darkon Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Because GPS sort of demanded it. Post movies that you plan to watch in the near future and maybe get some people's reactions beforehand to see if they are worth buying/renting/even watching. I finally rented Tae Guk Gi. I like history, and this is apparently very good and relatively accurate to history. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I assume this is only for movies that we haven't seen before. Because I've been thinking about Serenity all day, but I don't need any responses to it because I've seen it before and I know that I love it. That being said, I don't have plans to watch any new movies right now. I might look into some of Kurosawa's films that aren't period films at some point in the near future, but right now I'm focusing on getting into comics. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well I just got a checking account and the first thing I got was a subscription to Netflix. My first two movies arrived today, "Mississippi Mermaid" and "Badlands." I got "Badlands" because my dad (who has very good taste in movies) absolutely adores Terrence Malick's work. My decision to rent "Mississippi Mermaid" was based on the fact that Truffaut directed it and Lindsay's suggestion that I see it . Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 i might watch gummo this weekend Link to comment
Belial Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Elizibeth, since one of my roommates has been ranting about it for weeks and I finally rented it for her. Link to comment
darkon Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Netflix is sending me North By Northwest, one of the few Hitchcock films I haven't watched. How does it rate compared to Rear Window, Vertigo, etc.? Link to comment

Dead Man I need to see all these movies in the near future to get ideas for the western movie my friend mike and I are writing. Don't forget to watch Brokeback Mountain. Oh, and I want to watch the Star Trek movies, all of them, in order soon. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Oh, and I want to watch the Star Trek movies, all of them, in order soon. PARTY AT CERAZIEFISH'S! Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Indeed. It'll be a follow up to the recent Mad Maxathon I had. Of course, Star Trek is obviously going to take longer. So I'm going to need a weekend... Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 AND BAWLS, BUY BAWLS Link to comment
darkon Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Star Wars took me 14 hours and that only had 2 crappy movies to sit through. Trek has 3, or 4, depending on who you talk to. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 But the Star Trek bad movies are WATCHABLE BECAUSE IT'S STAR TREK. It's like when DS9 comes on and you're like: "Oh, man. DS9 is on" But you watch it anyway. Link to comment

Gundampilotspaz Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Well, I think Episode One and a few parts of Episode Two are watchable. Thats just because Picard is in them! Link to comment

Oerlikon Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 RD, if you want a great Western movie, watch the Wild Bunch. Best shootouts ever filmed!.... Link to comment
Wind Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'll probrably goto see 'Dave Chapelles Block Party' when it comes out (friday?), and I will also goto see V for Vendetta. I enjoy finally being 17 since I can goto these things without hassle or parental units. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I actually kinda like DS9... More than Voyager, anyway. As for the Star Trek movies, I haven't seen the first one in too long to remember. Wrath of Khan is, of course, excellent. Search For Spock is fun but not as good as II or VI. Voyage Home is just hilarious. Plus it's the first one I ever saw. Final Frontier is silly. Don't like it too much, but I'll watch it for the sake of completeness. Undiscovered Country is probably the best. Generations is okay. About on par with Search for Spock in terms of my feelings on it. Well, I think I like Search for Spock more, because it has Klingons. First Contact is the best of the Next Generation movies. Insurrection is Insurrection. And Nemesis is interesting, but green. Oh so green. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 That's probably the best description of Nemisis I've ever read. Link to comment
Battle_Pope Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Don't forget to watch Brokeback Mountain. yeah... no. I read the short story where it came from, not worth it. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Oh it's not like you can judge the quality of a film from the quality of the source material. Link to comment
Battle_Pope Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'll judge anything I want, thank you. Link to comment
Wind Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Odd, I really really really like Generations. It's my second favorite behind First Contact. Link to comment
