Well im starting a new topic here at "the all-stars" board. Here im going to post about movies and just moives not tv shows or anything else. here are a few movie topics to get things started and on each topic there are a few things i could think of to. 1. movie rules 2. movie classics 3. good modern movies 4.best movie snacks 5.movies you wish you didnt see. ______________________ 1.movie rules: >don't compare one movie to another unless its simular like "AI is better than star wars" thats not acceptable (hehe dylan). "saving private ryan is better than the thin red line" that is acceptable. >don't say a movie is dumb or bad unless you seen it from start to finish. >don't judge a movie by its name even tho I do this alot. >respect other peoples taste.
2.classic movies: for me I love the old puppet movies like: >the never ending story >labyrinth >The Dark Crystal thers more just can think of them all Other classics: >legend >star wars trillogy >ninja turtles the list goes on theres lots more just cant think of them
3.good modern movies: >The new war movies have been good since "saving private ryan"... "enemy at the gates" was good, "Behind Enemy Lines", "medal of honor" was good even tho that one wasnt focused on the war really. >new classic comedys like: the "american pie" dues. dang I actually cant think of any other good modern comedys. Other good modern movies i have seen latly: >A Beautiful Mind >Monsters, Inc. todays graphics are nice =) >Shallow Hal >Vanilla Sky and more...
4.best movie snacks: >anything chocolate seems good to me. >ice cream is always fun >make sure you have a good drink >chips are to loud >anythig gummy
5.movies you wish you didnt see. (lol nick just farted in his sleep) wow i cant actually think of any right now, but i know you guys will.

MOVIE RULES -The reason I said the little "AI is better than Star Wars" was to try to get you and nick mad. They do have some similarities though. Like I thought the "mechas" that were in the movie, were cooler looking then like the robots and monsters that were in star wars. -I've said in the past that I've hated Gladiator, and I have not seen it all the way. I said it mainly because I have a deep hatred for Russel Crowe. I want to give the film a chance, but I haven't had a chance. Also, from the one scene I saw, it didn't appeal to me. -I respect other people's tastes, but then I don't. You can like what you want, and it doesn't affect me. I have to battle though for shear entertainment. Life gets to boring, w/out battles of opinions.
CLASSIC MOVIES -To me classic movies are like the old ones that are have high regard. Here is a little list I can think of: -Godfather Trilogy -Psycho -Jaws -2001 -The Shining -The Exorcist -Citizen Kane (I guess that just has to be on the list, hehe, Halavah taped porn on the sofsky copy a long time ago) -The Birds -Full Metal Jacket -Lolita is really good! I watched that yesterday . . . (like all Kubricks films are amazing) -There are tons more, but those are like good classic films
GOODMODERNMOVIES -Wet Hot American Summer (one of the funniest!) -Chuck And Buck -Beautiful Mind -Fat Girl -Vanilla Sky -Momento -Battlefield Earth -A.I. -Castaway -Panic (William H. Macy w/out a moustache! -Requim for a Dream -Saving Silverman; I didn't expect this to be good, but it was super funny -I would like to be able to add Jurassic Park III to this list but I have yet to see it -Those are a lot of films that came out recently or a like a year ago or so, but are "good" films in my opinion
MOVIES I WISH I DIDNT SEE -Not Another Teen Movie (thumbs way down!) -Ocean's Eleven; although better than expected -Joe Somebody; just kidding, I didn't see it - shame on me -Runaway Bride -The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari -Open City -I can't think of more right now, besides I have to go to gay Art class. As stove would say "the class is only as gay as the student who attends it." So true.

but lastnight i watch labyrinth for the first time in ages and it was great. "Labyrinth" review: 1.the story is a classic. A sister jello of her brother getting more attention, so she wishes to the goblin king that he would take him away... but she didnt expect him to really come and do it. 2. the music is great. "dance magic" is a great song its a head boping song. The puppets jumping, singing and dacing is great 3. funny: the thing that got me to laugh the most is that she wasted her time going threw the whole labyrinth. when at the begining when she was talking a worm and it told her how to get out of the hall way that seemed endless. "dont go that way" "oh thanks" "good thind she didnt go that way it leads straight to the castle... hahahahhaha i was like haha that was awesome. 4.the creatures.... i love the pupets they own... the ones that could take of any part of there body haha. the goblins that they shot out of the cannons its all amazing and no pc used.
this movie gets a 10 out of 10. movie question: if this movie was made now who would play the goblin king?

