To my knowledge we don’t have those in the States. That’s really obnoxious.

I was discussing these piracy warnings just the other day, and I agree completely with you. I feel the same thing every time I’m at the cinema, and that anti-piracy trailer comes on to tell the audience off like naughty children. We are not paying for this! Emphasis on the paying part! It’s frustrating how redundant the whole campaign is. And don’t get me started on the “You wouldn’t steal a handbag. You wouldn’t steal a film. STEALING. IS. A. CRIME.” trailer that some DVDs won’t even let you skip…

Blowing up the mothership kills/ shuts-down all of the invaders.

It isn’t a big problem.

I didn’t think I would like this movie but was pleasantly surprised. I do agree, though, that they should have explored the “freedom is subjugation” theme some more. So what was the alien movie cliche? I don’t think I noticed it.

This ride looks like Riddlers Revenge at 6 flags Magic Mountain’s, in California. same idea, stand up and have the living crap smacked out of your head. Anyone going on it needs to remove ear rings. Even sun glasses, with strap, causes some ear cartridge damage on top of a concussion. they need to redesign the restraint systems on most of the over the head bars.

Comment on Why 3D Won’t Dominate by TGW Review: The Avengers | The Geek Whisperer

TGW Review: The Avengers | The Geek Whisperer — Wed, 09 May 2012 07:24:15 +0000

[...] I strongly dislike 3D, but I didn’t mind the 3D in The Avengers. For the most part it added depth like a diorama, instead of flying at the audience like a pop-up book. With the exception of one brief moment, I was cool with the 3D. [...]

Comment on Go See “Cabin in the Woods” (2012) by TGW Review: The Avengers | The Geek Whisperer

TGW Review: The Avengers | The Geek Whisperer — Wed, 09 May 2012 07:24:12 +0000

[...] One of Whedon’s talents that runs throughout everything he’s ever done is his manipulation of clichés. He is a master of taking what the viewer expects, and then suddenly turning it on its side. Where lesser writers will fallback on “classic” story elements, Whedon works like a magician and always keeps you guessing. That’s one of the things that made Cabin in the Woods (2012) so exceptional. [...]

I see. Your case reminded me of my youngest brother who was being tortured by his neighbor
with loud music at late nights. I got so angry I planned to attack his neighbor if it continues. But another brother of mine got ahead of me and put fear to the neighbor just by saying ‘I am one crazy street fighter you know that?’.

I wish that were the case my friend, but week after week it becomes worse.

I really don’t care what people do so long as it doesn’t impact me, but there are nights where I have a hoard of very chaotic teens outside my door, and I don’t feel safe leaving.

At I thought it was funny because of the book lol.
I were you, I’ll give it another week. It’s probably just because of the full moon when dumb people become lunatics.
