanley Kubrick sends through the recurring numbers: 11, 24, & 42.
Lol, yea Jedi, "Shining" is a masterpiece but personally I believe ppl just took that cryptic, mysterious, hidden thing all over too much, diggin' way to deep. I accept that movie has some particular kind of background, since it came out of Kubrick's head but other than that they're just glitches and bugs in shooting n'stuff. Maybe I'm wrong but that's the way I feel it.
Last movie I saw? ... The Collector and The Tourist. Both nice.

Thor in 3D......Im a big comic fan and I must say I DESPISE all marvel movies, Finally, for once, they have made a decent one. Granted it suffers from the typical Love story on the side BS, but a large portion of the film takes place in Asgard, and if youre a fan of Thor comics, you know how important that is! Also the Destroyer Armor looks sooooooooo freakin' BADASS!!!!!!

So, which version did you watch?
Dragon Dynasty - which was roughly 1h 40 min (so 100 min). We watched it in Cantonese subbed. It had two options:
-5.1 surround
-original mono (<- I chose this one because I wanted to hear the original unremixed music) ;D
Good deal. :) But the movie itself wasn't what I was expecting from reading some reviews.
It had just as much silliness as other Jackie Chan movies (if not more) like Rumble in the Bronx & the Rush Hours. But it did get dead serious at the end, & the stunts were probably the biggest I've seen than in any other Jackie Chan movie.

Louie.
A live-action comedy that's loosely based around comedian Louis C.K's life. I had never seen the show (because I don't get FX) until I received the DVD in the mail today. I bought the DVD because I'm a big fan of his stand-up and I thought the clips of the show he posted on his Youtube channel were pretty great. I'm happy to say that I'm very pleased with what I've seen so far, because in the show, he starts off as if it were stand up, and then there are these things called "extended vignettes" that basically tell the story behind one of the jokes he makes onstage, which is why I think the show appeals to fans of his stand-up, because the extended vignettes still retain the humor that's seen in his stand-up.
Even if you've never heard of Louis C.K, I definitely think you should check out the show on FX. The second season is due to air within the next week or so.
I did watched the first season of Louie and loved it. It had some really funny episodes. I will be tuning in to the new season for sure!
Last show I watched was unsolved mysteries!

Just got back from the new Muppets film. Thought it would be terrible ala Disney style childish Muppets (Muppet treasure Island, Muppets in Space).....Instead this film is a straight THROWBACK to the classic late 70s Muppet style, lots of hidden Adult humor (not really hidden, but a child wouldnt catch on)....Only complaint is there is far too many song and dance numbers, but overall it was awesome and if you grew up watching The Muppet Show you will want to see this for sure!

In Fact, Im going to pop Intruder in right now! nothing beats a slasher flick that takes place in a supermarket! (Really gory film too! Head cut off with a band saw, guy crushed in a Cardboard Bailer.....its awesome!)

I loved The Thing prequel!
An episode of Always Sunny in Philidelphia (the drinking game episode), A Christmas Story, and a funny cartoon that was recorded on the Cable Box with a big blue duck a possum, and their boss who's name I think is Ben. Saw the skunk episode a game night episode and a Karaoke episode... I've seen this a few times but i never caught the name of the cartoon. I really don't watch much TV, but I did this week oddly.

I watched season 2 of Louie on DVD.
Just saw Dark Knight Rises. Yeah, it's pretty nice, but the Dark Knight just had that "holy shit" factor that this didn't.
The Evil Dead

I loved that movie. I forgot the name of what i watched yesterday.
The Cat Returns
Safe House (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1599348/), pretty nice, I enjoyed watching it, however made me even more sick n tired of all of those mess CIA is causing... Denzel Washington however was awesome, as usual :-)
Looking forward to see Prometheus.
I watched a random episode of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. I loved those as a kid and just couldn't help but rewatch a few since I discovered they were on Netflix ;D
The new version of Total Recall.
Is it better/worse/about the same as the original in your opinion?
I like the original because its classic but I thought the new one was more solid in its storyline.
More solid storyline is always good.
I've gotta see this when it's out on BDrip. ;D
During last week I watched all 4 Rambo movies.

I just had a mythbusters binge. I need to buy a beret.
I just went and saw Rifftrax Live - Manos: The Hands of Fate. It was pretty awesome. I haven't seen the original Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, so this was a fresh experience for me. I gotta say, these guys still make me laugh after all the years I've been watching their stuff.
Very much looking forward to the live Birdemic show at the end of October. Also, if you have no idea who Rifftrax is, it's 3 of the guys from MST3k that are still doing movie riffs. Check them out at http://www.rifftrax.com (http://www.rifftrax.com).
I'm half way through the third season of Breaking Bad. Absolutely amazing series.
Famicom Dojo. If you HAVEN'T seen it yet, drop what you're doing and WATCH IT! It's the main reason why I started importing and getting into the Disk System and Famicom. Also, I named my YouTube channel "TwinFami" after the systems.
But, as for a single thing, I just got done watching an episode of Jerry Springer on YouTube called "A Very Klan Christmas". It's weird having my friend who's Jewish on here cheering them on, but those are my friends: weirdos lmao
Currently watching Citizen Kane for my American Film class. I've never seen it before, and it's already interesting to me, but it'd be that much better if Family Guy hadn't spoiled it for me years before I even had the chance to see it.

Edit: Finished watching it. Can't tell if comedy.

...not quite what I had in mind, but it was "okay". I still think the real life incident that the movie was based on was more entertaining. ;D

I see that all the time in my neighborhood, so it's sort of funny.
The last thing I watched was the Giants-Panthers game last night. We SHONE in that game last night.

A video of me playing Street Fighter which someone was kind enough to upload: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p226lmylKos
I saw two movies over the weekend:
Dredd at the cineplex.
John Carter on DVD.
So, Dredd was a lot better than I was expecting. I'm not a huge fan of gore in movies, and I'd read in a ComicCon review that there was lots of it, exploding at your face in 3D. That was still true to some extent, but it was much less disturbing than I was anticipating. Talking about it with my buddy afterward, we decided that since the gore was removed from malicious intent (i.e. people getting brutally killed in horror movies), it was far less distracting. Since I wasn't being pulled out of the movie to go "eww...", I was able to stay with the movie and enjoyed it more as a result.
John Carter was, sadly, not as good as I'd hoped. There was a lot in the movie that I enjoyed, and the overall story was good. However, I really didn't like the look of the CG species. They had too much of that cartoon-y look, and it just didn't sit right with me through most of the movie. Also, one of the subplots of the movie (which seemed like it should be more important) was really vague, poorly explored, and pretty much left unresolved. Grrr...
Watching WWE Raw right now. I don't care if you're a wrestling fan or not, the fact that Jerry Lawler is up, alert, and moving around normally TWO WEEKS after a massive heart attack where he almost died is nothing short of a miracle....
End of Watch
God damn this movie was great! Go see it. now.
Just got up to date on Breaking Bad. I hate having to wait until next year!
Hunger Games + Rifftrax = ;D
That was a lot of fun.
I just watched the first episode of Burn Notice two nights ago on Netflix, and that was really good.
Last night, I watched an episode of Keeping Up Appearances with my wife. Hilarious show ;D.
I just watched the latest Nintendo Direct with my wife... and now we both can't wait for that game! (we'll have to get it twice of course)
1 month and 3 days left! :'(

If you like
Keeping Up Appearances, you'll probably also like
Doc Martin. :)
Hehe, I've watched the first 3 season of Doc Martin. My wife continues to watch the later seasons.
Personally, I was a fan early on, but I didn't like how the show went all romantic-comedy as it progressed. I prefer my comedies to stay comedies. Keeping Up Appearances, Red Dwarf, The IT Crowd, etc.
It's humor is pretty raunchy (which isn't usually my cup of tea), but last week I did just finish the episode 5, first season of The Inbetweeners (U.K.). I haven't laughed that good in a while.
The new series of Red Dwarf. (Well, the first episode of it as the rest of them haven't aired yet) :)
I really think anyone who hasn't checked out Louis CK's series on FX (for which he writes, produces, directs, and sometimes films); Louie, should definitely give it a shot. It's one of the very few shows on TV that can get an audible laugh out of me. It's unique to TV comedy in the sense that The Sopranos was unique to TV drama.
Just my two cents, and also the last thing I watched. :)

Well, the reason I've been off here of a couple weeks is that I've been here with friends and we've been non stop watching Grindhouse and Horror flicks.
The last three we watched were Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, Maniac, and Abby
Just watched the anime 5 Centimeters per Second. It was... interesting. It's gotten rave reviews, and it really was a gorgeous movie, but the ending left me a bit conflicted. I won't say anymore than that, but the film certainly is worth checking out. Just expect a bit of a :crazy: after you're done watching.

