Glorious IMAX by Screwuhippie	Jul 10th, 2007 09:07:21 PM
On my way to get my geek on in Glorious IMAX at the Midnight Show ... i'm with Capone ... I have no idea what happens next! Blah
Cool. Cant wait. by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 10th, 2007 09:14:05 PM
Dont hold your breathe for too much action in six though, Capone. Looks like sevens where its at.
Wondering how much of a bite this is going to take by CreasyBear	Jul 10th, 2007 09:21:49 PM
out of Transformers. And mainly hoping Bourne Ultimatum salvages this whole underwhelming summer movie season.
I don't know, Tigh by FluffyUnbound	Jul 10th, 2007 09:23:39 PM
I imagine that the battle that leads to Dumbledore's death will probably take 40 minutes of film time.
The Movies Have Nothing On The Books by DarthDooku	Jul 10th, 2007 09:24:53 PM
The books are, by far, the real deal. Capone, I know you enjoy watching the movies, but I seriously recommend reading the sixth book, and then the seventh. The book is so good, and I'm sure the movie (as usual) won't do it complete justice. It's something you most likely will not regret!
Hey Fluffy! by Deeez Nuuuts	Jul 10th, 2007 09:26:49 PM
Thanks for the teensy little spoiler! Shithead.
Is it possibe to get a review on this site with... by Warcraft	Jul 10th, 2007 09:35:31 PM
...some fucking spoiler tags? It would have been nice to know that this idiot was going to drop a bomb like Voldimort Vs Dumbledore before reading.
Snape is HOT by smeagol2	Jul 10th, 2007 09:36:14 PM
This movie is getting so many mixed reviews its not even funny. I guess will have to decide for myself on Friday. I just hope that the certain person who suppose to die in the movie gets a good death and not a wash over bull shit.
Movie 5 sounds a lot like Book 5 by waggy	Jul 10th, 2007 09:45:18 PM
Entertaining while you're in it, but doesn't really stick with you the way the others did. Basically a bridge between part 1 of the story and part 2. I know I'll get lynched for saying this but Azkaban was my least favorite book, but the movie blew me away, so I was hoping for something similar here, but it sounds like it's not to be. Oh well, if movie 6 is half as cool as book 6 was, we're in for a treat next year.
yeah, sorry Capone by Holodigm	Jul 10th, 2007 09:51:06 PM
but if you think this movie had a lot of exposition and set-up...just wait until book six. that sucker is nothing BUT set-up.
Sirius Black is Hot by smeagol2	Jul 10th, 2007 09:54:54 PM
I had my issues with Azkaban the movie but it was better then Chamber of Boredom. Ashok0 is right this summer has been nothing but let down. All the hype but not one movie so far stands out. Especially not one sequel. I still think this movie will make a killing in the first week. Then drop like crazy because everyone, including myself will be off reading book 7.
off topic, so how bout next summer? by waggy	Jul 10th, 2007 10:01:54 PM
Ok, unlike many of you i actually liked Transformers so this summer hasn't been a complete bust for me, but still a pretty big letdown overall considering the sheer volume of big releases. So how are we feelin about summer 08 right now? We've got Dark Knight, Iron Man, Hulk 2: Just Smashin, Indiana Jones, Prince Caspian, Speed Racer.... Bats should be a sure thing, but hopefully the rest will be more winners than losers.
waggy by PirateEmery	Jul 10th, 2007 10:08:25 PM
Yeah, I loved Transformers as well. With Dark Knight and Indy 4, I think next summer's bound to be good.
setup up for the huge battle in book 6.... by soup74	Jul 10th, 2007 10:10:10 PM
yeah capone, i felt the same way after reading book 5, that it was all lead up for the monster battle that would start in book 6. it doesnt. that doesnt mean book 6 isnt one of the best books though.. im gonna go out on a limb and say the big fight will happen in book 7. I know, thats a crazy prediction, but im gonna stick to it.
and about book 5 being a transition book by soup74	Jul 10th, 2007 10:25:14 PM
it does feel a bit like filler at times..which is why im excited for the movie. the book was okay but didnt need to be 4 gazillion pages long. im hoping the movie will streamline it nicely.
one more thing. by soup74	Jul 10th, 2007 10:35:25 PM
i was gonna say you should probably delete the post about dumbledore, but you havent had that spoiled by know, you probably dont use the internet.
Looking forward to OOTP by Veni Vidi Vici	Jul 10th, 2007 10:38:27 PM
like you Capone, I've yet to read a Harry Potter book and the feeling of not knowing what happens in the future movies is always a nice surprise. i avoid any spoilers when the books are released.
Yeah, Capone, read the book. by Pops Freshemeyer	Jul 10th, 2007 10:39:06 PM
And then when you're done you can go read Encyclopedia Brown Strikes Again, Clifford The Big Red Dog, or The Baby-Sitter's Club.
sheesh capone...it's not the second coming by occula	Jul 10th, 2007 10:40:36 PM
i realize everybody here, me included, is a self-appointed officer on the grammar police squad, but i'm going one step further and recommending syntax therapy. by describing what are essentially fun, well-executed fantasy films as though you were talking about a lost kurosawa film, you're setting a precedent for disappointment, man. ease up just a little and we'll get a much better sense of the actual quality of the film. i would never describe the books - although i enjoy them thoroughly and think they're very competently written - in the same tone i'd describe something by updike or pynchon. ok enough snob talk, you know i'm still gonna see the 10 am showing on friday.
pops by occula	Jul 10th, 2007 10:42:26 PM
jesus cristos i can't believe you pulled 'encycopedia brown' out of your ass. awesome! flailing in the wake of a third-grade flashback
i meant by occula	Jul 10th, 2007 10:49:23 PM
wednesday 10 am. my friday 10 am is of course reserved for 'captivity.' snork
Will Harry and Moriarty give their Die Hard 4 analysis by BDuncan	Jul 10th, 2007 11:05:48 PM
I know the new Die Hard film isn't that great, but is there any chance Harry and Moriarty can give their analysis on it and say what they liked / disliked about it and / or what it should've done a lot better about it, as I don't think their reviews for it have been posted yet.
