[Goreripper]

Bush should be a shoo-in for those.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

From Dusk Til Dawn and Super Mario Bros are great.

Hulk and Troy weren't bad.

I haven't seen a lot of the crap you speak of in this thread though.

Magnolia pissed me off because for the main duration of the film I really enjoyed it, but it had one of the worst endings I have ever seen. It was complete rubbish.

 

[MeKaChrOme]

Troy I thought was ordinary, given the potential the story had. Brad Pitt as Achilles

 

[Southy]

I think you all might watch too many movies

 

[spawn]

I thought Troy was alright. Hulk however, was beyond awful.

 

[Stonewall]

I quite like Legends of the Fall...

Red Dawn is fairly bad, well actually really bad, but it does have Patrick Swayze and a brutal opening scene.

 

[phlogiston]

I watched Hulk today! To begin with I was wondering why everyone ragged on it so much. At the end I started to understand.

 

[Spiff]

I think Ang Lee (who is such a GREAT director) made the mistake of trying not to make a typical comic book film, which is what the material required. It was very risky and I admire him for it. It's not a bad film in my opinion - flawed, yes, and the last half hour is a dog's breakfast - but it could have been much better.

 

[Connie Fixx]

i know where my shoes are

 

[Goreripper]

I thought Troy was ok, but the liberties that were taken with the story just annoyed me.

 

[Wrathchild]

Gore, do a search for a thread called "It's a Bird, It's A Plane, It's Non-Threatening Comedy Relief Guy" from just under three years ago. There you will find all you need to know, sadly.

[spawn]

Why does everyone worry if there were liberties taken with a historical story? King Arthur was nowhere NEAR accurate (I think Hadrians Wall was knocked down about 300 years before it was set or something) but it doesnt matter... ITS A MOVIE! FICTION, PEOPLE!

Ben Hur, Troy, The Ten Commandments, King Arthur...They arent meant to be documentaries, they are fictional movies inspired by real events

I dont think Leo and Kate were actually on the Titanic but nobody complained (Well, except those who hated the movie).

 

[phlogiston]

Errr...you do know that none of those examples you gave really happened, don't you spawn? Although I do take your point, and agree with it.

 

[spawn]

Well, King Arthur was real, and Troy was "based" on real events wasnt it? Or "inspired by the legend" of what happened or whatever... Didnt Sparta and those other guys go to war over her?

I see your point with The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur, but you knew what I was getting at

 

[phlogiston]

King Arthur wasn't real. There *may* have been some basis for him, but there was never a "King of all England" called Arthur. The current popular theory is that one of the early "Kings", (who were in reality just warlords) united a few clans around 600 - 700 AD and had a name that kinda sounded a bit like Arthur, and the legend just grew with the telling.

http://www.britannia.com/history/h6f.html

And it's only recently (i.e. the last 5 years or so) that they've found *any* historical basis for the story of Troy, and that's basically just a city with a wall on beach where a battle was fought at about the right time. There aren't even any historical records about that whole war other than what Homer wrote about it in "The Illiad". Anything with mermaids, harpys and ancient gods in it can be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[Wenda]

I did not know this, I thought Karyn was still living in brisbane.

Did this happen in that 1 week when I didn't have the net?

How do people expect me to make crude jokes when you don't inform me of these things?

Well I didn't make much of a song and dance about it Ja, I am the most recent denizen of the metal house; I moved back to Sydney in November. Is that better?

 

[spawn]

Grain of salt? But phloggy, what will I worship if not the ancient gods? Myself? And what a cartoon character has to do with this I have no idea.

Im glad you smashed my dreams about Arthur finding the holy grail and everything. Grave Digger has been lying to me all this time You probably tell kids the Easter Bunny isnt real too dont you

But he did exist, well probably, and the legends are what the movie is based on, so its based on the fact of a legend. Like The Ten Commandments

 

[phlogiston]

Actually from what I understand the movie is actually closer to the truth than the legends. I haven't seen it myself, but it's not all guys wandering around in armour and being all chivalrous and knightly is it? It's a rag-tag group of guys fighting in mud,

 

[spawn]

Well, they fight in mud, but they are always going on about being chivalrous and honourable

But it rocks, I already reviewed it and it got 8/10! Go get it on dvd!
