[Closed] Recent Viewing Part III

Independence Day is currently showing on Film4.
Shame about the score.

You find his voice annoying?

You're certainly sliding into something.

It's a shame really because the opening 15-20 minutes or so are actually promising.

and then it turns into one of the worst blockbusters ever made.

Can't believe the hate for ID4.

I loved it in 1996. I've watched it about 15 times since then. One of the most entertaining flicks I've ever seen.

It beats the hell out of The Dark Knight.

Oh my now I've started something.

I love it, too!

It's entertaining in places, but infinitely more cliched and stupid. Plus the whole America, Fuck Yeah! side of it.

The Dark Knight is my kinda blockbuster.

And the dog.

It must be one of the lowest intelligence films ever. It's so cheesily underestimating its audience's intelligence it actually aches and the yet again and so 90's america theme is disgustingly portrayed. The score though, the score is the only justification for its poor existence. I am not saying you shouldn't be liking it if that's what you do, but 15 times mate? Seriously? Why not invest some of that time to investigate perhaps lesser know but more valuable and / or simply different aspects of world cinema?

I've watched the film dozens of times and LOVE every moment of it.

Actually, you know what D... I do find some of your comments extremely insulting. ID4 is nothing more than a popcorn adventure film. It wasn't suppose to be anything more than that. And if someone happens to like or love that film doesn't mean that they have a low IQ. And if someone wants to watch one of their favorite films 5 billion times what's it to you? Maybe "world cinema" isn't there thing? But then again, that makes them stupid does it? But then again I seem to remember you LOVING The Happening which is quite possibly the most idiotic film ever made... so what does that make you?

See my point?

-Erik-

No, in fact quite the opposite: he said the film does underestimate the viewers' intelligence.
And whether or not you're entertained by that, it does.
I cannot but agree.

Not that I'd want to get involved.
Obviously.

I felt that as a movie it was underestimating my intelligence and the audience's as well. I described how the movie made ME felt and how I see it. If you read my post exactly, i also wrote:



I don't care if you love the film, it's your right to do so and i said that as it's also you're right to like whatever you want. But if you're getting touchy and insulted so easily it's not my problem really; you're such a big no-go in some territories, like a big baby.

Get over it.

For me, The president of the friggin US boarding an f-14 or whatever that plane was and blowing up aliens is nowhere near the happening or many other movies for the matter.

There's so much more movies out there, same goes for composers, getting overlooked 'cause of some people being glued to the same subjects all the time. I don't give a fuck if you like it so much it's your problem, but watching it 15 times is a bit of an over-kill imo, that's what i am pointing at.

But in general, I don't know, do whatever you want. But if you want to have the right to declare it around in forums as an actual argument, then i also have the right to call it crap and unintelligent IF it's how i perceive it.

I'm not really looking for anything serious.

Yeah. I agree.



Oh, I completely agree.
Just casual sex.
Preferably not with you.
