Two snaps up. Loved it.

So what you're saying is it's possible for a director to get better even though his movies get worse. Gotcha. I don't know if I can agree with the sentiment of this statement. A director's skill could improve, despite a continuous string of shitty scripts, poor casting choices (perhaps by the studi...

LOL... Cas, DON'T BE THAT GUY

Liked it. Imagery was really beautiful. What did you shoot on? Some of the shot selection was off, though. Wondering why we didn't get a close-up of the father until half way through the movie. Also, the use of those ultra-subjective POV shots didn't really fit with the rest of your withdrawn, verit...

Horrible show. I can't wait. the acting is bad other then a couple of people. but the story is fresh. Well, the idea of the story is great, but the actual execution is constantly tripping over itself. Agree with you about the acting... I put this into the same category as Entourage: not the best fi...

Horrible show.

I can't wait.

But I agree with boogie shoes. Started out great ended up shit. The ending was very clunky. Didn't work.

Yup.

Co-sign.

But I'm pretty much done with this type of film... maybe it's because all of my classmates are writing this type of film...

This is a horrible movie. Co-signed on this being QT's worst writing. Perhaps if the writing was anywhere approaching the writing of the opening of Pulp Fiction it would have been tolerable but the writing in this movie was just lazy.

There is no western more grim than the Wild Bunch. Only Lars Von Trier has produced films with more nihilism. I don't know, Searchers and Grand Silence are more downbeat i think. Cemetary Without Crosses is really dark too supposedly, i'm hesitant to pony up 40 for the dvd though Great Silence is e...

This movie is so bugged out to me... such an average noir at first and then becomes all kinds of weird in the second half.

Good pick.

What are the most depressing, nihilistic, loveless, not-warm-and-fuzzy movies of all-time? I am a fan of movies that make you feel like absolute shit. I love nothing more than walking out of a theater and hating myself and humanity more than I already do. Being depressed by films is tops. So list 'e...

I LOLed

Okay movie...

I never really bought Russle Crowe's change of heart... which is a pretty big plot-point not to buy.

Look fo indie features by first time directors... budget constraints usually keep them short:

PI
Raising Victor Vargas


Those two I know of the top for sure

History of violence was one of my favorite movies of this decade. I like that he's leaning towards more traditional narratives and away from the more sci-fi stuff... it's a good look for old David.

My point is, this is how conversations go in this forum these days: A: That movie was awesome! B: Nah, it sucked... characters were under developed. A: What are you crazy? That movie was so much fun. You film nerds take all the fun out of movies! C: Yeah dude, movies are supposed to be fun! It wasn'...

Why do people keep making threads like this? Some of you think movies are just for fun and entertainment and some of us look at it as a complex art. As someone pointed out, it's just becoming "hip hop vs. rap". I guess my real question is: to those of you who think movies "should just be fun, dude."...

How can you guys not cringe when he says "Mama always said, life is like a box of chocolates..." To me, you guys are just projecting your stereotypes of "film nerds" into this argument, like you often do.

this was and (probably still) a horrible movie.

would have been cool as a 20 minute short. should have cut it down instead of adding more. those ten minute conversations are excruciating and not that sharply written.

It's corny and contrived.

Wow. Haven't been excited about a super-hero trailer in a long time, but this really looks phenomenal. Looks like Jon Favreau is also injecting some of his trademark humor in there too.

This looks really solid to me.

There was a time, our soph year of college, that Cas and I watched 2 movies a night everyday of the week for a couple months straight. That actually made me hate movies for a while... These days I watch a 3-5 a week. That number is only so high cause I've been teaching film to kids, so I watch a lot...

Yes and it's nowhere near as good. And if you've seen the theatrical trailer you've seen the movie, they give away every great joke and plot-point.

son of a bitch, i didn't even know they still had drive-ins Mark Twain once said, "When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it's always twenty years behind the times." as long as they got that #5 chili you mentioned, i'm there That chilli sucks.

Movies aren't meant to be fun.

I had no idea what was going on in this film... I also know nothing about Bob Dylan. To enjoy this film, I think it's a requirement you have, at least, listened to a few Dylan albums and know a bit about his life. As a stand-alone movie: it was well-crafted, but there was really no story to hold on ...
