I was under the impression that the Firefly was some kind of animated series for some reason. Then I saw the DVD set at Target, and I recognized the people on the cover. Boy, am I glad I bought it. 👍I try to keep up with where the actress/actors from Firefly/Serenity went I liked them that much.
Two of the chicks are Scifi whores. They were on Stargate.
Stargate's pretty good. I've caught few episodes from the rerun. The newer ones, I didn't care too much for. Cast sucks, too.
wow... ur so not a sci-fi geek/nerd and if you're trying to be you'll get revoked.

That's what I wanted to watch yesterday but my girlfriend and friends chosen to watch SpiderMan 3 instead.
It wasn't as bad as the second one but there was too much for just one movie and it got tiresome by the end.
Later in the night me and the gf started to watch Live Free or Die Hard, and it was really awesome, but it was over midnight and we were pretty tired so we stopped watching halfway through it. Maybe I'll finish it tonight.

So we finished watching Live Free Or Die Hard last night. The plot was kind of weak, and it had some pretty obvious parts like Lucy being kidnapped (why else would they show her in the beginning?) but all in all I had a great time watching it.

Flags of Our Fathers 8.5/10
Good movie about the men who raised the flag on Japanese island Iwo Jima. This movie is a bit depressing. Not for the loss of life during the battle of Iwo Jima, so much, but for the absolutely lack of respect these men received after the war was over.

Gone With the Wind - 6/10
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!!!!!??? I sat through four hours of borderline racism, glamorized slavery, and a bunch of fawning and southern belle BS for what?
Yes, this is the first time I saw this movie, and hopefully the last, and (SPOILER WARNING) they don't get together in the end? What is with all these purses and posters of Scarlett and Rhett together? Did everyone forget everything after the intermission? You know, the parts where they lose the war and <gasp!> have to work their own fields and then he leaves her in the end? What is so great about Scarlett? She is heartless, keeps trying to break up a marriage, marries multiple men for money and practically celebrates when they die, and then treats the one man who truly loves her for herself like scum. Where is the romanticized image I have been fed my entire life?
It only got a 6/10 because for its time it was great and no one breaks into song randomly. And the way it glamorizes slavery by comparing masters and slaves to knights and fair maidens I doubt this would ever get made today. I can't get Song of the South in America, but this crap is held up as a classic?
If you haven't seen it and have some babyboomer housewife trying to tell you that you have to see it, don't.

American Gangster - 8/10.
This was for me, a film I was really, really looking forwarsd to. Did it deliver, yes, and sort of no. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, it was superbly acted, Crowe has won me back after that riduclous farce 3:10 to Yuma, actually Iit wasn't Crowes fault I didn't like that, I just thought the story was stupid. And Denzel was Denzel, very good, but you pretty much know his routine by now. I didn't find any of the film boring, it was dramatic, but it just wasn't powerful. At the end I wasn't thinking, "oh my... I could watch that again and again" like I did after Gladiator.
Basically, it's based on the true story of Frank Lucas, a black American who made a killing in drugs, and of the cop who went after him. The story was good and the acting better. It did almost everything right, it just didn't have a big effect on me afterwards, it was film over and back to other things. I stopped thinking about it almost as soon as it finished. Hence the 8/10 and not a 9/10.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - (7.5/10)
Humphrey Bogart digs for gold in Mexico. Definitely not one of Boggie's best works, but it has a great ending with a twist. Too many different things upsetting the plot throughout the story and takes away from the greed and lack of trust it creates. Basically, banditos made off with the human element.
Bridge on the River Kwai - (9/10)
Seen it as a kid, but wanted to watch it again because all I could remember was the bridge and the song. This movie is excellent and Alec Guinness is absolutely brilliant.

Live Free or Die Hard 7/10
Good, but not really good. Once again Justin Long steals the show. This kid is going places - as long as he can branch out and do other roles. Stupid plot, some stupid stunts. But generally fun so it still gets high marks.
Little Shop of Horrors 8/10
Good singing. Good acting (Rick Moranis, Bill Murrey, Steve Martin). Generally a fun movie, but there's no real meat to the movie. You don't feel like it actually went anywhere - just a bunch of singing.
Here's a clip:

Well, I assumed people were familiar with the story. You're right, though, I probably shouldn't have.

