Re: Controversial Opinions About Movies Part II
I still think Memento does more telling than showing, which is why I rate it lower than most Nolan films, but that just may be because the story it's trying to tell and the concept it's trying to convey is just difficult to show. At the same time I think Nolan's best is The Prestige but even that h...

Re: Controversial Opinions About Movies Part II
I probably got riled up over it because as a Hitchcock lover Spellbound is one of, if not, the weakest of the dozen films of his that I've seen.

Re: Controversial Opinions About Movies Part II
I thought that Interstellar over Dunkirk would be controversial given the critical reactions to both films. Dunkirk was best picture worthy, its just not as good as most of Nolan's filmography and sadly I think critical opinion has had too much of an influence on all of us. According to the academy...

Re: Controversial Opinions About Movies Part II
i love Interstellar (I called it a masterpiece on first viewing), but it's undeniably a bullishly erratic movie in tone, pace and style so I can hardly fault critics, who tend to look for formal skill and control before anything else. But if it makes you feel better, a bunch of major critics have w...

Re: Sexual Abuse in Hollywood
You have to give Coolwhip a break since he's just another poor soul sucked into the counter-PC hysteria hysteria where clever marketers and pundits feed the average internet user's wounded masculinity by convincing him that vulnerable and hysterical college students are the biggest problem facing h...
