Film Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss films...

Law Abiding Citizen 
I agree with Daz.

Traingle

Saw this film Triangle. Awesome film, very clever plot and screenplay. Good ending.
Dont want to spoil it but it's very very good.
IMO. 
Hmm 
 
that train looks straight out of Quake 2 / Stroggos 
Slav'sya, Otechestvo Nashe Svobodnoye! 
that is the train vondur takes to work each morning. 
Law Abiding Citizen 
You start off sympathizing with the main character, but by the end you despise him =)

i think this is pretty much the point. it's how i interpreted the main theme anyhow; really liked how the moral shift between the two sides was spread across the whole film - the hero becoming the villain and vice versa. great movie

i saw freddie got fingered earlier. i'm sad that i will never get those ~2 hours back :( 
It's Not So Bad. 
I remember having a lot of fun watching it. Might have been the influence of the shrooms and coke though.

3D is taking over the world, even shot for 2d stuff will now use it. Keep those glasses. 
 
Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones Review by that slow talking guy. It is actually pretty good (except for the very ameteurish humour in the "outside" sequences of course, that is just silly).

Triangular Trains Omg 
best invention since triangular lights 
Teal And Orange... 
doom3 did this a lot too, i remember. 
Kick Ass 
Can't see anyone mentioning this??

Pretty well titled IMO. 2/3 Tarantino, 1/3 high school teenage angst film with more swearing and better dialogue. Didn't really know what to expect nor how it could actually be a half decent film, but it was great fun, just well done and very entertaining. Perfect example of a Daily Mail "No stars moral outrage decline of society" film that does just that, in a good way. The little girl is class, as is the boss. 
 
Yeah, I loved it. Seen it twice now :-) I just grinned almost from start to finish.

I've been lent the comic book version, it's much grittier and unusually I don't really like that. The frothiness of the film is one of it's good sides (but I'm not really a comic reader). 
Trailers Looked Pretty Meh To Me 
so I was going to wait for dvd/blu.

Will see if I can catch it over the next week though given the comments. 
Nitin. 
I admit, I really wasn't sure how it would be any good. Not sure if I saw a full trailer but saw some adverts and was like "pretty meh" but then people started making all these comments and I thought it was worth a go (there might of been this cute curvy geek chick I wanted to take on a date too *whistles*), and well, I'd have to agree with the comments, it's just funny, sassy, and entertaining. You might differ of course. 
Kick Ass 
has some decent action scenes, but most of the other stuff is meh. The humour (other than in the action scenes) didn't work at all for me. 
Megaman 
Is there anything, anything at all in the world, that you really, genuinely like? Other than yourself, of course ;-) 
Lunaranity Is Contagious 
 
SleepwalkR 
Hairy men in tight leather shorts, IIRC. 
Sleepwalker 
there's not much around that doesn't have a single flaw. And it's helpful to sum up what doesn't work. This doesn't mean you don't like it (most people actually think it does, and feel offended and/or irritated).

That said, most stuff that tries to appeal "to the masses" simply doesn't work for me. An exception might be your mum. 
If You Can Put Up With B/w 
and foreign stuff and can actually find this, Larisa Sheptiko's Wings is a phenomenal post-war soviet drama set in Russia with the main character an ex-army pilot who misses the war and the purpose it gave her life.

Easily slots in to my top 20-25 movies I have seen.

Oh 
and 9.5/10 
Megaman 
Yeah - all the people are wrong if they take your pointing out only the flaws of stuff as being overly critical / negative. I wonder how anyone would get that idea!

Seriously, I don't really care either way, I just noticed that you're always negative about pretty much everything. I just hope your super high standards don't make you a lonely guy ;-) 
#3241 
Excellent. Nice. 10/10 
 
Soleil Rouge/Red Sun

Some just about average western with Charles Bronson (somehow I do not like him, he's got a weird face and appearance, almost like the clown Klaus Kinski. I just cannot take his characters serious. Once upon a time in the west would have been even better with a better actor for his role in my opinion. 
Spirit 
Watch your parentheses! You're making all programmers uncomfortable!
