Random movie talky stuff.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

Yeah Oni, I'll agree with you on both Sherlock Holmes and Clash of the Titans.
I was actually rather happy with how Holmes turned out. I expected another popcorn action blockbuster type movie, as the trailers showed. The fact that there was a mystery behind it all made it for me. I'm glad I went to see it.

Clash of the Titans does look awesome. As far as I know they are going for an 'R' rating (in the U.S., so that could be almost anything outside the states cause its fairly easy to get R ratings there) so I'm curious to see how it plays out.

As a sidenote on ratings, I'm entirely unsure of how they work outside the U.S. and Canada. Canada seems to be much more lenient. For example, Saving Private Ryan was R in the states (which is like, no one below 17... perhaps they're allowed in with an adult), but in Canada, it was 14A (no one under 14 without adult accompaniment).
So, how lenient are the ratings in say... the U.K. (as that seems to be one of the larger areas of the forum goers), or other European countries. I'd ask about Australia, but I'm afraid that Bambi would be rated 18+ or something because the mother gets killed. Though of course, that kind of censorship may just be towards Video Games... and A cup breasts.

Yeah, I definitely want to get my hands on FF:ACC. Now that I have a blue ray player (sorry, I hate watching stuff on my computer), I just need to find the thing and it's all good. Actually, one store has it, but I hate buying from them on principle, so I'm either going to shop around or go online for it, heh.

Ratings are a funny thing. Our big theater here is that with R movies, no one under...16 or 17 gets in without parental consent (I dont' think the parent has to be there, just give consent, I dunno.) and no one under 12 (I think) is allowed into an R rated movie after 6pm. I think that's just their rule though, not an all encompassing one.

The ratings in US and Europe are pretty much same, I think. Except US gives higher ratings for nudity and sex and Europe for violence. Within Europe the ratings are generally close in different countries.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

So yeah, pretty fucking late on this one, but since when has that stopped someone?

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Just saw the thing in parts on youtube. I really don't like this movie. Yeah, it has some decent parts, like when the 'Terminatrix' was naked, and the part at the end where AHNULD... err, Arnold shoves the Hydrogen core or w/e it is into her mouth, you can actually see the terror on her face... but other than the fact that this movie has nice graphics, I don't really like it. Maybe it's because I preferred the open-end ending of Terminator 2, maybe it's because the first half of this movie feels like they're simply trying to re-create the memorable scenes from the first couple of movies... something about this movie just hurts me. It feels like they simply made the movie in a last-ditch attempt to capitalize on AHNULD before he became the GOVANATOR and couldn't do any more movies, or perhaps they felt they NEEDED to show us that 'Yeah, Judgement Day happens. No questions, it happens. What, you thought that because they destroyed the beginnings of Skynet in T2, that it was over? Pssh, bitch, please, you can't escape FATE.'
It really just feels like the set-up to the next movie, or even a television series, that shows us how they win/lose the war.
It's really not a bad movie, but to me, I just don't like it. It just feels so... forced, like they felt they HAD to make a third one.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

Real quick, I think you're talking rise of the machines, salvation was the newest one

but yeah it sucks

 

[Kusanagi]

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

Why so I am. Thank you, Toxic!

I guess it shows how much I stopped paying attention to the Terminator stuff after I saw the previews for this movie and the 'Sarah Conner Chronicles' series.

Dammit, now I have to add another movie to my list to watch, and possibly rant on long after the fact.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

Salvation was pretty badass though. Watched it in school a while ago, and was like FFFFFFFFFFFF- at the badass factor. I mean - they had motorcycle android things that did flippyfloppy spinsy shit! Not to mention everything else about the movie was badass.

after his face-cameo on the 800-series in Salvation, and this cameo - plus I remember hearing about him saying he was going to get back into acting after his Governation is over

Oh here's the movie thread.

So why wasn't this stickied and that shitty thread oni made WAS? This thread purged and I made a new thread because I didn't know that this one even existed. Meanwhile, nobody seems to give a shit about oni's thread anymore.

I hate self proclaimed megathreads, and I especially hate when they're fucking stickied. I'm taking this one to the hate thread.

its not like anyone reads stickied threads anyway. normal threads are for real men, where they live or die instead of sitting it out by the sidelines.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

Terminator 3 was the first one in the series to be done by someone other than James Cameron. And it really fucking shows. I hated Terminator 3, it needlessly brought the series back. That said, I've really enjoyed Sarah Conner chronicles and Terminator Salvation was actually rather good (Sam Worthington did a damn good job in it I think), partly because in my mind I don't blame those two follow-ups to Terminator 3 for unnecessarily rebooting the franchise. Hell Sarah Conner chronicles even goes so far as to set up its plot to overwrite Terminator 3. At which point I cheered.

The series also has Summer Glau in it for you Firefly/ Serenity fans.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

This guy will be Captain America in the upcoming film:

Spoiler

He may be recognized as the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four films. How can he be that guy and this guy? He can't, so he's lucky the FF films don't count.

This guy will reportedly be playing the Red Skull:

Spoiler

This is a good sign. Hugo Weaving's kind of a badass.

 

[Pheonix Alugere]

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

Yeah, I can never remember that guy's name, so I always end up calling him agent smith.

 

[dmronny]

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

Really, I had seen who they chose for Captain America. Didn't realize Hugo Weaving was going to be the Red Skull. I'm actually more interested in the movie now, especially since the Cap was one of the only superheroes I ever read the comics for.

movie did, it'll probably turn out okay.

..... well, maybe they can keep the 'Sike, Hitler' bit >.<

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

I demand the "Psyche" Hitler bit be in the new one just because it's hilarious.

EDIT: That Captain America movie doesn't count. It was co-produced by Yugoslavia, that disqualifies it for being taken seriously as a film.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

So 7 evil exes count as the world now, huh?

I'll probably watch it when it comes out on Netflix or something, doesn't look like something I'd just HAVE to see in a movie.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

Another movie with that Superbad guy in it? Playing an ackward teenager? Fuck... I'm just annoyed with awkward characters anymore.

Other than that, the movie just seems a little silly for my tastes. Personal opinion.

 

[Newbie]

Re: Random movie talky stuff.

I've no love for the lead actor, but it seems like an amusing concept and the style of the thing kind of made it for me. Also, it's based of a comic book that doesn't suck, and the creator is supposed to be fairly well involved in the movie.

Superbad Guy desperately needs a role that is anything other than akward teenager, but this is fairly unlikely.
