Title: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Esnel Pla on August 25, 2005, 02:09:17 AM
See Red Eye! The latest in formulaic and predictable thrillers!

Really now, Wes Craven... I liked you better when you were ripping off Ingmar Bergman... :(

I heard it was great except for the last 1/3 of the flick. (sigh)

Wes is just slipping. I mean, seriously... Cursed?

I ignored your warning and saw that movie.  It was worse than you described.  It wasn't even laugh-worthy.

Jeez, if you're gonna purposefully watch a bad movie, I have better ones for you to go see. Ones you can properlu mock.

Get a group of friends together for Silver Bullet. That movie was a rollicking good time.

super mario brothers the movie- the best example of how not to make a movie, after watching this you will want to go back and prevent mario from ever existing  :evar

Super Mario Bros wasn't really that bad of a movie.  It wasn't the best directed film, but it had a lot of good points (good actors, decent script, visual theme).  The biggest problem with the movie was that it was loosely tied to Super Mario Bros.  Had they cut out the direct SMB elements, cleaned up the script a little and made the tone just a little more consistent, this would have been a cult-sci fi classic without question.

Coulda been indeed.

And damn right, The Buse rocks in Silver Bullet.

Super Mario Bros the movie just scared me, Red Eye the commercial did not look interesting to me and Silver Bullet made me fall asleep, but Wes Craven's They was alright. I like the scenes where the monsters just jumped out out of no where and the ending was better than most scary movies.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on August 29, 2005, 12:35:38 AM
You have to watch Silver Bullet with friends. Tis the best way. It's a mockable movie.

I still say one of the best scary movies was the original Candyman.

That Mario movie is the source of information on the Mario Bros. last name: Mario.
Luigi Mario and Mario Mario? What the hell were they thinking? Just to say that for some cheap "Mario brothers" joke?

And what's with the set from Total Recall? I was half expecting Luigi and Mario's eyes to pop out of their heads when they crashed outside of the city. Not to mention the also cheap "I play video games all day" joke seconds before said crash.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on August 29, 2005, 12:51:23 AM
hehe yeah.

Of all the game to movie adaptations, I prefered Resident Evil the best. Not really related to any game in particular, but it had that zombie huntin vibe goin.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Xuzaf D on August 29, 2005, 01:04:36 AM
Resident Evil is "_____ of the dead" meets Cammy White.
::kicks dog in head::
Spiral Arrow!

The only video game based movie I didn't hate was Mortal Kombat, but I was nine or ten at the time. No telling what I'd think now. So yeah... they all suck and that's why we will never see Joust the movie.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on August 29, 2005, 02:06:52 AM
Mortal Kombat was okay, Resident Evil was good, and The Orig. Candyman was scary. I only watched it once though and it was on sci-fi so it prolly cut out some things.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?

Avoid the Candyman sequels. They blow goats.

I did enjoy the first MK movie, but the sequel was horrifically bad. Scary enough, they're making a third MK.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on August 29, 2005, 02:51:51 PM
Too late I saw the sequels to Candyman and I laughed because it was stupid. And MK2 was just cheesy and had bad acting.

Did you guys forget House on Haunted Hill (2000 remake) not the forties version.

That movie still scares me. Also "IT' that clown with the eyes.


*runs to the crner and starts crying*
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on August 29, 2005, 03:55:14 PM
House on Haunted Hill was great until the last 15 minutes, when the ghost finalyl appears... and god did that movie fall aprt then. The ghost was so not scary.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on August 30, 2005, 12:12:58 AM
Yeah it was okay, same with "IT" it was pretty much alright for a scary movie until the end....gotta love a clown-spider that looks totally fake. There were freaking puppet strings or something showing.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on August 30, 2005, 12:57:17 AM
There'a  lot of movies that fall apart in the last few minutes. People just don't seem know how to write endings.

One movie I totally dug until the last few scenes was the fourth Aliens flick. God that movie just bombed when the new alien critter came on screen. Ugh.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on August 31, 2005, 12:39:53 PM
Alien movies have always been good....lol. But every time I watch them I am reminded of that chip commercial that was made a few years back.

the newborn was a good idea that got wasted, although half human half-x creatures are getting old and too much like d&dl
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on August 31, 2005, 01:16:11 PM
It wasn't a bad idea, but it looked like utter shit. Sides, while it wasn't a bad idea, I'm sure they coulda come up with something even better.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on August 31, 2005, 02:02:02 PM
oh worst scary movie ever...Freddy Vs. Jason...it was funny more than scary.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on August 31, 2005, 05:52:03 PM
The Freddy movies haven't really been scary for quite some time.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on August 31, 2005, 06:10:15 PM
Yeah like only the first one was.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on August 31, 2005, 07:16:32 PM
Well, the Third had its moments too.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on August 31, 2005, 08:18:44 PM
Is that the one where the roasted pig looks up and snarls at you from out of no where?
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on August 31, 2005, 10:59:54 PM
I don't remember the roast pig. Freddy 3 was the one with the kids, and he stalked them... and killed them... in their dreams. Plus, he had those claws. And that sweater he always wears. ;)

