Ok - so I'm reading the review for "BASIC" which is a new movie starring John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson, and the reviewer is Roger Ebert. In it he says the movie is well acted, and well lighted, great mood and all that shit. He also says the movie is VERY frustrating, and that you hardly know whats going on, and the end will have you wanting to get your money back.

The fat fuck was right.

Througout the movie - it's fucking good. Really good. There ARE alot of twists and turns, and alot of "who the fuck is lying and who is telling the truth". But while you are watching it all, you ARE waiting for the INEVITABLE end that ties everything together and makes everything make sense. You get it - but in a way that has you sooooo very pissed off that you want to beat the shit out of the director.

Anywho - I'm not going to fuck up the ending to this movie cause even though that IS my style, this movie needs to be seen to believe.

Duly noted. I'll download the VCD to save 12$ and a lot of frustration...

Thanks for the heads-up.

I guess my review DOES make it seem like I saw it in theatres...

I burned it on a quick VCD and watched it with some friends. The one I got was kinda dark - but then the whole thing takes place at night.

And I'd fuck CONNIE NELSON in a heartbeat.

dam soli movies are expensive to go see where you live, here its only 7 dollars and in dallas it was like 5

Well, people don't go see as many movies. Most notably, because Hollywood
keeps releasing CRAP. The theaters UP the prices and people get seriously
turned off and go even less. Guess what ? The prices were JACKED again! What
can we do ? Download the fukn' movies.

I thought it was acutally pretty good. It had a good twist to it, and I didn't know the exact story to the end, which is good.

A few disappointments were the ending, and how it wasn't "Military Correct." For instance, SGT West, AKA Samuel L. Jackson, introduces him to the trainees at the Rangers camp as a Seargent, but he's wearing Specialist pins, WTF?!? And the HMMVUE's they were driving in were super-quiet! heh

Yeah, but the movie theaters aren't at fault, they get a very, very small percentage of the money from the movie, that's why they raise ticket prices and refreshment prices so much. I can't remember how much they get from the movie, but it is definetly well under 10% from what I remember, i think 3% sounds right, but i dunno

yeah, they make more money on candy and shit. 5 dollars for a small box of Sweetarts? FUCK YOU!

I gave up going to the movies unless you really need to see it on the big screen like "Pearl Harbor". Before i go, i eat something beforehand then I bring a bag of sunflower seeds with me. I'll walk in with a cup of soda (double cupped) and use the empty one to spit the shells into. Screw them and their ridiculous vending prices.

[SoLiDUS]

Hellz ja. I usually just ask for a cup and put fountain water in it... biggrin:

only movie I'll even consider seeing in the thetres (unless it's a group thing with friends) is Matrix: reloaded...and maybe Phone booth since my friend liked it...though i'll prolly just dl it.

yah, i buy a big bag of Sour Starburst, the best candy in the world, hide it, then just go in.

I usually don't eat or drink at a movie... it makes me pee-pee
