Title: Current Movies
Post by: lagas on May 01, 2008, 05:27:00 pm
So, who's excited about Iron Man? It seems that it could be a good movie considering its a Marvel flick (see Fantastic 4)

I'll assume that comment about the Fantastic Four movie was missing the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags.
 
 I'm not at all excited about Iron Man, but seeing as I'm a comic geek I'll see it.

Maybe having low expectations is the way to go. I'm pretty excited, I think Iron Man was one of the first comics I ever read...and it was pretty crazy for me to realize about all his problems with women and stuff, also I want to find out how's the Robert Downey Jr. version of Tony Stark...

i'm looking forward to iron man, might even go see it tomorrow (opening day).  more mindless fun involving shit being blown up, woohoo!  pass the popcorn.
 
 last weekend the missus dragged me to "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".  given how many concerts i drag her to, it was kinda cool that she took the entertainment reigns.  what i feared to be a total chick flick turned out to be a decent comedy.  the rock-star boyfriend is a riot, and his songs are awesome.  it gets a recommendation from me.  good date movie.

The one reason Im going to see Iron Man is the new Dark Knight trailer premieres before it.

I don't understand anything about that post.  Is Miss P asking a question?  Why the "so?"  Like:
 
 "So....'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' is fantastic?"
 
 And FTW?  Doesn't that stand for "F*** the World?"  Jason Segal, F*** the World?
 
 Is Miss P speaking in some roller hockey code?  I thought she was an English major.  Maybe she was drunk when she wrote that.

I would like to see Iron Man.  It seems like it will be great.
 
 Looking forward to Indiana Jones, Dark Knight, Speedracer, and, of course, Sex and the City. (because I'm a girl)

What does everyone think about the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie with Edward Norton?  I'm indifferent.

I saw the trailer and Norton talking about split personalities.  I thought it was a trailer to "Fight Club 2"

Oh, thanks for enlightening me on that.  I don't play video games and don't hang out on the internet where they use slang speak ('n00b?') but now I know.  "For the Win."
 
  Although, along with the Beatles, Springsteen, Saturday Night Live and Monty Python, I just don't GET Judd Apatow films. (http://www.cracked.com/blog/2008/04/21/how-to-make-your-own-judd-apatow-movie/)
 
 This Apatow guy must have some REAL issues, because every single movie is loser/virgin/awkward/gross-out/gets-laid-in-the-end.
 
 Wait a minute Miss P, did you only like "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and Jason Segal because you got to see his Southern Hemisphere?  Have you been hanging out with Roller Derby gals so long that that is "hot" to you?  For the Win!  For the win, indeed!

 P.S.  I was desperately looking for Elizabeth Wurtzel's FTW tattoo.  Can't find it.

not sure where you got the "only like it because" message, but as someone with a reputation for getting off on Nat Geo pictorals you're in a poor position to judge what other people find exciting.  FTW.
 
 your infatuation with miss p is really cute, bri-bri.

saw Iron Man yesterday, pretty entertaining movie, Roberto Downey hijo does a pretty good job and Gwyneth Paltrow looks very hot (something improbable after being married with Coldplay's singer IMO). The details of the Iron Man "suit/armor" are very cool. The music didnt turn me on though, too much hard core metal for my taste, but I guess it was kind of obvious that they use that kind of soundtrack, beginning with AC/DC's Black in Black and ending with, what else, Black Sabbath's Iron Man, which is cool, but not THAT cool

IRON MAN is excellent. Best movie of the year thus far.
 
 On DVD, finally checked out Darjeeling Limited starring Owen Wilson and co. Very entertaining, movie that makes you think.

Yes, I'll admit it was pretty good.  They should have replaced the classic rock (AC/DC, Sabbath) with some FOB or MCR.  But, it was a very fun movie.  Why is Leslie Bibb so familiar?  "I'm doing a piece for Vanity Fair."

Where's that gazing at your navel picture?  The best part of that movie was Natalie Portman getting naked in the prologue.

saw iron man tonight - good, solid superhero movie.  RDjr is very believable as tony stark.  the suit does indeed steal the show.  apparently stereotypical bad guys these days are afghani warlords and corrupt arm manufacturers... how novel.
 
 expect to see many sequels from this new franchise - which is just fine by me.
 
  apparently iron man did alright at the box office (http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/04/boxoffice.ap/index.html)
