Is someone who uses pretentious incorrectly being pretentious?

Is anyone who calls someone a hipster actually a self-resenting hipster?

Best films of 2011:

Sucker Punch 10/10
Breaking Dawn Part I 10/10
The First Avenger 10/10
Thor 10/10

Everything else: Pretentious crap

Nope, just lazy or/and dumb.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I don't want to see Fassneto's giant chick magnet.

It's not that big. And it's not like he's that good looking. Or that well-built... Seriously though, the movie is great. Depressing, but great. Fassbender really shines in it. Hell, the guy is great in everything, really. It's strange that in 9 years he went from 300 to Magneto and an Oscar Nomination for Jobs. And honestly, he should've won. Trumbo and The Martian were fairly average, and The Danish Girl was a mixed bag for me. DiCaprio won because of what he went through, but Fass' Jobs was the better perfomance. IMO anyway... The Revenant deserved the Director & Cinematography wins, but not the Leading Actor one.

PS: Interesting thing about Shame, is that, there's a sex scene in a hotel room with huge windows. While they were filming that, people had gathered down at the street and were looking at them go at it.

My sentiments exactly.

2011 was a fun year for online film discussion. The Tree of Life, Melancholia, Shame, Drive, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Martha Marcy May Marlene, We Need To Talk About Kevin....

All of them labeled "boring and pretentious" by the people who were giving Cap: TFA & Branagh's THOR a 10/10.

Forget even TWS/CW or TDK, I would take Batman & Robin over those movies.

I'm not calling you dumb m9, you're not dumb, you're corky and special.

From the nominees, I definitely thought he should have won, but Edris Elba gave the best performance of the year in my opinion. I thought it was criminal that he wasn't nominated.

I think Fassbender's best performance was in 12 Years A Slave, another year I felt he was robbed of an Oscar.

But then how will you impress people on the internet?

Oh yeah, Idris was great in Beasts of No Nation as well. He captured the warlord role perfectly. He was sly, charming and knew what to say to make people follow him. The fact that he raped the kid (who was also brilliant in the flick) made him all the more horrifying. He should've gotten a Supporting Actor nomination. Mark Rylance winning was a huge WTF moment for me. Bridge of Spies in general I found very overrated.

As for Fassbender, yeah, he should've won last year. Steve Jobs is one of the few movies that I can easily rewatch, the other notable one being The Social Network. He was leagues above all the other nominees last year. But yeah, he should've gotten a nomination for 12YAS as well. His performance in Shame also deserved more recognition.

Of all the films that have ever been released Steve Jobs and The Social Network are the two you find most rewatchable?

But I agree that Fass should have won the Oscar.

Well, I think it'd be more apt to say they are two of the films I mostly enjoy watching. I'm not one for multiple viewings. TWS I've seen 3 times. CW once. BvS 3. 12 Years a Slave 4. I love certain films a whole lot, but I think once is enough. The Place Beyond The Pines was great, but I can't say I'm aching to see it more than once. Same goes for Enemy, Habemus Papam or Brooklyn. But films like SJ, TSN, The Theory of Everything and a couple of others I find strangely appealing, no matter how many times I watch them. It comes down to preference, really. For example, I couldn't even finish Fight Club, while I consider Se7en one of my faves.

But I agree that Fass should have won the Oscar.

Exactly. I just hope he gets another chance some day. Chatter is starting to build about Garfield for Hacksaw Ridge. He's another guy who was robbed out of a Nomination for TSN. He put his all in the role of Saverin. After losing Spider-Man, I think the poor guy deserves at least a Nom.

Yeiah! See if Jye can post more of his articles NOW lmao! :victory:

You're not the only one with such a mentality but it truly is one of the great unfathomable mysteries to me. I get the notion of overdoing the repeat viewings thing and getting sick of a movie a bunch of times in short succession but the whole "I saw it, loved it, but have no desire to ever watch it again" for the majority of films is just something I can't wrap my head around. To me it's no different than refusing to listen to a great song more than once, look at an incredible painting more than once, go on a roller-coaster (if you're into those) more than once, etc.

Films are art. Films are experiences. Films are time capsules. The great ones tend to excel at all three and none of those aspects are "one and dones." I know there are some films that rely solely on some big twist like "The Village" and that once you see it you never need to watch it again but those are very few and far between, IMO.

 

[GasparZizou]

Most people think they know the movie because they know what happens in it, and have no time or desire to see it again. I get that.

I don't, and I never will.

 

[GasparZizou]

I don't, and I never will. With a novel? Sure, since it takes days or weeks to finish one and those tend to have such diminishing returns for the time you'd have to invest to revisit. But 120 minutes? People have 120 minutes of "down time" to waste on countless activities, even with a job and a family, and I just don't get why anyone who loves movies would deny themselves so many great works of art and visceral experiences just because they saw it once.

Really? It's the same thing with a novel, with the same returns if you have the imagination, in movies what you sabor are the performances and the cinematography, etc etc, in novels is almost the same, except that instead of cinematography, I don't know, you sabor the style.

Sure it always helps if it has a nice pay-off.

But lots of people don't care about fiction, because they're more interested in the real world, now that's what I don't get

I don't think anyone who actually loves movies, like anyone here, actually watches stuff only once, we're all wired to get hooked by stuff even if we know what happens, I bet even darthkosis is more often than he thinks, I was just referring to normal non-geek people.

I "know what will happen" when I eat my favorite dessert, have sex, or look at a sunset. Doesn't mean I'll forsake them forever because of it.

You don't have to explain me I'm just saying how I think they think.

Hey wanna watch.... No thanks I already saw it.
