What Movies/DVDs/Television shows are YOU watching?

[Futomimi]

I have a replacement coming. It might just take a while.

[Sayckeone]

Oh, OK, Mimi. Thanks.

[Futomimi]

huh?

[Sayckeone]

Mimi, have you seen this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_(film) ?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZNM9kKo4JNU

It could be watched on YT and Google Video at one point. Just wondering it you've seen it, and if it was any good. Supposed to be as bloody as Inside.

Also, what about Them (Ils)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Them_(2006_film)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wlv4XrMpC48

Kid, maybe you've seen them? Though, I don't think horror is your thing.

EDIT: Also, I just realized that the wiki links don't work.

[Futomimi]

Oops, I totally didn't see your post. Will edit this in a second after I look it up.

EDIT!
I haven't seen Martyr, but I'll look into it. Them/Ils is a piece of ####, dude. Don't even waste your time. It's boring, not graphic at all, unentertaining, and incoherent.

edit x 2
Actually, is Martyrs even out yet? The official site says it's in cinemas in September. It seems like they're still trying to decide on a rating.

[slayn]

I started watching the second season of Millennium today. It is painfully obvious Chris Carter left the show in someone else's hands...

It's already out in France.

[Futomimi]

Oh. Yeah, I probably won't get a hold of it until it gets an international release. Or a YT or something.

BTW there's a zombie movie from Spain called [rec] that I've heard good things about. It's on youtube. (link below) Have you seen it or heard anything?

Haven't seen [REC] yet. I'm not sure I want to watch a movie on YT, so I've been putting it off.

Ah, ok. And yeah, I can't find Martyrs there, apart from trailers and a few short clips.

There is an american remake of [rec] comming out under the name Quarantine, not 100% sure on release date. But the trailer can be found on the playstation network.

[Futomimi]

I have a strict "no remake" policy. Especially for Americanizations of foreign horror.

[SlaughterX]

Watched Across the Universe (BR) a few days ago... when I rented it I wasn't aware it was a musical... so I took my sweet time before watching it. For a musical it wasn't bad (just not my type of movie). However I thought about how much life would suck if people sang everywhere you went, I would either have to kill myself or everyone who sang.

Anyway the DD True HD did a good job for all the singing that's going on through out the movie, and it was all very colorful and artsy like, so no compliants in either of those areas.

I also watched Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay (BR) before that, it was pretty funny but not really hilarious. I'd never seen the first movie, but this one wasn't hard to follow since they provide you with flashbacks (I guess) from the first movie. Gotta love the bottomless part party.

Like almost every other New Line HD movie, this features a 7.1 DTS-HD audio track, however I kept hearing weird popping noises through out this movie. It has never happened before on my system, so I'm blamming the movie, but I wonder if it's a bad disc or what... PQ was alright, nothing great but not bad either.

[Sei]

Be kind rewind. IT was supposed to be a cute movie, or something, I guess. It had a couple funny moments, but it wasn't really touching, and felt a bit pointless. The plot also doesn't seem to go anywhere. The remakes of movies are cute too. It feels like huge self congratulator masturbation by the studio. 2/5

Edit: 2/3

[SlaughterX]

Just watched Vantage Point (BR). I didn't really care for how the movie changed perspective every few mins (even though that was obviously the entire point of the movie), but it does come together pretty good near the end. I expected more use out of the rear spekaers in the soundtrack, but at least the few explosions they play over and over sound pretty decent. PQ was also pretty good, if a bit soft in spots. I figure more people here would have seen it considering it has everyone's favorite deserted island leader Jack in it...

Oh, We didn't dislike it. We just liked it a bit less than average!. We saw it in two pats because we fell asleep in the middle of the movie the first time, so maybe it wasnt a good movie for us right now.

Well I kind of wanted to wait until someone confirmed it decent, so I will probably pick it up my next paycheck.

[Arjuna]

Watching Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. ####ing hilarious so far.

[DarkShear]

Be Kind Rewind. Good movie, very enjoyable with a good pace. Mos Def and Jack Black continue to show what great actors they are, especially Mos Def.

Sei what kind of rating system is 2 out of 3? :) Now that's a America's Hat (Canada) garbage rating system if I've ever heard of one.

[Sei]

^ Heh, thanks, I missed that. Ficed it. Cut me some slack haven't got a lot of sleep lately.

Agree on Mos Def. I didn't feel Jack Black's acting was anything special for this movie. He was just playing an unfunny variant of the same character he always plays.

[EvilHero]

Last disc of Lost Season 2

Michael is the biggest ####ing douche on the island.

[Sayckeone]

^LOL

[DarkShear]

EH I agree, less hotties because of him.

Anyways I watched:

The Bank Job(2008) R

Based on a true 1971 event, this thriller tells the story of Terry (Jason Statham), a car dealer who becomes involved in a London bank heist only to find that the contents of the bank vault will draw him deeply and irrevocably into the city's criminal underbelly. Murder and scandal abound in this tale of corruption populated with a surprising mix of offenders, from low-level thugs to government officials and all the way up to the royal family.

3 out 5 stars, decent pace, dragged in a couple spots. But over all a decent flick.

[SlaughterX]

Watched Persopolis (BR)... another one of the mediocre modern art films. It wasn't bad, but I had a hard time being entertained or even caring about most of the #### in the movie. I suppose it's a good way to learn about some Iranian history, maybe if I take a class on that, or had watched this movie in said class I would have cared for it more, but that's not the case.

