There are some incredible parts of the movie. It's very good and was almost great.

There were numerous instances of ppl doing incredibly dumb things:

1) let's immediately land on a presumably inhabited world rather than orbit for a minute attempting broadcasts to make clear our peaceful intentions

2) let's all take our fucken HELMETS OFF b/c some dude says the air in a waterfall room is "cleaner than earths" (it's a fucken alien world what if there's a gas or fine particulate your instruments aren't even calibrated to detect)

3) let me coo at this beautiful cobra worm until it jumps down my throats (this was actually kinda satisfying in the classic idiot-deserves-painful-agony horror trope)

4) let me immediately unquestioningly kill myself, blow up the ship that is our only way home b/c frantic lady says that thing in the sky is headed to earth and up to no good, do you agree crew? Yes we unthinkingly agree let's do it!!!

These are just the few that particularly irked me

Still, somehow, it was fun to watch

It is under rated. It was released in 1999 so it's the same era as 'Adore'
Visually it's incredible and story wise it's haunting

It's a movie that stays with you after you've finished watching it

guardians of the galaxy vol. 2 - 5/10

strangely edited, weird tonal shifts, and ultimately polarizing. some humor lands, some doesn't. it was clear a lot of love went into it but it doesn't come together as well as the first film, and i didn't feel strongly about that film to begin with

[FlamingGlobes]

eXistenZ - 8/10

Movies like this almost make me wish I still smoked weed. Also, Jennifer Jason Leigh can finger my porthole any time.

[Trotskilicious]

thats gross

[buzzard]

Spores! Deadly spores!

[FoolofaTook]

Eyes Wide Shut is magnificent.

My opinion is authoritative. Those who oppose me may feel free to eat "it" (if u kno what i mean).

[FoolofaTook]

Better than 2001.

Better than Strangelove (tho that's my personal fav)

[FoolofaTook]

And Amadeus is an incredible film.

btw

to play devil's advocate, this is all the stuff that makes scifi possible

i do agree it really pushed the viewer's plausibility threshold quite a bit though, and characters flat out made dumb fucking decisions just to get on with the narrative

[Trotskilicious]

i like nitpick #1 because nobody has ever done that in the history of humanity, you know i'm thinking of exploring new lands & stuff. humans aren't peaceful.

[yo soy el mejor]

American Me

hardcore. obviously copied in many ways by american history x.

[qwerty sp]

What do you dudes and dudettes think about 'American beauty'?

[Trotskilicious]

dated, trite 90s suburban angst, romanticizes a middle aged man's fantasies about a teenager, has the old homophobe actually repressed gay trope that is total fiction, generally extremely bad but man i'll tell you annette benning is goddamn great in it

[Trotskilicious]

kevin spacey wants to bang a teenager is enough to make that movie radioactive bad

[qwerty sp]

Must have watched that fucker a dozen times
Watching it right now as a matter of fact...

[Trotskilicious]

i like how you have absolutely nothing to say about it

[qwerty sp]

I've always been interested in suburban American life
I like Caroline and the real estate king

I always thought Ricky was quite creepy, at least initially

[FoolofaTook]

That movie pwns. It fucking slays.

Hope you liked that review tlish. And for someone who looks at porn daily you sure have a lot to say aboiut other ppls sexual dysfunction. Did your ancestors come over on the mayflower?

I loved it when I was 17. Thought it was the most profound thing I had ever seen up to that point. I watched it so many times back then, I don't know that I could view it objectively at this point.

I remember watching it about 5 years ago after a long absence and thought it mostly held up.

Next, we talk about Magnolia

[FlamingGlobes]

2010: The Year We Make Contact - 7/10

As expected, not a patch on the original. Still, a rather respectable sci-fi film in its own right.

raining frogs at the end was bollocks

[smashingjj]

what

you never seen it rain frogs in shanghisrael?

[myosis]

'Your Name' is a very good film worth seeing, although it could have been shorter.

[teh b0lly!!1]

what

maybe with all that legal netherlands pot u think u saw frogs but it was only joke rain

[smashingjj]

maybe you're used to having joke cities where you're from, but we dutchmen are completely serious about everything. EVERYTHING!

it just rained cats and dogs. that's not just a saying.
