Graeme Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It might help if you've read the books.If you have a decent attention span too that also helps. Joking aside. It's raved about because it's the only comic book to be perfectly adapted onto the big screen. The film noir with the great pacing and acting along with a great story that connects together. I think that sums up why it's raved about.The Dark Knight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuffy78 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 TDK has similarities and nods from several comic books.Miller's Sin City is from a series of book's. TDK has influence from Long Halloween, Killing Joke, Man Who Laughs, and TDK returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Yeah, and Sin City is basically the comic put on film. Some scenes in the movie look exactly the same as they do in the book.Rodriguez needs to get his shit together and do the 'A Dame To Kill For' storyline already. I need another Mickey Rourke as Marv fix. Edited November 28, 2008 by Dead Flower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 And Angelina Jolie won't stop having fucking kids, which means she won't be playing Ava. She's so selfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just watched Irreversible. I actually had to turn it off for a moment. I'd care to explain but it might be against forum rules I'm not sure.Explain it within Forum Rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConstant Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) "Risky Business" is really good. The direction is stylish and there satire has a haunting, lyrical tone. So much more than a teen sex comedy. Almost too ironic at times, and the satire on 80's materialism and good ol' American capitalism comes surprisingly early in the decade, before its worst excesses. It's American Psycho years before that.Oh, and the Tangerine Dream score is awesome. Edited November 28, 2008 by adaddnaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly a fucked up film, but still good.To be honest, I didn't feel that the rape scene was as brutal as people portray it to be. Yes, it was terrible, but I feel that the brutality of the act was diminished because the scene just went on for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm about to watch Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. I really liked the first one and the second one was just as good from what I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still pretty repulsed by the way he knocked her head in the ground until you could hear her skull cracking. Not a way to treat a girl to say the least.

Spuffy78 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's more or less the fact that it's a passionate rape scene.Blood, guts, gore, and mutation has never bugged me.But animal killing and rape always leaves me un-easyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red (which is a really good film, by the way) made a much stronger impression on me than, say, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Quite strange, actually.

Angelica Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Australia is a fucking train wreck. It's not even likeable in an ironic campy way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuffy78 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Australia is a fucking train wreck. It's not even likeable in an ironic campy way. You should see Sleepaway Camp 4. Isaac hayes as the Chef "Hello Children" I swear I've heard that line before. Red sounds a lot like Craven's Last House On The Left. The basic premise of the revenge anyways.

Black Sabbath Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I really enjoyed Hellboy 2. I liked the first a lot, and this one was just as good. It definitely leaves room for a third one.Ron Perlman is such a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basic premise of the revenge anyways.Craven's film is a remake of Bergman's "The Virgin Spring". No question which one is more consistently good and better-made, but shockingly it's Craven's film that packs a more visceral punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
