The only movie worse than Forest Gump is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

The book is pretty awesome. Don't know why they decided to fuck up the movie with confusing mumbo jumbo. And bad acting/writing. The visuals are good though.

On a side note, there were three military commercials before the movie trailers started. Marines, national guard, and navy; the national guard ad was like three minutes long, and the navy ad was in 3D

The funny thing is that each commercial showed soldiers fighting in jungle terrain, none in desert/urban terrain lol

I haven't seen the original trilogy, and from the prequel trilogy I've only seen TPM, how sad is that? 

Well (holds up flame shield) you've seen the best of the prequel trilogy, imo.

The original trilogy is worth a look. I maintain that A New Hope is the best of the original series in terms of being a good movie by itself. Empire is really tight, and I'm not a huge fan of Return because the Ewoks are stupid.

I just find it funny when people react so strongly to Jar Jar Binks when George Lucas let on that he was a complete idiot way before the prequel trilogy. At least Episode 1 had excellent music and Liam Neeson.

True, but Episode 2 is probably the worst film ever made. Episode 3 is just as terrible. My friend and I tried watching it just to laugh and it got so depressing a quarter through it we just turned it off.

I don't understand how you can go from something like Empire to the prequel trilogy. What the fuck happened.

I've never seen Star Trek, Star Wars, or Avatar.

Since Powerslave mentioned that he cared about my updates as to whether I want to see Avatar or not, I will fill the rest of you in about my thoughts and feelings as I don't try to watch the movie to the best of my ability.  My local theater is only going to show it for a couple of more weeks so time is running out!  I still don't want to watch it.

On this forum, GS says that Avatar is in the same league as Up in the Air, Precious, An Education, etc and gets slammed for the next two months.

PD says that Avatar is better than Unforgiven and Blade Runner and no one cares.

Anyway, I watched Avatar again today, this time without the benefit of 3D and a big screen. I downloaded the dvd screener that just made its way to the internet. As I suspected, it doesn't hold up as well on a laptop. Definitely Blu-Ray or bust when it finally gets to home release.

Wendy Carlos also did Clockwork Orange, and very few, if any, scores are so perfectly fit for the movie they are in.

As much as I like the Blade Runner soundtrack, I can separate the movie from it.

I just don't think I could do that. For me, it would be like Blade Runner without the amazing shots of the city, in that, yeah, you still have the movie there, but it's just not the same thing at all. The music just works so well with the mood of the movie and with the look of the movie.
