Re: The Pacific

The production values are obviously through the roof, but it lacks the narrative cohesion that Band of Brothers had. It's certainly quality stuff, but not essential viewing.

Re: Screw indie/artsy director threads, let's talk Scott

I highly skeptical of Robin Hood being PG-13. Is this another case like Kingdom of Heaven where the studio is fucking it up and we'll have to hold out for the director's cut to see the real movie?

Re: Iron Man (2008) vs. Star Trek (2009)

Star Trek if only on the strength of the opening scene. More emotion there than in the rest of both movies combined.

For the record I enjoy both immensely.

Re: One Half OK, One Half WTF?

The biggest example of this for me was The Descent. Probably the best horror movie I've seen in a long, long time for about the first half/two thirds, then it turns into steaming pile of dogshit in the last half hour(regardless of which ending you watch).
