  1. I really like the improvements but I was really sad that they didn't even touch the Create a Team mode. It's one of my favorite things to do and it has the exact same problems as last years because all they did is touch up the graphics. They didn't even bother to add more logo's or stadium options. Oh well, I'll make due.
  2. Ah, The Patriots love continues here on EWB. (N)
  3. Spoiler: Click here to viewDale: [crying] I love you! Angie: [crying] I love you too! I want to marry you! Dale: [stops crying] Oh...I think I've made a mistake. I don't want to be with anyone who wants to be with me. You are just too immature for me. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: I was crying that whole scene.
  4. Nobody else cares if it's preseason other then the coaches and staff and those players trying to make the team. Although in that game Jarod Mayo kicked ass and LaMont Jordan looked really good. Hopefully he becomes my sleeper pick in my fantasy league.
  5. That offensive line in New York is no where near as good as the Packers line. I think if they can protect him Favre will have a field day throwing to those receivers. Do they have a better chance against Patriots? I don't know, probably a slightly better chance depending how fast Favre can adjust. As a Patriots fan I'm still more concerned about Buffalo having a breakout season then New York.
  6. Can't believe I forgot this; The series finale of "Six Feet Under" with the flash forwards set to Breathe Me by Sia. One of the most emotional 4 minutes ever on TV. I was a huge Six Feet Under fan and I just remember crying like crazy.
  7. The ending of Fight Club with Edward Norton and Helen Bonham-Carter staring out over a city of exploding, falling skyscrapers against the backdrop of The Pixies "Where is My Mind?". Still gives me goosebumps. Also on a cheesier note the scene under the waterfall in Last of the Mohicans makes me swoon like a little girl every time. EDIT: Also in Alien 3, when Charles S Dutton gives the speech about how they are going to fight the alien and the music swells....Fucking love that!
  8. I have a soft spot for the end of Swingers when they are swing dancing. The music and the scene are just the perfect moment.
  9. I didn't blow my load over it like most people have seen it, calling it a horror classic and all. But I did like it. It's not really scary, it's more of a gory drama about the lives of a drifting band of vampires and their struggles to stay out of the daylight and away from the police, despite their constant bloodthirst. Yeah but crazy homicidal Bill Paxton is worth the hour and a half.
  10. I'm not a big Red Sonja fan but it's a pretty sweet poster. I'm all for bad ass female movie characters.
  11. I wasn't a fan of Diary of the Dead. However I think Quarantine looks like what I thought Diary of the Dead should have been. Plus it's from the guys that did The Poughkeepsie Tapes, and that movie was fantastic. And Clive Barker said in an interview he got to see Midnight Meat Train and said he felt it was one of the best adaptations of his work. I saw Visitor Q about a year ago. It's not a horror movie and it's not a drama...I don't think so anyways. We were laughing the whole time because of how far it tries to go to shock you. Reminded me a lot of Pink Flamingo's. It was terrible and I like Miike movies but this one was just dumb. Avoid it.
  12. Thought it was fantastic. Part 3 made me sad though, seemed to come out of left field. I did like it very much though and probably would have thought less of it had it had a different ending.
  13. I would assume because it's an untested comic project - 300 got released in March and Sin City was in April. Still, it was a fantastic trailer, and using "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" was just an awesome touch. Plus if Snyder is to be believed, they didn't change anything about the ending and that ending is sure not going to be regarded as a "summer movie ending".
  14. Cannibal Holocaust. Had a boyfriend in college who showed it to me and some friends. It wasn't even one of those gory movies that are fun to watch just to see how far they will go i.e. Audition or Hostel. It was just terrible and made me feel terrible for a few days after. I was really sitting there thinking everyone involved should really be ashamed of themselves for it.
  15. Looked fantastic. I loved the song they used as I always felt it was a great Pumpkins song just no one remembers it because it was on a terrible movie soundtrack.
  16. Just got back from an IMAX screening. By far the best superhero movie ever made. Also one of the best movies about morality I think ever made as well. I'll be seeing this a few more times in the theater. Everything was just fucking perfect. Except.... Spoiler: Click here to viewPlease tell me Dent is still alive. I liked the ending a lot and it really summed up the picture as a whole I feel. However, there is still so much more that can be done with the Dent vs Batman/Wayne foundation laid here. As much as I loved the ending, I feel that if they killed off Dent then they've blown it big time. I hope beyond anything that they are keeping him locked away, maybe in Arkham, and in the third movie he somehow escapes. But like I said, the movie itself was so far and beyond what Nolan could have gotten away with as a sequel. Ledger deserves the Supporting Actor award for making probably the scariest villain since Hannibal Lecter. When he was on screen I was scared of what he would do next and when he was off the screen, I was scared of when he'd show up. His "magic trick" at the beginning made sure you were aware that at any given time this guy could just explode with violence. See this movie as soon as possible.

