Prairie Home Companion was the best movie I've seen all year, and easily my favourite comedy since The Big Lebowski. Damn shame it was Altman's last film, but what a fine film it was. Reccomend massive repeat viewings. Sing along fun!
True dat, I got hand it to Altman he made some very interesting movies... How do you go from Popeye to Dr. T and the Women?
Wowm some of you guys are crazy.
i don't think I've even seen any movie released in 2006.
Or barely even seen a movie that year. Time flies by fast
I can't believe how quickly that year went by. Man, where the hell was I.
You know what's even sadder, the fact that I don't end up seeing all the best movies from 2006 till 2007, when they all hit DVD due to Oscar Season
That is my point. In the end just before the camera start strolling down the aisle. They both have a oh sh** moment. Like they are second guessing the decision they made.
Alright. I am listening. How would you have done the movie differently, & if you don't mind I would like it to be detailed. I will read all of it. I just want to see what one you Night haters would have done. If you were to make this movie.
I gave the movie a 3/5 which means I found it entertaining however there were some glaring faults. I tend not to go into what I would do, unless it's my own personal writing excerise, since it's highly presumptious and slightly disrespectful. Since I can apprieciate M. Night's rising up and getting to his goal of being a director, I haven't obtained that yet, maybe I never will, plus it's not my story. However, I think it could of been great had he done a rewrite of the script. A lot of the problems have to do with inside jokes and going with his first idea thus making a lot of things in the movie far too easy.
Not really, no. I didn't think of it at all, in fact, until I saw your post.
Nobody complains when Quentin Tarantino or Kevin Smith casts themselves in one of their movies. Hell, Silent Bob fought a ****-demon in a hospital and helped saved the Earth, and no one said it was "self-indulgent".
Well I didn't complain about it with The Lady in the Water, at least I dont' think I did. However there is a clear defined difference in how there use. QT has never had a central role in any of his films, there usually just cameo parts of some random dick, which QT fits perfectly
Kevin Smith has had one and only one persona in all his films and he does it wonderfully. M Night isn't really an actor and with every film eh seems to just keep giving himself a bigger role, he doesn't do a bad job, but it probably be better if he got someone else, I don't really mind. As for Kevin Smith his movies are films about films, or his ramblings on life, the reason there fun is because there self-indulgent and saddly it's teh reason he'll never evolve as a film-maker.
Movies205 must have no life or any extra income if he saw all of those films.
Far from it... It's called a job as well as my earlier explanation. In college I have work study, which means I work inbetween classes and I do nothing except my homework which clears up my nightlife. And the local theatre every wed and tues. has a discount for college students, $5.75. Also incorporate the fact that anytime there's an open-caption movie, my parents will pay for my ticket, so that's like a quarter of those films throughout the year.
You know alot of these movies are gonna suck before you go see them,so why do you torture yourself?
Sometimes I'm curious about certain films... Hostel, I enjoy horror films and figure QT wouldn't put his name on ****. With the Shaggy Dog, my mom rented it and was watching it while I was on the computer so that's how I saw that. Eragon, I'm a fantasy geek, I had to see it.
I did. Reading your review sounds like you should have given the movie a score lower than what you did, but instead, you gave it what seemed like a passing score.
When most of your paragraphs about a movie are negative, and you have a few sentences that are positive, that sounds like a 2 score to me, going by your own particular rating system.
And no, I don't think you deserve your own thread. If everyone did what you did, this board would be very annoying.
I can view things through the eyes of someone who's seen a lot of different types of cinema which allows me to be very critical, but when I'm actually watching a film, I just sit back and let it take me where it wants to take me, it allows me to enjoy most movies I watch. However, second viewings are usually brutal.
That and I don't peruse these boards 24/7 so I didn't feel like searching for a similar thread... 
it was an uncalled for attack and you responded,no one is in any trouble or nothing i just pruned it so the topic can keep on track