Why does everyone escape from Azkaban? by BringingSexyBack	Jul 10th, 2007 11:12:30 PM
This is like the 90th time someone escaped from that friking place.
Dumbledore doesn't really die does he? by BringingSexyBack	Jul 10th, 2007 11:14:41 PM
I mean, this is the Order of the PHOENIX after all. WTF I just can't wait to see this movie. Like Capone, I haven't read any of the books, I like going in and just getting a new experience each time.
BringingSexyBack by PirateEmery	Jul 10th, 2007 11:22:17 PM
If you don't plan on reading the books, Dumbledore doesn't die. This is all a lie put on by people that try to take advantage of the movie-people.
First Look - SLEUTH remake trailer! by Riley Martin	Jul 10th, 2007 11:53:35 PM

damn.
"Phenomenal series"? by LoneGun	Jul 10th, 2007 11:58:24 PM
I suspect this film series can only be fully appreciated if you've read the books. I haven't read the books and I've found every single one of these Harry Potter movies painfully boring and hard to follow. I can't tell one Potter film from the next. I do like the cast, though, and there are always some delightful effects. But when I see a Potter movie, I usually forget about it by the time I reach the exit door. The movies do not make me want to read the books.
NAT TENA AS TONKS IS THE SEX by DOGSOUP	Jul 11th, 2007 12:09:36 AM
All 2 minutes of her. I still wanted to see Malfoy with newfound authority dismiss them snidely by saying "Potty. Weasel King."
phoenixmagi by PirateEmery	Jul 11th, 2007 12:25:24 AM
Which makes the next week and a half unbearable: I want it now, dammit.
phoenixmagi by PirateEmery	Jul 11th, 2007 01:05:58 AM
There was one spoiler that was posted, but I'm hearing massive reports that it was a fake.
Sleuth - Another Classic Turned Into Crap Remake by Rebeck3	Jul 11th, 2007 02:38:14 AM
I just watched the trailer. It looks fucking terrible. You can't beat the original, but I at least thought it would look a little more interesting than that. Why? Why the fuck are they raping MY childhood now? Oh and stay tuned for an unfunny "Heartbreak Kid" that completely misses the point. Sigh-motherfucking-sigh.
mostly right by jmikal	Jul 11th, 2007 03:03:24 AM
David yates got order of the phoenix mostly right as opposed to mike newell who got goblet of fire mostly wrong. i would have preferred a more intensive end and a longer talk with dumbledore as it is so important to what is going to happen but overall the movie was good. second only to prizoner of azkaban.
just saw the midnight screening by soup74	Jul 11th, 2007 03:11:15 AM
saw the midnight showing in barrington, IL.. packed house, 8 screens.. during the last reel..right during the climax, the film actually burned. like melted in front of all of us.. unbelievable that shit actually happens. it didnt seem real when it was happening. i expected gremlin shadows to pop up. the weirdest thing was that it didnt only happen on our screen it happened on the one next to us too. i think they were running them from the same filmstock.. but then then i dont know shit about projectors, so im just talking out of my ass... after 15 minutes they got it back running, but it was hard to get your head right back into the climax. fucking bullshit that could happen in 2007. guess digital projection is the way to go.
"Holy crap" - C'mon Capone... by Charlie & Tex	Jul 11th, 2007 03:18:00 AM
...that childish phrase only emerged because you can't say "shit" on US network television.
"phenomenal series"? by Midnightxpress	Jul 11th, 2007 05:21:43 AM
oh come on, these are summer product movies with some good points and some very bad points (lazy acting being the numero uno), they are not anything close to phenomenal. Jeez geek standards have dropped so much in recent years
more exposition than most younger viewers will " by smackfu	Jul 11th, 2007 07:49:30 AM
probably be able to fully grasp." I'm going to have to take great issue with this statement. When I was 8-9 years old, our cable provider would have a 'free weekend' of their pay movie channels once every couple of months, and I lived for these weekends. I would set the VCR and record everything I could, and then watch those movies over and over again. And you know what movies were on those tapes? To name a few, Enemy Mine (one of my absolute favorites when I was a kid), Terminator, Mask, Back to the Future, Wrath of Kahn, Indiana Jones 1 & 2, Splash, All of Me, Nightmare on Elm Street, Wargames, First Blood, Poltergeist, Bladerunner, not to mention the Star Wars trilogy PLUS one of the hallmarks of my TV childhood was being allowed to stay up to watch the V miniseries when it came on. I had no problem whatsoever 'getting' these movies or following their exposition. More to the point, when I watch Harry Potter movies, I am constantly thinking 'if I was watching this as the 9 year old I was back in the 80s, I would feel like I'm being talked down to'. Kids aren't as dumb as we like to think they are, just think back to your own childhood film experiences and you'll realize this.
Spielberg wanted to animate it as well! by James_O'Nasty	Jul 11th, 2007 02:53:41 PM
Tonks makes me do a sex wee! Also, send Bellatrix to the dentist and she is hot as well!
