The "I Just Watched..." Thread

Watched Starship Troopers last night with some friends, I love how that movie doesn't take itself seriously for even one minute.

Also, special effects hold up really well. I wish more movies would take the time to do some good model work like what they did with the spaceships in that movie.

Starship Troopers is classic. Love that flick. The Phil Tippet model work and FX are always a treat.

Some of ILMs' best work is in that movie.

The Mist - Fucking Fantastic. Impressions in the official thread.

I just finished watching seasons 1-3 of The Office. What a funny fucking show. It's suprisingly poignant at times too. Jim is hot.

I also watched Devilman anime, which had a hilariously bad dub. It was full of random Canadian people cursing and mispronoucing words. The anime itself was pretty cool though. I also had the misfortune of seeing some Dragonlance cartoon, Dragons of Autumn Twilight. It was a horrible mix of 2D and 3D, like that old Mortal Kombat cartoon. It sucked really bad in spite of having Kiefer Sutherland providing the voice of one of the characters.

Disturbia

I liked it. Shia LeBleouf (or whatever) is one of my favorite young actors right now. He plays things the same way in every movie I have seen him in, but hes entertaining. I would say they did about the best job adapting "Rear Window" for the modern day teenager as anyone could hope to do. They cut out a lot of the suspense, there is a lot less dodging bullets with the neighbors leaving/arriving while the kids try and muck about. But its still entertaining.

The Mist - Fucking Fantastic. Impressions in the official thread.

Just watched that two days ago and I whole heartedly agree with you. That movie seemed to slip under the radar, but I really enjoyed it. I'm probably going to watch the B&W version on disc 2 tonight.

They made a black and white version?

I never saw the movie Waiting until last night. I thought it was really funny.

Waiting was great if only for bringing the bat wing to my attention. It's a good trick.

It's an "extra" on the second disc. According to the intro from the director, he wanted to originally film it in black and white, but the studio wouldn't let him.
