And remember, these were the super-terrifying creatures from the first movie, who just got dispatched by a kid doing gymnastics.

In what timeline is The Lost World considered a "good movie"? That whole thing was a piece of watery shit.
See you are a reasonable human being.
I want to love LOTR as I know it's so epic.
I bought all three blu ray's like 2 months ago, and really tried. By the time I got into the 2nd, I gave up half way through. I love every actor in that movie, Elijah Wood is great. But I just hate how he plays Frodo it's so fucking cheesy, I cringe and get angry watching it haha. I am so fucked up arn't I?

Nah he's right, if you're a big fan of the books I'm sure seeing it on screen is awesome but really I was bored to tears during all three movies.

I'm going to go ahead and blaspheme and say I did not enjoy any of the LoTR films; second was probably my favorite. Bad? No, definitely not. They just never clicked for me and I think Peter Jackson is highly overrated.
Smart poker is interesting enough on its own. I can think of a few hand scenarios that would have been even more interesting -- that aren't necessarily cooler hands.
Me too, bro. Nothing is worse than the language used in some instances, however. "I'll see your raise," followed by "and raise [x amount]." That would be poor etiquette, not to mention invalid. Announcing a call locks you into it. Meh.
Absolutely one of the worst.
Oh I know I agree 100% I hate the movies. But shittttt storm is coming hard and fast!
If we can diss Kpop, and get PopGAF in here we can have the perfect shit storm.
I don't mind Lord of the Rings. My roommate was addicted to them so much though that I started to despise the thought of them. The dude seriously popped in one of the movies every day after work. If I wasn't traumatized by that day in and day out for two years I think I'd consider them great movies. But I just can't now.
I can't imagine how anyone would think they're boring though.
Legolas shield surfing is the worst scene in the whole trilogy. That Galadriel scene is cool if you ask me. Shows how tempting the ring is.

The Lost World isn't as bad as many of its detractors say, to my eyes, it has it's moments. Spielberg is there, with his uncanny ability for visuals and populist entertainment, he makes this movie really sing in places that call for spectacle, like the double T-Rex attack that sends the trailer over the cliff, or the big city attack in the film's climax. The best character from JP, Dr. Malcolm is brought back and is center-stage, his wry cynical science bent and too-cool black ensemble perfect for Goldblum's kind of charisma. Spielberg is also gifted with an incredibly ace team to aid his filmmaking, Januz Kamiski's grubby, dirty cinematography is always interesting, ILM does a wonderful job for the most part of combining analog and CGI together, and I have to say, this may be the best score John Williams has done in decades.
It's too bad so much else of the movie sucks, but it's not all bad.

No he hasn't unless we discuss how someone has been living under a rock while the trilogy gets constant and continual praise.

Not necessarily a good movie imo, but I'd say but the slo-mo sex scene in Watchmen.
Mother of God... I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed watching a movie in a cinema before

He would be a great pg for the Lakers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. They play baccarat in the book.
2. It's unrealistic because it is dramatized for film.
Ugh, this is pure saccharine tripe.

What? That is one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.
It's the Citizen Kane of fight scenes
That scene MADE that movie.
It's boring, it's unnecessary and it's overtly long. To me it almost ruined the movie.

The gratuitous sex scenes in Game of Thrones. Gives an otherwise good show a pulp, ridiculous kind of feel.

You either love or hate the fight sequence in They Live. Personally, I think it's kinda brilliant in it's terribleness.
The Merry/Pippin pillow fight was totally idiotic.

Blade Runner is my favorite movie, and as many times as I've seen it, I still think this scene is more disconcerting than when
the prodigal son brings death.
Back in October 2007, when the Final Cut came out, I attended a panel in NYC where four scholars presented essays on Blade Runner. The fourth one started her essay by telling everyone in the crowd, all of whom were (presumably) hardcore Blade Runner fans, that she did not like the movie.
You could've cut the tension with a knife
(blade, lol)
Then the moderator called her a replicant, and things eased up. Her basic summery was that everything in the movie was sexual, there was dildo imagery everywhere, and the love scene you're referencing had a "cheesy" score by Vangelis. After she finished, Hampton Francher (co-writer of the movie), who was sitting right behind me, told her that 1) he thought her essay was confusing and 2) he LOVED Vangelis' work and felt it added considerably to the scene. It was great.
There's a video somewhere showing the first half of the panel, the section with the four scholars. The second section, where several of the BR production crew spoke, was unfortunately not filmed (as far as I know). I'll edit it into this post if I can find it.
I used to watch this movie a lot, and always made a point of skipping those scenes. The movie essentially became about Obi-Wan at that point.

The ending scene in War of the Worlds.
With the son.
Gives me a pulp.
I'll see myself out.
I actually think the unabashed approach to sex is well-done. HBO ::bow::
Anyone faulting Vangelis doesn't "get" Blade Runner.

nah, it feels truly excessive at times. as in, they are doing it for marketing purposes and not necessarily for the benefit of the scene.
Oh God this is so true. I hadn't seen X in years and watched it a few months back and despite the movie having this odd appeal and being well shot/directed a few scenes like this stand out.
Hard to watch to say the least, because its just laughable at best. Not that white guys can't out play black players ... but that the idea that some skinheads who aren't even 6' are out there rocking the asphalt

The scene where he basically rapes Rachel is there to juxtapose Deckard's view of replicants with the audience's discomfort of a man forcing himself on an entity indistinguishable from a woman. It's not tone deaf.

I love the movie, but I often have a hard time viewing that scene with other people. They're often not sure if they should laugh at the music or be disturbed by the rape-y attitude Deckard adopts.
no need to cause a ruckus over one man being wrong as fuck
i think you just hate being happy Solo.
The books are like that though.

no it's not. In the books, the sexual relationship between Renly Baratheon and Loras Tyrell is always hinted at, never described in explicit detail.
That prostitute torture scene with Joff wasnt in the books, nor was the Baelish monologue with the hookers.
the book uses vulgar language to describe sex acts, but it's not exactly excessive about it. I mean, a sex scene is over in a paragraph. the books arent like romance novels. The shit isnt drawn out.

I really like the parallels it draws to Sauron's descent into evil.
