Movies
Dancergirl13’s idea. We haven’t had a movie thread in more than a year, and back then it was combined with books. Do Musers even watch movies? There’s only one way to find out…

in April 7th, 2007 @ 22:38Answer: Outside of a few (movies), we don’t really much.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
H2G2 the movie, inferior to the book but still OK.
haven’t been able to find a copy of Life of Brian to watch yet but haven’t really looked
I can’t think of anything else.
last movie seen (in theater) that I can remember: Akeelah and the Bee, last summer
movie wants to see: I have a DVD of The American President from holiday 2005 that I haven’t seen yet.

in April 7th, 2007 @ 22:46Movies… hmmm. I haven’t seen one in a while.
Does anyone like Marx Brothers?
And I have just been soaring on wings of cold silicon through dusty gigabytes of time, searching through ruins of threads long forgotten, and I saw the Muse/Harry Potter Fan Fiction. Then I got to thinking… What if the Muses showed up in other books and movies? Such as… DL forbid… Eragon?? Just a little suggestion for any of Our Exalted Administrator Dudes/Dudettes who are feeling creative and/or slightly evil today.

in April 7th, 2007 @ 22:57I think Muse fanfiction has huge potential, but Musers will have to write it. We adult types don’t have time. That’s why you haven’t seen the third installment of my Muses-meet-the-Order-of-the-Phoenix story, in which Mimi meets Draco Malfoy.

in April 7th, 2007 @ 23:30The last movie I watched was The Prestige. It was good, I thought, except the killing of all those birds.
My favorite movies of all time:
Master and Commander
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Mouse Hunt
Is it coincidence that those all begin with M?

in April 8th, 2007 @ 11:18Saw “Blades of Glory” in theaters. Was LARGE WASTE OF MONEY!!!! best part of movie was ad for “At World’s End” the 3rd POTC movie. (Pirates of The Carribean)
The ad was amazing, and I sooooo can’t wait.We should have an favorite actors thread(actresses too!) Where we can list our favorite actors/actresses and why we like them other than we think they are cute/pretty
I WILL START!
*Christian Bale (AMAZING. and cute. The Newsies was the best movie ever and I love every song in it and oh my goodness I will ramble on and on so STOPPING NOW!)
*Reese Witherspoon (Shows that not only can she play lighthearted and lightheaded characters [Legally Blonde], but she can be serious, and win Oscars. [Walk The Line]
*Heath Ledger (A Knight’s Tale: other best movie ever. I’ve probably watched it 15 times. “It’s called a lance. Helloooo”If you haven’t seen it, you are being seriously deprived)
*Harrison Ford (STAR WARS! INDIANA JONES!)
Hehe.. I went over the top, didn’t I?
Oh well. There should be one.

The Lord of the Rings is very good. Not as good as the books, but often more dramatic. Think the skeleton falling into the well.

in April 8th, 2007 @ 11:36Oh, I went to Charlotte’s Web the other night. Mostly for my little sister, who wanted to go but not by herself. (We were house-sitting for someone who lives in town.) So I went, and so did my mom, and it was the most pointless use of my money I can think of, short of tossing into a gutter. However, I did get some Dr Pepper out of it, so it wasn’t all bad.
The worst movie of all time is Howl’s Moving Castle, though now that I’m over my obsession, I could watch it without being more than silently resentful.
If they butcher Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell I’m gonna DIE.
The funniest worst movie is Quatermass II, not because it’s meant to be funny, but because it’s so old the “horror” is anything but.
I like Wallace and Gromit a lot.

