@Skrubed: I wanted to like that show so much (Anything that gets Clancy Brown on tv once a week is good by me), but it really did fail in a lot of ways. It got even worse when you look at their plans for a second season. It was going to be pretty bad, along the lines of SeaQuest season 2.
@truthtellah: I didn't find the remote all the confusing. I was more hung up that he was so committed to doing the crime that he would rewind time to make it happen. That moment is all between him and us and the family and their house are all just props in his game, so it seemed logical to me that he could do…
@bungz: I yelled "CHEATER" at the screen when I watched it. You should feel cheated, that's what happened.
@truthtellah: This film is supposed to be anything but fun. This film is supposed to hurt to watch. I'm not saying the audience shouldn't like the film, but they should never feel comfortable or happy, except in that one moment we think the mother is going to win. But when that happens, it's taken from us.
@WookieLifeDay: I think that your first point has a lot to do with why he remade the film in English. There was something there, something he hadn't really intended before that needed to be further explored in an American setting. The first film was about simple brutality to characters and and statement about how…
@absolutcalm: Both films, though so identical, do feel very different. The American version bothers me a lot more, but maybe because I feel closer to the family because the barrier in language is no longer there.
I personally love Funny Games (both versions in different ways), though I'll probably never watch them again. The impression I got from the films was that they were trying to tell me I was responsible for everything that happened to the family. If I wasn't watching then they wouldn't get hurt, but I insisted on…
@najmah: I agree. Though I really like the idea of the Na'vi I think they are suffering from some serious Mary Sue problems. Way to perfect, way to idealized. I understand that part of their existence is that they are suppose to live in harmony with their planet, but as nice as the idea of perfect harmony is…

I first saw the Mandelbrot set in an expanded state of mind. I was sure I was looking at the edge of the universe. I still am.
This is just what the superhero movie genre needs, more movies that are just extended back stories.
@KeySlammer: I actually didn't like the first Bourne movie all that much so I never saw the second one. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
@serenada: He was great. I don't actually have a lot of love for the last two LOTR films, but he was a bright spot in them.
@serenada: I've always found him to be a cutie, but some of his roles were just painful to watch. Riddick (which wasn't really his fault), Doom (again, I'm not sure anyone could have done that well), Pathfinder (which I'll admit, I never bothered seeing).
I've turned a corner with Karl Urban. Perhaps it was just how out of the park amazing he was in Star Trek (made even better by my ridiculously low expectations), but I'm in a place where if i hear he's in a movie, that's all the reason I need to see it.
Good. I'm not the biggest fan of Jackson's LOTR (to stereotypical action film for me, especially the last two), but they did a whole lot to get fantasy more in the main stream.
@Jesse Astle: I'd watch that movie.
