6. LITERALLY EVERYTHING Starwarsepisode7 says IS IRONIC.

i.e. making a thread about stupid reasons why people hate movies while he himself put that the reason he doesn't like A Clockwork Orange is because it's "just plain bad"

Couldn't agree more. For example, believe it or not, Gigli is not that bad. Is it great film making? Not by a longshot. Is it passable Saturday afternoon entertainment that's actually pretty funny? You bet.

I remember the general response from some of my friends who saw Alexander. They hated it because it was too gay. That was it. They thought the acting was good, and the battle scenes were good, but they only reason they gave as to why they hated it was because it too gay.

I understand if people don't like it because of pacing problems or because it was boring, but because it was too gay?? Give me a break. Personally, I think that's a stupid reason to dislike a movie, but to each his own.

The acting was good? Half the performances sucked (mainly Val Kilmer and Rosario Dawson).

I disagree. Most critics agree Val Kilmer gave the best performence.

having said that though, i must defend a few .. actually .. half the people here on one subject. There is also an increasing tendency here of dismissing people's dislikes by attaching this "sheep argument" everytime it seems remotely appropriate to do so .. which is just as annoying as being a sheep : )

The battle scenes were good? They were average at best. Definently not what I would expect from such a high budget movie.

I like Schlomo but I was disappointed to see this poster image. I see this kind of related attack all the time on other crappier boards and I don't want it infecting KJ.

Starwarsepisode7 sucks ass....People like you, disrespect and down the name of Lucas and Star Wars. Your are nothing more then a biased biased biased person who really needs to open his eyes and stop dreaming.....and I respect the people who are trying to defend him, but he wouldn't need anyone to defend him if he came down to earth, realized that Lucas isn't god, Star Wars isn't heaven, and every other movie is hell.

Thank You.


On with the thread:

Kill Bill VOL2: "It just doesn't pack the punch like Volume 1"
Are you effin kidding me? Not only does it pack the punch of volume 1, it gives a kick, a headbutt and an elbow while its at it. Sure it doesn't have a terrific first impression, but after watching it the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th....12th time(Im serious), somewhere along the 3rd time, you realize, the story blends substance WITH style, something so rare to be found in movies, this day and age. I may be biased a HUGE QT fan, but heck, even If I wasn't, this film would still prove to be one of the best.

National Treasure: "Why did this movie get so big?"
Maybe cause it's actually an enteraining movie? Sure, its not a perfect movie, but when it comes straight down to raw entertainment, National Treasure is just a joy. I mean, how many movies can say that they make history fun, let alone, AMERICAN history? None of that Greek God, Roman Warrior stuff. The movie has a blend of Pirates of the Carribean and Indiana Jones in it, and throw in some B-Class actors, and you got National Treasure. Im just trying to say that National Treasure isn't the crapfest people make it out to be.

Okay I have homework, I swear, Ill do it later.

Let me go into the future and post something i bet many people will post after seeing the chronicles of narnia.

I didnt like the obviouse christianity in the film.

Please Baba, people bash Catwoman because it's cool to bash Catwoman, not because of the ridiculous Catwoman outfit, the director Pitof or the ridiculous trailers.

Heaven forbid people call Catwoman a piece of crap before they see it... It may very well be the next Citizen Kane!

Considering nobody said that about LOTR's Christian themes, I doubt that will be said about Narnia.

I also agree (...if that makes me a sheep - all I have to say is baa) - there are many members here who are in full zombie mode - liking what they are told to like and dissing what they are told to diss. Personal opinion seems to be a little to radical for the proles. And the hate they cast against those who aren't afraid to hold an opinion is really something to see...

Considering what I read in the papers, LOTR is actually supposed to be much more upfront about its religious orientation too. I had been under the impression Narnia was a study in theology, but not quite as heavy an emphasis on doctrine. I think if it didn't bother people in LOTR, its certainly not going to bother anyone in Narnia.

Well I am not so sure that people thought that Tolkien was a hardcore Christian like Lewis. Everyone knows Lewis is a Christian and stuff like Narnia will have Christianity in it, but most people do not know about the bible/LOTR connection (is there any? I heard so). So it could be different.

Eh, The Return of the King???? What does that phrase remind you of??

Tolkien is the one who encouraged Lewis to get back to Christianity, so I'm sure his faith aided him in his writing. The theme of self-sacrifice for a greater cause is a profoundly Christian one, almost inseperably from the religion in the last 2,000 years, really.

Frankly, what irritated me most about LOTR was the complete lack of female strnegth (and worse yet, the save the women and children scenes in TTT) and that's clearly not the same in Narnia, where Lucy is probably the most important character.

And I don't buy that 'being historically accurate'. What history? This is fantasy, how hard could it have been to move away from the Middle and Dark Ages enough to give women a greater say?


But meh, at least Eowyn kicks that witchiking's ass!
