This mystery individual has been a NORN IN MY SIDE FOR TOO LONG

norn is a friend of sei's I know they are two separate people because of guild wars

unless sei/norn is capable of playing an interrupt ranger and a healing monk competently at the same time, which I wouldn't put it past him/them

Bought the Flash live action series a week back. Just now watching it.
Doofy costume aside, this is a good show. Awfully dark though.

If I could figure out how to stream shows, I would certainly show at least the pilot. It was more like a short movie than a TV show.

God damn Blockbuster going out of business sale.

I bought six movies this week, all on Blu-Ray, and the most I paid for any of them was $12. Between those, the things I've torrented, and the games I bought, I'm gonna' have a massive summer backlog.

Hey, at least you'll have plenty of free time to watch them!

GUYS
GUYS
YOU GUYS

In the Blu-Ray version of The Nightmare Before Christmas (but not in the DVD special edition released at the same time), they edited the strings off of the bats in the opening. They removed the one thing that always bugged me (except for how much credit Burton gets for this film despite how little he actually put into it, but I digress).

Also, Tim Burton's Blu-Ray-exclusive intro, a major feature advertised on the box, is all of four or five seconds long.

oh right so movies I watched Memento is a good movie if anyone tells you otherwise do not believe their lies and How To Train Your Dragon is still so good that it almost makes up for the rest of Dreamworks' insufferable output.

The first Shrek was pretty great. It's just that the sequels are so bad that it's really easy to forget that.

Like The Land Before Time.

How To Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda were mystifyingly good. Not that they were particularly amazing, just that they were good stories well-told and that is not what I have come to expect from Dreamworks.

Also whatever cyclopean sorcery they wrought to make a movie with Jack Black as the lead and not have it be terrible, it worked. Which is bizarre. Because while Jack Black is awesome, for some reason every time he does something long-form it blows.

That's cool. Did they do anything about the other thing that bugged me; that is, how you can clearly see a square around the moon in at least a few shots?

I bought the DVD version when it first came out almost a decade ago, but about a year later lost it while visiting out-of-town friends. I figured I should just one day replace it with the Blu-Ray version, but I was worried that stuff like the bat strings would only be more noticeable in HD.

Dreamworks animation was actually really good when they weren't doing CG all those years ago. What I've seen of the cel-animated Dreamworks fare is just as well-produced as anything Disney ever did.

No seriously. Is Gran Turino a comedy?

Thad · « **Reply #697 on:** June 11, 2011, 09:41:20 PM »

The first half is.

Okay guys, so as mentioned elsewhere: I just got a whole bunch of movies for free, most of which I've never seen. Here's the list:

The Incredible Hulk
The Matrix Reloaded
Roger & Me
The second season of Chapelle's Show
Moulin Rouge
Hero
Walk Hard
Most of the first season of Six Feet Under
Fearless
Alien vs. Predator
Ocean's Eleven
Gran Torino (only one on Blu-Ray)
Most of the first season of Heroes
Most of Band Of Brothers
The first Season of Curb Your Enthusiasm
The first season of Da Ali G Show
Sleeping Beauty (this is the fourth copy of this I've owned; I now have two DVDs plus a Blu-Ray copy)

Nothing that I really wanted to see (and some that are undoubtedly terrible), but hey, free stuff. So, IN WHAT ORDER SHOULD I TACKLE THEM?

Ocksi · « **Reply #699 on:** June 12, 2011, 03:03:51 PM »

Depending on mood, Walk Hard first. It's pretty amazing.