Seasons 1-7 are great stuff. "Window of Opportunity" (Season 4) is by far the best episode of any Sci-Fi programme ever, closely followed by "2001" (Season 5), a follow-up of sorts to the Aschen episode "2010" (Season 4). Which also contains the memorable exchange:
Carter: "I hope we don't live to regret giving them those gate addresses"
O'Neill: "Oh I don't think we will. First one being a black hole and all. They get progressively darker after that."
I try to keep up with where the actress/actors from Firefly/Serenity went I liked them that much.

There's quite a few Sci-Fi whores in Firefly.
Nathan Fillion/Mal: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Caleb)
Gina Torres/Zoe: Angel (Jasmine); Xena (Cleopatra); The Matrix Revolutions (Cas)
Alan Tudyk/Wash: I, Robot (Sonny)
Adam Baldwin/Jayne: Angel (Marcus); The X-Files (a super soldier); Stargate SG-1 (Airman Wells)
Jewel Staite/Kaylee: Stargate Atlantis (Dr. Keller; Ellia); X-Files (Amy)
Morena Baccarin/Inara: Stargate SG-1 (Adria)
Ron Glass/Book: Star Trek Voyager (Loken)
Summer Glau/River: Angel (Ballerina); The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Cameron)

I've been watching Season 1 of Lost throughout this week. I never really got into the series when they were on TV, especially because I was always lost myself with it.
Last night I watched episodes 19 and 20, so this week I'll probably finish the 1st one and get into the 2nd one. It's a pretty good show.

"I Know Who Killed Me"
Suprisingly watchable... I guess.

Welcome to the Jungle - Holy crap. I've been wanting to see one of them cannibalism flicks since I was a kid, and I finally got to see one last night. For me, I "bought it". This film was done, "Blair Witch style", so it's intended to be realistic. Not everybody liked the Blair Witch, but I kind of did, and I also thought it was scary. Welcome to the Jungle was the same for me, except the subject matter is much more realistic, so it was much more disturbing.
Special effects were pretty good, and I bought the acting as well. Characters felt real to me, very believable. I thought the Camcorder/documentary style worked in most scenes, and when things started happening, it was pretty creepy. This rental was far from average for me. "A-"
I'm thinking about getting the Season 3(due out this month) on Blu-ray, now that I got PS3.

One of my favorite shows, all-time. I've seen the Season 1, twice.

American Gangster = Good movie. Very good movie. Did not romanticize the bad guy at all, or the drug use.
Bee Movie = F movie. Terrible. Horrible dialogue. Just bad.
*EDIT*
Stuff i've seen on DVD recently:
40yr Old Virgin = Hilarious. Laughed my ass off. And as being that I didn't lose my own virginity untill the ripe old age of 22 I could relate to some of it. Funny Damn movie.
Madagascar = Histerically funny. Laughed more than 40yr Virgin. The Penguins were just fantastic.
Live Free or Die Hard = Good action film. It was definitely better than DH2. Maybe on par with DH3.
The Shooter = I was impressed. Much better than i thought it would be. But still not great. But a good action Suspense flick.

Shrek the Third - slightly better than 1st time around, but still by far the worst Shrek movie, there isn't a single LMAO moment, just a fair few chuckles. 6/10
Hills Have Eyes 2 (remake) - again slightly better than 1st time around. Maybe because i didn't have my girlfriend constantly goin "ewww thats gross" every 10 seconds. 6/10

With all the interest I'm having with the Pripyat topic and nuclear reactor accidents, I watched:
K-19: The Widowmaker (8.5/10)
I really do like this film, based on the true events of the real K-19 submarine that suffered a loss of coolant to its nuclear reactor. Shows how far Russia was prepared to ignore safety to keep up with America.
