Re: What was the last movie you saw?

What's that a teacher with a completly un-realistic relationship with his student, who chases after a girlfriend that has the biggest goo-goo eyes on the face of the planet (which is her only bargaining tool to convey any form of communication).

So what exactly was so unrealistic about his relationship with his student(s)? Have you actually been to school? Or have you only had a home tutor so far, who would whip your *** every time you did or said something "inapproproate"? And now youre moaning about Wahlbergs character going after another character with "big goo goo eyes"?

Thanks for proving my point- that one has to grow the **** up first, and see life, because the movie did show certain nuances from an adult perspective.
If you want fake emotions, go and watch Cruise jump up and down the sofa with Oprah.

There are differences between stress tolerances and having very few facial expressions. I've seen him in other films and he was acceptable, evidently the direction he was given was either awful or just a rough day. The accent and how softly he spoke even under the circumstances made it feel more like a dumbed down children's tale than a so called thriler.

Where do you live? Do you cry every time you see someone step on an ant? Is it socially acceptable to b!itch and moan every time, with horribly overdone facial expressions every time the weather changes? Have you actually seen movies which dont rely on characters overplaying the emotions, and instead rely on something different, to create that same sense of suspense and fear?

Because around where I live, men usually have two facial expressions. Oned where they watch football and another when they wake up in the morning, and you can easily mix the two up.

The reason why I drew a parallel with myself and my history teacher was plain and obvious- my history teacher had a similar relationship with his students, and off-school, he was very similar. Calm, collected. Ive seen him go angry once, and even then, he was calm and collected. In most cases, I am the same.

Youll see the same sh!t put onto the screen constantly by every top Hollywood actor, and NOW youre moaning about Wahlbergs, which happen to be quite realistic, given the complete lack of "clear and present danger"?!

The few seconds where he's recalling his teaching motto for lack of a better word in terms of science was plain cheesy and cringe worthy.

Are you kidding? I can count dozenzs of exactly the same moments where Ive had to shut up the crowd around me to have a moment to think to solve a solution, and in some occasions, Ive done it out loud. Theres nothing cheesy about it. Its a real moment. As a matter of fact, often fear, panic and the rush from adrenaline takes your mind completely over, and theres no choice but to vocalise those thoughts because you have to organize them SOMEHOW. Sh!t man, have you actually seen life?

The let's die together ******** was cheesy and easy way to finish get the film over and present the act of god line that had been so "casually" dropped into play in the lesson you see him teach.

Theres nothing about God there. The underlining theme was this- "there are forces at work we have no understanding about (yet)". Enter into the discussion about gravity in this very same subforum.

I do agree however- "lets die together" was a bad way to present the end of the cataclysm, because frankly, theres still a kid they had to protect. They couldnt have a radio, and they couldnt have any survivors picking them up. For all intents and purposes, they were screwed. Personally, I cant think of a way to get out of that rathole, but Im not really applying my artistic talent (coughs) into it anyway.

srsly? Thriller? Go watch some good thriller pieces, Spooks is the cream-crop not exactly a film but several series long. It was clearly obvious when people were going to die as there was strong wind, making it painfully obvious to the audience that it was the plants. Okay maybe he was trying to get some dramatic irony across, we knew and I suspect most people just because frustrated with their inability to see what was to clear.

WOW! Youre dismissing a thriller which tries to go around and impress the viewer from a completely different angle, using completely different methods, using a f!cking British drama series. Bravo! Bravo!

Again, thanks for proving how little you paid attention and how closed your mind was. Did you go into the movies to see a movie with an MNS famous plot twist? How about you go into the movies and expect the unexpected? Not an open twist, but a tale told differently, from a different perspective? How about you just go in and watch a god damn movie.

There was no dramatic irony. It was a window peak into a familys life during a few hours in their lives. If you choose to believe that somehow, Shyamalan wants to tell us to stop f!cking with the planet, then maybe you should believe that Cameron told us to stay the f!ck out of space! :laugh:

It wasnt about a twist, never was, which is why the plants were made obvious since the first minutes of the movie, where the words "the toxin appears to be natural" popped out. Which was the start of the realization.

Thrillers are dependant on attachment to the characters, in which there was none, I saw no reason to want them to live infact nearer the end it was the opposite. Good musical pieces is the easiest effect in thrillers to pull off and I don't really recall the tempo being raised to a point where I was tense.

Bullsh!t. Please go ahead and cite me a correct way to explain the term "thriller", because this is what I found from the second link in the Google search, wikipedia.

Generally, thrillers focus on plot over fictional characters, and thus emphasize intense, physical action over the character's psyche. Psychological thrillers tend to reverse this formula to a certain degree, emphasizing the characters just as much, if not more so, than the plot.

