since its part of the whole story, yes

PS Johnny Mnemonic SUCKED!!! But whatever, I was just wondering why you liked it.  I guess I have my answer.

 i think william gibson is a wonderful writer, its based on his cyberpunk novels and was an extension to neuromancer which imo is one of the best science fiction novels ever written...the screenplay was written by gibson, one of the true masters of scifi writing...i would guess if the matrix lacked the new film camera sequences then it wouldnt have been as special as it was, this storyline has much less substance than those gibson novels...if johnny mnemonic or even better neuromancer was made now after the matrix's success with the same budget, it would wipe the face off of the matrix

AOTC is my 2nd favourite Star Wars movie behind ROTJ..... It rocks.

As Axl loco says its all one big story so in the context of it its all great. I can't wait for the next one whoch btw they are starting work on this march so it should be ready for christmas or this time next year..... so then i can watch all 6 through in order

But then, you do like Avril, so...

[Skeba]

I like the AOTC too... I like ESB the most. It's the one of the movies that didn't care that much about sales. I'm really looking forward to the 3rd one. That's when things truly get bad.

[lastroots]

I have to add one. Saw it in cinema in 2001 and bought the DVD now.
"The Pledge" witch Jack Nicholson. Amazing film. (and, btw, an amazing novel by Friedrich D?rrenmatt).

No this is just wrong.

Why do people have to spoil what is a legend... and they will ruin it.

it will be the same if they do a Terminator 3... why just why.


On a brighter note i would like to say that i have seen the film About a boy and i think it was excellent. Its british humor at its best and Hugh Grant is the best in the world at this sorta role i.e. Notting Hill, 4 Weddings & A Funeral, Jones Diary and Nine Months.

The music by Badly Drawn Boy is excellent, and the film is kick ass

THE PLEDGE
Yeah, I saw it in cinema with two friends. One fell asleep, the other one found it boring. I just can't understand that. It's an amazing movie. Well, there's no "action" in it, you have to use your brain to watch and understand it but it's great.
Somehow there are people who only like movies that you can watch without thinking about it or without letting it go deep into the mind. I can't understand that.

That's one of the reasons why I dislike action movies, comedy or this simple Hollywood love story concept with a screenplay written within 10 minutes. But, well, this mainstream crap sells way better.

Bully

The Hole

These are some really FUCKED UP movies.  I guess they're good.  They are not like any other ones I've seen.

Probably why old Jackie took the part.  I only saw the first half of that, but it looked to be interesting.
