Finally saw it last night. Definitely a departure from past Bond films in terms of tone. Still great nonetheless.

Saw Despicable Me 2 with the kids. They loved it. I thought the minions were funny but it was basically what I expected.

Saw it too (with kids)...in 3-D :roll2: (which wasn't really necessary).

I think it was pretty much a build-up to the Minions movie coming out later, but still fine with kids.

You can tell how much the little girl's voice (Agnes) has changed from the first one (which is expected in life).

Somehow I really wanted a Twinkie after the movie (after seeing the Minions so often).

We binged on the extended versions of the Millennium Series, too. I have not read any of the books, nor seen the American version, so I cannot compare. Mrs. Katt said they stayed fairly consistent with the books. A couple thoughts: 1. The rape scene was brutal the first time and just as bad each time they replayed it. 2. The Swedish language is awesome. I am now not convinced that Jim Henson was just making words up for the Swedish Chef. Trippel Morda.

I've read all the books, and watched the Swedish and English versions of TGWTDT, and thought the English version did a better job portraying the two main characters. The overall story was very close to the book, in both versions, but I didn't like the way the Swedish version made Blomkvist a love sick idiot, and Salander a sultry super sleuth.

World War Z.

I went in knowing that it wouldn't be like the book, and was prepared to watch an action/zombie flick that could've had a different title. The problem is that it's just a generic, cookie cutter movie. Making the characters do stupid shit to get them into stupid situations. Do more stupid shit to keep them in touch with their family, rather than communicating with the people that sent them on their mission. Then throw in a cop-out "cure" to allow humans to fight the unbeatable antagonist. It just ended up not being a very good movie, without having the I, Robot problem of not only not following the book, but missing the entire point of the book.

What did you think of older Cosette? My wife thought her vibrato sounded like the birds from Cinderella :lol: (2:10 mark)

She was weak, but I've always thought the older Cosette role was somewhat weak. They probably should have cast a classic soprano for the part because that's what it requires. It's not as if Seyfried brought any significant acting ability to the role or any box office draw.

Her deficiencies are even more glaring when compared to Samantha Barks as Eponine.

I thought the spoken parts and his unique voice really added a new feel to a familiar role.

The more I think about it, Jackman was great. It really is the most demanding role in the film/musical. "Bring Him Home" is such a difficult song for a baritone (and that's what I think Jackman really is) and I thought he nailed it. I'm just a little bitter about "Who am I?" because that's one of my favorite songs (albeit short) in Les Mis and he only actually sang 1/3 of it.

Jackman physically fit the part (which was always the only legitimate criticism of Colm Wilkinson). And while he's not the vocalist that Wilkinson is, he definitely held his own. I thought it was great that they cast Wilkinson as the Bishop and I wonder how many people picked up on it.

Offer to make a drinking game out of it.


Hey it's not often I get to use inapropriate humor in reference to a movie that makes me cry in horror, anger & despair every time I see it.

Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. I usually find some amusement in awful movies, but not this one. I really wish I could get those two hours I spent watching this movie back...

You hush your whore mouth!

I really dug it as a kid...of course the 'fantasy' pickings were pretty slim at the time. You want awful? Watch Ator: The Fighting Eagle & Deathstalker or Hawk the Slayer sometime.

If you need a redeeming quality ... Liam Neeson.
