dear miserable movie snob:



Graphic Novel | Definition of Graphic novel by Merriam-Webster


a fictional story that is presented in comic-strip format and published as a book

I am glad it makes you enthusiastic. For me personally it was the worst movie of 2015, with the martian as a close 2nd. These were the 2 movies i have seen that just really did not entertain me at all.

George Miller is one of a few living master filmmakers. It's about time he got some credit for something.

Innaritu will have that status, if he doesn't already.

right on!

i'm enthusiastic to stir the shit up around here. :winkwink::1orglaugh

but yeah, speaking of shit, the martian was not an entertaining movie for me either.

So a book with pictures?

Thanks for the invite :thumbsup When will we be going?

:1orglaugh

you're offended by graphic novels.

that's why you're a movie snob! :1orglaugh

Horrible fucking movie..

Do you understand movies were invented as a visual medium, with no dialogue. Just because a bunch of people are flapping their gums for two hours doesn't mean make something a bad movie. Anyway, these are concepts you wouldn't be able to grasp, as simple as they are.

Most movies that are totally reliant on special effects suck. The exceptions are LOTR, Harry Potter and those like Gravity. Even Stars Wars has lost something.

Compare any of the nominees with Lawrence of Arabia, Gandhi,
The Godfather, Gone with the Wind, Schindler's List, etc. They don't come close. IMDb: Top 100 Greatest Movies of All Time (The Ultimate List) - a list by ChrisWalczyk55

yeah fiddy

Tesla's and Volts and Faradays in the desert? lol - and how long do you think that would last? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh


Would have been a pretty fucking short movie

Ultimately, Mad Max was rewarded with all of these nominations because its being recognized as the reason people want to go to the theater. To see a cinematic spectacle with great locations filmed beautifully, and a lean, straightforward story without a constant stream of yapping. The same could be sadi for the Revenant.

I assume you meant to say it doesn't make it a "good" movie right?

Anyway, why do you think I think a movie is good when there is a lot of talking? What, if anything, does that have to do with this movie sucking?

My opinion is if you HAVE to see a movie in 3D to enjoy it, then by definition it is NOT a good movie.

your post would make sense if there were, you know, actually any sense to it.

MM:FR doesn't rely on special effects, the stunts and shit are real.

besides the fact that the list you linked has LOTR as the #1 movie of all time

Exactly, the fast-food era of big screen movies. The reason why so much shit is made today. Use your brain as little as possible, movies are for entertainment, not for getting anything out of it, not for a message or an intellectual experience.

Again with the word "yapping" ... I get the feeling you don't like any kind of movie with serious dialogue or character development. A lot of talking does not equal good, but also does not equal boring. Personally, I prefer to watch movies where it feels like what I'm watching is as close to real-life a entertainingly possible. But that's me.

:1orglaugh

common sense right.

jfaclon is the sort that is gushing over dicaprio's hugh glass character with his unintelligble dialogue and minimal acting in a chase movie with a similar plot to MM:FR while bashing MM:FR for being a chase movie not having dialogue or plot.

Nope, didn't even watch that one yet. Honestly I doubt I will like it. The absence of dialogue is not what I disliked about new Mad Max. By the way, while I'm not the hugest fan of the Mad Max films, I did really like the first two and have watched them 2 or 3 times each.

it's basically the same flick set in the winter in the mountains.

the first MM was somewhat mediocre. the character development and such was too much, it overshadowed the movie, a distraction from the plot.

:1orglaugh ... Unlike you, I'm broke outside GFY.

:2 cents:

yes, all "good" movies must have a message.

thanks movie snobs!

Damn man, you ever heard of straw man?

i'm sure straw man is the latest "intellectual" movie with a message.

you're the one that thinks a good movie must have a message and is not for entertainment purposes and the viewing audience needs to get something out of it other than entertainment.



"Exactly, the fast-food era of big screen movies. The reason why so much shit is made today. Use your brain as little as possible, movies are for entertainment, not for getting anything out of it, not for a message or an intellectual experience."

Look up straw man fallacy, you continue to do it.

I never said any of that. Not the way you put it anyway.

i quoted you exactly.

jfalcon, you have to admit, you're brushing off a movie that garnered 10 Oscar noms, most of which are for production, as a fast-food shit.

get real.

No, you didn't. Again, read straw man.

Wrong again douche:



While the makers of Fury Road claim to not have used much CG, they still used a lot of it. They use CG to remove wires and rigs, to add to or change the landscape, and of course color-corect the hell out of it. Even the night time seems were shot in full daylight (overexposed too) and then color-corrected to look like it was night time.

Stop being a douche.

Dumbfuckwad canaduhian, you're a dumbfuckwad canaduhian to not be able to even figure out what a simpleton like Markham was claiming.

And a boring movie too, LOL! I wasn't serious, I was trolling Dynamo.



Mmm, kinda maybe for some, but personally I love going to the movies. While I see lots of action flicks, they can be boring if the story is no fun or if the characters are dull.

Some "yappy" movies worth seeing on the big screen were movies like "Gone Girl" and "The Social Network". "Eyes Wide Shut" is another non-action flick that is missed entirely unless watched on the big screen.


I agree. Movie makers need to give up on 3D. Most of the time its dark and blurry and distracts from the movie itself. There's nothing wrong at all with 2D movies and if I had my choice between IMAX 3D and IMAX 2D I will always choose 2D but here in Montreal at least, almost every IMAX movie is in 3D now.

You're now claiming I didn't quote you exactly. No wonder you're not capable of grasping the movie going experience.

LOL!! When shown evidence that your belief in anything is wrong or even a little off, you fall into a tirade of stupid insults.

Face it douche - Mad Max is loaded with CG. You were lied to, and you gobbled the lie up and patted your tummy afterwards.

PS Hillary will win.

As if you never brush off facts don't fit your own pre-conceived false notions. Shut up douche.

Dumbfuckwad canaduhian, you're the one trolling me and calling me a douche, so you're a hypocrite dumbfuckwad canaduhian.

Got it. Now run along and go ask your mommy to put the transformers DVD on for you.

Holy shit! That whole canyon was CG?

Fury road was a fantastic movie! Good for George Miller. I've only seen The Martian out of the other films nominated so I don't know what chance it stands. The Martian was good but not Oscar material.

Yes but don't tell Dynamo. He will be severely butthurt.
