Adonis 4174	Posted - 2007.09.01 14:07:00 - [61] Originally by: Micheal Dietrich Originally by: Epoch Originally by: Sharupak Originally by: Lazaroth Alien 4: when that stupid white alien hybrid comes out and kills it's mother?!?! WTF!! Laz Yeah it was good through aliens, then 3 and 4 came out and that was the WTF! LOL! I liked alien 3. one of david finchers first films 3 was ok but didn't quite have the 'feel' of the series Not to mention it had to compete with 2. 4 should have just been flushed for the crap it spewed out. I read a leaked script of 4 and thought it was awesome. I was really looking forward to the scene with the white alien. Oh, but they had changed it. I'm guessing a censor somewhere didn't like that part. It's been a long time since I'd felt that let down by a film. ----- I'll be in my pod

CCP kieron	Posted - 2007.09.01 16:42:00 - [62] Originally by: Chronus26 'The Prestige' with Christian Bale and some others - Good movie till the end. The whole film is a build up to discovering the secret to 2 versions of a magic trick, and whats the secret? A cloning machine. In the 1850s. What a great plot twist that is. Not. I'm going to agree with this one, the movie was believable until the end and the director/writer asked you to suddenly suspend disbelief with the cloning machine. However, David Bowie as Nikola Tesla was a stroke of absolute genius! I'll also agree with the posts about Signs and The Village, but I have to add Lady in the Water to the mix. Not for a disappointing story, I would rank this movie Unbreakable and Sixth Sense, but for what I feel is M Night's ego. Instead of casting an actor, any actor, to play the role of an author whose book will eventually rid the world of hate, discrimination and war, he casts himself. kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread! Oh wait...

Jim McGregor	Posted - 2007.09.01 16:55:00 - [63] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 01/09/2007 16:55:21 Originally by: CCP kieron Lady in the Water I havent actually seen this one... im going to now. --- Originally by: CCP Wrangler You're not supposed to feel like you're logging in to a happy, happy, fluffy, fluffy lala land filled with fun and adventures, thats what hello kitty online is for.
Sharupak Minmatar Knights Of the Black Sun Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.09.01 23:59:00 - [64] I got it...Planet Earth The T.V. Series about two months back on like the science channel or something. It was like a dozen hour episodes shot entirely in HD!! It was ***** FANTASTIC!!!! The whole show was just a whole slew of perfect breath taking images. They caught this pack of Jackal hunting impalas with military style precision which made me realize exactly how smart those animals really are...oh and to never set foot in the african desert without a shotgun. I know, most all nature documentaries (especially on the National Geographic Channel) will alway have a quib about man taking a wizz on the environment and such and such species is gonna die! This is hard to explain, but the imagery and cinematography was sooooo good that if you didnt come to appreciate the truly amazing and spectacular beauty and complexity of the organisms we share this perfect dream of a planet we live on....you must need a massive injection of L-Dopa! But they just HAD to interject in every episode about what a head man is. I mean this show just perfected the ability for a human to make a connection with animals in the wild, and then they SEPARATE man as if he is some sort of virus to nature!!! God talk about ** me off. Still the show is outstanding and I recomend it. _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2007.09.02 00:55:00 - [65] Originally by: Sharupak I got it...Planet Earth Still the show is outstanding and I recomend it. I agree. I have an HDTV too so saw it in all its glorious HDTVness. Was striking. Showing the part to guests of thousands of white birds (forget what they were...geese I think) never fails to impress. I got choked up at the part with the penguin babies lost in a blizzard. Probably shouldn't admit that but honestly if it doesn't bring a lump to your throat you are a heartless bastard. My only minor quibble with the series was using Sigourney Weaver as the host. She wasn't bad as such. But really demanded Richard Kiley(sp?) or his ilk to make it perfect. I didn't really pickup too much on man are a bunch of evil bastards ruining the planet in that show. Maybe I was too swayed by the images. Oh...those birds doing their mating dance in the Amazon (I think) were freaking AMAZING! Even the photographers were astounded. No one had ever seen that and it was quite striking. I know most of their jobs can be dull waiting for the right shot but that makes me wish I were a wildlife photographer.

