Quoted from James McClung


Don't know about anyone else's avatar being creepy (except for dogglebe and his cuddly cyclops kitty *shudders*).



My current avatar is up there on the "creepy scale"

Stupid glasses glare.  Makes me look like one of the kids from Village of the Damned.

Quoted from bert


I like how you pick and choose, as opposed to going with the whole series.  I agree with all three selections that you have plucked from the larger wholes.


Yeah, I very much enjoy all of the Indiana Jones movies as well as the original "Star Wars" trilogy; "Last Crusade" and "Empire" just happen to be my favorites.  As for "Wrath of Kahn," I'm with George: it's the only really good "Star Trek" film to date (though I don't even really like "Star Trek" all that much; I'm just a sucker for a solid revenge flick).


Quoted from James McClung


I completely forgot about this movie! I owned it years ago and watched it so much that the DVD was scratched to the point that it was unwatchable. Had I remembered this, it would've certainly made my top five. It's such an original film and works on so many levels. The performances are great (especially Robert Carlyle), the story's great, there're some cool gore scenes, some funny scenes, some funny/gore scenes, and some weird philosophical stuff (when Robert Carlyle's talking about Manifest Destiny). I really feel bad about forgetting it but then again, I haven't seen it in years.


What is very interesting about "Ravenous" is not only has it managed to create itself a nice little cult following, but it's that same cult following that has spawned many ideas and interpertations of the movie.  For example, many fans of "Ravenous" claim that Carlyle's character is, in fact, Satan.  I don't know how exactly how that is, but many say there are quite a few similarities between Calhoun (Carlyle's character) and The Devil as he is presented in the bible.  I just thought that was pretty interesting.

I was dirty on it for getting the Best Picture Oscar over Pulp Fiction. However, it was a good film, but that doesn't mean people have to place it in their top 10. I had to leave a lot of great films out of my mine.

This is where it becomes subjective. I actually related more to Butch, Jules and Vincent Vega, than I did Forrest Gump. Pulp Fiction was a better film for mine. But as I say, it's purely subjective. Movies are not race horses, there is no absolute way of proving which one is the best.

I didn't mean to relate to the characters.  I meant that the story was just a beautiful work on life and its trials.  I box for a living as of now and I still don't relate to butch either way.  And jules and vincent, forget it.  im from los angeles, but it aint really like that.

FAVORITE FILMS:

1) Lord of the Rings Trilogy - The greatest films of all time in my book. Nothing will ever catch up to this at all. It just goes to show that Peter Jackson is better than any other director alive.

2) Star Wars (Original trilogy) - These are awesome films who now have to link to the shame of the new trilogy that George Lucas punished us with.

3) Chronicles of Narnia - I've been waiting for this for a long time...it was awesome! I might be going to work as an intern on Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian this fall, I've been talking with the asst. director about it for a few weeks.

4) King Kong - No matter what people say, this movie was great. It had great acting, great effects, good story, etc. Who ever say's this film was a rip off of the original is just trying to sound cool, because nothing about this film rips anything off of the original.

5) Serenity - Way better than the new Star Wars movies...the acting in it was superb.

6) Passion of the Christ - An awesome movie.

7) Red Eye - My brother hates movies...and he liked this one. I thought it was great, too.

8 ) The Incredibles - By far the best Pixar film ever made!

9) Monty Python and the Holy Grail - This movie was hilarious!

10) Toy Story - When this first came out my mom had to take me to see it five times. It has remained on my list since it came out.