Season 1, episode 2 of Mad Men. I'm not sure if I like it... I'm going to give it probably 3 more episodes before I make up my mind.
We just finished watching Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2.
I haven't seen it in a while and it hit me: this movie is literally GAY!
Watched this concept:

LOL, I thought they all were, with the exception of New Nightmare. That didn't stop me from watching them, though ;)
My best friend came over and we all watched The Avengers. DAMN good movie!!
Last movie i watched houseful-2.
Simpsons season 24 episodes 1 & 2
Went and saw Argo last night. Great CIA movie!
I think we have a new (old?) meme:

Argo
It was very good, and I long for the days when everyone had a beard and smoked on planes ;D
About half of Captain America. I've been watching it with Rifftrax, and I'll probably finish it later tonight. I also have Transformers: Dark of the Moon to watch with a Rifftrax ;D
Watched a whole bunch of shitty wrestling matches with friends for a project called "Fucked Up Wrasslin' Volume 1"
A few episodes from season 6 of Home Improvement.
Prometheus!
Damn! Why nobody told me it was a prequel to the "Alien" movie? I postponed watching this because I thought it was some "clash of the titans 2" or something :crazy:

Awesome description :D
Indiana Jones - Temple of DOOM!
Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the animated movie. I actually really enjoy this one. It gets kind of lambasted by critics and fans alike, but I thought it did a lot of things right that the prequel movies did wrong.
In the last few days I watched Harry Potter 1-5 to make the wait for Animal Crossing shorter. ;D
Damn, I missed a lot of stuff when I first watched those movies. Now it all makes a whole lot more sense.
Spiders on Drugs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2HipedgM3I)

I'm not a big fan of Brentalfloss, but I found this song parody really good. (http://thepunkeffect.com/?p=8425)
Maybe I'll take the time to watch the video that goes with it. :-[
:star: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey :star:
Was it good, great, or fantastic?
I need to know.
I also want to go see it, but the English version is only shown in 3D here.
3D tickets are either 2000 Yen (24$) in one cinema or 2200 Yen (26.50$) in another. It has to be really worth it for me to consider going at such ridiculous prices.
I guess in a few months I could import the Blu-Ray for the same price including shipping... :/
It was the pre-premiere, it's officially in cinemas over here from next week. Was in 3D and cost 8,60€
And it was FANTASTIC! The young Bilbo actor was a great choice! There were times where the camera was a bit weird and reminded me of a Argentinian telenovela :crazy: but the ammount of stuff on screen was HUGE and I highly recommend to watch this movie in cinema. Oh and the dwarves....were SO AMAZING! They are my favourite tolkien race now! ;D
What 3D concerns, I think it was not necessary. Totally not worth making this kind of movies in 3D, it was amazing, yes, but I would love to see it in normal 2D.
The 3D should be only for animated movies.
Oh and a small pseudo-spoiler
Spoiler
although this movie has a second part, you won't be sad how the first one ends, so much happens in this movie that you will be satisfied
Maybe I'll go see it after all...
It's out in Japan tomorrow. I'll probably wait until next year, though.
I saw The Hobbit over the weekend, as well.
Boy was I disappointed. If you're a fan specifically of Peter Jackson's Middle Earth and want more of the same, then The Hobbit is probably going to be a great movie for you. If you're a fan of the actual book and are hoping for a more light-hearted romp through Tolkien's Middle Earth, you're going to be sorely disappointed. The movie is seriously dark at times, and most definitely not a children's story like the original. There were some highlights to the film regardless of which camp you fall into, but they weren't enough for me. Overall, it felt like I was watching a prequel to LOTR, not a story that stands up on its own just fine (which it could have been).

I saw it, too, yesterday. In HFR 3D.
The ticket was even cheaper than expected. 1500 Yen + 100 Yen for the 3D glasses. Still expensive, but whatcha gonna do.
I enjoyed it. The almost 3 hours went by without feeling the urge to look at the clock. This is my way of measuring whether a movie is interesting or not. ;D
It wasn't perfect (the rock giant fight was cheesy and a bit overdone imo), but good enough for me.
I'll definitely watch part 2, too.
The Punisher a.k.a. Silent Night, Deadly Night (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OkLFEU-gus#t=1m-1m12s)
I watched Total Recall (2012), Dark Shadows (2012), and Trouble With the Curve over the holiday weekend. Out of all three, I think I enjoyed Trouble With the Curve the most. It had a good story and was solidly done, and you don't even have to be a sports fan to enjoy it (though, I'm sure that helps). 4/5 :star: :star: :star: :star:.
Total Recall was better than I expected. Colin Ferrel was pretty good, although Kate Beckinsale kind of sucked in her role. Jessica Biel had a good turn in the movie, and she was a lot more believable of a character. Still, it doesn't quite beat the Arnold version (especially since there are some rather different plot points). 3/5 :star: :star: :star:.
Dark Shadows was just... bizarre. It was like it wanted to be funny and creepy at the same time, but not creepy-funny. It didn't work. On top of that, there were some really gaping plot holes that took me out of the film. I don't know if the missing pieces were homages to the tv show or if they just expected the audience to glaze over them, but it really took the movie down a few (important) notches. 2/5 :star: :star:.
After watching The Hobbit I busted out my LotR trilogy DVD set and watched The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday.
If nothing other comes up I'll watch The Two Towers tonight and Return of the King tomorrow. :)
The Hobbit. :D
It's awesome.
Downton Abbey Revisited
My wife and I are big Downton fans, and this special look back/look ahead was fun to watch. The new season airs on Masterpiece Contemporary next week on PBS, although we'll probably watch it online on www.pbs.org (http://www.pbs.org).
Speaking of which, if anyone here is a fan of the show and a fan of Breaking Bad, the Colbert Report did a hilarious mash-up spoof of the two shows about a week and a half ago that featured actual actors from Downton. It was absolutely hilarious, and you can find it on Hulu.
The Hobbit, of course.
The Last Stand. It was OK...but a proud moment, since it was filmed in my little town.
Local Hero. It's good movie !
Death Race 2000! :o ;D :P
Didn't expect Sly to be in this. (http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr343/JediQuestMaster/dumbfounded_zps2bdead95.gif)
Warm Bodies. Really good movie, I didn't expect to laugh as much as I did.
Also, there was a PSP in it. Not a PSVita. A PSP. In 2013. Way to go, Sony.
Dawn of the Dead (2004 version)
Street Fighter: The Movie ;D
Zangief and Bison almost saved that movie for me, if its portrayal of my beloved Sumo King wasn't so pitiful and insulting...
I didn't mind the inaccuracies that much myself, although some of the changes were pretty inexplicable and pointless. I liked it mostly because of how cheesy it was. :P
I can't deny that many of the lines in that film are gold. And hey, it's much better than that 2009 Street Fighter movie... I found not a single redeeming quality in SF: The Legend of Chun-Li. I still want a Yie Ar Kung Fu movie.
The Campaign. It was powerful.
Schindler's List... it was :'(
That little girl. :'( He could've saved her. :'( Why?
The Descent
Not as good as expected (from the high IMDB rating), but still bearable.
Borat
Funnier than expected. ;D
Ted, since my friend brought it over a few weeks ago when he dropped by my house.
Funniest thing I've ever seen from Universal.
Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
A few episodes of Game Center CX on youtube.
Watching and listening to Arino is somehow very soothing. ;D

Bruce Willis killing Zed and Maynard. That was my favorite part.

Harry Potter (1st one)
Victor Victoria. Funny movie with an original premise (if you ignore that it was a remake of 1930's German film, anyway :-[).
Watched a documentary on planned obsolescence. Very interesting...
THX 1138...
Last show I saw was that Game Center CX episode where Arino plays through the first Your Sanctuary location in Mother 2. I liked it. Last movie I saw was 21 and Over last week at the movie theater. It was what I expected, crude humor, etc. Rather enjoyed it, but I was on a date with some girl I haven't seen since middle school, and her laughter was quite annoying...
2001: A Space Odyssey
Truly remarkable effects! :o Very refined for a 1968 film. But a totally WTF fourth act! Makes me feel like I forgot the LSD. ???
Lovely music, nonetheless! ;D I liked how it filled the void of silence in the space scenes. Still listening to the exiting overture as I type. (http://www.websitegoodies.com/smilies/party0034.gif)
Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Extended Edition)
Flight 005 Conspiracy ;D
That was the final one! No more Dirty Pair! :'( My life is over. :-\

