Why do you think I saved my 2010's pick for last? My pick ain't going anywhere.

He’s got some good ones. Ocean’s Eleven, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, but also som real duds. Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen, Magic Mike, The Informant!, Solaris, The Good German. Think Out Of Sight is somewhere in the middle with Sex, Lies and Videotape, Logan Lucky and Contagion. Not seen Side Effects or The Laundromat.epilogue wrote:Then I think you'll really dig Out of Sight.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: Movies, Actors & Directors Tournament: Ello Sailor's Pic
I was a bit surprised. I’ve seen more movies than most people, and I’ve never seen it, nor had I thought about it. Put it on my watchlist earlier today.tragabigzanda wrote:I’m currently feeling a little resentment that no one’s celebrated my pick of Endless Summer
Accorrding to imdb, I’ve seen 318 movies from the 1960s.

I prefer bracket style tournaments, where the art is in focus, instead of the competition between posters. I do love movies.Ello Sailor wrote:Holy shit. Why didn't you draft a team, dude?Anders wrote:Accorrding to imdb, I’ve seen 318 movies from the 1960s.
