This is not some kind of a fanboyish defense by me, I'm just offering another perspective when it's clear that people are dismissing a film mostly out of ignorance.

You are a complete tool. Fucking hell.

Seriously, how much of a pretentious wanker ARE YOU!? We give opinions in here, which YOU AGREE WITH, and yet we're Ignorant?!?

I don't think I should even reply to this shitpost.

I'm not sure which opinions of yours have I agreed with. If we're still talking about Melancholia, I disagreed with pretty much everything you said and actually backed it up. Your opinion was a complete mess that you haven't been able to clear up so I assumed it was ignorance.

Learn to fucking read and stop embarassing yourself.

Speed, while we disagree on some movies, I like that you have a reason for your opinions, and I really like your ability to see things for what they are instead of trying to make them fit your expectations.

Yah, speed's posts are good reading for sure.


I finally caught Shame in the theater tonight. My first impressions: the cinematography was such a joy to behold. Almost every shot seemed so beautifully constructed. The film's color palette really lent to the overall atmosphere. Carey Mulligan was OK in it - at times I felt as though she was over-acting. Perhaps my main issue with her character was an inability to empathize with her hysterical cellphone breakdown. Then again, that might've actually been the point: seeing it in the same way Fassbender did, reacting with the same strange mix of disgust, loathing, and sympathy. Fassbender was simply flawless in it and if he loses out in the oscar race to some shmuck (clooney in descendants or pitt in moneyball) i'm gonna be very displeased.

good to hear you liked it. I've been hearing positive things about 'Shame' especially for up and coming UK director Steve McQueen. As for the best actor award, the only person I think I wouldn't be displeased Fassbender to lose to is Jean DuJardin('The Artist').

I'd love to see Shame but I need to wait one more month. Sometimes I hate living in Central Europe where we get a lot of the good films weeks later. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo just premiered last Thursday - a very good analytical film, I liked it a lot. Though I'm not sure if Fincher should be wasting time doing adaptations of airport-fiction novels when he's pretty much at his best right now.

I do agree with this. I do feel he's just mailing it in since 'Zodiac'. We'll see what happens since he has plenty of projects on his plate the next couple of years.

Can anyone identify this movie? I can remember that it was low budget and it was set in a prison. Basically it centered around a prisoner that is building an air balloon to escape the prison. And in the end he does lift off in the air balloon weeks past and he returns to the jail. He tells his friends that are inmates that he does not belong outside in the normal society.

Anybody? My only other memory is that all the actors are unknowns but they acted extremely good for being a bunch of delta force commandos.

Saw Hugo yesterday, was pretty good. I liked the film history in it. Seeing those films, like train entering station and women leaving factory was pretty cool on a big screen.

Oh yeah, you got it right. Thanks for that.

Did you know they were delta force commandos?

I thought Brad did a great job in Moneyball. Not Oscar-worthy, but a very good performance.
