wow I totally messed that up. can a mod move this into the game thread.
also silver it was a more general question for anything wii related. if i want to hack it I know where to look. I was more interested in games and such. Anyone have the new Mario Bros game?
i heard it was good, if you want to check out a shooter the conduit is supposed to be pretty great. i have not played my wii in a while. limited my game purchasing, and i already beat everything i own so its a rough cycle till a game comes out i want
Shutter Island was great. Leo has limitless range and a lot of the camera work is classic Scorsese. The answer is really in the question so the reveal isn't what's memorable so much as how it's handled.
I actually might go and see the Karate Kid. Which should have been named the kung fu kid.
i picked up carriers, franklyn, and assassination of a highschool president last night, hoping to watch em all this weekend.
Precious was wow. I don't even know how to explain my feelings with that movie. It took 3 days for the power of the story to fade from my mindset. I woke up the day after watching it thinking about it. crazy stuff. highly recommended.
Date Night is hilarious. I thought it would have a couple laughs but it was funny through the whole thing. Worth the ticket price if you're looking for a mindless comedy.
Highly overrated. Brutal yes, but culturally eye-opening no. If you didn't know abused ignorant people raise abused ignorant people well... maybe you should see it. Monique definitely deserved the award.Quote:

I don't know that I'd call Precious highly overrated. Powerful, provocative subject matter, perfectly cast and presented in a way that makes the whole product that much more memorable.
^ definitely agree with that.
It's a movie, not a product. What does provocative mean anyway? What did it provoke you to do?
it made him feel bad for a few hours then he bought $200 loafers

- It excited my thought process about an area of the socio-economic world that I can't possibly relate to.
- It stimulated my sense of compassion for those able to rise above their circumstances, no matter how desperate.
Then I went out and bought $125 loafers at a rate of 41% off while others on this board were busy looking for "Mother's Day specials" on where to find the PS3 version of The Legend of Zelda VIII with free overnight delivery. :rolleyes:
are you really trying to argue that movies don't provoke anything?Quote:

Criticizing someones loafers is a provocation in my book.
Heh, yeah I'd say that falls under the classic definition.
assassination of a highschool president was a fun movie with tons of quotable lines.
