I wish we had a two dollar theatre around here. They're all $10+. I've never even heard of a two dollar theatre until i visited north carolina a few years ago. Yes, I'm the forum ![[devil]](/images/smilies/devil.gif "[devil]") ... Any questions?Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel. |

My best friend dragged me to Hellboy II even though I've never seen the first movie. It actually wasn't half-bad; cliched in places but the settings and some of those costumes/makeup work more than made up for it. I saw Wall-E a few weeks ago; it was brilliant and anyone who hasn't seen it yet needs to go see it NOW. I'm nearly broke right now, so I have to wait a few weeks for The Dark Knight to be bumped to the discount price at my local theater before I go see it.

@ Dreamnorn: My sisters thought Kung-Fu Panda was brilliant, but then again they're 11 and act younger than their age so... I don't know XD As for Dark Knight, I've heard what everyone's saying about it so I'll probably drag my friends to see it XD I think it's the last movie Heath Ledger did, and he apparently did an amazing job of the Joker. |

Two dollar theatres are wonderful! The Spectrum charges tons of money for just one ticket. >_< @ Draconorn: I act pretty young for my age, and I'm twelve, so I think I'll like it. x3 Dark Knight looks like the kind of movie that could give someone like me, who thought that Alien wasn't scary, a lot of horrible nightmares. o_o "Don't take along anyone younger than thirteen" is a common statement among the critics.  |

Speed Racer looked like it was.. well.. For a younger audience. Anyway - I did see HellBoy 2 yesterday - Along with Batman: the Dark Knight. Hellboy was.. Well.. It was Hellboy. Its graphics and huge variety of very fascinating creatures was really neat, but the fight scenes were filmed and cut in a way that irritated me greatly, and.. It just was not good compared to the next movie, which we saw just an hour afterwords. Batman was .. AWESOME. I really really can see why critics, imdb, America, the Box Office, etc all rate it #1. It was a 2 1/2 hour movie (wow it was long) but it was well worth it! Oh, and Heath Ledger? Best Joker one could ever have! He rocked! The whole movie.. Wow.. You gotta see it.  Not recommended for people under the age of 16. It is rated R, anyway. -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! |

Actually, it's only PG-13. I was shocked when I realized that, given the content. I was talked into seeing the movie for the full ticket price by a friend, and oh MAN was it worth it. I'll probably see it a second time when the price drops in a few weeks at my local theater. Ledger was simply brilliant, but really, the whole cast was great. I think Harvey Dent's my new favorite character. You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there. -- Jim Adkins |

Sixty Third Karias |
.. What? Yeah - Interesting thing was that I thought they would Spoiler - Don't Read Ahead make Dent a part of the next movie.. But I love how they stuffed it all in. I just really really hope they continue with a third.. And continue with the same director and Christian Bale. If Bale isn't in it - It isn't the same. Oh btw - I agree. I paid nearly $10 for the ticket, but it was certainly worth it.. And I'm itching to see it again in theaters! -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! |

WALL-E! i watches wall-e and it was awesome x3 GO SEE IT. there's such thing as two dollar theatres? my gawd. we get charged like, a thoasand rubies for half a piece of popcorn. xD |
|||
Dreamnorn |
XD Yeah. Speed Racer had a lot of youth in it, true, but it's still totally awesome!! 8D And yes, two dollar theatres exist. xD They are the best places invented ever in the history of the world. 8) They charge full price for food, but tickets cost very, very little. |

I saw the Dark Knight yesterday... It was so awesome that I wanted to watch it again right afterwards *_* I'm probably going to come up with a lot of fan art now... |

I saw Prince Caspian yesterday. It was a very cool movie, but not as good as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was an interesting story, though. |
|||
Sixty Third Karias |
shudders.. ... um. .. That movie I'll shoot whoever makes me watch... It was biased, extremely religious, biased, cruel, not very "happy" and .. Not very equal or fair. Also, it was very religious. And immature. And .. ugh. Anyone know anything about how the The X Files is? -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! |
|||
Officer-1BDI |
Karias I'm glad I'm not the only person who picked up on that. I saw Prince Caspian with a friend, and when I brought up the biased points, he said he didn't know what I was talking about. I haven't heard anything about the new X-Files movie. You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there. -- Jim Adkins |
|||
Sixty Third Karias |
Well, I have not seen Prince Caspian, but I've read a couple of the books and watched the first movie - It's a no doubter that they all will be this way. (Hopefully I'm not speaking truth in terms of them all going into movies) -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! |

can we talk about batman some more? i'm trying to figure out how it could be considered scary.... there was nothing particularly graphic, nothing i would consider disturbing in the way that gives kids nightmares... if anything, i'd be worried about young ones getting anarchic ideas fixed in their heads and running around in purple jackets. well, when i say worried, i'd love to see that. but i can see how it would be something to be avoided in general. if we're not the change we want to see if we're not the change, who will be? |
|||
Officer-1BDI |
Granted, there was actually very little blood involved, but some of those scenes were insanely intense, IMO. SPOILERS. Highlight to read (better): stuff like the pencil scene I'd be more worried about young/stupid kids trying to imitate, but that scene where Joker has the one mobster by the throat and he's pressing his knife to his lips all while going on about how he supposedly got his scars creeped me the eff out. I thought Batman completely losing it during the interrogation scene and the revelation that one of the (mentally challenged? I picked up that vibe and it made the whole thing a lot more distressing) inmates had been rigged with a bomb were also fairly "strong" scenes. Whether they're appropriate or not for kids is arguable, but I personally would be really uncomfortable taking someone younger than 14 or 15 to see this movie. You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there. -- Jim Adkins |

