My favorite movie is Titanic and The independence day.

That was a good one. I liked how Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum flew in with the space ship and rescued all of the passengers as the Titanic started sinking.. :blink:

That movie has to have one of the worst endings ever put on film.

It's more than lazy,it's an insult to the audience to suddenly tell them that they just wasted 90 minutes of their lives because none of what they just watched even happened.

Salient points overlooked:

I don't actually know anything about compewters
You said it was the "BEST FILM ROBIN WILLIAMS EVER MADE" and the type of quality that you are alluding to is not age dependent.
It was a joke

As for "growing up",if that means become so thin-skinned that a simple word,without the slightest clue as to the actual motivation behind it offends me ,then I certainly hope not.

I have been told they are similar to a Trekkie (which I am), though it would seem differences abound.

(Some say the they may have episode dysfunction disorder (EDD), but I also love a good long adventure story.) :alien:

(I once went out with a very sexy lady who had her ears docked like "elves" do, but she never mentioned the above term and she got a bit defensive if I stared at them too much... then again I had that happen a few times with large breasted women. The song remain the same I guess.) :alien:

My fav is really "Meet Joe Black"....not really for the video or plot....but for the music. I thought it was at times very poignant. But also because I like chick flicks I guess.

That's the exact reaction I had to it, oddly enough. It's far from my favorite movie, but at the time I was watching it, I had a lot of stuff on my mind, I was procrastinating and needed to get up, but I kept watching it and dozing off, waking up, rewinding it a little, watching again, dozing off again, repeat. So the major element that stuck in my subconscious was the score, and I always felt this pensive emotion each time I woke up. It needs editing badly, and a lot of the screenplay didn't make sense pertaining to Joe Black's view of the world and not understanding some things, while immediately and intrinsically understanding others. This, despite his character saying something to the effect of "I've observed humanity since it began" and yet didn't know how to eat? Was it just learning how to coordinate fine motor skills? Kind of lazy writing.

But yes, the score... I really need to grab it somewhere and give it a listen, see if it conjures up any emotions or memories from that morning I watched it.

Is it so bloody hard to understand that "movie" is singular which eliminates trilogies. Also all trilogies (except maybe Three Colours) contain in them films of widely varying quality so you can't group the movies together and have it mean anything.

feckin hate that word .......RETARD.... but then again i'm speaking as a parent of a child with special needs.....

To retard is to slow a process. Its use as a derogatory term can apply to constructs, willful idiots, and those with physiological developmental disorders. In essence, it always addresses a below average progression.

I believe most intelligent people are capable of using it in a non offensive manner. To devote a personal passion toward an item of the lexicon is a bit silly. Are you retarded or something?

+-wow its obvious you are'nt with an answer like that ....that was straight out of the oxford english dictionary that one ..... it always amazes me how a simple remark to something that WAS meant as something offensive can be answered by a member of the cast of the BIG BANG THEORY and made to sound as if it is the right thing to say you must have a team of researchers to write your daily scripts for you so that you can give politically correct answer's to any given subject. WELL DONE SHELDON ..

would it be fair to say then that there is a just a chosen few that are allowed to attempt to entertain us with comments that have become acceptable in certain circles of society,,,, the difference here is that i tend to say what i think is right ???? not what i think others want to hear ???? because either they have been a member longer than others or they are just the class clown that is expected to come up with what they think are entertaining phrases that only appeal to people with the same level of reasoning?????????? this has developed from an earlier comment that was made by myself regarding the use of the word RETARD which lets face it was not used in the latter context (But an attempt to make it seem innocent was put forward by way of a third party) I will not go against what i believe in just to make people look more interesting than they really are ....statistics dictate that there will be a large portion of members and guests that WILL have someone in their family that has some form of a disability ???? with me it is my daughter who was born with DOWNS SYNDROME so yes certain terminologies do offend and that was one of them....no matter how you try to butter up the way it was said..........anyway sorry for speaking out of turn about something so dear to my heart....

To retard is to slow a process. Its use as a derogatory term can apply to constructs, willful idiots, and those with physiological developmental disorders. In essence, it always addresses a below average progression.

I believe most intelligent people are capable of using it in a non offensive manner. To devote a personal passion toward an item of the lexicon is a bit silly. Are you retarded or something?

would it be fair to say then that there is a just a chosen few that are allowed to attempt to entertain us with comments that have become acceptable in certain circles of society,,,, the difference here is that i tend to say what i think is right ???? not what i think others want to hear ???? because either they have been a member longer than others or they are just the class clown that is expected to come up with what they think are entertaining phrases that only appeal to people with the same level of reasoning?????????? this has developed from an earlier comment that was made by myself regarding the use of the word RETARD which lets face it was not used in the latter context (But an attempt to make it seem innocent was put forward by way of a third party) I will not go against what i believe in just to make people look more interesting than they really are ....statistics dictate that there will be a large portion of members and guests that WILL have someone in their family that has some form of a disability ???? with me it is my daughter who was born with DOWNS SYNDROME so yes certain terminologies do offend and that was one of them....no matter how you try to butter up the way it was said..........anyway sorry for speaking out of turn about something so dear to my heart...
You know that nearly brought a tear to my eye.....well it would if I was a teenage girl and loved melodrama, since I am not that rather prissy speech was fairly laughable. I am talking about YOU here and your belief that you should say 'that there is a just a chosen few that are allowed to attempt to entertain us with comments that have become acceptable in certain circles of society,,,, the difference here is that i tend to say what i think is right ???? not what i think others want to hear ????'.

