Didn't like Fanboys that much either. I wanted to like it so bad, but thought it was just flat. Didn't laugh once.

Now the guards in George Lucas' house, were they s'posed to be T1000s?

Watched this crazy ass French horror film called Martyrs. It's about this girl held captive her whole life. A few years after escaping (I assume), she tracks her captors down and goes to town on their asses with a shotgun! Within the first 20 minutes, she's murdered their whole family. The first half of the movie is your generic KILL PEOPLE horror movie, which isn't a bad thing. It's well directed and raw as fuck! When we reach the midway point, the film flips itself on its head and goes down a completely different road. A fucking mental PSYCHO road! I won't ruin it by hinting at anything, but I highly recommend you check it out if you like your horror movies.


recommendation btw for everyone but grindie who gets confused by the difference between push and pull signs on doors
Hah! You're still sore about that whole "I don't like your stupid film" thing, eh? Jesus! Get over it already! Or just get better taste in films.

I'm sure someone's already suggested Troll 2, so I won't bother.

Instead, let me bring your attention to SURVIVING THE GAME! Saw the trailer for this and thought "Rutger Hauer vs Ice T! This will be excellent!". It was not excellent. It was very far from excellent. Very boring and stupid actually. But about halfway through the film, it felt as if the director and actors thought "Fuck it, this is shit! Let's go nuts" and it turns into the BEST unintentional comedy EVER! Here's one of the best scenes (this guy's an Oscar winner).


I am in love with The Core.  It's one of my favorite movies ever.  But I didn't think it was terrible, yet everyone else did.  It was just that it kept trying so hard to be a good movie, yet kept screwing up... like an adorable kid or something.

I thought The Core was class too. Just the first half of it though. After that, it goes into Summer Blockbuster mode and gets boring.

In other words it would've been better if it was just a cut scene with that boat chatting away once for every new location. Well, maybe.

Aslong as the story is entertaining I can handle a same-y game. And I can run over the enemies with the train i'm okay with it.

No, in other words it'd be better if there no boat and no sea.

The roundabout point being my mom figured out in one sentence and a few seconds what Grindie is still trying to snidely imply with a bunch of HEH I WATCHED A MOVIE SO FUCKING STUPID I DIDN'T NEED TO THINK ARE YOU JEALOUS posts so man you're a stupid piece of shit Grindie no one cares that you watched Commando 2 and have a false sense of pride about it because you literally can't figure out movies don't have to conform to a standard of bullshit and I really hope you realize that you can constantly drop "ya don't need ot think to figure it out" and this will hopefully be the last time anyone takes the bait because I really just wanted to talk more about how bleak Chinatown was but then remembered how dumb you are.
Haha! You're class. You can take anything a normal person would say in 2 lines and spread it into a fucking novel! I like your style.

But if you want my opinion (which you obviously do), Commando is a way better film than 2001. 1. Because it's actually a film and 2. Well, point 1. pretty much covered it.

Just saw Commando. One of the best movies of all time! And best of all, you don't need a fucking instruction book to understand it.

Hellraiser 2: Hellbound

7/10

Great sequel. Julia was awesome. Hasn't aged that terribly, CGI attempts aside.

Whatever you do, DON'T watch Hellraiser 3! It's so fucking stupid and has nothing to do with the first 2.

I quite liked Hellraiser 2, but I think the budget let it down. Hell could have looked way better and those endless corridors were so obviously painted onto the walls.

Man, a copy of Link to the Past but with different graphics/levels/whatever would be so bad-ass. It wouldn't matter what people said about it, it would rock and everyone would love it.

If you are hearing this Nintendo, just make it. Think about it: People will buy it, and you will make money. What more do you need?

LttP with Phantom Hour Glass's graphics! Oh and Link's Awakening! Fucking loved Link's Awakening. I cried at the ending. Well I didn't really, but if I was a girl I probably would have.

it does what it aims to really well and instead of saying it's a garbage movie you should say you don't like that type of movie. "2001, certainly no meet the spartans"
People who9 don't like 2001 like Meet the Spartans. Hah! That's good. I look forward to more of your witticisms.

