I seen it last night and it was so so and since I only saw Buffy season 1 I didn't pidgeon-hole SMG as such her character in Grudge was decent. Personally I liked the pacing of the original, it was slow and built up to a pretty good climax (did I just say that out loud? ). This version was kinda predictable and the pacing was the opposite. BTW there was a Juon 2? As far as I know Juon I know was made as a TV movie in Japan and was re-shot for a theatrical release. And then there was a made for TV Juon 2, followed by a theatrical release of Juon 2.

If my wife doesn't want to go, I'll go with a bud. If my buds don't want to go, I'll go alone. I'm not a big on the entire horror genre, but movies like Juon/the Grudge/Ring I usually wind up loving.

Oh, I wish the fat mother would yell at her damn kids and hit them already. Kids today don't have enough discipline, and frankly, I'm more sick of hearing the damn kids crying and throwing a fit because their mom won't buy them some stupid Yu-Gi-Oh cards than the sound of the mother laying down the law. Spoiled-brat-b-gone, anyone?

Saw looks like the most retarded thing to hit the theaters since House of 1000 Corpses. As for the Grudge, it's got Sarah Michelle Gellar, it's got a Hollywood budget and effects, and it's in English, but it should still be closer to Juon than the American version of the Ring was to the original, since Takashi Shimizu directed both the Grudge and Juon.

And the F-35 they include probably won't be the F-35B. It must be hard to model STOVL controls onto the PS2 pad when every other button is used to control the fighters already. Air Force Delta sure didn't do it that well.

I can't say for sure, but I'd assume so, since the Japanese are pretty into wrestling, and the games is from Konami.

Well, as I feel that The Oak is the closest thing humans have to Jesus or God, it really wouldn't make sense to have him play some character with god-like powers. Seriously though, there are a ton of other actors that I like, I mean come on... Like Van Damme, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, or anyone else in Predator. Little known fact: VD was the original predator, he was replaced before the final cut. Even less known fact: Shane Black (Hawkins) wrote Lethal Weapon at the age of 22. His script for the Last Boyscout was the first to break the one million dollars mark and was sold for 1.75 million dollars. He also wrote Last Action Hero for The Oak, his co-star for Predator. He's considered to be a pioneer of the modern action films. YEAH!!! Forgot about that.... Yep everyone in Predator kicks ass. Except Van Damme. Seriously, dude, that guy's a pussy. The other guys are buff manly men, like AgentOne, but Van Damme is like an immitation manly men who's really a pussy.

AMEN!!! Reeve played Supes well, but not Kent. To date my favorite Clark Kent is, and most likely always will be, Dean Cain. he makde Kent seem more human, not a caricature. Yeah dude! Dean Cain! That's the dude from Lois and Clark!

To be perfectly honest, I have little to no interest in sports. The only sport I've watched for more than a few minutes on TV was golf. I do occasionally enjoy a sports-related videogame (the ESPN 2K5 hockey and football are both nice, and Tiger Woods kicks ass). I have no idea when the seasons start or end for any of my local sports teams, nor do I know how they fare in the rankings. The only reason I can name any players on my local football team is because I live about 15 minutes from where the Pittsburgh Steelers have their training camp, so occasionally they shop at the mall where I work (as a matter of fact, at least one of them will buy the new Madden every year). That said, I like hanging out with my buds at the local Buffalo Wild Wings, and Sharky's has pretty good food, so I like to go there too. We don't give a damn about any of the games on... we like to play the trivia games with those keypad thingies. Good times.

I must be on the border. I was really too young for the Christopher Reeve Superman movies to leave a lasting impression, but Smallville is too "hip" for me. Superman to me is actually "Lois and Clark."

"Sekushii na biggu monsuta!" The nice thing about the Simple2000 series is that the games are cheap, and often feature girls in bikinis. The downside to the Simple2000 series is that the gameplay is usually crap. Well, you get what you pay for, right?

What about the F/A-22? I thought it was a single-seater. And I thought that the preference for two-seaters was a Navy thing.

