JD, I think I've always been the type to just...enjoy a movie.  I don't really feel the need to dissect it.  If I'm entertained...it's a winner!  At the same time, I'm not oblivious to glaring weaknesses.  Again though...if I'm excited and pumped at the end of the movie....why try to get all analytical and ruin that feeling?  Meh...  I guess it's just me.... :lol

I have come to have peace with the prequels in their own right.....but I no longer put up the defense that they are the equal of the OT.

They are enjoyable in their own right as popcorn movies.   (and the light saber duel in TPM is the best of all six movies...period)

They could have used a LOT more Darth Maul in that movie... :tup

Is that the Gerard Butler one ?

I heard that the Roland Emmerich directed White House Down is tongue-in-cheek. Which kinda makes me wanna see it.

Neither of them is any good, but White House Down does take itself less seriously. I'd say it was the better of the two because of that.

lol, I found both of them moderately entertaining.  But I thought White House Down was the better of the two.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

And even that is pretty much a shot for shot remake of the famous chariot race scene from Ben Hur.  (which I only saw for the first time about a year ago.  I wasn't sure it would live up to the hype, but it totally did....and the original is far better than the copy)

Kinda why I'm glad Disney has taken LucasArts. I hope VII will be amazing. The have some really high standards to beat with the OT, and I hope they prevail.

I remember the phrase "filthy lucre" from a school reading of "Great Expectations".  It stuck with me for some odd reason.

The phrase.  NOT any lucre...filthy or not.  :(

Rare positivity on the Internet.  This makes me genuinely happy.

So I'm sitting here watching a movie called Arachnoquake. You'd think the name says it all - an earthquake sets free some fairly large spiders on unsuspecting people, sure, the acting does suck, and unsurprisingly the CGI is pretty bad. But there's more...

- The spiders are bright pink. :huh:
- They can walk on water. I just watched them chase a boat on a river by running on the water behind it. :\
- They are FIRE BREATHING spiders. :mehlin

Genuinely awful.

One of the worst films I've ever seen was the 2005 "the magic roundabout" film. Just utterly utterly dreadful.

There was a movie I saw years upon years ago called Hell Cab or something like that. It was literally just a cab driver driving weird people around the whole movie. No plot, no climax, just weird people til the end.

I guess it's this movie:
