Antacular Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I never got that Batman was able to pound away at Bane in the final fight, just that he was smart enough to go for the mask this time around. I mean, Bane was still punching holes through concrete during the melee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Watched ELYSIUM last night. Blomkamp really needs to better understand the uses and abuses of social commentary and science fiction. If I get around to it, I've gotta put up a "Neill Blomkamp vs Paul Verhoeven" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Also, I just checked Wiki to see what the hell Geena Davis has been up to after she fell off the face of the earth film-wise after this, and it's pretty awesome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geena_Davis Three kids in her mid-forties... damn. Plus trying out for the Olympic archery team. She just put out a video on Funny or Die a couple months ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I love Geena Davis 1000x more now. And I already did. "Support gender equality in film and archery" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Austin Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Tabe's comment about Jonny Lee Miller's character in Hackers got me thinking, you know, in the end, it was Joey, who didn't have the fancy nickname, who had the skills to break into Ellingson and not get taken out by Plague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kenny Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 It's weird. I hate Michael Bay but I love both Tony Scott and Renny Harlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Tony Scott was awesome. Linking him to those two hacks is indefensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I just watched ONLY GOD FORGIVES. I feel that I'd have to watch it again to really formulate a coherent opinion. I also probably won't do that. Still, can't agree with anyone placing this on a "Worst Of" end of year list. Surely there is lazier stuff to fit the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I watched A Field In England the other day, I'd seen it advertised when it came out earlier this year, and I had been under the impression that it was some kind of straight historical drama. It's more like a trippy atmospheric almost-thriller set during the English civil war, it really took me by surprise. The tension comes and goes, and it wanders a bit, but the setting is used well, it looks beautiful and the small cast are all decent - Reece Shearsmith and Michael Smiley are especially good. The mushroom scene is amazing, if possibly seizure-inducing for some. Anyone else have an opinion on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Got home from work and walked into about the halfway point of Ang Lee's Hulk. Nick Nolte pretty much saves this entire movie, he has the crazy dialed up to 11 and it's the most watchable part in the whole thing. The effects actually hold up better than I thought they would. It definitely looked dated in that early 2000s CG way, but are pretty decent overall. I actually like the comic panel effects, I remember being very anti- after seeing it the first time however many years ago. Whoa...ha ha ha...this underwater fight thing at the end is cheesy as fuck though...ha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 For one to make a coherent opinion of Only God Forgives would require Only God Forgives to be coherent. That's why it's best watched under the influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Marked for Death was on the other day and now Hard to Kill is on.

Lazlo Woodbine Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He's still great, it's just the budget's aren't so great. I saw one a while ago where he was dubbed for the first few scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo Woodbine Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Are all of these "Worst movie scenes of all time" so awesomely watchable? I can't fathom the mindset of whoever made that video, one of the worst scenes ever because wires? "Obviously there is no gravity in this room..." - I even read it in a whiney, nasal voice. I'm off to watch more of these things, obviously. EDIT: The first one is from On Deadly Ground, fucking hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
