COKE IS BETTER THAN PEPSI, LET ME START A THREAD!

Opinions may very on films. News at 11

Lies! Oh and somebody pissed in your popcorn.

Clayton was basically a decent made-for-TV movie with high caliber actors - nothing more.

No Country was a masterpiece.

Yay for happy endings! Yay! Yay!

Michael Clayton actually felt like it was written as a pilot for a tv series - it was focused enough to have a plot but with enough side plots to sustain a few episodes to flesh em out. As it stands, the movie just felt simultaneously too long and too short.

Then I saw Damages and that just confirmed that it would have worked out better as a 13 episode arc or at least a 6 episode mini series.

Hey, I can't deny my own perceptions.

Most of my vitriol directed at No Country for Old Men has dissipated over the months. However, aside from Brolin's performance and the cinematography, I found nothing interesting in the Coens' little slasher flick.

Stardust may have had one of the clunkiest plots of 2007 but it had some nice charming moments.

Enchanted was silly, but smart.

The Bourne Ultimatum works better in the suspense department.

Sunshine, disregarding its last act, came damned close to being visionary (even if that vision was derivative).

The Simpsons Movie had better characterizations.

Southland Tales, despite being a mess (an exciting and interesting mess at that), is a much more honest picture.

Eastern Promises' violence and moral crux proved to be more affecting.

Starting Out in the Evening (being a completely different animal) had stellar performances, fantastic script, and actual human characters.

Once... well... come on.

Rescue Dawn: the Coens have nothing on Herzog for portraits of oddity, determination and desperation.

Helvetica and The Cats of Mirikitani, okay, comparing documentaries may be unfair. But for American films in 2007, they are fine examples.

And Inland Empire... now that is an epic picture...

Meh. I stated my problems with No Country for Old Men early in its review thread. I thought I was done with it, but I just couldn't resist the open invitation here.

Michael Clayton ending didn't have a cheap ending.
Where No Country's ending is all set for a franchise series if enough movie patrons get duped.

Denim is better than courderoy

tater tots are better than french fries

and imports are better than domestics

Both are great films.


Enough said.

mcdonalds fries are better than wendy's fries

snorting yeyo is better than snorting crank...

the best two movies from last year IMO.

And to think there may have been a time I respected your opinion. You, sir, sicken me.

Things better than The Bus:

My car
Walking
The subway
Airplane
Big wheel

I strongly disagree.

Rabies infected meat pies turning small town folk into foaming-at-the-mouth killers....and don't forget those rat killing hippie Satanists who drug and rape the local hotties. A better film has not been made in the past thirty-five years.

tupac is better than biggie

Michael Clayton sucked.

The best films of the year were Juno, There Will Be Blood, and No Country for Old Men.

That's how I felt when I saw The Departed. Like...it could have been a half long, lower quality season of The Wire.

Too true...too true!

Juno sucks

How's that for an opinion, heh?

Diablo Cody will be out of Hollywood in 3 years, giving lapdances again, known as a one hit wonder. But she really wasn't...... because.... Wait, wait.....

Juno Sucks!


And Tony Gilroy is here to stay.

That doesn't make any sense, Juno sucking wouldn't make it any less of a hit. It was critically hailed, academy award nominated and made 27.5x it's budget in theaters alone (worldwide). It's a hit, like it -- or as you obviously do not -- or not.

Tony Gilroy is of course here to stay, he wrote The Cutting Edge after all, and they're still milking that one 16 years later.

Maybe they'll have Chigurth vs. The Dude!

Franchise, are you serious?

Chigurth X

eXistenZ is better than The Matrix

Franchise? With what? Chigurth going around killing people that lose his coin toss? Or Tommy Lee Jones trying to figure out mysteries while complaining about how old he is?

Interesting premise.
Psycho killer for the Nation of Islam.
