The topic here really needs changing.. it's been books for quite a few days now. How about films? :D
 
I was gonna see it and I almost did.. but then at the last second, the guy realised that maybe I wasn't over 18 xD Looks good from the advert though.

Hitler: "NEIN NEIN NEIN!"
Brad Pitt: "Oh yes yes yes!"

That's not fair. My boyfriend just turned 17 but he can't see it because it's an 18-rated film here. xD;

Not that he'd probably get asked for ID.
 
I'd recommend seeing District 9 (if you haven't seen it yet) over Inglorious Basterds.

Inglorious Basterds is a little slow in parts and its not what you'll expect if you're going on just the trailer. Its a Tarantino film though so I'd recommend checking it out anyway. Whats the rating for it in Aus? In NZ its R18. :/
 
I have yet to see Inglorious Basterds, but I have seen District 9 and I can attest to the awesomeness of this movie.
 
It's an 18 here =/ When I went to Amsterdam it was classed as a 16 and we were gonna go in but we ended up going to see My Sisters Keeper instead. Soppeh.
 
The UK film rating pee me off sometimes. Apperantly the last Harry Potter film is going to be a 15+. Did they realize that the majority of the readers and film fans of Harry Potter are 9-14 years old? They're gonna lose so much money if it turns out to be a 15+.
 
If the last Harry Potter film is a 15 it's gonna fail really badly.. Luckily, I think I'll be 15 by then. I'm 14 this month and I doubt the next one will be out next year. I hear they're splitting the last film up into two because they expect it'll be so long.

Yeah, that's what I've heard. I don't know why, since the last book was shorter than the sixth one.
 
I suspect they really want the last film to be excellent so they're going to try and add full detail which might require a lot of time.. Not too sure.
 
I still reckon they can do it in one film. Two and a half hours is more than enough for the last book in my mind
 
Well I think they'll be planning a much longer film than that if they're splitting it into 2. Must total between 4-5 hours.
 
I'd happily sit through a 3-4 hour film if it was any good. If they hadn't cut out so much of the good stuff from the fifth movie I would probably be interested in any of the new HP movies, but they did and they lost a fan. I guess I'll just have to wait another 15 years until someone else decides to remake the series and hopefully do it right, especially since there will easily be enough advancements in Movie tech to allow for things that are too touch or expensive today.
 
Problem is though, a lot of people wouldn't want to sit through a 4 hour film as it'd be too long going for them. It'd be a little long for me I have to admit.
 
I do realize that for most people 3-4 hours of a single movie would be rather pushing it, not to mention the strain on the projectionists at those movie theatres who are still using actual Film and are not digital yet. I remember my days doing that and the longest movie I ever came across was Master and Commander, which almost filled the Platter up. It would also be somewhat of an oddity to have an intermission in a movie, not only because nobody is used to that, but it also slightly breaks the temporary Suspension of Disbelief that engrosses the audience into the story.
I would have no problem with that, as I can keep my disbelief suspended and re-enter the story with no problems even if the intermission lasted 10 minutes, which is roughly the amount of time needed to change from on platter of film to another and re-thread the projector.
 
I just hope, like you said above, that Harry Potter is remade by someone who actually has time to go through the details of the film. I was really dissapointed with the latest movie - so many key parts in the book were missed out completley in the film. The biggest being in the spoiler below.

Spoiler:
 
The latest movie got bad reviews from almost everywhere. It was acclaimed "boring" because it had so many empty moments D;
