Watch 'The Road' - it's better. Actually, the book is even better than the movie. One of the best books in a loooong time actually.
I havenot seen book of eli but i would like to see it. I thought the preview made it look awesome, but it is getting hit hard by reveiws.
The Road was a very cool movie, but I think they are probably two totally different movies. The road was depressing as hell apocalyptic drama. I think the book of eli is supposed to be a fun action type movie.

The Book of Eli didn't get a press release over here. Any movie that doesn't get a press release, without fail, is always shit. I'm still going to see it though coz it looks like brainless fun, and I get cinema for free
Plus, I don't like going to movies by myself. I feel like everyone is looking at me saying "poor guy". :oops:
I'll probably wait for the blu-ray.
I would not worry about that stuff man. I don't
I go by myself alll the time because my friends like shitty movies and if i want to see a good one in the theatre i have to go myself. I usually hit them up early saturday or sunday moring or go at night after dinner during the slow nights of the week. The theatres are usually not very full.

No go for it. Don't worry what others think. WGAF.
I saw a TV ad for Book of Eli and it showed Denzel walking in slow motion (original) and a rocket hitting a building. I'll give it a miss. Go and see Sherlock Holmes.. great fun.

as for going to movies alone, get over yourself. sat and sun afternoons are a great time to catch a flick. theater is empty. even if you go to a prime time showing, nobody really cares.

i guess the older you get, the less you care
Exactly. But I'm only 27...so I don't know if that's considered old to you senior citizens. But yeah, stay away from the big theaters too. Great for hangovers too. Dark room, no people, a couple brews for the hair of the dog, a gatorade, and a soft pretzel. Boom.
and fuck me if I say somethin you dont wanna hear, fuck me!
and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear
fuck me...if I care...but im not leavin here
haven't seen 'the road' yet, i will be sure to when it is out on dvd (if it isn't already!)
wolf don't stress about seeing a movie alone, i've done it myself, sometimes there are movies that only one wants to see, once the movie starts it don't matter anyway
i'm more intrigued to see this because gary oldman is in it, he's fantastic

i don't much remember that year, being old an all, but i do recall catching Terminator 3 which would been 03 when i was like 29 or so. i know i went to ones before that by myself. some of hte best times to go are noon on sunday, or any afternoon showing during a non holiday week day. you'll practically have the theater to yourself.
anyways, there is nothing wrong going alone. sometimes it's nice to spend time doing stuff by yourself.

i think i started going to movies alone when i was like 17. that was when i started getting into silent movies and foreign flicks, and either nobody i knew wanted to see them or the friend that i did have that was interested wasn't free. i don't think you should ever hold yourself back from doing something simply because you have to do it on your own, it's only a couple of hours anyway

You don't worry about it, but make a point of going when it's dead in the theatres? :P
I've never done it myself....I wouldn't care about the people I didn't know...it's running into people I DID know that wold make me feel dumb But...if I really wanted to see something and couldn't find anyone to go with, I'd do it fer sure....might have to for Avatar, as I'm the only person left in the world that hasn't seen it.
I think Book of Eli looks alright....it's not a book it's a weapon! lol...bad tagline...but I like the bleak-looking visuals. The Road should be good...Viggo's a good actor, and the book was really good (tho, as stated, depressing as fuck!)

i haven't seen avatar yet if that makes you feel any better!
my thinking is just, who cares what anybody thinks, i must have been old ahead of my time or something lol
and for someone mentioning sherlock holmes, i'm boycotting that movie. i am a huge fan of the sherlock holmes stories, and that movie looks like a straight up atrocity. blegh!
that tagline book of eli could either be awesome or awesomely cheesy. i'm down with cheese, anything to distract me works!
it was alright. nothing amazing but i'm a sucker post apocalyptic crap. i cant wait for the end of the world! its gonna be awesome.
i figure a lot of people will have a problem with the religious angle, but its not more religious than Avatar, just different mythology, so to speak.
and i goto movies alone because i want to. i cant stand going with friends or on a date. i goto watch movies, and cant stand it when the other person constantly looks at me like they hate it or whatever. just leave me alone!

I saw the movie last night with a few friends and I gotta say this movie is pretty bad imo. The cinematography was pretty cool but everything else was kinda bad. I mean literally the script must have been no more than 10 pages. There was no real story. I mean it's like the person who wrote it didn't care to try to get the moviegoers into the world. The fight scenes were cool but they were kinda few and far between. The so called twist was bullshit, that's all I'm gonna say. I wouldn't waste my money. That's just my two cents.
The fight scenes are limited, but the ones that are there are very good. I thought Denzel did a very good acting job, but others around him were not very strong at all.
In the end dont see this if you are looking for a film with movie of the year type quality. The plot has some holes in it, but it had enough good stuff going for it that made it enjoyable.
Worth seeing, but you dont' have to see it in the theatre.

good action which is all you should be lookin for if yer goin to this movie
and of course you got denzel playin badass like as well as he ever does. not my fave gary oldman character but he does play the villain oh so well and does not disappoint here
go for it its good
and fuck me if I say somethin you dont wanna hear, fuck me!

The biggest reason i don't go on Friday and Saturday nights is because the movie theatre is usually crowded and i run the chance of having a rude person sit next to me that is why i typically don't see movies on Friday or Saturday nights.
It is not that i never go. I actually went and saw Sherlock holmes by myself a couple saturdays ago at the 8pm showing because i had nothing else going on.

I'm reading The Road right now. So far it's been a hundred pages of bleak depression. But Cormac McCarthy is a solid writer so it works.
Now I'm not sure.

Go to matinees at like 11 or 12 on the weekends. The best. And bring 2 or 3 brews with you. No shame at all.

Exactly. But I'm only 27...so I don't know if that's considered old to you senior citizens. But yeah, stay away from the big theaters too. Great for hangovers too. Dark room, no people, a couple brews for the hair of the dog, a gatorade, and a soft pretzel. Boom.
i'll report back later
and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear
