movies the good the bad the ugly
 

hmmmmm someone suggested i maybe we should hae a thread about movies so i decided to follow his advice. for those that don't know i am addicted to movies i love almost all movie types so lets see for a a good movie i will have to go with The Losers i mean hell it has it all great story lots of things going boom fantasic cast and things going boom. i really enjoyed it mostly because of the story and the comics, it is the story of 5 CIA operatives who get screwed and go looking for the man who burned them.

the bad hmmmmm hate to say it but the new nightmare on elm street is just a bad remake. Now this is compared to the original films. Now days someone like Freddy does not even shiver my pinky. hell i am more scared of the cops than him. that being said Jackie-Earle Haley did the best he could with a shit remake.



The ugly AVATAR i love sci fi movies and this would have been a great one however i have been told read entirely to much into almost everything. Had they had not beaten you over the head with that tree hugging message that we mainly americans just move in and take over everything and ignore peoples rights and ideals for our own profit it would have been alot better. wait ok soe we do do that but still they were over the top with it. also it was just way over rated and yes i saw it in theaters and got it from other sources.



now if ya want to see something that is both slighly scary and kick ass violence check out legion really good story effects and i will never ever fuck with an old lady in a dinner. Ya never know who is possed hope this helps y'all save some cash in these tuff times and hell ya can always bootleg almost all of these movies. i am sure most of us know how.



hope you found this useful and informative. let me know. :line:

:thanks: Good to have a place to give our impressions of movie we've seen. Now all I have to do is go see a new movie. :eek:

I absolutely loved Avatar....one of the best newer movies i've seen. It definately deserved all the accolades given to it!!

Twilight series of course is another favorite..loved the 1st 2, dying to see the 3rd instalment, and how they do it compared to the books.

Fang, I hate to disagree with such a lovely vampire freak, but I find the Twilight saga a little to 90210. If I'm going to go with dramatic vampires I'll stick with Interview With a Vampire.

As for new movies that hit theater recently, I loved Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp. In fact, I already have it pre-ordered through Amazon.com.

ok i know this is not a movie but for the superhero lover in all of us i must recomend a british show called NO HEROICS it is one of the funniest things i have ever watched you can find clips on youtube or if you want all of season one contact me privately and i will tell you how to get it. i rolled laffing my ass off and trust me thats alot of ass

I finally got to finish No Heroics. It took forever to get through all six episodes I kept getting phone calls and there was NO WAY i was going to miss any of it so there was a lot of pausing. I love it. It's great, I can't promise I understood ALL of the dialect but its still outstanding!

Yeah the last time I went to a movie was with LordSnow.... If I watch movies I'm just as happy to stay at home and watch it in the bedroom so we can pause it and fuck or atleast I won't get kicked out for giving a blowjob in the theater and god knows the seats are uncomfortable to bend over in and theres no way I'm kneeling on that floor! wow haven't done that in years..... that used to be a rush...... I'm getting old.

I have two tickets available for the movies. :wave: .......... How about taking four? ..... Take all of them! .... Anybody?? :blink:

I'm want to watch movies in Bama's bedroom. :tongue:

No you don't PF, her bed gets hard as a rock in winter time.

Not a new movie by any stretch of the imagination but one of my very favorites is "Fiddler on the Roof!" Love that show and when it's on TV I tend to watch it, and, when it's not, I periodically watch the DVD. Good story; good music; and good acting. :thumbs: :boink:

That's OK. She makes me hard as a rock all year long. :boink:

ok well the problem ya see is bama's bed is only a queen size and well with her and me you know being fat and all and my giant ego there is no room for anyone else i mean ya can sit on the floor or something otherwise i am not sure where ya can watch the movies.

