| 1315332 | 2012-11-29 18:36:00 | I'm struggling to understand why PCTechs quote is about Promethius. Have wires become crossed or am I just too stupid to get it? My quote showed reviews for Billys movie, then - as an example - comments on Prometheus. As it is one of the few I actually watched. Fairly clear - an example of personal taste. Jen - Men Who Stare at Goats - didn't watch it, but I liked the title...LOL. |

| 1315333 | 2012-11-29 19:20:00 | I checked the reviews before we went, and I knew what the broad 'professional viewer' opinions were, so I went with an open mind and I was looking forward to it on that basis. We were actually prepared for something reasonably good, but I don't think a few professional reviewers' opinions are worth much against a sea of muttering discontent as the non-paying audience left. Here's a reviewer that seems to share your opinion www.dailymail.co.uk You should write his name down :D |

| 1315334 | 2012-11-29 20:13:00 | Hate to say it but I hated the first Lord of the Rings film . Wanted to leave after ten minutes . Wont be going to the Hobbit . I'm gussing the name stands B . . . . stands for something ;) The LOTR was a great film and the Hobbit I imagine will be even better . . . Worst movie of all time . . . All horror sequals . . . I mean really . . . Kill the "Bad Guy" but really he's not dead . . . so what makes you think killing him again is going to solve anything! |

| 1315337 | 2012-11-30 05:18:00 | I watched this a few nights ago and must say I concur with Billy's review. I had read the reviews online and new it was not a mainstream flick for everyone. Only good thing about it was I fell asleep half way through. |

| 1315338 | 2012-11-30 22:23:00 | Hate to say it but I hated the first Lord of the Rings film . Wanted to leave after ten minutes . Won't be going to the Hobbit . I can understand that response, because to fully appreciate the LOR series you really have to have read both the Hobbit and LOR at least twice, then it all begins to make sense . You also then can understand what a challenge it was for Jackson try to encapsulate such a huge story into three films . Conversely, having just reread the Hobbit, I reserve judgement on the upcoming Trilogy because I can't yet see how one small book can make three huge films at all, but if it can, to manage to do so without somehow making the LOR trilogy seem like a once-over-lightly skim job . That said, in my opinion any reviewer with gonads bigger than a pimple (not sure of the equivalent for female reviewers, but I'm open to suggestions) will pan Beasts of the Southern Wild mercilessly . As regards Awards etc, being appallingly bad has never stopped a film from winning awards in the past, and this one will probably win a few more too, simply for finding enough gullible financers to stump up the production costs, but I'll bet they all take a cold shower on their 'investment' . Just to make a couple of observations on how far from reality the 'Beasts' film was, they blew up a levee with just a few sticks of dynamite, using a fuse that continued burning under water (every hick in the south has these in their inventory) and they were all in the water just a few metres away when it blew . They were neither deafened by the blast nor disembowelled by the concussive effect through the water, and for some strange reason they were not swept out to sea by the outflowing torrent . In a further mind-warping anomally, they lived in a swamp with no power etc, yet their shacks all had TV antennas (they were all southern religious, so probably God must have provided I guess) . Finally, and to show that I am not biassed in favour of Tolkien's works, he also wrote the Silmarillion which was a prequel to the Hobbit and LOR, obviously intended to flesh out the history and although it runs to less than 450 pages in paperback version, it is the most turgid book I have ever attempted to read, and unless you have the ability to remember a huge number of made-up names for characters and places, you will find yourself hopelessly lost within a few chapters . I have tried repeatedly to read it, but while the LOR grabs and holds me on every reading, the Silmarillion experience is like reading the Bible backwards, and that is equally full of fantasy names and events . (Don't tell Sir PJ, he'll want to make three trilogies and a 5 hour teaser on the old testament alone!) . . . . . . . . . . . . :devil: Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Well, it would be ridiculous to suggest that viewers attempt open heart surgery in a movie theatre, however in my opinion it means that you give up all hope and lose the will to live as the film crushes mercilessly your pitiful hopes and expectations, then you open up an artery (a simple vein will not suffice) and let the life-blood drain out of you so that you don't have to watch the pitiful porcine portrayal when the Boss Hogs surround the star of the show and haven't got the stomach to eat her. Personally I think the hogs took pity on her after seeing the dancing with whores scene in the mid ocean Bar & Brothel. I reckon it was called the Cork and Cat House, but if it wasn't, it ought to have been. Of course that is just my opinion, others may think a strong rope and a short sharp drop would be preferable, and not quite so messy, provided you don incontinence knickers before you take the leap.
