there's a lot of Conan art by a variety of artists. there is still a huge following as with Tarzan.

i downloaded some Tarzan movies to watch with my son and it was weird to me now how he killed so many animals and natives.

10. Never say never

Reminds me of Tank Girl or Barbed Wire....looks like a fun action movie...which I enjoy while stoned....

Other movies I enjoy stoned:
MindWalk
Dream With the Fishes
A Midsummer Nights Dream 1935 and 1999 versions
Waking Life
Brazil
The Tiger and the Snow
The Fountain
Juliet of the Spirits
No Direction Home
and many more

Just saw Sucker Punch with my son last night. It was everything I had hoped and didn't show everything in the trailer (like most other suck hollywood garbage). The action sequences were very high quality, unique storyline, very hot chickas, great sets/costumes/makeup, great stylization and artwork, excellent music score - even had a variation of an excellent morrissey song. At the end, I was shocked that the bus destination was... my city. Very cool for me anyways.

Overall, I was very impressed and was not disappointed in any way. Don't know where Emily Browning (the lead) came from or what she was in before, but I def have a new eye candy favorite. Hands down, worth the price of admission. My only regret is not seeing it on imax.

Btw, I went at a 5:10pm showing. NOBODY else was in the theatre. wtf is up with that? Must be the sleeper action flick of the year.

It's not a sleeper. Everyone I know has heard of it. The few that have seen it didn't like it. They said the eye candy was great, but that everything else blows. So the rest of use are waiting to catch it on DVD/stream.

This quote from a review on IMDB says the same thing:

"With 300, Zack Snyder has made it abundantly clear that his movies dazzle they eyes, indeed they do, but his characters never engage the audience in a personal and emotional level. And Sucker Punch is just that. A visually dazzling collage of mental insanity taken to the extreme with a fairly interesting premise that looks promising on the surface, but never truly lets you sink your teeth into the inner workings of the main character.

...

As if that makes any sense whatsoever, here are the main problems with Sucker Punch that's been plaguing modern cinema; no plot and character development. Barely any of the characters that the protagonist meets are developed. They're just static talking heads spouting out lines that are trying to hammer into the audience that they are more than just cliché's and cardboard cutouts. The acting feels stiff and artificial with no sense of tension or suspense. You never feel that the characters are in real danger of any kind. It just goes thru the motions and despite having a nice premise to go on, the film feels like a half-ass-ed attempt to be something new and fresh."

Ouch. It even opened on 3033 screens.

Budget: $82,000,000 (estimated)
Opening Weekend: $19,058,199 (USA) (27 March 2011) (3033 Screens)
Gross: $29,811,118 (USA) (3 April 2011)

I must live in opposite world.

Battle: Los Angeles
Box Office
Budget:$70,000,000 (estimated)
Gross:$78,502,566 (USA) (3 April 2011)

This movie was just a rehash of the same alien drivel ala shaky cam. It amazes me that this movie demolished Sucker Punch - at least SP had a unique storyline and a great flow from beginning to end. wtf kind character devopement did that have? Very, very sad and undeserved compared to the competition.

It was one of the worst movie I have ever seen. The movies being produced today are such crap. They fought Nazi's that were made out of steam or something? Like what was that? And those terrorist bitches blew up a whole city in their fantasy, or whatever you want to call that.

Hey, I like steampunk nazis. What kind of an American are you? sigh...

I loved it. Like a crazy comic book on the big screen. Lots of explosions and, yes, zombie-mechanical Nazis getting BLASTED!

This brings up my next question for the movie: Did they use the steady cam in every shot?

Not in the battle scenes....the imaginary battle scenes...

Video games have been having better plotlines and characters than most of Hollywoods action epics....as of late....


That other Girl action hero movie, 'Hanna' looks like a copy of that VinDiesel Movie and the Bourne Trilogy mashed into one....
