    I will when I watch a movie that I want to say something about. :)

    I think it's just super duper boring. I can't even watch the whole TBH, and I've tried probably 10 times! The reason I kept trying was because I know that it's held up as this magnificent example of great film. And I do really appreciate nuance and all the things that The Godfather is revered for, and of course the acting (which I do appreciate in and of itself). I am well aware. But it just doesn't make up for how fucking boring it is to me. It just goes on and on and on, and I really just don't find myself giving a shit about any of the characters, despite the great acting.
    I am very conscious of the fact that I'm a weirdo for hating this movie, lol.

    Long movies are a tough sell. I love 'Out of Africa', 'The Godfather', and 'Gone with the Wind', but I have to seriously be in the mood to watch them. :smile:

    S'OK. I cannot stand The Wizard of Oz.

    Actually, I like it until Oz, after which it's just a loud, bright, obnoxious mess.

    And for super duper boring movie, Gone With the Wind takes the cake.

    Scarlett's being a fucking bitch.

    Oh look, there's Scarlett being a fucking bitch again.

    Damn, looks like Scarlett's still a fucking bitch.

    Wait a minute. Hold up, Scarlett just stopped being a fucking bitch for a minute, but Rhett doesn't give a damn. Oh well, tomorrow's another day.

    FFS! Could somebody please trample that fucking bitch with a team of horses and then feed her remains to Mr. Wu's fucking pigs.

    I actually normally LOVE long movies..... if they don't bore me to death. :lol: If a movie is really, really good, I don't want it to end, so those ones that are long are the best good movies. Schindler's List comes to mind, as well as Apocalypse Now Redux, the director's cut versions of The Lord of the Rings movies, and Saving Private Ryan. So no, the length of The Godfather really has nothing to do with it for me. I just think the story is boring - it's really just a whole lot of men I don't care for sitting around having really slow conversations.

    :rofl: I don't mind Gone with the Wind overall just because I have a thing for Civil War movies, but I agree that Scarlett is pretty much a fucking bitch, lol.

    - If you have watched the red band trailer, you can technically tell people you saw the movie.

    Gone with the Wind- never saw it.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I wouldn't bother if I were you, unless you just like to say you saw shit, lol.

    I have zero desire to see it. Someone would prob have to duck tape my ass to a chair and force me to take it in.

    Damn straight Scarlett was a bItch with that tight-ass spanx-from-hell corset , having to get all suited and booted for weak-willed and weak-chinned Ashley. Then what does he do? Marries that fiddle-dee-dumb Melanie. But that's ok because Scarlett finds a real man. Then her dang kid gets taken out by my little pony! And Scarlett ends up starving and wearing the same dress as her window. Piss on that! I'd be a raving bitch too.

    That's how I feel about Das Boot.

    There Will Be Blood was the longest, most boring, pretentious pile of overrated garbage I have ever seen. It never went anywhere and there really wasnt any blood.

    Pee Wees Big Adventure is possibly one of the best movies ever created. I believe it was Danny Elfman and Tim Burton's debut, or at least very early on for them. It is a masterpiece. Smoke some weed, watch Pee Wees Big Adventure with some friends. Be happy

    Just introduced pee wees big adventure to my 6 year old son a month ago. He's watched it 4 more times since. He walks around saying "I know you are but what am i, infiniti!"

    Pee Wee is so awesome. The part where they go to the Alamo... genius.

    I like Das Boot. And Gone with the Wind - if you're a girl growing up in the south, you're required to read the book. So you're also required to watch the movie. For spectacle, it's pretty amazing. And Vivien Leigh is gorgeous and very good (yes, she's a bitch though). But I always thought Leslie Howard was unattractive and wimpy.

    Graceful review, well done! Now excuse me while I edit and plagiarize. ;)
