You should have come away from the book with the Message of Scientology, as that's why he wrote it. Went over the heads of a lot of people, me for example. I was largely bored with it, but when you're at sea you're access to new material is limited.owtth wrote:I kinda wanna see this.

Avoid National Treasure and National Treasure 2. Pantomine level performances, infant school level script.
As for Angels and Demons. Dear, oh dear. A largely random succession of increasingly expositionary scenes, interspersed with dull action sequences. Rubbish.

Travolta should have been expelled from Hollywood after that.

Re: Shit Film Warning. Saving Hours of People's lives.
Funny, I was just reading some reviews of Russian director Timur Bekmambetov's films Wanted, Day Watch, and Night Watch. I suppose I was looking for positive reinforcement, to confirm my suspicion that these were in fact the coolest fucking movies ever made. Imagine my surprise when a fair few reviewers called these films rubbish!



People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Shit Film Warning. Saving Hours of People's lives.
Dude! I just watched Ice Age again recently when I was laid up after my surgeries. Couldn't do much, so I was going through my DVD collection, right? Anyway, I loved Ice Age like crazy. So I figure, okay, I gotta watch the second one now. But when I did, I was like, WTF?! Everything they got right about the first one...well, they seem to have forgotten it the second time aroundRumertron wrote:Ice Age 3D. 'Nuff said.

Re: Shit Film Warning. Saving Hours of People's lives.
The original was pretty good I thought (perhaps not great). I went to see it with my daughter and her best friend when she was about ten or eleven - which helped! The second one was a bit crap, but the third was just abysmal - and in 3D it was just an excuse for bits of the pictures to pop out at ya and startle you now and again!tattuchu wrote:Dude!

Ullee's Gold. Avoid like the plague. The only film ever I walked out on. And I used to watch close to 100 movies a year, so that is saying something.