I also tend to dislike movies with poor/cheap looking animation, and this movie is the last one I could see really benefitting the HD treatment. I'm sure it look better than the DVD would a nice sized TV, but for most people the added cost for a mostly black and white movie with such basic animation and artwork is not warranted.

For what it counts, the dub was pretty good for a movie that is natively in French about a family in Iran. Again I'm sure the added bandwidth of the DD True HD soundtrack was unneccesary, but it doesn't hurt. :)

I thought it was pretty good. Earned itself an 80% and above ratings over at RottenTomatoes. Well, for me, I suppose both the Bank Job and The Usual Suspects would be on par with each other.

Just watched Dark Knight again, and I think I need to watch it the second time, just to get the rest of the hints and deliberate jokes from the Joker. I've seen who the Riddler was (though I hope The Riddler won't be the same guy in the next one. Heard they're asking Depp to play as him, but no confirms yet).

And not too long ago, Elizabethtown! Orlando Bloom was pretty good in it, I suppose. And Dunst played a really nice role of that cheerful-perky girl.

I can't help but feel that Garden State copied the ideas from Elizabethtown. :?

[raum215]

Guess I forgot to post my impressions of that movie when I rented it a couple of weeks ago. Anyway it's like an even worse version of all the RE movies, minus the zombies and fileld with British accents... Not a horrible movie, but nothing special by any means.

[RayFoxSith]

Saw the new Mummy movie. Was very disappointing, don't bother with it.

I tried watching TRON, what a ####ing boring movie. I fell asleep within 15 minutes.

I've seen who the Riddler was (though I hope The Riddler won't be the same guy in the next one. Heard they're asking Depp to play as him, but no confirms yet).

Anybody other than Jim Carrey is no Riddler at all. :P

[Arjuna]

Recently watched The Blob, the 1988 remake of the old classic. I gotta admit at first I thought this movie was going to be just all out bad, but the special effects of the Blob eating and slowly sort of dissolving it's unlucky prey was pretty awesome. The screenplay was actually pretty good too, some funny pretty clever moments. Another interesting tidbit is that one of the main characters Meg was Amanda (apprentice girl) from the Saw series. Definitely a good b-movie to watch, it's rating (in terms of b-movies) would land it a 5/5.

[DamnedToBeFree]

5 Star Film!

The Orphanage


With fond memories of the seaside orphanage where she was raised, Laura (Belén Rueda) persuades her husband (Fernando Cayo) to help her revamp it as a facility for disabled children. But once they move in, their son Simón (Roger Príncep) begins to exhibit dark and disturbing behavior. As Laura tries to understand Simón's increasingly malevolent actions, she becomes drawn into the house's terrifying secrets in this gothic chiller.

Great film! Check it out if you speak/understand Spanish or don't mind subtitles.

[Gillian Seed]

I started to watch Rogue today but fell asleep 5 minuets in. Very tired. Looks good still. Its that giant crocodile movie by the Wolf Creek guy.

I also watched The Ruins the other day, I liked that one. Nice gore, nothing special, but good.

YES. I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH YOU. The Orphanage, if not scary, it's heartwarming.


Though I must say, the ending is somewhat similar to Pan's Labyrinth, in a way.

Well, whadya expect? It's by the same director of Pan's Labyrinth. XD


Anybody other than Jim Carrey is no Riddler at all. :P

They were planning to use Depp as the next Riddler. *shrug* Rumours, but Depp would seem like a good choice, I guess~ He scared me in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.

But yea, the Riddler was already shown in Dark Knight as the man who figured out a certain something in the midst of everything that's happening to Gotham City. :wink:

Lucky guess gets a kiss from...hmm...uh...I'll have to think about that first~ ^_^;

[RayFoxSith]

It'd be interesting to see Depp as a Riddler, but I also agree Jim Carrey was an awesome one.

[Gillian Seed]

With his sweet green tights? I dont think so.

They need to make the Riddler believable like everyone else is, get him back in his nice suit. I think that would be cool. Have it be the last Batman movie with Bale/Nolan as well, because I want to see other projects by them and not just batman for the next few years.

Unless I'm wrong. I've only seen the movie once and didn't know there were hints pointing towards the Riddler.

[RayFoxSith]

LOL, that runt? He's no Riddler....

[Esoteric]

From what I understand, the Riddler was supposed to be Anthony Michael Hall, the reporter who was talking to the snitch, Reese, but this was changed. Where is everyone getting the idea that the accountant Reese is going to be the Riddler? I think it's just a very viral rumour. The Riddler only ever had the names E. Nigma, Edward Nashton, and Eddie Nashton, never Reese. Granted, the REPORTER's name is Mike Engle, which bares similarities to Nigma in certian fashions...

[DamnedToBeFree]

LOL, that runt? He's no Riddler....

Ha yea I figured. I really should see the movie again.

[Futomimi]

Well, whadya expect? It's by the same director of Pan's Labyrinth. XD


Actually, The Orphanage has a different director. Its producer is the director of Pan's Labyrinth (Guillermo del Toro).

[Chronis]

I'll be going to see The Dark Knight tonight

[Logan]

Saw The Dark Knight and Step Brothers earlier this week while I was out of town. Both were great IMO, though I liked The Dark Knight more. I've hated Will Ferrell's most recent movies like Blades of Glory and Talledega Nights, but Step Brothers was hilarious.

But the movie has changed a lot on Batman, hasn't it? Like...the Joker wasn't exactly suppose to be like that in the movie (then again, this varies from the different writers they had for their comics, etc), and Bruce doesn't have people like Lucius Fox to come up with the gadgets for him.

