FWIS3

So far, I'm 0 for 2. I thought Iron Man 3 was weak with little plot coherence. That is, until I saw Star Trek Into the Darkness. The plot of that turkey makes IM3 look like Lawrence of Arabia. I think I'll try Fast and Furious 87 (or whatever) next. At least I won't be expecting anything other than explosions and car chases.

LOL. Nice to see the tradition of butchering that dead horse franchise continue apace.

Edit: the Fast and Furious one, was that the one where the guy thanks God for fast cars in the trailer?

Well, if you have Netflix, the movie Abduction is actually quite entertaining. You just have to get past the first ten minutes.

I'll add that to my queue.

I decided against seeing another movie this weekend - I making sawdust in my shop instead.

TMC was showing war movies and I caught a bit of the Guns of Navarone

I stumbled on to that. Saw the beginning of the movie for the first time. But had to go off and do other stuff.

That's a good movie. Gregory Peck, right?

Yep.

Gregory Peck
David Niven
Anthony Quinn
Richard Harris

Should have DVR'd it. I remember watching it with my Dad.

The Hurt Locker, The Longest Day, Blackhawk Down, and several others that I just surfed past
over the weekend...

Since everything is currently missing from FWIS 2.0, I'll take this opportunity to say yet again how much I hate The Hurt Locker.

Colors are fun.

Sucks that both Ironman3 Startrek suck.

Not to be presumptuous, but we might disagree with him. *fingers crossed*

Not if its poor plot.
that's something we all hate.

Took Iky to see Star Trek... we liked it...

He went to see Iron Man III with Cupicake... he thought it was decent...

But then... he's just had brain surgery...

And I'm crazy....

Well, we'll give it a go.
Got to admit though, a recommendation from a guy that has a hole in his head isn't all inspiring! LOL

Double post???
Ok, things are well on the way to being normal again.

It appears I'm in the minority with my opinion of ST ITD, which is fine. I've been there before.

Yeah - like me and The Hurt Locker. I really can't beat that dead horse enough.

I've seen that movie many times, have the novel somewhere. I read many of Alistair MacLean's novels in the late 70's - early 80's.

Just saw Star Trek (it only came out this weekend here in NL) and my date and I both liked it. What issues did others have regarding it anyway?

If I may toot my own horn, I think I had the best line of the entire evening though, when the hawt blonde doctor who has a doctorate in applied physics showed up, and I whispered that she must be evil.

"Why?" the date wanted to know.

"Never trust a beautiful woman with an advanced degree in physics" was my reply with a stern nod. Entire theatre shot us glares as the date lost it.

That was an evil thing to do.
