Why does it growl?

Everything else makes perfect sense...but why does it growl? :confused:

Not just a SyFy film, but a SyFy by ROGER CORMAN? In the words of ATHF's Carl: Awesome. Awesome! FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

Looks funnier than most Will Farrell movies.

And you gotta love Eric Roberts (the mad scientist who creates the beast) cruising on his yacht as the thing terrorizes every body of water imaginable. Gee, I wonder what happens to him? ;)

It can't be cooler than when a shark ate Samuel L. Jackson whole.

Finally hooked up the Wii to stream Netflix movies. The selection isn't the greatest, but it's enough to please the kids and provide the Sat afternoon or late night filler.

The thing I've noticed is it's best to fill out the instant queue from your computer...The Wii might show you season 3 of the Office, for instance, but not seasons 1-2 or 4+ even though they're otherwise available.

Thanks for the heads up.

INCEPTION. IS. AWESOME. Seriously, I loved it. Lots of stuff going on but not as hard to follow as I feared it might be. Great action, great story, great effects, great everything.

Ya...I agree...just got back...very very good movie.

From the review by John Boot:

Just sifting through the layers of fantasy and reality requires a mental workout that may exhilarate you — or might make you simply tune out. Don’t see this movie when you’re less than fully alert. It’s cinematic advanced calculus that makes The Matrix look like first-grade arithmetic.
 
Re: New/Rented Movies: Now In Smell-O-Rama!

I like how almost all of the people commenting on that story say they wont see it because they dont want to see movies that make them think. Sad.

Maybe I'm an advanced calculus student(i'm not), but I didn't find it that difficult to follow. Granted my popcorn was pretty much gone by the time the 18 previews were over, but if you just sit there and watch the movie, its not that difficult. Maybe the time change concept is a little hard to understand, but not terribly.



edit: I also love the people who won't see it because leo and gordan-levitt are democrats...or that God would disapprove

It's OK those people already blew their money on seeing Marmaduke in 3-D.

Inception was outstanding. I'll fight anyone saying they hated it.
 
Re: New/Rented Movies: Now In Smell-O-Rama!

I really liked Inception. Knowing everything that happens, I still want to see it again at some point because I know there were so many visual effects that I missed!

By the way, kudos to Nolan for actually creating something we rarely see today: a stunning PG-13 movie.

I thought the rating was basically dead!

Pssst: The Prestige and The Dark Knight were also PG-13 (of course, directed by Nolan).

And I thought that the 3rd Star Wars movie (of the new set) was stunning, and that was somehow PG-13 (given the lava battle scene with Anakin, I thought that deserved an R using the MPAA's ratings guidelines).

Comic Book movies (i.e. Marvel) can almost always get a PG-13 rating depending on the level of violence.

Ah. Not being a comic book guy (in general, not the poster :p ) I did not know that.

I think the PG-13 rating is more of a death sentence nowadays. It's like:

1. Go R, lose some family audiences, but have a great movie.
2. Go PG, gain a ton of family audiences, but have a great movie.
3. Go PG-13, and have all audiences say to themselves, "Well, I wish they would have either gone full-blown and got an R, or dialed way back and got a PG." And have a crappy movie.

I'll join you. Easily the best movie of the year. I would not be surprised to see it in some top 10 of the decade (2010-2019) lists...probably Ebert's...who I actually respect as a critic...unlike that dude Rimbaud linked too. What a tool.

Agree with Terrierbyassociation too. I will definetly be buying the DVD and watching it again to try and see any little things I missed. May even see it again in the theaters in a few weeks. Try to hit a show that will likley be empty so I can really focus on it.
 
Re: New/Rented Movies: Now In Smell-O-Rama!

Has Kepler chimed in to tell us that Inception is horrible? :D

Armond White is a treasure. He's mastered the ability to troll the Internet on his own. Good for him.

As for Kepler, I'm anticipating him pooh-poohing this movie just to be different.

First time reading something by him (White), and I get the same impression.
 
Re: New/Rented Movies: Now In Smell-O-Rama!

So I finally saw 2012. I thought I wouldn't like the movie. I actually thought it was a pretty decent action movie.