So I was thinking, if they have made lots of changes in the story, why not change The Riddler as well? After all, it's pretty much like a revamp of everything with better changes than the last few movies.

I just watched some random PPV's a few days ago.

[DarkShear]

I was on vacation last week Thursday to Sunday so I wasn't able to update all of the movie watching I've done. And then Sunday when I got back I was completely brain dead. I did so much drinking this weekend, easily consumed 50+ drinks in a 3 day period.

NUTS.

Finished movies.

Sea of Love 3 out of 5, good movie, good pace, GREAT Al Picino. Has a great twist at the end.

Clockers 4 out of 5, great movie, good pace...it was an 80/20 movie. 80% AWESOME and 20% bleh. See this movie if you haven't! Funny in some spots too.

The Thief of Bagdad 3 out of 5, classic movie from 1940. It was funny to see white people playing Arabs. It had a pretty decent pace and was entertaining. Nothing mind blowing about it. The trailer that is on the DVD for the movie is funny "filmed in TECHNO COLOR!"

Perfect Stranger 3 out of 5, okay movie, okay pace, wasn't terrible. We do get to see some great side boob though.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay 3 out of 5, really funny in some spots, really not funny in a lot of others. Over all a good movie because the last 20 minutes of the movie where the best. Ended really well.

Naqoyqatsi 3 out of 5, this is a really artsy film. Reeeaaalll artsy. The kind of movie you lie to your friends to and say "oh yeah I got what the director was trying to say".

[CSXLoser]

[Azriel Crusnik]

I bought the "Seven Samurai" directed By Akira it's a black and white film, but It's well directed and the actors aren't that bad. The film is over 3 hours long, but its worth it.
I also read some where that there an anime adaptation of it so I checked ebay and found it although it is renamed "Samurai 7" with 26 episodes. (It is still based on the film) so I bought it. Ill post if the anime is just as great as the the original film.

Yea, seriously. When it got to that point in the film, I was like "Wait... what the #### is going on?!"

[Chronis]

I FINALLY went to see The Dark Knight. It was pretty interesting because I thought the movie was going to end when they got Joker and put him in jail. I wasn't expected the rest after that. Also, I thought Two Face was being set up as the villian for the next movie.

After that, I went to see Tropic Thunder. I really liked it. One of the best comedies I've seen in a while.

[Sayckeone]

####! I just typed up some #### about Munich but I got angry and accidentally deleted it. This movie makes me want to smash my ####ing keyboard. Twenty minutes in and all it is is a bunch of Jews crying about being victims of the horrible Palestinian beasts. #### you, Spielberg! The Israelis are no better Palestinians. I can't describe how angry this movie makes me. I'm gonna go finish watching it while cheering on the Palestinians.

Irreversible - 4/5 NetFlix Stars <3 French cinema.Plays out in reverse, like Memento, but with really chaotic camera works that adds a lot to the film. Dark and seedy, can get brutal at times. Excellently adds insult to injury several times. Can't decide which is more heinous, the events within the film, or the outcome. Monica Bellucci is absolutely gorgeous.

[Towel]

Last one I watched was Chinatown. It was awesome and you owe it to yourself to watch it.

Saw Mirrors. Lots of gore. Typical horror movie, but not a bad one, either. I just don't like how towards the end the movie seems to go Exorcist on you.

[Futomimi]

^ How would you rate the gore?

I almost bought a book about splatter movies today, but it was 10 dollars and I was already spending too much. :cry:

[RayFoxSith]

^I'm gonna give it a 5/5 in terms of gore. There were three scenes that really made me look away (one you can most definitely see in the preview).

[Futomimi]

^ Renting it!

It better be good, Ray.

[RayFoxSith]

Now that I dunno if I can promise you. :P

[Futomimi]

I meant the gore. I probably won't give a #### about the quality of the actual movie.

[Azriel Crusnik]

I watched "High and Low" a black and white film (yes I like black and white films) the language is Japanese with English subtitles. Id recommend it but I doubt anyone here watches old movies.

[Futomimi]

I watch old movies all the time, but I'm picky about which (non-horror) movies I'll watch.

[Azriel Crusnik]

^ I like watching Japanese B/W films only mostly on samurai's though. even though High and Low was a Mystery based movie. If they have the actor Toshirô Mifune it's guaranteed to be good. (at least that's my opinion)

[PhalseProfet]

I went on a Takashi Miike kick over the weekend. I watched Ichi The Killer, Visitor Q, Audition and Gozu.

Tonight I'll be watching Jigoku and possibly Storm Warning for some cheap Australian gore.

[Towel]

Akira Kurosawa is the ####!

[DarkShear]

Akira Kurosawa is the ####!

Good movies indeed.

I have the Kurosawa DVD collection that was limited to 5,000 units. Mine number 1,000 something.

[Azriel Crusnik]

Akira Kurosawa is the ####!

Yeah he is, his movie "Seven Samurai" probably the best movie ever made ,with others of his creations, he really is a legend.

[Sei]

Went watch The Dark Knight with my mom. 5/5. I must say that I thought Batman Begins was completely overhyped and not very good. This, I found completely different, the action was god, the acting (expecially ledgers) was great, the writing was awesome, and I found it an awesome movie overall.

I find it ironic that they didn't kill the joker, probably because they wanted to use him again at some point, I guess Ledger screwed that up though

Even so, I doubt they will mind with the killing they made.

I also see where the flurry of articles saying that this made the republican approach make sense came from. And I will say that sure, the "Batman method" works great, if you happen to be an incorruptible comic superhero without ambitions or interests in a comic book world. A point often overlooked.

