Not if you play it backwards.

The porn or the war movie?

[theGinsue]

Yes.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but Dark City is a pretty interesting one. Came out roughly the time that the first Matrix did so it got buried under that. Pretty interesting flic; a dark, sci-fi film.

Watched Dark City. It was okay. Didn't get really campy until the end. It had a pretty good concept that must have been difficult to portray in film without being too hokey.

Has any seen predators yet? It could be a good watch.

A good war movie is 100x better than the best porn, which gets old immediately.

I disagree.

Just got done with Watchmen. What a great movie that was. I really need to stop listening to mainstream opinion on movies. I've heard a LOT of people trash both District 9 and Watchmen, but they are on my top list. Excellent flick*. I could see how people thought it was too long and too boring, but I loved it. Excellent sound track as well.


*I've never read any comics, so I'm immune to things that were left out or altered in any comic book movies.


As far as Predators goes, I don't think it is a movie that I can tolerate. Once I saw the preview with the Yakusa Dragons in it, I completely dismissed the movie. Well, all the previews made me not want to see it, but the Yakusa one pushed me over the edge. At first I was mad that they ruined a great movie, but then I remembered how lame Predator 2 was, and realized that the original Predator was probably lame and I was just too young to notice at the time. I don't want to watch it again because I fear that it is better in my memory.

Did Watchmen get bad reviews from any mainstream critics? I guess I was so excited for it to come out that I just tuned out any reviews. I know the fanboys didn't like it, and of course Alan Moore distanced himself from it but he does that with all of the adaptations.

I don't really listen to main stream reviews (maybe I should). Just a bunch of people in random forums saying how it was long, boring, and showed too much dong. Idiot radio DJs and stuff say the same thing. Did you like it?

I tend to just watch movies despite reviews/what some guy o the internet says. This has tended to lead me in the right direction and I've seen some flicks I probably wouldn't have listening to critics that ended up being great
