Thanks mate, It sorta came out of nowhere, since I only heard about it on thursday, so
In reply to this comment by Deano:
So sorry to hear that mate.

I would make a terrible movie critic, I actually liked a lot of "Bad" movies this year, The last airbender included.

Maybe it's because I know nothing about the lore behind the Manga, but I found it mind-numbingly enjoyable.

However, I think the most fun I had was going into the movie knowing it was Shamalamalamalan and knowing his style. I actually couldn't contain myself and even said (in the robot chicken voice) "What a twist!" at the end.

Good laughs were had by all.

I guess I really didn't see any "bad" movies this year.


Good:
Harry Potter
Toy Story 3

and as before mentioned: Scott Pilgrim vs the world. I never -NEVER- would have expected my favourite movie slot to be taken by a Michael Cera movie, but it quite honestly is a movie for nerds.

I have a lifetime pass to the local arthouse movie theater that I paid $1500 for twelve years ago. They just offered the deal again, sweetened with popcorn for life -- for a mere $5,000.

Best return on an investment EVER. Beats my IRA all to heck.

My faves:

1 - The Fighter
2 - Tangled (a lyric that rhymed boozes with a sore that oozes... gotta love it!)
3 - Social Network
4 - Can't wait to see The King's Speech. Great trailer, hopefully the movie will measure up
5 - Exit Through the Gift Shop -- Banksy doing what Banksy does, in a new medium
6 - Toy Story 3. I cried three times, at least. And it is Quentin Tarentino's number one pick. Who would have thought it.
7 - Date Night

I'm having trouble coming up with three more that I loved. I can't think that clearly.

The worst? The first scene in Burlesque. The absolute worst acting and worst writing. Luckily, it was less bad for the rest of the movie.

This was definitely a year of shit movies. Here's my list, although there are quite a few critically acclaimed movies that I've yet to see.

Good
-True Grit
-Social Network
-Kick Ass
-Get Low
-Inception
-Toy Story
-Yeardly

Bad
-Harry Potter 7.0
-Grown Ups
-Tron 2
-Nightmare on Elm Street
-Scott Pilgrim

Ugly
-Last Airbender
-Alice in Wonderland
-Burlesque

Inception and Kick Ass were the only ones I saw in the theater last year, I think. Kick Ass was pretty cool, but Inception('s fans) kinda annoyed me. I later saw Toy Story 3 on a plane, and I guess it was okay.

Edit: Oh, and I saw Scott Pilgrim at a NYE party. That was okay, too.

I can't even believe that Toy Story happened in 1995...I wasn't even on the internet then.


I was, but text mode only. I was on a lot of local bulletin board systems/BBS'.

Westy commented out of character so I had to downvote.


He's been doing that lately, must be the 12 step program is working... ?
Cool vid, btw... Wish I had seen this when it was at DCA.

IRL it doesn't flash like that. The strobing occurs because the strobe lights and the camera are out of sync. This is what it looks like IRL:

Almost dupe btw

My hat is off to the badass engineering that went into this as well.


not really that bad ass if you compare it to what goes into modern software.

besides this was probably made by Chinese slave children they have to knock out one of these every 40 minutes or they don't get to eat.

its a nice effect though don't think the video would really capture the essence of this its a shame they incased it in glass " mommy look its buzz light year im going to pick him up " , " no timmy noooooooooooooo" ( kids arm is torn and flung across room)

Oh god..

I think..

Out of all that..

I think I heard the 3-eyed aliens from Toy Story in the background at 0:07
