2012 - maybe the worst movie I've ever seen. How many other movies did this one rip off? Armageddon, War of the Worlds, Day After Tomorrow, Poisedon... probably more. Such a bad movie. pissed off at myself for sitting through it.

The Crazies: disappointing. Was hoping it would be more like 28 Days Later, and not like Halloween II. Only cool part was the big bang at the end.

and I FINALLY just saw The Hangover... it was good. It's no Old School though.

My plans fell through tonight so I'm sitting home alone and I'm feeling really bored.


Soooooo.... I'm watching twilight on cable. Ugh. I hate myself. Drinking beer watching the stupidest movie I've ever seen. Maybe if I have more beer, I can appreciate it as comedy?

Edit-hahaha. This charcoal is hilarious!

If I had planned on watching twilight on cable, wouldn't I have watched it weeks ago when it premiered? But honestly, no regrets. I laughed for about an hour straight.

Maybe you were waiting for the right day? Lol. We've all watched embarrassing things when nothing else is on.

I got drunk and watched Twilight with a couple Twihards and I got to tell you, watching somebody's favorite movie while drinking and constantly making fun of it is a lot of fun.

I'm a big TCM guy, I go through every few weeks, look at what's coming up and throw things that look interesting on DVR. Especially 40s-50s film noir and anything with Edward G Robinson.

This weekend I have watched three good ones:

Five Star Final (1931) with Edward G Robinson and Bela Lugosi as sensationalist newspapermen. It could easily be remade today.

I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932) with Paul Muni (the original Scarface) as -Surprise- a fugitive from a chain gang.

The Snake Pit (1948) with Olivia DeHavilland as a patient in a mental ward. Film was intended to be an indictment of treatment of the mentally ill in that era.

This is true. I remember a similar event with me and some people who were very into Final Destination.

Final destination 2 is awesome for what it is. Great deaths in that one. The rest of the series is pretty bad, though.

No. I walked out of Final Destination 2. The only good one was the original.

Ok, so I know I'm about as behind on the tv tech adoption as one can be, but sheesh, when did Sci-Fi Network turn into a hard-core horror flic outlet? I mean, Saw, Hostel and Hostel 2 in the same weekend? Nuts.

Hostel was chilling the first time around. Second time, not so much. The cartoonishness comes out more.

Just watched "2012"
I really enjoyed this movie, the scenes, destruction, etc. Really cool to see cities being destroyed. But some of the plot and the main actors almost getting killed 400 times was a little far fetched. Still good and kept my attention.

A movie where characters out run an earthquake is "a little far fetched?" Get right out of town.



Watched North by Northwest last night. It's awesome.