[allie_razakel]

HAHA! PROVEN RIGHT!

Johnny Depp to play the Riddler in next Batman film! (http://movies.my.msn.com/features/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1668461)

And the cast for the Penguin is confirmed as well~

[Kain Mare]

^I've heard Depp may take over Ledger's role of the Joker because of his ability to mimic. I can see him playing as the Riddler and quite frankly, a MUCH better job than Jim Carry.

I just finished watching V for Vendetta.

[allie_razakel]

^For some odd reason, I see an image of Willy Wonka in green with question marks all over his suit.

And V for Vendetta is a great movie. I've yet to read the comic though, a wee bit draggy for me.

[Kain Mare]

Comic is better, in my opinion. The movie was fantastic. I just love the under political tones that reflect from World History. XD

I can pretty much picture Depp in just about anything. He's a very adaptable actor.

[punkrocker_271]

just finished Marbury St. Its one of the horror fest movies from 2007 it sucked so much. It was supposed to be about zombies but it was about giant rat monsters attacking people and turning them into other giant rats :x

[Kain Mare]

Reminded me of Cloverfield, which was horrible as well.

[punkrocker_271]

Reminded me of Cloverfield, which was horrible as well.
Lol i have that movie yet to watch it but now I think it was a waste getting it

[Gillian Seed]

ER season 14

[unknown]

I liked Cloverfield, it felt like a roller coaster ride without the roller coaster =\

[allie_razakel]

^ Can't tell whether you actually like it or not like it. 0.o

I like it, reminded of the first Blair Witch. I think not many people enjoyed it because pretty much everyone else is exposed to those typical horror shows. =/

Cloverfield tried a different approach and I must say, it was a very good one. The fact that they were able to depict fear was quite interesting.

I mean, most horror shows focuses on a group of people who either wants to escape and ends up saving the world or they just want to escape and just that. Cloverfield, on the other hand, has a bunch of unfortunate and unwilling people following this idiot who wants to go off to save his girl from an apartment.

It has suspense, and you wouldn't know where those things might strike. And in a way, it seemed more real. To me, I was able to accept it easily simply because it was shot in such a way that it was meant to be on a normal person's level. We all could easily relate to it because that's pretty much how we all would react if something like that were to happen.

So yes, in a nutshell, it has that element of realism in it. That's what makes it exceptional from most horror-monster movies I've watched.

[RayFoxSith]

Revival!!

Just saw Burn After Reading. I enjoyed it. It was very odd, funny at times, and just damn serious. It was a very crazy movie. Not for everyone.

[Dim Locator]

Last night

Maniac
New York Ripper
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Return of the Living Dead
Killer Klowns from Outer Space

I am trying to get through most of my Favorite horror films before Halloween.

[ViolenceJack]

Finished watching the anime series: Utawarerumono
Then restarted where I left off in Samurai 7, watching eps 10 & 11.

I have a stack of unfinished anime, that I've mostly either watched a couple eps of or have watched 2/3rds of >.>

[DevilRy]

Watched Iron Man last night. Not the crapfest I was expecting. Still, the whole "evil Arab,"-thing was kind of ridiculous.

[Dim Locator]

Had a Frank Henenlotter night of movies last night. Now just waiting for Synapse to release Basket Case 3

Street Trash (the tie in is Jimmy Lorinz in case someone can't figure it out)
Basket Case
Brain Damage
Frankenhooker
Basket Case 2

[dragonlife29]

Did a manual search--nothing.

So, what do you guys watch? I recently got into watching TV again after years of neglect (watching certain things here and there), and I usually tune into these:

The Discovery Channel
Dirty Jobs, How It's Made, MythBusters, Deadliest Catch, the various documentaries, and I'm excited for this new series called Time Warp, since I like looking at things on the high-speed cameras.

Animal Planet
The various documentaries, It's Me or the Dog (Season Premiere tonight :D), Weird, True & Freaky, Untamed and Uncut, and sometimes The Most Extreme

History Channel
Cities of the Underworld, various documentaries...hmm...I think that's it.

Food Network
Good Eats (FTMFW), Ace of Cakes, Iron Chef America (sometimes), Everyday Italian (<3), Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, Guy's Big Bite, Tyler's Ultimate, 30-Minute Meals...

Discovery Health
Mystery Diagnosis (so awesome).

FX
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (since day one, baby :D)

I usually only watch TV to learn; learning is always fun :D That's pretty much why I don't watch many shows, with the exception of Sunny.

[True Hollow Demon Kira]

wow me too....except im not that smart...lol

[Kakizaki]

Merged these threads as television was included in it. Please search before making threads....

[marune7701]

Right now it's V Gundam then trying to move onto at the same time with Ramen Fighter Miki

[massaker]

Just saw Oldboy, was awesome even though I didn't really understand what happened... So it would probably be double awesome if you could work out wtf was going on. Saw Pom Poko recently.
Also Deathnote 5 should be realeased here soon. Love the Watchowski brothes films, buying speedracer day one.

[PhalseProfet]

Saw Quarantine over the weekend. I liked it, but now I want to see REC. Most emotions of the uninfected are believable. The shrieks of the infected inhabitants sent chills down my spine.

Earlier this week I picked up the Day of the Dead remake. Not good for much unless you enjoy picking apart bad movies.

Dark City Director's Cut. I loved the original and the director's cut added just enough to the story and characters to make it a better movie.

13: Game of Death/Beloved. I liked this one a lot. Definitely funnier than I expected it to be.

