Aren't you on crack so often you can't remember if you were on crack or if you've seen it a million times and loved it? :)

I could care less about the use of the non-word "chinaperson" two.

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

"Far out." 4 stars for me but I've probably seen it 40 times since I repeatedly watched it on its initial release. You didn't happen to watch it edited on TV?

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

It was certainly a decent movie - 6.5/10.

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

Don't trash talk an awesome movie! At least not over your slurping, eyesight and sleeping problems. :)

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

So honey, when was the last time you watched the '68 version? It's extremely cinematic. I mean, there are no cars burning or guns blazing, but it's a very physical production, mostly set outdoors or...

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

I can understand that it seems daunting to start to watch it because it's a big investment of time, but every time I put Seven Samurai on (or come across it on cable), I get hooked. It's a very...

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

:up: I admire that. Of course, if you have an emergency or a power outage watching something on cable (or some such), and you didn't enjoy the first part, you might be hesitant to finish it before...

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

Gerry has some good cinematography; at least for about five minutes.

Elephant is better that Gerry, but not by much. In fact, without the last 10 minutes, it would have probably gotten a 1...

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

I certainly wouldn't say that My Own Private Idaho is a terrible movie, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it good. I realize it's a post-1967 movie and all, with a few stunning images and some...

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

Thanks, kind sir. I'll admit that it might need more than one viewing for some, but the visceral experience is almost incomparable. "They don't make them like they used to."

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

Straw Dogs is easily worthy of a Ph.D dissertation, but I still say, that's OK.

Re: Movies you couldn't even finish.

I actually agree with you about most of those two's films, although I keep watching them over and over. Blowup is certainly my fave of Antonioni. As far as Tarkovsky, I prefer his early, simple...
