CopperNY said:Daniel Craig has been very polarizing.
there's only Connery for me, with Craig a distant second. Moore/Dalton/Brosnan were just embarrassing. still undecided, after all these years, on Lazenby.
not to say that i haven't made a point to see every James Bond film, starting with Moonraker, in the theater....
Paisley said:Mad Hot Ballroom was good, but it wasn't typical: it was a documentary about kids in New York City public schools learning to dance for a competition. I liked Swing Kids, too, and I really expected it to be awful.
I don't like most Golden Era dance movies. I'd rather do my income taxes than watch Fred Astaire.
Lensmaster said:Yes. I think Farrell has potential as a light comedy actor but he goes with the money which is stupid broad characters with no character. Can't really say anything good for Jack Black.

Jerekson said:The post-2001 Ocean's Eleven series. I've had friends and family that have sworn by these movies for years, calling them the coolest things they've ever seen and insisting that I am missing out.
The terrible plot elements and unfathomable premise, the awful displays of "high culture" (yeah right) and atrocious, "comical" dialog just about makes me tear up from embarrassment.
The thing I hate the most is the way the characters are portrayed (mostly through the use of the aforementioned dialog) as being so casual, so cool, so bad-ass if you will. Makes me want to barf.
It's a real shame too since I love nearly all of the actors in the films (save for Julia Roberts - I will wholeheartedly side with the earlier comments regarding her). But alas, their potential performances are dashed by the lackluster content.
I probably wouldn't hate the movies so much if I didn't feel like I was the only one. I've literally watched my friends sitting around watching these movies and saying "OMG THIS IS SO COOL!!!", leaving me to walk out of the room shaking my head and wanting to throw a brick through the television screen.
I swear, if I have to sit through one more jazz-tracked bank-rigging montage, I'm going to throw up.

What I wanna know is what kind of black magic it took to keep Mr. Hughes dirtnapping so he wouldn't rise from the grave and throttle the little [invective of choice here] for sullying his name with The Aviator...Katarina said:Why do you have to be so mean to weasels? lol

I was sick and tired of his sorry hide before even leaving high-school, thanks to that sucktacular James Cameron FUBAR of Titanic and the collective obsession with it and him among so many of those whom it was my misfortune to call "classmates"...
not to mention Brad Pitt's flawless ItalianHepKitty said:Which is why I love Inglorious Basterds. European actors, intelligent dialogues in several languages, good translations for the subtitles, and a wicked sense of humor for the whole thing. this is the kind of stuff I've been waiting for
