MOVIES YOU'RE EXCITED FOR? LES MIS LES MIS LES MISSSS

You guys have no idea how psyched I am for Les Mis. Way more than my boyfriend is psyched for the Hobbit which is a ridiculous amount.

Thomas September 20th, 2012 3:59 PM

0-0 LE. MIS.
I am so excited for that.
Anne Hathaway in that trailer is amazing. Her voice.
I've replayed the trailer a million times.

Can't wait.

That is all.

What's wrong with Orson Scott Card? I personally loved Ender's Game and the rest of the books I read about him. Which reminds me, I still need to finish Xenocide. I lost the book a while back.

He's super religious and has some controversial political views. He is an extreme advocate against gay rights and gay marriage. I know that's the main thing people don't like him for.

Shiny Celebi September 20th, 2012 4:16 PM

If they make Mockingjay two movies, I will be super annoyed. Its really not nessesary. The reason they do that is to make more money. I wouldnt be surprised at all if that happens :/

They've already announced that they are doing it. First this...and then they're making The Hobbit into 3 movies? Really? Hollywood is getting ridiculous.

Well he belongs to my religion... Just thought I'd put that out there. And even though I think gay marriage is wrong, its not like I hate it extremely. And I could care less about politics.

I'm totally stoked for Total Recall! :O The original was so corny lol. Old Arnold movies. The new one looks sweet!

_Dean_ September 20th, 2012 5:09 PM

Sadly I have not seen it yet. ;__; I really wanted to. Last night my friends and I went to the dollar theater to see Spiderman for like the 4th time hahaha.

Ugh lucky. We used to have a dollar theatre here, but they tore is down like 15 years ago. :( I went all the time as a kid...man I miss that place. And yeah Spiderman is awesome! I saw it twice in theatres.

Nothing at all like the original, haha. The Colony is in Australia instead of Mars. But it's still a really cool reimagining. Highly recommended.

Haha I remember that! Good times! I remember watching it on tv

Thomas September 20th, 2012 5:16 PM

The scene on Mars from the original always freaked me out when I saw it as a kid.

I feel like this reply wasn't meant for me. That's the wrong series.

It's like this huge trend with teen movies these days, and Hunger Games is such a big money maker, they know people will pay to see a two-parter. :/

Like Twilight, which I'm super excited for. *shot*


It took up way too much space. :P lol.

I thought they already announced that they're splitting Mockingjay into two movies. I'm not quite sure, but I remember reading something about it.

It was a joke. No reason to rustle your jimmies, lol.

I think it's time for a thread title change. "Jimmies: What are they and how exactly do you rustle them."

Lmao! I'm saying the company Apple are a bunch of elitists because of how they design their software to be so tight knit.

Oh, jimmies. You do know how to rustle.

I would rather have elitists making software than people who couldn't care less! :3


ruby September 21st, 2012 7:46 AM

Ooh, look at you guys with your fancy thread icon~

Esper September 21st, 2012 8:09 AM

I finally got myself a smart phone. The gal at the store was helping me figure out which to get and when the option of the iphone came up she was all "You don't want that."

Oryx September 21st, 2012 8:27 AM

Yeah when I got my Galaxy S3 the guy, who would have gotten a bigger commission if he had talked me into an iPhone, told me he was glad I didn't get it and that the S3 is the best phone on the market right now. xD;

Thomas September 21st, 2012 8:38 AM

If you guys got your phone at an AT&T they actually have lately been telling their employees to steer customers away from the iPhone.

But having a company that doesn't care is fit for a person that doesn't care!

That's what I did. Why are they doing that?

Oryx September 21st, 2012 8:40 AM

Yeah mine was AT&T, that might be why. When my boyfriend got his S3 at Verizon they didn't try to steer him towards the iPhone either, but he was pretty firm on "this is what I want" so it's possible they just thought that his mind was made up (it was).

