i tend not to listen to people who bash on movies without watching them
maybe it's just a bad tendency |

sounds like you're avoiding what you think is a pretentious movie by being pretentious.

i was a bit skeptical about children of men myself, though. thats probably why i waited out so long on watching it. it's pretty much what i expected, a decent movie. but it didnt go out of its way to make some huge statement or anything, it was just a pretty straightforward movie. good idea, but, to me, it dragged a bit.

yeah that's actually worse. nothing is more boring than mediocrity. I hated almost every minute of Forrest Gump because it exceeded at being mauldin. Not sure that's really better than mediocrity because I really hated that movie.

lately i watched
Ocean's 13 - ok, but no one seems like they're really putting out any effort Downfall - a truly fantastic film... Knocked Up - very good and hilarious Rules of the Game - the first time i've seen a Renoir movie i think, it is 70 years old and while it's pretty amazing for its time period the story dragged a bit for me.. the camerawork and photography was amazing, however, and the little details of arrangement are impressive Delicatessen - good movie, not my favorite Jeunet movie but he did great with his budget Little Children - was ok, didn't dig the narration and it was uneven but had its moments |

Solo Con Tu Pareja - very colorful, good cinematography, entertaining, but not great
Volver - really think this is one of Almodovar's best movies, maybe his best, though i haven't seen any before Sobre Todo Mi Madre |

downfall is that german movie about hitler? pretty great, although the part where hitler kisses eva braun is a historical liberty that they didn't need to take.
that bit where the woman kills all her children is crazy and absolutely true |

barely. it was an above-average comic book movie, which is not saying much. in retrospect i probably would have wanted to see it on DVD instead of spending 8 bucks.

I love comics. I rated spiderman 3 as a comic movie. compared to shit like fantastic four and daredevil and (shudder) catwoman it's not that bad.

The only comics movies that have been really good are Batman Begins and Sin City. One could argue stuff like Road to Perdition and History of Violence of well but that's getting into graphic novels that don't feature superheroes.

all it boils down to is you should FUCKING See Children of Men if you like great movies. Hell, if you don't like it I will pay for your movie ticket. I believe in in that much.
