PitchforkArms: Some Unpopular Film Opinions

Mort. 05.25.14	"Inception, it's ight. Simply it was never my cup of tea as far as huge blockbusters go" thats not that much of an unpopular opinion. a lot of people didnt like inception
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	Really? Man, i find it hard to find people who don't adore that movie
Mort. 05.25.14	"Really? Man, i find it hard to find people who don't adore that movie" strange. all my friends as well as me hate it. maybe my group is an anomaly.
ArsMoriendi 05.25.14	2 is an understandable opinion, but I disagree. "if you really think you "get" his movies, you probably wear a fedora..." Nah, they're just cool concepts. It's not like his fans think they're superior for liking it. Well they probably do, but not me. Don't blame a good director for having a sucky fan base.
Kalopsia 05.25.14	yeah, just like you don't blame Tool for having a shitty fan base
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	I feel y'all ^
HenchmanOfSanta 05.25.14	I agree about Inception and I've heard the Scarface criticism a lot. As far as Von Trier, I have no interest in him, but I do really like Dancer in the Dark.
Athom 05.25.14	I love Kubrik but I hate A Clockwork Orange so I get ya
Athom 05.25.14	Also cool on you for liking Comrades. I played a show with them last year and they're awesome.
YoYoMancuso 05.25.14	Brando is better in Apocalypse Now and On The Waterfront My one that I get hate for is that I reaaallly dislike Fight Club
ArsMoriendi 05.25.14	"I love Kubrik but I hate A Clockwork Orange so I get ya" Book was great, movie wasn't a great representation of it.
SharkTooth 05.25.14	One thing I never understood about 3: the fact that people didn't understand it
RoyalImperialGuard 05.25.14	Paths of Glory...that is all.
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	@Athom, yeah someone on here showed me them and I reealllyy dig it. @YoYo, oh damn, i love fight club, but lots of people hate it! but i think a lot of people say they hate it just to be contrarian, i hope you aren't one of them bruh
SharkTooth 05.25.14	uncommon opinion: Full Metal Jacket is my fave Kubrick movie
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	@SharkTooth - I KNOW! @Royal - Probs my favorite Kubrick
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	@SharkTooth - Yeah it's my second favorite Kubrick
SharkTooth 05.25.14	@P-Arms I mean Inception has an entire scene explaining the whole concept and people were STILL confused, how?
ChoccyPhilly 05.25.14	My one would be all superhero movies in the last 4 years suck
Mort. 05.25.14	"My one would be all superhero movies in the last 4 years suck" i get hate from my friends because i thought the avengers was crap. i dont get what people see in that film.
ResidentNihilist 05.25.14	pretty much sums up 5 http://www.feralnetwork.com/2013/09/30/picture-fedora-lover/
SharkTooth 05.25.14	@ChoccyPhilly I agree 99%(The Avengers was the only one I really liked in that time frame)
SharkTooth 05.25.14	"i get hate from my friends because i thought the avengers was crap. i dont get what people see in that film." It's just a great popcorn flick for comic-book nerds, that's it really
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	yeah avengers is aight. I don't go crazy over superhero movies. They're usually just something (usually) mindless to have fun watching
GuanoBumbershoot 05.25.14	5's description is a knee slapper. What did you think of Brando in Apocalypse Meow?
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	He is wayyy better in Apocalypse Now.
ChoccyPhilly 05.25.14	They're all kind of the same cliche'd story line with different back stories that we know how they end up. A couple of exceptions are Watchmen and The Dark knight, but that's it really
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	@ChoccyPhilly, and even at that, The Dark Knight is about a superhero, but it is approached in a completely different way
Havey 05.25.14	"He doesn't write original screenplays" how is this in any way relevant to him being overrated as a DIRECTOR
Skull917 05.25.14	You can't say Kubrick is the best, because there's no absolute objectivity in art. Kubrick is considered one of the best and that's not being overrated. There are many others that are considered equal to him in terms of filmmaking. It's not like popular music where everyone says Beatles where in fact they've made 2 decent albums. Name comes a long way in art but sometimes it's deserving. But idolising people is still stupid.
hikingmetalpunk 05.25.14	kubrick's the greatest for a reason. brando was excellent in godfather but his best performance was obvs "on the waterfront".
