The last movie you saw...

[maxpayne2409]

not my house persay, more my room had a tv, vcr, dvdrecorder, pc, scanner, printer, stereo, ps2, gamecube, fan, speakers, telephone answering machine, lamp, sky digibox, etc all running off one socket

but we got a conservatory built and because our wiring is over 30years old, by law the electrician wasn't allowed to add anything else to it until it was all rewired.

When he saw my stuff running off 1 socket he nearly had a heart attack

[dinky]

sounds a bit like my room.

conservatory? like a giant cage to house rare and endangered birds?

[maxpayne2409]

yeah something like that although in this case it's a bricked and windowed extension to house my server and my mums exercise bike

[MyK]

Besides the usual TV shows I also watched two of the more recent Shitbusters releases, one being "When Worlds Collide" that was way better than I thought of it before - The science of it still sucks big time but nowhere near to what some would suggest and there are a few shots of tsunami aftermath that easily puts "The Day After Tomorrow" to shame - and the other one was "DNA" that's basically a Predator rip off and one of the lamest movies I've ever seen in my life that I still enjoyed in a perverted kinda way

Glad to have you back with us Max!

[maxpayne2409]

it's good to be back, haven't really had the time to watch much movie related, watched some tv eps tho, latest eps of life on mars (awesome ending), doctor who, etc etc, played some more cnc3: tiberium wars aswell

all I got outta that is that you admit to having watched the day after tomorrow</i>.

about to watch sopranos, entourage. maybe also tudors.

Well there's not much else to say about those two movies. They suck but have their good moments, "When Worlds Collide" more so than "DNA". Would I recommend any of the two? Nope The first one is an apocalyptic type of Sci-Fi and there are plenty of descriptions of it on the web way better than what I'm capable of writing. The latter is watchable cuz of all the laughs how bad it is and the best scenes of it are exactly the same as in "Predator" only with lousy actors, poor directing and special effects on par with what Carpenter did for at least 100 times less money in "Dark Star". And, just for the sake of being exact -- I watched "The Day After Tomorrow" twice

[maxpayne2409]

when worlds collide is a good film (if you mean the original and not the remake), i haven't seen the remake so can't comment, i'm currently downloading DNA coz i like cheesey shit movies, and i have also seen the day after tomorrow with it's hilarious "i can outrun global warming"

[MyK]

There was a remake of When Worlds Collide Didn't know that and yeah I was watching the original 1951 version. There's a new remake announced for 2008 by DreamWorks on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455856/).

Watched a couple of eps of Dexter yesterday and I like it so far. Dinkys description of it was spot on Also watched latest ep of ReGenesis and last three eps of Lost.

[maxpayne2409]

ah that's probably the remake i'm thinking of, i knew one was being made, didn't know if it was out or not, but when you said it was a shit film i presumed the remake was out, as the original was amazing for its time

[MyK]

For it's time I didn't say it was shit, it was a Shitbusters release rip It sucks in a good way as the science of it was of pre-space era and one should take note of that before watching it. It's full of misconceptions of space environment and that's understandable but it's also full of flaws in basic physics and that's not something I take lightly even for those times. There were books on possibilities of space flight out even some 50 years before this movie was shot that were way more realistic, some even frighteningly so, like one of my countryman's Herman Potočnik (a.k.a. Hermann Noordung). His ideas were greatly put to use when shooting 2001: A Space Odyssey To the credit of the releasers, I did enjoy both of those movies mentioned before

[maxpayne2409]

realism is something i always put on hold for scifi, i mean the clue is in the name, science fiction, fiction based around a sciency nature

[MyK]

Uh.. Iunno, that would make that "Sci" in it unnecessary, wouldn't it I always thought SciFi as a name can define two yet unnamed genres, one being a fictitious science and the other a scientific fiction. Perhaps even a third one that would be a mixture of both. But if there's no science in it or the science of it is bad, then that makes it either a non-scientific fiction or a bad SciFi. Or a mixture of both, like when a scientist is having wet dreams - that's pure fiction and bad science

Bad jokes aside, I just watched "Seraphim Falls" and it's really good Western chase movie with some original fighting scenes and a handful of what I'd describe as far-out (read: surreal) scenes towards its ending. Interesting movie, to say the least

[maxpayne2409]

i'm in the mood for some 80s leave the brain on the shelf entertainment tonight, so i think i might watch Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, mainly coz over the years i've always seen bits of it but never actually managed to catch it all in 1 sitting, so now is the time i guess, unless i watch the last 2 eps of Jericho that i've yet to watch

[MyK]

Watched "Proof (1991)", the one with Hugo Weaving and Russell Crowe in it, as I never watched it before and it was good. To be frank, I don't recall I ever watched any Crowe's movie that was bad... anyway, off to watching "88 Minutes" (that's Pacino's latest). Hope it's any good, fingers crossed

[dinky]

last couple eps of 24</i>. it's weird. it's not bad tv. but on the other hand, it so predictable. nothing that happens is remotely surprising. sigh.

wish heroes would hurry up and come back on.

[MyK]

88 minutes and it wasn't any good at all. Pacino plays a hot shot forensic psycho analyst and a professor of if (giving his field of profession credit like it's an exact science or something... if I had a professor like that at my college I'd most certainly laugh my pants off hehe) and there's a dude on a death row cuz Pacino's character placed him there based on controversial evidence and forensic methods so he receives a phone call from what appears to be a copycat killer that he (the professor) will die in next 88 minutes.... yada yada... some action, some babes, some violence,.... happy ending, even though ppl died in the process of getting there.

Also watched "Hide And Seek" cuz I thought it was an alternate ending but it wasn't and was the same as theatrical release so now I'm a bit confused Does anybody know what's the difference between them?

sounds like when i watched Identity and then the Identity with the alternative ending.... that it didn't have, i'd like to know the differences in Identity

[MyK]

I just happen to have extended cut of Identity if you're thinking of that version? Never watched any other releases so you'll have to tell me what ending you've seen, then I can check with what version I have and let you know if there are any significant differences

[dinky]

I believe there was an alternate ending in the extras of Identity, if you're referring to the john cusack movie that was kind of interesting until it spilled the beans and revealed itself to be really fecking lame.
