Yup, going to see 10,000 BC tomorrow morning

[DainBramaged]

It did $12.5 million Friday, and nearly 60% of the people who rated it on Box Office Mojo gave it an A, so I'm a going. Yes I am. And for 89 minutes I'm going to forget about politics and my shitty old life.

1. I think I"m going too tomorrow

:D

I loves me some prehistoric story.

[DS1]

2. 8% on rottentomatoes

ouch. enjoy

[DainBramaged]

3. I know, but it's been a while since ANY SciFi movies piqued my interest

[supernova]

6. I take that w/ a grain

of salt.

It's the same guy who did Independence Day, which was fun if not deep.

I think the critics were disappointed trying to look for something that isn't there.

4. Is it anything like the classic?

[Liberal Veteran]

5. Damn, they had Pantene and Lady Bic a million years ago?

Who knew?

[pokerfan]

8. Homo habilis never looked so good

[democracyindanger]

7. Sounds like you're determined to like it

Which is good. Me? i figure it's directed by Roland Emmerich, which means there'll be about 10 minutes of it that's kinda interesting and the rest incredibly boring.

9. Next week is the REALLY good "remake"

Doomsday!!!!!!

14. Never saw the original "Doomsday"

but, the trailer reminded me a bit of Mad Max/Road Warrior. And, the female lead (Rhona Mitra?) reminded me a bit of Kate Beckinsale...

17. Doomsday is the modern remake of "Escape from New York"

10. You'd do better renting the BBC documentary "Walking With Beasts."

5-6 hours of entertainment featuring prehistoric mammals, with better special effects than the movie will probably have.

Also, no annoying actors, just Stockard Channing doing narration.

11. Nah, I always suspend my disbelief

I went to see Transformers twice before I got the DVD, and it wasn't for the Camaro. I even enjoyed Dragon Wars.

12. The Rotten Tomatoes Community gives it 42%

13. well, as long as people get that the civilization depicted...

is fictional.

I'm not interested in seeing it, as the idea of a civilization in 10000BCE with that kind of construction just irks me. Seems like pseudoscience to me. :shrug:

[DainBramaged]

15. OK I went AND

1) Everyone needed a bath or shower, badly

2) BUT, they all had the whitest, most perfect teeth I've ever seen

3) No one breathed vapor when they were in the cold, cold mountains

4)I didn't know mastodon's could run downhill at breakneck speed

But I enjoyed it. I'll give it a B-.


There are some GOOD movies coming out this summer, Hellboy 2, Batman The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Wanted, it will be a good summer.

16. OK, and it did $35,730,000 this weekend

Grunt. Anyone else go??? No? Damn.
