Have heard of those movies but not seen any of them, because no one I know wanted to see them, too.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Stay Alive...Let the Man Drive

I haven't seen any. So I voted for Lara Croft. Megan Fox is promising but still needs more tattoos.
humans were created in their own image

Martinus

Anyway I'm surprised Mme Streep wasn't mentioned for her role in "Doubt".  :mad:

I'm waiting for a critically acclaimed, ethically ambiguous movie about a male concentration camp guard bonking a 15 y.o. girl and see if there is an Oscar in it. :P

What's wrong with going to movies alone? More than half of the movies I see in cinemas is alone.

I went to Attack of the Clones alone and the movie was so horrible I decided I could never see a movie alone again.

Never heard of those movies.  Megan Fox it is.

I agree. Never heard of those movies except for The Reader, which I was told it was anti-semitic.

After a few years, you get tired of watching obvious Oscar-bait movies.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

The original movie?  Hell yeah, even though they killed Optimus Prime, Megatron, Skywarp and Thundercracker.  It was an excellent piece of filmmaking.

The one from a couple years back?  I dunno.  I didn't hate it, but it wasn't magical for me either.

The recent sequel?  Haven't seen it.

Why do you ask?

Just trying to assess what you might consider good quality since you dont agree with the standards set by Oscar.

Whether a movie is good or bad has little to do with whether I'll enjoy watching it. A lot of the movies I've enjoyed have been objectively bad.
