Lorne ,'Smile Time'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
How can you resist his smile? And his rhapsodising over Steve Carell?
Oh, I have nothing against The Rock! But I do love The Rock.
First pic from The Last Airbender.
The kid looks okay, I guess, but Dev does not look like Zuko. I am anxious to see the teaser trailer.
I wonder if the RACEFAIL talk will last.
Oh, it will last and last and last.

Going to watch The Transformers to see it?
it will last and last and last.
Hope it makes the news.

I was already going to watch it! I loved the first movie.

Oh dear.
Maybe you can explain the end to me. How did getting that cube kill the bad guy when that's what the bad guy came for in the first place?
I have noooooo idea, dude. That was full of so much WTF. But other than that, it was awesome! Heh.
thank you, ita! when i tell people that movie was crap and try to get them to explain the end, they never can and still tell me i'm weird for not liking it.
I liked the experience of the film--the snarky script, the cool fights, the goofy music choices--not so much the plot.
I found it a great big eyeroll. The men I saw it with liked it (the woman didn't) but they couldn't explain the plot to me, or weird things like the robots watching Shia and Megan make out, nor had they anything to say about the "black" robot being the one that bites it. Which was kinda my favourite part of the movie, because the snappy talking poplocking robot being the only good guy down? Hysterical.
I've been thinking about getting a Nissan Cube. And then getting a license plate that says ALLSPARK...but then people would think I'm a fan.
Terminator Salvation is... very loud. Although some of that was the theater, because the ads & previews were ridiculously loud before the movie even started. But usually the actual movie is quieter, and this is 90% explosions and shouting.
I'd give it 3 stars. Sam Worthington is probably one star by himself. I would see it again for him and the fabulously ridiculous action scenes. I might want to fast-fwd through some of the talky/cheesy bits though. But again: see T2. There's nothing as bad as "I know now why you cry," although it did come close a couple of times.
Also, way funnier than I expected. And bonus points for making the most of the one "fuck" you get in a PG-13 movie, because I'm still laughing about that. Although Marcia and I did think that John Connor should have developed a phobia about helicopters.