Der Wachtelschlag
in April 8th, 2007 @ 12:44Oh man. I love movies. All movies. Including The Princess Bride, even though the book was not as good.
I watched a musical last night. It had Catherine Deneuve, George Shakiras (Riff in West Side Story) and Gene Kelly in it, and it was made in France in 1967. Wow. Lots of costumes, lots of scenery, the two main characters couldn’t dance and had truly incredible wigs, and you didn’t need to speak French to understand what people were saying. It was hilarious. I’m not even kidding. George Shakiras had to pretend he liked girls, which was good, and speak French, and Gene Kelly had to sing in French. He was the only person in the movie who could dance. It was a horrible musical. It included the two Honda guys, the young sailor who wants to be a painter, a kid named Booboo (Let’s go steal some PICNIC BASKETS!!) who was a pain in the ass, and other stuff. Very stylized.
Here are some of my favorite flicks:
-A Lonely Place To Be
-The Philadelphia Story (NOT High Society, because only Satchmo saved that movie’s butt)
-Ben-Hur, of course
-Anything with Star Trek
-2001: A Space Odyssey
-The Importance of Being Earnest (Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Judi Dench, Reese Witherspoon)
-The Mummy

-Shrek & Shrek 2
-The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (the newish one)
-Cars
-Night at the MuseumUm…I don’t really watch very many movies at the movie theater so that would be about it.
Movies I am looking at and maybe watching when they come out:
-Shrek the Third (but probably not…sequels aren’t usually as good as the origional)
Movies I desprately am waiting for:
-The Chronicles of Narnia: Price Caspian (comes out May 16, 2008-Waaah!)
-The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (comes out 2010ish…WAAAAAAH!!!)

in April 8th, 2007 @ 13:42Some of my favorite movies are (not in order):
1. Harry Potter
2. Lord of the Rings
3. Pirates of the Carribean
4. Princess Bride
5. Phantom of the Opera
6. Happy Feet
7. Chronicles of Narniaand I would say Eragon, but seriously, the movie was horrible. I like the books so much better! And I’m sure that there are a bunch of other movies that I like a lot, but I can’t think of any right now…
I love the Princess Bride!!! It’s sooooo funny! I am getting the DVD probably tomorrow in exchange for Eragon which I got for Easter and am returning!!! YAY!!! The special effects are horrible, but the movie is AWESOME! Did you know that it probably was the basis of a lot of movies created today? For example, Zorro is based off of it (you can tell that just by looking at the main characters). I can’t think of any more movies based off of it, but my friend told me a whole bunch. I’m sure I’ll remember later.

in April 8th, 2007 @ 13:5318-No, it’s based off Zorro. Zorro was a book before it was a movie and before William Goldman was born.
I also liked the Kill Bill films, American Graffiti, Lawrence of Arabia, Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile, etc.

in April 8th, 2007 @ 13:57Eragon- I agree, the movie stunk. I can’t believe they cut Solembum and Angela! I mean, those characters were almost the only original ideas Paolini had, and they were actually pretty cool!

in April 8th, 2007 @ 15:15Ahh, The Princess Bride. It’s a tradition among my friends to watch it at least once a year. We’ve seen it so many times, I think a couple of them were mouthing the words throughout the entire movie. I’m not kidding.
Can you believe they’re making another Indiana Jones movie? I mean, Harrison Ford is so old.

20- I know! They are AWESOME! I think they did put Angela in there, but they portrayed her HORRIBLY! And I loved Solembum! He is awesome and one of my favorite characters.
24- Actually, he’s a werecat, but same difference.
25- ANOTHER one?! Wow.
I can’t wait for the third PotC! The second one I didn’t like though. It wasn’t as funny as the first one, and nothing was resolved! Yeah, I’m not going to go all into this right now.
Adios! (for probably the thousandth time I’ve posted Adios! on MuseBlog.)

