Terminalcoffee discussion

Always feel free to rant here. I will probably wait a couple days before I go see the Potter movie.

Let me know when you've seen it! I want to discuss. Nobody else has seen it yet.

Potter was so much fun, my 16 yr old and I have been seeing them on opening day since the first one. I got the audio tapes for her when she was to intimidated by the books as they got a little more mature for her reading level. I was disapointed when they screwed with our holiday tradition by moving it for Twilights release,but to sum it up, it was worth the wait!

Ah geez, I've heard nothing but good things about it, now I'm getting anxious to go see it.

Saw Amelie this evening. A delightful movie. Just delightful. Anyone ever seen it? Sally, you must have seen it.

You just now saw it for the first time, Larry? Delightful is a good word for it, yes!

I love Amelie. I love Audrey Tautou.

I think I love her, too.

She's got a purdy mouth.

That's one of my favorite movies, Larry. I watch it over and over.

I kind of figured that.

I saw The Hangover tonight. I had sky high expectations and was not disappointed. Also, Bradley Cooper is hot, man. I can see why the ladies and gay men dig him.

By the way, I saw the movie in a creepy, decrepit theater near Jamestown, NY, in one of those deserted malls that makes you think of zombies.

I saw The Hangover a few weeks ago. I didnt think it was going to be that good but was pleasantly surprised. Very funny...

I've got to see The Hangover, among many others that I haven't been able to go see this summer. (sigh)

But, we did just watch two pretty good movies on pay-per-view. Inkheart with Brendan Fraiser, which was much better than I thought it would be for a young adult movie, and Push with Dakota Fanning & Chris Evans, which was a good, reality-with-a-bit-of-supernatural-thrown-in kind of story. Kind of along the lines of Heroes... but not as hyped.

Re-watched Mansfield Park, The Forbidden Kingdom and One Night with the King. Love the latter. Baltar's actor has the best voice - deep and gutteral. Very different from his BSG days.

As far as TV goes...stuck on I Survived a Japanese Gameshow.

I just watched Push and thought that it was a pretty decent movie.

Amelie is one of my ten favorite films ever.

Frost/Nixon is sitting on top of my TV...I really want to see this film, but I'm having a hard time making time to see it.

I just watched Push and thought that it was a pretty decent movie. Like CS said it had a nice mix of super natural (Human) and normal day thrown together.

Recent movies I've seen are The Proposal, Public Enemies, The Hangover, and naturally HP6. I liked them all with the exception of Public Enemies. I guess my expectations were to high for that particular film.

Gus - Watch it! I thought Frost/Nixon was excellent.

Gus likes Amelie because she reminds him of me.


I just made that up (I made up the reason part, I mean. He really does say she reminds him of me).

I promised my ten year old we'd go see Transformers tonight. We went. He loved it. I feel like I need a shower to wash off the awful stink of that movie.

What a good dad.

I had to do that to a Pokemon movie once RA, I feel your pain.

Ha...thanks, Larry. And Jim, Pokemon was worse, I'm sure. This movie, at least, had Megan Fox.

Actually, Heidi's partially right. I recommended that movie to her based on that fact that Amelie does remind me of Heidi, and vice versa. I can totally see Heidi doing some of the things Amelie does.

Sarah, I did finally see Frost/Nixon last night. Frank Langella was mesmerizing as Nixon. Terrific movie!

You would expect it to be dry and cerebral, but it wasn't. Glad you liked it :)

I want to see that, too. Note to self: add to Netflix.

The DVD of Frost/Nixon has a feature that compares the film's interviews to the real interviews; the attention to detail and to the real interviews themselves is first-rate.

I'd like to see the actual interviews; I know they're available somewhere.

Google it Gus..

Saw 500 Days of Summer tonight. Very cute - a little too cute almost. Sort of treading a Pushing Daisies line, complete with voiceover. Zooey Deschanel was a little too Zooey Deschanel, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt rescued it with charm and panache. Great soundtrack, and a couple of fabulous scenes.

Don't diss that first Pokemon movie!! I loved the lil eggy character :(

j/k but I do like Eggy.

Saw Megume at an event co-sponsored by the Embassy of Japan. ADORED! Who knew that a movie could deliver a mini-vacation.

Seriously Tanja that first Pokemon movie sucked, and that's the nicest word a can think of.

I was joking! ^.^ Except that I do like the eggy character. Something about its silly simplicity zones me out. It's the happiness felt when the Philsbury Dough Boy's belly button is poked.

RA- I saw Transformers the other night also...was not too impressed

Sarah- I want to see 500 Days of Summer. I saw the preview yesterday...I just need to find a theater around here playingn it.

We went to go see Drag Me To Hell last night. It was just as delightedly campy and gross as I hoped it would be, a fine return to form for Sam Raimi who has toiled in mediocrity too long with his Spider-Man movies.

Logan, I saw that a month or two ago. @ first I wasnt sure about whether I liked it or not because of the end but all-in-all I thought it was pretty good.

I want to know when Shelock Holmes became a ninja warrior, and a feal ladies man?

Debating seeing Treeless Mountain (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1143155/) tonight or booking it for home to unwind from long work week.

I finally saw Star Trek. Man, that movie was way better than I expected. Very well done.

Just watched Coraline with the kids, way weird, but very Tim Burton, I guess I liked it

Trying to figure out where I can watch 500 Days of Summer. I'm glad you liked it, Sarah Pi. After seeing the trailers, I was very tentatively excited for it. With what looks like a musical interlude, it seemed like it would either be either completely off or fantastic.


Watched The Great Mouse Detective! Used to watch this one religiously as a child of ~3 years, but rewatching it now, I'm amazed I understood the plot at all. Mini-Sherlock Basil used words that were definitely too big for a non-English-speaking kid.

I saw Benny & Jun tonight for the first time. I know, I'm WAY behind the curve.

It was cute. Visually pleasing. Heart warming.

Not great, but good.

Welcome to the 90's Larry.

Yeah thanks.

I think that Johnny Depp fellow could go on to do some interesting stuff.

He just might.

I saw The Ugly Truth this weekend and I rented a movie this weekend called Defiance. Both were really good.

I saw the Harry Potter movie yesterday. It was good, I loved Ron under the influence of the love potion especially!
But there was so much left out, of course - it's a huuuuuge book, and there was a bit too much emphasis on showy special effects. And as in the book, we're left with an unfinished feeling.

I saw HP this weekend also, Jackie. I loved it. :) Then again, I had an 8 year old on my lap asking me to explain this and that throughout the movie... and her mother was sitting next to me texting/facebooking on her phone during the whole dang movie (same one who did that during The Hangover)... I'd like to see it again by myself so I won't have any distractions.

I also watched Tropic Thunder and Waltz with Bashir. I could've done without Tropic Thunder. In fact, I'm sure there's a reason I fell asleep while attempting to watch it the first time.

Waltz with Bashir was amazing. I was like "Whoa. Whoa. WHOA. Wow." It wasn't at all what I was expecting (I'm typically not a fan of apocalyptic, war, and/or comic features), and it far exceeded the expectations I did have. I was just mesmerized. The art direction, the graphics, the music, the story... all entrancing. GO SEE IT! Go see it NOW!!!
