Re: Movie Lines You Routinely Incorporate Into Your Day-to-Day Life

I wouldn't say that I incorporate too many lines into my everyday dialogue. I will sit down and toss around quotations until the cows come home, but that is different. Only one comes to mind that I...

Amen. That is what separates "movie" lovers from "film" lovers. I probably have a hundred different ideas floating around in my head while I am viewing any given film. I like to try and cut to the...

Re: Movie everyone HATES

I know a guy, they are out there. He also thinks that all the Psycho sequels are a blessing as well. There is truly no accounting for taste.

Re: Movies people can't dislike without losing your respect

The title of the thread is ridiculous, I agree. There is no such thing as a movie that everyone hates. In truth, us cinephiles never really "hate" a movie. We can always find at least a few redeeming...

Re: Most Surprising Film of the Year:

Re: Where is the Love?

Very interesting selections here, but all of them are certainly worthy. Apatow has a stranglehold on film comedy right now, and at least one of his efforts should be recognized.

One of the numerous reasons I am so concerned about Indiana Jones 4. The title is not only fitting, but prophetic, because shortly into this, I lit myself on fire and ran into a wall to stop the pain.

Re: Red State(Kevin Smith Horror Movie)

Well I have total faith in Kevin Smith. If his scares are as sharp as his dialogue has always been, this could be one scary flick. Of course, there will be sprinklings of his comedic genius as well :)
