Quentin Tarantino's Western movie "Django Unchained"

dude, YOU DO THIS

seriously i don't.

i'm pretty honest about my shortcomings as a poster and i know i react badly to people trying to troll me or w/e, but i honestly try hard not to post in threads for stuff i hate just to be negative

wd've utterly ignored the Poster Event, but recent ILX developments have reduced my estimation of its Cinema Smarts by approx 99%

so BLAM

you really need to get over the Comedy poll, Morbs.

plus ca change

don't forget ACTION FILMS, VG

i'm surprised your estimation of ilx cinema smarts had any lower to drop, tbh

oh god, the tastes of people on a message board fail to align with some tedious, self-important canon. shock horror.

lol, "tedious, self-important" in Tarantella thread

wow, this time he's using the hanging laundry from Once Upon a Time in the West family slaughter, huh

loooool is that Ray at the beginning?

also lol at Morbs calling out a fake trailer

wheres yer movie smarts now oldster?

i didnt watch it

anyway, enjoy your self-referential cineshit, I'll be watching movies that aren't about bad movies

So the nouvelle vague is right out then.

oh god morbs just shut up already

what's most embarrassing about dr. morbius is that this smugness and condescension he evinces sits very uncomfortably beside the corny and predictable tastes and critical heuristics he uses. it's probably ILX's most critical case of anosognosia. and yes, morbs, i am purposely talking over you, since it is of absolutely no use to talk with you.

i mean every film department is populated with a gaggle of master's students who are about as self-impressed and lacking in insight and wit as dr. morbius, but he pontificates and condescends like he's william f. buckley or something.

lol "anos"

eesh, it's getting a little hot in here

yeah but william f buckley was funny

(sorry morbs, I had to)

"critical heuristics, mmmmm yessss"

...and the fact that he completely ignored the actual results of the comedy poll (which contained plenty of classic stuff) in favour of continually harping about the supposed philistinism of the voters. It's practically psychotic

buckley was kind of handsome sometimes.

I am very disappointed that that was not a picture of Yoda, Morbs.

ass-kissing you guys for putting Buster Keaton 60+ places behind Ivan Reitman, NoNone

Buckley was super-handsome.

i'm going out for some cigarettes, take care of this thread y'all.

xpost yes but Buster Keaton is #1 in your tiny black heart Morbs, and isn't all that really matters

actually "pontificates" is the wrong word, it would imply some kind of sustained riff rather than a series of identical interjections.

joe wilson is a more likely comparison.

^critical amateuristics

can we ban this bore already? i think it would be healthy for him, i suspect he needs a bit of sunshine.

which reminds me: cigarettes.

getting mad about morbs would be like getting mad at statler and/or waldorf

"mmm, yes, Buster Keaton. Very funny, he was. 900 years ago, his movies I saw."

da croupier otm

getting mad about morbs would be like getting mad at statler and/or waldorf

tbf Morbz routine would be much more appealing with a foil/sidekick

Statler and Waldorf are funny

well they had better writers

they're an affectionate parody of something that's unremittingly awful in real life. so thank god morbius is a jolly felt puppet, cuz otherwise...

I'll admit there was a time ILX was "real life" for me

Nothing is real, etc.

tbh this is all that matters to me; Morbs #1

You'll have to get through a lot of #2 to get there.

morbs doesn't anger me; i would characterize it as irritation.

i mean, i don't care if he likes or doesn't like tarantino, or whoever. i can't stand p.t. anderson's films, and i've had interesting conversations with people who love them. at a certain point, we just agree to disagree (maybe one of us has caused the other to rethink things in a way that might pay off months or years later). so this isn't about taste (although, it is irksome that morbius thinks that by announcing his distaste for something he seems to feel like he's upsetting the ILX hivemind or something, when in fact lots and lots of people--even on this site!--share this or that opinion with him). it's a question of how you argue, how you interact with other people--whether you show any respect for them by acknowledging a difference of opinion and then exchange the feelings and/or reasoning behind those opinions. or just needle them over and over and over and etc. about how they are wrong/stupid/predictable and you are not.

or at least if you are just gonna say "yeah, i don't really like back to the future," you can do it in a straightforward --not nasty, not judgmental--way that doesn't imply a total lack of respect for those of a different opinion.

in other words, suggest ban.

I have made my peace with QT. ultimately, we just get off on different things. but i do admire the seeming sincerity he has for his material (there always seems to be an emotional core to his movies, and you get the feeling that this stuff, this way of interpreting the world, really resonates for him). I am anticipating this!

yes, anticipating this!

i sort of doubt it will blow open the windows of my mind but i can't imagine it will be less than entertaining.

xxpost if that's the grounds for banning morbs, it's grounds for banning a whole bunch of other posters who are also generally cool people.

...is my feeling, anyway.

he's totally disrespectful on ILX, which is why I don't mind mocking him here even though I enjoy the guy's presence when we're both at glamorous NY gatherings. But I don't get the point of being po-faced about it; it's pretty clear he doesn't give a fuck so Flag Post, zing or ignore.
