Knowing my own propensity for being thirty minutes behind the curve and the fact that I've only given a cursory glance to the last few topics (holy shit, there's a whole new base, now?), I'm guessing I'm just being redundant in posting this link. But if not, it's a pre-release of the Hulk movie on bittorrent. And I'll have my copy downloaded in only 261 hours!

By the by, the AICN talkback dealing with this topic could solve the whole North Korean crisis. If Bush just channeled the sheer righteous indignation generated therein, he could supply power to the whole of East Asia and deny Kim any reason to use plutonium reactors.

Hi, Debaser. My great-grandfather was killed by a basketball, a soccerball and a rugby ball. Please do not make jokes like this again, or at least keep them within the Troll Room. I hope when you are older someone is around to protect YOU from basketballs, soccer balls and rugby balls.

Just got the entire thing and burnt the first disc. Runs just fine.

You know, I never got around to designating the sequential 261 hours needed to download this. Every time I think to, it's like fucking 2:00 AM, and I guess bittorrent is supposed to work best during peak hours, right?

But, you know what's beginning to piss me off: The fucking ad campaign. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "Debaser bitching about crappy ads? Gee, that's something completely new and different that I've never seen before." But, really. They're trying to sell the story of a big angry green dude with daddy issues as a fawking art film, and I can't imagine anyone sees the Hulk chucking a tank, hammer throw style, across the desert and subsequently expects the next Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

You want me to run out and see your fucking movie, Marvel? Stick in the "ass to ass" scene from Requiem for a Dream that pissant Blockbuster edited out of the copy I rented. Otherwise shut up and stop trying to convince me I'll miss some sort of "cinematic event" if I don't happen to work up the energy to catch this one.

Dude, quit renting shit from Blockbuster.

Good scene. Creepy fucking movie. About as tough to watch as <i>Pi</i>.

While Blockbuster is not the only game in the proverbial town, all the other games do the same shit and aren't quite as close by. So it's either rent from Blockbuster, or buy every movie I ever want to watch.

And I found Requiem harder to watch than Pi, just for that guy's fucking arm in the end. Give me a hole in the skull over that thing any day.

The Hulk. Why does this thing look like Shrek 2?

Yeah, I found that to be worse too. I rented Requiem from Blockbuster and that scene with the "end to end” was still in there. Unless I just missed something. A lot of people said it was a shocking scene and it didn't impress me much (unless you count everything that happened to the other people, how they do a montage of what’s going on, then that was awesome). Of course when you watch porn you get desensitized to that kind of stuff. I did see them using it so I don't know if part of it got cut out or not. The movie as a whole though was more than I expected. I loved the way it was filmed. The elapsed time scenes were genius.

Ah, but why did Shrek... have to rip off the Hulk?

But I agree, the Hulk is much too bright. Oh, well.

High Brow:

As I understand it, (pissant) Blockbuster didn't edit the scene out entirely, BUT they did hack it down a bit to garner an R rated version. The scene still works, for the most part, and I have never seen the original for comparison, but it just pisses me off in principle; because I can't imagine any kid ever ever watching that movie anyway.

Low Brow:

You know what I never got? Everywhere I go, everyone's bitching about the Hulk CGI and, y'kown, fine. It's not great. But, you know what?

The Spiderman CGI was fucking awful and the scenes of him battling Goblin with voices dubbed in afterwords was so very, very Power Rangers. And no one ever seems to mention that.

So, Worm, tell me: Should I actually plunk down my matinee price to see this thing?

Well, I really ... ohh sunrise bye!

EDIT: Right, it is a decent movie with decent action. The screen transition was a bit wierd but spiderman wasn't any better than it I think.
