Whatever. I loved that movie. I worked at Six Flags for a summer in high school and it is so close to stuff I experienced.

It wasn't all that bad. Just nothing memorable.

Question for anyone who has ever worked at a movie theater. If no one shows up for any of the last showings, do they close and go home early, or do they have to run the films and stay anyway?

Anyone see "Sugar" ? Saw it last night and thought it was a really nice movie and well written.

Queued this one up for near future viewing.

Ha. I've wondered the same thing. I don't think they would want to wear a print down if they don't have to.

Yep, really enoyed it.

Why did he make that choice in the end?

A few days ago I mentioned in another thread that I would be watching Downfall because Netflix had been suggesting it to me (someone had posted a video clip from the movie).

 

It was a really great movie. It's kind of hard to describe why it was so good. It sort of gave you a view of how Hitler's closest followers viewed him, especially towards the very end of the war right before he killed himself.

Is this the movie with the clip where Hitler is mad at the Cubs/Yankees/ Red Sox/every major league team in every pro sport?

I finally saw the unedited version of Waiting. I had seen it before on Comedy Central, but was not done justice that way. Great comedy.

Inglorious Basterds was both good and bad. Certain individual scenes were great - the acting and dialogue in the scenes of building tension were done very well. Everything else was a disaster, and the whole thing put together didn't feel like a film at all. Tarantino seems to have lost his was in recent films.

Whoah. Care to explain?

Funny stuff. Especially if you've ever worked in a restaurant.

Whoah. Care to explain?

What's to explain? Other than a few well-done scenes of pre-violent tension (

the french house, the basement bar),

everything else was laughably stupid dialogue combined with either pointless violence and/or overly blatant attempts at art. It was all just so ham-fisted and blunt, it could have been written by a 12 year old. Which is why it was so odd that SOME scenes, usually when they had less dialogue and more non-verbal acting, were so well done.

I couldn't disagree more. I was thoroughly entertained and engrossed in each scene from beginning to end.

I think that Tarantino does this to people. He tends to engender a strong like or dislike.

 

I liked Pulp Fiction a lot, and Reservoir Dogs was good. Kill Bill movies were terrible, and this one was only a little better.

 

I also could not disagree more, NSS.

Yes.

Well, the whole world seems to disagree with you, but you're entitled to your opinion...as wrong as it clearly is.

Yes.

I'll happily wear that. My opinion on films won't agree with the majority all the time.

Yeah, it's sooooo funny to see people showing off their genetalia and contaminating people's food. Why did everyone flip out when that Domino's video was released? (just got done watching a segment on Inside Edition.)

Well, one was real, and one was a movie. Im sure you hated road trip because of the food contamination scene at the truck stop as well. And Super Troopers. That movie was also horrible because of the scene where the fake burger joint spit in the cops burger.

1. The claim was made that the movie about food service is especially funny if you've ever work at (a real life) restaurant. That's not the only time I've seen that claim made.

 

2. Super Troopers and Road Trip weren't movies about the food service industry.

 

3. Super Troopers and Road Trip (American Pie 2.5) weren't good movies because they weren't that funny.

 

4. You fail.

Wow, who peed in your Cheerios?. . . or, do you even really want to know??

 

 

Went and saw Ponyo yesterday. Absolutely terrific, beautiful film.

 

I need to search out all of Hayao Miyazaki's stuff, I think Princess Mononoke is the only other film of his I've seen.
