Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

 

Yawn, next.

 

Been refining my sci fi list, a sort of "best of the best" thing that I would recommend to someone with too little time to watch dozens of movies:

Why always A Clockwork Orange or Fahrenheit 451 on those lists. Classic.. yes, maybe.. not terribly good though. I like most everything else on there.

Na na  na na  na na  ...

greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

That is all.

I have a sort of mixed opinion on Kubrick with his exquisite cinematography on one hand and very literal stories on the other (barring Odyssey 2001). To be honest "A clockwork orange" is just another dystopia themed novel out of a hundred such novels in what's really a dead end genre. I put it on the list to give credit where credit is due, as a nicely shot and significant movie but my personal favorite it is not (Tarkovsky is).

 

Kubrick's movies leave me cold.

Hold on a minute. I may want to spend a good two hours thumping Kubrick in the face with a boot over 2001, but Clockwork Orange gets better every time I see it.

Ahh Kubrick, all those fond childhood memories of mine. I gotta give it up for Paths of Glory, one of the best war films ever.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Kubrik's films, to me, are artistically/technically masterful but emotionally they leave me flat or cold. So I admire them on the one hand, but they often bore me & I have no desire to ever watch them again. Full Metal Jacket was probably my fave of his work.

 

I've watched a lot of movies lately, mostly playing catch-up. I won't go through them all, but I will say that Toy Story3 was pretty awesome, Alice in Wonderland disappointed me, and Centurion was a violently fun action chase flick. Oh...also...for upcoming films...I'm totally against DiCaprio as The Great Gatsby. But then, I don't particularly like DiCaprio so I'm biased.

lol....I don't hate DiCaprio. He's adequate in and fits certain types of roles. I just find him kind of one-note...not wooden, not that at all...but somehow kind of flat. I don't think he's appropriate for Gatsby. Just me tho.

Talking of Sucker Punch...

 

I just watched Elektra Luxx (see, segued in via Carla Gugino).

A little disjointed in someways, but.. bizarely amusing in places.

 

Pregnant porn star Elektra Luxx is trying to make a split from the adult film industry by making a living teaching sex classes to housewives. But her life is thrown into disarray when a flight attendant with ties to Elektra's past approaches her for a favor. Chaos and hilarity ensue as fiancees, private investigators, a twin sister, best selling authors and even the Virgin Mary force her to face up to an unexpected series of decisions and revelations.

Quite possibly the best actor ever. So underrated, and the sheer fact he has yet to win in Oscar for any one of a dozen movies is a travestry that proves the awards are a joke.

 

I enjoyed Great Gatsby as a kiddie in school - both film and book - so a retelling might be cool. Been awhile, and abrely remember anything about it outside of the characetrs being interetsing but it was light on action but heavy on the drama.

Surely your most transparent trolling to date.

 

"Best."

"Actor."

"Ever."

 

Go sit in a corner and think about what you just said.

The truth is the truth. Even in his boring movies 9Aviator) he stilla cts aesomely. Even when the material is average at best 9Romeo & Juliet remake) he still acts awesomely. Even when he is on screen with other superb actors (ala Jack Nicholson) he is still the best actor on the screen. Only a handful of actors are on his level.
