Your movie confessions - General

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;35691161]With that logic are you saying that The Phantom Menace is better than The Empire Strikes Back? I'm all for differing opinions, but that's pretty damn rare that you find someone who thinks like that.[/QUOTE] I mean for the original trilogy. 4>5>6

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;35701746]Not really much of a confession, then. There's a lot of people who think that A New Hope is better than Empire Strikes Back, myself included. It's not better by much, but I still think of it as more of a classic movie.[/QUOTE] I'd rank them by how exiting they are. A New Hope was super interesting, I slipped in and out of Empire Strikes Back, BUT HOLY FUCK RETURN OF THE JEDI WAS SO FUCKING BORING.

I didn't realize Mike Myers also played Doctor Evil in Austin Powers til i watched the trilogy again the other day.

i think the uprising scene from [I]children of men[/I] shot in one take is the single most beautiful thing that has been composed in modern cinema, and cannot be topped or bested by anything. but i guess that applies to the entire movie

Kinda takes some of the magic away, doesn't it? Although it still gets me when he walks out of the building with the baby and the soldiers are awe-struck.

i'm pretty sure the car sequence was shot and edited, but the uprising one was legit

[QUOTE=Zeraxify;35702235]i'm pretty sure the car sequence was shot and edited, but the uprising one was legit[/QUOTE] Hm. Couldn't find anything that specifically contradicts this. I'm still kind of skeptical though, they needed multiple shots for the other less complex ones.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;35701885]Are you serious? Return of the Jedi was probably the most "actiony" of the original trilogy. I was never bored, but I [I]was[/I] a bit turned off by the fact that they needed to add the Ewoks. The only Star Wars movies that got boring for me were The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. So much political banter. Also, to contribute to this thread, I loved Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.[/QUOTE] I like plot more. That's why National Treasure 1 I liked better then 2. Also, my confession is, I like national treasure.

[QUOTE=Zeraxify;35702235]i'm pretty sure the car sequence was shot and edited, but the uprising one was legit[/QUOTE] I believe it's the other way around. Car sequence is one take and the uprising is several, as the camera is blocked a few times when it passes by some dark areas.

Bullet boy is boring and i need subtitles on when watching Sweet Sixteen

Clerks. makes me laugh still and I love Chasing Amy. So much shame.

I... I... I LIKE THE ROOM, OKAY? Tommy Wiseau is the voice of our generation.

I did not enjoy Star Wars Episode 4 at all, and I don't understand the huge cultural impact it is supposed to have had. I never watched another star wars after that one. I just don't get Dr. Strangelove. I did not understand Citizen Kane at all.

In my opinion, The Lost World: Jurassic Park is the best in the trilogy.

I enjoyed the fuck out of Ratatouille, I really liked it, i bought the DVD and honestly, i've played it back over 20 times now. And this movie, i really hated, it didnt have the same humor in the TV show [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a0/Simpsons_final_poster.png/220px-Simpsons_final_poster.png[/IMG] It was funny the first time, then it's repetitive

Ratatouille is one the best reviewed movie in the last decade. Liking it is very normal.

lord of the rings IS terrible. it has wooden acting with no emotion, boring fight scenes, a shitload of people just walking, and is all around coma inducingly terrible.

Bridge to Terabithia made me cry like a baby.

No movie has ever made me cry, but the closest one to making me cry is Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Not a movie, but the closest i've ever come to crying while watching something is the 'Hey Arnold' episode where he beats some guy up and it turns out he just wanted to know where the bus stop was.

I always cry at the scene in Star Trek XI (The one that came out in 2008 that made this alternate reality bullshit) when Kirk's father is about to die by ramming the USS Kelvin into the Narada while he's talking to his wife just after Kirk is born. Even just listening to the music nearly brings me to tears. [editline]25th April 2012[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luo3uijhM3w[/media] Right at 2:18. Just picture yourself faced with death. You're talking with the person you love the most for the very last time before you're enveloped in some massive explosion, and the last thing they hear you say is "Sweetheart, I love you. I love y-".

[QUOTE=Wingboy;35701862]I didn't realize Mike Myers also played Doctor Evil in Austin Powers til i watched the trilogy again the other day.[/QUOTE] oh my fucking god, i swear to god that i have never realized it until i saw your message now. [editline]..[/editline] and im serious [editline]..[/editline] my life isnt the same anymore

I bawled like a fucking baby when I saw The Road. And Inception, during the scene where the late Pete Postlethwaite's character [sp]was on his deathbed, telling his son that he was disappointed he tried to be like him, rather than pursue his own life aspirations[/sp],because I have a soft spot for emotional father/son scenes in movies. Also because in real life, Pete Postlethwaite was actually dying of pancreatic cancer at the time. [editline]25th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Simski;35708893]No movie has ever made me cry[/QUOTE] you're inhuman.

I didn't think Alien was a particularly great movie. I mean there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that nothing struck me as particularly fantastic. No spectacular acting, the action was good, but not great. The only thing I really liked was the atmosphere, and that was completely ruined in a couple of scenes. [QUOTE=Rusty100;35708349]lord of the rings IS terrible. it has wooden acting with no emotion, boring fight scenes, a shitload of people just walking, and is all around coma inducingly terrible.[/QUOTE] Do you like anything? I mean seriously, do you actually enjoy [I]anything?[/I]

i find it very funny when people ask me if i like anything because I am always posting about things I love but people ignore it and choose to focus on all the things I hate because they want a reason to get mad or something

but Rusty you don't like anything!!

[QUOTE=blooregardo;35709832] you're inhuman.[/QUOTE] If you don't count movies I watched when I was 3-5 years old I fall into the same category as Simski. And quite some more people, I'm sure.

Don't lose hope for Adam Sandler just because of Jack and Jill. Maybe he's redeem himself in That's My Boy. But [B]the days of Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore are over for sure.[/B] Watch out, Rusty doesn't like Adam Sandler.

I like to dream too.
