Greedy Artists Ruining Movies!

Or Machete. Machete was a fun movie. XD

 

I hate Tarentino flix. Gory violence for violence sake. I wish Hollywood would get over that shit. All they seem to do is try to make the next more graphic than the last.

I can take a certain amount of it if it's pertinent to the plot line, but they don't have to be so graphic about it.

Seeing someone get their head split open or be disemboweled is not my idea of entertainment

 

Sounds like my type of flick though. Personally I find most other genres to be full of rubbish. I've yet to see a decent movie based on a comic book. No real idea why they're so popular. The recreation of favorite childhood characters? It's all shit to me.
My missus and I when we used to rent movies always went for the worst things we could find. B grade horror with senseless violence. They were always good for a laugh. The last "new" movie I remember enjoying was 2 Guns. Simple action with some sarcastic comedy.

 

Have you seen Fury? That was a very good and realistic portrayal of tank warfare in ww2

:rofl:
:rofl:

.......



:rofl:

 

It was a terrible representation of warfare. I didn't expect much from an American point of view starring Brad Pitt but it was pathetic. The final battle was a classic masterpiece of just crap. 4 guys stuck in a tank that doesn't work with a handful of ammunition almost... almost defeats an entire battalion of SS.

:rofl:

It's embarrassing they expect people to buy that drama. Also one of the tank battles looked like a Battlefield 2 game developed by EA. Two tanks head to head doing circle work trying to shoot each other.

:rofl:

I would have loved my grandaddy who officer in Panzer divisions to have his say on that movie, I think it would have been priceless. I have a feeling he's rolling in his grave in fits of laughter as I type this. XD

 

The Coen bros make some of the best movies I've ever seen. Their re-make of True Grit was awesome, and I didn't even like the John Wayne version. Neither did the author of the original story, but gave a thumbs up to the Coen brothers version. Said the casting, dialogue, everything was much more true to his original vision.
Their "no country for old men" was a violent movie, but it wasn't overtly violent and the lead bad guy was one of the scariest I've ever seen.
"Fargo" is another Coen brothers masterpiece. I know these are all years old movies but I don't get out much these days and I don't have cable, lol

 

Oh my isnt that disgusting???

I HATE THAT ALSO!!!! Unpure garbage!!

 

Yes yes, we know, not explicitly nazi but nazi leanings and totally not racist but sort of very racist and germans>all and all that.

But let's not forget who won the war - who won the war roundly - who now occupies (however little I approve of this) germany, and pretty much the rest of the world.

And let's not forget who's just the setting for a little cold war squabble between the big boys - one side looted of everything that could possibly be uprooted and trucked back to russia in reparations, and one side saved and built up by, literally, jewish americans.


....just sayin'. I'm sure they were unfair to tank warfare, or whatever.

 

Not asking for history to be changed, bro. Just a realistic movie. =]

kthx.

 

Grapes of Wrath, Philadelphia Story, the musicals of the 40s, The Marx Brothers, Third Man, on and on---those were classic and still classic, among hundreds and hundreds of others. Story lines mattered and they were not dependent on people getting cut up, shit blowing up as the main purpose. Of course there are still good movies being made, but they aren't the "blockbuster" bullshit. They are in art house theaters and
places like the Sundance channel, as far as I'm concerned.

To me, movies have been cheapened. You don't have to think or contemplate much as to the meaning of most stories today---just wait until shit starts blowing up--and there you have the meaning.

(Stagecoach, Bus Stop, The Man Who Came to Dinner, Maytime=Nelson Eddy, Jeanette McDonald, WC Fields---again--on and on.

 

I can't stand when copyright shit ruins shows and movies either!

 

The Coen brothers first was a tight, interesting little murder drama and was very good=Blood Simple.

Raising Arizona, Oh Brother Where art Thou, Fargo, etc-----good stuff.

Shit like Transformers is tedious and boring. Stuff like Saw and the like----no way. I did like the new Mad Max because of the stunt work----one of my all time favorites is A Boy and His Dog. It's clever and a unique take on after -- the big one.



("get me another Michael and wipe that grin off his face."=A Boy and His Dog)

 

I forgot No Country for Old Men. ( the fuckin' edit would not work.)
