I don't expect it to be as good as the original of course, I'm just hoping that it will be an entertaining horror film due to Raimi's involvement. And as usual I'll wait until I see it before I decide whether I like it or not.

Fair enough, but I would recommend you see it for free ("try before you buy") and if you think it deserves it THEN give it your money.

I hope I'm making my point clear that if morons blindly give money to these lazy assholes they'll just keep doing what they're doing. I, like you, am hoping it'll be an entertaining horror film, but remakes have shown "not to be trusted" to put it in a way and so far certainly don't deserve to be rewarded due to the blind apathy of brainless morons who insist on helping these hacks slowly ruin a fantastic and universal form of entertainment. Stand up for good cinema for a change.

I have a feeling from the pure nutball fantasy aspect of this story that it was no doubt written by some hack who worked on LOST.

I have no clue why everyone's jizzing their pants over this film. There's nothing special about it at all. Was it because it's trendy these days to get moist and give Oscars to films with Indian characters? The visual effects were indeed beautiful and no doubt deserved the Oscar for their work, but not every shot was well done and some of them look simply awful. I'm also guessing if it weren't for the recent layoffs at the Rhythm and Hues VFX studio that nobody would be really talking about it.
The thing that saves the movie is where it's revealed it was all in his head to deal with the cook killing and eating the sailor, then his mother, and him killing the cook in revenge without completely snapping.

Of course, this reveal would be 10x more interesting if it wasn't so fucking obviously revealed immediately by the reporter

???

At the very end the writer reads the report from the Japanese insurance adjusters and they, too, chose to believe the story with the tiger.

Did we watch the same movie or was it an alternate ending mixup?

Googled for more info and found this, perhaps of interest?

Amazing Spiderman. 8/10. I thought it was really good, mostly because spiderman is british and kosher like me.

I also think it's quite funny that the director is called Webb.

Gangster Squad = 4/10 - A not-so-rubbish-but-mostly-rubbish attempt at some wannabe Untouchables schlock. Some cool cinematography but a predictable, cliché and worn story coupled with bad dialogue and hammy acting of one-dimensional stock characters makes this film stink of poo.

A Good Day to Die Harder Another Day Somewhere Else Cause I'm On Vacation Or Somat = 1/10 - Fuck off with this shit. Bruce Willis looked almost as bored as I felt. 1 point for the hot chick.

The Master 6/10

Some really good, perhaps even impressive acting by Joaqim Phoenix and whatever the name was of the dude that played Ron Hubbard - but it wasn't enough to save this movie. It meanders all over the place, going from boring to inexplicable then zooming straight back to superboring like it just doesn't care. Left me wondering if they perhaps cut dozens of scenes that would have given purpose and direction to what seemed like a disjointed collection of scenes. Maybe it was just meant to be like this, a sort of not so very clever analogy to the general random pointlessness of existence and the futility of religion in healing the black holes in the chests of men where their hearts are supposed to be, but whatever.

Oz the Great and Powerful - 4/10 - kids' movie with the expected "look, I'm in 3D" flourishes.

How does someone count to zero?

I realize insane programmers try to divide by zero, but how do you actually reach that number in your count?
Do you begin to count and then say,"Fuck it" and spark a joint? Cause that's how I do everything. :up:

Count backwards or count forward starting with negative numbers?

Skyfall - 4/10

The only gadget was a gun only he could fire? Lame. What happened to submarine cars and laser watches?

Villain was weak. No real plan and was just an off-kilter crybaby.

Too much Bond beating up men, not enough sexy women in minimal clothing.

Q was a scrawny douche.

I miss the over the top James Bond films with the cool weapons, crazy villains, and ridiculous plans.

Haven't seen it yet, but sounds like Bond got "real".

Don't think that's a good thing.
For instance, we already have the gritty Bourne series.
And Batman getting all dark and serious.

Good Bond movies always had that light, tongue in cheeck vibe.
Should maintain that vibe to distinguish itself.
