I know, bad taste. Who cares?

*cough cough cough*

The Love Guru? How could anyone NOT leave the theater during that film!

**Mari** · 12-10-2008, 11:32 AM

Well, that was quite easy actually: I wasn't in a theater, so I couldn't leave it either

Meriadoc Brandybuck · 12-10-2008, 10:50 PM

Iron Man: Very awesome.

hectorberlioz · 12-10-2008, 10:52 PM

It was

***Tessar*** · 12-13-2008, 04:27 PM

I just saw Get Smart, and I thought it was hilarious in a somewhat subdued way. I loved how most of the jokes weren't hammered into the ground like most parodies like to do... like when

he accidentally swallowed the knockout dart, they didn't spend forever beating it into the ground... some parts they did, like the little crossbow on his knife shooting out a zillion bolts that all hit him in the face.

Overall though, I thought it was really well done.

And I do adore Anne Hathaway

Yeah, that movie was so funny.

The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice -- It was okay. As far as vampire movies go, it has nothing on Twilight.

**Mari** · 12-13-2008, 05:00 PM

I watched it with my family. I was the only one who thought it funny and the rest walked out halfway through...
I liked his dry manner.

**Mari** · 12-14-2008, 03:45 PM

Prince and the Pauper a BBC-series. It was pretty good, worth a few tears here and there and has a happy ending.
Sad to think that in reality the boy only got to reign for 5 years before he died.

Grey_Wolf · 12-14-2008, 03:49 PM

Have just seen Stardust - a very good fantasy adventure movie, imo, just the kind of film I like.

**Mari** · 12-14-2008, 05:03 PM

The book is better IMHO. Actually, when I watched this film the first time I was like "Didn't I see this before? No, it's quite new. Then why do I know this already!?" and then I figured out I read it. I think it's by Garth Nix. I'm fairly positive the books are on the N-shelf in the library anyway. I can see it in my mind.

***Earniel*** · 12-14-2008, 05:53 PM

Neil Gaiman is the author you're thinking of. At least you have the right initials, just mixed up.

I've read the book but still have to see the movie.

**Mari** · 12-15-2008, 07:52 AM

Isn't his pseudonym Garth Nix though? If I weren't too lazy, I'd look it up

***Tessar*** · 12-15-2008, 08:10 AM

I don't think so. I googled it, and it said Garth Nix is not a pseudonym, but apparently the author's real name.

**Mari** · 12-15-2008, 08:35 AM

Hehe, then I guess I was wrong

Thanks Tessar.

Acalewia · 12-15-2008, 02:16 PM

Hancock was lol funny. Hubby and I both just about died laughing.

I've been wanting to see that. Everyone who has mentioned it to me has told me it is a very good movie. Plus, it's a kid movie right? I go in for kid movies these days. I don't take "serious" movies very seriously anymore.

Nope, both are two different fantasy writers with both very different writing styles. Neil Gaiman wrote Stardust, and other books you may know like American Gods and Coraline. Of Garth Nix I only know Sabriel and the other books of the Old Kingdom Trilogy. (They're quite good, I thought.)

**Mari** · 12-16-2008, 01:42 AM

Yup, they are nice. The sort of story was IMHO not that different though. If I remember correctly there were more stories with this Wall between two worlds.
Hector, I have Stardust, do you have it too?