Instead of casting an actor, any actor, to play the role of an author whose book will eventually rid the world of hate, discrimination and war, he casts himself. Totally forgot about The Lady in the Water. I wanted to see that. Will have to ask Tivo to watch it for me. I have The Prestige on Tivo but somehow manage to always try to watch it at 2-3am after coming back from the pub. As a result it is one of those movies I have sort of seen but only in 10-15 minute chunks here and there. Combined with my befuddled state I really do not have a good sense of it. Will have to give it a proper go.
Trek Minmatar N.A.G.A Corporation	Posted - 2007.09.02 01:58:00 - [67] Ok I'm a big sci-fi fan and there are two movies which comes to my mind imediatley: Event Horizon and Sunshine I know both of these movies are well liked around here, but come on! The thing that makes me go wtf is pretty much the same with both of them. Nice build-up, claustrophobia, things going wrong etc, the standard stuff which sometimes can make a movie pretty good. And then all of the sudden mr _ber-Invincible Hellraiser-wanna-be guy with super-powers shows up destroying the whole suspense of belief. Movie ends and I think why oh why wreck decent build up with that crap? Also I agree with the comments about Signs. The movie was fine until the aliens showed up. So the super smart and super strong alien can't even open a bloody door now? Also the water stuff only made it even more stupid. --- My other ship is a Reaper
Irish Whiskey Caldari Vendetta Underground	Posted - 2007.09.02 10:54:00 - [68] Originally by: Micheal Dietrich As for my movie I'm going with The Matrix. I like the first movie altogether (I thought the other sucked). It had a great storyline from start to finish with a ending that could mean sequal but also could be left right where it was. The only scene that bugs the hell out of me was when Neo was fighting Mr. Smith in the subway station and he gets knocked back by the stairs. He gets up and thinks about running then looks back at Mr. Smith and does a incredibly stupid dramatic pose. No matter how many times I watch the movie I always laugh at that one scene. HAHAHAHAHAHA you mean when he does the cheesey flex and the dust cloud comes off him? i laugh my booty off every time i see that. as for my movie, ill go with 10 till noon. great movie, hilarious, but they take it too far when he says 'i love you too' when theres something in is mouth. (just watch it)
Deviana Sevidon Gallente Cataclysm Enterprises Kraftwerk.	Posted - 2007.09.02 14:28:00 - [69] For me it was also Alien 4. The movie had a good start, but then they showed the "Scientists" on the ship were as dumb as a slice of bread and then the movie went downhill with the stupid alien hybrid.
Taji Seed The BlackHand Order Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2007.09.02 20:32:00 - [70] A Scanner Darkly - nothing wrong with the film, I just had a little too much lemonade and walked out during the film to go to the toilet... When I came back the credits were scrolling up, and everyone was laughing at me :( I still dont know how it ends! [comment on my music]

oDDiTy V2 Epic.	Posted - 2007.09.02 22:53:00 - [71] Titanic. First they go telling me that the ship is "unsinkable" and then it SINKS? WHAT THE ****?
Kiyano Caldari Pilots Of Honour	Posted - 2007.09.03 04:57:00 - [72] Originally by: Phiend I know I'm gonna get smacked for this but: Bridge to Tarabithia. The only reason I even watched it was because the trailers made it seem like it was a Narnia or Last of the Mimsies type movie where some kid find a secret world blah blah blah. The trailer was COMPLETE false advertisement, it made it seem like it was going to be all action packed and stuff, but it was just pure drama the entire time. Sad to say I was actually enjoying the movie... then out of ***** no where one of the main characters die... Its like this: 1 day they are in their 'made up world' havin fun then the next day the boy goes on a field trip and comes home and out of *** no where his parents are like "she's dead" and your left sittin there like WTF?! I'm a *** I guess bcuz I actually got sad and maybe shed a tear or two... Actually I completely agree with you, I watched that movie and although it wasn't what I was expecting I was really quite enjoying it and then they went and did that :( made me sad lol, thought kids films were supposed to have happy endings >.<
Orivanna	Posted - 2007.09.03 05:08:00 - [73] Edited by: Orivanna on 03/09/2007 05:08:47 "Movie: Contact Problem: The alien was her dad? What a ripoff. Ok, I know it only appeared to her that way to ease the shock of first contact or somesuch but seriously. What a ripoff after 2+ hours." Ripoff from what? A book written in 1985 by Carl Sagan that it is based on? Carl Sagan was an astrophysicist/philospher and is one of the greatest people to have lived ever.
