Ok wtf guys. I watched A Clockwork Orange. I even got the message and metaphorical hoo-haa. And I didn't like it very much.
WHY DO YOU GUYS LIKE IT SO MUCH?
It kicks ass.

No. It was horrendously long and boring. Didn't kick ass at all. It reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Horribly boring, with a tiny bit of win, and far longer than it needed to be.

It's a trippy thrillride of mindintercourse s and imagery. Its themes wouldn't hit as hard as they do without Kubrick's twisted direction and McDowell's awesome performance. Boring my ass. Granted it's a lot to absorb if you go in completely unfamiliar with the book

I'm disgusted. The villains in the new Red Dawn were changed from the Chinese to the North Koreans. What's the point? That's totally unrealistic, and bashing North Koreans is just dumb. I was so excited for a movie to finally raise American awareness about the Chinese.

Not much of a movie guy so most of my favorite movies are movies that friends have shown me or ones I grew up with. My problem with movies is that if it was terrible you pretty much just wasted an hour or two of your life.
I agree with the wasting your time thing. I would've listed V for Vendetta, Liar Liar, and a the Pixar films that I've seen, but like I said, I only listed most of my favorite movies.
My e-pen pal wants me to see American History X.
Also, I really want to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Requiem for a Dream.
Here's a short list of movies I would watch over and over again:
*Se7en
*Fight Club
*Memento
*The Sixth Sense
*The Silence of the Lambs
Of course I like a poop load of other movies, but those are the first five that come to my head. And I've probably seen each of them at least twice.
I thought Wall-E was dumb.

Yeah, except multitasking while using an internet forum is quite easy. Books, not so much. Though I have done it before, when I've read required reading. lol

I intercourse ing hate the gosh darn Rocky Horror intercourse ing Picture Show. Stupid camp poop, earintercourse ingly horrible songs and it's never even ironically funny, holy cocks.
Not much of a Tim Burton fan either but I liked Big Fish.
Rocky Horror definitely isn't for everyone. People tend to either love it or hate it.
I watched it over and over again when I was little (like younger than 5) so it kind of stuck with me.

Fuck Tim Burton. Every Goddarn movie is an emo Deviant Artists wet dream. So much intercourse ing goth style there's barely a movie in there.
Dud should have never touched Batman. That's all I'm saying.

meh not much of a movie guy. I usually end up incredibly disappointed and then there goes an hour or two of my life.
I will end up checking it out though
and yet you happen to be an anime guy, which takes far more out of your life for a lesser effect

lol not hardly. Stories in the anime I like are typically grand in scale. Movies usually try far too hard to stuff as much poop in in the shortest amount of time possible. This is poopty. You can't argue this.
Its more like I'm not a "movie guy" because I hate watching movies by myself.

Your logic is pretty poopty if you like to read books, j/s.
It shouldn't be difficult to understand why someone enjoys a story that's longer than an average 90 minutes that most movies are.

you know I was going to write a long post about this that listed good and bad books that probably would've mad off someone, but instead I'll just tell you that you're flowery up your own poop hole and out your nostrils if you think that stories only get better with more development. if you can tell the same story in two different ways, which would you want, the shorter version or the longer version? this comparison can be made akin to the difference between watching the movie or reading the book.
the correct answer is investing your time into whichever one is better. make an argument that doesn't assume that length = quality and then I'll put on my tryhard glasses
also I do like to read books, for the record.
I'm not saying length=quality. I do enjoy development and long plots but its not like I'm saying its the way to go over shorter one-shot films.
I'm just saying that I only find myself watching movies with other people and not by myself. It's a social thing for me I guess, and I'm always open to new suggestions.

meh, stories are more memorable the longer they go on
and you get more out of them when you watch them over and over as opposed to watching 120 minutes of a story over and over

well then you can go intercourse [spoiler]ing have a great time then and live with the difference in opinion with me, compadre[/spoiler]
So I thought I'd sort of revive this thread since I've been watching a lot of movies lately. Here's the list:
- Shaun of the Dead
- Psycho
- Night of the Living Dead
- all but the last half hour of Night of the Creeps (the Crackle.com video wasn't working)
- Drunken Master
- Drunken Master 2
- Enter the Dragon
- Firefly (I watched the pilot of the TV series, which was 83 minutes long, so I'm including it anyway)
I enjoyed all of them.
