Rob, I love you, but Lynch is the best director around, so.... hmm.. his films are the furthest definition from "cinematic jerkoff" i've ever seen.

It's not overrated. Somethings get warranted honorable mentions.

300 is a huge sack of shit.

i collect them!
i have maybe 60 or 70
edit
now that i think about it with the price of them i would be awfully nuts to have that many and i have no idea where i would put them all. maybe 40 or 50. but yeah, they are all over my apartment, in the kitchen, living room, bedroom..

of course by orwell i prefer a touch of evil and the trial-- the trial! wow that is a fucking great movie.



Don't get me wrong. I love that film, but to say that it's the best movie ever made is going overboard. The statement in itself, is overrated.

for you are out of your wazoo.

spartacus? surely a piece of crap.

however:

barry lyndon? an underrated masterpiece without question.

dr. strangelove
? please, brother... that film is pure genius.

i won't go on and on. but the only cinematic turd kubrick ever issued was spartacus, and the one to blame for that is kirk douglas, not kubrick-- the fucker messed with the script, the production, the editing, etc.-- hammy motherfucker!



Agreed, but let's not forget that Eyes Wide Shut was probably his weakest film.

Barry Lyndon was great! Strangelove? No doubt about it being genius.

As for some of the things others have posted in this thread? I'm not even gonna bother making a comment.

You shouldn't be. After all, he wasn't dead a long time ago and still makes movies that people talk about a lot. Arguments or not.

atsonicpark 08.15.2007 03:27 AM

yeah, too bad about his half of grindhouse though. one of the worst things i've ever seen.

hardly, only about two of his films have any kind of rating whatsoever

atsonicpark 08.15.2007 05:33 AM

what?

are you kidding?

he's easily the most prolific asian director currently making films, he's made like a hundred films in 10 years, and anything he touches get cummed all over, even though he's only made 3 consistantly good films of the 11 i've seen. trust me on this one, everyone thinks whatever he touches is gold.

maybe things are different in america but the only two of his films that have had any kind of acclaim or attention in the uk are ichi the killer and audition, the rest of his stuff tends to get ignored, i don't i've ever heard of anyone who thinks all of his films are good, for two reasons, firstly because nobody has seen all of his films and secondly because even the biggest fanboy zealot would be bored rigid by the likes of agitator.

atsonicpark 08.15.2007 06:59 AM

oh i forgot you're from england, haha.

yeah.. uh.. everyone i know loves miike and i don't even hang out with anyone who's very cool!

come now pookie, there is no need to be so miserable.

SynthethicalY 08.15.2007 08:22 AM

I could never watch a musical. No matter how much I try. I feel like a defected queer.

Savage Clone 08.15.2007 08:30 AM

To be fair, I more or less accused Pookie of being a cheeseball for his defense of musicals; I never implied he was either bitter or twisted.

You've obviously never seen Mamma Mia. I've always thought that it would be rubbish because I felt that I'd hate musicals full stop, but when I went to see it, that was a total revelation. Theatre crowds are 90% crap, though, that's why some people assume that all musicals are horrid. If only audiences could laugh at appropriate moments (ie the ones when I feel like laughing, not them) it would be nicer that way.

Oh you are starting to sound like my lover. He always says that, I haven't watch the right ones.
