After an hour and a half of crazy action and gore in Planet Terror, I was so charged up that Death Proof brought me way down to the point where I didn't even give a shit about the car chase in the end.

I will admit I thought Death Proof should have been the first movie. I watched then separately since and the longer cuts. I like the longer cuts better.

Planet Terror had it's moments but alot of the jokes fell flat. I don't know why more stuff just didn't end on the cutting room floor, if you packed all the cool stuff together it could have been a killer movie.

It also gets better with each viewing, IMO.

i liked death proof more than planet terror . planet terrors best moments were all shown in the tv trailers so when i finally saw the movie it was a big letdown especially with all the jumps in the movies timeline.

I also liked Death Proof, but I haven't seen a full Kurt Russell movie, and man is he terrifying.

Saw Billy Madison over the weekend. I liked this movie as a child, and as I'm older, I'm starting to like it less and less.

Also saw the Descendants, a great movie.

Boy Wonder: if you like movies see it now on netflix amazing flick. makes me think what batamn should have really been like growing up.

tombstone is a must that movie is ing classic. the thing and escape are also classics imo movies you can watch over and over.

I love Big Trouble in Little China. Not a good movie, but so fun to watch.

Tombstone is a great movie, as lokizz said. Not just Kurt Russell, but also Val Kilmer (who just does an amazing job).

val kilmer made that ing movie for me his doc holiday was awesome. i liked johnny ringo as well the guy who played him has done alot of cool roles ( i think he was in the first terminator and aliens) .

The Big Lewbowski - 7/10 A bit too long for a stoner movie and wasn't really funny

Dazed And Confused - 8/10 Back in my teen years I would've appreciated it more. but still the best teen movie in the 90's

I was never impressed nor found The Big Lebowski funny either. If I tell someone that though they act like I had just killed their dog.

The Road. Holy shit that movie is depressing. I ever read the book so I knew what to expect.

Yeah, but the thing about it for me was not so much the primary story, but the little things. After I watched it, I spent literally hours thinking about the people in the movie with no thumbs, which the book didn't even explain. Wondering what the meaning was.

Because the movie implies the people with thumbs missing that they meet on the road are the "good people." Like a visual cue to the audience as to who the predators were and who the prey was. The theory is that they were escapees from those cannibal farms. That they were "hobbled" by having their thumbs cut off so they couldn't escape, taking away their ability to rise up and use weapons against their captors, to pick the locks on shackles, etc.

One crazy theory I heard was that the missing thumbs were the people who considered cannibalism and just ate their thumbs to try it out...but that makes no sense to me. I'd have just cut a slab off beef off my ass cheek and grilled it.

But yeah, the movie was sad as . Not so much the main characters, because they laid it on thick. But just the way you felt a subconscious fear of ever having to live in the world if it got that bad. Made The Postman look like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

It's not a good movie. It's an awesome movie.

I just read a review of Wes Anderson's latest. Will avoid that er like the plague. Rushmore wasn't so bad, but the goddamned Tennebaums was too much. And then whatever else came next. Goddamit.

It's Bill Murray, that's what got me to watch them (for the Aquatic one, it had Goldblum, too). Everything but Rushmore kills Murray's vibe.

I don't understand Anderson's bidness at all. Twee doesn't begin to describe it. It's honestly the most annoying movie bullshit going. The visuals, the goddamn soundtrack, in portugese Bowie. Michael Bay has nothing on that dude.

EDIT: While I'm hatin on mofos, why has anyone ever given a shit about Kevin Smith or his movies? They are not good. But I guess if you make enough bullshit comics allusions, they'll forgive you anything, Kevin.

I'm gonna put you on ignore so I never check out any of your movie recommendations.
