This isn’t a racist statement IN THIS CONTEXT. I think it says more about us that we see the word and assume a racial epithet right away.

1) One of the many movies where Clint rapes a woman then she falls in love with him
2) He makes Aunt Jemima jokes about black women
3) Then sleeps with her
4) Actually he rapes her, see number 1
5) There’s a dog named “faggot”
6) It’s a terrible movie

So I’m guessing you are:

white
raised upper middle class
graduated with a minor in accounting

I cant believe im saying this, but i watched Immortals the other day and Tarsem Singh puts together a visual feast at the end. Zach Snyder couldnt pull it off on his best day. Terrible movie but incredible imagery. Also, The Raid is supposed to have some incredible action set pieces.

Speaking of awesome foegein films, Elite Squad 2 is on Instant. Check that shit out asap. You wont regret it. Its City of God mixed with The Wire.

so, fight scenes…has anyone ever seen a realistic one in a movie? one where the fighters take 12 or 13 full-on punches w/o being knocked out. unchoreographed, messy, like um, real life?

Warrior. Tommy Riordan drops people with one punch.

Best movie starring Keanu Reeves? Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey
Movie you pretend you’ve seen, but haven’t? 2001
Movie you’ve never seen the beginning of? Zombieland
Most pretentious movie you call your favorite (nada already called 7 Samurai)? So much for me to choose from here. Seventh Seal is awesome. I’ve watched Nosferatu, Sunrise, and Faust about 10-20 times apiece. Medium Cool. Do The Right Thing. Anything by Jim Jarmusch. Everything by Luis Bunuel. Man, I am a jerk.

Movie with naked women in it that you tried to get your wife to watch? I turn on porn all the time. Sometimes it works and she watches. Sometimes it works and she leaves the room to talk to her mom. We aren’t married, though, so maybe it’s different. Co-habitating is more or less the same thing, right?
Movie you hate the most that other people say is great (non star wars). The Insider. The heroic stuggle of 60 Minutes top producer getting a segment aired on 60 Minutes just doesn’t resonate very deeply with me.

I see. That sounds rather disappointing.

Visually dark? Like Barry Lyndon?

So, for the three of us still here: is anyone worried that Stephen Spielberg has lost his fastball and that Lincoln could end up being horrible?

Yeah, kind of.

I’ll just say that I’ve met Max Bretos, seemed like a nice guy. I’m friends with his brother, we played rugby together. This suspension is a ridiculous overreaction, and will stain this guy as a racist for the rest of his career.
