INSTANT REVIEW : Closer
A movie about 4 people who know how to cheat on each other.
Natalie Portman still sucks at acting.
>>283
I would have said "nothing like the book", but actually it would have meant exactly what you said.
INSTANT REVIEW: Fanboys
A simple, hilarious movie that any Star Wars fan can relate to. It features tons of cameos and Star Wars inside jokes. "Don't roll your eyes at me, Admiral Jackbar" sums up the movie.
INSTANT REVIEW: Star Trek (2009)
Four words: Live long and prosper.
INSTANT REVIEW: Dragonball Evolution
Let-down. Storyline was too rushed, no time figure out where they were, let alone develop any empathy for characters. It was just a flurry of characters with the occasional delivery of cleavage.
INSTANT REVIEW: Antique (Korean movie)
A guy opens a cake shop and hires a gay guy to work there. Everyone eats cake.
INSTANT REVIEW: Terminator: Salvation
It was good, until I realised it did absolutely nothing to further the Terminator Storyline.
INSTANT REVIEW: Zeitgeist
Absolute crap
>>290
Actually I would have said "WTF" but still
CAPTCHA: renass
INSTANT REVIEW: Up
good kids movie
Let's talk about Blade Runner! Over 25 years later, and it still blows my mind.
It is. Especially given the fact it did age well.
>>4
Taerg taht ton s'ti.
Blade Runner is fucking awesome, anybody who doesn't agree is either trolling or doesn't know anything about movies.
>>6
I love Blade Runner everything about it is great.
I also hate Star Wars
Final Cut is the best.
Yes, just watched Final Cut again, and enjoyed it whole-heartily. Great film, especially for the time, and our current time as well now that i think about it.
I thought it was good, but my fiance couldn't wait to turn it off.
One of my favourites movies. Though, not everybody will like it. Once i got late for college, and skipped a sociology class. I asked my clasmates what did i miss, and they said "Actually, you did well by skipping class. We had to watch this weird sci-fi long-ass boring movie that nobody cared about except the teacher..." and stuff like that. When i found out that the movie they were speaking of was actually "Blade Runner" i facepalmed. Anyways, i was one of the few to pass that class =P
I really liked the world design in Blade Runner. The Fifth Element had a neat setting too it felt a lot like BR's only less trashed
What movies did you like as a child and will still watch today?
Mine are:
Jungel Book
Lost Boys

THE NEVER-FUCKIN-ENDING STORY
The Amazing Mr Blunden and 'Children's Film Foundation' films.
I watched 'The Cat From Outerspace' and 'Glitterball' recently...they were terrible, but I loved them as a kid.
its a mad mad mad mad world
still makes me laugh love the line, "you gota believe me I'm gonna be sick..." use it all the time when I ride roller coasters
Rambo II, I watched that movie at least 50 times when i was a kid. Isn't it funny how kids can just watch the same movie over and over without getting bored of it? These days i hardly ever watch the same movie twice. Or maybe it's just that i've been spoiled by the internet.
Spaceballs
also, I always had a soft spot for "Flight of the Navigator"
The Power Rangers Movie.
Ivan Ooze was a kick ass villain.
since we have a drama thread, why not a movie one?
I will start.
Gozu
The best part of the movie is when Ryuuhei is in the black man's appartment and he's like "ARE YOU GAY?"
My Sassy Girl, I am surprise this has not been optioned for an American remake. I would love to see someone like Seth Rogan in this hilarious romantic comedy.
>>73 What are you talking about? There is a American Sassy Girl remake with Elisha Cuthbert, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0404254/
I haven't bothered watching it, because i don't want to be blasphemous to the true sassy girl and ruin the memories i have of watching it
>>74
Wow, thanks for informing me, I must really be behind on the movie news.
>>75 you're welcome^^
Shanghai Dreams (Chinese) is a really good film.
>>77
Haha I download this movie in 2005 but still haven't seen it
Dreams
Seven Samurai
Rashomon
Three great movies, all worth a buy/rent/download.
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.
Kuro-Obi a.k.a. Black Belt
Just wondering but how many of 4ch users first used 4ch because of densha otoko?
Densha Otoko rocks ^_^
well im reading the Manga of densha otoko and at the credits, it says that it was a true story and a link to this site.
you should read the english version of the real thread
where can you do that?
That was why I came here.
I watched the Tv version on youtube and it really hit a chord.
I'm a 'shut-in', I sort of 'lost it' a bit after I finished my PhD.
Haven't been out in a long time.
( ・ω・) love densha otoko すごい！！！！
きた！！！！！！！
きたああああああああああ！！！！！！！！！
lol i read it and am watch the drama.
