best buy gave me 5 free hd dvd's (choices above :yuck ) and heroes season 1 on hd dvd.

you could easily take all 6 to wal mart or something and get some hd dvd's you really want.

Here are my picks

1 - Whatever, shut my eyes point at one and flip on ebay
2 - The Thing (first DVD I ever bought)
3 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for ebay flippage (I'm getting FMJ Deluxe Ed tomorrow, fingers crossed that it's remastered)
4 - The Frighteners (R. Lee Ermey  :-*)
5 - Troy is the only not completely horrible movie in this section, so that

I haven't seen any of these rofl. With that in mind:

The Italian Job
The Thing
Full Metal Jacket
Troy

AND YOU NEED TO GET U2: RATTLE AND HUM BECAUSE THAT IS THE BEST ALBUM EVAR.

Pool #1
Aeon Flux
Babel
The Italian Job

Pool #2
The Hulk
Pitch Black
The Thing

Pool #3
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Swordfish
Full Metal Jacket

Pool #4?
Firewall
The Frighteners
U2: Rattle and Hum

Pool #5
Black Rain
Darkman
Troy
Pool 1: I haven't seen Aeon Flux but I heard it was bad.  Babel is garbage.  I'd say Italian Job.

Pool 2: Pitch Black is kind of meh but it's better than Chronicles of Riddick if you liked that.  I haven't seen The Thing (never knew about it) so I don't know about that.  I actually kind of liked The Hulk.

Pool 3: I assume Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the remake one so don't support hollywood cash-ins, if it's not a remake then it'll be old and probably not worth HD quality.  Swordfish is pretty crap BUT Halle Berry titties.  You said you wanted FMJ so that makes sense.

Pool 4: Don't know about any of these.

Pool 5: Troy is just a bunch of sweaty men wearing loin cloths.  Never saw Darkman.  I liked Black Rain but it is not a great movie.

whoever recommended Babel needs to have someone defecate on their shoulder blades. One of the worst films ever devised: its ugly, pretentious, exploitative and has no artistic merit whatsoever. Absolutely no-one should view it, ever.

Get italian Job as it has Mark Wahlberg.
The Thing
Full Metal Jacket but I'd get Swordfish as John Travolta is so fucken funny. The movie is terrible, but John Travolta :bow I dont care for some actress bitche's titties. Free titties are on thar intarnetz
The Frighteners is good
Black Rain is good too (if its the one with Michael Douglas Im thinking of?)

but overall this is one homo selection

Post by: Ichirou on October 23, 2007, 01:13:06 AM
You could defecate on my shoulder blades, babe.

Get Babel, Moops.  It has a naked asian chick, and unlike Synbios, you won't need your dad's help to masturbate to her.

lol. I forgot about the nude scene, okay I did get a semi-hard on. But my comment still stands
Title: Re: Help me pick my five free hd dvd's...
Post by: Ichirou on October 23, 2007, 01:17:02 AM
It's better than anything on that list.  I'd be embarassed to own a POS like The Italian Job.  There's so many better heist movies than that one, and I hate Marky Mark.  The only good thing it has going for it are the Mini Coopers.
Title: Re: Help me pick my five free hd dvd's...
Post by: Phoenix Dark on October 23, 2007, 01:17:29 AM
Uh the nudity in Babel was cringe worthy. Especially the full frontal stuff towards the end  :-\

Title: Re: Help me pick my five free hd dvd's...
Post by: brawndolicious on October 23, 2007, 01:23:49 AM
the nudity was bad and the movie's premise and dialog were horrible.  it was basically crash with pubic hair.

there's no reason to get it in HD anyways.  mupepe, I doubt you'd like the movie but even if it was something you'd be willing to watch over and over again, which it'd have to be if you're getting it on a disk, then just download it and see what it's about.
Title: Re: Help me pick my five free hd dvd's...
Post by: Ichirou on October 23, 2007, 01:26:02 AM
Uhmmmm.  It was directed by a Mexican, and it had Mexicans in it.  And they were all employed legally.

THAT'S ALL THE REASON MUPEPE NEEDS.

the original hd release of full metal jacket was deinterlaced from a 1080i master and has some image problems -- they've actually just released a new 'deluxe edition.' it's probably the best movie on that list, but skip it anyway

edit: oh too late i guess
