"they (hollywood) think thats what people want, they must think we are stupid or something"
exactly, they do, which is a 'big' problem with their movies recently, they dumb down the best of stories to get the biggest audience. Then again aren't the majority of people stupid anyway? Isn't that why films like Titanic, American Pie and music like Britney and Westlife are popular?
I've heard Collateral, promising at first has a predictable plot and hollywood ending. Shame, but doesn't surprise me. Nor does your comments about irobot, the trailer is full of stupid lines.
As for Batman and Robin being more entertaining than Amelie... well maybe when you reach 20 and watch both again you might think differently.

of course not
just makes me think that many people will like whatever they are given
cos everybody like a good hitchcok movie... everybody
so if holywood did good movies people would like those good movies, but as holiwood sees people will like anything they make they just do average movies (not like in the 40s and 50s when a great % of what was done in holiwood was really top quality)
I think people will just like whatever you throw at them, cos notrmally people dont have the time or will to look for themeselves what they want... they just dont give importance to it
I am just like all those people but not with music... but probably I am like that with other aspects of life

i went with about 4 people to see 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'... I think i was the only one that really liked it, all the girls that went with me hated it.

i think the majority of people are so used to dumb stories and fast action thats all they seem to accept these days. People even walked out half way through 'Lost in Translation' because of the slow pacing.
Thats generalising a lot, but thats how I see the majority of cinema goers. When the trailer was on for Big Fish people at the back of the cinema were sarcastically shouting 'that looks good'.

Actually no, I'm no fan of Hitchcock. So far I've found most of his films very boring. Suspense taken to the point where I completely lose interest.

It may be what they accept, but they enjoy it as well. It doesn't explain someone like me though, I like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, but I also like Autechre and Zoviet France. My favourite movies include Notting Hill and Armageddon, but they also include Hana-Bi and Three Colours: Red. People just aren't that black and white.

Requiem for a dream
I finally got to see it last night. I thought the story was a bit too forced near the end as if the writer desperately needed to make things even worse than it already was. Also, even though they acted great, some of the characters looked a bit too polished for their role. On the other hand the movie has great music and lots of spectacular visual effects to more than make up for it.

The Village... I downloaded it because I've heard so many AWFUL things about it. I like to watch bad movies. But I liked it... I knew the ''twist'' going in, so maybe I was focusing on all the wrong things, in order to truly hate it.
Dumb movie, but I enjoyed it. I like Shyamamalalanan's directing style, it should be unintentionally funny sometimes, but I don't laugh.

I, Robot - 4/5
I saw it last Sunday evening. There were some inconsistencies, such as robots initially being indestructable but then getting wasted by Spooner's bullets. The audience burst in laughter at some of Smith's one-liners, but I only found them mildly amusing.
On the bright side, it potrayed a believable model of the human race's potential, and presented plenty of delicious eye candy to accompany it.

Alien - Directors Cut 9/10
It makes me depressed seeing how great sci-fi films can be and looking at all the shitty special effects films we get these days. I hope they don't ruin Rendevous with Ramma, if it ever gets made.

this puts me at ease a bit:
Morgan Freeman has revealed that he is still actively looking to develop Rendezvous With Rama as a movie."The bugaboo there is the script. A picture like this, that is written by Arthur C. Clarke, the problem is trying to get someone to understand what it is. These things, they always want to make it into an action film, so you've got to cowboy it up a little bit. You can't
do it with this. And we've been having trouble getting someone to see the science aspect of this, the exploratory aspects of it, rather than the blood and guts and stuff. It's not in limbo. We're pushing hard at it constantly"

Very bizarre dialogue in this Soderberg film, yet hilarious.

Elephant- gus van sant.
this is lush and spacious and seems to impart no agenda to an horrific event. Aesthetically it is amazing. Beautifully shot and with long trailing scenes, so much real time in this movie it is agonizing, deliscious and jolting.

I liked it a lot at the cinema, the Lotr films seem to lose a lot of impact on the small screen. I watched it on dvd the other day and I noticed how much I can't the acting by Elijah Wood (frodo) and the guy who plays Samwise. Still, i think its the best out of the 3 films. I really liked Miranda Otto (Eowny), definately an actress to look out for in the future.
