[salutations]

i thought marie antoinette was great because it focused less on the french revolution and more just on HER which clears alot of things up. like everyone thinks she was such a piece of shit but she was jsut like,  a young girl who got thrown on a throne and didn't know what was going on outside her palace walls. also all the little comparisons to economic crisis in the 80s like, when shes trying on shoes and the converse sneakers are sitting there or like all the old punk music they play and shit and also

it was kidna boring in some parts but it has my favorite actor in it and all the costumes and scenery were BEAUTIFULLLLLLL the way the movie was shot was great.

ok im done i needed to put that out there

[BloodyCheery]

Damn, I forgot about Paprika and Pans Labyrinth! Might as well add Back to the Future 1&2 and Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls to the list.

I can't really think of many movies at the moment, since I don't watch many anymore. So from what I remember...


I'm pretty sure The Theif and the Cobbler was a good movie, however, I havn't seen that movie in years, so I do not remember it all.

I'm pretty sure a billion people have already said The Dark Knight  is a fantastic movie by now.

Also, I am Legend wasn't that bad.

1408 Sucked.

And for Nostalgia's sake, Batman, Return Of The Joker.

Along With Heath Ledger, Mark Hammil is one hell of a Joker.

I just came home from watching Moon and I think it's the best movie I've seen this year but this year has really been full of shit lately

lmao sorry i have to make a pretentious film schooly response

i HATED that movie. several reasons. sophia coppolla is not a great director, she's too overindulgent. it felt like half the movie was wasted showing all of kirsten dunst's dumb every day rituals and the various puppy/candy/shoe montages. shots lingered for too long, i know it was an artistic choice but it made things very slow and boring even if the cinematography was nice. also if im watching a period piece i want to be immersed in the time period and story, and the modern music took me completely out of it regardless of what its symbolic meaning was. bad unconvincing acting... kirsten dunst didnt make me feel sympathy at all, she made me hate her. jason schwartzman is painful every moment hes on screen.. that was probably also the filmmaker's intention, but that doesnt make it any less unpleasant to watch.

if im watching a drama i need to feel for the characters and what's happening to them. i felt nothing but a desire to see their heads cut off, which [spoiler]doesnt even happen at the end, they just leave the palace and thats it... i was like "no fucking guillotine? why did i just pay to see this movie then?"[/spoiler]

keep in mind im biased cuz i saw this movie on a date and we both agreed afterwards that we fuckin hated it. i go on a lot of dates like that, movies that neither of us like... it doesnt end well. same thing happened with babel and quantum of solace

[rtil]

kind of a dumb move to see a sophia coppolla film for a date

i'm glad it didn't have a hollywood ending and you're not really supposed to feel sympathetic for a woman that almost single-handedly destroyed france

[f0d]

i guess that was my problem with it, too ambiguous

but nothing tops babel on the horrible date movies list

[Necronomitr0n]

i wish i could write something that goes beyond 'i liked it' or 'it was good' but i don't think i can

[salutations]

you are correct that was a pretentious response !!!!!!

lmao i did say the movie was boring in alot of parts didn't I? I think I did. I liked how pretty the movie was though.

actually everything you said wasn't relevant to anything i said so there is no argument here goodday f0d how r u

and all those french pastries and cakes jesus christ

[tmk]

but nothing tops babel on the horrible date movies list

lmao

nothing kills romance quite like watching small children get lost in a desert

[Daveb0t]

Schindlers list

[f0d]

but nothing tops babel on the horrible date movies list

lmao

nothing kills romance quite like watching small children get lost in a desert

or cate blanchette with a bullet in her shoulder pissing in a bucket while making out with brad pitt

or a lil arab kid jacking off to his sister

or a chicken getting decapitated in front of a bunch of kids

or a pointless 15 minute mexican dance sequence

or a deaf and mute 14 yr old japanese chick flashing her cunt and trying to make her dentist finger her (keep in mind the date was with an asian girl)

or the overwhelmingly bleak downer of an ending

honest to god babel was the single worst movie ive ever seen get oscar attention since moulin rouge, and that isnt just the bias talking

[RobHalford]

that was a detective, not a dentist iirc

[rtil]

saw bruno tonight. it doesn't have the charm that borat did - but that's because borat's antics were innocent. bruno is a different kind of character, but he's still hilarious and offensive in every way. it's not even an hour and a half but it feels a lot longer than that. not only was it funny but it points out the ridiculousness of a lot of american stereotypes and ignorance. i thought it was brilliant. although i am (pleasantly) surprised it has an R rating - i'm not sure how they convinced the censors. apparantly they had to cut one scene to keep it, and after you see the movie you're going to wonder what could be more crude than what they had already showed in the movie

[CoolDrMoney]

I worked at Blockbuster and my friend came in with this girl and asked me what were good movies. And I recommended Babel. Later on I find out that he wanted date movies and he was very mad at me!
