[Movies] Confess your movie sins to me, and be absolved

[SeraRelm]

Charlie, you must see Raising Arizona. It's Nicholas Cage at his best.

 

[Hailey Knight]

Quotemander Prime - Nothing but love Esc, but Kubrick films are a dear part of my black little soul. I also dislike the opinion of SeraRelm everytime she disses a QT movie.

No problems, Shego.

Although I did forget that The Shining was a Kubrick film. I like that one--and loathe the TV remake from the 90s.

 

[Shegokigo]

That TV remake... everyone involved in the production should have been slaughtered with an axe by Jack Nick

 

[fade]

I wanna say spoilers, except you messed up names, so that's not the case.

A name. And the movie is like 400 years old. It's past the spoil-by date.

Even Stephen King, who wrote the script?

 

[LittleSin]

Even Stephen King, who wrote the script?

ESPECIALLY Stephen King.

 

[SeraRelm]

Especially Stephen King. I should have driven back to make sure...

 

[SeraRelm]

Lol, I'm on my phone so i can't offer you a hug, LittleSin .

 

[Hailey Knight]

ESPECIALLY Stephen King.

Stephen King should have nothing to do with the film versions of his stories, because I don't think he understands visual medium, but he's still written worthwhile stuff since his peak days. Cell is fucking awesome. I think it's the first book to ever give me a nightmare. I really want to read his time travel one even though I can never remember the name.

But this is not a book thread so I'll shut up!

Best example... His first original screenplay was Sleepwalkers.

If you haven't seen it, count yourself lucky.

Werecats... seriously....

 

[SeraRelm]

Incestuous werecats!

 

[MindDetective]

I am a slobbering Coens fanboy, but I haven't seen Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, or The Man Who Wasn't There.

I really liked Miller's Crossing a lot the first time I watched it. It really doesn't get the appreciation it deserves because it is overshadowed by so many other great Coen's Brothers films. I'm not sure it held up too well, but it is still a favorite I have of theirs.

 

[Hailey Knight]

Incestuous werecats!

 

[Bowielee]

Incestuous werecats!

Incestuous werecats killing cops with pencils.

NOT KIDDING...

 

[LittleSin]

That cop looks mildly annoyed.

 

[Chad Sexington]

Barton Fink

See this!

The Man Who Wasn't There.

It's kind of cool how they limited themselves to styles of lighting/shots that were only used during that era of film... But otherwise I found this suuuuuuper underwhelming.

 

[SeraRelm]

I didn't watch The Man From Earth until last year. If anyone has missed THAT one, you're only hurting yourself.

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

I paid to see Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, then snuck in to see Angelina Jolie's tatas in Original Sin.

I felt dirty after that trip, just for everything.

 

[Shegokigo]

Haven't seen it.

 

[SeraRelm]

I have never seen the kilmer or clooney batman movies. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, I feel survivors guilt over it.

Shegokigo , it's fantastic. Amazing writing, good acting, great plot.

Eh....

It was okay. I reviewed it in the "last movie" thread a while back. I give them credit for pulling off a movie with NOTHING but talking heads without putting me to sleep. I wish they would've left it more ambiguous at the end. The whole

heart attack

thing felt a little forced.

 

[SeraRelm]

Yeah, had the ending been

Spoiler

left "unknown"

it would have boosted it into the "one of my favorite movies" zone. I still qualify it as a must see, though.

 

[SpecialKO]

Never seen Office Space.

Paid for Titanic, didn't even have the pretense of taking a girl on a date to it, I was just curious about all the hype.

 

[Bowielee]

Office Space is definitely a must see.

If you do like it, I'd also recommend Idiocracy if you haven't seen that either.

Those two movies prove just how pranked we all were by Mike Judge by Beavis and Butt-head.

Office Space is one I haven't seen since high school, and I really want to watch it again. I had this friend in high school who would spend the entire movie trying to "sell" the movie to me--pointing out all the parts that were clever or funny, and why. It always made for a really crappy viewing experience, and he simply would not be shut down. So I'd love to see it without commentary.

I have a friend like that. I try to avoid watching movies with him at all costs, especially ones he's seen. Blech.

Back on topic: I've never seen Casablanca. Or Citizen Kane. Or No Country for Old Men.

I HATE people like this.

 

[SeraRelm]

Watch No Country right now.

 

[Cajungal]

Yeah. More than that, I hate that I become contrary about movies and things when these pushy people start talking. It's just really hard to judge something for yourself with a fanboy/girl buzzing in your ear.

 

[Sparhawk]

I haven't seen Godfather or Godfather part 2, not going to. I really just don't like mob movies.

 

[Bowielee]

I hate westerns, but I still loved the Searchers and Unforgiven. I try not to disclude movies simply by genre.

 

[Sparhawk]

Seeing parts of both those movies are what made me not like mob movies.

 

[Bowielee]

Was it the horse head? I bet it was the horse head.

Mike Judge, Pre- Beavis and Butthead:

MTV, Liquid Television. LOVED IT.

It was also on the same show that he introduced Beavis and Butt-head. That's pre Beavis and Butt-head by maybe a few episodes of the show.
