My daughter made my wife and I watch it because, "It was even funnier than Hangover". It was just a chick flick with a little crude in it. Barely laughed.
Just not what was billed.

The posse scene in Django is one of the funnier scenes I've seen in a long time, and it's done in a satirical way. It's genius, and so clever. Quentin doesn't need to kill 700 people in the course of 5 minutes in fantastical sprays of blood, he's got skills so far beyond that.
If the whole movie had been like the opening scene, I would think it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Waltz is just amazing. But the gore was just unnecessary and took away from the actual value of the movie. The whole movie theater thing was just asinine.
Yes. Another one. There are amazing individual scenes, and some of the violence adds to it - but the scene where The Bride kills Gogo and maybe 5000 other people in that big room is just dumb. Do the scenes like O'ren Shii as a little girl, or the whole Vernita Green scene - but when you have dozens of people getting decapitated, it's just dumb.
I don't think I would want to live in a world where every movie has Tarantino levels of violence, but I do respect the fact that these seem to be the movies he wants to make and he's managed to put himself in a position where that's all the criteria he needs to meet in order for it to be put on film. It would bother me a lot more if I thought the violence was there because he thought it was the only reason people would pay attention to the film.
You do realize that this is how the genre works, right? That whole fight is an homage to an entire genre of movies, and it's done perfectly.
Guarantee about this thread, hipsters take over and talk about how actual good to great movies are overrated. Enjoy your little sundance films while I enjoy movies that actually make money.
I don't think a lot of people get American Psycho because it's so manic - it'll be so understated that some people think it's boring, and then it will flip and be a totally different movie. I loved it, but it always ticks me off a little that they changed it so much from the book. You sort of had to, though.
The book made me feel sick and empty. The movie made me feel tired.
And that's totally valid. He is well-known and successful enough that he can do whatever he wants. It just baffles me that he would want to do it.You put it well.
Oh, I agree, the book is soulless. It makes you just utterly disgusted.
Whaaat? P&P is amazing - what version did you watch? Did you not like the story, or was it a certain production? I hate most chick flicks, but that is a classic work of literature that translates well to the screen.
Titanic. I can remember all the hype and my wife begging me to watch it. I finally relented, and mid-way through I was ready to gouge out my eyes with a dull pencil.
Tree of Life. Critically acclaimed, artsy fartsy piece of acid trip induced ****.
I've tried to watch this one twice - never could finish it it was so bad.Napoleon Dynamite.
Love some stoner humor, but Grandma's Boy was gawd-awful. I also hated any the Ace Ventura movies.
Hunger Games-Reminds me of a 1980's Steven Segal type flick but with a halfway decent looking girl.
Lost in Translation might be the worst movie I have ever watched. It was like two hours of boring. I love love love Bill Murray. However, whe it was over the wife and I agreed that we just wasted two hours to watch nothing happening and no ending.
