I loved it!

Had a lo-Tech weekend so we went to the movies.

I'm sure critics will say this and say that but I always march to the beat of my own drummer when it comes to entrertainment. That's all it is, entertainment, no social message, no this is how history went down, yadda yadda.

It is a view of somebody's imagination and I feel it was done well. I was even impressed during a certain scene that if you saw what they did, it would make you appreciate the attention to deatail. And it was during a non-fight scene, very classy.

Besides, what's not to like?

Hot chicks, nice weapons, CQB, mechs, samauri stautes with shoulder fired rocket and a min-gun, killin' natzies and a bitching soundtrack.

three thumbs up (ok, maybe the third one is not a thunmb :D)

If this movie shows in 3D at an IMAX theater within the range of my car, I'll be going to see it again. It's *that* pretty.

Why is it important that the theater be so close to your car? :p

After reading your synopsis, it does sound a bit more interesting than I gave it credit for. I'd probably see it now that I know there are zombies in it.

It was great for what it is, and Scott Glenn was hilarious.

this..

Saw it on Friday and I like it more with every passing day. Although you self-important, hipsters film critic wanna-bes will never agree with me on this (or admit it if you did), this movie was good. Not just in a visual way (although the visuals were superlative), but in the general sense of it being far better than it had any right to be. I went in with high visual expectations and very little else but came out having thoroughly enjoyed myself for the better part of two hours. It's got a lot of things going for it:

  • Graphically it's f**king stunning, both from a cinematography standpoint and the use of motion
  • The soundtrack is solid
  • Scott Glen is awesome
  • Turns out Emily Browning is an actual actress (who knew?)

None of this even addresses what this movie is fundamentally about: beautiful, young lingerie models who use machine guns, rocket launchers and samurai swords to fight hordes of zombies, robots and dragons while gorgeously rendered steampunk environments inexplicably explode and collapse around them. At another level it's about a wrongly imprisoned and abused woman in a mental institution who uses fantasy to empower her to escape before a doctor arrives in 5 days to lobotomize her, so the requisite amount of darkness is there as well.

edit:

And who would've ever thought the little girl from Lemony Snickets had this voice?

Took me going back after the movie to realize that it was Babydoll singing Sweet Dreams at the beginning. Very good soundtrack and how it integrated into the movie.

downloading right now....:)

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
