Public Enemy-

Johnny Depp as John Dillinger directed by michael mann
I like the parties involved but just couldn't get into this movie.

That's a shame.  It was one of the movies I wanted to see this summer.

Donnie Darko 2-WTF were they even thinking?

They made a second one? 

It's actually called "s. darko". apparently stinker of the year... according to every single person who's rented it at my store.

Traffic in Souls (1914)

Made at the height of the white slavery scare this film depicts women being dragged into brothels and held against their will.  Mary Barton stars as a "Perils of Pauline" style spunky heroine who saves her little sisters from the white slavers.  The leader of the prostitution ring is supposed to be the spitting image of vice crusader John D. Rockefeller Jr.

First Blood, a tremendously undervalued film, and Rambo: First Blood Part 2, a tremendously hilarious film.

God Bless America, and God Bless John J. Rambo.

First Blood is indeed a genuinely good movie.  And very different in tone from the movies that followed.

Is First Blood really undervalued?  I thought it was regarded almost universally as a very good film?

Only to those who were actually alive when it was in theaters and saw it then.

[Eddie Teach]

Yeah, Rambo's got a reputation for being a mindless shootemup with people who've never seen it(like me).

"Rambo" used to be a nickname of mine back in Winnipeg daze. I had: a red bandanna.

The younger generations are trash anyhow.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Isn't this from a Sumerian tablet? 

To Live.  Zhang Yimou and Gong Li combine to make a fantastically devastating movie, on par with the greatest films on the Holocaust.  Wish there was a Russian equivalent that wasn't set in the 16th Century.

Isn't this from a Sumerian tablet? 

Attributed to SOCRATES by Plato, according to William L. Patty and Louise S. Johnson, Personality and Adjustment, p. 277 (1953).

  This passage was very popular in the 1960s and its essence was used by the Mayor of Amsterdam, Gijsbert van Hall, following a street demonstration in 1966, as reported by The New York Times, April 3, 1966, p. 16.

  This use prompted Malcolm S. Forbes to write an editorial on youth.—Forbes, April 15, 1966, p. 11. In that same issue, under the heading "Side Lines," pp. 5–6, is a summary of the efforts of researchers and scholars to confirm the wording of Socrates, or Plato, but without success. Evidently, the quotation is spurious.

I'd like Johnny Depp to drop dead. or fall into a woodchipper.

those are fighting words.
Johnny still ranks as the nicest actor i've met.
