7/11 Have you ever seen a movie where all of your friends liked it but
you just don't get it or don't like it? I'll start:
\_ Wouldn't the world be a dull place if we all liked the same stuff?
Totoro
Spirited Away
\_ For me it's often I like it but none of my friends do as is the
case with Spirited Away. Try not to watch it to "get it." But
try watching it to enjoy the story telling. It may help you
appreciate it, and maybe even "get it."
\_ what, sometimes a story is ... just a story? Not some huge
sledgehammer moralistic or egotistically philosphical wank?
\_ You really need to see Spirited Away on a big screen
(projection TV or projector->wall is good) with good
sound to appreciate it.
Being John Malkovich
\_ One of the few movies I chose not to finish.
\_ If I need a bigscreen and sound systm then how is it any
different than any other hollywood summer fx flick? A
story shouldn't need that.
\_ sometimes, it's not the effect, but the plain simple
gorgeous shots done by say kurosawa. big picture is
not the same as big effects.
Being John Malkovich
\_ One of the few movies I chose not to finish.
\_ There's something about Mary
This is Spinal Tap
\_ Spinal Tap was so fucking funny! "But... this one goes to 11" and
you *know* you're the #1 Big Bottoms fan!
Forrest Gump ..
Worst in Show
Big Trouble In Little China .
Austin Powers (all of them)
\_ If you didn't like the first or even the second one, what made you
watch the last of them?
\_ cable and peer pressure -- I am weak.
\_ Austin Powers doesn't work with cable modem. Bastard.
\_ clerks
\_ Or any movie by Kevin Smith (is that his name?)
\_ costner
\_ idiot.
\_ Gone with the wind: I saw this on the big screen years ago and it
was easily one of the shittiest movies I'd ever seen. Her acting
in particular was quite painful. He looked like he knew it was a
shitfilm and was enjoying mocking it all the way through.
\_ Shrek
\_ Nemo! Do not see Nemo! |