NorthernSkylark 05.25.14	I don't think I'll ever really "get" LVT's movies - that's exactly why I like them so much. Melancholia is my favourite, but Antichrist is a close second. Often directors don't want any mystery, they wanna explain everything so as not to worry about the upcoming Q&A (as you might know he doesn't attend these anymore). Unfortunately I haven't watched Nymphomaniac yet, but the trailers I've seen were spectacular. But I can see why people would find his use of symbolics redundant, though I don't see it that way at all.

GuanoBumbershoot 05.25.14	"how is this in any way relevant to him being overrated as a DIRECTOR" Great point. He's considered one of the best because of the way he shot and adapted his movies, not his writing.
YoYoMancuso 05.25.14	All of Kubrick's screenplays are pretty much original because he doesn't follow the original stories like, at all @PitchforkArms: Fight Club isn't horrible but Edward Norton has starred in a movie with the exact same twist (Primal Fear), the editing is nauseating and the rest of it just bothers me for some odd reason
ArsMoriendi 05.25.14	Edward Norton was better in American History-X anyway, but I do like Fight Club.
Evreaia 05.25.14	Von trier is pretty dope bro. I can agree on scarface perhaps
PitchforkArms 05.25.14	Ed Norton is one of my absolute favorite actors and I think he is criminally under appreciated.
SharkTooth 05.25.14	never liked fight club tbh
TalonsOfFire 05.25.14	Saw fight club for the first time a few weeks ago after having seen almost every other movie by Fincher and loved it, not as good as se7en though
jtswope 05.25.14	"He doesn't write original screenplays and nearly every one of his most famous movies have disappointed me in some relatively large way." Most directors don't write original screenplays anyway. And most screenplays these days are adapted. Disagree hard with you calling Kubrick overrated, but I respect your opinion.
SharkTooth 05.25.14	"He doesn't write original screenplays" Yeah, I don't get how that makes a director overrated
Calc 05.25.14	"Inception, it's ight. Simply it was never my cup of tea as far as huge blockbusters go" thats not that much of an unpopular opinion." I love that movie but this...
TheGreatQ 05.25.14	Kubrick is in a place beyond overrated.
SharkTooth 05.25.14	more like 'overworshiped'
YoYoMancuso 05.25.14	Se7en is by far Fincher's best agreed, Zodiac is the only one that comes close to it
GuanoBumbershoot 05.25.14	I'm on of those jackasses who has watched Kubrick movies countless times, and have nothing but borderline homo admiration for his use of technique and most of everything he does. That's lead me to finding things I find flawed, but I just can't get behind calling the man overrated. Fuck it.
TheGreatQ 05.25.14	Zodiac is one of my favourite movies, but I haven't seen Se7en yet sadly.
ncguitar 05.25.14	what's wrong with his 5s? don't dig all of them but they're fine imo also Frames m/ m/ m/ mm//
SharkTooth 05.25.14	it's sputnik tradition to list someone's 5s for no reason

YoYoMancuso 05.25.14	I'm the same way Guano. The Shining and 2001 are both in my top 5 favorites
ExcentrifugalForz 05.25.14	unpopular film opinion Godzilla was cool but shoulda had more smashing
intotheshit 05.25.14	Anyone who says Kubrick is overrated needs to be shot in the face. And The Godfather isn't widely known as Brando's best. Most iconic? Yes. His best? Not even close. That belongs to On the Waterfront.
SharkTooth 05.25.14	@ExcentrifugalForz you missed a pun "Godzilla was cool but it could have been a SMASHING movie"
intotheshit 05.25.14	Gabourey Sidibe would have made a great Godzilla.
Yotimi 05.25.14	I would have loved to see someone sit down with Kubric and tell him why he's not a great director.
