So do we call this conspiracy/scandal "Happening-gate" or "After Earthgate?"

Every time I see this thread pop up, I see it as Surf Ninjas, not Surf Nazis. Confuses the fuck out of me.

Did you know that the name listed for parole before Simon Phoenix is "Scott Peterson"

Duh, have you seen the list of movies that we end up watching?

It feels sort of like if you were to call into a DJ and ask him if he can play a classic song from a band and instead he plays the new single from that band. You know that with the exception of for two-fer-tuesdays they space out the plays between band songs, so you know you're not going to hear the song you requested. Who knows though, maybe they're going through the top 3 from the poll working their way up it, but I think a lot of us are left confused.

I have to wonder if this movie had Shymalan listed as DP and Smith as director, would it have been received differently? Maybe the RT would have been in the 20s.

Yeah, I was gonna say that Hubbard isn't known to be the most original author, so it wouldn't be surprised that a generic sci-fi movie would touch on some of the same themes as those Hubbard wrote.

If they make an After Earth 2, then the lesson will be that they should have cast Jaden in the lead for Airbender.

I am not sure how deep it goes, like if there are midnight showings or anything but I have seen a lot of pictures of Sucker Punch themed cosplay costumes. It may not go any further than just an apreciation for the costumes and their simultaneous danger, sexuality and innocence, but it's there.

Yeah, but Airbender was supposed to have a couple of sequels and I believe they are in limbo at best. I also have a feeling that this isn't going to develop a cult following ala Sucker Punch.

So what you're really saying is that the bilderburg group chooses the movies you watch.

The "is magic real" statement kinda reminds me of The Illusionist. It bothered me that they toyed around with the whole "is his magic real or an illusion" plot idea the whole time, while his tricks were supposed to be doable a century ago and yet were all obvious CGI. It makes it hard to believe that he was a skilled illusionist when a props department with a large budget can't even do the tricks with all of today's technology and trick camera work. I felt like at the end of that movie Paul Giamatti should have dropped a coffee mug with "Kobyashi" stamped on the bottom. /side rant

If it stared Jason Statham as a magician whose specialty was punching people in the throat, I'd be interested.

The commercials made it look like a weird premise, plus RT gave it something in the 40s.

All they have to do is say that they are scared of Mark Wahlberg, but leaving us sitting and waiting for the Happening to happen is not fun.

Holy shit, tell me this was premature speculation: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2912946/?ref_=sr_2

To me, what's amazing about this movie is that it makes "Now You See Me" the reasonable new release to go see in theaters.

Given that they showed pictures of the engineer in the press releases for Prometheus it would be hard to say the two weren't related. I am kind of torn on the movie, I think had it been a stand-alone movie with no tie-ins to the Alien series, it would have been a fun big budget popcorn sci-fi "What if Giorgio Tsoukalos was right?" movie. However, as a prequel (and it's supposed to be part 1 of a trilogy) I am starting to see many of the same problems with it that the Star Wars prequels had.

Is M. Night America's Uwe Boll?

That a step in the right direction for the History Channel.

One spoiler, there isn't a single bridge in this movie and there are ZERO dragons. What there is, is plenty of Dolph Lundgren straight-to-DVD action. Check out the trailer for yourself: Also, this movie is up in its entirety on youtube if you feel like watching a Dolph Ludgren movie.

It has been about 5 years since I've seen it, but I gotta disagree. There's so much in this movie that doesn't make any sense what-so-ever. It's set in some near-future that is in an age old multi-racial kingdom, but with out-dated technology. Dolph's character is clearly a good guy at heart and is doing what he thinks is best, but has been best friends and the right hand of the general for a long time and yet doesn't see that he has been evil all along until the princess melts his heart.
