I watched Citizen Kane a few weeks ago. And it was really good, especially considering how old it is, but the simpsons completely ruined it for me.
The Bobo episode is pretty much a complete rip-off of that movie. Basically what I am saying is, that I knew the ending right away...
I have seen most of all your movie choices, Mr. D. They are all good...from what I have seen of them. Actually, I feel like an idiot for saying this,
but can someone explain the movie Donnie Darko to me. In complete detail. I have seen it 3 times and I also own it, but I don't fucking get it.
I keep watching it because I know it is good, but I don't get it! Rip on me if you want, but really, I always understand movies..this one just
perplexes (is that even a proper word?) me.

what does synchartic mean? i don't know if your saying only the first one was good, and if you are you are wrong.
i agree that the star wars was the biggest mistake in movie production...it ruined the amazing trilogy they once had

synchratic is in reference to how, they work together only as three and not standalone greats.
donnie darko explained:
if you really want the explanation, PM me. it's a great movie and i dont want to ruin the ending for anyone.
i encourage all of you to go rent it.
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am
amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record:
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet
had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him
of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are
now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

that was an amazing movie... i have it on DVD... i might just go and watch it again... i dont need to do
any of this homework.... lol. it was amazing, it takes a bit of thought. it makes you wonder if you'd give up you own life to save everyone
around you, it proves how one decision can change everything..... very interesting

has anyone seen Big Fish yet? i am going to see it this weekend, but im not quite sure what to expect due to the mixed reviews. one of my friends said
it was one of the best movies he's seen in a long time (excluding Lord of the Rings), but annother friend of mine said it was boring and didnt
make any sense. i think ill like it, but id like to hear another opinion.

watch "boogie nights", "magnolila" and "punch drunk love" and call me in the morning. you'll feel insulted
by 75% of the movies that are released after watching this holy trinity

and on the same site, if you can find the video for Audioslave's "show me how to live", that is one wicked vid. one of the only new
videos that actually tells a story in the way that movies do. it is made in a Tarentino sort of way, and it is awesome!

in terms of music videos, and music video quality. "Just" by radiohead is by far the best music video i've ever seen.
honorable mention:
fiona apple - "across the universe"
sigur ros - "untitled"
bjork - "it's oh so quiet"

I was approached by Chris Bowes at the show at Clarke Hall a few months back and he told me that I came in second for the video. At first I was kinda
creeped out cause he was like "Are you Paige?" And I didn't know how he knew my name. But I didn't think to ask who got in
first. Stupid, I know. So who was it? Come on, tell us!
The night's as hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town - I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she
wants me. I'm not going to waste one more minute wondering how I've gotten this lucky. She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect
woman... the Goddess. Goldie. She says her name is Goldie.

hey Guys 'n Gals, i just saw Big Fish tonight. WoW. that was a great movie. excluding LOTR it was the best movie i have seen in a really long
time. it sent a great message (i wont say it, so that you guys can see it for yourselves) and it was quite imaginative. the acting was great... i cant
believe that Danny DaVido (sp?) was in it! that was unexpected... anyway, i highly recomend it, cuz i cant really think of a bad thing about it.
bottom line: go see Big Fish. you'll like it, i swear.

Wow, I just saw 'The Butterfly Effect' with Ashton Kutcher. Let me tell you, if your into nosebleeds and full female frontal nudity and
glimpses of male movie stars pubic hairs, this is the movie for you.
But aside from all that, it was a totally killer movie. It had alot of really ''jump of your seat parts'' but it wasn't
scary. An awesome plot and it really makes you think.
************semi-spolier***********************
So basically as a kid, he had a very fucked up life. His dad was a crazy guy and all of this weird shit happend. (I'll let you find out for
yourself) He goes back in time by completely fainting while reading his own jounals. From there, he changes the past. But as he changes one thing,
another(usually bad) thing happens to him. It's a very good movie!
one last show.

Anyone seen this Cabin fever flick? What the hell was that? I highly recomend not seeing it, unless you like b-movie horror flicks that make no sense.
I was intrigued enough to want to hear the commentary on the movie, though. I wanted to know what the actors and fillmakers have to say about this
bizarre movie. All they did was talk about "boy meets world" and how amazing the movie is and how hard it is for Rider Strong to
transition from TV to movie acting. At least they talked alot. Compared to some Commetaries out there where you get left in silence for half the film.
