...today is the inauguration of our first [chat] president!
you know, what really cracks me up about this forum is currently that most of its denizens apparently didn't realise that romantic movies are chock full of terribly damaging gender stereotypes until a movie featuring a big-haired sparkly 'vampire' was produced, and even then its only because the ones with girlfriends are jealous that they're not obviously the centre of attention 24/7 anymore.
its just so gloriously fucked up!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized this. My mother still doesn't understand why I hate to watch romance movies.

Hey if you're gonna call any role remotely eccentric crazy then it's not Brad Pitt's fault it's yours.
Also Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

I call any movie in which a man makes a deal with the devil to sell his soul, and then gives the devil the bird as he begins his ascent into heaven a fantastic movie.
Fantastic.
And, I realize this is late, but I don't throw tizzies over winkies, Passer, they make me want to kill a small child. Just want you to be aware.
Tom Bombadil was a vital part of the story god damn it
I liken Tom Bombadil to my appendix. It was definitely significant at some point in history, and it's probably good to have as long as it's not screwing things up, but at the end of the day I wouldn't be sad to be rid of it if I had to.
He plays a crazy fitness instructor who decides to black mail an ex-CIA analyst.
Emphasis on the crazy word there.
What about Meet Joe Black?
Ok, two-ish. Burn after reading, Meet Joe Black. I'd really only consider Meet Joe Black to be a solid contender, though.
The man needs to make a wider variety of movies if he wants me to be confident of his acting ability, though. I've liked all his movies (seriously, each one), but I don't consider him a great actor.

Constantine is a movie loosely based off of the comics that it uses the licensed name of that's a fun romp of some homp against demons and bad duders.
Then there's no excuse for you. I officially cast you out of the Nerd club. Give me your membership card and leave the premises immediately, traitor.

I really want to recommend this film to my trainer, but I just know he won't get it. dude saw Underworld on TV last week and thought it was 'far out'.

Just because you dislike one terrible movie (rightfully) doesn't excuse you from enjoying another terrible one. :P

to be fair Alan Moore is like lord almighty of the neckbeards

Oh I still enjoyed Max Payne a little bit.
I swear some of you are terribly jaded individuals.
Enjoy your cinematic adventures, people!
What about Meet Joe Black?
Oh well, just more time for proper work, I suppose.
Crazy tough-guy roll in Mr. and Mrs. Smith too.
I might excuse Burn After Reading if he had a track record beyond the psycho tough-guy one.

but also impossible to put in a movie version without an extra 30 minutes of film time or having the audience go 'what the hell was that about?'
so lazy :P

How was he crazy in Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
Now you're just being disingenuous.

he wasn't crazy in burn after reading or mr and mrs smith.
Isn't that part of his appeal in the Mr. Smith role? The whole edgy-crazy-tough assassin guy?
Face Twit Rav Gram
No.
Not at all.
no its the whole 'middle class american who can do crazy assassin shit'... doing 'crazy' (read awesome) shit is not necissarily being crazy.
If you say so.
Besides, if you're really getting annoyed by this... yeah.
