Truth and Beauty Bombs

whoa those movies
have a fucked up chronology :O

Hi I believe this is relevant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLDSE7RHvno

Gosh I kind of liked THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and I kind of love The Rock. And the thought of watching any Fast and/or Furious movie fills me with no strong negative emotions, and the thought of watching them all fills me with mild interest. Maybe this is a sign?

Also: I have never even heard of "Malcolm".

Man, Boorishly, so glad you like The Rock.

I've recently realized that he is a good action hero.

Of course you haven't heard of Malcom. It's a low-budget Australian caper film from the 1980s. Pretty good movie, though.

what kind of caper are you trying to pull here, Tom?

This is the second time in two days. I am just ignoring it.

You guys are obviously putting a lot more thought into these conversations than I am. I don't troll - trolling has never been a thing I do. I would, in fact, argue that my time on this forum has been defined in large part by my opposition to such things.

I do, however, forget stuff, contradict myself, become distracted by more pressing concerns, make grammatical or spelling errors, screw-up, or fail to carefully re-read a thread before posting - thus leading to the occasional mistake being made.

I apologise for whatever offence I may have caused. I had hoped, at this point, that people would have enough of a handle on my character to understand that there are some aspects of my personality which will never change. I also apologise for getting angry from time to time and doing things of which I am not proud.

Now you can continue to assume I'm working some sort of insidious angle, or you can accept that, from time to time, I like to recommend films to people, or express ridiculous opinions on things, or start threads about books, or organise games, or post pictures of myself dancing shirtless, or generally attempt to excercise a level of conversational freedom comparable to that enjoyed by the vast majority of other forum members, without being treated as some sort of troglodyte creep.

That's it.

Now let us never speak of this again.

See but why should someone besides you feel foolish about that?

Tom, I apologize for giving thought to what you have said. Don't I feel the fool, now.

The point was that I like you people, and am only really interesting in making fun of Tommy and Zach - because they both give as good as they get.

I said I was ignoring it.

Malcolm is a film that I like.

To me the most disappointing thing was how boring the dreams were, except for the limbo area. There's that one scene with the exploding cafe and the folded over city but other than that it's all hotels and skiing. But in the movie they're like "oh we're going to the 3rd level of dream this shit is gonna be bananas!" It wasn't. It was just more of the same action movie bullshit.

I did think that this was pretty awesome though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVkQ0C4qDvM

To be Fair, the dreams were dictated by the architect.

more like the snarkitecht (via juno)

can Office Space be considered a "one last heist" movie

back on topic: I am uncertain I want to watch Inception at all because I've heard so many people that really liked it and said their mind exploded

but then I listened to a Filmspotting review where they said the movie was basically all about the characters telling you exactly what's happening on screen etc. etc. and from what I see in this thread, it sounds more and more like the people who had their brains exploded couldn't have been thinking too hard

I watched inception and found it real straight forward.
I didn't get the "Brains exploded" comments I was hearing from people.

So Stephen, my guess is "you're safe".

Also, "Pooson", I disliked "Juno" as a movie in spite of Jason Bateman.

I guess I didn't really finish my thought there

I meant I'm uncertain if I want to see it because there's one camp that says it's absolutely the best thing ever in existence

and then another camp that says "yeah it's a good movie but it's not THAT good"

and then yet another that says "it's p. terrible guys"

and I realize that it's probably going to fall somewhere in between camps 2 and 3 but I don't want to waste my time if it's more firmly in the "p. terrible" camp. Given that movies where there are generally a lot of people drooling over it, whereas people who think more like I do aren't really that impressed, I am thinking it would be a stinker

good lord my writing is just terrible

thank goodness this is just a forum P:

hint

if you have put any thought into whether or not to watch a movie you should just watch it christ

Imagine going to a two-hour job interview which, inexplicably, is run by a bloated panel of a dozen mixed race, age and gender people, most of whom if they speak at all spend the time narrating what is happening in the room, and trying to relate it to what they hope will happen at the end of the interview. They bicker and prattle among themselves when not involved directly in conversation with you. None of them is particularly confident of the outcome of the interview. For no good reason a powerful array of speakers play farty noises at you for the duration. Everything looks pretty, but in a facile sort of way that suggests, initially, that it is intentionally facile, that you are supposed to delve beyond the surface and learn some great truth. After ten minutes you realise there is nothing below the surface. After fifteen minutes the entire panel gets into a long, rambling discussion - which they exclude you from direct participation in - about how there is nothing below the surface and nothing is particularly important. One of them starts flirting with you, but it's the one you would never, ever want. At the end, someone gets up, comes over to you, slaps you across the cheek and says "Congratulations! Welcome to Inception, Inc."

You're making it sound awesome.

I would love to read a quick 'n' dirty about inception

I feel like I should watch Inception on an HDTV

is this necessary or is my pitiful standard definition worthy

in other words do I need to watch this at my brother's house or my parents house because we don't have an HDTV

I don't think the standard of television that you own should be a factor in watching a movie.
So I'm going to say "yes".

This is how I felt about it. I liked those parts and wanted to see more of them. Instead they made up a reason why they specifically couldn't do that (the peeps in the dream would get pissed at you). I guess they wanted to save money? But who wants to see a movie interpretation of a dream that isn't anything like how messed up dreams really are?

Also I really like the BAAAAAAAAAH music sounds. They were exciting.

Actually the sound was more like BMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"I am not sure if I want to see a movie because some people like it, some people don't like it, and other people have mixed feelings about it."

If something interests you, see it.

Kathryn, if I know what you're talking about, didya know the BMMMMMMM sounds are just the Piaf music slowed down loads?
I guess you probably did, but I thought it was pretty neat when it was pointed out to me.
Here is a youtube video that does the explanation with sounds:

I had no idea!
