Man, I wish I could go on those trips too!!🙂

mistyrider36 said:She’s my absolute favorite actress 👍
forever and always.
I mean, obviously Buffy the Vampire Slayer is her most iconic and award-winning role, but I loved her in All My Children too.🙂
Cruel Intentions is my favorite movie, though I’m also dying to see this new Veronika Decides to Die, which happens to be my favorite book.

Learn how to type. A zero isn't an O.

Anyway, back to the point; she's just a mediocre, uninspiring actress with an average look...

Anthony Smith3 said:So, the new American trailer just dropped...

US TRAILER

It’s basically Death Race meets Universal Soldier... something like that.

This is going to be legendary.👍
Gerard Butler has been the king since 300.🙏

So what exactly are you expecting? I mean, comedy as a genre basically died yesterday. What, do you need some kind of divine intervention just so every single new movie can reinvent the wheel and find some unheard-of way to approach comedy that's somehow even wilder than the last one? If you had even a grain of sense, you'd realize a Director's Cut is just something new and unseen. I get that this reminds you of American Pie or Superbad and stuff, but that's really it, man—you're either doing comedy within those teenage Sex Drive frameworks, or you're doing Borat, Jackass, Mr. Bean, or Jack Black style, plus maybe a few others I can't think of right now. But that's the limit... everything else is just variations on a theme.
Seriously though, tell me, what do you think about the movie Taken starring Liam Neeson?

Since you asked, Taken is a total cliché, but it’s easily one of the best movies from 2008. So what now?

If you actually want to watch a good comedy, check these out:

Those are some newer ones.
From the classics: Aca Ventura, Groundhog Day, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, etc.

There's no need to "discover" new ways to do comedy, and I'm certainly not expecting it. And a Director's Cut isn't some groundbreaking new thing; it's usually just forced garbage.
Sex Drive is trash.

Desperate, stale, dumb, forced, predictable, and totally bland. Every single "joke" felt like something I've already seen a billion times before... Just gross.
Seriously, this might be one of the most pathetic comedies I've ever sat through.
The only redeeming qualities are the car and that actress.
And yeah, I even watched the Director's cut. It's absolute GARBAGE.

Does anyone know where I can track down the Director's cut? Feel free to shoot me a DM.

silentmaker51 said:Was she ever even pretty? I don't recall her being attractive at all; she always seemed way too aggressive for my taste... and hey, that’s just how I feel. But yeah, I agree about Scarlett—she’s a total queen. She’s actually one of my favorites, so I honestly have no idea why she’d agree to act in such a trashy movie.

You should watch Dark City; she looked absolutely stunning in that.

electricsailor13 said:Honestly, this movie was a total disaster. Especially the ending. What a complete waste of time. I guess I went in thinking it might have some of that Hitch charm, but man, was I wrong. I was seriously disappointed.

And I mean, what else is he going to say? Scarlett Johansson was pretty much the only redeeming quality in the whole thing. God, seeing Jennifer Connelly look that bad was just tragic. Where did that beauty from A Beautiful Mind???? 😲

And man, she was absolutely stunning in Dark City...😢

silentmaker51 said:My friend and I were hyped for this movie for an entire month. We spent ages hunting for it on torrent sites and file-sharing platforms but couldn't find a single trace of it. Honestly, you'd think it had some crazy high-level encryption keeping it offline, but after finally sitting through it, we realized the truth: nobody bothered uploading it because the movie is just that garbage. I mean, look, everyone has their own taste and I don't want to offend anyone, but in my opinion, this was pure trash. It felt like a direct insult to anyone's intelligence—men and women alike. This whole thing just proves that even if you have an incredible cast with actually decent actors, you can't save a total disaster like this. I feel like I wasted my damn $10 on this. Seriously, I don't think I've ever been this let down by a movie in my life. It’s not even worth watching for a fifteen-year-old girl, let alone someone who actually uses their brain. A complete failure. Just awful. I’m probably going to have nightmares about it. Now I know better—never trust a star-studded cast or a massive marketing campaign again. I'll check the reviews first next time, though even those aren't always reliable. If I had known anything before seeing the trailer, I would never, ever have watched it.

