Really???

That looks absolutely [expletive] retarded but it's Tim Burton so he'll get a pass.

Now "Betsy Ross: Dragon Jockey" would be much better.

I haven't seen it, but just about every critic I trust that went to SXSW has a boner for that movie. I think Cabin in the Woods is supposed to be great as well.

I was talking to my brother the other day and he was raving about both of them.

I've heard good things about The Raid. Anyone seen it yet?

I'm not really sure what I just watched, but it looks badass nonetheless.

The premise is that a bunch of cops from an elite squad in Jakarta, Indonesia are storming into a high rise run by a notorious crime lord to take him down. He's expecting them.

Actually it's Timur Bekmambetov, which does sound like a ridiculous alias Tim Burton might use if he were booking a hotel room.

To me it sounds like a great b-movie with too large of a budget.

I saw this preview before Hunger Games in Springfield, IL. For those of you that don't know, Springfield is heavily Lincoln-centric - the tourism is almost solely from all the Lincoln sites; his house, grave, presidential museum, etc.

I don't believe there will ever be a film that offends a single, small city more after the groans I heard in that audience.

[thrill]

Hunger Games was dumb and boring.

GREAT. I'm about to take my girlfriend to see it. She's read all the books and it all she talks about.

I have no desire to see it so I'm just doing it to be nice.

I better get a handy later.

[AdmiralKird]

You're dumb and boring. And you have two names.

Hunger games was surprisingly good. There were a lot of tweeners in the theater, but it had more of an adult feel to it, which I liked.

I thought the rule change was a bit hokey however, but that was in the book so there's nothing that could be done about that. I also thought the random creation of a mutant animal was silly. But, I guess if you can have real fake fire then you can have pitbullhipposhreks.


Also, Cabin in the Woods is gaining momentum....really psyched about that movie.
