Silence.

Long, ambitious, as well made as you'd expect from Scorsese, and well acted, especially Andrew Garfield's performance. Will watch again.

Scorcese usually does period pieces about as well as anyone. I'll certainly seek it out, because I like Garfield.

Wait a minute, isn't the rule of MB that just because something is popular doesn't automatically mean it's good. Also, it only ranks 66th for 2007 US grosses.

Over on Rotten Tomatoes it's got a 91% rating from critics and a 86% rating from fans. On IMDB it's got an 81% rating. So I'm not alone.

No Country for Old Men, also from 2007, justifyably beat it out for both Best Picture and Best Director at the Oscars. TWBB also lost both of those awards at The Golden Globes. No doubt it's an epic tale. I just don't think it's a great movie.

You won't get any argument from me on No Country its fantastic. The thing to remember about TWBB is that is was shown in half the theaters that No Country and big budget movies were shown in. I was highlighting the fact it was in limited theaters and still had a wide audience base. The MB rules for sellouts always applies. :drummer:

Metallica: Some Kind of Monster

First time I saw it 10 years ago it came across as kinda pathetic and whiny. Much better on the second viewing.

They came across as guys that need extended therapy. Bunch of whiney bitches. Kirk Hammett comes across really meek, and Hetfield and Ulrich come across like two year old girls. I thought James voice was better before he decided to take voice lessons also, quite puzzling.

Get Out is a must see.

I had to rush and catch a matinee of it because I felt like too many people were casually talking about it on Facebook and I didn't want to get spoiled.

The social commentary isn't beating you over the head the entire movie but it's definitely there. Great psychological thriller.

Truth. Napster should've been a good enough foreshadowing for that though.

ABSO****INGLUTELY

I've been disagreeing with my dad about that for years and it's good to see some validation.

Yeah not sure why I forgot to mention Get Out as well, saw it on the weekend and really enjoyed it. I went into that movie expecting it to be ruined by ham fisted social commentary, that's the vibe I got from the trailer, and that vibe stuck with me until a certain point in the movie where I realized that I fell right into the director's trap and something much more clever than I had anticipated was going down.

Get Out is not what it looks like, it's a pleasant surprise.
