Quote from: zombie no.one on July 16, 2026, 07:34:41 AMI think ol' Trevor's repeated not-so-subliminal messages over the years might be solely responible for me having never seen DISTRICT 9

Maybe that was Trevor's initial mission? I'm kidding of course, but the constant seeding of District 9 hate over the years almost feels like propaganda.

No offense Trevor  :bouncegiggle:

Triumph of the Will(1935) - Always seems to touch a few nerves before rational discussion can be had.....
Nosferatu the Vampyre(1979) - I always found it way too contemporary to the 1970s, but art film lovers tend to disagree with me.....

If you want to upset LOTR fans, ask what the problem with Sauron getting the ring back is. It isn't like he could have put it on.  :bouncegiggle:

Almost every comment I've ever made about the LOTR films has upset LOTR fans - even the positive ones! (I think TWO TOWERS is head-and-shoulders the best film of the three, even notwithstanding the prolonged final scene... whoops, there he goes again!)

Do people get upset about BURN AFTER READING hot takes? It's pretty Mid for the Coens, no...?

Quote from: claws on Today at 01:07:15 AMPersonally, I think District 9 isn't a lecture. It's a metaphor, and deliberately uncomfortable. It's not about guilt, it's about the absurdity and cruelty of segregation systems. But that's only my opinion.


Whew. After that description I think I basically sold myself that Babe is a bad movie. But really it isn't. It has charm and panache and perhaps some people disagree with me on what I am saying. I don't see what is so great about it. I mean enlighten me.
And since so many people talk about it. But suspiciously those same people (or clicks if you will) never talk about Animal Farm or Babe Ruth (who is the real Babe.) I think that the mentality of a lot of people, especially people from Australia — should be court martialed. Then who knows. We might have the freedom to actually have some real discussions. About good movies. Bad Movies. Yeah sure.

I think the Bob Hoskin Super Mario Bros movie and the Raul Julia Street Fighter were legitimately good and entertaining movies.

And I think the Nolan Batman movies were bad and Heath Ledger made a horrible Joker.   


and I don't care who know it!

I personally think it's one of their best, but I'm aware most people don't. which is fine...  can't see why anyone would get upset or offended by any opinions on it really? it's not exactly a controversial movie.

La Bamba(1987) & The Creep Behind the Camera(2014) tend to trigger certain people..... I'm not sure why...
