Requiem For A Dream (Not so much love, but am deeply disturbed by. I've decided the fact that I avoid watching it again because of how disturbing it was makes it a great movie)
i don't remember if i put it on my list or not but i actually do love that movie ....... seen it only once and loved it and prolly won't watch it again anytime soon
i couldn't get over it for about a week

i also wanted to ask you guys about Full Metal Jacket
someone told me about it and that person said it's a war movie ...... and i'm not really into war movies but i do like psychological stuff
well look at my movie lies and let me know if you think i'll enjoy that movie b/c i don't wanna watch it and then walk around all sad for a few days

"The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care .... right ?"

Well...I dunno you could probably handle it. A lot of it is war but from my point of view the most memorable and well done parts of the movie are in the boot camp parts. There is still plenty of material many would find disturbing.


If you like psychological stuff you should see Apocalypse Now, if you haven't already. An excellently filmed movie that also happens to be set during the Vietnam War.

"Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear."

All Monty Python's, Space oddessy, and Donny Darko

"How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?"

Full Metal Jacket is best known for the first half hour (or however long it is) at the boot camp... i really loved the very end of the movie as well tho.... all the stuff in the middle just moves to slowly for me however. it gives me that "numb" feeling.... just like all of Stanley's other movies.... not that they are bad, i actually love them... they just make me feel numb.... guess its hard to explain

"I am Akba-Atatdia"

"No one ever won a war by sitting in a ditch"

IR: Hackers wasn't too bad for a hackers film... I mean Swordfish was WAY worse. And Hackers had a KILLER soundtrack.

Insurrection wasn't too bad... generations was worse, wouldn't you say?

Did you like matrix 3 more than 2?

I definitely think Escape from LA should be on that list, along with The Postman.

"Hating everyone protects me from elitism."

haha The Postman.... its Dances With Wolves gone horribly horribly HORRIBLY wrong!

oh and for the record, i LOVE Return of the King, TT pissed me off because i was expecting Shelob to show up and... no dice! plus it was nothing but action, they kinda forgot about plot in the second one, but made up for it in the last ^_^

"I am Akba-Atatdia"

I agree with Wyote about TTT in that it was way to actiony- that battle seemed so much less important than in the movie- I was hoping for a lot more ent action dissapointed but not totally disgusted.
I had the good sense to stay away from the postman and Esxcape from LA I beleive you that they are bad- I will go with the crowd on that one.
Decius- Insurection seemed so bland and lifless and cheesy it seemed like it was written by someone who never saw Star Trek at all. Generations I though at first was lowsy but now I have to say it is one of my faves.
