So Roger Ebert liked "2012"

The bottom line is: The movie gives you your money's worth. Is it a masterpiece? No. Is it one of the year's best? No. Does Emmerich hammer it together with his elbows from parts obtained from the Used Disaster Movie Store? Yes. But is it about as good as a movie in this genre can be? Yes. No doubt it will inflame fears about our demise on Dec. 21, 2012. I'm worried, too. I expect that to be even worse than Y2K.

It looks like a fun movie, especially if it's on IMAX.

Also, anyone going to this movie expecting an Oscar-worthy (read: typical lame arthouse piece) script is a fucking idiot.
 
Eberts always been big on grading movies based on what they intend to do. Unlike most other critics, he doesnt compare every movie to fucking Howards End or Remains of the Day or some shit like that.

Dont forget teh Engrish Patient.
 
So are you going to see it?
I might go to matinee today by myself since I have no friends to really speak of.
 
If my wife wanted to see it I probably would have gone. She doesnt so we wont.
 
Nah I was 50/50 on it anyway. Ill catch it when it hits tv.

Although, she is making me go see that fucking Twilight bullshit for making her go see Zombieland a few months back.

I need a divorce asap.

no matter how good the movies are she lets you see, it never makes up for any of the shit movies she puts you through.

Good for him. I hate film critics that only think a movie is good if you walk out of it so depressed you're ready to kill yourself.

Ever watch a flick that a critic said was "deep, meaningful and thought provoking" and the most interesting character suffers a shocking and meaningless death in the end? I fucking hate that shit ... I don't care if that's a "gritty portrayal of real life." If I want real frigging life I'll take a walk in Center City and dodge the homeless and dog shit.

Yeah I hate artsy drama types of movies. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is about as close as I'll get to that.

I never did make it through "No country for old men," I don't know how many times I tried to watch that flick. Hellboy or The Incredibles? Shit, I watch that trash I don't know how many times, I still love it :)

I did like No Country though. It was slow but the cat and mouse, hunter/hunted theme held my interest pretty well.
