I implore all of you, please do not watch the Academy Awards this year. Let them suffer, drastically!
Just returned home from seeing "The Artist". As with the majority of films from last year, what's the big deal here? It was disappointingly meh.
Isn't this always the case with the movie that is being considered "front runner" for Best Picture?
Just watched "The People Vs. George Lucas". Pretty good, but how the movie never talks about Lucas making the new trilogy for kids (mentioned briefly), vs. that he made the first one for himself, not kids, is a huge oversight.
I don't buy Lucas' bullshit theory that he made the prequels for kids - you don't make a kids movie about tariffs and trade federations and taxation routes, etc. Unless you want to put kids to sleep. He added the kiddie stuff for merchandising, plain and simple.
Oh Power Rangers, I know you aren't good, but I enjoy you anyways.
Reminder to everyone = tomorrow is the bad movie party! Starts at 2pm! Come be shocked and awe at how insipid some filmmakers in fact are!
"Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" was a great surprise! Not quite perfect, but damn fun.
Thank goodness for "HP 7.2" and "Captain America". The summer (movie-wise) has finally arrived! The mediocre shitstorm seems to be going away!
Well I personally loved the hell out of Super 8 to but otherwise I'm totally with you on that HP 7.2
I enjoyed a few other movies as well, X-Men First Class, Bridesmaids, and Thor being included in that.
Just found out that directors are done with their films as soon as the cameras stop rolling. They don't help edit, or oversee the visual effects, or the music, or ya know, any of post-production. Who fucking knew?
I know you're being in jest, however I know of at least one director that meets that criteria - David Fincher on ALIEN3. Who knows how far he went once filming was done, he didn't even bother finishing with editing the film. His choice. But, that's a long story...

Unless we're talking Robert Rodriguez who writes, directs, edits, does the music, the makeup, costumes, boom mic operating, visual effects supervising, and catering.
A) I reposted as I noticed I typed "preproduction" instead of "post-production", like I meant to.
B) I am being a sarcastic asshole right now. This idiot earlier said that the pacing of the movie was from the editors and that bad visual effects should be blamed on the artists working on them, and not on the director, whom oversees all that stuff. Since I am dickhead (please refer to my "Moulin Rouge is a rom-com" update for further) I decided to take it out of the comments and snark here.
A) even still
but now that I know you were joking that really doesn't matter :P well done, well you fooled me! lol
"Sucker Punch" extended cut was damn awesome!
I hope you're right... but I'm going to wait for a few more opinions before I take that leap of faith. What's different about it?
Since when did not liking a more cartoony take on a comic book movie automatically mean you don't like any cartoony takes, and must love the more realistic versions? Can't bad movies be bad, and good movies be good? Since when did it became all or nothing?
For the record, I thought "Thor", which was cartoony was excellent, and I don't much care for Nolan's "Batman" movies (sacrilege I know). "Green Lantern" just happened to suck, imo. There's nothing more to it than that.
Vicious circle,. Someones mad at your opinion, and your all bent out of shape about their opinion of your opinion, and someone will have their own opinion about your opinion about someone elses opinion.

Favorite film by each director in the top 20 community lists
Based on a list by lordtyler912
Halfway Point: Bottom 5 of 2011
I agree with three of these. I havent seen Rango yet I want to. I really hope Green Lantern isn't Bad enough to put on this list
Vitaman, more power to ya, but it is the worst movie I have ever endured.
JCov, unfortunately, GL was one helluva of a mess, imo.











Yeah, I didn't think it was all that great. Good, yes, but not the best movie ever like people are saying