_|￣|O lol love this pic
I knew about 4ch but rarely posted, then I watched it and started posting more.
ORZ...
Damn you, Train Man.
Nice try.
Sage.
>>2
Epic fail
I was expecting something shit but I've got to admit that was pretty funny.
I liked it.
my is transformers2 gijoe t4 and dba
Star Trek was good, I enjoyed Wolverine as well.
Star Trek was great. They got the character interactions down pat. The tech was great, the story too - it is a phenomenal addition to the franchise.
Wolverine was okay. I mean, it delivered on its promises, I just never realised it was promising little.
kill Wolverine!!! for cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!lol
startrak was ok but t4 was awsome
Any other disgruntled "movie guys" here? Let's share the pain.
No.
i always thought working at a video store would be my summer job-of-choice... what's so painful about it?
I worked at a local video store a few months ago and it was extremely boring. I would open the store at 8am and then lie down behind a row of movies where the camera couldn't see me and fall asleep.
I got fired from the job, but that was due to tardiness.
Depends what kind of store you work in. I go to an independent video store where there's always 3 or 4 film students working the place, and they're allowed to play just about any movie they want. They just spend the whole time bullshitting. One time I overheard a conversation about how 70s zombie movies are better because they used real maggots.
I worked in an adult video store for a year. it was the best time. Free porn and extra cash.
During your campaign, how many public masturbators did you catch and how many unclean tapes were anonymously returned.
Rule One: All screen the original movie in the store on the day that the remake is released, you'd be amazed what this will do for your social life.
Does people still go to video stores, when there's netflix and well... torrents ?
Obviously. It's ignorant to think that everyone is as computer-literate as you are. Ask the average person on the street if they've downloaded any good torrents lately, and they'll likely just stare at you quizzically. Netflix has shipping time, and not everyone rents movies often enough to justify paying that much per month.
So yes, lots of people still go to video stores. They aren't doing quite as well as they were 10 years ago, but they're not going anywhere anytime soon.
WHO WINS?
Scrubs and House are great. I'll go with House though.
Scrubs of course. Drama is stupid
Grey's Anatomy: Very horrible rip-off of Scrubs and every episode is like SEX SEX OMG SEX... seriously... thats most likely the only reason why people watch the show... cause of the sex
ER: Never seen it
Scrubs: Hilarious and well thought out. Lots of life lessons and morals that are actually true in real life
House: Awesome!! Although House is the person who does most of the comedic stuff, I like the effects they have and the little plot twists although we know there's going to be a twist
Overall.... SCRUBS AND HOUSE PWNS ALL!! daydreams House and Cox pawning everyone
house > scrubs > er > greys
house and scrubs are the best
scrubs is a great comedy and can be dramatic
house is a great drama and is funny
my vote goes to house cause of its great plot lines and flawless acting
Now that ER is dead that only leaves House, Scrubs, and Grey's
But now answer me this... what does Grey's and House not have but Scrubs does? The Janitor and his antics!
SCRUBS ALL THE WAY!
>>95
Then again, Scrubs only has a few episodes left, if you consider the "activeness" of a show a decisive factor.
SCRUBS!!!!
House > Scrubs > ER > Gray's
Now that Scrubs is dead too theres only ER and House.
I'd just say House because he kinda reminds me of Dr. Cox from Scrubs, I still won't watch it though
>>4 makes me feel superior to him because none of my friends kept bugging me until I watched it. Which I didn't do, because blatantly manipulative demagogic pseudo-documentaries make me scornful.
>>5 doesn't know that he has nothing to feel superior about, since all of my friends are actually imaginary.
Zeitgeist is just another in a series of films made by students with biased opinions and more effort towards production than research. The guy basically took his theories on the origins of the Christian religion, Loose Change, and a general idea of global government dominance, then he threw it all together.
Conspiracy theory videos are amusing to watch as entertainment and for a few cheap laughs. Anyone taking them seriously, should re-acquaint themselves with critical thinking skills and a healthy dose of Skepticism.
garbage
Zeitgeist is the most accurate conspiracy video ever created because a beginners guide to astrology, google news, and economics 101 can undermine the most popular and powerful religion in the world [Christianity], United States intelligence, and Wallstreet.
we deserve propaganda and reductive generalizations that harm our dicks.
I deserver to know how to spell also.
I liked the idea of a resource based economy and the abolition of monetarism, that makes perfect sense; a society based on exponential growth through the exploitation of finite resources is doomed.
I wasn't quite so impressed by the transhumanist content. That whole area leaves me feeling very cold and I am hostile to it.