Kirex Vale Heavy Industries Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2007.09.03 05:24:00 - [74] The Green Mile. I was enjoying it until the part where John Coffey used some magic and sucked up the guys urinary infection. :\| Some parts of the movie after that were still good, but that part made me lose interest. :/
Chainsaw Plankton	Posted - 2007.09.03 08:43:00 - [75] Edited by: Chainsaw Plankton on 03/09/2007 08:48:16 the village, about 20 mins in when the monster thingy didn't go around killing people... and then there was the god awful twist at the end. was expecting a good scare and got a society drama hell hole. @kieron, i would love to be able to agree with you about lady in the water but i wont go near one of his films after seeing the village @Taji Seed eh thought that was an awful movie. the adverts made it look good and then it turned out to be about combating drugs and liked all of about 5 mins of titanic the rest was crap. was a nice drawing
EvilPhog Amarr Art of War Cult of War	Posted - 2007.09.03 09:24:00 - [76] Originally by: Imperator Jora'h Originally by: Sharupak I got it...Planet Earth Still the show is outstanding and I recomend it.

You mean it wasn't narrated by the god that is Sir David Attenborough?
Sae Sato Amarr The Black Rabbits	Posted - 2007.09.03 10:09:00 - [77] Edited by: Sae Sato on 03/09/2007 10:10:57 Originally by: Constantinee "The Village" was liking it, the story was good and then the ending like wtf. Military experimenting with humans making them think they are living in the 17th cetury. suspending air access over that part and the monsters are the villagers dressed up to keep villagers there.... I don't think you got it right from what I understood it was a group of average people, one of them being VERY wealthy, who decided that with the crime and violence in the 'modern' world, and some events they experienced our society was going downhill and they decided to raise their children in a safe, sheltered environment without violence, and without knowledge of the violent society beyond. The really rich guy organized the piece of land and all the paperwork required to ensure it would be undisturbed. There were no military experiments involved. The 'monster play' and the frame story was to ensure the children, who had been born there and never knew anything different, wouldn't try and go too far, where they would encounter the 'real' world and experience violence. I thought the movie was brilliant, tbh. One could argue it was far from being even remotely realistic, but I loved the whole 'escpape from modern society, our children should be safe' idea behind it. And the irony of how violence developed within their peaceful back to the roots village anyway, without guns, without TV, and without drugs. Awesome acting from the blind girl, too. My personal negatively 'WTF' movie would be Ocean's 12, too. It tried so hard to be funny, and failed, and the whole Julia Roberts episode was just lame.
Jon Hawkes The Littlest Hobos Betrayal Under Mayhem	Posted - 2007.09.03 11:35:00 - [78] Is nobody on this forum old enough to remember The Crying Game?!!
Rodj Blake Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.09.03 11:38:00 - [79] I was really enjoying The Crying Game until the bit where the chick undressed Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Jon Hawkes The Littlest Hobos Betrayal Under Mayhem	Posted - 2007.09.03 11:39:00 - [80] Originally by: Rodj Blake I was really enjoying The Crying Game until the bit where the chick undressed Yep. I didn't even know what the film was about, so had no idea!

Red Crown Kudzu Collective	Posted - 2007.09.03 12:55:00 - [81] OP missed the point with Contact, the alien isn't her dad, he says that he just acessed her memories and appeared in human form so it'd be easier for her. Spider Man 3 - as he leaves the play, Peter sees Harry, and Harry is just emo-teen "Wahh don't talk to me". 24 hours later Harry is trying to kill Peter. Double you tee ef. I'm in agreeance with Signs, the symbolism in the "Aliens can't get through wood" bit was sort of lost on me, and the whole aliens have a 0% water resists thing was BS. If that were the case, breathing our air would be toxic.
Gariuys Evil Strangers Inc.	Posted - 2007.09.03 13:21:00 - [82] Originally by: oDDiTy V2 Titanic. First they go telling me that the ship is "unsinkable" and then it SINKS? WHAT THE ****? Yeah but that one doesn't really count, cause the whole Leonardo sinking to the bottom of the ocean thing makes up for almost all of it. ;-)
Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2007.09.03 20:54:00 - [83] Originally by: Red Crown OP missed the point with Contact, the alien isn't her dad, he says that he just acessed her memories and appeared in human form so it'd be easier for her. Re-read what I posted. Quite aware of that. And to the other poster yes Carl Sagan was an amazing guy and much respect to him. I actually liked the movie a lot. If the alien appeared as her dad in the book then so be it. This is one of the few sci-fi movies which I have never read the book though and I found it a bit of a let down after all that.
