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...

Starbuck 
you could take the moral lessons from captain planet?? Dude you have high tolerance levels. 
Hmmm 
She then goes in a closet and wishes she was 30 and slightly manly looking, and VOILA she wakes up and she's Jenifer Garner.


So that explains her attractive qualities. Grrrowwllll.

Seriously, your reviews should come with a tag line warning that they may cause in pants shittage from laughing so hard (I just tinkled myself a little). 
Give Us Spoilage... 
I was tempted to go see that movie only because Jennifer Garner looks insanely cute in all the trailers for it, but was put off by the fact that the audience would be full of teeny boppers.

How does the movie end, does she return to being 13 ala Tom Hanks in Big? 
No 
She makes another giant leap forward in age and becomes an 87-year-old who recounts the tale of how her true love Jack Dawson died when the Titanic sank at sea. 
Hahahah Starbuck 
I wish to subscribe to your newsletter, sir. 
Tron 
you could just watch alias. 
Boo 
I saw 'I Shot Andy Warhol' tonight. It was pretty good -- I thought Lily Taylor was really good in it. It wasn't innovative in too many ways, but it told a good story about the life of a crazed woman and the events leading up to one of 20th century art's biggest names being shot. Not bad if you have an hour and a half to kill. 
Tron 
massive spoilage!

she goes back to 13 again (going back in time) so she can live her life differently this time, and then they show you the happy ending, that she marries her childhood friend (mark?) when she grows up. 
Blitz: 
i saw that recently, too. Good performance by the main actress, but overall i didn't find the story or the themes very enlightening. 
Warhol SHot 
Personally, I found the postscript to be rather enlightening. 
Starbuck... 
...I sent your review through to my sister (who is a big JG fan) and now she has stopped talking to me.



Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for Starbuck :) 
*clink* 
lol, I've broken up marriages before, but never the eternal beautiful bond only a brother and sister have! i'll drink to that :)) 
Aeon Flux 
And... 
...this from my sister in law

Dom (my niece [ed]) had day off school yesterday and we trotted off to local cinema with friend in tow to watch Suddenly 30. Thank God it was not showing and having read the review you sent "what a lucky escape", especially as there wouldn't of been one single ball to stab with fork between us!

Starbuck, your fan base grows... 
Aeon Flux == Charlize Theron 
Worst casting ever! 
Distrans 
if you don't have any balls or forks, similar discomfort can be had be forcing hot popcorn into your eye-sockets! 
Aeon Flux 
dammit, I predicted over a year ago they'd make a movie of her. Sure to be full of bullet-ti...uh, aeon-time? Bullet-flux?
Somehow, I doubt it will be as eccentric as the pseudo-anime. 
The Horror, The Horror 
9 disc Matrix boxset

http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/227483

Right down the bottom of the page under Special Features : a new cut of Matrix Reloaded with 1 hour extra footage.

If anything it needs trimming, not more footage. 
Predator 
I hadnt seen this in a long time and was surprised at how cheesy it now comes across as. Sure, it's still suspenseful and fun but some of the scenes (the invasion of the rebel base especially) just seem ludicrous.

And the marines seem like poor imitations of Hudson, Vasquez and co (yeah I know predator was made earlier). The creature design, however, is still fantastic. 
But It Stars 
2 governors! 2!! and apollo creed! 
Carl Weathers 
should run for office. 
Equilibrium 
Just saw it. Sort of a cross between Fahrenheit 451 and The Matrix. I think the main problem with it is that for a movie whose ostensive point is that emotions are important and complex and make us human, emotion comes too cheaply in the film itself -- how are you supposed to feel about this or that plot point? Don't worry, the movie will tell you, so you won't have to deal with the complexity or contradiction of emotions that the movie claims to celebrate.

However, nice pacing, good action, plot twists and stuff. I don't regret watching it. 
Oh, 
and the studio obviously made them add a few extra scenes to explain it to the imagined stupid audience; for example the intro footage where it talks about war and stuff. The opening would have been much stronger if they started you off with the police raid. 
Predator 
The movie that made me fall in love with the chaingun 
And =librium, 
I loved the cinematography, a rich tapestry of grey and light saturation.