If you are going to be so easily offended by comments on an internet forum then you may not want to be an active member of this one too much longer, we might make you cry and that would be sad.....

As for the second part of the speech and the daughter with DOWNS SYNDROME, another poster in this very thread has a child who is also afflicted with Trisomy 21, while we have others here with children with other needs including Autism. They all manage to carry on here without the need to become offended, and I myself have a condition which has caused me to be called a retard and treated differently my entire life. What offends me is how lazy and dull witted many people are becoming in their almost childlike posts, some of which you actually have to read several times before you can decipher the meaning, if there is actually a meaning at all.

*Sigh... O.K. I will try and use simple words and sentence structure so there will be no misunderstanding this time, please put up your hand if you do not understand something I am saying. The conversation devolved (spiralled down) after you took offense to Idol calling one of the posters here a retard (that was him being nice btw) so I inquired if you would prefer the term 'window licker' instead. Not content with this you decided to carry it on, and when I talked about childish posts you took it to mean you personally. In that you were mistaken, apart from the execrable use of punctuation you are in the top 10% of infrequent posters and although somewhat emotional, an easy read.

Interesting choice on the Bedford Incident although if I remember correctly you have previously displayed interest in The Cold War.

Personally I have a hard time enjoying anything non Western with Richard Widmark as he falls into Chuck Heston territory of no matter what the character he's playing somehow still making me wish I could punch him in the face.

Awwwww...... do you need a tissue?

Actually on the subject of your last poast in this thread, it is kind of funny that you can't get past Charlton Heston being a Western actor, being that his seminal works are The Planet of the Apes and Ben Hur. Richard Widmark in The Bedford Incident, was superb as the overzealous warship commander.

If you want an actor that it's hard to get past his Western acting origins, it's Lee Van Cleef, all the way through his scenes in Escape from New York I was looking for the shot glass of red eye whisky and the six shooter on his hip.

The main reason why I don't post in these sections very much is a general malaise from the overwhelming flood of spamtards defecating all over these forum sections, with single sentence (if you are lucky) posts that have little or no relevance to the title or general discussion.

IdolEyes787
06-21-2014, 12:33 PM
I never said that I couldn't get past Heston as a "Western" actor.I just, like Widmark or Adam Sandburg, tend to find him personally grating.Honestly off the top of my head I can't think of one Western Heston starred in.When I think Heston if I think of anything it's Biblical epics.

Sadly some people who just strike you and Hitler the wrong way and that's why we have violence to deal with such incongruities.
On the other hand,some people you can't help but like,I would say another "Bedford" actor,Sidney Poitier,to be among them.
Strangely this may have nothing to do with reality as for all I know Widmark was an angel among men and Poitier the opposite.

I'd also like to point out the obvious "problem" with this thread.No one,not even me,cares what is someone's favourite movie.The interesting part is not the "what" but the "why" and here I'm talking beyond technical aspects of and looking at personally motivating factors.
For example,Meg likes The Good,The Bad and The Ugly and Oldboy because he has a pretty big gun fetish and never tires of watching people die.

Artemis
06-21-2014, 01:44 PM
The difference between Widmark and Heston in your scenario is that Charlton Heston played the hero, in so many of Widmark's films he was the villain, and he cultivated an edgy angst ridden bad boy, which made him far more than a 2 dimensional baddy like so many others. In many ways The Bedford Incident was a perfect vehicle for his acting style, but as you mention the supporting cast was excellent as well. Sidney Poitier was out of his comfort zone, an arrogant hard hitting photo journalist, out for the next sensational story, but with great performances too by Eric Portman as the U-boat ace and Martin Balsam as the ship's Doctor on a ship that did not need one.

What makes The Bedford Incident a memorable movie for me is the development of the characters, and the complex building of tensions between them. These days movies are all about the next adrenalin rush, or fear response with little thought to the characters and how they interact, there is very little subtext to the story just a bucket load of explosions, thousands of rounds of ammo expended, and an unnecessarily long winded amount of CGI effects.

Nice film school answer,Leonard Maltin but I was rather hoping for a more human answer on why that particular movie and not some equally worthy one speaks to your soul.

Never did a film course in my life :snooty:

Believe it or not that is actually my human answer, I like a believable interplay between characters, and a plot driven story that builds on the interactions between the characters. Recent films that also fall into this category and are memorable films for me are Training Day, Michael Clayton and Gosford Park, but for me personally the tension created and the climactic scenes of The Bedford Incident are more memorable.



Anything else, Torquemada?


