I agree. Since the first time I saw this I've come to accept it a bit more, but it was still largely disappointing.

And it's a pleasure to see this ava of yours once more. XDDDD

Spider-Man 3 is one of the funniest movies in years. It's awful in every way, but at least you can laugh at how bad it is. Don't bother with it if you're expecting to take it seriously, though.

V for Vendetta the movie blows in comparison to the original graphic novel. I don't really know why they had to update it so much. Plus the freedom fighter/anarchist thing - in the comic, V wasn't that positive as portrayed in the flick

Nevertheless, the movie's still pretty eye-candy to watch.

I think people really whine about the Spider-Man movies. Look at Spider-Man himself...he looks ridiculous. Let's all be honest here. The entire realm of Spider-Man is completely and utterly ridiculous, why does it even come into people's minds that the movies would end up being "serious" for lack of a better word?

Spider-Man comics are just plain fun. There's good action, cheesy jokes, and a decently coherent story. The movies are exactly the same thing, it's just another take on the same tired old Spider-Man formula. What's the big f*cking deal, folks?

**GK Punk** · 02-06-2008, 03:20 PM

Because hating Spider-Man movies is cool and Anti-Conformist!

Spider-Man? More like CONFORMIST-MAN. I AM NOT A ROBOT LIKE THE REST OF YOU!

*Dr. Doom* · 02-06-2008, 03:35 PM

I really liked the first one, thought the second one was ok, and never ended up seeing the third.

Mandi-chan · 02-06-2008, 07:24 PM

I love all three Spider-Man movies to be honest, but the third one was pretty bad....#2 was my favorite.

I loved "V for Vendetta", am looking forward to getting the graphic novel.

Is "The Eye" remake any good?

Oh my god, this is so true! Every word of it!

Call the national census board and tell them to write this down! I found another loser who reads books, then goes to see the movie so he can complain about how inaccurate it is to all the people who would rather see pretty moving pictures!

**Barkworm** · 02-07-2008, 01:31 AM

Right. Because that's exactly what Rob intended.

Thank you. I didn't like Spider-Man 3 as much as some other comic movies, but it was far from being a bad movie. I think some people need to watch Batman and Robin and Catwoman again to remember what an actual bad comic movie looks like.

Oh, and if people want to see a bad movie, go watch Troll II. By the end, you will be wishing that the DVD in your possession was Spider-Man 3.

Fight Club is an interesting movie. XDDDD

*ToTheNines* · 02-10-2008, 09:27 PM

Everyone should go see the Bucket List.

Zog the Equalizer · 02-10-2008, 10:46 PM

No Country for Old Men is finally coming to the theater here on Friday. Is it as good as everyone says? Also, do you think maybe we could get a sticky for this thread to keep the recommendations going?

*Spitfire* · 02-11-2008, 01:02 AM

It's an awesome film, but that hits you about 10 minutes after you left the theater. The ending really works and really makes the movie memorable.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 02-11-2008, 08:21 AM

Hell yeah, No Country for Old Men is amazing.

*cowabunga14* · 02-11-2008, 08:27 PM

Wonderin' if Inland Empire and Tetsuo: The Iron Man are any good.

*cqb101* · 02-11-2008, 08:32 PM

Inland Empire is good if you're a Lynch fan. It's definitely one of his weirdest, right up there with Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway. I'd say it might even be his strangest film.

Peanut · 02-11-2008, 08:36 PM

Anyone who likes Zombie movies, or just hilarious movies in general, should see Fido.

The story of a zombie plague that grips the world in the 1950's, but then, thanks to ZomCon, a collar is created to domesticate the undead. The story centers around a young boy and his family who get a zombie for themselves, and the relationship that grows between the young boy and "Fido". It's f*cking hilarious, and I recommend it highly to anyone, but especially fans of zombies.
