Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

Met another guy who doesn't like black and white movies today. He had no logical reason for disliking Citizen Kane, other than it had no action and that it was black and white, but both of those are BS reasons. CK was extremely tense at times and well thought-out. Being made with black and white film shouldn't be a detriment, motherf!!ker!

Rosebud...

That was a good movie.

Film Snob.

Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

Citizen Kane is a poor metaphor for the loss of innocence and the corruption of the American Dream. Plus it was a harsh and inherently direct attack on the life of Hearst, which I tend to hate as a theme overall, regardless of who that person is.

It's an acceptable piece in History, but doesn't deserve the acclaim it receives.

Film Snob.

I may be a film snob- I don't really care if I am- but don't you think judging a film based on its appearance rather than its content is just a sign of stupidity and myopia? You can miss out on some of the best movies if you think the way this f!!ker did. Of course, he likes CG and action, and the sh!t comedy they have in most movies nowadays, so I doubt he would enjoy them anyway. Not enough explosions and poorly-written characters busting out their over 9000$ boob jobs.

To Vika,
I really found CK to be interesting, but I will agree parts could have been better. The founder of yellow journalism doesn't really deserve a movie that doesn't attack him, in my opinion. Also, at least this movie has metaphors and some symbolism, AKA depth, instead of loads of the sh!t I see playing in theaters now. I swear, the corporate nature of the film industry nowadays makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

Some of the best films I find are in different languages or just look boring from the outside. I've never been into huge action blockbusters, I like more subtle ones.

Although, saying that I watched Midnight Cowboy and Lolita, both awesome films. Great soundtrack as well for Midnight cowboy!

To me, the best movies are Momento and Barrakka. No speaking. Win.

I personally don't give a **** about the lack of dedicated support, it's the price that is making have second thoughts. It's a tad pricey.

MW2 might as well be called the new Halo.

You don't need to play a game to criticize it.

Ha!, thats like saying the plot in a film was rubbish without even watching it.

Umm. No, IWC is right.

Criticizing a game before release, is like tearing down a movie with it's cast choice and trailers.

No, not really.
