Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
10 movies nominated for best picture? I thought it was usually five?

I've only seen Avatar, Hurt Locker, and IB. All three of these movies were really good. It would be a toss up for me. I guess if I had to choose it would be hard to go against Avatar, for the sheer spectacle of the whole movie. I do want to catch most of them, Up In The Air is next on the list. |

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
I left work early yesterday b/c I've got a nasty cold, so I made it a movie day. Threw on "Watchmen" in the afternoon. I was really impressed. Very well done, good effects, and a very unique take on a superhero-type film. My only complaint was it probably didn't need to be 3.5 hrs long.
In the evening I threw on "Blow." Obviously I've seen it probably half a dozen times at this point, but I just love it. Such a bad-ass flick. Then before I went to bed I watched the Biggie Smalls biography "Notorious." Pretty solid. I had very low expectations going in. It wasn't great, but the dude who played Christopher Wallace did an excellent job.

Another graphic novel I am waiting for to be made into a movie or series on HBO, showtime, or some other pay channel is a series by Garth Ennis calle "Preacher" totally awsome and totally messed up. A story about a bastard child of an angle and demoness, a drunken vampire and a preacher in search of God to find out why he abandoned heaven...

I can't wait for "The Walking Dead" which will be airing on AMC and is being directed by Frank Durabont who also directed Shawshank Redepmtion, The Green Mile, and The Mist. I wish it was gonna be done by HBO to match the grittyness of the books, but I've heard that late night AMC shows sometimes get away with things you can't do on primetime.

Preacher (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This will give a good insight to what it is all about... Trust me the hardcore Christans will be upset with this when they discover that in the story that a secret group of Christans kept the bloodline of Christ a straight line by in-breeding the offspring....
