Splice

[cheerfulgreek]

Did anyone see this? What did ya think?

I haven't seen it yet, but I really want to! It sounds good.

We went to see the last showing on Friday night and it was sold out.

I heard it was awesome. I'll see it soon enough.

Splice and Avatar are two of the best movies I've seen this year. I would even say that they're two of the best movies I've ever seen (along with Jurassic Park and Knowing), simply because all four of them are about my biggest hobbies/interests.

Splice is on my list, but it probably won't make it until it comes out on DVD.

Did you like Splice because of a combination of the plot along with the visuals? Or did you like just the visuals.

See, I loved Avatar for how it looked but absolutely hated the "plot."

My boyfriend and I were really excited to see this... and we walked out of the theater wishing we hadn't. It was pretty good up to the last 30 minutes, then things got really messed up. You'll know what I mean if you see it. We were either laughing (it wasn't supposed to be funny) or totally grossed out/uncomfortable. It went from being a cool sci-fi thriller to horror, which isn't my cup of tea.

I still think you're as looney as three fruit cakes stacked up on top of each other.

And there's no way scientists would do something like that. It would never happen. It's a movie.

There's sick and then there is sick as hell. That was sick as hell.

I saw the previews, but I haven't seen the movie yet. I'm planning on going this week.

I liked Splice and Avatar for totally different reasons than what most people liked or would like them. My love for those two movies had nothing to do with the visuals at all. Special effects are always a benefit, but that's only about 10% of what I look for in a really good sci fi movie.

Umm, you really didn't have to type that in white, ya know. None of that revealed anything in the movie.

Okay, Mr. Roeper, what you're not getting is that no one really knows what's going on behind closed doors. I mean, all I was saying was that once you separate the DNA from everything else that make up a cell, mainly protein and fats, who's to say it can't happen. I mean, of course it would vary, depending on whether they're after bacterial, viral, plant, or animal DNA, but in a nutshell it involves the same chemicals. Like, take human DNA for example. Since you have a complete copy of your genes in most of your cells, anyone who wants to study them can use a tissue sample from almost any part of your body. I mean, if a Dr. and/or scientist needs your DNA, they go for the easiest option. They just need your white blood cells to do it, and all that takes is a little blood.

lol
-Whatever, I'm not "looney". I didn't say I agree with it, I was just saying that I think it could be done, if it hasn't already, because the simplest way to do it would be to just change the DNA slightly. And the simplest way to change DNA would be to change its code or alphabet. As long as you have the two major componets for life, I don't see why not. That's all I was saying. You make it seem like I want to.

Just saw it. I really liked it. I shall ignore the "inside you" corniness at the end and look forward to Splice 2. Splice babydaddy. Splice...you ARE the father!!!!

It had its gross moments from beginning to end. I can't believe he banged a splice. LOL. I swear I almost died.

And the splice sex change was crazy but clever because it matched what was going on with the other creatures. It also reminds us that creating something in a lab doesn't mean we can control the outcome.

Problem: We went to dinner afterwards and there were a lot of babies and children around. I almost gagged everytime the children made noises or talked. I kept thinking of Dren because they sounded like Dren. LOL. I quickly lost my appetite. Then some teenager walked in looking like an overweight Dren with a ponytail. Wide ass forehead and all. I said "Oh shit! She looks like a chubby splice." LOL. Argh.

I hope someone wasn't planning on seeing the movie...

I saw it. I HATED it. It was just ...wrong. Somehow it didn't quite work for me. Not to mention the science was God-awful. My biologist brain couldn't get over that
