Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
thing is, even if they make a bad movie, people will still go see it because the bad reviews havn't had time to get out yet.

No decernable plot, no purpose, just lame arsed hacked together crap.
I am to young to remember much about the TV series, but what I do recall, is a guy on top of a huge holding tank with a rifle not that that means much.
This movie is simply not good.

Unfortunately, I am old enough to remember the tv show. I think I was around 13-14 years old. Haven't seen the movie, though. Sounds like I might want to wait until it comes on HBO. It's a good thing I waited for National Security. Saw that over the holidays, and I'm glad I didn't spend any money to see it or buy the dvd. Talk about a waste of my time.

Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
Ya it is a good "free" movie to watch. Save your money and watch it on TV.

Well? Today is now tomorow.
I just saw this movie and it was good. However anyone who doesn't think the Last 15 minutes sucks and is totally useless obviously read the book. (at least that is what I assume) I'm assuming that maybe in the book these scenes had a bit more to them and maybe meant something. The way they were in the movie is was just a bunch of useless crap.
Without giving anything away I'll just say that once you discover the fate of Frodo the movie is over. who cares what happens after that.

Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
yeah, i cant stand those darn book reading people who ruin my movie going experience. they either complain because a perfectly good movie ruined their favorite book, or they get all high and mighty about some lousy movie is all great and meaningfull because off odd references to important parts that were never shown.
I mean, if it wasnt good enough to be in the film, how good can it be? Progress man, progress. Now that we have moving pictures, we should burn the libraries so these holier-than-thou pricks wont ruin our time at the theatre with their incesant *****ing.

Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
Umm... there are a lot of things that are great in a book, but do not translate well to the movie screen at all. And then there are a lot of things that are good in a movie, but don't translate well to a book.
