You’ll probably enjoy it if that’s the case. Skyfall had a quite a few callbacks to the earlier movies.
Just watched Wreck it ralph. Was enjoyable and I kinda wish instead of the “game central” being just the arcade, it was like world wide so we could have saw some more iconic characters but still, was a good movie and a little bit tear-jerking.
Objects in this room do not react well to bullets…
I have not seen Skyfall either. Heard some great things about it though.
So a friend of a friend is couch crashing in my living room because he’s depressed that his fiance is leaving him to go live in Georgia (the state in the U.S. not the dinky little country in the buttcrack of Russia) without him. So he notices my expansive movie collection, and decides to go through them. Red was the latest one I actually sat down to watch. Awesome movie, btw.
I was supposed to see Skyfall yesterday, and then we were going to watch the UFC at a sports bar over dinner, but my friend flaked out.
So I stayed home and watched Prometheus. I didn’t think the plot holes were nearly as bad as when people have been complaining about. Yes, there are some glaring WTF moments and plot holes, but they were mostly ignore-able in the grand scheme of things.
Watched Looper last Friday. Was pretty good, other than the fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s eyebrows in that movie freaked me out.
Trainspotting. Best movie ever, I’ve watched it tons of times.
always root for tom cruise in Collateral, hate the ending
You haven’t seen Barry Lyndon…
Great movie indeed.
Last one I saw was “Goldfinger”.
I have watched all the “recent” Bond movies (let’s say from “GoldenEye” onwards) but was still a bit ignorant about the old ones, so I decided to repent my sins and start from the beginning. 
IMO, it is the best 007/Sean Connery-an movie. The “smartest” one, where he has to use his brains the most to deal with each situation. Which is what I would expect from a good 007 movie, and also the reason why I didn’t really enjoy “Thunderball”, or “You Only Live Twice”, for example…
Oh, and I loved this. :3

(response of basically anyone when someone implies that anything “Twilight” related is somehow good)
Before you accuse me of talking out of my ass, I watched the first film.
It.
Was.
Excruciating.
:fffuuu:
I was trying to be a good sport and watch it with my cousin, and it took some serious effort on my part to not MST3K the film the whole way through. At least he had double billed it with what we watched before: “Interview With The Vampire,” which was actually a fucking good movie.
Anything related to it? Meh, I like the one that was just set in the general area, without any other connections to anything other than the zone.
I most recently saw Rise of the Guardians. Very cute movie but I thought that the first part felt really jumbled and rushed. However, it soon settled down and was a decent flick. I enjoyed it but maybe not enough to buy it on DVD/Blu Ray when it comes out. Not sure what movies are coming out in the future that might interest me. Maybe the Hobbit and the Croods. 
Expendables 2. I enjoyed the first one, and this one was a little bit better. The fight scenes were definitely easier to see (the first one seemed so dark).
This post deeply saddened Kristen Stewart
At least in Snow White & The Huntsman she looked like she was trying to act. It wound up being a pretty great movie despite itself.
I thought she lost the acting part of her brain in an automobile accident.
Moonrise Kingdom is the strangest Wes Anderson movie so far. That was… That was weird…
I’m in such an overly queer Christmas mood right now, so…
the animated original is so much better
I think the live action remake would’ve been much better if they had done two things:
- Changed the mannerisms of those loathsome little Whos.
- Different actor for the Grinch.
As to Thing 1, I mean, really. Look at the Whos in the live action remake and compare them to the cartoon Whos. The cartoon Whos were happy that Christmas was coming but didn’t really mind when all the trappings were stolen. They congregated in the town square and sang anyway. Bunch of tirelessly happy little seamonkeys. The live action Whos? Boy… They were rude, they were obnoxious, they were mean. If I hated Jim Carrey’s Grinch, I hated the live action Whos THAT MUCH MORE.
As to Thing 2, need I say more? Maybe if they toned down the Carreyisms…like…almost completely, he could’ve done well but the Grinch was supposed to be mean and, instead, they turned him into almost a fun-loving creature and it just became annoying real quick. And when he was supposed to be mean to Cindy Lou Who (who was way more than two), he might have just said “Boo!” and gave her some Halloween candy. He wasn’t the Grinch. He was Jim Carrey in a Halloween costume.
I understand that they had to expand the story for the purposes of filling a movie but such a drastic change from the original cartoon left me feeling betrayed after the movie. I didn’t like it one bit.
You confused me for a moment there, talking about Thing 1 and Thing 2 in reference to a Dr. Seuss story.
