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

No, not at all. Venom has been here since the beginning of this thread. I may not agree with his reviews, but he's welcome to post them. I'm noticing the trend around here about what is a "good" movie, vs what is "terrible" I can just laugh at it, no need for me to defend any films like what I went thru with MOS. :lol:

What's good and what's bad been that way for a long while though. I don't think it's a trend.

It's like the divide between ppl who thought American Hustle was great and those who didn't.
 
I think, amongst the regulars in here, there are different standards applied as far as rating movies. Venom comes at it from the perspective a real critic, whose looking at the technical filmmaking aspects, as well as overall enjoyment. I'm not nearly that nuanced in my assessment of films. I'm just worried about, at the end, was it worth my 1.5-3 hours. A movie has to be genuinely unwatchable for me to say its terrible. I think CP and Rck, among others, are more that way. Big J and Mr. O fall somewhere in the middle, etc., etc. But that's one of the good things about this thread. Its cool to see how varied the opinions can be.
 
That's very true. Venom told me on twitter to keep in mind that critics have to be more nit picky than regular movie goers.

Good post lawdog.
You're one of the few clipper fans that I have a lot of respect for. Very level headed :pimp:

Every time Tombstone comes on I end up watching the whole thing. Has become one of my favorite movies.

Doc Holliday is easily one of my top 10 favorite characters. :pimp:

Seems they did change a few things but a lot looks straight out the book :pimp:

Didn't even know the trailer was already out.

At the end when they bust in that bamma room. And Doc's man was like "don't move"

Don Jon was an average movie to many. Started off so well then hopped a cliff. For it to have such a high rating on IMDB
 
So a coworker and I were having a discussion on mid-90s films and came to an agreement that that era was the peak of the "not-too-serious Sci-Fi horror" films. Between Event Horizon, Sphere, Mars Attacks, Deep Blue Sea, etc has there been another period that can stand beside the mid-to-late-90's?

Looks amazing. :smokin


Scored screeners to X-Men tonight. :smokin


Right after the Draft lottery and the Lakers getting the #1 pick, I'm hitting the theater, hopefully it will erase a lot of X-Men trash the past few years, and keep the momentum of First Class. :smokin

Interested to hear what you think. I'm in the camp that thinks Days of Future Past may have too much going on it to really work well. Hope you tell me otherwise.

Anyone seen bad words or million dollar arm?

Bad Words was cool. A bunch of cursing and racial slurs. Bateman was verbally abusing kids throughout the movie :lol:






I know I'm gonna get fried for this but damn, I love The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I know a lot of people didn't but I do. It's a beautifully shot movie, one of the best I've ever seen. The scenery, the visual effects during his daydreaming and the movie itself, like the movie was shot with a higher quality lens than most films today. It's a gorgeous film and I love how the movie ends. The problem is that some of the dialogue and scenes are corny at times. I think that's because they struggled with the direction. It seems like they wanted to make it a comedy but then decided to make it serious. Still a few good laughs. The detail throughout this movie is unbelievable. I think Stiller also directed and if so, he did a pretty good job.


Feel free to roast away :lol:

^ do you not like Ben Stiller? There's a good amount of people that just hate him and hate all his movies.

It felt like the 90s were this perfect moment when the effects were just good enough that it was believable, but still new and kinda awkward. Studios didn't know how to make cgi blockbusters yet, so they let everybody go ham with no expectations except trying not to lose money. Plus, they were ripping off or putting twists on legit great movies like The Abyss and T2 and Alien. Instead of now, where people just lift styles and shots and keep it moving.

Nowadays...I dunno...it feels like all the technical stuff got so good, that any movie with a budget gets made and the technical stuff's prepackaged on autopilot. So it all looks like the same 3 or 4 movies and no one with a cast and any decent budget is really allowed to go bat**** crazy anymore with the style or tone. Now the studio knows how much money a Pirates or a Transformers is gonna get em, so they try to squeeze all the outlandish **** into that box.

It's either straight to DVD quality with no cast or just generic and forgettable.

Like...now we got what...Cowboys and Aliens? The Happening? :lol: Can't even think of anything else.

Like I know it's dumb arguing...why aren't bad or campy B-movies as cable classic as they used to be?
