Unpopular movie opinions...

[Widebrim]

I thought you might change your mind if it involved Natalie Wood though.lol
Not!

Close call...She was attractive.

Well, since this is the unpopular thread, I have to say she never did a thing for me.[huh] Something about the eyes. :eeek:
She's no Marilyn.

I agree with you, James. Girls with a shape are far more attractive than the heroin-riddled shapeless female form that's been idealized as of the last 15 yrs....and they're also far more healthy

Shia LeBeouf (SP) more often than not comes off as an annoying person in any movie.

I am not entirely sure that is an unpopular opinion for Indy fans...

That is because he is annoying.:eusa_doh:

Both Lennon and Wright are "artists" that have a huge following but lived lives where they treated the people around them very poorly. That's the connection.

In this world you are what you do. How you treat others has more of a bearing on who you are than even great accomplishments. If one loves Beethoven, were good to one's family and played with the family dog but that is after a hard day running the death camps, one doesn't get a pass. If one were a Mafia hood and killed or had killed a number of people in one's career, writing a check to build a new hospital wing doesn't offset the murders.

Unfortunately there are a number of people that had not just one indiscretion but a series or lifetime of them that remain heroic in the eyes of others because of some achievement say something like their voting record in the Senate or Congress. There are some deeds or attitudes that cannot be worked off by good deeds. How a person treats others is a truer indication of their concerns and their real nature.

It's like the idea that the gangsters that ran a city during the Depression opened Soup Kitchens for the poor. The thing is they feed people that might not have eaten otherwise but it does not lessen their criminality.

Well put, sir!

The song "Imagine" grates on me every time I have to hear it. Imagine there is no heaven? So I should be content with this fallen world? Regading duality of nature, we see that with a few 20th century humanitarian "icons," whose shady pasts/theories/etc. often get swept under the carpet, and you dare not speak of them in anything but glowing terms...But back to the movies.

If I understand the whole world view Lennon embraced, this was the entirety of existence. If that was so, then do what pleases you, since there is no afterlife; you've only got right now in this material universe, enjoy it to the best of your abilities.

I, however, do not concur...

In short, from the time period, "Do it in the road.":hippie::whip:

It is the go for the gusto for tomorrow you may die concept.

Then if you combine it with if there is no afterlife, no reward or punishment for your deeds and misdeeds in this life then who gives a wit about other people!

The logical conclusion is I am taking what I want and doing what I want because the most important thing is me in the here and now: power, money, all of the lusts of the "flesh" are the reward for ruthless behavior.

I'm not a fan of the Departed, so many people rave about it, Scorsese's worst I reckon but I do quite like (most of) James Cameron's films.

Well, Ben Stiller is in it---what did you expect?

I was forced to watch it. Most men love that stupid movie. I'm not a fan of potty humor. Although Airplane was amusing at times.

S.O.B. There's a real stinker. I prefer Ms. Andrews singing on a mountain.