Kalor Bayloch Anqara Industries	Posted - 2007.09.03 21:47:00 - [84] TV series: Amazing Stories. EP "The Mission" It probably wouldn't have been a big deal if I'd had known it was an episode of "Amazing Stories." I started watching partway through and had no idea. anyway it was a WW2 epic, a B-17 suffering battle damage and trying to make it back to base. The landing gear was shot. so was the ball-turret's hatch. so the ball turret gunner couldn't get out, and the plane had to belly-land. Hour-long drama on what to do about it. Parachute was torn. Can't bail. Should the shoot him in the turret so he doesn't suffer? On of the crewman (or was it the ball turret gunner? don't remember) was an artist and drew a sketch of the B-17 with a working landing gear. lo and behold, two giant cartoon tires pop out from the fuselage, allowing the plane to land without crushing the gunner. Up to this point it was an ultra-serious Memphis Bell kinda film.
Bishop 5 Gallente Macabre Votum INVICTUS.	Posted - 2007.09.03 22:09:00 - [85] Originally by: MassonA harry potter, you have flying broomsticks, owls with satnav, and words that can kill you. but a ginger kid with 2 mates? yeah OMG; hahahah ------------- meh
Reto The Last Resort	Posted - 2007.09.03 23:00:00 - [86] Originally by: Micheal Dietrich Originally by: Tarquin Tarquinius In Star Wars Episode I, the whole space battle sequence was terrible. Bad acting all around plus a six year old blows up a capital ship by accident. "NOW THIS IS POD RACING!" So much suck. Luckily the movie was ruined long before that. Who puts their ship reactor in the HANGAR BAY! that was the thing which wondered me the most. a load of flying droids and other highly explosive stuff with big fat rocketenignes mounted on them and what do u place in the middle of the hallway where those things flying around? OFC a reactor unit or a Hydrogen tank or maybe a ammunitions depot with highly explosive stuff which totally has to be conected to the weakest spot of the inner structure holding the whole thing together! its like placing the deathstars weak spot on the top marking it with a giant red cross and maybe some letters saying "-->place photon torpedo here<--" Originally by: s4mp3r0r "Hey man, you're mom has a cruise missile".
Destiny Calling Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.09.04 08:46:00 - [87] Originally by: Jim McGregor Edited by: Jim McGregor on 29/08/2007 19:11:05 The Usual Suspects. The scene at the end where the cop realizes how everything really went down gives me the chills. :) Ah... now I read your post properly. Ok, then it would have to be...from Dusk Till Dawn. Once the vampires came out, it got all silly. Mine is also Dusk to dawn, thouroughly liking it till it got silly.
Xings Perkone	Posted - 2007.09.04 09:41:00 - [88] Okay in Signs... the end of the movie where God or a greater force makes everything happen for a reason and you just have to believe... pssh. If they wouldnt of got off their ass and beat some alien skull in then they would have been dead. The end of that film completely ruined it with the mother talkin yang when she is about to die.
Xings Perkone	Posted - 2007.09.04 09:47:00 - [89] when it comes to the Village. I did think it was a good film, captured whole...you can't escape violence, jealously, envy... its human nature
Krulla Minmatar True Centii	Posted - 2007.09.04 10:09:00 - [90] Edited by: Krulla on 04/09/2007 10:09:08 I'd like to add Star Wars Episode 1 to that list. Although a lot of small things conspired to utterly ruin that movie, it had a lot of potential. The one scene that just made me sigh and shake my head though, was the starfighting scene. Okay, so you're telling me that a 6 year old kid destroys a giant battleship by sheer accident? Sure, he's force sensitive and crap, but that was just utterly moronic. "Hey look, let's hide here! Oh **, I just closed the*pit! Oh hai, let's hit random buttons! OH LOL! I just autopiloted to the fight! Oh, and by complete accident and spastic flailing around I'm completely dodging the fire of dozens of fighters and the guns on that command ship! Oh hai guys, where am I now? Oh look, a hangar! Oh damn, they're coming to get me! Let's flail randomly at some more buttons! Oh hot damn, did something just blow up? **, I just WON THE GODDAMN WAR ON COMPLETE ACCIDENT, whoops, I hope my mom won't get mad! I just accomplished single handedly what dozens of elite fighter pilots were unable to do, even though they had years of training and probably decades of experience!"