TalonsOfFire 05.25.14	Godzillas a good guy though he always fights the monsters who're doing the smashing
AmericanFlagAsh 05.25.14	Did I inspire making this list? :P
titanslayer 05.25.14	I loved inception the first few times I saw it, but then I started to notice some really obvious plot holes that ruined the movie for me
TalonsOfFire 05.25.14	It's just a well made action movie with a neat twist why do people have to over analyze it and go up their own asses over it
titanslayer 05.25.14	I don't mind if a movie has a plot hole here and there, or a few scenes that don't make sense as long as the rest of the movie is really good. But inception is just full of plot holes, and half the movie breaks the "rules" that they made at the beginning of the movie
TalonsOfFire 05.25.14	What rules were those? I saw the movie 7 times and as far as I can tell it mostly makes everything up as it goes along
titanslayer 05.25.14	The rules about getting "kicked" and even though it didn't break a rule limbo was really stupid. At the beginning of the movie they say that you have to fall (or get wet) in the level above the one you are in to wake up from that level of the dream. In the snow fortress area they kick themselves out of the dream by falling on the level they are in (or die if you aren't really really sedated). Not the level above (the hotel) And when the van crashes shouldn't Arthur get woken up from the hotel part of the dream? Also they needed to stay alive because getting killed would send them to limbo, but so what if they go to limbo? All you have to do to get out of limbo is die again so is it really a big deal if you go to limbo? And the biggest problem in the movie is the ending. At the end they are all in the city level of the dream, but they are going to be stuck on that level for several weeks of dream time while the Fischer's subconscious tries to kill them over and over. How is that a good ending? There's plenty of other things wrong with the movie but I really don't know if I want to go into it.
TalonsOfFire 05.25.14	So they establish some vague rules in the beginning and basically discount them and make everything up as they go along, but it doesn't really matter because the main emotional thrust of it is Leo's character accepting his wife's death from his dream world shenanigans and not blaming himself for it anymore, the rest doesn't really matter
Satellite 05.25.14	chris nolan is a pretty dogshit filmmaker apart from using cool visuals. prove me wrong.
SharkTooth 05.25.14	Why should I?
Satellite 05.25.14	that was aimed at some of the smarter users itt. don't imagine you're up for the challenge but thanks for replying!
titanslayer 05.25.14	I guess it just bothers me when a movie sets up rules for how it's universe works and then breaks them. I will admit that inception has some really clever scenes in it and it was rather a pretty unique movie
titanslayer 05.25.14	"chris nolan is a pretty dogshit filmmaker apart from using cool visuals. prove me wrong." memento
TalonsOfFire 05.25.14	The prestige too
Satellite 05.25.14	ellen page's stupid character exists solely to ask the stupid questions the stupid audience is too stupid to figure out on their own
Satellite 05.25.14	memento is alright
titanslayer 05.25.14	sooo, am I the only one that doesn't like the dark knight?
intotheshit 05.25.14	The only Nolan films worth giving a second glance are Memento, The Prestige(mediocre direction covered up by fantastic peformances),and The Dark Knight, the lash of which is only worth a shit during to Heath Ledger's astounding performance.
YoYoMancuso 05.25.14	Memento is fantastic, as are Insomnia and The Prestige. His character-driven films are his best.
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	yep nolan isn't great but he is a part of some very good flicks. love memento and prestige to death
someguest 05.26.14	"strange. all my friends as well as me hate it. maybe my group is an anomaly." idiots do flock to one another
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	and speaking of movies that have physical rules that are set up....Gravity, like the scene where clooney floats away from bullock, is physically impossible. shit pissed me off, because they we're relatively tedious when it came to making sure the physics were done properly, but at the most important point in the whole film, they defy them, quite noticeably i may add
YoYoMancuso 05.26.14	Just watched Alien this afternoon. Still holds up after 35 years
someguest 05.26.14	"and speaking of movies that have physical rules that are set up....Gravity, like the scene where clooney floats away from bullock, is physically impossible. shit pissed me off, because they we're relatively tedious when it came to making sure the physics were done properly, but at the most important point in the whole film, they defy them, quite noticeably i may add" how many times did you adjust your glasses typing this out
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	being totally honest, I'm nearly asleep, you get my point bruv
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	@YoYo alien is great.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	*"Some Objectively Incorrect Film Opinions" fixed for you
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	mostly 2 and 5 you can fuck right off so hard especially 5 "but carry really badly written symbolism and really aren't much more than shock-value and if you really think you "get" his movies, you probably wear a fedora..." i will fuck you up
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	Oh yeah, and i'm working at a movie theatre for the summer and every now and then we will show a movie from India (we make a lot of $$ off of it), and this week we have this one that was described to me as having "awesome animation like avatar", and i looked in the theatre..... looked like a really shitty cut scene from a playstation1 game or something. Shit was hysterical, and all the people in that theatre got so into it, ahahaha
YoYoMancuso 05.26.14	Awesome Pots like Kubrick movies. never seen a Von Trier film, someone told me his movies reminded them of Kids
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	Pots dude I'm sorry. i don't dislike kubrick at all, i actually like him a bit, i just feel like he is credited too much. and i think von trier sucks big time, melancholia changed that slightly