Watched a real-time speedrun of Gimmick. Very skillful game. In case anyone else wanted to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HGCvhygwtU
:o ... :crazy:
They should show this run to Shinya Arino. :P
Was there a GCCX episode on Gimmick? I've only seen a few of them. I wonder if Arino would get as frustrated as I did collecting the final secret item...
Yes, but I don't remember what episode it was.
They're all gone from youtube. :/
He already had problems at the first boss. ;D
And as far as I remember he didn't know about secret items.
The Host
It was my wife's turn to pick the movie. Sadly, this was her choice. It was pretty bad.
This weekend it's my turn. We're going to go see Jurassic Park 3D 8)
A documentary about compulsive hoarding.
Django Unchained
Another documentary.
This time about parcel delivery people who work for a starvation wage.
I saw the Game Center CX episode on Gimmick, since it's back on YouTube for the time being. I think that has to be my favorite episode yet, the ending was gold, as was Arino attempting to fight the bosses. It reminded me of my hellish experience playing Bucky O'Hare yesterday.
These uploads come and go.
I had a few in my watch later cue, but many disappeared. :(
Yeah, it seems like you have to enjoy them for the short amount of time that they're up. The same is true with music on YouTube, as video game music uploaders TheOSTation recently got suspended for what must be the 100th time now. :(
Oblivion
It was pretty good. As far as sci-fi flicks go, it had a fairly solid premise. I was slightly underwhelmed by the ending, but it wasn't enough to put me off seeing a second go-round some time down the road. Also, Tom Cruise does a nice performance, though I'm starting to see a number of his other roles show through in his non-sequel performances. I suppose there's only so many ways an actor can do angry, intense, etc. I guess, after a while, you've just seen them one too many times. It's like how I'm getting pretty good at picking out when John Williams has done the score for a film; I am too attuned to what has come before.
A few episodes of Gamecenter CX. It astounds me that Arino is actually pretty good at Battletoads... yet he's unfathomably terrible at Mega Man.
I just watched a documentary on bio diesel and how it's not really that good for the environment.
Now I'd like to watch a movie, but I don't know which... :-[
Star Trek: The Next Generation
I just started rewatching the show with my wife. I have the whole series on DVD, but I've never quite sat down to watch the whole thing all the way through (since I saw many episodes growing up). We just finished the first season episode Where No One Has Gone Before. I rather enjoy it, even if it is heavy on Wesley content ::)
Went on to watch The Hunger Games yesterday.
Not bad.
I gotta agree with you there. I was honestly surprised how much I enjoyed it. When you walk into the theater expecting it to be another Twilight-style teen-drama crapfest, and it turns out to be an interesting premise with a solid execution, it kind of blows your mind. I am genuinely interested in seeing the coming sequels.
I forgot to add in my last "I watched" post that I recently finished The Prisoner. What a fantastic show that was. Truly bizarre, but so intriguing all the same. It's a little hard to believe they did a remake of it a couple years ago ::).
Anyways, I'm about to sit down and watch a couple hours of classic Doctor Who. I have almost the entire show on VHS, but I've barely scratched the surface of it when it comes to actually watching it. I've decided to tackle the show once more (with a chips, salsa, and a glass of Coke), starting at the very beginning. Serial no. 1: An Unearthly Child.
Unofficial Squadron Akibaranger. Well, the first episode of the first season, anyway. It seems promising!
Colombiana
Zoe Saldana is soooooo hot!
Legionnaire
The wizard!
The King of Famicom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMJJxKBk5s4
The Look of Love
GameCenter CX on Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa. I've never even seen gameplay of it before this episode, it looks pretty fun. Arino wasn't half bad at it, either.
The Running Man
Saw Robert Downey Jr. 3 the other day.
It was pretty good!
Iron Man 3
A whole ton better than Iron Man 2, but the avengers is still the best.
Lock Up
Last night, the girlfriend and I watched The Transformers: The Movie. It was my first time watching it on a real TV, rather than just on YouTube. The animation was really well done, and there was a lot of detail that I could finally see for the first time. For instance, I hadn't realized that Megatron is basically bleeding from the face after his climactic fight with Optimus Prime. I've had parts of the score and soundtrack stuck in my head all day at work.
Tropic Thunder
I quite enjoyed that one.
I didn't realize Tom Cruise was in there until the end credits. O.O :crazy:
I also never really had an opinion on Robert Downey Jr. but he was awesome.

I'm watching Bindi's bootcamp with the kidlet It's rather odd seeing how much that little girl has grown up into what resembles jailbait :P
The Ultimate Weapon, an action film with Hulk Hogan that apparently no one's heard of. ???
A few of the newer Mythbusters episodes.
Dog Soldiers.. Quite the werewolf movie..
Despicable me.
A good (but not great) movie. The minions were just too cute. ;D
I'm half watching Cars with the little guy.Pixar do some pretty cool movies especially the short ones they have as special features on the dvd's Mater tales is a good collection of the Cars related shorts
Iron Man
Today, I watched the pilot miniseries of the (new) Battlestar Galactica. It was pretty decent. I'm looking forward to watching more of this series.

Monsters University, Frankenweenie, ParaNorman, Hotel Transylvania, Despicable Me - all really great.
A show called scare tactics where they scare the poop right out of people. Its pretty hillarious.
I saw a movie Groundhog Day ;D
that movie is awesome. last show i watched is warehouse 13 :o
Yesterday, I watched Gremlins with the girlfriend's family. Because that's a good holiday movie, you know?
Gremlins is an awesome Christmas movie:)
I took in the Star Wars Holiday Special on X-Mas day. Now THAT is a classic.
I watched the Dr who christmas special again last night. Poor handles :'(
The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug.
Too long and at the end somehow unlogic movie... but it's worth watching if you're fan of the series.
I guess it will be one more sequel?
I watched 47 Ronin with the family - they all thought it was great but I was quite unimpressed.
We were going to watch the Hobbit: tDoS but at 3 hours it's too long. Try don't need to forcibly make these movies that long, it's detrimental. Keep all the action and set pieces and lose the stupid dwarf musicals and bickering sections you'd easily shave an hour off. LOTR 1 was long but engaging all the way through - I get the sense Peter Jackson thinks people 'need 3 hours' or he's not doing the books justice, but that's just zeitgeist nonsense.
I watched that Hobbit Desolation of Smaug in parts, like three days, every day about an hour... at least is not so boring like the first part.
OT. finished watching TV Show Survivor: Blood vs Water!
They let you go back to the cinema each day to watch a bit more? That's really cool :link:
:-[ :-[
i watched it on my dvd player ;)
In my country it's legally to download software for own use, but it's illegall to sell pirated stuff!!
Relax, it just made me chuckle a little.
I've been watching Arrested Development and really enjoying it.
I'm currently watching 7 Ages of Rock, it's actually a documentary about rock'n'roll history!
Sounds cool.
I watched an episode of Kenny vs. Spenny.
Watched a show about the famous american road Route 66! 8)
I just finished watching Fled (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116320/). It was a really nice trip back in time. 90's at their best.
Morpheus (http://ufodigest.com/news/0208/images/Morpheus.jpg) and Barney Rubble (http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Barney-Rubble.png) fighting bad guys together + that sweet old south side hip-hop, Royal C, Goodie Mob or Kizzy Rock, what else can you ask for? 8)
The Wolf of Wall Street, HER and Don Jon - all seriously awesome movies.
I've seen the first two and can vouch for both of them. Both are absolutely wonderful films.
Also, The Wolf of Wall Street holds the record for the most uses of "fuck" in any movie ever (besides, of course, the documentary entitled, "Fuck").
More than Scarface? That's amusing. I don't think as a movie it's oscar material, but it's a lot of fun.
Watched old Italian movie Ladri di Biciclette (Bicycle thieves).
Halloween II (2009). Its the Rob Zombie remake. I've been depressed ever since I watched it a few days ago. I doubt a horror movie could cause depression, so idk about that. It's a great movie anyway. *Spoiler alert* Michael Myers talks and is unmasked towards the end of the movie.
I Confess, Alfred Hitchcock's old movie.

Wow! I remember watching that when I was a kid.. Many, many, many years ago.(Wow! I feel old.)
Last night i've watched movie ''Police Story : Supercop'' , i've watched it few times before, but every time it's so interesting like watching first time... Maybe 'cuz Jackie Chan's movies are always amazing!! 8)

