Watched Transformers 3 today.

Now, I thoroughly enjoyed 1 and 2, with the standard exceptions of the silly humour and the over-focus on humans when all I want to watch is robots beating the crap out of eachother.

However, this one really disappointed. The end-battle made up for it somewhat, but it just felt like they were trying far too hard. I could also never get quite comfortable with the 3D so I may have to see it again without it.

They turned on the lights in the theater 10 minutes before the movie ended, so the entire final battle was tainted by my sudden onset of seething anger. Normally I will just be a bit irritated at these things [believe it or not, but I am actually a very forgiving person], and maybe consider angrily what I'd like to do to the staff at the theater, but today it was just like something snapped in my head. I've had several separate businesses attempt to fuck with me by selling me shoddy merchandise (and only replacing it after loud screaming and threats to report them to the proper authorities) or lying to me about the details of subcriptions (why, yes, I can see here that this other kind of plan will be much cheaper for you [haha in fact it will triple your costs! scooore!]) and the utter fucking audacity of fucking with my movie enjoyment simply pushed me over the edge.

I stomped out of the theater, brimming with righteous fury and seized the closest staffmember and demanded to see his supervisor, which I proceeded to chew out. Little spitfuck made the mistake of crudely observing that I should've stepped out to notify them that their automatic system had turned the lights on prematurely instead of waiting for the movie to end THUS RUINING THE ENDING REGARDLESS. Gave him a torrent of abuse and he finally realized that perhaps he should just give us a couple of free tickets. I felt a bit bad when I noticed he was shaking with adrenaline and fear, but my anger would not be soothed.

A gaggle of less insane movie goers tagged along and used me as a battering ram, and there were obviously a lot of pissed people though in the typical Swedish fashion no one dared say anything until I released the Slargos.

Felt pretty good being the unreasonably angry customer for once.

Though I think it's quite possible that he started weeping after I was done with him, and that probably doesn't go on the plus side of my karmic score board.  :Embarrass: [/b]

What about Michael Caine?
Michael Caine is famous for doing bad movies. He gets a pass.

Slapshot.

This is, without a doubt, the best Quebec-dubbed movie of all time.
Unfortunately, the original english version isn't that good.  Just seen it, for the first time.
The Hanson are still amazing :P

Um... as in Utica College or went here to shoot?  We have a lot of nice building and everything is ungodly cheap.  The college is an offshoot of Syracuse University and a lot less expensive.  Also, we make great beer. :thumbsup:

Interesting.  I know they have some good programs there, and I've taken a few classes there, but I was unaware of their film program doing much.  Apparently the people learn to like the cold while here and amp it up by moving to your neck of the woods.

I've watched Hatari! again after many years. I watched this movie countless times as a kid. One possible explanation why I have a thing for petite redheads to this day?

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Sucker Punch.  Mindless cheesecake and CGI.  Don't know why people said it was so hard to follow.

Hottie babes, though.

I watched the first half of True Grit. It seemed quite alright but I don't get how everyone was saying it was awesome. I feel asleep half way through though, will have to watch the second half tonight. Maybe it gets amazing.
