Actually, I don’t think Twilight was bad. I really liked Kristen Stewart. I liked that the heroine was actually injured after her fight with the bad guys. I like it when movies don’t insult my intelligence, which a lot of movies do. I was watching the Bourne Ultimatum, which I really like by the way, but in the fight scene between Bourne and the Asset sent to kill Nicky, did it bother anyone else, that Bourne had almost no marks at all from that fight? Didn’t that just undermine the intensity of that whole scene? I’ve bleed more from shaving nicks then he did from getting his face beat by this highly trained assassin. Throw me a bone.
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

That's what I liked about Serenity- damage taken & acknowledged.

First of all I can hardly keep from LOL at Christisall’s signiture. I must have spent 30 minutes laughing before I could even post.
Ok, now to other things, the new “The Day the Earth Stood Still” is a little disappointing but people probably need to catch it for themselves to judge what they think. “Twilight” I will have to say is a movie that my wife wanted to see and I tagged along. I think that I was one of two “guys” that were in the theater out of a group of about 40. It was good and what I would call a pretty good “date” flick. People should check it out.
The Star Trek movie trailer was good and so was the new Terminator ( minus Summer). Also The Spirit , with Samuel L. Jackson looked good and is a Frank Miller film.
Sorry I can’t continue, still laughing at the three Star Trek hipsters…..lol

I have to say this was an average film. The scenes alternated between cool and "what the fuck is going on here?". I get the feeling Frank Miller was torn between telling the story in his own way and trying like hell to stay true to the source material. The end result is a rather uneven picture.

I enjoyed it. Should be interesting watching the career of Seychille Gabriel, her only other role listed on imdb is "very attractive girl" on some tv show.
Plus, it had Sarah Paulson, only 4 years after Serenity.

A book that just screams out for a movie is H, Beam Piper's (anyone remember him?) "Space Viking". Or maybe even the "Little Fuzzy" series. Heck, anything from the "Terra-human future history" branch of his writing has great potential.

Saw the trailer for Dragonball. This would be scifi, no?
Seems interesting. Not sure if it's mostly for kids.
