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...

Oh 
and the music is cool too. 
Re: Castle 
asshole ending of season 1. Nice series otherwise though, will continue watching (well fuck, I have to thanks to this fucking cliffhanger). 
Spirit 
Wait until the season 3 cliffhanger... 
Spirit 
There are so many shows that are so much better than this. Castle has exactly one awesome bit, and that's when Nathan Fillion dons the Firefly costume. 
So... 
who else has a boner for the Game of Thrones finale tonight? 
Jusrified 
Finished season 1, all kinds of great for sure.

Fringe and BSG 2nd seasons to follow. 
X-Men First Class 
Enjoyed it a lot, but can't help thinking that it would have been better if the characters had more freedom to develop in their own ways, rather than slotting into the more or less predefined X-Men roles. 
 
Two episodes of Castle season 2 were awful so I guess I will stop watching. Dammit, season 1 was really nice. 
I Liked Season 3 
I skipped the first 2 seasons so I dunno how they were. I dunno, giving up on a show because of 2 bad episodes seems kind of lame, especially when you liked the first season. 1 season < 2 episodes I guess. 
Apocalypse Now Redux 
Must be the slowest movie I've seen in a while. I was a bit disappointed, because i liked the original so much (despite me not remembering much of it?!). Because of its lack of speed it didn't really blew me away, but it certainly is nice. Don't really know what to think of it. 
ANR 
is shit. AN is awesome :) 
Complete Streaming French Version 
Hmm 
...

I really like the added scenes, they all add something to the underlying topics and sense of place/disonant societies. 
Yeah 
but they kill the pacing bigtime IMHO. 
The Thing 
Just watched this after not seeing it for years, and it's still one of my favorite horror movies. I've yet to see a monster as scary/gross/awesome as the thing. 
Jt_ 
Be sure to check out the original 50s one too - The Thing from Another World. It can't top Carpenter's remake but still remains a memorable piece of classic sci-fi. 
ANR 
So which scenes are added? I've seen the movie twice, both of which I believe was Redux, and it's still one of my all-time favorites. Interested in finding out what I'd think of the original cut. 
The Most Major Addition 
is the french planatation scene. Another playboy bunny scene compared to the original plus various other bits and pieces. 
Hanna 
Cute girl with ninja skills gets civilization shock and kills bad guys. Kinda cool, in a Leon sort of way. Lots of running to Chemical Brothers music and awkward German spoken by Americans. 
 
Rio (2011)
Animation movie for kids, lots of singing, all clichees served, predictable like it should be. I did not enjoy it much. 
Err 
so second season of BSG (halfway though, they've just met Pegasus) is still pretty kick ass, what were the complaints? 
Nitin 
I think the second half of S2 gets a bit slow, focusing on internal problems in the fleet. I think it's the episodes between "Resurrection Ship" and "Lay Down Your Burdens". Then it gets fantastic again for the first part of S3... but I think that some of the later episodes of S3 are a bit meh again. But all in all, this is nitpicking, because even when it's meh, BSG is still pretty damn fine due to the great cast, music and visual quality.

Also, do not forget to watch the Webisodes which were released between seasons and make absolutely sure to watch the movie "Razor" between S3 and S4 - it's fucking great, esp. if you like the Pegasus angle. After finishing the series, you could watch another TV movie called "The Plan", but it's really bad... really really bad. 
Sleepy 
yeah have Razor and the Plan, didnt know about webepisodes. 
Webisodes 
They're not really necessary to understand the plot development, but do show some insight into the background. Some of them have also been incorporated into Razor IIRC. 
 
Paul
My expectations were too high. This was not an Edgar Wright movie. I did not really like the trailer and the movie itself was quite like it. Not bad at all, but nowhere near what Pegg & Frost are known for.


Rango
Extremely weird and a lot of fun. Great music and characters. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
