The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I know it happened pages ago, but Raging Bull? Come on!
As for me, 2001 (sorry, the book is soooo good, the movie is not.)
Rocky Horror Picture Show. Sorry. F this movie. I get all the trans-gender musical I need from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Tim Curry is still very good though. I cannot throw stones at a guy who can carry a movie based on a board game.
I am a huge Peter Sellers fan, but did not get into Being There. Everyone around me told me going in it was like this great comedy...probably the worst thing you could say. I may need to give it another watch, but god damn was I disappointed at the time.
The Lord of the Rings movies. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but I know two of them are on the top 25 movies of all time on IMDB and I cringe when I see them on other lists as well. No offense, they are good movies. They are NOT great movies.
I also liked Back to the Future 2 way more than Back to the Future 3. I assumed this was what everyone thought up until about a year ago. Back to the Future 3 fans are out there, and in numbers, they will eat the heart out of your fucking chest. They are a hungry, bitter group.
Watch, I'm gonna see it, and make another thread about it like Mystic River.
I'll be very cross with you if that happens!
Goatmon I saw you blaming spergin' there.
Goatmon you cannot blame spergin' for your bad taste
It's not a matter of taste, but a simple lacking grasp on certain nuances.
I've come pretty far over the years, but there is (and probably always will be) a certain degree of nuance that will always go completely over my head, and not for lack of trying.
Lost in Translation seemed to fall into one of those little cracks.
Crash and american beauty for exactly the opposite reason. Crash was about racism, old hat. with American Beauty it seemed like there was some sort of profound deeper message or inner meaning, I just for the life of me couldn't figure out what they were getting at.

Yes. Yes he was. Blaaaaargh.
It's funny, because I actually own it
I bought it because it was cheap, like $7, and everyone that knows me and knows my taste in film swore up and down that I would love it
Nope
So now that movie sits on my shelf, the only unloved one
Well let's check his username
...nope, it's not Munkus
Mystery solved!

Man. Fuck Sean Penn.
how many of you think Lost in Translation was "boring" because "nothing happened"?
i'm just going to make a list
That'd make for a way better movie than Mystic River.
Right here
I was probably on your list anyways
I have something to tell you.
I need to know who is excellent and who is not

reserved spot, even
if you do, you should see it!
it's excellent, but it's no dumb and dumber
Even though it's a comedy (and a great one), I absolutely love the way it handles time travel (remembering the keys and such)
But yeah, great film
So noted

I am one of those people, fari.
It was a little too subtle for my taste.
Watch, I'm gonna see it, and make another thread about it like Mystic River.
I'll be very cross with you if that happens!
Goatmon I saw you blaming spergin' there.
goatmon you were already on everybody's list
Deal!
Do you hate The Road?
Buy it in eight days
Then learn to hate it
Goatmon you cannot blame spergin' for your bad taste

Edit: It was already in my queue. How very odd. Oh shit Guy Pearce is in it. No wonder it's in my queue.
That movie was good.
So glad I made the extra trip to the indie theatre in order to see it, it played for about one per day here for one week, at a single theatre.
And on top of that it took five fucking months to hit DVD
What films do that anymore? Seriously
Hit.

There you go. Fuel.

But I do feel I'm missing something there
