    Loved the LoTR movies. I never read the books, but everyone I know that read them said it followed very well. Think of how many other movies don't do the books justice? Last book I read that became a movie was "He Died with a Fallafel in his Hand" which was a fantastic book, and a shit movie.

    First thing's first. Silverbolt, your avatar is awesome. Steam is the reason I stopped playing half life. I got sick and tired of downloading crap.

    I find that when Hollywood is shooting out craps, I can always turn to classics on DVD. The only thing I've really enjoyed in theaters in the last few months was Dodgeball, because I really really love Ben Stiller...He's hilarious in it....as always...er...except when he was in "Envy" that was just kinda odd...but Christopher Walken was hilarious.

    Oh...and speaking of comic book movies...did anyone see the preview...Blade III is coming...blah...

    Thnx for the compliment, the reason i decided to take this as my user icon is because valve announced that by the end of the month WON will be closed and everything has to go through steam and stopping CS1.5

    I actually reall really liked the first Blade movie it really had the hard dark atmosphere of the original comic, the 2nd movie was pretty crap though :smt009

    Can someone explain to me why everyone hates STEAM so much?

    I can't understand why so many people hate it, it seems fine to me (remembering that I am a big Half-life fanboy and play that game online the most)

    Silverbolt: your avatar is great

    Thye should do a movie of DeathLok. Most of you have probably never heard of it let alone read the comics, but it is about a software engineer who had his brain put into a cyborg - he thought he was coding artificial limbs for landmine victims etc - but the company was using the technology to secretly build the ultimate killing machine -_- When he confronted his boss with the information, his boss shot him and harvested the brain for the cyborg (the previous brain had fried - the onboard CPU was meant to control the wetware). So basicaly the fella is basically a killing machine on a quest to get his original body back - his boss kept the original body in stasis and uses it as a 'carrot-on-a-stick' so to speak to mindfu*k him!!

  9. Personally, I thought Blade was just really weak and campy, and not in the good Evil Dead way either, but that may have just been me...

    And I agree with Alien Workshop, Big Fish was a VERY awesome movie that I think everyone should see once. It was a wonderfully written, very entertaining story, and it's one of the first movies I've seen in quite a while that uses the special effects to enhance the movie, not carry it. Highly recommended, A+++, and all that other eBay feedback crap. :smt023
