So, I've been ruminating on the movie Tron: Legacy. It helps that I've been listening to the Daft Punk-helmed score for a couple weeks now. At any rate, the movie hooked me at a core level, and I would have geeked non-stop about it after seeing it with Courtney if we weren't riding with her Mom. But as time passes, some less flattering points arise ( Read more... )

( SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ UNTIL YOU SEE THE MOVIE! )

We watched Cannibal Holocaust last night.

( Cut for spoilers and disturbing commentary )

We got the in-laws to watch the Kohai while we went out to see a movie! These are so few and far in-between, that they're solid gold. Down side is that there was crap to see in the cinema this week. Our best bet was to take in some real pulpy cinematic schlock, to maximize our entertainment dollars (did I mention we saw it on comp tickets we got ( Read more... )

A while back, I posted segments from Nathan Rabin's My Year of Flops blog, when he took on Battlefield Earth ( Read more... )

First of all, Friday was a major orgy-thon of Avatar: The Last Airbender at our place. The third season of the show was beginning on Friday night, and since we had just finished the first season on Netflix, and had the second season on the queue, we decided to up our stakes. Tygress bought the first two seasons on DVD (not cheap), and we sat for ( Read more... )

One of my favorite film critics is Nathan Rabin of The Onion AV Club. I find his wit to be singularly remarkable. He's made me laugh out loud at work too many times to admit. In any event, on his blog, he's doing a year of flops, where he takes more time (and word count) to leisurely skewer famously foetid film fodder ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention, I went out to see the movie "Sunshine" on Friday. It was one hell of a tight movie. I'm fairly biased, though. I have to admit... I love me some science fiction. More than that, I love a really good spaceship movie. There's just something about a movie set in space that really gets me excited ( Read more... )

Ok, I got an email from my best friend from growing up. He and I were the gods of Transformers back in the 80's. They were our obsession. We went to the animated Transformers movie together. Close memories. He told me he thoughts on seeing the movie, which urged me to respond with my thoughts. After almost a week of having seen the movie, I think ( Read more... )

Hope everyone had a good 4th!

I started by taking off just a leetle early on July 3rd, to meet tygress1313, lotuslion, and 5thhouseruler at Uncle Julio's Rio Grande for din-dins, followed up by BIG EFFIN ROBOTS. So, we did that. After the movie, I really have to admit, there's a lot of problems with that movie, which hung with me after the movie was over. Right after the movie, I ( Read more... )
