Re: iron man

I heard the riff once during the film. And I will add that even though a great song, Black Sabbath's 'Iron Man' is completely overrated. It's true, War Pigs is where its at. For some reason I got excited about this movie (I rarely get into movie hype) and I learned my lesson; don't trust Rotten Tom...

Re: Book Criticker

yep, Last.fm is basically what you would want as far as music goes. It uses the same general idea as criticker (finds people that have similar taste, then finds other artists that corresponds. The only difference is you don't rate the music yourself, but rather simply listen to it and let the site k...

Re: Adam Sandler

Chris Farley was just way funnier. His comic acting style was just great imo.

Re: What attributes do your top films have in common?

I enjoy films for a more visceral experience, so most of my tops are usually mood/atmosphere/style over a direct narrative. Other than that I like films that evoke powerful emotions from me, or make me laugh immensely, even upon repeat viewings.

Re: Your 10th tier: a decade count

The 40's -- 4
The 50's -- 2
The 60's -- 10
The 70's -- 20
The 80's -- 9
The 90's -- 13
The 00's -- 18


Wow, I knew that the 70's would have the most, but I am surprised to see how many newer ones are up there. Considering I am so unaware of current movies.

Re: Movie rental service

I use Netflix and will recommend it to anyone. Much faster, and much better selection than Blockbuster Online.

Re: Andrei Tarkovsky

I have only seen Stalker, Solaris, and Ivan's Childhood and they are all magnificent (in at least some ways) I honestly wasn't too crazy about Ivan's Childhood. Besides the beautiful B&W cinematography, it didn't really click. On the other hand, the other 2 I have seen totally blew me away. Defi...

Re: Stanley Kubrick

Big Kubrick fan here. ACO, 2001, and Dr. Strangelove are all some of my favorites. All of his movies age excellently, have near perfect pacing, always excellently performed, and every shot looks like it masterfully created (and usually was). Deserves all the credit he gets IMO.
