The "I just saw a movie that doesn't warrant its own thread" (Version 2.0)

[Archer1979]

Oh snap!

[Hitman23]

That's 1898; right?

I'm trying but I just don't get it.

[JL25and3]

I'm trying but I just don't get it.

I don't even have the heart to POOC this one.

[fredgmuggs]

I don't even have the heart to POOC this one.

I'm not sure even out of context that it's actually out of context.

[penfold]

I'm trying but I just don't get it.

Just trying to say that you're a fan from wayyyy back. I'd have thought 1998 was a little late to get into the Apes series.

[Hitman23]

Wow, I got a free pass on that? Damn.

Just trying to say that you're a fan from wayyyy back. I'd have thought 1998 was a little late to get into the Apes series.

oh okay. I thought maybe you were going there but I was trying to figure out if it had anything to do with the 12/21/11 thread or maybe you were calling me old or something.

yeah I've been a fan since I was like 5 or so. It was one of the first movies I saw.

[NYDCYankee]

The Tourist is an awful movie.

[RhodyYanksFan]

The Tourist is an awful movie.

Pretty amazing deal Johnny Depp has. Always praised for his good movies, never panned for his awful ones.

[NYDCYankee]

Pretty amazing deal Johnny Depp has. Always praised for his good movies, never panned for his awful ones.

And makes quite a few awful ones.

The Tourist has all the elements of a good movie, but it is still AWFUL, which I think makes it in worse than say something like Jack & Jill which is automatically awful.

Watch in order-- first one start at 1:30--

Speaking of awful Johnny Depp movies:

[THEBOSS84]

I saw Project X...pretty solid. It was pretty much like Super Bad on steroids...as they promoted it to be. It's one of those moveis that definitely would have been more enjoyable if I still smoked weed.

I think you can say that about most things.

Ugh...that looks horrible...I kinda had high hopes for it.

[THEBOSS84]

Did you ever see a $100 bill....ON WEEEEED?!

[THEBOSS84]

21 Jump Street has received some awesome reviews. Definitely going to see it.

21 Jump Street has received some awesome reviews. Definitely going to see it.

Used to love the TV Show. Aside from kids going undercover at a HS, this looks nothing like the TV show.

Shocked it's getting good reviews. It looks pretty stupid, plus I have a rule against seeing anything with Channing Tatum.

It's not really meant to be like the TV show. It's meant to be more like Police Academy -- complete dumb@$$ comedy. From what I heard, it succeeds.

I actually want to see it but I'm already planning to leave my brain at the door.

Except it tries to build in an audience by using the name "21 Jump Street".

I don't mind "Police Academy" for 20-somethings. Hell, call it "Police Academy, 20-somethings". I just don't see the point of basing a movie on a TV show (even if only for the premise) and then having it not be anything like the TV show...

[Big_E]

Shocked it's getting good reviews. It looks pretty stupid...

My reaction as well.

[Hitman23]

Taking the kids to see Lorax tomorrow. I hope I don't fall asleep.

[philleotardo]

I hope I don't fall asleep.

Then definitely don't show them Tree of Life.

We saw 21 Jump Street last night. I laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my face several times. I never watched the show, so I can't say how it compared at all, but it was 100+ minutes of mindless entertainment. I liked it.

The trailer for Dark Shadow also piqued my interest and I'm not normally a Depp fan.
