[QUOTE=Scot;35410779]In my opinion, they shouldn't. Why should I have to spend 6 hours of my life rewatching the same movie just to fully understand it?

I know it's worthless
same goes for music (to an extent)
after the 8th listen you should throw it out
[QUOTE=Scot;35410908]I don't see how you can enjoy watching something that you do not understand. I was just posting my opinion.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps you don't see the irony in things. It's mindbending, and the experience of the mind being bent feels good for me. :-)

How's that in any way like a movie. After about 4 or 5 listens you're able to fully digest the experiences in the music. Movies are a lot more about your appreciation in details.

[QUOTE=Bomimo;35409298]"2005 kong is shit becoz shit actingzorz, but 1933 kong is winzz!"
What? 1933 kong was absolutely beaten to a pulp and fed its own feces with the new film. It's a master-piece since it actually gives Kong a soul and the movie has an actual plot with an incentive beyond "Giant monkey takes girl" It's actually a developed relationship now and you actually feel sad when he's dying.
You got issues son.[/QUOTE]
I acknowledged the Kong with personality thing by lumping him in with the good acting quips.
You're a fucking moron.
Besides, my problems with the movie extend further than just the acting.
It had serious pacing issues.

Then watch it at 1.5 speed- GOD! Kids these days! Back when i was young, if a movie was too long, i sped it up! Why do you think that Vinyl Record players had different RPM settings?
Holy shitstain, how did I not think of that before?
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist - 6/10
It was enjoyable, some of the scenes drag on for way to long though.

[QUOTE=Al Bundy;35410775]The Green Mile. 10/10
Probably my favorite movie of all time. Made me cry. Forrest Gump is on My Favorite Movies of All Time list too.[/QUOTE]
I cried manly tears at The Green Mile.
Had the misfortune of watching Sand Sharks tonight. Dear oh dear...
I picked this up under the same train of thought as Rubber. My god, what was I thinking?
They both have incredibly silly subjects but where Rubber has a super silly premise and acts accordingly, Sand Sharks gets the first part done but completely flunks the second part. The premise is laughable, the CGI's a joke, the acting's horrendous and it's overall incredibly dumb. The only thing that's even remotely redeemable about this movie is the fact that there's some decent-looking women for eyecandy.
Oh, if only I had watched the trailer beforehand...

Inception 8/10
Very good film, It's sad many poeple pan this film saying it sucks because they didn't grasp the story. I might've watched it on DVD so I could rewind some dialogue but it sure wasn't that hard to follow

movies don't need to be an easy experience, sometimes they require effort from the viewer, in order to be a rewarding experience. sometimes you aren't ready to take in all a film has to offer, so you come back to it when you have learned more and are more open.
and talking about what a movie should and shouldn't do is just silly.
It's just what I enjoy, not what I think all movies should do.
Oddly enough I just watched Dragnet from 1987 with Dan Aykroyd Tom Hanks and I can see what they were going for but I give them a
6/10
welp. :/

Roadside Picnic or Stalker?

Roadside Picnic or Stalker?[/QUOTE]
i.. huh? never read roadside picnic but I've been looking for it
will watch the following:
I need more Sidney Lumet so:
The Verdict
Dog Day Afternoon
also
Come and See
City of God
Eight and a Half
Sunshine 7/10. Pretty good movie. I would give it a lower score if it weren't for the space suits and the soundtrack.
[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;35422631]Roadside Picnic or Stalker?[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure there is a Roadside Picnic movie. It's a good theme but the book itself is only ok, Stalker is pretty damn good.
fair enough, i hated stalker :v:
put me to sleep

If a movie does that, think of it as a movie that "relaxes" you to the upmost power. That's not a bad thing.
seriously if the film wasn't 3 hours long I would have liked it so much more
[B]The Adventures of Tintin[/B] - 6.5/10...
Eh, the CGI was pretty but I didn't like that they basically rebooted the series and had everyone not know eachother... despite showing all of the news clippings of past cases and the like.
The adventure element was also surprisingly lax.

There's no point in bite-sizing a movie to make it easier. What happened to Once Upon a Time in America, try that 5 hour mammoth.

It was slow paced but so what. I guess the biggest problem was you had to invest yourself into it a lot because the feel of it isn't obvious. For the most part it looks like they're just wandering around in the woods, easy to miss a lot of the tension and general story.
I still like it. The wife's monologue at the end is a bit retarded but otherwise it's good.

yeah I see what you mean
I watched it with a friend and we did exactly what you're saying
"wtf they're just wandering around in the countryside"
I dunno, I was expecting a couple anomalies and maybe a mutated wolf or two, it didn't have to be the whole movie but there wasn't anything that grabbed my attention
i'll try again one of these days

Once Upon et cetera is perhaps my favorite film. I love watching it every time.
I also saw the edited american version, as they were too scared of it's complex plot and breathtaking 3 hour 40 minute length...it was horrible.
In my opinion, long films, if they are genuinely [B]good[/B], then they grasp you better than the normal 90 minute good film.
Then again, they have to be [B]good[/B] 3 hours to grasp you, otherwise it's a massive suckfest (I'm looking at you [I]Avatar[/I])
iron sky 8.5/10
loved it
loved the [sp]finland joke, "hitler gets banned" reference, and the north-korea great leader thing :v [/sp]

yep that's the problem. embrace the dull stuff, all that stuff is exactly what makes it so beautiful. it's a really dreamy film. and definitely something to watch alone. very spiritual movie.
I didn't even realise it was three hours
