Title: The Island
Post by: Stealth on July 24, 2005, 02:55:58 pm
What a great movie.  

I went in expecting trash... (the trailer was cheese), but 2.5 hours later (that is a LOOOOONG movie!), i was very impressed!  The movie kept my attention the whole time; it didn't leave many open leads in the story, and it seemed to wrap it up pretty well.  I was legitimately impressed

:D

So i recommend everyone go see it.  It's worth the money

Is it more inallekshual or more car chases and 'splosions? Despite the interesting premise (well, relatively speaking) it gives off a very Hollywood vibe from what I've seen.

So is it trying to be "The Prisoner" or is it "Logan's Run"? It looked like it couldn't quite decide from the trailer.

It's a Michael Bay movie. It is for the stupid.

i saw a documentary on that. the actress (what was her name? Scarlet Johanson?) was joking around how they would watch the stunt doubles run for their lives. :lol:

meh, i'd go watch it... if i had the money...

Fav lines from the trailers:

*Something races by*
Johanson: What was that?!
McGregor: I don't know... but I want one.

I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark,
When he made Pearl Harbour.
I miss you more than that movie missed the point,
And that's an awful lot girl.

And now, now you've gone away,
And all I'm trying to say,
Is Pearl Harbour sucked,
And I miss you.

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school,
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part,
He's way better than Ben Affleck.

Now, all I can think about is your smile,
And that **** movie too.
Pearl Harbour sucked,
And I miss you.

Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbour sucked,
Just a little bit more than I miss you.

It's not trolling if it's the truth, slagblapper.

I just thought insulting people for disagreeing or holding an alternate opinion was considered trolling.  

Perhaps I was under the wrong impression, and it's ok to throw random insults at people, then.  You ****.

Technically, it's 'read', not 'heard'.  Unless you're blind and have a one of those text-speech things setup, in which case it's correct.  But i'm not blind, so it isn't.

Caracollons.

You people must be some uninformed bunch to actually pick a fight with ZB.

Anyway, I agree, if it's Bay, it's for the stupid usually, but it works fine for me, because of the obvious reasons.

I'll go see it, thanks for the reccomendation.

He just has...extremely discerning taste.

Eh, whatever. The guy makes action blockbusters, and he makes them well. I realize it's not meant to be deep, it's meant to get 18-30 year olds to fork over their money so they can see Scarlet Johansson and car chases in the same sitting. Like Confucius always said: you can't fight Hollywood.

aldo: blindness is no laughing matter, I tell you what. They can't even see you when you flip them off.