Favorite movies:
The Lord of the Rings
The Princess Bride
Pirates of the Caribbean
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (highly addictive)
Fiddler on the Roof
The Sound of Music
30s horror movies-Frankenstein, etc. “The Old Dark House” with Boris Karloff is pretty good.
I KNOW there are loads more but my mind is completely blank.Favorite TV shows:
old Star Treks
Doctor Who (both new and old)
Good Eats (not sure if that counts)
Planet Earth-sort of like what would happen if National Geographic was turned into a documentary
Wooster and Jeeves, or maybe it’s Jeeves and Wooster- anyways, I love P. G. Wodehouse
Monk
All Creatures Great and SmallMost Hated TV shows and movies (WARNING: these are potentially toxic shows intended for young children such as my younger siblings)
Dora the Explorer (If you have any younger siblings, then you may know that this horrific creature’s normal tone of voice is a nerve-shredding shriek)
Barney (barney is a dinosaur/from our imagination…)
Max and Ruby (bunnies-need I say more?)
Noddy (never mind-I can’t take it)s
Barbie movies (self-explanatory)Bye!
P. S. If the rant annoyed anyone, my apologies.

in April 9th, 2007 @ 14:5134-Pod People is an MST3K movie. I haven’t seen The Body Snatchers, but Pod People by MST3K is really hilarious.
And modern language isn’t the only problem with She’s the Man: the acting was almost unbearable, the “some are born great…” line thrown in at the end was groan-worthy, and the entire subplot with Sir Toby Belch, Maria, Aguecheek, and Malvolio was entirely left out, and that was one of the best parts. Sorry, I just really like Shakespeare.

in April 9th, 2007 @ 15:23MissSwann2223- You’re probably in a different time zone. I think Museblog is on central time or something like that. It’s an hour behind here.
46- Good list. I love Jeeves and Wooster (one of the few times a book was sucesfully adapted to another medium, I’ve got it playing on youtube right now. The books are still better, though) and Monk is fabulous. But neither are movies, so I’ll refrain from expanding on the subject.
48- Yes, I’ve seen Paperclips. To be honest, it’s not strictly about the holocaust. It’s about a holocaust project done by a school out in (I think) Tennessee. It is touching, though.

I’m a much bigger fan of the DW radio show, though. I didn’t really like All Creatures Great and Small. James Herriot, or Alf Wight, rather, was SCOTTISH.

I also saw Garden State last week. I prefer Shakespeare in Love.
Also (oh, god, a lot of movies) I saw Other Peoples’ Lives, which was fascinating, despite being in German. I really recommend it if there’s a theatre showing it where you live.

Star Trek(actually, books mostly, and whatever old tapes I can find, Enterprise wasn’t really that good)I’ve seen play versions of some of these things, like I saw the revival of Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway around 2004, and last month I saw Importance of being Ernest (at SUNY).

my favorite movies…
uhhhh
I like Bend it Like Beckham, Garden State, Titanic, The Basketball Diaries, The Departed (see a theme in the last three… anyone? no? the next one might be a hint), Catch me if you can, Millions, Quinceañera, Whale Rider, LOTR, POTC, The Fifth Element, Gosford Park, Dogma, The Matrix, Strictly Ballroom, Ferris Beuller’s Day off, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Wierd Science, St. Elmo’s fire (another theme! whadda ya know…) I won’t continue, I think it’ll take too much space.ok, so this movie just came out, it’s called Premonition and it has Sandra Bullock. whatever you do, do not go and waste your money on this movie. My friend and I did and we had to walk out of the theater lest we throw up. just don’t see it. Not even close to worth it.

55-Bend It Like Beckham wasn’t bad, and neither was Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club, or Weird Science (Oingo Boingo theme song!). However, Pretty In Pink sucked.
Has anyone seen the new version of The Wind In The Willows? It focuses mainly on the escapades of Toad, but it’s fabulous. Especially the Toad, and Mole. Ratty didn’t have as big as a part and Badger was just okay. It was still a fabulous movie.

