Are they planning on making the rest of them? If so, how are they going to do The Horse and his Boy in a way which stays true to the book and doesnt come of incredibly racist?
elphaba2
Hmm--that is a puzzle. They'll probably skip over that one--or add appendages to the racistly-portrayed types and turn them into "fantasy creatures", a la Star Wars.

It's been Film Week over here at my house, an enjoyable time during which my brother and I rent a lot of old movies and watch them. We screened:

-Rebel Without a Cause: I had thought it would be kitschy and pointless, but this is a really excellent movie. James Dean rocks my world (even if he is a sausage and a sellout now)

-Lord of the Flies: very scary if only because of the strange, stilted acting of the main characters. Their not-so-awesome delivery of the lines somehow makes it more real-seeming, and Ralph was pretty and skinny (and the actor was 16--stop looking at me like that). But yeah, good movie.

and

-the first two Star Wars movies. Yay for childhood memories (though I'm certainly not old enough to recall its being in theaters) and for the heroism of Han Solo (who was by far the coolest).

I have got into Bleach as of late. Downloading Episodes 1-25 as I type this.

I watched The Chronichles yesteday. WOW! I have to admit that I was VERY impressed, though any film that makes me want to cry at the start is impressive.

At the moment the TV is playing Open All Hours. Funny as.... ah well.

...I watched dukes of hazard...for the 100th time....and I have family like them xD

I finally got to see Serenity and liked it very much, though I maybe could have done with fewer "final words from a dying person" scenes.

I watched about four episodes of 'Extras' on DVD at my sister's last night. I missed them when they were first aired. They were pretty good.
Mata
Sues and I watched Kung Fu Hustle last night. It's a very daft and rather surreal kung fu movie with a fair amount of inspiration from western martial arts effects, in particular the hundred Agent Smith fight in the second Matrix film. It achieves some fantastic fights and effects on a budget that was probably considerably smaller than that single fight in The Matrix and manages to make you care more about the characters while doing it. If you like kung fu silliness then I highly recommend it.

Meh, it was alright biggrin.gif

I recently watched Anchorman as I have heard so many good things about it, and how terribly funny it is. I was quite dissappointed as I found it rather boring- perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood for it. It just seemed to be forced- as though they knew what they were doing was funny and so everyone would laugh- but it just seemed a little stale.

I have also re-watched Oliver Stone's The Doors after reading Jim Morrison's biography. It is still a fantastic film- you can really feel the mood of the piece change dramatically throughout; from the start which is pretty mellow but upbeat, to the pinacle of The Doors career which is buzzing and vibrant, to the sadness of their downfall and the increase of Jim's drug abuse- but it is interesting to see just how inaccurate it is to the real story.

I would reccomend both, especially the latter!

I just finished watching Series 1 & 2 of Scrubs. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard, ever.

<3 Sarah Chalke.

Watching....the news! And how they keep going on and on about a tornado warning here...

I've been watching The Exorcist over and over and over since New Years Eve. I figure if I watch it enough, it'll cease to frighten me and I'll be able to sleep at night.

Now if only I could find a way to exorcise my little sister from the den...

Yes, I realise that was a dumb joke.
ShadowWolfenNinja
I love that movie...

I watched scurbs just now, twas fun.
Star_of_Lei
Just watched The Translator. Loved it. Nicole Kidman's accent was amazing.

At the moment dad's watching some motor cross race thingy. Meh, who cares?
ShadowWolfenNinja
Watched two weeks notice over at my Mom's with my little sister. Funny, Yet odd
Mata
Has anyone else seen the Japanese high school film Ping Pong? It's very good, if rather odd. It's like a king fu film where all the kung fu has been replaced with slow-motion games of ping pong. I saw it on BBC3 yesterday. It was really very entertaining. If you only ever watch one film about ping pong in your life, let it be this one!
Kitty
Started watching Naked Lunch.... decided I was bored and got very tired of watching movies alone, so I sent it back =( If you're into watching alot of people get high on yellow powder thats supposed to kill bugs, and erm.... a fairly loose plot, go for it....
PsychWardMike
Right now? I'm watching Invader Zim on DVD. I've been watching Crubs Season 2 on DVD for a while, too.

