Movies this summer

[Oddball]

Has anyone seen District 9 yet?

Is it any good?

[akashayi]

I hear it's actually pretty good, but I haven't seen it yet myself .... still need to >.>

[Oddball]

Just seen the advert for it on Tv just now along with the final destination film (which I hope is the final final destination film).

[Dragonizer]

District 9 is amazing, guys. Go see it. =D

I can't wait to see the next Final Destination movie myself. I'm a fan of the bloody, violent, gorey movies like FD is. And hellsyeah, 3D!

Ick. I can't see the allure of watching people die horrifically.

I mean, maybe in brutal combat or something, but death traps just seem so lame.

I quite enjoyed district 9 myself it was well made, and I also saw inglorious bastards at the midnight release, I must say I have not been so entertained in a long time, it was a great movie ^^

as for coming attractions I do want to see 9 the original film short it was based on was really cool, and I want to see surrogate the trailer looked quite epic as well as lovely bones,  where the wild things are, the new tron, and zombieland all on my "to see" list

[akashayi]

Heh, I finally saw chocolate last night:

I see nothing about Tron. Did nobody else see the Tron Trailer?
It's TRON!

[akashayi]

Heh, I'll see it but I'm wary. I mean, just look at wargames 2. ./shudder

I am really looking forward to the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Heath Ledger's true final movie, and it looks rad

[Pozf]

Whether it's good or not has nothing to do with it >.>;

That actually looks really interesting.

[Oddball]

There was a wargames 2?!?!?! and nooone told me?

[akashayi]

Yeah, I'm totally going to watch the new Tron anyway.

also, Odd... There is a wargames 2... but it really doesn't exist in my mind. ./shudder
One of the worst movies I've ever seen

[Brion Foulke]

The Final Destination... that has got to be one of the silliest movie titles in awhile.  It's so wierd how they take or remove a "the" and call it a sequel.

For example, Final Destination series:

Final Destination
Final Destination 2
Final Destination 3
The Final Destination (Wut?)

Fast & The Furious series:

The Fast & The Furious
2 Fast, 2 Furious
The Fast & The Furious, Tokyo Drift
Fast & Furious (Are you kidding??)

So for one franchise they add a "the," for the other they remove the "the's."  There's something really really wrong with marketing execs in the movie industry these days... do they have brain damage?

So I was thinking, what would be like if some other popular movie franchises started following this trend.  Then we'd have movies like:

The Die Hard
The Ghostubsters
The Star Wars
Godfather
Natural

[akashayi]

Oh man, given the stagnation of new ideas in hollywood, it's highly likely those titles will come to fruition.

The Final Destination... that has got to be one of the silliest movie titles in awhile.  It's so wierd how they take or remove a "the" and call it a sequel.

My bet peeve is the progressive numbering. I.e. Ocean's Eleven...Ocean's Twelve...Ocean's Thirteen.

Let's be thankful it wasn't called 3 fast, 3 furious.

[akashayi]

or worse, "faster and furiouser"

[Oddball]

"Fastest and furiouest" 

Some more:

The Alien
The Aliens
Dam Busters (Peter Jackson stop filming NOW please!!!)

This reminds of a pathetic attack against boredom I came up with at work...of taking movie titles and adding the good old "in bed" after them.

This summer we've had such greats as:
Fast and Furious...in bed.
Twelve rounds...in bed.

and my personal favorite
Ice Age...in bed.
