Solo does the movies, PD farts in his general direction with his appalling taste

[Solo]

y'all like too much stuff. the worst score is a 5/10? you're the egm of movies!

Its more a case that I usually dont review the REAL stinkers. If you like though, I can post some of those. I also reviewed ALL 21 of the Bond movies, and there are some 2s and 3s to be found there!

[The Fake Shemp]

Why would Running Scared not aged well?  There's hardly any technology in it and it's a crime movie, nobody is really wearing hot clothes of the era or using hip slang.

[Van Cruncheon]

Willco, because I have standards.

Not tech wise, but more in the sense, Im 24 now, and I can still get a hoot from this shit. But when I am 50, would I still think its cool?

[The Fake Shemp]

That really doesn't explain why you wouldn't rate any movie ever a 10.  You pretty much concede you have a 1-9 scale then.

[FlameOfCallandor]

Did you ever think that people here tend to only review the movies they enjoy? You're also an old cynical bastard who still trolls video game forums even though you have a kid.

Why? He's being pretty honest, dude.

80% from the cream of the crop. I dub this the gaf-hates-something-that-becomes-popular phenomenon.

Uh, when I saw the movie, it was getting fairly mixed reviews from people that had actually seen it.  I generally don't trust critics.

And when have I ever hated something because it was popular?  Nobody actually likes or dislikes something because it is popular or well received.  I disliked Brick because (number 1 reason) the dialogue was awful to the point of being jarring, (2) the plot was really thin despite machinations to make it appear better, (3) the acting was bad, but this may be a side effect of 1.  

It also has length issues.  It doesn't seem like it knows when it wants to end, and dings a car or two while trying to pull into the parking place.  The movie also has some general suspension of disbelief issues, mainly in regards to 3rd Rock Kid's treatment by Shaft, although those issues would've disappeared had the movie not slavishly tried to imitate noir-ish dialogue.

So, bad dialogue, questionable acting, weak plot dragged on for far too long, doesn't know when to end (and then crashes during landing), unbelievability, and a few good camera shots.  Really great movie there.  I was intrigued by the idea of a High School Noir, but instead of focusing on the High School or Noir side of the coin, it tried to do both, and it failed.  I'm almost certain this movie only has fans because it is unique and quirky, both of which aren't necessarilly good traits to those with refined palettes.

Thats my reason why you wont see pretty much any reviews less than 5/10: I generally dont waste the time to write about shit. HOWEVER, the exception is movies with lots of hype/circle jerkage. Then I dont mind writing the inevitable 2/10 review when they disappoint.

I am already salivating over the prospect of the 300 one  

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Solo, I doubt anybody will care about your review of 300. Not to be mean or condescending, but it seems the type of film people will see no matter how much you bitch.

No doubts. Its one I would do more for my amusement, and to draw the ire at GAF of people who cant take the slightest bit of negativity towards whatever they are obsessed with.  Yes, playing the role of shit disturber can be fun, I admit.

Who knows, it may prove me wrong, and I may actually love it. Stranger things have happened. I would never have thought Id love Running Scared, but I did.

And even if he did, he wouldn't be dumb enough to bump the thread again after he got unbanned.

[bud]

watch gothika for lolz

[CajoleJuice]

The only movie out of those that I've seen is The Exorcist. Meh.

[Himu]

Yeah I figured that Gothika was shit. It was on ACM and I was all "wtf? that just came out last year!'

[Himu]

The only movie out of those that I've seen is The Exorcist. Meh.

I've wanted to see The Crow for years..

[TVC15]

Watch Gozu.  You are a japafag, you will love it.

[Himu]

If only they played Ichi The Killer.

[TVC15]

Gozu is probably better, overall.

[bud]

There's some actual semen dripping at the beginning of that movie

[TVC15]

There's some actual semen dripping at the beginning of that movie

But Gozu has a lactation scene.  At least 2 of them, actually.

[TVC15]

Gozu also has "the dog scene."

But anyway, watch Gozu.

[Solo]

Watch The Crow, Himu. Love that flick.

Brilliant, brilliant opening.

[The Fake Shemp]

The Exorcist!

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Oh wait, didn't see the Excorcist on the list. Shit, if you haven't seen that yet Himu, WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF ROCK HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER?!?!

[CajoleJuice]

Oh wait, didn't see the Excorcist on the list. Shit, if you haven't seen that yet Himu, WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF ROCK HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER?!?!

YEA! Even I've seen it!

[TVC15]

Is it the original version of the Exorcist or the gay expanded version?

The expanded version isn't necessarilly bad, but I'd make sure the original is the first version you see.

[The Fake Shemp]

The extended cut is pretty good.

[TVC15]

The extended cut is pretty good.

Yeah, but wouldn't you agree that it's best to see the unmolested cut first?

[Solo]

Always check out the original cut first, then proceed to others. Anyways, you cant go wrong with The Exorcist either. First saw it when I was like 10, and there are certain scenes that are unforgettable.

[Robo]

It's like watching Redux first.  Who the shit does that?

[Cheebs]

Well, many times the original cut is not on DVD. Such as E.T. in which the set with both verisons was a limited deal and the director's cut is the only edition to be bought currently. I am unsure but isn't the theatrical cut of Blade Runner also not currently available on dvd? And in the cases of many comedies the "unrated" cut is the only one you can get in widescreen.

[beelzebozo]

tsk tsk on that brick hate back on the first page.
so much so that i believe i'll utilize an emoticon

[Phoenix Dark]

You gave Rear Mirror a 9/10? It's a pure classic to me; I honestly can't think of any flaws in that movie.

Such a classic that you can't even remember its name? Window, bitch!
Anyways, it is pretty much perfect, but I give it a 9 because I feel Hitchcock made even better films, like North By Northwest, Notorious, and especially Vertigo. Those 3 are my Hitch 10's.

North By Northwest, Vertigo, Psycho, & Strangers on a Train are all better than Rear Window, even though rear window is great. But it is not Hitchcock's best.

One problem, though... Throne of Blood is most certainly not Mifune's best performance, dude.

[Solo]

Who is discussing Toshiro Mifune OR Throne of Blood?

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Your second wave of reviews, dude. You claim its his best Kurosawan performance, which I disagreed with.
