what I like

We have similar tastes. You must be a really, cool chick. You are a woman right? I mean, not sure with that av could be false advertising.

DT, yes, I am a woman.

I happen to think I a really cool chick, too.

Do not rely on any of my avatars, too long, I change them frequently.

 

[DevilishTexan]

Do not rely on any of my avatars, too long, I change them frequently.

As do I. We have a lot in common. I may have to let you take me out sometime.

 

[Batch]

Oh, take you out and put you through your paces, eh?

 

[DevilishTexan]

Oh, take you out and put you through your paces, eh?

You take me out I might put you through your paces.

Long as you smell good and say all the right things.

 

[Batch]

You take me out I might put you through your paces.

*chuckles*
You may want to get in shape first, I have been know to ride 'em hard, enough for them to drop... and bring lots of water, you will need it.

*sniffs* I nice good, nice and clean. If, I feel so inclined, I can charm any snake into my hands... I am good

like that.

Well, indeed. I just took a stab in the dark, Dear.

those are my faves. SW and most Hitchcock films are insanely overrated.
Also, they sure as hell dont make horror like they did in the 70's/80's.

 

[leZilla]

Some of the movies on that list are horrible.

I didn't see Goodfellas on that list. Please tell me I just missed it, because that is a travesty if Goodfellas is not on that list.

 

[leZilla]

Nevermind, it's right up there near the top I just missed it. PHEW!

 

[MechaBlade]

And I really can't trust any list that has Sin City in the top 100 and V for Vendetta in the top 200. Fuckin' fanboys.

Oh, but Children of Men and Spirited Away belong?

Sin City and V for Vendetta should be in anyone's top 100. Top 50 probably.

 

[DevilishTexan]

*smiles sweetly*

Well, indeed. I just took a stab in the dark, Dear.

I'll take a stab in the dark, with the lights on, candlelight. I ain't picky.

 

[Batch]

I'll take a stab in the dark, with the lights on, candlelight. I ain't picky.

Just be careful with that thing, you could put someone's eye out with it.

 

[DevilishTexan]

It is. In fact, it's been highlighted. Or bolded. Several times.


Optometrist.

 

[DevilishTexan]

Just be careful with that thing, you could put someone's eye out with it.

My aims much better.

 

[Batch]

My aims much better.

Perhaps, you are just out of practice?

 

[DevilishTexan]

Perhaps, you are just out of practice?

Nailed it.

 

[Batch]

Nailed it.

Why, was it mis behaving?

 

[HB1965]

Somewhere there is a listing of what filmmakers voted as the top 100. That's the one that I would go by. This list is a popularity contest.

 

[DevilishTexan]

Why, was it mis behaving?

Ha! Yeah, it wouldn't stay put.

 

[DevilishTexan]

Somewhere there is a listing of what filmmakers voted as the top 100. That's the one that I would go by. This list is a popularity contest.

Thats probably just a cut above what the critics think is good. And those always suck. Critics and filmmakers are too technical. Who cares about whether the choreography, score or casting is perfect?

Is it a good script, plot line and does the CGI look real. Thats what most people care about.

And does it have a happy ending. We have enough bad endings in real life.
Ok, so I kind of get aggravated when the protagonist miraculously dodges bullets. But then I'll watch an indy channel and feel better.

 

[HB1965]

Is it a good script, plot line and does the CGI look real. Thats what most people care about.

Yes this is true, but who knows whether a film is good better than the people that make them. There are a few on not on that list that I would put their like La Dolce Vita.

 

[Batch]

Yes this is true, but who knows whether a film is good better than the people that make them. There are a few on not on that list that I would put their like La Dolce Vita.

yes, that one!

It wasnt there, god that was a good movie.
