they cut away long enough for him to put them back up I guess.

The nuke destroyed his skin+follicles which restored to their previous state when he healed, but the haircut just cut hair.
X-men 1. Despite being aged in some ways, such as CGI quality, and having a few story oddities here and there, it still holds up pretty well and is as enjoyable as it was back when I first watched it.
Wolverineās claws still look better than they do in Origins.
Titan AE. Good movie, but the CGI was extremely jarring at times. It made me want to watch Iron Giant again, but itās not on Netflix.
Also, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Also pretty cool, but a bit excessively dark, and also color-corrected. I mean, was the thing with people falling from the space elevator five minutes after it blew up really necessary? They even made squishy noisesā¦
And they color-corrected the blooper reel, what?
I appreciate the bodies falling from the space elevator. Thatās some Halo novel caliber shit right there. Thatās the kind of brutality Iād expect from an actual Halo movie adaptation, and something Iād want out of a Halo game one day.
As for the color correctionā¦ I think someone forgot to tell these guys that they were making a Halo movie. Other than that, I didnāt like it that much. I mean, every action scene was skipped and replaced with ācharacter runs towards the camera in slowmo while debris and bullets fly by from the left side of the screenā. The only scene I really liked was the camoād elite smashing into the dorms and getting closer and closer to the protagās room.
just saw upstream color the new movie by the guy what did primer its rly rad
Watched the extended version of Once Upon A Time in America yesterday. Itās a shame that with these old movies getting restored footage that that footage is of such poor quality. Still love the movie though. I understood it much better this time.
Edit:
I went and watched Elysium just the other day. Not quite as good as District 9 I didnāt think but still very good. I love high tech and sci fi in seemingly non sci fi settings. Like you look at the Earth setting of Elysium and it looks like a really run down poor place but there are space ships and exoskeletons and robots and stuff there. Even Elysium, while being a space station, doesnāt look all that sci fi but thereās still high tech stuff everywhere. District 9 was similar. I felt that Matt Damonās acting was kind of poor though, but it wasnāt that big a deal. The guy the played the main character in D9 was someone in this movie too and I didnāt even recognize him until I looked it up afterwards. Heās a really good actor and it looks like heās going to be in Blomkampās next movie too.
Yeah, I mean Sharlto Copely and Niel Blomkamp go back to Highschool. Theyāre probably always gonna be involved in each otherās shit.
The moment Sharlto spoke I know who he was. I didnāt recognize him in the commercials though, so good job looking completely different in all his movies. Heās turning into a beast of an actor, and Iām loving watching his metamorphosis.
How do you miss that? Did he not have any speaking lines or something? I remember him having quite the accent.
He spoke quite a bit. But he looks completely militarized this time around, which is a total shift from District 9 and The A Team.
Manos: The Hands of Fate. (The MST3K version, thankfully.)
Iām really at a loss for words here.
Maybe I didnāt recognize his voice because I hadnāt watched D9 for quite a while. I actually thought he sounded Australian while watching the movie 
.
That episode was brilliant.
I love that they actually performed an entire sketch during the movie without even skipping anything.
Also, āevery single frame of this movie is like someoneās last known photo.ā
G.I. Joe Retaliation. Entirely forgettable. I think their effects budget was cut at some point too (probably to pay for the Rock). Aside from destroying London, there wasnāt much going on visually. Sure, there were a lot of effects, but most of them were pretty small affairs compared to how much was going on in the first movie.The cast was drastically reduced from the first movie as well. I was generally unimpressed by everything that happened.
Thatās weird because your description makes me want to see it even more :s
I love small scale action.
Also I just watched Manos: Hands of fate (mst3k style). My god, thatās the worst movie Iāve ever seen them do. I watched it on Amazon prime, and thereās a fucking retrospective biographical documentary about that goddamn movie. Iāwhy
It was fine for the most part, but in the climactic battle it looked like they were using close and tight camera angles to hide the fact that they didnāt want to pay for a big battle. I bet they only made one HiSS tank, and were trying to hide that.
Also, they didnāt show the Joe base, only five characters returned from the previous film, the list of 100s of Joes was cut down to 5. It seemed off to me.
I know. Itās just well and truly, astoundingly bad. It makes you wonder who actually agreed to make it.
Also, I watched avatar again. Jake Sully makes for one remarkably sexy alien.
Ramirezoid, stop hacking Pyro
I most recently watched a relatively unknown film with a lot of big name actors (Sylvester Stallone, Tim Curry, Don Ameche, Marisa Tomei, Chazz Palmenteri, William Athertonā¦) by the name of āOscarā.
It is a screwball comedy with Sylvester Stallone (!) at the lead as a 1930s gangster (!!) who promises his dying father (Kirk Douglas) that heāll āgo straightā. This promise turns out to be the worst decision in his life, for, as soon as he decides to āgo straightā, he decides to invest his substantial amount of money (from gangsterism) in a local bank to become essentially a partner.
On the day that he is to meet with the bankers, his only daughter decides to play a trick on her father by claiming sheās pregnant so that she can marry āOscarā, Stalloneās ex-chauffeur; his bookie (āAccountant!ā) decides to announce that heās asking for his daughterās (āno, not that one, the other oneā) hand in marriage and that he stole over $50,000 from him (to give to his daughter); he has to meet with two tailors in between all of this to fit him with a suit; he has an elocution lesson (because itās Stallone)ā¦and thatās just the start. Things go from crazy to insane as identical bags begin to get switched, one with the stolen $50,000 in jewels, one with a maidās undergarments, and several others.
Meanwhile, the police, unconvinced that heās going straight, stake out his place and become convinced that heās restarted his life of crime.
Itās a crazy movie but, in my opinion, a great comedy and everyone in the movie, including Stallone, is perfectly cast. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that likes screwball comedies.
