I'll grant you there were obvious things changed to make it a concise 2 and half hour Hollywood movie. But I just didn't think it was all that good. It was nominated for an Oscar. Really? Boring.

While I enjoyed seeing hollywoods version of this story, I agree, I completely baffled that this had oscar buzz.
Compliance. It's based on true events, and thus the most fucked up disturbing movie I've ever seen. Based specifically on a mcdonalds in Kentucky. A call comes in saying from a man saying he is a cop, and that one of the employees stole something. He's asks the manager on duty to bring the 18 year old girl into her office and strip search her when the store gets busy she calls In Her 50 something fiancé to come watch the girl. Gets more disturbing from there
very fucked up story! weird movie too. Based on real events I believe. :shock:
Terribly sad and disturbing. I don't think I can ever go to SeaWorld again.
You should absolutely boycott SeaWorld, and tell your friends. After seeing that movie, I'm never going to any aquarium that keeps any sea mammals at all. I'm done with supporting anything like that. No more zoos or aquariums for me. I always had an issue with them, and hadn't been to any zoo in years, and that movie was my ultimate tipping point I guess. Complete boycott of all institutions that keep wild animals in captivity. It's just wrong. Any money spent on tickets and concessions at those places can be donated to IFAW instead.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

perfect movie for a Saturday night, lots of laughs and dumb gags, absolutely no story

The Conjuring, has it's scary moments but it did get way to OTT near the end. Seen scarier movies.

I'm in the minority too -- I didnt even like the first one. I found it too annoying when they said there were no teams.
Then they could have teams.
Then there were no teams again.
Can we have teams? no/ Maybe later. :? :fp:
But when you have an ultra hip cast that poops gold plated piles, I guess you cant go wrong.
Funny thing is, its kinda an original idea that feels very unoriginal for some reason.

Haven't seen Catching Fire yet, but I didn't think the first one was anything to get in a tizzy about. It was definitely entertaining, but nothing super special or anything. I don't really get why there is as much hype as there is.

I liked this movie when it was called The Running Man.

The Running Man sucks shit (read the book - it's great and nothing at all like the movie. Not even close).
Please, no matter how good the book is, you can not argue against Richard Dawson, Arnold, Jesse Ventura, Mick Fleetwood, Dweezil Zappa and Jim Brown in the same damn movie. Whoever was the casting agent for that film needed to be given some sort of special academy award.

Really enjoyed it. Thought it was creative and funny. Don't know about a sequel though. Although, I never do.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Extended Edition ... all of them in a row.
I lost feeling in my butt by the time the battle for Gondor started.
I make sure to do that once every couple years. I already told my lady, we are waiting until all the Hobbit extended versions are out on home video to watch it all in one epic viewing

We're The Millers...based on the hype...I thought it would have been funnier.
Started Hangover 3...after 20 minutes I decided I was too tired to finish it.
