DELETED

cuz that's been done.



Over and over and over again



Brokeback was pretty good. Should have had a different name. Brokeback just sounds like a gay sex act. Might as well called it Fistfull of Colon.

What's your point?

well, if they tried to do brokeback lezbo stylee, and wanted that sense of realism, you woulda been stuck with two chicks who looked more manlike than Jake Glyennhal.



Real lesbianism is not pretty.

Well, just watched Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. My review is below:



WTF? X-D

Hahaha! Youve never seen it before ?!

It's fucking brilliant X-D

Mips and i actually went to the revolving bar you see in the casino in Las Vegas. It was closed X-D

Over the holidays I am getting royally twatted and rewatching that film. Was blasted on tequila the last time I saw it. Genius!

ok, who was the one that spoke bad about the movie "Crash"?



First of all your nuts, this movie was absolutely fantastic! The movie shows a perfect picture of what problems we face in every day society (especially, here in the states). From the irony of events, the vulnerability that everyone holds, racial profiling, and just straight up being misunderstood. These are all things we deal with every day! Maybe more so for some then others, but in general, the movie shows we (society) all need to take a step back for a minute.



We need to understand we are all human beings (slipvin is the exception), that need to communicate, trust, and help each other a lot better.



And Im done.



Grrrrrrrreat Movie

Thought it was mediocre and over the top. Dozens of movies come out like that every year. Boring as fuck. I've watched several movies over the past ten years that have made me think a lot more about racial issues than 'Crash'.



Important issues? Yeah. Good film? Not particularly. But if it makes people think, well, who am I to criticize.



When do we get a feature length Laguna Beach film?

awww dude, its not just about the racism, its about being human and coping with very difficult situations. Racism is only a small part of what fuels the fire in the movie. There?s so many layers of being misunderstood and labeling these days, that situations such as you see in the movie, get blown out of proportion and happen a lot more then they should. It always gets labeled as a racist issue because that?s the easy answer for the matter. But I think what the movie perceives, is something bigger. People treat people like shit today (regardless of race). We, as people need to take a better look at things before we act. We?re not all that different and we need to help each other out more.



Maybe I took the movie deeper then it is, but I really think it?s got a strong message to it, for all.

It does have a strong message, I just really felt as though I was being preached to for the duration. The message, both racism and interpersonal-wise, is an important one and one that should be self-evident to most people. I found watching such a dramatized (though not necessarily unrealistic) version of such almost made it seem less real to me.



For me, the "message" in a movie should be like teasing the strands out of string cheese. It should take a bit of effort not to tear off too much at once, but if you have the patience and technique you get a delicious little bit of dairy goodness one strand at a time. (Okay, so I'm running low on metaphors at 2AM.)



I just really felt like the film was self-consciously shooting for an Oscar nomination and it seemed very manufactured. That's not to say it was a poor film, just that it seemed contrived and really didn't get me emotionally involved at all. I was a little bored by the film and didn't really care too much about the characters, who, for me, were very thinly written. My ex, who was the one who INSISTED we watch it despite my best efforts to avoid, fell asleep during.

There's a great deal of irony in making a movie where the message is 'Racism Is Bad' and then having it full of racist stereotypes.



That movie lost all credibility when it had 2 black guys jack a car.

i think thats part of the point, its trying to emphasize a point so that the mojority of the veiwers can understand the point its trying to make.



unfortinitly i dont agree with only the black people being the ones steriotyped, considering the racisim is just as bad in some parts of the states to white people as it is to black.

Mmmm, but Matt Dillon's racist white cop character equally represents a stereotype.



I just didn't find the film compelling in any way. It was dull and overhyped.



I think a better film to watch in terms of race relations is Blade Runner.

Darkstar - I'll never forget when Crash won the academy award for best picture and you came on here and posted "and the world collectively yawns..."



Blade Runner... *drool* That is such a brilliant film, my favorite movie of all time. There is an opulence to the cinemtography, the casting, the use of light and shadow, the costume design, the soundtrack - and how everything just flows with the way the story moves. I wish so badly that Ridley Scott had all the rights to the film as it would've likely been restored by now. As beautiful as it is, it could use some polishing to sharpen and freshen things up. Plus imagine how it would sound in 5.1!

I was worried when I made that post that I'd be jumped on by people who loved the film. I stand by my guns in this case though. A great big meh.



Blade Runner is stunning and deals far more effectively with interracial and interpersonal relations than most movies of the past twenty years. I totally agree about wishing Scott had the rights to clean it up and give the 5.1 treatment. I'm glad the Director's Cut did get released though (one of the first films ever to get that treatment).



Travelling to Los Angeles, I really did view the city prismatically through the many movies I've seen in which it features. Blade Runner was at the top of the list, esp. with the amount of time I spent in downtown LA. (Now the reverse is true, I view films taking place in LA through the prism of my experiences there. I appreciate Training Day a lot more now.)

Napolean Dynamite.



Didn't feel like a movie. Made me giggle though. I like it, but not like like.

I just didn't get Napolean Dynamite... I think it was 'supposed' to be like the triumph of the geek, but watching felt like it was just making fun of geeks. The title character never rises above the level of pathetic.

Lady In The Water



meh!
