Nope and I have no plans to see it. Over-hyped movies about teenagers killing teenagers and teenage vampire movies leave me cold.

What is the verdict on The Three Stooges? Worth seeing or skip it?

Depends. I'd say go on cheap night. Not the most entertaining of G-rated movies, but the homage is brilliant.

Went and saw Cabin in the Woods tonight. Absolutely loved it. It's a horror movie meets a horror send up meets...well, let's just say there's a much bigger picture going on here. ;D

Whereas I got to see Five Year Engagement. I painful cliche to watch. There are a couple of mild chuckles, but that's about. As the trajectory of the movie follows that of most rom-coms, one could care less about the trials and tribulations of the characters, as we all know exactly what is going to happen.

This is a chick flick supreme.

Watched J. Edgar last night. Long movie. Only really interesting if you know a little about the man to start with. My wife was bored by the end. I did learn something though... who knew he was a daffodil.... :o

Fairly common theory.

Saw The Raven last night - wasn't too bad. I like Cusack's acting to start with, but his portrayal of Poe was rather mild. He didn't come across as a drugged out writer.

I've learned from two independent sources (both credible) that he had intel that Pearl was going to be attacked and ignored it due to an OD of paranoia. Did that by chance come out in the movie?

I have an (in)credible source that says that J.Edgar had intel on Roswell and knew that the US military had ETs and ET hardware on ice. That FBI agents discovered the cover-up whilst tailing CIA operatives who were, in turn, tailing Army Intel operatives who were holding the ET gear.

I find reports of ET to be interesting but I'm not ready to toss in with the believers as yet.

However, there is documentation of a UK double agent who had connected the dots he picked up on the German side and went to Hoover warning him about an impending attack at Pearl. Hoover, being the paranoid nut he was, rejected the claim because he didn't trust the agent after a face-to-face meeting.

The rest is history.

No - they didn't mention that in the movie. I suspect a lot of good stuff was pushed aside to develop the "love story" - ick.

Got my tix... The Avengers in 3D tonight!!

Centurion40 · May 05, 2012, 07:19:09 AM

Okay, so there are 2 things that y'all need to know about The Avengers:

1. Gweneth Paltrow has really big feet.
2. This movie is all-that & a bag of chips, a big fecking bag of chips.

Oh sure I groaned and rolled my eyes big time when Cap gave Loki a lesson on freedom, but frame-for-frame this is the BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE EVER MADE!!

I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but holy farking snit whatta ride, and a long ride too. Sure, every single minute of the film was not riveting, but that last hour... wowee!

There were even some genuine, gut-busting laughs (deliberate) thanks to The Hulk.

What else can I say? I know, there are 2 extra scenes among the rolling of the credits, I'll put them at the end of this post, spoiler alert style as the next villain is revealed and if it is who I think it is, then I CANNOT WAIT!!

37 out of 40.

** SPOILER ALERT**

The first of the two extra scenes during the credits reveals a deep space-based Apocalypse as the next villain.

The final scene, shown at the end of the credits shows all of The Avengers, battered after the big battle, sitting in silence, in a New York shwarma restaurant, eating sandwiches.

** END SPOILER ALERT**
