I hear a lot mate. Not on here, but people i know say that it's one of the top 5 GOAT films. IMO it isn't

I don't *hate* Skyler from Breaking Bad. I don't like her, but I don't hate her so much that I wish Walter would put her in an acid barrel like a lot of BrBa fans wish he would.

-coen brothers movies suck

-never saw the big deal about the Star Wars movies. They're alright but nowhere near the masterpieces everyone tries to make them out to be

Jaws, Raiders, Duel, Jurassic Park, Minority Report are all immense though. Spielberg plus big budget and high concept usually equals greatness.

Add A.I. to that list. Underrated movie imo

Requiem for a Dream is a terrible movie.
Brad Pitt is underrated.
If he chooses to focus on acting instead of singing, Michael Pitt could have a great career.

Anyway, I would have a lot to say, but just to name a few...

-South Park hasn't been good since the 11th or so season.

-Halloween = Greatest horror film ever without a doubt

-I love every single Saw movie

-I don't really like any of the Bourne movies

-First Hulk Movie > Second Hulk Movie

-Futurama > Any animated comedy

Seth McFarlene is a lazy hack of a writer and 90% of what he did is utter rubbish

This is why I hate Twilight, it has ruined the vampire theme's name.

Also True Blood was both written before Twilight and was also aired before it too.

Vampire Dairies predated Twilight too. The books atleast

And spot on about McFarlene.

Star Trek Enterprise is the worst incarnation of the franchise

Very true. I thought he was great in Murder By Numbers, very underrated performance and movie. I was mad when he got killed off in Boardwalk Empire but there really wasn't much else to do with his character after he failed trying to be in the big-leagues, killed his father, had his wife murdered, and we found out he had sex with his mother.

Some cinema ones:

- Hitchcock, Godard and Griffith, in that order, are by far the most influential directors of all time.

- The people who believe that Hollywood begins (and the history of cinema) in the 70's with Coppola, Scorsese, Lucas and Spielberg is fuckin brainless, specially the ones who include any of them (outside Scorsese) in a list of GOATs

- Cameron, Nolan, Aranofsky, Boyle, Haggis, Howard and Scott are fuckin awful directors. All the things they are done were awful and, more important, disgraceful. The only exceptions to this rule were Blade Runner and Alien.

- Then Fincher, The Coens and Anderson (Paul, no Wes) are overrated, mediocre filmmakers with two or three real good movies.

- Tarantino probably will be the american director of his generation and will replace Scorsese and Eastwood in that category.

- Even when the original Star Wars trilogy were fun the effect that they has in the way of producing films was terrible and today we can see the results.

- Jonathan Rosenbaum >>> Any Critic >>>> Roger Ebert. I don't need reviews full of "in my opinion" or " i Like that" even a boy can do that. If you wanna be a critic, write some thing than can be discused and debated at an intelectual leveL, specially if we are talking about art.

- Acting is not about lose or gain 800 pounds, or dress up yourself at the point no one can recognized you. Or worse, act like a retard and being fucking histerical, like you have parkinson or something. Someone should tell this to people like Sean Penn

The Coens aren't overrated, they make fantastic movies. I agree with most other things you've said.
