Great Movies

Re: Great Movies

I am currently half way through Fight Club, and I must say, Cheez, it's awesome.
 
Re: Great Movies

Silent Night Deadly Night 2? It had horrible one liners but that is what made it so good.

Raptor Island was good.
Carnosaur wasn't bad.

Reign of Fire was flippin amazing!
 
Re: Great Movies

Blade Runner, Running Man, and Logan's Run are great sci-fi films that have 'Run' somewhere in the title.
 
Re: Great Movies

MUST SEE!!!

And another one:
Lawnmower Man - this is a movie about what happens if you play video games too much. (by Stephen King by the way)


Maximum Overdrive was directed by (and starred!) Stephen King!

Beat that!

Both are must see anyway... but
Lawnmower Man had a murderous monkey going berserk and trying to break out from a lab only to be blown to bits by a lucky guard who wasn`t killed by the ape previously...

Edit: I just realized I pitted a murderous monkey against killer machines. I stand defeated :lol:

Spirited Away, whilst relatively ok, is the weirdest film ever. No lie, it's ****ing weird. But it's not bad. But weird.

Read! What sort of blasphemy is this! Why read when you can watch! I'm joking, I'm not that conceted; I have thought about reading the book but I recently discovered my Science Fiction Omnius and I'm deep stuk in.

TBH, although when I first watched Avatar, I thought it was amazing, looking back now, it's actually quite ****. The visuals, sure, are brilliant, but looking at any crappy Michael Bay blockbuster you can see that that's not rare nowadays. I suppose there was a big thing about the 3d, which admittedly is awesome, but I prefer deeper films that make you think about stuff, and I'm afraid the plot in Avatar is thin and BLATANTY a rip-off of Dances with Wolves and Pochahontas, the characters are mediocre at best, and the one-liners are excrutiating. James Cameron, please take note of this and realise that when you inevitably make Avatar 2, one-liners are restricted to Captain Kirk ONLY.

Well, Stephen King is a hack.
So, there is nothing to beat.

Well, I'm pretty sure he dies. And I know that he gets told to repeatedly "**** off" or "Go **** yourself" by an ATM machine.

Stephen King really needs to learn to write. lol

He has great ideas, but he sucks at execution.

"The dog crossed the street."
"He picked it up after he dropped it."
"The phone rang."

Bland bland bland bland bland.
 
Re: Great Movies

I don't mind that style of writing in certain cases - if I feel like reading intellectually I turn to Dostoevsky, and whilst I like the Russian Romantics, I also enjoy slower paced books such as what Stephen King has to offer. I'd rather that than 'the cold, twisted branch protruded deeply into the solemn forest.' That stuff doesn't appeal to me...

That's a movie that you don't really watch until you see it a second time. So many subtle references to the twist ending that otherwise flies right over your head!

Ehhh, I kind of anticipated the twist. I didn't want it to end that way, though. D:

I see your point about Avatar, but now that I stopped to think actually about what you said and compared it to the movie, makes a lot of sense. I usually think about that stuff too, but the first time I saw Avatar was when it was in 3d, guess I kinda got really into all the effects and failed to notice that it could have been done better. Did you realize all of what you had written after watching the movie for the first time?

On a different note, I think the movie: The Departed has its place among conspiracy movies. I loved it. Maybe Troy as well, with Brad Pitt; that was great too.
