I'm sorry, but you're asking for it when you call out KUBRICK as being a 1-trick pony.

No, I dont watch much TV.And so your stupidity goes unsolved.

I saw the Black Keys live, Triumph. FYI.
I saw around 15min of 2001, and it was stupid and boring and bombastic and colorful and wordless. UghDo it. It is a very slow slow slow movie. Give it time. It's great. At least try to watch it till HAL comes in.
I'll rent it and give it an actual viewing though

Oh man, I like Jurrasic Park. ::) That's such an insult.tell that to one of your film teachers
At least Jurrasic Park has a story (A great one at that), and JP doesnt have a 10 minute sequence of nothing but a dudes eye as different color lights shine on it. Talk about boring trash.

As a movie, based on pure production values (i.e. cinematography, lighting, directing, music, etc), 2001 is astounding. But based on plot, storytelling and shit like that (even with the symbolism and what not) it's a pretty awful movie. I own the damned thing, and while i watch it for it's visual and artistic value, it's a movie i rarely put in just to enjoy.
You hate on things that are universally well-liked, and herald by-the-numbers films as your favorites. Star
Wars better than 2001, Citizen Kane, Brazil, etc, etc, etc??? No. Just... no.
A film student cant have the tastes of a 12 year old.
Exactly. Why is that your favorite when there are literally hundreds of better films to appreciate?

No. But what you are doing is like a author to be crediting clifford the big red dog as the greatest novel he has read.

Except Star Wars is not the equivalent of Clifford the Big Red Dog. Try again.
Star Wars may not be Clifford... how about Everybody Poops?:lol
Star Wars has no substance? Are you fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. The guy created a rich universe that parrelels all of Cambells theories on mythology. If anything he did something virtually impossible, he created a modern myth and made it accessible to everyone. How many people don't know what "may the force be with you" comes from. Not to mention he succesfully combined 10 different genres into one movie.Star Wars A New Hope is my favorite film of all time kiddo.
Yall are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. Just because Star Wars is popular doesn't make it shit. But I guess this is the internet, and unless you pick obscure shit, you're taste is going to be criticzed.

What's wrong with Donnie Darko?It's just not as great as most people seem to think. So much fapping done to that movie when it's not deserved. I think every emo kid in High School says it's their favorite movie at one point in time.
Exactly. Why is that your favorite when there are literally hundreds of better films to appreciate?
I just don't like Star Wars. However, as most people have seen, I love tons of "mediocre" movies.but you aren't trying to break into the film industry and getting a major in film..AAND you can admit they are mediocre movies.

I get what he's saying though. For example, I can have a favorite game, but I can acknowledge that there are better games out there. It's just that this game, flaws and all, clicked with me more than others.
That still doesn't let him get away for saying FMJ is boring though.
His favorite film is Return of the Jedi.Exactly. Why is that your favorite when there are literally hundreds of better films to appreciate?

How can anyone not love Full Metal Jacket? R. Lee Ermey will kick yo ass sucka fool! He's got a big dick!
Or maybe read somewhere you douchbag TVC.
Yall are such Tools. :lol

RETURN OF THE JEDI
Star Wars? For me, yes. I don't find the universe enjoyable really. Meh. But I'm not judging anyone who likes it. I just don't like the films. I mean come on, I'm into sappy love stories. I LOVE SMALLVILLE! I'm not in a position to judge anyone. But I will continue to talk shit about the movies themselves.I just don't like Star Wars. However, as most people have seen, I love tons of "mediocre" movies.
And these are?

Yes, you probably heard Lucas say it. Oh wait, is that link you posted actually on a Star Wars fan site? This is worse than linking Wikipedia.
ROTJ is my favorite outta the original series, but not my favorite movie ever.Well FoC calls himself a film maker so...
I dunno. I don't think Star Wars is particularly bad or unwatchable, but I've seen them so many times that the prospect of viewing them again is plain ol' boring.The problem isn't star wars, but the fact he is trying to get in the film industy but calls popcorn flicks greater than the well "REAL" movies. He isn't just a film goer with simple tastes. He is someone who is going to college to learn about this industry and get involved.
It's like someone trying to make games and their favorite game is Halo 2.No, it would be like their favorite game is Barbie Adventures.
Right?

