I reckon the films could have easily been half an hour shorter just by cutting some of that out, could have had a half hour long extras track of Frodo's facial expression for those that want it.

Have you read the books? The amount of description that has already been excised is staggering.

Yes, sadly I have and it amazes me that you'd rather have so much facial depression rather than more story.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the tone of the books is biased heavily towards mood and setting and interminable descriptions. The films preserve some of that, but barely any by comparison.

No it was flawed...riddled with mistakes narrative holes and bad hair nets!

While you're entitled to your opinion, of course, I don't know how you can possibly like Prometheus if you had issues with LOTR!

i saw prometheus at the cinema and was dissapointed.

i will give it another whirl but it will be the alternate version and if that's a load of try hard nonsense too then i will have to stick with my original judgement.

Tummy · 15 Oct 2012 at 22:54

What alternate version?

cm1179 · 15 Oct 2012 at 23:01

i heard the bluray SE will have a different beginning and ending and plug a few holes.

Just got back from seeing Looper, not bad did timey wimey wibbly wobbly pretty well ( as far as a fantasy deconstruction of physics will allow ) acting was tidy from all of the cast, wasn't too effect heavy. no spoilers from me and I'd give it a solid 7/10 ( I am fussy )

not related to the movie at all but highlight of the night was the other half as they had a trailer illustrating available enhancements for both the hard of hearing and sight impaired.

Her " why come to see it at the cinema if they cant see properly? why not just get it on dvd when it comes out? "

Me after long pause and obvious wtf / rolleyes " oh yeh, those Braille edition dvd's make all the difference "

ensuing giggle fit commenced which we both managed to get under control just as the movie started, yes she is blonde but I wouldn't swap her for anything.

Scientists don't talk to aliens like pets....

Theron was under used

The actress from GWADT cannot act.

The alien melts the guys face and mask and he turns up 30 mins later with his face intact...

Was boring

Why was Guy Pearce in it made up to look like Benjamin Button?

The best thing about it was fassbender one of my fav actors...he was superb

Alien 1 and 2 are superb this is trying to be clever nonsense....Opening sequence looked amazing then it just turned into a turd

You mean the one that's out? I have that and no it doesn't?

Unless you mean extra's, which are different to alternate versions :confused:

Prometheus 6/10

'Harry · 15 Oct 2012 at 23:12

No Country For Old Men

Honestly never gets old, such a brilliant movie.

''What time do you close?''

''Now.''

''Now is not a time what time do you close?''

I doesn't have an alternate version of the film. There are extra clips in the form of 'deleted scenes' ?

Go talk your **** in the other threads.

This isn't the place for it.

BathmanNick · 16 Oct 2012 at 10:19

watched A Bugs Life and Rocky Balboa on TV

7/10 Bugs Life - seen this film before years ago but did not remember any of it. Was pretty funny

Rocky Balboa - 6/10 - Meh, guess its good if you like the sentimental stuff. i just spent the hole time waiting for the fight at the end.

Lol.

I agree with him on Prometheus though...a right ****-up of a movie.

I watched Cabin the Woods recently. I heard good things about it but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Very fun film to watch. 7.5/10

Tower Heist. Easy to watch on 'Hangover Sunday', quite enjoyable but wouldn't watch again. 6/10
