horrible, i mean, what are they trying to accomplish? thats almost as bad as
that stupid Ja Ja Blinks from Star Wars Episode 1....teh original trilogy is
soo much better, am i wrong? and Planet of the Apes...the best movies in

Doesn't the Bible refer to God as "He"?

I thought that was an absolute miscast- I understand what Smith was
trying to achieve in his portrayal of God, but Morrisette was, quite
frankly, shit. Great film, though.

Money making from the old american tale. What else?

I vary between my belief as to whether ep 1 is better than return.

>and Planet of the Apes...the best movies in
> history by far....well im out...later

Planet was brilliant. They got progressivly worse, though.

Want decent films? Watch South Park, The Matrix, Batman (& Returns), X-
Men, Monty Python's Holy Grail and Life of Brian, Toy Story 1&2,
American Pie, Transformers: The Movie, Akira, Singin' in the Rain,
Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Naked Gun 1 & 2.5, Fight Club, La Nuit
Americain, Gladiator, The Sixth Sense, The Third Man, Vertigo, The
Seventh Seal, The Pornomatic 5000, anything by Quentin Tarantino, Tim
Burton, The Coen Brothers or Kevin Smith, anything with Jackie Chan,
Harvey Keitel or Steve Buscemi in it... I may remember more later on.

He can appear however he likes. So can the devil.

A chubby man with a white beard and a red suit will approach you soon.
Avoid him. He's a Commie.

these days, the devil is apparently a completely abstract being which
merely influences, rather than out and out offers some good reasons for
turning to the darkside.

Depends. He's the manipulative type, but he'll come and get you if you have
any real power. Then he'll use you to manipulate millions (hello media!).

Catholicism is just Luciferianism in posh clothes. Go CofE.

kingpin you can only watch once or twice before it's simply not funny
any more. it's the same problem with all their films.

he's great but not god. his writing is better than his acting, given he
only seems to be able to cat the one part.

horribly overrated. it was the glorification of a remorseless murderer,
which is wrong. and i fucking hated hannibal (the book, people).

I'm very sorry slut but I do not have to know every fact about the films
that I enjoy to know whether or not I like them. haven't seen blood simple
yet but will do just to see if your right.
is film everything in your life or would you say that u have other
interests like paper folding or airfix model creating and as for the comment
about little boy well that's just a typical secluded view, that having read
your previous posts I would have expected from u. any way thou who will
swear for food what are u tripping on? silence of the lambs was not
overrated it was as shocking as it was entertaining in my opinion. and if
I'm the sad strange little boy you must be the fucked up institutionalised
toddler.

we are still forgetting about all the original Godzilla movies. they are
probably one of the best box sets existing. i think you people need to start
talking about something interesting and something that you all wont kill
each other over. if youd ont, i will be forced to leave this NG, and i KNOW
you dont watn that to happen. btw, did you all hear that joke last night on
SNL on weekend update...it was something like: "The gas prices have gotten
so high, that the protesting monks have to now set them selves on fire by
standing under a magnifying glass". that's really funny, but i have all the

don't have the boxsets, but still, they are the ultimate in cheesy
drunken film sessions. they do rock.

i expressed an opinion based on the fact that everyone who watches that
film goes on about how cool it was, leaving out the fact that they were
praising a remorseless killer.

and i didn't like it.

i may say more once i've finished filming...

oh its good that u r getting an education because damn u need on and its not
always good to just enjoy one form of art ie your films maybe u should
branch out and then maybe you may taake inspiration from other activities
basides trying to replicate the ideas and situations that other more
talented directors/producers what ever u want to call them have tried and
tested

the ting is if films didnot shock then they would not be memorable and that
film will remain firmly imbeded in the minds of all that see it and if that
is not sucess then what is directing some 15 minute film using a camcorder
and which only gets shown at other friends houses or if your lucky the
college/uni film show allright then

o so i suppose all the i deas that u will include in this film will be
totaly original with no copy cat scenes/effects etc

the fact that it relied on shock for memory should point out that it was
lacking, both narratively and directorally. note that ms foster didn't
return for the sequel?
