General talk about movies, TV, radio, and other entertainment discussion.
Discussing favorite movies is a great topic but keep in mind some folks haven't seen the movie yet we may be discussing so don't give the endings away!
the was Golem.. he was a hobbit long ago.. but he had the ring for hundreds of years an it turned him in to that tiny shrivelly man thing.(because of the rings destructive power). he was telling Frodo and Samwise he would take them to Mordor, the fire pit to help them get rid of the ring so it would no longer cause power lust and greed to man. ( in a nutshell)
Hulk was eh, was told to wait till it hit DVD and glad I did, cuz even the rental was too much as far as I was concerned.. Had a great concept but the movie was just well.. flat.
Spiderman one was good.. I was meaning the new one Spiderman 2 coming this summer
Sorry Magenta to disagree, this is not the debate board I know so I dont really want to argue this, but ALL movies nowadays do not suck & I cannot beleive you manage to see every single movie produced to have such an opinion!
There are some fantastic new films around! What I do agree is that there are also some rubbish films made.....but Im sure thats always been the case! Also at the end of the day it is a matter of opinion/taste :o)
in the 60's I loved Chitty Chitty Band Bang, The great Race, Those Daring young Men in their flying Machine (& Jaunty Jalopies LOL) and most of the Disney stuff
Thanks Linda.. You're right this isnt a debate board. For someone to keep saying todays movies SUCK is only bringing on negativity. The purpose of this board is to discuss movies, give reviews on NEW and OLD. My thoughts are you've already told us TWICE MS that new movies suck now please give positive feed back or just give it a rest.. Thanks!
Although I read this board I wasn't going to comment.But since Rose already thanked me by mistake I will.She meant you Lamby.LOL And I agree.
Lamby was right this is not the debate board so sorry Rose.
MS the debate board would be perfect for you when you become a member,you seem strongly opinionated.
Most of your post I read are so negative regardless of the subject.But that fact does not make you right it's just your opinion.Lot's of good movies out there.Lot's of bad movies out there.This is a board to discuss movies.Regardless of whether you like it or not.
Here's your statement MS:
I sense the hostile spirit of someone who does not wish to face this.
That is to be expected.
Where do you see that?
What makes you such an authority on movies and if I see a movie and thinks it's great and you don't like it,does that make it a bad movie because you didn't like it?
Oooops credit were credit is due.. Thanks Lamby not Linda for the original post but NOW thanks Linda for adding your points too!
It IS very difficult to try to keep an upbeat board going with such negativity. My opinion is that some poetry sucks. You sure wont see me voice that on the poetry board because I respect that other people enjoy poetry and wouldnt think to tell all on that board their poetry sucks. Hope this now makes it clear what my original message to you MS was about. I dont go to your board and tell you that your board topics suck so please don't do it here..
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. MS you have stated you do not think any good movies have been made recently. A lot of other people beg to differ. You obviously feel you are in a different league then the rest of us who are here to discuss movies and to give reviews on them. The purpose of this board is not to figure out if others feel todays movies are crap as you do.
Linda I too enjoyed Green mile. I think it is with in the past 5 years also.
P.S. you wouldn't have been pounced on if you hadn't written two separate messages stating "All movies NOWADAYS suck... "
I'd love to have you at the debate club.Cough up $10 so I can send you an invite.Lay off your nice pills for a couple of days and you ought to be able to swing it. j/k But I would like for you to be there
Lots of ideas are welcome here.. unfortunately you do not understand that THIS Is not a debate board.
To be met with such a wonderous message as your brings such joy to me MS
for those who do not get her last line it says
The world if full of deaf mutes. Very nice words.. Cant wait for you to put yer 10 bucks worth in the site one of these days and have a true debate with you..
Hi Magenta Spiral, Im very interested to know just which films you HAVE been watching?????
I dont make a habit of watching many Hollywood blockbuster or 'fast action/lustmance teen movies' as you have stated we all do on this board (where you got that idea from I dont know either???) There are a hell of alot of films produced, within the last 5 years, by excellent directors, with fascinating plots, intense acting & amazing cinema photography!
Maybe you have just been sitting watching something like Jurassic Park over & over & over??????????????? lol
My opinion of great films within the last 5 years (not in any particular order) would include:
Young Adam
Moulin Rouge
The Others
High Fidelity
LA Confidential
28 days later
Billy Elliot
O Brother Where Art Thou
Have fun watching those tonight Rose :o) they do sound like a good mix of films....I havent seen any of them so would be interested to know what you thought :o)
All the best for the New Year to everyone aswell!! :o)
What kind of films do you like Linda, or which type would you prefer to watch for tonight?
We need to get the guy at your movie rental place to watch some good comedy films & maybe he may lighten up! lol :oD