Diary of the Dead. I know it's Romero and all, but since I hold his Dead movies to higher standards than those of remakers and imitators I have to say this is his worst Dead film to date.

Event Horizon: I've seen this one hundreds of times since it was released, but haven't watched it in the past couple years. I should admit that I watched it in anticipation for Dead Space. Still one of my favorites.

The Happening. I know people like to bash M. Night, but I think this is one of his better movies. The gore is there along with the suspense, but the twist is just a little underwhelming.

MOH: Family. One of my favorite MOH along with The Screwfly Solution and The Damned Thing. Creepy and eerie through most of it with a pretty awesome twist.

I've also been watching a lot of Scare Tactics. I love the ones where dudes try to fight and the actors have to hold them back.

[RayFoxSith]

Oldboy

Still need to see that. I always forget about it.

[PhalseProfet]

Oldboy

Still need to see that. I always forget about it.

It's pretty friggin' awesome.

And if you haven't read the manga, that's worth a read as well. Even if you aren't into manga.

[RayFoxSith]

I watched Iron Man Tuesday and V For Vendetta today. Both were very good.

[massaker]

:agree:

Also the eastern eye horror movie The Host is quite good. Although it seems a little like a mish-mash of different genres.
Watched Rattatoulle again. Just as good the second time.
I also want to say how much I like Constantine, again. I like it better everytime I watch it.

[massaker]

Evangelion 1.0 was frickin cool.

[DevilRy]

Blue Sunshine

Always wanted to see that one, never got around to it. Any good?

[bullman422]

The Honeymooners (2005) - starring Cedric the entertainer. Ninety minutes of my life I will never get back. :(

[Tenbatsu]

I just finished watching Eraserhead for the first time while drunk on cheap wine.

Awesome movie.

[RayFoxSith]

Finally saw Interview With The Vampire with friends.

[Olethros]

The wife and I have been watching a crapload of really, really terrible B horror movies lately. The worse they get, the more stubbornly we've been pushing through.

[QBasic]

The wife and I have been watching a crapload of really, really terrible B horror movies lately. The worse they get, the more stubbornly we've been pushing through.
B-Movies are the bomb. Just the other day I was watching Gymkata. Oh, what wacky fun.

[dragonlife29]

Holy ####; I just watched Whale Wars on Animal Planet and I'm hooked! I found my new Friday show (saw the rerun, of course).

[RayFoxSith]

Saw Quantum of Solace. Was pretty good movie. The presentation was questionable, though. The action scenes were so fast and eccentric, I had no idea what happened at times.

[Azriel Crusnik]

I bought the movie "Shinobi:Heart under blade" Its really good (If your into foreign films.
Also recently I bought "Death Note" I was impressed by its capability to stick to the manga (slightly though)

[Camanche]

Dead Space: Downfall.

[Luna]

Trying to get up to date with Soul Eater again...

[Enzo_Kensei]

I'm watching bleach as of now. I'm into anime this days. Looking forward to other movies that are worth watching. :)

[RayFoxSith]

Saw the Dead Space movie and (finally) saw Amadeus. Loved Amadeus.

[sora4126]

(finally) saw Amadeus. Loved Amadeus.

That movie was the one 3 things I liked freshman year of high school. I wanna watch it again.

Anyway, I saw Kung Fu Panda today, pretty awesome movie.

[Enzo_Kensei]

I'd love to watch kung fu panda. :)

[Camanche]

Saw the Dead Space movie and (finally) saw Amadeus. Loved Amadeus.

Yeah, I remember watching Amadeus too in music class. :)

I just watched Kung Fu Panda (great!) and Tropic Thunder (ehhhh...).

[Enzo_Kensei]

Just watched Step Brothers. Lolz...

[Kain Mare]

Loved Amadeus.
I have to agree. Great movie. I own it in my personal collection.

Watching? Hm... I bought the full box set of Shana (I plan to watch it later) and the Box Collector set of Claymore Vol. 1. I saw the Changeling in the movies. I enjoyed the movie and what's-her-face did a great job acting, even though I'm not a fan of her work. Last night, I saw Ghost Hunters on Sci-fi.

Anything else... just random channel surfing. Law and Order on USA and TNT, Animal Planet, Food Network, Discovery, History and the list goes on...

[sora4126]

I have been watching episodes of Jem and the Holograms on youtube. That has got to be one of the best 80s cartoons ever!!

[jeffx]

I only watch TV for The Office and hockey (Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Stars)

Although last night I went to a free showing of The Dark Knight -- what a train wreck (I mean that in a good way) I stopped caring for the plot about 20 minutes in though, totally confused.

Anime, I'm currently watching the wacky Penguin Musume which I discovered because of the equally crazy IOSYS ED theme.

[Azriel Crusnik]

I bought "The Bourne Supremacy" The movies was good I hope "Ultimatum" is just as good.

[Kakizaki]

I only watch TV for The Office and hockey (Montreal Canadiens, Minnesota NorthStars)


Fixed.

[dragonlife29]

Everyone watch The Brain on the 25th at either 8 AM or 2 PM on The History Channel.

Really, really interesting stuff :) It's two hours, but it's so worth it.

[Enzo_Kensei]

Fear Factor... It gives me the creeps.

[ViolenceJack]

Rented a couple movies:

Wall - E (Which was pretty good)

and

Tropic Thunder (Which I'll be watching on Sun. when my younger brother and my sister come over for a pre-thanksgiving meal consisting of pizza and beer :D )

[bullman422]

Akeelah and the Bee. I finally got around to watching this little movie and it was thoroughly enjoyable.

