movies

I wish Mel Brooks was still around making movies so he could spoof independent movies. They're completely ripe for it.

Paging Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy...

No, that's ok.

Pacific Rim was pretty entertaining. Some of the action scenes I could hardly keep track of, but whatever. Big robots and monsters. Yay.

I saw someone on Twitter comparing Pacific Rim to Tarantino's films in the sense that he wears his influences on his sleeve. And I think that's dead on. You can tell the dude grew up with Japanese monster movies, goofy 50s and 60s sci-fi, and classic horror. There are even a handful of Star Wars references in there.

Not that you need to know or understand any of that to appreciate it. It's [expletive] fun as hell all by itself. Stringer Bell and Charlie Kelly get together with a bunch of other people around the world, and robots, to save the world from destruction by gigantic monsters. What's not to love?

yeah pacific rim was entertaining...........not good; but entertaining. the fighting scenes were pretty freaking cool. but the acting?....oh my. people were laughing throughout. not at the funny parts either. because the acting was sooooo terrible. but in a way, the bad acting made it better. if you tried to have great/serious acting with such a weird ass plot? prob would've been worse.

i still get sucked into SOA every year....but the guy is a TERRIBLE actor.

I laughed out loud at scenes about ten times during moments so corny I gotta figure even the actors were laughing on set.

I haven't seen it yet. But I think you guys are appreciating the movie for what it's supposed to be. I saw this review on RT:

Del Toro is reveling in blockbuster clichés at the same time he's pounding them into the pavement, and somehow that self-consciousness lets us all in on the joke.

3man i think we're the only two people on the face of the earth who liked Spring Breakers.

Everyone i have talked to that has seen it absolutely hated it and i have read nothing but terrible reviews.
