[quote="exagenous"]Red is a great movie, way way WAY better at old guys fuck shit up than The Expendables

Just saw RED and Expandables was immensely better, in all fairness RED was a comedy with very little action so they're not in the same genre.

I just felt like I was watching Ocean's 11 with killing instead of theft and the director just kept hammering in: They're old, Get it?

Have I mentioned recently how much I love you? My brother of the Expendables war.

I saw Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. It was bad. The character designs were atrocious and the story, like the comic, was overall meh. The action was the only saving grace of the film


However I am overly excited for All-Star Superman. I never really understood why the comic is held at such a high regard, but I liked it well enough and the adaption looks great.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. I wasn't a huge fan of the comic either, but at least the action was decent.

All-Star Superman, at least the little I read of it, seemed sort of goofy and Silver Agey, which I don't have a problem with, but seems at odds with the super serious and dark story they're trying to tell. But I guess we'll see how it turns out.

I watched The Secret of Kell on Netflix streaming. I missed some of the middle part, but it was definitely a good animated movie with cool style and great directing.

I also watched How to Train Your Dragon, which was surprisingly enjoyable for a kids' movie, and probably one of the best outings by Dreamworks in a while. To put it in Pixar terms, I liked it better than Finding Nemo, but maybe not as much as The Incredibles. John Powell totally lets out the stops in one of the most bombastic fantasy soundtracks I've ever heard-- the nice thing about kids movies is that you can throw subtlety to the wind and just go totally all out.

[quote="wayintothe7thart"]So far Curren$y "Pilot Talk" is the best album I've heard all year.
I'm starting to agree with you. Not my favorite but still very pleasing despite the "gangsta" lyrics here and there. Still, it's not as bad as Freddie Gibbs, whom I don't know for the life of me why he's getting so much hype, from the "blogosphere" of all places

It doesn't matter if what you're watching is anime or not.

So I watched the Substitute starring Tom Berenger, he totally kicks a bunch of high school kids' asses and then shoots a bunch of dudes.
I found the short scene where Berenger's character is lying on bed and is throwing ninja stars at a map unintentionally hilarious.

I've grown to really like the "Old White Dudes Fighting Crime" sub-genre from watching 24, Taken, and this.

Addendum: I also watched Cobra in its entirety, at its best Cobra is only Okay.

[quote="xenomouse"]'Cause anime is gay.

Speaking of gay anime, I decided to catch up to the newest episode of Shiki and I'm glad I did. The first 5 or 6 episodes were pretty boring and overall not that interesting. The basic premise is that vampires are attacking this town and converting/killing off the townsfolk and some of the try to stop it from happening. Don't let your hatred for vampires, weird and numerous characters, or the slow beginning stop you from watching this, it gets to be very good around episode 7 or 8 and it has not let up since. This last episode had one of the most uncomfortable moments I've ever experienced watching a TV series. It's on Hulu.

[quote="BrokenMagnum"]Addendum: I also watched Cobra in its entirety, at its best Cobra is only Okay.

Wait, so you always talked that crap about Cobra and never actually saw it? That movie sucked balls and it's not even bad in a fun way. It declines almost immediately after the opening scene in the grocery store.

I'm watching The walking dead on AMC. Seems pretty promising so far.

About to watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in my English topics class.

And what did you think?

The only thing I remember about Ransom was Gary Sinise killing all them people in the van. That, and going down to the set every day after school to bother Ron Howard. To his credit he was a cool dude and put up with all our adolescent bullshit.

[quote="BrokenMagnum"] while Eraser was bad and kind of dumb even for an Arnold action movie.

How can you not love Ninja Arnie, shame on you.

Are you serious?

I've been watching The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye. I'm only 2 episodes in and it's not bad. I thought I wouldn't like it because of the generic character designs, but the talking tank won me over.

Queen Platinum Collection. I don't know why, it was only $11 but I don't particularly care all that much for Queen or Freddie Mercury.

[quote="BrokenMagnum"]Queen Platinum Collection. I don't know why.

Because Queen is awesome!

Werd

Hard to follow if you haven't read the book or hard to follow if you have seen the other movies? I've seen most of the movies and read about a chapter of one of the middle books...

[quote="Spankminister"]My only complaint was that Bill Nighy didn't have enough screen time to really have much of a character.

He was too busy with SCIENCE.

Baby there's a shark in the water

I'm listening to Girl Talk's newest album. I've disliked his past albums and have never really understood why he's so well regarded, but All Day has changed opinion on him. It might be because he's used older music Bubba Sparxxx and ELO, Radiohead and ODB, Lil' Kim and Jackson 5. So far it's been pretty nostalgic and enjoyable.
