  1. Corpse Bride- ***1/4 -This was totally solid, but missing something at the same time. It seems like there was 2-3 really fun, memorable scenes that Tim Burton must have accidently took out right before it went to theatres. The characters were good (both major and minor) and the visuals were great, so it's a little frustrating that the film didn't do more. But maybe in the longrun this was the better choice. Unbreakable- *** -A little slow at times, but I like the pacing okay. I like M. Night but he is waaaay too overrated in some circles. Sometimes I think he tries to do too much, but in this case he kept it simple and it worked.
  2. I thought the topic said "24 games for 9.99".
  3. The Jerk- ***** One of my all time favorites. And one of the most quotable movies ever. "He hates these cans! Stay away from the cans!"
  4. Storm of the Century- **3/4 They honestly didn't need to take that long to accomplish what they did. So much of the movie could have been taken out. I didn't really become interested until the courthouse stuff, which was great. The ending was too much of a downer. This is King's problem with pretty much everything he does. Great set-up, great progression, shitty ending. I don't mind endings like this one, but it was so anti-climatic for me. If I'm going to sit down and watch a 4 hour movie, the ending better be something a lot better than that. It seems like he had a great idea and he really knew how to play up on that particular fear, but he totally didn't know how to end it in a satisfying way. Maybe it would be okay if it was an hour and a half, but come on, that's four fucking hours, Steve. Give me something I can feel good about! Eh, I'm just pissed I spent four hours for an ending that left me hanging. It was decent stuff, even if the casting of Andre Linoge was awful. Pretty okay though, aside from a few major gripes.
  5. That case is worth it alone, but I'm afraid I won't be buying it as I already own a copy and I'd rather spend my extra cash on movies I don't own. Still, that's a hell of a deal for only 20 bucks.
  6. But wouldn't that be exactly the same as the system i was using already, only using 0.5 instead of 1, so it is still going up at the same proportion? In effect it is used to seperate two or more entries that are relatively close to each other, so the ranking scheme works easier. Although i'll take them ideas into considreation next time (Y)
  7. 1. Misfits 2. Frank Sinatra 3. Johnny Cash 4. Danielson 5. Flogging Molly 6. The Psalters 7. Reverend Horton Heat 8. The Pogues 9. Rancid 10. Ballydowse
  8. I wouldn't mind seeing a movie based on the Ramones. The PBS documentary that aired a little over a year ago was excellent and the story would translate onto the big screen. If the movie was put in the right hands and had a Sid and Nancy feel, it would be hard to screw up.
  9. They cut out about a minute or two from every episode now for syndication because commercials are longer now than they were a few years ago. Every syndicated show gets clipped unless it was made not too long ago. It's pretty much the best reason to buy older seasons of shows on DVD because you'll get the whole episodes. They always seem to cut out great bits that didn't necessarily move the plot.
  10. I think all of us who have had a choice here and there criticized can all thank SWCWS for taking some of the heat off of us.
  11. 1) Godfather 2 2) Lord of the Rings: Return of the King 3) Dawn of the Dead (original) 4) Pulp Fiction 5) Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 6) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 7) Godfather 8) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 9) Star Wars: A New Hope 10) Wayne's World 11) Battle Royale 12) O Brother, Where Art Thou? 13) Citizen Kane 14) All the President's Men 15) 12 Angry Men 16) Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 17) This is Spinal Tap 18) Fight Club 19) When Harry Met Sally 20) Terminator 2
  12. I edited in This is Spinal Tap and Shaun of the Dead because the pure integrity of this project demands it.
  13. Well, if you don't go, you wasted money on two tickets, but if you give one of them away to a friend so that they can go with you, you've only wasted money on one ticket.
  14. 1. Mystery Science Theatre 3000: The Movie 2. The Jerk 3. Clerks 4. This is Spinal Tap 5. Shaun of the Dead 6. Wayne's World 7. Office Space 8. Groundhog Day 9. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 10. Dumb and Dumber
  15. Now that I think about it, did anyone ever get sick of all of the Shawn drama? My friends and I had a reoccuring joke that Shawn's dad seemed to have died like five times or something.
  16. House of the Dead and Return of the TCM are clearly bad films, but I think they're ranked too high.
  17. I guess I can forget about getting the college years on DVD. Those are the only ones I really want.
