I used to just blatantly say this movie sucked. But after watching it again (a couple times) I just realized it sucks as a batman movie. As some weird trippy christmas movie that features a bunch of distorted batman characters, it's actually pretty good. I really would have liked to see tim burton do a 3rd featuring the scarecrow (howard stern or not)AppleQueso wrote:Batman Returns
What the hell did I just watch? The atmosphere, production design, music, etc was all awesome, but geez, nothing made ANY sense at all. Story was confusing, a majority of the characters were unlikable, etc.
On the other hand, there a certain appeal in the sheer level of 'weirdness' in this movie. I happen to really like weird shit.
So yeah I don't know man. Very flawed movie with some really cool ambiance.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
I watched Rango last night. For me, it's tied with The Spongebob Movie as Nickelodeon's best movie. Quite good, and I liked how it didn't try to emulate Pixar and Dreamwork's art style like so many other movies have. Plus, I appreciated the fact that it was aimed at a rather older audience than, say, Ice Age or Open Season or most of those other non-Pixar/Dreamworks CGI movies have been. This is my pick for movie of the year so far, as I enjoyed it more than Kung Fu Panda 2.

open water
i remember seeing the trailer for this on TV when it first was being played in theaters. i thought it looked interesting and all these years later i finally sat down and watched it.
the first thing i noticed was the shitty "quality." it definitively has the i-didn't-spend-a-lot-of-money look to it. a highlight in the film was the totally random nude scene. overall, it was an okay movie. it definitely got me thinking what i would do and how i would react if i was in a similar situation.

If your a misogynist, like me, then you would have thoroughly enjoyed the film.KillerJuan77 wrote:Same here, not sure why people love Von Trier so much, plus I hate how snobby critics love Antichrist yet they see something like Cannibal Holocaust, I Spit On Your Grave or A Serbian Film and they just say "IM OFFENDED AND DISGUSTED 1 STAR YOU SUCK AT LIFE AND FILMMAKING".noiseredux wrote:I thought it was the worst movie I've watched.

Yeah, the film tried to be serious and shit but it just tried too hard to shock you.
But in all seriousness I did enjoy the film and I thought Cannibal Holocaust was liked by critics but just universally hated for the animal scenes.

Actually yes, even though people consider it's OK to kill a spider IRL just because they are ugly but as soon as you make a film which shows that because it can it's sickening and immoralOldSchool_Boy wrote:But in all seriousness I did enjoy the film and I thought Cannibal Holocaust was liked by critics but just universally hated for the animal scenes.
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Apocalypse Now also has the slaughtered water buffalo bit, which ended up getting it a poor rating from the American Humane Association, but beyond that I've never heard much of a stink about it. I guess it just comes down to people's consideration of the rest of the film.KillerJuan77 wrote:Actually yes, even though people consider it's OK to kill a spider IRL just because they are ugly but as soon as you make a film which shows that because it can it's sickening and immoralOldSchool_Boy wrote:But in all seriousness I did enjoy the film and I thought Cannibal Holocaust was liked by critics but just universally hated for the animal scenes..

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
But I think that the water buffalo was not shot for the film but rather it was going to happen and they decided to film it. In Cannibal Holocaust, the animals were killed for the film and KillerJuan77, I understand what your saying but I'm thinking the turtle scene was what most people remember and disgusted by it.Ack wrote:Apocalypse Now also has the slaughtered water buffalo bit, which ended up getting it a poor rating from the American Humane Association, but beyond that I've never heard much of a stink about it.

If I didn't know any better, I'd wager that Tim Burton wrote an entirely different story and decided like halfway through to turn it into his new Batman film.
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
THE AVENGERS teaser has been linked online. I'd post a link, but I'm sure the video will be taken down any second.
It looks like a lot of fun, but the best part about it is the tag line, which pretty much is the best tag line ever...
"Some assembly required"

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.
