    Watching The Avengers on Blu-Ray on our HDTV. Compared to a DVD..wow. First Blu-Ray player we've ever owned: my brother's new PS3.

    Just finished watching The Avengers on Blu-Ray with the family. Those last 30 minutes or so are so damn good. Love the last scene.

    Les Mis opened to $18m today. Django opened to $13m. Pretty darn good.

    I'm thinking of watching Les Miserables and/or Zero Dark Thirty. Has anyone watched both or either one? What're your thoughts?

    I'd also like to know if anyone has seen Zero Dark Thirty, seems quite a compelling movie.

    Not really interested in those musical type movies, even though our Aussie Hugh is in it :)

    Wait, Les Miserables is a musical? lol. I saw the cast and the poster and I was thinking of an olden-ish drama movie. So that leaves me with ZDT.

    I wanna see Les Miserables, too. I liked the old Liam Neeson version.

    Plus, Anne Hathaway is in this new one. :p

    Pfft, rather Scarlett Johansson any day of the week :D Can't wait for Hitchcock! :rolleyes:

    Anyway, just watched LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring over two days :p
    What's the difference between normal and extended versions?

    Hehe, don't get me wrong, I love me some Scarlett Johansson, too, one of my favorite actresses! :p

    The Extended Edition of FOTR has 30 mins of extra/extended scenes. I highly recommend watching the Extended Editions of all three films.

    Family movie day today. Watched Rise of the Guardians (lol) and Skyfall (again). RotG was better than I expected. It's pretty much The Avengers for kids, meh. Didn't really catch too much by watching Skyfall again. Not really interested in Les Mis. My gf on the other hand.. I just want to see Django Unleashed soon.

    So lemme get this straight, is Les Mis a musical? I liked the Liam Neeson version, but not a huge musical fan.

    Watch the BBC version with Benedict Cumberbatch. Great series (except for one hokey main villain).

    Out of all the Shelock Holmes films, I like the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce versions the best.

    I also like the RDJ movies, but I see those as more of a reimagining of the Sherlock Holmes character rather than a strict adaption of the books.

    Ugh no....I think from memory FotR only has about 10-15 mins of additional footage. TTT has about 30+ minutes extra while RotK has the best part of a hour's worth of extra footage.

    From Wikipedia:

    "On 12 November 2002, an extended edition was released on VHS and DVD, with 30 minutes of new material, added special effects and music, plus 20 minutes of fan-club credits, totaling to 219 minutes..."

    :p

    And yeah, well now I'm less interested in Les Mis knowing it's an all out musical...

    How the heck is it a joke? It's a great sci-fi movie decent story... Box office bomb because of its marketing and title but nonetheless, a movie worth watching.
