My school is showing a screening of Oldboy today, I am quite excited.

That movie was pretty messed up, I thought it was good though

OH GOD HE ATE FOUR OF THEM

If you liked Old Boy watch I saw the Devil, it's on Netflix. It has the actor who played him as the villain. Not for the faint of heart though.

The Lion King 3D is now playing! Ahhhhh, who's going to watch it?  I think I'll take some time out of my weekend to go see it because it is my fav. Disney movie ever.

Oh shit, if I go I will be singing all the songs from my seat.

And you won't be alone! I'm hoping the entire theater breaks out into song.

Just got all of Full Metal Alchemist from a classmate, and watched the movie today. It was pretty good, but it took me a while to figure out wtf was going on.

Watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Pretty good Miyazaki flick, lots of cool creature designs. The American dub is terribad though, stick with Japanese.

No kidding. Love this movie though.

Saw Conan the Barbarian today.

Plot: Sucked; Acting: Sucked; Pacing: Sucked; Action? BY CROM IT WAS GLORIOUS

Don't knock my boy Jason Momoa. He's the only reason I even want to see the movie.

He's so awesome. Is the movie actually worth seeing?

Miyazaki time? I think I'll do maybe Porco Rosco or Princess Mononoke.  I forget if I own the second one, but I should.

thanks to the wonders of the modern world, i can download a film in less time than it takes for you to walk out your front door on the way to the electronics store.

Please explain!!?

Porco Rosso is fucking amazing, watch that. Princess Mononoke is good but I absolutely love Porco. Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro is a clasic.

I love Mononoke, and The Castle of Cagliostro is funny/intense/good as well.

Today I watched Memento, and Blazing Saddles for the first time and finally finished The Gold Rush, which I've been doing in 20 minute increments. All three highly recommend.

After only seeing the rape scene and the ending diner scene, I watched all of pulp fiction last night. I enjoyed it but I didnt think it was as good as res dogs or kill bill.

Saw The Lion King 3D today and it was a

experience.

Some child was bawling for 10 minutes at the Mufasa's death scene while I shed manly tears of nostalgia.
The only people who actually sang along to the songs were people over 10 years of age funny enough.

Watched a movie called "The Dead" tonight.  One of those road journey survival flicks, this one about zombies, set in Africa with an American engineer trying to get to saftey.  It's kinda like the Road if it had zombies, with alot more cinematography of the landscape and everything, not a ton of dialogue for the most part.  So if your wanting abit more serious survival story, this might be worth checking out.  

The only problem I had with it is how pathetic the zombies are.  After how many years it's been since Night of the Living Dead, why do people want to go back to the almost boring looking shamblers...barely even shamblers, sometimes they were just shuffling.  Maybe that was just poor direction on part of the director.  I'm not asking for sprinters or anything, but you could escape these zombies by just walking.  That's not terrifying or threatening at all and doesn't give me the feeling that these things would be able to take over anything.  Sure, they have numbers, but impossibly sluggish zombies are just a pet peeve of mine.

Rewatched The Prestiege with Spm and other roommate. Was good times!

I'm intrigued by it, but it makes me wonder if the integration to netflix will be hindered at all. I loved being able to see which movies in my queue were up for instant.

I hope it will make the streaming service do a better job of getting quality content. As a bonus it kind of didn't matter what was on it. But now as a product you actually have to pay for it needs to stand up on its own.

[/quote]Well maybe that will happen when the companies decide to stop being assholes after seeing how many views on their stuff Netflix gets and want to charge ridiculous prices for their stuff. Seriously, Starz walked out of the negotiation because Netflix wanted to barter down the price. Then they announced that their stuff would expire on February 28, 2012 the same day Netflix announces their price increases because they wanted to humiliate Netflix.

Curious because I was planning on getting a disc-only plan before they announced this. My family already has a streaming account, so me and the roommates can cut costs by just using our account.

Price hikes and less convenience. Not a fan. On a side note, watched Kelly's Heroes tonight. Liked it.

[A. Crow]

Watched Green Street Hooligans tonight, was pretty good, even if Elijah Wood can no longer act. 

Now we're going to be singing "I'm forever blowing bubbles" out on missions, I just know it.