I agree!
I just watched Star Trek Into Darkness for the first time tonight. As a long-time Trekkie, I must say I'm really not impressed with what JJ Abrams has done with the franchise.
Nut Job, so sweet cartoon (comedy), about squirel which is forced to be on street but lucky for him there are some other animals who are ready to help!
: D
i watch sympathy for mr. vengeance
I was made to watch 'All You Need is Love" - which I was dreading but actually turned out a good movie. It's Danish, very highly rated, but while I didn't love it (lol) it was engaging enough to enjoy.
I'm currently watching awesome mini serie ''Pacific'' - from the creators of Band of Brothers, this time it is about marines that fought against Japanese in WW2!
True Detective
One Hour Photo. I'd been wanting to watch it for awhile and since Williams had recently passed, I figured now was as good of a time as ever. Really interesting movie. I want to watch more movies with Williams as a serious character because he could pull it off very well.
I still think the best RW film is What Dreams May Come. Well, that and Hook ;)
Hook is awesome movie, i watched it many times in the childhood, and definitely will watch it again!
last movie i watched is The Prince and The Pauper from 1937. with Errol Flynn.
Last Saturday, I watched Gojira (1954). It was the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, so it seemed timely. It's a much more interesting film than the campy ones that the franchise spawned after that.
I was binge watching The Walking Dead over the last 2 weeks.
Finally got to season 4.
I'm hoping Walking Dead Season 4 finally comes to netflix or something.
I have both Amazon Prime and Netflix, so I don't want to pay for more services. I can wait, but Season 4 has been done for a while now if I'm not mistaken. Maybe will be a Halloween treat.
Last night, I watched an episode of Star Trek. Somehow my girlfriend has gained interest in it, so we watch it together.
I find it so weird that she'd happily watch Star Trek, but she can't sit through a Twilight Zone, Sliders, X-files, or any other of 'my shows'. Actively dislikes them, it seems.
I'd think Twilight Zone would have much more universal appeal than the OG Star Trek.
I bingewatched downton abbey on monday. Such a bad move because now I have to wait til next year for more episodes! >:( Watched some of star trek next gen too last night :D
Tappybot I'm not big on most of "your shows" but Star trek is the best
Rocky IV.
Needed my dose of cheesy 80s action.
Ghostbusters! They're showing it in theaters again for its 30th anniversary. Great, great movie.
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
An 80s comedy I somehow have missed all the years.
I haven`t watched it yet, but a friend brought back from the US as a gift for me the most amazing DVD ever: Samurai Cop!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6OoZNdAQuA
Possibly the best awful movie ever made. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. ;D
New season of Survivor, first episode... it's kinda lame.
Haha you lurrve Survivor I see from your avatars :)
Yes! :)
Wow did anyone watched new episode (2nd) of season 29, it's so awesome! when that guy bled from the nose and then mom smashed lip of her daughter :o
The wife and I just watched Horns. *I* freakin' loved it. But it's really weird hearing an American accent coming out of Harry Potter. ;)
I tried to binge-watch Fringe. Was totally bearable for two seasons. Halfway through the third season, both the wife and I found it to be completely unwatchable. Forced our way to the end of season 3, then googled to see if it got better. Consensus generally is that it didn't, so deleted the rest.
I didn't but planning to watch new Asterix cartoon. It's coming soon to every cinema ! !

I just watched It's Such a Beautiful Day. If you have Netflix, you should definitely give it a watch. It's only an hour long and it's one of the saddest animated films I've ever seen (and by animated I mean stick figures), and dammit it's great.

I watched it too on opening day.
Pretty impressive in IMAX 3D.
First Blood.
Aka "the first Rambo". Great movie, one of those 80s action flicks that makes you think and feel as well as be entertained.
I discovered The Office and watched it from start to finish. It's a great show that I wish I'd found sooner. It's not as good after season 7, but still worth watching.
After that, I watched the British version. I'd say it's equally good, but should've had more episodes.
Movie-wise, I watched Godzilla 1954 again last night. It will always be my favorite because of how he is portrayed as a metaphor for the WWII Atomic bombings.
Daredevil Season 2 and caught up on season 2 of Better Call Saul.
@Protoman
I highly suggest reading the First Blood novel which the movie was based on.
ParaNorman
The pinnacle of stop motion mastery.
Saw three movies today (still on sick leave so not much to do)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Frankie & Johnny
The Panic in Needle Park
and now going to put on Taxi 2
I watched Mike and dave need wedding dates. It got bad ratings but I found it hilarious.
I finally saw Mad Max: Fury Road. I felt the beginning was wonky with all the flashbacks and monologue, but the rest of the film played out really well. I was furious that I didn't have the time to see this in theaters (stupid job).
Next I'm going to see The Force Awakens (another film I didn't get to see in theaters (stupid job)).
The Departed. Wasn't as good as I expected. Now I want to see the hong kong original instead
Hey, I have 2 free invites to the TorrentDay community, so if anyone's interested, throw me a PM 8)
Shin Godzilla
Fellini Satyricon. Bonkers film from 1969 based on one of the oldest known works of satire. Definitely worth a watch if you like weird stuff.

I finally got around to watching the first episode of Castlevania. Not disappointing. Gonna watch more later.
F.I.S.T
No, not a porno. A 1978 movie with Sylvester Stallone in which he plays Jimmy Hoffa but by another name. Good movie but Hoffa(1992) with Jack Nicholson was better.

We got to the theater on a Tues. evening thinking there was going to be no line, but boy were we wrong. :upsetroll: Also thought we were just going to miss some previews, but ended up missing the very beginning. :( Since when does the time on the marquee mean the actual time the movie starts?
Good movie, though. ;D
Midsommar. Dang, that sure gave me the willies more than any other movie I've seen in recent times. Liked it more than Hereditary, too.

Saw this with a group of friends and it is a pretty creepy flick! I really like the special effects and visualizations of the after effects of what the characters consume in the plot.
Never seen Hereditary and I'm usually not a fan of these slow-burn type thrillers.
I was forced to watch Jigsaw on Netflix by my friend.
It was more gross than scary

It was a spin-off. Hobbs & Shaw are characters from the F&F movies.
Watched Phantom Menace for the first time since about a decade and a half ago. I remember loving this as a kid and not understanding why people hated it so much, and now... not much has changed:
-beautiful setting(s)
-beautiful score by John Williams as always
-confusing plot ???
-Jar Jar is annoying :upsetroll:
-pod racing is awesome ;D
-static acting :blinky:
Anyone want to give their personal opinion? :bub: I have a lot to say honestly, but if no one cares...
Sure, I'll rant!
And I agree with you. When it came out I was happy that a new Star Wars movie was finally made, and although the style was a bit different from the older movies it still managed to capture that space opera feeling that I love so much. That is something that most of the newer movies fails at, feeling more like space-themed dumb action movies. The movie came out before every home was connected to the internet, so I was totally unaware of all the hate the movie got. I thought everyone liked it as much as me and my friends did. I didn't know Jar Jar Binks was disliked either (I thought he was funny). The return of the old actors for C-3PO and Palpatine pleased me as well.
It has some silly things as well though. Although I love the concept of pod racing, and it fits into Star Wars as much as F-Zero racing fits into the F-Zero universe, the actual racing scenes are not that great. And there are all these silly fighting scenes, for example when Anakin more or less accidentally destroys a space battleship. He is a good pilot powered by the force and is certainly capable of such a thing, but the scene just felt badly executed.
In the end, it's probably the best of all the new movies. The next two movies was mostly crap in comparison. Amidala is suddenly no longer royalty but was elected, and Anakin is mostly just a whiny and pretty dumb kid, not very convincing at all.
Also I'm no fan of any of the new versions of the old movies. Although I was excited the first time I heard Star Wars Trilogy coming out, I was disappointed with some of the changes. I simply don't like them butchering the movies that I grew up with. Reinserting the scene where Han Solo meets up with Jabba and steps on his tail was pretty neat, but I have no love for removing Solo's sen no sen initiative attack on Greedo among other things. They say that Lucas Arts are confiscating any old film rolls of the old movies that shows up and tries to erase their own history, so that the butchered DVD and Blu-ray versions will be the only ones left in existence. I'm rooting for those projects of scanning and cleaning up old 35 mm films, converting them into a high quality digital format. I hope movie pirates will spread them all over the world in order to preserve movie history. I couldn't care less for copyright stuff in this matter.
Yeah, I felt Phantom Menace was the last Star Warsy film; everything after that was missing something (didn't have that Star Wars magic anymore). A New Hope had the cool space scenes for the first time, Empire Strikes Back had the Battle of Hoth, Return of the Jedi had the speeder bikes, and Phantom Menace had the pod race. What did Attack of the Clones (terrible name for an A-list movie, btw) and Revenge of the Sith have? Trash compactor scene and elongated lightsaber battles that dragged on too long?
Now maybe I was an idiot (still am? ???), but at the time I didn't realize Ian McDiarmid was the same actor as Palpatine from Episode VI. So I thought he was a new actor playing younger Palpatine, while the original Palpatine came back to play Darth Sidious (who I thought was a different guy!). So this probably created an even more confusing plot for me. :-[
Here's the thing about the podracing: though the CGI in the film hasn't aged well, the pod racing still looks rather exceptional.
I think the part where Anakin goes into space, piloting a Naboo fighter was completely unnecessary: we already established his role/badassery in the pod race, and we could've had more time showing the fighter pilots in action. But at the same time having Anakin just sit doing nothing wouldn't have worked either.
Someone mentioned that the film could have effectively been cut shorter by starting when the Naboo starship lands on Tatooine. While I agree, I still felt those scenes prior to that were good in establishing certain characters/droid.
Funny you should mention the old films; the entire reason for me rewatching the films was because I bought the Star Wars Ultimate Soundtrack Collection (https://www.discogs.com/John-Williams-Star-Wars-The-Ultimate-Soundtrack-Collection/master/943390) and used this as an excuse to watch the fan-made Despecialized Editions. I decided to take the suggestion of watching the films in this order:
-New Hope
-Empire Strikes Again
-Phantom Menace (optional)
-Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Clones
-Revenge of the Sith
-Revenge of the Jedi (aka Empire Strikes Again... again)
By the way, the Phantom Menace soundtrack is the worst case I've ever seen with music and scenes being completely out of order! :o
I too have a lot to say about the prequels, first that they are a source of many, many great memes.
I like them all, 1-3. I think Revenge of the Sith is genuinely good, all I got is one bad scene(you're so... beautiful) and a couple odd deliveries like Anakins voice-breaking shouting before the Obi-Wan fight but all in all it's really good.
Both episode 1 and 2 are okay to pretty good. 2 is better over all than 1 but has the worst part out of all, the romance. I kid you not, I have to fast-forward through the scene where Padme tells Anakin they can't be together because she's a senator, all while wearing sexy black clothes in front of a fireplace. Anakin is pretty whiny throughout as well, and the overuse of CG stands out a lot more in 2 than 3 when they had improved it a lot.
Episode 1 has more practical effects but a bit of a dull plot overall, like how they say Naboo is occupied and people are in camps, but they never once show anyone suffering, so I don't feel much urgency to it. I do enjoy feisty Padme though, in both 1 and 2, it's a shame that she got relegated to a worrying wife in 3.
I saw 2 and 3 in the theatres and honestly felt hurt about the massive hate they all got online, even though it's been softening a bit lately. Nobody understood that Lucas wanted to make new movies for a new generation more than he wanted to make movies for the fans from 77-83. All the time I've just been here, liking the movies. Every time I watch them I come away with "yeah, they're pretty good", I don't turn to the dark side as it were.
But partly at least as a result of all that I reacted to all the new ones with very mild enthusiasm, like it doesn't quite feel like true Star Wars anymore, just very capable fan fiction, even though the original actors are in them(but not enough in my opinion, and Rey is pretty character-less if you ask me but that's another story for another day).
Quote from: Protoman on October 11, 2019, 02:58:18 pm2 is better over all than 1 but has the worst part out of all, the romance
Yeah. I was expecting Star
Wars not Star
Love Story. This used to be my favorite one, but now I'm remembering why it wasn't so great. The love part is so overbearing and encapsulates Anakin's motive for turning to the dark side: to save Padme from dying. And here I thought it would've been his upbringing as a slave in a universe where slavery was supposed to be abolished while the senate does nothing to help his mother while he's forced to obey the Jedi council who tells him his feelings for his mother is his weakness while Chancellor Palpatine is angry at the Jedi and the senate for not seeing things his way and getting anything done.
I always hated the way Anakin becomes a Sith Lord in Episode 3. It felt completely unnatural and a spur of the moment.
Now that you mention it, Episode I did rely on practical effects more, probably because CG was in its early stages, but I have to admit, I was weirded out by that Yoda! Glad to see CGI Yoda looking faithful. I heard the original puppet was poorly stored and damaged, which is a big mistake because George Lucas always made it clear he was planning prequels and Yoda would, no doubt, be part of that.
Quote from: Protoman on October 11, 2019, 02:58:18 pmRey is pretty character-less if you ask me but that's another story for another day).
I chalk that up to the writing, and that's very regrettable because I think Daisy Ridley is a very good actor and the best parts of the new trilogy are the Kylo Ren and Rey moments.
But I don't want to talk about the new trilogy, because I have nothing but contempt for the Last Jedi.
Rey being a blank slate might be more of a trick to make her a cipher for the audience, as opposed to her own hero. Their logic could have been the younger generation doesn't have the nostalgia for Star Wars like their parents, so they had to make it accessible. Sadly, things are crafted not so much to entertain and wonder, but to hook as much as possible.
The new trilogy is fine. Didn't need to exist but you know, money. I'm curious to see how it resolves (and whatever jumps they make to link it to the first six movies), but it's a watch and move on with my life thing. At my age, few new movies crack my rewatch list and 7 & 8 aren't that. If anything, I will watch for set pieces (like Luke's showdown in 8) and jump around and then turn it off.
I watched the first six movies with my son. I intentionally fell asleep during Phantom Menace because the cringe was unreal. How did Lucas get such bad performances out of Liam Neeson and Natalie Portman? It would have been interesting to see a different director's effect on Hayden Christensen. I am convinced that Empire works so well because of Irvin Kershner's directing than anything else. I do not think Episode 3 is bad like 1 & 2 but it's still not great. The overarching storyline just isn't cohesive enough.

