I'm just happy to be able to share time on a site like this with all of you guys. Even if I don't always agree, it's always a good time.

So, as George Takei said (paraphrased), it's time to stop fighting against each other and band against the real enemy...Twilight.

Yeah, you did a great job, Surf. Thanks!

I'm happy with RISE winning for sure! Gotta love seeing the sci-fi films win, as opposed to the safer Oscar choices...

Thanks, buddy!

When Rise of the Planet of the Apes was announced, it was met with a mixture of fear and trepidation, the memory of a well intentioned, but utterly nonsensical Tim Burton remake still burning the eyelids of fans around the world. The first thought of many was “not again!”. Then James Franco jumped o...

Happy with the wins so far (loved Drive, Midnight, and Rise). Drive is just sweeping it up!

I do have a lot of watching to still do apparently (Tree of Life, 13 Assassins, Incendies, every doc except Bill Hicks...).

Damn, wish I had gotten here to vote on time. I would have been with NSpan all the way with SUPER (haven't seen Melancholia yet...tried to catch it at the New Bev recently, but didn't make it). That being said, if you still need it, I can do a paragraph for Rise of the Planet of the Apes (I'm a fan ...

Why did they not release Possession?

I have not watched the Swedish version yet, though I have it. I'm almost hesitant to now, due to how bored I was in the American version (and I really like Fincher's work usually).

I personally thought Dragon Tattoo would do better. I don't think it was the smash expected. I also wasn't a huge fan. Performances aside, it was pretty boring if you've already read the books (and there are plenty of films that I like along with the book, before anyone says it lol).

1. Sons of Anarchy - Straight up best thing on TV. Possibly will become the best thing EVER on TV. A biker club drama that's a Hamlet adaptation. Brilliant. This season was probably the best. There were a number of episodes, back to back, that literally left me with fingernail indentations in my pal...

I think you're pretty much correct, Busc, but a few things: I think WWZ will do reasonably well. I'm a fan of the book, and not sure of what the changes are, but saw Max Brooks talk about a year and a half ago, and he said he was pretty happy with the script at that point. Frankly, even if it does s...

Out of the ones you might see, I would recommend Black Death and Straw Dogs (a surprisingly good remake).

Been out of the loop for awhile, but I'll try to participate.

I will say out of the ones I saw, I would recommend: The Company Men American Grindhouse Sucker Punch (though I'm in the minority on this one apparently) Rango Paul Black Death I Am Scream 4 Hanna Super Meek's Cutoff American: The Bill Hicks Story (almost mandatory if you don't know much about the m...
