Do you mean MI6? Because I don't think James Bond works for an assault rifle.

Are you fucking serious? These are terrible.

Are you fucking serious? Those were great.

The grey.
Emotional heartstringpulling because they're regular joes man, just like you! And they're stuck in the snow, with the wolves after them. Watching them try to not die for 2 hours is enough, sure.

Have you ever seen Family guy? How would you like to see it with just Mark Wahlberg and Peter Griffin? For 2 hours? It's an instant classic!

For years hollywood has had a problem with a lack of ideas. Only brown haired 30 year old white men would star in movies. Now the next innovative and amazing movie is here. John Carter. Now even the name of the film is a brown haired 30 year old white man.

And Skyfall! Because at skyfall, which is apparantly a place, we can hear adele mess up the pronounciation of English words, and the structure of english sentences. Also, Bond drowns at the beginning. But then is immediately fine again. Because we can't let the theater overflow with tears. That's bad for business. We have to save some emotional scarring for the villain. He hacks everything. he hacks a bomb into m16 with a computer that is in there, which takes m16 a minute to figure out because it needs to triangulapoisition it, and hacks traffic so M won't get there on time. And hacks the personel and security out of the building. And then his goons too, after they set up the bomb. How about THAT character development?

You've got emotional issues, they're just movies

Being properly critic of movies is not an emotional issue.

Watched Red Tails. I liked it. Then again for me it's just WWII plane porn. The actors did a fine job, other than the white bomber pilots. Their performance was cringe worthy. I also did not agree with a lot of the Air to Ground combat segments. 6 .50 cals is powerful, but they arent 20mm cannons. You had to be a pretty good marksman, or just lucky, to blow shit up like is portrayed in this movie. Other than the over-the-top decimation of ground forces, the CGI was very well done, especially the Air to Air combat, which I wish there was a bit more of. I give it a 7.5 /10.

I guess I can consider myself lucky not to be able to see faults like one dimensional characters and things like that. I don't even know what that means. Nor do I care. I was entertained. Perhaps this bias comes from a deep respect for the airmen in WWII. Two of my grand-uncles piloted B-17s in WWII.

It isn't, but you seem really invested in being 'properly critical'.

There's being ''properly critical'' and there's coming across as an unpleasable whiner. Just saying.

...a list of 100 movies I like.

Unless I missed something the earliest movie on your list is 2001 from '68.

This is not intended as a criticism, just an observation.

Looks like you're into sci-fi, so I recommend the original Planet of the Apes and the original The Day The Earth Stood Still, if you haven't seen them.

Why is it that every movie thread devolves into a bunch of people masturbating over their own tastes in movies?

 

[TorontoReign]

Because some people just can't get enough of themselves. They love to boost their egos and epeen.

Unless you have a sufficiently large forum with enough active members, all things turn circlejerky. This isn't always a bad thing, as it can prevent some people from posting with godawful terrible opinions. On the other hand, when people post bad opinions, I can politely inform them of the terrible mistakes they've made throughout their lives.

I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang today. God I love that movie. And Robert Downey Jr. And Val Kilmer as Gay Perry.

Still gay?
Nah, knee deep in pussy. Just like the name so much I can't get rid of it.

It's full of great back and forth and one liners, and my favorite tagline for a beer ever:

I'm for Genaro's, but then, what do I know? I'm a bear. I suck the heads off of fish.

Ghost Rider is indeed, technically, a super shitty film. You just KNOW there was NO ONE on that crew that actually focused on making a good film. But I still like it. In the way you like crappy eighties movies. That, combined with the fact that a flaming skullheaded motorcycle rider with a flaming chain who judges the damned is instant awesome.

It's sort of the same with Superhero movie. The focus on one fun character and his fun adventures just overrides my sense of quality appreciation.

And you criticize me for not liking movies and you say some off my favorite movies are crap? Seriously, Alien? Django Unchained? THE PRESTIGE?! You just made the list. The other list.

There's being ''properly critical'' and there's coming across as an unpleasable whiner. Just saying.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was NMA.

So it's just a movie about Nicolas Cage with a flaming skull who isn't happy, but judges the damned with his flaming chain? Not exactly a brain wrecking plot there.

I'm Nicolas Cage.
I'm a stunt driver.
I sell my soul to the devil.
I have a flaming skull.
I have a flaming chain.
I have a flaming motorcycle.
I judge the damned.
Bleh, I fall asleep during the movie because it is fuckawful and boring.
The end.

Do they have an equivalent of the Academy Awards for porn movies.

Yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVN_Award

Well, I just watched it today and I have to say you missed the entire point of the movie. It's a melding of the blaxplotation movies of the 70's with the spaghetti westerns of the 60's.

And this cheese homage has been recognized by the Academy Awards as one of the best films of 2012/2013! - "Excellence in cinematic achievements"... what the fuck. A 2000 cheese homage to 1960's cheese.

For the sake of my sanity I hope it doesn't win Best Picture.

I'd say most Tarantino movies are a homage to something. Jackie Brown was an homage to cheesy 70s blaxploitation movies and it was excellent. I don't know what "cinematic achievements" are, exactly, but I thought Django was well-made and I liked it very much.

I'm guessing you haven't seen enough good movies? T3rminator, Surrogates, Looper, X-Men - what a joke.

 

[Wintermind]

Homage, pastiche, hideous rip off, take your pick of wording, but all of Tarantino's movies are one of them.

Weirdest thing is that he put Alien in both the good and the bad movie list.
I think he just forgot Alien in the bad list. Because that movie rules.

Yeah, Alien was only supposed to be in the good column...

They're two radically different movies. Alien is pretty much straight horror and Aliens more action with bits of horror.

(I'd watch Aliens of Alien most any day though).

E: I just finished watch Skyfall. It was not a bad movie, even though it gave me the usual HACKING! headache and this apparently cool thing where villains get captured so they can escape and be awesome and shit. Likewise the "here's their captured laptop lets get data OH NO WE'RE BEING HACKED HOW DID WE NOT SEE THIS COMING"