    Max Payne

    Looks great until you find out they've made it PG-13. :/
  18. Not sure what you are talking about VinnyT. Thought it took everything great from the first one, got rid of the annoying crap, and added even more awesomeness. I loved it very much.
  19. Wow. It was a film. Come on. Sorry, that's a bit harsh. I know a lot of people have been upset about this film, but was anything you saw too far removed from the original Indy films? Yes, Mutt swung from some vines, but Indy also regulary swings from a whip, which is probably next to impossible. The monkeys were a little daft, yes, and I grant you the fridge stuff was a bit far fetched (although it's also one of my favourite parts of the film), but everything else I feel is more than justifiable given the world that Indy lives in, and the other adventures that he's had. It's a crazy, rip-roaring adventure, too much logic would bog the whole thing down. It's a little far fetched than the other films, but given that those had knights that had lived for centuries, a radio for speaking to God, a Nazi monkey, voodoo slaves, removing hearts from chests, giant vampire bats, snake surprise, a German airplane crashing perfectly through a tunnel alongside a car without causing any damage, and people jumping out of a plane in a rubber dinghy, surviving and using it to surf down a mountain then float along a river. Next to all that, gunpowder being attracted to a supermagnetic box and monkeys that sympathise with Mutt because they have a similar hairstyle and a tree supporting a cars weight don't seem that farfetched at all. On a personal note, I loved it. Like everywhere, it divided the people I was seeing it with, but I really enjoyed it. I wasn't a fan of the alien angle, but as previously mentioned, it's a 50's set adventure film, so focusing it around the Roswell incident is all pretty fine with me. Good stuff. 8/10 That's really annoying to always hear the "well unbelievable things happened in the original so what's the problem" argument. In the original things happened that seem to make sense in the real world. Yes the supernatural elements were "supernatural" but we never had to deal with patriotic monkey's in Temple of Doom. In the other films there were maybe 2-3 scenes where the filmmakers took creative license with physics, but in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull it's really scene after scene of impossible stunt after impossible stunt. Not too mention the plot devices that seem like throwaways. Such as the FBI agents saying at the start "we'll be watching you" and then disappear even after Indy is chased on a motorcycle around a university and then leaves the freakin' country. I mean what was the damn point of them then? Just to give Indy a reason to leave the school at the beginning? That's the best plot device they could have come up with?
  20. That's really sad. It's so strange how some people you think would die first go on living when others who look perfectly healthy survive for much longer. I, unfortunately, saw Made of Honor and he didn't look any worse then he did last year in Michael Clayton or a long time ago in something like Eyes Wide Shut for that matter.
  21. I wouldn't mind seeing the 300 guys make a movie about the war between Athens and Sparta. I think the movies I'm most anxious for would be The Avengers movie, the final Harry Potter, and Transformers 2. Iron Man 2 also. And as long as Dark Knight is good (and I'm praying it will be) then Batman 3. Also, isn't Aronofsky doing a movie about wrestling? That should be good too.
  22. I think with the other movies, even though the ark, the magic stones, and the cup, are themselves just as strange as Aliens I think in the end because everything was done for real basically that you bought those things as being grounded in reality. The action, the plot, and acting all helped sell those other things as being real. The bad CGI, even if it was an homage to the 50's films, just took me out of the movie so instead instead of just going with it I kept noticing everything I hated. Having seen it twice it still bothers me how little danger the actors appear to be in. Think back to the first three movies and in nearly every action set piece Indy was literally in mortal danger and you felt he was. Example, the beginning of Raiders when he's trying to escape the cave. In Temple when he and Shortround are in the spike room and Mrs. Spielberg has to reach into the bug infested hole to let them out. Or even Crusades when he's fighting the guy on the tank. All those times Indy was getting beat up and was in a dire situation. I NEVER ONCE felt like he was in anything he knew he would get out of, any of the characters for that example. I mean did Indy even bleed once in the movie? Did anyone actually bleed in this movie? I mean the only people the Russians ever kill on screen are the guards at the gate and they are supposed to be our bad guys? The more I think about the more I really didn't like this movie and the more I'm inclined to ignore it from the original trilogy. So I'm done now. Unless the DVD comes out loaded with 3 hours of extra features which are fantastic....I think I've seen this movie for the last time.
  23. So I saw it again with some big Indiana Jones fans hoping maybe if I was with them I would feed off they're excitement and enjoy the movie this time. Nope. Hated it even more now, before I liked parts of it but I was distracted by what I disliked I kept feeling annoyed. The people I was with didn't like either and they said they'd just ignore it and watch the other three again. God I really wanted to like this movie.
