Re: Best 2011 movies
The latter applies to the former as well; it seems
The new Sherlock Holmes movies are amazing; unless you like the books they based them off of, since they changed a lot of things it seems

Re: Best 2011 movies
1) Sucker Punch
2) Thor
3) X-Men First Class
4) Rise of the Planet of the Apes
5) Deathly Hallows Part 2
No good horror movies came out this year, so that's my list. I also haven't seen the American Remake of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" yet, so this is liable to change if that's any good. Also, the last one was really a toss up between HP and Captain America, but I really only liked that movie because it was basically an extended preview for the Avengers.

Red State was pretty good, as was Hugo. There were quite a few good movies out this year that I liked.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
Fright night was a good comedy/horror flick, though I never saw the original it was apparently a cult-classic of sorts. Adding a vampire slaying Doctor (Sorry folks, everybody has their favorite and mine's Tennant) certainly must have made it better.
Also, I haven't seen it yet but the prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing was released a couple of months ago and I have high hopes for it. Being the follow up as it were to IMHO Carpenter's greatest film, and one of my all time favorite horror movies. (LOL not the B&W one with the carrot from space)

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
The new "The Thing" was actually rather good, set up Carpenter's version nicely.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
Just watched it, and I have to agree. Though it doesn't seem to focus on the paranoia aspect as much as the original, it's very faithful to it. The special effects were excellent, managing to make the creastures quite grotesque and even mildly realistic. Also I was quite excited to see the actually used the alien ship, instead of just being like 'okay it's there, but there's this hole in the ice over here that's MUCH more interesting'
And while we're talking about Carpenter. Has anyone else seen In the Mouth of Madness? I ask because I'd like to know if I'm not the only one that thought it was just 2 hours of Carpenter furiously stroking his own ego.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
South Korean film about the Korean war. Interesting timing for its release, wonder how it'll turn out to be.
Regardless of any politics that may or may not be behind it, looks like a pretty good movie.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
Part 2 of Resident Evil reveal day
The fifth movie. Regardless on your feelings for this franchise, interesting timing for the first trailer. Still, I don't mind the series. Nice to sit back and turn my brain off for an hour and a half or so.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????????
There is no resident evil without him! Sure you could bring him back, but after making such a big deal about his death in the last movie it just doesn't work for me. It'd be like The Legend of Zelda without Gannon Mario without Bowser! Sonic without Robotnik!
I really didn't think they were going to make another.
P.S. Anyone else come close to orgasming at that death scene? After so many years of impotent rage I could barely contain myself!

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
Considering Wesker was only really in the last movie, with a cameo in the third, I think the movies can move on well enough. Besides, the games are doing it as well.
And wasn't there a recent Zelda game without Ganon?

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
Not sure, haven't kept up with the latest Zelda game, or the handhelds. But I do know there have been mario games without bowser. The point is that the character exists as a persistent rival/enemy throughout the series, as much of an important part of the universe as the protagonist.
Besides that, Wesker is resident evil. Capcom has made him the Big Bad, and the way they went about it, pretty much made him the single reason bad shit happens in the RE universe.

Re: Random movie talky stuff.
They killed Wesker in Resident Evil 5, but that's not stopping them from making a Resident Evil 6.

They killed a Wesker. There's still the chance of the "deceased" Weskers as well as the "Unknown" Wesker.

Lies! Wesker's like piccolo and cell. All he needs is a single goddamned atom left and he's back.
