Hayward will be a better pro than Wesley Johnson. Seriously. The next person that makes fun of Hayward because he is white and looks like he is 16 years old is gonna get a fistful of honz in the face. I've had enough man.

You're ****ing high. Without looking up the stats, I'll say I think Johnson put up better stats in just about every category in the toughest conference in the country. Get a clue Princess.

A number of reasons. I think it basically invented the genre of holocaust pornography. I think the ending scene where everyone walks past the grave of Oskar Schindler feels cheap and contrived. I read an interview with Terry Gilliam a few years ago where he had a pretty searing critique of the "happy ending" nature of a film about the holocaust where we focus on all the people that were saved that rings sort of true with me. Imre Kertesz (Nobel prize winner in Literature and concentration camp survivor) wrote a pretty searing critique of the movie and its treatment of inhumanity as an aberration that I thought had particular legitimacy given his particular standpoint; he dismissed the entire film as "kitsch."

Every time I see the movie or clips of the film these perspectives become more apparent to me. At some point in time I will probably believe it's one of the most overrated films of all time.

Fair enough. It doesn't have the effect it once had one me but I attribute that more to being jaded. It's a sensitive subject, it was going to be impossible to please everyone I guess. Regarding that particular concentration camp survivor I can appreciate his viewpoint but it's not going to change mine. Everything is flawed I guess and I think it's more about what we want to see.

Boondock Saints. I have yet to see (and probably will not see) the sequel out of fear it will **** all over it. Anything else would depend on the mood that I am in.

Have you seen it yet? I watched it over the weekend. I LMAO'd in parts, but it was terrible. The plot jumped around and failed to build much of anything, kind of like a recent flick from M. Night Shamaylan on speed. The killing scenes looked older than The Duke popping a six shooter.

I know right? I mean seriously he looks more like 14 than 16. And pasty? Wow is that guy pasty. He makes paste look like, well, something darker than paste, like maybe dirty paste. Or brown paste. Yeah.

No, I haven't. I had asked a friend of mine who gushed over it and was almost to the point where I might rent it, but then heard from a couple of other friends that it was terrible. The mixed reviews were enough to keep me away from it...Although I heard the dream with Rocco is hilarious.
 
I don't know why but I've always loved Minority Report. It's the one movie that has consistently remained one of my most favorite movies of all-time.

Also up there are movies like Fight Club, The Matrix and Back to the Future.

Best (as distinct from favorite): Magnolia

It's impossible to succintly describe everything that's right about this movie, but the entire thing from the opening three-segment monologue about the nature of probability and coincidence to P.T. Anderson's crazy-long hallway passing shots to virtually every sentence uttered by Frank T.J. Mackey is simply sublime. Lots of people hate the frog thing; I love it. The movie is basically cinematic ecstasy and I truly believe it is the greatest film to ever have been committed to celluloid.

You have some odd tastes, that's for sure. I thought Magnolia was one of the most nonsensical movies I'd ever seen.
 
If you haven't seen this, you need to. I just wish someone would do a 2010 version with dickwads on their Bluetooth's, people yelling into their phones while in the checkout line, morons who actually think driving a Hummer is cool/trendy, and people who drive drunk.

I agree. Also include online pedophiles or people who make light of it.
 
There are two movies, that no matter how many times I've seen them, when flipping through channels I will automatically stop and watch whatever remains of the show. Shawshank Redemption and this, which sadly is shown much too infrequently...

Too many to name, but ultimately my favourite is....



Hitchcock's 'The Birds'.



Hint: The movie's title has a double meaning. Once you understand this, the movie will open up in a way you'd never realized.
