a noisy piece of classical music
But classical music is awesome! Also:
That track ('Battle Without Honor or Humanity') -- like 'Ride of the Valkyries' -- improves *any* activity.
If you get the chance, check out The Expendables [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320253/]. Bad guy and beautiful hostage running across an airfield to a helicopter, no more than a football field away. Walking, it'd take five minutes. Running, far less. Running for their lives as Sly and his buddies blow things up and kill other, lesser, bad-guys? The laws of physics break, as the helicopter stays the same distance away for the entire fifteen minute fight scene, until being blown-up before the Bad Guy gets away.
Man, when I was twelve, this would have been the coolest movie ever!

Haven't seen it.
Wadda mean when you were 12, I love Hollywood action movies, that are so realistic!
But then I go with my buddies, Mickey & Mighty Mouse. 
I honestly think they have gone above and beyond the intelligence of the watchers ... 15 minutes to run across a football field, helicopters that are the same distance away for 15 minutes. And I'll bet it wasn't in slow motion either! And all that firepower and they can't get them? Bet they had their "Hollywood" firearms too - you know the ones, 9mm pistols that have 5000 rounds in the magazines, 50mm cannons that have ammo belts that have to be ten miles long, carried over their shoulders, and NEVER over heat or jam up!
Oh, wait a minute:
The film received mixed reviews from critics but was very successful commercially, opening at number one at the box office in the United States, the United Kingdom, and China.
... that's the key: very successful commercially - who cares what the critics say.
Gimme a break, Mickey, Mighty and I go for the popcorn anyway!!

See that's what I mean ... I didn't hear a single blade gitting another blade, and as we all know a beautiful, angry, blond, lady dressed in yellow to match her hair is always going to beat a bunch of trained ninja types.
Forget about the oriental school girl in her plaid skirt - she's a Bill Killer ...
I gotta change my name!
You watch a Tarantino movie and you're expecting realism? 
I for one am waiting to see Tron: Legacy 
You watch a Tarantino movie and you're expecting realism?
Absolutely ... errrrrr NOT!!!!!! hahahaha
Hey, I'm here talking movies .. and playing the devils advocate as well.
But I really don't like the sound tracks in movies, I'd prefer hearing what would be there naturally.
Mind you some blond bombshell beating up a bunch of ninja types at their own game isn't natural is it.
jajajajajajajaja

RE: The Expendables [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320253/]
OK, so I saw it ... it was given to me for a week (I get two like that).
PURE HOLLYWOOD! Fun for the kid in you ... it starts noisy and stays noisy right to the end.
The kid in me loved it.
The adult in me was shaking his head - no acting anymore - all special affects. Movies that lack a good story line win with special effects (sometimes!)
Bad guy and beautiful hostage running across an airfield to a helicopter, no more than a football field away.
See that's where you're not quite right, Sly and buddies weren't just blowing things up. They were blowing up the whole world, toppling entire buildings and reinforced gun towers as if they were balsa wood, destroying EVERYTHING in sight and bad guy and beautiful hostage don't even get hurt!
Walking, it'd take five minutes. Running, far less.
With the way things were blowing up I think I'd run that in 9.43 seconds flat! Adrenaline is a wonderful thing!
Man, when I was twelve, this would have been the coolest movie ever!
There was one piece of truth in the whole thing! Sly's response to:
"What's his problem?"

Calling all moderators: - merge these maybe?

Bump~
Haha I did my first thread merging!
Congratulations and thanks anonymous (and Sector 11 for the splendid idea).
Let's see... Ran across Revolution OS the other day, really cool documentary of Linux. Terminator Salvation and The Girl Who Played With Fire are the only other ones that come to mind that were actually memorable. Although Scott Pilgrim was a hoot.
Getting ready to watch the best so-bad-it's-good movie ever made, in shrined in my childhood memories as "the ultimate."
Red Dawn
That's right; an entire movie devoted to red-neck 'Merican values, shooting Commies, and blowing stuff up. Reality has no place in this movie - Peter Pan would be more true to life than this flick. But, again when I was twelve, and the communist Russians were the worst people ever (except for the Nazi's - maybe) and I thought Ronald Regan was the best president EVER, this was the Best Movie.
Although, unlike the Expendables, it doesn't have Dolf Lungren in it, so how could it have been the Best? It hurts when my childhood illusions are shattered. [sniff]
Favorite non-action: Wristcutters: A Love Story
Favorite action: The Boondock Saints.
I'd probably vote The Boondock Saints as the greatest movie of all time period if there was ever such a thing to vote for.
Aw, man, I totally forgot about Boondock Saints. Going to gave to dig around a bit and see if I can't find where I left it.
'cus nothing says Christmas like a Boondock Saints and Red Dawn double-feature!
Funny Games by Michael Haneke is definitely my favorite!
My favourite movie is Back To The Future, because it has a great plot, great actors and actresses, and great humour. Overall, IMHO, I think it is a great movie.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
National treasure And hell yeah THE GODFATHER SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:
The Dark Knight
My favorite scary movie: Final Destination series
