  1. Ofcourse I had to read this right before I watched Total Recall last night. The special effects were fine. But I got tired of watching Colin Farrell get chased, get caught, get chased, almost get caught, get chased again, get caught.

    And not that I have anything against Biel & Beckinsale. But you'd think they'd at least get two women who aren't interchangeable with their looks. Half the time, I didn't know who's butt they were trying to show me.

    And you are wise not to venture down the sadistic movie path. I've seen things, man. I'm usually good for some unique movie calls though.

    throw some out there for me....

  2. What's worse? Shooting a baby in a dream (God Bless America) or Punching a Baby on the campaign trail (The Campaign)?

    I liked God Bless America as well. I can see why many people didn't. The acting wasn't the best. But it was fun. I really like Bobcat Goldthwait as a director. If you haven't seen it, check out 'Worlds Greatest Dad'. It looks like a cheesy Robin Williams movie but boy is that image wrong. I also hear good things about 'Sleeping Dogs Lie' - I believe it is literally about sleeping w/ Dogs :huh: .

    I loved worlds greatest dad, i thought the kid was hilarious. That was a messed up movie.

    Ill check out sleeping dogs lie, any others?

  3. Yep. The 'last' season was split into two. Which I don't understand why they just didn't classify them as different seasons. Its not like they are taking a winter break.

    I love it when a drama series gets to go out on its own terms. Looking forward to the wrap-up.

    crazy. Walt is for sure going gangster on people, "it had to be done". He is one greedy sob.

    Could you refresh my memory of the signifance of the book at the end of the last episode?

  4. Flawless performance in my opinion. Ganz captured the delusion of 1945 Hitler perfectly. Too often he's conveyed as someone with mental deficiencies, which wasn't the case, he was wound in his created image of [slur deleted] Germany, diluted with paranoia and draped in delusions which caused his erratic decision making and behaviour late in the war.

    Downfall is a must see movie in my opinion.

    It has also spawned some of the best parodies on youtube of all time.

    I agree on how he played hitler. As far as parodies, if you havent seen the hitler gangnam style....here ya go

  5. I'm up to 481 watched movies during 2012. I might make it to 500 by the end of the year.

    I know the number sounds insane. But I've spent the entire 2012 year studying 3 hours a day for the CPA exam. While studying, I watch movies. Plus a lot of movies are only 1 hour and some change (mostly horror) . I'm going to be soooo happy when I get my life back. But it has been fun watching movies.

    whats some of your faviortes

  7. Watch you think of Hesher?

    Hesher was interesting but i kind of felt like i was left waiting for something. I like the meaning of the movie and watching hesher struggle through with his emotions, then finally opens up. Good depiction of a closed off, shutdown disturbed person.

    You have somebody talking about John Carter and Hesher and you recommend Birth of a Nation?

    You have to love the art of film and film history to enjoy Birth. Not something you pop in for a enjoyable flick. Great movie though but not for everyone.

    You ever see Faust? Amazing cinematography with a crazy budget for the times.

    I like all types of movies and can appreciate any type...just have to know what your looking for in the movie. Obviously if im wanting a shoot em up kill fest, im not going to pop in schindlers list. Just because i like movie A, doesnt mean i wont like movie B.

  8. So as im sitting here watching the Ravens game...and after watching all seasons of the wire recently, does anyone else think Boldin looks just like avon barksdale and even julius from remember the titans (same person)? If i knew how to post pics id crop them togther for comparison

  9. So i just watched john carter, i actually found it pretty interesting, very cool concept.

    So as i just sat down to watch Hesher, i was wondering if you guy have any new movies to reccomend. It took me 10 minutes of searching through about 500 movies to pick one out. Any type of movies really; gangster, adventure, some sci fi but nothing to crazy ( not a fan of star trek or star wars) so throw some ideas out there guys

  10. If you want to watch shows you can just stream them off the Internet also, that is if you don't feel like downloading them. There a few good websites that direct you to a 3rd party site, just make sure you have a pop-up blocker on. Examples: Solarmovie, Moviek2k, Tvlinks

    I like downloading all my stuff. I currently have about 900 gigs of movies, tv shows, etc...actually trying to sell a 1terabyte hard drive with a couple hundred movies on it, anyone interested pm me

  11. It's amazing, right? I have one more episode to go in the series. I finally got a chance to start the series earlier this semester.

    One of the best shows ever made.

    oh yea it is. I watched the while series about a year and a half ago. And being from baltimore it makes it more interesting, although i dont know most of these places they talk about
