........sucked, what a waste of time, at least I did'nt have to pay for it, since we saw the Italian Job, which was great, then hopped over to T3 just in time.
Italian Job; Very good plot, storyline, and action. Yes, it was a remake of an older movie, but it was well done. Very clever heists pulled off.
T3: Plenty of action, but the story line and acting really sucked. Doesnt deserve a Terminator title. Should be called Cyborgs or something. Seemed really thrown together. What a shame after the first two were so damn good. The guy they got to play John Conner was horrible.
....and........they set it up perfectly for a 4th Terminator:rolleyes:
Well, I guess we will see in 10 or so years if they make another one.
Oh, and at least we got to see the hot girls ass:D

I liked 'em bofe.
The Italian Job is a great summer movie and makes me want my next car to be a Mini Cooper S (though I can't put my bike in that to take to the track).
T3 was good, I thought. Not as good as the first two and almost a parody of the first two sometimes, but better than I thought. I thought the chick was very good as a super killing machine though I didn't like her killing those kids at the beginning of the movie. That could have been left out. T3 is definitely better than the Hulk.
Who's seeing Pirates of the Caribbean?

Ditto. Front wheel drive sucks.

You'll just have to strap the Mini to your back seat instead....

I saw T3 yesterday and was bored. The T-X (terminatrix) was nowhere near as intimidating as the T-1000 (robert patrick in T2)... There was really nothing new to it.
I can see why James Cameron and Linda Hamilton had nothing to do with it...

Take it for a drive before you judge it. It drives like a very good handling rwd car, ass end coming around in corners and everything. The original Mini revolutionized car handling and killed the rwd cars at the track.

I've actually been thinking about it today. I might see about test driving an S this weekend. Got a pre-approval for a loan through the credit union. :D Tho I wonder if they might have some better rates at the dealer...maybe part of some promotion or something. Getting the back end to come around in corners is a major plus for me.

better than the HULK? Are you on crack? Any comic book dude, around the age of 25 - 30 should love this movie. T 3 didnt deserve the title but dont knock the Hulk, Ang Lee is the man. T3 was a disapointment, but I really enjoyed the Hulk. Hulked out Pit Bulls: you cant get much cooler than that. If Fast and the Furious had hulked out Pit Bulls It might have made a good movie. At least Vin Diesel can smell DOGSHIT from 10 foot, I respect him more from leaving the sequel to that pile alone.
The Italian Job was really enjoyable. I've never seen the original. The Score and Heist comes to mind...

Hulk could have been interesting if it had had a clear conflict and resolution; as it is, its 2 hours of "poor bruce... he's having a real bad day"... yeah, the people involved are really talented, and yeah, it should have been great... but I fail to see why I should take any interest in what's going on (beyond the fact that jennifer connelly is a hottie).
I really enjoyed 2 Fast 2 Furious. I even saw it twice. The reason Vin didn't come back isn't because he didn't like the script (btw, there were two scripts, one with vin, one without), but because he's making 8 figures a movie now and they just couldn't afford him. There's no way he could pass on Riddick and XXX2, given what they were willing to pay and what 2F2F had budgeted.
Maybe they'll be able to afford him for 3F3F

anyone can see that Hulk was made with a sequel in mind, and I for one, can't wait to see the next one. F and F just didnt do it for me, I mean come on, they take the most raceable car and destroy it in under a minute. My grandfather had a car just like that, and it brought me to tears to see them trash it in a split second. Thumbs down in my opinion for wrecking a classic. Wait for the Hulk sequel, you'll change your mind.

Your grandfather had a skyline? Or are you talking about the charger from the first movie?
The Hulk sequel may be great, but that won't change my opinion of the first Hulk.
