I have never seen someone as intellectually shallow as PeeDee. Every time he tries to "review" a movie, Roger Ebert dies a little more. His opinions on film are as uninformed as his opinions on politics, religion, and any other subject he attempts to discuss on this board.
His Unforgiven review made me angry, but his American History X review just made me laugh, and his reviews on Sleepers and Kids just made me shake my head and sigh.
Pathetic.
-
He reviewed Kids?
When is he going to review Blue Velvet?
-
Over on Mupepe's forum. I doubt he'll ever watch Blue Velvet. He'll probably BS and say he saw it but just look it up on Wikipedia or IMDB and write his review based on that.
-
It would be very easy for me to tell if he cribbed the review. I have read like everything online about Blue Velvet.
-
Maybe he'll watch National Velvet by mistake and review that.
-
he reviewed american history x? that's one of my favourite norton movies.
what did he say?

It was powerful. But it used too much slow-motion.
-
He has been bashing Kingdom of Heaven on Mupepe.com....without seeing it. He is treating movies like video game fanboys would. :-\

First of all, I hate Ebert.
That doesn't mean PD doesn't need a massive kick in the ass for bashing Unforgiven.

i was disappointed with koh when i first saw it in theaters. i was expecting a gladiator-esque movie with lots of action and killing but it was completely different. i rented it a couple of months later and loved it. supposedly the dc is far superiour so i'll check that out on blu-ray.

the theatrical cut was one of the worst movies of 2005. The director's cut is my favorite movie of 2005.

All of PD's movie reviews are terrible, he just touched a collective nerve with Unforgiven.

Enough with the PD movie threads. ::)

Be thankful he can never post a topic again because of his bet that Snakes on a Plane will be a gigantic blockbuster.

My review of Kids:
I've been watching it while posting today. Wow. According to the RT it's at 55%, basically a split. This is not surprising to me because the movie paints a very disturbing picture of the youth of America.
One of the first things I noticed is that the title of the movie is quite fitting, for there are only a handfull of adults in the entire movie; out of that handfull, one parental figure is shown. The problems with the youth can always be traced back to the home structure; perhaps this is why so many (presumably) adult critics found the movie so disgusting. In some ways it points a finger at them, but it's done through the movie's essense instead of being overt.
The film is shot almost like a documentary, and it feels as if you're truly viewing a snapshot of something that is going on right now in cities across the country. It's a powerful, raw view. While that view is indeed disturbing, it never feels manipulative. I know people like this. I've been in situations where I've seen this behavior, so perhaps it wasn't a huge shock to me. When I was younger it and would see my peers acting signifigantly different than me, of course it was something "new". But as a 20 year old guy I can honestly say the movie struck home with me.
Yes the movie featured rather amatuer acting, but it struck me as raw - like the rest of the movie. I thought it actually made the movie feel more authentic. The writing also struck me in the same way. If you've ever taken a bus with a bunch of kids you know what's up.
Overall my reaction to the movie is the complete opposite to Mupepe's. I thought it was a good movie, one that should be seen by as many people as possible. It's always tough to look in the mirror and see your faults, and perhaps many people hate the movie because it depicts a path they went down, and still haven't escaped.
7.5/10
How is that a bad thing?

False. Remember, G and FoC still post here, and at one time Dark Shake/Miles Trahan was an active poster.