Speaking of which, FoC, if these are your favorites, what do you think the best movies of all time are?
Sim City is the shit.
But Sim City was groundbreaking!Sim City is the shit.

This is true, but Sim City didnt have any Jedi
Star Wars was embarrassingly awful. Just cuz the theme tweaked your nerd glands does not make it a good movie -- the writing andf acting were horrid, the cinematography pedestrian, and the direction dubious. Good music, costuming (for the time), and set design, though!Is it apparent Lucas directed it then? :lol
I will enjoy never seeing FoC's name on imdb.
I saw around 15min of 2001, and it was stupid and boring and bombastic and colorful and wordless. Ugh
I'll rent it and give it an actual viewing though
Fuck off and die, PD. Or go watch Forrest Gump. It's the same thing.
What I saw of 2001 suggested that the movie is actually praised for its technical brilliance and innovation, not the quality of the film itself. Like King Kong, or The Birth of a Nation, or even Star Wars (at least to the more asinine movie snobs out there).Most film snobs consider 2001 one of the greatest films of all time. Not just in a technical sense. Its rare to see some film critic do a top 10 and not include 2001.

Dude I only saw 15min. There was no dialogue in that entire 15 minutes. Instead there was a lot of repetitive shots of bombastic proportions. Hm hey look the colors are making his face look green. Hey look, 5 minutes later the colors are making his face look blue! And now 5 more minutes later omg, everything is green and blue! OMG AMAZING :lol
I'll give it a true viewing as soon as I can

Never heard of Birth of a Nation, or why it's considered to be one of the greatest films of all time?
Have you ever seen the entire movie?
Did you one day say "Oh, I'm so black I'm going to watch all of The Birth of a Nation"?
Don't bother trying to communicate with am nintenho. It is maddening.It's not like comparing 2001 to a white supremacist movie is dumb or anything...

You don't get the point. At all :lolComparing 2001 to a now obscure movie is not having a point at all.

He didn't compare the two quality wise, he compared them as technical masterpieces which changed the face of cinema you distinguished mentally-challenged piece of shit.
WHY is it a technical masterpiece? Cause it wasn't meant to be entertaining. That's a fucking difference. How you put that with King Kong or Star Wars I don't know.
The film was released in 1915 and has been credited with securing the future of feature length films (any film over 60 minutes in length) as well as solidifying the language of cinema.
It was the first American film to be longer than an hour in length, and proved that audiences would accept such a length. It also pioneered such techniques as deep focus, jump-cut, and facial close-ups, which are now considered integral to conventional cinematic style. It introduced new cinematic innovations, special effects, and artistic techniques. For these reasons, it was voted one of the "Top 100 American Films" (# 44) by the American Film Institute in 1998.
In its day, it was the highest grossing film, taking in more than $10 million at the box office per the box cover of the Shepard version of the DVD currently available (equivalent to $300 million in 2006).
In 1992 the United States Library of Congress deemed it "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Despite its controversial story, the film continues to get high (if conflicted) praise from film critics such as Roger Ebert.
I don't have a problem with calling that movie impressive, saying it's impressive in a similar way to King Kong or Star Wars is stupid.
You STILL fail to see the pointYou didn't have one.
TVC, I should have listened. Cause now I'm actually annoyed over internet shenanigans :lolMaybe if you didn't say some of the most baseless examples of why 20 minutes in the middle of a movie didn't make you like the movie, I wouldn't get so mad?

I didn't argue at first, I laughed. The fact that you think it's just a technical masterpiece even though nobody ever said that is idiotic.

I never even said that. I said what I saw of the movie gave me that impression; I only saw 15 minutes anyway. And there is a "2001 is overrated" movement out there that has similar beliefs....the part that I said was stupid was where you said Birt of a Nation as an example. Even though that has no where near the same direct influence on modern culture as King Kong or Star Wars.
But alas it seems like the issue has moved beyond my comment on 2001 to your stupidity on everything else

How this thread got progressively stupider from its already totally-fucking-distinguished mentally-challenged beginnings will be studied by scientists for generations.
Did you even read TVC's last post, at all?DIRECT INFLUENCE.
The movie shouldn't be compared because we're on a fucking message board talking abot sci-fi, not film revolutions in the 20's.
oh, you can't wiggle out of this one, little mushroom dudeMy dick somehow wiggled it's way out of your butt :heartbeat
