Are the sequels better than the original? in Movies ·
We aren't Angels 2,
American Pie 2 is actually pretty decent—maybe not quite hitting the heights of the first one, though.
Art House and Indie Films in Movies ·
Aliens is out in theaters right now

Who was the better president? in Close to Politics ·
Vlatko Pavletić was easily the best president we've ever had.
Taylor Cook63 said:Look, you can believe whatever helps you sleep at night, but if we're being real, our people have mostly been out there causing trouble, acting purely out of self-interest.

True, but they left a lot behind too... plus, decolonization hasn't exactly been a magic fix for anything.
The Insider, Memories of Murder and Lost In Translation —I don't know, man... they just don't really scream Tarantino to me.
It’s not even about being xenophobic—it’s just about all this foreign labor being imported...
South Ossetia, Russia, and Nicaragua in World ·
Richard Wilson4 said:That's Nazism I'm talking about. I'm talking about fascism—specifically the Spanish and Italian versions I used as examples...

They weren't, for instance, locking Jews up in camps...

Nazism is basically just fascism and socialism mashed together.
South Ossetia, Russia, and Nicaragua in World ·
I can't recall all the specifics, but I'm pretty sure they swapped out—or maybe just offloaded at a massive discount—some missiles in exchange.
Borat, Brüno, or Ali G: Who's the best? in Movies ·
For me, nothing beats those interviews Sacha Baron Cohen did while playing Borat.
Borat, Brüno, or Ali G: Who's the best? in Movies ·
James Chavez23 said:I mean, Ali G is such a legend—definitely top tier—but yeah, the movie itself was kind of a mess 🙂

Honestly, that flick feels like it was mostly made for a UK audience...
Borat, Bruno, or Ali G in Da House? in Movies ·
Which of Sacha Baron Cohen's movies is your absolute favorite? They’re all freaking hilarious, but I’d definitely put Borat at the top of my list. Coming in at number two would be the somewhat underrated Ali G in Da House, followed by Bruno—though honestly, all three are total gems.
Chasing the ghosts of forgotten legends in Movies ·
F. Murray Abraham snagged an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Amadeus —but honestly, he kind of slipped off the A-list after that.

Same goes for Jeff Goldblum—haven't seen him in theaters for ages.
Best movies from America since 1990? in Movies ·
Samuel Ortiz3 said:I think I’d frame the question a little differently—like, which one is the least bad American movie made after 1990?

Look, there are some good American movies out there—it's just that you can basically count them on one hand.
Chasing the ghosts of forgotten legends in Movies ·
Malcolm McDowell—man, he used to crush it in some seriously legendary movies back in the day, but lately? He’s mostly just showing up in those straight-to-streaming B-movies.
Best movies from America since 1990? in Movies ·
Timothy Cox2 said:Can I call this one an 89?
Diploma for Death

Yeah, definitely one of the better ones.
Best movies from America since 1990? in Movies ·
I'm mostly thinking about the era starting around 1990.
My top pick has gotta be warrior time
Chasing the ghosts of forgotten legends in Movies ·
That guy popped up in that Delta Airlines commercial—he’s been all over CNN lately.

Southern Comfort in Movies ·
Southern Comfort—finally sat down and watched the whole thing on CNN yesterday.
Anyone else seen this flick? Curious to hear what you guys think about it.
9/11 Conspiracy in Movies ·
The issue with movies covering this topic is they just dump a ton of data on you that doesn't mean squat to me. Like, I don't know the first thing about structural physics—so I can't really weigh in on whether those folks claiming the building couldn't have collapsed that way are actually onto something.

As for the whole conspiracy question—the claims that bin Laden was pulling all the strings come straight from the same people who "found" the evidence for Saddam's weapons of mass destruction (which, let's be real, never actually showed up).
Final Destination (2009) in Movies ·
briskhound2 said:Basically, Devon Sawa suddenly thought he was some huge A-lister and tried to demand $20 million for a role in the sequel—so the producers just laughed him right out of the room and killed him off instead. Cost them absolutely nothing.

Yeah, honestly, his biggest claim to fame was being in that Eminem music video. They really could’ve just cast someone else... maybe not even the lead, but still...

Anyway, like I mentioned before, the second one just never really clicked for me as a good movie.
