    Is CGI going to kill American Cinema

    Less is MORE! Since they have the ability to use CGI, lousy movie makers think it needs to be used 100 times in every scene.

    Is CGI going to kill American Cinema

    It's a cool technology, but almost NO-ONE understands how to use it. I have seen CGI that just makes me crings, EP1 I thought was horrible. The crash at the end of Air Force One was a joke, just about every CGI monster is horrible, (deep blue sea, godzilla, LOTR monsters) etc... However...

    Which movie director is worth more: Lucas or Spielberg?

    I think Speilberg's movies have grossed more money total, however if you're talking purely about that individual's wealth, I would have to say Lucas is probably worth more, because of all the merchandising money he made off Star Wars. I think I read awhile back that Lucas' whole empire is worth...

    I would LOVE to get Super Bowl XXXI in its entirety on DVD, not just the hacked up NFL Films version.

    *** Official "THE TIME MACHINE" Discussion Thread

    Guy Pierce looks like a total doof too. I don't know if he was the best choice to play the part. Whatever happens, there's NO WAY IN HELL it will be better than the 1960 version.

    ROBOCOP takes on the Taliban.

    I abhor gory movies I on the other hand love em! Total Recall and Robocop are such great action movies because they're so raw and vivid. All of today's action movies are either PG-13 or real tame R's (collateral Damage) and they just don't cut it. I say bring back Robocop, and bring him...

    My 'PREDATOR' appreciation thread.

    yeah, I remember that episode. He had to find his way home because his mom tried to drown him by driving her car into a lake with him in the back. But the car floated downstream instead.

    How would you rate these actors?

    Johnny Depp - 7 really good in quirky movies like Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow. Not as good in more mainstream stuff. Sean Penn - 3 incredibly overrated hack Benicio Del Toro - 4 nothin special, his fake mexican voice is the only reason he gets roles. Russell Crowe - 7 I wish he'd make...

    Arrrrrchhh! They are going to do it with Raiders of the Lost Ark too!

    Wow, I find it unbelievable that you actually encountered 8 or 9 year old girls who had never before heard a reference to oral sex :rolleyes

    Arrrrrchhh! They are going to do it with Raiders of the Lost Ark too!

    Lucas will probably take out Indy shooting the sword guy ala Han and Greedo. F'ing George Lucas!

    Ok, so which star trek fans are excited?

    I lost my excitement for Trek when the old crew retired. And the TNG movies have NOT impressed me. Of the 3 movies, there have been 2 bad ones, and 1 above average flick. Not a great track record. The facts of this new movie are: The bad guys are yet again another all new alien race The...

    What is your take on Special Editions?

    what would it take for you to buy a new special edition DVD of a movie you already own? For me, if the one I own is already anamorphic, then I won't buy the SE. And I have really avoided buying non anamorphic dvds, and only have like 3 of em (not counting 4X3 OAR stuff of course). What...

    ***Official Blue Laser Software Disc. Thread*** (f/k/a "Hi-Def DVDs by Christmas?")

    i haven't read the rest of the thread yet, however, along with being able to have HD resolution, the huge size of these discs should allow for a lot less compression in the movie too. Great for picture quality fans, not so great for people who rip movies to DIVX.

    HTF REVIEW: "Evil Dead: BOOK OF THE DEAD" Limited Edition *Special Review*

    I'm gonna stick with the Elite disc. This movie is great, but it isn't worth any more of my money.

    Ridley Scott, Underachiever Extraordinaire!

    That is usually true, but I hated the visual effects and cinematography of Gladiator. as did I. I thought the CGI vista shots of Rome and the external shots of the coleseum were downright horrible. And the hand heldy, wierd frame rate SPR style of the opening battle sequence did nothing...

    Ridley Scott, Underachiever Extraordinaire!

    dyslexic AaronP! I meant to put Ridley Scott's name first in the title! WOW, I must be tired. My in my brain I had his name in front, but what I typed came out the other way!

    Ridley Scott, Underachiever Extraordinaire!

    ok, in the last 2 years, Ridley Scott has come out with Gladiator Hannibal Black Hawk Down IMO these were all very good movies, however, I think that all of em were not nearly as good as they could have been. It was like they were each missing something special, that magical intangible...

    *** Official "JOHN Q" Discussion Thread

    Mr. Crawford, can we mention the political aspect of JohnQ here or is it still outlawed? It *HAS* to be fair game to critisize the movie on this subject since the movie makes a point of it. Without mentioning political parties or anything else. I will try to say with FACTS IN THE LINK what...

    Female Terminators?

    ugh, I hate "action women" like Tomb Raider and crap like that. If this female terminator has more than a a bit part, I will skip this one. I just want to see Arnold vs Vin Diesel.

    *** Official "COLLATERAL DAMAGE" Review Thread

    I liked the movie, however it needed MORE action. Why couldn't Arnie break out some hardware (ie machine guns) and mow down a few dozen columbian extras? is that too much to ask? It felt too much like events were just happening around Arnold, and he wasn't the one who caused enough stuff...

    Day of Defeat 2.0

    I also like the new MG and the weapon recoil, however after being hooked on DOD for ages, the sands of time are starting to catch up to it, and I prefer to play RTCW. It took a long time, but there's finally a game to get me away from DOD.
