To me, people who judge others based on entertainment are just wanta-be social elitists, waving their invisible intellectual wangs around in people's faces in an obnoxious attempt to attain some kind of Alfa dog status over others; when deep down, they're just pathetic sad and angry little individuals like the rest of us. So you could say I judge those who judge others by judging the movies they watch...wait...No, yeah I think that's right.
I automatically disregard the opinion of anyone who doesn't think that Sebastian Shaw was the best actor to portray Anakin Skywalker on-screen.
They shoulden't have killed Simon Pheonix at the end, the could have made a sequel where an IRS agent chases him for 40 years of unpaid tax.
I have to honestly agree with you there. The prequels were awful. Awful enough that they can put me to sleep. The dialogue was terrible UNLESS I only looked at it from the idea that the reason it was that way is because everything the Jedi & the Republic had established, every proper way of talking, every fancy new spaceship and marvelous city ever built was later degenerated into the sly-talking heroes, rust-bucketed ships, and unkempt environments that the Galactic Empire brought with it's reign. To me, the only thing from the films that even seemed to have survived through the Empire's reign untainted was Cloud City, the last extravagant relic of the Old Republic style. The only things I ever liked from the prequels were Darth Maul, Durge (Clone Wars), and General Grievous.
Demolition man is one of those films where you kinda find yourself wishing the villain had won. See also Die Hard and Virtuosity.
Judge this! My favorate Star Wars film is the 1st, numero 4, A New Hope! I can't get tired of that Death Star assault and some of the awsomeness that happens all over the movie. One of my favorate moments is when it goes first person into a Tie fighter and there's an X-wing dashing right away, blazing away and boom! Awsome it is. Anywho, I never really used movies as a means of judging someone. Just dont seem to think of movies like that. I think it's a bit cruel to just judge a dude based on a peice of entertainment alone.
Cool, I'll be sure to check that out. I knew I heard that idea before! When you spell Alpha incorrectly, it destroys your credibility.
My thoughts on this entitre thread (selecting the parts I felt were worth replying to): Well said. Should be shot and left to rot in unmarked graves. I don't give a fuck how old or intellectual you pretend are; if you honestly think that Jar Jar fucking Binks is better than Economy Wookiees, your soul needs a damn kicking. Irving Kischner for the absolute undisputed WIN. I loved that movie unreservedly. Fucking amazing. Gladiator IS the shit. However, so is Ben Hur. Except for Wrath Of Khan, I agree. Not there for long, but even if he'd been dead when he played Anakin he'd STILL have been infinitely better than Hayden was. Putting that non-acting twunt in the final reel of the "improved" (my arse) version of the Holy Trilogy was little more than an insult. Virtuosity - great movie. Die Hard - brilliant movie. Demolition Man - classic. I introduced a hippy friend of mine to it a couple of weeks ago, and he loved it.
If you don't care, you'd never have posted in the first place. Whassamatter, didn't enough people notice your first troll post, so you thought you'd better back it up with another one? Absolute fail is absolute. Good job.
I thought Virtuosity was a great movie when Denzel Washington's character wasn't onscreen. I don't know what it was, but the character just didn't engage me. Sid, on the other hand, was fantastic. When it gets to the point that he's strolling around in a purple suit and killing people for the lulz, I thought "Hang on a minute, it's the fucking Joker!"
Agreed. Parker was basically just another interchangable Denzel character; Sid 6.7, on the other hand, was a superb character. The nightclub scene was genius (and featured Traci Lords as well. Rawr.) I really should get hold of Virtuosity sometime; it's such an underrated movie. Hard to believe it's 14 years old now...
It was on one of the ITV channels a couple of weeks back. Still fantastically enjoyable when Sid is living it up. It's hard to believe the production team couldn't see that Parker (see, that's how dull he is. I couldn't remember his name) tended to drag the film down. You can't see a scene with him in without thinking "I bet Sid is doing something cool right now. I wish they'd shown us that instead of this scene of Parker moping."
