My plans? Football Manager 2011 and a crapload of movies I've got. I'm going to put my new sound system to good use! Thats saying I can pry myself off football manager long enough. I'm a huge fan of management style games. Obviously I enjoy the Sims, Civilization, and then other games not so well known like Restaurant Manager. Any game that lets me screw with every single aspect of gameplay I usually lock onto.
I wanted to touch on more with movies. I mentioned horror films I loved but theres other types I adore. I'm actually a bit of a fan of films that arent too happy. Like for example Requiem for a Dream. Thats one excellent film, and also The Fountain by the same guy. Moon I really enjoyed, A.I., Pans Labyrinth was brilliant, and I'm probably one of the few who enjoyed The Island, and also loved Bridge to Terabithia. I swear that film doesnt get enough credit. If I was 12 and watching that film I would label it as one of my all time ever favourites. Not to say its a childrens movie at all, but it had that fantasy aspect to it since it was based off a book written for younger audiences, like harry potter for example. So if you were to mock Terabithia but love potter, I salute you for being special.
Some others I loved were Mirrormask, Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. All of them brilliant fantasy films. Event Horizon and Dark City are two great scifi films, along with District 9 and I. Robot. I do wish they'd make Prelude to Foundation, a classic Asimov series. I hear they're making a mini series out of the books but I'm still waiting to see proof on this. ie, they actually fucking film something. Some other films I'd recommend, The Thing, Pitch Black, Butterfly Effect, Gattaca, Twelve Monkeys, and fuck yeah Blade Runner. I'd like to say The Mist, but thats a love it or hate it film, but I adored it. And fuck everyone involved for not releasing Solaris on bluray yet. Both versions. Oh, Fire and Ice, and also The Last Unicorn are two older animated movies that just rock so much. If you like british comedy, then do yourself a favour and get your hands on Red Dwarf if you've never seen it. Excellent scifi comedy series.
Actually thats plenty. I know theres plenty others but listing movie title after movie title would just get stupid. I'd like to end this by sending off a huge FUCK YOU to Michael Bay since I just watched a sneak special on Transformers 3. Plenty love it, but all I see is rape. The animated movie was godly and had 100 times more heart and substance then these trashy knock offs he's put out. I feel like cutting myself. I've got no problem with remakes or re-imaginings, but I'm still surprised you arent required to sit on a 10 inch dildo at the theatre when you go to watch these crap installments. Cause thats how I feel when I watch them. Like Bay is literally raping me. Good thing I've never paid to watch any. Seriously, TF2 has to be one of the worst movies ever. 400 plot holes all through it. The god damn film opens with half a dozen in the first 20min. Seriously, The Arcee twins? Theres fucking 3 of them in the film!!!
So many movies, I'll have to watch Red Dwarf though, British comedy is excellent.
ReplyDeleteAnd today there's no picture. It's like reverse trolling from yesterday.
I never watched Bridge to Terabithia, for a good reason. I read the book, and it wasn't nearly like anything what the trailer depicts. I know movies that are based on books are very loosely following them, but it's basically a fantasy movie with a title thrown on it.
ReplyDeleteFinally someone ele likes Red Dwarf, i've recommended it too all my friends who are also sci-fi nuts but they don't get it! Also where the fecks back to the future! Greatest freakin film of all time!
ReplyDeleteDark Crystal, Labrynth. best ever
ReplyDeleteI felt molested by David Bowie's mightily padded crotch through all of Labyrinth D:
ReplyDeleteBridge to Terabithia does get way too little recognition. I must give you kudos for your movie list, several are favorites of mine as well!
Oh god they're making another Bayformers movie? Ughhhhh, they need to STOP already. Or at least school the man in something called plot, and how to get rid of those nasty plot holes. God, I couldn't even enjoy the second one despite sexy Megan Fox because of the horrible everything else!
Back to the future was awesome for sure, and I also forgot to list other favourites like Watership down and Plague Dogs. Oh, Secret of Nimh was legendary too.
ReplyDeleteLOL. What a list. Do you support any football/soccer teams? :)
ReplyDeleteHaven't watched Transformers 2. I heard alot of bad reviews about it and quite glad I didn't.
ReplyDeleteAnd a good chuck of those movies/shows you listed off I always wanted to see, but never got the chance.(Got to add those to my list also) Red Dwarf, from what little I had seen was great.
@ Balitiger23, And Megan Fox isn't looking to sexy now a days, lol.
You got great taste in movies, that much is certain. Glad to see a Bay hater. He needs to give up but as long as the fantards fork over money that isn't gonna happen any time soon. Fuck him.
ReplyDeleteSay, I wanna hear a big list of movies you enjoy and popular ones everyone else likes but you don't like. That'll be an interesting topic of discussion.
We should meet up and have a movie marathon since we have similar taste. Teehee.
ReplyDeleteHaha, but it wouldn't be as fun as watching bad movies, Jonna. It'll be Mystery Science Theater 3000 all over again. Jed would be amazing for shitty movie reviews. He proved this, torturing and agonizing Austin when they (and you) were watching DB: Evolution. xD
ReplyDeleteMr. Con I absolutely love you know the works of Gullimero del Torro, if I may make a suggestion, check out the movies by a Scottish director named Neil Marshall. He has made Dog Soldiers, Doomsday, The Descent, and Centurion, all very excellent movies you're bound to love. Also, Repo: The Genetic Opera, just some suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI must say, the fact that you're a movie nerd increases your awesomeness by tenfold.
And the fact that you recognize what a hack Bay is makes me want to cry tears of happiness.
ReplyDeleteBridge to Terabithia was a complete surprise for me. I went into it expecting nothing more than a run-of-the-mill kids' fantasy movie, but gosh did it really move me at the end. Another excellent movie in the same vein (and the better one, but not necessarily more special, in my opinion) would be Where the Wild Things Are. Moon (a most seriously underappreciated movie), District 9, all my fave sci fi movies from 2009 (as well as - don't judge me - Star Trek), which I regard as a fairly good year for sci fi of sorts. Lookin' forward to finally sitting down and watching Daybreakers, The Crazies, Dead Snow, heard good things about them but dunno how good.
ReplyDeleteAnd really, someone should have killed the Transformers franchise right after the first. Transformers 2 was a massacre of everything sane and holy.
And just curious, since you've watched Red Dwarf I don't suppose you've watched Dr. Who and (not sci-fi related though...) The Thick of It? XP
Friggin' Sims! Just about my favourite game of all time. 8-D I love the graphics in Sims 3 but gameplay-wise Sims 2 is better I think. Rabbit holes suck the fun out of everything.
Not seen Dark Crystal and Labyrinth in years :O, apparently I kick like Hoggle :/ lol?
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of a single one of these movies. But they sound really good so I'm probably going to watch all of them once I get home.
