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

^^^ CP, I would give the Village a try if I were you. Its way better than the Happening. Plus, it was Bryce Dallas Howard's movie debut and she does a really good job. Worth seeing for that reason too.
 
The twist in the village didnt bother me because i figured it out half way through and didnt even consider it a twist by the time it was ending

Signs was borderline amazing until it had an awfuuuuuul ending. The religious stuff bothered me alot but fine at least it had connection to the rest of the.movie. WATER? Nooo. **** you

Maybe i need to rewatch unbreakable i dont remember loving it

not real, but if it was

:eek
 
^was scrolling down, saw the fake star wars poster immedietly said "Eff you Solarius no its not (real)" then read your words

and that episode of Futurama with the 4 leaf clover is just so great. I have brothers, we mess around, copy the older brother like I did, fought growing older now but down to the real hard core we care for each other enough to do the ultimate sacrifice/step like Fry's bro did. I can totally relate with my brothers and would do the same. tears me up everytime. standing Ova for Matt Groening man

can't think of any other characters except Don Draper like that, only until the very end he'll catch you from falling or rescue you from your worst. the character development to get there is always amazing to me.

thing i don't like about the episodes list are that its from newer shows for the most part. sopranos and wire are considered the best ever so I expected

I forgot I think it's actually 7 leaf clover lol.

And yes that dexter episode was the peak of the show.

It's funny how ever sopranos fan generally agrees that the woods episode is the best. As much as I get bothered at times with the direction of the later part of the series and the final scene of the episode, that show is very rewatchable and just incredible.
 
I would put those 2 Futurama eps mentioned up against anything in television history. They hit on every level and make you catch all the feels.

Why do I get bad feelings about this new Arrested Development season?
 
Because the anticipation is insane. It started before the show was even cancelled... Waiting for it to be saved and new episodes. So it's universally praised as one of the best sitcoms and now it's coming back after an unjust cancellation. People are understandably excited but many are right to temper expectations.

Cuz we almost always regret the good movies and shows we used to love coming back for one more go? :lol

I think Arrested is gonna be the exception, cuz the characters are so damn strong, the jokes apparently never get old, and that voice is so...distinct, that they'd know pretty quickly if they were ******g up.

And since it's not a network thing, they had the freedom to really get it right, instead of okay, you got 5 months, give us 22.

Oh, and Arrested Development fans can be mad annoying.

I have decided I hope the series ends with the entire planet going into nuclear war and the 24 universe ceases to exist. Cuz all these characters are TERRIBLE.

Jurassic Bark is the best episode of any cartoon I've ever seen. If I can ever convince my gf to watch an episode of futurama, it'll be that one. So so damn good :hat And yeah, Luck of the Fryish and Jurassic Bark are the two episodes I thought of too :lol :hat

I saw the OP's table of contents and unless I didn't see right banned movies haven't been discussed yet right? for the record idk if America has banned movies but very interesting seeing movies like Platoon banned in Vietnam for obvious reasons implied and other similar instances like that

M. Night's movies always retroactively get graded. Because that moment when he was it, was so short, it's like it never happened. And because you can almost ruin his "greatest" movie just by spoiling the twist, makes it feel like dude was never good in the first place. You can't make movies where all people are waiting for and care about is the last 5 minutes and hope for any kinda fair consideration.

I agree though, Unbreakable is clearly his best film, to me. It's a shame they never made the sequel, but that's probably for the best.

The Village...I don't especially like it, but there was some really good, really well done parts. It just felt like the movie up and decided to end cuz why not? And everything sorta didn't have a point. People call it a twist, but really it was just a copout. And worse, it exposed the fact that we were watching a movie with sets and actors and costumes. It made you dislike every bit of its own aesthetic up to that point. That's just like...rare failure. You can't see one of these Pilgrim looking people and take any of them and their motivations seriously. The performances are great and distinct, but there's this cloud of ******** handing over them now. I don't think he intended that, but that's how I feel trying to watch it again.

Signs though...that had a twist. Signs had a terrible, miserable, spit in your face twist, made all the worse by...yeah...that awful cgi. The twist in Signs is the kind of thing that stays with you as one of the very first things you see in your mind when you even think of the movie, so I don't blame anyone who says it sucks. If you put that image on the boxcover, you'd laugh and keep it moving.

But it was his later movies. Especially Lady in the Water. The Happening letdown the people who just wanted a great twist ending. The popcorn crowd. Lady in the Water let the heads know that M. Night was just about done making anything decent ever again.

I mean...Disney fired him. I remember the article. It read like a Rolling Stone exclusive with an exiled dictator. They said, oh Lady in the Water sounds terrible. Do you wanna make something else instead? No? Your head too big right now? Okay, go with God.

Airbender was just the icing on the cake.

I'm not going to lie. I haven't seen Unbreakable. I have it on Blu-ray, but I'm saving it for a good day when I can just let it soak in. I know I will like it, and really enjoy it, but I'm just waiting. Like a fine wine. :lol

M. Night is so damn tricky.

The Sixth Sense came out of NO WHERE and blew the socks off everybody with it's twist, and it seemed he had a general good sense of filmmaking.

Recently, he's let the effects control his career. The story of his films have taken a backseat, and it's more about what's on screen.

Signs gets crapped on far too much IMO. I know plenty of people who despise it. It's well acted, well directed, and it tells a good story.

The Village does the same thing, and for 95% of the film, he gets it. I've hated that goddamn twist since I saw it opening weekend 9 years ago. I still hate it today. It's stupid. I understand the message it's trying to send, I just don't care after having it ruined like that. He created a world for us and then spit in our face. I hated the fact that it was all a fabrication, from the monsters, to the village itself. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

I haven't seen Lady in the Water recently enough to remember much about it, so I won't mention that.

The Happening though? Oh God. The only thing interesting that he created in that film was the hysteria around the stars who try and carry the film. I wish the original Night of the Living Dead had the scope of this film. And I know that's what World War Z is going to try and do, but it's not going to be nearly as good. The Happening is just a mess of a film, in almost every aspect.


I want to can on him for Devil as well, because he was as involved with that as anyone, he just didn't want to put his name on it. It was a very poor attempt at a new horror film. The script sucked (which he wrote), and the acting was even worse (that looked exactly like The Happening).

All this said, I'm intrigued by After Earth. When I went and saw Evil Dead last week, I saw the trailer for AE, and the first thing that came to my mind was, "Oh crap, is this Ender's Game?!" No, not quite. If he pull off just a DECENT film, I'll be pleased.

It's like M. Night decided to try and write a Charlie Kaufman or maybe Neil Gaiman film...
You know, to get people to respect him again.

But it turned out...nope, still M. Night.

Poor M Night.. :{ To fizzle out like that. :{ I think he could come back & reinvent himself. He didn't direct it but he did co-write & produce Devil. I thought that was a really good cable movie.

There was a discussion on great casts in the Black Hawk Down thread here in the General section. It made me pull out this movie on DVD last night to put it on my "to Watch" pile. Anyone ever see this? Has a young Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn, Tom Cruise, & Giancarlo Esposito...I'm an old head & remember seeing this in the movie theater thinking it was some high drama... :lol. I thought I was seeing an Academy Award picture... :lol

I watched a round table discussion with Jessie Eisenberg and he is by far the most awkward actor I've ever seen. Was so nervous speaking and it was almost tough to watch/listen to him talk. Its on youtube btw.

Movie looks good though. I hope the twist in the film is actually mind blowing good though. I can tell theirs gonna be a major twist to why they rob the banks but not keep the cash
