NC Game Day VII - April 23!

Iron Man Armor is way cooler (The 1980's Gold and Red Suit)

You know, I like the red and gold suit, but for some reason, my favorite has always been the red and silver from the late 80s/early 90s. Maybe because thats the era when I was a real Iron Man junkie, and he was my favorite of all of Marvel's heros.

Ahh, thanks Henry... the D&D movie?!?! yikes! I was spared even thinking about seeing that movie after Rel ranted for nigh 30 minutes straight about how bad it was. Yes, Mr. Solomon, you march right up to the front of the line! With any luck, messers Solomon, Lucas and Stone will get there first and the combined force of sucking will get all the other bad directors into the black hole created before they can run away!

Two points that came within the first 30 seconds of the Rel rant sealed it for me: a Wayans and tricking a beholder with a rock. No Oscars for this movie????

And Iron Man armor is better for flight and less good for the inevitable giant magnets the bad guys seemed to have in their lair always

The D&D movie isn't so bad. Just watch it with someone who can complement your MST3K style comments while the movie is on. It is a ton of fun!

REL: Hey, Riggs! Word on the 'net is that Courtney Solomon is directing a Black Company movie! Whadaya think!

RIGGS: AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEE!

REL: Riggs, I didn't mean it! Come down from that ledge, now, OK? I was kidding! Riggs?

-------------------------

Henry, I started reading the new page of the thread from the bottom (it's a troll thing, 'kay?) and saw the bit about Courtney Solomon directing Black Company without the "...I was kidding!" bit. You have no idea how disheartening that was....

I'm better now.

The Boba Fett armor was way cool. The Iron Man red and gold was also way cool. I liked the original armor, it looked cool in a clunky, grey way.

Actually, Henry, Riggs is not exactly what you'd call a "film enthusiast". Each year the number of movies that he actually watches could easily be counted on two hands, probably one. He might actually like two of them.

Neither am I. I may get to see about 5 movies a year at the theater. And that's stretching it a bit.....

If I think it'd be interesting, then I might pick up the DVD when it comes out.

You still have me beat considering in-theater showings. I like the big screen and sound but I hate the people and their noises and distractions, plus way high costs of food, tickets..

Nope, DVDs work fine unless it's a big thing like LoTR or Saving Private Ryan or something that calls for a big screen.

That's why you go with the Saturday AM private screening ! I used to do this all the time with physician groups back when I was in pharmaceutical sales. Most theaters I used back then (~ 7 years ago) required a 40-person minimum commitment, but the package tickets where $5 per head and included a kiddie popcorn and drink - all for $200.

I am sure it would cost more to do it now...but even if it $6-8 a head, that is still only $240 to $320. Just get 20 friends, everyone kicks in $15 bucks and you have the place to yourself!

That's how I saw Harry Potter 3 two weeks in advance. My fiance works in a vet's office. Free food, private screening.

Now private screenings I could like! I still wouldn't go see the D&D movie though.

See...this is what we should all do when a big flick comes out. We should rent the theatre for ENWorld!

I was stretching that count a bit...... I don't recall seeing anything at the theater last year.... and so far, the only thing I'll most likely see at the theater this year is Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.... Other than that..... Nothing suits my fancy to waste my little amount of money on.

Most of it is either stupid or crap. Or both.
