Short version: I saw it tonight and it was almost exactly what I had expected -- eye-popping action balanced against an embarrassingly cliché and overwrought storyline.

lol at the ostentatiously skeptical stupidity in this thread. Yes, it's Dances With Ferngully, but it's also James Cameron, so for every glowing blue bestiality scene there's going to be a vicious fucking gunfight.

Shit, "hermetic," I mix those two up a lot. Can't ever remember wtf hermeneutic means, either; it's something about philosophy or phenomenology.

G.I. Joe - 3/10

Feels like a 90s movie -- and I don't blame them for wanting to take it back to basics after level of inappropriateness and stupidity reached by Transformers 1 & 2, but this movie has nothing on Independence Day.

Re: Blu-ray movie recommendations?

Aeon Flux tells a mediocre story, but looks AMAZING, so if you just want eye candy, I'd highly recommend it. House of Flying Daggers is also a very visually lush film. Planet Earth, as people have said. And if you waste time on 10,000 BC you're an idiot. EDIT: Oh yes, and I cannot recommend WALL-E s...

I missed the Paul Jaquays era, although he did return once in a while after I started posting.

That was around the time I joined, which was back when CB ...

Okay, well I managed to get a MAP file out of it, but it's error-ridden so I can't even open it up in GTK. If I look into it with textpad, I see that all the texture information is missing. I guess I'm using a crappy old version of the process; I remember someone had refined it until it reverse engi...

I've switched computers a couple times since last I mapped, so I lost all the source files for the maps I made.

Terminator Salvation: 5/10
Franchise is dead. RIP and stay down.

Drag Me To Hell: 6/10
This isn't Evil Dead -- even though it wants to be.

Up: 7/10
Not Wall-E quality by any stretch.

All underwhelming. The Pixar short feature before Up ("Partly Cloudy"), however, is utterly amazing.
