Quote from: CountDeMoney on March 24, 2012, 11:07:43 PMBut they're the same idiots that think Apocalypse Now is about the Vietnam War, too.

What is Apocalypse Now about?  I thought it was about how humans are fundamentally bad and only a thin veneer of civilization separates us from putting people's heads on sticks.  That's what I took away from Heart of Darkness, anyway; I've generally assumed Apocalypse Now was about the same thing, but never really examined it.

It's not about the Vietnam War, that's my point.  The vehicle is not the message.

Tree of Life was painful to sit through.  I pretended to like it OK for sociability reasons, but I really thought it was dreck.

I did that for The Fountain.  I lasted ten minutes of listening to a girl describe its Buddhist themes before I cracked and just started swearing about it  :Embarrass:

I was also enraged because as far as I can see the film's not that Buddhist <_<

Thin Red Line was marketed as "SPR in the Pacific with all star cast" over here. Hence, when I went to see it at the theater I felt disappointed. A few years later it was on tv and I watched it again and really liked it this time. Since then it's become one of my favority movies as well.

I remember going to see The Fountain, thinking from the trailers that it might be a kinda cool, lost-in-times sort of thing.  It was more like watching a bad acid trip.

I had to google to find out what spr means. That fucking movie doesn't deserve a TLA.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That movie was fucked up. I just watched it to perv Rachel Weisz.

Ugh.  I never finished that one.  Can't remember what happened.  Got bored, or hungry or the house caught on fire or something.  I think it was just boring.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Great soundtrack though.

Thin Red Line is so incredibly boring that no person can ever have finished it. Growling cartoonish officer leads a collection of soldier-philosophers who manage to cobble together the profound message "war is hell". :zzz

Agreed.  OMG, I never realized soldiers get scared in combat!  I need two hours of that for the message to sink in.

Just saw Sucker Punch.  Was OK I guess.  The way Seedy was rubbing his pecker raw I thought the girls would be a little hotter.

Ponytails and Vulcan miniguns do it for me.  That's my thing.

The much anticipated 'Battlestar Galactica' spin off 'Blood & Chrome' will not be coming to Syfy as a TV show – but hope for the series is not lost yet.

After receiving over 100,000 views in 24 hours, a leaked trailer for Syfy's new space drama Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome has eager BSG fans chomping at the bit for the series to air. Unfortunately, after much deliberation, Syfy has decided not to air the Battlestar Galactica prequel as a regular series – but there is still hope for a TV movie and a digital series.
Syfy is just allergic to money aren't they.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

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.

I think they're just allergic to anything SciFi-related.
