You ALL missed it...The best movie of 2007 was definatly Steve Nelson the Movie: 2007. I liked the part where Steve did that thing...it was AWSOME!
I am Legend is ok, They show a big ass Batman Superman(it's allso the newer supermanreturns/batmanbegins logos) logo on the Markee at movie house(Sorry, james Stewert, hello movie house!).
Great Ep. Happy holidays guy's!
Allso, I am I the only one who doesnt like the Lord Of The Rings?
No, other people don't like it. Here are the main reasons why:
1. They just don't like the fantasy genre/ too much fantasy for them.
2. Short attention span
3. Some stupid superficial reason like its different from the books, they think the characters are all ugly, they hate Orlando Bloom.
TOP FOUR:
I am legend, hot fuzz, superbad and the simpsons movie
CANT WAIT FOR: Cloverfield
to se the trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvNkGm8mxiM
The Futurama movie (released only on DVD) was MUCH, MUCH better than the simpsons movie
I'm going to agree with Jacob-ne-a wrote Cloverfield looks to be EPIC.
Poor Justin! I liked Ratatouille.

OK JOSH! you need to let it go! stop asking Erik and Steve to eat a cookie! so build a bridge, and get over it
I can't believe none of you are looking forward to Cloverfield! I have very high hopes for that.
ahem...
I believe it's just the movies that were coming out at the end of 2007, not 2008.
What's the big deal? Ratatouille was amazing!!! Although I personally thought that Meet the Robinsons was better.
Best Movies of 2007:
The Bourne Ultimatum
Into The Wild
Knocked Up
No Country For Old Men
Superbad
Movies to See This Holiday Season:
I Am Legend
Juno
Sweeney Todd
There Will Be Blood

Yaaa Justin Ratatouillle was awesme!!!!!!!!!
Shut the F*** up eric i like Ratatouillle Ya BITCH!
Ratatouillle was great. Where is your child-like sense of fun?
Damn right!
atoment was shot a few miles away from where i live
YEAH, Ratatouille rocked, so sue me, or delete.. I'd like to see you try
Am I the only one who thinks that both Narnia and LOTR sucked, but LOTR sucked waaayyy more? And am I also the only one who thinks that Golden Compass was better than both of them? I mean, not everyone can have bad taste in movies, right?
I don't like LOTR ither!
YAY!, I'm Not alone!
What? The Golden Compass Sucked!
No, but you can. Do you want a whole play by play of why Golden Compass sucked?
whooooo ratatouille
(not)
haha jk i haven't seen many movies.
transformers was good
best movie EVER! i loved it!!!
too many humans
WWhat about Die Hard 4.0. I went to the cinema but paid no attention to it. Me and my friends did voice overs...all about how AMAZINGLY bald Bruce Willis is.
wher did u get the cool santa suit?
Hey guys! Great episode.
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night"
Man, I love that movie... I you know what I mean.
Yeah so whats the point of this? you dont have to post pointless videos like this. the first q and erik is the best. now u guys are just screwing off....this video has no good content to it.
Dude, it's Christmas. Erik is on vacation right now. We needed a quick break to be with our families. These eps are a fun way to end the year.
i agree justin, its called Q&Erik, not Q & answer every question people have for us ERIK.....so you guys have the right to answer whatever questions you want! i liked this episode, and cant wait till next week!
You know... I actually agree with you Indy. That episode did´nt really have a point. Its like you guys are REALLY low on ideas... although... its was kinda fun to watch.
The Golden Compass was very good and Ratatoulle* was okay-ish (Don't hurt me!) Great ep guys!
P.S.
I like Jared's hat... and pie.
1. 300
2. Saw 4
3. Wild Hogs
4. Ratatouillle
5. Spiderman 3 (only because venom rules!)
Most looking foward too:
1. National Treasure: Book of Secrets
2. Sweeney Todd
3. There Will Be Blood
Didn't anyone besides me like "Across the Universe"? It was a GREAT movie! Steve sould watch it. Steve would agree with me. And that's not just because I hold the antitdote for that poisoned drink I slipped him...
I really wanted to see that. I'm pretty upset that I missed it.
Top 5 of 2007:
-The Bourne Ultimatum
-Knocked Up
-Zodiac
-Breach
-RATATOUILLE
Very good sections. No Country for Old Men was outstanding and i completely agree that the Darjeeling Limited was a great movie.
My Favorite was Borne Ultimatum.
My least Favorite was Transformers, that movie sucked.
YOU should be the one getting cookies
SICKO? Puhlease. Let's just worship the ground of a self proclaimed documentarian who's movies are more fiction.

