The Island

[Lostaboutlost]

OK I just saw it and thought it was really good. What do you guys think?

[SpidermanHouston]

I think I will wait for the DVD.

[Lostaboutlost]

Well, fine, be like that!

[SpidermanHouston]

I hear it's good but movie theaters have become very expensive. Especially when you are paying for two people. So I just can't see every movie at the theater. Last week when i went, it was $17 for the 2 tickets and then another $20 for the food. Im not cheap but too many movies add up quickly.

[Lostaboutlost]

Yah, I completely agree with you there. I get student discount, which helps some, and there's a Dollar Tree right next to our theater so we usually go there to buy candy and then sneak the food in :) .

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Yeah, I don't go to the movies often anymore, but even if I did, that just doesn't seem like one I'd pay all that money to see.

[DohBoy]

Is this a Movie Theater bashing thread, now? Cuz I have a few things to say:

$10.00 and I have to wait in line and watch commercials for an hour for decent seats?

That's why I like the Arclight in Hollywood - $11.00 and you get assigned seating. No lines, no stupid commercials, and a polite usher always introduces the movie.

That being said, I'll give The Island two hooks up for having the second-best looking couple this year, after Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Scarlett Johansen in hot, and Ewan makes me wish I was a charming Scot. On the other hand, Angelina Jolie is absolutely luscious, and Brad Pitt is, and I ain't ashamed to say, a beautiful man.

Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman come in third.

[SpidermanHouston]

I will take the Invisible Woman over all those girls.

[Brian]

I'll give The Island two hooks up...
:rollin That, was funny! :rollin Geez, I gotta get some sleep! Thanks DohBoy! :rollin

[Lostaboutlost]

I only have to pay $6.50 for my ticket (well, that's w/ student discount, normal is $8.50).

I think Hayden and Natalie get 1st (God he is hot!)
Then Brad and Angelina.
And finally Ewan and Scarlett. Ewan just seems a little too old for me but, man, he has some beautiful eyes!

[DohBoy]

I think Hayden and Natalie get 1st (God he is hot!)They would be ranked higher on my list, but seriously, the pregnant-chick factor and the ... um ... burnt-to-a-crisp factor knocked them down a couple of knotches.

:rollin That, was funny! :rollin
Y'AARRR! Be ye laughin at me hooks? Just two words of caution, matey: keep yer hands inside the bus, and keep yer hands outside of the garbage disposal. An' don't be mixin' the two up. Y'ar. :D

[Lostaboutlost]

They would be ranked higher on my list, but seriously, the pregnant-chick factor and the ... um ... burnt-to-a-crisp factor knocked them down a couple of knotches.

Good point.

[SpidermanHouston]

I guess no one else watched the Island. That explains why it bombed.

[Lostaboutlost]

Dang I guess your right. Like I said, I thought it was pretty good. Ah well.

[CncksGirl]

I really wanted to see The Island but it was my boyfriend's turn to pick so we saw Wedding Crashers last night instead. I was pleasantly surprised. It was super funny without being super stupid. And Owen Wilson is quite yummy! :D

[feigenbaum]

I want to go to see it.But there are plenty of other films I want to see more-SERENITY!!!!

[CncksGirl]

Only 57 Days :D

[Lostaboutlost]

Oh yah lots of people I know have seen Wedding Crashers (well, lots of people my parents know...) and really liked it, too. I was also a little suprised.

[DohBoy]

... And Owen Wilson is quite yummy!
And Owen Wilson ... is ... what?!? Yummy?!? Have you seen that man's nose? Aw, I'm just kidding. ;)

[CncksGirl]

And Owen Wilson ... is ... what?!? Yummy?!? Have you seen that man's nose? Aw, I'm just kidding.

:lol Yummy... that's what I said and I'm sticking to it. He does have quite the nose but I think it adds to his charm. A little bit of extra character.

[Brian]

FB,
SERENITY!!!!
I gotta agree with you on that! The trailer (http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/serenity/) has me hooked! I can't wait for this one! :)

[feigenbaum]

The trailer!.........the trailer!.......I love the trailer!(a lot)

Did you watch Firefly?

[Lostaboutlost]

Dang my computer won't let me watch the trailer. >:

What's it about?

[CncksGirl]

Check out www.serenitymovie.com (http://www.serenitymovie.com)
They've got a new trailer up too. Although I haven't seen either of them in the theater yet... and only 56 days left

[feigenbaum]

Its a continuaton of the series "Firefly"(which is on my top 5 tv shows ever).

Has no one watched Firefly?

[CncksGirl]

I did feigenbaum. I'm a HUGE Joss Whedon fan!

[Lostaboutlost]

Oh thanks Cncksgirl! Yes, it does look very good. I think I might have seen it before, but I'm not sure. Reminds me of Star Wars...

I've never heard of Firefly. Sorry. :(

[feigenbaum]

Way hey! CncksGirl,I now get what you meant before about 57 days,but i think its going to be longer before i see it.

[CncksGirl]

No problem :)

It's not really much like Star Wars... other than it takes place in space in the future. I guess some might say it's kind of like Star Wars meet the Wild West... only better :D

[CncksGirl]

Way hey! CncksGirl,I now get what you meant before about 57 days,but i think its going to be longer before i see it.

Too bad for you ;)

I probably won't see on opening night either, but I am looking forward to it! The show never got the credit it deserved when it was on TV. Trust Fox to treat a decent show like crap :rolleyes

[Lostaboutlost]

Yeah, I agree, it just made me think of Hans Solo when he agreed to take Luke and Obi- Wan. A bit of a life-changing decision in disguise!

[feigenbaum]

Yeah it is awful that 2 out of 3 of Joss's shows were ended before they should have.

[Brian]

FB,
Did you watch Firefly?
No, but I do know that this movie is based on it. If the movie turns out as well as I think it will, I'll have to go back and watch the series. Looks really, really interesting.

[feigenbaum]

Cool.Well now that im assured everyone knows what Firefly is/was/will be I'm going,
see y'all another time!(most likely tommorow as I have nothing to do)

[Lostaboutlost]

:lol Ok, well goodnight!

[DohBoy]

It's not really much like Star Wars... other than it takes place in space in the future.
Well, technically, Star Wars takes place in the past.

But I'm totally looking forward to Serenity! I missed Firefly because of it's weird time slot or because I couldn't invest in any new TV shows at the time or something like that. But that Joss Whedon is a genius. Imagine if he teamed up with J.J. Abrams - they could rule the world!

[CncksGirl]

Well, technically, Star Wars takes place in the past.

Small details :lol

But that Joss Whedon is a genius. Imagine if he teamed up with J.J. Abrams - they could rule the world!

And wouldn't that be a wonderful world to live in!

[feigenbaum]

Well, technically, Star Wars takes place in the past.

How's that?

[SpidermanHouston]

How's that?
They tell you at the beginning of each star wars film: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."

[Lostaboutlost]

Hey has anybody heard of the movie Smile? Because, thanks to my dad's job, I get to watch it early, but I haven't heard of it, I'm not sure if it's just ... but anyway I'd liek toknow how big it is. Here's the link to it's website- www.smilethemovie.com (http://www.smilethemovie.com)

[feigenbaum]

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."

Oh right I didn't know.

[Prof_Frink]

I'll rent this on DVD - but I don't have high expectations - does Scarlet get naked?
