And all three of you that have seen it agree with you. Hooray. If I cared I would have voted. If I cared I wouldn't have said, twice, that I didn't care. Shit, if I can't bitch on the internet, where can I?

Go, Go Second Time Virgin is actually a pretty trashy film. Not pretentious at all. I say this as a fan.
Yeah, I dug the movie. Especially the reveal about the boy's character.
I like Jim Sheridan but man oh man was Brothers terrible. Maguire, Portman and Gyllenhaal all do fine work but the film is so cornball and heavy-handed at every single possible turn. It also commits the worst crime that a melodrama can commit; not saying anything and just being an exercise in Oscar clips.
Yeah, way to go. Name this thread after a movie that sounds really interesting -- and that isn't available on Netflix.
Heh. I'm amused considering I watched The Crazies remake this month. It just didn't crack my Top 10 for Viewing on the year, but it was very good-a review of it is due, eventually. So I guess we changed the thread on time, eh? :P
I aim to please.
Hey Spun, your Black Dynamite rating is pleasing to the eye. Hilarious movie.
This Bruno Dumont guy is impressing me.
I'm loving my film class.
We watched The American Friend today.
Holy damn! That film kicks so much ass.
Weekend:
Halloween 2 (2009)
Jandek on Corwood
The Life of Oharu (belated 2nd viewing, 35mm print!)
Did anyone see Bigger Faster Stronger*? The film maker's all conflicted over whether to do steroids because he thinks it might be cheating. I think a better reason he should have for not doing steroids is that his steroid-addled brothers look like monsters.
How did Match Cut get stuck with this reputation of pretention and artsnobbery? It seems to me we discuss horror and superhero and A-list Hollywood movies more than we do practically any other kind of cinema.
Yeah, I think a 57-page thread about Avatar (and a 92-page thread about The Dark Knight) gives lie to Match-Cut's supposed snobbery.
I've grown to really like the environment here - those two threads you mention feature very intelligent, thought-out responses and arguments regarding the films in question. Damn near any other forum, you'd have to sift through the fanboyism.
And as for the "snobbish" films...well, the posters here have incidentally led me to films like Eyes Without a Face, Wings of Desire, Rashomon, and Memories of Murder, so I'm not seeing a problem here.
