Title: Get Smart Is a Good Movie... And I'm Seeing The Dark Knight FOR FREE!
Post by: menace64 on June 26, 2008, 09:18:00 PM
Because of some incompetent projectionist who put something in front of the projector for the last 10 minutes of Get Smart, I now hold an Apology Pass which lets me see any movie - at any time - whether or not the movie allows passes.

I cannot wait for The Dark Knight.

Yeah, that happened to us once. There was some hair or something on the screen for a few minutes, so we got a "golden ticket" to a free flick. :up:

I look forward to seeing both of those...though my wife has already told me she's not thrilled about Dark Knight.

Batman Begins was the best recent superhero movie, IMO. (I haven't seen Iron Man yet).

Iron Man wins out.  Its just alot of fun.  Incredible Hulk was also very good.

I'm hoping to see Wall-E tomorrow.  I wasn't really excited about it... but it is Pixar.  Now that Rotten Tomatoes is giving it 98% fresh I'm excited.  :)

Batman Begins was just deeper than most superhero movies. And a little dark. Is Incredible Hulk a sequel or independent of the other "Hulk" movie that came out a few years back?

Pixar still hasn't done much wrong in my book (Cars and Monsters, Inc. were my least favorites). I'm hoping that once they get big(ger) they won't sell out to Disney (in an ideological sense). They are slated to release quite a few movies in the next few years.

Incredible Hulk is independent from the "Hulk" of 5 years ago.  I just found it more enjoyable all around than its predecessor.  Again not on the same level as Iron Man, BBegins etc, but still a good view.

Pixar ftw!

pixar is amazing...they just keep getting better...as long as they still original they should be fine.

BBegins is awesome...and though this new one seems more creepy still good...
I saw the birds yesterday ;)

Hitchcock was a genius. A mad genius, but a genius nonetheless.

I'm gonna be honest. I didn't like The Birds. I saw Rear Window and loved it, but The Birds... meh. Liked the ending, but other than that, not so much.

Want to see WALL-E, and Dark Knight is going to be amazing. Iron Man gave BBegins a run for it's money, too. I dunno which I like better. BBegins is pretty deep. Heck, despite being a superhero pulp popular movie, it still managed to be a 'great.' Just read an article on Yahoo that claims that, after seeing a press screening, Ledger's performance as Joker is even more brilliant than expected.

Alright. sorry to dredge up an old topic, but I just saw Get Smart, and loved it.

Okay, yeah, that's all I got.

Loved Wall-E, going to see Hellboy II hopefully this weekend.  Geez so many good movies this summer.   :D

Dark Knight is already getting rave reviews.  One reviewer said its right up there with all the best crime flicks out there (The Untouchables, The Departed...).  Can't wait.  :popcorn:

Yeah, the midnight showing of Batman is already completely sold out up here. Tickets just went on sale, too.  And we were hoping to go. I'm sure as heck not gonna go to a 3:00am showing. So I guess it's Monday evening for us.

Just saw Hulk.
It wasn't great, but it was mildly entertaining. Never did like the Hulk, though. I liked the Captain America references, though, and the end bit with Tony Stark.

I wore my leather jacket and authentic fedora to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. ;)

I have yet to see Get Smart OR Incredible Hulk. And now Dark Knight is about to hit...GAH! I'm falling way too far behind. :'(

Yeah Prince Caspian was good.  Enjoyed it about the same as the first one.  Hopefully I'll be seeing both Hellboy II and Batman within a week.

Heh heh. My cousin just walked into the room. Exact quote:

"Hey, guys. You might be interested in this. There's a very good chance I'm going to be seeing The Dark Night tomorrow at midnight. That’s a result of me knowing people. You know people too. You know me."

So I said that if he could get tickets, I'd pay up to $12 for a midnight showing seat. SWEET!



Caspian was fun. Dark Knight is pretty much the last movie of the year (that I know of) that I'm interested in. Unless Star Trek is coming out this year. I keep forgetting when it's coming out.

Whoa...

Just saw Dark Knight.

It's good.
It's really good.

It's also not at all like I was expecting it to be, but that's okay, because it was still excellent. I didn't like the ending at first, but by the end of the ending, I loved it.

Saw it sunday night. Amazing movie, I think Ledger has posted a performance to make we remember him forever. Just... amazing. Didn't quite like the discontinuation of Rachel Dawes, which got replaced by another actress, but hey, things like taht happen eventually, right? Still didn't like her very much in the role.

Post by: FingolfinFinwe on July 23, 2008, 06:00:46 AM
See now I'm the other way around :).  I really don't care for Katie Holmes, so I was happy that Maggie G replaced her.  Overall.. this movie beat out Wall-E as my top movie of the year.  I need to see it again to say for sure, but I think its going to crack my top ten of all time.  Very dark and sadistic, but just extremely well done.  It is so good that it doesn't really feel like a comic movie as much as a movie similar to the very best gangster movies (The Departed, Untouchables).

Oh and Hellyboy II was great as well.  Better than the first, but similar in that it's just alot of action and fun.  Great environments and GREAT creativity in this one.  deserves the 88% fresh from Rotten Tomatoes.

Yup, though i do believe it should have been called The Joker, rather than Batman cos ledger is the guy who made that film. What a rockin character!
