Probably because it is our least viewed FT episode, maybe we should watch it again, to see if we missed something.
yeah, my least favourite doesn't mean it is weak, hell I would give it 8 out of 10. But the others are simply for me so much better, or at least legendarywaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

While religion certainly can be as destructive as we see in that movie, no one knows for sure what happened to the library of Alexandria or even when. Likely it was dismantled over time due to various conflicts over the centuries. <- this is my impression from a bit of online research, but I'm no historian by any means.
Thanks, it looks like it's indeed various events according to Wikipedia, with conquests of too many peoples and religions.
As for the demotivator, they're obviously always exaggerations.Kazoo -

Certainly not. LW4 is a hoot, big fun all the way. I've seen it too many times already, the perfect ending to the series as far as I'm concerned.

Rubbish it may well be, what we get at the end of it is a very good time, and that's all that matters.
Besides you can tell the movie was made by a close circle of long-time buddies that put every effort in it to make it work.

for me, this is what I want in a movie, emotion, dynamite action and a lot of laughs and cheers.

You Don't Know Jack
Forget the awful title, this HBO movie is very impressive. Comes with quite a pedigree (Al Pacino stars, Barry Levinson directs). About "Dr Death", Jack Kevorkian, who made euthanasia an issue in the US for a while before being jailed. Hugely thought-provoking - I lay awake for hours thinking about the subject afterwards.
Superb score by Marcelo Zarvos (very Thomas Newman-like - orchestral Newman, that is) which I would love to own on CD. -

Scott Pilgrim vs The World
Well, is this quite the pleasant surprise. I kinda see it like Sin City but then for video games, making for a most original concept. I love Edgar Wright's (Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz) humor and the original concept (about a guy that has to battle the 7 ex'es of his girlfriend) is at times hilarious. But the movie is also a visual (and from what I read) audio winner. Now I see where the 60 million budget went because the effects are absolutely flawless (especially the second fight with Chris Evans shows me this aplenty).
Bro, no worries I'll show it to you (but you'll have to wait until the end of march)

I haven't seen any bad reviews for the film, the worst I read is that it was an unnecessary remake. I like Jeff Bridges ( and the Coen brothers ) a lot but I won't be seeing this until it gets released on DVDOn Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I've heard that rather than being a pure remake, they took the novel and did it anew.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

That's what I've heard too. As for the original film with John Wayne, as I've said elsewhere, I've never rated it that highly, an entertaining film with a fine score by Elmer Bernstein.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -
- CommentTimeFeb 15th 2011
The plot is just so hokey. Jeff Bridges isn't John Wayne which was probably bad for me going in.

I've never been able to see the charm of John Wayne. He didn't appear to have much of a range either, unlike Jeff Bridges.

Jeff Bridges is, IMO, one of the great American actors, John Wayne, like Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson was very good at doing what he did, which was being John Wayne.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Jeff Bridges is an outstanding actor. He was a lot more versatile than Wayne could ever have been. Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart, Fabulous Baker Boys, Fisher King, Morning After and I even liked Tucker, King Kong, and Seabiscuit. But this film along with Mirror Has Two Faces and 8 Million Ways To Die were awful. Tommy Lee Jones if he had been available would have been more suitable but alas he wasn't.
Maybe I just couldn't get passed the use of no contractions in the dialog or the female lead who looked as believable as Sharon Stone in the Quick and the Dead.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Liked it. A fine script, complex in structure yet easy to follow, even if the subject matter was completely alien to me. I never understood the whole facebook thing and I don't care about its existence, though the film foremost tells the story of what goes on with the people that came up with the idea, facebook is just the background layer of the film. Performance-wise nothing to remark, except all main parts were played to perfection. And I'm shocked to see those weren't real twins. I was totally fooled. And Timberlake plays a very memorable part. Shows the guy is very talented.
This movie went by at breakneck speed, and that's a good thing, shows the structure and plot were crafted to perfection, and the momentum of the storytelling never slowing down.
As for the score... It's quite simple, I will NEVER listen to it outside of the film, I will not waste my precious time by doing so.
So will I watch it again? Most likely, there's something underneath the surface of this film that makes it worth it to see multiple times."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -
