  1. It is actually :)

    Im kind of proud of it, at the same time, given that how little time i spent with honing my Hungarian skills, im deeply saddened when i dig out my old Hungarian game reviews, read through them, and compare wording and size of vocabulary to my current (infantile) standards.

     

    Never sounded that way to you? Really? I wrote overlong sentences which were going into no direction at all, didnt use any caps, never corrected mistakes, and my overall structuring/word usage was terrible, imho.

    Fortunately its not about my opinion, eh? :lol:

     

    But hey, this thread was about a Scanner Darkly, so dont pay attention to me :p

  2. Oy this thread is bringing back memories...and recordings of my once even worse English skills and general ignorance of spelling, intelligibility and punctuation.

    I sounded like a mindless teen!

  3. The best portray of Lucifer I have ever seen. I cannot imagine a better fallen angel. And I have seen a couple of representations of it...

    The most disturbing thing of it is that it appeared in a children movie.

    I have to get that movie by any means.

    I couldnt muster why you said its disturbing until they built a sandcastle...Whoa!

    Very cool and beautifully made. But why in a kids movie?!

  4. The Simpsons Movie is MUCH better than advertised.

    Yeah, every scene from the trailers is only an excerpt of how (funny) the scenes turned out to be.

    I enjoyed the movie very much, and thought it to be decent, altough its also not as brilliant as some epic episodes.

  5. Saw nip/tuck S1 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Its funny, well written, sometimes tragic, sometimes moralizing, and always very entertaining, those 45 min just fly by, and i always wanted more.

    Not mentioning the excellent acting throughout the board- Altough two actresses annoyed me here and there.

    Or the funky music.

    I also liked that it really was one big story, and characters who seemed trivial at first grew out to be more, cool stuff.

  6. I'm seeing it on Saturday at a free screening in Oslo, got the tickets weeks ago. If I enjoy it, I will happily go see it a second time with my friends (who did not get free tickets). I'm hoping it'll be good, frankly it would take a lot for it not to be better than the book, which is by far the weakest of the lot.

    I thought the Halfblood prince to be far more bland. But that ending...

  7. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: I thought it was rather brilliant: they got rid of pretty much every thing not needed for the story to work and then tightened it up a bit. It was really good, I thought. the only thing slightly disappointing was the Voldemort vs Dumbledore battle, which ends up being more of a repeat of the Harry versus Voldemort from Goblet of Fire fight: no statues coming alive and that sort of thing.

     

    the big, BIG thing about this was the way I saw it: on IMAX format with the last twenty odd minutes in IMAX 3D. pretty spectacular stuff, if you have the chance to see it in this format, take it!

    Would someone who is annoyed by the youngsters, mood and some solvation choices enjoy it?

  8. Memento, at last!

    Darn, this was a superb film. Reminded me of Machinista, to be frank. Its about a guy in whose life something terrible happened, thast changed him even more as he ever wants it to be. There are things which are pretty easy to spot and demask, but whats it all about, lies in shadows until the end. And in addition, its full of eery and flabbergasting moments.

    Easily the best film of Nolan ive seen yet. And from now on im a fan of Mr.Pearce! That man has a cool voice. And Moss doesnt look half-bad either when she isnt all propped up Trinity-mode.

    Dont let me even start on one of the coolest rewinding moments/intros in film history!

  9. Hot Fuzz

     

    Fucking brilliant! Action+Great comedy. Haven't laughed so hard with a movie since... I don't remember.

     

     

    It's at the dollar theatre this week, so I'll be seeing it soon!

    I loved it too. The gags come in a far more faster tempo compared to Shaun, and while being small, they always deliver. The action sequence at the end was a tad dull though.

  10. The concept of the film is intriguing, but i dont really want to see Smith as action-hero again- And why cant he be a bit more normal? Hes musucular, driving a Mustang, had a nice little family (Oh, and is a brilliant scientist, of course...yeah)...If he would be an average Joe, it would be so much more interesting a movie. Why did they have to cast him? Why does he have to drive that car??!!

     

    It depends on the build-up, though. If hes slightly more average at the films start (Which, is not really interesting in the trailer, yet has some feel to it), and only afterwards gets to be this cliched cool guy, maybe it wont be that awful.

    Albeit im not a big fan of zombie-flicks. And Will Smith. And that damn car (I mean ok, he can take everything he wants now, but couldnt it have been some...other automobile?)

     

    Trace: Perhaps hes not a scientist and chiseled at the same time- That site blurbs about three years between the first and the second half. But hes still so un-geeky. Even if i dont know scientists personally meself.

  11. I too loved the IT Crowd. I like Moss, but Roy is who cracked me up.

     

    I'm looking forward to the US version, but it'll be hard pressed to be better than the UK show.

     

    I wonder if NBC knows what RTFM means. :happy:

    This show cant beat the original- I just love British accents and British humour in general. Not that Americans cant be funny as a rule of thumb- But why they have to reshoot their own version, with only one individual of the original cast is beyond my grasp.

  12. Ah yes, thanks Mark :)

    I knew one part was real and the other not, but now it makes more sense.

    I would watch it more often, but it was on TV :(

    Didnt want to dechiffre it, but while i went trough a bath of feelings (Mainly from wonder trough amusement, shock, disgust and arousal til thrill) i also wanted to understand it, too.

     

    Wasnt moved by the Silencio scene though- Until you know what happened. Highly disturbing.

  13. Mullholland Drive.

     

    This was a very intense, puzzling, disturbing and shocking movie.

    I didnt really understand the part from where "Rita" opened the blue box (Was it a dimension gate? A time machine? Some contraption to create a dream were something is real and other things arent?), but it kept me motivated all time to figure it out. There was not only one scene were i thought "Oh my god, how am i gonna sleep tonight?".

    Very good acting, soundtrack and characters too. Very Lynchlike, as if youd throw Twin Peaks and Lost Highway in a pot, add some flavour and stirr it...

     

    Jesus!

     

    Does someone know an explanation?

    I thought that both elements create one story.
