Due Date - 6/10

Pretty stupid in every way.  But I really like Zach Galifinkinafakasophikas, I don't think he can go wrong.  Not as interesting a role for him as The Hangover or It's Kind of a Funny Story.  But he plays the same character here pretty much.  The rest is generic.  It's worth it if you like Zach's quirky proud to be weird character, but otherwise it's meh.  Most of it is just a long string of action comedy cliches.  And Robert Downey is kind of annoying, he's Iron Man without the super powers.  So just an arrogant prick. 

I've got It's Kind of a Funny Story coming in the mail next, haven't seen it in a while and it's hazy enough in my memory to see again.

What movies are you excited about this summer? 

I'm looking forward to the new Aliens movie of course.  And there's another alien vs earth type movie that got bad reviews, but I generally like those unless they are really terrible and cast Keanu Reaves.  ;)   I think that's the one genre that I have lower standards for than most critics.

Haven't been to the theaters for a while, but really interested in the Avengers movie. I still need to see Thor beforehand though. Prometheus looks awesome, and looking forward to Batman as well.

Yes! I'm definitely excited for Prometheus and Dark Knight Rises as well.

Went to see The Avengers over the weekend. First time I've been to the movies in a while, since there seemed to be an extremely long dry spell for decent movies. I'm generally not too thrilled with comic book superhero movies, with the exception of Ironman and the Dark Knight. But The Avengers hit all the right notes for a summer blockbuster as far as I'm concerned. I truly wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised by what a fun ride it was.

Asylum Films has managed to apply its special approach to filmmaking to quite a few movies in the aliens versus earth genre.  Not that I'd expect you to be excited for those titles of theirs, but for the record I will end up watching them all at some point.

Hell of a first post here, and not in the good way.

Prometheus looks awesome.

cause it's made by ancient aliens,duh! lol, yea but supposedly it's based on the ancient astronaut theory and the guy who produces Ancient Aliens series was the one who worked on it as well. i'm interested in it as well but i'm not keeping my hopes high for it though.

I saw Lost is on Netflix and I started watching it a second time through.  I thought it would just be the first episode, but I've made it though quite a bit of the whole first season.  I actually think the show is better if you know the premise.  It's still kind of annoying though.  And yet so hard to stop watching....

I think if I knew enough of the premise as far into it as the fourth season or so because people don't announce Spoiler Alert before yapping in a fucking elevator, I would not have even started to watch.

Fortunately that was not the case.  I loved the show from the first episode to the last (though it was downhill for the last half, for me anyway).  Not sure I would appreciate a second viewing, unless I had the patience to look for easter eggs, if there even are any.

What I find really annoying about Lost are some of the more dedicated fans.  I mean really, they need to remove their genitals from the TV once in a while.

God the new Sherlock Holmes movie is terrible.  40 minutes in, and so far nothing has made any sense.  It's all a bunch of idiotic banter trying to be witty but amounting to nonsense.  Not sure I'll be able to finish it.  The sets and the look is awesome.  But the script....
