Its obviously faked. A quick search on the 'Star' who's meant to be a Photographer reveals no work, no personal website, and a facebook account only made a few months before the movie came out...

If its real, I'm the Pope.

He does have a personal website and he was a well-known photographer before the movie came out, I know someone who has worked with him... that's not the part in question, it's whether he staged the later events of the documentary.

There are few true classics out there... but I must say that those which are classic stand out classicly...

And now back to true classic I'm watching...

^^ Oh SCHNAP! It's been years since I've even watched it, and just seconds after I read that post, I'm already recalling quotes from it, and thinking about needing to watch it again -- soon.

Finally got to see The Expendables this past week. Thank God for second run cinemas. :p Wasn't too bad. Pretty much your Archetypical '80s Action flick. A little light on plot, heavy on the action. Enjoyable to see the cameos and such as well.

:-w People, people, people. When they are giant size they are no longer refered to as "miniguns". They are then called rotary cannons. I mean, come on, that's at least 20mm [-( Sheesh!

Soooooo.... that Skyline seems good for a simple fun movie, a lot of other people talk smack though. http://www.movieviral.com/2010/11/13/sk ... e-a-movie/
In the sexy way!

Here's a webcomic I gave up on. You might like if you're into military and gaming stuff

Went to see Megamind the other night. Definitely worth the price of admission:

Do you know what the difference is between a villain and a supervillain? Presentation!

As for Skyline, I got a chuckle out of JollyJack's review of it.

Up on Apple's Movie Trailers page:

Green Lantern
Been looking forward to this one, even though I've never been a huge follower of that particular comic. Looks like they are keeping a lot of his fellow Lanterns close to the comic appearance.

And this one looks interesting: Cowboys and Aliens

Saw the trailer for this while seeing Megamind, and thought it looked cute, though a video for me probably: Tangled (aka Rapunzel).

I just got back from Harry Potter. It was pretty closely kept with the book, and was cut off at the perfect place.

Me? I'm actually considering doing something I haven't done for a long time... going to a midnight release of a movie. Of course, I'm talking about Tron: Legacy. :D Egads, I'm so geeking out in anticipation of this movie. As a kid, I loved the original movie... I actually owned the novelization, which I read over and over. I hope this movie lives up to its hype!
