Wow you are blowing this way out of proportion. Dick-measuring contest? Telling me I need a Midol? Who's the one taking this more seriously? I just thought your bullshit was hilarious how you can comment on what somebody else thinks on a movie but when I do it, you freak out. You call me an elitist and tell me I need to relax. You keep sounding more and more like a douche. Your responses sound like cries for help. I agree this is definitely a waste of our time.
You don't know me, thus you wouldn't know how often I watch films. I'm a movie buff too, so you don't need to get all presumptuous that all us mere mortals don't know films and should take your opinion in higher regard. Thats honestly like saying if one were to beat the meat much more than anyone else, he's the best at sex. For real though, I respect your opinion, and it's fine that you don't like some of the same films others do. Do I like films like R&J? Sure, why not. Do I think it's a great movie? Not by any means. And I think you took it out of context when i had said it, I actually meant Leo was good in that film (not that the movie was really good, when Run said Leo wasn't that good in any earlier films [i think?]). On that note, I'm off to the Queen's Head Pub.
Yes, I don't know you and I didn't want to make an enemy. I'm still not trying to do that, so you can just disregard my last post. I was being presumptuous and I took you for a casual movie goer. I take movies pretty seriously so if I offend you, I wasn't intending to. It's not that I take everyone's opinion with a grain of salt either. Raging Bull is one of my favorite films and definitely in my top 5. I was just trying to get across why I don't think Casino is a better film.
I was probably molested as a child, I guess? P.S. I didn't freak out. I just didn't like how you went all post-WWII Stalin on my ass about how I don't know shit and you do when it comes to movies. Thats all it really was. Feel free to challenge my opinions on movies, sports, game show trivia (? ), thats what S2 is for.
LOL, okay really I wasn't trying to take it this far. P.S. I didn't freak out either, and I'm actually very relaxed. [EDIT: I also seen you had Chinatown in your favorite movies of all time in the top 3 movies thread. Which is my favorite movie of all time. Seriously how are we not best friends?]
Big Fan- 8 out of 10. Ending was crazy. If Ndamukong Suh kicked my ass so bad I woke up in the hospital, id take his ass to the cleaners.
Legion -- 5/10 -- so ludicrous and sloppy it makes you wonder how some screenplays get approved and others don't. The redband trailer was all that was worth seeing.
Fantastic Mr. Fox -- 10/10 -- holds a special nostalgic factor for me since Dahl was the author of choice during my childhood and Fox was my favourite by a country mile. Anderson's film of it is briskly paced, has snappy dialogue, and looks wonderful. Completely enjoyable film.
Kick-Ass - 8/10 I thought the movie was hilarious, but I can see where some people might not. The movie is incredibly over-the-top and is quite a bit different than the previews make it out to be.
It looks like complete garbage from the previews but people with knowledge of the comic tell me that its a lot more vulgar/violent/crazy than the previews make it out to be. Its as if the trailers make it seem like a tween movie.
How to Tame Dragons 5/10 Maybe it would have been better if my kids were like 9 and 10 instead of 3 and 4. At 3 and 4, they were generally frightened when they weren't busy stuffing their faces with popcorn. But we'd been wanting to try a movie with them. 4 year old ended up liking it. His review: The three year old attempted to run off, the curled up and fell asleep on my lap.
Yup, the movie surprised me. It was incredibly violent and vulgar. The best comparison I can really think of is like, Kill Bill meets a funnier version of Superbad.
The Lovely Bones- 10/10 One of the best movies I've seen in a while. I can't believe Stanley Tucci didn't win any awards for this. All around great story.
Finally saw Avatar.. 7/10 Amazing picture and sound quality on blu ray. However, the story was so damn predictable. It was like watching Pocahontas again. Decent movie, though.
city of god 10/10 - can't believe i didn't see it sooner and watched remember the titans on tv a few days ago...one of those movies you have to watch if on..10/10
Sherlock Holmes 8/10. I've read every story, and it was a tad predictable, but I like the "steampunk" action (I learned that word from Wookee, btw ) and the dropped references from the stories. I was watching the DVD with someone who had already seen it, and a certain points (when they showed Rachel McAdams and I said "The One who Got Away" under my breath, they're like "how'd you know that?!?"). Another example was knowing from the jump that it was Moriarity in the carriage. Then again, I try to figure things out and talk a lot. I generally watch my movies at home, where my wife is both unimpressed with my guessing and patient. Am I the only one who thought that someone like Paul Giamatti would've been a much better Watson than Jude Law?
