OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

[Atrocities]

My nephews are begging me to take them to see this movie, Shark-boy. I would much rather take them to go see "Watching The Grass Grow" - than suffor through yet another abysmal child geared 3d movie. OMGNFWINH - Oh My God, No F'ing Way In Hell!

To bad about EP III (Star Wars) It was a really good movie that simply was not epic enough. When all is boiled down, there isn't enough to keep people coming back for more. The movie has grossed over $360,000,000 million US and close to a billion world wide, with only about $975,000 in sales last week so its on the fast track to the DVD market.

Star Wars was a revalation in the movie industry. Since then most movies, say for Titanic, have not been as "must see" as Star Wars and I honestly don't think there ever will be again. Sure ET and a few others were great movies, but nothing on the scale of Star Wars as far as uniqueness and glass roof shattering presense.

ROTS - albeit a great moive, simply is the end of an era that could have been a lot more exciting in its journey than in its execution. To many people were turned off by EP I and II to trust the revies of EP III.

Well, no, we're probably not going to have that same feeling again. We're used to stunning visuals, great plot twists and good story. Even if what we get is normally not that good, there's still movie's like Spiderman 1&2, which are two of the highest-grossing movie's of all time. Plus LoTR, Batman Begins was good, plenty of good movie's that are worth seeing and can amaze you.

But none of them have the same impact, because we know these movie's can be made. Star Wars was a new thing when it was made.

You know what I say? So what. I. Don't. Care. If a book is good, I'll re-read it. If a movie is good, I'll see it again. And in the end, I'm happy I saw or read something that was good, even if it's not that new.