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"someone told me his movies reminded them of Kids" not at all but they are both in my top 10 fav directors so thats ok
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"and i think von trier sucks big time, melancholia changed that slightly" yeah but you're wrong, big time. what movies have you seen from him.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"i don't dislike kubrick at all, i actually like him a bit, i just feel like he is credited too much." clockwork orange, 2001 space odyssey and full metal jacket alone make this sentence fart in its own face and those are just the tip of the iceberg
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	dancer, antichrist, nympho1&2, melancholia
YoYoMancuso 05.26.14	2001 changed filmmaking forever and that's at least worth something, even though The Shining is my favorite Kubrick and second-favorite movie Denis Villenueve is quickly becoming my new favorite director after watching his new film Enemy as well as Chris Stuckmann's analysis of it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	you haven't even seen the dogville trilogy smh lars is too deep for u sorry yeah saying stanley gets too much credit even if you personally dont like him is like saying the beatles aren't influential
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	BET U DONT LIKE Nicolas Winding Refn EITHER U PLEB
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	City of God may be my favorite ever, so dope. And then maybe The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
treeqt. 05.26.14	what's the point of western cinema though tbh it's like a many pictures and none of them have cute asian girls in them so why bother
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	im so upset right now
YoYoMancuso 05.26.14	One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is by far my favorite film. It's beyond perfect.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"City of God may be my favorite ever" and you're calling von trier fans hipsters !@@!@@!@@$41nJF;AHJBKLBHbhlalhb
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	as far as Refn goes, drive was fantastic, bronson was ight, only god forgives was cool i guess but i thought it was pretty bleh. another one of those "i like this because I'm so much more deep than you" films that actually isn't anything special
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	best movies ever are Tekkonkinkreet and True Romance, fact
treeqt. 05.26.14	great thread 8^{()
YoYoMancuso 05.26.14	never even heard of the first one
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	@YoYo yeah man One Flew is perfect @Pots - whats hipster about city of god? lol that shit is huge
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	true romance gets me hard
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	ok im making a scene just for the sake of it but i have a legitimate criticism you should avoid saying shit like ""i like this because I'm so much more deep than you" films that actually isn't anything special" "but carry really badly written symbolism and really aren't much more than shock-value and if you really think you "get" his movies, you probably wear a fedora..." its completely fucking asinine. if its not for you its not for you but just because the symbolism doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean people who do enjoy their work are full of shit and just trying to be 'deep'. Refn is one of my favourite directors and i've watched every single one of his movies and in Only God Forgives he finally resolves an ongoing symbol that occurs in every single one of his films that has always meant a lot to me and it literally brought me to tears so fuck you i resent that
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"whats hipster about city of god? lol that shit is huge" people seem to have a big misconception about what hipster means. besides lars von trier is huge too.(dogville)
YoYoMancuso 05.26.14	can't tell if you're being facetious with the crying part
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	i wept
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	hahahahah sorry bro bro. Drive is def my fav of his. I just thought Only God Forgives was bland at times. "wanna fight?" was pretty awesome
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	i weep at movies that move me cant help it
demigod! 05.26.14	toy story 3 was the only movie that made me legitimately cry as an adult, lol... that said i don't watch many films at all. I'd like to change that though. so many "essentials" i still gotta peep
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	oh yeah, another unpopular opinion.... Steve McQueen's best is Pappillon in my eyes, love that movie
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"hahahahah sorry bro bro. Drive is def my fav of his. I just thought Only God Forgives was bland at times. "wanna fight?" was pretty awesome" its ok just be careful about statements like the ones i listed because some of those films really do have symbolism you can go really far into and is really appealing to certain people i mean valhalla rising for instance for some people its long and boring and there is nothing but some violence and cool cinematography but for others its one of those movies where you learn something new every time you watch it that makes it more and more brilliant
YoYoMancuso 05.26.14	The only movie that's ever made me cry is Toy Story 3
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	i water up at like all good movies ever i just get overwhlemed with an ocean of emocean i love movies
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	non black-box movies that is, as u can tell by my love of von trier, refn and kubrick im more of a white-box kinda guy which is not for every one
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	I wept during The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	hipster
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	just kidding I'm just still butthurt at you

PitchforkArms 05.26.14	i know potsyyyy be my friend again i miss u
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	Netherlands, what does that even mean..... my pic is amazing suck it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	ok im over it now
treeqt. 05.26.14	you don't greentext the image man how's that even supposed to work
demigod! 05.26.14	so whats the black-white box thing about ?
