On the miniscule chance that you are not simply an alt-nick of one of the regular mouth-breathers:

func_msgboard is a site that mostly revolves around making user-created levels for the Quake series of games, although there are various other types of discussions going on at any given time as well. Welcome. Also "please" is spelled "please".

On the other hand, it's almost certain that this is some clownboat regular, so if so, then I hope you get anally violated by a hobo for wasting the previous few seconds of my life. 

show respect for the id guys would be to not remove their creative vision from the movie

I think calling it a creative vision is giving them a little too much credit. Let's face it, the Doom and Quake series are more a collection of ad-hoc shit that seemeed cool at the time. 

I think we're alone now/There doesn't seem to be anyone around 

This is the work of Zombie/Black Dog/PeeJ/distrans et. al 

But Peej is in the UK...

Or is he? 

Three Colours - Blue - This is very good, some of the visuals are very haunting and memorable and the themes are very well communicated to the viewer. Well worth watching.

His Girl Friday - Good film, but after a while the manic delivery and acting coupled with the extremely loud and overlapping dialogue started to make my head hurt. Still, theres some good wit on display and its well worth a watch. 

...Three colours in general. what did you think of the "series." Are they all worth watching, or just Blue? 

havent made it to red and white yet, I'll post once I get to them. 

I think i liked white best. 

Constantine - Stupid, but fairly amusing I guess. Some ok visuals and ideas, Hell looks cool, but I was dissapointed there was only really one kind of demon, too bad. Ending was not quite as stupid as I was excpecting. Oh, and Keanu still doesn't know how to act, also, the movie just kinda feels like a long anti-smoking ad.

Beyond the Clouds - Gorgeous anime movie, the backgrounds and visuals here are just so fresh and nice, that alone was enough to make me enjoy it. Otherwise it's some strange (duh, its japanese) sci-fi-ish drama, with a touch of fantasy... the story doesn't make all that much sense, especially during the end, but the characters are ok.

Trouble - Some french movie released here recently, I have trouble deciding if I like it or hate it. The story is pretty interesting, some good psychological thriller ideas... Directing was badly overdone at times tho, some anoying shackycam, and too much zooming on the characters faces all the time, oh and the music sucks horrendously, really unoriginal and predictable classical stuff. 

I seem to have enjoyed this a lot more than you did. Don't get me wrong--it's not OMGAWESOME or anything, but I thought it was quite good.

I was initially horrified when I heard that Keanu was cast as John Constantine and figured he would screw it up beyond all recognition, but I thought he actually did a pretty decent job in the role.

Maybe my opinion is just a bit rose-colored due to the movie being decent and entertaining as opposed to the steaming pile of shit I was expecting, but I liked it. 

Oh yeah, it was better than what I was expecting too, and I enjoyed it, just would'nt see it again or easily recommend it to people. =)
I really didn't think Keanu was any good, just his usual self... (which, fortunatly, didn't fit too bad with the character). His opening and closing his lighter all the time kind of anoyed me too, wonder how many times he accidently sent that thing flying across the stage during filming, hehe, bet he wounded some people with it. 

You know, that Hitler movie.

I thought I remembered someone mentioned it in this thread, but I've been scrolling through 300 posts here now and not found anything.

Anyway, awesome film. Powerful.
Top notch acting, fantastic directing, completely heart-wrenching story. Wonderful account of the physical brutality of WW2 and the mental breakdown of those behind it. Very highly recommended.

(And although it feels really wrong to even think about the movie in this context: There's a lot of sexy uniforms in it.) 

I agree wholeheartedly with you about constantine pjw, and I agree with Bal about hell being very cool. I guess I'll go watch der untergang at the movies sometime.

shit, sorry for double post mates 

Machurian Candidate (2004) - I saw this last night too and have to say that this was an average movie at best. I have seen the original, so unfortunately comparisons had to be made. Whilst the new version was efficient, the old one kills it in comparison.

Three Colors White - Not as good as blue but still a fine film. Lacks the memorable scenes and visuals that Blue had and the overall script's weak. The acting's pretty good though and that coupled with the efficient direction make it worth watching.

Breathless (godard) - Pretty good although it hardly comes across as innovative now. Still, the direction's pretty assured and the whole thing has a definite sense of cool about it. Hope there's a better dvd release of it soon though.

AvP - yes I guess I'm a sucker for punishment and yes its bad but its not awful. It's actually slow paced for a Paul WS Anderson film with a decent buildup. What it lacks is any characters that are even 2% interesting and decent fight scenes. The ones that are there are in near darkness with 500 cuts a minute applied to them. YOu see shome green stuff spurt there and some blades flashing somewhere else but it's hard to really know whats going on.

And the updated alien queen moves like a t-rex from jurassic park. 

It was pure LCD -- Lowest Common Denominator. Not an interesting idea, character or fight in the entire movie. Better, more original and newer material could have been found in John Campbell's rejection pile for Astounding Magazine in the 1950's but Hollywood is fixated on a very narrow spectrum when Science Fiction is concerned.

I really disliked this movie. 

three colours red - very very good, as good as blue if not better. Performances are excellent and the script is well executed. Also sports the best use of color out of the trilogy IMHO.

The Philadelphia Story - started off quite well with some good witty dialogue. But the further along it went, the scacer the witty repartee became and I didnt think that the rest of the story was convincing enough. Performances were good, espcially Hepburn and Stewart, although I'm at a loss to explain why James Stewart got an oscar for this and not for some of his other more better roles. 

anyone seen Sin City? it's been delayed for release in Australia till august and I've been wanting to catch it ever since I saw the trailer. 

Got the download through the UJ forums. Sometimes it sucks living in the future, because by the time the movie screens here, the tie-ins have already crawled up everybody's ass and died...
if they're lucky. 

yeah, there's a good chance the US dvd version will be out by the time the movie gets out here.

Damn cursant present! 

overall i liked it. Ive never read the comics, though I was aware of them. At times i thought this would become an empty excerise in style, like Moulin Rogue, but it managed to have a decent story to tell. Reminds me more of kill bill in the sense that it's the latest iteration of ever-slicker regurgitations of pop culture -- in this case comics and film noir. I liked clive owen's story the least; the other two were for the most part solidly entertaining. Visually a success.