Grown-up perspective? What's that exactly? Pretended their is more depth to a film that was at best, crudely acted and executed? Your starting to remind me of the long-black haired guy with wrist-bands that colours his hair a random shade every other week, wearing platform boots to look like an "individual"

You can imagine me actually wearing casual clothing, no accessories, and either teaching or guiding yough highschool students/graduates like you. "Grown ups" perspective was actually thrown in with a solid explanation. You ignored that completely and replaced it with your own scewed view and insults to boot. Thanks for proving my point exactly, to the note.

The idea of watching the movie as a grownup means that you need to watch it with an open mind, and that most situations Wahlbergs character was in, he handles like an adult. An educated, responsible adult. Its also very well depicted when he was discussing the possible routes of escape with a very insecure and stuttering soldier- "I think its a terrorist attack... so...[continuation]" / Wahlberg: "I have no reason to disagree with you, so [continuation]"

If youre not dealing with a demoralizing, clear and present danger, something which is going to kill you and you could imagine it (like having someone holding you at gunpoint- have you gone through that?), then there is going to be a natural, lower sense of danger, which will let us deal with the problem with a lot cooler head.

I wait to be beaten into submission of your opinion.

Its your call.

Leave the tits to me and take the second option.

But do take solace in the fact that theres more people agreeing with you, than with me.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

^^ hence the reason u DON'T argue with Chris! u got to be assed reading all that :p

P.S. Chris i didn't likes that movie Unbreakable! the story line was really..i don't know.. Weird?.. the acting was good.. but yeah i don't know how the hell i would decribe that.. I honestly thought halfway through it was going to turn into a marvel rip off and he was going to bust out in some new super hero threads.. The last 10 minutes was the best part of the film.

Well, its M. Night for you. Im susprised that you were waiting for a Marvel type of hero, when the underlining theme was continuously being reminded to the viewer- heroes are not the flashy guys in gymwear, they are mostly orginary people with certain extraordinary traits. Marvel and DC and the likes just make them colourful, interesting to read. Reality is always grittier.

Well, then theres Signs left for you. If you wont like that either, then perhaps you should steer clear from the last 3-

- Lady in the Water
- The Village
- The Happening

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

lol, i have seen the village, another weak movie with a twist at the end to save face.. I did however like sixth sense.. Atleast it had enjoyable content the whole way through.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I saw Sex and The City Movie the other day, and I'm a big fan of the show. It taught me some new things about women, and Kim Cattrall is incredibly hot. The thing with TV to movie, is that it's a minefield. Your basically taken a 30 minute show and expanding it by 3, and SATC is good as episodes but the film was too drawn out to really like it.

I took Redfields advice and watched Mr. Brooks, and while his intelligence was sometimes confusing to the point you think where did that come from?, it was a pretty good movie and the ending was pretty awesome.

I'm intrigued by The Happening, because it seems hard to explain in a trailer. If a trailer sums everything the movie is about, then it's pointless. It's just a compact movie. The Happening trailer was basically, "WTF is happening? (no pun intended) and how do we survive" So you think, Oh i'm going to watch that to find out what happens and how they survive. It's enticing you in.

I've seen Transformers recently too, and that was pretty cool.

Great movies

The great escape is an awesome movie, with Steve McQueen.

I watched the newest Indiana Jones movie last week and had, being a great fun and knowing the series since is was very young, I had high expectations and was surprised how good it was all in all.

Nice sidekicks to the old movies, the great old flair and best of all: they prevented doing the greatest mistakes I had expected. They aged Indy, new time, new setting, didn't try to put him that serious but keeping his honor, just perfectly balanced.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I don't have the energy or will to argue with you Chris, I have no doubt you'll interpret this as conceding "defeat" hardly it's just pointless arguing with you as I don't ever remember you changing your stubborn opinion. So what's the point arguing over the internet about a bad film?

Have you ever stepped back to think that possibly in some situations, yourself and not everyone else is wrong?

A) Grow the f!ck up first.
B) Dont contradict yourself in your arguments.
C) Dont be a hypocrite.
D) If you didnt want to argue, why start in the first place?
E) Who says its a bad film? You? IMDB shows a 50/50 bag of opinions and a 6.2 score. If its mixed, its mixed.

Have you ever stepped back to think that possibly in some situations, yourself and not everyone else is wrong?

Have you?

I made two points- people are blaming MNS for not playing by the rules they expect him to play (while being hypocrites by moaning about Hollywoods lack of creativity) and people thinking that overexaggeration in emotional expression is "realistic".

Enigma, how about those tits then?