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	still confused as to why a link to my picture got posted.....
demigod! 05.26.14	cuz ppl are dumb
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	blackbox films=blockbuster movie theater popcorn flicks. blackbox as in dark theater center. usually refers to films that cater to weekend casual audiences who go to movies for some laughs or some thrills and harmless entertainment. ie avengers, inception, all that jazz whitebox=gallery setting. films that cater more to involved niche audiences who are looking for something more challenging and interpretive
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	you right you right
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	pots did you see Locke?
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	I cried at the last samurai
demigod! 05.26.14	ah so art vs. entertainment, i dig i guess im more of a whitebox guy but i can certainly dig a good action blockbuster flick, loved the hell outta avengers
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	no i didnt also speaking of un popular film opinions i fucking HAAAATE hurt locker
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"i guess im more of a whitebox guy but i can certainly dig a good action blockbuster flick, loved the hell outta avengers" me too i can get down with mindless action but yeah most of my fav directors are the artsty fartsy fuckers that make people feel uncomfortable and or bored
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	hurt locker was a stupid best picture choice... didn't hate it but it wasn't special at all for me. You might like Locke quite a bit, do you know the premise?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	another unpopular film opinion i think joss whedon is a fucking hack and it makes me laugh when people hype him for being an amazing director he's literally directed one film that was anything to write home about
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	Hurt locker was indeed a turd. After watching it three times just to make sure I can get behind that sentiment potsy
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"You might like Locke quite a bit, do you know the premise?" nope ive never even heard of it, i havent been up to date on movies since 2012 haha
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	do people actually care about him???
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	dude people swear by joss whedon
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	Its Tom Hardy in all of his english glory, and it takes place 100% in his car. pretty cool flick for sure. really tugs at the heartstrings at times
Ire 05.26.14	im watching the avengers im faded this is gr8 postee
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	lol, he's pretty much a nobody to me. i never care about directors of those types of movies
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	i love hardy speaking of which cant believe you dont like bronson that movie is brilliant
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	hardy's best by far
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	also i have to ask what are your thoughts on david lynch, larry clark, and harmony korine
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	it was ight. hyped a little much for me by a friend. ummm... seriously look into Locke you may love it. He is fantastic
Ire 05.26.14	smd poTsy
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	ok i will
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	i would but you dont have one ire
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	*irene
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	lynch has some good ones have only seen one of clark's, twas decent as well and haven't seen much of korine, but who the fuck names their boy harmony
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	damn what clark movie also anyone who watched spring breakers without ever seeing a korine movie before deserves a fucking punch in the dick
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	and lemme know if you end up watching Locke man id like to know what you thought
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	Kids
demigod! 05.26.14	idk if i could pick a fav director (like i said im a massive movie pleb) but i really like stuff by stan kubrick, wes anderson and the coen bros. oh and re: the list title... I think Nolan's films in general range from pretty good to downright boring and shitty. don't get why people suck his dick constantly. same with Tarantino except I do love a few of his movies.
Ire 05.26.14	you already said u would bish
demigod! 05.26.14	re: joss whedon: most of his stuff is annoying ironic fedora humour garbage but for some reason avengers captured the essence of comics perfectly for me, the script i thought was particularly well done
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	avengers was fun i do love tarantino... always have
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	tarantino and nolan are brilliant for blackbox directors put them in a whitebox and they look like chumps thats all i have to say for those two @pitchfork one of my favourite movies ever. you should check out bully.
