seen a movies lately?

[ramble on rose]

I took my daughter to see her first movie in the theater yeterday, it was The Spongebob Squarepants Movie!!! Yeah I'm hip. So, I was curious as to what all of you have gone to see in the theater recently. I know there was a topic started about the movie Saw, but what else? I don't know how the rest of you feel about going to the theater, but myself I am rather picky about what I will pay to see. Prices are outrageous! I saw Team America with my sister and it cost $9.00 a piece! WTF is up with that? Luckily My girl was free since she is so young and during the day makes it cheaper to, but man they really F you on prices. And don't get me started about the price of snacks. Ramble, ramble. One love.

ramble,


I haven’t seen a movie in ages.... I just seem to rent them. I've been so busy lately by the time the weekends comes I don't want to do anything. And going to the movies is way too much effort. I just bought a plasma TV so that doesn’t help the situation. It's like I have my own movie theater and I can drink beer!!! Why go out....

[ramble on rose]

Ihear you, my husband and I were watching the local news last night, and they surveyed men and women as to what they wanted for xmas. according to them most women said "peace and happiness", while most men said "big screen tv". He agreed any man would love one,so we concluded thatif all the men in the world would provoked violence, well all men in general were intitled to a big screen there would be no more fighting since that is what all men seem to really want. Then we would all win. Sorry you had to be there it was a funny conversation, but that made me think of it. We waitand rent mostly ourselves, the goodiesavailible at home are always much better. smileys/smiley2.gif I just couldn't resist having spongebob be my girls first movie theater experiance.

[sass]

the last movie I saw in the theatre was the last Lord of The Rings. I cried at the end.smileys/smiley19.gif

[ragmop]

Spongebob Squarepants with the kids. Before that The Incredibles, again with the kids. Sensi a theme here? My last adult movie? Passion of the Christ--sucked (perhaps the most multi-dimensional historical figure is reduced to a one-dimensional whippin' post. Okay I get, Mel, he suffered a great, great deal!) But yeah, I hear ya, ramble, the prices suck, but matinees aren't as bad on the wallet. And snacks? F that! The goodies are purchased elsewhere (at a sane price) and come in via thecontra route. And altho I feel kinda shitty forthe theatre by doin' that, I amsupportin the local Walgreen's or Osco, who are satisfied with a reasonable profit. Damn, talk about ramble, ramble--sorry about that.


Peace.

[Monica*]

in chicago its $6 before 6pm and $8.75 after. We always sneek in drinks
and shacks though. Oh... we go to the dollar show too. Although it
costs 2dollars.

[chrissy]

Last one I saw was the new Bridget Jones. It was good, pretty much equal to the first. The best part was that my fiance went with me willingly, I thought I was going to have to drag him kicking and screaming.


I really want to see Closer, Christmas with the Kranks (good book) and Meet the Fockers. However, with all the good rentals that have been or are being released I haven' neededto get out. I think I will definitely take the kids to see Sponge Bob though, I so love having them as an excuse to see stuff like that!

[sauce.baby]

last thing i saw was spider man 2 'cause i had a free ticket from buying the special edition spider man 1 lol i am so damn picky about what i see in the theaters it ain't even funny! ok.. well, maybe a little smileys/smiley17.gif


last thing i saw before that was return of the kind [lotr] and, yes, i cried too! so sad to see such a great trillogy come to and end.. smileys/smiley19.gif


i love to sneak in food! when i was younger and livin with my dad, one time we snuck in whoppers and fries and another time my step-mom snuck in two fully popped bags of our own popcorn plus 3 cans of pop.. she had a big ass purse! lol there's actually a theater near by that lets you bring your own food in if you're waiting for a premier.. brought ina bunchof dollar stuff fromwendy's andthe localampm while waiting for the two towers with some friends. good times..

[Sherri]

The last movie I saw was "The Incredibles" and it was great!


I don't even have kids, but I went anyway...I loved it, the characters are adorable!

[ramble on rose]

I heard the incredible was good. After we finished the Spongebob movie my little one wanted to go see it, she was ready to run into all the theaters. she's hooked. I used to sneak food in all the time too, lately since going to the theater is few and far between I am too burnt too remember. Before this movie and team america, which i could not pass up, because of my love for trey parker and Matt stone(geniuses) my last movie was the return of the king too. Monica, you still have $1 theaters by you? Manthose were the best. ragmop so you didn't like the passion huh, i have never watched it myself, but everyone says, "you HAVE to see it" and i am like what ever I'll get around to it, it doesn't appeal to me too much. Rambling uncontrollable, must stop...


