Flix I seen (speaking of propaganda)

[Gendo]

The Iron Giant - Only took me 15 years to finally see it. Pretty good, though very simple. I mean, it's a kids movie mostly. But good animation, heartfelt sentiment. But total liberal anti-gun propaganda.

Jarhead - Good look into war and the life of Marines. Jake is excellent as always.

Jacob's Ladder - Good, as expected. I wasn't blown away by it, but it had been very hyped up for me. And the whole thing had already been spoiled a bit, though it's also not one of those twists that you can't see coming. Since I knew the spoiler, I actually wasn't sure if the writers had intended for it to be a secret until the end, or if you were supposed to have already figured it out through various things that were said.

Dark City (Director's Cut) - Great movie. It's been long enough since I've seen it that I didn't recognize the Director's Cut changes.

Nights in Rodanthe - I had this one mostly because it's about the Outer Banks. And because I like Sparks' other stuff ok. This was pretty bad. I mean, it just seemed to have no point. Spoilers: The main character dies at the end.. And it just seems like there was no reason at all for that to happen. It had nothing to do with the main plot or point. It just seemed like Sparks saying "Yeah, I like to kill my main characters to make the reader sad, lulz."

Almost Famous - I guess I was expecting more. I mean, it was definitely good; but it had been really hyped up. The music was great of course. The acting was great.

The Iron Giant

One of the best animated flicks. The simplicity makes it good. Total propaganda, though.

Jarhead

Good good.

Almost Famous

Who hyped it up? I mean, it's a fun little thing but certainly nothing to get excited about. Great soundtrack.


Haven't seen the other three.

Well aside from winning best screenplay, it just seems like it was one of those movies that I've heard "you really need to see this" multiple times. But I can't remember for sure; it's quite possible that I hyped it up myself after seeing some clips with Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Also just finished: House of D.

I liked it. Probably a movie most people haven't even heard of. Directed by David Duchovny, with Robin Williams. Apparently the critics dislike it, because it has a really low Rotten Tomatoes score; but a descent enough Audience score.

[CashRules]

I've seen zero movies on this thread.

Only one I've seen is Almost Famous, and I'm not sure I've seen all of it. It seems like I've just caught bits and pieces of it when it comes out on TV while I'm channel surfing. It's not bad.
