Bob Crane movies should be their own seperate genre of film. Alongside the summer months having an "action" film and a "suspense" film and a "comic book" flick and all that, each year should bring us another piece of cinema surrounding the life and times of Mr. Crane.

"Auto-Focus" starring Greg Kinnear and that misshappen Canadian actor beats the tar out of Boogie Nights IMO (although BN was good). Never has the decent into seediness and desperation been so elegantly rendered.

I am loathsome. Don't mess with me.

[quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"]I hate you all, of course.[/quote]

I'll justify the deepest knife to cut you, bitch.

For the record, I would prefer to be hated more than Ex-Reader of Robb's SHIT but less than Violet.

Also, as far as PTA films go, "Hard Eight" isn't as good as the others, even though it isn't without its charms.

Did you watch Magnolia yet?

Careful readers may note that I didn't quite get round to shutting this place down, as I had threatened to do earlier in this thread.

Nevertheless, this entire base has been somewhat of an experiment in self-hate. I would recommend it to any of you who are similarly hoping to keep yourself "regular." There's no feeling like getting up in the morning (or afternoon -- substitute where need be) and clicking on a few threads before you've even tasted the oversweetened blueberry-like substance contained within your Toaster's Strudel and seeing a number of individuals call you out as somewhat of a manchild douchebag.

I hate you all, of course. But, and this is important to me, I hate you all [i]equally.[/i] There was no secret that, when the Sherwin boys were growing up, the actor playing "Dad" had more of an affection to the youngest brother, while the actress who played the part of "Mom" definitely had more love for the oldest. I... I don't want it to be like this for you lot and I. I want you able to go to sleep at night content with the fact that your portion of hate is [i]just as large[/i] as your fellow JC Hate Mongers. Roody does not have a larger bowl than the Milker. Greg does not possess his allotment of hate, and then an extra, hidden, six-pack of (if I recall that Snoop sketch correctly) "Hater Aid" stashed somewhere... that is, unless all of you, from Da King right down to the Milker's second, alternative account has one as well.

I only pray that Ben does not find another Paul Thomas Anderson film, rent it, and then begin to hit me over the head with how "great" it is before I can terminate this place, and then the very memory of this place from the uncaring and altogether horrific minds that the bunch of you, evily, possess.

I pray that does not happen.

No matter.

See you all in Hell, my friends.

the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!

This is the only place on the Internet where disliking things isn't "cool."

Parrish, have you ever NOT liked a movie? I question your standards. All I hear from you is how so - and - so is the best movie ever.

Me, I thought Boogie Nights was brilliant. It wasn't quite the emotional punch to the nads that Leaving Las Vegas was, but it was a fine fine film.

I also thought Orgazmo was brilliant, but in a totally different way.

The late Gene Siskel, everyone. Let's give him a big hand.

Why are you offering film critique about a movie that 1) you vaguely remember and that 2) is a movie, which you just said you don't care about?

This is the movies AND sex base. If you don't care about movies, you can always talk about sex.

Or how much of an asshole JQW is. It's the Movies & Sex & JQW is a Buttplug base.

What? I vaguely remember the movie. I all remember is a sign that said hello eighties or something. I just don't give a shit about film.

You've gotta be kidding me, Worm. Just when you were showing some serious progress. The party is there for "no reason other than to mark the passing of time"?

Does anybody actually WATCH and THINK ABOUT movies anymore, or do we just go there for the popcorn and to see how many explosions we can fit into an hour and a half?

This is very depressing.

[quote="Worm"]- Could we of fleshed out the people more? Or followed them more than a month in their lives?[/quote]

You're thinking of a different movie, Worm. In Boogie Nights, we follow all of the main characters for at least six years, 1977 - 1983.

[quote]Maybe I didn't like it. Maybe I have no good taste.[/quote]

Maybe you didn't see it. (But if in fact you DID see it, then yes, I agree with both of those statements.)

So, I don't know about movies. I have no idea what makes them great or doesn't. I know some I enjoy for reasons such as plot, characters, humor, if people to amazing stunts, or how much kung fu there is.

I liked boogie nights.
Pros:
+ Showed that desperation and cock sucking are ultimately caused by porno and coke.
+ Showed banks don't like porno stars
+ You can jerk off to it in a pinch
Cons:
- I mean how far can you go if you are making the story of John Holmes without the name?
- The whole sign lighting up business ... did we lay it on too thick that he was a small town kid?
- Could we of fleshed out the people more? Or followed them more than a month in their lives?

Maybe I didn't like it. Maybe I have no good taste.

Better to do it while I still have more posts than pinback, I guess. It's a great thing he didn't log in for so long.

You are all hateful, cruel people and I no longer wish to associate with any of you on any level. I will be shutting this place down forever in the morning. The experiment was a failure and I refuse to be humilated along these lines any longer.

None of this would have happened if you'd just...

If you'd just LIKED BOOGIE NIGHTS. That's where it all starts, and that's where it all ends.

(Unless you finally watch Magnolia and come around on that.)

I hate every single one of you.

You seem to be implying something about me in this post.
