[quote name='argyle']I think it's funny that some people get all bent out of shape about people enjoying mindless movies. Why can't I "switch off" and enjoy something like Fantastic Four or League of Extrordinary Gentlemen every once in a while? Movies are made for entertainment, and sometimes I just want to watch a flashy action flick. I might be up for something more intellectual the next time I watch a movie, but as long as whatever I watch entertains me it's served its purpose.[/QUOTE]
i know what you mean, but learning about how films are made is a double-edged sword. it's hard to enjoy them the way you used to. i just find a lot of what people find acceptable is because it has a hot actress or pretty visuals...the art of storytelling seems to be fading away. to me, story comes first.
[quote name='javeryh']Yeah, I just don't have time to watch a lot of movies so when I actually do I try and stick to genres I know I will like.[/QUOTE]
expand your horizons and you might be rewarded. i feel like a broken record, but give chunking express a try. it's kinda a romantic film (the mrs. will like it), but it has the vibe of an action flick. it's subtitled, but not hard to follow. great team too...wong kar wai directing, chris doyle shooting, and tony leung acting...my dream team.
