Went and saw Angels & Demons.

Having been in Rome 3 weeks ago and seeing a bunch of the locations in person (like Cistine Chapel, St. Peters, Castle San Angelo, and Pantheon) made me like the movie a whole lot more than I otherwise would have.

That being said - an antimatter bomb?   :lmfao:

Its feature as a tourist guide to Rome (even if fake Vatican) is the only quality of this ridiculous movie. The «friend» who dragged me through that is owing me...

Why would you let someone drag you to a movie like this? There is a 0% chance you would like anything like this.

There is always the possibility of it being bad enough to be funny.
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane—Marcus Aurelius

Habbaku

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Finally watched "Night Of The Comet" ... :) very fun slightly post apocalyptic movie, with far less zombie action than you'd think based on the cover of the box. But even so, an interesting tale of 80's psychology, and mall grown teens. Has Chakotay in an early role. He's a Mex-i-Can.

I remember watching that one at a drive-in. Fun for awhile, but when they got to government lab, I tuned out.

The Brain

Saw a Terminator Salvation trailer. Seems to suck hard. Plus Bale is the most overrated actor right now.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Bale's really good at looking intense, slightly constipated.  Which is why he makes such a great Bruce Wayne, you can see the effort he's putting into trying to look relaxed and un-Batman like.

Saw the Dead Like Me movie.  She hasn't aged well at all.  She's in her late 20's if I'm not mistaken and looks 2x that. 

Movie itself was kinda weird.  That's the only way I can describe it. Weird.  I enjoyed it. 

:w00t:
I had no idea such a thing existed!

Really? That always pisses me off.
Whenever they go to tourist sites in films they always seem to be empty of many tourists and at their best.

Spoilers...thanks.

I spoiled the first 5 minutes of the movie - oh noes!!!!1111

Seriously - it's the maguffin driving the whole plot of the thing.  I spoiled nothing.


And for what its worth it was a part of the plot that many of these tourist spots were in fact full of tourists, thus hampering what the "good guys" could do.  One of the few more realistic things in the flick.

again to be fair, while I don't think I ever would have recommended the movie to Oex, if what you're expecting is a summer popcorn thriller with a thin veneer of history on top it's pretty good.

:lol: The book's been out nearly 10 years now.

Not everyone who goes to the movie has read the book.

He would have had a point if I didn't reveal something from the movie's first 5 minutes.

Yeah, I think it's even mentioned in the trailer for the film.

OMG, I married Zachary Quinto afterwards.  He is still in my basement tied up.

Transmorphers.  Who knew someone would go to the trouble of combining the worst aspects of the Matrix, Transformers and a porn movie.  Before you get excited I said worst, there's no porn in it.