I'm a goofy goober! ROCK! We're all goofy goobers!Edited by: ramble on rose

[ragmop]

Yeah, Passion did not live up to my expectations. I wasn't a zealot to see it, but m'lady and me had nothin to do one night, so . . . I guess I wanted character development (selfish me!); Mel Gibson appeared to only want blood, torture, blood, pain, blood, anguish, blood, ridicule, scorn, blood . . . well you get the picture.Oh well, to each his own.


I understand many were moved by it. If so, I think that's wonderful. Just not me. Rent it and let me know what you think, oh ramble of similar wavelength!

[Sherri]

I did not like that movie either...not one bit.

[gmail]

I just watched Chronicles of Riddick lated night. Holly shit that
was a crazy movie.

[ramble on rose]

did you like it, because i thought pitch black wasnt too bad, and they are based on the same character arent they? I myself sat down to Kill Bill Vol.2 last night. Definatly not as good as volume one.


ragmop my wave buddy, i will definatly check out the movie and let you know.Edited by: ramble on rose

[ragmop]

I did not like that movie either...not one bit.


Amen, Sherri. You know, our voicing opposition to the Passion doesn't mean we'reanti-Christ or not supporting our God in the war on terror.


smileys/smiley2.gif

[Monica*]

Yea, the dollar show rocks. the movies are show like a month or so before they get to the movie stores. its not the cleanest movie theatre but you can bring in food and beer and the people working there don't care enough to stop you. I've actually blow hitters in the theatre too. the on;y bad thing i can say about it is is that it is not the quietest place. you will def. have those few people that yell at the movie and pick up there cells. whtvr. can't beat $2!!

[ragmop]

I'm a goofy goober! ROCK! We're all goofy goobers!





Second that. . .

[greengirlie]

[ramble on rose]

I have recently seen both movies myself kelli420, and I was a bit disappointed myself. Especially with spiderman, because I was so looking forward to it, I loved the first one. I should have known better. Shrek, was ok, I mostly rented it for my daughter, she loves the first one, and she enjoyed this one. She loved puss and boots, it's Antonio can you blame her. You gotta love the desperado!

[BootyCall21]

[louweezles]

That was a little scary - leave my wedding planner alone!smileys/smiley6.gif


Anyway saw the anchorman - it was crappy and funny - but just what i needed on the last day of exams. Wait til it's a rental!

[ramble on rose]

It's all good, my little sister thinks she can talk the trash because we are parted by a few states. She'll get hers next month. Isn't that right little one smileys/smiley2.gif Watch out, my girl lou's got my back! And stop calling me fat ass, everyone is gonna think I really am, besidesI'm not fat I'm Festivally plump..lol.. Don't worry ragmop I won't let her get away with it, I will let her talk now and fix her when I see her.

[ramble on rose]

not so good.. smileys/smiley6.giftho, if cards get played right, i might score a 15" flatpannel free of cost
woohoo!


[tho i think i'd rather have a burner.. even tho there's no room left in my comp lol]

[ragmop]

sweet!

[Monica*]

so rose and bootycall are really sisters?! thats cute.

[greengirlie]

i know...2 g.lovin sisters.... both my sisters hate glass.... smileys/smiley19.gifthey've enver seen them live tho. might take my older sister to NO with me.

[greengirlie]

i wanan see closer- anyone seen it?


my mom said it sucked. but she also thought momento sucked and tons of my other favorite movies!

[ramble on rose]

yes monica we really are sisters. she is my younger sis, and my husband and I got her into glass. We always try to influence glass on everyone. We took her to her first glass show. It is nice to have a sibling with some good taste in music!


Ok, so I watched the new version of Dawn Of The Dead, and I liked it. We all know you can usually never do better then the original, so as long as you don't expect it to be you will enjoy it. It has quite a bit of suspense and gore, but not too nasty. The story line was similar butnot exact. All and all I think it is a good watch, if you are a horror movie fan.

[BootyCall21]

u know what smileys/smiley7.gif .. ur not a "fat ass" but u know what u are older then me so i can kick ur ass now punk.. (love ya sis smileys/smiley2.gif ) ne ways... yeah i can talk trash... few states what ever were only 7 hours away from eachother.. one month today an i will be in va... smileys/smiley4.gif Ya she is a cool sis for getting me in to glass and slightly stoopid an all the other bands.. an i try to keep my mind open to all music's...

[G'sLuva]

"IHeart Huckabees" was a great movie. For all of you "cerebral" folks-you have to check it out.





And "Closer". All I can say is what a mind f*ck. Natalie Portman is INCREDIBLE in this movie. Much props to that braniac.

