I'll admit that "Bob Dylan's not dead!" "Isn't he?" "...!" made me laugh.

Speaking of my personal experience watching the movie, I can say I had ten times more laughs viewing it for the second time.
Indeed the Bob Dylan joke was fun but I suspect it was about Paul McCartney in the original script.

Watched The Fly tonight. Really quite a sad movie

Sucker Punch - 8/10
Priest - 8/10
The Adjustment Bureau - 9/10

Transformers 3 tonight at the Drive-In theater. So cool that one of these is still alive and close to where I live, and it's relatively inexpensive to boot. Should be fun even if the movie is shit (which it very probably will be).

Transformers is one of those movies I can simply appreciate for the sfx alone.

I thought the first one was a lot of fun. I couldn't stand the second one.

So Transformers 3 was actually really good. The plot was comprehensible, as were the action scenes! Easily the best of the trilogy, though it was still too long. Plus it was amazing seeing it at a drive-in theater where everyone honked their car horns whenever Rosie Huntington-Whitely appeared on screen

"Michael Bay's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is a visually ugly film with an incoherent plot, wooden characters and inane dialog. It provided me with one of the more unpleasant experiences I've had at the movies."

I'm probably going to end up seeing the third one, but I'm not expecting much.

Rewatching the Boondock Saints I and II, and jizzing myself at the idea of a third sequel coming in the form of a tv show.

Funny, normally I agree with Ebert. Oh well, I liked it aside from its overly long running time and some pretty embarrassing attempts at humor. (It's painful how they squandered Ken Jeong's talents )

I think Ebert's getting cranky in his old age .. I've disagreed with a few of his opinions lately.

Transformers 3. It was awesome.

It was awesomely violent with awesome special effects. It had some cool one liners and some funny gags.

Seeing Optimus Prime go absolutely sick and kill fucking everything (Decepticon wise) was a definite highlight.

These days I like movies where the good guys kill fucking everything with righteous fury.

Nothing says righteous fury better than carving up multitudes your foes with a sword or hoeing into them with a pair of Heckler and Koch MP5Ks spewing 9mm Parabellum like there's no tomorrow.

Of course you have to build it up by making the bad guys really deserve it. Then lock and load and unleash.



Back in the day I used to like arty movies. Then I saw 5 arty movies in a row including that unfunny piece of shit, the Darjeeling Express. The other 4 were equally dismal with dull characters, next to no plot and generally tedious. They didn't even really have endings.

Something clicked on that day and I went back to loving movies for sheer entertainment value and not giving a damn about dull "intellectual" plots, anal characters and all that other stuff.

As someone in Southpark once said, "all arthouse movies are about gay cowboys eating pudding."

So Roger Ebert can go fuck himself.

I like both, I just approach them in different ways, with different expectations.

Not surprised, but still funny.

Transformers 3

Way too fucking long. I had to pee about halfway through. Anyways, the SFX are cool and all, but it's just too much. 15 minutes straight of explosions that really aren't moving the plot forward just doesn't do it for me. It was probably better than the 2nd one, but still nothing to get excited about.

Speaking of Shia LaBoeuf,

Is this the death metal album from MM?

*doesn't know*

Drive Angry - full of . Cage is perfect for roles like this, as long as there's enough OTT silliness surrounding him. And here, there is.
