I also can't wait to see The Road, which I think finally comes out next month. I read the book almost 2 years ago and for whatever reason I pictured Viggo Mortensen as the main character so I'm really looking forward to actually seeing him play the part.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I went to the same church as the Herzogs growing up and one of his daughters was in my [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confraternity_of_Christian_Doctrine]CCD[/url] class in 2nd grade, so I met him during my First Communion. Nice guy, quite tall. Still can't get over the way the Skins treated him.

Anyways, I saw [I]The Goods[/I] last Friday night. Typical raunchy Ferrell/McKay movie that I found hilarious. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone easily offended by random beatings, hilarious lap dances or purple dildos...

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

just saw Crank 2,loved it,it was cheesy but it reminded me a lot of Quentin Tarantino cheesy.You have to take it for what it is.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

its not a movie but got always sunny in philly season 4 yesterday, me and the lady watched the first 5 episodes, this is big news for us since we dont have cable . . . just didnt seem as funny as the first 3 seasons, the plots and schemes seemed more grandiose and thus less grimy than years past . .

i still cried almost every episode thoo . . .im tough to please.

go skins!!

Perhaps you guys can help. I recently heard how Jupiter is a gasiousl planet. Have heard it's made of mercury and is a gas due to space mercury is a liquid on earth due to is gravity or oxygen or something like that.

It baffles me that Jupiter is a gasious planet and supposedly not solid. Then I'm watching "Ancient Astroids" on the History channel and they were talking about Shoemaker hitting Jupiter. how can anything hit Jupiter if it's a gasious planet?

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I'm baffled. If it has a solid core and gas surrounding it I guess I could understand but I keep hearing how it's made of mercury and is a gas due to space. Which to me would mean solids would travel through it without colliding with anything.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Just watched "The Mist" with Thomas Jane. I never read the Stephen King novella, but man, that movie was weak. Maybe there were some hidden metaphors and/or symbols I was missing, but sheesh what a stinker. The ending was just awful as well.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Really GM ? The Mist was the shit. Of course it was a mind fuck because of the length but it was pretty much about how we can turn on eachother during a time of duress. I mean to be locked in a building with monsters that burst in from time to time ? A religious fanatic starting a cult right there inside based on their fears of immenent death. And the ending ? OMG, that alone was worth the price of admission. I really liked that movie.

Why are you asking this in the movie thread?

He could've sent that question to Ask The Weather Guy. Bet Tony Perkins could have that answer for you during your morning Fox 5 Weather Report by tomorrow morning !

Everyone, please see Zombieland. My friend, and native Washingtonian, Ruben directed the film. I can't vouch for it, since I haven't seen it yet, but the reviews are good.

I got my midnight ticket for Friday (I can't believe LA's only got three shows the entire weekend for this!).

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I'm kinda excited to see the new movie "Precious" comes out Nov 6.

I heard most of the main characters in this movie weren't allowed to wear makeup. (Obvious with Mo'Nique and Mariah Carey).

Might be a little too real for some people. But I guess that's whats appealing about it for me.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

^ I bet it will be available to all soon sometimes Hollywood does this with a low budget film to get it going, AKA Blair Witch.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Yeah I just wasted half of my day at work watching The Children of The Corn SyFy remake and I don't know if I've seen worse.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I saw Zombieland and The Informant last night. Zombieland was pretty good, it was basically a "how many ways can you kill a zombie" type dealie but I enjoyed it. It was definitely a very funny movie, I thought Woody Harrelsons' kill 'em all character and that kid's nerdy "trying to stay alive by my rules" character set each other up perfectly.

Also I loved the celebrity character that made a cameo towards the end of the movie. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet but I thought it was great seeing that person make an appearance because I haven't seen that person in any really good movie in quite a while.

The Informant sucked. I didn't know what to expect, but I thought it was a waste of time. I've never been more bored during what's supposed to be a comedy. I don't know what the directors were trying to shoot for there. The premise was good and I know it was based off that whole scandal back in the 90's but for me it felt like a 2 hour business meeting with a couple mildly humorous jokes thrown in.

Paranormal Activity lives up to the hype. Be careful if you watch it... stays with you for a while.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Just caught a Halloween classic-to-be... rent "Trick 'r Treat" if you can. Really creative film for the Halloween holiday.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Has anyone caught Surrogates yet? Is it worth watching in the Theatre or should I just catch it On Demand or something.

Paranormal was well done and very scary. You're right, I didn't get any sleep that night.
