Anyway what I really want to know is doesn't it bother you that 99 verging on 100% of new members can't even be bothered to read what has been written beyond the title of a thread?
OK if Lake Placid was the worst movie ever then explain Lake Placid 2 and 3.:blink:Quote:

It would be interesting to see how a competent director would have handled the story of Unbreakable. It did seem to have potential, just came across as f-ed up, IMO.Quote:

I'm sure that it would have won an Academy Award if they based greatness on stuff like that.Quote:

You can say you don't like it but not that it's bad.
Because that would be stupid and you're not stupid,I hope.
Btw this thread defines off topic if you look at the original post.
....................................................................................................................
This is what I like best about this forum.You can speak directly to a person and they don't answer you.
Anyway in my opinion what separates truly great movies from merely entertaining ones is that the truly great movies both entertain you but also challenge you and make you think.
That's why even though I consider Aliens to be top two or three best action films ever,in the greater scheme of things it can't hold a candle to those other films.
And so I once again cast my words into the black pit that is this place.
Ok i highly dislike it as i dont find any part of it interesting or immersive but that's my opinion and i'm sorry if it upsets you.
The film plays with a time and setting where artificial life is not only inexpensive, but is valued as less than "real" life. When a small number of androids escape from a work facility, it is the job of Detective Drekker to track them down and destroy them. It turns out that all these beings want is to be allowed to continue living- that is why they were acting violently in the first place. Once the escapees have been destroyed, what remains is to determine if all of the androids had been caught, and how much life they would have left...
Yeah, hack writing from the start...
And then there is also the always hanging and unanswered question of whether Dekker himself is a replicant? There are subtle clues to his being one throughout the movie....Quote:

The Wicker Man (2006)
Where as the original http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070917/ from 1973 is considered one of the classic horrors of British cinema (and I heartily agree).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.

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:

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:

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:
