haha you're cute when you're trolling people. i agree that Forman demands our respect but Amadeus is a boring piece of Eurotrash that is incredibly dated and ages poorly unlike his othet works

[evollove]

I had AMADEUS on VHS when I was, like, 12. Watched it a million times. Re-watched it a year or so ago and still loved it. Fools.

Rock me amadeus

[ilduclo]

watch the Music Lovers instead, Ken Russell. Richard Chamberlain and Glenda Jackson

i saw amadeus on netflix. i thought it was alright. square in the middle. well made film, but not a masterpiece.

what's wrong with comedies and cartoons? i like to be amused.

I'm not talking about Milos Forman. I'm talking about a film that he unfortunately directed. An entertaining novelty that doesn't deserve half the praise that's heaped upon it.

You must be joking, you oaf, because you almost sound like a closet classist when you suggest that I — one of the common people who enjoys silly things like... animation — (?) am "not equipped" to talk about Milos Forman. You're gonna have to dig a lot deeper into the social shitpile of humanity to find someone who doesn't know The People Vs. Larry Flynt, Loves of a Blonde, Man on the Moon, or One Flew Over the mother-fucking Cuckoo's Nest, for fuck's sake. Only one of the world's most popular films, that. Do you feel fancy now, you caviar eating pig?

"Not equipped." Jesus Fuck. That was embarrassing for you.

Symbols is pulling a Mr. Hyde on us. He's having a laugh, or, as SFAD put it, trolling, because this is not what he's like.

OR this is what he's like. In which case, I can only conclude that he's a good deal less intelligent than I believed him to be. Also, more of a big fat fucking asshole.

Tip-tip, cheerio Slambang! Enjoy those limo rides! Hopin' I didn't give nu offense to ya, sir!

I need to go backyard wrestle my cousin-brother and all the neighborhood imbeciles now, on account o' we ain't headsmart.

... 'Cause I ain't equipped to talk about fucking Amadeus.

oh good you have a more realistic interpretation of !@#$!, he IS generally more intelligent than that BUT he is always game to get himself way in over his head in a trolling battle.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

couldn't we talk more about Tarantino again?

Creepozoids

No budget 80s monster movie with Linnea Quigley and a weird scary baby thing at the end. A cross between The Thing and Escape From New York. It should be awful and even by its own standards it sort of is. But I loved it all the same, mainly for the weird scary baby, but also just cos it exists.

The Sand

1st 10 minutes I almost turned this off but I stuck with it and ended up really liking it. I'd have been happy enough if it just fell into the so bad its good category but it's far better than that.

 

Frankenhooker

I love Frank Henenlotter and I put this only just behind the 1st Basket Case as my fave of his. To think that Driving Miss Daisy won the Oscar for best film that year.

I don't do troll battles. Unless they're with you.

What !@#$! said irritated me because it was so out of character it was not event believable.. He and I go back a bit. We're "friends." At least, we're as close to such a thing as is possible in a place like this. So I do think I have a realistic interpretarion of the guy, but that shit was a fail. Slambang needs to learn a thing or two about trolling if he's going to troll.

Slamba-- actually, fuck it, "Slambang" was a term of endearment. So Symbols Guy.

If'n it pleases m'lord.

Yeah!

Why the hell haven't you watched Django Unchained yet? Now I'm dying to know what you'll think. I've seen it twice and it ranks among my favorites. Christoph Waltz almost outdoes his incredibly Inglorious Basterds performance with his portrayal of Dr. King Schultz. And Leo is no slouch either. Possibly my favorite performance of his.

Watch that shit!

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

i just didn't find any interest in it and frankly i just don't enjoy slavery themed flicks, whether slightly comical or soberly serious. i finally dragged myself through Twelve Years a Slave which of course was a masterpiece but i had to resist the urge to put my foot through the tv several times.

Yeah, but it's a Tarantino film. You know you're curious. You have to be. Oh wel, do what you want, but the film is more of a gritty revenge flick than a "slavery film." It shares a lot of DNA with Kill Bill. Must watch, I say. Definite must watch.

[tw2113]

I've seen more Tarantino films than I first realized. Both Kill Bill's, Death Proof, and Inglourious Basterds. At first I thought it was just the Bill movies, but I decided to double check his resume.

Nothing before or after those 4.

that's exactly how i felt about your asinine evaluation of a movie that went over your head

i mean you spend countless pages discussing the ins and outs of movies about men in tights, but for a great film adaptation of a great play with the best role ever for f. murray abraham, a fantastic score, spectacular cinematography and an insane period recreation through sets and costumes, and even operas on display, all to serve a mythical-level depiction of envy and jealousy and resentment in the face of genius that has left its mark in the culture---and all you have to say is "blah"?

maybe if mozart wore a gold cape and salieri had radioactive tentacles coming out of his head and they fought over cgi backgrounds you'd offer some analysis

i'm not saying liking it is mandatory, as tastes vary wildly; but to dismiss this huge work so overconfidently betrays massive ignorance for someone who wants to write about film. or, in the words of omar little, come at the king, you best not miss.