i guess some of it is pretty confronting, but in my experience kids don't pick up on subtext nearly as much as parents worry about. i think things like the joker talking about his scars would scare a lot of kids, but they'd forget about it the next time batman starts swinging about being unjustifiably brutal. which i guess is the crux of it for me - it's not a movie made with children in mind, to me it's going to polarise them, they'll either be on the edge of their seat the whole time [and watch out world] or they'll hide under the seat from the first minute, in which case their parents really should know them better and have considered renting Batman '66 instead. speaking of which, i really need some Riddler action in my life right now. *off towards vcr* oh yeah, and i don't think that inmate was mentally challenged, i think the joker mentioned at some point that he got his gang from Arkham Asylum.... so not mentally challenged, just clinically insane <_<. that phone inside him was freaky awesome horror cool. if we're not the change we want to see if we're not the change, who will be? |

So I'm a month late but I finally got around to watching the Dark Knight. and don't stone me but i thought it was rather "blah". Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions?Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel. |

It was more psychological than I expected, and I would've preferred to see it by myself/with someone different, but it was cinematically quite excellent. So yeah I think we're gonna stone you pal. |

ha at least i didn't have to be the one to bring up an old topic- i just saw it on imax (and paid $18 nz oi) and jesus man. christian bale's batman voice annoys the ever living crap out of me, but <3 heath ledger. rest in peace dude, one of the best movie villains ever. i thought it was interesting how a lot of people said "i only saw heath in that character once" and picked out the exact same scene as i said. heath was just incredible in that, the highlight of the film. personally i thought it was a little drawn out and wish they'd saved some of the harvey dent plot for the next movie, but whatevs. it was all worth it for the joker, eh.

People are raving about the Dark Knight movie, but I'd only go and see it for Heath Ledger - his portrayal of the Joker looks interesting. The rest of it just doesn't appeal at all.  I've never been a fan of anything Batman though, that's probably why.I'm a bit disappointed by my local Cineworld actually - it's showing nothing I want to see currently. I did want to go and see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull but it's not showing there anymore! Has anybody here seen it? |
|||
xan |
I saw it. It was... well, it was an Indiana Jones movie. Not the worst of its lot but hardly the best either. |
|||
Tea Queen Laura |
Yeah, I've heard it's had mixed reviews. I've seen the other 3 Indiana movies, so feel compelled to see the 4th. |

oh I'm not a fan of comic book stuff because... well i am not familiar with any of it. But my boyfriend dragged me to see Iron Man (which i thought was amusing and at least had great music). And he was dying to see the Dark Knight. And in the end even he said DK was over-hyped. christine - omg i *hated* that voice! So unpleasant. Just awful. lol... here's an idiot moment from me... I knew all along that Heath Ledger was in this movie but i didn't know what part he played prior to watching it. I just sort of never asked. So for like the first hour I'm sitting there and wondering where Heath Ledger is. "Maybe he's gonna come out later?" And then it hit me, that he's the joker... lol i felt like a moron. on the other hand, I had no idea that Aaron Eckhart was in the movie until i saw him on the screen (i didn't do a lot of research, can you tell?). I'm a fan of his and thought he was totally awesome. Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions?Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel. |

I was just talking about The Dark Knight with two young men of my acquaintance the other day... One actually walked out because he felt the ratio of action to dark broody atmosphere wasn't good, and the other *raved* about it! My TCR Norns |

As a fan of the 1960s TV Batman and the Alan Moore comics, I found it hilarious that most of my friends complained that the joker was too "camp". I had to give them a good dosing of Cesar Romero to counter that. eheh.

Batman's voice had me cracking up half the time XD Something else I find utterly hilarious... there's an animated Stars Wars movie on its way. I bet it's going to suck, but meh X3 |

Howabout Disaster Movie? I bet it will literally be a disaster.  Honestly I thought Batman's voice was perfect when he was beating up the Joker for information in the interrogation room, but otherwise it was, yes, a little overkill. All in all, I loved it. I feel bad enough that I'm tempted to watch it for a fourth time.. There are some movies that just don't do justice on the small screen. -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! |

I saw Mamma Mia yesterday and I found it kind of disappointing... although it was funny seeing Colin Firth as a punk. My TCR Norns |

Pierce Brosnan singing was disappointing. awful, just awful. Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions?Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel. |

See now, by that point, I was bored with him. I liked how the daughter didn't magically *know*. I hated the denouement with Brosnan and the mother... My logic circuits were offended. I was pleased that Colin Firth seems to have finally made the transition from romantic lead to father figure... phew! I loved him in Pride & Prejudice, but felt icky watching him in Bridget Jones.