It was the one in the children's mental hospital.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on August 31, 2005, 11:16:54 PM
Yep that was the one that had the pig. I watched it on Halloween in the dark. I remember jumping up at some parts cuz I was half awake. And lil kids came for candy too so it didn't help when the doorbell rang
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on September 01, 2005, 12:37:16 AM
I really liked three, four was decent, five was bad, and six totally sucked ass. It was sad to see the series die so horribly, even if New Nightmare kinda redeemed it a little.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Quientin on September 01, 2005, 12:28:04 PM
its all about event horizon!!!!

thats an awesome and very freaky movie
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Mageknight Locke on September 01, 2005, 03:20:23 PM
yea that was full of 'WTF' moments
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on September 01, 2005, 03:42:32 PM
Event Horizon bored me. Not as bad as the Exorcist, but still.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on September 01, 2005, 06:38:09 PM
Everybody says the exorcist is the scariest movie out there. I have not seen it. Of course, I don't really get scared if I'm watching those kind of movies during the day, I laugh more. Horizon? WTF is that besides it being a scary movie...
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on September 01, 2005, 08:31:53 PM
Exorcist is my all time cure for insomnia. Half hour and I'm out.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on September 01, 2005, 08:41:24 PM
Oh? *shrugs* I think I have insomnia...I can't go to sleep until like 11 or midnight now at the least. I dunno. If the exorcist is not scary, then my mom is easily scared then.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Esnel Pla on September 01, 2005, 08:57:42 PM
Oh, man, I think The Exorcist is terrifying. Unlike other horror movies, it actually lets you KNOW the characters before things start happening, so you actually give a care.

I remember I could care less about any other victims of horror movies around that era, with the exception of like, Rosemary's Baby.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on September 01, 2005, 08:59:39 PM
It just wasn't scary to me.

And 11 or midnight aint shit. Up until the move out to my new place about 2 months ago I was regularly up til 8 am.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on September 02, 2005, 12:57:40 PM
Okay till 8 am...I would be cranky and snappy by then. Rosemary's baby? Dang it, I don't know old horror movies that well. I used too, but my family got all weird cuz like that was the only thing I would watch was scary movies, so they got me to watching other things like old comedies and such. And I take back for what I think is the stupidest movie, now I think its pumpkin head. It was bad acting, and everything looked fake
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on September 02, 2005, 01:03:42 PM
I've seen dumber, trust me.

8am wasn't that bad, once you got used to it. It just took a little work to get into that flow.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on September 02, 2005, 01:13:20 PM
Well, I stayed up for three days straight cuz I had to make up hours for my school to graduate and just got notified about it like at the very end of school. So I had to write like 300 pages of crap and stay awake....it was very hard, for graduation everyone kept asking me what was wrong that I looked like a zombie. And after wards we all went to a big party..I remember my friends guiding me around trying to make me stay awake by doing things.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: ilpalazzo on September 04, 2005, 09:15:22 PM
One day straight for me never had anything important to do.
nor any good movies to watch or ridicule.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on September 06, 2005, 07:13:30 PM
I can't do that I usually pass out now adays
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Darkmoon on September 07, 2005, 12:28:03 AM
Been a long time since I could just stay up all night. Now I tend to pass out by 8 am.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Mageknight Locke on September 07, 2005, 01:11:09 PM
having random alcohol binges stops you from just passing out, as you cant get into a rythm so your body keeps you awake to try to get into 1
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on September 07, 2005, 09:07:59 PM
yeah...getting into alcohol usually keeps a person up for the longest time. I don't remember how long I stayed up once but it got into the day light hours when alcohol was in my system.

Isn't alcohol a depressant that puts you to sleep?
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?

It's supposed to be, yes.
Title: Re: Not enough formulas in math and science?
Post by: Helena on September 09, 2005, 02:15:31 PM
hm...it does the opposite for me, but I'm not a drinker. I'm usually the driver if I come to think about it. Its funner watching other people act like complete morons as long as it doesn't get too out of hand.

in small quantities yes, in large amounts its completely the opposite

Post by: Darkmoon on September 09, 2005, 08:08:18 PM
Again, I would have thought it being a depressant, it would make you more tired in larger doses.
