Might be one of my favorite lines ever from a trailer, and I absolutely love Tom Hardy. Rocknrolla was awesome.

Hardy is going to be a big, big star. One of my favorites. Dude used to be a major drug addict, nice to see him turning things around.

[A Perfect Score]

Ron Perlman as Hellboy might be the best cast ever. And I love this movie.

[Bengals78]

Perlman as any monster is a great cast

Inception was pretty good. I had a few issues here and there and I can't help but wonder if they had to cut a fair chunk of footage out to get it to a consumable length, but overall it was hugely engaging and had a strong pace to the end.

Also, the last shot may be my favorite last shot of any movie ever. Now they just have to not ruin that shot by making a sequel.

They must have done a lot of shooting if they had to cut out a lot of shots while still hitting 2 and a half hours.

I just get that sense because so many characters feel undeveloped.

Despite being told "he's the best at what he does", I never felt like I understood in the least what JGL's role was. Despite all the set-up regarding Ellen Page's totem, it was never used. So much was set-up that was never played out fully.

I enjoyed it greatly despite all this, of course, it just felt like Nolan was cramming too much in, just like he did with TDK.

You guys need to use spoiler tags more. I feel like you've already blown a few surprises :\

just watched this and enjoyed it:

Inception in an hour!

[A Perfect Score]

Yeah, I think I might see it before going out tonight as well.

[M.O.T.H.]

I think I have to wait until Monday or worse, Thursday. My work schedule sucks for seeing movies.

And random...Kick-Ass out on dvd in about two weeks already. Woo. That's going to be a sexy Blu Ray. I dont buy many, but I'll shell out the cash for Kick-Ass. Right now my Blu Ray "collection" consists of...

Cloverfield
The Dark Knight
District 9
Moon
Resevoir Dogs (pretty pointless to have on Blu Ray)
Terminator Salvation

and terminator salvation is pretty pointless to have.

[Brodeur]

I'm in the same boat as MOTH when it comes to Inception, unfortunately. To oppose him though, I have like 85 blu-rays.

[M.O.T.H.]

You must be rollin in the cash, they cost way too much.

And yeah Terimator Salvation was a bore. I thought the blu-ray would make it better, but it doesnt. I find it pretty damn pointless to have blu-ray's without some sexy effects or exotic locations, however. My PS3's built in upconvert makes standard dvds look sexy anyway. No need to be watching 500 Days of Summer in Blu-Ray. haha. Give me lots of effects/explosions...but not Baysplosions, I dont want to see that **** in Blu-ray. Gives me a headache watching it in standard.

Just an FYI...District 9 is beyond amazing in blu-ray, as is Moon. So sexy.

[Brodeur]

The only BD's that I have spent more than 20 bucks on are The Dark Knight (when it first came out) and some TV seasons, so I usually only buy them when they're cheap (like $9-15 bucks most of the time).

[M.O.T.H.]

Smart man. Damn near all the dvds I buy are for like $8 tops. Used dvds and pawn shops for the win.

I did spend $30 on Moon and intend to spend $30 on Kick-Ass, though. But what are you gonna do? These are sacrifices that have to be made.

I get all (and I mean ALL) of my BD's on Amazon, and I'm considering getting Moon on there for $15 right now. I'll probably wait it out with Kick-Ass like I did Zombieland, which I eventually got for $15 also.

Right now, my Blu Ray "collection" consists of Avatar and Planet Earth: the complete collection.

Those are the only two non-anime dvd's I've purchased all year. Mostly because of netflix. My DVD queue has 388 selections and my watch now queue has 421.

[M.O.T.H.]

I'll have to check that out. I go on Amazon binges every once in a while. They have some amazing video game and tv box set deals as well, every now and then.

Reminds me, I still need to buy Breaking Bad. :) Amazon or Walmart.com are the places to pick it up. It's under $20, I believe...opposed to $30+ everywhere else. I'm always looking for these great deals.

Niiice. I dont think netflix is for me, though. I actually like have a collection of sorts and having that hard copy. I have about 300 dvds and growing right now. A pretty good collection, if you ask me. :) I bought this dvd rack that fits like 628, though...so it's kind of odd having it only half full, encourages me to buy more.

Speaking of...my latest purshase was Matchstick Men from a pawn shop for $2. haha.

[Cigaro]

No Country for Old Men is on TV. And to think, Shia LeBeouf was supposed to play the sheriff...

[M.O.T.H.]

I hope you know that was a joke, Cigaro. haha. The Coens wrote a fake article saying they thought they cast James Brolin, not Josh Brolin. So they had to adapt the script to the 1980's, they successfully did so, so that the younger Brolin would fit the role, but they couldnt get Shia to replace Tommy Lee Jones, who was supposed to star opposite James. har har.

[Cigaro]

Never believe your idiot friends. Yep, you're right, just looked it up.
