I am stupid now? Well that is so nice of you to say.Con Carne said:You're absolutely right. I am avoiding the question. I'm also avoiding a potentially stupid online debate over something as simple as an OPINION.Simriel said:You are avoiding the question.Con Carne said:I never once, said anything about my taste in movies being better than yours. I'm just stating my opinions, and you seem to be getting bent out of shape about them.Simriel said:So what films of 2009 appealed to your amazing and obviously so much more refined than my own tastes?Con Carne said:Avatar was one of the "Best Films of the year" too. I try to forget that exists also.Simriel said:Well given that it was one of the best films of the year, and frankly it was HITLER GETTING SHOT WITH MACHINE GUNS! forgetting what happened seems a bit strangeCon Carne said:Simriel said:Dude... the events portrayed Valkyrie really happened. Thats pretty much how the assassination attempt went down. Its based on real events. In Inglorious Basterds they succeed in killing Hitler. Hell they shoot his body to pieces with sub machine guns.Con Carne said:It was slow, boring, and awful. Terentino (I know I'll be flamed for this lol) Needs to stop making films and go to a part of the world so we can forget he exists.
The only thing I give it credit for, is doing the same thing "Valkyrie" did....keeping it so they didn't succeed in killing Hitler.
Yeah, I know "Valkyrie" was based on a true story.
Forgive me for forgetting how Basterds ended. I tried to block it's atrocity from memory.
Ummmm.....do you read things through? I said a potentially stupid debate.

Right before this goes into an arguement, i'm going to bite and ask what films (Con Carne) actually likes? Honest opinion, not trying to turn this into a fight. I'm just interested to see what you'd put.Con Carne said:Ummmm.....do you read things through? I said a potentially stupid debate.

why does it matter? he doesn't like Inglorious and Avatar for his own reasons. Why does it matter what other movies he may like?Tandrews said:Right before this goes into an arguement, i'm going to bite and ask what films (Con Carne) actually likes?

Damn was completely ninja'd there. I agree completely with atalanta. The whole point of that scene was whether or not he was toying with her the entire time about knowing her true identity and the suspense that that brung.atalanta said:Wait, are you serious? That was the the most suspenseful part of the movie. It's not obvious whether or not Landa recognises Shosanna, and he forces her to keep up the charade of being who she says she is, even while doing things that are calculated to remind her of the death of her family (ordering fresh cream with dessert directly parallels getting a glass of milk from the farmer, etc). He doesn't have to come out and shriek "YOU'RE A JEW!" in her face; the subtlety and cruelty are what make the scene work.xXAsherahXx said:The dessert scene is where I lost hope and almost walked out. I mean c'mon, they are sitting there forever waiting for something dessert related, and she has her panties in a twist (which is understandable). The point being, I'm just sitting there while they wait for dessert, and I'm not feeling suspense. Nothing even happens on the subject of "yous be a Jew and I's be some crazy Nazi guy that wants to finish the job I started early in this movie". That scene is where I gave up.
...And don't call it plot development, because nothing else on that subject happens again for the rest of the movie. My friend uses that one.
Because he singled out avatar and Inglorious and showed dislike towards them. I thought they were some of the better films out last year so i'm surprised is all. Just want to see what his taste in films is like to compare.elcamino41383 said:why does it matter? he doesn't like Inglorious and Avatar for his own reasons.