[Arcana]

The last movie I saw at the cinema was "Mamma Mia!" @.@ I just loved it.

TV series? Stargate SG1 and Star Trek Enterprise (the new one).

Now I'm waiting to see the "Max Payne" movie, it shouldn't be too bad...

[DamageCity]

Watching Friday the 13th part 2, I want to watch the 2009 movie but I have the feeling I won't be anytime soon..

[Master Zombots]

Recently, I've seen Coraline, Gran Torino, Eagle Eye, and Disturbia.

[Foryth]

I'm in the process of rewatching Twin Peaks with my girlfriend, and tonight we're going to see Slumdog Millionaire.

[Master Zombots]

I really want to see Slumdog Millionaire; it looks like a great film. I'll probably not get around to seeing it until it is released for purchase though. Have fun, Foryth! :P

[Rikuo]

I recently saw Hancock, and i must say, i've never been this entertained by a Superhero in a while.

[Foryth]

Slumdog Millionaire was great! I recommend it to all my friends. :D It definitely deserves the honors it got, a touching and powerful movie.

[TTBadguy]

This weekend I watched Batman Begins and The Dark Knight again, and I thoroughly enjoyed both as much as the first time. It helps that I'm a comic fanatic because I can see where casual fans would be like "What?" in many parts of both films. Also, looking at the back of the DVD covers pointed out to me how long both films really are. I guess I never noticed initially, on account of liking them so much. Another movie I viewed was Lady in White for the first time (on the recommendation of my roommate) and I found myself enjoying it immensely. Of all the movies I've seen as a child, I have no idea how I never saw that one until a few days ago. Speaking of b-movies (which I probably love more than any mortal should), I watched Santa Claus Conquers the Martians for kicks. That movie is completely ridiculous on so many levels. For one, it has the most effective news coverage known to man. This news coverage was not only able to ascertain that two children were kidnapped by aliens in less than 24 hours, but they also had their complete names to report. For the rest, you're just going to have to be brave and try to trudge through the movie =)

[maddy]

we saw "slumdog millionaire" a while ago and i absolutely loved it. however, it was the only best-picture nominated film that lasted in our town for longer than a week. "milk" and "frost/nixon," both of which i was actually more looking forward to, were gone in like three days.

just saw "coraline" a few days ago and i really, really liked it, too. i wish i could've seen it NOT in 3D, though. i thought it was super cute and fun.

rented "stepbrothers" and "pineapple express," not so impressed with either. really disappointed w/ the second actually, but that is probably just because i was really looking forward to it - i had heard really good things about it. oh well!

[ChaosTheory]

Going back to the Bourne trilogy on DVD, good stuff to watch while at work.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

let's see i hate T.V very much i don't even turn it on but i like movies especially horror movies so lately i've watched grudge 3 a thriller-horror movie very good one but less frightining than grudge 2

[NEOnuts]

can't get enough of House is the only series that didn't dissapoint me after all the seasons it has maybe one or two episodes, not like season 3 of LOST uuugghhh what a bad way to write a series

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

you like house?? yeah it'spretty good

[maddy]

the magic bullet commercial for like .. the millionth time ever.

[Vincent Alexander]

Just finished The Admiral again. Think I'll watch Sword of Doom now.

[Futomimi]

Repo! The Genetic Opera. I normally love ####ty movies, but this was just painful. I got about 20 minutes in and then shoved it back in the Netflix envelope. ugh.

[anbu]

john woo's red cliff movie part 1 and 2. epicness asian sytle~

[Kakizaki]

Between NHL games, college hockey, the MN State High School Hockey tournament, and my nephew's games, I have watched over 25+ hours of hockey already this week, and I still have several days of tournament hockey left...

[Olethros]

^ That's a whole lot of hockey! :o

[Kakizaki]

Tack on another 5 hours for today already. I still have 2 high school playoff games and one WCHA playoff game tonight.....if maddy doesn't kill me or my brain doesn't melt.

[banballow]

Well, I don't know why, but I got the sudden urge to watch Metalocalypse, so Season One DVD it is.

[Futomimi]

bump

Watched Opera today.

WHAT A TERRIBLE ####ING MOVIE. WHY IS ARGENTO FAMOUS AGAIN?

[Foryth]

I recently watched Elegy and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Both movies were pretty good, I was quite pleasantly surprised.

Tonight I'm watching Cobra.

http://www.virginmedia.com/images/1stallone-gal-cobra.jpg

[Delition]

I watched the Wolverine: Origins movie this weekend. Like some people, I hated what they did to Deadpool aside from the beginning, but unlike most people I didn't mind the rest of the movie. It wasn't a great movie, but I feel like it wasn't a complete waste of time. The only downside was that there were very few decent trailers beforehand.

[Elizabeth]

I miss Mystery Science Theater 3000 so much! I watched The Essentials which has Manos: Hands of Fate and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians . Nothing beats watching a human and two robots riff on bad movies.

[Vicious1915]

I miss Mystery Science Theater 3000 so much!

ME TOO!

I watch Judge Judy religiously like she's my own grandma or soemthin'.
I just appreciate good ole fashioned common sense.

Oh, awesome! It's not often I find a fellow Mistie! Did you by any chance get the original volume 10 before it was recalled? I'm still kicking myself for not realizing there would be an issue since they put a Godzilla movie on it.

you'd be surprised how many mst3k fans there are. i am a purist, though, and am lucky that kaki is the same. this house has a strict "NO MIKE" rule.

what i've watched lately: terminator, role models, "in treatment" on hbo, forgetting sarah marshall, i tried to rent six feet under but got disc FOUR instead of ONE... dumb :/

[Vicious1915]

I'll tell ya somethin a friend of mine roped me into:

Bride Wars

I was like...ok...Kate Hudson...Anne Hathaway...maybe...