Just finished watching Firefly the first (and only) series. Boo to Fox for canning the show Boo and hiss i say.
Matthew
Wow! How weird!
Anna and I just finished watching all of the Firefly box-set last night...

I second the boo's and raise the hiss's!!

I mean 'STARGATE SG-POOPY's' still going! What gives?
Mata
You leave Stargate out of this! I love Stargate! It's got lots of daft one-liners in it. Equally, the one episode I've seen of Firefly was very good, so it's a shame it's gone, but don't take your anger out on poor ickle Stargate or I'll get Sues to poke you next time we see you tongue.gif
Novander
I'm almost half-way through my stargate addiction. I had some downloaded eps, but they were terrible quality so I've actually been buying the boxsets.

It's January, so american TV has stopped being silly and started showing new TV stuff again. Hooray for the continuation of Desperate Housewives, Lost and Numb3rs, and an even bigger cheer for series 5 of Scrubs and 24
ShadowWolfenNinja
Saw Glory road today. Was a good movie ^w^
pixie
Life on Mars on BBC 1 at the moment is pretty cool.

It's about a modern policeman who finds himself back in 1973, and far better than I make it sound.
bryden42
Ems and I loved Firelfy then again we loved Stargate (up to season 6 which is where we got to)

*glare*

Bryden, depending on what you liked about Stargate then you may or may not like series 7,8 & 9. I like the new series, there are new baddies, which rock, but they havn't got Jack anymore, they do have the main character from Farscape in it though, they're quite entertaining (well her more so than him...).
ShadowWolfenNinja
Watching the...badger thingy....

Lost Season Two started again last week after its Christmas break. Last week's was Episode Ten, in which [edit by Mata - DON'T EVER GIVE ANYTHING AWAY ABOUT LOST EVER! Grr!] It was a cracking episode. Hopefully this week's will be just as good.
PsychWardMike
Law and Order SVU, yo.
trunks_girl26
Just finished Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Most disappointing, I must say.
mooooooooooopo
I watched Serenity a few days ago.

So <censored> awesome!! biggrin.gif *grins until he falls over*

American Choppers. Love it.

I love Scrubs. Can't wait for Season Three to come out on DVD over here.

I finished watching Lost S2E11 tonight. Another great episode, answering a few questions and raising a whole batch of new ones. Jack is starting to grow on me again, as is Locke. Mmm, Lost.

Also, I've been wanting to watch Bleach 63 and 64, but Lunar haven't pulled their fingers out of their arses and come up with the subs yet; I much prefer to watch the Lunar subs. So, wait I must.
ShadowWolfenNinja
Yeah, My Dad records it, So I always watch 'em ^w^

Been watching american idol things, tis funny *giggles*
I_am_the_best
I've been watching a lot of Judge John Deed recently. It's quite fun really, a little tedious at times though.
ShadowWolfenNinja
I SAW UNDERWORLD:EVOLUTION!

....But..it was so gruesome....It roooocked ^w^
little_bear
Watching The X-Files Season One atm. I have a bit of a thing for Gillian Anderson. ¬_¬
Righteous
I watched Pieces of April with my girlfriend recently. I would have cried had she not been in the room (she's not the emotional type).
trunks_girl26
Watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights for about the millionth time. God I love Mel Brooks.

Yeah I had heard, Jack was one of the things we loved (we named our cat after him...and jack bauer.....and jack sparrow). but then again the show has a lot of things going for it. we'll catch up when we get a chance.
ShadowWolfenNinja
Flipping though changes and oooo-What's this? Punk'd is on, yay!

Ah, but they do have the bloke who played Kryten in Farscape, and it turns out that he's excellent in Stargate too! Hurrah! The facial similarity between him and the Dr. Jackson actor is very striking though, so much so that Jackson has had to grow a beard (I assume so it's easier for people to tell them apart).

Yay beards all round.... beards for everyone. I have to say that i am still quite shocked at the similarity between Michael Shanks (jackson actor SG1) and James Spader (Jackson Actor from the film).
Mata
It's a bit weird isn't it? Although Michael Shanks appears to have a very ugly portrait in his attic, because I think he looks even better now than when he started in the series.
