re: In this thread we discuss our unpopular opinions on movies and tv

Ok ok. If we're going to call out 60's movies. I hated The Graduate. Yeah, I can see how it was revolutionary for the time with the editorial cuts, the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack, and culminated the 1960's zeitgeist.
I also like Dustin Hoffman. With literally all due respect to the film, to me, it was very much a movie of the time, but the time has past.

I almost agree with you (I think that Reservoir Dogs might be the best). All other Tarantino movies seam to rely on a handful of over-the-top scenes, while Jackie Brown has a tighter, more linear plot, and does not relay on a few shocking scenes. It's better than Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, etc.

I know that we are posting unpopular opinions, but I can't less this silliness slide without calling it out.

John Wayne sucked?
Have you watched (with an open mind) The Searchers, or The Man who shot Libert Valance?
These were great movies and one of the reasons is because John Wayne was great in them.

Unpopular opinion: History of the World part 1 just isn't funny anymore. It doesn't hold up.
Even when it came out, the Borscht Belt type of comedy of Mel Brooks was feeling really dated. But it does contain (IMO) one of the funniest scenes to ever be out on film: Moses coming down from the mountain with "these 15...no, make that 10 commandments", after dropping and smashing on of the tablets.

Pulp Fiction is #1, obviously, but Jackie Brown is way underrated. Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is my top three.

The novel is a satire of upper class SoCal WASPs. But as Mad magazine wrote in their parody, "Mom! Dad! Why are you WASPs and I'm Jewish?"
Not the first time Nichols did this. In Virginia Woolf he cast George Segal as the young husband. He often comes across more as an irritated NYC intellectual than a naive young husband from Kansas.

Frieren has zero reason to mourn over the loss of Himmel after she ghosted him for about 80 years.
She knew damn well how he felt about her.
* see? Unpopular opinion!

The Big Lebowski is the greatest stoner noir movie ever made. A top ten film for me.

His range was limited, but he could be very effective within that range.

I know, it's just my opinion man. Another stupid line.

quote:National Lampoon was often brilliantquote:Strongly disagree with this one. National Lampoon magazine stood out as raunchy but still wildly clever in the mid-to-late 70s...Animal House was the first mainstream movie that really captured that ethos.
Animal House sucks, and was horribly damaging in its influence on movie comedy
AH has essentially nothing to do w/NL, despite having 2 NL writers. It apparently began life as a movie version of the great HS yearbook parody. But the producers moved it up to college so they could put more sex in it. That was the start of the vulgarization process that basically turned it into '70s burlesque.
Early SNL was in fact closer to the Lampoon in spirit, especially when the brilliant former Lampoon writer Michael O'Donoghue was on staff.

I can't watch a TV show anymore. I don't have the attention span and I think acting has gotten pretty bad.
I watch documentaries and movies (if they can capture my interest)

The Shining is slow, boring, and not remotely scary.
When Kubrick released it overseas, he cut 25 minutes from it.

Nolan is a hack. He is nothing more than McG with a bigger budget.

Speaking of SNL and the "Golden Age cast", Belushi was overrated, Chase was a one trick pony (watch his audition tape - he can't do anything but fake sincerity), Aykroyd had no personality, Gilda Radner was as overrated as Belushi, and the other women were dull
Agree 100%
I'd throw The Blues Brothers in as a real overrated horse shi= movie.

That's not accurate at all. It was inspired/written by a guy's fraternity experience at Dartmouth.

The version I read is the success of the HS yearbook (much of which was written by Doug Kenney) started talk of a movie based on it. The yearbook owner and the AH frat pledge have the same name: Larry Kroger.
The locale was moved to college by the studio. Miller at this point adds his frat experiences at Dartmouth.