True story.I just happened to watch a bit of House Hunters International featuring Wellington and the thought struck me that when reading people's posts I always have a Canadian dialect artificially attached to everyone.:unsure:
I am attempting now to be more accurate in my imagining of everybody and I have to say that Art sure doesn't sound near as smart with that funny accent.




At least I don't go around saying 'eh' all the time..... :blink:

Groundhog day.

If you want to see a FAR less poignant, less interesting, but filled with CGI violence that the storyline makes you realize doesn't matter version, see Edge of Tomorrow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1631867/) with Tom Cruise playing action hero Bill Murray caught up in a Starship Troopers world. :yup:

It was when the Groundhog drove the car wasn't it?

Hey,Mug you should watch The Raid 2 because there's a scene where people are brutally killed with a two hammers so obviously that makes it twice as good as Oldboy.

Still a great movie but I lost some of the interest I had in that movie once i discovered that my opinion was shared by so many (IMDB number 1)

It's Hannibal,wank and forgive me for not enjoying staring into the Pit like you do.

As for Shawshank and it's initial popularity,when first released it was a bit of a bomb assumingly because it made the mistake of being marketed to adults who unlike children tend to not make relative garbage like Maleficent among the top grossing movies of all time.No I take that back, Shawshank isn't a bad film,it just irks me that it's so ridiculously overrated.

If a single solitary(prison humour) person can stand here and make a case why SR is considered better than either Papillon or Cool Hand Luke, both of which are about a gazillion times better as both prison dramas and showcases for indomitable spirit then I shall never again voice a word of protest toward you lemmings.
Also Dustin Hoffman/Steve McQueen ,Paul Newman/George Kennedy vs Tim Robbins/Morgan Freeman.:mellow:

I watched Edge of Tomorrow yesterday which probably makes sense temporally and while there is a scrap of a good story there it's largely defeated by truly horrible directing and what I term the "War is heck" effect.
In the War is heck effect,all the violence is so bloodless,both literally and figuratively that you never get the true sense that there are any real costs involved.Hence you never really care what happens to anyone.

I will also note that the armored suits made no sense as the strength of infantry is it's mobility.If you want indiscriminate blow stuff up superiority that's what you have missiles and bombs and planes and ships with big guns for.

I also had the thought that seriously what kind of human being like the ones who inhabit Hollywood now don't even try to make the best movie they can and throw away logic and plot and emotion just for the sake of appealing to a bunch of mouth breathing teens?
If I made movies and was ever happy to settle for that I'm fairly sure I'd do the right thing and off myself.

I even found that during the ending stretch I could not care as I'd already seen him wiped out ad nauseam. They kinda made their point that he'd been 'sploded A LOT, then they talked about ALL the times he'd been demised that we didn't see. Personally, I thought the Nicholas Cage movie Next (2007) handled the same material better.

The power suits would have been a bit more effective if they had worked as a shield as well as a sword. However, giving the lifeless, drab, background characters who are less worthy of our care as they have NO value to the general story protection against death would be self-defeating.

BTW, the Canadian Army told you your benefit was mobility because they didn't want to pay for cool weapons. Or protection.

If you could make cool weapons entirely from trees,we would rule the World I tell you,the World!!!!!

Anyway 100,000 highly armed mechs with guns facing an enemy who is destined to get within your lines is going to get you this.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01jUksh1EcY

Those high tech suits would only realistically work if the army lined up like they did in Wellington's day.
That and there was no realistic growth to Cruise's character unlike Murray's in Groundhog Day.One minute he's the biggest coward on 7 continents and the next he's a more caring version of Rambo with no reasoning for the transformation except,because.:mellow:

All in all I think it would have been better if the movie was actually more about him becoming a badass like the trailers mislead you to believe.Also the movie somehow managed to drag and yet still not have much going on.

IMDB ratings have veered into joke territory .It's so bad now that people are regularly commenting on it in the reviews.


User Reviews



Has IMDb been hacked?26 May 2014 | by fergus-17 (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews
I'm struggling to understand how this got such good reviews. I usually rate the IMDb score as the gold standard but something has gone seriously wrong here. I did see the trailer, it was good and contained the only laughs of the movie. The movie was truly the most tedious thing I have ever experienced. Why did it get such good reviews from critics and such a high score on IMDb? User reviews here are spot on. Not a single good review. The reviewer above who mentioned he had sat down to more entertaining bowel movements surpassed any joke in the film.

Something is very wrong here.




Contrary to appearances here I'm barely on the internet so I don't rightly know what meatacritic is except it sounds nerdish adn ghey but it seems to be the most accurate as it alone isn't (and I'm sorry or beating the dead equine) spoolging over Shawshank Redemption.

I've had doubts for a while, probably a year and a half. Certain "blockbusters" get 20k votes on opening day. Reminds me of services that will five you 50k "friends" (or however many you want) on Farcebook. Undoubtedly, there are fake upvoters for hire on IMDb now.

And remember, you and I have wrestled over unexceptional films that were entertaining enough for me to defend. This is not even up to that standard.
