Just finished re-watching Magnolia after a guy at work who I recommended it to said it was a terrible film and how he couldn't last longer than an hour.

Man that film is so overwhelming. An absolutely perfect film.

nice little comedy. had fun watching it. the kind of light sunday matinee fare for when you don't want an old world war 2 movie or a spaghetti western.

the funnest part throughout was hearing that crazy québécois accent.

Yeah, I had to watch that at work, better than I expected it to be (my expectations were pretty low though)

Why do you keep watching all these Westerns? I didn't realize you were that into it..

 

[demonrail666]

Honestly, I'm not even listing them all. I just watched some 80s made for TV one that I guessed nobody would be remotely interested in. It's partly just cos I like them but I'm also trying to write something about them, so it's sort of research too.

Came on TV tonight, watched it after work. I forgot just how great this film is it had been a while, I just can't understand why this eccentric, sarcastic, hard-ass Jack Nicholson waited ten years to make a reappearance in the 1980s

it's called "screenwriting" and "acting" and "directing". you know, a writer writes a character, an actor plays that character for the director who demands a certain performance. an incomprehensible notion, i know, that a movie character may be different from an actor, but it's how it's done in them holliwoods.

also, cuckoo's nest is from 1975.

I have always been bored shitless by Chinatown and Mean Streets.

Thank you Mister Condescending, I always appreciate just how much a prick you can manage to be, keep up the good work

The flaw in the writing, why in the world did they honestly spend half the movie with him having that ridiculous bandage on his nose? Why even write that nose cutting scene into the beginning of the film if it is going to make your leading star look stupid through out most of the film?? Bizarre!

[demonrail666]

I very nearly bit there but I'm now convinced you're trolling

[Rob Instigator]

no trolling. Those movies bore me terribly. It is a similar boredom to what I feel watching 80% of Saturday Night Fever.

[demonrail666]

No i can kind of get your point about finding it boring. Same with Mean Streets and Saturday Night Fever. There's a definite quite flat pace and tone to them that I can see some people just not getting into, as much as other people seem to love it. I was mainly talking about Suchfriends point about the bandage on Jack Nicholson's nose.

[Rob Instigator]

ahhh! I see.

I enjoyed the crap out of Ronin but I found Casino dull.
