I saw I AM LEGEND! The effects are awesome, and Smith really impressed me with his acting. He was brilliant.

I finally got around to watching that movie. Yeeeaaaa, not so good. X_X

You're talking about Geisha, ne?

Yup. Not only was I turned off by the lack of Japanese actresses but it was sooooo boring. I fell asleep within the first half an hour.

Did you read the book, Mons? I found it fascinating. But I haven't seen the movie.

The books is great. I liked Memoirs... but more so for the visual and directing. I don't quite remember what the story was... :beaten:

I have and I loved it! The movie compared to the book was a disappointment.

Shame. I guess i'll watch it when it comes to TV

We have a Book/Reading thread.

True, but we were sorta discussing the book and movie together... and the movie was brought up first. ;)

I agree, JYP is the most unattractive person ever! Never liked him. His music is bizarre and his clothing style....yea. Gross. I'll have to show you a picture I found one of these days. It's....scary.

:rofl:

Well, the Korean press is always out to get Rain. One minute they're calling him the pride of Korea then the next he's the shame. Makes me angry. They're so fickle and expect him to be perfect. Sorry, I get really mad whenever stuff like that comes up. I admit, I turned into a fangirl now. :hehe: :mrgreen:

But his name is mentioned in Speed Racer. Not as his stage name, Rain, but his real name.

And this was like years ago too, and he's still wearing freaky outfits. I'd post them but it's not the right thread and I don't think you'd want to see it, since you got a taste of what JYP's all about.

Here are some caps from the Speed Racer trailer:

OK, I noticed something in this picture. I'm not too familiar with Speed Racer, but isn't the number on the car supposed to be 5?? :headscratch:

Thanks for sparing us... :hug:

Hopefully, that's just in the trailer, else that's a BIG faux pas... :beaten:

Or maybe it's explained in the movie.... :sweat:

OMG.. Speed Racer... i hope the movie doesnt suck.. :beaten:
judging by the trailer.. :sweat:

If it means anything, it's directed by the same guys who did The Matrix...

yeah i know.. The Matrix is a classic.. Matrix Reloaded is a crap.. Revolution is decent (a little).. i just really hope they dont blow this one.. :shakehead:

anyway guys i watched IAM LEGEND.. and wynter is right.. Will Smith delivers a brilliant performance.. and also the dog.. but the bad news is the plot, so weak and slow.. maybe i just have to read the book to fully understand what really is the whole thing's about.. the reason why i stayed at the movie theater for 1 and a half hour is Will's acting.. if not i probably walkout the theater..
