The Official Movie Thread

[unknown]

if you'd watch the ENTIRE film, you would be able to make a more credible judgment of the film and see that the point of the film stresses the importance of man's ability to distinguish right and wrong. The fact that he has the ability is what makes him human. when he is deprived of this, he is turned into a machine.

I'll try again one day... but this time I'll be shit faced. I need something to help me get to the point where it's tolerable and has a point.

 

[unknown]

and trust me, there are films with WAY more gratuitous violence with no purpose at all.

 

[seedofvengeance]

And I didn't like them either...

 

[unknown]

you're one of those "moral" and "ethical" people who have a "conscience" aren't you?

To rape and steal in face paint?

Is this one of those movies I need to be hammered to watch? Because I was 100% sober, and I'm beginning to think that was why.

If you read the ending of the book, you'll see the point

I need some kind of plot to make a movie interesting... Gratuitous violence bores me at a point.

 

[Ender Rises]

Define gratuitous. Was 300 too much violence? Was Live Free or Die Hard?

 

[The Ozzman]

ET was too much violence for him

 

[seedofvengeance]

There was a plot behind them... and the violence was cool, not stupid and unnecessary.

For example... I hate almost every horror movie ever made.

 

[Vilden]

A Clockwork Orange has a plot too? And the violence in it is not stupid and unnecessary. I'm not a big fan of it myself but you really need to watch the whole movie before you splurt out uninformed comments, because you make yourself look like an idiot.

All I'm saying are the first 45 minutes are possibly the most boring 45 minutes of television I have ever experienced...
This comes from a man who watched part of Police Academy the other day because nothing was one.

 

[Ender Rises]

At least you have cable.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Yes, but you have the ability to download... which I don't, due to my housing status.

Piracy is fun, especially for us poor people.

I need a fucking job...

 

[seedofvengeance]

From the 45 minutes or Police Academy?


For everyone's information... I will try ACO again some time before Monday... will come back with thoughts.

 

[Satanstoenail]

From the 45 minutes or Police Academy?

Both. Your ability to appreciate good cinema is in need of attention. Try this: when watching a movie, try taking it all in and actually thinking instead of just watching everything moment by moment and scene by scene without analysing anything below the surface. Movies where the plot isn't handed to you on a platter are usually the most rewarding.