Well this was from an article I read a couple of months ago:
http://m.bgr.com/2012/08/01/att-iphone-sales-decrease-managers-orders/

Looks like it was updated with a statement from AT&T since the last time I read it though.

Dter ic September 21st, 2012 2:11 PM

Is this about the iPhone 5 we're talking here? well part of the reason of the "Stay away from the iPhone" might be to do with the sadly terrible maps in IOS 6 on the iPhone 5. Perhaps they don't want customers to complain to AT&A (people assuming it has to do with them)

PlatinumDude September 21st, 2012 3:29 PM

I only got my iPhone 4 a few days ago. I don't think I'll be getting the iPhone 5 any time soon.

Algo Fonix September 21st, 2012 3:32 PM

The guy that sold me my S3 was a total bro about it. Of course I'd also decided I wanted it before I went in, but yeah.

_Dean_ September 21st, 2012 3:54 PM

I've never really been an iPhone guy. I do enjoy apple products like the iPad and iPod (classic, that is) but as far as phones go I'm more of an Android guy. I love my Droid3! :D

Honest September 21st, 2012 4:00 PM

I have a cheap phone from Metro Piece of Sh-, I mean, Metro PCS. I hate it with a passion.




4th PCversary for me, yayyyyyy.

Gabri September 21st, 2012 4:09 PM

Popping in to say that Apple products are horrendously overrated and overpriced and that Android-based phones are amazingly good and do as well as an iPhone for like a quarter of the price.

I have an HTC Explorer and am more than happy with it.

/smeaks out

_Dean_ September 21st, 2012 4:26 PM

I handled the HTC One X the other day at walmart and its awesome. The picture's it took looked better than the iPhone. :O

Morkula September 21st, 2012 9:52 PM

I have a Droid Incredible 2 right now, but when I upgrade (hopefully early-ish 2013) I really want a Galaxy S3. Looks like such a great phone.

Meganium September 21st, 2012 10:20 PM

Currently, I have the Samsung Infuse 4G. Been with it for a year now and it's very glitchy nowadays. The worst part is that I'm stuck with 2.2, and it really sucks. :( My mom and I are currently discussing about upgrading our phones to the iPhone. We don't plan to get the 5, maybe at least the 4S. It'd be alright to just step out of the androidland for a while.

CarefulWetPaint September 21st, 2012 10:25 PM

I have to agree, I have an Iphone 4S and Im not the a huge fan of it. But saying that it is better than the old piece a that I had before. I do think that perhaps the androids may be better than the iPhones..

Also I went outside today! Vampirism nearly killed me though. What a wonderful day it was though.

Thomas September 22nd, 2012 6:21 AM

First rule of Fight Club: Don't talk about Fight Club
 
@Geoff I have a Droid Incredible 2 also. I switch it out with my iPhone every once and a while. Have you rooted it yet? I did and I loaded a custom Rom called CyanogenMod7 and it really gave the phone new life. Much better than HTC's Sense Rom.

As far as a the Galaxy S III...I'm really nervous about getting it because of Samsung's TouchWiz skin they have over android. Normally that wouldn't be a problem...I would just root it and load another Rom on it...but I've only dealt with HTC phones in the pad before. I'm not sure how different the process is :/

I think my best bet for my upgrade is the Galaxy Nexus or the iPhone 5

Shiny Celebi September 22nd, 2012 7:53 AM

I don't know. Im thinking about an iPhone 5 when I upgrade but I haven't made up my mind what I want. I will look at other smartphones definately and make a decision.

Dter ic September 22nd, 2012 12:18 PM

IF you do go for the iPhone I suggest you hold off for a bit for the current problems in IOS 6 get ironed out in a update later.(Maps)

Speaking of custom ROM's I'm excited for the JB release of AOKP that should come out as RC in future ;D

Nihilego September 22nd, 2012 3:36 PM

Alright guys, we're done here. Expect a new DCC in a few hours which Livewire or I will stick.

Have fun!
