Pulp Fiction was OK. Taranatino is notable for challenging convention but his movies often fail to entertain.

I agree. I can watch Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, but Reservoir Dogs straight puts me to sleep every time I try to watch it. Inglourious Basterds I watched two times, which was plenty enough for me. I LOVE Grindhouse though.

As for fucking Terminator, anyone who liked a Terminator product after T2 can get the fuck out of here right now. T3 and Salvation both sucked really bad and the TV show was tolerable if you were drunk but only because Summer Glau and Lena Headley are both smoking hot. Come on, Judgement Day was a science fiction milestone. It had state-of-the-art special effects, the greatest action hero of all time and.. well, that's about it, but it was fucking awesome. By the time T3 came out the entire motif was cliche, and in Salvation they made the robots bigger and made them growl hoping that we would still be affected by them. But we weren't.

The best part of Terminator 4 was when Arnold's face, superimposed on a different bodybuilder, stepped out of the door while it was playing the theme from Terminator 2. This scene was only good because it reminded us of the earlier movie, which was actually good.

I agree with you for the most part - but I liked T Salvation. I like the long scenes with no camera cuts. Something they do a lot in action movies is to use a lot of cuts to simulate action that isn't actually happening. They did that in Gamer and it made me so angry.

Grindhouse fucking rocked!

What? I love Reservoir Dogs. I probably watch it once every three months or so!

It's the dialogue for me. The movie just has great dialogue.

blackheart · 10-13-2009

Yeah I love that movie as well, is one of my favourites actually. I don't see what there 's not to like.

Jenn and tonic · 10-13-2009

Add me to the 'hated Reservoir Dogs' list. I have attempted to watch it 5 times, and have yet to be able to stay awake through it.

EmperorChaos · 10-13-2009

YOU ARE ALL FOOLS!

It's a dialogue-driven movie. It requires you to be awake and alert already. Fuck it. I'm gonna put it on right now.

GoddessDivine · 10-13-2009

I love Reservoir Dogs. I think it is one of the best movies of all times.

moonlight_serenade · 10-13-2009

I've only seen two of these:

Date Movie
and
The Whole Ten Yards

Did anyone else notice that most of Eddie Murphy's movies are on this list?

No! Don't get me wrong! I like the movie, I just find it excruciatingly hard to sit through.

Yeah it is the type of movies I call Dense

the problem with reservoir dogs is editing. it's damn long and the mister orange mini story took to long to develop. that said i think it is tarentino's best work because the rest of his movies trombone gay men

EmperorChaos · 10-16-2009

I can't believe so many people have such a problem with Reservoir Dogs. It's really not so damn long as you're making it out to be. It's well-known that dialogue moves plot along quickly. Try reading any book that contains a lot of dialogue versus a book that contains more description.

I've watched Reservoir Dogs countless times. I think I love it for its violence, language, and soundtrack (which has Steven Wright as the DJ).

Thoughtcrime · 10-16-2009

It's so PRETENTIOUS to have a fuckin, 7 minute scene filmed from one stationary angle.

It's even more pretentious when that's the WHOLE MOVIE.

GoddessDivine · 10-16-2009

i enjoy the soundtrack as well.

Thoughtcrime · 10-16-2009

Misirilou by Dick Dale is one of the best songs ever made.

I liked that Tarantino didn't rely on close-ups to make his scenes.

Geezus Christ! You people really don't know that much about cinematography? Or film as an art form?

Thoughtcrime · 10-16-2009

Loller, of course I know about it. To reiterate - I'm not hating, just saying.

Wheels · 10-16-2009

... what. The New Guy was fucking brilliant.

EmperorChaos · 10-16-2009

^That's what I said.

Stop agreeing with me Brock. You fucking hate me, and maybe for good reason, but we shouldn't like the same things.

Drogdar · 10-20-2009

I don't know if this has already been discussed... Drag me to hell sucked.....

Me and my gf watch movies once a week (her off day) and she picks one and I pick one. She choose Drag me to Hell. I had no intrest in said movie but I figured what the hell. (pun [bad pun] not intended). I hated the movie after the first two minutes... and as the movie progressed... my hatred grew with it. So here we are about 45 mins into a movie that I hate every character in, and then all of a sudden.... she turns off the movie. "that was awefull"

worst movie ever.

(she then thought that because here moive sucked, she could choose another one... she said she had seen the first two and didn't like them but figured she might as well watch the third one. she put on grudge 3... i went to sleep O_o)