Good on ya Justin - Glad someone has good taste, lol. Pixar's awesome.

SICKO? Come on guys, you Berkely communists! I kid, whatever your'e into.
Lots of great films this year.
"Before the Devil Knows your Dead" was chilling and the last 30 min. was amazing.
"Death at a Funeral" was really funny
"Knocked Up" is a total classic, but isn't all of Apatow's films classic?
I am Legend isn't really a contender, but it was a great analaysis of the human condition.
Oh! almost forgot! "Waitress" was REALLY good too.
Ratatouille what a scam.
Cars was the start of Pixar's downspiral.
ratatouille is awesome!
GO SEE I Am Legend! It was awsome!
No country for old men is amazing. Just saw it last night.
I'm Sorry Justin but Rat-tat-pooie Sucked!!!
It had promise but in the end it stunk. >.<
the red letters thing is so true.
!!!
Happy Chris-ma-ka!
Hey guys u know the movie " I Am Legend " well i saw it and the commercials are basically the hype of the movie. I recommend u don't see it because it would be a waste of your money
Steve, why were you holding onto a guitar when you didnt even play it...Erik is right, you are a bad elf:P
He did play it... it was ambience music. And leave steve alone. He looks kinda sad in this episode. Poor Steve.
Steve played it but it f'ked up the audio during while he was playing and I couldn't cut fast, so I excluded those sections.
ratatoullie was nice and i bet your not going to delete this comment (you wouldn't) next time watch the movie and you'll like it unless if you thinks it's f*ck
Just to make Justin happy, our school newspaper (for some odd reason) rated Ratatouille the best animated film of ALL time.
Well my 'Best of 07'list is a little different. I'm surprised no one has mentioned some of these.
1. American Gangster
2. I Am Legend
3. Michael Clayton
4. Bourne Ultimatum
5. Knocked Up
Want to see:
Into the Wild, No Country For Old Men, Hot Fuzz, Juno, Superbad

