I can't help but think some of you haven't even seen the movie. The name isn't given in an attempt to be clever, smarmy, satirical or whatever, it's not a wink wink to the audience, it's not really given to him by the screenwriter in that sense, it's the name the character has given himself - one of many that he has gone by in his long lifetime. And that act demonstrates an aspect of the character and how he feels about himself (much the same as it does in Django).
Which is basically completely missing the point.
Never played Minecraft either, but any other games I'm... game?
How does the name of the character represent a problem?
I liked that movie! Quite memorable. It's like a play: few characters, one location, a thought-provoking concept.
I prefer it the way it is, it was a lot more surprising and interesting with Hermione and Ron. Plus it allowed Harry to develop relationships with other girls, Ginny especially.
Finally saw Elysium, I found it refreshing in that it wasn't facepalmingly stupid and incoherent like most other films of its kind (though some of the fight scenes were filmed terribly). Started off strongly (though I do have questions about the worldbuilding) with an interesting twist on the protagonist, and then ended rather unsatisfyingly with its 'everything is now magically ok' climax. Had they established more of the whys and whys nots, and had a more measured resolution which didn't feel quite as much like a wave of light sweeping over the dark landscape ala TRON, I would have liked it more.
I could also have done without the million flashbacks.
Jeremy Irons is an interesting choice, I honestly wouldn't have ever pictured him as Alfred.
Saw Europa Report - pretty good, I liked it. It's essentially a superior version of Apollo 18, and I was surprised at its camera views approach.
I watch the live shows with the movie, but never the recorded ones. I prefer not to watch along to be honest, as I sometimes get a little irritated when the guys aren't commenting on something happening I think warrants some discussion (usually an awesome shot). Off topic conversations don't matter at all when you're doing something else!
Ender's Game
What was the point of this? I've still no idea. It didn't seem to have anything to say, and yet had many ideas that could have been explored. This could have been a superb Outer Limits episode, right down to the revelation, if in a tighter more confident form. But I was surprised at how bored and disinterested I was.
Not many directors are good with action direction these days - Michael Bay is pretty bad at it (or is now) and Peter Jackson isn't terribly good either (either in the LOTR or Hobbit).
The best I've seen recently is The Raid.
Interesting discussion about the Star Treks, I completely agree with Brian though. The films are virtually the same, with the second film being slightly better in terms of the actual story. For instance, I don't really think anyone can deny that its central antagonist and his motivation is far superior to Nero.
Or Silent Running? Come on... spaceships!
Goodness me, a couple of those got 8s. They must be really good!
Clearly Chris Nolan in that case. He's way more talented than Fincher
