Sox?

I first saw Empire (SE Edition) on a screen in Stirling, Scotland with my Grandfather.

The cinema's been re-purposed as a Jehovah's witness church-thingy.

Odeon Guildford in Surrey, U.K.

Wow! That looks a lot nicer than the one they have now. Were the screens bigger or smaller than the ones in the current odeon? I saw Tintin and a bunch of other films there and they were pitifully small.

Mr Nobody (2009)

 This movie makes my brain hurt, but I really like it.

Plus it has better old man make-up than Prometheus, which is a big plus.

His married name is O'Barsoom.

BARSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

I don't get why this wasn't called 'John Carter of Mars' anyways, stupid disney.

After watching the movie, I understand. It wasn't about him being "of Mars", it was about him becoming it. The title screen at the beginning which mirrored the one at the end showed that. I actually appreciated it after that.

And apparently all of the marketing, including the name change, was done by the director, Andrew Stanton, not Disney.

I enjoyed the end title reveal, but I think it did far more damage than it was worth. The movie should have been called "John Carter and the Princess of Mars" and they still could have done the "John Carter...waitforit...of Mars" bit at the end.

 

Or they could've kept and advertised the name 'John Carter of Mars' and have the title show up at the end, for when he 'becomes' John Carter of Mars.

John Carter

10 mystical blue thingys out of 10

It sucks that not a lot of people saw this, now we won't get a sequel. :(

I hadn't really read the books properly before seeing this, and the movie has given incentive to go and read them. I don't get why this wasn't called 'John Carter of Mars' anyways, stupid disney.

When have you seen a 14-foot 700-pound sculpt that moved and wasn't located in a theme park or movie set? You know those things cost about a million dollars right? High expectations much?

Twas a joke, referencing fanboys expectations of action figures, and their refusal to purchase items with a low level of articulation.

I would however buy this, which has 0 points of articulation:

Oo! Gimmie Gimmie!!! Now I can have all the fun of playing 2001: A Space Odyssey at home!

David Lynch land! Where you too can be the Elephant man! Ride on the Eraserhead baby rollercoaster!

oh darn,  here I though maybe Europe was finally getting into that ripoff of Rugby but you were really talking about proper football.   Oh well. 

FIXED

Nothing much. Bingo got pregnant with Burt Reynolds' child, Warbler sighed so much the accumilation of 'sighs' gained sentience and escaped off somewhere into the internet, Frink set fire to the Last Movie seen thread... twice, some French alien showed up in Prometheus, and I did lots of awesome things many times (because I'm awesome, and modest.)

So.... the usual.

Anyways, why would you want to go to mars? The parties there suck, there's hardly any atmosphere.

Superman VS The Elite (2012)

Fantastic. It really explores Superman's Morals and ethics in the modern world and explores whether or not they're outdated. The new superheroes that challenge superman, 'The Elite' are the dark, edgy and gritty Superheroes that a lot of people cry out for. I could go on and on about this, but I'd advise people to go, get a copy and watch it, especially those who are the naysayers of Superman.

Prometheus is about Space-Jesus????

Pfft... That's Bollocks.

Bingowings said:

There are a lot of clues to the Space Jesus angle there's no denying that.

I see no way it's not about Space-Jesus. (Is the "Space-" prepend really necessary? Hasn't Jesus always been from Space/Heaven?)

You might as well say that the film is about the space-french because there's a spaceship that looks like a croissant and there's of people running away from things.

Well done.

Hawr Hawr! Iz true, no?

Sure, there are lots of allusions to the story of christ and whatnot, but it isn't necessarily about Space-Jesus.

The Bourne identity (Both the 1988 and the 2002 versions)

I like both versions. I like the 1988 version for it's staying closer to novel than the 2002 one, but I like the 2002 for it's action-y stuff and the score. I like that the shakey cam is more subdued in the 2002 film than it's later sequels.

(1988) four out of five balls

(2002) three and a half out of five balls

Then the punk,

with a rocky funk

fell in the gunk

and turned into a mutant...unk

How about this?

FYI the script isn't about King John as the goodie, but rather the script centres around the Sheriff of Nottingham, investigating a string of murders that may or may not have been done by the Terrorist 'Robin Hood'

My mother will be disappointed to hear that.  Our ancestor is once again relegated to Disney villain status. ;)

Well, to be fair he IS technically a good guy in the script. He just isn't all that prominent, the film focuses on the Sheriff solving murders.

Can we have both?

I agree with Bingo that the Ritchie film wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...but that only goes for the first one. The second film is an absolute tepid mess of scenes just scrambled together. It makes no real sense.

Downey does speak with that weird attempt to do an accent, and for some reason thinks that by speaking it in a very clipped and brusque manner that it will come off better. It doesn't.

IMO the only big positive was Law's Watson, as we finally get to see the good Doctor as an active participant instead of lowly side assistant.

You should check out the BBC's adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002) . The watson portrayed there is a lot truer, although there are quite a lot of deviations from the original source, to how he's depicted in the books. i.e. actually competent and intelligent.

The same actor who played Watson there also played Watson in another Sherlock Holmes tv movie thingy, Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking.

Ooo! Ooo! I just remembered. There was something that I really liked at my cinema experience. While everyone was getting their seats, they played the soundtrack to Moon. That was probably one of the things I enjoyed about my trip to see Prometheus.
