It's a pretty good film. You should see it. I recall the marketing of the film was all wrong, giving it the impression of some lame video game movie like Mortal Kombat. It's nothing like that at all.

I saw Inception tonight, it was very good :)
Spoiler:
Sorry Tim, I thought this was the Inception thread. :(
I saw Salt yesterday. It was... okay. It definitely kept you guessing through the whole thing, but I can't say I really liked how it turned out. I think there must be sequels planned; maybe I'll like it better once the whole story is really finished.
No worries. :)

Saw Toy Story three three dee yesterday, in a very civilised cinema in Brixton where you can buy a beer or a glass of wine you can take into the movie with you. :up:
Movie was fun. Despite the toddler in the row in front of us gettting scared at one point and screaming.
Starship Troopers 3 from the library. An excellent movie, as long as you were expecting horrible B level acting and scripting.
Cop Out from Red Box was pretty good, full of references to other movies, especially to other Bruce Willis movies.
Ice Age 3 - I was home sick and it was in the DVD player and there was nobody around to change the DVD and so I watched it...
...and...
...also...
...watched...
The View.
:cry: I feel so dirty.
Was it the Obama one at least? You might have a good excuse then.
Unfortunately not, I just was so damn sick I couldn't get out of bed (except to puke!) and when I channel surfed it was more of the same (The View type daytime TV shows).
I'm not sure I will be able to sleep tonight, nightmares of middle aged judgemental women feigning happiness are lurking just beyond my conscious mind. Their bleak menopausal rage could tear the flesh from the bones of harmless bunny rabbits yet they somehow force laughter and sincerity for nigh on an hour - but they don't blink, they never blink!
I am afraid.
PS - I may be a little delirious.
I finally broke down and saw Slumdog Millionaire yesterday. Anyone know the final question before they revealed the answer? In knew it was either A or D, and A did seem to fit better with the first two names.
I watched The Cotton Club (pretty good!) and The Bad Lieutenant (good!) last night :)
Just watched Living in Oblivion. I didn't get it. Play on dreams I guess. In more ways than one, and pretty funny.
I saw Soldaat van Oranje (soldier of orange) - good movie!
The Day the Earth Stood Still. The new one with Keanu Reeves. It was rather good, not nearly as boring as War of the Worlds. Reeves was the perfect actor as the alien with his "I'm a soulless robot" routine. Nice splash of needless action right when the story would start to get dull. However I couldn't stand the kid actor. Wanted to slap some god damn sense into that little bitch.
I saw my first full trailers for Sucker Punch today too. Synder talked about it a little during the live commentary for Watchman, and I'm glad to say I'm not disappointed with how it turned out. I don't think he left a [mainstream] fantasy genre untouched.

Watched the old BBC version of Day of the Triffids - the series. (1981)
Weirdest sci-fi ever, giant man eating flowers (triffids) take over the world after almost everyone is blinded by a strange comet/solar flare/bright light in the sky.
I saw this as a kid and recently decided to watch it again, not sure if this was a good idea or not since Jo seemed way sexier in 1981 than she does now and the rest of it just seemed too ludicrous for words.
I still watched all the episodes back to back though. :)
Yes, it was - it was originally a novel written by John Wyndham in 1951 and the story alluded to but did not confirm that The Triffids were creatures apparently bio-engineered in the Soviet Union and accidentally released when an aircraft carrying their seeds crashed (or was shot down).
Considering when it was written, the content and the pseudo-political backdrop it was something of a break-through for sci-fi novels - Arthur C Clarke is claimed to have called it an "immortal story".
I just thought that Jo was hot when I was a kid so I thought I'd watch it again.
:D
Oh and I read the book in High School too.
lol - Day of the Triffids. :D
I was but a wee bairn when that was on the box.
Scared the hell outta me as I remember it. :eek:
But being a BBC sci-fi production of the early 80s, it's probably all shaky sets and rubbery monsters if you watched it now.

Whenever I see a heavy plant crossing road sign nowadays, I think of a Triffid crossing point.

Botched, Zack and miri make a porno, natural born killers, matchstick men, hellboy, and the big lebowski :)
Bloody 'ell Flix. :bulb:
What is this - catchup on movies week?
What did you think of Natural Born Killers?
It's more of an it's-summer-and-I-don't-have-anything-to-do-so-I-might-as-well-go-to-friends-and-drink-scotch-while-watching-movies week :p
And I liked NBK. Pretty weird, but intriguing.
Watched Kick Ass last night. Excellent. Hit Girl was played extremely well.
Watched Kick Ass. I wanna be Hit Girl when I grow up.
The Other Guys. Can't get TLC out of my head, but aside from that I'm having trouble quoting things...
Salt, it was really entertaining even though it contained some wft moments of things that couldn't have happened even if she had the best training possible by both KGB and CIA. Quite shocking to realise they must have beat her up as a little girl in order to do the switch.