I watched the film The Graduate last night w/ Dustin Hoffman, and it was awesome. It had great camera shots, and a great story. It was made in 1967 so dange would despise it (too bad). The only thing that got annoying was all the music was Simon & Garfunkle and they kept replaying songs.
If they made a remake of The Labrynth, why not just keep Bowie on board. I haven't seen it in a long time, but I imagine he could still do it. He played the Elephant Man you know.
Dange, I noticed you did not have "Welcome To Hell" on your list.

Dange there is no reason to hate movies before the 80s. You have to give them a chance. Just think, they are the films that inspired the Directors of the 80s/90s/Ks to make their films and they take many aspects from those films.
Black & White can add to some films. The Coen Bros. just did The Man Who Wasn't There and it is B&W. It's a Film Noir style film and has lots of darkness and stuff to it, so black and white is kind of necessary.
Um, your quote is Charlie Sheen (I can deduct that much), but not sure which film. Most likely you didn't watch Platoon, so I am going to guess Hot Shots! or part deux.
My movie recommendation for today is: Roshamon (1951) -Japanese film from Akira Kurasawa, it's about how man tells their point of view on a story and it seems to differ drastically from other's points of view. Each person who tells their side makes themself seem like the good guy. It was a cool film, and had lots of cool camera movements. Nobody is actually gong to watch this because I mentioned it, but even still, it was good.

My movie recommendation for today: Silence of the Lambs -I watched this a few nights ago for the first time and it's really awesome. I wish I would have watched this one before Hannibal though. There is a scene at the end when Clarece is getting into the FBI and they show this person cutting a cake and I want to eat the cake so bad. I wish I had a picture of it. It looked so delicious. I did have a few things that I did not like about this movie, but oh well, a few small things are bound to show up in every movie.
Oh yeah last night I found out that Brent Chalem, who played Horace "Fat Kid" in Monster Squad died on Dec. 17, 1997. It got me a little emotional.

Last night I rented Screwed and The Sixth Sense. Screwed (Norm, Dave Chappele, Danny Devito) started really unfunny. I was like "man, why is this movie so bad?" And then a little bit through it just suddenly turned good. It was nowhere near as funny as Dirty Work, so that was disappointing. I have a high caliber for Norm and he failed.
I also enjoyed The Sixth Sense, although everyone is always talking about the surprise ending. I didn't find the ending surprising at all. Maybe it was just because I had known there was to be a surprise ending, so I just kind of figured it out since that was the only logical thing that could happen and be considered a "surprise". I still enjoyed it though.
I have no clue what your quote is from
MOVIE RECOMMENDATION: Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas -This was on really late last night and I watched a majority of it, but then I was real tired so I went to sleep w/out seeing the end. It was super awesome though up to where I turned it off.

Today I watched Ready to Rumble and Pulp Fiction... man, PF kicks total ass... what a masterpiece! The dialogue is genius, the action is great, the 'tude is all there, and this was one of the first movies to ever really disturb me (back when i watched it in 8th or 9th grade); the gimp really sends some fear in ya.
Ready to Rumble kicks ass in the literal sense... lots of wrestling and lots of laughter... Dange, Ahmed Johnson and Abhay saw this at my house... were you guys there when my dad was crying from the toilet paper part? Anyways, this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, very well written and David Arquette's part is so full of energy.
I'm out
GLITTER, I SAVED A SPOT FOR YOU IN MY HEART... NEXT TWEEKEND!

Lastnight I watched "Evil Dead 1" for the first time yee woo. This movie was just a rollercoaster ride threw pain. I liked the end with the claymation that was a nice touch. "What you haven't seen evil dead are you alive!" -what your thinking.
Next on the list will be "Evil Dead 2" nope i havent seen that either... but i have seen "Army of darkness" about 3 times. Well that raps it up for now.

Here's a little movie quote for you guys. Most likely you won't know it but it's funny.
"I'm going to miss you the most, you reminded of a scarecrow from a lovely children's story" "The Wizard of Oz!" "No ... no, I'm quite sure it was the Great Gatsby"
The movie Final Destination is horrible. It's actually kind of funny though, in that how horrible it is. It starts off ok, and there is a plane crash and it was kind of cool, and then the rest of the killing scenes were so off the wall that it was really funny.

Watched 2 movies lastnight: Swordfish: Well this is the second time i watched this movie the first time was at the theaters. Well after a second watch this movie is ok... not a great movie but a good movie. Whats better than hacking the mainframe or installing a worm? i dunno. Missdirection is the key to this movie.
Frequence: this is the first time i saw this movie and i have to say it was good. Very good movie for anyone. I recommend seeing it if you havent.
