*Official Movie Discussion Thread*

thank you.

 

[monkeystyle]

I'm not quite sure what I did. lol

 

[the dark knight]

you proved my point. you cant REALLY WATCH a movie while doing something else. by really watch i mean be INSIDE the movie.

you're obviously not a movie guy so you cant say im wrong .

 

[monkeystyle]

I love movies. I love movies because I love stories, its why I read.

BUT.

I don't invest myself in the same manner as some others. No, I don't get that rush during exciting parts of movies, or have my heart strings plucked during an emotional scene. I think I'm to disassociated for that.

That however doesn't mean I don't enjoy cinema. Just because I watch it differently doesn't mean I'm any less of a fan.

 

[monkeystyle]

Though tbh I find comedy different. It does make me laugh, but I'm fairly certain that is not an investment of any kind.

 

[the dark knight]

why do we use listen to music instead of hearing music?

im not saying you're not really a fan, you just dont watch movies the way you're supposed to.

 

[monkeystyle]

All of a sudden there are rules for watching films?

I mean aside from sit down, sit back and stfu.

 

[the dark knight]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand pay attention to what you're watching

answer my first question and you might get what im trying to say.

 

[monkeystyle]

I see what you're driving at, but music is purely an aural experience so yes, you have to focus on that. But movies have both aural and visual components allowing for a combination of the two to be used in different concentrations for different people.

It doesn't mean they're watching improperly, just differently.

 

[the dark knight]

ok, movies aside. i still dont believe a human being can do 2 or more separate things simultanesouly with the same efficiency.

 

[monkeystyle]

I can.

I'm way too chaotic to be able to focus on one thing at a time, otherwise I get bored. I need multiple stimuli to work effectively.

 

[the dark knight]

i understand what you're saying but thats a totally different story. i get bored when i do certain things too, and i feel the need to do something else to keep up. like studying. but that doesn't mean that if i somehow focus without getting bored, im not gonna get it done better.

Some movies that I've seen recently:

Punisher: War Zone - not good, but not bad. I liked it enough.
Religulous - Funny as hell. Maher asks a lot of questions I'd ask to people if they wouldn't kill me in response, lol.
The Day The Earth Stood Still - boring, nothing special
Yes Man - a few funny parts, but boring overall.

The Zohan. (Funny ass movie).
Hulk Hogan's walk to ring during his Wrestlemania 21 segment. :shifty:
American Pie the wedding is a funny ass movie seeing it for the second time.
Snakes on a plane. Not so great got a few laughs but shit overall. (Saw it on a plane for the first time though, I also saw the 911 movie on a plane.)
