I bought my blu-ray edition of 300! going to watch it tonight after the kids go to bed.

You have a blu-ray!!!!

I am SO jealous!

no chance to watch it tonight with my migraine so most likely tomorrow night.

Man, I love that movie.
I can't wait to watch it.
Going to buy special edition tomorrow.

I just saw The Simpsons Movie and I thought it was genius!!

Mrs RC picked up 300, Hot Fuzz and The Last Mimzy last night.

Unfortunetly movie night was cancelled due to misbehaving children.

"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" was on last night. That movie kills me.

Oh, and I caught Ingmar Bergman being interviewed by Dick Cavett this morning on TCM. CLASSIC and wished I had seen it all.

I've seen that movie so many times. They showed it like everyday for awhile on AMC.

Can't wait for these 300 ads to get off TV.

It's still a total **** movie. That is all

I disagree with you there, Fechin.
I bought it today at Best Buy and got Bourne Idenity for $5. Good deal
Pumped for Ultimatum.

Fechin I love you and your **** attitude remember one mans trash is another mans treasure

Vertigo should be in my mailbox today.

Anyone who is going to see The Simpsons Movie needs to stay around to watch the end credits. It is worth it!

The more you know.

^^I agree with Snog.

I thought Stardust looked alright. The ads say it's in the same spirit of 'Alien' and '2001: A Space Odyssey". I LOVE Alien, and 2001 was interesting, so I might like Stardust.

Has anyone seen "Election" with Mathew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon? I saw it on Showtime over the weekend and it was amazing. I want to get it on DVD.

Yeeeesssss!

Yes! Reece Witherspoon is AMAZINGLY good in this.

It sounds a little cheesy, but I really like fantasy movies, so I'll go see this. And I didn't know Ricky Gervais was in it! Yay!




One of my all-time favorite movies. Definitely desert-island worthy!



Thanks snogging! I'm going to go see it this weekend, finally!

we wont/cant watch 300 till Friday. Hubby is too tired to make it thru the whole movie after the kids go to bed at 9/930 during the week.

p.s. his luggage finally arrived!

Uh oh, I think I missed the luggage info earlier. My hubby's luggage was lost twice in the past week and a half (one time each trip... to the same place). He got his back too, though (yay ).

We got "Reno 911: Miami" and "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" in the mail today. Hubby didn't wanna watch either tonight, so I guess we'll save them for later this week. I'm excited about the bobby-soxer one... lots of you have said it's good, so I'm trusting you .




Stupid question: what exactly is the benefit of having blu-ray? What does it do? How does it work? I'm quite content with regular tv, but I've seen a lot of "blu-ray" stuff lately, which means it's pretty popular... I'm assuming . Anyone?

Very good tip snogging!


Yes, this is a great movie.

I've rented this movie, looks prety good called the darwin awards, supposed to be funny.

I also watched when a stranger calls, it was bad but it was something to watch. 300 was all out at the video store, guess I will have to wait.

Blu-ray is the most popular high-definition format. So if you buy DVD's you can get them in the regular format, or HD Blu-ray, and there's a competing HD format too, but I forget the name. It's like the old Beta -vs- VHS format war back in the '80's. Blu-ray is winning so far. It works exactly the same, but you need a machine that can display hi-def, as well as a tv with hi-def capability. Otherwise a Blu-ray disc will look just like a regular one on a regular tv. I'm sure there are lots of people here who can tell you more, (or correct any of my erroneous info.).

I finally got around to watching the Simpsons movie & it was definitely worth the wait. I don't think I've ever laughed harder. So many classic scenes & lines. One that stood out was when Homer made that chainsaw sound . Homer's pet pig was hilarious too. Frigging awesome. I'll definitely see it again.

I want to see it again too, especially since the first time I saw it, the man behind me was horribly obnoxious and wouldn't shush. Hope you stayed around for the end credits.

I think hubby and I are going to watch the Bourne Ultimatum this weekend. I've been looking forward to it for months!

Oh it's good alright... (But keep in mind that I was 17 when I was crushing for Shirley in that movie. Had I seen that movie now, she'd be a little too young.).

If you see a chubby gruff guy about 50 fishing in Reno 911:Miami that's my buddy Jeff. He's a movie extra. He says he got some screen time in that film, but I haven't seen the movie yet.

We watched 'The Last Mimzy'. It was ok. Not bad, not great.

Haha, you crack me up, RC. I'm sure I'll enjoy that movie .

