What Did You Watch Today?

[Benjamin]

Watching Bambi again made my day. Amazing.

So I've watched Destroy All Monsters today, although it was not the best Godzilla movie I've seen so far I did like it a lot because well, every goddamn monster untill that point is in it! I'm taking it slow but since pas June I've seen the first 9 Godzilla movies. 21 more to go!

Mission to Lars

It features Metallica and will make you blub like a girl, what's not to love.

Sort of half watching Back to the Future 2 while working from home, can still quote half the film but couldn't remember it being so sweary...

Complaining about swear words!? What are you? Chicken?

Recent watches - most on DVD:

Percy Jackson & The Sea of Monsters - It was a tossup between seeing this or City of Bones, but my girlfriend wanted to see a film we could take her son along to, and we weren't too sure about it. Not quite as good as the first Percy Jackson movie, but still a darn good film. Hope there's a new villain in the third film and that Luke is either really dead this time, or doesn't return until the fourth one.

Now You See Me - Not too bad, but I don't quite agree the ending sucked. They've already said that there will be a sequel, and the director and cast are already on board.

Did anyone else think that the Interpol agent was the fifth member for a portion of the movie? I figured out who it was way before the reveal, but for a bit it seemed like she could be. Morgan Freeman would have been way too obvious, so I'm glad they didn't go that route.

Olympus Has Fallen - Damn, I hope there's a sequel with Gerard Butler's character kicking more ass.

World War Z - If you accept that its a side story to the novel rather than the actual novel done as a film, its a good movie. But there are some moments from the novel that I wish had been in the film (ie, the Indian general fighting zombies that was mentioned while in Israel).

[Benjamin]

Just thank God you didn't choose City Of Bones.

Plus, your girlfriend's son would have been super scarred from that movie.

Life of Pi, it's still all sinking in.

[Jimmy]

Someone actually though the first Percy Jackson film was anything but embarrassingly shit?

[livid]

Jimmy has entered the "utter cunt about other peoples taste in movies" phase of film school, I see. Don't worry we've all been there.

Percy Jackson isn't that awful. It's not good but it shouldn't be unsurprising it has audience considering it got a sequel.

[Jimmy]

I hated that film before film school. It was so bad.

[LL!]

Jimmy knows.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Scotty doesn't know.

To me, film school never ended.

Percy Jackson is pretty cringeworthy, but I probably would have dug it when I was a kid. I get why people like it.

[Your Mom]

It's actually been a bit but I liked the new Star Trek movie. I totally get why old school type fans didnt though. Lots of action stuff which I like and they expanded Simon Pegg's role a bit which I was also a big fan of. I dont get the amazement behind Sherlock guy though (I know his name just dont want to try and spell it) I mean I like him. He was great in Sherlock but he didnt exactly blow me away in this.

Also I remember there being a controvery over the scene with blond girl in her underwear. Unless they edited it I dont see what the big deal was.

Also also it was cool seeing Robocop be a big part of the movie

[LL!]

The big deal was that her screen time is all of like 5 minutes, and a chunk of it was wasted on a gratuitous underwear shot. As a testosterone-filled male I liked it, but as a smart, and respectful person who thinks women are mistreated in Hollywood, that was fucking awful.

And Benedict Cumberbatch is easy to spell, but I still don't know the right way to pronounce it. I hear it in 2 different ways all the time.

[Your Mom]

Oh! Yeah she was hardly in it. I thought it had something to do with the scene it's self. She did seem a little pointless

[Monkey D. Lars]

The Three Caballeros, I have to add this song to my nomination list.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCQY6hd4WW4

We're three caballeros
Three gay caballeros
They say we are birds of a feather
We're happy amigos
No matter where he goes
The one, two, and three goes
We're always together

A lot of Star Trek Into Darkness' problems can be seen through the female characters. Carol Marcus is a highly intelligent science officer reduced to a gratitious tit shot and having Daddy issues, while Uhura is now recast as the nagging woman rolling her eyes at anything Spock does. JJ Abrams must have been having a few arguments with his wife during the scriptwriting process or something.

[Your Mom]

Carol saved Bones from that torpedo thing though. And Uhura was the only one who knew how to speak Klingon
