Absolutely, I just mean that I'm not going to care about films I don't like just because of their reputations.

Well it's more discussion than we've had in months.

Stay upset all the time @captain awesome

@captain awesome thinks Rocky is one of the great AmericN films

how so? i dont rly disagre that itll be cited of ~2010s trend but not much more no

? Universally known as one of the worst Best Picture winners ever. Literally any other film in 76 shouldve won. i dont like your tone or characterization of me in this thread

foxcatcher was dope btw guys (but definitely not better than birdman)

and easily my least favorite overall out of the 3 miller films ive seen. very dope performances tho

Spoiler

edit: said dope twice to trigger andy

Moneyball is awesome.

Birdman's well acted (though most prestige movies are), features a nifty, albeit attention-starved gimmick, and works mostly as an amalgamation of artistic concerns in today's pop culture as well as an industry satire. However, while it touches on a lot, it explores precious little and Inarritu's smugness bleeds through the screen.

For the record, I actively dislike Foxcatcher...funereal slog towards the inevitable, hitting upon obvious psychological and metaphorical points along the way (It's about America!). Capote is pretty cool I guess.

Everyone making me look bad for defending Birdman

he says while seething about me being a "no talent"

godfathers trilogy is pure dog s---

Coppola u fat monkey

i just think thats baseless.... and it still hasnt been backed up whatsoever...

i generally think a few examples aside, most of you guys are uncritical geeks with childish taste. talk about overrating conventional film criticism, you guys are praising wes anderson ffs

Moneyball? and Hoffman in Capote man.. rip

I definitely enjoyed Foxcatcher more as it was unfolding than after leaving the theater.

re: birdman though...idk man some of that smugness is part of the appeal for me. dont know if im conveying what i mean though...it is centered around man @ very self-serious point of his life

 

Oct 21, 2015

This is such a cop out

 

Oct 21, 2015

Bennett u mongoloid

 

Oct 21, 2015

hah i like films about America! yeah the smugness of Inarritu is rly what troubled me. also tired about hollywood making films about itself. Trumbo no thx

 

Oct 21, 2015

moonrise kingdom and fantastic mr. fox are in my top 20 favorite films ever, i hope that makes you cry

 

Oct 21, 2015

Oct 21, 2015

@Dew a. havent seen it obviously... if you mean barton fink, i do like that one. ill see hail caesar obviously but not big on coenns when theyre full slapstick (lebowski aside)

 

Oct 21, 2015
