Anybody else hate the Dark Knight? over 3 years ago

I loved it.
I agree that it is not the best film ever, but I think that it could be argued as the most universally entertaining movie of all time. Maybe

Films that changed how you looked at cinema over 3 years ago

When I saw Elephant I realized that I was in to different movies than what there were previews for on TV
and Seven Samurai opened my eyes to foreign films

If someone had described Elephant to me I would have said that it sounds pretty boring, but when I saw it I realized that I liked films that most of my friends would describe as boring. It opened my eyes to art house films.

GREAT USE OF MUSIC IN FILMS over 3 years ago

I really loved the score to The Hours and Notes on a Scandal
Philip Glass is the man

I also think that there are many great rock music moments in Revisor Dogs and Pulp Fiction

And in There Will Be Blood when we see HW and the girl start to fall in love. The music there is beautiful

Opinions of Van Sant? over 3 years ago

I am a huge GVS fan. I have seen Milk and loved it. More in the line of Good Will Hunting rather than Elephant.

My favorite of his films are Elephant and Paranoid Park. And I totally understand where people are coming from with the whole “It’s over indulgent” feeling. But I like it.
And I thought the middle section of Paranoid Park is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen

Closet Oscar Fans? over 3 years ago

I like the oscars
Usually my favorite film of the year is not involved, even though last year There Will Be Blood got a ton of nominations
It’s fun
I guess they are pretty often right on the best hollywood movies of the year, at least with nominations

Best or Favorite Opening Sequence over 3 years ago

On a less “serious film” note
Office Space

But yeah I forgot about Magnolia’s opening
amazing
