1) then, as soon as Dumbledore gets his head out of his ass and finds out that Voldemort is using a horocrux is, he knows where a horocrux is? it doesn't matter if they explain it in the book, the movie has to stand on its own.

i just assumed that when dumbledore found out something 'clicked' and he finally realised what he had to do

give me a break, how HP6 is getting all these good reviews is beyond me

Because it broke the mould of the other films somewhat and was really, really well directed. it was dark and moody but it didnt feel forced, unlike spiderman 3 which was a huge bag of shit full of pointless drama and 'edgy' scenarios. im glad that snape's clan just fucked off instead of having an 'omg epic battle'. added to the quiet/calm before the storm feel of the film.

I saw HP6 2 days ago and I thought it was really boring. I think the big problem is I don't give a fuck about any of the characters. I haven't invested any emotion over the previous books/films

I think the big problem is I don't give a fuck about any of the characters.

this is a problem for me with most films. there is nothing to keep me watching unless there is a character who i care about. i dont care about the harry potter characters because i feel like i could only relate to them when i was a preteen. i havent watched a single one of the films

one interesting thing they said in my screenwriting class was never make a character cry, or the audience will lose sympathy for them. you're supposed to have something horrible happen to them, then force the character to internalize the pain and allow it to come through only in their expression or a gesture. this will make the audience cry a lot quicker than an overblown melodramatic "crying" scene

for instance has anyone seen the wrestler? i probably already mentioned it in this thread but it was an amazing film because you literally felt mickey rourke's pain. everything he feels, you feel. if youve seen the film, the most powerful scene is the one with the nintendo. ive never in my life cried during a film, but that was one of the saddest things ive ever seen, simply because they held on the shot of mickey rourke sitting there alone after the kid leaves. now thats great filmmaking

I saw the wrestler and actually thot the saddest scene was when he cied a lil!

yeh true that was pretty sad too

but in context of course because he built up the hyper macho image the whole film

and it only worked cuz it was subtle, if he had been bawling his eyes out the entire time it wouldnt have been as sad. think sean penn in mystic river when he finds out his daughter is dead... overacting at its absolute worst

I havent seen that movie!

I just watched Rocky I-VI and Rambo I-IV

fucking amazing movies

[Jeinu]

just saw the hurt locker the other day, and i gotta say, i really enjoyed it. not your typical war movie, imo, had a pretty gritty, suspenseful feel throughout the whole thing, very good.

one scene that really stuck with me was when the main guy goes home and there's this stark contrast between the two vastly different lifestyles. this one segment had the fellow grocery shopping and looking at hundreds of different cereal boxes, just trying to make a choice. it's just a few seconds long but i would go back to see it again just for that little bit.

just watched snatch

it was fun to watch i guess but nowhere near as good as i thought it was gonna be

then again it came out before a slew of movies that copied its style so i will give it props for innovation... although requiem for a dream beat them to the punch with the fancy editing and cinematography

[FrozenSheep]

want to watch 500 days of summer soon, anyone seen it yet?

[billy]

I just watched Rocky I-VI and Rambo I-IV

fucking amazing movies

only rocky I and VI are good and only Rambo I is good although IV is ok

[Ashington]

I saw The Taking of Pelham 123, it was alot better then i thought it would be. Denzel was on form as usual and even Travolta (whom i usually hate) put on a good show. The plot didn't feel too farfetched (for a hostage/thriller film) and it's not the best thing you'll ever see, but it's definately worth watching.

Snatch is pretty much a Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrel's wannabe, Snatch is a good film, but Lock, Stock i feel does it all much better.