I'll have to watch for your friend when we watch Reno 911:Miami. Fishing, you say? Should be an interesting movie .

It's a very good movie. Very funny. Cary Grant is great in it. He's a perfect gentleman with Shirley.

Okay a movie called the Darwin awards...sucked!!! it's not a quirky little comedy at all.

I went and saw Hairspray today. LOVED IT I really want to go and see it again

i have gotten 'for your consideration' and 'the life aquatic of steve zissou' from netflix. thoughts on either?

I rented some b movies cause still there was no hot fuzz or 300, so I rented the rise of Taj. not funny, just dumb and bubba hotep(spelling)? A bruce campbell piece, so yeah that will be funny.

I am going to the simpsons tomorrow, either with my friend or with out. brit is too busy to take me.

Saw The Bourne Ultimatum today. Unbelievably great! Going again tomorrow...

Everyone I know loved 'Aquatic Life' but I thought it was terrible.

I found the plot weak and I felt that they tried to compensate for the plot by having interesting characters. But I didn't really like any of the characters so the whole thing fell flat for me.

The wacky characters angle works for me if it's done really well (like Arrested Development) but 'Aquatic Life' was weak.

We went last weekend. I loved it too, although now I want to see the John Waters one again to compare. My nephew had a screen credit in Hairspray for special effects. He has another one coming up for Beowulf.

That's AWESOME! More details please! I've been a movie special fx geek since I was a kid (those old Ray Harryhausen movies are fantastic)

^^^He lives in Toronto, and just graduated from film school. I don't know what exactly he worked on, but I'll find out.

That was a really cute movie . I just might have to buy it .




Hubby and I just got back from watching this and I thought it was great . I'll probably have to get the set when it comes out.

Ooh, during the previews, they had an advertisement about The Office's S3 DVD!!!... out September 4th (I'm sure you all already knew ), but I'm so excited about it!

I can't wait until I go see The Bourne Ultimatum. Some people thought the sequel was a letdown but I didn't. Also, I didn't use to take Matt Damon too seriously back in the day but after the Bourne movies, The Departed and so on, I've really grown to respect him as an actor.

I just finished watching this, and I'm sure I know of which death you are thinking of.

I liked the movie, though.

Yeah- I'm interested in seeing the older version of that movie now too

That's awesome that he got to work on the film. There were actually quite a few special effects in it

I just read that Ray Stevenson will play the new Punisher in the next movie. Fingers crossed!

I watched Stick it tonite...OMG it was just awful but I oddly couldn't stop watching. Just like Bring it. I'm very ashamed.

Just saw Bourne yesterday!
AWESOME!
I think it was a lot better than the second. And, the second was pretty darn good!
Matt Damon is sooo sweet in this, how does he do this stuff?
The ending was probably the best ever. I don't know about you guys, but the audience in my theater was cheering and clapping and laughing. It was awesome!
I LOVED IT! I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN!

I just saw it as well. I think it was the best, just beating out the first. The actions sequences were amazing and Matt Damon gave another great performance.

I perusing the internet today and came across something intriguing. Apparantly Frank Darabont has directed a film adaption of Stephen King's short story "The Mist". It comes out this November. This could potentially be a great movie, especially since Darabont has a pretty good track record with bringing Stephen King stories to the big screen.

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE ROCKED! I want to see it again already

I saw The Simpsons movie yesterday, and saw this commerical a few minutes after sitting down. I wasn't expecting it, so I was very excited. Even though we already know when it's coming out, it was still kind of cool to see Jim/Pam/Michael/Dwight up on the big screen, if only for a few seconds.



I'm pretty sure I read this story, but I'm blanking on what it's about. I am a huge SK fan, and I have read a lot (though not all) of his stuff. What is this one about?

We saw Transformers last weekend so we had seen the previews to The Simpsons. Hubby asks Saturday what I want to do. I tell him I want to see The Simpsons. I get "the look". So I put my hands up to the ceiling like I'm holding something and sing "Spider Pig, Spider Pig." He cracked up and we went! It was PERFECT!

Who ever said stay for the credits, THANK YOU!

I went and saw The Bourne Ultimatum this weekend. WOW! It's the best of the trilogy by far. I loved the first two, but this one blew my mind. It's the first movie this summer where my husband didn't check his watch -- there wasn't time to look away!

I really want to see this movie but I'm going to have to rent the first 2 again. It's been such a long time since I've seen the others I can't really remember the storyline very well But I definitely want to see the new one