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	i think nolans two really great ones are memento and prestige, everything else is what you said demi
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"but for some reason avengers captured the essence of comics perfectly for me, the script i thought was particularly well done" nah. avengers was great mindless and completely shallow entertainment. which is all it needed to be, so thats why it succeeded. but i prefer comic films with a bit of depth, something the new x-men movie killed it at holy fuck best marvel movie easy
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	will do. oh and yeah I love Joseph Gordon Levitt to death...the man makes me feel big-time. and hey man i feel like tarantino has way more crossover into white-box than people give him credit for. maybe not for depth and symbolism, but at least for the heavy stylization. if you toss in wes anderson, then i think tarantino deserves a spot in there as well
demigod! 05.26.14	"tarantino and nolan are brilliant for blackbox directors put them in a whitebox and they look like chumps" i can get behind this re: memento... idk man. i've tried that movie time and time again and it bored the shit out of me. my favourite Nolan film was actually Dark Knight Rises, believe it or not... but it's still not a masterpiece seeing new X-Men this weekend so fuckin stoked!! Didn't see the last one though, should I?
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	Pots-was it that good? working at the theatre means free movies so hell yeah Sin City fucking rocks probs fav comic movie
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	C'mon guys we all know Hellboy is the best comic book movie
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"and hey man i feel like tarantino has way more crossover into white-box than people give him credit for. maybe not for depth and symbolism, but at least for the heavy stylization. if you toss in wes anderson, then i think tarantino deserves a spot in there as well" tarantino is borderline. some of his films definitely far less than others ehem kill bill wes anderson is a brilliant fuck
demigod! 05.26.14	tarantinos recent films have been pretty shallow imo, they're fun and enjoyable but i dont think theyre all that symbolic or deep... still, cream of the blackbox crop, i guess
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	Don't need to watch first class, future past fills you in pretty quickly 'Twas indeed the best marvel film
demigod! 05.26.14	yeah anderson is so good, Rushmore and Royal Tenenbaums are two of the greatest movies I've ever seen
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	dark knight rises was great @demi if you are talking about first class then yeah u need to see that first but if you are talking about the wolverine then no u dont really need to see it beforehand @pitchfork yes it blew all of the other x-men movies out of the water while simultaneously redeeming even the shittest of the ehem origins and last stand. They really pulled everything together in the perfect way and made the entire franchise worth it. cant wait for the next one though holy fuck, apocalypse is my favourite villain of all time
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	weel obviously kill bill is just mindless violence but its just so fun. but Pulp and Reservoir are phenomenal, and being truly honest i can watch Inglorious over and over. Django was very well written as well
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	and as far as anderson goes... EVERYONE FORGETS ABOUT FANTASTIC MR FOX OMG I WOULD DIE FOR THAT MOVIE IT MAKES ME COMPLETE
demigod! 05.26.14	didn't get the django or inglorious hype really, thought kill bill was more entertaining and had a more engaging storyline. the latter 2 i felt just dragged on for so much longer than necessary but yeah resevoir dogs and pulp fiction are classic
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	kill bill 1 and 2 are both like my least favourite of his easy inglorious was amazing still havent seen django
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	fantastic mr fox is incredible
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	he has such a knack for dialogue. and demi, damn man, i loved both. the bear jew gets me every time
demigod! 05.26.14	fack i still haven't seen mr. fox!
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	@pots- probs my fave animated movie ever (if that counts most people think of animated as cartoon)
demigod! 05.26.14	i feel like people often forget Rushmore too. it's so fucking funny I'll have to rewatch Inglorious but i couldn't get into it a few years ago
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	best dialogue in film of all time: dennis hopper vs christopher walken in true romance
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	and as far as x-men goes, I'm so happy for bryan singer..... i love the usual suspects so dang much so I'm happy he's got another amazing one
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	@pitchfork watch tekkonkinkreet it is animated and it is my favourite movie of all time just edging out true romance
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	@pots- YES. one of my favorite segments of dialogue of all time
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	will do man will do
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	swag
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	kush
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	another thing about the new x-men movie is that it finally convinced me that jlaw is hot i never thought she was attractive at all until bryan singer convinced me shes a babe
avonbarksdale221 05.26.14	true romance is one of the coolest movies ever yeah agree hard with 1 and 3
demigod! 05.26.14	are there sentinels in the new x-men cuz i fucking love sentinels theyre just too rad
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	i always see true romance, natural born killers and wild at heart as a trilogy of sorts ultimate love stories
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	@demi there are future sentinels AND past sentinels
demigod! 05.26.14	oh man
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	god just go fucking watch it so we can talk about it already did u see the new spidey?
