Wristcutters: A love story - 9/10. Great movie!
i give up, you're really just trying to troll at this point
Do the right thing. It's an okay movie on its own but I have hard time figuring out what the hell the message is considering this quote
[quote]Spike Lee has remarked that he himself has only ever been asked by white viewers whether Mookie did the right thing; black viewers do not ask the question.[12] Lee believes the key point is that Mookie was angry at the death of Radio Raheem, and that viewers who question the riot's justification are implicitly valuing white property over the life of a black man.[10][/quote]
1) Lee's acting in this scene has Mookie casually go find a trash can, casually walk over to the store, and rather casually shout hate. He didn't seem pissed off at fucking all
2) How is answering violence with violence "the right thing"? Argue all you want over if Sal deserved it / had a direct hand in causing Radio's death but the [B]only [/B]person in the [B]entire [/B]movie that did the right thing was Da Mayor. And even then he's apparently an alcoholic bum who can never get his act together.
Honestly fucking Pino and Buggin' Out are the scum of this movie. They go around seeing nothing but race wherever they go. The conversation that proves it is when Buggin' Out is talking to Mookie's sister, who we gather frequents the pizzeria. He asks if she sees anything wrong with that fame wall and she says no. It's a wall of people.

Also at what point is a reference to another film just a rip off? Raheem's love and hate things (including the story) are straight out of Night of the Hunter. Like maybe it would've been a nice touch for him to just wear them but he takes the entire explanation of them too.

then maybe you should stop barking about how much you didn't like it in a place where everyone loved it you're just screaming for attention

Song of my life.
I hope after I get my Computer Science and Engineering degree I can do something in film and maybe become a director someday.
Good luck!

Very charming, a bit too much of an "indie" vibe, great actor.

But you also gotta admit that the disparity between user ratings and critics ratings on IMDB is there for a reason.
It's there for the same reason we are nitpicking the movie so hard: It works great as a package and most people will like it like that but as soon as you look at i critical certain parts on their own they start falling apart.
Lookhow the lowest ratings (75) are saying essentially the same things as me and, to a degree, AK'z:
"The plot is occasionally murky, its archvillain lacks charismatic menace"
Essentially meaning "ok so Batmans body is broken, now he's back, now his body and mind are broken again, ok now he's back"
See how you can't attribute "Batman is broken" to a certain part of the movie as he is broken in the very beginning and in the middle? That's murky
"Character motivations shift on a dime, and if you understand even half of what's going on - not generally, but specifically - you'll be doing better than most." Again, jumping around here,
So to summarize the main complaint: While going for epicness they somehow lost the streamined experience that were the first two movies. Whether that is good or not is up to our taste.

