The Fountain :>



That is one of my favs as well.

One of my favorite movies of all time but I completely understand why it gets 50%. It's beautiful, it's pretentious, it's clever, it's dumb, it's nuanced and it's subtle. If you like it, it's glorious, and if you hate it, it's self indulgent and manipulative. I loved it. I think in some ways it's the perfect movie for me. But I totally get why people dislike it.

You know what's even more uncool? Trashing a reviewer who gave a negative review without even seeing the movie. You know why that happens? Because you're so convinced the movie is going to be the best movie ever that you won't even care how it ends up : you'll just LOVE it.

Question. Did you go into the Avengers thread to complain about the same thing? Because something similar happened with negative reviews then. Or is your trolling limited to Nolan?

And nice to see you overreact when most ppl here are joking about Ebert. Hell I defended him.

 

[Scarecrow]

So is it fair to assume this will be one of the last major releases for the foreseeable future to not be in 3D until the fad returns to hibernation again?

 

[golem]

I feel like I'm reading an Uncharted thread

I think it's here to stay. Unfortunately.

lol. unless this is 10 times worse than most 3rd movies in a trilogy I know I will love it already, I'm a fan of Nolan, you obviously aren't. He's not just gonna stop being a good director... But I'm a guy that easily pleased. I don't go looking for other's options on film or most anything.

Finally caught up with this thread after a long day. It was emotionally outstanding, but the plot was a complete disaster, you know?

It's best to ignore him actually. Don't know why I even replied. His only act is to pop into Nolan movie threads to tell ppl how superior his tastes are and how everyone is wrong for liking the movie.

People aren't allowed to like things I don't like, man, it's totally rational behavior becoming of a person who spends his nights scrambling upon forums such as myself.

Anybody that is interested in possible ending spoilers I posted some in the spoiler thread. I don't know if they're 100% real but just an FYI. Obviously not gonna post them in here.

 

[Blader]

Trying to shine a light on this critical bullying phenomenon that you guys seem to be unaware of, and that's been recently mainly associated with superhero films and.. Nolan.

Such a noble cause. What a hero!

 

[RustyNails]

Watching Batman Begins makes you realize what a shit actress Katie Holmes is. The part where Batman reveals himself to Rachel Dawes by repeating that "It's not who I am underneath" line on the rooftop, Katie Holmes expresses as much shock as finding out that sky is blue.

If we were interested, we would be over there. But thanks. I like the extra anxiety when I click on thread titles.

Yep.

Maggie is a better actress.

I know it's divisive; I just think it's unfortunate that it's a movie some people may never even bother to see if they tend to rely heavily on what the critical consensus is.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I turned off both The Fountain and Tree of Life before it hit the first hour. Awful movies.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Hey, Katie Holmes was good in The Ice Storm back when she was some kid actress

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Yep.

Maggie is a better actress.

People enjoying Maggie's presence? Almost time for another incredible "hello beautiful" knee slapper from one of GAF's finest.

Finders keepers and I found ittt

 

[lilbaby Jesus]

Didn't one of the critics submit a negative review before he even watched the movie?

That's uncool.

Some critics just want to watch the fanboys burn.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Katie Holmes is The Gift that keeps on giving.

I call it the Avengers effect.

in Australia, I can't find it anywhere. When I try to order it in at the retailer I work for it's not in print, and it isn't on iTunes. I love Aronovsky's work, I need to watch this god damn movie.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Pfft.

Katie Holmes in BATMAN BEGINS!

What were we doing again?

 

[NYR]

I turned off both The Fountain and Tree of Life before it hit the first hour. Awful movies.

Tree of Life played like a college art film. Utter shit.

[Blader]

I wish student films were a fraction as interesting as The Tree of Life. Would have made one or two of my classes more bearable.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

Not sure if this is a professional trailer or something put together, but I liked it.

Dark Knight Trilogy Trailer

god damn the ending gave me chills

Great trailer

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

RISE

It even looks like Crane's mask has been stitched so as if to imitate biting ones lip.

 

[brandonh83]

Tree of Life played like a college art film. Utter shit.

I wouldn't call it "shit" but I did not like it at all. I did give it a chance and sat through the whole thing, it was just pretentious from every conceivable angle IMO. Some scenes were so heavy handed and on the nose with its "symbolism" that it made me giggle from time to time.

 

[Quackula]

Are people actually complaining about Ebert giving a 3/4 review?

You realize that's a very, very positive review right?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It's a Terrence Malick film, you either think they're brilliant or ponderous pretentious pieces of piss.

I'm not sure if I've ever read a 3/4 review Ebert where it didn't have an undertone of disappointment to it, which always struck me as a bit odd.

That trailer was pretty good... I'm pumped for the trilogy viewing before midnight.

"... NOT YET..."

Between this and your input on the Seinfeld thread, I think you just stop stating your opinions on anything. It's for the best.

 

[vicissitudes]

Katie Holmes was in Dawson's Creek and her character's name was Rachel Dawes.

Hmmmm.

 

[Mifune]

I'm not sure if I've ever read a 3/4 review Ebert where it didn't have an undertone of disappointment to it, which always struck me as a bit odd.

His Jurassic Park review is the most negative three-star review ever.

 

[brandonh83]

Are people actually complaining about Ebert giving a 3/4 review?

4 stars = Batman Begins
3.5 stars = The Amazing Spider-man
3 stars = The Dark Knight Rises
2 stars = mediocre
1 star = crap

sorry GAF, it is the way of things.

 

[Quackula]

He also gave 3 stars to The Godfather Part II

...and gave 3 1/2 stars to Star Wars Episode III

...man Ebert's all over the place. I like him a lot, but there's plenty of times when I strongly disagree with him or feel he's way off the mark.

I really don't think his scores are intended to be compared to one another. Maybe within the same franchise at best.