I love Ratatouille
The Host
Hot Fuzz
Across The Universe
Hot Rod
Planet Terror
But, Ratatouille was the first movie from Pixar I liked.
i love rattoulie!
plz don't delete me
WHERE WAS ACROSS THE UNIVERSE????????? IT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER IN THE WHOLE GALAXY (exept for mars cuz mars didn't show it in any of the theatres)
=)
but seriously it was awsome
What about AVP2? Seems like it will be good.
You guys forgot
"Into The Wild"...
And....Ratatouille was a great 3D movie...but...to kiddish..
yeah.. uh rat tat tuy sucked
I am legend kind of sucked,
The Golden Compass also was not that great,
Beowulf was disappointing,
so my five of the year are:
#1. Juno, the soundtrack is so good that blind people will enjoy this movie
#2. No Country For Old Men, nuff' said
#3. Hot Fuzz
#4. No Country For Old Men, watch it again
#5. Juno, you weren't paying enough attention the first time around, see it again
Go See I Am Legend if You like stupid movies. But the People were funny in it
my favs would have to be hot fuzz,superbad,simpsons movie,live free die hard and,i am Legend was good but it killed the book so hard.oh and if any of you say a cristmas story i will kill so slow and panfuly you will cry blood and not just that i will hang you up side down till you see red for days becuse i hate that movie it played 24/7 on the usa channel not just that my famly loves the movie so from cristmas ev to the day after cristmas that is all could watch on tv so if you say that movie i will kill myself but on the good side i don't have cable any more so no more of that movie and you guys rock.
Statistics show that people who can't spell Christmas tend to hate "A Christmas Story".
do you guys believe in santa?
If you've read the book I am Legend then there's a good chance you won't like the movie. It is TOTALLY different.
What is it with people and getting all mad because movies are different from the books they're based on. Of course they're different, that doesn't automatically result in a bad plot, one dimensional characters, bad acting, or crummy visuals.
I Robot wasn't even remotely the same as the book, I still found it entertaining.
Meanwhile I've heard The Golden Compass was very true to the book (a reader claimed it was exactly how she'd pictured it), yet it was miserable.
hey kitzman im watching the christmas story and you cant stop me
dude you are an ass hole
My Top 5 of 2007
1. There Will Be Blood - haven't even seen it yet but i know it will be that good.
2. Lars and the Real Girl - ryan gosling deserves every award for his performance
3. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - intense, perfectly acted, and with volumes to say
4. Once - pure indie perfection
5. The Darjeeling Limited - Wes Anderson = genius every time
Top 2 Most Overrated of 2007
1. No Country For Old Men - pointless, pretentious garbage people love only because critics tell them it's art
2. Superbad - not a bad movie, but only funny once (Knocked Up was a million times better)
No Country is art...There Will Be Blood was okay but no oscar material, the only good part was the acting the direction sucked, the story needed work, and it was too long, I like long movie (The Godfather for example) but the movie waen't good enought to be 3+ hours.
Sweeney Todd is the best movie I've seen all year. Amazing!
Dude the first Scary movie was hilarious, in fact the only one that was really horrible was the second one.
I am Legend was pretty good, although I have a in explicable feeling you guys wont like it.
The Golden Compass sucked, you're better off spending your ten dollars on another special effect build.
Mad props, Grindhouse is on my top five. In fact I think its my number one. To bad it bombed at the box office, I hope the dvd sales are making up for it. I'd love to see Don't and Thanksgiving in Grindhouse II.
Ok I need to stop criticizing everyone and put down my top five, feel free to take pot shots at them I don't mind some disagreement.
1. Grindhouse
2. Transformers
3. Hot Fuzz
4. Superbad
5. I Am Legend
You know I think I've only seen seven movies this year. Oh well I liked five of them.
What's with Cloverfield? I'm a little skeptical about a film which there's virtually no information about.
And what was with the knew trailer, there was this decontamination shower, is there supposed to be some virus element with this thing? Is there more then one monster?
I have a feeling that no matter what the monster turns out to be, we'll be extremely disappointed.
Well, I can answer some of those questions
SPOILERS!!!!!!
1. There is a virus that happens through this drink called slusho.
2. There are more then one monster but they are not against each other.
I for one think this movie will kill in the box office and I am really excited for it! To read the whole synopsis then go to www.1-18-08news.com and go to the link on one of the sections.
Then what was that thing about "we've got a bite!"?
hey what is Cloverfield
i have a question
on sony vegas 8.0 how do you change the video format so it can be uploaded on youtube
No Country For Old Men was awesome... Amazing characterization, lighting, directing, dialogue, and cinematography...
Neilio, maybe if you actually watched the movie instead of saw the movie you would like it better... I heard it was pretty good going into it, and that was all. When I left I was awestruck... I had no preconcieved notions that it was art before I saw it...
wOOT! Ratatouille
i love rattitowie
haha i was really dissapointed with I am Legend...
I loved ratatouille as well. It was a good film. I am legend is great too.
I cant wait until the next batman comes out it looks cool
i am legend wuz cool 2
what do ya'll do for a job?really
my top 1*
1.rattatoulie
*i have only seen 1 movie this year!
ratatouille rocks
hey
i did, in fact like ratatouille.
A bit late so i dont deserve to even say it, but HEY! How on earth anyone who wants to see Golden Compass can dissmiss Ratatouille is ridiculous. That makes me never want to watch the show again...but then id never learn anything so i guess, oh well. But still, Ratatouille was the best film last year, Golden Compass can suck piss.
And ALSO!! How can someone mock Ratatouille, when they thought the Simpsons Movie was one of the best films of the year! Madness, it was fucking DIRE! 18 years too late, and considering i have an interview somewhere with Groening saying he'd never do one, it wouldnt work bla bla, it makes it utterly preposterous! Thanks again tho.x ;)
I loved Transformers, I loved the Simpsons Movie and I love Walk Hard. All great movies. I don't know why everybody within the business seems to hate Transformers so much. I thought it was great.
I Love Ratatollie
Steve Jobs like owns pixar sorta? and i am a mac addict so by default i love ratatouille. enough said
I'm glad no one said "There Will Be Blood" it wasen't a bad movie but it is sooooo overrated!
I liked ratatouille and narnia! They RULE! BWAHAHA! (kid movies will take over your brain) and ya I know narnia isn't exactly a kid movie
...and golden compass is evil, im dead serious. -_-
