Make your confession to your fellow MoFos

If someone was to watch it for the first time, I would have them watch the movies over the epic. Watching the epic though I didnt get any less enjoyment out of it, nor feel "Oh how could they?!" not even once.

Meh, the films are so good it couldn't possibly be bad but i have no interest in it.

I've probably told this story, but I went to the video store (shows how long ago this was) and wanted to get both Godfather films. I'd seen bits & pieces here & there, but wanted to watch them back to back in their entirety. I always remember the video store guy getting me the combined movie (whatever it was called then), handing it to me and telling me I had to watch this version because this was "the only way to watch it."

There are still plenty of video stores around, I go to them all the time.

The only Bond movie I've seen is Casino Royale and I hated Do the Right Thing.

Scarface is way over the top, it's a guilty pleasure for sure and fun to watch but far from a great movie and Pacino overacts to death in that one.

I like Donnie Brasco and Carlito's Way but I preferred Sean Penn in the latter and in terms of crime movies, both are part of the b tier.

GGGR is ok, nothing special and I already mentioned I liked Scent of a Woman.

Like I said, outside of GF and Heat and a few other movies, Pacinos filmography isn't great. It's certainly good and maybe I used the wrong word (abysmal) but I prefer what De Niro or Hank have done in their careers to Pacino, although based on raw talent, Pacino is the better actor.

Agreed, but I didn't just say it was down to Pacino's performance. That entire movie is so well made, De Niro turns in one of his last truly great performances and it is easily one of the most quotable movies of the 90s.

It seems I often like the movies in which Pacino is part of an ensemble.

God, I thought it was just me...have never been able to get through a Harry Potter movie without nodding off.

I went to see the first one. I felt it was good for little kids, but not enough impact for me so I never watched any others.

I find this applies to Will Ferrell, too. All but one time I've asked someone what they like about a Will Ferrell film, it's always been other actors/characters in the movie.

I confess to sometimes being a disaster at making a post.

I write first what comes freely, then I try and structure the mess, then I try and spell check and fix grammar errors, then I post. THEN I have to edit that post cause I was too impatient to do the first steps correctly, and then I post. Alot of times I look at the post afterward, and then delete it. I delete alot of my own posts, probably more than anyone here.

More than Swan?

I am becoming weary with Quentin Tarantino. And I don't want to be.

Welcome to me circa 2009.

yes me too. So weary I can't be arsed to watch the Hateful Eight

You should consider skipping that one, because I don't think it's good at all. That's my confession. Other MoFos will say otherwise.

Seanc is right, this thread is about dissing the stuff he likes.

And if sean had good taste, that'd be a problem.

I like Francis Ford Coppola, and like most of his movies. I confess to thinking Apocalypse Now to be an overrated piece of business, and he being the main reason it fell short with me. Over directed like he was trying to be an "artist" or something. Honestly I thought Dracula more artistic than Apocalypse Now, and an overall sounder movie.

Dracula is better than Apocalypse Now. I thought everyone knew that?

I rarely read film credits in the theater.