46-Boris Karloff is a greatt actor. He was in a Walter Mitty movie or something. DORA IS AN ALIEN!!! She was like “ok say rojo……………………Good Job! Thats Right!” And all I said was azul.
48-I cried when they hung that guy when he didnt do anything. Thats racisim for you.
50-I havent seen Star Trek, but somebody who was an actor in it used to live in the woods (kind of woods) behind my house. My friend’s parents managed the estate! It was a girl I think.
55-I like Bend It Like Beckham too! Kiara Knightly (Jules) and The-Girl-Whos-Name-I-Cant-Pronounce (Jess) both had their breakthrough’s there. Jess now plays Nihla in ER and Kiara is a model or something. Whale Rider was Kiesha Castle Heus’ breakthrough too. She plays Mary in the Nativity.

in April 10th, 2007 @ 20:1462-There is this Indian girl who loves to play soccer. But her parents wont let her play. So she secretly joines a girls team and befrends Jules (another player) and tells her parents that she has a summer job. Meanwhile, Jules and Jess have fallen in love with their coach, Joe. Jess kisses him, and Jules gets all mad and lectures Jess about love. Jules mother hears “you dont know anything about love, youve betrayed me Jess you really hurt me” and starts to think her daughters a lezzie. Then Jess’ parents find out about her soccer playing, and well…. oh look it up on wiki.

Red-tailed HAWK
in April 12th, 2007 @ 20:13I wasn’t sure where to put this, or if somebody has made on in the past, but I have invented a thread-rating system:
A: Awesome for anybody. These threads are perfectly safe for anybody to visit.
B: Bad for babies. These threads are relatively safe, but those under the age of about one should be careful.
C: Caution recommended. Some material may not be suitable for those under nine.
D: Dangerous for those under 12.
E: Especially dangerous. Not suitable for those under 16.
F: Frighteningly ferocious. Do not enter unless you are an adult. (hopefully there won’t be any of those)
I will post each rating as soon as I see the thread. You may comment on my choice, or post your own rating, but I will be posting mine in bold so people will know which one is my rating. Thanks! *sends pie*

in April 12th, 2007 @ 21:5370 – Someone older would have to rate it for the younger ones. Unfortunantly there are. There was a breif discussion on the details of homosexuality on the religions v. 2007.2 thread, something that could scar people for life. That could be a D. I doubt there will be any E’s because the GAPAs would zap stuff that was that bad. I rate this thread an A . Or maybe a B .

in April 13th, 2007 @ 18:15I’ve recently watched POTC 1+2, Das Boot.
I don’t watch all that many movies because recently is in the last three or four months…
Das Boot is really scary. It’s a war movie made by the losers. It is about the crew of a German U-Boat in WWII and their voyage.
POTC3 is going to start in Tia Dalma’s house. I think.
Beckett: You mad!
Jack: If I wasn’t, this would probably never work!Love that part

1 Harry Potter
2 Lord of the Rings
3 A Little Princess
4 Pirates of the Caribbean
5 Meet the Robinsons
6 NIght at the Museum
7 Princess Diaries
8 The Secret Garden
9 Ice Age
10 Lady in the Water
11 The Devil Wears Prada
12 National Treasure
13 Wallace and Gromet the Curse of the Ware RabbitThere are soooooo many more but I will probaby bore everyone. Does anyone else like A Little Princess with Liesal Mathews? I love that movie!!!! I ALWAYS cry, it has the best ending ever!!!!! The person who wrote that also wrote The Secret Garden, which is also kinda sad, but I Love them both.
I cant wait until the new Harry Potter movie comes out!!!! I hope they didnt destroy it this time like they did with the third movie ( no offense to the director who also directed a little princess). But I saw the preview, so at least he kisses Cho. Anyone else excited? They have confirmed that the cast will be the same for all the movies.

in April 14th, 2007 @ 20:14The last movie I saw in theatres was The Lives of Others. It was really cool. I had never really known or thought about what it was like to live in East Berlin but this movie really shows you what life was like there. It’s rated R, though and it is a bit traumatic but really good. Before that was The Pursuit of Happyness which I just thought had too much pursuit and too little happiness. Before that Narnia? maybe? Unless I saw something between those and I don’t think I did…
I was at a sleepover last weekend and we watched both When Harry Met Sally which is a really sweet romantic comedy though they do talk about sex a lot and Never Been Kissed which is really oddly similar to Mean Girls. (It’s better than Mean Girls though and came out first and has a completely different premise, it’s just both have a “new highschool student who is split between popular and non popular crowd” type theme. they’re rather different though)

in August 24th, 2007 @ 16:50I think, that sequels are not usually as good as the original movie, but Harry Potter, has somehow achieved an unbroken streak of greatness in its movie franchise. Each film seems to be better then the last. Even HP5, which obviously made some big departures from the book, was great.
I’m almost scared to see the 7th one.
The 7th book by the way, is like incredibly dull. I’m having to force myself to read it. Sorry to HP fans. I am hoping that the movie will be better though.

