Match Point has Scarlett Johansson. I literally had to pause it every now and again to mas.. I mean, to admire her beauty. Come on, Match Point wasn't bad... I enjoyed it despite not being up to my usual standard. What other cack films have I watched lately? The only one I can think of that I watched recently was Nowhere Boy, and I thought that was a brilliant British film.

The Illusionist was mediocre, entertaining enough. Like you say though, The Prestige>>>>The Illusionist.

Scarlett Johansson, to me, is overrated .. Her role in "Girl With a Pearl Earring" for example was dreadfully boring! I don't really find her that gorgeous either to tell the truth.

:eek:

SJ is beautiful. :(

Scarlett Johansson is a damn fine woman and certainly a worthy reason to watch a movie.

But...

John Cusack???

:shycouch:

You've not seen High-Fidelity?! Really?

He wasn't half bad in it, I thought he played the part well.

And on reflection Match Point falls under the category of a bit shit, but very entertaining. :laughing:

Unless you're a woman, there's something very wrong with you.

I can agree with that. She's good-looking, sure, but you go out on the town anywhere on a busy Friday or Saturday night and you'll see plenty of women as, if not more good-looking than her. I just don't buy into that whole worshipping celebrities for their looks thing myself.

I think I may need to move to England.

SJ is incredibly hot but I probably wouldn't rank her as high on the tier list as others would.

Also, when watching Ghost World, was I the only person who found Thora Birch more attractive? O_o

I don't think it's mediocre either.

Really, I don't get why the story bothers people so much, yeah it's basically just Dances with Wolves in space.

But that's actually one of my favorite movies, so I don't get the big deal. The story isn't really bad, it's just not terribly original, but nothing really is, the Dances With Wolves/Pocahontas thing is just hard for people to get over. I'll give you the lack of character development, but was anybody really expecting a character driven movie? Really?

It's a visual driven movie, I want to know why these kinds of movies are so damn bad. And why Burton, Scott, Lynch, Tarantino and so on got so much flack for making "style over substance" films.

The movies are a visual medium, that was what they were intended to be the day they were invented, if all you want is a story you can read a book.
