and don’t you know the golden rule of horror movies is for the black guy to die first, yeesh.
you’re right no where near as good as the first, but for a horror movie it’s not bad[/quote]
I did watch it all of the way through though so it is “watchable”.
Now, Drag Me To Hell was bad ass. I am glad the director seemed to match or outdo the living dead movies with this even though I didn’t like the guy playing her boyfriend (his acting was fine, but he just seemed real weak).
I am also watching the first season of Fringe (never seen it before) and it is decent at least near the level of X-Files so far.
possible spoiler alert (like there’s someone alive today and reading this forum who hasn’t seen the movie yet…)

I haven’t. But it’s all good - my boycotting of Channing Tatum movies continues unabated.
It’s good to know that his crimes against acting have finally received the recognition they deserve. Now all we have do is convince teenage girls and Hollywood casting directors…
Ex-Abercrombie models should not, under any circumstances, headline big-budget movies…

Who the hell is Channing Tatum and which god did he piss off to end up with that kind of name?
Wait, we are talking about a male, right?

I haven’t seen it yet and I usually reserve actually going to a theater for the big ones like Dark Knight. As it stands, I get a better movie experience at home.

Channing Tatum is the walking personality bypass that played Duke in the G.I Joe movie. I suppose his total lack of acting ability was quite appropriate given that his character is based on a toy.
As for his name, I can only assume that his parents hated him as much as I do…
If Angry Vader was here right now he’d be killing himself laughing…I’ve despised Tatum waaay before he was cast in G.I Joe. The only good thing about his continued success is that even more people will hate him. I’ve got nothing against the guy, but he has no discernable talent whatsoever. Surely an acting career requires a little thing called acting ability?
It’s like telling a toddler to wash up for dinner only to hand them a scalpel and throw them into the middle of a heart transplant operation - it’s just wrong.
I’ve seen people on other forums admit that he sucks but still defend him by saying that “he’ll improve”. No, he won’t.
No words can express how much this guy annoys me. However, this pic does. Apologies in advance for images of extreme douchebaggery…

Ew. Hm. Why didn’t they just hire a bunch of bodybuilders/other strength athletes to play the male GI. Joes? I mean, the roles require very little acting ability as it is… And GI Joe guys were always muscular in the comics from what I remember, or at least in the “better” GI Joe incarnations. The actors in the movie, even the “big” and supposedly “british” black guy imo looked like the metro version…
Andy Haman would be perfectly suited for a role there lol (seriously, he DOES have much more acting talent/skill than the guy with the drag-queen-from-outer-space-name who played Duke.

I’ve heard Mark Walhberg was first choice for Duke. Clearly he had better things to do with his time.

I was watching, thinking Marky Mark would be good for this role

Yeah, if Duke was angry and confused all the time. Asking people “How’s your mother?”
Ghostbusters 1 and 2 - is there any better way to spend a day in bed sick then watching these back to back ? Also, im the rare person that enjoys 2 more, probably because I was obsessed with it as a child, some of my first memories are watching it. I got the jumpsuit, the proton pack and everything, I wore the jumpsuit for 3 weeks in a row at one point, my mom would have to wash it when I slept, if I was awake, I was wearing it.
Brothers Solomon - liked it enough to buy the DVD for 5 bucks at Blockbuster, though I will honestly watch anything Will Arnett is in.
Last night, I made two of the biggest mistakes of my life: the first was renting Rottweiler; the second was watching it to the bitter end. The publicity blurb pitched it as “the story of a dog who was beaten severely at a young age and has surgery, in which it’s bones are replaced with metallic bones.”, I thought it would be a sort of old-school revenge thriller with a cybernetically enhanced pooch as the ‘hero’. Sounded interesting at the time. I was wrong.
Turns out that the dog was the villain, was not seeking revenge as it hadn’t been beaten at a young age and had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, even thought the director (Brian Yuzna, who should know better) tried to even the playing field by casting a guy so devoid of screen presence that the camera closed in on his ass more than his face.
Basically, take Terminator, throw in a dog and take out all the good bits. The only plus I can think of is that this cinematic stink bomb marks the screen debut of a bona-fide star in the making. The future of acting is here, and it’s chicken-shaped. In one small cameo, this feathered phenomenon demonstrates more emotional range than Channing Tatum has managed in his entire career to date. Prepare yourselves for the best breakthrough performance since Sharlto Copely in District 9:
That clip pretty much is the highlight of the movie.