But that's the problem; Star Wars had always been rewatchable classics. Same with Terminator. I know it's no one's right to demand that top level quality of your favorite franchise, but it's still sad to see this happen. So I won't see the final Episode in theaters (I saw Last Jedi in theaters... blech :( I wish I would've seen TFA on the big screen, that was okay).

So you admit that it was intentional? ;D You physically slept because of your own bias against this film? ;D Not because it bored you to sleep? ;)
Quote from: portnoyd on October 13, 2019, 06:28:15 amHow did Lucas get such bad performances out of Liam Neeson and Natalie Portman?
What is so wrong about Liam Neeson's acting? As for Natalie Portman, she is stale, but it seems intentional when she's Queen Amidala (probably so Keira Knightly/Sabé can replicate her easier), but outside of that there's no excuse.

Completely agree. It would've been interesting to see George continue to give the director chair to someone else every single Episode. This could've finally been Spielberg's chance to direct a Star Wars flick, but he didn't want to? :-\
The Irishman! Not as great as Goodfellas or Casino, very very good nonetheless. Great to see one last(?) great performance by my favorite, Al Pacino.
Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo
Riisa Naka is gorgeous! :-* She's like an Asian Jennette McCurdy.
She plays a minor role with a similar personality in "My Boss My Hero" which I also recommend.

