Bullshit about Movies

[Milkyway!]

Is this about No Country For Old Men? In my eyes, this film is about the inability of traditional forms of Western justice to deal with the type of criminal we see nowadays. In this film, Tommy Lee Jones is a very reserved, soft-spoken, honorable, and polite gentleman-Sheriff. He is all about upholding the law and making sure that the people in his town/jurisdiction do the right thing. But, implicit in such a way of doing things is the expectation that those whom you bring to justice are honorable and straight-forward themselves. Anton Chigurh isn't like this in the least. He's a principled man, but he only makes good on the promises he makes to other people, which are never that promising in the first place (e.g., if you tell me where the money is now, I won't kill your wife later on, but it's too late for you). In the end, Tommy Lee Jones can't save those whom Anton Chigurh goes after, and thus he sees himself as a failure. But, his failure isn't personal; rather, it has to do with the way he goes about things.

See, now I get the entire movie. This is why I love you!

I'm watching Clue right now. GOD I love this movie, one of my childhood favorites. Tim Curry is God in this flick. I loved how they had like 18 different endings, such a great slice of 80s movies. Plus, it has fucking Lee Ving in it! The lead singer of the 80s hardcore band Fear, for those who don't know, and a man I've actually had the pleasure of having a beer with! Plus, Debra Hill is a producer, which is simply great (she was John Carpenter's partner in crime on the Halloween films, The Fog, Escape From New York, etc).

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Certain people can carry a movie. Paul Rudd CANNOT carry a movie. He's a supporting guy with Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler. He's not a guy who can be a leading guy. I Love You, Man proved that. His jokes were awful, the majority of his moments were awkward, and his fiance really didn't have much in the way of a character. She seemed indifferent throughout most of the movie. Cute though. I'm going to watch Funny People, and hopefully, it's not as bad as people have said. Can't be any worse than that shitfest Miss March. GOD what a stupid movie.

I Love You, Man was fucking hilarious, it requires you to have a sense of humor though, prolly why you didn't like it

 

[X]

Yeah I don't understand why you wouldn't like I Love You, Man. Segel and Rudd are both comedic gold. Rudd especially, he's supposed to be awkward Lariat! That's the point!

Rudd is the man though, guy is hilarious in every thing he does. Anyone ever seen Wet Hot American Summer?

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw his post

Of all the actors that have come up through the Apatow Film Family or what ever you want to call their little click of actors, I think Paul Rudd is probably the most talented of the bunch, he's really the only one that I've seen play a different character in most of the movies he's been in, the rest of them are pretty much the same person every movie, also I can honestly say every movie that I've seen Rudd in I've enjoyed, IMO the guy is hugely underrated

There's not one person I dislike from the Apatow crew, but Rogen and Rudd are definitely my favorites. Love those guys in everything they've done thus far. Well, I wasn't a fan of of Wet American Summer, X. It tried too hard to be a campy 80's movie and it just didn't work with me. But other than that, can't think of anything I've seen Rogen and Rudd in that I didn't absolutely love. I haven't seen Funny People yet, but I'm sure it's great.

Jesus JMT a 6 out of 10 for Miracle a St. Anna?, I actually thought that movie was much better than that

 

[X]

I wasn't into Miracle at St. Anna at all. I'd give it a 2.5/5. So many glaring problems with that movie.

 

[Milkyway!]

9/10 for Friday Night Lights? I love that movie to death, but dang I thought I was the only one on the face of the plannet that liked that movie. Everyone I've ever talked to thinks its boring as crap.

 

[Spunky]

I'm going to be watching Paul Blart mall cop tonight, I'll let you know how it is.

If I didn't love the relationship between Train and the little kid so much, the rating would've been much lower. While the war scenes were fantastic as well, too many things bothered the living hell out of me while watching this. For example, having the Italian woman sleep with Bishop instead of building up a relationship with Stamps was so ******ed and typical Spike Lee. I love the guy, but he needs to grow out of that phase where he thinks every white woman on the planet wants to fuck a black man who carries himself like a thug/pimp/whatever. And then the ending was just completely illogical.

Like the Funny Games remake... could've have been a classic, but turned into shit because of a couple of stupid ass decisions made by the director.

Funny, I don't know anyone who doesn't love this movie. It's a classic.

The TV show is better though, man. That would get a 10/10 in my book. Check it out, if you haven't yet.

Yeah you've summed up some of the problems I had with Miracle At St. Anna. Spike Lee just tries to do too much in that film, he juggles too many stories without ever really making us care about any of them. I thought the film would've been so much better without the little kid or his "ghost" brother, or the awful beginning and end. Seriously, what was the point of Levitt's character in that film? SO many problems with that movie. It just felt like Lee rushed the whole project so he could try to spite Clint Eastwood by making a war movie with black people in it.

I love Spike, but sometimes he's a fucking idiot.

Currently watching Major League. What a fun and hilarious movie to watch. A young Charlie Sheen as Wild Thing Ricky Vaughn and Wesley Snipes, who is hilarious as Willy Mays Hayes. I hope there are other fans of Major League 1 and 2 out there.

I like 1 infinitely more than 2, but 2 isn't too bad itself. A good night of comedy is Major League and Slap Shot.

Major League 1 & 2 are both great fun, and Slap Shot is a classic NSL.

"We're putting on the foil" is one of the greatest lines ever in a sports movie. Has anyone seen the clip of the guy that broke up a hockey fight by stripping down to his jock a few years back? There's probably a clip on YouTube somewhere.

 

[The Dewbliners]

Love the Slap Shots!!!! Probably the greatest sports movie EVER!!!!!

Currently watching a lil' film by the name of Run Lola, Run. Anyone ever see it? Fan-fuckin'-tastic!!

 

[simpsons_fanatic742]

I agree Major League 1 is much better than 2, but 2 was also good. Ironically, I'm a huge hockey fan, but haven't seen Slap Shot. I do plan on watching it sometime soon.

I was supposed to watch Lola Rennt in German class, but I was having a pretty bad day that day, and ended up at the nurse. Still haven't gotten around to it. I was there the next day, where we watched Life Is Beautiful...

That's the first place I saw Lola, but I tend use the English name, just so my friends understand. Life is Beautiflul, huh? Never seen it. I missed school that day. I did however catch Shriek, which is the German re-dub of Scream. Hilarious.

Haven't seen Shriek. Sounds interesting though. Life Is Beautiful is a really good movie about the Holocaust, and the people in the camps. It's in Italian, and subtitled, but it's well worth the viewing.

Life is Beautiful is heartbreaking.

 

[NSL]

Life is Beautiful is heartbreaking.

Yes...But, still fucking great. While they're at the camp, and he's playing "the game" with his son, you can almost feel hopeful, thinking they'll be OK. You feel exactly what they feel, all the way until the last few minutes.
