No. Not really. You have so much to learn... :(

i did watch this short flash video made by a couple of students who acknowledged how unbearably boring the movie can be to some people . the flash made a "2001 in a nutshell" , and where there would be 10 minutes of bloody NOTHING theyd write what was supposedly implied by scenes liek that . and yes, the concept of it all IS very interesting , but kubricks presentation was unbearable . despite the ideas, i would rather stab myself in the face with a running chainsaw than watch it again .

also , heh , thats weak .
sure i have lots to learn but come on , enjoying a movie doesnt hold a measure of ones intelligence .

What has become of this forum?

god IS dead

2001 is a masterpiece....and bashing it is not making you look cool...

well, on this topic, I really hated Mullholland Drive...if altered can bash Kubrick, then I can rag Lynch...

i also hate hate this one movie with william h macy...i cant even find it on imdb, it is the most boring thing ive ever seen, the only reason i watched all of it was because i thought the point had to be coming sooner or later.

also, any piece of any John waters that ive seen....female trouble is inexcusable...i "get" the whole Waters schtick, and it is still inexcusable.

yeh well you know....I enjoyed GodThumb more than i did Godfather...yehp

I agree

one of the worst I have seen was some monster movie from the fifties called Attack of the 50 Foot Woman......or something of that nature.

well the effects in 2001 are nothing compared to what can be done today, so this has to be seen in context.

however it is still a kick ass movie but it takes a certain state of mind to enjoy its aesthetics. i will confess to falling asleep the first time i saw it, and i would fall asleep again perhaps, but i've also really enjoyed it. however i have other kubrick movies i prefer. for its time however it was quite an achievement.

You gotta remember when it was made. People had some fucking patience then. Good things take time, and it is one of the best movies ever made.

? I find the special effects are way better than anything done today. It looks much more realistic.

I totally agree. People are conditioned to watch films with a much faster pace nowadays. Even Die Hard makes people yawn or fall asleep. Maybe it has something to do with the way video games and ad's rush through our minds at the speed of light.

The underground Comedy

Do not ever rent this movie.

Since when are you home? I tried calling you earlier and noone was home. I'll try again after this post. You have to introdce me to more movies; American Hardcore looks great.

Well I'm very narrow in the field of movies, but The Lion Kind 2 was horrid. And the Matrix should have stayed as just a single movie

We hear about this day-in, day-out in media class. It's fascinating, really. aMusic videos are also a potential cause, with all the 3 second cuts, nothing stays on the screen for more then, say, 10 seconds, because they want to keep yr (already fucked) attention on the shitty video... (get it?)

Yep! We're all very spoilt when it comes to stimulating the brain cells to open up the adrenal medulla.

It's almost all shot-by-shot with Hitchcock,so it isn't all that bad. Sure, when you stack it up against the aura and atmosphere of the original, it's shit, but it's still a good movie, and Van Sant did the right thing by remaking it shot-by-shot.

Vaughn, Heche, Macy, Moore and Mortensen are all okay in it.

"Entrails Of A Virgin" is the worst movie I've seen recently.

Wrong, not only was it miscast it was just a terrible idea. There is no reason whatsoever to remake "Psycho", it was a dumb idea, about as dumb an idea as someone saying "Let's remake "Rear Window" and we can cast Christopher Reeves in it, because you know, he's really in a wheelchair.

twenty dogs for the ages - there are definitely even worse movies, but these are some of the very worst that I've been unfortunate enough to see and can remember at the moment

You're lucky it won't let me give you negative reputation. Garden State is one of my favorites.

oh... a dare??




ps- giving neg rep is for the weak

I liked Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense is so-so/okay, but yeah the rest are utter bow wow dogs...from what I've seen of 'em anyway.

here, read this.

so very well put. i'm adding that writer to my will.

(I was actually about to reply to this but then the pop-up came about your PM so it was delayed. Bastard.)
I could really care less, I'm just being a cunt/playful :)
But really, how can you not love Natalie Portman in Garden State? hwagoidsjf.

ha ha ha.

hm-- how can i not love her...

let's see..

she plays a most annoying dorketta? yeah! that!




BLECH

read that article i posted above! it's wonderful...

some choice quotes:

If Zach Braff is the voice of my generation, can't someone please crush his larynx?

What has Braff's keen ear picked up about the nation's young people? If Garden State is to be believed, they spend their days squinting and staring wistfully while slowly learning that it's OK to feel, and, like, live. When they do speak, yearbook quotes come out. For example: "Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place."

If Garden State is any indication, Braff's weaknesses as a director go beyond narcissism. In the film, he piles on quirky details—a disembodied red gas pump hanging from a car, a guy in a suit of armor, a framed diploma on the ceiling—to keep viewers from scrutinizing his shallow characters and clichéd cultural observations. Thisis the kind of movie the Zuckers would have made if they used gags in the service of drama rather than screwball comedy.


the gold doesn't end there. there's lots more.

Independence Day comes immediately to mind.

You're right, Independence Day is a really, really bad one...okay gotta watch Imaginationland: Part III and then go out.

oh...here's comes some festivities...

99.9% of robin williams', will smith's and jim belushi's filmographies.

That movie about that guy who is broke and left the girl pregnant and at the end they stay together because that is the right thing to do.

Probably a toss up between Jaws 17 and Friday the Thirteenth part 23. Either that or something with Chuck Norris or Jean-Claude van Damme.

As far as movies I've seen in the cinema; I once got free tickets for some shit movie with David Duchovny. Dunno what it was called, but it was shit.

Knocked up that... that one.

wait wait-- he did the fisher king dead poets society. cadillac man wasnt too terrible-- a stupid comedy.

but yeah, considering he's made innumerable cinematic turds... i'd adjust the percentage to what, 95%? :D

Dead Poet Society, my only qualms about it, was that the guy did not have the guts to stand up to his father.

all i'm saying is give the man a stage, a microphone and half an idea of who his audience is and then you'll see the real magic happen.

Robbin Williams doesn't annoy me as much as Eddie Murphy.

word.

ohh yeah, 100% of will ferrell's and jimmy fallon's filmographies too. just watching the trailers make my skin crawl.

Yes Will Ferrel, I think he does not choose his movies right. He just chooses whatever is thrown at him. Jimmy Fallon, I just think he is cute, but not a very good actor.
