The General Film Discussion thread

[bradavon]

I figured we should have a general film related thread (except Asian obviously). Maybe make it sticky? I'll kick it off:

Four out of five tell The Godfather of all lies about seeing classic films:

Ha ha. I better watch Casablanca. I've seen the rest.

[saltysam]

i haven't seen Casablanca or Citizen Kane.

[grim_tales]

Guess I better see Citizen Kane then, I've seen or own the rest
1) Godfather: Seen
2) Casablanca: Own/Seen
3) Taxi Driver: Own/Seen
4) 2001: Seen
5) Res Dogs: Own/Seen

I don't see the point in lying, I always say if I haven't seen a film, and it's often because I have no interest in seeing it (e.g. The Godfather, Casablanca, and Taxi Driver).

[bradavon]

You've no interest in seeing those films? Why?

Citizen Kane isn't mentioned and yes it was way ahead of it's time from a technical aesthetic but bloody hell it's boring. I'll never be seeing it again.

[gasteropod]

You've no interest in seeing those films? Why?

I don't like gangsters, I don't like romantic drama set during World War II, and I don't like taxi drivers.

I think that stupid Guardian poll is total and utter bullshit and anyone who takes that as fact is a mental ignorant fuck never heard such shite in all my life. No one lies about what they have seen, moronic thing to even post I say.

Haven't seen 2001 or Citizen Kane.

[bradavon]

2001 is a masterpiece. Truly outstanding. It took me two viewings to appreciate it. I was a teenager and crucially it was a 4:3 video the first time I saw it.

As usual not bothering to actually read the article hey Romero? It's a Love Film poll . They're the biggest film rental company in the country.

never heard such shite in all my life. No one lies about what they have seen, moronic thing to even post I say.

Of course they do. I've been around people who've done it.

[grim_tales]

Its just a survey/poll Romero, as with all polls it depends who's asked/how many.

[bradavon]

It's also "just" a poll, don't take it so seriously.

[grim_tales]

Yeah exactly

[romerojpg]

Bullshit, the poll is crap, end of.

That says a lot about the people you hang around with then. Or a lot about you,

[bradavon]

No seriously, it's just a poll . No one is making this up.

Do you feel better now?

he has a point though. do you hang around people who actively lie about films they have/haven't seen.?? how odd.

[Yi-Long]

There are LOTS of 'classics' I haven't seen yet. I did see Godfather although I'm not sure if I finished any of them...

I haven't seen Casablanca, I haven't seen 2001, I haven't seen Taxi Driver, and I haven't seen a whole bunch of others either. I sure as hell wouldn't lie about it though. What's the use!?

I DID see Requiem for a Dream though, and that sucked!

Didn't we have a topic once about which classics we haven't seen yet!? I believe we did.

[bradavon]

"In my life time" . . . I've been around people who've done it.

Better?

Better?[/quote] How do you know they were lying? you've shown here on a couple of occasions that you've forgotten the end of films you've seen but no-one thinks you've lied about having seen them.

[saltysam]

Arnie back to the Terminator Franchise?
