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

[darthska]

I have Rounders.

Like I said, I'm a Damon fan. Definitely a little disappointed to hear The Adjustment Bureau is slow & 'safe'. :/

Speaking of political movies, you guys ever seen Wag the Dog? Dustin Hoffman, Robert DeNiro? Shouldn't be anywhere close to anyone's GMOAT list, but it's a good watch... unless you're a hypercynical conspiracy theorist.

Then you should probably never, ever watch it. Actually, if you're a hypercynical conspiracy theorist, this movie probably IS on your GMOAT list.

Teddy KGB is one of my favorite characters of all-time.

Just came in to say this.

The scene where he leaves the base without permission/notice and comes back and there are no repercussions whatsoever is just absolutely absurd. There's more things like that as well.

The Hurt Locker just wasn't that good.




Yeah...I got kinda pissed when King Kong was fighting a dinosaur in his movie

  Fellas...what about suspending your disbelief??  I took the Hurt Locker at face value...a good movie that was INTENSE and most importantly....entertaining.  Of course there were inaccuracies, but if I looked at every movie I watched with a overly critical eye, I'd hate all of cinema. 

For those of you who saw Winter's Bone...what were your thoughts on the film?  As I said, I watched it last night.  The acting was superb but it moved at a snail's pace.

I have Winter's Bone on deck along with Fair Game (Penn, Watts), Hereafter, The Kids Are Alright, And the Warriors Way, and sounds like I may have Adjustment Bureau later today.  So, I'll be busy.  Soon as I get thru Winter, I'll post on it J's.  

I hear ya on the suspend disbelief, but they tried to portray the film as being a realistic look at what a solider like Renner goes thru, and how he can't have a normal life anymore, things like that, so to have obvious inaccuracies, just doesn't fit ya know?  Be like havin a "serious" film about police officers and havin them hold their guns sideways or some @#$% like those exaggerated gangsters do.  Or like the Wayans in Don't be a Menace.....

I've seen Rounders 750 times, I still can't keep up with how Damon read all them judges cards at the table.  Like what the @#$% he sees 3 cards total out of the deck, how the hell man?

Man, the movies you guys are listing. 

I feel lost in this thread I am probably familiar with maybe 15 percent of the movies listed in the last 5 pages. 

At least with Pulp Fiction I knew who was in the movie. 

*edit*

Now, the Rounders I do know.  I went through a hold 'em fanaticism phase because of that movie

[johnnyredstorm]

I need to check out Rounders, hopefully FX runs a repeat this week; I'll check later.

Lemme know how Hereafter is, CP. Haven't really heard much about it from anyone and Idk if that bodes well for the film since it's Eastwood and Damon and the damn thing should be pretty popular, but nonetheless, hopefully it's one of those under the radar movies.

And don't get me started on Slumdog Millionaire, Dub. I despise that damn flick for robbing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button of Best Picture.

Aye, anything you want answered, ask.  I'm with you, a whole bunch of movies listed in here I haven't seen or even heard of, but I'm jotting them down, doin a little look-see to see if it might interest me, and then I see if I can find it, or know anyone that may have it, and go from there.  I've seen a whole bunch of new stuff in the past few weeks just from chattin it up in here. 

So if there's something you want to know about, just ask. 

Will do JRS. 

And I liked Slumdog. 

  And Juno, Ska...........Juno was a witty movie, I can't help it.  And it has Garner in it.

Slumdog!

I loved that movie.  I had the biggest crush on Frieda Pinto. 

Why, why why aren't there more Indian girls who look like her?  Why?!?

Idk if I liked the moral of Juno. 

*edit*

And CP I wouldn't know what questions to ask I'm that lost

I think it's cuz I'm mostly a current and mainstream person.

I liked slum dog. I actually remember walking out of the theater pleased. But then I started to hear way too much nonsense about what a powerful and deep movie it was. And then I started hearing it was the best of the year.

I was really pissed that the hurt locker beat Inglorious Basterds

I thought that milk, Benjamin Button, and Frost/Nixon were all better than slumdog. I haven't seen the reader.

Sitting down right now to watch Maltese Falcon... Really on an old movie kick lately...

And

@ Benjamin Button being better than Slumdog... Benjamin Button is the slowest, most drawn out, overly long boring movie ever made. Not up for debate.
