Umm, have people sit in between you maybe...say its because you want to see more people's reaction to the film than just his. Idk, could work!
heheh

I watched Children of Men and War of the Worlds tonight.

The end is nigh! But wait... There's hope.

I just say Sleepy Hollow for the first time ever. I liked it-Ricci looked really young though. Johnny looked fantastic (being pale does him justice).

I was driving home the other day and the 7-11 by my house suddenly caught my eye. It looked different...and yet so familiar.

It looked like this. And it was AWESOME.

Wow... that's sad... Simpson's should have been ended a LONG time ago. Family Guy is way funnier.

I just got back from seeing Transformers.

Wow.

It was incredibly entertaining and I enjoyed it.
Shia LaBeouf was just as amazing as I knew he would be. Shaping up to be a great actor!
Although, the talking Transformers kind of made me laugh, even though they weren't supposed to. I don't like that they talked, was kinda corny. But, I understand that they talked in the show, so it's nice that they kept it the same.
Very funny at parts. Good lines. Shia's parents were HILARIOUS.

Good summer fun.

I loved License to Wed. Sometimes movies are just supposed to fun and lighthearted and LTW fit the bill in this regard. My sister and I went together so we could swoon over John K together and we did so lovingly! I laughed a lot although many in the theater did not. It's a very specific kind of humor and not everyone gets it and I can live with that. It's one of those movies that you can sit back and simply enjoy. They don't make a lot of light movies anymore that I'd feel comfortable watching with my grandparents. This is a movie I'd take them to and not worry about whether they are offended or horrified! Whatever happened to good-clean-fun movies besides Disney!?

I saw Transformers this morning and YUCK! I was really excited to see this movie and I was terribly disappointed. I saw several trailers earlier in the summer and it looked like it was going to be a great action flick. The first half of the movie was pretty good but then it all fell apart. The story ( I use this word loosely) never came together and there were too many annoying and pointless characters. Most of the battles were so fast paced I couldn't tell what was going on or figure out how it fit into the story. By the end I gave up trying to sort through the confusion. I found myself sitting through an action sequence not caring who won. There were a lot of cool effects but the camera shots were so rushed it was hard to see anything. If you're going to focus on special effects instead of a story, at least give the audience a chance to see them!

I cannot wait to see the Simpsons movie. I haven't been that thrilled with the last few seasons, so I'm hoping the movie makes up for them a little. The older ones are just classic. I'm also interested to see the box office for the movie. Opening weekend of 40+ maybe? Hard to tell yet.

Just got back from Transformers pretty cool movie to say the least.

I need to watch that movie in slow mo .

hahah. that would be fun

Yeah, did you like it?

Yes, yes, yes! I agree with everything you said, Wedd!

I've heard rumors that The Simpsons will end with the movie. Has anyone else heard this?

The Simpsons movie is not the end of the Simpsons

The Simpsons is the single greatest thing to happen to television since Fernwood Tonight.

I know you're just joking. The only time Family Guy was ever funny was when it was parodied on South Park.

If you watch that clip, you might want to stop it around tht 6:30 mark, before people start pooping on each other.

Wow, I hadn't thought about Fernwood Tonight in ages. Have you seen Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman? Also awesome. She hides under the kitchen sink and cant get the waxy yellow buildup off of her kitchen floor.

That's exactly how Family Guy is. Miscellaneous topics strung together = a punchline. It's like manatees are choosing random topics written on balls in a giant tank. I agree that The Simpsons hasn't been the greatest over the past couple years, but it's still better than most things on TV, and it's still worth watching, IMHO.

I completely agree. Family Guy has one minute of hilarity surrounded by 21 minutes of absolute nonsensical garbage. I gave up on this year completely.

I really liked both of those movies.

Also, I did manage to see Transformers...and it was honestly much better than I was expecting. The action was great...the special effects incredible...and it was a legitimately funny movie with lots of decent acting. I was ticked that Optimus Prime didn't have his laser-bazooka from the TV show (yup..I remember watching it as a kid), but that's only one of a few relatively small complaints

Definitely a great summer popcorn flick.

Are you guys wacko? Do you even get Family Guy? The Simpsons is the same exact thing over and over again. Homer is stupid, Marge does that stupid little, \"Hmmm.\" And then Lisa acts smart. Soo Annoying. South Park is also better than the Simpsons.

I'm with JAM4EVA on this one. Personally, I like South Park the best out of the three, but Family Guy is right behind it. The Simpsons, in my opinion was groundbreaking for about 4 seasons, and then it lost it. I'm not saying the show is bad, but for me it just got stale.

I think we'll all have to just agree to disagree. At least we can agree on one show we all like!

Thanks OH!

Whatevs. Isn't this the movie thread anyway? Who saw Transformers? Or License to Wed?

Ditto that my brotha.

You're right, this is the movie thread. That's why I posted this:



so other Simpsons fans can celebrate the opening of The Simpsons MOVIE.

