The dark knight and wall-e were probably the last two for me. idk if wall-e counts as a blockbuster though

I was only being sarcastic cos Steel didn't mention the dark knight which I'm pretty sure he liked so I was underplaying the success of it. The Joker was good, yeah. I don't like comic books or comic book movies but I remember getting pretty riled up during the movie.

He's definitely the best thing in a superhero movie I've seen but he's contending with caked urine equivalents.

dark knight was kind of an exception in a lot of ways really to EVERYONE but yeah you guys are right god I even SAID it like ten posts ago.

edit: how did i forget this???

the tumor... its spirit lingers

I heard it was terrible. I guess this confirms it.

District 9 actually looked really interesting

Like, the idea of an alien species showing up as refugees in africa and we being the glorious people we are just pretty much shit on them (SUCH A BURDEN) like we do everyone/thing else.

Its pretty depressing but thats what I would expect to happen

gotdamn grasshoppers can't even drive them fuckin cabs right

WHY DONT YOU THINGS SPEAK HUMAN, YOU'RE IN OUR WORLD LEARN HUMAN OR GTFO

I really didn't like The Dark Knight all that much. Its far too long, the dialogue is fairly wooden, and Christian Bale's "batman voice" is just too much for me to tolerate without doing an over the top imitation to the person sitting next to me. On the topic of JJ Abrams, I liked Forever Young and Regarding Henry, and he wrote those. I liked Lost until last year and the whole time travel thing.

best comic to movie adaptation is the crow imo edit: maybe 300 but idk I cant remember them all this late

Yeah, this is pretty much right.

I watched the trailer for this movie and at the end, it felt as if someone had urinated into my mouth.  It looks like a generic action film with a the Star Trek IP taped (poorly) on top.

ugh i read this post while drunk and then vomited because this is a really gross metaphor

thanks

i know this is literally the worst thing for me to get righteous/upset over but i literally just vomited over my expensive new clothes on the idea of pissin in one's mouth so i'm gonna get mad now!!

With all the crap about the workprint and it hurting the movie etc etc... it still brought in $87 mil on opening weekend

why would you think terminator looked sweet ds.

hmm lets see every possible element of neat shit terminator had going for it...gone and replaced with michael bay style shit?

SWEET.

no one, not even the people who said that, believed it would hurt the movie. the issue was a blogger was dumb enough to admit piracy of a movie while working for like FOX or something, not that it would hurt sales.

I saw The Dark Knight again the other day, for the second time ever (first time at theatres) and yeah I really like that movie. It was just very well put together, with an interesting crime drama storyline and some likeable and interesting characters. When I was a kid, SPIDERMAN was my favourite superhero and comic, but looking back, i really wish I had given Batman more though. He's kind of cool really. He's not superhuman in any way, his ability comes from his wealth and his intelligence and ingenuity, and his FORTE is crime solving, not just beating up radioactive supervillains. He's a detective as much as he is a superhero, and that's sort of where Nolan's Batman franchise stands out because Batman is allowed to play the part of detective. Maybe that's why Dark Knight is kind of cool? Like if you took out the whole Batman thing and just made him a cop or something, and toned down the Joker a little bit, it still might've actually been interesting.

Whatever, I'm just preaching to the choir since everyone enjoyed the movie.

MCG!!!!!!!!!!

Terminator: Full Throttle

on the batman thing I kind of rolled my eyes at how everyone was like FINALLY A MATURE BATMAN, as if this has ever been like a thing.

FINALLY...BATMAN FOR ADULTS *ignores the fact that batman is for manchildren even in the darkest comic*

what's kind of neat about Dark Knight is not only was that stupid thought process mostly gone, but it was actually a good movie in a lot of ways. like...I almost DONT WANT TO SAY THIS but it could have potentially been a non-comic book movie and been good. like if you made it instead of joker vs man in bat suit FILMNOIR people or just really anyone you would have a good movie anyways where it mattered. like oh no no gimmicky batman flying around shit but you'd still have a pretty decent film. there were clever scenes, a real plot, some ACTUAL EMOTION, and reiterating A REAL PLOT.

whereas you take ironman out of ironman you've just got a kind of dumb action movie at best.

I think that's why Dark Knight gets legit praise from people; it's NOT a "serious comic book", it's actually a pretty decent movie on its own. also not DESPITE being a comic book for the most part as it would significantly change the movie to remove it even though it could be removed.

basically while the level of nerd love for the movie is expectedly nauseating I was surprised by how not like the rest it was. I'm not sure how much longer you could stretch something like "really competent movie about this one character" over a continuous series or anything but that's my Dark Knight opinion! legitimately good movie not in spite of being a comic book or because of it but just because.

no one may have directly said that the workprint would hurt the movie, but the whole premise of piracy affecting the box office was definitely not an issue
