Mr. Seven Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Oh come on. How can you like him? How can anyone like him? He is just AWFUL. There is not a more punchable face going in a Hollywood actor (don't provide alternatives, I would rather watch a film with Martin Lawrence in it than Hawke). From his sub-Tom Cruise voice to his utterly undeservedly smug facial expressions and demeanour, his success in films (albeit modest) is one of history's greatest crimes. Â Also, he's mates with Richard Linklater. Do NOT tell me you like his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably gonna sidetrack the sidney lumet thread but I bloody love Linklater, and Ethan Hawke is awesome. End of. Â Lolz @ Martin Lawrence!

Mr. Seven Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Richard Linklater is a pox on the film industry. Dazed and Confused is a bit of fun but that's where the goodwill ends. If it weren't for the existence of Elephant, Waking Life would be the worst film of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2011 Come on, Bad News Bears is great! Well not great but you know. School of Rock was pants though. Tried to watch Before Sunrise once too. Was dull as anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for the existence of Elephant, Waking Life would be the worst film of all time.  Jesus.  Anyway Dazed and Confused and School of Rock are two of the best comedies of all time in my book, then you've got Before Sunrise & Before Sunset, two absolute classics. A Scanner Darkly, Tape, Fast Food Nation, Me and Orson Welles are all great. Never seen Bad News Bears remake or The Newton Boys. While Slacker was good for what it is. I don't much like Waking Life though, but worst of all time is a bit far. What is it you don't like about him? A pox on the film industry is a bit much, considering he is one of the most creative, challenging, unique and individual talents that is out there..  ...and I like Elephant  Open Water is clearly the worst film ever.  I can't believe there is Ethan Hawke hate out there, is this like when people hate on Keanu Reeves even though he's clearly freaking class and cool as fuck, and a pretty sweet actor.

Mr. Seven Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Your closing description of Linklater is worrying. I see the opposite really. Â As for Keanu, I quite like the guy. Not a great actor but not as bad as people make out. And he was Johnny Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 12, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ethan Hawke is shit. Richard Linklater is shit. Keanu Reeves is shit. Â I think it's pretty funny though when people get so upset about Mr Seven offering an opinion on something. What would they be like if he told them they had cancer rather than a film they like is crap? We disagree on some things but we give each other a hearty slap on the back and move on to pointing and laughing at mongs. You lot would do well to do the same.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 it aint so much Seven offerering his opinion, i always read his posts as he's one of the best posters here...i just think the guy holds little grudges against things and once he gets chance to spout out his schpiel he does. I remember him given exactly the same speech about Before The Devil Knows Your Dead in the movie thread. Â I just get the impression that the guy think his opinion is the gospel and if anyone disagrees with him he'll shit all over them...Gladstone you're just swinging off his nuts.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 12, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yeah, that's just complete tripe though, Ebb. As I just pointed out, I've disagreed with him on a number of things but I don't make the mistake of being over-sensitive about his opinions and as such just randomly term him a troll like most around here. We agree to disagree and we move on. Try it, it works wonders for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yeah, that's just complete tripe though, Ebb. What, suggesting that Seven has complete belief in his own opinion? That's completely true. It's probably his best and worst quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We agree to disagree and we move on. Try it, it works wonders for us. Â i'm probably the least argumentive person on this board, i don't take anything seriously on here it's just fun to me...the only thing that bugs me about Seven is that he kind of comes across as a bully, he attacks peoples comments and he ridicules any opinion that he doesn't agree with. Maybe i take it wrong, but that's how i feel. Â I mean, Gladstone you accused someone else of trolling in here but Seven's the one who came into a 'RIP' thread and decided to pipe in with his negative opinion...now there's nothing that says he can't do that, but for me that's the worst case of trolling going on in here.

Mr. Seven Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Who did I attack? The film? Did people on here invest in it? Â Also, I like your "Seven holds grudges, he said the same thing about BTDKYD when he first saw it!!". Â Right so, it's not that I have the same opinion when discussing the film again in a relevant setting, it's that I've broken out my hate-tinted blueprints and launched my latest dastardly attack. Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 12, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 I trust Sev's opinion over at least the vast majority of people on here. If that's 'hanging off his balls', then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