GuanoBumbershoot 05.26.14	"best dialogue in film of all time: dennis hopper vs christopher walken in true romance" Scene is gold. Would fall in my elite tier of Tarantino dialogue. "yes it blew all of the other x-men movies out of the water while simultaneously redeeming even the shittest of the ehem origins and last stand. They really pulled everything together in the perfect way and made the entire franchise worth it." I think I am now finally at the point where I couldn't be more psyched to see that fuckin' movie.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	hope it lives up to your expectations. cuz it blew mine out of the water. even the opening scene has some of the most stunning action sequences of any superhero movie ever
demigod! 05.26.14	heard new spidey was garbage so i didn't bother. haven't seen amazing spidey 1 either
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	also stay after the credits "heard new spidey was garbage so i didn't bother. haven't seen amazing spidey 1 either" you heard wrong, both amazing spidey 1 and 2 are redeeming raimis complete failure new x-men is better than new spidey tho
avonbarksdale221 05.26.14	hopper v walken sicilian scene is a masterclass wish QT had directed NBK, he would have done the film so much more justice than oliver stone
demigod! 05.26.14	interesting, i fuckin love spidey so i'll have to give them a shot. i quite liked raimi's spidey trilogy though (yes even the 3rd to a degree; have some major MAJOR qualms with it (venom...) but i thought it was enjoyable, if rather asinine) also, what'd you think of winter soldier?
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	Ugh I thought amazing spider man 2 was pretty bad. It had a lot of really forced dialogue, like they were trying to set up a one-liner every sentence, and it made it a little cringe-worthy. Winter soldier was good for what it was. Profusely bad-ass.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	nah oliver stone did natural born killers perfectly but its still my least fav of those 3 movies @demi i fucking HATE raimi's trilogy. oh my god. will be interesting to hear what you think of the new ones. they are more colorful and they do parkers personality much more justice imo. plus emma stone is like, so hot i cant even handle. and the villain choices have been better (fucking lol sandman holy fuck of all the villains oh my dear god) and there are so many references and set ups to the rest of spideys villains and universe that the inner fanboy cant do anything but prejac a little every 20 minutes didn't see winter soldier but to be honest, the first captain america movie changed my mind about capt. i used to think he was a fucking doucher but that movie was funny and fun and it made me give cap a second chance and now after reading comics with the avengers in them and such i find that he's actually one of the least retarded, neurotic, and ultimately more damaging to the planet than helpful of the group of asinine shitheads he associates with goddamn i think the best thing thats ever happened in comic books ever is watching rogue kick the shit out of multiple avengers by herself on multiple occasions.
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	To me, raimis spider man movies go from good, to not bad, to bad
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	raimis spider man movies for me go from the second worst superhero movie ive ever seen to the fourth worst to the fifth worst
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	i could be exaggerating a bit iron man 3 is the worst tho easy
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	Iron man 3 is cringe worthy, I never thought it would be so, dare I say it, faggy..
demigod! 05.26.14	yea, winter solider was super badass for what it was. plus I really liked Black Widow and Nick Fury's roles in the story, they seemed more fleshed out and less peripheral than their previous incarnations (esp Widow). It's a big step up from Cap 1 (which was good, but nothing remarkable) and well worth seeing if you like the character. only real gripe i had was who they chose to play the winter solider himself, he looked like some kind of final fantasy emo douche idk man, i got lots of nostalgia for that trilogy so i can dig it, but that aside i thought the first two were great (albeit flawed). I will admit that Tobey was a fucking horrible Spidey, and Kirsten Dunst was a terrible Mary-Jane but pretty much everything else in the first two films was done pretty well, especially the casting for the villains. "goddamn i think the best thing thats ever happened in comic books ever is watching rogue kick the shit out of multiple avengers by herself on multiple occasions." damn i need to see this... Rogue's one of my favourite X-Men, and superheroes in general. such a badass character. and yea X-Men >>> Avengers, but i still like both
demigod! 05.26.14	i didn't think they could fuck up iron man that hard : / first 2 were great. haven't seen 3 yet but idk if i can bring myself to...
