Spook, i'm going to use your wording here:

"you're doing it wrong"

I love hearing people call basterds boring. f***ing lolarious.

hurt locker was good but I think if James Cameron's name had been the directing credit on district 9 it would have clean swept the field. Hollywood bias imo.

Hollywood Basterds by David Duke

Hurt Locker was good but it wasn't great. By the end I was hanging for it to finish because it was starting to drag. Same with Basterds.

Careful faceman don't be posting stuff about jews whatsoever it's anti-semtic and fpot will label you as a pro-holocauster and a jewish haterer!

Such a f***ing idiot.

I don't understand how people can praise Inglorious basterds as a fantastic movie, sure it had some great moments, the start was great, and the end was great, but wedged in the middle there was bulls*** I didn't really give a f*** about and didn't want to see. I don't care about the nazi who's a movie star, I don't care about the cinema owner and her black bit of manf***, give me more of brad pitts guys killing nazis, or more jew hunter hunting jews, thats what I'm there to see. When brad pitt or the jew hunting nazi guy were onscreen doing their thing, the movie was great, when they weren't, it was drivel.

Hurt locker was good, but yeah, I dunno about best movie good. I'd put District 9 above anything else nominated for best movie without a second thought.

big fan of flashing lights and loud noises eh khel?

Yeah sure, who isn't, but I like a dramatic dialogue driven movie, its just most of the characters in the middle of that movie weren't really very interesting, and I didn't really give a s*** about them, yet the movie spent sooooooooooo long on them. After introducing us to all these great, interesting characters in the first part of the movie, it then proceeds to serve up an hour of completely boring characters who are doing nothing interesting at all. I dunno, tarantino is a bit hit and miss for me in general, sometimes he turns out stuff that I love, sometimes he seems to get a bit caught up in being an artistic wanker and (imo) the movie ends up suffering for it.

Someone who thinks there is a massive jewish conspiracy and they put hidden messages in movies calling someone a f***ing idiot - irony.

So it had no character progression and the story wasn't anything close to an epic tale...

But even so, every scene in this movie had meaning behind it and was executed pretty flawlessly.

Good to watch if you're, as khel put so neatly, an 'artistic wanker'

The only conspiracy happening here is me getting with your mum and pumping her with hardcore subliminal messaging, in her flapper.

I saw The Sting.

I was amazed at how such an old movie can be so awesome. The acting, the story, the characters, the twists. All amazing and well a head of it's time.

Ive found the standard of acting is better in older movies.
I really believe it is because Actors in the past had to learn their craft from performing on stage whereas now it is just failed models that become actors.

give a f*** about and didn't want to see. I don't care about the nazi who's a movie star, I don't care about the cinema owner and her black bit of manf***, give me more of brad pitts guys killing nazis, or more jew hunter hunting jews, thats what I'm there to see. When brad pitt or the jew hunting nazi guy were onscreen doing their thing, the movie was great, when they weren't, it was drivel.

Khel you don't appreciate cinema at all. It wasn't a film about Brad Pitt.

some of the wtfs, i observed in the hurt locker:

the bit with the taxi, wtf?
the whole sniping scene, wtf?
the bit with the kid, did he have a bomb inside of him? wtf?
the bit where they go to investigate a bomb blast, and randomly decide to run off into the nite to shoot the bad guys, wtf?
the scene where they got drunk and punched each other, wtf?
a hurt locker, wtfit?

a substantial non wtf, was that the doc was going to get blown up by the dude with the donkey and the cart, everyone could see that coming from a million miles away

i really find it hard to believe that this was the best moofie made this year;

avatar shat all over it, i dont care that we've seen the story before, it was a fanciful retelling of pochahontas, with awesome visuals and a beating heart

i saw it a second time last week. just as brilliant as the first. some people are just lost in the normal world.

secondly, hajis and their bombs... wtf

nah, i can dig hajis like bombs

secondly, hajis and their bombs... wtf

One reason is because they have so much old surplus. They have nothing to fire them with because the rocket/Mortar tubes are all busted and used up, so they make improvised explosives instead.

Being over hyped and s*** is not a good combo...its like Avatar with towel heads and without pretty 3d lights to take your mind of how utterly f***in terrible the storyline is. I give it one kangaroo.

1 kangaroo is good coming from you I guess.

seriously, i didn't see one ad for this movie before i watched it. where was i supposed to be looking for advertising?

He's probably referring to all the oscar buzz it got.
