You need to remind us of these things, we don't have a shared Google Calendar for forum birthdays!
Yet?
Maybe?
I can't figure out how to add my birthday to it...
It's Nov 3rd, by the way, close to yours double-o.
And I was born in the year of the Tiger...
I'm just a big fan...
Granddaughter. Any True Blood fans here? LOL
I'm from the states, by the way - a good old midwesterner from Ohio. And I thought it was bullocks. But like 005 said, to each their own!

Captain America
[...]but the point was gotten across that Cap was everyone's friend and just a nice guy.
SNORE!
I'm not sure what everyone's problem is, I freaking loved this movie. I'm putting it up there with Iron Man in the Marvel Universe pantheon. Something about having a hero that was actually heroic, a villain who did villainous things, and actors who took it seriously made it pretty awesome.
Boooo! You say that seeing this "nice guy" boyscout superhero is a breath of fresh air from the recent brooding hero's we've seen, but that's exactly what Iron Man was, only Favreau and Downy Jr. did it well. I'm sorry, but this movie was boring as shit.
And hell, maybe it isn't fully the movies fault. I've got nothing against Joe Johnston, and Chris Evans proved in Sunshine that he's not completely useless. But I'm sure there's a reason they never made a Cap movie before now (that wasn't straight to video) - he's just not a very interesting character. There isn't any real dynamic, nothing's at stake. We know right from the beginning of the film that he's going to win, kill Red Skull (who looked stupid IMHO), and somehow get frozen for 70 years!!
Of course, there's also the fact that this movie was forced out and most likely rushed to theaters before the Avengers movie comes out next spring. Again, not the movies fault, but it's kind of obvious. It was the same case for Thor a couple months ago - the movies just don't have any reason to be there, they're completely unnecessary additions to the Marvel Universe pantheon. But at least Thor was amazing to look at, and had some intriguing storylines. The First Avenger was just, plain boring.
As one reviewer from the Village Voice puts it, the movie is a "hokey, hacky, two-hour-plus exercise in franchise transition/price gouging, complete with utterly unnecessary post-converted 3-D"
Rewatching Breaking Bad from the first season with PinkFive. Brilliant show.

Captain AMEHrica: The First Avenger
It's not that it was bad, it just wasn't very good.
5.5/10 cheesy lines.
Still very excited about The Avengers in May, however..
Der Untergang? I never thought I'd meet anyone else who'd seen that movie and actually enjoyed it. Props Zig, both good choices.
Ridley Scott on Prometheus:
“While Alien was indeed the jumping off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place. The keen fan will recognize strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative. I couldn't be more pleased to have found the singular tale I'd been searching for, and finally return to this genre that's so close to my heart.”
So it will be in the same universe as the previous films, but will deviate from it in most other ways. Sounds better than ever if you ask me!

Also, this thread is amazing, Imp. Thanks!

Sting from The Lord of the Rings movies (and The Hobbit movies as well, I'm sure).

I rewatched Firefly over the past few days.
Good fun.
If you live in the UK here's some good news:
Firefly BluRay • Sept 19th • Only at Amazon.co.uk
Know'm say'n!? Dude I love Trailer Park Boys. I watched the whole run in a months time last year and have probably seen every episode at least three times by now. It's so hard to explain to someone how a show like that can be so great, but it's true.
As for Cory and Trevorless last season, here's why they weren't in it. They have their reasons, I guess, but if you ask me they shoulda just sucked it up and stuck with it for another year.

My thoughts on everyone else's thoughts:
Ziggy Stardust:
Adaptation. Talk about a misleading trailer!
9/10
Forgive me for playing the age card, Ziggy... but can you really appreciate this movie at 13?
Appreciate in what way?
Exactly
Fixed.
But seriously, when I was about 16 I went on a huge movie binge and watched all kinds of classics. I loved most of them, and I think I appreciated it pretty well for my age, but whenever I go back and watch one now they're like different movies sometimes. So I guess what I'm saying is Zig can appreciate Adaptation, he just might get something different out of it than Xhonzi (or future-Zig) might.
I agree about the music, it's so great. But one complaint that I have and REALLY bothers me to this day is the main theme, and the fact that they changed it after the first season.
It was so much better before, so epic! WHY did they change it?!?!?!!???
:C
