Re: The 7th MoFo Hall of Fame
 

I'm feeling pretty confident with my nom. I chose something that a lot of people are familiar with. I've done a quick check of the participants so far, most of them have already seen it and most who've seen it seem to like it. Fingers crossed that results in a good placement.

How's the deadline looking right now Raul?

Re: The 7th MoFo Hall of Fame
 

I'll join. I've got this and the watchlist to do, but I've got the summer ahead of me now, so it should be fine :)

Well that doesn't make me happy. :( I don't mind if it's a foreign film, or an arthouse film, or even a foreign arthouse film, but please tell me that it doesn't have bugs and/or spiders in it.


I have a few movies in mind that I think are HoF quality movies, but the problem is that most people usually don't agree with me. Like I said, I'm not picking a movie to win. I just don't want people to hate it.

Am I allowed to post my short list here so people can see what movies I'm considering, or is that a big no-no?

It's none of those. It's just not a very happy movie.

That's okay. At least I'll be able to watch it with an open mind. :up:

GB, just go with your heart. I nominated Foreign Correspondent last time and it tanked, but that's OK.

In fact, my nomination this time may tank too. I think its got a fair shot, but we will see.

I'm definitely going to nominate something. I just have to decide what. :shrug:

Re: The 7th MoFo Hall of Fame
 

Nominate Arsenic and Old Lace.

I love Arsenic and Old Lace, but I think it would get very mixed reviews here. But I am considering a different Frank Capra movie.

Why do you think that? It's probably my favorite Capra film.

Re: The 7th MoFo Hall of Fame
 

I love it Arsenic too.

It's my favorite Capra movie, but even I can see that Cary Grant's acting was way over the top in it. (But I think it actually works well in that movie.)

Re: The 7th MoFo Hall of Fame
 

He's eccentric in it, I think. That's why I like that performance.

Re: The 7th MoFo Hall of Fame
 

I hate Arsenic and Old Lace. I think you'll remember you and Gunslinger trying to bully me before receiving a Glasgow Kiss GBG :p

Re: The 7th MoFo Hall of Fame
 

Remember gb, Camo isn't participating in the hall of fame, so his opinion doesn't matter. :D :p

Why do you hate Arsenic and Old Lace?

Re: The 7th MoFo Hall of Fame
 

Remember Swan, Camo is waiting for an answer from Raul then hell think about joining, followed by group building that the HOF has never seen before :walter:

Only joking BTW gbg

I don't actually hate it. Its just my mum has a movie hit rate with me like noone else, and Old Lace (a big fav of hers) didn't do much for me. I suppose I was also a bit let down by one of my fav actors in Cary Grant, as well as most of the jokes missing the mark.

I think I read somewhere that Arsenic and Old Lace was Cary Grant's least favorite of his movies.

Even though his performance is so over the top, I think the other actors in the movie more than make up for it, especially Peter Lorre.
