I know it bastardized the original story, but the movie was quite good, I thought.

I don't know enough about the original but I am someone who loved the Watchmen comic books and then also really enjoyed the movie not least because Moore hated it so much.

I read up on it on imdb, it was a Natural Born Killers/Willy Wonka sorta thing, where original author disowned the movie.

You forgot: "FIRST"
(at least for you fake-timers). Not midnight here, yet.
I freely confess to enjoying all of the Star Wars movies.
BTW, Happy Dave Brubeck Day to everyone.

She was good in Black Swan. Beyond that it's been mostly overrated crap. I mean, being the best actor/actress in the prequels is not a great accomplishment.

Alan Moore wrote V as well...and, you guessed it, DISAVOWED THE FILM! (cause he hates everything because he is a perverted old man who sucks)
The comic and the film are very different. The comic was about England in the Thatcher era whereas the film is in a more "modern" setting with more of a Dubya theme. Quite a bit of the story is shifted (much like Watchmen) but the essence of the story is still there. I love both for different reasons. (same with Watchmen...though that comic dragged more than V did)
Another similarity between Watchmen and V is that the people who drew/co-authored the stories loved the films which makes Moore look even more like a child. Outside of his ridiculous sycophants Moore is pretty much reviled these days. His work from back in the day is still beloved but he has salted the Earth for years hating on everything and everyone.

The ego that made him an iconoclastic creator also made him an insufferable child. This has happened before and it will happen again.
I'm sure he doesn't care at all, and I think that's good. The world is filled with charming people who will do nothing like me except for the charming part. There's room for a handful of original, creative perpetual infants as long as I don't have to live next to them. It it's a consolation they are usually miserable -- they aren't getting over on anybody.

Re: Bohemian Rap City: Movies Thread
Ah, yeah that's good. Wish I'd seen this before I went to bed.
When my dad was in college, he would go down to the Blue Note in Chicago and see his favorites play. Years later, when I was in high school, he realized that as these guys came through town, it was likely to be his last chance to hear them play live, so he and my ma would cough up what it cost, and take me with. I think it was around 1991 when he took me to see Brubeck at Ravinia Festival, which is like having a nice picnic with amazing musicians playing.
What really makes me laugh about it is that, as a kid, I reckoned, as many boys do, that my dad was the biggest geek on Earth. But he is the only reason that I can say I've seen Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck in concert (not together, obvs). Christ on a cracker, I was a dumb kid! lol (He didn't take me, but it was certainly his influence that caused me to go on my own to see McCoy Tyner, too.)

Yeah maybe it was marginally better than the other two, but it's still nonstop green-screen and crap acting. I mean, any part where anyone is supposed to show any emotion in the prequels comes off like nails on a chalkboard.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
A courtroom frenzy ensues and sweeps 1970s America when a young single mother reluctantly tips the attention of a widespread manhunt toward her longtime boyfriend, Ted Bundy.
A bit stylized, but after seeing the bonus credit scenes...whoa. Very good on not changing many things in dialogue and character looks. Honestly torn on liking it or not. Definitely on the fence on this one. I'll judge in favor of actually watching it, because of the accuracy overall.

Suspiria. A remake.of the 1977 original. I felt this version went a bit too long but also felt it was quite cerebral and captured the true essence of 70's suspense and horror. Quite Rosemary's Baby-esque. Recommend.
Also Natalie Portman > you.