Exactly. Total junk. The only redeeming quality in the whole thing is Scarlett Johansson.😍

briskhound2 said:The future is always a toss-up... I’d honestly prefer if they just slapped on some happy ending. But I get where you're coming from; there’s a lot left unsaid in his work, and maybe that's not everyone's cup of tea. Still, as a standalone movie, it made me trust Ridley Scott as a solid director, which is why I'm interested in Knowing, though I'm waiting for a better quality stream.😁

As for The Matrix—man, what a pathetic way to wrap up that trilogy. All that buildup just to end on some weak, shaky truce? The creators got so lost in their own deep thoughts that the philosophy basically became philosophy about philosophy. That said, the first one is a totally fine piece of sci-fi action that I don't mind revisiting every now and then.

The first Matrix was a masterpiece and should've just stayed right there. The rest just exist to show off flashy special effects, push some romance between Neo and Trinity, and ramble on with more philosophy. The second movie is garbage, the third is slightly better, but both are unnecessary and just plain bad.

briskhound2 said:Yeah, but now they actually have the power to shape their own destiny, whatever that ends up looking like, and finally carve out their own identity. Basically, the movie is telling us that nobody has the right to strip away our free will or our right to an opinion—it just happens to be wrapped up in an SF milieu. And honestly, the best part about all of this is... The Matrix He talked about this movie so many times that the directors probably should have just given him a special shout-out in the credits.

I'm all for Jennifer, honestly. If she were just a little younger and didn't have an Oscar on her shelf... man, that would be something.😍

Yeah, sure, they're free now—but only if you count living in some floating space colony as being "free." 😁
I guess that sense of freedom in The Matrix just opened up way more possibilities.

I don't know, maybe I'm just being cynical, but I honestly think this whole thing is a mess. I guess people want to believe there's some grand design here, but from where I'm sitting, it looks like a total disaster waiting to happen. It’s just one thing after another, isn't it? Honestly, it feels like we're just spinning our wheels at this point. kaže:
I’ve already watched those movies. I think I made that pretty clear already. They’re definitely better than *I, Robot*, but even with that one, I still think Alex Proyas is a cool director. He’s brilliant because of those films, honestly. Now, I really need to check out what he did with *Knowing*.

The ending of Dark City is absolutely incredible. 😍

SPOILER
I honestly can't stand it because it feels pretty... stupid and pointless. Sure, he finally dealt with those clock guys, the sun is shining, and you've got waves hitting the shore, but everything else is exactly the same except for that sun. It’s still just this tiny little town floating somewhere in space surrounded by a bit of water—something people haven't figured out yet, and now they want to; so what? To me, the ending is just extremely dumb. And besides, Jennifer is absolutely stunning.😁

Looks like some even lower-budget trash to me.

Kevin Kern said:So, regarding those newer ones—like No Country for Old Men.

Yeah, I agree, they really nailed the atmosphere with those endless deserts and how isolated everything feels.

I was just thinking about The Terminator, especially those scenes in the police station. That sense of pure dread, desperation, and helplessness... man, they executed that perfectly.🙏

The Godfather, hands down, has no competition.
Half of these movies are absolute masterpieces, but I guess The Godfather is just on a completely different level.

I honestly can't make up my mind. I put The Departed on the list, but I think American Beauty might actually be better. I guess all of these are just incredible, though. Even stuff like Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, Million Dollar Baby, and No Country for Old Men. They’re all great in their own way.

briskhound2 said:You've got X-Men. It isn't strictly post-apocalyptic, I guess, but it touches on those themes of war and uses some WWI-style imagery, all set in the future where Earth is pretty much a wasteland.

Not a bad flick. Those opening trench scenes are actually really solid.

Anyway, if you want the best post-apocalyptic stuff out there, the Mad Max trilogy is king.

The Godfather is pretty much the only movie that actually beats the book.👍
Dammit, it just has to be, when the thing is perfect. 😁

I'm guessing Audi insisted the car stay pristine just to make the ad look better, 😁
but the way they handled the camera work and the editing here is honestly just idiotic. It actually reminds me of that one scene from Children of Men. It runs for five minutes straight. Probably one of the best scenes I've ever seen..

The camera work is way too fast, the chase feels totally off, and it’s just the usual mindless beatdown. But honestly, the weirdest part? That Audi flies through several walls, train cars, and even a forest, and the only damage you see is a broken window after it basically "lands" back in the car.
And don't even get me started on that idiot trying to pull the car out of the river. LOL.
Based on how that looked, there was so much air in those tires the car could've just floated away...
Oh, and yeah, I actually liked the female lead. I guess I have a thing for redheads.😁
