That film looks awesome.
Del Toro makes proper visual films so it will be mega.

Giant monsters vs giant robots. What more do you need?

Apart from a storyline.

You don't need a plot if you have giant robots and explosions.
Any attempt at a story is merely a device to carry you from one giant robot explosion to another.

Exactly!
That Michael Bay knows how to do big robots and explosions.

He also knows how to rape classic horrors.

I don't watch horror films, so he's never offended me with them.

You too scared?

(Bazongaloid, Thu 4 Jul 2013, 12:13, Reply)

Pretty much, yeah.
I don't see the attraction in paying money to be scared.

Gonz, is your name change a refernce to a new Magicians book coming out by any chance?

(Bazongaloid, Thu 4 Jul 2013, 12:02, Reply)

Yup ! The Lev said the new book is "due in august", I think that means he's got to hand it to his publishers then, so that's when i'm going to re-read both of them for the 6th time (I don't think thats an exasoration).

Oh cool.
I didn't like the second one as much as the first, it felt a bit of a rehash in parts, but the bit in the first book when they guy gets his hands bitten off was really gripping and properly unpleasant.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 4 Jul 2013, 12:13, Reply)

Yeah', I'm with you on that, there was too much of the book in Follory, it got a bit tedious when searching for the keys, especially at the end when the sea started to run out.
But Julia's bit with the rejects was good, I loved the bits with the europen mythical creatures and assended humans... and it was pretty grim when Raynold appeared.

Yeah, but at the same time, it was essentially a similar description to that when the baddie appeared in the first one
even down to the thrashing legs and snuffling noises made when he broke the guys neck.

It was a bit, but it takes me a good month or two to read a book, so they didn't come to quick for me.

And good seats.
Twice Ive been second row from the front in the corner at an IMAX screening. You get quite a sore neck after a three hour film.

I've never been to Imax

Just a bigger screen and louder explosions and suchlike

( GeordieJay Bummers are deaf, Thu 4 Jul 2013, 12:07, Reply)

and how many pounds extra?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 4 Jul 2013, 12:08, Reply)

I bet I would still sleep through out the whole thing :(

Depends on the cinema.
I also got caught up in the D-Box moving seats hype. Only works for action films really.

Im a member at Cineworld so it's only a quid or so more for me.

They got one about 15m bus ride from me, so i've never had a bad seat. All their seats have loads of leg room too.
I always get an end seat in the middle.
