  1. Minority Report could have been great if it ended when War or the Worlds was just ok. I could have done without the whole part with Tim Robbins, just seemed unnecessary. Also, the ending was lame. Spielberg ruins his movies by insisting on happy endings. Nothing he does will ever be as good as Schindler's List. That's the only movie I'm not ashamed to tell people that I've cried watching.
  2. Don't forget the awesome performance of Tim Curry
  3. I haven't seen it, but a friend recommended it to me. He also said the director plans to complete a triology that takes place at the same school, but using two other classic works of literature.
  4. boooooo
  5. I recommend it, only if you have a strong stomach.
  6. I don't know what you were expecting with that scene. I think it's a great example of Takashi Miike using restraint and letting your imagination do the rest. This is doubly so considering Miike has made some of the goriest films I've ever seen like Ichi the Killer.
  7. Zombieland was indeed good. The Dawn of the Dead remake was a competent horror film, but doesn't come close to the original. I like my zombie movies sprinkled with social commentary.
  8. It's not my fault you're a philistine
  9. Awful
  10. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. No He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not is a French film starring Audrey Tautou who is in love with a married man. He seems like a jerk until the movie changes to his point of view.
  12. I feel like I should mention that the movies I listed are all subtitled. If you hate reading movies, you don't deserve to watch them anyway.
  13. I've recently grown fond of Danish movies despite the fact that I always want to drive my car headfirst into a tree after watching them. Here's a few that I would highly recommend: The Green Butchers - A dark comedy about two friends who open up a butcher shop and through a series of mishaps, end up secretly serving human flesh...and they get very popular. Adam's Apples - Another dark comedy about a perpetually optimistic man who runs a halfway house for ex-cons, and a new boarder who tries to break his spirit. The Kingdom - A horror tv show by Lars Von Trier that takes place in a hospital that's being haunted by spirits. This was the inspiration for Stephen King's "Kingdom Hospital" The Celebration - A drama centering on a father's 60th birthday with family and friends at the hotel he owns. Things go awry when the eldest son brings up a dark secret from his childhood. (This is considered Denmark's greatest movie. It makes sense when you consider that it's commonplace for Danish families never to mention bad things that have happened in the past) Withering Lights - Along with his three accomplices, a low-level gangster steals a large amount of money for his boss, and then runs away with it. While lying low in the middle of nowhere, he falls in love with the place and tries to open a restaurant. Also anything else by Lars Von Trier...except Antichrist. Don't watch that.

  17. Spoiler Alert:
  18. Now that I own a bicycle do I get to start acting like I'm better than everyone else?

      I own a bubble-gum pink bike my sister used to own... At least I didn't have to pay for it.

  19. More like Chairman of the BORED
  20. When I get my degree from Harvard (County Community College) I'm going to become the CEO of GM.
  21. That's because GM doesn't make cars per se. They're more ****boxes.
  22. Nobody is better than Frank Zappa
