I know many folks that greatly disliked Sin City. I greatly enjoyed it. [huh]

Thank you. I hated this movie, I know it was supposed to be cartoonesque but it was just wrong on so many levels. I'll not bother with Sin City either. You're right, violence should be incidental and not the whole plot
Nicholson doing Nicholson. Not a lot of acting involved. Another reason I didn't like the '89 version of Batman. I did think Keaton was alright, but the rest of the movie put me off. The series just went downhill from there.Packin' Heat said:I thought it was pretty good. It doesn't meet the first one for me simply because Nicholson as an actor combined with the Joker as a character can't really be beat by by whatever else might succeed.
I agree with Keaton being a rather poor choice for Batman as well. I think Tim Burton just used him because of prior work with him.

I find John Wayne tiresome and Humphrey Bogart just repeats himself.
Casablanca is nothing but a "womens magazine" shortstory on film.
Avatar, Lord of the Rings and Starwars are a lot of booooooring nonsens.
And I hate musicals!!!!!!
(No thank you - I don't need a blindfold!)

"Love Actually" was a mess that reminded me of watching a few Kay Jewelry commercials strung together.
Will Farrell, I don't find funny...with the exception of Elf, in which I found him charming, touching, and hilarious.
Ingrid Bergman...Really Rick? That's who you pined away for? [huh]
I adore Franchot Tone, though a lot of people don't even remember him.
(Edited for length!)

If I wanted to see that I could watch Floyd the Barber in the old Andy Griffith Show. Oooohhh! Ahhhh! :eusa_doh:
