WHAT? WHY?!?!?! :'(
::)
Do you actually think so or?
When was the last time the winner of Best Picture was actually, you know, the best picture?

True, Children of Men deserved it more than The Departed, but if you say CR should have gotten Best Picture you are truly a mouthbreathing fanboy.
Looks like you all took a page out of Willco's "How NOT to troll something" handbook.
Letter was fantastic. Maybe it should have won.The fact Eastwood has won 30 of the last 5 oscars makes me unable to give him it.

Eastwood only deserves another one if he does a fourth Dollars movie, this time with Blondie having a wise-cracking great grand son.
The Departed > UnforgivenSEE IT. BUY THE DVD. GO GO GO. Out of the best picture winners Eastwood has won, Unforgiven is the mos deserving.spoiler (click to show/hide)I haven't seen Unforgiven. :'([close]
Yeah, next time I'm in Target I'll most likely pick up Unforgiven and OUATITW to satisfy my current Eastwood western kick. :hyperOUATITW isn't eastwood lol
I LIKED TD MORE WHEN IT WAS CALLED IA
Solo was being sarcastic. He loved the departed.I LIKED TD MORE WHEN IT WAS CALLED IA
ding ding ding the only post in this thread that makes sense, I can't fucking believe the Departed won the "Best Motion Picture of the Year" Oscar for a virtually identical version of Infernal Affairs with shittier direction, acting and music.
The only reason the hacks version of Infernal Affairs won is because Martin Scorsese is for some odd reason idolized by the slow folk at the academy.
Way to be a generalizing, judgment fuck. ::)

It's another case of "IF IT IS ASIAN IT IS BETTER".

IT HAS A STORY AND DRAMA, WHAT DOES DEPARTED HAVE? LEO THE FAGGIT AND MARKY MARK? LAWLZ
How do they worship white people? If you're saying they're obsessed with American culture, I would assume that also means the hip-hop culture and so on.
I hope you aren't basing this on light-skinned anime characters.
I bet If I posted a topic saying I felt dropping the atomic bombs on japan was justified and the right thing to do at gaf I'd be plutoed or at the very least they'd lock the topic

True. Their complete refusal to admit to the huge amounts of racism in Japanese culture is laughable. It's ok to laugh at them dumb southerners but if anyone brings up the "Japanese only" signs and shit in that country you get lynched.
America has racisim of course but it by no means compares to Japan, at all.qft

Show me some "whites only" signs in America :lol
Better yet, just look at the social things such as interracial marriage
I wouldn't expect you to have any other opinion :lol
You might as well say that Americans have rhinoplasty in an attempt to have smaller noses to look more asian.

East Asians tend to have small but flat noses. That's certainly not the look anyone's going for.
Just saying.
The incidents of bias against foreigners in Japan are being protested against within the country by foreign residents or foreigners who have become Japanese citizens, like Arudou Debito who successfully sued one of the onsens in Hokkaido that put out a 'Japanese only' sign. As its more an issue of ignorance rather than any extreme hatred, the issue needs to be dealt with intelligently through discussion and education from both within the country and through foreign media. But what we don't need is idiots like you saying stuff like 'Japanese hates foreigners&$!'
HAHA no.When was the last time the winner of Best Picture was actually, you know, the best picture?Braveheart (arguably)?
Mute, I'm not sure your avatar is worksafe, dude.
I. NO PORNOGRAPHIC AND/OR OBSCENE IMAGESShould be okay. If a mod wants, I'll change it.
We will follow network television guidelines, meaning that images of a sexual nature must be appropiate for network television viewing (no Janet nip slips, you scoundrels!). Any pictures posted of men or women must have appropiately covered private parts. Any posters violating this code of conduct are subject to a pluto no longer than 160 days unless a consistent track record deems punishment of upwards to a pemanent pluto.

No, no, PD is arguing that Japan hates non-white foreigners. Whiteys are like GODS.

Where did I say hate? If you don't want to admit to the downright racist portrayals of say blacks in Japan, that's your business.
IMO this is a racial issue. I simply cannot understand why anyone would advocate censored porn featuring totally flat women who scream bloodly murder because an inch long object is in their pussy. But lo and behold there's a bunch of people who love that shit over real porn. :lollo and behold, pd competes with his own racism.

Ichirou, how many movies have you seen at the theatre in 2007 so far?
I don't get what all the fuss is about. There have only been 2 films worth mentioning released this year (neither of which are on Ichirou's list, lolz) -- Children of Men (wide release) and Zodiac.

You know, that's probably the most correct thing that's been stated in this entire thread :lol
How about Black Snake Moan? I've heard it's pretty good, plus it has titties. Might be good to see after 300 to wash off all that homosex.
ZOMG ICHIROU HAS ONLY SEEN 2 MOVIES THIS YEAR. WHAT A FRAUD! A CRAPPY FILM LOVER LIKE SOLO HAS BEEN TO THE THEATRES 4 TIMES
You're sad and amusing. Anyways, this is more pointless than a eunuch in a whorehouse, so Im dropping it.
BTW, Zodiac was even more enjoyable the second time.
And you don't avoid "blatantly obvious shitty movies." You're guided by Rotten Tomatoes which means you're guided by mainstream critics which means you'll never discover any rough, hidden gems that might get reviewed badly but will appeal to you anyway. :P
Last post on this matter, although I said I was done, because once again, you're talking shit.
You're full of shit. Just in the past week Ive watched 7 films on DVD (The Prestige, Marie Antoinette, The Third Man, Miller's Crossing, The Killer, Die Hard, La Haine), and been to the theatres twice. And they were all hardly OSCAR WORTHY or whatever jive you're talking. 9/7 = 1.28 * 365 = 469 movies this year at that pace. Pretty much watch something everyday.
Now I'm done. Continue with your regularly scheduled hating.
What a stupid argument. Solo is a liar, and Ichirou is dense. Problem solved.
Why does it matter how many you seen in a year? I am picky about what I go to a lot of the time.

If someone sees 10 new movies in a year in theaters but sees 30 classics on dvd and someone else sees 30 movies in a theater but just 10 classics on dvd who is the better fan?

Neither. Hell, what in god's name makes one a "good" film fan to begin with? How does one become a "bad" fan?

There's no such thing as a "good" film fan. There are just film fans. Its too subjective to grade.
Oh, and no "cinematic beacons" either. ;)
Cinematic beacon is just a joke made up by Willco because more often then not, we agree on films. So for that, I was his "cinematic beacon", guiding him to what movies he may like. But I threw him with The Matador, and since then, THINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME *cue sappy music*
I say more like 90%.
We even think the same about Casino! :-*
Where did I brag? I stated a fact, no more, no less. We both love the Spider-Man movies, both loved Casino Royale, KKBB, and so on. Its not 100% of the time, but we've probably agreed about 80% of the time about general movie stuff.
The best theater experience I can remember is a tie between Sin City and Borat.My borat showing was kind of dead lol :-\

The quality of the film is well questionable obviously but the ROTS midnight showing was amazing, my top ever. Better than the TPM one at that. Everyone knew this was the last time in their lifetime they'd see a new star wars movie and went all out. Very fun.
Exactly like IA? That's proof right there you've never seen IA. ::)
The best theatre going experience ever was when I saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on opening day when I was just a wee lad.
I was always a Raphael guy.
Raphael was more uptight.
Donatello was smart but egotistical.
Michaelangelo was crazy but dumb.
Leo cut pizza.
Who was the one who was "cool but rude"?Maybe Donatello.
