I have no idea how anyone can take that genre seriously. Blackwitch had some interesting parts and a solid ending, but this shit is embarrassing

Blair Witch was pretty cool because nobody had done anything like it before. Now it's being used an excuse to hire no-name actors, drop the budget to pocket change and a box of Cheez-Its, and not bother with pointless things like framing, cinematography, plot, and actually making a good movie that people want to see.

I don't think it's taken seriously. I've never paid for a Paranormal Activity movie. I've gotten reservations via Gofobo for each one but they were really fun in a crowded theater. I have never met someone that actually cares about the story or thinks it's legitimately good film. It's just fun.

i think that's gonna happen when you take a poll of over 800 dudes.

but i guess that's what you mean by predictably. i really don't see the problem, though.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15071 on:** August 01, 2012, 03:02:46 PM »

The director's list is far superior

also Rear Window>Vertigo

the sole inclusion of The Mirror makes the director's list better

but it's an odd inclusion, given who it's sitting along side.

and you're wrong on the directors list because i haven't seen the mirror for that reason alone.

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #15080 on:** August 01, 2012, 03:09:13 PM »

i guess i can give the directors list some points for putting 2001 higher.

lol bitch also:

Godfather 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Apocalypse Now

AN is good but like, I never considered it a high tier film. I would put so many other films over Apocalypse Now. Hell, AN is the worst of the Vietnam film trifecta of Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, and Platoon.

II>I but it often changes for me. I think the biggest issue is that the transition from Michael's story to the Vito flashbacks often feels a bit jarring. Thematically they're similar but they break up the momentum of Michael's story imo.

I just re-watched Total Recall, a Blu-Ray remaster came out today. It's the earliest theater experience I can remember. Mars atmosphere and its effects on Arnold scarred me for life.

Fuck Colin Farrell.

There's some stuff in Total Recall which doesn't hold up real well, but it's pretty solid in general. The effects of Mars' atmosphere on Arnold are some of the things which aren't super impressive.

But, yeah, fuck Colin Farrell and fuck the remake. What is the damned point?
