Of course you are right, and we are nonsense.

I haven't had the guts to go back and revisit it because, while I enjoyed it as a college kid at the time of its release, I'm relatively sure I won't care for it 10 years on. What little I can remember of it strikes me now as pretty hamfisted and emotional-cudgel-y (and WIWH looks about the same). YMMV

EDIT: Basically, you know the "It's not your fault" scene in GOOD WILL HUNTING? That's GARDEN STATE the whole time, set to an early-millennium indie rock soundtrack.

Seeing a lot of people posting about this. How did this backer screening business work?

I don't know how he went this long without knowing anything at all about ALIEN or its iconic scenes but I'm glad he did. His reaction to the chestburster is exactly what you'd want it to be.

Heh, that TMNT trailer half-sold me actually, despite the lame Bangarang knockoff track. Leonardo trying to do an action movie leap over a truck and pathetically failing made me laugh.

I also enjoyed the "So...they're aliens?" "No. That's stupid." Flagrant fanservice after the rumors, but smart.

The site is called War is Boring. He reviewed a movie about war and says it was boring. Does what it says on the tin, really.

Very disappointed at how this thread has fallen into mansplaining. We have the benefit of having women's voices in this conversation, guys. Don't just leap to "explaining what's wrong with" their perspective.

I'm rather firmly of the "slow motion is gross and lazy" school of thought and approve of its non-use in GoT.

I suppose slo-mo can have its place, but I think the majority of the times it's used these days are unnecessary. The lack of artifice is what makes GoT interesting as a fantasy story, IMO, just as the juxtaposition of the fantastic and stylized made True Detective more interesting than it probably had a reason to be.

they need to do everything in the books exactly liek in the books except the parts i don't like they should do it the different way i want

Loved it. It's everything we're always asking for movies to be in the show. Sharp, sense of humor, tightly paced, clear and constantly escalating stakes, telling a human story, exploring the concept without belaboring the point, with visual effects serving the story and not the reverse, and an unsexualized female mentor character who doesn't exist solely as a love interest or to go to pieces at the 11th hour just to make the main character seem more heroic by contrast. This is the new gold standard for blockbusters.

Why Bogus Journey as the pairing?
