Welcome to Gaia! ::

Then you have a better memory than me. While I generally remember that convo, I don't remember anyone mentioning the Elites being more resistant to the RROD. I remembered that from review on the Halo Editions I saw.

And no I wasn't rubbing your nose in anything. It sucks having your console broken no matter what it is.

You know I've heard stuff about Avatar, everyone in my family raves about how awesome of a movie it was. That is all except my brother who bashed everyone for going to see it. I'm still ify on watching the dang thing and might just watch it when it comes out on DVD. Knowing my parents, they'll be renting it as they rent almost everything just because. From some opinions it sounds like a roller coaster gone wrong. One of those that you have to lean against the toilet as if you drank all night and your stomach is rebelling in the worst possible of ways.

Jennifer's Body, Well I was interested in it the first Trailer and as more and more of the movie was shown in each trailer they had I lost interest. The Megan Fox hype seems to have gone dead with that. I enjoyed her character in Transformers, but that seems about it for me so far. Fox's role seems a bit too corny for me in Jennifer's Body. "I like girls too," made me roll my eyes.

I used to be a big movie person, now my collection has turned into a kiddie movie collection. I'm hip with the new Tinker Bell releases. rofl

There is one movie I believe that I would snap up when I find it in a store.

If Only

There is so many others that I would love to pick up, most of them the ones people mention. Eh, but somehow only being able to watch them at certain times I figure i can wait until the mood strikes me and I find it somewhere out of the blue.

I enjoyed it. Didn't really like the ending but I enjoyed the underlying point of the movie greatly

Avatar's a cute gimmick. Easily the most overrated film of the year, which is no small task in the year that also gave us District 9. (Which I also did not much care for. Didn't dislike it, just didn't think it was anything special.) From a purely technical standpoint, it's a great movie. The visual effects were outstanding, the 3D integrates better than anything else I've seen, it was well directed and, hell, even the sound editing was top notch. That said, the storyline blew. It used every cliche in the book from "humans are the bad guys" to "nature is good." The characters, with the possible exception of Sigorney Weaver's, were all flat stereotypes. (Especially that army general. Jesus Christ.) The performances were nothing special. Worthington's voice-over wore thin after the first 2 hours. And, my god, if it wasn't the most predictable thing I've seen in my life.

I need to look into Jennifer's Body, because, despite all the negative things I've heard, I do want to like it. I love slasher flicks, I loved Juno and I'd love to believe Jason Reitman wouldn't get himself mixed up in a movie as bad as everyone's saying.

And, because it's been quite a bit since I've raved about it, SEE LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. Do it before Matt Reeves finishes that American remake, because it probably won't be anywhere as good.

I believe I may have misunderstood which movie you were talking about earlier, Piper. sweatdrop

If Only?

Ah alrighty. Scratch my earlier post then. LOL It's my opinion of If Only not Avatar.

I'll reply later more when I have time.

I thought Jude Law pulled off Watson far better than I expected, too. What would you have thought 4 years ago if someone told you Watson could be SEXY?

Has James Cameron done shitty work? Yes. Is he a hack? No. Terminator 2 and Aliens weren't the work of a hack.