[ben04]

I need to still see both!! And I really want to see Meet the Fockers and life Aquatic!

[ramble on rose]

I am dying to see life aquatic myself, love bill murray!!!! I heart huckabees looked like i would enjoy it, I will have to check it out.

[Monica*]

omg!!!! movie junkie here. seriously not gonna et started on this topic right now. too drunk. but i cannot wait to see those movies.


mmmm..... wilson bros....

[ben04]

mmmm..... wilson bros....





I love them! I can't decide which I like more!

[BoPicasso]

I watched Troy last night, Brad is a stud! He definately fit the part...

[Mr. Cleanface]

I saw "The Aviator" this past weekend. Fecking awesome movie!!! Scorcese did it again. Leo is a great actor, Kate Blanchett was really good too. Not alot of plot/suspense etc...just a very good movie about a very eccentric man, Howard Hughes. That guy was a mad scientist/genius/insane. I am a history/biography buff so I liked it alot, my girl thought it was a little boring. 3 hrs.

I want to see this movie so badly. Thanks for the review.

[BoPicasso]

I have been on imdb.com and Scorcese is comin out with The Departed. Its got Leo and Matt Damon, looks good!.. Its gonna come out in 2005.
Also Guy Ritchie is comin out with a movie in 05 called Revolver.. That looks real good! Looking forward till the movies in 05..

If Revolver is anything like Snatch and Lock Stock and ... then I am looking forward to it!

[BoPicasso]

Yea I loved both of them movies too...

[kelli420]

snatch was a great movie

[ramble on rose]

Ok you guys, saw 3 movies this weekend while my sister was in town. First, Soul Plane. It wasn't bad, alot of good humor, I think if I my in movie snack was the greens, it would have made for a bit more laughter, but I was funny and enjoyable. Snoop had us rollin.Second, Dodgeball!!!!!! Very funny, alot of laugh out loud to the point of annoying everyone in the house moments. I definatly enjoyed it. And third, Resident Evil: Apocolypse. Good shit. My man and I are big fans of the video games, and enjoyed the first film, and so we thought this one did not dissapoint. It did go away from the story line we are used to from the game a bit, but we are intrieged as to where the journey will take us in the next film. Okay so now that I have sounded like a Siskel and Ebert show I will end with a thumbs up for them all!

[kelli420]

i thought soul plane was funny shit...especially ith a fattie

[chrissy]

Dodgeball was pretty funny. I just watched Harold and Kumar got to White Castle. That was one of the funniest movies I'd seen in a long time, would've been way funnier if I was smoking though. Oh well, guess I'll have to rent it again. smileys/smiley2.gif

[BoPicasso]

I liked that alot better than dodgeball.. But thats just my opinion. I cant get myself to watch soul plane.
I rent movies a 7 days a week, (cause I burn them) and I just have no desire for that one...

[louweezles]

If you like to laugh til yr ass falls offbut still enjoy the gore of a horror film - may i recommend 'Shaun of the dead'.


It's a rom/com with zombies and one of the funniest films i have seen in a looooong time.


best served with a large bowl of popcorn and a big fat spliff!!smileys/smiley17.gif

My BF talked me into watching that, I was really surprised that I liked it! Very funny, are those guys in anything else?

[ramble on rose]

That movie looks great I can't wait to see it. My two favorite types of films comedy and horror rolled into one, can't wait!!!!

[Monica*]

i just cant bring my self to rent soul plane either.


harold and kumar, funny manchurian canidate, long but really good resident evil, badd ass!! love Mila J. super size me, interesting and awesome paparazzi, ha! i think any photographer would have trouble sleeping after seeing that movie. good shit.


omg!! bootlegs.... ladder 49 and oceans 12 love it.


oh yeah, can't wait for the new ritchie flick. locked, stocked and 2 smoking barrels is one of my favs.

[PERRY]

Watched a movie called "employee of the Month". Wicked cool ass flick. Matt Dillon, Christina Applegate. Def. a must see for anyone. Never know the ending was going to happen like it did. Also saw Napolean Dynomite, Give it a five out of ten. Some funny parts, Most of which were in the trailers. That is one funny lookin nerd. Watching Troy tonite, hope it's good. Peace PERRY.

[B-Love]

I finally saw Napolean Dynamite...I'm with Perry..5 out of 10..People are raving about it, I honestly don't think it's that great. There are some funny parts, but overall I think it is a little over rated.

[PERRY]

I thought the soundtrack would be better. Just not that good a movie IMO. I was expecting to laugh a lot more. The wifey fell asleep. smileys/smiley12.gif smileys/smiley21.gif

[ramble on rose]

I was not interested in that one, glad to have trusted my instinct. Just something about that dude thatweirds me out.