So making the viewer feel bored was intentional? AH HA! KUBRICK REALLY IS GREAT!

Know what's really funny though? All the wee personal digs. Hah! You guys are really... passionate.

I'm not really interested in a examination of the film. What I was getting at was how it was filmed. How scenes went on for way too long. That sorta shit annoys me, so that's all I can focus on. I focus on it and try to figure out WHY they're going on for too long. And with 2001, the answer was obvious: There was nothing else there. Maybe the slow scenes are s'posed to evoke a specific feeling or emotion in those pretentious enough to read up on what they should feel or think during this masterpiece. But I'm sure Kubrick could has condensed his great fucking message into 40 minutes.

Fortunately for you, there are whole host of blockbusters out there for you to enjoy that do just this
Yawn! If only I felt the need to justify myself to nazis like you. But I don't, so I won't.

So no one's gonna actually tell me what's so great about the film then? Or are you all still going through your giant text books of the great analysis of 2001 to remember your own opinions.

Paintings don't force you to sit for hours to see the ending. But then what would I know, I haven't sat n' slurped up all the opinion propaganda on this film before watching it. I watched it as a film and judged it as a film. As a film, it fails.

I know, I know. I'm just a troll so my opinion doesn't count, but let's just pretend it did for a second. Just a second! And can someone tell me WHY this is considered a good film. Instead of the usual "This is art. You are dumb" shit. No, I don't care about its artistic merits. I don't care if it was the pioneer of scenes that go on for too fucking long. I want to know why is is a good film? Why would someone sit and watch this for entertainment? Or it not MEANT to be entertaining? Is it designed to be watched at pretentious gettogethers where everyone sips the finest tea and analyzes the characters' hairstyles for messages on society?

If I wanna look at art, I'll look at a fucking painting. When I watch a film, I want to be enter-fucking-tained!

all right guys, I cannot disagree with this post enough, I find it overly simplistic, stupid, overarching, etc, but for fuck's sake:

There's nothing else I could possibly say about Space Odyssey. I think "Slow spaceships floating through space slowly" pretty much sums it up. Well okay, I could have mentioned the people walking slowly around in sticky shoes to drive the point home that there's no gravity in space. Aye, I get the point, Kubrick! You don't need to drag the scene on for another 40 minutes! That's the main problem with 2001, everything just goes on for too fucking long! Like that bit where the guy's working out, running around his low gravity ring-room. Aye, okay, Kubrick! He's in space! I FUCKING GET IT! Why is this scene still going!? He's already done about 26 laps. I FUCKING GET IT!

Yes, I know there's some big whoop dee doo plot here, but there's only enough for a 40 minute short movie, not this 4 week long slog festival!

As a film, 2001 is shit. The end.

I'd rather watch Commando 'cause it has guns and explosions!

You have to admit though, it's funny seeing people take everything I say personally and have to fall back on personal insults.

But whatever. I'm not gonna start some spam fest. I'll shut up now.

Never seen 2001 A Space Odyssey until last week. Worst. Fucking. Film. Ever! So slow and fucking boring. Most of the film was just shots of spaceships slowly floating through space and people eating space dinners. Kubrick is a fucking joke.

Naw. What I'm saying is that you don't have to be American to like monster trucks, loud music, motorcycles, bands and be a complete asshole who knows everything. What I'm saying is that a British guy could act the same way as House does and like the things House likes. I'm not saying House has to be British, I'm saying they wouldn't have to alter the show in any way if he was.

But you started this discussion before ANYONE replied, so how can you go back and say you think it should have been that way because of what climbtree said?
Because I'm a filthy liar.

And because I've had this discussion before and it always pans out the same way.

I know that Hugh Laurie is playing an American. I'm fine with that. His accent is perfect. I'm not talking about that. It's the reasoning I'm getting from some people in here that makes no sense. Like every single word of Climbtree's last reply. What a load of bullshit.

But aye, whatever.

Saw the first episode of Lie to Me. Rather enjoyed it. Kicked the shit outta The Mentalist (I just hate that bitch from Prison Break!).