Dat ending :o
Yeah it's a fun movie but I don't like the ending.
So I watched Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones for the first time since seeing it in theaters. This used to be my favorite of the 3 back in the day, and I think I know why:
The Good:
-less Jar Jar
-Natalie Portman's acting isn't so stale in this one as it was in Episode I
-Christopher Lee
-Jango Fett was cool... for like 5 minutes
-Easier-to-follow plot than the Phantom Menace
-Obi-wan looks badass now, kinda like Dash Rendar
The Bad:
-'Attack of the Clones' is a name fitting for a b-movie horror... or a parody: 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!'
-Hayden Christensen's acting (I didn't remember it being so bad before, but good God! Why does it sound like he doesn't care?)
-first half drags on too long
Before watching AotC for the first time, I was under the impression the clones would be the bad guys. I was surprised to find the Jedi accepting the clone army (even 16-year old me knew this was a bad idea!). Also, did the clone army come with the arsenal, or did they already have all those gunships? And if they did, who maintained them? Droids? Not really a rant, just curious about the logistics of all that. ;D
Let me get this out of the way: I dislike when films or TV shows replace actors (I know sometimes it's inevitable), but it's just so jarring. I had already gotten invested in Jake Lloyd being the younger incarnation of the future Force choker that we all come to know and love, and now they swap him with this emotional wreck? Now that Jake's old enough, can't Lucas do another revision? :P
Rewatching the bounty hunter chase scene, I was instantly put off by the cliché bounty-hunter-gets-killed-by-his-boss-mid-sentence scene (what's the name of this trope?). And did her being a changeling have anything to do with anything? Or was it just for show? Did I miss something?
I remember liking the revisit to Tatooine. But now I can pause it and really look at the homestead in detail! The actors for Owen and Beru were so fitting. Owen even looks like the kinda guy who'd end up being a douche later on in life! ;D
And now a big rant: Jango Fett: does George not like armored bounty hunters? It wasn't that his fight scene with Samuel L. was too short; it was that it was too stupid: so Mace drops his saber, Fett jumps for it--what?! Is he collecting war memorabilia or trophies of his kills or something? Why not just shoot it? Then he gets trampled. Oh well.
What else?
Even back in the day, I felt this was the first Star Wars movie that didn't feel 'Star Warsy' and I couldn't place my finger on it. And I still quite can't. It's just that something feels 'off' like everyone wasn't trying as hard.
Phantom Menace felt fun and interesting, even though it was hard to follow: it had memorable music and scenes: Duel of the Fates, the Gungan underwater city, pod-racing, the spliced climax of the Naboo space battle, Theed Royal Palace, and the lightsaber duel with Darth Maul (let's forget the droid invasion, shall we?)
Attack of the Clones had a Romeo Juliesque 'love' motif interspersed throughout the film, a bad CGI picnic scene (even the music here is ditzy and cringy), and a cool arena battle. Oh yeah, and the conveyer belt! I think that this was supposed to be this film's magnum opus, but I'm not sure this heavily CGI sequence really did as well as The Battle of Hoth or even the speeder bike chase on Endor when they came out.
The final duel with Dooku (I never knew him as Tyrannus until years after the films) was pretty one-sided despite being two... or three? versus one. But it made sense: Anakin was an idiot, Obi-wan is now fighting the master of his master and not just some Sith lackey who doesn't know force lightning (whom Obiwan got lucky when beating him), and Yoda had to babysit both these guys while simultaneously taking on Dooku while also being really really old.
Also, did Dooku know who Palpatine was? This still confounds me. ??? whatever, I don't care anymore.
I don't know if this is my favorite prequel anymore. :-\
I have nothing against Jar Jar, although he could never replace the robot duo as a comic relief character. And the plot is one of the thing I prefer in Phantom Menace. I had it on tape and watched it many times when it was still new, understanding more and more of the plot. The other two prequels are not as hard to understand but also not as interesting plotwise.
Obi-Wan was indeed cool in Clones though. It was fun just to see a young version of the old mentor in episode I, but he didn't really shine until episode II and III.
"Attack of the Clones" is really a weird title, and misleading since the clones aren't really the attacking bad guys yet. I suppose the movie had to have a title that refers to the "clone wars" that Luke mentions in the first movie, but it's kind of stupid as that doesn't really start yet.
I guess the clone army would probably include clones responsible for some of the non-combat work as well. Either way it would cost money to maintain, so it can't be totally self-sustained. The empire uses clones just as a complement to their army, and storm troopers comes both as clones and as recruits.
Yeah one of the biggest complaints I have about episode II and III is how unconvincing Anakin's transformation is. He is just a whiny little brat who don't like to do as he is told, and is just dumb enough to be fooled by uncle Palpatine. His slave background isn't showing at all, and he has no reason to join the dark side other than being an emotional moron.
Yoda is always badass in all movies however, and now you finally get to see him fight. He's probably the easiest character to use, since there is never a reason to change anything about him, and he works well as CG. As long as they have Frank Oz to play his voice.
Bill & Ted Face the Music
Not as good as the first two, but I still enjoyed this. Loved seeing Keanu Reaves and Alex Winter reprise their roles.
Night of the Living Dead
My God, all the Resident Evil references! :o
Which one Jedi? Tom Savini's or the original from '68 by Romero?
There was another one?! Blasphemy!
Edit Hey! Just looked up the '90s version. I wonder if Rebecca was based on Patricia Tallman? Does this one have more RE references? Maybe I'll see this one down the line.
Oh. You should definitely watch the '90s version if you haven't seen it!
You're gonna love them both versions 8)
Fist Of The North Star anime.
I finally got around to seeing Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (also have only seen it once in theaters), and here's my consensus:
The Good:
• even less Jar Jar
• awesome action sequences
• Nute Gunray gets killed (seriously, how is he not dead already?!)
The Bad:
• less Christopher Lee :(
• what the hell happened to Padme's character?!
• Obi Wan's hair/beard make him look like Al Borland
• the plot feels forced
• Hayden Christensen's acting still sucks
For some reason, I was less thrilled going into this than I was with the previous two Star Wars (both when watching it in theaters and now, rewatching them on DVD), and I now know why: read everything I said about Episode II. It was the first Star Wars movie I saw that didn't feel Star Warsy. Now the magic is gone. My expectations have shifted. It feels like just another action movie.
Now let's start from the top: War!
Who the hell wrote this? I always expected English major expertise when seeing the intro text crawl. What is this? Sparta?!
And who the hell is Grievous? Was that Count Dooku's Sith name? (I seriously couldn't remember back in 2002.) I didn't watch Clone Wars. I didn't know that was a prerequisite.
I maybe alone in this, but the entire CGI space fight at the beginning could've just been cut and we could've started with Obi Wan and Anakin entering the hostage chamber.
I've said this once, and I will say it again: only Darth Maul (and maybe the Padawans) made it cool doing flips. With Count Dooku it looks lame. He should've just floated down like Darth Vader does when falling.
I've come to hate the way General Grievous (and most villains) ham up their speech/mannerisms. And why is this guy always running? He arrives by ship on Utapau which takes God knows how long, and he immediately runs to talk to Darth Sidious. He saved, what? One minute?
But I have to admit, that multiple-wielding lightsabers thing was cool. Too bad he didn't do anything with it.
I found Palpatine's approach at gaining Anakin's trust pretty stupid: "Hey kid, wanna know about the dark side?" And Mace Windu's approach even stupider: "Stay here, kid. Daddy will take care of this without the need of Yoda."
And thus, this little scuffle leaves Sidious scarred for the rest of his long dictatorship. Or was he always like this? I don't care.
Rise Lord Vader. Where the hell did this name come from? What does it mean? Invader? Can we get a little background?
And suddenly Anakin is loyal to the Sith forever until Episode VI? Couldn't we have shortened some of the long-drawn out action sequences and focused on character development? Anakin's transformation was too sudden and not believable. Padme is reduced to a fragile damsel who needs saving and doesn't question anything when Anakin tells her the bad news of the Jedi and he must go kill some separatist douchebags (which some of them are honestly).
And then Palpatine enacts order 69 and kills my favorite Jedi, Ki-Adi-Mundi, who seemed more nobler than Yoda himself. Quick rant here: the Jedi suck. Their powers are obscured by the Sith, they can't get their boy, Anakin to trust them. They even talk shit behind his back: "Maybe the prophecy was bullshit!" <-- Mace Windu's exact lines verbatim. They indoctrinate children when they're too young to think for themselves. (https://funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/2841113/Pedoyoda/)
If you ask me, the entire Mufasa Mustafar fight takes too long and ends too quickly. The Yoda and Sidious fight was made stupid because Sidious flips like a stupid idiot and they both use lightsabers. WHY DOES EVERYONE NEED TO USE LIGHTSABERS?
TLDR: I didn't like this movie like everyone else. I couldn't relate to the characters, and the plot felt like it was trying to connect a copper pipe to a USB port.
Heh, Vader is used in several Space Invader clones, like TV Vader and Battle Vader.
Anyway you pretty much sums up my own thoughts about the movie. Forced plot, too much insignificant action scenes (much like Jackson's Lord of the Rings films) and un unconvincing transformation to a Darth. It's more like a dumb action movie with a space theme, rather than a classic space opera.
The old movies hinted that Dart Vader had a dark and mysterious past which led him to be seduced by the dark side and made him to what he is today. Now when we finally get to see this dark past it appears that he was just a whiny little boy that had a little rough upbringing (but not really any different from many other characters, like Han Solo). So he really just had a very weak resolve? Really? That's not what it looked like initially in Epidosde I, and that's not it with Vader later either.
I can buy that Palpatine's rhetoric is simple because the persuasion is probably more about feelings than about logic, but he is still really just a whiny kid, not even convincingly mentally ill or anything.
BTW the scanning and cleaning of the last of the three old 35 mm films is almost done (project 4K77, 4K80 and 4K83). Only 4K80 (episode 5) is left. I for one am gonna watch these upscaled originals (with no DNR) sometime when they are done. It was a very long time ago I even saw the pre-Trilogy versions at all, and these are the original theater versions without Lucas Arts' filtering them for "modern" eyes.
Random useless trivia: In Swedish Star Wars is translated to "Stjärnornas Krig" which means "The War of the Stars" (a nod to The War of the Worlds). Also those black and white dots on a CRT TV when no channel is tuned in (TV static noise) is jokingly called "Myrornas Krig" which means "The War of the Ants". ;D
I've always found it odd that so many people think Anakin turns at the drop of a hat. Why don't they include him as a kid being fearful, then losing his mom leading to his fear of losing Padme which he wants to become powerful to stop, Palpatine acts as his other mentor only he gives him much more of what he wants to hear over the jedi who mostly warn and scold him. He didn't want to cut Windus hand off but at that point he had to choose Palpatine over Windu, then it was too late to turn back so he went all in. I think it's fine?
Going from being overprotective of Padme to killing a bunch of innocent children is a pretty big turn.
At least when he killed the Tuskens it was out of hate in the spur of the moment for what happened to his mother.
With the younglings, it was because Darth Mentor told him to. All we see from Anakin is distrust in the higher ranks.
I just can't get immersed in this character. I could understand Anakin going out and killing the separatists, because it would end the war once and for all.
They should have just had the kids killed off some other way: clone troopers? Darth Sidious himself? The writers even had to nerf Padme so Anakin could go to Mustafar. The Padme in Episodes I & II would have questioned his actions at that point. And perhaps not be so surprised that her fellow Nabooian who dismantled a Republic isn't such a good guy after all when Obi Wan tells her.
I haven't rewatched Ep. 3 since I saw it at a midnight screening opening night. At the time, I really didn't like it. My biggest gripe with the prequel trilogy was (and still is) that there just wasn't enough actual space combat in STAR Wars. The Battle over Coruscant started quite nicely, but we quickly lost that to the Jedi rescue mission. I look at ANH and ROTJ as doing it right, where there were cuts to the bigger battle interspersed with the close-ups and human moments.
In the years since, as The Clone Wars has come out and they've filled in a lot of detail about Anakin's fall, I figure I'll appreciate it a lot more when I eventually get around to a rewatch. It's just too bad the Clone Wars series came AFTER the films. As an independent trilogy, it still gets a big "meh" from me.
Also, The Phantom Menace is my favorite of the three. :P
Barely watch any movies or shows, but there's one in particular that currently has me hooked.
Oddtaxi is a weird anime; with anthropomorphic animals, mystery, charming scenes, crime solving, and amazing dialogue, it manages to be one of the most entertaining shows I've ever watched. Some of you might cherish anime in general a whole lot more than I, so perhaps you have more interesting things to say about it than me, but if you haven't watched it, please do! You won't regret it. ;)
Just started the Guyver series again. Up to the third volume.
Back to the future 2&3
The end of Evangelion
It was amazing!
Demon City Shinjuku is the last show I've seen. I've just acquired Detonator Orgun and it'll be my next.
Okay, I know I've only ranted about the prequel trilogy, but I just finished Return of the Jedi and I feel like this deserves a rant as well. I always felt that everyone's rating of this was lesser than New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, but I never read any in depth analysis about it, and I'd like to get my opinion out before delving into everyone else's:
The Good:
-the Endor forest setting (in contrast to ANH Tattoine & ESB Hoth)
-Luke's conflict in trying to convert his father back
-Ian McDiarmid's excellent performance
-Ewoks are cute :D
The Bad:
-Jabba's palace scene has cheap-looking aliens
