ozzfan Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Not that I want to go Bryan Alvarez levels of egotistical here, but the above post has to be a deliberate trolling of me. Â If it makes you feel any better Seven, I watched The Social Network last night and thought Reznor's score was bloody amazing. The film is a modern classic and deserves all the praise it's gotten. Also, Andrew Garfield is dreamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotlightmagnet1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 But that's the worst film ever? Â I've watched The Sweetest Thing, there are much worse out there than Law Abiding Citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra1000 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Saw Captain America: The First Avenger last night. It was actually pretty good fun. I think I enjoyed it more cause i thought it was going to be awful, but it was bloody good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I loved The Social Network but don't really understand how Trent Reznor won an Oscar for the score. I barely even noticed the music in it at all. Maybe if I listen to the CD I'll get a better taste for it. Personally I thought the Inception score was better just for that giant honking theme they had that sounded like God's telephone ringing.

Also would have been nice if they'd somehow left the opportunity to make a 2nd film set during the 2nd world war. Oh and a surprising amount of violence for a kids film, didnt expect the Hydra guy to hit a propeller and explode in a shower of blood  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was even expecting a montage (which it had) but it just seemed so specific to the Hydra base attacks and quite a closed narrative but regardless was a good fun comic book movie that set up the character well and wasn't as Pro America as I was expecting  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Having decided to splurge a little I watched Law Abiding Citizen for the first time today. Very good film. Gerard Butler was absolutely superb in his role as th good guy who seems to get more and more evil as the film progresses, and Jamie Foxx I thought did a good job. Nice plot too. Â But that's the worst film ever? Â I really enjoyed the first hour and found myself asking what the big ending would be. Â My suspicion for a while was that ... SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read the mystery boyfriend of Ricky Bobby's wife that we never saw could either be Butler himself or Butler's accomplice ... but the ending they came up with was fucking terrible. Â So I have seen way shitter films that didn't have the good firrst hour, but such a crap ending did ruin what came before it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 there's certain movies that seem to connect with the general male audience, it's kinda weird but every now and then a movie comes out that everyone proclaims is the 'best film ever!', recent ones were Law Abiding Citizen another was Taken. Â anyone else know what i mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Taken was fucking great though. And I know plenty of ladies who enjoyed it. Â I thought Law Abiding Citizen looked interesting, and I'll probably watch it when it's on tv. I can't imagine it's amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted August 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 I thought LAC was pretty shit tbh. It was a while ago so my memory might not be the best but I remember finding Russell Crowe's character really unsympathetic. IIRC Jamie Fox's character hadn't actually done anything corrupt yet was being targeted by Crowe? Unless the whole moral ambiguity of the situation was the point?

Paid Members Foale Posted August 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Against my better judgement I watched SpiceWorld The Movie this weekend. I remember watching it as a kid and enjoying it as I was just at the right age back then, but it really hasn't aged well and has made me realise that they were never actually that good, just purely right place right time. Â (Appreciate that it was never intended to win an Oscar and is just meant to be a bit of fun - but still!) Edited August 1, 2011 by Foale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Sorry to be a smartarse but it's Gerard Butler. Although he does look alot like Crowe in the film. Â I'm not saying it's the best film ever, I just enjoyed it.