"The Bridge over the River Kwai" is a film I recommend to everyone.

if we are gonna go with older movies i would suggest the BOONDOCK SAINTS i almost wanted to be catholic after that movie. also silverado as it is my fathers favorite movie ever. hmmmmm and for shits and giggles bridget the midget a short storie is was just plain funny.



and for tv shows i love the VENTURE BROTHERS all hail the mighty MONARCH.
and the BoonDocks have been told its racist and wrong however the entire cast is black as well as everyone who works on the show well cept 2 people i have never seen anything in that show that makes me upset so check it out

I love the Boondock Saints as well, but for older favorites I'd have to go with Princess Bride.

oh and kick ass is well kick ass kinda creepy watching a 13 year all killing bad guys while in the background there is a metal version of the banana splits theam song playing in the back ground. but lets face facts we all wanted to be a superhero at somepoint in our lives. hmmmmm maybe a new idea for a thread what superpower would you like to have / what hero /villian would you be. anyhow the movie is about an 18 year old comic geek who decides to get a costume and become a hero. check it out or download it. :thumbs:

Is anyone willing to admit enjoying "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"?

yeah i liked it and i hate westerns

I like Blazing Saddles, Young Guns 1 & 2, and Tombstone. I prefer the medieval movies if we're talking a bit more in the way of set in the past type stuff. First Knight, A Knights Tale, Dragon Heart.....that kind of thing.

That movie moved to 'classic' and long time ago, open a completely new category for Spaghetti Westerns and was a MAJOR stepping stone for what became a great actor and director. Great movie! :thumbs:

"I like a nice MLT....."

:huh: MLT?

mutton lettuce and tomato when the mutton is nice and crispy


damn never seen the princess bride i worry for my country somedays rofl :thumbs:


wait a second those are also my initials damn you you harpy bad kyttn

Speaking of movies, my wife and I went to see the new Robin Hood. Wasn't just a remake of the old Robin Hood movies, but took an interesting point of view. Well worth seeing although the "violence" make be a bit much for very young children ... kind of a slightly milder version of Gladiator or The Patriot kind of violence.

I'd recommend it. :thumbs:

How about "To Kill A Mockingbird"?

I liked the book better. You want court room drama I'd go with A Few Good Men.

Fair enough, but I think Gregory Peck gave a riveting performance of a father trying to provide an atmosphere free from hatred and prejudice for his children in the Deep South in the 1930s.

old movies welp would have to go with a few lets see first the birds and psycho. StarWars an instant classic, Transformers the cartoon nothing funnier than being in the theater when it came out and watching parents freak when some of the autobots dies and thier kids burst out laffing and crying. Highlander and for just the shear scale for a mini-series Shogun.

"The Hustler" was a very good move.

oh yeah also the color of money and lets not forget the movie that gave us the phrase Greed is Good wallstreet, ok and the sting was great also

I will grant you that the movie was well done, however, in most my cases my opinions favor the books as opposed to the movies. Mostly because of time constraints and artistic liberties they don't get it quite right; which when you're an avid reader such as myself and have one of those weird minds where you remember stuff you've read for years it can be annoying.

Old movies! Ckassic? Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe, The Birds & Psycho, but I have shoes older than most of the rest. :wobbly:

wow pf buy some new shoes all those movies are over 20 years old

Too true! It is very difficult to create a motion picture as good as your imagination. LOTR is a vivid example.

People who go to movies in a conscious ploy to evade reading the book are only getting someone's interpretation of that book.

2001/2010 are shining examples of superior movies, where the author played a part in the movie.

... and Contact was an example of the movie NOT working. :eek:

See!



















:rofl:

I think that the LOTR movies were very well done. A really good example of they got really close but weren't quite right is a movie I actually got to see last night. Where the Red Fern Grows. I have had the same copy of that book for (like PF's shoes) 20 years. Have read it multiple times. In fact if there is one book in my collection I know better than any other it's that one. They did a fine job on the movie, the overall points of the book were gotten to and well delivered, however they messed up a few scenes from the book, cut some others, changed a few lines here and there. Overall a good movie, but the book is much better.

I would like to say that if you have younger children I would not let them watch the movie unless you think they can handle the idea of death. They included the scene where a young boy, Rubin Pritchard, dies and of course the last two chapters of the book where Bill Coleman and his two dogs fight a mountain lion ultimately killing one dog and the other dies of loss of will to live. At least with the book, you skip these parts.

Yes, the LOTR films were well done, but they failed to capture much of what Professor Tolkien wrote.

Following up on your assessment of “A Few Good Men”, as an excellent Courtroom Drama, I recommend “12 Angry Men”.
