How much did I fuck up? She hadn't seen any Monty Python movies. I didn't know it was physically possible to get to 28 without seeing the Life of Brian. (we've since fixed this with some studious movie watching sessions).

Had as similar problem cept spotted early when she missed/glossed over some humour ... she apparently "hated" Star wars ... "the first one was crap .... ", which of course prompted investigation.
"wait .. wut? the first one?"
"yeah the kid and that guy from taken?"
"oh hell no..."
So made a deal I would read all of Harry Potter in direct trade for her watching star wars. So far one down (Watching original edits), also probably going Machete since she fell asleep during Ep.1 at some undefinable point after it got "shit".

Other day had friends over and she commented we had Star Wars S&P shakers ... I'm thinking "Fuck do we? Sweet" .... no ... they are daleks and I am now further prompted to hurry up and finish them with her :P, just finishing off the movie setup in the new pad so good test.
Also when she asked "Is family guy good" advised "for you it won't be nearly as funny"

oh lol.
Tbh, my wife has some redeeming nerd qualities - she grew a Trekkie :s (tng era, so Picard is her captain of choice, which is fine by me). Oh and she enjoyed BSG (though hated Baltar, so when the last scene rolls, she complained through it that she hates Baltar and missed his whole speech that ends the entire show -_-)

The Doctor is waiting in the wings - I'm not sure if we'll ever get around to a communal viewing tbh, but I've only watched everything once, so I'm keen for a rerun starting with Chris Ecclelstein.

Snow White is the biggest let down of the year.... what a fucking limp story...its a walkout movie

[doppelgänger of someone]

"Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"

"Charlize Theron as she is called, people who say otherwise: their tales are tall."



I can ignore the non-sequitar final act (i.e. Snow White magically becomes Joan of Arc o_0) and rate it as "watchable" as long as Charlize Theron is in it.

[Cyberbob]

You can tell its a fantasy movie because we're expected to believe someone thinks Kristen Stewart is prettier than Charlize Theron.


Edit: I watched Mirror Mirror (aka that OTHER Snow White movie) the other day. Pretty enjoyable. Julia Roberts did a decent job.

The boy got me Piranha-3D for Father's day.

Well done that lad.

3D was surely made for such an epic.

It started out with Richard Dreyfus in a boat chasing a fish, drinking beer and singing "Show me the way to go home..." and got so bad it was awesome. And there were boobies. In 3D.

A sad fact but as women get older their boobs lose a dimension and become 2D eh StN?

I'm only halfway through Snow White but it doesn't seem all that bad, not by today's movie standards anyway.

The most off putting thing is thanks to Charlize's voice / accent she's using, I can't shake the feeling she's still playing Rita

I too am halfway and am pretty meh so far. seems like a very similar story to willow but the difference is it is terribadly told.

[Furry Crew]

Snow White was the worst movie I've seen this year. That's saying something because I went to the cinema and paid to watch John Carter too which was truly awful.

Ohh and on the Charlize Theron note. I watch Young Adult this weekend. Wow that way a painful watch. Painful as in like when you watch Bridesmaids or The Hangover the 1st time. Was still a good movie.

finished it and yep it was terrible. the story was so poorly told. for such a basic tale it was so convoluted, there was far far more amazing forest CG then characters being interesting. also the chick who played snow white....front teeth should not be wider then they are long.

[aR Que]

I dunno about all the analysis, i just got bored and stopped paying attention.
'Wait, what, a town is being sacked!?! What's going on!'

[Furry Crew]

Watched Le' Chef a couple nights ago. Thoroughly enjoyable light hearted movie and appropriate LOLs. It is in french though so you'll have to read subtitiles but I'm quite used to watching foreign films.

Jean Reno does great in comedy role for sure.!

[doppelgänger of someone]

A Separation

Gut wrenching family drama like The Road, minus the apocalypse (and minus Charlize Theron). Set in modern Iran, it cuts a lot deeper. Not for the easily depressed.

It seems obvious who the daughter would choose between mom and dad, even if the film did not explicitly show the choice.

[Baxton]

expendables 2.

probably better then the first, certainly even cheesier. not for those that want serious action but I thought it was entertaining if not amazingly made.

edit: it really needed 120% more Jet Li

[blur^]

chuck norris telling chuck norris jokes was pretty epic

how did sniper guy get onto the plane??

he said "we will swing around and pick you up from the other evac point"

[blur^]

yeah but from after saying that they took off like 5 seconds later

unless it was supposed to be a cut to another scene after they had gone and picked up him...pretty sure they were getting chased the whole time

[Baxton]

hahaa arnie screamed "I need a big gun". I think you are digging too deep on this one

[blur^]

yeah i know
but there were two things in the movie that irriated me
that and when they shoot the crap out of the dude and go 'rest in pieces'
the amount of times they run out of ammo could be avoided if they actually remembered they are elite former soldiers who know how to double tap not expend all rounds into one dude

i did like all the CG blood, so much more satisfying seeing someone shot and have red gore spray instead of white puffs of powder

[Cyberbob]

They're already looking at getting Eastwood on for an Expendables 3 cameo. I doubt he can barely hold a gun these days.

[Baxton]

shame kurt russell said no.

I reckon they should get nick cage as the next bad guy. have him hamming it up like a drugged out ham.

[^BITES^]

tango & cash reunion would be awesome

[Baxton]

so apprently nick cage and steven segal signed for the 3rd. they are approaching harrison ford, wesly snipes and clint eastwood.

clint eastwood would be a kickass bad guy.

[dylan]

no, no he wouldn't. did you not see him talking to his imaginary friend at the republican convention?

he has jumped the shark! RIP dirty harry

[Caesar]

I was wondering if Steven Seagal would be asked to join the team.
Problem is tho he'll just use a stunt double for all his fight scenes like he does in all his movies now. Seems like it anyway.

[Nothing]

Steven Seagal has already made his best movie ever:

Ten years ago, maybe. Now... not so much. Unless you think Grandpa Simpson is scary.

[Saladin]

If Stallone brings any chairs, then Clint will tell them off good

[dylan]

Especially if they're lawn chairs

I'd rate it higher. Right up there with "Drag Me To Hell" in terms of fun.
