Re: Suggest a movie!

Mask of the Phantasm is brilliant. I never really got into Batman Beyond, it's ok, but nowhere near as good as Batman TAS at its peak. I did enjoy Return of the Joker, any time I get to hear Hamill's Joker voice is a bonus.

Agreed. Although, Return of the Joker loses points for flashing back to The New Batman Adventures era which I hate so much it gives me energy.

Oh god, TNBA...

Probably something along the lines of "hey, let's redesign everything so it looks worse, hit Batman in the head with a crowbar so he loses some IQ points, throw in a bunch of new characters so they can divert attention away from Batman who is the only like... the star of the show, make Robin an annoying infant, drop some acid and we're good to go". Oh and on top of that they used the opening sequence from The Animated Series just to confuse everyone and make them think they're watching something good.

This is painful, and that's just the first episode.

y'all should talk about MiB 2 and 3. Or do commentaries for them. Or something.

I actually just watched this. A friend let me borrow this on blu ray.
While I can certainly see many, many, many things that need to improve in this film...... I still see parts of it that are ........not bad(?).

I've seen a lot of weak, lame, or even awful sci-fi and fantasy movies, and John Carter is NOT one of those.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I've been watching the movies Rifftrax is digging up to do video on demand versions of.

Oh. My. God.

Last night we saw Curse of Bigfoot. It'll be a week before I can look at any mainstream film and not consider it genius for not being on that level.

New around here. I'd like to recommend the following: way of the gun, trainspotting, boiler room, and the long kiss goodnight.

I second The Long Kiss Goodnight but I've been trying to get them to do a Shane Back scripted film in a while, to no avail. So far big_smile

Re: Suggest a movie!

I hate True Lies......*runs away*

(actually, 'hate' is too strong a word, it starts good and ends well but has a painfully boring middle. All the stuff with his wife is awful, in my opinion)

Re: Suggest a movie!

How dare You besmirch the awesomeness that is True Lies!  I would like to throw my hat in for John Carter.  I honestly don't know what you guys thought was so wrong with that movie.  I thought it was a good movie....  *runs for the hills with his pants around his ankles.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I thought John Carter was good as well. Not superb, but I didn't come away thinking it was a waste of time, which I often seem to do these days.

Similar sentiment with Battleship vs Transformers really, I bet that in 20 years they'd have a hard time believing that Avatar was the huge success and that John Carter was the relative flop - there's nothing intrinsically different about them in story, peformance and VFX quality.

Have you watched True Lies recently? It really drags in the middle. I'd say it is half an awesome movie.

I agree with you on John Carter,by the way. I don't think it's great but it doesn't deserve the hate. A wee rhyme for you there, free of charge. Bam!

Re: Suggest a movie!

The Hunger Games was released recently on Blu-ray. I'd love to know what you think about it now, if it's gotten worse for you or better.

Hunger Games would bring up really interesting Plinkett test and storytelling discussions.