^ that's so cool OH! I love em! I can't wait to take my nephew to the Quick-E-Mart for his Squishee. I might get a box of Krusty-Os and a six pack of Buzz Cola too. (But they're not selling Duff. *pout* Something about it being a kid's movie makes it inappropriate. )

I saw both and wrote reviews on the previous page. Click here if you want my opinion. I seem to be in the minority for both movies.

I'm going to see Sicko on Saturday. Did anyone see that one yet? Is it worth my $5?

Yes, it's worth your five bucks, but if you read the internet news sites, it won't tell you anything you don't already know.

I figured as much. Thanks for the advice.

^^Wow License to Wed #5. I didn't think it would be that high considering all the bad reviews. Evening was definitely pushed off the list fast- I haven't seen it yet.

I watched 10 Things I Hate About You tonight. It was cute- I can't believe I'd never seen it.

I'm going to spend this wednesday watching transformers for my b-day. it's my day people have to do what I say. If I can squeeze in die hard I will as well. It's going to take me awhile to warm up to robin williams even if it is john's movie.

I'm curious about Invasion and I am legend.

Ahh, I love 10 Things I Hate About You!!
Good Movie!

I just watched the Fountain.
OMG!
Soo hard to follow, but in a way, I found it brilliant!
Hugh Jackman is amazing, he made me cry about 12 times just looking at him while he is crying. Great performance by that man!
However, I was confused during the movie, but then after it was abruptly over, i thought about it and watched the theatrical trailer and understood it much better.
My family didn't like it, but I thought it was genius.
Took me many different places all in an hour and 40 mins.
It indeed broke my heart and blew my mind at the same time.

Has anyone else seen it?

That surprised me, too. I'm absolutley thrilled that people still want to see a light goofy comedy these days! More proof that critics don't always know what they're talking about.
I went to see it again today and to my delight it had been moved to a larger screen with more seats available. I guess the theater was surprised, too!

Already voiced my opinion on Transformers...

loved it

I watched Transformers on the 4th and it was AWESOME! It probably helps that I love GM/Pepsi and they were big sponsors of the movie (gotta love the product placement), but I really enjoyed this movie. Before we saw it, whenever the previews came on tv, my husband would get all dorky and say "oh man, we have to go see that!"... I'd call him a dork and that was that... but we went and I had to put my foot in my mouth, because I loved this movie. It's in my all-time top 5 now and we're definitely going to buy it when it comes out on dvd . Oh, and I think I drooled a little when the new camaro came on the screen.... just had to add that .

To all people who saw Transformers and or other recent movies:

About the previews:

The very first one in Transformers- produced by J.J. Abrams, comes out january of next year-
It showed a going away party of some sort and then some sort of earthquake then things blowing up and suddenly the head of the statue of liberty lands in front of the partiers, it was shot really documentary-like with real looking footage like someone was taping the whole thing on thier camcorder...

Ring any bells to anyone?

I really want to find out more about it and the title!

I thought it was a very good movie - definitely worth seeing.

Meg

YES! I really enjoyed that movie. It was a little hard to follow at first but I ended up loving it. And I totally agree with you, Hugh Jackman was wonderful in it. He made me cry too, and it was such a beautiful story. Great movie!!!

i did see Sicko and everytime michael moore does a documentary there are alot of challenges that his facts and figures are wrong, and that he manipulates things and changes the context of it, and in some cases that may be true but what always hits me the hardest are the personal stories of people and this one has alot of those and if you walk out with dry eyes then you're stronger then me.

A lot of the people I've talked to didn't like the film. I'm like what is wrong with you...?

I am glad you enjoyed it too!
Yesterday when I watched it, I had no idea what to think, now I am like, wow, that was incredible!
Hugh was sooo great in it! I almost cry thinking about it!
You're right, beautiful story, soo imaginitive!

Anyone else seen it?

I'm really looking forward to Rescue Dawn with my celebrity crush, Christian Bale - best actor of our generation.

I am also looking forward to that!! He is a gorgeous man, I agree.
You have seen Empire of the Sun right?!?!? He is adorable as a kid!!!

Yes, I love EOTS. I've seen every movie he's done - I'm re-watching American Psycho (uncut version) this weekend, my favorite movie of his - plus, he's naked in it and his body is perfect.

Wow, you are quite the fan!
He was excellent in American Psycho, I really was creeped out by him. Heehee

I think you might like this, Hotgirl!

rented to dvd's, broken lizards puddle cruisers and that geshia movie. I've forgot that title.

^^ Memoirs of a Geisha? I loved that.

Saw License to Wed tonight. I shall keep my fangirl typing fingers away from the CAPSLOCK button.

^^ yes, thank you SS. I sat here for 2 mins trying to remember and finally gave up and just said geisha.

started watching puddle cruisers last nite...so far funny.

Just watched Love Actually the other night.
That movie is sooo good.
All the little stories are soo cute and hilarious.
I personally loved that adorable little boy!!
And Keira's story was cute too.
Bill Nighy was amazing, that song is getting stuck in my head!

Hahaha

Thank you!
I am happy to be a part of it!
