I will attempt to see Thor for two reasons:

1.  Kat Dennings is in it, and she is unfreakingbelievably beautiful.

2.  In vain hope that the sequel will be Beta Ray Bill and we can see an orange horse throwing hammers at people in space.

That would be freakin' awesome.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Beta Ray Bill is a far more interesting character then Thor, I'd love to see some proper Space stuff with himself and even the silver surfer.

Reviews on Thor from people who've seen it have been generally positive.

I may try to find time next week to catch it.

The reviews I read gave it a hammering.

Honestly.

I read a couple of reviews that said the reaction was thundering applause.

Anyways. I finally saw Kick Ass today. It was good, not quite what I expected, which I think was more humor. It actually gets quite serious and violent, which was a nice spin.

Scott Pilgrim VS The World, however, is now probably in my top 10 movies of all time. It's fucking amazing.

'I need to pee on her' is the best example of something funny that is super hard to explain being turned into a clear and quick joke.

YAY IT'S THIS THREAD!!!!

Survive Style 5+ is the most interesting nonsense I've seen in ages. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEH7nDkiPEk

Quote from: imdbA man continually trying and failing to get his wife to stay dead; a self-absorbed ad agency creative director who comes up with one unworkable inane idea after another; a British hitman who only wants to know everyone's function in life; and an unfortunate office worker and father whose brain is left scrambled after a stage hypnotist is murdered in mid-performance. Starting off as unrelated plot lines, they intertwine with each other as they continue on their respective ways.

If any of it had a point then I missed it.

I hated it apart from that guy sat on the ziggurat throne. Never seen anything more pretentious.  :lol:

Yeah, but people in general are retarded.

I agree with Faust that it looks bad, but I may still check it out.

Anyway, I recently saw The Lincoln Lawyer on DVD and I would suggest if you want a competent legal thriller to give it a go.  Matthew McConaughey plays his part well, and though you'll probably figure where the ultimate ending of the film is going to go, it is interesting to see how it gets there.  It's not brilliant, but it doesn't have to be in order to compete with most films out currently.

I've found that people that hate it haven't put any significant time toward playing video games or reading graphic novels in their life. Not saying that this is a BAD thing, but it's definitely aimed toward a specific genre of geek.

It references a lot of stuff, and while it has its own narrative the full story doesn't come across as well as it did in the comics, of course it never could given the amount of material and the average length of a film.
I loved it, but there are too many geek references for wide appeal.
