"That man is playing Galaga.  He didn't think we'd notice.  But we did."

I started laughing out loud when he said that.  Along with about 2% of the viewing audience.

Ah, yes.. Otherwise known as the Wendel Clark hat trick.  :)

Quoting this because I don't think that comment got the respect it deserved.  Well done, Sarge.

I don't care, Galaga is still one of my favourite video games.
 
Just saw Pirates! Band of Misfits. Really well done, love the claymation, the dialog and the interesting take on a couple of historical characters! Glad I paid money to go see it.
 
I had the, uhh, "pleasure" of watching an advanced screening of Chernobyl Diaries this evening, and, I'll just say this - if any part of you or anyone you know has any interest in seeing this abomination of a movie, kill it with fire.

Vague preview hand-held camera action lazy horror movies have gotten really old. 
What kind of genre is the thing at least: zombie? generalized mutant? not bothered to be shown because that makes it "scarier"?

It's not really even a hand held style horror movie (though, there was a fair amount of shaky cam). It's just all sorts of awful. And, I guess it was generalized mutant. It was really hard to tell, and they never really tried to explain it either. The deaths were . . . well, mainly off screen and the "meat" of the thing lasted for maybe 15 minutes, and, really, there was a lot of build up for no pay off. Just poorly done all around. The only thing it had going for it was that it didn't over do the CGI - in fact, I'm not convinced there really was any.

I *hate* this.  I get the idea behind it, our imagination is scarier than what they can show on screen, and the longer we go without seeing it, the more anticipation builds.  But unless there's a payoff at some point, it's just irritating.

I'm looking at you, Blair Witch Project.  A dude standing in the corner should never be the climax of a movie.
 
I finally got around to watching that two-hour long Apple Inc. commerical Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. I enjoyed it. Lots of action, stunts, cleavage, and intrigue.
 
Oh man, just watched Cape Fear for the first time, and it's gotta be in my top 5 scary movies.

This guy scares the bejezus outta me.  I've heard that the original is even better, anyone seen it?
 
Saw a trailer for that new snow white movie and have one question:

It what world is Kristen Stewart "fairer" than Charlize Theron?

We're supposed to cheer for the Queen in that one, right?
 
Prometheus was pretty good. A ton of detail, lot's of questions left over and of course Ridley's eye guiding the lot.

Fassbender with an amazing performance.
 
After switching over to US Netflix, I got to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and it was a better version of the book coming to life, instead of the American one. 
 
Interesting, I've heard the opposite from a couple of friends who have seen both versions. I haven't seen the US versions yet.
