I like the ending better in the Watchmen film. Making it seem like Manhattan blew up everything was a way better twist than a stage alien invasion.

The Doc Manhattan angle removed the part in the book where psychich feedback was sent worldwide and put "sensitives" in comas, while making everyone in the world "hear" the horrendous images that the "alien" was sending to the inhabitants of Earth about the upcoming invasion, as well as "feeling" the death of the alien creature.
I found the Doc Manhattan angle weak and unsatisfying. The world would not put aside it's differences just because one powerful being destroyed 12 cities. Fuighting an alien invasion is something humans can get behind. fighjting a near omnipotent being would just drive the entire planet to madness.

![]() 10/10. Well, yeah, the guys at Pixar never cease to amaze me. I thought it would be impossible to do a BETTER film than Wall·E and UP but they did it: right now, Toy Story 3 is the best computer-animated movie of all time. I suck at writing reviews and I can't give you a satisfying one but I just want to say that this is the perfect adventure movie, entertainment at its best. It is maybe predictable at times and some scenes are just a bit too cliché but these flaws are easily forgettable when you think of all the great things that make Toy Story 3 what I would dare to call a masterpiece. Also, I didn't see it in 3D. Fuck 3D.

Toy Story 3 was pointess in 3D. Great flick though.
And good point about the Watchmen Rob.

I thought the Hangover casting was perfect.
A friend of mine met Bradley Cooper at the A-Team premiere a couple weeks ago. Said he was a real down to earth dude.

Well, it's one of my favorite movies of the year so far, it's funny, it's quite violent and it's very entertaining. I would recommend it, yes.

![]() Supremely interesting, and while being incredibly funny, it is also terribly depressing as well, an aspect of the documentary I didn't anticipate. Chock full of one liners and fascinating moments, it seems like a very well chronicled account of a amateur filmmaker just trying to do anything he can not to do what's normally expected, get a real career, work in a factory, do what you're supposed to. Mark seems so worried about being at the end of his life and looking back at finding himself without any accomplishments. Everyone in the film is ridiculous but at the same time very real. His uncle Bill is probably the highlight of the film beyond Mark himself, he's so doubtful and dismissive, it's out of control. Is Coven any good? I dunno, but what was essentially a trailer for it at the end made it look very watchable.

The Fly is definitely my favorite Cronenberg movie, it's truly terrifying yet really fascinating... One of the best horror/sci-fi movies of all time.
