Finally rented it and saw it. I was prepared to be disappointed, what with all the hype.

Wow.

It was really, really good. The last minute or so during Portman's answer to the cop about "who was he" in regards to V was kind of goofy, but the rest of the movie was nicely done.

seeing parliamnet blowed up disturbed me. I was surprised that I actually reacted, but I did.

props to the director.

i thought it was pretty good. got to see it on the big ass old time super screens at a threatre here in Boulder....not one of the little 24 screen theatre jobs.

this thing is huge...like Revenge of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark premier huge.

I netflix most stuff. The only reason I go to the theatre is to see a big blow up film on one of the big screens mentioned above.

Problem is its the closest theatre to the 'hood, so we get a lot of the types that talk at the screen.

That's what ushers are for. 'Round these parts they'll give people one warning and then toss them if they won't shut up.

Yeah- but if the one by Bace's place is like the on I used to go to all the time- it got so bad they had to bring in State Troopers on Friday and Saturday nights b/c of how loud and violent it could get. I myself got into one scuffel b/c the friggin' melanzanes sittin' behind me when he kept kicking my wife's seat. The only time I return there is when I go to see films that I guarentee the eyes and teeth crowd wouldn't want to see.

dayumn. "eyes and teeth crowd"
that shit is funny to me.

I live in a decent part of town. Problem is all the theatres in the hood closed because poor people don't seem to take care of shit, and don't mind shitting on other people's shit. Thusly the closest theatre left for the hood rats is mine (so long as they can get the gas money).

Along with the giant screen for the blockbusters, we usually have one dedicated to Soul Food or Sisters or some other ethnocentric feature. If the audience is mixed racially, most everyone behaves. If I am one of two whites in the entire theatre, it is a different dynamic. I was seeing one movie once and was sitting peacefully until someone sat in front of me and rocked their chair way back... back into back row middle's long legs. This lady turned around as if I had done something wrong. "What's your damn problem?" she asked.

"I'm sitting here and not moving until you come ramming into my legs. What's your damn problem?" I responded because I'm large, gorgeous and not about to let attitude go unpunished. 5'3'' with a weave was not about to let a white boy talk that way to her so she tried to rally the other patrons around her against me. Didn't work. It was a black movie, but an artsy black movie. I kept telling her to shut up and watch the movie.

I did not get shot that night.

Wow. I shouldn't laugh at that shit but I did/am cause it is verrah funny. No doubt, I will probably use that and claim it as my own. Thank you BBMarley.

Bace, the last three films I saw in a theater were "Clerks II," "Strangers With Candy," and "Beerfest," all decidedly un "eye and teeth" films. I tend to see new releases that will have a dark hue to many of its patrons during the middle of the week and usually the last show of the night. I'm notorious for not taking women on Friday/Saturday night movie dates because as I've found out from frequenting suburban theaters, Mr. Charlie can sometimes be as loud and inconsiderate as the eye and teeth crowd. So, I've taken steps to avoid every motherfucker possible at the theater.

If you cats insist on going to see big, blockbuster movies on the weekends, you go at you own peril. Caveat Emptor bitches.

I saw V for Vendetta on a 42 inch tv with surround sound. That, along with the fact that it was only my lady and me watching the film made me realize that I probably had a superior experience than any I would have had in the theater. The blowing up of the Old Bailey was pretty spectacular viewing with my home theater.

Natalie Portman with a bald head looks better than many bitches with long hair.

Drumline or Belly?

I laughed.

I'm not saying the poor are the only shitty movie crowd. As Vic mentioned, sitting around a group of teenagers who are seeing a movie on a Friday night sux. I remember seeing Panic Room and being all rustered at the wife because we were late and had to sit in the front row. Thankfully that bitch took her time getting ready because n the back was a group of teenage boys wif the cell phones and giggling and fart noises trying to impress somebody. Friday night sux.

Also, daytime arthouse flicks have old people in them. I wanted to hear Royal Tenenbaums, but all I witnessed was old people complaining about the air-conditioning and the volume not being loud enough. UNWAR.

Speaking of shitty, artsy, ethnic movies, this, as someone else said, is Drumline without the marching bands and Nick Cannon.

It is truly a fucking disgrace when the consortium of schools which contains my alma mater let shit like this get made on their grounds and with their permission.

It is even more of a shame when one of the members of the Divine Nine National Pan-Hellenic Council let themselves be a party to such tripe.

All parties involved should be ashamed of themselves and be forced to "take wood" on national television.


I'm still going to see it. Who wants to come with me?
