JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Iron Man 2 might be good but it has the nastiest looking human on earth in it. Take a fucking bath you nasty male skank and wash your fucking hair. He combs the meth out of his hair to get high.Shrek 4, never saw 1,2, or 3.Toy Story 3, never saw 1 or 2, Splice looks interesting, not good, but interesting.Sex in the City 2, subtitled Dubai counting on this movie to balance its budget.Jonah Hex, people will come out in droves to see a disfigured obscure comic book western.the A team looks like a movie made from a bad tv show. Oh it is.The Karate Kid...looks not bad.Eclipse...sorry not a teenage vampire lover here.The Last Airbender, I gave up on M. Night, but damn the trailer looks visually interesting.Predators looks like something, it has Adrian Brody who is quirky and alway good.yes I want to see the Expendables and Piranha 3D, love that line in the trailer by Dreyfus, Well this was not a boating accident, and it wasn't Jack the Ripper, it was a Piranha with a mouth on it this big, then he puts his thumb and forefinger together. I laughed my ass off at that.Iron Man will make 200 million quick. It might even pass Alice in Wonderland which was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 LOL. Mickey Rourke really is the most disgusting man on Earth.I want to see Toy Story 3, The Expendables and Inception. I'm not a Christopher Nolan gusher, but that movie combines two of my great man-crushes, Leo and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler is one of the best performances I've seen last year. He's even a better actor now than he was in his glamorous days.

Naïve Old Fart 9,449 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 It is a sad fact to say that the (second) best film "doing the rounds" at the moment, is 50 years old-"Psycho". The best film "doing the rounds", is 61 years old-"The Red Shoes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 That's not sad to say. There will never come a time when people can say that The Red Shoes or Psycho are not the best films around. What is sad to say is that people will be compromising with Iron Man 2, not truely being transported by excellent entertainment. I'm personally finding 2010 to be more interesting than most years in the pre-summer season, and I think we're ripe for a really good film year, after the mediocrity of 2008 and slim pickens of 2009. I'd like a year where the 3-4 best films are not the only ones worth remembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,449 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 There really hasn't been anything that good in the last few years. Movies nowadays suck.No, guys, ET has a point. Most "popular" films are made, and/or sponsored by some fast-food chain, or some godsawful soft drink manufacturer, and, as such, these "people" do not have the slightest idea as to what makes a good film. They only care about how it does on its first weekend, or, as Roger Waters once put it: "who cares what it's about, as long as the kids go". Unfortunately, this mentality is creeping into all "art", to the point where people's taste will be compromised so much, that they will simply forget what a "good" film really is. Most mainstream films, these days, are lazy, cynical, parochial, and manipulative, and the "joke" is that people do not even realise that this brainwashing is goong on.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I dunno, I mean the OT had Burger King on their side and they were ok. I don't think an actual film has been produced or invested in by any fast food or drink company in any way more than the usual ancillary deals, other than when Coca-Cola owned Columbia (which brought us GHOSTBUSTERS), although I'm happy to be proved wrong.I think it's a matter of perspective. There's always been a great deal of dreck in the cinema, I'm not sure it's any more today than it was in the 80s and the 90s. I agree there are ridiculous amounts of money spent on movies that just aren't that good, or terrible, and that's probably as bad as it's ever been, at least on a consistent level. I don't think it's wise to start nailing the coffin down on cinema just because your average Hollywood flick is more likely to suck than usual.

Ollie 1,053 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 My interest in cinema has has shrunk over the years. I used to see everything I could but I've found as I've gotten older I have more interest in spending time outdoors or going to places like museums, art galleries, concerts etc etc as opposed to sitting inside a theater. I'm almost at a point where I'm seriously considering selling off my DVD collection, with the exception of about 30 films. My wife and I don't even watch that many movies when we're at home. We prefer to play games or talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
