zing

Oh yeah, me too, just doing some armchair analysis.

i dunno what this makes me but the more i read morbs on film the more i agree with him (with a few decent-sized exceptions)

if UP IN THE AIR takes Best Screenplay over this it's a crime

They are in different categories; UitA is adapted from a novel. This is "original," and would lose to the oh-so "original" Quentin Tarantino if it was nominated, which it won't be.

what was the least original thing about the tarantino script, in your opinion?

i mean, why aren't YOU accepting approaches to music other than your own when you listen to r&b?

nice work lj

pointing out lex hypocrisy isn't exactly a zing at this point is it?

you could say the writing's on the wall

get it, r&b, and... nevermind

it seems weird to me that the public (at least on the internet) seems ovewhelmingly behind Conan and yet Leno is the guy NBC trusts with the ratings. "silent majority" eh? I don't know anyone who likes Leno.

Since you don't prejudge anything ever, why don't you go review the diviest-lookin greasy spoon in Mtl tonight. I'm sure it will be delicious!

Guys, when you're my age, you will know what you like by the degree to which ppl with awful taste chatter about it for 3 months. Or you'll still be loving "postmodern" drive-in movies.

jaymc, I liked Titanic and will see Avatar when I have a chance, so stfu.

cross ref that one in truth bombs

You liked Titanic?

I liked the first 6 hours of it. The last 3 hours dragged.

big improvement once 'berg hit

Actually yeah, that's true. My wife loved the movie, so I had to sit through it several times. I liked it the first time, then the sec. . . zzzzzzzzzz

the middle section is good but the start and end suck imo

i wld like this movie at least 80% more if leonardo di caprio's drawings weren't so shit

i wasn't trying to zing shakey! he said 'silent majority' in his post!

besides, the kael quote is apocryphal, and if true, probably ironic

i love greasy spoons!

but seriously... if something doesn't seem my thing... i don't spend tons of time and energy talking about how terrible it is if i don't even bother to check it out myself! like, this hypothetical restaurant of yours, i might not review it, but i wouldn't talk at length about how awful it was until I TRIED IT!

u think i have awful taste :(

I dunno, I think it's OK to talk about stuff you don't like too.

("Titanic" I thought was atrocious, BTW)

would love to see slocki's daily reviews of the same greasy spoon he's never been to

i didn't say that.

u saw titanic, right?

I saw "titanic", yes. LOLed from time to time at its terribleness while watching it, felt really miserable abt how bad it was afterwards.

I nmean, until I saw "Baise-Moi", Ithought it was the worst movie ever made!

"until i saw" < - key words

OK!

I mean, until I saw "Baise-Moi", I thought (Titanic) was the worst movie ever made!

It's better than The Doom Generation

u guyz r ruining the zing thread

u think i have awful taste :(

Not always, just when you boys get in a group and start talkin bout yr best friend "QT" and which of the subplots he spoke about in that one interview 3 years ago will end up on the DVD.

Since I have been known to quote Wrath of Khan and Planet of the Apes in strange contexts, perhaps I just like "fanboy" movies that are good.

and obv Titanic would've been better as a silent made by Guy Maddin

well i cant argue with THAT

sorry for bringing the boys around to your continent and forcing you to talk to all of us about it :(

damn cant believe we brought in some source material to discuss a film we enjoyed

LOL@all this

like i mean i <3 katy cause she's just like a post-cyndi lauper oddball who is cuet and fun; and i <3 lady gagz because her shit is like good electro and matthew barney and ish

but kesha @ #1 is like the triumph of l.a. myspace-whore "scene" idiots like mickey avalon and cisco adler. just the worthless party-all-the-time internet-and-coke trash of L.A. and i hope that state gets washed into the pacific. peace out

I saw (LOTR: Return of the King) in a giant Lincoln Center hall w/ fanboys applauding every scene, followed by cast Q&A. I was homicidal.
