On that note, I saw The Thing prequel the other day. Pretty weak, but Winstead is still cute. And I can't describe it, since he is only in awful things, but I find myself rooting for Eric Christian Olsen.

I saw him in a preview for Celeste and Jesse Forever and it made me happy. Fun cast for that one - Samberg, Rashida Jones, Elijah Wood, ECO, Emma Roberts, Chris Messina. Not sure if it will amount to anything good, but it's a charming cast.
I agree, x100. I won't lie and say that I won't watch it, but I'd prefer they wouldn't remake it.

I'm in the same boat with you wogtolia, I enjoy a lot more movies then most. That just makes it even better when a movie is really amazing.

I'll get this out of the way now: There Will Be Blood is a great film from what I remember, but it probably isn't perfect. No film is. Especially when film making is essentially an art, with a lot of aspects left up to personal interpretation/a matter of taste, etc. which is why no film is perfect.

Yeah, I've gone through the "movie snob" phase where I only watched "good" movies. I've found that a lot of bad movies are actually fun. Take John Carter for example, that was just a good fun movie to watch, it's not revolutionary, it's not fleshed out, it probably could have used another hour to make it a better movie but that didn't stop it being a good waste of time.

There Will Be Blood is actually a great counter example, it is a great movie, well acted, well produced and all that, but it wasn't actually very fun to watch, in fact it was almost painful to watch. It's not a movie I'd probably ever bother watching again but I'm very glad I've seen it. Requiem for a Dream is another great example, I will almost certainly never watch that again but god it was an awesome movie.

So whilst I will appreciate a great movie, I wont not enjoy a movie because it isn't great. It's nice when you get both those elements (like Batman Begins or Fight Club) but if I have one I'm fine with it :)

So instead, you're a snob against people who you claim to be movie snobs? Requiem for a Dream is painful to watch for a reason, because it's trying to get underneath your skin and horrify you. It's not supposed to be John ******* Carter.

In what way was I snobbish? People should do what they want, I was just asking if people enjoy the movies that they are critiquing still despite their warts, this thread can generally be very negative so it's nice to hear if people enjoyed a movie, rather than if it had a satisfactory character arc or camera angle as the two are not mutually exclusive.

I said that I've personally found movie watching to be better because I've started watching more "bad" movies, at no point did I say that you had to start watching them.

I agree with wogitalia about TWBB. A very well made movie and DDL has a great performance, but I was bored to death watching it. I haven't seen it since the theaters though.

I thought TWBB was incredibly enjoyable. Beautiful to look at, great performances, brilliant score. It kind of had everything going for it. I thought it was robbed of Best Picture though I did really ******* enjoy No Country. Paul Thomas Anderson is easily the best living director.

I can see why others may find it boring, but I don't find it that way at all. I've seen TWBB multiple times and enjoyed it each viewing.

It is so insanely quotable as well. Not the perfect movie but damn close. I just don't see any real flaws in it. I probably enjoy Boogie Nights more and Magnolia may be the better film, Punch Drunk Love has more heart. All that said it is a masterpiece.

Both great directors. Really great directors. Fincher I just do not think can really make a claim for the best alive and Nolan has directed some brilliant movies but I just don't find as consistently genius as say P.T. Anderson.

You've gotta imagine David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino and The Coen Brothers might have something to say about best living director as well. Actually, FFC is still alive too...He may take the title.

Tarantino would be in the running for more than just best living directors

Coppola has just fallen off so much. He did direct some of my all time favorite movies but considering how awful his films have been lately he is dead to me.

Lynch I adore but I would not say is the best. Most original, sure.

Wes Anderson makes such watchable and enjoyable films. Such a talented guy. I would certainly put him up there among my favorite directors but he isn't the most talented Anderson in my opinion. Clearly that is Paul Anderson (the dude who directed Soldier and Resident evil, not that hack P.T.)

Quentin used to be my favorite by a lot and love his films. Cannot wait for Django. I own Inglorious on Blu ray which was my most hyped movie for years and love it. That said I just like a couple other directors more.

The Coen brothers have made some truly great films but they also have a fair amount of just decent movies. That comes with making much more films than say P.T. or Kubrick did which I really do respect. One film a year pretty much with almost all of the being really amazing films is no small feat. I do think it takes more balls to put everything you have into a movie and spend countless years on it like the already mentioned P.T. and Stanleyor say Terrence Malick. If you spend that much time and don't make a truly great film it tarnished the legacy much more than the Coen brothers making a flop one year and then a few great movies the next three.
