Ha ha. But you still gave it a 3. I love it.

Meaning there are at least 3 potential levels of crapiness that a movie can attain beyond you hating it as much as possible for as long as you live.

LOL, couldn't even finish Miami Vice.
It was the same horrible piece of shit.

Equally Isabella knows she must be careful with Sonny because they are using each other. Then they both become victims to themselves.

I don't see a maverick in Sonny Crockett. He's more like a guy carrying an invisible burden. He'll always be lonely because of it.

I'm sure I trivialized his role in M.V. I only saw it once, so I'm sure you described it right. Maybe I just don't care for C.F. after watching most of his other movie roles, and carried his typecast and transposed it on Sonny.

I've always thought it was understood that when a film is about a true story, especially if it's about somebody as well-known as John Dillinger, spoilers aren't necessary since everybody should already know what happens.

If it'll make people happy, to be safe, I'll warn for spoilers about every film from now on.

Douchebag And you said you are nothing like Manny and Karo?

Shut up, bro

Yes. It's a very funny dark comedy. Colin Farrell is just the highlight.

This is what we call a negative feedback loop. Plus, a complete urchin of movies. It would be a shame but fortunately he doesn't see it that way.

So upward and onward, hey?

I don't mind being told I'm wrong so long as I agree that I was in the wrong, otherwise I'll defend myself and my actions and take any and all insults for doing so.

You have to be gay if your last name is Milk, right?

There isn't. There's some shirtless kissing, though.

In Bruges is definitely fantastic.


The Last House On The Left is next in line for me.
The plot reminds me of The Virgin Spring, which is a pretty good flick.

After that I should finally watch The Seventh Seal or Watchmen.

I feel the need to post the movie spoiler GIF.....But I wont.


Oh and big surprise. Underworld 3 sucks. I quit half way through. Dunno why I even gave it a shot but anyway......

[HH]

Bullitt have you seen The Lost Weekend?
I've been planning to watch this for ages, too.

That's because it's a remake. For a '70s horror film, it's very enjoyable, but compared to The Virgin Spring, it's a big turd.

Go for The Seventh Seal first and then, if you haven't seen them, Wild Strawberries and Persona.

Well you have to post it now because I don't know what GIF you're talking about.

CLASSIC FILM 101: The Lost Weekend (1945)

Don't read that until after you've seen it, though. I don't want you getting pissed at me for more spoilers

Who told you that? Was it no one? Did no one say that to you and you put it together yourself?

You don't agree spoiling the death of a main character in a film is wrong ....

Yes, you will take all the insults for that. Thank you. You've shown me a new level of fail. It's hard to imagine someone so dedicated to being dense.

I've seen Wild Strawberries, and trying to find Persona, but it's hard.
It seems like a very interesting film.
