I would have liked it if the battle between Light and Dark had lasted a little longer. It would have been nice if it was more of a struggle. Maybe it was supposed to be so short because he had been "battling" the dark throughout, but the actual battle was really short.

It was a little scary for a PG movie (like for younger kids), but I don't think it's really scary enough to be PG-13, so I guess PG is a good rating for it.

I adore the books. The movie worries me.

If by "relaxing" you mean "soporific" count me in.

ToD was, and continues to be, a complete waste of everything used for it, starting with the pins used in making the costumes. This was all that, plus a sentimental look back at the days we were talented and had an idea before going on expensive location.

Last Crusade is Sean Connery's film.

I loved him from the first scene. What a piece of work.

But Gwyneth Paltro was amazing.

I saw Kung Fu Panda the other day.

SKADOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVED IT SO MUCH MY TINY HEART WILL BE BROKEN IN TWO IF I DO NOT HAVE THE DVD IN MY GRUBBY LITTLE HANDS WITHIN A FEW MONTHS TIME ^_^.

hectorberlioz · 06-26-2008, 10:13 PM

...thus ended Tessar's life, with his Ultimate Dream unfulfilled. The very next day after his tragic death from hang-gliding, the dvd of 'Kung Fu Panda' was released. The world enjoyed the movie in home theatre, sitting with popcorn and caramel candy, munching as they quoted "Skadoosh" as they got up for bathroom breaks.

Gravestone heading: RIP Tessar: He loved Kung Fu Panda, but alas never got to own the DVD.

See, even though I appreciate that element (homage to a genre), it's not why the Indy movies are enjoyable.

You think about it too much, that's your problem

. You'll be more appreciative when you're older

They were all great. And Paltrow was really good in this. Usually she's Gwynth Paltry, but she was really awesome in this movie.

Bah. JS Bach didn't "break new ground," but his sons did. They still haven't caught up with him

. It doesn't mean everything. Breakthrough can take a backseat when it comes to having an enjoyable Indy movie

Man, I really wanna see Kungfu panda... and I am so getting Ironman to add to my collection.

Nautipus · 06-28-2008, 10:47 PM

Saw WALL E Yesterday....Loved it. Very good mvie, yet another score for Pixar. It was also disturbing in some ways, but I'll let you dwell on that.

Woman, I want to see it as well

Nerdanel · 06-30-2008, 08:48 AM

Tarantino's From Dusk Til Dawn. Hilarious. XD

And, unfortunately, the Doctor Who movie from 1996.. That was so bad.. X) I'm glad the series are a million times better.

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 06-30-2008, 05:49 PM

I too want to see Kung fu Panda.

Goldberry1 · 07-01-2008, 08:42 PM

I saw "Wall-E" and "Wanted" this weekend. Needless to say the first was better by far. (The second only really drew me in with it's promise of James McAvoy

).

b.banner · 07-01-2008, 11:34 PM

i saw The Love Guru which was a very disgusting unfunny movie i laughed like twice the whole time, i also saw Get Smart which was way funnier and more enjoyable. By the way i hated Gwyneth Paltrow in Iron Man

With Ironman, I loved how they didn't spend half the movie expaining Character background and why he chose to be a hero. It, literally, started off with a bang

I'm gonna see Wanted this afternoon. Fiance has been excited bout this one since he saw the first preview. (And I know he's really going to go see Angelina Jolie

)

Gwaimir Windgem · 07-02-2008, 03:37 PM

Good. As far as I can tell, that's the only reason anyone cares about Wanted.

hectorberlioz · 07-02-2008, 03:42 PM

They've already started on the sequel. Not Wanted

Gwaimir Windgem · 07-02-2008, 05:33 PM

Starring Julia Roberts.

hectorberlioz · 07-02-2008, 06:07 PM

Aww, poor Julia!

....NOT!

Btw, Julia Roberts recently said she doesn't wear deoderant.

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 07-02-2008, 10:02 PM

America voted and they don't want her to NOT wear deoderant.

Nautipus · 07-02-2008, 11:44 PM

Went to the midnight showing of Hancock last night. Good, not great. WALL*E was by far the better movie, but it is still worth a watch.

Gwaimir Windgem · 07-03-2008, 11:40 AM

Yeah, I hear Hancock isn't very good. Kind of a shame; I was intrigued by the new take on the superhero thing. The old one gets kind of boring.

lol. It ended up a pretty darn good movie. There could have been a lot less use of the F-word, but it was pretty damn good, although there were quite a few moments of "there's no ****ing way that could happen!"

Like boomeranging a bullet

Even though it looked awesome
