I think I made it about the first 15 minutes or so before I lost interest and wandered off.
I saw the trailer. That was more than enough.

With a name like that, you kind of know what you're getting into from the start :squint:
Sort of like "Snakes on a Plane"...

There are thousands of movies, and tv shows to watch. Don't buy DVDs you will never watch again. I often watch tv on my I phone from netflix, Hulu Plus when I am waiting on other people.
Just a suggestion. if the $15.00 frisbees gives you amusement, then i accept that. You are a grown adult with one fukkin cool ride.

I will show you how to burn off 2 months of tread in 2 seconds. I have a feeling you already know how to do that. I also love to blow shit up.

Ah dunno, watching Indiana Rick Solo in a Western version of Star War of the Worlds was interesting but then I kinda like hokey movies with crappy CGI. Yesterday it was Shartopus, tomorrow Zombie Apocalypse? Now playing on Sy Fy another that stinks on ice, Stealth followed by... oh no... Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

I saw the trailer. That was more than enough.Yeah.. I felt the same way.
Also that new movie 'Battleship'. Could they have demonstrated less of a plot via their advertising? I heard they barely recouped 10% of their costs with that mess. :lol:
I was looking forward to Cowboys and Aliens, it looked interesting, and had both Spielberg and Harrison Ford involved. Well, Harrison Ford usually pans out, hes a great actor, but S'berg has been pumping out butt sausages lately. A dog poops, he stamps his name on it and off it goes...no bueno.
I thought it was going to be good from the first 20 minutes, it was cool...then it started to slip until it became ridiculous. I left feeling like i just watched a made for tv movie on Sci-fi channel...bad.
Battleship just looked stupid from the get go, i never even considered stepping foot in a theatre to see it...turns out everyone was right. Rhianna couldnt save it, her role looked gratuitious and melodramatic. Not to mention, only the good ol' US of A is allowed to kick the aliens asses and save the day. Im glad it bombed, very telling of society, i feel good about that.
Wrath of the Titans was campy, but they never alluded to being anything other than that. So, with that in mind, it was pretty good. I heard the Avengers was good, but i dont know how much more comic book remakes i can take! I am interested in Prometheus, however...hope it doesnt suck.

I seem to recal seeing it here a month or so back. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but then I am easily entertained.

Some of my favorite sci-fi movies are not very popular. My all time favorite is DARK STAR. It is about a crew on an aging, falling apart ship armed with bombs that talk. The bombs are powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. They are on a mission to blow up "unstable planets". Worth the download.

Indeed! We share freely on the island.
I got 'butt sausage' from when we took our dog to the vet and forewarned him that she was going to pump some sausages into his pocket out of fear if he kept holding her the way he was...so he quickly put her down.
I hardly have time for TV. My entertainment is a peculiar little hobby called amateur radio.
Its good to leave the house and see a movie. I had a great weekend of ham radio, but im also married to a non-ham, she likes to get out every so often.
The kids make it a bit complicated here. We'd have to get a babysitter and all that. Maybe we should.
I also don't like the cell phone users convention that goes on in every movie theater these days. Talking isn't the most annoying, texting is!
Its well worth it to get the babysitter, mommy/daddy time is great, but husband/wife night is equally as important...get out and date, consider it a "team building exercise". :lol:
Texting is irritating in the sense that its like a bunch of flashlights fluttering about in a dark room. Turn that shit off, the silhouette lady on the screen, you know the one with all the popcorn and suggestive floating hot dogs around her, is telling you to...take the time to do so while that big candy roller coaster clip is running. Also, we wait to go see a movie until its been in theatres for over a week, the crowds have died down by then.

POS move,I ejected it after a few minutes ,and sailed it like a frisby!!!You'd think that considering all the stuff he's been in since American Grafitti, he wouldn't need the money that badly.
And if he is tired of acting, I hear he used to be a decent carpenter.

Loved that movie, despite the cheesy SFX. Hard to believe it's almost 30 years old.
You do know that Dan O'Bannon, who co-wrote & starred in this, went on to write Alien, Aliens, Total Recall and a whole bunch of other stuff?
