Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
Nobody can explain why you don't like it, that's a 'you' thing. I do like it but not because it's set in London, don't care about that, I just like it. I personally have fun with it, you don't so fair enough. Everyone is different, my friend we all like different things

Yes, lets all talk about our feelings.
But seriously, can you quantify what it is about it that you enjoy? The character relationships? lighter fluid in a super-soaker? I honestly don't understand.

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
Why do you have to understand? I mean, can't you just accept that some people like stuff you don't and vice versa? Why do I need to justify my liking of a film to you? And vice versa. You're not 'missing' anything, it's just the way it is, mate

I think the next DiF commentary should me Mike saying "I like this, so shut up".

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
That's not what I'm saying at all, though. At no point did I defend my liking of the film in that way. My stance is- I like it, you don't, who cares?

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
I thought it would be an interesting conversation, rather than just making statements. There are lot of people who liked AtB, I'm Scotty no-mates who thought it was under whelming and I thought there would be plenty to leap to its defence.
Never mind.
I quite enjoy tea.

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
Yup, That's the sort of thing I read about the film

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
I like it because it feels like an early John Carpenter movie crossed with Joe Dante by way of The Wire.
Because it has the balls to have initially unlikable protagonists (opening with a clear "kill-the-cat" scene). Because I find the dialogue funny.
Because it's mainly a sci-fi horror flick with comedic elements, instead of the other way around.
Because it has a cool retro sci-fi score, and is a genre I like a lot (kids who discover some threat the world is oblivious to and have to stop it).

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
That's kind of my take away as well. I'm all for something which shows good people in flats as a counter to the hoodlum stereotype, but there weren't any redeeming features to be found.
The little bastards deserved what they got to be honest. There was no clear threat until they initiated it, and no redemption of the characters. They were essentially the same pricks at the end as they were at the start.
Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
I loved the characters in the movie. They started out as unlikable (don't get me started on how little I trust people that talk to lone women on dark streets) but I like the way they stuck to their own moral code and grew in the story without changing who they were. I sympathized with them.
Also, I'm hoping that John Boyega (Moses) gets more parts because that guy could really be a star.

Just rewatched Dear Zachary....TWICE because pace wise, it's the speed I'm going to need to go at for my Doc Challenge submission.
Holy shit is it even more devastating since I spawned a child. I, no bullshit, went and held Grayson for like an hour afterwards. And yes, as a film, it still more than holds up.

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
I'm going to guess that distance from the reality makes it easier for people to like the shits in Attack the Block. They probably seem like totally fictional characters for Americans in the same way that the drug dealers and killers in The Wire seem to me (but wouldn't to, say, someone living in Baltimore).

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
Despite being rated R in the US, A Good Day To Die Hard has been given an uncut 12A certificate in the UK.....
EDIT: Actually, apparently, it has been pre-cut by the studio to get a 12A certificate so we get a different version than the US. Hooray

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
The US will get the full line while the UK will get it cut short by a sound like what happened in the PG-13 fourth film. Fox are bastards, they precut Chronicle and Taken 2 to get a 12A rating too. The theory is, like the R in the US, kids can see 12A films with an adult therefore more cash. I've read that there is up to 50 cuts in the UK version so we may as well get a fucking 'edited for TV' version.
Fun Fact: When Die Hard was first shown on TV in the UK, that line was dubbed to "Yippee kiyay, Kimosabe"

You know, if I could grow a beard, I'd look just like Ben Affleck in that photo in the link. It would hide the difference in our chins.
