OOPS I should'a posted this here:

Pandorum ain't quite elder evil's Pandorym.
anyways
I saw it cheap, but i'm'n'a go see it again.
Good stuff.

If anybody is a fan of HeavyMetal magazine ... the illustrated adult comics mag;
the story line is a direct hack of Druuna.
http://www.druuna.net/ ... "slinky" warning
Toned down of course, because Horror + cheesecake = worse than R-rated = no market.

I can see why it didn't sell too well.
It's dark, and for too long.
And then there's the semi Hollywood ending.
Still ... it's sharp SciFi.

I any of y'all get the chance, I recommend it.

Drawn Together, the movie.

if your the person who likes the show, your gonna like this movie.

if you like the idea of the show but found you had no interest in actually watching it, you will like this movie..

if you dont find toon nudity, scat and necrophilia jokes funny.. skip it.

minor spoiler,







some of the voice overs sound like josh or zeke (i still dont know whose voice is whose)

Saw a sneak peek of Survival Of The Dead on Tuesday, with an introduction from GEORGE FUCKING ROMERO himself. Overall, Survival is pretty bad. Romero said he wanted a western theme but instead we get Social Commentary: The Western (With Zombies!)

To avoid the line I hoped into Ghost World, which was surprisingly good

Iron Man 2 ... is it me or does Scarlett Johanson have just one dimension? ... not that I'd notice any of the others. (man giggle)

I know I'll be crucified for this, but Romero hasn't made a good movie since Dawn of the Dead.  Day sucked, Land sucked, and Diary sucked.  Even then, I enjoyed the remake of Dawn more than the original.  Yes, the man is the father of all modern zombie movies, and should be honored as such.  But just as we've moved beyond Joe Namath and Babe Ruth, we've also moved beyond Romero.

They're actually making Machete?  Nice.  I just hope Eli Roth doesn't end up making "Thanksgiving" too :(

Saw Iron Man 2 tonight.  Interesting.  Not as good as the original, IMHO, but still enjoyable.  As always, Downey stole the show.  The fight scenes were pretty weak, IMHO.  They didn't last all that long, and weren't all that spectacular.  That said, the dialogue was the best part of the movie.  Downey and the Senator (played by Gary Shandling) have a great confrontation, and I have to admit, it's the first time I've heard the word 'assclowns' used in a major motion picture.  I was rather saddened by the limited amount of screen time that Mickey Rourke got to share with Downey, but what was there was good.

And there IS an easter egg at the end of the credits.  You can decide for yourself if it's worth the wait.

Just saw Inception.  It's basically Godel Escher Bach meets Psychonauts as directed by Nolan.

...well, now I have to go see that. That sounds like a fantastic combination.

Someone is required to tell me what movie this is from.  Required.  Seriously, I will haunt this forum until I know.
