I think Cars is the worst. I don't mind Up but I've only seen it once. My favourite is probably WALL·E, especially the first half where there is virtually no dialogue. Maybe the first Toy Story. Nemo is the most overrated.

There are a lot of parallels between WALL·E and 2001: A Space Odyssey, you'd be surprised.  Just another reason I consider WALL·E one of- if not the- greatest animated movie ever made.

Recently Watched:

Star Trek - 9/10 balls
Dumb & Dumber - 8/10  balls
Super 8 - 3/10 balls

I know it's repetitive, but the more I think about it, the less I like it... ugh

Honestly though, I was severely disappointed.  How could you guys like that trashy excuse for trash of a movie?!  It was terrible!

I'll admit, for the first 45 minutes I was in love with Super 8.  The train crash scene was probably one of the best scenes I've ever seen in a movie, it was brilliant.  But unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. 

The parents were by far the worst part.  Just sooo cheesy and unimaginative.  "Why don't you just run away, just like your mother!!!"  Excuse me whilst I vomit.  I'm pretty sure I've seen these characters in about 500 other movies.  I understand that it was an homage to classic kids summer blockbuster movies or whatever but that excuse only goes so far. 

"I got you... I got you..." 

*pukes*

If you've already seen X-Men: First Class, see that again, instead of this.

My impression of the J.J. Abram's film Super 8:

JJ:  I have this awesome idea for a scene where these kids are making a movie with an old super 8 camera just like we used to do back in the old days (right! right!) and then all of a sudden BLOOSH! the train blows up and they're suddenly in a REAL summer blockbuster movie just like the one they were filming!  It's like, a play on their imaginations!!!!!

SS:  Oh man that sounds awesome!

JJ:  Yeah! Yeah!  And there's a MONSTER on the train too that gets away!  And all these government guys come and they're all secretive and we're not sure what's going on!

SS:  Oh wow I'm so intrigued!  Then what happens!?!?! How does it end!?!?!1

JJ:  Well..... I was hoping that's where you came in...

SS:  Oh... I see... well shit, I ran out of good ideas years ago.

JJ:  Hmm.... How about some character stuff?  Nothing?

SS:  Well.. I guess we could just recycle every single lame, cheesy, overdone, melodramatic element of every single movie into the few underdeveloped characters we have.  People eat that shit up, trust me man.

JJ:  So you're saying we can just bullshit our way through the last hour or so by shoving the drama down people throats and we don't even have to come up with our own character development?

SS:  More or less.

JJ:  Sounds good bro, lets make some cash!

Catfish.  Don't let anyone tell you about it.  Just go see it.  It's not for everybody, but you won't know until you see it.

I saw this a few months ago and really enjoyed it!

Finally saw The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Good little movie, but why the heck did people blow it up to such huge proportions? 3.5 nose rings out of 5

I think people were more into the books than the movies.  Although I have heard they were good too.  Kinda want to wait for the American version, though, only because of Fincher.

For 1975, Jaws has been replaced with Barry Lyndon.

As much of a Kubrick fan as I am, I have to say, bad call.

Really?

What makes you say that?

Barry Lyndon is genius, for sure.  The cinematography is phenomenal.  But movie for movie, Jaws is just better all-around.  Lyndon does get boring at bits, I have to admit.

Also, welcome back Nanner!!!