-new Death Star? *yawn*
-every Imperial officer has the same rank? ???
-cute Ewoks killing Stormtroopers :-\
The Odd:
-first time 'TIE Fighters' are mentioned in name
-Ewoks are not mentioned in name
-'Wicket' is only mentioned in the credits
-female rebel pilot is given a male dubbed voice
-random objects in space
The title: Return of the Jedi... okay, I did read someone's opinion of this. They said that it has a possible double meaning: the Jedi have returned as an organization or Darth Vader returns from the dark side back as a Jedi. I never realized this. :o
I could make an entire essay from the opening credits to the sail barge rescue, but I'll condense it: Luke shows his recklessness. He chooses to be diplomatic, but in doing so, puts others in danger. It's a bit of a character flaw, but whatevs. I'm more interested in what's fundamentally wrong about the Jabba scenes from a production standpoint:
How the hell did Lando get in there? Did Boba Fett not see him? Was he there only for a few days? Who was the guard he replaced?
The aliens in the Max Rebo band segment looked really cheap; especially that blue elephant thing (I don't know his name), Snootles looked okay, and Salacious B. Crumb was a muppet. I think I saw the special edition scene with Jedi Rocks for the first time yesterday and I wasn't impressed, but that's an entirely different post/essay. The thing is... this is 6 years AFTER A New Hope and George still can't manage to make something like this look impressive? I know he was trying to keep the budget low, but couldn't he have just hired Rick Baker to make original monsters this time?
Han Solo wanting to die and get it over with... ;D I love how meta this is.
Boba Fett getting owned by a blind Han Solo... :( So what happened to all the badassery from ESB? Are you telling me the entire Empire is going to be nerfed as well? More on that later...
I like how Luke insists that there is still good in Anakin even though Obi Wan disagrees. In the prequels I felt everyone was too quick to dismiss Anakin and here, too! ;D
Is it just me, or does Leia seem downgraded from a leader to simple female protagonist? During the briefing, she's just sitting there with the A-team (Lando, Han, Chewie, while Luke shows up), she gets "captured" on Endor, and doesn't have any great victory speech/awards to hand out in a ceremony at the end of the film--who's in charge again? Edit: Mon Mothma? Got it.
After the sail barge, Harrison Ford's acting is so unenthusiastic. It's almost like he didn't want to be here and would rather be doing Temple of Doom or something.
The first time I watched this as a 10-year old, it was the first Star Wars I actually got bored at, some time at the speeder bikes. I don't know why. This scene wasn't impressive to me and still isn't. The only part that looked cool was the first person view of speeding shots between the trees.
Luke tells Leia she's his sister in a somewhat creepy way. I mean, look at the way he says it in this scene--it's so weird! And I was so disappointed in her response: "Somehow, I know." Yeah, sure you did. A few seconds ago, you were appalled that Vader was Luke's father--wait, ??? does this mean when he told her, she was appalled that Vader was HER father? Also, she had memories of her mother, but Luke doesn't. Either this was retconned by the prequels or she has very unusual force memories or something.
I liked the Ewoks, but was there a way we could have them AND wookies? Or more competent fighters? How they take out Stormtroopers with rocks and slings is just humiliating. My favorite parts were 1) when they were trying to stop an ATST by roping one of its legs and failing, and 2) when two Ewoks and Chewy landed on top of an ATST, lured an Imperial officer out, and Chewy threw him off.
The convo between Luke and Vader was really well done. Except what was Luke expecting Anakin to do when he left with him? Hide? Vader said something along the lines of "the dark side is too powerful" that he "must obey my master." which to me made him seem weak. The "It's too late for me" line really hit hard.
How the hell did the ambush on the rebel fleet even happen? Where did all those imperial ships come from? Was that ever explained? The space was completely empty save for Death Star 2.0 beta and some Star Destroyers. Were they cloaked? Did they hyperspace into their faces?
I was happy to see Admiral (now Captain?) Piett return, albeit a small role now.
Is there somewhere I can read about the whole Imperial wardrobe malfunction that reduced everyone to the rank of Captain? I just find this blunder funny is all. I mean, if George can go back and CGI in aliens why not fix the rank insignia?
Death Star blows up, Empire = defeated. Wait, what? What about the rest of the fleet? What about the capital? What about the Empire's presence in the far reaches of the galaxy? I guess the Emperor was micro-mind-controlling every imperial employee down to the toilet scrubber.
I'd like to think the imperial officers that were captured on Endor were either tried for crimes or converted to Rebels depending on rank, but since we never see them again, I assumed the Ewoks ate 'em.
It's a feel good ending, but it works. I don't think I would have liked Gary Kurtz's dark direction either. I feel if Kurtz and Lucas could have compromised, we'd have had a far better conclusion to the trilogy than we'd ever gotten.
This film concludes the Star Wars saga for me--the sequel trilogy is a Disney byproduct, and I feel sorry that John Williams' effort and talent were wasted on it.
Yeah Return of the Jedi seems less popular of the 3 first movies. This is the movie that I have seen the most (because we had it recorded on tape for a long time, a version that were broadcasted on TV before Trilogy existed) and I think it's arguably the best movie of the 3. There is not much Obi-Wan nor Yoda here, but it has so many other good things like Jabba the Hut (I was quite scared of him and his henchmen as a kid), a fight with a Rancor, Endor and the ewoks of course (Wicket is great), the robot duo being as good as ever, plenty of good starship and lightsaber fights, "Det luktar flingor här", Ian McDiarmid's acting indeed and Luke's training finally bearing fruit turning him badass. The final battle between Luke, Vader and the emperor is also fantastic. It's not just as a contest of swordsmanship or wits anymore but also a battle of heart.
I've always preferred this new Death Star over the earlier one from A New Hope. Here they actually has to fly into a narrow duct to reach the core instead of simply sending a space torpedo into a vent and suddenly the whole base is destroyed. Though they did explain that this was extremely difficult to do, and this time it wasn't even done by someone force-sensitive, so it might not actually had been harder once the shields were down.
I really don't like the new CG from Star Wars Trilogy and later versions of the film. The muppets and blue elephant (although who looks very much like a cheap stuffed toy) are not part of that and they are fine in my book, some of the dolls (like Yoda) are even played by muppet/Sesame Street puppeteers. But in Trilogy they added som new CG singers or something that looks like they comes from a Pixar CG movie. Thumbs down to that.
I whole-heartily agree that Boba Fett doesn't get as much of a big role as he should have had. He is basically just the lone elite bodyguard of a maffia-boss so I don't find it unconvincing that he gets beaten by the best generals among the rebels, but I would really have loved to see more of him in action. He is a pretty cool boss in Star Wars games like Shadows of the Empire for the Nintendo 64 where you have to fight him using a jetpack.
In the film he does indeed gets defeated by Solo's dumb luck when turning around, they could have made him a little more capable there.
Well Obi-Wan had a long time to make up his mind about Vader by now, so he is not really quick to judge. He was the one that bought in Anakin against Yoda's recommendations and witnessed him turning to the dark side. He also says that he is more machine than human now as a reason for him to be beyond any help (no hinting of a whiny brat killing children on a whim when he were still human).
In Episode I they mainly seemed to think Anakin were too old to be trained. A Jedi-Knight is a very powerful warrior so it's important that they can control their temper and feelings (which Anakin never mastered). Of course, Luke were much older when he were trained but they didn't have much choice at that time.
Leia's position as a princess does indeed seem to matter less in this movie,
or at least you don't see her doing any princessy stuff. She also lost her role as a love interest for Luke. I was a bit disappointed as a kid as I thought Luke was the coolest character and the hero who I always rooted for, and would have preferred a Luka-Leia-shipping ending, but it did put an interesting twist on the Luke-Solo rivalry without anyone of the three having to become a looser.
Her original princess role comes from the time when Star Wars was still supposed to be a space-opera remake of Akira Kurosawa's Kakushi Toride no San Akunin (which I also highly recommend especially if you like Star Wars) where two scoundrel peasants (Luke and Solo) are reluctantly helping a samurai "princess" (Leia) over a border after her home prefecture is invaded by a neighboring samurai clan.
But it's downplayed to a point that she no longer seems to be considered much of a princess after the first movie. It's not as bad as in Episode II when Padme straight out says that she is just a senator on a limited term of office rather than being real royalty, but it's a bit similar indeed.
I don't agree that the Speeder Bike scene was anything but exciting. It's one of the scenes I remembered the most as a kid.
I like how the ewoks are able to be both cute and cuddly and fierce warriors. They use primitive weapons but are able to fight storm troopers using cunning guerilla tactics. The rebels walked into a trap here so they would probably not have won if it weren't for their newfound allies in the ewoks, I don't find that weird at all.
AT-ST and AT-AT are powerful imperial weapons, but their weakness has always been their legs. In Episode IV the rebels defeats AT-ATs by ensnaring their legs with the tow-cables equipped on the Snowspeeders, and here the ewoks uses wines or logs to trip up the AT-STs. I do find it a bit weird that they are so easy to defeat by tripping.
Regarding the ambush, the emperor foresees the rebels' plan from the beginning. He orders to send his fleet to the "far side of Endor" where it will stay until it's called for, so it was easy to do a pincer attack once the rebels came close to the Death Star 2.0 beta (which turns out being fully operational) where probably the rest of the fleet stayed hidden.
After Luke surrenders to the empire (thinking it might help the rebels from staying undetected) the emperor explains to him (which doubles as a plan to increase Luke's hatred so he can be taken to the dark side) that the rebels where merely walking straight into his trap, and that he had leaked the location of the shield generator to the rebels himself. He had also prepared a legion of his best troops on Endor to ambush them there too, so that the shield generator wouldn't be endangered. Though he clearly underestimated the rebels and the ewoks (Luke points out that his overconfidence is his weakness).
The empire of course isn't defeated after the final battle, but with their main fleet and death star destroyed and especially their loss of two Sith leaders makes this easily the biggest victory the rebels has won so far. The empire still holds a lot of power and continues resist the rebels after this film, there are a lot of material that depicts these battles other than the new movies, including games and comic books.
BTW the 35 mm film cleaning projects 4K77, 4K83 and now finally 4K80 were done in February this year so we now finally have complete high quality digital versions of the untouched classic versions of the movie that Lucas Arts tried to erase from history.
Wow, this is probably the Episode we differ the most in opinion.
The Jabba the Hutt atmosphere was great, as well as Jabba himself. I read some people would've preferred a human Jabba, but I'd beg to differ. Wasn't he based on Marlo Brando anyway? :P
In fact, the Jabba part was so great I think it outdid the Empire as a threat. I felt like Empire Strikes Back was the only Star Wars where they were scary. In New Hope, only Vader felt like the only imposing threat.
Quotelightsaber fights
You mean lightsaber
fight (singular)? The battle barge was a monstrosity. There should have been more collateral damage than just Luke's fake hand. Han Solo should have gotten burnt by Boba Fett's jetpack. Lando should have fallen into the Sarlac. ;D
I have an issue with Luke's training (not only here, but in Empire Strikes back as well): when and with whom did he do his training with in between films? Obi Wan died in Star Wars and barely taught Luke, so when did he learn how to force grab his objects (in the Wampa's Lair)? If Luke had been training with Yoda after Empire Strikes Back, he would've asked him about his father then, not now when Yoda was dying. He also asked Obi Wan why he didn't tell him, indicating he hasn't seen Obi Wan since.
I shouldn't be too harsh on Obi Wan abandoning Anakin. He was the only one who really had his back when the rest of the Jedi were calling the prophecy "bullshit." <-- especially Mace. I think he had a personal vendetta against him. He always responded to his fire with more fire. :fire: "Take a seat, mother****er!" (I think that's what he said ???)
Anyway, somehow
Kakushi Toride no San Akunin escaped me. I've added it to my movie list.
I don't know why the Speeder Bike scene doesn't do it for me. Maybe the Battle of Hoth scene was so great, that it didn't match it for me.
The Ewoks, I felt, were utilized improperly. They're small. They're weaker. But they're cunning and they know the land. It would've been nice to see stormtroopers walking into traps just like the rebel team did. Or some snake pits (or whatever they had) hidden by forest debris. They were cute, but they should've been scary like the Vietcong. Apparently they had swamps. Could you imagine imperial walkers / troops falling into these and getting mauled?
The fleet ambush makes sense I guess. It just would've been cooler to see the imperial ships emerge (from Star Destroyers? From the Death Star? Hyperspace in? Were cloaking devices a thing?) instead of suddenly appearing in a cut.
As for the emperor leaking the shield generator location: this entire film is essentially rehashing elements from
New Hope before
The Force Awakens did:• the Death Star Plans getting into the hands of the Rebels = shield generator leak (also letting the Millennium Falcon escape)
• C3PO and R2 walking alone on Tattooine
• Jabba Hutt scene = Mos Eisley cantina
•
Sarlacc = Mynok cave (no, wait, that was Empire Strikes Back :-[ )
• Death Star
• Emperor Palpatine = Grand Moff Tarkin (but better!)
• Rebel Fleet space climax
• Death Star 'splodes
I felt like John William knew this, so he rehashed lots of cues from New Hope, specifically the TIE Fighter Attack theme that constantly plays that main Star Wars heroic cue that drives me nuts! >:(
Of course, the Empire isn't defeated at the end yet. And apparently the special edition has additional scenes, including Coruscant, which I don't think I've seen yet. I'm not sure if this makes the ending better or wonkier? :-\

