    No, death and horrific circumstances are fine if there is some point to them and to the film. The Passion of the Christ is basically a film that has been made several times before, just with added gore. The entire focus is on the brutality. I have no problem with shocking art, I felt physically sick after watching Gaspar Noe's Irreversible but I still appreciated it and what it was attempting to say. I just didn't find this particular film very artistic. It was just cheap shocks designed to garner publicity.

    maybe to you. :) obviously not to others.

    Of course, I never denied that. That is, in fact, the purpose of this thread.

    Didn't like 'The Departed' at all. Way too much Boston.

    I'm getting the feeling every movie is going to be listed eventually...


    bunch of uptight mother-f-ers hehe
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Some of those Disney films are fucking killer, like Fantasia. The newer ones are crap though.

    Have you watched the Wizard of Oz as an adult? I was watching Goodfellas when I was about 10 (my parents were pretty lenient :D) so WofO was crap kiddy stuff when I was younger. I watched it last year and it was trippy as hell... I had a whole new appreciation for it.

    There was no point. Their only goal was to increase the sales of apples in the Northeast after a poor harvest the prior year.

    Oh yeah! That too! But mostly for the apples. :D On a mostly unrelated note, Minnie Driver can spend the night anytime at my place. Just in case anyone has a connection. ;)
