hahaha i agree
u seen boyz n the hood tho?
or crows zero?
crows zero is my fav movie of all time, for that reason, u watch it and just wanna f*ck somebody up after

I dont think I made a statement like that in my posts.

yea i know, thats why i said it would be different if u did:vsign:

the crow, was amazing. i havent seen any other crow movies though

haha:D
CROWS ZERO= Yamada Takayuki and Oguri Shun (japanese movie)
the CROW= Brandon Lee (american movie)

but ive seen the crow, i liked it a lot when i was younger but havent seen it since

o yeah, woopz>.< sorry about that. when i see the word 'crow' in movie title i instantly think brandon lee

was that a takashi miike movie? i cant remember and im to lazy to look it up

takashi miike it was!
best director in japan
to me
but thats a different thread

its difficult not to get off topic>.<

One thing I know is that the Dark Knight is The Joker. He just stole the movie.
Batman is almost relegated to the second role and we forget about Two-face.

He's such... a true villain. When he burn the pile of cash and says "I like gas and dynamite, they are cheap". He's the real and pure psychomaniac villain.
And Ledger did an awesome job with that.

I wouldn't be surprise to see a movie "The Joker : The beginning" in a few years.

hahaha when i sent that last comment i had just realized it
cus now i wanna talk about any movie, that comes up. especially crows zero since its my number one movie of all the time
but this is something we just CANT do lol

:vsign:

took the words from my mouth
"how bout i cut your body into little pieces and feed you to ya poochis"
that line is hard
the joker was so HARD in batman
i swear
he was hard
i saw that movie 3 times in theaters
by myself
with a female
and with my homeboi
then online with my cousin
AND on my ipod

oh yea ppl still talk about it where im at for sure

Are you saying it does that because of the amazing acting by Al Pacino, or because the movie glamorizes violence?

I guess its a "like or like not" movie.

But even if you dislike, I guess most of people are in accordance to say that Al Pacino is an awesome actor.

It's so raw and realistic. That is the pure gangster movie.

I also liked American Gangster but to a different level.

But movies are like musics, tastes can't be discussed.

I'm not interested to watch the new Star Trek movie because I'm not into sci-fi
While some people are literally jisming about this.

i think its the violence
i know a lot of dudes who sell drugs and dont live like that at all, and talk about scarface purely cus it was just sum gangsta shit, it has nothing about the acting to them just life he lives as this untouchable druglord who gets women busts his guns and snort coke all day.
then i know ppl who like it for the acting

i agree its a hate it or love it..
but

ive never seen a star trek anything
but when i see that trailer i wanna be a space ship captain and jump off rockets and out of cars into ditches lol
ppl are different

I agree, heath Ledger perfe=ormance isnt even discussed much anymore as compared to Al pacino's in Scarface.

I agree, heath Ledger performance isnt even discussed much anymore as compared to Al pacino's in Scarface.

The visual effects look goods but like I said, I'm not in fantastic and sci-fi

Did you see the movie "300" ? Lots of my friends loved that movie while I despised it to a point I consider its the worst movie ever.

Why ? Simply because I saw the movie "The 300 Spartans" of the 60s, I've read lots of historical books about the battle of thermopylae and that this new hollywood movie just took an historical event and turned it into a ridiculous cartoon.

It's like to take 9/11 and instead of terrorists hijacking planes it's mysterious creatures who summon dragons and then they launch it against 2 twin ivory towers. In my opinion they scrapped an historical event

My point is, people see each movies differently according to their own experiences.

Lets see if we are still going to talk about it in the next 20 years.

I haven't heard anyone discuss Pacino's performance in Scarface as something amazing ever before today.

LMFAO
hahahahhaha that was sum funny shit
yea i saw 300 and thought was amazing, and u made me feel like an asshole
lol thats cool tho
300 was dope, but i saw a old ass movie called sparticus (sp?)
and tho me that was better than 300..
to each their own!

"dragons and ivory towers"

hahaha your a funny dude

It's true its not a everyday topic.

H : " Hey whatsup up today dude ?"
F : " Oh not much, I was just thinking about Pacino in Scarface..."

haha
true the reason why it came up between us last week was cus we were talking about stuff thats manly...if u know my brother then him saying something about something being manly wouldnt be weird, it would sound like some everyday talk...but yea then scarface came up and yea.

but yea MOST ppl that talk about scarface isnt for al pacino's acting but cuz of how gangsta the movie was. that was the first time i talked to someone that thought the acting was on point and not just cus of the gangsta shit

Hahaha!

But like i said, I had personnal reasons to dislike it.

But I think about the young boy who see this movie and then at school they talk about the spartans and the battle of thermopylae and he raises his hand and say "OH YEAH, THEY WERE FIGHTING AGAINST RHINOS AND SHITZZ!!!!"
Oops!

haha thats very true
i never thought about it like that at all actually
they made it cool at the expense of the actual story

Oh I see.

But you know, about that manly thing, notice that no girls are interested in movies like Scarface, or barely.

The same goes for the Godfather. I tried to make my gf watch the movie a couple of times and she always fell asleep.

yup
haha notice i dont think any girls commented on this thread either
scarface is just manly aint it?
300 too
idk bout batman
its manly, but its batman so females saw it

Oh but you know about 300, females went nuts over it because of the half-nude dudes and the UFC-like abs of the actors.

Thats another stupid thing about the movie. They forgot to put their armors on....

In overall, I think about my favorite male actors and it's pretty much like this :

Al Pacino (especially for the godfather, scarface and also the devil advocate)
Denzel Washington (man on fire, training day, malcom x, and some more
Leonardo Dicaprio (the departed, blood diamonds )
What else... maybe Tom Hanks

Oh, I really liked Dustin Hoffman in Rainman too.

haha yea
haha
i think alot of the abs were sprayed on too

300 isn't based on the actual battle as much as it is based on a very stylistic graphic novel giving a fictionalized account of the battle.

I remember the director of the film saying that the movie was "90 % historically accurate"

I seriously laughed my off.

I'll encourage you to start a discussion of Al's performance(26 years ago) among friends and notice their passion then compare it to a Heath's which was just 2 to 3 years.

The fact Heath died changed the perception of many.

We all love Al Pacino, don't get me wrong. But Brian De Palma movies are usually overdone bloody massacres, which is fine if you like that. But he isn't an actor's director.
Like you I defended Scarface to the teeth until one friend said "Watch it again". I took him up on his challenge, and felt he was right.

I wonder how many of the staunch defenders of Al Pacino's acting in the film as powerfully moving and challenging have actually seen it in the last couple years.

They were talking about Heath's performance and Oscar before he died.

You must have been laughing when he went on to say it was more "opera than documentary" and called it a "fantasy film" narrated by a narrator who " who knows how not to wreck a good story with truth."