Uhh, I nitpick the movie too. Since when have I not? Every time I watch a film, what jumps out at me usually are the flaws. Like I have flaw-a-vision. TDKR is not perfect. I can see it's faults - but not only are the faults totally different to what AK'z is saying, but they are also outweighed by what it does well - and in the end isn't that the entire point? To do more good than bad? Nothing is every going to be perfect, there's always gonna be stuff that could have been better. But what makes a movie good is what's good about it, overshadowing what was not as good. If a movie has more bad than good then it's bad, is what I'm trying to say. Even shitty movies can have a cool scene or a good element to it.
TDKR is flawed but still very excellent and if it's minor flaws prevent you from enjoying all the other things the movie does so fuckin well then you are probably really obnoxious and a stupid.
Or expecting too much. Cheers.
isn't an expectation entirely your own fault??? i was expecting drive to be an action movie about cars but it wasnt, TERRIBLE MOVIE!!!!
[QUOTE=Rusty100;38610279]isn't an expectation entirely your own fault??? i was expecting drive to be an action movie about cars but it wasnt, TERRIBLE MOVIE!!!![/QUOTE]
Cool down dude.
Why do you always exagerate. Was is that with you? I didn't say terrible. I didn't even say it was a bad movie. I said it was good and has it flaws. Is the "fine" difference between saying "it was a good movie but it has its flaws " and "it was a terrible movie because it was not as good as the first one" too much for you to comprehend or to discuss?
And of course an expectation is a result of what I've seen before. Is it too much to expect the next movie to be as good as the second? I think that's reasonable.
i'm employing hyperbole to point out your illogical viewpoint
[editline]27th November 2012[/editline]
ya dangle
Except "the movie is terrible" is and was not my point at all.
[quote] I didn't say terrible. I didn't even say it was a bad movie.[/quote]
I understand it's easier to attack a viewoint as extreme as "the movie is terrible" but I was not saying that.
do you take everything so literally? you not loving the movie makes a lot of sense really
[QUOTE=Rusty100;38611333]do you take everything so literally? you not loving the movie makes a lot of sense really[/QUOTE]
I'm trying not to interpret anything into the stuff I read like you did when you posted [quote]
I feel like you and AK'z are just missing some obvious subtext of the film and are looking at what's on the surface and just being like THATS DUMB when really it's not dumb at all and everything works and is explained. You just really want to hate it because you thought it was just a big spectacle and nothing more. But that is very much not the case.[/quote]
If that's your definition if "literally" then yes.
I could also ask you "do you ALWAYS exagerate so much" but then I'd be a suggestively aggressive and I'm trying not to.
I like the movie and I enjoyed it but the reactions in here as soon as someone says something alike "Bane just didn't cut it for me" (something that most critic agree on btw) are a bit comical and, yes, provoking.

I can see why you love that weirdo jewdozer so much
cause no one else here knows what it feels like to have their nose stuck so far up their own asshole 24/7
"wow those were some legitimate points I'm going to make a crack about how pretentious rusty is :~)))))))."
Let's stop the Meta-Discussion we all get angry and noone changes anything.
I rewatched Sunset Unlimited last night and I understand much more. Knowing the movie already I could really concentrate on what positioning, mimics, movement, gestures and background noises do, it adds a whole new layer of meaning to the dialogue, the prison story scene is genious and I really want to see it in a play in the theater now.
One of the best movies of the last 10 years for me 10/10
people can say what they want about me but at least i have reasons for things and back up what i think with stuff that makes sense

he recommended some good movies to me, you're just being a cunt for no other reason but to defend a mediocre film.
and jewdozer is misunderstood.
like alright dudes you didn't like the movie
you know we discuss other movies in here right
and that you don't have to bring up that you didn't like it ever time someone else rates it? give em a disagree that's what its for
you are definitely baiting at this point dude

The same goes the other way around you know.
I don't agree with the way, tone and form AK'z posts though, quick oneliners is something for fast threads.
Seeing Apocalypse Now in HD really intensified the experience for me.. dunno why.
The question now is, do I see Pulp Fiction in 1080p. :rolleyes:
-snip this argument isn't going anywhere fuck it-

apocalypse now redux blu-ray was the first time i watched it properly and one of the few things to have just blown me way. i was just like fuck. what a movie.
and um why wouldn't you watch any movie in 1080p given the option that is a stupid thing to consider try to change topics less obviously next time!!
do you guys eat when you watch movies? what do you eat? what couldn't you eat?
[QUOTE=Pal13;38611563]do you guys eat when you watch movies? what do you eat? what couldn't you eat?[/QUOTE]
Popcorn and/or some sour candy

try to avoid eating anything while seeing a film unless it's something I've seen a bunch of times, plenty of water though.
How's Argo?
[QUOTE=AK'z;38611718]try to avoid eating anything while seeing a film unless it's something I've seen a bunch of times, plenty of water though.[/QUOTE]
yeah, couldn't eat a full meal or whatever. attention overload. snacks are cool
argo's pretty decent, if mostly for the tension it brings in the last half.
everything else about it felt kind of dull