in December 4th, 2007 @ 19:33The Golden Compass was good. They changed the order of some stuff that happened, but it wasn’t that bad. Minor inconsistancies, but oh well. And while they did keep the religious stuff down (they never said Church, for example), the guys look a heck of a lot like bishops/popes/etc and the Magisterium is quite obviously evil.
Ugh, now I have to wait for everybody else to see it.

Once other people have seen it, though, can we talk more specifically? For example, if in the book characters A and characters B had an encounter and in the movie I think they totally botched it, can I say “The encounter between A and B was really lame because of blah blah blah”?

in December 14th, 2007 @ 22:58Re Golden Compass: I definitely want to see it, but I want to re-read the book again, just so I can be fully equipped to see the movie in its movie-ness. And so I remember everything in the book, and therefore can figure out all the discrepancies and such. I also have to wait around for THF to read it, because she hasn’t read it yet. ::jaw drops::

I thought it looked great. The characters were well cast (or animated), and the set and prop designers did a fine job.

I want to see that INCREDIBLY badly, but I have never seen an R-rated movie with nothing skipped.
But I might be able to go if my parents see it first and say it’s fine….151 – I am seeing it today. I’ll post here about it when I can.

I didn’t like how they did when Lyra was reading the answer in the alethiometer, with the dust forming shapes, and I can’t remember how the book ends but I know it wasn’t like that.
Other than that, I really did like it. I am very glad that Lyra turned out exactly how I imagined her.

I want to see I Am Legend, too. I am a big movie-goer! xD

(164) Presumably Pullman told the actors how he pronounces it.The “Lord of the Rings” movies did a good job on pronunciation, the big exception being the name of Saruman’s hangout, Isengard. Tolkien’s appendices give specific instructions about how to pronounce vowel sounds, and long “i” is not part of his phonemic palette.

I didn’t like the way the daemons. They didn’t look even slightly real, and guess who they had play the voice of Pan? Freddie Highmore. I can’t stand that kid. He’s in literally every movie that needs a boy roughly his age. It’s irritating. He’s not even that good!

The plan of “Mega Tron” was to convert all of Earth’s machines into a gigantic intellegent robot army.
Oh, and they can survive sub-freezing temperatures after hundreds of years.

in December 30th, 2007 @ 21:55186- Because “mega” is a Latin prefix meaning “big,” and “tron” is the name of a video game (from Earth!), which has since become a cliche suffix tacked onto the name of just about every comic-book robot. A member of an ancient mechanized race from the other side of the galaxy is called something that practically translates to “big robot?” GIVE ME A BREAK!!! *pant pant* OK, I’m getting too worked up about this. *leaves*

And they said that Beagle 2 was a rover. It wasn’t.
They also said that Beagle 2 was a NASA mission. It was really a mission from the European Space Agency.
Michael Bay needs to brush up on his astronomy.

in December 31st, 2007 @ 18:09171- I agree. I don’t dare watch the recent one.
I saw The Water Horse recently. It was diverting, but horribly, horribly, cliched. I knew every character’s relationship to the story the moment they appeared. The water horse itself was less than wonderful, and I absolutely cannot stand those angsty eleven-year-old boys with fathers missing during WW2. Ugh. At least Angus wasn’t played by Freddie Highmore. I strongly dislike Freddie Highmore. Yesterday my mom was telling me about August Rush, and I was enjoying it until she remarked that the kid was played by Freddie Highmore and I just went – “Oh.” and lost all interest.
