  1. You are wrong. Everyone`s complaining about the directon. Even people who liked the movie were annoyed by claustrophobic close-ups. That won`t encourage repeat business. So the movie could have made more with a better creative choice.
  2. He was great here. I always give credit where credit is due. It` s just that some people are trying to make me give credit where it isn`t due such as Shitto. Worst actress ever. That won`t change. Nope.
  3. I like the version where only DU jumps 10% and everything else 5%.
  4. Of course, because Inception was the movie of 2010. Eveyrone talked about that one. Nope. TSN has already vanished from my memory, haven`t seen TFC, and BB was one of the most boring movies ever and totally pointless. BB`s reverse aging was a gimmick without any significance.
  5. I don`t care for TSN and Fincher who made only one movie that I liked enough to own (Se7en) so my annoyance with LM close-ups is purely annoyance with close-ups.
  6. How much money do you think LM will lose thanks to close-ups? I`ve no doubt they are the reason for flopping worse than The Floppit.
  7. Most likely but that DU is holding so well is pretty astonishing itself. The movie`s rewatchable hands down.
  8. Shit, another fiscal cliff? Pop goes Canada too. We follow US like a Siamese twin.
  9. Ouch, SLJ slams his co-stars: http://www.deadline....age-2/#comments What an ass. How about, my co-stars were brilliant too so I guess they couldn`t nominate everyone from the same movie? He is right about HFPA but his co-stars didn`t deserve to be put in the "red carpet magnet, no quality work" catgeory like Depp in The Tourist. STFU Mr Paycheck on Planes (as someone put it in the comments section).
  10. That doesn`t change the fact that the character isn`t compelling and smart. I get that the whole point was that she was pure inside and that her sacrifice pays off in that Cosette gets to live a happy and proesperous life but, IMO, it`s something that isn`t relatable nowdays. Like Ana Karenina. Nobody`s reading that book anymore because it isn`t relatable to our times. The characters aren`t.
  11. Fantine is stupid because she went into prostituion instead of going back to the factory and pretty much offering to sleep with the boss to get her job back. In the end of the day, that was a better long term option. And by boss I mean Valjean. If you are ready to sell sex for money than try to get the job back first. But stupid bitch...eh, just stupid. I get that the point was that her innocence sent her downspiraling but she came off as only stupid.
  12. Hell yeah, yes! You won`t have migraine and eye pain because clarity is so easy on eyes. CGI creatures really pop out as if they were real. Outdoors looks like it`s right there.
  13. He had to kill the evil monster knowing that would put himself, Django and Hildi in danger? I`m sorry but I don`t buy that nor I buy QT`s explanation that he had to kill Candie because he couldn`t stand to be bested. Schultz was never driven by pride in such amount that it would prompt him to do something stupid. Also, he was flashing back to dogs tearing the man but that doesn`t mean he couldn`t play the part, shake hands, leave, lie low and then serve a cold revenge. That would be in character but I guess that a) would make the movie 4 hours long and Django would be still a co-lead as opposed to finally coming on his own. So it was a plot device that had to clear path for Django`s rise as the sole hero and it felt like a plot device as opposed to something that happened organically.
  14. Not SAG. Some critic organizations do. NBR gave MM a cumulative award for Magic Mike/Killer Joe.I must be the only one who didn`t feel Fantine`s presence throuout the movie nor found her part better than the rest. She`s a stupid ass character so I really couldn`t relate to her. For me, the movie really took off in the second half from In My Life/Heart Full of Love onwards.
  15. Having seen TH in HFR I hope Cameron won`t be deterred by mixed-to-negative reception because HFR is perfect for Avatar. CGI creatures really pop out in a way they never before, and the depth of scenes is incredible. And since Avatar doesn`t have to worry about prosthetics, elaborate costumes and wigs, it won`t look like a stage play,which I didn`t mind in TH - it`s different but it isn`t off-putting at least not to me.
  16. I can`t believe people who compare Waltz in DU with Plummer and freakin Maramania. Hello, Schultz is the most likable character you`ll see in movies in years. Plummer and especially emo bitch were nothing compared to that.