Yeah well this episode has a special place in my heart, and it's the one I've seen the most of all. I only had this one taped for many years as a kid.

Yeah I agree that he should keep his gross slimeball appearance. He is like a personification of the greed of an evil mafia boss.
There is this deleted scene in A New Hope where Jabba is a humanoid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw1gkNd6Z_8) before they came up with Jabba's final appearance. The actor was replaced by a CG hutt in new versions that included the scene. Solo saying "Jabba, you are a wonderful human being" perhaps wasn't Solo being ironic after all, at least not all of it.

Yeah that's true. In fact, the empire failed all their plans so badly that the rebels would have won even if Luke had failed. Destroying the Deathstar would probably kill both Vader and the emperor anyway (but Luke baiting Vader there was necessary or he would probably jump into a tie-fighter and intervene). Unless Papa Palpatine would have a bad feeling about it and get out in the last moment, in an ufo while laughing maniacally Dr. Wily-style or something.

Well there is only one lightsaber duel but Luke uses his lightsaber some in other fights too, and he feels much more at home with it than in previous films. The duel with Vader is the best so far, much better and with more spirit than the one in A New Hope where it looks like Vader and Obi-Wan are trying out a new choreography for the first time.
Quote from: Jedi Master Baiter on July 10, 2022, 07:12:22 pmI have an issue with Luke's training (not only here, but in Empire Strikes back as well): when and with whom did he do his training with in between films?

A movie is very limited how many scenes they can show so boring everyday scenes like his daily training are shown very little of. I think he was training under both Obi-Wan and Yoda for quite some time, and Obi-Wan's spirit continued to guide him after his death. Once taught the basics, he can probably train alone. He could learn the force techniques at any time during his training, and he does train that further at Yoda's by pulling up his ship.
But even if we disregard the fact that Luke didn't ask about his father despite training with Yoda everyday, it still doesn't really add up. Because if you assume jedi-knight training is about as long as a normal knight's training, which means training full-time since early childhood physically, mentally and spiritually, Luke did become a powerful jedi comparable to Vader (who did get proper jedi training since early childhood) way too quick considering how little everyone aged.
Now the Skywalker family are exceptionally talented in the force, so him progressing faster than normal could maybe be explained, but that applies to Vader as well.
But then again, in the end it was his good heart that made him win rather than his fighting techniques and his raw force powers. He did beat Vader at the lightsaber at one point, but only after Vader got several opportunities to kill Luke but couldn't because of his internal struggle.

Well the speederbike scene is a pretty small racing scene compared to the other ones in the series, and certainly not comparable to Battle of Hoth. But still they are neat bikes at high speed in a lush forest, and the excitement that they need to eliminate all scouttroopers before they can sound the alarm.

Sure I can imagine them tricking a stoormtrooper into a swamp, but on the other hand they are the ones attacking the imperial base. Surely the imperial forces knows the terrain around their own base.

I see, yeah there were no scene where they appeared. I assume they stayed out of sight (however you do that in space) and speeded in once the rebels came closer to the Deathstar. Star Destroyers were there if I'm not mistaken, and smaller ships like Tie-fighters/-bombers emerges out of them since they are not suitable for longer space travels.
I suppose cloaking is also possible. They did mention that they jammed the rebels' sensors which probably helped in the sneak attack ("how can they be jamming us if they don't know... ...that we are coming?").
But yeah ideally they would have showed a scene where a space armada would appear out of nowhere. This is one of those scenes that goes past really fast and it's quite hard to follow the story unless you've seen the movie a zillion times. The new movies also does this a lot.

Really? I don't think I've seen that one. I've seen the original of course, Trilogy and then a newer version where Anakin's old-man-spirit takes the form of a whiny brat, but I don't remember any additional scenes.