WORST MOVIE EVER

[Candle Jack]

An old british horror movie called The Innocents

[maddy]

freaks and geeks! marathon!!

[Futomimi]

An old british horror movie called The Innocents

thumbs up!

[Elizabeth]

I tried watching The Descent on SciFi but I just got way too uncomfortable. I can deal with getting scared/grossed out but IRL I can't stand closed-in places where you can't see the sky and can get trapped, so when they mention their lights would be going out soon I'd had enough (and the monsters hadn't even appeared yet!). I flipped back occaisonally but I didn't catch the ending. Since it's a horror movie, and the creatures they were going up against had adapted to that environment, I'm guessing that only two or none of them survived.

[EvilHero]

I watched Never Surrender not too long ago. For those of you who don't know, the cast is mainly comprised of UFC World Champions (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Georges "Rush" St-Pierre, BJ "The Prodigy" Penn, Anderson Silva.)

Sure, they lure you in with all these well known, popular fighters. I figured that the acting would be horrible in this movie (Silva doesn't even speak english...) but I was hoping that the fight scenes would be somewhat entertaining (or at least accurate.)

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c371/SSJVegeta76/NeverSurrender.jpg

Oh how I could not have been more wrong...

As a both a Movie Watcher and MMA fighter, I don't think I could be anymore insulted.

[Steel Greyfalke]

Ideon : Be Invoked

[Candle Jack]

just got back from watching The Hangover, now I'm watching sponegebob

[Elizabeth]

I went to see Up on Friday. Except for the only kid in the theater who wouldn't shut up and of course had to be sitting behind me, I enjoyed it immensely.

[DarkShear]

I've decided to watch all of the James Bond movies. So far I'm up to the 4th movie, Thunderball.

I know, what a genius idea.

[Fatney]

I've been rewatching the first season of Heroes lately, just two more episodes to go. It's not been much more than year since I watched it for the first time, so I'm surprised over how little I remember. It keeps the series just as fresh and exciting as then.

After those two episodes, I guess I'll start watching the second season like I never could do earlier. Every show ever becomes at least worse after the first season, no matter how brilliant the first was.

Also, Sylar is as hot as ever!

[Reynard]

I've decided to watch all of the James Bond movies. So far I'm up to the 4th movie, Thunderball.


Ah, gotta take the bad with the good, eh?

I've been watching watching old episodes of The Avengers. Emma Peel: w00t!

[SlaughterX]

Finally started watching the first season of Mad Men...

[maddy]

nice, slaughter! i <3 mad men.

lately: trying to watch zodiac before i chicken out anddd the food network.

[EvilHero]

I saw Up with my family yesterday.

Very good movie, choked me up a couple times.

[kolaces]

Saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today. Don't really know what I think about the movie yet, but the quidditch was awesome! :)

[SlaughterX]

I would be watching Season 2 of Mad Men if I hadn't got a faulty disc 2... so now I'm watching Season 4 of Lost. I also watched The Unborn today, and it sucked.

[Crow T. Robot]

I watch 'Anchorman' and 'Madea Goes To Jail' quite a bit. I watch a lot of comedies; I also LOVE my CSI (Las Vegas, Miami and New York)

[phineasfool]

Just recently got around to finally watching all 3 seasons of Dexter. Just waiting for the 4th season to start next month.

[Kuzuha]

I recently watched all the Mad Max movies and bought Quentin Tarantino DVD box.

[ViolenceJack]

Saw Push and Watchmen, damn Watchmen was like 3 hours long, but pretty good. Push was meh.

[RayFoxSith]

Just saw Inglorious Basterds. I enjoyed it. Very Tarantino, which is what I love.

[Crow T. Robot]

Saw 'District-9' couple days ago and I REALLY liked it, definitely can't wait to see more from Blompkamp.

[Andy]

Really want to see District 9. The last movie I saw at the theater was Funny People. It was pretty hilarious regardless of the questionable final act.

Looking forward to seeing The Final Destination on Friday. Those movies are always amazingly bad. So funny. PLUS 3D

Show-wise I'm looking forward to season three of Breaking Bad, season four of Venture Bros, and the final season of Lost.

[littlefuzzy1]

I hope it's OK to bump this one, instead of starting a new thread...

I've decided to watch all of the James Bond movies. So far I'm up to the 4th movie, Thunderball.

I know, what a genius idea.
I tried that last year in January, I got up to Moonraker (1979) and got sidetracked. I also watched the 1954 Climax! TV episode of Casino Royale, and the remake to Thunderball, Never Say Never Again.

I've really watched jack on movies this year, I think I just hit ~70, with Revenge of the Nerds (1-4.) I was trying to do a Shaw Brothers marathon in September, but I only got 14 movies done (I was trying for one a day.)

I may have been slow on movies, but TV has been craaaazy! I am around 1300 episodes for the year, I recently watched all of Stargate SG-1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel.

Right now, I am finishing up Yu Yu Hakusho season 4.

[Andy]

October Post-Season Baseball.

I love this time of year.

[littlefuzzy1]

I decided a Porky's marathon would be good today!

[DamnedToBeFree]

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies - 3/5. Would've given it a 2, but it had Powergirl, so yea...

