The Road/Avatar

[mountainmage]

Has anyone seen either of these movies? Are they any good? Both looked pretty good, and I figured I'd ask for your opinions.

No spoilers, please.

Snape kills Dumbledore.
Vader is Luke's Father.
Rosebud is the sled he owned as a child.

[LordRetard]

It was Earth all along!

Soylent Green is people!

Snape dies, hedwig dies, voldemort dies, dobby dies...

Wait, what was this topic about?

Avatar=phenomenal. Not just because of the special effects, but because it was just took storytelling back to it's roots. It didn't try to flip archetypes and try to blow your mind with plot twists. It just took a basic story, set it in a different place, and fucking blew it out of the water. It was fantastic.

The Road= I haven't seen but I want to so so so sososososososOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBAD.

The book is my favorite book right now. And Cormac Mcarthy is my favorite author. I can't wait to read everything of his.

I just love Vigo. Err...Viggo.

[FengharTheNord]

Fucking sexy ass man. And he's got a big dick. Or at least he's a shower. I'm a grower, unfortunately. Wish I wasn't. I'd like to be able to walk around naked all the time.

I was referring to his acting, but sure whatever.

[FengharTheNord]

Oh yeah that too hahahaha. I love him in the Indian Runner. And David Morse. He's a tall glass o water he is. Love his acting as well.

My mother said I might like Cormac McCarthy. Then again, she generally assumes that I'll read anything that's depressing. Of course, I kinda do.

Yeah the road is incredibly brutal and doesn't ever let up. It's fuckin great. I still need to read his other stuff but I've thumbed through some a bit and I LOVE IT GOD. I love the way he writes. It's the best.

I saw Avatar yesterday at the IMAX theatre, I lined up for an hour with the rest of my family but it was worth it cos we got awesome seats. It was mindblowingly amazing visually, and I really enjoyed the story though it was obviously borrowing a lot of components from different sources.
But yeah, overall great film.

[mountainmage]

Well, that's one confirmed good movie. Guess I'll have to look up reviews for The Road elsewhere.

[Apocalyptus]

Maybe these will help.
