Official Summer Movie Thread... Are they all going to suck?

You are out of line and I'll tell you why.

I posted an opinion about a movie that I think is not only worth watching but probably has Oscar potential. And I get this response:

And then I get this dullard response:

Piss standing up?

Make old ladies cry?

That's the response of an adult?

Tell you what. Go see the fucking movie. And then get back to me.

In the meantime don't lecture me about "simple entertainment"

I get it.

Mostly it's for simpletons.

 

My point about condescending went right over your head, eh?

Frankly, I have no interest in a movie recommended by you. I'm sure you will use that to call me a simpleton or some other bullshit, but I realize that I just don't have the same taste as a certain pretentious poster on this particular board.

 

The new Luc Besson flick ( "Angel-a") opened in New York and El Lay this weekend. I saw it several weeks back via the French DVD (I'm one of those lucky souls who has been able to turn off the region code programming on my DVD player). It's his best since "Leon" (cut and released in the US as "The Professional")...sort of a funnier, sweeter "Leon" with less action and elements of "It's a Wonderful Life" thrown in for good measure. Definitely not Oscar material but probably better than 90% of the studio releases this year. There's definitely far worse ways to spend 90 minutes of your life.

 

I think when the summer is over the Simpsons movie will be THE movie everyone's talking about.
Great writing makes for great movies, especially animated ones. The Simpsons writers are the best comedy writers out there and they've been doing it for more than a decade.

 

Great, great post. Dead on.

 

JR, start a thread about small, arthouse releases that are not getting enough attention. We dullards will stay here.

 

Bring a boatload of caffeine because if not, you'll be snoozing...

 

I think the phony proletarian outrage, and the "piss standing up" attempts at humor, and the "you're just an elitist" are the least compelling arguments on this site ever.

 

Seen 20 minutes of Transformers...it will finish behind Shrek and Spidey as the no. 3 movie of the summer. It's funny and pretty intense.

But then again, I liked Spidey 3 and really enjoyed Pirates last night.

My favorite movie of the year remains "The Lookout."

Fracture is still in theaters and it's worth a look if you wanna movie that doesn't involved ear-splitting bombs.

 

Right behind commenting about them.