So I was over at the G.W. Bush topic, and all the revolution talk made me think of a real cool movie I saw called, Steal this Movie. It is about Abbie Hoffman and his group who protested Vietnam back in the day. Civil Rights leaders and radicals who would not stand for the oppression of our people against the government! power to the people!! right on! I have never read his book intitled, Steal this Book, hence the name of the movie, but it sounds like it is time to brush up. But really it isa great movie if you like good movies with plots and no special effects. Vincent Dinafrio plays Hoffman, you may know him as Private pile in full metal jacket(badass flick) or law and order. I believe he also directs or produces the movie. Enough of my rambling. It is a good movie you will not be dissapointed. One Love.


*Did you say your name was......*

[ragmop]

on your recommendation, i'll check it out . . .

[phillipshead]

Napolean Dynamite was great....Shaun of the Dead was absolutely amazing. Great zombie/love story.

[louweezles]

Sorry Chrissy - yes they have done other things - no films that i know of but they did a comedy show called Spaced and a sketch show called Big Train. Definately worth a look in.

[BoPicasso]

Just saw The Forgotten with Jullian Moore. Good movie. Had me jump off the couch a few times..

[Abilities]

Garden State, Ned Kelly, and Resident Evil 2.

[dalmation]

I just watched "Wild At Heart" last night.
It was a very strange, wacky, crazy, sexy, cool kinda flick.

David Lynch style of course.

But I realy liked it.

Recommended!!!

[ramble on rose]

anyone else see "the village" it was good, not quite what i expected it to be, but I guess that is what I should have expectd from m. knight shamalamadingdong.

[Sherri]

yeah, I didn't think it was all that great..I did watch a good one last night though, "Dirty Pretty Things." Good movie.

[PERRY]

m. knight shamalamadingdong.

Good one, he does make some scary ass movies though.

that he does. He is a is a director/writer that is actually unique, you just don't see that too much anymore.

[dalmation]

My friend dated his son Austin do you know him?

[Pokie325]

[kelli420]

i love movies...swordfish, transporte, matrixs', kill bills...all the old classics...uhh well lots u name it i prolly love it..o queen of the damned, underworld.


all time fav ols move is robin hood price of thieves and whats eating gilbert grape. im sure theres lots i havnt mentioned. butterfly effect was cool.


wanna see constantine and all those other new scary movies. i couls use another good comedy too

[ramble on rose]

I saw Shaun Of The Dead the other night. It was pretty damn good. I liked it it was a great combo horror and comedy. There is a great scene of zombie fighting in a pub the characters frequented and the jutbox was palying a great song to kick ass to, it was too funny. See it!!!!

[ragmop]

Finally sat down and watched Whalerider. Awesome story and beautifully shot flick. You will not be disappointed. I thinkthe film and/or the young actress was/were nominated last year for Academy Award(?). Drawn to it b/c it was anything but mainstream. Loved it for the story.


(P.S. Kid friendly, except for one "dick" reference and brief glimpse of a pipe.)

[Pokie325]

omg! that movie is great. it's even more awesome that ligers actully exsist!

[fountainqueen]

don't see 'in good company.' waste of time.


'the aviator' was excellent. kate plays an amazing kathryn hepburn, and, surprisingly, leo pulled off the late howard hughes very well. i didn't expect much from him. a lot of howard's life was cut off though- perhaps b/c we were meant to keep a relatively positive view of howard in the end, instead of being dragged deeper into his neurosis?


'million dollar baby' takes some emotional endurance- go in with kleenexes, regardless of gender. honestly, this movie could be acted by cats, and it would still be gut-wrenching. had i to do it over again, i would have seen 'hitch.' ...though i'll probably see that soon anyway, b/c i've heard good things.


i just rented 'control room' about al jazeera. quite interesting- i started it late, so i've only seen half of it, but it's propaganda/documentary that is, as you would expect, very controversial- not in a michael moore sort of way, but borderline.


...and i'm spent.

[BoPicasso]

Just watched City of God. Excellent movie about growing up in the slums of Rio De Jinero. True story, if u cant handle about 200 people being murdered, including kids, dont watch this movie. Also its subtitled. Latin version of Goodfellas.

[misses obrien]

^ Same





City of God would be the last movie I watched.


Alone, by myself, watching a foreign movie.



GO ME. But it's SO SO SO incredibly good. Loved how it would told in sections

[MINTY]

City of God is classic the part when he gets the kid to shootthe other kid . (i know it aint that discriptive sry) But it was some edge of the seat stuff. Great film
