  1. Limitless - I was enjoying this up until the ending where everthing got wrapped up too nicely. The Evil Dead - The original. Terrible. Bruce Campbell was a wuss for most of the movie. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocal - Pretty much what you would expect from a Mission Impossible movie. Nothing spectacular. Hartfield & McCoys - Loved this. Very much worth the 5 hours it takes to watch the whole thing. Snow White and the Huntsman & Mirror Mirror - Watched these two within a couple of days of each other. Huntsman was utterly boring. Mirror Mirror at the very least had some fun elements to it, The Raven - Meh Shooter & Haywire - As far as action movies go these were pretty decent. I liked Haywire a little bit more.
  2. I'm going to say yes. Due process is too slow. Even if there is a trial and found guilty there will be years of appeals and it will drag on for decades. There needs to be a way to expedite the whole process in the extreme cases of this bomber and James Holmes. There is overwhelming evidence against this guys, lets put a bullet in their brain. Do you guys know Jared Loughner struck a deal for life imprisonment to avoid the death penalty? Dude kills 6 people, shoots a congresswoman in the head, and will probably outlive 80% of the posters on this forum. That dude needs a bullet in his brain as well.
  3. Well, since I like making lists.... 1. Pulp Fiction - His masterpiece. One of the most influential films made in the last 20 years. It defied genres, changed the landscape of filmaking, and inspired countless imitators. Do I really need to go into why this is #1? 1B. Reservoir Dogs - It pains me to put this second so I'm listing it 1B. I love Reservoir Dogs. I still very vividly remember my first viewing of Reservoir Dogs and when THAT SCENE comes on... holy ish. 3. Jackie Brown - Most Tarantino films seem there are from some alternate universe where planes have holders for swords and souls are kept in briefcases. Jackie Brown is much more grounded in reality and at the same time I think it is his best technically crafted work. Everything comes together and it just works for me. 4. Kill Bill - His most fun film. I'm a big fan of old Samurai films and I have to say Tarantino hit some good notes with Kill Bill. 5. Django Unchained - Sometimes Tarantino needs to be protected from himself. Django can be brilliant in moments, but then Tarantino shoots himself in the foot with scenes that just don't belong in the same movie together. I wished I loved it, but I don't. 6. Death Proof - Some people hate it, I don't. Death Proof (like Django) just needed a better edit job. Someone needed to take the film out of Tarantino's hands and told him you need to cut these scenes to make this movie watchable. It is a shame really because Kurt Russell was fantastic as Stuntman Mike. 7. Inglourious Basterds - Saw it once, did not care to see it again. Meh.
  4. I bet Angelswin can come up with a better overall top 10 by consensus.
  5. It's on the internet, so it must be true.
  6. Like it or not when it comes to movies being remembered it is the movie snobs that win out.
  7. Finally got around to seeing Argo. I found it lacked heart. We barely get to know any of the characters and thus I found it hard to really give a damn about them. Plus knowing it is a true story takes away from the suspense.
  8. Burned through 7 seasons of the West Wing in roughly 50 days. Starting up Dollhouse.
  9. Ha. I was banned from Top Buzz once as well. No reason given. I just created a new account. The guys that run that site have zero people skills.
  10. They cut what they felt would make the most outrage over cuts.
  11. I can think of only two scenarios where drones would be used on US soil. 1. We are being invaded by another super power. 2. We are in full out civil war. Both these options are so extreme and unlikely that it doesn't marit another huge thread.
  12. The military is not law enforcment. The military should not have a role in going after domestic terrorists. I also believe state and federal agencies (FBI, ATF, National Guard) should not have drone technology. So I'm going to have to go with NO on this.
  13. Of course this is the correct answer to this thread.
  14. Nice. I've tried and failed to get more people to watch this. It is certainly something that sticks with you for a while. We always get the Amercan side of WWII, but the Japanese and Russians have also made some great WWII movies. I recommend Ballad of a Soldier if you want to see a Russian WWII film.
  15. How did Superman go to school if he lacked the proper paper work? Didn't he need to get shots?
