    Reading this comment from Burt Reynolds about how Paul Thomas Anderson was young and full of himself, reminded me how boring I found Boogie Nights, it just seemed to drag on forever, I can't remember the plot. It's so overrated

    The Big Lebowski is ridiculously over hyped and was the opposite of funny.

    You are ridiculously wrong and the opposite of correct.

    The Big Lebowski is maybe the funniest movie ever made. We just have very different humor sets.
    what is your favorite comedy, out of curiosity?

    Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness, Haggard, Wet Hot American Summer, Clerks/Chasing Amy/Mallrats... all quality comedy. I think I smirked at the hallucination scene in BL and that's about it.
    Will Ferrell sucks comedy's dick as well. He's terrible at it, tries to hard, scrapes with the teeth a bit... But he's SO eager and let's to blow your load on his face, so he remains popular to dude bros despite all else.

It's very akin to Howard Hawks' adaptation of The Big Sleep, in that it has this confusing, meandering plot that's too inexplicably compelling to stop watching. Jeff Bridges, John Goodman and Philip Seymour Hoffman have these complete fucking oddball roles unlike anything else they've ever played, and yet they nail it perfectly.

    That part when the Dude is sitting in his bathtub smoking a joint, hearing the answering machine message about his car being found and then getting a marmot thrown in his tub by the Nazis makes me almost piss my pants every time I see it. And I can't even figure out why
    Walter is the best part of the whole film. I love every one of his dialogues, his character, his motives and of course his role in the film. His best scenes are the Rules speech in the bowling alley and the EDITED (yes I said EDITED) version of the one and only infamous scene with "referencing a Stranger"

    Batman movies have never done anything for me. , Chris Nolan (good director) trying to intellectualize it made it even worse.
    Yes all movies have their moments... yet ive never been able to warm to the whole franchise.
    Always thought it was a very camp comic book. More suited to that style. Same with Spiderman. Something blocks me from taking it too seriously.
    Maybe its just me.....i loved X Men on big screen though.
    I thought the first X Men from 2000 by Bryan Synger was the best.
    The source material for X Men is darker (holocaust survivors etc) . It for some reason to me works better in a dramatic way on the big screen.

    My favorite censored-for-TV line is "My name is Buck and I like to [party]" from Kill Bill Vol. 1.

    Nothing can beat this one. They redubbed a line from the movie that was somewhat offensive (plus it had cursing in it), and they actually made it more offensive...

    I wish James Cameron would stop wasting his time with the Avatar films.
    He has made ONE film since 1997.

    He made some great films, he had a lot of talent, i loved the women in his films, he added depth to his charachters.

    What is he doing? He could have made about Ten films since Titanic.

    Wasting his time on this dull Avatar bullshit...

    Since '97, Cameron's made a bunch of science center IMAX movies, developed his PACE 3D camera system, finally filmed Avatar, developed the next 3 sequels, developed a custom submarine, gone to the ocean floor and back, joined a tribe and protested a government, etc.

    Criticizing JAMES CAMERON of all people for "wasting time" is ridiculous, lol.

    OK, I get making one Avatar film. But is he creating any new revolutionary techniques along with those 3? If no, then yes he is wasting time now.

    I'll do you one better



    Probably the only time I'll ever suggest Renny Harlin was better than Scorsese.

    I guess this is controversial? Other than John Goodman's knockout performance, 10 Cloverfield Lane was pure garbage.

    Dennis Quaid was a much better Doc Holliday than Val Kilmer.

    I'm not putting down Tombstone at all, it's a really good movie. Quaid dared to play him as unlikable, which probably factors as a plus in Kilmer's favor. I've not seen either it or Wyatt Earp in awhile so I'm probably due a re-watch soon.

    I'm a huge comics fan but tend to hate all film and TV adaptations. I just don't think it shines as well outside of its own medium.

    I think The Neverending Story is the best thing in the fantasy genre ever put out on film or television. And I say that as a big fan of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.

    I'd take TNS over Lord of the Rings. I enjoyed the trilogy, but was never that into it.
