Good Movies?

[invertin]

Long story short- They should have kept the long story short.

If you decide to watch the sequels, watch them for the fights, but in my personal opinion they screwed over the story.

[zoidberg rules]

well i dont think they did so there

[Untadaike]

Dude, invertin, the first one isn't the best. All three of them together only create the cinematic masterpiece that they are. I personally think the first ones a little on the slow side. The seqeuls are the rare ones of their kind to Not fail.

The first matrix IS the best, that I am sure of. But the other two weren't the train wrecks of convoluted plots and unnecessary violence that they are usually described as. The first had more of a story element, but shouldn't every original focus most on the story? Otherwise there will be nothing to go on if they make a sequel. Besides, the story was spectacular, and had plenty of fighting and other intense scenes to keep interest, a perfect balance. The next two movies were good, but they seemed to have lost that perfect balance, plus sequels are always hard to compare to the original as by then, the background of the story isn't as surprising and fresh as before. But in the end they're still very good movies. I'd say definitely watch the first if you haven't, and try to watch the rest as well. Definitely watch the other two together though, I made the mistake of not seeing them both and it didn't go as great, lol.
Also, anyone else want to see Zombie Land?

[zoidberg rules]

nope never even heard of it...but i do wanna see district 9, and 9, and the hurt locker

[Count Roland]

yeah zombie land looks cool they have commercials for it every 3 seconds on tv though. I don't have t.v. but I saw it over at a friends.

[zoidberg rules]

you dont have t.v.? wow i only know like 2 other people who dont have t.v., ad that's only because they only use their t.v.s for gaming

[invertin]

Eh whatever, just my opinion.

But yes definately watch District 9, it is awesome. And 9 probably will be, but I haven't seen it yet so I wouldn't know.

[Count Roland]

eh 9 was alright dialogue was a bit on the brain dead half asphyxiated pregnant smoker child's side though.

starship troopers

other movies in which i can not say right now because my memory sucks ...

[kehaar]

haha Starship Troopers is awesome.

also the first Robocop, in the same extra cheese way. Who knew the Ford Taurus would be the car of the future?

no TV here, either. it's just a video monitor for dvd's and tapes. S'okay, though. I kill more time on the computer than I ever did flipping channels.

Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs

It's absolutely hilarious.

[hamish_123]

The Proposition - Favourite movie of all time. Makes me proud to be Australian, in a sick not really kind of way.

[kehaar]

some war movies...

Full Metal Jacket was already mentioned.

Three Kings is really good. Like Hamish's the Proposition makes you proud to be an American in a sick not really sort of way.

The Hurt Locker. Some young men are crazy cowboys, some are just regular guys getting heavily damaged. Holy [email protected] style edited-for-fear and anxiety, and a funny/pointy gaming reference

Stop Loss: some more of what we do to people who volunteer. Produced, interestingly enough, by MTV. Something to be aware of if you were thinking of signing up.

The Pianist if you want to see some good reasons to fight, and if you want to see horrible shit in your dreams for the next twenty years.
