The Social Network, although good, will be as almost as overrated as Fight Club. 84/100

Just saw The Social Network last night and love it. The same can be said for Fight Club. Seven great as well and The Game was underrated. Zodiac was very good and Benjamin Button as well. Alien 3 suck and have not seen Panic Room yet.

I didn't care for Benjamin Button. Panic Room is very good though. And Alien 3 is underrated.

The Game is underrated

i been watching metal documentary films at mo and darkness falls,the haunting and practical magic lol x

The Game is underrated

Very true.

The Game is underrated

First half is brilliant; the second half, not so much.

Still haven't seen Benjamin Button.

Panic Room is loathsome as is Alien 3(though I will say he really did try with Alien 3).

Seven and Zodiac are still his two best.

I like Fight Club the least of all.

You hyperbolize. Panic Room may not have been the best film of the year or anything, but it was a decent, taut thriller.

Alien 3 was his debut feature-length, so that earns him some handicap points. In my opinion, it was a worthy initial effort.

I never hyperbolize. That film shouldn't even be in your list of Top 1000 taut thrillers.

You wanna watch a decent thriller, check out Southern Comfort or Dead Of Winter; and then tell me that Panic Room is decent. IMO, Panic Room is just about everything that is wrong with thrillers nowadays.

Anyone seen After Hours? What the fuck is this all about?

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

That's Scorcese being wacky(I'll take that schlock over Shutter Island any day though). Never you mind it. Griffin Dunne is great though.

You wanna see him in a great performance? Check out Warning: Parental Advisory where he plays a super cynical Frank Zappa. It was produced by MTV; but seriously it's a very entertaining watch.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Just watching it on tv. I like parts of it, but the entire thing seems really poorly edited and forced.

I really want to see Social Network again, I fucking loved it. It was so calm yet dramatic. Except I hate Aaron Sorkin he's a cock. I don't like his face.

Gonna head out and see Wall Street:Money Never Sleeps, I know it'll suck shit but A) Wall Street was awesome B) Love Michael Douglas C) Bored

IMO, Panic Room is miles beyond most tripe that gets produced in Hollywood.

I watched Event Horizon tonight for the first time in a few years. I bought it on blu-ray. Overall, I still enjoy it, but it could definitely be a lot better. The Solaris meets Hellraiser idea still tickles my fancy, but the film, overall, feels way too rushed. There's no time to really develop a brooding tension. It's just BAM HELL. and instead succumbs a lot to typical horror gags (loud noises, people popping up out of nowhere...)

Fine. But that's like saying that Flo, your favorite waitress at the Waffle House is miles beyond most of the waitresses at IHOP.

Just saw Get Him To The Greek. It was pretty mindless entertainment with some lol moments. Not bad but I was happy with it on a Sunday night with some beers & pizza.

 

[The Emptier]

Wall Street 2 wasn't that bad. could've used moar michael douglas.

 

[Badbird]

Watch John Adams from coming back to the Czech Republic. Very good series. Paul did a wonderful job as John Adams. Great score in the series. Recommend it to everyone.

Why is Fight Club your least favotite? Besides Seven and Social Network that my next favorite of his.

I watched Trick or Treat recently, the 80's film. I hadn't seen this before but it's a very cool and fun film!
