Shawshank Redemption


This is a great film, no shame in admitting you like it. I think Tim Robbins is a great actor. Check him out in Arlington Road and The Hudsucker Proxy if you get the chance. The belt sander is a Coen Bros. film that is often overlooked and definitely worth watching.

Napoleon Dynamite has made me assume that Idaho is beautiful. Is this accurate?

Hello everyone, just stopping in to say hi, and make my one appearance in this thread.

I used to enjoy movies, action, comedy, horrors, weird stuff, foreign stuff, independent stuff, the usual. Then I had an experience that forever changed my opinion on movie watching.

I had just graduated college, so I was used to having a lot of free time on my hands. Then I was unemployed for a couple months, and had even more free time. Then I started working a normal 9-5 type job, and my free time was extremely limited, comparatively speaking. This is when I watched AI.

Regardless of you opinion of the movie, I didn't like it. If it was a 90 minute movie, big deal. AI felt like I started watching it right when I got off work, and had to stay up late to finish it. "What a waste of time," I kept thinking.

So now I find other ways to waste my free time, and most of them don't involve sitting in one spot for six hours. I still try to keep up with the hot comedy everyone is talking about, so I've seen Super Bad and the Hangover. But if you made a list of the top 50 films of the last 10 years, and removed all the silly humor, I can guarantee I've seen less than three of the remaining 50.

You should watch The Road. You will feel really warm and happy afterward :)

Wow, that's epic. Steven Spielberg's shitty interpretation of what would have been a Stanley Koubrick classic made you stop watching movies. It didn't make you stop watching Spielberg movies, or Sci Fi movies, but almost all movies completely. That's powerful

and this is why I never watched AI.

Also Stanley Kubrick is my fav director of all time...

Full Metal Jacket and A Clockwork Orange stand out most for me...

I really love the Coen Brothers work as I'm sure most everyone here does.

AI is fucking great because Spielberg tried to make the ending all sappy and emotional, but instead it turned out super weird and awesome.

Shitty interpretation my ass. Kubrick was pushing the pinocchio angle.

I actually kind of dug AI. But I've almost never disliked a science fiction movie. Battlefield Earth? Bring it on.

Seriously fuck A.I. If that film had ended when Haley Joel Osment fell off of that building -- if the final shot had been him falling -- it might have been a good film.

Fucking Spielberg ends every single fucking movie with those damn big-eyed aliens, though. They're represented in every single movie he's done since like Jurassic Park -- even Catch Me If You Can. I'd have preferred 'Crystal Skull' to have ended by Harrison Ford getting his nards nibbled off by pygmys than have to see those idiotic aliens again.

Seriously though, to go off movies entirely because of that? Are you sure you were watching A.I. and not some porno/snuff film parody of A.I.? (I know it's hard to tell).

^^Label that shit with spoilers yo.

(spoilers ahead)

THEY WERE ROBOTS. NOT FUCKING ALIENS. The most advanced (evolved, if you will) form of technology, and the last remaining form of intelligence, seeking out their origins so to better understand their existence, just as humans did.

Yeah, no, they were the Spielberg Aliens (TM). Call it whatever you want: nine feet tall, spindly broomstick arms, tiny heads with great big eyes. Same/same.

No way am I going to feel bad about spoilers when we're talking about horse shit like A.I.

Well, HG, that's pretty retarded. I'm not going to waste any effort trying to convince you though.

Are you telling me that the 'robots' from A.I. do not look identical to the 'interdimensional beings' from Crystal Skull? And that both of them aren't lifted right out of Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Who cares what the script calls them. Spielberg doesn't know how to end a movie and he uses the same fucking trick almost 100% of the time. Dude's a hack. He makes jerkoff Holocaust films that the Academy shits Oscars on half the time, and the rest of the time his output would be indistinguishable from Michael Bay IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE DAMN ALIENS.

I don't care that they look like aliens, and who the fuck should? They're robots dude. The movie only makes sense if they're robots. Wanna youtube link from the "hack" himself? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz7sPiOoU7A.

Besides, Aliens are the least of Spielberg's problems. The worst part of A.I. and pretty much every other movie he's done is his goddamn daddy issues.

anyways, on to more pressing matters:

^^aren't you guys excited that the greatest film of all time has been made in our lifetime? Pretty stoked!

After Indiana Jones survived Chernobyl by hiding inside a refrigerator, I've become convinced that it doesn't matter to Spielberg if his movies 'make sense'. But whatever.

The Malick film looks like that Aronofsky film that had Hugh Jackman in it, although The Fountain I think suffered for some pretty aggressive editing, which I'm pretty sure was done at the studio's insistence. I'd really love to see a director's cut of that film.
