What movies are you watching?

[The Argonaut]

I've decided it is perhaps best not to take my 13yo nephew to see Maverick. What if he decides that he wants to join the Navy when he gets older?

[BurtReynolds]

Then he can be like Tom Cruise.

He could do a lot worse than being a navy pilot

[Anders]

Last day of my vacation (though I do have the weekend off as well). Started the day by waking up two hours before my family and watching 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.

[Anders]

There Will Be Blood

[Malloy]

if i was using anders' format, i'd end my viewing of 2007 movies with the run of: hot fuzz; no country; there will be blood; eastern promises; assassination of jesse james; michael clayton; zodiac.

d*des f*cking r*ck

[Malloy]

what year since 2007 has had the strongest and greatest number of theatrical releases?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

[Malloy]

there are tons of great movies released each year, but i can't think of a banner year similar to '07

[Anders]

Remaining 2007 movies are:
The Bridge To Terabithia, P.S. I Love You, Zodiac, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Michael Clayton, The Brave One, I Am Legend, Hot Fuzz, Gone Baby Gone, Control and Eastern Promises.

[Anders]

If we look solely on the 2000-2009 decade according to my personal ratings, both 07 and 08 are better than average with about 15 movies each scoring at least four stars (out of about 120 four stars movies for the entire decade).

Won’t go through entire lists of movies, but 08 has Gran Torino, The Wrestler, Departures, Max Manus, Slumdog Millionaire, Ip Man, Wall-E, Pineapple Express, The Dark Knight, Let The Right One In, In Bruges.

[Mickey]

The Wrestler is so fucking good. Maybe the best movie of that decade.

[Mickey]

I watched it five times in a single week in college.

Yeah it's pretty great. Probably my favorite movie by that weirdo director.

[epilogue]

Yeah it's pretty great. Probably my favorite movie by that weirdo director.

That's tough. I love Aronofsky... maybe I'd go:

The Fountain
Black Swan
The Wrestler
Mother!
Requiem for a Dream
Pi

But I love all of those movies. I don't know. It probably depends on which one I've seen most recently, if I'm being honest.

[Mickey]

I hated The Fountain, but that's an opinion that's almost 13 years old now.

[epilogue]

I hated The Fountain

I figured.

[Anders]

The Bridge To Terabithia was not great, but not too bad either. Did sort of enjoy it. Surprised it went the way it did. Deeper than expected.
