Ask me again tomorrow, I have tickets to the midnight showing of The Hobbit in 3D on the IMAX screen.  Cost me $17, but totally worth it (I hope).  I love Tolkien and The Hobbit is my favorite book of all time, so I have been super excited for this.

i have heard that it moves really fast. so sitting farther back will prevent motion sickness from the 3d.
enjoy!

The last epic movie I saw?

"Rise of the Guardians"

My heart felt like it was going to explode. NO movie since, "Santa Claus", back in 1985 has been able to make me believe in the spirits of the holidays like, "Rise of the Guardians", has been able to.

I saw The Hobbit tonight. xposting my post from the Hobbit thread!

I just saw it tonight. I had some issues with it. Even more so than the trilogy, but I think I'm looking back on that with rose-coloured glasses. I mean, it was entertaining overall, but meh probably wouldn't spend the money to see again in theatres.

I was really disappointed. I ws expecting some changes, but they changed pretty much everything except the basic storyline, a lot of which had no reason to be changed. It was like they tried to turn it into an epic action movie, which it's just...not.

I agree! I felt disappointed. There were several "moments" where it was like, 'They're doing it right!' But overall it was like...how many rock slabs/wooden catwalks/trees can we break in half and surf down on?!

Rise of the Guardians.
Was good, but I predict it won't help the books to become more well known (haven't read them myself). Basing a movie on a not too well known book never works in the book's favor.

The Hobbit. It was so good I got emotional and teary-eyed by its epicness.

I just finished watching an episode of Dexter from season 2. I was watching the latest season only to realise that I don't remember a lot of things they are referencing (I watched Dexter as it was coming out, so first few seasons were years ago) and decided to rewatch them must say it's worth it as I don't remember 90% of the stuff going on.

As for the movie, I watched Inside Man last night on the bus, I was coming back from the game we played in the town up north, and the bus was crawling due to the whole north being covered by snow. Luckily, the film was entertaining enough, although I'm generally tired of such films.

have to disagree. we've sold  a ton of the books since the movie was announced.
not many people had heard of how to train your dragon before that either.
i did find out that the movie happens 200 years after the first book takes place.
i've been reading them since i saw the movie and really enjoying them.

Saw the hobbit last night. Pretty good.

Same thing happened when I was a bookseller and Kung Fu Panda came out, based on a pretty small paperback series. 

I've been watching Happy Endings lately, but I last watched SNL.

Ted and although I found it hilarious, it may not be for everyone.

End of Watch.  I watched it last night at a friend's behest.

Mockumentary-type movie about two LA cops.  Was great and shockingly accurate.
