Looper.....duh.

[Rosebud]

Been meaning to re-watch Seven Psychopaths. Re-watched True Lies and Maverick a few nights ago. Any of those 3 should do you good.

[Xiomera]

"Side Effects" is quite the mind bender. Lots of twists. Also more naked Rooney Mara.

Finally got around to watching Bullhead, pretty brutal movie.

I loved the first was disappointed in the second but thought the third was good.

1st, 3rd, 2nd for sure.

So, Battleship...great movie or greatest? I'm leaning toward greatest.

[Rosebud]

I really wanted to find Battleship hilarious, but I just couldn't.

I thought it was hilarious for about the first 30 minutes because all it was was Riggins being Riggins, I was especially dying with the whole chicken burrito scene.

But after that I just was entertained by several things, like Rhianna's "acting". Also, I was waiting the whole movie to see how they would tie it to the board game, so when they did the whole buoy/grid and the captain shouting coordinates I just about lost it. I really wanted Landry to yell "WE SUNK THEIR BATTLESHIP!"

I watched Snow White and the Huntsman last night. What a strange movie. I don't think I liked it. And Kristen Stewart does not do a good English accent.

The only good thing about Battleship was Perd Hapley being one of the news anchors.

Kristen Stewart just sucks at life. She has less than no personality.

Noooo way, how did I miss Perd? Well, this just cements it as the best movie ever.

Oh, I forgot another great part. I have no idea if there is actually a naval competition like they have (I'm assuming there is, at least something slightly like it) but the fact that they play soccer as part of the competition is hilarious. Unless based on an actual event, why did you choose soccer of all sports/competitions? I guess the Air Force did already claim beach volleyball...

EDIT: I just looked, and Perd Hapley has been in only 2 movies for his career. Battleship and Fast Five. How has he not been in any other films, when it's obvious any movie he touches turns to gold?

I gotta say, I found it stupid how they tied it to the game. But I was also a little impressed that they did it in a way that at least made some sense. I was laughing as it was being explained, but I also felt like it was a pretty good way to do it if it truly needed to happen. I mean, I don't think the movie should exist, but if it must, that's the way to work the game in.

Finally summoned enough mojo to watch Your Sister's Sister. Ultimate sweet and charming chick flick, made most out of its finite premise. Dialogue's the best part, really witty yet not contrived. I'm now able to appreciate Emily Blunt's A+ body for the first time - strangely the least she wears in the film is probably a wool sweater. I'll take her over Kate Upton and DirecTV's genie (who's also a SI swimsuit model). Damn you John Krasinski..

Also living in the Pacific northwest someday will now start to be a goal. Bye Moonrise Kingdom's shore.

Moonrise Kingdom was filmed entirely in Rhode Island

Hence a portrayal of at least part of New England right? My point was to compare Pac NW vs. New England; actually read through many threads on city-data today for the comparison.

I watched it in theaters and wasnt too highly of it. Plus wasnt it really short iirc?

These naval aviators beg to differ:

Perks of Being a Wall flower was a very unhappy movie, and the whole time I couldn't stop thinking that the main character was Kalbears.

Few questions about looper...

What was with the ending? When Emily Blunt rubbed Joe's head like he said his mom does, and then the look on her face. Is Joe her son? And at the end when Joe shoots himself and she turns around and yells for cid, almost like she expected him to be gone like old Joe, at least that's what It seemed like to me.

How does she know so much about Loopers? Joe was explaining time travel and imediately she knew he was a looper.

And the sex scene, I don't think they'd just throw in that scene for the fun of it.

Are Jeff Daniels' character and Kid Blue the same person?

Could be thinking to much about it

-No, it was just drawing an allusion between the two
-No to whatever that statement is
-Because they're pretty well known
-Yes they would, it was to show how lonely she was
-Probably
