Shoot 'em up was fantastic.

This sums up like most of the movies and tv shows that I remember watching recently, especially of the "suspense/horror" genre. Although that might also be why I haven't watched many movies or tv shows lately.

Okay, just had to say one thing...
*takes a deep breath*
I haven't seen Pulse, but Reign of Fire? It was a TERRIBLE movie, don't get me wrong. But something about fighting dragons just had corny entertainment value.

Reign of Fire had my boys Chrstian Bale and Mathew McConaughey in it... how could it be bad?:shuriken:

Woah woah woah Vinnie, Shoot'em Up, like DeeBye said, was a a damn near perfect action movie. I mean it had *everything* you'd want to see in a wuxia-inspired, "the bad guys are bad and the good guys are bad", plot light movie.
While Shawshank Redemption or Schindler's List it is not, it is a *shining* example of a fun, over the top action movie.

Oh you did, I actually got some entertainment value from the posts and debated as to whether or not they would be allowed to stay or would be edited out. I figured they would be removed as it's not something you want to leave lying around as a precedent for others but the profanity filled infantile attempt at a flame did make me smile, perhaps because it reminded of some of the poor sops who tried to flame folks at the old The Calling boards and failed and then we got to be total aholes and pick them apart. It may simply have triggered some nostalgia for me.
I also agree with Hammerskjold, the fact he picked Cube 2 as a point to get all frothy about did get some points from me as well for originality if I were to hold a pointless stupid profanity filled rant contest. :) He got points in that contest for thread necromancy as well since I think the post he was referencing was nearly two years old (too lazy to double check now).

Not quite two years old GG. Just august of '06. So just over what... a year and a half or so?

What? I have to take exception to The Pest. Possibly the defining John Leguizamo movie, in my opinion. And I probably just messed up his last name.
And yeah, I'm serious. The movie is dumb as bricks, but that's sort of the point. :P
And while we're on the subject of horrible movies, the previews I'm seeing for Jumper have me worried. It looks like 90% of the book was jettisoned to turn it into a big blockbuster attempt. <_<
Ah well, I'll see it anyway. The teleportation effect alone is pretty damn shiny.
Now we just need someone to start adapting John Ringo books to film. There's no way to go wrong with Mike 'Ironman' O'Neal and Bouncing Betties with Posleen hordes or mothergrapping space marines versus Dreen... :shuriken:

Oh *hell* no. You did not just diss one of the coolest movies ever! They're clowns, from space! Who kill! And suck your blood out while your encased in cotton candy cocoons with massive silly straws!
Good old campy goodness is lost on you, isn't it?

Quote:I had the displeasure of going to watch Pulse today. Now I don't expect much from a "horror" movie, not every one can be Saw I or The Hills Have Eyes, but holy crap was this a stinking pile of garbage. I'd go so far to say that it was *worse* than Reign of Fire. The characters were inconsiquental and one-dimensional, the plot was non-exsistant, and the damn thing didn't even have shocking instants. Stay away from this movie, it is not even worth a free ticket.
I actually got all my friends together, we hooked up the lap top to the big screen and sat through it. Half way through the movie, a couple of people went home and a couple crashed in my bedroom. It was that bad, I can't believe nearly two hours of my life were wasted ...
