BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 he must not know about PSH or JP in the master. Get serious, SA, DDL is ****ing Abraham Lincoln in ****ing Spielberg movie. If that's not a ****ing lock for best actor, I don't know dick about the academy. JP has a shot at the screen actor's guild award, but that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 i'm serious as a heart attack, big d. i got JP winning best actor for sure. or at least supporting if thats what they put him up for. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Can't we all just keep laughing at the dude that said Denzel was a lock? Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 how in the **** could he be up for supporting, the movie was about him you damn rube. And no way he beats out DDL as Lincoln. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, he does. But since when is the academy awards about deserve? They've been dead to me ever since Mickey Rourke got jobbed out of best actor for the Wrestler.

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 he can be up for supporting if that is what the studio submits him for. i've seen it a hundred times. but if not, i just think the academy will give this one to JP. DDL already has two after all. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm watching signs right now, and I forgot how much I liked the first 90% of the movie, because the last 10% sucked so bad, that stuck in my mind. I think M NIght Is really good at creating a story, creating a world. His endings just suck so much ****. I think he needs to find a good screen writer he likes and make other people's stories.

brvheart 1,752 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I agree. I think Night is a good director. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Since we're on the subject of M. Night. He's got a new movie coming out with Will Smith and his son Jaden. Jaden looks like he hit his growth spurt. The only movies of his that I absolutely hated were Lady in the Water and The Last Airbender. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zaN0HV_N6UA Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm seeing The Hobbit tomorrow, I'm a little skeptical of the 3D fast frame technique they decided to go with though. I'm not much of a fan of 3D to begin with let a lone another new way of showing it. I also don't possibly see how the movie needed to be broken up in to 3 movies considering it was a quick and easy read back in grade 5. I guess if they can get another billion dollars out of the franchise why not. Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Saw The Hobbit, in HFR. Liked it a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The Hobbit Loved the movie, hated the 3D effects and Martin Freeman is the most convincing hobbit yet. His acting was superb and I thought he brought a relaxed, fun personality to Bilbo which you come to expect from the book. Thorin was pretty awesome too, just how I expect him to be and the animated effects were top notch as expected (save for the 3D). I don't want to be a negative nancy but I have some minor nit picks I noticed. So here we go (possible spoilers ahead). - The story of the Pale Orc vs Thorin is not something that was part of the book that I can recall and I believe must have come from other material outside the book. It's a major addition to the movie and while it might make it more appealing to non fans, I have mixed feelings about it. I already know what dwarves live and how others die in the story so they can't obviously have the guy kill any of them... which makes me question his purpose. - In LOTR they show a clip of Bilbo finding the ring while crawling on the ground, in dirt. In this movie he just picks it up after seeing Gollum drop it. I totally assumed that shot was going to be recreated but with Freeman as Bilbo to keep it consistent with the other movies. - I also found most of the orcs to be quite different looking than the thousands we saw in LOTR. Maybe it was just me. - Did we really need a 25min opening scene at Bilbo's house only to not really get any character development from the individual dwarves? There are a handful of them that only get a couple minutes of up close screen time in the entire 3hr movie. I just wish I saw the movie in the intended high frame rate 3D, I didn't realize I was missing out until it was too late. 3D Review (Not high frame rate) I saw it in standard, Real 3D as the HFR version wasn't available in the theater I was in and was sort of let down. I haven't seen that many 3D movies to compare to (3 or 4) but I for one rate this one near the bottom. For the most part it felt very layered and a lot of the effects went in to the screen rather than out. With all of the CGI in this movie, I expected a lot more coming out at me but not much did. Also, most fast moving objects looked transparent at times with a lot of motion blur which was visually distracting. There were certain parts that did look better than others, mostly towards the end with the Eagles & the last shot of Smaug, but it basically felt like watching a post converted 3D movie to an otherwise outstanding film. The story is so engaging but you are constantly distracted by the 3D effects that I have to grade the 3D effectiveness as I saw it as a lousy 5/10. It just took too much away for me to enjoy the movie more. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I saw it in a non 3d theater and have no complaints about the filming. I was thinking about the story with the orc, I think it made sense because in the book the orcs were enemies, but really for no reason. I think giving them a leader and a reason to be at war against the crew translated well on the screen, even if it wasn't that way in the book. Otherwise the orcs would have been a repetitive enemy from the LOTR movies and this gave then another dimension. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Django Unchained. Nothing like spending christmas watching Whitey get slaughtered. Loved it. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Where would you rank it among his other movies? My order for the ones I've seen are 1. Pulp Fiction 2. Inglourious Basterds 3. Kill Bill 1 4. Reservoir Dogs 5. Kill Bill 2 6. Death Proof Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm going to try and see Django tomorrow. Where would you rank it among his other movies? My order for the ones I've seen are 1. Pulp Fiction 2. Inglourious Basterds 3. Kill Bill 1 4. Reservoir Dogs 5. Kill Bill 2 6. Death Proof I gonna guess BigD's order Pulp fiction Django unchanged Inglorious basterds Reservoir Dogs True Romance Grind house Jackie brown Death proof Kill bill's intentionally left off the list Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskers 680 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I don't know about his list, but Reservoir Dogs is going to be #1 for BigD. True Romance isn't directed by Tarantino and Grindhouse is just Death Proof and Planet Terror (which wasn't Tarantino) together. Really hoping I get to see Django soon. My list: Pulp Fiction Inglorious Basterds Reservoir Dogs Kill Bill Jackie Brown Death Proof Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I can't make my list without including his writing or guest directing. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Wrong, Pulp fiction is by far my number 1. it's very difficult for me to rank the others after that, but Kill bill is certainly on my list. I would guess Jackie brown would be the bottom, but that's no insult to jackie brown, I loved it. I bet if I re watched it, I'd like it more than I do now. I guess Inglorious Basterds would be my number two, but I'd really have to think about it. This movie doesn't have the tension that Basterds had. I've never seen a movie that was quite so good as building tension as Basterds. tarentino Said that he feels that he's made a new type of movie, A "Southern" ( as opposed to a western) and I think that's close to the truth. The movie is a mixture of Spaghetti Westerns, Blacksploitation and a Hard Boiled-style hong kong movie, and yet something else entirely. There simply has never quite been a movie like this. I've love tarentino's Genre Revenge movies, and honestly, if he just keeps making genre revenge movies, I'd be happy. They are all awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskers 680 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Wrong, Pulp fiction is by far my number 1. No, you're wrong! I preferred your previous response about someone liking Dogs over Fiction. Something like, "Your mom prefers anal to oral." Hmm, I thought you had said before that Dogs was your favorite, but I, um, might've been thinking about something else. *looks around* Link to post Share on other sites
