I want to see RED and The Social Network too
Not heard of Despicable Me though.

It looks fucking awesome :D

I just can't bring myself to believe that The Social Network will be anything but fucking shit

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:17, Reply)

Trent Reznor did the soundtrack.
Plus I've only seen/heard positive reviews.

I love that Jesse guy, he's brilliant.
He looks like he plays the character well from the adverts. Justin Timberlake I am still finding hard to believe.

Seen 'Alpha Dog'?
JT is better in that than I thought he would be.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:23, Reply)

He's very good in this
because the character he plays is very "Timberlake" anyway.

The scene he first appears in when he wakes up in some Berkeley student's bed is class.

well yeah I know he's an acceptable actor
but I still maintain that no one who was remotely involved with the fruition of facebook would look like him.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:30, Reply)

He's not that far off. This is the guy he plays

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:42, Reply)

I bet he wasn't that buff before he became famous.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 11:11, Reply)

I think it will be good
doesn't Aaron Sorkin have something to do with the dialogue?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:20, Reply)

He wrote it, Fincher directs it.
Two great minds at work.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:22, Reply)

It was directed by David Fincher
If you don't count Alien3, which he disavowed after being cut out of the editing process almost wholesale, his films are all somewhere between "great" and "modern masterpiece". I admit that TSN is more likely to be the former than the latter but it must be worth a look

It's really close to "modern masterpiece"
IMO.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:26, Reply)

I think I am the only person who thinks Alien 3 is a good film.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:29, Reply)

I enjoyed it
But I haven't seen it in a very long time.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:35, Reply)

I may watch all 4 this weekend

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:37, Reply)

I don't mind Alien3
but a) it was a horrendous drop in quality from the first two (as it was always likely to be) and b) some of the concepts being banded around before production began and the ideas that Fincher had that were expunged in the name of smaller budget and less complicated plot make the end result nothing more than a disappointment.

Even so it would have been a good swansong if the saga had concluded there, the denouement was quite moving as long as it was, actually, the end. Resurrection crippled what merit Alien3 created for itself. And Whedon's influence aside, Resurrection is still generic bobbins, and there's no excuse for putting Natalie Cassidy on the big screen
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:37, Reply)

compared to the first 2 it does suffer
but that is because they are such good films.

I don't mind resurrection either. It took me a moment to figure out what you meant about Natalie Cassidy. I'm assuming you mean the minger from Eastenders looks like the half-human, half-alien thing?

'xactly

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 11:09, Reply)

No, I'm sorry, you're wrong.
Alien3 was crap. The only thing which really justifies its existence is that it was at least watchable, unlike its sequel which was just tedious shit. The very first Alien film has it, I'm afraid. (Though I must admit I still need to get round to seeing Aliens the whole way through.)
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 11:04, Reply)

It's really, really fucking good
seriously. I thought the same as you, but it's genius in that it never attempts to pretend that any of the main protagonists are particularly pleasant. Zuckerberg in particular. It's top-notch stuff.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:25, Reply)

on the basis of all of the above
I will not pre-judge. I will not be rushing to the cinema though.

Is it pixar? It looks cool

Steve Carrell
I think it's Carrell. Guy from Little Miss Sunshine and 40 Year Old Virgin.

what's RED?

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:19, Reply)

It's an action film with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich
playing retired assassins. It stands for Retired, Extremely Dangerous
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:21, Reply)

it doesn't
sound that great. Why should I like it?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:22, Reply)

Beacuse it has this bit in it where Bruce Willis does a handbrake turn
and as he does it he steps out of the car to start shooting people and walks out of the way of the spinning car with an INCH to spare. WELL EXCITING!

SOLD!

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:24, Reply)

Pretty much this^
I figure that with willis, Malkovich, Mirren and Morgan Freeman it'll be worth watching even if the execution is poor
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:24, Reply)

Yeah but I thought that about The Expendables
'with so much awesome, they can't go wrong!'
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:32, Reply)

I knew The Expendables was going to be crap
and haven't yet seen it, a five-minute scene reuniting the progenitors of Planet Hollywood wasn't enough to sell me on it. I'll get it on DVD as I believe it will be best watched drunk.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:39, Reply)

Also I am fairly sure I saw a trailer in which a van door slides open
to reveal Helen Mirren with a .50cal machine gun.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:41, Reply)

If Judi Dench has a cameo
Where she goes for Mirren with a katana, the movie would instantly become the best thing evah.
