    I liked it too, it was a decent film (not great but decent). The problem was taking a little movie like Pitch Black and trying to turn it into a Tent Pole action adventure franchise movie.

    > I guess that I'm sad that they took some of the best material in the older movies, and twisted it around into an homage that would only make sense to the same people it'd piss off Not all of them by any stretch, there is a VERY vocal minority of fans of the old I must admit, but I've never actually met one in the flesh - every one of the old Trek crowd I'm with love the new movies. We also agree that Rodenberry was going off the deep end - early TNG was terrible and it didn't get better till Rodenberry was basically muscled aside. Trek 2 is another example of that in action.

    Yes, the Nuclear program in Germany was never anywhere near making an Abomb. The US and Britain already had working jet aircraft as well, Britain used theirs to knock V-1s out of the sky while the US one was only just going through trials at the end of the war. While neither was as advanced as the 262 that could have been rectified fairly quickly. The US plane in particular was a rush job being designed and built in under 6 months or something, the thing it was really missing was the swept wing design of the 262 (same for the UK plane, it took longer to design and build - the UK was far ahead of most other countries in jet technology before the war but funding lagged during the war)

    Friend at work saw it and loved it. I'll be seeing it Sunday (hate crowds) and will most likely love it too.

    A sequel - that will be an interesting trick!

    He got an Oscar nod for 9th Company, they are REALLY lowering standards then. Cliched, predictable, and terribly overwrought that film was. That said I still enjoyed the film and look forward to seeing this one. Enemy at the Gates was a decent movie, not very realistic, but decent. The German Stalingrad movie had too much of that "we are REALLY REALLY sorry for WWII but our troops suffered too..." vibe to it.

    Why? They could always kill him again...

    And you would have been fired that instant too. It was a photo shoot for a TV show featuring an actress who most likely NEVER held a gun other then on set (and most likely the one she is holding is a prop and not a real one with a firing pin, etc...). If you feel the need to slap someone it would be the weapons master on the set and not the actress (once again, only if that was a real gun weather loaded or not, rather then a very realistic prop)

    I wouldn't know the reference, I've not watched any of the Resident Evil movies or played the games.

    That one trailer was in English, is a US release planned for this film in theaters? Anyone know when if that is true? Or the DVD release date.

    OK, 10 minutes of things going boom followed by 1.5 to 2 hours of a couple people floating around in space? Pass.

    First reaction - sounds like garbage. Second reaction - I liked "The Frighteners" so who am I to judge?

    Just noticed, that ship is MIGHTY small to be packing that powerful energy weapon and all those fighters...

    It won't even have blanks, someone off stage would have made sure of that. Ever since that guy shot himself with blanks and died I am sure they only give out guns loaded with them when needed for a shot.

    I voted DYRL, it needs more love...

    Not really, computer models could show an infinite amount of detail - rendering it would take forever, but it could be done. The same exact constraints exist for both physical and 3D models, time and money.

    to paraphrase "A video pre-purchaser and his money is soon parted". On the one hand suing for this is insane, on the other hand the degree to which software companies (all kinds of software) gets away with shipping feces by claiming the software is not suitable for any purpose is disgusting. We do need to find a better line between normal glitches and liability for releasing buggy garbage.

    That bit has very very (*) little science to it. (*) - I'd say absolute zero but I'm sure there is some teensy sliver of possability behind it...

    Yes, many movies have the endings reshot, the original Rocky comes to mind. What gets reshot, or left on the cutting room floor, is of no consequence - only what ends up on the screen counts. I will wait to see reviews first however.

    My opinion is that people made WAY WAY too much of the first movie, it was a great action popcorn flick and it got lucky in striking a chord with audiences. The second two tried to add more meta-physical mumbo jumbo on top the VERY thin veneer the first one had - and since the series really didn't have anything profound to say the whole thing fell in upon itself. That, plus the first move really left nothing to be follow up on.
  21. Dynaman
    Sounds spot on if you ask me...

    I admire Del Toro's work but this would be a really hard one to pull off. HBO is also the perfect choice as well, not sure regular network TV would be able to do it justice.

    The one spoiler I read was too insane to be believed. Sounds more like an internet hoax. (an internet hoax, impossible! It's not like there were any haters already out there wanting to jinx the movie before it even opens!)
  24. Dynaman
    Sketchley, don't forget "UN Spacey", no English speaker would ever come up with that one.

    As for Full Frontal, although is sounds terrible - I ask you, is it really worse then "Pussy Galore"? (and look where the Bond franchise has gone from there)
