stevangs, I can't relate with most of what you said (except for the terentino movie which I haven't seen. (BTW, I hated mars attacks! :p)
Movie to steer away from:
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - It's defenetly one of the worse movies I've ever seen! And I think that the score of 5.4/10 is tottaly over rated. I can't believe that Sean Connery turned down Lord of the Rings but was capable of playing this piece of bull-crap. I bet he's still banging his head against the wall for this...
Great geekish movie:
Hackers- (plus you see Angelina Jolie's titties!), but computer-wise that movie tottaly sucks, but it has really cool soundtrack. I saw it when I was like 12 or 13 or something and it completely blown me away. Now I see it with a notalgic grin...
Great non-geekish movie:
Donnie Darko - I can't really explain how and why this movie is great. But the story is genious. It plays around alot with space and time and it's just pure genious. If I say too much I'd end up revealing too much so I just suggest you spend a coulpe of dollars on this movie 'cause you will NOT get dissapointed!
