    I agree. The narrative discourse of this film & quality of it's cinematography just puts it ahead of Bent Over Bitches 2.

    All total rubbish. I quite like watching "The Day After Tomorrow" for all the technical faux pas in it.

    I'm quite partial to anything directed by Spielberg or scored by John Williams. Also the LOTR trilogy, King Kong, Gladiator and other epics not starring Colin Farrell, though he was excellent in The Minority Report.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    Inception is brilliant.



    Nah.. I'm joking. It's actually shit.

    Mention of this reminded me of The Hunted, starring Tommy Lee Jones, and The Hunted starring Christopher Lambert. Two great movies.

    Almost anything with Steve McQueen and almost nothing with Sylvester Stallone, barring Cliffhanger and First Blood.

    Most recently, I've enjoyed:
    Inglorious Basterds
    The Hurt Locker
    Kick Ass
    Shutter Island

    What's sometimes good for movie ideas is searching actors you like on IMDB.
    Or you can work your way down this list in case there's anything you missed (some completely overrated shít on that list, but it's an of-all-time list, so you can find gems from way back).

    We all remember the eggs hatching towards the end of Godzilla.

    I assume the poster means Toho man in a rubber suit madness, and not that f'ing awful twat-in-the-hat title song Yankee Doodle version.

    Poster: Rubber suit, or twat-in-the-hat?

    I would imagine Godzilla 2 never came out because Godzilla (1) was a really bad movie.

    I don't remember the eggs hatching, I've only ever seen bits of it on TV when there was GAA, football, golf, boxing, Late Late Show on all other channels.

    :)