my brotha! i stand united with you, our solidarity against sh!t movies while the rest say "i hate it, but i'll be in line when it hits theaters and buy the boxed set when it comes out" you and i will be standing strong in defiance of utter crap. I didn't see it either! Just like I didn't see Freddy vs. Jason. The only vs. I like in my life is Red vs. Blue. Same here Except for the Red VS. Blue thing... Dunno what it is btw... Haven'tseen Red vs. Blue either, but know what it is. Red and Blue Halo guys. Online vid. Well, red and blue Halo guys is one way to sum it up, but that's kinda like summing up the Ring as being "about a girl who fell in a well." Red vs. Blue is the ongoing web series about two armies in a box canyon, each with their own base, who suffer more misadventures than any actual combat. It's noteworthy for two reasons: First - Everything you see in RvB is filmed in game. They didn't use Halo's graphics engine to create a show... they actually set up a multiplayer Halo match on a couple of Xboxes, and film everything from there. Second - It's hysterically funny. You can check it out at redvsblue.com, but be advised... due to bandwidth issues, they don't have every episode in their archive, and with all the people downloading the new episode (first ep of season 3), their site gets kinda laggy. Oh, and Blaine, I totally forgot about Spy vs. Spy... but yeah, they totally rocked. I too was a fan of black spy... white spy just seemed like a cockbite.

No...that movie sucked cause not only did it have him, but the hit and run actress who praised herself on being one of the few black women to win a best actress award....get off it....being black is nothing special your just a person I hate that. When a person gets an award and they start talkin about their religion or their race be it Latino, Black, Asian, White, what ever, I get pissed and never watch a movie they take part in ever again....Hell I can't even watch Die Another Day cause it has Hallie Barry in it I wish they could honestly get Ridely Scott or James Cameron in this, my god that'd be fantastic and you KNOW they'd get the best in creature effects from Stan Winston...even though Terminator 3 wasn't needed, Stan Winston did fantastic yet again on the Terminator effects like the TX and the 1/1 scale T-800 Arnold lookalike. But, I haven't seen a film from Ridely Scott in ages, and Cameron I think is just sticking to Documentry or touchy feely films like Titanic........gah....here's a touchy feely get a hot heroine chick and the aliens with tenticles! YEAH! If I didn't see any movies that featured an actor or actress who I believed to have an inflated view of themselves and/or their head so far up their ass that they have no idea what life outside Hollywood is like, I wouldn't have any movies to see. Now, once you divorce the actually story in the movie from any personal distate for any of the actors/actresses playing any of the characters in said story (and trust me, I'm not usually a fan of Travolta myself), Swordfish is still on of my all-time favorite movies.

I don't know if I should let you tarnish the name of Conan by a Gladiator affiliation. Not that Gladiator was bad... It just wasn't Conan. Gladiator was by far a thousand times better than any Conan movie..... NOT! You almost made me choke on the fish I am eating. Fish...? Funny, I always thought of you more as a rare beef kinda guy. Y'know, something manly. Seafood... I dunno, seafood is kinda girly.

Exactly! Because it's all style over substance, like I said. It tries to tell a story, but the original TV series tells it so much better. For me, for now, in decending order: SDF Macross Macross Zero Macross 7 Macross Plus Macross Dynamite 7 DYRL Macross II Macross Plus movie, Macross 7 Movie, Macross 7 Encore, I consider to be part of their respective series.

Wow... finally a Lord of the Rings movie I liked!

It's not Antonio Banderas' long lost Asian cousin. That's the guy who played Samanosuke in Onimusha and Onimusha 3!

Is that a 12-3 theatrical release, or just a R1 DVD release? One of my wife's clients in China sent us a VCD... hope to get it soon.

and some Namco corporate BS. I wonder if this song will be in the Japanese version. Can't rag on a group I've never heard of. Mostly these days, I listen to Japanese music. And while M-Flo and Ryohei Yamamoto's new CDs kick ass, I don't really want them in an Ace Combat game. It might be worth complaining about, except that it's probably just intro or ending music. The in-game music will likely be along the same lines as AC4. I wouldn't mind a little Kenny Loggins in an Ace Combat game...

No way, dude, Swordfish ruled.

SDF Macross is the classic story, so I voted for it. Why not DYRL? DYRL is flash over substance. So what if the VF-1s look prettier, and the battles seem more epic? The story is a pale substitute for the original TV series. I'm actually kinda sick of Plus.

I find that ridiculous. The mentor character in Escaflowne was Balgus. To be honest, Allen Schezar was actually inspired from Roy Focker. Folken has the rank of Britai, and the character seems more inspired from Guld than anyone else. The ranks of the enemy are somewhat intuitive: there is the commander who never sees the battlefield, a sort of emperor (Bodolza), the commander who sees the battlefield but doesn't fight personally (Britai), and the commander who fights (Kamjin). This is the basic structure, you can increase the number of commanders but these ranks are the most representative of an army. This is not what makes an anime formulaic. FV Then Kamjin = Dilandau, by your formula. And considering that they were both nuts, yeah, that makes sense.

It SHIPS exactly one week from today. Unless you live in California, that generally means it won't be in stores until a week from tomorrow... that is, not until Tuesday 10-26. Most games aren't street dated the way movies are.