Franklyn - 4/5. I can see why most people might not dig this movie, but I found it to be pretty interesting. Worth checking out at least.

[Soushi_Grapple]

Law and Order: SVU (when its new on NBC) and gf and I are currently doing a run through of OZ as well. X-Files and Judging Amy are on the back burner.

[Macheath]

Gallipoli (1981), Coraline, and The Joy Luck Club.

[bluecactus]

I used to watch a lot of TV shows - Lost, Heroes, Ugly Betty, Prison Break, Gossip Girl... but then they all got bad and I lost interest.

I'm watching a lot of House now though. The episodes are mostly the same, but I learn something from each one so it keeps me glued.

[OmegaZero]

I'm CURRENTLY watching that blasted Bleach movie on Adult Swim... There's sooo nothing on right now... Maybe i'll watch me a bit of Tekkaman Blade...

[littlefuzzy1]

I'm starting off a Christmas marathon... I missed one yesterday, but today I watched the 3 Santa Clause movies...

[DamnedToBeFree]

Adventureland - 3/5. Wasn't sure how to rate this movie. Wanted to give it either a 2 or a 4.

Visioneers - 4/5

The TV Set - 5/5

[Camanche]

I saw Up with my family yesterday.

Very good movie, choked me up a couple times.

I just watched this too!! Loved it. The beginning was particularly sad.

I just finished season 5 of House, can't wait for season 6.

[Kakizaki]

Watched the Hangover last night with Maddy.

[Tivor]

Just watched Avatar on IMAX 3D.

Story was only ok, but at least it was told well in Cameron's capable hands.

Visually, it was absolutely gorgeous. Definitely worth seeing in IMAX 3D, since visual is really the reason you want to watch this movie anyway.

[Andy]

IMAX 3D gives me a major headache, and Avatar looks like a too bright two hour screensaver. Probably gonna skip on it.

I've been watching The League on Hulu. Seriously one of the funniest new shows I've seen in a long time.

[Fatney]

I totally loved Avatar. The story was not great, but everything else was fantastic. They have created an amazing world.

[Camanche]

Dexter.

[Fatney]

I've been watching a lot of christmas movies the past week. Planning to watch A Nightmare Before Christmas before going to bed soon. And watch the rest of Batman Returns, I almost fell asleep while watching it the other day. Also, Home Alone 1 and 2 are both musts.

[Vyse of Arcadia]

I don't watch much in the way of TV, but a couple months ago I did watch the fansub of K-On. It was adorable.

Also, the other day I watched some Arrested Development and Who Framed Roger Rabbit whilst recovering from a hangover.

[DamnedToBeFree]

District 9 - 5/5. Awesome. ####ing awesome.

[Tivor]

Just watched "Daybreakers."

Damn fine movie. Much better than I had expected.

Not quite an A+ material, but I have no problem giving it A- or even A.

[littlefuzzy1]

I'm doing a marathon, I'm watching one movie from every decade today...

So far:
1. A Trip to the Moon (Le Voyage dans la lune) (1902) - Georges Méliès - 14 minutes

Howard the Duck (1986) - 110 minutes
Pom Poko (1994) - 119 minutes
Iron Man (2008.) - 126 minutes

[Andy]

Just saw some MST3K with my little brother. If the laws of nature allowed it, I would bear that show's children.

[Superkenon]

It was the greatest show, for sure. Wish they still showed it on TV, but I guess it became hard to justify giving a 2-hour long timeslot to reruns, heh.

Some old ones are popping up on Netflix now. Is that how you watched them?

[Soushi_Grapple]

Watched Casper (the movie) a few nights ago, watching new SVU tonight.

[Camanche]

Just watched District 9, and finishing season 3 of Heroes. Urgh.

[Andy]

It was the greatest show, for sure. Wish they still showed it on TV, but I guess it became hard to justify giving a 2-hour long timeslot to reruns, heh.

Some old ones are popping up on Netflix now. Is that how you watched them?

A friend of mine has the DVD box sets. I saw SoulTaker. Absolutely hilarious.

[Vyse of Arcadia]

I'm attempting to watch Xenosaga the Animation. But it's difficult, because I hate everything about it.

The games were...well, not exactly great, but still really good. The anime has to take a turn for the better at some point.

[littlefuzzy1]

I've watched my way almost all the way through the Abbott & Costello Complete Universal Collection this month.

Right now, I'm in the middle of Burn Notice Season 1.

How is that show? The TV promos always looked rather interesting -- felt like a throwback to similar shows from 80s and 90s.

Anyhow, I've recently started watching Dexter season 1 on DVD. I like it. :)

I like it... It's got action, comedy, and LOTS of Miami girls in bikinis! :devil:
It's pretty decent, Bruce Campbell is awesome as always, and I've enjoyed Gabrielle Anwar in it.

I bought Lost Season 5 on Bluray at best buy, was on sale for $34.99. Basically Amazon without waiting. The quality of these are the best I have seen so far from the movies I have bought. I definitely plan on owning the entire series eventually.

I'm attempting to watch Xenosaga the Animation. But it's difficult, because I hate everything about it.

The games were...well, not exactly great, but still really good. The anime has to take a turn for the better at some point.

I loved the games but the anime was still medoicre because to me it seemed to focus on the side characters too much.

We bought Tokko and even though we only watched the first episode, it looks awesome. My only complaint is the art is a bit lacking, otherwise interesting.

Sicko.

I'm finishing up season 1 of CSI: NY, and I also have season 2, so that's coming up next.

I'll probably start watching Alien Nation again if I remember where I stopped watching it last.
