What was the last movie you watched?

30 Days of Night- Okay film. Kinda dragged, a few odd contradictions, but otherwise pretty solid.

I read somewhere the other day that Josh Hartnett has developed only one on screen facial expression - they call it Blue Steel, of course.   

[Junkyard]

That's true. Give him time, though- some day he'll have all 3 of Tom Cruise's.

I've never thought of Nightmare Before Christmas as anything more then "alright." I don't see what people get all jazzed about.

[Junkyard]

We get jazzed about it being awesome. Duh.

[Chaos]

I always found the hype and uberlove for Nightmare Before Christmas to be annoying. I could never see this as anything other than "just okay." It's billed as a cinematic masterpiece, but I found it trite, predictable, and a little boring. The visual effects were nice, the songs were "meh."

Now, Grim Fandango... *that* would make an awesome movie, if Lucas Arts would be willing to licence it and somebody who actually has talent tackles it. I can even agree with you on using the same visual style as N.B.C., Imrahil (since the game looked like that anyway, and it worked very well).

Gone Baby Gone - I loved it.

If I was to give the film rights to Grim Fandango to anyone (and I wouldn't), I'd give it to Pixar. I know they don't do claymation, but they're the only people I'd trust to get the story right.

The Curse of the Living Corpse - the other movie by Del (Horror At Party Beach)Tenney.  The one with Roy Schieder and Candace Hilligoss.

Made me pine for the guys on the beach and their "bikini areas".....

ONLY if they got the original voices to do it!

No way! Celebrity stunt casting.

Carrot Top as Manny Calavera!

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Well I went to watch Iron Fisted Monk this morning but then I discovered QI and had to watch the first 6 episodes straight away!

Marvelous Show.

And the last film I watched was one of my all time favorites:

Didn't they try to do the same thing with Sam & Max and it was a flop

There was a short lived Saturday morning cartoon with a horrible voice for Sam and none of the humor that made the game or the original comics fun, if that's what you mean.

Call of Cthulu-
Pretty awesome. Basically a creatively made silent film that puts Lovecraft's famous short story into moving picture. It honestly helps to read the story first, though.
