I don't think I'll ever forget my first viewing of that movie. I was in a state of horrible emotional turmoil, but after the end of the film, I felt like I was in complete peace and tranquility.

Also Oz your countdown should have been "X Days Until the Miracle." Just sayin'.

"Often I get the feeling that deep down, your little girl is struggling with your embrace of filmfaggotry and your loldeep fixations, and the conflict that arises from such a contradiction is embodied pretty well in Kureha's character. But obviously it's not any sort of internal conflict that makes the analogy work. It's the pigtails." - Merridian

Last night I watched "End of Days" (1999) for the fun of it since the whole rapture thing going on from Harold Camping. Not a good movie, but I think it's a fun horror film to pass off time. It was cool to see Schwarzenegger in something different at the time. 3/5

I was going to watch "2012" (2009) as a double length feature but I was getting sleepy after work.

You'd probably doze off quite easily considering I nearly fell asleep even when watching it in the cinema..

I don't remember where I saw it, but I liked this header for a 2012 review that was something along the lines of "2012 - Even worse than the Mayans predicted" :lol:

Oh fuck yes.

I spilled Ayran(Sticky turkish yoghurt drink) on myself in the last 20 minutes and only cleaned up after the credits started to roll in because I did not care.


so I gather you liked it? :D

I just watched Scott Pilgrim V.S the World. If find it funny, amusing, and easy to relate to.. somewhat. Personally, I find Scott Pilgrim to be what Shinji would be if he grew at least one (more) testicle (A la 2.22), and that chick with interchanging hair colour to be a wanna-be Rei who talks to much.. and fights with a maul.

Well, that explains quite a bit of why I hated Scott Pilgrim so much and wanted to strangle him.

Only good character in that film was the chinese chick. Poor [chinese chick] ;__;

Today I realized that I really don't care that much for Enter the Dragon. Any fight sequence that doesn't involve Bruce Lee kind of sucks. This will go great on the piece I'm planning on writing about doubling and trick editing in action sequences.

I tried to watch Kung Fu Panda today. I hate watch a really good movie suddenly die half way through it. All of the character development and martial arts training seemed to be leading somewhere until half way through the movie, and the studio suddenly remembered that they were DreamWorks and had to go back to doing "Dreamworks" things.

I'd like to introduce you all to the most unintentionally hilarious scene in the history of Korean Melodrama.

Especially from about 3:00-4:00.

Yes, that is the woman in my avatar in that clip.

Absolutely gorgeous and a spectacular actress. The only thing that keeps her below Bae Doona on my favorite actresses list is that 75% of her movies are rubbish. She needs to work with Bong Joon-ho or Park Chan-wook or Hong Sangsoo.

Goddamn, this scene always makes me bawl my eyes out.
It's really, really beautiful.

And the OST of the movie was pretty epic.

Both, know that I think about it. :lol:
But mostly the deleted scenes.
They cut out a lot of pretty interesting Koike stuff.
