FF:NZ Movies . . .

Hancock was an interesting idea but it is not a consistent film. Sort of in 2 distinct halves that don't quite mesh for me.

looks decent

 

^ Please tell me you are fricken kidding.

That looks like just another steamin pile of **** from Eddie. The man hasn't produced anything decent in the past 10 years (apparently Dreamgirls excluded, but who really can take a movie serioulsy that gives an Oscar to an American Idol reject), except voicing donkey in Shrek, where he is brilliant.
He needs to stop doing this lame kids comedy type crap and get back to the filthy no bars hold humour that made him famous.

Let's tale a look and exclude the Shreks:

Norbit (2007)
The Haunted Mansion (2003)
Daddy Day Care (2003)
I Spy (2002)
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
Showtime (2002)
Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001)
Bowfinger (1999)

DEAR GOD MAKE HIM STOP, MAKE HIM STOP NOW!

And before this Beverly Hills Cop 3 which was great.

 

Saw Get Smart last night.

Bloody good laugh. Not too slapstick like the TV series. Good gags, laugh out loud fun.

 

Off to The Dark Knight tonight!!

 

TDK was great. Man talk about busy though, I have never seen theatres like this except for SW. So took a few days more than i thought to actually get round to seeing it.

Ledger was awesome, Nicholson can lick my sweaty ****, Ledger IS the Joker. Best part of the movie is the pencil trick, just wait until you see it! Echart is great as Dent and Bale always delivers. A long movie though and at times it seemed to drag. Unsure if i rate it above Begins though. Will need another viewing.

So NZ still got another week until it comes out? Stink one. See it in IMAX if you can, apparently it will blow your mind.

Wow that was a rambling post.

 

Saw it the other night. WOW. So awesome.

Loved the token scene with Scarecrow!!!

Super awesome, but was seriously tired and brain found it hard to think about 1/3 through. I'm sure i missed things. But awesome movie!!!

 

kinda weird how everyone knew Bruce was Batman though. Alfred; a given. Morgan Freeman, his girl then the geeky guy who wanted to blackmail him etc... not that many when you say it like that but it had the feeling in the movie that lots of people knew... unlike the tv and earlier movies... then again, im sure alfred couldnt build the batmobile so i guess someone else had to be around to do that. extra backstory which is nice in a way

oh and awesome backstory for two face, how / why he goes nuts and how he got his two faces and awesome graphics / make up.

 

Yeah it kicks ass.

Hope to see it for a 3rd time beore it goes away, Rach not keen though

 

Anyone excited about Hellyboy II? I think I'll go see it tomorrow night. Looks awesome.

 

meh wasn't fussed by the first one, might see it on dvd if someone else pays

 

Seems to be a comic-book-movie overload at present. I guess this sort of thing goes in cycles. At least we're off 'remake 1970s or 1980s TV show' phase.

The good reception for Get Smart will probably usher in a 'remake 1960s TV Shows' phase though.

 

Hellboy has only just come out in NZ? lmao!

 

Went to see the Dark Knight at Imax last weekend. bigness and awesomeness.
ACMI are showing Dark Crystal and Labyrinth - will be cool to see them on the big screen

 

Bowie's Bulge back from thr 80's in MONSTER SIZE!!!

 

Speaking of old classics.....

Bring back KRULL.

Saw "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" the other night. I thought it was brilliant. Imaginative, dark, well-paced and extremely funny in places. (I am feeling pretty OK about a Jackson-less "Hobbit" based on how much I enjoyed this film.)

 

I am just hoping Singapore air has Clone Wars on, when i fly to China next month

nothing like 2 12 hour flights to catch up on some movies

 

Got thru Indy and the forbibben city on the way up to singapore

not a happy camper thou they didnt have the clone wars

maybe have to get the dodgy DVD in China this week of it

the taran swing thru the vine scene in indy was a bit lame

 

Where in China are you farmboy? Im in Yangchun, Guangdong.

Went and saw the Clone Wars in Hong Kong. High point, the crackled radio transmission over the lucasfilm logo. Low point, everything after that.

No really, thats a bit negative. But it was really my preaffermed fandom of Star Wars that made me tollerate it. Otherwise quite dissapointed

 

What ever you do Rogue. DO NOT PLAY BEER PONG while in Yangchun, Guangdong!!! If you lose, you could end up crapping pancakes for the rest of your life!

 

I am in Beijing not sure how far that is from where you are Rogue

Off to see some paralympic tomorrow morning

anyone know the rules to goalball?

now all i have to do is try to get some tickets to the wheelchair rugby

they say that is all sold out but china nations can still buy on line

so may have to see what i can get at the gate

 

No posting while drunk!!!
