why would you bother giving a rating out of 100 if you're rounding it to 60 anyway?  6/10 is just fine

consistency in rating system? and because it implies a greater degree of accuracy where 6/10 could really be anywhere from 5.5 to 6.499 recurring

ahahaha no country for old men had a much quicker pace than there will be blood but it had much less music. maybe next time you watch a movie prepare an ipod? or ritalin?

there will be blood was slow but still managed to keep me actively interested in the characters, which no country didn't

found a funny jim carrey thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icb_tRTnA4g

thats from in living color right? Some dudes told me he was pretty good in it and I should check it out sometime.

So is Kill Bill, but Kill Bill seems quite far from Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs to me.
Pulp Fiction almost seems like a sequel in a few ways.

Killbill seems pretty much tarantino film for me

i'm watching dark knight for the first time.


i'm a late bloomer.

I just saw The Last Emperor. Jesus Christ, this is one of the best films I've ever seen, ever. I don't know if it's a cultural thing or whatever, but it completely engrossed me. Childhood innocence, living through two completely different ages of time, seclusion, etc. There wasn't anything I didn't like. A true masterpiece............

I watched two westerns yesterday.

Apaloosa was good but it's pretty much Mortensen being cool and Harris being old for two hours. You have every good elements of a classic western; a woman that gets between the two hero, gun fights, great open spaces, indians whose only goal is to be a menace and the bad guy. Sadly I felt that they tried to throw in a little bit too much talk between the two hero as they, quite awkwardly, try to talk about their feelings and the love story was kinda hard to believe. It slows down the movie and makes it a bit too "light" for the genre. But hey, if you want to see two cowboys talk about their feelings, be my guess.

I also watched The good, the bad, and the ugly. And man, old classics never die.

OOOOOH, SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE TARANTINO. Which is fair enough, as I know his movies really aren't for everyone. They just click with some people; others, they don't.

p.s. plz plz plz dom, tell me a movie u liek plz.

hmm I don't know about that.  you could arguably cut out woody harrelson's character (I can't remember if he actually had any affect on the story to be honest) but the rest of the movie is either action/tense atmosphere scene or character development scene.  if we were talking about the curious case of benjamin button I would agree because there was a lot of shit in that movie that was entirely unnecessary but I don't know I think most of what was in no country was necessary in one way or another

Was Woody Harrelson the assassin?  If so then his character needed to be in there as it led up to several important scenes for Chigurh and Moss as characters that wouldn't have otherwise happened if he wasn't there.

And yeah I just think dom didn't understand the film!

I saw gran torino today.  Not directly, i was watching over my roommate's shoulder while playing vidya games but it seemed like a good movie.

then i checked imdb and jesus christ is there a BAD clint eastwood film?

I saw this movie on netflix called Outsourced or something and it was probably one of the most terrible fucking things I've ever seen.

finally got around to watching eternal sunshine for the spotless mind again. i can't decide if its a happy movie or a sad one... good either way.

just saw reservoir dogs and can confirm this. man.

ahh. i've been watching too many movies lately!! tonight i watched forgetting sarah marshall. i liked it. even if the dude is basically the same character he was in how i met your mother.

i haven't seen undeclared, but the "put that thing away" reminds me of the part when he's.. umm... slapping parts.. ahahha too funny@!!

Just watched City of Embers. It was... well, it was the opening ten minutes of Oblivion for two hours. Plus a happy ending. Still, the costumes and setting was neat and well done. Only problem was the plot centred around a boy who inexplicably wants to fix the generator, and a girl who delivers messages. The ending had potential, but it was so rushed and everyone was bustling about like it was do-or-die, and it totally wasn't. They could have just took their time, but nope. High emotion and action with CG-weeeeee
Also, Bill Murray kind of ruined the mood for me. While he was well cast as the Mayor, it's Bill Murray. He can't act, and just stays as the same ol' guy. Therefore, it's hard to understand how Bill Murray survived for 200 years. Uh, another also, no one had pigment deficiencies or squinted at the sunrise.
It's a kid movie though, so I suppose there's no point griping about details.

Man that movie is hilarious, Yeaster.

Forgot to mention: I watched the Death Race remake. I can't believe / can believe / how far they went to dumb this down. Instead of having a message, it was just like a new take on Fast and the Furious. They added Sword and Shield nodes on the track, so the drivers can't fire guns or release defense mechanisms until they've collected said tokens.
It's a closed-circuit Nascar race, so there was no reason to have the Navagator (in the original it was a cross-country drive, so it made sense.) In this one, they served one purpose: Slow-mo camera, tossing hair and 'oooh I'm sexy' music.
In the original racers hit pedestrians for extra points. In this, it was closed circuit, so no beans. I really hate this remake. It has no heart whatsoever; they just gutted the concept and tossed some current culture in for flavour.

Gran Torino is pretty good but I dunno if it's good only because I went and saw it with a bunch of asian people while the main character kept saying slope, gook, nip, and zipperhead through the whole thing.