PitchforkArms 05.26.14	I think Dunst is cute as fuck ;) And yeah the winter sdoer looked like a fairy fag without his mask
demigod! 05.26.14	dunst is okay but she's def not who i would cast as mary jane. just didnt feel like i was actually watching mary jane but rather some random chick who said "tiger" often and that peter wanted to bang
PunchforPunch 05.26.14	I'm in love with Wes Anderson
Clumseee 05.26.14	Scarface is absolute shit. Not worthy of its praise at all.
Rowan5215 05.26.14	I prefer Red Dragon to Silence of the Lambs
demigod! 05.26.14	silence of the lambs is a masterpiece, red dragon is just good
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	probably the biggest let down ever for me was once upon a time in america
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"Iron man 3 is cringe worthy, I never thought it would be so, dare I say it, faggy.." lol. also from a comic perspective... THEY FUCKED UP. HARD. and im not one to usually be all nit picky about artistic vision. i mean im a huge batman fan and i liked dark knight rises bane a tonne so that says something. but iron man 3. you. fucked. up. @demi yeah i wanted to see it in theaters it looks good. to be honest falcon is like, the cyborg of the avengers, some black guy they throw in for diversity even though the character himself really sucks. hopefully he'll be better on film incarnation. i didnt mind kirsten dunst as mj but only cuz i think shes really hot as for the x-men vs avengers thing, all my favourite marvel characters are mutants pretty much except for spiderman. and 90% of the best avengers are also x-men or ex x-men (wolverine, havok, rogue, sunfire, quicksilver, scarlet witch, beast etc etc etc). and all the best avengers are like b-list avengers like moonknight, spidey and vision. mutant pride forever!!!!!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	"i didn't think they could fuck up iron man that hard : / first 2 were great. haven't seen 3 yet but idk if i can bring myself to..." dont do it. its worse than even daredevil and green lantern.... and spiderman 3
Rowan5215 05.26.14	@demi Idk dude, they're both masterpieces. I love Silence but Red Dragon is more interesting in terms of plot, acting, character to me any day
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	x-men indeed are the best characters overall. and I actually enjoyed the last wolverine movie, but origins is right up there with spider-man 3
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	yeah the wolverine was decent, i wanna fuck viper but yeah origins is pretty low on the marvel movie list
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	viper was hot but her supervillain outfit was so terrible
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	then again I just used supervillain outfit in a completely serious context so idk which is worse
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.26.14	dude. her supervillain costume was spot on; http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/Viper%20Madame%20Hydra%20Marvel%20Comics%20collectable%20figure.jpg
deathschool 05.26.14	Well, I agree with 1.
ZombicidalMan 05.26.14	I think it just ended up looking kind if flimsy, not like the cool combat leather of the comics. I guess the design was good but the material was bad? Idk who cares Future Past nailed all the costumes pretty well, awesome sentinels in both future and past forms. Even though Raimi Spider-Man was bad it did the costumes justice imo. And I still think Hellboy has some of the best makeup and outfits from any superhero films
Deviant. 05.26.14	"At the beginning of the movie they say that you have to fall (or get wet) in the level above the one you are in to wake up from that level of the dream. In the snow fortress area they kick themselves out of the dream by falling on the level they are in (or die if you aren't really really sedated). Not the level above (the hotel)" The snow fortress was the last level of created dream space. And they kick themselves in both the hotel and bridge sequence as well
TalonsOfFire 05.26.14	Yeah if I remember correctly they leave one person behind in each level to kick them awake at the same time so that they all wake up on the plane within seconds at the end
YoYoMancuso 05.26.14	"best dialogue in film of all time: dennis hopper vs christopher walken in true romance" or any scene from Chinatown. To each his own tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.27.14	"I think it just ended up looking kind if flimsy, not like the cool combat leather of the comics. I guess the design was good but the material was bad? Idk who cares" i dunno it made me want to fuck so thats pretty good "Future Past nailed all the costumes pretty well" x-men movies are not known for doing the characters costumes justice (or at all) but yeah the future x-men in the new movies looked dope as fuck as far as it goes. "Even though Raimi Spider-Man was bad it did the costumes justice imo." hell no, the green goblin costume was terrible and spidermans costume looked retarded. venom looked decent i guess and dococ was ok. they did sandman justice with the striped shirt but i mean who cares cuz sandman is pretty much the worst spiderman villain there is
