Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[RyGuy45]

It means I walked out of there wondering what on earth that just was.

And spent the next several hours attempting to figure it out sitting at home. Which actually is fine by me cause I like movies that make you think and don't have dumb-downed Hollywood storylines just handed to you.

That said I honestly have never seen a movie that confusing or lacking a "point" even though we know it's about a son and his demanding father.

I recommend people giving it a shot and telling me their opinions on it though.

i think kevin posted something bout the director not caring about social conventions so it makes sense that it was so odd

What's the exact premise of this thread? I've slept hard, and to be honest, I saw the title, but never realized the amount of pages

[duba169]

the premise is that this is a thread where regulars discuss all movies. We used to do it in the NBA off season thread and other random places and it was annoying people

I've been wanting to watch Mad Men, as well as The Wire, but I'm still finishing up Sopranos, and know that Dexter is only like 2-3 months away or so. 
Also got to check out the 6 episode "season" of Walking Dead. 

I need a longer vacation.

I think Mean Streets won by two or three votes, but not everybody chimed in.

Everyone has until Monday to watch it and get their thoughts in?

[CP1708]

Yeah, let's go with that then.  We have to watch it and review it on in here by Monday 6/27.  Then it will be your movies on the clock, we'll give our votes, and carry on that way. 

Gimme a sec and I'll update the list and post it in here as a heads up to everybody.  

  

Weekly Movie watch and review



We should all do our ratings on a scale of 10.  That way after each movie, we'll get a cumulative score for each movie based off the same numbers.  You can go 8.4/10, or a simple 6/10 or 6.6/10, whatever. 

ALL ratings must be on a  /10 scale. 

1. JPZ, Week 1  Mean Streets, watch and review by Monday 6/27
2. Kev
3. Dub
4. Prime
5. JRP
6. CP
7. Noskey
8. U of Nike
9. Big J
10. Pro
11. Johnny
12. Illmatic
13. Dirk
14. MrONegative

Yea. I recommend the first 3 episodes of the season...and that's about it. Everything else is just pretentious character-killing #%$#*#%+. Enough that you won't trust AMC anymore.

At least Breaking Bad is coming back.
