Musopticon? Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) ^Supremacy was very good, but I agree that Identity had a better pace. I watched Francois Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 yesterday and it was great. Truffaut has terrific talent and raw skill and that's why I wasn't nearly as conscious of the freedoms the movie took from 451 story. I sort of missed the hound though. Edit: Truffaut, with t, not d. Thanks Baley.* *If I want you to nitpick, I'll ask you. Edited September 8, 2006 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Volourn Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) Benchwarmers - Better than it ought to be. Some of the characters were simply beyond irrating; but a lovely dovely sports film. She's All That - Some of the acting was over the top; but I overall enjoyed it. Amanady Bynes makes a beautiful young woman, and a very scary man. Too bad she's too young for me, and I'm a pig for even looking at her. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Edited September 8, 2006 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Pop Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 The Road Warrior. It's practically Fallout canon It's certainly better than the original Mad Max and the third one, that's for sure. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Musopticon? Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Yojimbo, by Akira Kurosawa. Ooh, aah, woah! Awesome is a word too thin and hollow to properly laud this masterpiece. It's like a samurai wedstern, excpet that the characters don't look constantly constipated like in the trademark western movies. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Musopticon? Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 He doesn't need to. I live in a student commune, ffs. Just change whiskey to cheap beer and bacon with tuna.

Volourn Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 V For Vendetta - Overrated. The main character is a retard. Pathetic. If it wans't for Natalie Portman doing an awesome acting job, I'd have thrown this in the trash. Some of the other actors did a greta job too. V was a bit more toelrable as the movie went on (still bad though); but at the start he was so annoying I nearly shut the movie off in disgust. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Dark_Raven Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Schindler's List Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
alanschu Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 A fan-freaking-tastic movie, in every sense of the word. I remember watching it in Grade 12, and I missed a day. So I ended up renting it and watching it at home anyways. Both Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes give phenomenal performances!
Dark_Raven Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 It is a great movie. Full of sadness and in a sense, redemption in the main character. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Dark Moth Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 V For Vendetta - Overrated. The main character is a retard. Pathetic.

V was a bit more toelrable as the movie went on (still bad though); but at the start he was so annoying I nearly shut the movie off in disgust. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Say what? For me it was the opposite - Weaving did a good job while Portman's acting left a lot to be desired. Not to mention in the film she looked like she was going anorexic. I think my main gripe with the film was that it was just too painfully political; lot's of anti-theism and stabs at current political regimes. That aside though, I enjoyed it overall. I also found it to be very 1984-like. And to state the obvious, it's coincidence that the corrupt leader had hair similar to that of Adolph Hitler.

Both Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes give phenomenal performances! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Apparently Fiennes said that the writer (either Thomas Keneally (book) or Steven Zaillian (screenplay)), was in danger of making Goeth's character the protagonist, as his tribulations were so interesting.

Amentep Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Saw Hollywoodland. By splitting the story between George Reeves and the fictional detective they don't really do justice to either story. They also really gloss over the real Reeves, IMO, and don't do a good job of portraying all of the potential angles (they skip over one of the most popular theories, that it was an accidental shooting caused by a drunken Reeves playing with his gun) plus they hammer the (untrue) angle that he was typecast, out of work and despondant. Overall a dissapointment. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Volourn Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) "Do you just find out what's the general opinion on a movie and then decide to go against it?" No. I believe it's just that I'm not a conformist. I like lots of movies that the 'majority' likes. V is NOT one of them for the reasons above. Perhaps, the problem is that you are too worried abouyt what others think and cna't make your own mind in what you like or dislike. I like what I like whether other people like it or not. Darth Moth: P.S. Just because I dislike a movie you personally love does not mean I personally attacked you, bub. Shocking, I know! P.S.S. And, it's not like I said the movie was completely horrible. I even wrote some things I liked about it. P.S.S. I didn't say I disliked it either. I said it was OVERRATED. HUGE difference.

Draken Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I liked Roger and Me. I also was watching Mrs. Robinson this afternoon. Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body
Pop Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) I liked Roger and Me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did too. Micheal Moore still makes a mockery of his craft. " at least now he does. Roger & Me was certainly his best. I guess it's not really a "movie", per se, but I'm preparing to watch seasons 3-5 of the Shield. Not all tonight, of course, but in due time. Great show, can't wait for the next season. Edited September 11, 2006 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
