I just saw RISE with Lucy Lui (a good Vampire movie) and also Planet Terror (one of the Quentin Tarrentino films).

Both good horror films with plenty of gore in the Planet Terror film.

I was particulary taken by the jar of testicles that Bruce Willis had , taken from his men when that failed him!

I saw Rise a week ago as a double header with Harry Potter...

Lucy Lui was fab and her acting very good.

Some of the violence and sex scenes where heavilly censored here (which gave some continuity issues). Itw as released 19th July.

I watched Blade Trinity and could not believe what they did with the editing.  You know, I feel that if a film isn't fit for public consumption, it shouldn't go on the air.  Put it on cable.... oh wait, it was on a cable channel!  Here are some of the edits that they did:

dick:     Hoo hoo
farted:  tooted

There were many others I can't remember.... and of course the standard replacements for the f word.

So here we have a film where there are blood sucking vampires killing people, blood flying all over the place, a killing at least once a minute and we have to replace "I farted" with "I tooted".  Holy smokes Batman!  We'd rather see death and carnage than hear the word "farted".  Give me a break.  What does THAT say about our moral values?  It's okay to drive stake into someone's heart, cut his head off, and disembowel him.  But don't tell him that you farted.  You might offend him!

I still enjoyed the film.  I just wish they would have left it alone.

QuoteI still enjoyed the film.  I just wish they would have left it alone.

Right on sistah-girl.  It was a travesty. There was too much gratuitous everything in that film, but the censoring was whacked. It was like watching a Hong Kong film dubbed in Anglais.

The film was the weakest of the trilogy, so not a big loss. The first is a classic. The second is a cult fave. The third was ho-hum. At least in my book.

I enjoyed the ending when Vlad warns Blade that he is now the only vampire danger left, and how Blade comes back to life. It's left open and dark ~ no real ending. Maybe Blade can go to Europe and hook up with Kate Beckensale & the Underworld folks? ala the AVP crossover. which was quite surprisingly good actually, unlike Freddie v. Jason which I could not even bring myself to watch. Freddie got well, shall we say, rather rotund over the years, and Jason always was a bore to me.

I forgot. I'm just putting on Pan's Labyrinth. I rented it last month, but I could not shut up Guillermo Del Toro's commentary on the DVD I was given. So I could not watch it. I hate listening to commentary while watching a film. My best friend does that and I HATE it! Grrrrrr

Post by: Kat on July 31, 2007, 02:55:50 PM
TV editing is why don't actually watch it on TV... I let the TV pick my movie schedule sometimes though.  I saw underworld starting, so I went over and popped in my underworld DVD!  Then I felt like watching the sequel while Spiderman was on (why was that on between two vampire movies anyway?), then watched blade trinity on DVD so I don't have to deal with commercials, or "tooted"  ;)


Just got 300 on DVD so now I am going to watch some hot men wearing loincloths kick some ass.  THIS IS BEEFCAKE!  <3 Gerard Butler

After my movie was over, I watched ancient battle tech on modern marvels.

Did ya know that France was named after the battle axe used by the Gauls?  It's true!
It was on the science channel, so it must be true!

Now 60's tech is on. Kinda boring.

I watched Ugly Betty last week for the first time [by accident] and the chick that played Mystique in X-Men was a transsexual character, or so she said. I was half asleep, so maybe I imagined the whole flippin' thang?  :-X

Brick and I just watched Barry Bonds tie the home run record.  I don't like baseball. But Brick has taken me to a few Giants games and I've always had a good time.  I got to see Barry hit some home runs every time we went.

So tonight, he made history and we were watching.  For a brief moment, we held something just for fun in common with many people.

That's very cool.

Afew sidenotes to prior posts:

The first two Blade movies are awsome

Also, despite the track record of most Jason movies, Freddy Vs. Jason was pretty damn good. It's also the ONLY good Jason film.
