I could create a worse thread but it would involve dion's participation and I don't think that even to prove a point,anybody wants that.:no:
Hmmmm.... we both keep harkening back to a time gone by, when actors had to you know, act in a movie. I have always enjoyed the suspense 'horror' movies far more than the toby gruntsplatter slashfests which seem to infest the screen these days. The original Wicker Man, Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist still reign as some of the greatest of all times along with Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs. The slow building of a feeling that all is not right, and the dawning of dread in the actors, building to a crescendo is what made a great suspense film. These days unfortunately the plot is too often telegraphed early on in the script, leaving little surprise or suspense to be had. To compensate for hiring monkeys as writers, the studios seem to counterbalance these inane scripts with ever more gory deaths and higher body counts, transposing true horror for splatter, and cinema is the poorer for it.Quote:

Unlike the promiscuous couple basically sealing their own fate, back when horror movies could still surprise you,no amount of careful planning nor good intent prevented someone from becoming a victim.
Btw The Wicker Man remake is truly godawful,not that the person who spam posted it cares.
Honest point here, but I strongly suspect movies are being made for those with short attention spans/ADHD. I seem to suffer from this more than you and Idol. There are only so many pre-80's movies I can sit through. Those tend to be the well-known greats, usually with more flow to them.
Most of the older shows require a bit of a connoisseur's taste. An educated palate regarding scene, lighting, mood, etc. Not a criticism, but an observation. If one does not know of the detailed work that went into a movie, they are not likely to recognize the finer details as they roll past. We are suffering from a lot of mega-budget fast food, being served up to an audience of ugly Americans.
That said, we do still get some amazing films, but they require effort on both the consuming and production ends of things.
No,you are just a mouth-breathing spastic,spastic.Quote:

Also name three "amazing" wide release movies made in the last 2 years and win a cigar or something.
Geez even the ones nominated for Oscars only achieve that status because they're serious "message" or foreign movies and the Hollywood types who need to think of themselves as being liberal( and not the coke snorting heathens they actually are ) feel they have to vote for them. :mellow:
I personally enjoyed Her and American Hustle. I thought they were very well done. I personally don't watch too many movies but I'm sure if I tried hard enough I could find another one, you jaded fuck.Quote:

The Conjuring
Walter Mitty
Prisoners
All is Lost
The Way, Way Back
Moonrise Kingdom (points subtracted for the unnecessary arrow through the puppy :ermm: )
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Looper
Cabin in the Woods
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
Came close to putting Her on the list as well. :)Quote:

The Hunt
Okay,discounting the fact that good isn't even what we're arguing aboot,amazing seems to have as much value nowadays as "awesome" or "superstar " or in the case of those televised singing competitions,"You have one of the best voices that I've ever heard".:mellow:Quote:
