A) Wrong section
B) Why are you double posting

If TMNT wins, I will shave my head like a Franciscan monk and post pictures in this forum.

He is telling you the rules that you as a member should already be aware of.
Also he's being realistic not having any faith has nothing to do with it.
The new turtles movie didn't go over well with reviewers I'm quite sure one of the large block busters took the award as well.
But hell I'd love to be proven wrong & I'm quite sure spitfire would be as well.

Spitfire's totally right. I agree with all his three points, especially with the last one.

Sorry folks, but "300" is going to take it all.

So do we know who won?

Edit: Found it - Neither TMNT nor 300 won.

Where were all you guys when I was getting flamed for disliking it back when it first came out?

Tickle me surprised, still won the #1 award, and a ****** movie still won the best comic award.

I thought 300 was an amazing film. I guess I'm not an artsy Starbucks coffee drinker who analyzes everything in a complex manner.

Sorry I don't like Starbucks, but I do analyze. I have a brain and I choose to use it, espcially when watching a form of entertainment I plan on getting into. 300 didn't need to be analyzed, it was shallow and made for the average casual movie go-er. It's not thought provoking, it's made for people who just simply want to watch a movie, nothing more.

What you like is what you like and there's nothing wrong with that. For the type of movie it is, it's alot better then most of what's on the market.

I don't care if it won the #1 award, at least Transformers didn't, I'm more surprised "30 Days Of Night" won the best comic award.

I heard 30 Days of Night was a great movie until the end, where everything stopped making sense. Guess I'm glad I didn't spend the money to go see it.

If it were edited a little better I think I might have enjoyed it alot, but the scenes were to long and I honestly got bored watching it. The jumper scenes and the gore were right but everything else was out of sync, and yes the ending is pretty bad.

If your interested I'll drop you two hints here of why I didn't like it
Spoiler:
It has literately the exact same ending as Blade 2, and there's a fight scene before it that rips off Underworld.


I guess it's not surprising it's borrowing from other movies of it's kind but I tend to look down on films that aren't originial. At very least I'd say it's worth a rental.

30 days of night was an amazing ground breaking comic untill it was done to death and then others started to copy it and we had 500 vampire comic books all over the place in shops.
Sadly though I really don't think the movie did the comics justice at all.
And that's funny because I found the ending was the only thing about the movie that came close to the comics.
What would have made the movie just as ground breaking for the comics to me is if they would have done something like A Scanner Darkly and had the artist or whomever draw over the movie in the style of the comics I think that would have been amazing.
It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen though but it's most def. not the best it's sort of just there.

God forbid a movie is made to just entertain and not provoke serious thought.

The way the comic was written and done was throught provoking and very stylized there was no reason why the movie shouldn't have been.
There are enough no brainer movies out there so I sort off wish they'd start making something differnt.
